01x09 - Love It or Leave It

Post by bunniefuu »

[Lachey] The person you're matched with
could be your perfect match,

or you may find
that someone else is a better fit.

Anyone without a partner
at the end of the evening

will have to leave here alone.

-This is gonna get messy.
-Let the games begin.

[upbeat music playing]

I wanna get married very soon.

You're on one knee.

[Ines] The whole experience is about love.

I'm too worried about winning.

And for the date... Francesca.

[Joey] sh*t just got real.

You know I've always
had a soft spot for you.

I was falling for Shayne,
and I've been stopped at a halt.

Chloe and me got history.
At the end, we kissed.

[Dom] You deserve your perfect match
more than anybody here.

Francesca, I'm just done with it.

[Joey] Wow.

-Francesca's exploring her options.
-[Joey] Explore yours.

-[Joey] That just happened.
-[Chloe] Right in front of Francesca.

-Did you make out with him?
-I am sorry...

Get me the f*ck out of here.

[sobbing]

I am not looking
for a relationship right now.

[Chloe] I sent Shayne home
to try and make this work.

[Georgia] So, who should we start?
All right, I'm gonna start.

♪ Duh-duh-duh ♪

Five?

Jive!

[Abbey] Jive?

So, you do a dance move.

Say you do the Sprinkler, okay?

Then you have to do the Sprinkler,
then you keep going.

So you have to do everyone's move
before you, then you add on to it.

-And if you mess up you drink.
-[Francesca] First to break it, drink.

-I'll do a little...
-[Kariselle] This could be a dance move.

[upbeat dance music playing]

That was actually complex.

-[Kariselle] Okay, you got it? Yes.
-[Francesca] There you go.

[cheering]

[laughter]

[Georgia] He gives it his all! He really...

[cheering]

Stop!

This man has definitely
practiced in his bathroom.

There's no way he just whips out a twerk
and it looks that good.

I'm on to you, Damian. I'm on to you.

[Francesca] Showing off
his porn star skills.

He has the craziest past ever.

He was a car salesman, a mechanic,

a construction worker,
a stripper, a nail tech.

-What was your stripper name?
-Magic Mark.

We need a demonstration.

Can you do a Magic Mark thing?

-[Joey] Is he going? Is he doing it?
-[screaming]

[Joey] He's going! He's going! He's going!

[Francesca] I've gone back and forth
with Damian three or four times.

I do have doubts
about our relationship in my head,

and then he strips down...

Whatever he's doing, it's hot.

[Francesca] I've actually never seen
Damian's d*ck before.

[Diamond] Damian's got the whitest butt!
Oh my God!

[Francesca] Ines is lucky.
That's all I can say.

[contestants] Magic Mark! Magic Mark!

-[Dom] Oh, sh...!
-[Georgia gasps]

I shaved my hoo-ha to f*ck.

I get my white a*s up,

[laughter]

[Damian] Coming in hot.

[screaming]

[screaming]

There's this sentence in French
that I love, it's like...

[in French] Joy is worn.
Happiness is cultivated.

-[in English] Anyway, point is, like...
-La joie...

[in French] Joy is worn.
Happiness is cultivated.

-[tries to repeat French phrase]
-La b-b-b.

[in English] Point is,
you have to cultivate happiness

because happiness is about
the small pleasure that are around you

and that people overlook.

I love how you speak.

[laughs]

That was the French philosophy moment.

-It was good.
-You know?

I embraced it.

[gentle music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[laughter]

It's pretty obvious
Damian's doing everything he can

to make Francesca jealous.

[Ines] No, no, no, no!

[chuckling]

It was like this.

I know, and then looking right at her.

[Ines] Stop.

[laughter]

[Diamond] It's so sad.

Literally, lifts her in the air,
but looks straight at her.

[Will] That's not Damian.
That's Magic Mark.

[Diamond] That's Magic Mark.
That is Magic Mark.

If you're Francesca, he's like this...

[laughter]

[Kariselle] Literally. Literally.

[laughter]

"Do you see what I'm doing to you?"

[Joey] But, see, I think, in his mind,
that's what he's doing.

He's like, "I might go for this one.
I might go for that one."

[Francesca] This is the cutest thing
I've ever seen in my life,

and it is really just making me so jealous
because Damian is the sweetest guy.

It's definitely...
the feelings are still there.

-Do you wanna kiss?
-Okay.

♪ Ready or not
He-he-here I come ♪


God, that's beautiful.
Honey, you live your life.

I support you 150%.

-I got nothing to complain about.
-You win some, you lose some.

[Joey] This ain't a loss.

Francesca being bisexual
is something that, um... is new to me,

and it's hot.
I don't know what else to tell you.

[Damian] This is a full triangle,
me, her, Abbey, Ines,

and so it's a challenging night.

[Joey] I have nothing to disagree with
about this situation.

[laughter]

[Abbey] Kariselle and Francesca were
hella making out in the pool.

I'm more just confused
because, like, what's the reason? Why?

What was the motivation?

While we're figuring things out,
figuring out what we are to each other.

♪ And I can't breathe when I'm angry ♪

This isn't a frat house
where you can, you know, whatever.

Like, I wanna be able to trust you.

to spend the night, just let me know.

[laughs]

It's not nothing. It's just not nothing.

I don't know.
That is something that irks me.

-[screaming]

Looks like you've been
having fun without me.

[Ines] Get naked!

You pulling the wiggies out?

No I'm not getting my boobs out.

Can everybody get
their hooters and wiggies out?

[laughs]

-Can we go for a chat?
-Yeah, can we?

[cheering]

[whooping, laughter]

-Um, you comfy?
-Yeah.

-Not good?
-I'm not feeling it.

I just feel like he's just not ready.

He's not ready. I know what I want.

I just can't get Shayne out of my head.

-[screams] Oh my God, oh my God!
-What?

[Kariselle giggles]

How you feeling about boardroom?

Um...

-[Mitchell] I don't know.
-Like, were you and Chloe good last night?

Going to bed? Were you guys, like...?

If I'm being 100% honest,
there is something holding us back.

I said, "You're not the type to wait,

but I can't give you that security
and commitment right now."

Yeah.

You gotta pursue other options,
explore other things.

So, where's your head at with that?

-Dom, I gotta sh**t you straight, brother.
-Okay, f*ck, sh*t...

I'm just gonna put it out there.
I'm gonna be 100% honest.

Don't do this to me.

Dom, the only other person I click with

aside from Chloe is Georgia.

As tough as that is, man to man,
like, I'm gonna follow my heart.

-Yeah.
-So, it's like...

-It's tough, bro.
-You can sh**t your shot.

But I'mma let you know
I'm playing defense. You know?

Let's see what happens, bro.

[Dom] That got me hot.
Now I'm sweating. I'm heated, bro.

[Dom] So, it's boardroom today...

[Georgia] Oh gosh.

Mitch pulled me aside,
asked me if I want to talk,

and drops the b*mb on me
that he wants to explore other options,

and that main option is Georgia.

Oh my God.

-[mimics expl*si*n]
-[Dom chuckles]

How you feel after last night?

I don't know.
I still haven't talked to Francesca.

She was asleep this morning,
and I don't know how to...

-You haven't said a word?
-I haven't because I haven't seen her.

'Cause I think they're both
very flirtatious people.

So am I. It doesn't mean
I'm gonna make out with everybody.

I'm a sensitive b*tch.
I'm sorry. I just am. Like...

I feel she needs to talk to her,

and I feel once it's explained
and you set those boundaries,

I think it will be perfect.

Mm. Y'all don't know me that well.

So you don't think you're gonna let it go.

-Probably not. No, that's the truth.
-[Diamond] Wow.

Hi, Francesca.

Hey.

-Hey, cutie. How did you sleep?
-[Francesca] Morning. Um...

I was pretty drunk, so...

Will, gotta get something to drink.
Come with me.

I need more coffee anyways.

Love you, guys!

-Love you! Bye!
-Bye, William.

Morning. You disappear before I wake up.
I'm like, "Where is she?"

-I'm an early riser.
-I know, I'm, like, not. At all.

I like to sleep in.

Oh, I suck at talking
about real things. Um...

-[tense music playing]
-Okay? So, I heard...

Okay, hang on, let me center myself.

I saw you and Kariselle
were making out last night.

Oh. Yeah, we do that sometimes.

See, I don't... eh...

I don't like that. I don't know.

But there's no romantic anything
between her and I, obviously.

We're just friends, like...

That's just, to me, not a great sign
'cause... I don't know.

-What's the reason?
-Yeah.

Like... you could be kissing me.

-Yeah.
-It's just kind of a bad look, for me.

-Leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
-Yeah.

It's like, I'm kind of unsure now...

Obviously, there's dates today.

Um, I have no idea
what's gonna happen with that.

I wouldn't mind going on a date today.

I haven't spoken with anyone else.

You know, I actually am
taking this seriously.

No, me as well.

I know that I am.

[ominous music playing]

I think an innocent kiss
is not that big of a deal.

Maybe there's a lot of other things
going on with Abbey,

and the way she feels about

being in the relationship
with a woman for the first time.

If she's gonna use the kiss in the pool
with Kariselle as an excuse to cut me off,

then it's her loss at the end of the day.

[upbeat music playing]

[screams]

-Oh my God! We're in the boardroom.
-I like it.

Hi, Nick!

Chloe and Mitchell,
welcome to the boardroom.

Ooh!

This is the board.

[suspenseful music playing]

On the bottom, you'll see
the other, less compatible couples,

and on the top, for the first time,

all of the singles
that have already been in the house.

[Chloe gasps]

[Lachey] The singles are...
Bartise from Love Is Blind...

Will you marry me?

[shrieks] Yes!

[both laughing]

[Lachey] ...Calvin from The Circle...

My Nubian queen. Crown emoji.

[Lachey] ...Shayne from Love Is Blind...

-I'm done talking right now.
-I know.

So done talking. Come on.

[Lachey] ...and Zay from The Ultimatum.

-Play!
-Stop touching me with them things.

[giggling]

The two of you have the opportunity
to give two of these guys a second chance.

Now, you can match them with any two
members of the less compatible group,

or you can choose to mix things up
and match them with yourself.

Everyone here is looking for love,

but only one couple
can be voted the Perfect Match.

Good luck. See you guys later.

Okay.

I'm so happy right now
that Shayne's on the board.

I don't know how I'm gonna navigate this.

-I feel like God right now.
-Yeah, right?

Legitimately.

[Mitchell] Wow.

Wow, I don't know if I'm ready
for this responsibility right now.

I'm ready. I know how to make a match.
Let's do it.

-Ooh! Okay...
-So, do you wanna do the honors?

Yeah, let's have a look at Diamond.

Diamond has literally just walked in.
She doesn't know any of the guys.

She's still trying
to get to know the guys.

[Mitchell] Diamond's someone in my eyes
that I wanna lean more towards

just because she doesn't
have any options that aren't in couples.

Like, her and Will got together,

but everybody else
is in such strong couples.

I feel like she really deserves
a chance to get to know more people.

Mm-hmm.

I'm going Diamond.
Let me bring Calvin into the picture.

Yeah, I'm not gonna lie...

I think they both have
the same fun, spontaneous,

get down and get loose energy.

but they're both genuinely
good-hearted people.

I think they'll connect on the big things.

I think they're both really good people,

but in terms of being
in an actual relationship,

I couldn't imagine them having sex.

-I just couldn't imagine... I just... Ugh.
-[chuckles]

Not where my head goes, but...

-Okay, noted.
-Yeah.

Let's pull Calvin out.

Come on in here, Zay.

Hmm.

I don't know if Diamond and Zay
would be a perfect match,

but I feel like
they would definitely get on.

I feel like Zay would be Diamond's type.

I know this would be a friendship.

I don't know how much
love connection would be there.

Diamond is my girl. I wanna pair her with
someone I know is a good match for her.

I'm with that.

I'm confident with that.

-I'll trust you.
-Sorry, Zay!

Personally, I would say Diamond-Bartise,

just because I think
they both have that depth and that fun.

I'm also just picturing
Diamond and Bartise on a date together,

and I know they would
have such a good time.

Okay, I'm cool with it. Let's lock 'em in.

[humming]

We have control... Oh, we unified 'em!

[chuckles] Woo!

-[Mitchell] Wow, that was easy.
-[sighs]

-They'll come back from boardroom soon.
-[Damian] I wanna know what's going on.

I think it's gonna be
Abbey and Diamond going on dates.

-That's what I was thinking.
-Yeah.

[tense music playing]

[Francesca] Might get a twist.

[clicking tongue]

A little twisty twist.

-I just really felt like twerking.
-I f*cking hate you.

I love this side of you.
I love when you're just so carefree.

You don't take time to think.
You just speak.

The best moments.

You just think I'm cute.

Everybody's good?

I'm not good. I'm dying on the inside.

-Do you have a bad feeling about...?
-Oh yeah.

Are you sure that he's considering it?

[both chuckling]

-I'd say so, yeah.
-[Dom] Yeah.

[Ines] I'm not a fool.

I know that Damian still
have feeling for Francesca.

I see the way he looks at her,

but Francesca is someone
who's used to having so much attention.

So, if something is happening
between Damian and Francesca,

I wanna know that it's somehow genuine,

not that it's an absolute
stupid move to stay in the house.

He's drawn to very strong women,

but, you know, at some point

there's good kind of love
and bad kind of love.

I care about him, so it would make me mad

that he would actually
be with someone here for a strategy

rather than genuine feelings.

Because I know he's someone
who have a lot to give.

[suspenseful music playing]

What's happening?

[Joey] Oh!

Oh sh*t.

-Yeah.
-[chuckles]

It's obviously just me. Uh...

[Damian] Oh f*ck.

-Chloe wanted to pursue other options.
-Come on!

We agreed it's not working right now.

You are one of the stronger couples
in the house.

Chloe is sending herself
on a date with Shayne, and that's that.

I can't. I'm shocked.

The decision was not easy
for the rest of everybody

'cause there's definitely strong couples
and some people we wanted to give a shot,

and ultimately,

Diamond,
you gotta get ready for your date.

-And...
-[Abbey] Okay, queen.

...that's all we got.

[Francesca] Have fun. No, look happy.

You're gonna have fun.

Go into it with an open mind.

[Will] I assume Diamond's
gonna be going on a date,

and I'm a competitive dude.

I don't think I have
a genuine connection with her...

[all] Have fun.

-I love you.
-[Joey] Love you.

...but I do hope I find my perfect match

because this is just as much a competition
as it is anything else.

because it was a massive risk that I took.

I cannot imagine myself

Thank you for being patient with me.

And patience is not my forte.

There's nothing there
with me and Mitch at all.

-No?
-Nothing.

We had a conversation last night.
We went on a date, and it wasn't a date.

We didn't kiss.
There was no physical attraction.

There was nothing.

I said to him today,
"I'm choosing Shayne."

"I needed to choose you
to put 100% commitment into Shayne,"

'cause you deserve 100% commitment.

-I just wanna say...
-Yeah.

...it wasn't like you were
the second choice.

I know in my mind that Shayne
could potentially be my perfect match.

I am, like, almost certain,

but I just need to make sure.

Like, knowing that we had
left on the terms we did

and not being able to speak...

I needed to just make sure
that you know and you understand

that I'm all into you.

Like, there is no one else,
and I can guarantee that.

Obviously, this is all great,
but, you know, it's also– it's scary too.

Yeah.

I really don't want drama.
That's not the kind of person I am.

I wanna make sure that
I'm not going back in a situation where...

-Yeah.

Didn't end up matching with her,

but I'm excited for my second blind date.

Hi, sweetie! Hi, boo-boo!

Are you my little pottery buddy?

I literally have no idea
who could be showing up right now.

I hope whoever comes
gets along with me and is comfortable,

and we can have a great date.

Maybe I'll be meeting
my perfect match here today.

Hello!

Hey, hey! What's up?

-How are you?
-I'm good. How are you?

-Good to see you.
-You too.

-I'm Bartise.
-I'm Diamond.

-Diamond, I recognize you.
-How do you recognize me?

-From Love Is Blind. I seen your season.
-Oh!

-We got a lot to talk about. [laughs]
-Yeah.

Take a seat there on the purple one.

-Thank you.
-Put these on.

Whoa, right into it!

Hey, help me... Watch the hair.

[Bartise] So we're doing pottery today.

Also, we have drinks here.

-Thank you.
-Uh-huh. What would you like?

-Did you set this up?
-I sure did.

Okay!

Bartise is very hot. I'm really excited.

Girl, y'all saw him.

[giggles]

-Mine's gonna look good.
-Let's see it.

-You're about to see it.
-Big old nails. Nails gon' look real good.

[Diamond] It's okay.

-I like to play dirty sometimes.
-Jesus. Here we go. [chuckles]

Tell me about yourself.

Well, like you, I was looking
for that perfect match I didn't find.

-It's all good now though.
-Right, now you're here with me.

-[laughs]
-That's even better.

Where you from?

I'm from Dallas. I live in Dallas.

-I love Dallas.
-In financial consulting.

-Wow.
-So that's what I do. How about you?

I currently live in Atlanta.

-I'm from Chicago though.
-Okay.

Yeah, and right now
I do own my own business.

-Jewelry line.
-You're in jewelry?

I noticed your jewelry.
You've got a lot going on.

I like this piece right here.

[Diamond] Thank you!

Normally, I wear a watch
and bracelet over here.

If we matched,
we could start a men's line.

We could! Is my face red a little bit?

-No.
-I kind of blushed.

-Did you blush?
-A little bit.

-Aw.
-That was corny.

You're cute as hell. Okay.

-You are something else.
-Oh, I know.

-I'm gonna have to watch you.
-Yeah. Please do.

Please do. Keep a close eye.

[Mitchell] Damian, I feel like
we went similar vibes.

-We both went classy.
-Classy.

-[Joey] Mitch, I gotta be honest.
-We started classy?

He's setting the bar of class
in a different level.

He is with that shirt.
That's a dangerous shirt-shoe combo.

-[Joey] Nah, it's the shoes.
-[laughter]

[cheering, screaming]

Bartise, yay!

Y'all tried to get rid of me?
Y'all tried to get rid of me?

-[Georgia laughing]
-[Damian] You look stunning. Stunning.

[Georgia] Hi. How are you?

You all right? Good to see you again.

First when I see Bartise,
it is a bit awkward,

and I'm not interested at all,

especially after how it ended last time.

So all I'm thinking of right now
is what is going on with Damian.

And the fact that Francesca is not really
secure with her match right now

makes me feel worried.

Let's go over there to the bar,
where we all belong.

Seeing Ines is awkward at first.
I don't know what she's thinking.

I know how I'm thinking.

I need to find a real connection.

I think Diamond is number one
after that great date that we had.

Big brown eyes I'm a sucker for.

But I'm still looking forward
to exploring my options.

Who knows what can happen?
This sh*t's crazy every night.

[Ines] How did it go, babe?

I had a lot of fun.
We had a lot of fun. Yeah.

-[Francesca] Wanna sneak away?
-[Kariselle] Yeah.

Wait, did you talk to Abbey?

[Francesca] No. I don't know if I wanna
waste my time talking to her.

Abbey can't even be
in the same room as me.

And you're gonna go from saying
you wanna explore the relationship,

to me making out with you,

to now you can't even be
in the same room as me?

Who would you see an actual future with?

With Damian? He's obsessed with you.

-[Francesca] What if it doesn't work out?
-You can always hook up with him.

-Yeah, but what's the point in that?
-Sorry, I'm such a sl*t.

No, I guess I'm like, "He's so hot."

I'm like, "I want to know
how big his d*ck is."

Like, I f*ck him, and then what?
Next day, like, what do I do then?

Like, the fact that
I ended that so quickly,

is that a red flag?
Should I just call it quits?

Or should I try again? I don't know.

There's other things I should prioritize,
like figuring out my actual vibes.

Oh sh*t!

-[Francesca] Guys!
-Guys!

[Joey] What?

-[Kariselle] Look!
-[Georgia] Oh my God.

Oh sh*t! Come on. We gotta see this.

-What's going on?
-Somebody walked back in the house.

He said he couldn't forgive me
and stormed off.

[Joey] Holy sh*t!

[Chloe] Yeah.

[Chloe, emotionally] He was like,
"I hate you. Don't talk to me again."

Amazing, that dress.
Holy sh*t, this dress is amazing.

[Ines] It was brave of you to try to,
you know, make things work.

Joking!

-Your boy's back, baby!
-[cheering]

[upbeat music playing]

She was way too happy about it.

-She's glowing.
-Yeah.

[whooping]

[Dom] You piece of sh*t!

-[Abbey] I was like, "She's too happy!"
-[laughing hysterically]

[Georgia] Get out!

Get out of here! We hate you!

-[Dom] No, man! You're an as*h*le, man.
-I could never leave you guys.

[Georgia screams]

Shayne walks through that door,
and I swear I'm gonna k*ll him.

I can't believe he would do that to me.

I can't believe Chloe would do that to me.

I was literally about to cry.

They pulled it off perfectly.

I am mad
because they fooled me. [chuckles]

-We're back, baby.
-That is horrible.

We pulled it off.

What's your deal? I haven't talked to you.

-Oh man!
-Mitchie-Mitch. What's your plan?

-Want a drink, boys?
-What's your plan?

I don't know, buddy.

'Sup, guys?

[Joey] Nick Lachey, baby!

[Lachey] How are we? Come on in.
So how was your day?

Amazing.

Good.

I'd say it's a great day.

[Lachey] Good, good.

Tonight is once again all about
making a genuine romantic connection.

So just focus on who you truly think
you could leave here with.

If you don't believe
your most compatible match is here,

then you must leave the house alone.

-Oh sh*t.
-It's elimination.

[Lachey] You only have one week left.

Who is your true romantic partner?

Who is your perfect match?

-Jesus.
-[laughing]

That was a lot.

Here's to finding love.

-Cheers.
-I heard that!

[Bartise] I'll drink to that!

-Good luck, guys.
-[Georgia] Bye, Nick Lachey!

[Kariselle] Bye, Nick Lachey!

[upbeat music playing]

This is the night to pull everything out.

-I'm gonna pull something.
-I'm going all out.

Diamond and Bartise
walk through the door holding hands.

Looks like the date went good.

I want her to pursue that option,
and I'm gonna pursue one of my own.

There's been somebody
who's had my eye the entire time

that has always been in a couple,

but now seems like
a fully acceptable... option.

I'm not gonna beat around any bush.

Without getting the chance
to fully know you,

I feel like I understand you so much,

and I have not seen anybody

meet that energy
that I think you need and deserve.

Somebody who knows what they want

and you're not just going
to settle for an opportunity.

And that's how I am.

If you were here from day one,

we would have f*cking smashed
this thing together.

[Will] It's not even close.

-I know we would have.
-It's not even close.

And even when we chat here and there,

I'm just, like... our energies just match.

What I'm looking for
is someone who's f*cking secure,

and I don't want someone who's sensitive,

and I want someone
who's very similar to me.

And I feel like you have
literally all of those, like, to a T.

[chuckles]

All of these dudes
have something to offer,

but do they have
the same things to offer that I do?

And I truthfully believe this,
arrogant or not... No.

If there's one person I truly believe is
a perfect match for me in this household,

that is absolutely where I stand with you.

I don't think we've had
an opportunity to scratch that surface.

Yeah, we haven't.

So my initial plan was
trying to figure things out with Damian,

but this is a twist
that I was not expecting,

and I haven't fully closed
that chapter with Abbey yet.

So I'm really confused.

I need a f*cking shot.

Tequila!

-[Abbey] Can I have you, Francesca?
-Yeah, of course.

[Abbey] Mm-hmm?

-Yeah.
-Wherever you want.

Shall we?
I feel this has been my seat of choice.

Me too! I've been doing the same thing.
Okay. Cool.

-I've been sitting here for a while, but...
-Okay. How you feeling? You good?

Yeah. What are you thinking?

[Abbey sighs]

-I don't know.
-Yeah.

I do think I mentally removed myself
a little bit after last night.

-'Cause once I'm done, I'm done.
-No, I know.

I don't think the kiss
was that big of a deal.

I feel like it's an excuse, maybe.

-Do you?
-A little bit.

Because me and Kariselle are best friends.
She has a boyfriend. Like...

If I have someone that
I'm talking to seriously, I don't do that.

-[poignant music playing]
-I'm fragile. That's the reality.

I didn't think about kissing Kariselle.

I didn't think that was a big deal.
You do think that's a big deal.

And I feel like that's
maybe just us not vibing.

I don't know. Maybe I'm a little scared.

I'm already kind of inexperienced
when it comes to relationships with women.

It's still all new to me.

That's what I sense with you.
I had a feeling you were more reserved.

I wanted to treat you
like a little baby bird,

and I was like, "I'm not gonna pressure.
I'm not gonna be touching,"

'cause I wanted to make you comfortable,
and everything got lost in translation.

Yeah, I don't know.

I want you to find someone in here
that's for you.

Obviously, I don't think it's us.

Maybe in a different environment
or in different circumstances...

-Who knows? It's hard to tell.
-Yeah.

♪ Baby, now that it's over ♪

Please, can we get a pet monkey?

Let's wait on the pet monkey.
Let's go with pet dog first. Dog first...

Okay. But probably after marriage?

Mm, I don't know.

We're gonna have a house
after marriage, right?

-No, you'd have a house before marriage.
-Really?

Yeah, move in... Why not?

If you know you love someone,
then you move in with them.

-Then you have babies and get married.
-Fair, okay.

I feel like back at day one
when I first met Shayne.

I feel so happy right now,

and I'm gonna try not to
rub it in Mitchell's face that he lost me.

I can't wait to get in bed with Shayne.

[giggling]

I have strong swimmers,

so it's like they could be
popped out in two seconds.

-Well, we are putting a condom on that.
-Okay, well...

[both laughing]

[Ines sighs]

How are you feeling?

Stressed?

Trying to process things.

-One step at a time.
-Yeah.

I want, first,
you to tell me how you feel.

I really do have feelings for you.

I think you're so beautiful,
and your personality's so real...

We grew. We developed.
Our moments were really good, but...

I'm still thinking about Francesca.

[emotional music playing]

I'm really glad
you came to that conclusion

because I could feel
that you were tormented.

And I was like, "How can
someone with such a good heart

be so attracted to..."

For me, there's "good love"
and "bad love."

Good love makes you grow,

makes you uplifted,
makes you a better person.

And the bad love can sometimes be toxic.

And I'm not saying
that Francesca is a bad person,

but, for me, the experience
that you had with Francesca,

of you being together
and her going for Abbey after a date,

and it feels like you're
someone who's attracted to "bad love."

And it kind of made me
realize that I want someone

who genuinely wants to have "good love."

And that made me stop
having that connection with you

this afternoon, seeing that.

It doesn't make me
think of you as a bad person at all,

but I know I don't want that in my life,

and I'll be there
if I can help in any way,

but not in a romantic involvement.

I understand.

But I also know one thing for sure is
that there's no other match for me here.

And I will never make a match
just to comply or to settle.

And I've learned so much here.

And you're a great person too.

I love you. I really do.

♪ I don't wanna waste my time ♪

♪ Don't wanna waste my time with you ♪

[Ines] It is difficult for me. I think
that this could have been something.

But I'm fine.

It's his own life,
and I'm not a part of it.

And Damian does Damian.

And Ines does Ines.

Guys... I'm doing a small toast.

-[Bartise] Small toast! Big toast!
-Woo!

Just to say I'm so f*cking grateful
for all of you. I mean, almost all of you.

[Kariselle]
Why are you saying it like a goodbye?

Because it's a goodbye.
Because I love you guys.

-And I'm leaving in a most happy way.
-[Kariselle] Why are you leaving?

What?

-[Abbey] Are you leaving right now?
-Oh my God. No!

What's going on here?

[Abbey] I would like it
if you didn't do that. Please don't go.

Take care of yourself, okay?

[Chloe] And your perfect match
is out there,

waiting for you, probably in France?

[Ines] I think my perfect match
is in Essex.

-No, it's "railed like a wh*re."

-It's not being a wh*re on a railroad.
-I'll stop by every train station. Yes!

[music resumes]

I literally took
the assignment for what it is.

Match with people,

unmatch with them if it's not working.

And this is what I did.

I'm not here to do the work
or compensate for someone else.

I know what I want.

I have not found my perfect match,

but I did learn a lot about American guys.

[Mitchell] Georgia,
can I pull you for a chat?

I really do feel like a hand job
going for Georgia.

I really feel like a ferking hand job,

but with me and Chloe splitting today,

I'm gonna go
and sh**t my shot with Georgia.

We clicked initially.

She's beautiful. She's a little rocket.

May the best man win.

How are you?

-Honestly, ferking incredible right now.
-You are?

Yeah. Like... You know what it is?

I'm sure you caught wind
or a whisper down the lane.

-I did. Dom told me.
-I was talking to Dom.

Like, "Look..."
He was like, "Who else you looking at?"

"As weird as it is, I just feel like
I naturally click with Georgia."

-"We have similar energies and vibes."
-Yeah.

And I was like, "I would regret not,
at least, throwing it out there."

[mischievous music playing]

I appreciate that.

But I think, like,
she's my best friend in here,

and as her friend...

-It's ferked.
-...I don't f*cking want that for her.

I know.

At the end of the day, I know I just
could not have walked out of here

knowing I left that on the table.

-What do you think?
-I am solid with Dom.

Oh, yeah.

You know what, like...
we've had such a hard run in here.

There's been someone here, someone there,

and every time
we've come back to each other

and been super strong.

-I really like him.
-I respect it!

At the end of the day,
you can't help but say what you feel.

-That's it, you know.
-That's where I'm at.

-There's nothing else I would have done.
-Yeah.

-Okay.

I don't know how Diamond's date
went with Bartise.

So I don't know where they stand,
but, I mean, Bartise is hot.

So I do definitely wanna talk to him.
See if there's anything there at all.

I'm here to find love.
I'd love that. That would be amazing.

So, at the end of the day,

I need to do
what I feel like is right for me.

-Are you good?
-So far, so good.

Yeah, I wanna explore other options,

but there's no one here
that I'm particularly into.

But I don't connect with people
super easily. It's not like so...

Yes, you do. Yes, you do.

-Maybe we have a good vibe.
-It's not my first time in the house...

-"It's not my first rodeo."
-Shut the f*ck up. God.

When you look at me with those eyes
and big smile,

how can I not be like, "Yeah, I'm vibing"?

[Abbey] Oh, f*ck you.

Why are you smiling so hard?

-Whatever
-Yeah, I know.

-I'm bad at expressing things.

-Yes, I want to.

to the side. Where is he?

-[Shayne] Where's your head at right now?
-I talked to Francesca.

-That went better than I thought.
-I wanna know how that went.

I just told her what I was feeling,
like, "Let's just not be weird."

-[Shayne] So, does that mean it's over?
-I think so.

Yeah.

Does that mean you and Bartise
might be a little thing?

[Diamond] And there is Bartise.

-I'm into that. Cheers to that.
-Perfect. Cheers.

He wanted Abbey. Yeah, I'm not tripping.

-You've got this. Don't be sad.
-I know. Girl, I'm not.

We had a good date,
but he's not the guy for me.

-[Mitchell] Ferk him, then. Ferk him.
-I kind of felt it though.

-You know who the ferk you are.
-No, I'm good.

I had a really good date with Bartise.

It's making me sad that Bartise
wanted to explore other options,

which is fine.
I mean, just be real and tell me that,

so I won't be looking like
Boo Boo the Fool on damn camera.

How you feeling?

Good.

[Diamond] It's hard to say that I am
gonna go back with Will or not.

I'm still in my head right now.

Will and I vibe really well.
I laugh, I have a good time,

but it's a little bit more
on just the friend level.

I'm definitely exploring my options

because I know I have
to make a big decision tonight,

and I don't wanna make the wrong decision.

-What happened with your night?
-I had a good night.

We went out on a date, we had a good vibe,

but... I felt that he was into Abbey,
and I just wanted people to be honest.

Have I been anything but?

-Honest. You have.
-So I'm gonna tell you right now.

That conversation I just had
with Francesca

was me absolutely telling her
that I see a possibility with her.

Glad everybody's being honest tonight.

Yeah, I don't know where you stand...

Why didn't you tell me
you had feelings for Francesca?

Well, feelings and conversation
with her are very different.

So you've been feeling that and knew it
was an opportunity to run after Francesca.

-Absolutely. Like...
-Yeah. Good.

That's...

Yeah. That's awesome.

Good luck with that.

-I understand how you feel...
-And I hope you might be that option.

And I'm walking out of here
head high, honestly.

How are you feeling?

[Francesca] I hate tonight.

I had the hardest conversation with Ines.

It was brutal. It's not easy.

But if I were to pursue
the next week with her,

it wouldn't be what I feel for you,
what I had for you.

I'd be lying to myself and her.

I did what I came here to do
and that was to build a connection

with somebody I cared about more
than I thought I would, and that's you.

It's Francesca or bust for me.

You're my ride or die.

There's nothing that can
stand between me and you. Nothing.

They're all looking over here.

I wanna give things
with Damian another shot.

I feel he deserves that,

but this beautiful temptress
of a blond Hercules is f*cking hot.

Am I bold enough to explore it?
I don't know.

I think this is a scenario
you gotta pull her and talk to her.

You have to. It's that time of the night.

-I don't know. I haven't talked to her.
-It looks good though.

Like, does it look good? Does it look bad?

[Joey] I don't know.

[Will] You know Damian's face.
What does that say right there?

He's giving the "Francesca smirk." The...

What do you think?
You tell me and I'll do it right now.

Walk up to her and be like, "I need you."

-Easy, done. Let's get this over with.

Hey, bro, real quick,
do you mind if I steal for a second?

Absolutely, brother. Yep. Go for it.

They're like, "You gotta talk to her."

I can't... You're whispering.
I can't hear you.

I was like, "I don't want any pressure."
I'm like... I'm like...

Did you tell him, like,
you're staying with him?

Yeah, I have to see it through.

I went all in on you, and it goes back to,

"Oh, you're great. I'm just
not ready for anything right now."

You pacing yourself now makes me
feel like, "Does he have cold feet?"

My thing is, the definition of insanity

is doing the same thing over
and expecting different results.

-I'm trying to be different.
-Am I insane right now? [laughs]

No, that's why I'm trying
to be different with my approach.

That's why I'm trying to go about things
in a different way.

I'm also looking at things
in a different way, which is healthy.

Right now, I'm looking at a girl
who is just 100% my soulmate,

but I'm a little hesitant to move forward.

Marriage, that really scares me,

and I have to sit here
and really think to myself,

"What the hell is going on with me
that I'm not just 100% ready to go?"

Like, I really don't know.

Well, that's a dealbreaker for me.

[unsettling music playing]

I feel like I am so much closer
to finding my perfect match,

which means finding my husband.

I feel like Joey's the person for me.
He's my one,

and if this doesn't work out,

I'll come out of this like the stupid girl
who didn't see that coming.

And if that's the case,
I would leave him immediately.

I don't know if I can
ever repair that damage.

When we leave the house,
would you be ready to get married?

I've never wanted the boring,
mundane, 9-to-5 life,

and I don't think my personal life
will ever be that way either.

So you never wanna get married? Why?

I'm taking things right now
one day at a time with us.

That's where we're so different.
