01x01 - Love is the End Game

[bunniefuu]

[upbeat music playing]

Sup, guys?

I'm Nick Lachey.

As you may have already heard,

I've got a bit of experience

in the love department.

So, when Netflix was looking for somebody

to help their most eligible singles

get a second shot at romance,

well, they only had to make one call.

To me.

Obviously.

Ten men and women have been invited

to find their perfect match.

Can you feel it… ♪

-Wanna match with me?

-You know you're my perfect match?

[Nick] As they match up,

you know there's gonna be fireworks.

[man] Oh my God!

[Nick] We wanna see how compatible

each couple really is.

So, we'll put 'em to the test.

[woman] This is heavy!

-[man] Ooh!

-[woman] Is he okay?

[Nick] The most compatible couples

will have the power to invite new singles.

-Let's look at Abbey.

-She's crazy.

Let's see how she looks with Bartise.

[Nick] And send them on blind dates

with anyone from another couple.

Gonna lock in this match.

[Nick] Will they create better matches…

It must be someone good!

It must be someone juicy!

…or will they create chaos?

I just went on an amazing date.

I'm not gonna go back and forth.

[woman] Hello, I wanted a word with you.

I should be a villain.

Anyone left without a match

will have to leave… alone.

Embarrassing for me.

[sobbing]

If you don't find a match, you go home.

I'm staying in this f*cking house.

[all] Aww!

[Nick] At the end, only one couple

will be crowned the Perfect Match.

All in the name of love.

[woman laughing]

That was sexy!

It's time to let go ♪

[funky music playing]

Last time I tried to find love on TV,

the guy proposed to me with a Ring Pop.

Who does that?

My name is Francesca Farago,

and you may recognize me

from "Breaking All the Rules"

on Season 1 of span style="style2"Too Hot to Handle.

I am so excited to find my perfect match.

It's gonna sound so conceited to say,

but I usually get what I want.

If I want someone, I will get them.

I'm cute. I have great boobs.

I'm great in bed, and I'm super sexy.

So I don't really need

to try that hard, to be honest.

Oh my God.

Oh my God!

["True Love" by Ms. Triniti playing]

[man] What up?

Is that who I think it is?

[whispering] Oh my God, it's Joey.

Daddy P, and Spike T playing]

What's good, baby? My name is Joey Sasso,

and I'm the winner

The Circle.

When it comes to my type,

everyone makes fun of me.

Blonde, blonde, blonde.

I love blondes. It is what it is.

Yo!

What?

I wanna find my perfect match.

I believe she is here,

and I am gonna leave with her.

Mark my words.

Woo, baby!

I'm Nick, and I'm from

The Circle, Season 3.

Casual view here.

Play it off.

We know what we're doing. We're cool.

-[gentle guitar playing]

-I went to MIT. I'm a big numbers guy.

And I actually wrote

an algorithm that took my info

and a bunch of other cute girls' info,

ran the numbers,

and if Francesca's here,

we might have some problems

because she's probably the hottest girl

I've ever seen in my life.

-[guitar music ends abruptly]

-Welcome!

f*ck!

-Francesca. Nice to meet you.

-[Nick] Good to meet you

-You look good.

-Long time no see.

How you doing? Good to see you.

[Francesca] How are you?

What reality show were you?

-Circle.

span style="style1"-What season?

-Three.

-Okay. I haven't seen that one yet.

-Wow.

-I haven't seen you in so long.

-I know. Yeah.

-[Joey] It's been a minute.

It's been a while.

I see Francesca, which is unexpected.

I remember when her show came out,

we were partying.

Long story short, we ended up

hooking up a few times.

I know.

[expl*si*n]

Crazy.

I wouldn't say it complicates things

that Francesca's here.

I just keep thinking one thing.

Things are gonna get dirty,

they're gonna get raw,

and they're gonna get weird real quick,

and I'm here for all of it.

So, are you finding love when you're here?

I mean, I hope so. What about you?

Hundred percent,

at some point, I'm in that pool naked.

[Francesca] Everyone's gonna be naked

in there, I think.

by Raphael Lake & Aaron Levy playing]

I'm Anne-Sophie. I'm from span style="style2"Selling Tampa,

and I'm here to find my perfect match.

Honestly, I have yet to meet the man

that truly makes me feel like a queen.

Hello!

[in French] My name is Ines.

[in English] I'm a romantic.

Two people I'd really like to meet

would be, um, Shayne

Love is Blind, Season 2

and Nick from span style="style2"The Circle US, Season 3.

Love is Blind.

I'm most known

for getting left at the altar.

Plain and simple.

-Hi.

-[Francesca] Welcome, welcome.

-What up?

-Guess the marriage didn't work out.

[Francesca] Savage comment!

-Hey, I'm Ines.

-[Shayne] Oh! [laughs]

Nick, Shayne. Crazy, right? [chuckles]

what we're all coming here for. Love.

Yo!

Who's here? The more the merrier.

Hey, I'm Zay.

The last time my love brought me on TV,

she dumped me. [laughs]

-Zay, nice to meet you.

-Hi, Zay.

This time there's no ultimatum.

At this point, I'm very, very single.

-You want a hug?

-We hug around here!

I am so single, it's disgusting.

I've been ready to find love

Hi.

[Joey] Oh my God!

[Kariselle] My biggest goal in life is

to really have that once in a lifetime,

Can you hear me say hello ♪

-It's been a while.

-It's been a really long time. Yeah.

[Joey] Kariselle and Francesca.

that I've had familiar relations with.

That sounds really douchey.

Hi. I'm Savannah,

I can be competitive for love,

but isn't love always the endgame?

I really feel like

my perfect match could be here.

This house is sick!

-What up, Sav?

-Hey! What's up, Joey?

-How are you?

-Good to see you.

-You look good in red.

-Thank you. Meet the friends.

We got friends!

-Hey, what is up?

-What up, Savannah?

-How you doing? [laughs]

-[Savannah] What is up?

[Savannah] Sorry to step on your shoes!

-They're just white shoes.

-Good color choice.

-Shayne. Nice to meet you.

-I'm Savannah!

[Joey] We know who's here now!

This is crazy.

So I noticed you

vibing with the girl in the red.

I'm wearing blue.

-We think there's a color situation?

-Yeah.

[Shayne] I don't match.

[Nick] There's no one here for you. So--

-I just--

span style="style2"-Capisce? Gotta go right back.

-Hey, guys!

-[all cheering]

[woman] Hey!

-I don't mean to interrupt!

-Hello!

-Come on over.

-[woman] Okay.

Inside I'm fangirling

'cause, obviously, it's Nick Lachey.

[ding]

Nick Lachey is here right now!

Amazing.

He's got that Big Nick energy.

[Lachey laughs]

I should be the first to say,

welcome to this experience.

-Who's ready to find the perfect match?

-[all] Yeah!

Ready!

Well, we've invited the ten of you,

ten of the most extraordinary,

desirable singles in the world,

to match up yourselves, and each other,

and attempt to find your perfect match.

I'm ready!

[Lachey] Whether proposing

to somebody you've never seen…

Shayne, I'm looking at you.

[laughter]

-You know what I'm talking about.

-Trust me, I know.

…or asking a robot for advice.

Francesca, I think you know

something about that.

Or entering into a trial marriage

with not one but two different women,

-my man Zay.

-[laughs]

You guys have all made

incredibly bold choices

in the name of love,

but, in the end,

you didn't find your perfect match.

-It worked out terribly for me.

-[all laugh]

-You're here to find love.

-All right!

-I want you guys to mix, mingle, flirt.

-[Shayne] Yes!

By the end of the night,

you've gotta match up,

and you will spend the night together,

starting your new relationship.

And in the morning, we'll have some fun

putting you

and your partner's compatibility

to the test,

and seeing how you stack up

against some of the other couples

with our first compatibility challenge.

The most compatible couples will have

the power to match you with new singles

they'll invite to come here

specifically for you.

Oh my God.

-Oh, I like that!

-[Francesca] Oh, okay.

[Lachey] And one more thing,

anyone left without a partner

is gonna have to leave here alone.

Wow!

When it's all over, you all will decide

which one couple is the perfect match.

Woo!

[Lachey] Good luck. Here's to love.

And more importantly,

here's to finding your perfect match.

[cheering]

-[Dom] To love!

-Go get 'em!

Cheers to us!

My head is spinning.

You're not sure if it's

from the chardonnay or Nick Lachey.

-Yeah, cheers to that! Good energy!

-[Zay] Is it bad that I forgot your name?

No, I forgot your name. [laughs]

There are ten people in the house.

Everyone needs to find a match,

so that would leave five couples.

The most compatible couples,

they get some power.

They get to select two new people

to come into the villa

and go on a date with two people

who already have a match.

If that doesn't call for chaos,

I don't know what will.

[Nick] How do you say your name?

-Easy, think "carousel."

-Kariselle. You're a wild ride.

I am a wild ride.

You wanna find out? [laughs]

You know, it's all about

the perfect match.

So, of course, there's competition.

You're having a moment. I'll turn around.

-Let me know when you're finished.

-[giggles]

I think of myself as a Cupid,

and I hope I end up

with the love of my life.

But if you don't find a connection,

you're out of the house.

I don't want that to happen.

I'm here to find my perfect match.

If I'm out of the house,

I'm not gonna find her.

Oh my God! Your nails.

These are f*cking sick.

-You ain't seen the chrome yet.

-We match.

-Oh my God.

-You got matching joints.

I'm waiting for you to take your shirt off

so I can take this off.

-Take it off. What are you waiting for?

-[Dom] Whoa.

[Dom] The first person

to catch my eye is Francesca.

She just kind of stole the room.

Just kinda…

everyone else kinda disappeared.

I kind of was intimidated.

I thought to myself,

"She's absolutely gorgeous,

but, buddy,

you don't stand a chance." [chuckles]

She got the hand tats.

-Yeah.

-Look at that right there.

Look at the Canadian people

stylin' and profilin'.

I feel like I have

a pretty good read on people.

So I feel like

I'm gonna be able to tell really early on

who is gonna be a perfect match or not.

So I'm gonna be a matchmaker as well.

Finding my own match and being

a matchmaker for everybody else.

-Look at those bunch of guys.

-[Francesca] They're cute.

[Ines] They all have

a bit of f*ck in them.

That's what I got. That vibe.

-We have a bit of f*ck vibe.

-You're right! We do!

And so, at the end of the day,

let's embrace our f*ck self.

And, yeah, talk through with them.

Do I look okay? How's my lipstick?

My boobs out? Are my n*pples hard?

Hi!

The people that I date

are usually obsessed with me,

and that's what I like

the most about them.

As long as someone's obsessed with me,

that's all I need, really.

I'm a bad girl… ♪

-Oh sh*t!

-[screaming]

-[man] What up, you naughty little possum?

-[woman] Oh my God!

Yes!

[man] I'm gonna go straight

in the deep end and let the boys know

that I'm all for Francesca.

My inner urges are

just making me entertain it.

At this point,

we're not gonna have any money left.

I was a little bit selfish

on span style="style2"Too Hot to Handle,

so maybe that's why I'm single.

Y'all throwing the F-word around?

-[Shayne] F-word?

-[Nick] Yeah.

-f*ck?

-Francesca.

Oh, look at you.

Is she gonna pick you or pick… pick who?

Oh, you think she's gonna pick you?

[Dom] Mm!

We got some friendly competition

going on over here?

Night number one?

Bro, I will f*cking m*rder your dreams.

I will stomp you right in the ground, bro!

The perfect match is going to be

me and Francesca. It's obvious.

Our eyes perfectly match, so…

I think it's a sign.

Yours are, like, very, like, hazel-y…

-Mahogany. Chestnut.

-Ooh. Like a nice French wood.

Hey, you're from Canada.

I have French wood eyes. So…

Be honest, how underdressed am I?

[Francesca] You're good.

You are very-- You know what you're doing.

Like, you're gonna see me.

Just know, this is my best clothes.

I don't have anything else,

so just cut me some slack.

Okay.

[Nick] If we're honest, I love attention.

I had, like, 80% of the Internet

calling me "Daddy Nick."

I'm going for Daddy Nick.

[laughing]

It's about damn time, Daddy Nick!

Daddy Nick times Matt equals love.

[laughter]

What you got going on

tattoo-wise right there?

Um, this says "lover."

It's a little faded.

So, basically just-- You'll just

write "Nick" over that at some point.

[Francesca] Okay, yeah.

I can think about it, yeah.

Big Nick energy is here making waves.

Daddy Nick is home, baby! [laughs]

Thank you so much.

There might be

a little bit of… insect in there.

That is fine. Talk to me.

[Francesca] Because of your ex,

it's not a red flag

that I have dated women?

[Zay] No. It's honestly attractive.

You know, we're here

to find our perfect match.

And Francesca, she's tall and

she's really gorgeous and… [chuckles]

[Shayne] Francesca, you want a drink?

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

Sweet. Thank you.

-Cheers.

-Cheers.

-I've seen most of your food on Instagram.

-My food? You follow me?

-"You follow me? I'm so humble!"

-I didn't know you follow me!

Of course!

I didn't have a blue check.

You didn't follow me. That's probably why.

I didn't notice.

-You wanna sit down for a second?

-Yeah, let's sit.

I was like, "f*ck, span style="style2"Love is Blind,

Season 2," and I saw you and I was like…

-You were like, "This guy's crazy."

-"Maybe he's a d*uche."

I could tell that wasn't gonna work out.

-You think so?

-Yeah.

-Why's that?

-I don't think she's your type.

-What's my type?

-I don't know yet.

My last serious relationship

Love Is Blind.

I honestly thought we were

gonna marry each other.

Now is the time

to decide if love is truly blind.

Shayne James Jansen,

do you take Natalie Mina Lee

to be your wife?

I do.

A thousand times over.

You're my best friend.

[priest] Natalie Mina Lee,

do you take Shayne James Jansen

to be your husband?

I don't.

The feeling I had with Natalie,

for those few months we were together,

were the best times of my life,

and I wanna find that again.

[upbeat music playing]

-I wanna be your friend.

-I think that's weird, but…

[Joey] I met Francesca.

We ended up hooking up a few times

and never heard anything back.

I don't know if she has a problem with me

or maybe she just doesn't like me.

I genuinely mean what I meant to you

the last time we were together,

and I'd really like to start fresh.

Yeah. I'm down to start fresh.

I don't want bad blood at all.

So, all good.

Okay.

[Joey] I have a history with Francesca.

It's the same way

I have a history with Kariselle,

but my relationship with Kariselle

is a little bit different.

When span style="style2"The Circle first came out,

she DM'd me on Instagram,

and I wasted no time at all. I was like,

"Are you single? What's your number?"

Because I saw her profile and I was like,

"You are gorgeous, my dear Lord."

She ended up coming to LA.

We had a wild night together.

Ended up staying a weekend,

but honestly, I've been unlucky in love

just because I haven't been ready.

What was the first interaction

we ever had?

-[laughs]

-Ever?

When I slid into your DMs.

I was so mad at you.

Then I was like, "Why are my clothes off?"

That was the best sex I think we ever had.

It was really good sex.

We were so angry at each other.

I'm Kariselle.

I'm 26 years old from New Jersey,

Sexy Beasts.

I'm so single, I'm dressed as a panda bear

to try to find a connection with somebody.

It's working.

-When do you want kids?

-Twenty-eight?

-Twenty-eight?

-Yeah.

I'm trying to get knocked up,

like, tomorrow.

What if I was like,

"I want you to [bleep] me in this"?

So, I met Joey in LA, and, uh…

Yeah, it was wild. [laughs]

He looked me straight in my face,

told me he's in love with me,

literally said

he was gonna marry me one day,

and I fell for it.

He was not ready

for the level of commitment

that I am clearly very ready for,

and rather than owning that,

he was just very dismissive,

and I didn't talk to him for a few months.

And then Joey pops up again,

and he's ready.

He's ready to finally give me

everything I deserve.

And then we try and then,

again, the commitment thing.

It's too much for him,

and he falls off again.

First time, sure,

whatever, you were naive.

Second time, you're a clown.

When I try to get rid of you,

you always come back to me.

Like, accept this. We know this.

Yeah, then I'm f*cking in your bed again,

and then I'm like, "f*ck!"

And I'm, like, into it and I'm thinking

it's gonna happen this time,

then it doesn't.

So I think we should talk

about what happens tonight.

Will you be my match?

So, what do you think?

I don't know. What do you think?

I adore you. You know this.

Yeah.

I think, no matter what,

I'm definitely farting on you

tonight in bed.

-You're disgusting.

-That's happening.

-We know it's gonna happen.

-Oh my God, like, perfect match.

Like, romance.

I mean, that is when it's real.

[giggling]

Part of me wants to be like,

"You're a clown. Don't fall for it again."

Then a really big part of me is like,

"Oh my God, it's fate."

'Cause I was like, "What are the odds?"

I mean, it is fate.

["Live Your Beautiful Life"

I'm gonna fall back right where I started.

I like this.

[giggling]

It feels really good

to be the first couple to match up

because I was having anxiety that

I might not find anyone I liked that much,

and now I'm pairing up

with somebody who I know I like.

It was just never the right time,

and it feels exciting. It feels thrilling.

And I'm just hoping

it doesn't bite me in the a*s.

-Oh my God!

-How am I funny? I'm actually very funny.

-Talking about "hurry up."

-I'm a comedian.

-Like I'm supposed to sweep you off your…

Yeah, sweep me off my feet! Come on!

Anyhoo…

You look very beautiful.

-Thank you. Really.

-Very beautiful, the dress is fantastic.

It's a jumpsuit.

[Shayne]

Ines, honestly, after span style="style2"Love is Blind,

we talked a little bit

through DMs on Instagram.

Um, she just offered advice.

She's so much more sophisticated

than anyone I've ever met,

especially at her age.

There's just so much to her behind

just her physical beautiful appearance.

That is something

that is extremely intriguing.

We got deeper into our conversations.

-Yeah. In a genuine way!

-Yes, in a genuine way.

And stop f*cking rubbing your pants.

It's odd.

I'm sorry!

[laughing]

-[Ines] And it's an itch.

-Okay.

Honestly, you are not the person

I go for at all, at all, at all…

That's what everyone says, dude.

And… and--

It's so annoying to hear.

I hear it all the time.

One of the reasons why

people are saying that

is because you have a unique personality,

and that is great.

What I'm talking about is that

my pattern is to go to very introverted…

-Yes. I respect that.

-…very introverted people.

And you came with your panther shirt,

and somehow, I feel like

there's some energy that is intriguing.

I was gonna say--

Don't take an American accent.

Take a French accent when you talk.

We don't speak the same language.

-English. So…

-That's perfect though, actually.

The less I speak

is probably perfect for us.

I'm kidding.

I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

I will learn to do whatever that girl

wants me to do to make her happy.

If Ines wanted me to learn French,

I would drop everything

and learn it in three weeks straight.

Who are you interested in, in the house?

Who do you think?

You.

Do you wanna match?

Okay.

-It's safe to say Joey's off-- Yeah.

-That sh*t's off limits.

[Savannah] I wouldn't mind

if I got matched with you, actually.

Nick is someone from span style="style2"The Circle.

We are friendly. I wouldn't say

we know each other very well.

I'm not quite sure

if I'm attracted to him physically.

I'm trying to figure out

strategically the best course of action.

Do I find someone

right off the bat that I match with

and stick with them until the very end?

Or is the best strategy

to get to know everyone in the house?

-Are you trying to talk to Dom?

-[Savannah] I mean, I think I should.

If you're trying to talk to Dom,

I would talk to Francesca.

-Okay. We'll play tag teams.

-Yeah.

[Savannah] And when they're done…

Okay, we're doing a bro hug.

-Chest bump!

-Just like that?

Oh, wait, what? Give me that chest--

-Okay, ready? One, two, three.

-Chest bump!

-Watch the mic.

-Go, team!

The guys over there were like,

"Are we gonna talk about the 'F' word?"

I was like, "What's the 'F' word?"

"Francesca."

And I was like "Oh, damn!"

You're that girl

who everybody's pulling. [laughs]

I feel like I've heard that

a few times tonight.

I just kinda had my eyes on you

a little bit, and I was like,

"Nah, she ain't feeling me," like…

"She's talking to homeboy over there."

-"She ain't feeling me."

-I was talking to everyone though.

[Nick] I've already had

some one-on-one time with her.

So I feel like I can't

just, like, interrupt it.

Growing up, I was a really nerdy kid.

I didn't really fill out

into my body until later on.

I would love to see photos.

I'm trying to make you smile

as much as you're trying to make me smile.

-Yeah.

-I'm always gonna be that guy where--

-I'm not a good cook but--

-You're not a good cook?

I'm not a good cook, but if I like you,

it's, like, I'll be in there hacking away

at some oranges, some bananas.

Oranges? What are you cooking?

No idea.

[both laughing]

Don't you think if they've been talking

this long, he would've been like,

-"You wanna, like, head upstairs?"

-No!

If that hasn't happened,

I feel like it's fair game.

Are we plotting right now?

Of course Nick and I are strategizing.

Come on. It's what we do.

It's in our blood. We can't help it.

[Nick] Should we, like,

just go see what's happening up there?

[Savannah] I don't wanna break them up.

Breaking them up

when they are together

is only gonna make them stronger.

So let them end naturally.

[Nick] Are they going to?

If I were him,

I would never end that conversation.

I'd literally only end it

by going to the bedroom.

-[laughs]

-Oh my God!

Could be.

[Nick] If you had Francesca one-on-one,

you're not leaving that.

-[Savannah] You think so?

-[Nick] Yeah!

[Savannah] I don't know.

My only kind of situation was with Joey,

but I just don't have

the time for that right now.

-Yeah.

-Are you competitive?

[Dom] I am.

So if they were to give us

a challenge tomorrow,

how do you feel about that?

-We gonna win it.

-Okay, should we go pick a room?

Okay.

We gotta boogie.

Oh, they're getting up.

Go get her. Go! Steal some time.

-Over here.

-Thanks. You're so sweet.

-Oh, they're going.

-[Savannah] They are!

[groans]

[Nick] Hey, Francesca, you got a second?

-Yeah, me?

-Just, like, five minutes?

-Oh yeah. Of course.

-Sick.

[Nick] You're good.

-Uh, so, head back down this way?

-Okay.

-So what are you thinking?

-I don't know.

I don't either.

-The numbers are dwindling.

-Yeah! They're dwindling!

[Savannah] Oh my God. Yeah.

-How are you doing?

-I'm good. You?

I just wanted to finish the conversation

'cause we talked a little bit earlier.

But how are you feeling?

I feel good. Yeah, I feel good.

-Yeah?

-Mm-hmm.

All right, what are you…

If we're being honest,

you're definitely, like,

who I'm most into right now.

Mm-hmm.

So I'd love to get to know you better,

spend more time with you.

-Yeah, I think you missed your shot.

-Yeah?

-Have a good night. Good luck.

-See you tomorrow. No, you're good.

[Nick] Ah, f*ck.

-[Francesca] I told him to kick rocks.

-Oh sh*t.

[Francesca and Dom chuckling]

I got absolutely rejected on the stairs.

No big deal.

I'll just tiptoe my way back to Savannah.

What happened? What happened?

-No? They're going to bed?

-No.

[Zay] You okay?

[Savannah] That's okay. That's okay.

Maybe she wasn't ready

for the spice, for the flava.

-[Nick] Hey, plenty of time.

-[Savannah laughs]

-[Nick] Hey, Sav.

-Mm-hmm?

Will you match with me

and head up to one of the suites?

As people start matching up

and going upstairs, you know,

you start to look around.

You're like, "Who's left in this b*tch?"

-I'll sleep next to you, Nick.

-Let's do it.

Sleeping next to you, I need extra vodka.

I'm just kidding. [laughs]

Wow!

-Good night!

-Wow!

[Zay] How in the world do you go from,

"Oh, let me flirt with Francesca."

"Hey, bestie,

I couldn't get with anybody else."

"Savannah, let's go

back upstairs together."

Was I surprised? Not really. It's Nick.

[chuckling] That's f*cked up.

I'm not kidding.

[Savannah]

I'm glad I just wasn't a consolation.

[Nick] No. Absolutely not.

[Savannah] Just remember,

anything can change in a day. Okay?

I mean, everyone's

keeping their options open.

Exactly, exactly.

Come here. Let's see.

Are they the last ones?

-I have nothing to say.

-[Anne-Sophie] Mm-hmm?

-[Zay] At all.

-The last ones standing.

You ready to go upstairs, then?

I'm ready to go to sleep.

I thought I was gonna be

first-round draft pick.

I guess we just ended up together.

And that's fine.

[Anne-Sophie] Mm, mm, mm.

I'm open to giving everyone a chance,

Zay included.

But no one wants to be

matched up by default.

[Zay] You ready to go to bed though?

Yeah.

[Joey] So, what do you think really

is gonna happen tomorrow?

I think we're gonna do the challenge.

Who do you think's gonna win?

If it's a "knowing somebody" quiz,

we have an advantage.

[upbeat music playing]

What are you thinking?

Do you believe in the right person,

like, at the wrong time?

[Joey] Yes.

What if the right person

makes any time the right time?

[music stops]

In the evening, I have fantasies,

and it's mostly about coffee.

-What are you talking about?

-[laughs]

[Shayne grunts]

-You want me to sleep here?

-[Ines] Yeah. I was…

Okay, I'll sleep here if you want me to.

[Shayne yawns]

[grunts]

-Bye, sweetie. Bye, sweetie.

-It's…

It suits you, like--

Nice meeting you.

-It suits you like a glove.

-[laughs]

Like, this looks like a painting.

[Ines] Ooh la la!

-[Zay chuckles]

-What?

What are you looking at? [chuckles]

Not you. [chuckles]

-Gotta sleep next to--

-I'm about to put a barricade.

See? That's what I need.

That's what I need. A whole barrier,

throughout the whole bed.

-Just like that.

-Perfect.

This is how we're sleeping

'cause I need that.

-[Zay] 'Cause we ain't doing that.

-Yeah.

-[Dom] I wanna learn more about Francesca.

-Yeah. My parents are Italian.

And they're still together,

and I love them.

Is that like-- Your vision of love

is, like, your parents?

I think so. Yeah.

I grew up in a single parent home.

I never really had that couple to be like,

"This is what a relationship is."

That's why every relationship I'm in,

I try so hard to make it work.

My last relationship

was, like, a year and a half ago,

and I haven't gone on a single date since.

-Not one date?

-Not one date.

I usually jump into things right away,

and I'll get literally nothing back.

If I'm into you and I like you, that's it.

I'm, like, 100% or nothing at all.

-Yeah.

-Know what I'm saying?

-We have to win tomorrow.

-We have to.

Like…

-I wanna make sure of it.

-Yeah.

We're in bed together, and we're chatting,

and it already feels like we're a team,

like this is my partner.

She's my "ride or die" right now.

You're stunning.

Stop!

No, for real, like…

Yeah. Gorgeous.

Thank you, likewise.

-Stop. Stop. Stop it. Stop it.

-[chuckling]

You got the bed, like…

That looks mad comfy over there.

I could stay over there. It's fully, like…

I'm not trying to make you

feel uncomfortable.

-Yeah.

-Whichever. I want you to feel like…

You know what I mean?

-I don't want you to feel uncomfortable.

-Yeah.

On span style="style2"Too Hot to Handle,

I matched up with someone night one.

I think we should have sex.

He just wanted sex.

I regretted it,

and I don't wanna do that again,

but I'm really surprised

Dom hasn't made a move yet.

It's not usually what happens to me.

Maybe that's a good thing.

[chuckles]

Okay. We should do a speed round

of having to get to know each other

so we can win tomorrow's challenge.

I think game-wise,

we're smarter for being in this position

because we're not putting

all of our eggs in one basket too soon.

Yeah.

More people are coming in the coming days.

I think I'm a little too smart

for these guys.

Regardless if it's with Nick or not,

I'm here to win.

I got me, myself, and I,

and that's all I need.

Perfect match!

Perfect match! Perfect match!

We're the best match here! [laughs]

[Lachey] Good morning.

How was everyone's

first night in the house?

-[Lachey] Yeah?

-Dope!

[man] No complaints.

Does anybody feel like

they're a good match already?

-I do!

-100%!

-Definitely something.

-You sold me, Nick.

[chuckles]

Yeah! [giggles]

We didn't have sex last night.

But Dom's super hot.

Have you seen him?

Can I get a slow clap?

Today we're gonna be testing

how well you know each other

in our first compatibility challenge.

Fact or Cap?

-Explain to the French girl.

-Ines is still learning what "cap" means.

I just learned myself.

I just learned that a "wee" was a "pee"

and not a "wank." Whatever.

[all laughing]

[Lachey] The game is simple.

I'm gonna ask a series

of true or false questions.

If you think

your partner's answer is true,

you stand under the "Fact" bucket.

If you think

your partner's answer is false,

you stand under the "Cap" bucket.

After everybody's answers are locked in,

I'm gonna ask you

to pull the rope on your bucket.

If your answer was right,

you're gonna stay dry.

If your answer was wrong,

you're about to get really, really wet.

Oh sh*t.

[Lachey] The couple who gets

the most answers correct

will be today's most compatible couple.

They will win a private date

in a more intimate environment.

Also, as the winning couple,

you get to visit the boardroom,

where you get to match two members

of a less compatible partnership

with two new singles.

-Oh.

-[Savannah] Mm.

If you win, not only do you get

a day to get out of the house

and just bond one-on-one,

but, like, you also get all the power

to bring in the new people,

to set other people up

who maybe aren't feeling it.

That's a span style="style2"lot of power.

[Savannah] In this challenge,

we may be at a disadvantage

just because it seems like there is

a romantic and physical connection

that every other couple might have,

but he is such a smart guy.

So, strategizing with him is so easy.

We stayed up talking a little bit,

just trying to get to know each other

and win the challenge, honestly.

-All you have to do is get it right.

-She's smart. That's why I like her.

-She's a smart one.

-[Savannah] Right?

First question. Fact or Cap?

Your partner said the quickest way

to turning them on

is by kissing their neck.

All right.

Go ahead and pull those ropes for me.

[laughter]

[Zay] You gotta be kidding.

-The only one? Damn.

-It's okay.

-[Lachey] What's going on?

-I like my mind to be stimulated.

-How did you know, Nick?

-I love getting kissed on the neck.

So I was like,

"If I like it, I bet Savannah likes it."

So you didn't know.

You went with an educated guess.

-Facts.

-Obviously, it's facts.

We're learning quick.

The more you know. Good job, guys!

[cheering]

Gentlemen, your partner has called

somebody the wrong name during sex.

Everybody's choosing "Cap."

I know the type of girl she is.

Think like a nun. Gotcha.

[laughter]

[Lachey] Pull those ropes.

-[laughter]

-Oh my God, I'm so embarrassed! [giggles]

I have so many questions.

I would have bet my life

you would have ne--

For someone who yells at me

for not being consistent about anything?

You've called someone the wrong name?

In college, I was more of an animal.

I was figuring out what I wanted.

The fact that

she called someone the wrong name--

It's really bad. [laughs]

It's really embarrassing,

something I was gonna take to my grave,

but now it's out there.

So thanks for that.

-Yeah. Well--

-This one hurts, man.

It's not that big of a deal.

You're being so dramatic.

He's annoying.

[Lachey] Question number three.

Your partner said that they have had

a "sexident" in the past.

Pull those ropes.

[Shayne] f*ck!

[laughter]

[laughing]

I'm completely dry.

No water's getting dumped on me,

and I'm feeling good.

Francesca and Dom,

what exactly was this "sexident"?

I was going down on someone,

and she had a tampon in,

so I, like, pulled it out with my teeth.

With your teeth?

-Yeah, I was already down there.

-That's cute.

[laughter]

Round three in the books.

Savannah, Nick, Francesca and Dom,

3-0 record sitting right in front of me.

Good job, guys.

All right, it's time for the ladies.

First question,

your partner said that

they've had sex in a public place before.

Pull those ropes.

-Yeah!

-[Ines] I'm so confident about that one.

You were taking your time!

I was like, "That was easy!"

I knew.

Dom, where'd it happen?

Ferris wheel.

-You freak. That's great.

-Yep.

Yeah.

All right, ladies. Question number two.

Your partner said

they are still hung up on an ex.

Fact or cap?

Pull that rope.

[gasps] Thank God, thank God, thank God!

[Joey] Ooh.

[laughter]

-Who?

-[man] Oh no.

-She's gonna beat your a*s.

-[Anne-Sophie] Oh sh*t!

I have one rule,

and it's just I don't do the ex thing.

That's my one rule.

I was with somebody

for a very, very, very long time.

I think a relationship like that,

you don't just get over it.

So then why are you here?

[Joey] I mean, I'm here

because I wanna find someone.

I feel like when I commit, I commit 100%.

That's why I've been single four years.

-Four years ago?

-Yeah.

She is pissed,

and I would be pissed as well.

I'm not here to help you

get over your own sh*t.

You know what I mean?

No, not my thing.

That's a huge dealbreaker.

If I wasn't over my ex after four years,

I would literally just take the L and lie.

I'm always the girl who believes the guy

that was clearly full of red flags.

And so, like, for Joey

to show those red flags

and put me in a position

where I'm very embarrassed and humiliated,

it's disappointing.

If a guy's gonna f*ck with me

and make me feel like this,

I want it to be done

by someone I'm very, very attracted to.

I better be getting railed

if I'm gonna feel like this.

-[Lachey] Ines?

-I have the complete opposite opinion.

We all have a history. We all have exes.

That's what made us who we are now,

with our experience and our failures.

I was just engaged eight months ago.

We went down the altar.

I said yes. She said no.

Of course I still think about it.

The fact that he recognizes it,

it shows that he's emotionally

more mature than I thought he would.

I am positively surprised.

[Lachey] All right, ladies. Last question.

I thought my biggest competition

was gonna be Joey and Kariselle,

but it ends up being Nick and Savannah.

The fact that Savannah's not wet right now

is stressing me out.

It's between them and us,

and they're gonna lose.

I'm gonna win. That's all.

I mean, I think it's safe to say

that Nick and I

are the most strategic one of the couples,

and Nick and I

are gonna win the challenge.

Your partner said

they have made a sex video before.

All right, ladies, let's pull them.

[screams]

[laughs]

This is bullshit.

This is span style="style2"bullshit!

[Savannah, chanting] Nick! Nick! Nick!

f*ck.

But I look sexy when I'm wet, so whatever.

All right, guys.

Congratulations to Nick and Savannah.

You are today's most compatible couple.

I don't know how Nick and Savannah can be

the most compatible couple of the night.

I don't even think Savannah likes him.

I'll see you tomorrow in the boardroom,

where you'll choose two people

from two of

the less-compatible couples today

and send them on a date

with two singles of your choosing.

[Dom] I'm a little worried

that Nick and Savannah have this power.

I know Nick is into Francesca,

and they get to select two guys

or two girls that can come to the house

and just… shake everything up,

like chaotic Cupid.

Savannah, Nick,

we gotta get you guys to your date.

Yes!

The rest of you head on back to the house,

and I'll see you there later.

I definitely wasn't Nick's first choice

with who he wanted to sleep next to, so--

Whoa, I don't know about that.

-Look--

-I think we know! [laughs]

We're both strategic thinkers.

Who's to say that Nick would

still be standing here

if he had a different partner?

Are you over your exes?

-You definitely are. We got that right.

-Absolutely. Sensitive topic!

-Big literature girl.

-[both laughing]

Yeah, it was kinda crazy. So--

Most compatible.

Yeah, according to the challenge.

I was a little surprised that we won.

You definitely check all my boxes,

but I would also be lying

if I said there weren't other people here

that also check those boxes.

Even though originally you thought

you wanted to go to bed with Francesca,

even though you came back

and you asked me,

I was all for it

'cause I know we both wanna win,

and I think we can.

[laughs]

You think all the other couples

are pretty strong?

I think anything can happen.

I think yesterday, we all thought

that Joey and Kariselle were strong.

After the debacle earlier today with them,

I feel like they're kind of a couple

that I'm trying to see what I can do…

[Nick] So, I guess

we could try to bring in--

Bring in someone we think would be good

for Kariselle is on my top of to-do list.

Then maybe

mix up the couples a little bit.

And who knows?

Joey might be left in the dust tomorrow.

Kariselle and Joey,

I know that they have a past,

and they have some true feelings

there for one another.

It's nice,

but they are a little bit of a mess.

And we want to break them up

before they're strong again.

I feel like that's why we are

trying to drive a wedge between them.

At the end of the day,

we are trying to find a match,

but we're also playing a game.

The last time I was in this position,

where I had power

really early on in a show,

it didn't go very well.

They said they would have my back!

The player we have decided to block is…

They lied!

-Yeah.

-So…

I mean, it can potentially

paint a target on your back.

-A lot of power.

-Yeah!

[Savannah] Victory tastes nice.

So Dom's theory is that

Nick is going to bring in a girl for him

so he's distracted, so he can make a move.

Savannah and Nick, there's nothing there.

[Kariselle laughs]

Are you, like, really feeling it?

I'm just being very careful, like…

I slept with my ex on the show,

and he was just trying to f*ck me.

Dom, he has not made a move once.

If I paired with any other guy,

they would've made a move already.

-Yeah.

-I'm so pissed we didn't win.

Not only because I wanted time with Dom,

but I wanted to be able

to pick someone for you.

I'm very anti-dating-Joey right now.

Even though Joey and I have history,

I think Kariselle

will appreciate my opinion

because I do know him

a little bit more than everyone else.

And I hope she will maybe take my advice.

When he was like,

"You don't know someone's name?"

-He was acting like you were promiscuous.

-Like a wh*re.

Yeah, exactly.

-That was belittling. I feel like--

-It was belittling.

I don't know how

you cannot be over your ex.

It's like this weird-a*s math equation

where we're fighting about this ex,

and then Francesca,

who's technically his ex,

is comforting me about this other ex.

But she's not span style="style2"that ex.

It's like, "But Joey's not comforting me."

And it all goes full f*cking triangle,

and it's like, "What is going on here?"

He's used to groupies.

What groupies?

Oh my God, no, literally,

there are girls who think he's famous.

-Oh my God.

-Isn't that sad? The world we live in.

No. And it's cringeworthy.

Joey loves Joey and girls who love Joey.

-I'm so glad I'm not like that.

-Dude, it's really embarrassing.

So, what if Nick

and Savannah pick your ideal type,

someone you've wanted to meet,

and they put you on a blind date tomorrow?

Would you let Joey go home?

Or would you pick Joey?

-[Savannah] Let's try to match Kariselle?

-Yeah.

Okay.

Chase.

I feel like they could be,

like, personality-wise, super compatible

because she likes big, loud personalities.

I think Chase

definitely draws a lot of attention, so…

-Definitely.

-I could see it.

And he will most definitely

give Joey a run for his money.

All right, so decided.

We're gonna lock in this match.

Yeah. Do it.

[Nick] Kariselle and Chase.

[Savannah] If it doesn't work out,

it's also good to think about

who they could potentially be with later.

I would be so down to match with Chase

but not right now.

I don't wanna insult Nick.

If Kariselle and Chase

don't match on a romantic level,

at least I have another option for me.

to create all these strong couples.

'Cause we don't have

But I do think there might be a bit of awe

when we say

that we're setting Kariselle up on a date.

Okay, so all of your photos

come up with four potentials at the top.

-We were picking guys.

-And they're all guys.

Oh!

["Pressure" by KADE playing]

We discussed and deliberated

and felt like sending…

Anne-Sophie on a blind date.

Yeah, you f*cked me up with that one.

[Dom] Zay, come on.

After the challenge, you were soaked.

[laughs]

You know?

You almost got every question wrong.

In a way, I did expect to be picked

because I do think that myself and Zay,

we have, I don't wanna call it

the weakest connection,

but the weakest connection.

It wasn't an easy decision.

And then we also wanted to send…

Kariselle on a blind date.

[Ines] Ooh!

I did not see that coming.

sh*t is being tested very, very fast.

How are you feeling?

-I'm fine.

-Are you?

The scary thing is

if Kariselle's gonna go on a date,

and she likes this guy

a lot more than she likes me,

I don't know if I'm gonna be here tonight.

[Kariselle]

If Nick and Savannah were like,

"Let's put Kariselle on a date,"

it must be someone good, someone juicy.

It must taste really nice.

There's just something

about a good bad boy, isn't there?

I wouldn't call myself a villain.

I'm more of a vigilante.

I'm like the hero that nobody wants

but everyone deserves.

-Oh my God!

-[Kariselle laughs]

-[Kariselle] Hello!

-Whoa!

[Chase laughs]

I'm Chase.

I know you!

You are definitely my type. Jeez!

-Do you know my name?

-I don't, not yet.

I'm about to find out though.

I'm not surprised

Nick and Savannah chose Chase for me

because he's the one guy

I physically am very attracted to,

and I'd love to get to know.

He's really tall.

I'm like, "Oh my God."

We'd have so much fun in the bedroom.

He'd throw me around.

So exciting. [giggles]

My name is Kariselle.

-Kariselle?

-Yeah.

Kariselle, you're gorgeous.

I like your teeth.

-Thank you!

-[both laugh]

Grew 'em myself.

[both laughing]

Same, same, same.

Um, so, Kariselle, I arranged this bar.

-Uh…

-Are you a bartender?

I'm actually not.

I worked at Starbucks once.

-Same thing!

-Same thing, right?

-Where are you from?

-Jersey. You?

I'm from Seattle,

but I live in LA now, so--

You live in LA?

Why does everyone go to LA?

I had dreams and aspirations

of being the best TikToker.

-I'm just kidding. I'm totally kidding!

-I was about to leave! [laughs]

-A tequila person? I feel like you are.

-I am.

I just, like-- Yeah.

-I'm a bartender.

-Do I strike you as a tequila person?

-Yes. Absolutely.

-What is a tequila person?

My type. [laughs]

Her energy, her smile, her happiness…

She's like a little short bundle

of beauty, energy, all in one package.

She's got a really nice butt.

I ain't gonna lie to anybody.

I'm assuming that

this is one and a half shots?

Ounces.

It says "OZ." That's what an ounce is.

-[laughs]

-Awkward!

Do you remember what my name is?

-Yeah, Constantine.

-No.

[both laughing]

Not even close.

Wha…?

-Starts with a C though.

-Nope.

-K?

-Yup.

Kariselle! I'm an idiot. I knew that.

Kariselle.

It's cute when someone's really hot

and doesn't know a lot.

That's charming. You know? So-- [laughs]

-Cheers.

-Cheers.

So everyone in there is in our circle.

Is there people in there

that I'm gonna know?

I don't know.

There was ten of us,

and we all kinda had to couple up.

And you're here and another guy is here

going on dates with people they didn't

think found someone compatible for them.

So you're basically fighting

for a spot in the house.

But here's the thing,

it doesn't have to just be with me.

Like, you and a girl

have to agree to couple up,

and if you're coupled up with someone,

you're locked in.

And the last two guys standing leave.

Why did you come here?

What made you wanna come here?

When you go on these shows, like span style="style2"Too Hot,

you grow to, like, an overnight celebrity.

Whatever you wanna call it,

B list, A list, whatever.

You're very well-known.

So I feel like the problem I was having

was finding

genuine people to connect with.

Mm-hmm.

You might remember me

as the guy with the roach on his forehead,

AKA "Roach Boy."

That process really brought a lot of

emotions in me I didn't even know I had.

Yeah, same here!

-And I feel like I haven't felt that--

-[laughter]

[Chase] Oh my God!

I went to school

to study relationship therapy.

So I was super into

how humans comprehend love and stuff.

I always wondered

why it never happened for me.

-You ever wanna get married, have kids?

-Yeah, I want, like, five.

Me too. I want a lot of kids!

Oh my God, that's perfect!

When do we start? [laughs]

-Wow!

-You looking at my lips? Is that it?

[laughs]

Um…

So, when was your last ex?

So I've had one girlfriend my whole life.

Your whole life? How long ago?

Uh, we broke up

two and a half years ago now.

Are you over her?

-Yeah. I mean, yes.

-That's awesome.

That's already a step up

from the guy I'm with now.

[laughs]

-That's awesome! I love that!

-Jeez! Who is he?

Um…

-It's Joey Sasso.

-Joey Sasso?

-Yeah. Do you know him?

-I know him.

We had, like, small history in the past.

So I know him.

I think he's kinda full of sh*t.

All the girls in the house are like,

"What are you doing?" You know?

From what I know about you so far,

I think you're amazing.

He's not over his ex?

You know, like, Joey's a nice kid,

but going into the house and telling Joey,

like, "I think me and Kariselle

are really good together…"

-There's worse things in the world.

-Definitely.

I'll tell you 1,000%,

I am not nervous, scared,

any type of thing about anybody.

I'm here to find somebody for me.

What about you? What's your type?

You.

[laughs]

Do you think that we are compatible?

I do think we're compatible.

What's your sign?

-I'm a Gemini. What about you?

-Oh, sh*t! I'm a Sagittarius.

-Oh.

-We're actually a perfect match.

[both laughing]

["Yes Sir" by Princess Akaina playing]

I am completely open-minded

going into this date.

I'm just super excited

to see who this mystery person is.

What's up, guys? My name is Calvin.

The Circle, Season 3.

I'm looking for a perfect match, you know.

I low-key, like,

want someone to have my seeds,

like, I don't wanna just die.

I had this scarf. I was looking like

James St. Patrick, like, I had the scarf.

What happened?

It fell out in the sand somewhere,

so I couldn't wear it today. [laughs]

I couldn't wear it.

No, for real, man. What about you?

The last few years,

I've been buried in my work.

I know what you do.

I've already seen your show.

-I've seen your show!

-You saw my show?

Come on, I've seen your show, man.

What about you? Tell me about you.

I got into private chef-ing.

Tell me about the private chef.

-What is the--?

-Oh, oh, oh. Jamaican food, girl.

Jamaican food!

What's your specialty though?

Jerk chicken wings, baby girl.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-All is well in the name of love, right?

-As it should be.

Calvin definitely seems very interested,

and he seems ready to go.

But, come on,

when you've got a hot date like me,

the conversation's

always gonna go smoothly.

We comin' in hot ♪

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh ♪

Hopefully, Zay is feeling the pressure

because under pressure,

you can either crumble or make a diamond.

What's Zay gonna do?

Ultimately, I'll have to

make a decision tonight.

We comin' in hot ♪

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh ♪

We comin' in hot ♪

Everyone protect their genitals.

-[Ines] Let's do this.

-[Savannah] Champagne shower!

It's crazy. It's gonna be

seven guys and five girls.

And two guys are going home.

[Anne-Sophie] Welcome to the house.

[man] Pop that sh*t.

-[Dom] She's a pro. She's a pro.

-[cheering]

[Ines] Monsieur, mademoiselle.

Why thank you.

I don't know what she's saying,

but it sounds great.

If the new guys come in

and swoop your girl, you're done.

But I'm really not too worried

about singles coming in the house

because I feel like there's only

one sexy person in the house.

Come on, now.

[all] Ohhh!

[Anne-Sophie] Hey!

-[Nick] Okay. Oh my God.

-[Calvin] Hello.

So much to share.

[Calvin] Thanks. Thanks.

Yo, what the--?

Hey, welcome back to the party!

-[Francesca] They come in holding hands?

-[Savannah] They did.

They came in holding hands.

I think it's ballsy for Kariselle

to walk in hand-in-hand with Chase,

but… as she should!

Her walking in like that, 10 out of 10.

I would have done the exact same.

What's up, guys?

[all cheering]

There are seven men here

and only five women.

Anyone left without a partner

at the end of the evening

is gonna have to leave here alone.

Who went on a date today?

Calvin, you went with Anne-Sophie.

-Is that right?

-Yes.

I think the date went great.

Okay. Who else went on a date today?

Me and the lovely Kariselle.

All right. So we have the potential

to be a really good match.

-The perfect match.

-The perfect match.

-[Lachey] I like it!

-[indistinct chatter]

Tonight, anything can happen.

Even new love could blossom.

We don't know.

Choose wisely,

and here's to finding your perfect match.

[all cheering]

Watching Kariselle and Chase walking in

holding hands obviously isn't ideal,

but if I'm a betting man,

I'm staying in this f*cking house.

[Kariselle] Now you say hi to me.

-You miss me?

-Yeah, I did.

-Yeah?

-I missed you. Did you have fun?

I did.

You look beautiful.

I know. I do.

Is it gonna be

one of those type of nights?

If it's gonna be like that,

then I'll just walk away.

I'm not being like that.

-But I'm telling you I miss you.

-But, like, why?

-Yeah, I know it, like--

-I miss you.

But I just, like-- You know what I mean.

Just, like, claim me.

I've been claiming you all day.

[Kariselle] Part of me

is a little frustrated.

And this m*therf*cker is still confident

that he's going to bed with me tonight!

And I'm like,

"Could you, like, sweat a little bit?"

You know what I mean?

I don't know where

all this f*cking confidence comes from.

Kariselle and Joey…

Man, oh man, they are a mess right now.

And I feel like

I kind of had a hand in it,

but also, it was already

kind of messy before me, right?

Sorry to interrupt.

Can I steal you before the time is up?

Yeah.

-Okay.

-Sorry.

I see Joey and it's like…

There's nobody I'm worried about.

Fair warning

and public service announcement

to all the guys in this house.

Don't watch me. Watch your girl.

I was like, "This is so natural."

-We got on right away.

-Yeah.

I'm not coming playing scared.

I'm here to find my perfect match.

And there's nobody in this house

that I think is a more perfect match

than you right now.

["Zone" by Walgrove playing]

Are you afraid of stepping on toes?

Like with Joey?

-Thousand percent not.

-Yeah?

And I don't care

What you think you got ♪

It's not fair

What you think you thought ♪

That's how it goes ♪

[laughs]

[Chase] Who is gonna be the perfect match?

I'm starting to get a little bit excited

to see who's gonna win this thing.

Bad to the bone ♪

That's it.

I'm coming with everything I have.

You find what you were looking for?

I feel something somewhere, definitely.

-[Chase] She's…

-[laughing]

Are these rooms good?

Hell yeah. [giggles]
