03x05 - The Ex-Factor

Post by bunniefuu »

I see you, baby

Go ahead and flex…

So what are y'all talking about?

Just waiting for your arrival.

I saw your a*s on the board,
so I had to bring you into the house.

The first person I see is my ex
from Ultimatum. I'm like, " What the…"

-Everyone, JR.
-I can't believe this.

Obviously, me and AD had a great date,

but I feel like me and Sandy have
some unfinished business

from The Ultimatum days.

Sandy was my trial wife,
and we had a really good connection.

You're gonna turn off the light?

-Yes?
-Yeah.

However, we did not get
to fully experience our connection

due to her ex.

So it is in the back of my mind, like,
what if he was not involved?

What could we have become?

So, welcome to the house.

Welcome to the house, JR.

-I had to bring you in.
-Thanks for bringing me in, Sand.

-Sandy.
-Obviously.

Do you two know each other?

Yes. JR and I went through
the process together of Ultimatum,

and we… we did a trial marriage together.

-Wow.
-The whole bit. We married.

We did the whole thing.

This is really strange.

They lived together.

I got a special place
in my heart for Sandy.

-We've been through thick and thin.
-I know.

I'm going home.

sh*t's about to hit the fan. Pow!

Baby, this house is on fire

Better get out, better get out

Baby, this house is on fire…

Cheers to cenotes,
snorkeling, and fishies.

-And ceramics.
-And ceramics.

-And ceramics!
-Cheers, baby.

Cheers to fiddling with someone's rim.

-Whoo!
-What?

-Uh-oh.
-What, what?

What, what? What, what?

-That was so sneaky. No one saw!
-That came out of nowhere.

Guys, how we doing?

I see two new faces.

JR, Scott, welcome to the house.

-Thank you.
-Scott, let's start with you.

You were paired on a blind date
with Rachel. How'd that go?

Yeah, I feel like the conversation flowed.

Like, when she turned around, I was happy.

All right, so that covers
the physical chemistry thing.

-Thank you.
-I appreciate the honesty.

-AD.
-Yeah?

You were set up on a blind date with JR.

Um, the date was really good.
We did ceramics.

I couldn't have asked
for a better first date, to be honest.

-We had a really good conversation.
-For sure.

And we have a lot in common
that we didn't know. Like, a lot.

-Yeah.
-So I'm excited to get to know her better.

Nice.

Very uncomfortable, man. I can't lie.

Like, AD and I, we're so connected.

It just feels like an injustice
seeing her with another guy.

It's not looking good, bruv.

Tonight, there are seven gentlemen.

There are five ladies,

which means that two gentlemen

will be leaving here tonight.

So, the ladies are 100% in control.

Power

As soon as it begins…

Use these next few hours to mingle.

Leave it all on the table

because you don't wanna look back
and say, "I should've done more."

This is your opportunity to not only
continue to explore the match you're in,

but to explore any and all matches
available to you in the house.

Have a great night, guys.

-Thank you, Nick.
-Bye, Nick.

Power

As soon as it begins

Power…

Obviously, JR is
a really good-looking man.

-Come on, trying to have an ab challenge?
-Brother, you got me beat.

Ollie is in trouble,

especially because tonight,
the women hold the power.

It's gonna be quite interesting.

'Cause I'm hooked…

If I were the guys, I'd be scared.

'Cause I'm hooked…

-It's good to see you.
-I can't believe you're here.

Mmm.

-'Cause we haven't talked at all.
-Me too. I know.

I'm still looking at your stories though.
If that counts for anything.

Yeah, uh-huh. Well, I mean,
I… I follow you, obviously.

-Yeah.
-How you feeling, bruv?

This is the first time
I've been with a woman,

and I've got
more and more attracted to her every day.

I like that girl,

but the vibe I was getting is
she wants him to stay.

She wants him to stay?

Yeah, just 'cause she… she likes him.

That's mad.

-It's gonna be a wild night, Rude Boy.
-It is. Mmm.

Of course Sandy wants
to put me through it with JR,

'cause I can't lie,
I put her through it with Alex.

But there's not one human on this planet
that intimidates me,

except for Mike Tyson.

And even then, I'd bite his ear off.

-Can we girl chat?
-Yes.

Come get… come grab seats.
Pull up. Pull up.

-Okay. How's everyone doing?
-I should probably talk to JR.

He's a really, like, cool guy.
I'm, like, shook that he's here.

-The night needs to kinda go on.
-You haven't had one one-on-one time yet.

-People need to get their bearings.
-I know. Yeah.

We have ourselves a little love triangle.

And I'm in the middle.

Like, something is wrong with me.

-He's AD's type to a T.
-Yeah.

-Where's AD? Oh, she's talking to Ollie.
-She's talking to Ollie.

f*ck.

So how do you feel?

I know where my head's at.
I don't need to tell you.

It's always been you
as far as I'm concerned, you know that.

I know.

But it's up to you to tell me
if that's not how you feel.

Yeah.

Um…

No, we had a really good time.

I think
another conversation is definitely owed.

My thing is
I don't wanna be made a fool of.

I don't wanna be sitting here going--
Basically, this ain't the doctor's office.

I won't sit in a waiting room waiting for
you to be, like, "Come here, go there."

You understand what I'm saying?

You should kinda know. Like, is your heart
leading you this way or that way?

But if this has swayed your head,
then that's for you to sort out.

My heart and emotions are worried about
what AD is gonna do.

And I'm almost wishing I kept it
cold-hearted and just played the game.

'Cause then I wouldn't be
in a position where I feel

I've got the potential to be hurt.

I'm sure you're pretty stressed,
but you're glowing.

-No, I am.
-Okay, good.

-She has the power.
-Yeah.

-Yeah. Yeah.
-Yeah.

It was good.

He's so chill. It was refreshing.

I have to have one more.
'Cause I wanna see where his head's at.

'Cause he's gotta talk to all of you guys.
And he's probably gonna be, like--

And also, like,
he's just had a chat with Sandy.

Yeah. And then I'm thinking,

"Did she bring him in here for her?
Or for me?"

Yeah.

Uh, yeah.

-Let's go upstairs.
-Taking me up to your room already?

I'm really happy
with where I'm at with Louis.

But I'm not gonna lie,
he kinda put me through it the other night

when he went on a date with Alex.

So he can sweat and just stay quiet.

This is a little, like, um…

-a little loft room.
-Red room.

This is the first time that I'm seeing JR

since our last experience together
doing The Ultimatum.

Is there unfinished business with us?

Yeah, yeah.

I will say, he is looking damn good.

We had the kissing challenge yesterday,
and I won.

You won?
I don't know why I'm acting surprised.

-I remember them lips.
-Um… I know.

-Thank you. You know I try.
-What's good with you and little boy?

Um, so it's interesting because

I'm having, like,
a really good time with him.

Of course. You're Sandstorm.
You're just fire. You're a ball of energy.

"Sandstorm." Aw.

Um, yeah, he's… he's really great.

But I'm not gonna lie,
when I saw your name on that board,

I was like, "Ooh…"

I… I really kind of debated. I was like…

"Should I send myself on a date
and just kinda see?"

We had some good chemistry.
I'm not gonna lie.

Even, like, sometimes I'm like,
"I miss cuddling with Sandy."

We had some good cuddle nights.

Yeah. Um…

You gotta be a bad girl

Sometimes you gotta be
A bad, bad girl…

We definitely…
we had a good connection and vibe.

Yeah.

Spending time with Sandy today

has brought back so many memories
and feelings and connections.

Just being around her makes me feel good.

Laughing with her,
it did bring back feelings of,

"What if we were to get back together

and connect
and see what we possibly could be?"

I'm just like, "Do I have a shot?"
And I think I do.

But I also have
a strong connection with AD.

I feel like she was feeling me too.

-Can we go talk somewhere?
-Yeah, of course.

So I'm gonna go for it.

Regardless of what happens,
I'm not leaving.

Who's gonna choose someone over me?

That's not happening.

-This is really the vibes.
-Have you been in the pool yet?

Yeah. It's really nice.

Damn. I'd k*ll to see you in a swimsuit.

Mmm.

-Trouble. You know you're trouble too.
-Oh my--

-No, I… No, I don't.
-You do.

I'm just cooling. I'm literally cooling.

-I know you're trouble.
-I'm cooling. I'm cooling.

-And we can work out together too.
-That would be nice.

I would love that. I need that motivation.

Does Oggie work out?

It's Ollie.

Don't… Don't do that.

-My favorite thing to do is laugh.
-Yeah.

Like, ultimately, like,
I just wanna have a good time and--

-Yeah. Just have fun with it. I love that.
-Yeah.

When it gets too serious, I'm like…

"What are we doing?"

-I love that.
-Yeah.

-I don't like taking myself too serious.
-Yeah.

I've been in, like,
a lot of serious relationships.

I have been married before.

-Really?
-Yeah. When I was young.

-I got married at 22.
-sh*t.

And we did everything--
Like, my dad's a pastor.

And so we did everything the right way.
Like, I waited to have sex.

-Shut up!
-Yeah.

I was like,
"We're gonna be together forever."

-Shut up! Oh my God!
-I was so f*cking naive.

So we did all that. And then we ended up,
like, just growing apart.

-Oh sh*t.
-What do you think about that?

Like, dating someone
that's been married before.

I actually kinda f*ck with that.

Because I don't know
how much you know about my show,

but, like, I was ready to get married.

Yeah. Yeah, Love Is Blind.

Yeah.

So, I'm still very much marriage-minded.

I just feel like that makes me, like,

kinda take you more serious as well.

I am a little bit intrigued.

Like, there's a sense of,
like, maturity that I love.

The less information I knew about him,
the easier it was for me to not like him.

So now, I'm pretty conflicted.

You the whole package, girl.

Trying to cuddle with you tonight.

Oh my.

What do you think is gonna
happen tonight, though? JR, he likes AD.

I'm sure he does.

They went on a nice date.
He said it was great.

Well, apparently she's his type, so…

Yeah, that's-- I won't lie. You're right.

We could do some cardio tonight,
if you know what I mean.

She's loving this.

Of course she is.
She's loving watching me sweat.

The conversations we've had have been mad.

If she wants to throw that away
for a high-energy, flirty date,

it says more about her
than it does about me. I mean that.

For what is worth,
I think you're handling yourself well.

You're being mature. You're being secure.

While she's up there talking now,
she's watching you.

Even when you think she's not,
she's watching you.

It's make or break.

It's either gonna make us the strongest
we've been, or it's gonna end it.

I've got to hold my nerve, keep my cool,
and not show her any ch*nk in my armor.

But inside, I'm like,
"Yeah, is that how you get it on?"

I'm curious about where you're at with AD.

I like her energy, but I'm dating around,
like, trying to get to know everybody.

-Mm-hmm.
-Figure out what the situations are.

We'll see.
You never told me what your type is.

So it's so weird. I do not have,
like, a physical type at all.

-I love the short kings. I love--
-She said, "I love the short kings."

-I love all guys.
-She had to throw that out there.

-All the short kings in your DMs.
-No, truly. I like--

-It really is just about personality.
-Yeah.

JR is really cute.

He's so sweet.

And that's been, like,
my type typically in the past.

On the other hand, Scott makes me nervous

because he seems like
a little bit of a bad boy.

-When's your birthday?
-March 8th.

I love March Pisces.

Obviously, Rachel can still make
the decision to not match with me.

And even though Rachel's
just a stunning girl, I can't just settle.

Like, I've got to explore.

Madison, do you wanna go and have a chat?

-Sure.
-Let's go. Where do you wanna go?

Wherever.

Hey! Come on!

-You've been with Freddie.
-Yeah, I am.

-I ended up choosing Freddie for myself.
-Mm-hmm.

And that was, like, one of
the best decisions I've ever made.

You know when you're in high school,
and you feel a way about someone?

-Yeah.
-It's like that again.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-You know? Like…

He's just a sweetie.

I don't have a type at all.

The women I've dated
in the past are all so different.

Hold on. No, actually. I tell a lie.

To be honest,
I don't have a thing for blondes.

Like, if you look at the past,
it's usually, like, brunettes, really.

How are you? What's, uh… Jay? Ray.

-What's your name?
-Scott.

You literally put me on the date.

-Wait, I--
-This is a terrible start.

-Let's do a little… Sorry. Carry on.
-Sorry. Sorry.

Sorry, Scott. You're right.

Just call me Ray.

It's gonna be a long, long day.

-Lucy, do you wanna have a chat?
-Sure. Where do you wanna go?

-I don't know the villa. Take me.
-Yeah, I mean, no. Maybe over there?

Lucy's a very good-looking girl.
She's British.

And I like taking the piss.
I don't know if Americans say that,

but British girls,
they just know exactly what we're about.

-Should we just get in the pool?
-You wanna swim?

I'm gonna be eagle-eyeing
this conversation directly in front of me.

If this guy can pull my girl,

I don't… I don't know what I know.
Or what I thought I know.

-How old are you?
-Twenty-three.

-Ah.
-Yeah. How old are you?

How old do you think I am?

-Twenty-three. I'm just gonna be safe.
-Twenty-eight.

-Are you? You don't look 28. Sure.
-Thanks.

Scott's good-looking, however,

I'm done with younger men, so nope.

-Better go chat with someone else.
-I'm gonna go find someone else, yeah.

I've had enough of you now.

-Can I sit with you, please?
-Hmm…

-Whoa, bro.
-Should I let her?

-He is jealous, bro.
-Yeah.

I can't block you off
from doing what you want, but, like,

I feel I've been pretty good.
I've been good.

-It's a hard… Like, it's a hard balance.
-I've been good.

Yeah, you have been good, but,
like, it is a hard balance. I get that.

Yeah. You deserve the world,
whether that's me or someone else, you do.

You know that.

What? Don't say that.
That makes me wanna cry.

You do. You do. You know that. Trust me.

-Hmm. Good?
-Yeah.

I'm just glad we're good.

-Of course we are.
-I'm really glad.

-So you're my perfect match?
-Of course.

Or are you that guy?

The kind I seem to go for every night

Reliably unreliable…

I'm happy with my match.
I'm not changing my match.

I'm not perfect. Daniel's not perfect.

But my goal coming into Perfect Match
wasn't to find the perfect person.

It was to find my perfect match.
And I think I have.

Clayton looks like he doesn't know
what to do with himself, and I feel bad.

I know.

How are you doing?

I'm just bummed
because, like, I always wanna be better.

I felt bad for her.
But you couldn't have done much more

to rectify the situation
by doing what you did.

-We'll catch up in a bit.
-I appreciate you. Absolutely.

This may be
the last day in the house for me.

I really don't feel that

there's anything here
for me at this moment.

-Rachel, can I talk with you?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course.

I don't have the best reputation,

and I'm wanting to avoid
being the bad guy,

but I don't know if that's doable
after everything that I put her through.

I just wanted to pull you aside
just to tell you I'm sorry.

I'm upset with myself
because my intuition told me that,

"Well, let's just give this a shot,"

and ultimately, like,
my intuition was wrong.

So it's just on me.
It's really just on me.

And I wish I could've understood

the way that I felt right away
when you walked in, but I didn't.

As far as protecting somebody,
you know I'm extra cautious with you,

and…

I just wish
I would've went about it better. Sorry.

It was hard for me
to, like, let my guard down,

and I did it because I wanted to,
and I want you to know that. Like…

I did want to… to see what happened.

And then, for, like,
my biggest fears, in a way,

to, like, manifest so quickly,
it triggered me.

Yeah.

I was humiliated 'cause I was,
like, so scared to take that risk.

Yeah.

Rachel, you're an incredible person.

Like, I genuinely was so happy
to see you walk through this door

because there's very few people
that understand what I've been through.

And the last thing I want
is for you to come in here

and travel all this way to say,

"Wow. My experience was soured
by somebody from my past."

I've hurt you enough.

And I'm just honestly just pissed off
about it. 'Cause, like…

I've just hurt you enough.

And I can't do it anymore, and you deserve

to really pour your all
into this experience.

-I'm still a work in progress.
-Yeah.

Just know that I really do
want you to just find happiness.

I know.

Time slowly slipping away

We're running out of words to say…

Us breaking up for the third time

is obviously the most humiliating thing
that's ever happened.

But it is the closure I needed,

so now I truly can put this to bed
for the rest of my life,

and that's kind of just the end of it.

Thank you so much. I do appreciate it.

It's bittersweet to realize
I won't be able to wake up tomorrow

and spend time
with all these incredible people,

but I've learned a lot about myself
while being here.

How do I go

From laughing to crying…

I really feel
that my journey was meant to be

exactly as what it ultimately led to.

I don't regret one bit
bringing Rachel into this house,

and now it gives both of us closure.

Ooh

Clayton has all day been,
like, in his feels.

I think he did do a good thing for you.

Yeah, I think so too.

I'm just so looking forward
to, like, something fresh.

I had a great time with Scott.

Like, he's so attractive.

I just feel like he needs someone,
like, feistier than me.

I don't know. Maybe I'm overthinking,
and, like, making excuses,

and trying to, like,
close myself off 'cause I'm afraid.

I mean, also there's JR.

-I know.
-You have the power.

I think it's a great idea
for Rachel to explore options.

You can't get pigeonholed so early on,

which is rich coming from me, but…

Have you had a nice night?

Yeah, I always miss you
when I don't see you.

-Really?
-Mm-hmm.

I have loved everything
I've gotten to know about Freddie.

He understands me in a way

that I just, like, haven't felt before.

He just feels like a unicorn to me.

Like, I have heart emojis in my eyes.

You know something I realized?

Meeting you has just, like,

upped my standard for men.

Don't be daft.

No, I'm… I'm being serious.

That's like a big… a big thing for me.

For real.

Aw, thank you.

You're so sweet. And I appreciate you.

I do really like you, you know that?

-Do you?
-Yeah.

-You mean it?
-Mm-hmm.

Are you just saying that
because I'm in the power tonight?

Zoinks!

"She's onto me!"

-No one is you.
-And no one is you.

Will you be my match?

-Yeah. It has to come from the girl.
-Just kiss me for a little bit.

Something's on fire

Honey, you got what they desire

Glam up, you know what's up?

I got plans
And tonight it's just about us 'cause…

-I'm thankful I found you.
-Yeah, same.

Seal the deal.

At this point in the night,
the couples are coupling,

and I'm trying to figure out,
you know, what my decision is.

-JR. Come sit. Yeah.
-Talk real quick?

And it's not an easy decision.

How are you?

-Everybody's cool. All the girls here.
-Yeah, everybody's cool. I mean…

-Obviously, I brought you here, you know.
-Yeah.

You are a familiar face.
I know you very well.

We've been through a lot together, and--

I keep saying,
"Y'all will never understand

what me and Sandy have been through."

Like, you do not understand.

And just in general, like,
connection-wise, obviously,

you know what… what we had,

-but, um…
-Yeah.

…there was a part of me too
where I'm like,

"I wanna see how I feel, I guess,
seeing you, and…

seeing what that would do."

How do you feel?

I don't know.

Oh man.

Love

Love

Love…

I'm starting to get nervous

because I need to find out
where Sandy's head's at.

-You wanna… Yeah.
-What? Talk?

Sandy and JR have a history.

If she wants to rekindle it,
I'll move on to my future.

How did the conversation go?

You know.

Do I?

I don't know.

I mean, it was good. You know.

I really like him,
and we did have a connection.

Yeah.

If he did stay in,

you would get to build on
what you had to a better extent

because it's a different environment.

Is that… is that
what you were thinking, or…

No, I mean… I don't… I don't know.

Obviously, I'd be lying if I said
you didn't, like, put me through it.

-And I am mad at you for that.
-And I apologize.

But I was in my head.

-And that's my imma… immaturity.
-I don't care.

Babe, that was my fault,
and I told you that,

and that's why I apologize for that.

And I never thought, like,
"Hmm, let me make Sandy sweat."

-But that hurts, you know?
-Yeah.

And I get that it hurts,

and I don't…

wanna put you through that again,
and I'm sorry.

I am sorry.

-Would you like to match with me today?
-No.

-You know I like a little bit of sass.
-I know. You have plenty of sass.

I'm just kidding. Yes.

If I let you hit this
Don't get addicted

I just wanna party
Don't care about what your ex did

This ain't what you want

Ain't no misses

Cross your name off on my hit list

This ain't what you want…

The past few days have really opened
my eyes to what I have with Louis.

I'm catching feelings,

and they're just getting
stronger and stronger as we go on.

Wow.

With JR, my heart and my gut is telling me

I think it's best
we leave that in the past.

I care for him deeply
as a friend, as a person.

And I want to see him happy
with somebody here,

but it's not gonna be me.

Oh f*ck.

I tried my best with Sandy,
but my best wasn't enough.

Let's talk over here.

As far as AD,
the vibe between us is great.

-I feel like I have it on lock.
-Yeah.

But to be honest, I am a little bit toxic,

and so I may rile you up a little bit

just to see if you get jealous
that another girl was talking to me.

Sit with me.

You should be concerned

that another girl could steal me
'cause I'm a f*cking stud.

How are you feeling?

-Trying to feel out my connections.
-Yeah.

I'll split that conversation up
in two minutes.

If they couple up,
I'm going home and getting drunk.

How long do I give it
before "right, come on?"

I'll be honest with you.
Do what you want. I'd go after her.

I'm honestly so glad
that you're truly trying to figure it out.

I feel we'd have fun together.

We would, right?

-Yeah, I feel we would vibe.
-I know.

Yeah.

Say my name…

Rachel.

Sorry, JR, mate. Can I pull Rachel?

-Is that all good?
-Yeah, for sure, man.

Hi.

-C'mon, you.
-We'll chat.

Aight.

It's coming towards the end of the night,

and it's
an absolute eleventh-hour pull by JR

after it didn't work
between him and Sandy.

So, nice try, JR,

but I'm pretty confident that
we're going to be matching up tonight.

There's a route into the house,
which is the most important thing tonight.

No.

I can't say that.
That is not the thing to say.

From the moment you turned around
in the Cenote, or whatever it is

from the pond, I've been like,
"Yeah, that's… that's a bit of me."

A bit of you?

Why'd you say it in a British accent?

-There's no need--
-You have to teach me the Welsh accent.

But yeah, I've been like,
"Yeah, she's… she's a bit of me."

And it genuinely has felt
more like a chore to talk to everyone

than something I've wanted to do
and get to know them.

Like, I've wanted to know them
on a friendship level.

It's been pretty much you.

I mean, you can talk to everyone else.
I've only said good things about you.

Obviously, we have a connection.

We do.

And as much as I really wanna open
myself up to this process, of course,

get to know everyone,
I feel like tonight I felt

very comfortable with you.

Mm-hmm.

But I owe it to myself
to go with my gut tonight

-and kind of go where I wanna go…
-Mm-hmm.

…and I feel like-- I don't know.

We should probably match tonight.

I think we should too.

Let's match.

Come sit with me.

You're like a six-foot model

You're a message in a bottle

Hot damn, hot damn

You shake me up like Boggle

Turning heads like Aristotle

Hot damn, hot damn…

You're gonna be trouble for me.

-Why am I gonna be trouble?
-You're trouble.

I think, at this point,
I really do need a change.

What I'm doing is clearly not working,

so maybe I need a little bit of a bad boy.

I came in here to take a risk,
and that risk is Scott.

Oh, they're making out.

-AD. Go talk to her again.
-Yeah. She's said, "We'll talk again."

I want AD out of everyone here.
Like, it's AD or nothing at this point.

How are you doing?

You know, if I eye something or someone,

I'mma go after it and get it.

Where you been?

Bopping around.

Damn, you miss me?

I was wondering what you were up to.

You know, just waiting for you
to get done with your conversation.

Once you're in the JR zone,
it's a wrap. I got you.

I'm like a scorpion. It's like…

I got my stinger in you. That's over.

I had a really good date with you today.

-Yeah.
-And I just, like, appreciated

how soft and kind
and genuine and, like, funny you were.

-Thank you.
-I needed that comic relief.

I really did. Yeah.

That was fun, yeah.
Thank you for being yourself.

-You're such a dope soul.
-Of course. Oh, thank you.

I could tell, we have, like,
good energy and good vibes. Like…

-It'd just be fun without trying.
-Yeah.

-That's what I'm looking for.
-Yeah. Yeah.

And it's a plus when you're, like,

sexually attracted to somebody too,
you know what I mean?

-Yeah. That doesn't hurt.
-I dunno how you feel, but…

No, you're handsome.
You're very handsome. Very attractive.

Should have, like, an ab contest.

I feel like
you got me beat, though. 'Cause…

What?

-Stop.
-Are you sucking in?

-No.
-You are.

I'm literally just maxing and relaxing.

Damn.

I saw some man,
like, touching you and sh*t.

How'd you feel about that?

-I was a little jealous. Like…
-Shut up. You're so stupid.

Who's that man touching my girl like that?

-Should I intervene? Is she okay?
-You're literally silly.

-You are silly. That's too much.
-Okay.

How are you feeling?

I'm really feeling you, to be honest.

Oh.

What I'm looking for…

I definitely feel like
I'm in the driver's seat tonight.

I think all my ladies are feeling
pretty content in their matches,

so, in essence, it's up to me to decide
whether JR stays in the house.

I'm showing you my back ink.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Go ahead. Yeah. Go ahead.

Or if Ollie stays in the house.

Can I talk to you for a second?

But if they're sweating a little extra,

and I had something to do with it…

…my bad.

I was sweating a bit when you was away.

Sweating a bit when you walked in,
but ultimately, I was just like…

You held it together.
I'm very proud of you.

-I'm proud of us.
-Yeah?

I know you better than that
to overlook what we have

just because this guy's coming in hot.
I knew that.

It took me a while to go, "I'm dumb."
You know what I mean?

It's been you from day one.

This is my thing.

I feel more connected with you
than with my fiancée on Love is Blind,

which sounds crazy, but it's true.

Nothing comes closer
Than the beat of your heart

I could've never dreamed of this

I just want you to know
that I love our connection,

and I'm happy where I'm at
and I'm not matching with him.

-I appreciate that.
-Yeah.

I wanna match with you too. You know I do.

-Come here. I really like you, baby.
-I really f*ck with you.

Oh-oh-oh

-I appreciate you.
-I appreciate you too.

Feeling some kind of way

Oh-oh-oh…

I'm so glad we passed this test.

Feeling some kind of way…

You mean so much to me.

I've been waiting to see this energy,
this grown man.

Like, he is so calm and collected,
and that is so attractive to me.

We know that we have, like,
an unbreakable bond,

so Ollie is really the only one
that I wanna be matched with. Period.

Oh sh*t.

-I wanna say goodbye.
-You too, man.

I did come in a little c*ck.

Like, I knew, like,
once I got in the house, I wasn't leaving.

But, you know, it didn't work out.

You got a good one, man. Sandy.

-Yeah, I know.
-She's that girl.

I've tried my best
to make a connection with all the girls,

and I don't have any regrets.

I'm not giving up
on finding my perfect match.

I know she's out there somewhere.

This was just a test for me,
so we'll see what happens.

I'll keep searching.
I'm not giving up though.

Go ahead, babe.

And that's a wrap.

You-u-u-u…

Yeah, man

You like that?

You have no idea how happy I am.

-Don't ever do that to me again.
-I didn't do anything!

I'm getting more
and more attracted to you every day.

Aw. Me too.

It's a moth. Oh my God, it's huge.

I hit it out.

Are we ready? Oh my God.

I'll stand by you…

We have a pool.

Through it all, sink or swim

Oh-oh…

I wanna get to the boardroom, and I wanna
go,"Right. We're f*cking this up."

-'Cause you wanna watch the drama?
-Yes.

When the waves roll in

I'll be holding your hand

I'll stand by you-u-u-u

You-u-u-u

When I realized we'd match,
I was so happy.

When we were by the bar,
and you was all cuddles and smiles,

I was like, "Oh, she's back."

It's feeling really good waking up
next to Ollie after the night that we had.

It feels like we're stronger than ever.

-I love being next to you.
-Me too.

I got that ooh feeling

Take in the sun shining…

Literally, leave me with my man.
We're good over here.

What are you gonna wear?

For the challenge, I've got no idea.
Are you ready to find your husband?

-Absolutely.
-I am.

I got that ooh feeling…

I wanna put, like, w*r paint on.
Something, like, that's very, like…

Oh yeah, like we're going to w*r.

We are going to w*r
'cause we're gonna win.

Ooh

I got gigawatts

Flowing through my body

Hyper beams all up in my bloodstream

Gigawatts…

-Ah, I love the physical.
-Oh my God!

-Oh my God!
-Hey, let's go!

I could light a city up
With my middle finger…

-How we doing, big man?
-You guys look very sporty today.

-Come on in, guys.
-Oh my God.

I want to welcome our new couple,

Rachel and Scott.
You got together last night. How was that?

-It was good.
-Good, yeah.

We relearned each other's names.

Yeah, yeah. She told me how she'd been
with 30 guys on The Bachelor.

-Okay.
-Oh.

Yeah. Slay girl.

With that, I wanna welcome you
to our very next compatibility challenge.

Whoo!

Today, we're gonna be testing
your physical chemistry.

There we go.

This is a not-so-little game we like
to call Work That Pole.

Hey!

I think we've taken this show too far.

This is no longer Perfect Match.
This is a different show.

Work it. Oh yeah.

Oh my God.

-Rise…
-Oh yeah.

Why's it going up?

Rise!

You're gonna have to gyrate.

-Twerk.
-"Gyrate."

Whatever it takes to move that structure

and drop those ba*ls into the water.

It'll be a lot of ba*ls getting relieved.

If anyone falls into the water,

your couple is automatically disqualified
from the competition.

Wait. What?

All right.
The first couple to release the ba*ls

will be the winners
of today's compatibility challenge.

They will head out on a date tonight

and have a chance
to visit me in the boardroom.

-Yes!
-Oh!

We got this.

I am gonna work so hard
to win this challenge.

But when it starts going up,
I'm gonna… I'm gonna scream.

-Daniel can find out I'm a screamer.
-There you go.

We haven't won a challenge yet.
We need to win a challenge.

I want a date with Daniel.
I just wanna be able to dress up

and look good,
and Daniel will be like, "Whoa. Wow."

I'm like, "Oh, this whole thing?
I just threw this on. Oh my God."

Wanna be a good stripper?

Somehow, someway, we get the blue ba*ls.

Stop.

It's actually pretty fitting.
Louis has had blue ba*ls this entire time.

-We're gonna win. I have a feeling.
-I have a feeling we're gonna win.

Just hold on no matter what. I got you.

Oh my God.

Oh no, it's getting higher. Help!

-Hey, yo. Go higher!
-We can't fall off of this!

Oi! Go higher! Go higher!

Are you guys kidding me?

This platform is, like, beyond unstable.

Like, more unstable
than my last relationship. Okay?

Are you guys ready?

-Yeah.
-No.

-Yeah!
-Yes!

My girl's got the craziest hips,
so you lot are going down, bruv.

On your marks.

Get set…

I'm not doing this.

Go!

Oh sh*t!

-Start that gyrating.
-Oh f*ck.

Oh my God. It's slippery.

It's all in the motion, guys.
All in the motion.

-That's the motion.
-Yeah.

All right, off to a slow start.
We got no ba*ls in the water.

Right, we need a system.

Ours don't move.

Oh my God.

You guys,
not even one person has a ball out.

You guys look great.

Yo, come on.

I swear, this is a physics issue.
It's not us.

-I don't know how we're doing this.
-This is so hard!

No ba*ls are moving at all for anyone.

I don't think it's working.

This has never happened to me before.

So, I'm gonna bring it this way.
I'll come to you, and we're gonna pop it.

-Stay there.
-No! Wait. What?

-You'll come to me, and we'll pop it?
-We'll pop it.

-This way.
-Let's go this way.

I'm scared.

Louis, wait. No, stop. Louis, stop.

Hey, we got one in!

Oh, how'd they do that?

-They got one.
-They got one. f*ck!

I ain't letting Louis beat me.

-He's a prick.
-Oh my God.

My God. No way.

Two in!

Way to go, team Blue ba*ls!

Me and Sandy have not practiced
the humping technique,

so this is a good time
to, uh, give it a first test run, I guess.

-I've got two blue ba*ls.
-Ollie. Wait, wait, wait. Ollie!

Oh my God! Oh!

Oh, we got a yellow one in!
Ollie and AD have got one in.

Whoo. Whoo.

We got a pink one in!

There we go!

Jesus Christ.

-Yes.
-Got a green one in!

Dropping ba*ls, baby!

Louis has got four ba*ls in!

Five ba*ls in!

Wait, wait.

I don't know what Louis and Sandy
are doing, but tell us your secrets!

Gotta keep track…

Oh yes!

Another green one in!

Blue ba*ls!

Six ba*ls in for team Blue ba*ls!

Louis and Sandy are squarely in the lead.

Keep it going, guys! You're almost there!

Just keep it pushing…

Keep going! Bounce!
Now bounce, now bounce!

…and we'll absolutely smash this.

Yeah!

-Hold on, I don't wanna fall in.
-I'm scared.

Oh sh*t!

Louis! No!

Wait, now you left me up here.

Team Blue ba*ls is disqualified.

f*ck!

Are you kidding me?

-How did Louis do that?
-Focus!

Oh my God,
this challenge is ridiculously hard.

I am, like, out of breath…

Yeah.

…sweating…

…screaming…

Wait, wait, wait,
just let me feel my hands.

But I'm not gonna lie.
I actually don't know if I can keep going.

We're the only ones without a ball.

We've gotta get one.

Orange is still not on the scoreboard.

What the f*ck?

Ow!

-We got one!
-Two pink ones. There you go, guys.

Oh my God.

Three pink ones in.

Ow! My vag*na!

Four pink ones in.

Could this be the week
Daniel and Lucy make it to the boardroom?

Back.

Oh yes!

Madison's going for gold.

Oh yes!

-Sweating, and shaking…
-Back.

-Oh yes! That was good.
-f*ck.

-…gritting her teeth.
-Yes.

Oh!

-Oh!
-Come on! Yes.

Oh yes!

I'm all for it.

Dude, come, come…

There you go!

Whoo! Another one!

Another pink one in.

I can't see.
I've got, like, sweat in my eyeballs.

Yeah!

Pretty good. Pretty good. There we go!

Oh!

-Pink only has three left.
-Jesus.

Another green one in.
Guys, you've gotta catch up.

You're doing great.
We've got a good rhythm.

Yes! Yes!

Come on!

-Oh my God. Yes!
-Oh! One left!

So close.

Oh f*ck.

Another green one in!

Oh my God.

God. Go in!

So close!

Oh my God. Oh my God. That was--

Hey, we have a winner!

Ah.

-Daniel and Lucy.
-Ah!

You are the winner
of today's compatibility challenge!

You'll head out on a date tonight,
and I will see you in the boardroom.

Well done, guys!

Winners!

It's about damn time.
At first, we were struggling. I won't lie.

-I think I ran into her, like, four times.
-You smacked me.

Whatever it took to win.
We had to get it done, so…

We finally get to go on a date together,
which I feel like we definitely deserve.

-I'm super happy about that.
-Date!

Also the boardroom,
so finally some control.

Nick Lachey, please be nice.

I didn't wanna let you down and fall off.
That was all.

Oh wow

Oh-oh, oh wow

Oh wow

Oh sh…

-What is this?
-This is so cool. What is this?

Hi.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Hey.
-Take a seat, please.

Thank you so much.

Today, we are going to be
tying each other up.

-I am so excited.
-So…

Have you ever tied or been tied?

I have rope, but no one's ever
actually used it, which is really sad.

So…

Yeah, I've never… I've never done it,
but I'm definitely excited to do it.

-Good.
-This is great!

Today, I'm going to try to show you
the rope as a tool of connection.

But it's really nice
when you have trust and care.

I'm definitely feeling good
about our connection.

I'm pretty sure
Daniel's also feeling pretty good.

I do generally think
that I'm with my match. Like,

the chemistry, the sexual chemistry,
the attraction, like, it's all there.

And I know I'm amazing, so…

Te quiero, mami…

Mmm.

All right.

Come a little bit closer, oh

I just love to see you do what you do

You gotta do it for nobody but me…

I like you being wrapped around me.

I like being in control.

It makes me hot.

Show me everything
That you're made of, oh

My turn.

Te quiero, papi…

Mmm.

Nice and slowly

Then speed it up, speed it up
Show me, show me…

Mmm.

I just want to feel you
All over me, oh

Why is rope so sexy?

So cruel, keep you crawling

Begging on your knees
Crawling back to me, babe…

That was really nice.

-Cheers to our first actual win.
-Our first win together.

The first of many.

I feel like every one we've done so far,
we've become, like, closer together.

I felt like it was good
for us to win, though.

-Yeah, it was.
-I know we work well as a team.

-We do.
-I was getting annoyed we weren't winning.

I was like, "I want everyone to see
that we are a good team. We can win."

I'm happy.

Oh. How do you feel about the boardroom?

I feel like we gotta be
putting people on dates

where it's gonna make sense

and not just put people on dates
for no reason. Right?

Yeah, it's a game, but, like,
for me, I think the game is,

test people's relationships,
and then, in the end,

last man standing basically.

It's one of those things
I don't even know what'll happen.

Yeah. I mean,
I'm pretty sure it's gonna be girls.

-I think so.
-'Cause last time, it was two guys.

Based on the patterns of how it went.

And will you put yourself on a date?

Everyone keeps saying,
and Nick's reiterating to us…

-Yeah.
-…to have your options open.

It's definitely a lot
to consider and think about

'cause everyone's like,
"Oh, well, you guys haven't been tested."

You know, it's definitely…
It's an option for me.

Don’t bring your trouble here

No more

No more

You know that w*r can't be won

What's that?

Is that a glass eye?

That's just weird.

-What is that?
-I don't know.

My eyes have always made that noise.

-Yeah. That's weird.
-Is it?

I wanna play Ping-Pong.

I smashed up the new fellow in Ping-Pong.

-Scott? Scottie?
-It's my sport.

He's a really nice guy.

Is he? Does he like Rachel?

-Yeah. He really does, actually.
-Okay, good. Good.

What's the oldest you've ever dated?

A three-and-a-half-year age gap.

-So I would be the oldest?
-Yeah.

Whoa.

Are you ready for that? A cougar?

Yeah.

-And I'm gonna be robbing the cradle.
-Robbing the what?

Do you have that saying?
"Robbing the cradle"?

It's like saying you're a baby,
and I'm stealing you out of your bed.

No, you get in the bed with the baby.

Please.

That's the end of this conversation.

I actually really enjoy
me and Scott's banter.

Now that we've gotten into a groove

and we understand each other's humor,

I feel so happy,
so confident with my choice,

and I do feel like
he's feeling the same way.

Take advantage of me whenever you want.

You take my breath away

I keep running circles
Around your heart

You're always on my mind

Got me losing track of time

And I keep running circles

You have no underwear?

Of course, you're gonna go commando. Wow!

-No.
-Okay, you go commando on your date.

-And if I go, I'll go commando.
-Yeah.

I am genuinely scared.

Daniel says
that if he sees someone on the board,

that he's open
to putting himself on a date…

Trying to be mature

Trying to be an adult

But it's hard

If that's the decision he makes,
Crazy Lucy might come out.

Lucy es muy loca.

Bye, friends!

-Bye!
-Don't forget how much I love you!

-Make good choices, Daniel.
-No, we're good. We got this.

Flood it up

Let's flood it up

-I'm nervous.
-Oh my gosh.

I'd actually rather do the challenge
again yesterday than do this.

'Cause I'm so nervous.

Oh God.

Boo!

-What's up, guys?
-Hi!

-How are you? Welcome to the boardroom.
-Oh. Nice fit.

-Thank you.
-Nice to be here.

Where the, uh, matching magic happens,
as they say.

-Well, guys. This is it.
-Oh God.

-Now I feel sick! Oh, I can't!
-Don't feel sick.

I'm so nervous!

-Don't be nervous.
-Oh.

-I am.
-This is the big board.

Now, on the bottom of the board,

you'll find our other
four less compatible couples.

Now for the fun part.

Let's meet our four
brand-new eligible singles.

We have Ray from Love Island.

I'm a lover boy.
I'm also extremely competitive.

Message for the fellas,

"Y'all should be shook. One of
y'all ladies is about to get taken."

Jalen from Too Hot to Handle.

You're gorgeous.
I like to think that I'm handsome.

You are.

Olivia Rae from Temptation Island.

I'm very secure in myself
and very confident.

It's fairly obvious
that my looks are intimidating.

I feel like Olivia's your type.

Oh, no comment. Okay. Cool.

And Justine from Love Island.

I'm a mix of a lot of things.
That's why I feel I am the full package.

You can get
a little bit of sweet and savory.

You can get salty, spicy.
I'm all the things.

Wow.

Now, I would love for you guys
to take a look at all these other couples,

and rank them, if you would,
from least compatible to most compatible.

Okay.

Rachel and Scott are just new.

I don't really know Scott that well yet,
and I don't know them as a couple at all.

-Do you know what I mean? It's a match.
-Sure.

Most compatible, uh,
if I went with my gut instinct…

-These two. Ollie and AD.
-This'd be the most compatible.

-Are most compatible? Okay.
-Yes.

Who else would you be considering
as the second most compatible?

-Louis and Sandy.
-It would be Louis and Sandy.

Which is something, you know,
I didn't necessarily see in the beginning,

-but now they have been tested…
-Mmm.

…and, um, I feel like they've been
getting stronger every day as well. So…

But I actually maybe would say

Freddie and Madison because…

-Really?
-…they have a good connection as well.

I know they wouldn't
put themselves on dates.

Louis and Sandy would
potentially be more open.

I know that. They're not.

-Okay, all right. We can agree on that.
-Yeah.

So, where are you landing with this?
Are we… are we in agreement on this?

These two it is pretty close, but I'm okay
with Freddie and Madison. Yeah.

Yeah.

So, these are the only two couples today

that are eligible to be sent on dates.

Our goal here today is to give
these two most compatible couples

an opportunity
to truly test their compatibility.

So, as always, you'll be sending
two people on a date today.

Yeah.

The difference is this time around,
you're gonna be sending one man

and one woman,
and they cannot be from the same couple.

-Oh!
-Understand?

-Yeah.
-Okay.

Whoever you choose,

their current match will be
asked to leave the house.

You're not only choosing
who you're sending on dates.

You're choosing
who's gonna be asked to leave the house.

What?

Oh, you know I'm ready

Let's get, get, get it

I was born to win
I ain't never been second

I look up in the mirror
All I see is a legend

And I'mma leave my mark
So you'll never forget it

When the lights shine bright
And the clock winds down

I'mma, I'mma show the world
That I'm running it now

I'mma, I'mma show the world
That I'm running it now

This is my moment
I'm going all out

It's go time

Go time

Green light

Green light

It's my time

My time

Green light

It's go time
