Episode 2
Where they paired up for a high-adrenaline adventure That pushed dating to the limit.
Well, some might call it the wildest first date ever.
- Those are ants! Oh! - Sam and mike hit it off.
They smooched and they smooched.
And they smooched some more.
- I could get used to that.
- And eventually they stopped smooching Just long enough to come in first.
- Yes! - So it was off to the lap of luxury At the oasis.
- We're in the world's coolest tree house.
- Dawn and jared didn't fare so well.
Their shoddy raft fell apart In crocodile-infested waters.
- Get your [.]
together.
Let's do this.
- They survived but came in last.
- [groans.]
- However, they were not eliminated.
You'll find out more about that tomorrow.
They joined the other couples staying in their own cabins.
- There's only one bed.
Now I'm forced to sleep with a hot chick.
That really sucks.
- Later that night, ben managed to annoy all of the women - Yeah, and the boss lady is taking charge.
- Except for brandee.
- That's why we're gonna fight later on.
- I'm not scared to fight.
- [laughs.]
- And vanessa couldn't keep her paws off steele.
- Mm-hmm.
- But look at thatace.
Can you blamher? - This is my man, And no one better uch.
- At the couples' chce ceremony, Everyone had the chance to switch partners And almost everyone did, Except for sam and mike and steele and vanessa.
- I'm gonna stay with steele.
- And when it was over, no one switched With last place dawn and jared.
- Remove your bracelets.
So they were eliminated.
- Good luck, everyone.
- Tonight, the remaining nine couples will compete In a brand new adventure.
- Oh, my goodness.
There are bats.
Aah! - Some relationships will reach new heights.
- Oh, my god.
- And others will hit rock bottom.
- Let's go.
No, I just want to prove you wrong.
- As love in the wild begins right now.
- Oh! - After the first couples' choice ceremony, Where we could choose to stay together Or switch things up, The couples that split up packed up their things To switch cabins.
I think the majority of us just still wanted to look around To find a "love connection.
" - All right, I'm gonna go move into my new home.
- Good luck.
- I'll see ya.
- Who knows what may happen along this road.
I didn't get along with heather at all.
It takes a special kind of person To really like me long-term.
Some people would say I'm the nicest guy ever, And some girls would probably say I was the biggest dick they've ever met.
- This crazy adventure.
I was ready to make a switch, And I'm really excited to move forward and move on to miles.
All right.
- This is it.
- I was a little nervous because I have a little crush on him And I can't help but feel a little scared.
Were you surprised when I picked you? - Actually I was hoping you would.
- Really? - Yeah.
When heather picked me, I felt pretty good about it Because I think she's really sweet.
I mean, she looks good in a bikini, So that's a plus.
- Honestly, I'm surprised at the couples That came out of tonight.
Miles leaving me for heather, I was so shocked.
It bruises your ego, but it opens doors.
I picked jason to do the next adventure with.
I think he's super sweet.
I don't know.
I feel like I want to get to know him more.
You might actually have more stuff than me.
That's asome.
My new partner is erica, And I'm pretty stoked.
By f, I think She's one of the most autiful gis here.
- [laus.]
- This is not like the oasis.
- I'm about to take up l the closet space.
You better hurry.
- It's been tough for me to find somebody special Because I started, you know, a new business.
It's been a very tough real estate market, So I put all my energy into that.
But it feels like it's time for me To get serious about looking And sam could be the one for me.
- I think steele and I are the best-matched couple.
He's your tall, dark, and handsome person That, you know, every girl dreams of.
I do want to have children.
I want to hopefully have two boys and a girl, Just like that.
And it would be great to have that With someone like steele, I think.
- After the couples' choice, I ended up sticking with vanessa, But there's other girls here I want to meet And I'm gonna start, you know, Talking to other women a little bit.
They fall.
- [laughs.]
- I feel like I'd really be interested In getting to know steele Because he has a great personality And he's got a cool sense of humor.
[laughs.]
But I feel as though he's locked up.
[laughter.]
- Coming up If you do fall to your death, You'll die together as a couple.
- Oh! - Dude, shut up! - Like, what adult tells another person to shut up? - And later - Oh, thank you.
- I love surprises.
- I was nervous as [bleep.]
.
- He really stepped it up.
- All right, guys, welcome to your next adventure.
How are you all feeling? - Good.
- Now, you guys came here with the hope of falling in love, But falling is the last thing you want to do On this adventure.
I've brought you to a maze of bridges That hang high over the jungle floor.
It's an intricate series of paths Incredibly easy to get lost on, And you won't have a map.
The good news is, if you do fall Hundreds of feet to your death, You'll die together as a couple, 'cause you'll be attached to each other With these tethers.
There are six in total that you'll have to collect.
They're hidden within the maze, And you'll have to strap each one to yourselves Before you continue on, And you must remain attached For the entirety of this adventure.
Being literally connected like this Will test you and your partner's trust in each other.
The first couple to cross the finish line With all six tethers still attached Will win a night of total luxury At the oasis, And you'll be safe from elimination.
Okay, guys, on my mark, You can take off in either direction.
But first of all, You're going to need to get your first tether, Which are located in the trees behind you now.
Some are a lot harder to find than others.
Are you ready to do this? - Yeah! - Okay.
3, 2, 1, vamoose.
- See anything? Steele, do you see one yet? - No.
- Is that one? Yeah.
- I care very strongly for mike.
He has a lot of the characteristics That I look for in a partner, And every adventure, I learn more about him.
- Whoa.
- [bleep.]
.
- Down.
Ready? - Perfect.
Just clip ion right away.
Right off the bat, adam and I, We worked well together.
I feelike he's someone That I could potentially have a connection with.
- See anything? I can't seanything.
- I know.
- Once the race began, me and brandee Were like two little lost puppy dogs.
[bleep.]
!Randee, look.
- I'm looking.
- I'm gettg mad at her already.
I'm like, are you looking or what? - Oh, right here.
Ben.
- You see one? - Yeah.
- One of the things that I'm most interested in seeing Is how she's gonna react to me and my competitive nature.
This is so stupid.
- Ben gets frurated really easily, So we did not have a good start.
- I mean, we are high up he.
- I just don't think about it.
I don't look down.
- Some of the bridges are hundreds of feet, uh, Above the ground.
Being that I am scared of heights, I am going nuts.
- I'd do it.
- You'd jump on a tree right here? - Yes.
- Good god.
- I'm always the kind of person that wants to go, guns blazing, And sometimes, it might be a little too intense For, you know, the person that I'm with.
- How aryou doing? - I'm doing great.
How are you doing? - Good, good.
Doing good, doing good.
We're doing good - This is great.
I've got somebody who's positive right now.
I believe that me and kym have a good vibe going.
I mean, she's a boston girl.
She's from my home town.
The more and more I get to know her, The more and more I like her.
Hey, look.
- What? Oh! Oh, my gosh! - I just saved our ass.
- Seriously.
You rock.
- Dude.
- Hell yeah.
- If you go on that side of me, Like, look how much-- - slack we have right now.
- Yeah.
Nothing.
Being connected to jason is a little bit frustrating.
He keeps bumping into me.
- Okay.
- Dude.
- Here, let me get on this side.
Well, you keep standing on over here.
Erica started snapping at me immediately.
- [groans.]
dude, my ankles, I need 'em.
- I'm a man of a lot of patience, But I just didn't get why she was doing it.
- Oh, this stupid tether.
- "beware of bats"? - Oh, my goodness.
[squeaking.]
Oh, my goodness.
There are bats.
Aah! - Holy [bleep.]
.
The bats were not pleasant.
I was not happy to be in there.
Ooh.
Whoa! - Look for a tether.
Hey.
Oh, my god, that is the first time I've seen a bat that close before.
- Oh! - Let's go, come on.
- There are just bats flying at your face And they're pooping as they're flying by.
Oh, god.
- We saw one of the other couples That hiked on the same way, And they had another tether.
No, where was it, steele.
Come on.
- Oh, my god.
Don't say anything.
- It's in the tunnel, dude.
- It was in the bat c--? We didn't look in the [bleep.]
bat cave.
I'm pretty aggravated at this point.
Why didn't you look around? - I told you, "I bet there's one in here.
" - Well, why didn't you look? - You're driving me nuts.
My first impression of ben was that he's a jerk.
Just his reactions being so disproportionate To what's actually just happened.
- How many you guys got? - Three.
- [bleep.]
.
Let's go this way.
- We're gonna go this way.
- But they came from that way and they have two.
Wait, three.
- Well, let's go.
We're gonna have to go every way as it is.
We started bickering quite a bit.
I'm a pretty easy guy to get along with, But it's getting a little bit annoying.
- All I know is we're not gonna get the two that they have.
- Oh, my goodness.
Nervous nelly over here.
- I don't know what was really going on.
It really felt like I was looking at dr.
Jekyll And mrs.
Hyde.
He was extremely different Than the person that I liked.
- One of the challenges was, you have to go across A bridge that looked so beaten up.
There's holes, there's cracked boards.
It was-- it was terrifying.
- Oh! - Okay, that doesn't blend in or anything.
We picked up a tether And I had so much anxiety going through me, I can't even explain it.
Yeah, yeah, I'm just--okay.
Not liking the height.
- Derek was a little panicked, And I wasn't expecting that.
If you act like a girl, I probably want nothing to do with you.
- We are high up here.
[bleep.]
this.
- All right, over.
[wood snaps.]
- Oh! [bleep.]
! - Oh! [bleep.]
! The next thing I know, I'm suspended in the air.
It was--it was terrifying.
[bleep.]
! [bleep.]
! - Come on.
- Sweetie, you gotta slow down, dude.
- Sorry.
I just pulled you back up.
- Just give me a second.
- He was a little mortified after that, I think.
- I'm worried about falling through that crack.
- That is definitely the opposite of my type.
- Oh, no! Look! - What? - There's bats in there.
- Aw, come on.
You ready? Let's just go.
- We're gonna go.
Go.
1, 2, 3.
Oh! No, get out! Get out! In the bat cave, I kind of had a blond moment, Even though I'm a brunette.
Do you think we missed a rope in the bat cave? 'cause I wasn't looking.
- I wasn't either, really.
Let's go.
We thought there was a tether in the bat cave And we missed it.
We've got to turn around and go back.
- Oh, man.
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
I think I'm afraid of heights.
[both laugh.]
- I love surfing, so I'm in my element in the adventures.
So I was, like, worried we weren't the best match.
I think I'm just gonna sleep out here tonight.
- You're on your own.
- I think your left butt is heavier than your right butt.
[both laugh.]
We had missed one of the tethers in the bat cave.
We had to backtrack all the way back.
- Here.
I got it.
That actually is a nice view.
- Oh, yeah.
- We're so [bleep.]
good, we stop and look at the views.
- I like skip.
We're two mellow people, And I think it's going really well.
- I'm all brawn, no brains.
- Well, I got the brains.
I'm smarter than I look.
- An ideal relationship for me Is a girl that I have to keep up with a little bit And keep me on my toes.
It has to be a lot of laughs.
And so far, those are things that theresa has.
- There's the short one.
Oh, great.
- On the rickety bridge, the tether that we found, It was so short, So you have to be connected to your partner In a really close range.
Oh, my god.
Look at that big one up ahead.
I thought, I don't know if I can do this.
Like, this is freaking me out.
- Just walk on the side.
Here.
Now I'll be right behind you like this.
- Thankfully, miles was like, we'll do this.
Like, I felt like he was really supportive through that, And it's a really attractive quality.
- I'm right behind you.
- Okay.
- So you move and I'll move when you move, okay? - Okay.
- Go for it.
- Okay.
- If you care about a person, Then you definitely want to help 'em out And try and pick 'em up a little bit.
- Whew! The bridge of death.
- [sighs.]
- Can I jump now? - No! No! - Yeah! - Don't, please.
- It's okay.
- He starts jumping up and down on the bridge And wobbling it around, And I'm totally afraid of heights.
Just stop.
- [laughs.]
- Dude! - Dude, I totally got you through the other bridge, So let me enjoy this one.
I couldn't believe how seriously she was taking everything.
Like, you're freaking out 'cause I'm just having A little good time.
- I just asked you to stop, like, 15 times.
Would you please stop? I see it as very immature And not someone that I want to spend Any more time with.
- A tail.
That's six, right? Count 'em.
- This is awesome.
- We just fished all six.
- Six.
We're on our way to the finish line.
Hopefully it's coming close.
- Team boston.
- Come on up.
Welcome.
How'd you think it went? - Really awesome.
- Good team.
- I couldn't ask for a better teammate.
- Well, you came first.
- [laughs.]
- [screams.]
- Congratulations, guys.
- I told you.
- You're off to the oasis To get a little bit of pampering.
Also, 'cause I'm such a nice guy, Just as a bit of a bonus, we're gonna whisk you away Tomorrow in a helicopter And you'll be dropped off for a five-star lunch With some of the most breathtaking views on earth.
- What? I didn't expect to win that at all.
It was, like, a great feeling.
We're first.
- Yeah.
- How are you doing? - Great.
- Good.
Ready to be untied.
- You came second.
- I didn't know we were second, though, that's all.
- How are you doing? You guys came third.
- Sweet.
- Not so bad.
Hey, welcome.
A little menage a quatre going on here, huh? You're fourth, which means you're fifth.
I'll see you tomorrow at the couples' choice.
- You have no idea where we are.
- Uh, yeah, I do.
- We have not done the circle yet.
We just went like this.
- Okay, I want-- I want to go-- Let's just go in the bat cave and go-- Yeah, let's go in the bat cave and go get this one again.
- Oh, you're so certain.
- Let's go.
- You're so certain.
- Yeah, let's go.
- It's hard being literally physically connected To somebody that you really just are not getting along with.
- No, I just want to prove you wrong.
- No, I don't care.
Let's go.
- Well, then obviously you're not that sure about it.
- Well, if you want to bitch around, let's go.
- As close as I was physically to steele, We were extremely disconnected.
- Tether.
Both: Where are you? - We have missed some tether somewhere along the way, And I'm just over it.
I just want it done.
- You ever tether ball as a kid? I don't know if you played tether ball.
I played tether ball.
I love tether ball.
- And then jason, he keeps talking and talking.
- It's just a ball at the end of a tether rope Tied to a pole.
- And I thought, okay, just stop talking.
All right, stop talking.
You talk too much, I talk too much.
- You realize That I'm not trying to upset you at all, right? - It just annoys me like I annoy you.
- No, you don't annoy me, honestly.
I don't get upset.
I don't get annoyed.
- Dude, shut up! - And she unloaded on me with the "shut up," And it was like, what's going on? Like, what adult Tells another person to shut up? She definitely has a mean streak in her.
- When I yelled out for him to shut--I don't know.
I was just done and ready for the finish line.
- Ah.
Ah.
Okay.
- Six.
- [laughs.]
- Do you see it or not? - No, but let's walk that way a little bit.
Maybe it's down there.
- Oh, I see it.
- Oh, [bleep.]
! It's the last one.
[bleep.]
.
On the fourth pass, we finally found it, and she was like, "well, we look like idiots," And I was like, "yeah, we really do at this point.
" - Seven.
- Seven? - I feel like-- - what? - Last time, they blended in with everything, basically.
- I just feel like it's, like, right here.
We probably looked like two dumb asses.
I mean, we were just lost in the sauce.
Um, is this it? Der! - Oh, good! [bleep.]
! - We continued to the finish line, But along the way, we found steele and vanessa.
- Yeah, baby! - Whoo! - Race it out, guys.
Come on.
- Whoa! - Stay on the trail.
Stay on the trail.
- Let's go! - Hurry up.
This is for an important position.
I'd hurry up.
- I was pumped when we finally crossed the finish line So we could get a step closer to getting out of these tethers.
- Steele, vanessa, you came in eighth.
Derek, jessica, last place.
Not guaranteed you're eliminated.
You're certainly not in a fantastic position, But we'll have to see what happens tomorrow At the couples' choice ceremony.
- I was nervous.
I don't want to go home, because I think That I still have connections That I need to make with people.
Stupid.
- Jared and dawn were in last place.
Now we're in last place and, you know, If history repeats itself, I'm gone.
- Coming up - I had a conversation with someone.
- Who do you have in mind? - Steele.
- And later - I just took my bags and moved out.
I can't remember the last time I was this annoyed.
- I don't know, but I'm getting really excited.
- I'm ready for a shower.
- I think this is it.
- Oh, yeah.
- Oh! - Whoo! - My god! - Walking into oasis, it's beautiful, And it's very romantic.
Oh, my god.
It was nice.
Are we, like, kind of dressing up for dinner? - I'll dress up, yes.
- There is a slight chance that something could happen Between adam and I.
I'm starving.
So tonight is gonna be a huge deciding factor for me.
- Me and erica did not get along at all during the adventure.
She was extremely negative.
She told me to shut up.
By the time we crossed the finish line, we realized We just need to get away from each other.
I already had the sneaking suspicion That you didn't like me.
- Ready? - Okay.
- I wanted to set up a picnic for my partner heather And show her that I am interested in her.
[laughs.]
- Oh, thank you.
I love surprises.
I'm so impressed.
I just feel like he really stepped it up.
- I was nervous as [bleep.]
.
- So do you normally drink wine or no? Never? - Only if it comes in a box.
- [laughs.]
- I just click with her, and we don't have Any of the awkward moments or anything like that, So it was--it was nice.
- So you've done this before? - Actually, I don't think I've ever had a picnic.
- Really? - Not since I was, like, 16.
- You get major points for this, I'll give you that.
- [laughs.]
- I'm a little nervous about what's gonna happen At the couples' choice ceremony tomorrow.
I want to be with miles because I feel like I'm definitely developing feelings for him.
- A lot less things annoy me with you Than with anyone else here.
That's about-- - oh, that's so sweet.
We just witnessed a beautiful moment.
Going into the couples' choice ceremony, We get to switch partners.
I'm not really sure yet what I'm gonna do.
- I honestly feel like I'm equivalent To, like, a wife beater with my words.
- For sure.
We have a love-hate relationship.
Very dysfunctional, somewhat abusive.
- Salut.
- Let's eat.
- I'm so excited right now.
So, what--like, what are your thoughts on kids? - Definitely want kids someday.
How about you? - [laughs.]
I don't-- I don't really want kids.
- Really? - I don't think that I would ever be Mature enough or ready for that.
I have a little yorkie that is my everything.
- I have a cat.
- I hate cats.
- You've always hated cats? - Like, I hate cats.
- He used to, like, bring home little chipmunks And, like, leave them on my doorstep for me.
[laughs.]
So he's always survived.
Kym is awesome.
She's definitely a girl I would date, And everything's going great.
Little by little, everything's been getting, Like, more intriguing about you.
Everything's getting better and better and better.
[birds singing.]
- After the adventure, I just wanted to completely remove myself From the situation with jason.
I can't remember the last time I was this annoyed With just one person.
So I just took my bags and moved out.
- How old are you? - 28.
- I just turned 25.
Don't I seem mature? - Yeah.
I mean, it's here, but yeah.
- Jess is currently paired up with peter.
I think that's on the outs.
- You're so bad at adventures.
- I actually rule at adventures.
- I know you don't mean to be.
- I think I've played the field, if you will, But I would love to find someone That's worth going through the long haul with.
- I'm gonna start saying things you're terrible at.
- Oh, really? - Yeah.
Like hammocking.
You suck.
Like, look, what is this? I mean, this is not a-- - You've obviously created a barrier.
- I agree.
[bleep.]
.
- Hey.
- Hey-o.
- The last adventure turned out to be Steele and I just not having a good time at all.
I know that I'm losing steele, And I don't know really why but it's starting to hurt.
So, hey, I think we need to talk a little bit To get rid of this awkwardness, do you think? Or no? - Uh, sure.
Yeah, we can talk it out.
- I just need to know what you want to do So I know what I should do.
- I think vanessa was trying to really force a relationship.
It kind of felt like, uh, we're about to get married After two days.
Here's the deal.
I'm probably gonna move on.
- Okay.
I do need to be vulnerable to find love, But I think that I was vulnerable here, And it backfired.
All right.
Thank you so much for being honest.
- Yep.
- I just don't like-- I don't like feeling like this.
I deserve to have someone to be with me.
I don't deserve to be alone.
- What happened with steele? - I had too much of a strong personality for him And was a little possessive and it didn't work out.
I was worrying that I was gonna be going home.
I was extremely loyal to steele.
I didn't talk to any other guy, So I kind of screwed myself in the sense that I didn't really know what to do next.
- Me and jess couldn't be any more done.
I'm on the mingle again.
I'm like, who else is out there? So I'm gonna go talk to vanessa.
I think we'll be a good team.
I think I've had, like, a good conversation with everyone.
- Yeah, everyone's just really chill and laid back.
I really like that.
Peter is not my first choice.
- There's a possibility it could all work out.
- Yeah.
But if it means that he's going to be able To choose me and give me the opportunity to stay, Then I'll stick it out with him.
- So I'm open to, like, doing an adventure or whatever.
- Yeah.
- I made an agreement with vanessa.
She wanted me to pick her, so I was like, "yeah.
No--no problem.
" - I enjoy your sense of humor.
There's some guys here, like, I can't do an adventure with them.
This is a relief because I'm not going home.
I have an opportunity to meet someone else And hopefully find love and this is my opportunity to do that.
- I slept by the pool last night, and honestly, It's the best I've slept since I've been here.
Just the birds were really loud.
It just really brought me back to why I'm here.
I mean, I'm here for love.
Meanwhile, I am just enjoying the surroundings And if I can't share that with somebody else, Then at least I'm gonna enjoy it.
- No.
- Morning.
What are you thinking? What are you feeling? What's going on? [laughs.]
- That's what I'm thinking.
Things are really good with mike and I.
The romance is getting better and better every day, And our connection emotionally is getting Better and better every day.
Waking up with him in my cabin Is exactly where I want to be.
- Morning.
- How's breakfast? You have it already? - Yeah, it's good.
You're like the last person to eat.
We saved you, like, some egg scraps.
Last night I made an agreement with vanessa But I really like erica.
You know, just face it.
She's hot as she can be.
I was feeling really patriotic When I saw the cereal this morning.
- [laughs.]
it might as well have been red, white, and blue.
- But I kept a cultural theme with-- - All right, with papaya.
- Some really fresh papaya.
- With peter, there might be potential there.
We would have a blast together and tons of laughs.
Any tricks to how to pick up pap-- - Yeah, let me help you with that.
- You scoop, huh? - Yeah.
- [laughs.]
- We seem to just have, like, a good chemistry, So at this point, it's either between Vanessa, who I have an agreement with, Or erica, so I have to figure out what I'm gonna do.
Let me help you with that.
I'm a natural.
I've been here.
I've done this before.
- Here.
- Adam and I had to get ready in the morning To head out to our reward, Which was an amazing helicopter ride.
- Ready? Let's go.
- I was super nervous, 'cause I've never been in one before.
It was beautiful.
Absolutely breathtaking.
- All of a sudden, we noticed there's a table for two Arranged like a lovely picnic on this mountain.
Careful, careful.
There we go.
[both laugh.]
- This is crazy.
This is the epitome of all dates.
Cheers.
- Cheers.
Ah.
I'm not used to eating this little.
I usually eat, like, six to eight times a day.
I have to know exactly what I'm eating, like, So I can know the calories.
- All he really talks about is his body, So that was a little hard for me.
I had to get through the rest of the day Without kind of ripping my hair out.
- So I definitely think we should talk about, Like, the elimination tonight, I mean, as far as, like, me and you.
- Mm-hmm.
- I like what's going on with us.
- If it was just like the adventure portion, We'd be great together, but I had a conversation With someone, like, a couple nights ago, And I feel as though I really need to give that person, Like, a little bit of time.
- Who do you have in mind? - Steele.
Like, if things don't work out with steele and I, Like, I really haven't connected with anyone else.
- Yeah.
So, how-- - so then I'm s.
O.
L.
[both laugh.]
- I wouldn't say that, 'cau I probably Would be willing to team up with you again.
- Yeah.
- But, uh-- - I mean, it has to be For the right reasons, though.
It's about the connection first And then the adventure.
- Yeah.
- So, I don't know.
I'd, like, I'd have to think about that.
- I firmly believe that you don't know What you've got until it's gone.
- Okay.
- But, uh, we'll take it one adventure at a time, And we'll see what's up.
Um - Do you feel, like, a connection With anybody here? - Yeah.
The one person I sincerely want to get to know is erica.
- You gotta lay it on, dude.
You gotta tell her that.
- I basically have no idea what's gonna happen Going into the couples' choice.
I made an agreement with vanessa But really, I have my eye on erica.
- You gotta take a chance, bro.
Put your heart out there and just say, [bleep.]
it.
- So the couples' choice ceremony is tonight.
[ barks .]
You know, everybody is a little concerned.
Kiss it for luck.
- My first choice would be to stay with heather.
Things have progressed and I think we have good chemistry.
I kind of like this girl a little bit, you know? And I didn't expect this to happen at all.
Dude, that looks good.
I just want to see the other one.
- What should I wear tonight? - Oh, I really like the blue one.
- You're so right.
I like that.
I'm kind of irritated at the fact That kym was gonna go for steele.
I mean, I can't believe that she even wants to try another guy.
I've got the free pass.
I can select anyone I want, And I don't have to worry about being eliminated, So this is really gonna be a big decision.
- I'm kind of stuck.
I have an agreement with vanessa To go into the next adventure.
But I really like erica, So I have to figure out what I'm gonna do.
- Welcome, guys.
Come on in.
Take a seat.
Adam and kym, we'll grab you down the front.
Welcome to your second couples' choice ceremony.
I'm gonna bring you up one couple at a time In the order that you finished the adventure, And at that point, u'll both have the option To either stay with your partner Or switcfor mebody else.
Kym and adam, because you came first, You'll actually have a guarteed switch, Which means if you invite anybody to be your partner, They can'tefuse you.
For the rest of you guys, as you know, that's not the case.
You can be refused, and you are, You'll have to step aside and hopefully wait For somebody else to pick you.
We'll go through the whole procs of pairing up Until we have one man and one woman left And unfortunately, they're the couple going home tonight.
So, adam and kym, come on down.
Congratulations on coming first.
You enjoyed the oasis for the first time.
How was that? - It was beautiful.
You--you can't really describe it.
You have to experience it yourself.
- Yeah.
- At our last couples' choic We gave the guy the option to choose first.
This time we're going to give the girl the option To choose first.
Remember because you won the adventure, You cannot be refused.
So, kym, it's on you.
Plenty of nice guys out there.
Would you like to switch and share a cabin With one of them tonight, Or would you like to stay with adam And see where that takes you? - I am going to switch.
- Wow.
Adam, how do you feel about that? - We're gonna get a chance to know some other people, And if we just so happen not to get that feeling With anybody else, we're gonna see if, uh, We can spark it back up.
- I take it, if you've decided to switch, You maybe have an idea Of somebody you'd like to switch with.
- I'm going to ask, um, steele.
- Steele, come on over.
Give him a hug and you can make your way Over to the couples' area.
- That's what I'm talking about.
- [laughs.]
- There you go.
Steele, how do you feel about that? - Oh, I'm ecstatic.
Pumped, man.
[laughter.]
- So, adam, you'd like to maybe explore Some other things while you have the option Of the guaranteed switch? - That's right.
- Who is it that you would like to ask to join you? - Well, I want to tell heather I'd like to pair up with her.
- Heather, come on over.
Give each other a hug.
Miles, how do you feel about that? Are you worried at this stage? - I've been worried all day, So nervous, a little scared.
- And how do you feel about heather spending a night With another man in a cabin? - Let the best man win, huh? [laughter.]
- Okay, we have jess and peter coming in second place, So come on over.
Hello.
- Hi.
- Hey there.
- Tonight, jess, you're up first.
When you think you know if you want to stay or switch, Let me know.
- I know at this point that I'm ready to switch.
- Peter, how do you feel about that? - Um, I'm also ready to switch.
- Even though you came second, You didn't feel that the chemistry was quite there? - No.
- Okay.
- Jess, anyone out there that you have a bit of a bond with That you'd like to ask to be your partner? - Uh, yeah.
Derek, would you like to be my partner? - Yes, absolutely.
I think, uh, I think we'd have a great time.
- All right.
Come on over.
Give each other a hug, And you can step into the couples' area.
- All right.
- Over to you, peter.
You don't have a guaranteed switch, So anybody you ask could say no, Which would put you in the unmatched area And leave you vulnerable.
- Yeah.
- Do you feel that you had a connection with someone? - Oh, yeah, I mean, at this point, I just want to chill out and have some fun.
So, uh, the funnest girl I know here is erica.
- Erica, have you talked much to peter at all? - I have.
It's been great conversation.
It's been fun.
I love his sense of humor.
Um, but I don't think I can say yes.
- Wow.
Why's that? - I think I really learned this week That I've got to have a stronger connection with somebody To even stay around here.
- Okay, well, I'm sorry to say, peter, That was a no, so that means you'll have to step Into our unmatched area, and that'll mean You'll have to hope somebody else picks you.
Otherwise, there's a chance you'll go home tonight.
All right, so we have three couples moving forward Into our next adventure.
We have peter in the unmatched area, But still available to be picked by any one of you ladies.
And next in the adventure was brandee and ben.
Come on over, guys.
How are you, brandee.
- I'm great.
- How are you doing, ben? - Wonderful.
- Have you been getting along well? - Yeah, we get along well, off and on, but-- - We banter a lot.
- A bit of fiery flirtation Is great in a relationship sometimes.
- Yeah, for sure.
- As you know, brandee, the choice is over to you.
You can either elect to stay Or you can pick from the rest of the guys Or of course peter in the unmatched area Is also available.
- I'm gonna stick it out with ben.
- All right.
- Stick it out.
- Stick it out, yeah.
[lauter.]
- It's painful.
Yeah.
- It is.
- That sounded like whole, "it was the best of a bad bunch" kind of scenario.
- I want to give it another shot.
I don't know.
I want to see if wean get it right next time.
- So, ben, over to you.
Obviously you don't have to stay with brandee Just because she wants to.
You could switch it up thchoice is yours.
- I definitely think there's still some girls here I'd like to get to know, But I guess I'll stick it out with brandee for now.
- Looking forward to seeing what happens, guys.
Congratulations.
You can join the rest of our couples in the couples' area.
Theresa, skip, come on over.
How are you doing, skip? - Hey.
- You always look so calm.
- I'm always relaxed.
Nothing bothers me.
- Um, theresa, as you know, It is your choice, So you can either stay with skip And see where this goes Or if you'd like to switch it up And take one of the three remaining men over here, - There's a lot of great guys here, But I am gonna go ahead and stay with skip.
- So things working well? - Yes.
- Obviously skip has to feel the same way.
Skip, you still have Four absolutely gorgeous ladies over there.
- I think I'm gonna stick with there.
- Well, good news is, you're coupled up For our next adventure.
All the best.
Okay.
Five couples going into our next adventure.
And we have peter over in the unmatched area, Single and ready to mine.
Come on over, guys.
A and mike, Samantha, as you know, it's your decision.
You can either choose to stay with mike Or, of course, you can switch it up.
- I think that what mike and I have going on Is something that I want to continue, So I'm gonna stay with him.
- Brilliant.
Mike, perhaps you have your eye On one of the three girls over there? - Uh, three great girls out there.
Um, all of 'em.
Good luck out there.
I'm gonna stick with samantha.
- Give her a hug.
Fantastic.
Erica and jason, come on over.
Erica, the big question.
Would you like to stay with jason Or would you like to switch to miles? You've turned peter down but maybe you've changed your mind And you'd like to go with him.
- I think I'm gonna take the chance and ask miles.
- Okay, so miles, if you were to say no, Erica would be joining peter over there.
Or you had a bit of a connection that you'd like to explore.
- I'll say yes.
- Okay.
Brilliant.
Good to see.
Come on over and give her a hug.
And you can move over to the couples' area.
Congratulations.
You live to fight another day, miles.
- You got it.
- Jason, you are in a very powerful position here And also a vulnerable one.
We now are down to our final four.
We have, of course, yourself, peter, vanessa, and jessica.
So the choice is with you.
If you pick either vanessa or jessica And they say yes, you're our final couple going through And the other two go home.
But if the person you ask says no, Then you will be joining peter in the unmatched area And vanessa will have her pick.
Massive stakes here because you could be sending somebody home.
- I think both of them are absolutely awesome women And I'd like to get to know both of them better.
Uh, but I choose jessica.
- Jessica.
So, uh, it's over to you now.
You could say no, in which case Jason would be over in the unmatched area And vulnerable for elimination.
Or perhaps you feel there's a connection there That you'd like to explore.
And if you say yes, vanessa and peter go home.
- I will explore.
- You want to say yes.
- [laughs.]
- Come on over.
Brilliant.
Give him a hug.
And you are our final couple going through, So you can join the rest of our couples In the couples' area.
Well done.
Vanessa, peter, unfortunately, That means that you are the final two standing, So you will be going home.
Vanessa, can I just ask, at that point Where peter did ask erica, Had he asked you, do you think that you would have said yes? - He did ask me, and I said yes.
And he gave me his word that he was going to choose me, so-- - Oh.
- Yeah.
- What happened there, peter? - Yeah, I definitely owe her a big apology.
A lot of last-minute flip-flopping.
I had to go with what I felt like was an opportunity That I might not have again.
- Well, I'm sorry that you didn't find love in the wild.
And unfortunately, it's time to leave.
So I'm gonna have to ask you to take off your bracelets And leave 'em in the bowl and say good-bye.
- Bye, guys.
- Bye.
- Good luck.
- See ya, pete.
- I made a really stupid mistake.
I made an agreement with vanessa That I would pick her, but I put myself out there For a chance with erica and it didn't work out, And, you know, I get sent to the dog pile.
It sucks.
I just don't fit the mold Of what all these girls are looking for.
- I think in the very, very beginning, Steele and I got along great.
But I know that I came on too strong And because of that, it hurt me.
So I did have a chance at going to another adventure with peter, And then, just like that, it was gone Because this idiot decided to choose someone Who wasn't going to choose him.
But the hope I'm gonna take away from this Is that I have a lot of things going for me And I'm a good person, And I know that I'm not gonna be alone For that much longer.
Well, some might call it the wildest first date ever.
- Those are ants! Oh! - Sam and mike hit it off.
They smooched and they smooched.
And they smooched some more.
- I could get used to that.
- And eventually they stopped smooching Just long enough to come in first.
- Yes! - So it was off to the lap of luxury At the oasis.
- We're in the world's coolest tree house.
- Dawn and jared didn't fare so well.
Their shoddy raft fell apart In crocodile-infested waters.
- Get your [.]
together.
Let's do this.
- They survived but came in last.
- [groans.]
- However, they were not eliminated.
You'll find out more about that tomorrow.
They joined the other couples staying in their own cabins.
- There's only one bed.
Now I'm forced to sleep with a hot chick.
That really sucks.
- Later that night, ben managed to annoy all of the women - Yeah, and the boss lady is taking charge.
- Except for brandee.
- That's why we're gonna fight later on.
- I'm not scared to fight.
- [laughs.]
- And vanessa couldn't keep her paws off steele.
- Mm-hmm.
- But look at thatace.
Can you blamher? - This is my man, And no one better uch.
- At the couples' chce ceremony, Everyone had the chance to switch partners And almost everyone did, Except for sam and mike and steele and vanessa.
- I'm gonna stay with steele.
- And when it was over, no one switched With last place dawn and jared.
- Remove your bracelets.
So they were eliminated.
- Good luck, everyone.
- Tonight, the remaining nine couples will compete In a brand new adventure.
- Oh, my goodness.
There are bats.
Aah! - Some relationships will reach new heights.
- Oh, my god.
- And others will hit rock bottom.
- Let's go.
No, I just want to prove you wrong.
- As love in the wild begins right now.
- Oh! - After the first couples' choice ceremony, Where we could choose to stay together Or switch things up, The couples that split up packed up their things To switch cabins.
I think the majority of us just still wanted to look around To find a "love connection.
" - All right, I'm gonna go move into my new home.
- Good luck.
- I'll see ya.
- Who knows what may happen along this road.
I didn't get along with heather at all.
It takes a special kind of person To really like me long-term.
Some people would say I'm the nicest guy ever, And some girls would probably say I was the biggest dick they've ever met.
- This crazy adventure.
I was ready to make a switch, And I'm really excited to move forward and move on to miles.
All right.
- This is it.
- I was a little nervous because I have a little crush on him And I can't help but feel a little scared.
Were you surprised when I picked you? - Actually I was hoping you would.
- Really? - Yeah.
When heather picked me, I felt pretty good about it Because I think she's really sweet.
I mean, she looks good in a bikini, So that's a plus.
- Honestly, I'm surprised at the couples That came out of tonight.
Miles leaving me for heather, I was so shocked.
It bruises your ego, but it opens doors.
I picked jason to do the next adventure with.
I think he's super sweet.
I don't know.
I feel like I want to get to know him more.
You might actually have more stuff than me.
That's asome.
My new partner is erica, And I'm pretty stoked.
By f, I think She's one of the most autiful gis here.
- [laus.]
- This is not like the oasis.
- I'm about to take up l the closet space.
You better hurry.
- It's been tough for me to find somebody special Because I started, you know, a new business.
It's been a very tough real estate market, So I put all my energy into that.
But it feels like it's time for me To get serious about looking And sam could be the one for me.
- I think steele and I are the best-matched couple.
He's your tall, dark, and handsome person That, you know, every girl dreams of.
I do want to have children.
I want to hopefully have two boys and a girl, Just like that.
And it would be great to have that With someone like steele, I think.
- After the couples' choice, I ended up sticking with vanessa, But there's other girls here I want to meet And I'm gonna start, you know, Talking to other women a little bit.
They fall.
- [laughs.]
- I feel like I'd really be interested In getting to know steele Because he has a great personality And he's got a cool sense of humor.
[laughs.]
But I feel as though he's locked up.
[laughter.]
- Coming up If you do fall to your death, You'll die together as a couple.
- Oh! - Dude, shut up! - Like, what adult tells another person to shut up? - And later - Oh, thank you.
- I love surprises.
- I was nervous as [bleep.]
.
- He really stepped it up.
- All right, guys, welcome to your next adventure.
How are you all feeling? - Good.
- Now, you guys came here with the hope of falling in love, But falling is the last thing you want to do On this adventure.
I've brought you to a maze of bridges That hang high over the jungle floor.
It's an intricate series of paths Incredibly easy to get lost on, And you won't have a map.
The good news is, if you do fall Hundreds of feet to your death, You'll die together as a couple, 'cause you'll be attached to each other With these tethers.
There are six in total that you'll have to collect.
They're hidden within the maze, And you'll have to strap each one to yourselves Before you continue on, And you must remain attached For the entirety of this adventure.
Being literally connected like this Will test you and your partner's trust in each other.
The first couple to cross the finish line With all six tethers still attached Will win a night of total luxury At the oasis, And you'll be safe from elimination.
Okay, guys, on my mark, You can take off in either direction.
But first of all, You're going to need to get your first tether, Which are located in the trees behind you now.
Some are a lot harder to find than others.
Are you ready to do this? - Yeah! - Okay.
3, 2, 1, vamoose.
- See anything? Steele, do you see one yet? - No.
- Is that one? Yeah.
- I care very strongly for mike.
He has a lot of the characteristics That I look for in a partner, And every adventure, I learn more about him.
- Whoa.
- [bleep.]
.
- Down.
Ready? - Perfect.
Just clip ion right away.
Right off the bat, adam and I, We worked well together.
I feelike he's someone That I could potentially have a connection with.
- See anything? I can't seanything.
- I know.
- Once the race began, me and brandee Were like two little lost puppy dogs.
[bleep.]
!Randee, look.
- I'm looking.
- I'm gettg mad at her already.
I'm like, are you looking or what? - Oh, right here.
Ben.
- You see one? - Yeah.
- One of the things that I'm most interested in seeing Is how she's gonna react to me and my competitive nature.
This is so stupid.
- Ben gets frurated really easily, So we did not have a good start.
- I mean, we are high up he.
- I just don't think about it.
I don't look down.
- Some of the bridges are hundreds of feet, uh, Above the ground.
Being that I am scared of heights, I am going nuts.
- I'd do it.
- You'd jump on a tree right here? - Yes.
- Good god.
- I'm always the kind of person that wants to go, guns blazing, And sometimes, it might be a little too intense For, you know, the person that I'm with.
- How aryou doing? - I'm doing great.
How are you doing? - Good, good.
Doing good, doing good.
We're doing good - This is great.
I've got somebody who's positive right now.
I believe that me and kym have a good vibe going.
I mean, she's a boston girl.
She's from my home town.
The more and more I get to know her, The more and more I like her.
Hey, look.
- What? Oh! Oh, my gosh! - I just saved our ass.
- Seriously.
You rock.
- Dude.
- Hell yeah.
- If you go on that side of me, Like, look how much-- - slack we have right now.
- Yeah.
Nothing.
Being connected to jason is a little bit frustrating.
He keeps bumping into me.
- Okay.
- Dude.
- Here, let me get on this side.
Well, you keep standing on over here.
Erica started snapping at me immediately.
- [groans.]
dude, my ankles, I need 'em.
- I'm a man of a lot of patience, But I just didn't get why she was doing it.
- Oh, this stupid tether.
- "beware of bats"? - Oh, my goodness.
[squeaking.]
Oh, my goodness.
There are bats.
Aah! - Holy [bleep.]
.
The bats were not pleasant.
I was not happy to be in there.
Ooh.
Whoa! - Look for a tether.
Hey.
Oh, my god, that is the first time I've seen a bat that close before.
- Oh! - Let's go, come on.
- There are just bats flying at your face And they're pooping as they're flying by.
Oh, god.
- We saw one of the other couples That hiked on the same way, And they had another tether.
No, where was it, steele.
Come on.
- Oh, my god.
Don't say anything.
- It's in the tunnel, dude.
- It was in the bat c--? We didn't look in the [bleep.]
bat cave.
I'm pretty aggravated at this point.
Why didn't you look around? - I told you, "I bet there's one in here.
" - Well, why didn't you look? - You're driving me nuts.
My first impression of ben was that he's a jerk.
Just his reactions being so disproportionate To what's actually just happened.
- How many you guys got? - Three.
- [bleep.]
.
Let's go this way.
- We're gonna go this way.
- But they came from that way and they have two.
Wait, three.
- Well, let's go.
We're gonna have to go every way as it is.
We started bickering quite a bit.
I'm a pretty easy guy to get along with, But it's getting a little bit annoying.
- All I know is we're not gonna get the two that they have.
- Oh, my goodness.
Nervous nelly over here.
- I don't know what was really going on.
It really felt like I was looking at dr.
Jekyll And mrs.
Hyde.
He was extremely different Than the person that I liked.
- One of the challenges was, you have to go across A bridge that looked so beaten up.
There's holes, there's cracked boards.
It was-- it was terrifying.
- Oh! - Okay, that doesn't blend in or anything.
We picked up a tether And I had so much anxiety going through me, I can't even explain it.
Yeah, yeah, I'm just--okay.
Not liking the height.
- Derek was a little panicked, And I wasn't expecting that.
If you act like a girl, I probably want nothing to do with you.
- We are high up here.
[bleep.]
this.
- All right, over.
[wood snaps.]
- Oh! [bleep.]
! - Oh! [bleep.]
! The next thing I know, I'm suspended in the air.
It was--it was terrifying.
[bleep.]
! [bleep.]
! - Come on.
- Sweetie, you gotta slow down, dude.
- Sorry.
I just pulled you back up.
- Just give me a second.
- He was a little mortified after that, I think.
- I'm worried about falling through that crack.
- That is definitely the opposite of my type.
- Oh, no! Look! - What? - There's bats in there.
- Aw, come on.
You ready? Let's just go.
- We're gonna go.
Go.
1, 2, 3.
Oh! No, get out! Get out! In the bat cave, I kind of had a blond moment, Even though I'm a brunette.
Do you think we missed a rope in the bat cave? 'cause I wasn't looking.
- I wasn't either, really.
Let's go.
We thought there was a tether in the bat cave And we missed it.
We've got to turn around and go back.
- Oh, man.
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
I think I'm afraid of heights.
[both laugh.]
- I love surfing, so I'm in my element in the adventures.
So I was, like, worried we weren't the best match.
I think I'm just gonna sleep out here tonight.
- You're on your own.
- I think your left butt is heavier than your right butt.
[both laugh.]
We had missed one of the tethers in the bat cave.
We had to backtrack all the way back.
- Here.
I got it.
That actually is a nice view.
- Oh, yeah.
- We're so [bleep.]
good, we stop and look at the views.
- I like skip.
We're two mellow people, And I think it's going really well.
- I'm all brawn, no brains.
- Well, I got the brains.
I'm smarter than I look.
- An ideal relationship for me Is a girl that I have to keep up with a little bit And keep me on my toes.
It has to be a lot of laughs.
And so far, those are things that theresa has.
- There's the short one.
Oh, great.
- On the rickety bridge, the tether that we found, It was so short, So you have to be connected to your partner In a really close range.
Oh, my god.
Look at that big one up ahead.
I thought, I don't know if I can do this.
Like, this is freaking me out.
- Just walk on the side.
Here.
Now I'll be right behind you like this.
- Thankfully, miles was like, we'll do this.
Like, I felt like he was really supportive through that, And it's a really attractive quality.
- I'm right behind you.
- Okay.
- So you move and I'll move when you move, okay? - Okay.
- Go for it.
- Okay.
- If you care about a person, Then you definitely want to help 'em out And try and pick 'em up a little bit.
- Whew! The bridge of death.
- [sighs.]
- Can I jump now? - No! No! - Yeah! - Don't, please.
- It's okay.
- He starts jumping up and down on the bridge And wobbling it around, And I'm totally afraid of heights.
Just stop.
- [laughs.]
- Dude! - Dude, I totally got you through the other bridge, So let me enjoy this one.
I couldn't believe how seriously she was taking everything.
Like, you're freaking out 'cause I'm just having A little good time.
- I just asked you to stop, like, 15 times.
Would you please stop? I see it as very immature And not someone that I want to spend Any more time with.
- A tail.
That's six, right? Count 'em.
- This is awesome.
- We just fished all six.
- Six.
We're on our way to the finish line.
Hopefully it's coming close.
- Team boston.
- Come on up.
Welcome.
How'd you think it went? - Really awesome.
- Good team.
- I couldn't ask for a better teammate.
- Well, you came first.
- [laughs.]
- [screams.]
- Congratulations, guys.
- I told you.
- You're off to the oasis To get a little bit of pampering.
Also, 'cause I'm such a nice guy, Just as a bit of a bonus, we're gonna whisk you away Tomorrow in a helicopter And you'll be dropped off for a five-star lunch With some of the most breathtaking views on earth.
- What? I didn't expect to win that at all.
It was, like, a great feeling.
We're first.
- Yeah.
- How are you doing? - Great.
- Good.
Ready to be untied.
- You came second.
- I didn't know we were second, though, that's all.
- How are you doing? You guys came third.
- Sweet.
- Not so bad.
Hey, welcome.
A little menage a quatre going on here, huh? You're fourth, which means you're fifth.
I'll see you tomorrow at the couples' choice.
- You have no idea where we are.
- Uh, yeah, I do.
- We have not done the circle yet.
We just went like this.
- Okay, I want-- I want to go-- Let's just go in the bat cave and go-- Yeah, let's go in the bat cave and go get this one again.
- Oh, you're so certain.
- Let's go.
- You're so certain.
- Yeah, let's go.
- It's hard being literally physically connected To somebody that you really just are not getting along with.
- No, I just want to prove you wrong.
- No, I don't care.
Let's go.
- Well, then obviously you're not that sure about it.
- Well, if you want to bitch around, let's go.
- As close as I was physically to steele, We were extremely disconnected.
- Tether.
Both: Where are you? - We have missed some tether somewhere along the way, And I'm just over it.
I just want it done.
- You ever tether ball as a kid? I don't know if you played tether ball.
I played tether ball.
I love tether ball.
- And then jason, he keeps talking and talking.
- It's just a ball at the end of a tether rope Tied to a pole.
- And I thought, okay, just stop talking.
All right, stop talking.
You talk too much, I talk too much.
- You realize That I'm not trying to upset you at all, right? - It just annoys me like I annoy you.
- No, you don't annoy me, honestly.
I don't get upset.
I don't get annoyed.
- Dude, shut up! - And she unloaded on me with the "shut up," And it was like, what's going on? Like, what adult Tells another person to shut up? She definitely has a mean streak in her.
- When I yelled out for him to shut--I don't know.
I was just done and ready for the finish line.
- Ah.
Ah.
Okay.
- Six.
- [laughs.]
- Do you see it or not? - No, but let's walk that way a little bit.
Maybe it's down there.
- Oh, I see it.
- Oh, [bleep.]
! It's the last one.
[bleep.]
.
On the fourth pass, we finally found it, and she was like, "well, we look like idiots," And I was like, "yeah, we really do at this point.
" - Seven.
- Seven? - I feel like-- - what? - Last time, they blended in with everything, basically.
- I just feel like it's, like, right here.
We probably looked like two dumb asses.
I mean, we were just lost in the sauce.
Um, is this it? Der! - Oh, good! [bleep.]
! - We continued to the finish line, But along the way, we found steele and vanessa.
- Yeah, baby! - Whoo! - Race it out, guys.
Come on.
- Whoa! - Stay on the trail.
Stay on the trail.
- Let's go! - Hurry up.
This is for an important position.
I'd hurry up.
- I was pumped when we finally crossed the finish line So we could get a step closer to getting out of these tethers.
- Steele, vanessa, you came in eighth.
Derek, jessica, last place.
Not guaranteed you're eliminated.
You're certainly not in a fantastic position, But we'll have to see what happens tomorrow At the couples' choice ceremony.
- I was nervous.
I don't want to go home, because I think That I still have connections That I need to make with people.
Stupid.
- Jared and dawn were in last place.
Now we're in last place and, you know, If history repeats itself, I'm gone.
- Coming up - I had a conversation with someone.
- Who do you have in mind? - Steele.
- And later - I just took my bags and moved out.
I can't remember the last time I was this annoyed.
- I don't know, but I'm getting really excited.
- I'm ready for a shower.
- I think this is it.
- Oh, yeah.
- Oh! - Whoo! - My god! - Walking into oasis, it's beautiful, And it's very romantic.
Oh, my god.
It was nice.
Are we, like, kind of dressing up for dinner? - I'll dress up, yes.
- There is a slight chance that something could happen Between adam and I.
I'm starving.
So tonight is gonna be a huge deciding factor for me.
- Me and erica did not get along at all during the adventure.
She was extremely negative.
She told me to shut up.
By the time we crossed the finish line, we realized We just need to get away from each other.
I already had the sneaking suspicion That you didn't like me.
- Ready? - Okay.
- I wanted to set up a picnic for my partner heather And show her that I am interested in her.
[laughs.]
- Oh, thank you.
I love surprises.
I'm so impressed.
I just feel like he really stepped it up.
- I was nervous as [bleep.]
.
- So do you normally drink wine or no? Never? - Only if it comes in a box.
- [laughs.]
- I just click with her, and we don't have Any of the awkward moments or anything like that, So it was--it was nice.
- So you've done this before? - Actually, I don't think I've ever had a picnic.
- Really? - Not since I was, like, 16.
- You get major points for this, I'll give you that.
- [laughs.]
- I'm a little nervous about what's gonna happen At the couples' choice ceremony tomorrow.
I want to be with miles because I feel like I'm definitely developing feelings for him.
- A lot less things annoy me with you Than with anyone else here.
That's about-- - oh, that's so sweet.
We just witnessed a beautiful moment.
Going into the couples' choice ceremony, We get to switch partners.
I'm not really sure yet what I'm gonna do.
- I honestly feel like I'm equivalent To, like, a wife beater with my words.
- For sure.
We have a love-hate relationship.
Very dysfunctional, somewhat abusive.
- Salut.
- Let's eat.
- I'm so excited right now.
So, what--like, what are your thoughts on kids? - Definitely want kids someday.
How about you? - [laughs.]
I don't-- I don't really want kids.
- Really? - I don't think that I would ever be Mature enough or ready for that.
I have a little yorkie that is my everything.
- I have a cat.
- I hate cats.
- You've always hated cats? - Like, I hate cats.
- He used to, like, bring home little chipmunks And, like, leave them on my doorstep for me.
[laughs.]
So he's always survived.
Kym is awesome.
She's definitely a girl I would date, And everything's going great.
Little by little, everything's been getting, Like, more intriguing about you.
Everything's getting better and better and better.
[birds singing.]
- After the adventure, I just wanted to completely remove myself From the situation with jason.
I can't remember the last time I was this annoyed With just one person.
So I just took my bags and moved out.
- How old are you? - 28.
- I just turned 25.
Don't I seem mature? - Yeah.
I mean, it's here, but yeah.
- Jess is currently paired up with peter.
I think that's on the outs.
- You're so bad at adventures.
- I actually rule at adventures.
- I know you don't mean to be.
- I think I've played the field, if you will, But I would love to find someone That's worth going through the long haul with.
- I'm gonna start saying things you're terrible at.
- Oh, really? - Yeah.
Like hammocking.
You suck.
Like, look, what is this? I mean, this is not a-- - You've obviously created a barrier.
- I agree.
[bleep.]
.
- Hey.
- Hey-o.
- The last adventure turned out to be Steele and I just not having a good time at all.
I know that I'm losing steele, And I don't know really why but it's starting to hurt.
So, hey, I think we need to talk a little bit To get rid of this awkwardness, do you think? Or no? - Uh, sure.
Yeah, we can talk it out.
- I just need to know what you want to do So I know what I should do.
- I think vanessa was trying to really force a relationship.
It kind of felt like, uh, we're about to get married After two days.
Here's the deal.
I'm probably gonna move on.
- Okay.
I do need to be vulnerable to find love, But I think that I was vulnerable here, And it backfired.
All right.
Thank you so much for being honest.
- Yep.
- I just don't like-- I don't like feeling like this.
I deserve to have someone to be with me.
I don't deserve to be alone.
- What happened with steele? - I had too much of a strong personality for him And was a little possessive and it didn't work out.
I was worrying that I was gonna be going home.
I was extremely loyal to steele.
I didn't talk to any other guy, So I kind of screwed myself in the sense that I didn't really know what to do next.
- Me and jess couldn't be any more done.
I'm on the mingle again.
I'm like, who else is out there? So I'm gonna go talk to vanessa.
I think we'll be a good team.
I think I've had, like, a good conversation with everyone.
- Yeah, everyone's just really chill and laid back.
I really like that.
Peter is not my first choice.
- There's a possibility it could all work out.
- Yeah.
But if it means that he's going to be able To choose me and give me the opportunity to stay, Then I'll stick it out with him.
- So I'm open to, like, doing an adventure or whatever.
- Yeah.
- I made an agreement with vanessa.
She wanted me to pick her, so I was like, "yeah.
No--no problem.
" - I enjoy your sense of humor.
There's some guys here, like, I can't do an adventure with them.
This is a relief because I'm not going home.
I have an opportunity to meet someone else And hopefully find love and this is my opportunity to do that.
- I slept by the pool last night, and honestly, It's the best I've slept since I've been here.
Just the birds were really loud.
It just really brought me back to why I'm here.
I mean, I'm here for love.
Meanwhile, I am just enjoying the surroundings And if I can't share that with somebody else, Then at least I'm gonna enjoy it.
- No.
- Morning.
What are you thinking? What are you feeling? What's going on? [laughs.]
- That's what I'm thinking.
Things are really good with mike and I.
The romance is getting better and better every day, And our connection emotionally is getting Better and better every day.
Waking up with him in my cabin Is exactly where I want to be.
- Morning.
- How's breakfast? You have it already? - Yeah, it's good.
You're like the last person to eat.
We saved you, like, some egg scraps.
Last night I made an agreement with vanessa But I really like erica.
You know, just face it.
She's hot as she can be.
I was feeling really patriotic When I saw the cereal this morning.
- [laughs.]
it might as well have been red, white, and blue.
- But I kept a cultural theme with-- - All right, with papaya.
- Some really fresh papaya.
- With peter, there might be potential there.
We would have a blast together and tons of laughs.
Any tricks to how to pick up pap-- - Yeah, let me help you with that.
- You scoop, huh? - Yeah.
- [laughs.]
- We seem to just have, like, a good chemistry, So at this point, it's either between Vanessa, who I have an agreement with, Or erica, so I have to figure out what I'm gonna do.
Let me help you with that.
I'm a natural.
I've been here.
I've done this before.
- Here.
- Adam and I had to get ready in the morning To head out to our reward, Which was an amazing helicopter ride.
- Ready? Let's go.
- I was super nervous, 'cause I've never been in one before.
It was beautiful.
Absolutely breathtaking.
- All of a sudden, we noticed there's a table for two Arranged like a lovely picnic on this mountain.
Careful, careful.
There we go.
[both laugh.]
- This is crazy.
This is the epitome of all dates.
Cheers.
- Cheers.
Ah.
I'm not used to eating this little.
I usually eat, like, six to eight times a day.
I have to know exactly what I'm eating, like, So I can know the calories.
- All he really talks about is his body, So that was a little hard for me.
I had to get through the rest of the day Without kind of ripping my hair out.
- So I definitely think we should talk about, Like, the elimination tonight, I mean, as far as, like, me and you.
- Mm-hmm.
- I like what's going on with us.
- If it was just like the adventure portion, We'd be great together, but I had a conversation With someone, like, a couple nights ago, And I feel as though I really need to give that person, Like, a little bit of time.
- Who do you have in mind? - Steele.
Like, if things don't work out with steele and I, Like, I really haven't connected with anyone else.
- Yeah.
So, how-- - so then I'm s.
O.
L.
[both laugh.]
- I wouldn't say that, 'cau I probably Would be willing to team up with you again.
- Yeah.
- But, uh-- - I mean, it has to be For the right reasons, though.
It's about the connection first And then the adventure.
- Yeah.
- So, I don't know.
I'd, like, I'd have to think about that.
- I firmly believe that you don't know What you've got until it's gone.
- Okay.
- But, uh, we'll take it one adventure at a time, And we'll see what's up.
Um - Do you feel, like, a connection With anybody here? - Yeah.
The one person I sincerely want to get to know is erica.
- You gotta lay it on, dude.
You gotta tell her that.
- I basically have no idea what's gonna happen Going into the couples' choice.
I made an agreement with vanessa But really, I have my eye on erica.
- You gotta take a chance, bro.
Put your heart out there and just say, [bleep.]
it.
- So the couples' choice ceremony is tonight.
[ barks .]
You know, everybody is a little concerned.
Kiss it for luck.
- My first choice would be to stay with heather.
Things have progressed and I think we have good chemistry.
I kind of like this girl a little bit, you know? And I didn't expect this to happen at all.
Dude, that looks good.
I just want to see the other one.
- What should I wear tonight? - Oh, I really like the blue one.
- You're so right.
I like that.
I'm kind of irritated at the fact That kym was gonna go for steele.
I mean, I can't believe that she even wants to try another guy.
I've got the free pass.
I can select anyone I want, And I don't have to worry about being eliminated, So this is really gonna be a big decision.
- I'm kind of stuck.
I have an agreement with vanessa To go into the next adventure.
But I really like erica, So I have to figure out what I'm gonna do.
- Welcome, guys.
Come on in.
Take a seat.
Adam and kym, we'll grab you down the front.
Welcome to your second couples' choice ceremony.
I'm gonna bring you up one couple at a time In the order that you finished the adventure, And at that point, u'll both have the option To either stay with your partner Or switcfor mebody else.
Kym and adam, because you came first, You'll actually have a guarteed switch, Which means if you invite anybody to be your partner, They can'tefuse you.
For the rest of you guys, as you know, that's not the case.
You can be refused, and you are, You'll have to step aside and hopefully wait For somebody else to pick you.
We'll go through the whole procs of pairing up Until we have one man and one woman left And unfortunately, they're the couple going home tonight.
So, adam and kym, come on down.
Congratulations on coming first.
You enjoyed the oasis for the first time.
How was that? - It was beautiful.
You--you can't really describe it.
You have to experience it yourself.
- Yeah.
- At our last couples' choic We gave the guy the option to choose first.
This time we're going to give the girl the option To choose first.
Remember because you won the adventure, You cannot be refused.
So, kym, it's on you.
Plenty of nice guys out there.
Would you like to switch and share a cabin With one of them tonight, Or would you like to stay with adam And see where that takes you? - I am going to switch.
- Wow.
Adam, how do you feel about that? - We're gonna get a chance to know some other people, And if we just so happen not to get that feeling With anybody else, we're gonna see if, uh, We can spark it back up.
- I take it, if you've decided to switch, You maybe have an idea Of somebody you'd like to switch with.
- I'm going to ask, um, steele.
- Steele, come on over.
Give him a hug and you can make your way Over to the couples' area.
- That's what I'm talking about.
- [laughs.]
- There you go.
Steele, how do you feel about that? - Oh, I'm ecstatic.
Pumped, man.
[laughter.]
- So, adam, you'd like to maybe explore Some other things while you have the option Of the guaranteed switch? - That's right.
- Who is it that you would like to ask to join you? - Well, I want to tell heather I'd like to pair up with her.
- Heather, come on over.
Give each other a hug.
Miles, how do you feel about that? Are you worried at this stage? - I've been worried all day, So nervous, a little scared.
- And how do you feel about heather spending a night With another man in a cabin? - Let the best man win, huh? [laughter.]
- Okay, we have jess and peter coming in second place, So come on over.
Hello.
- Hi.
- Hey there.
- Tonight, jess, you're up first.
When you think you know if you want to stay or switch, Let me know.
- I know at this point that I'm ready to switch.
- Peter, how do you feel about that? - Um, I'm also ready to switch.
- Even though you came second, You didn't feel that the chemistry was quite there? - No.
- Okay.
- Jess, anyone out there that you have a bit of a bond with That you'd like to ask to be your partner? - Uh, yeah.
Derek, would you like to be my partner? - Yes, absolutely.
I think, uh, I think we'd have a great time.
- All right.
Come on over.
Give each other a hug, And you can step into the couples' area.
- All right.
- Over to you, peter.
You don't have a guaranteed switch, So anybody you ask could say no, Which would put you in the unmatched area And leave you vulnerable.
- Yeah.
- Do you feel that you had a connection with someone? - Oh, yeah, I mean, at this point, I just want to chill out and have some fun.
So, uh, the funnest girl I know here is erica.
- Erica, have you talked much to peter at all? - I have.
It's been great conversation.
It's been fun.
I love his sense of humor.
Um, but I don't think I can say yes.
- Wow.
Why's that? - I think I really learned this week That I've got to have a stronger connection with somebody To even stay around here.
- Okay, well, I'm sorry to say, peter, That was a no, so that means you'll have to step Into our unmatched area, and that'll mean You'll have to hope somebody else picks you.
Otherwise, there's a chance you'll go home tonight.
All right, so we have three couples moving forward Into our next adventure.
We have peter in the unmatched area, But still available to be picked by any one of you ladies.
And next in the adventure was brandee and ben.
Come on over, guys.
How are you, brandee.
- I'm great.
- How are you doing, ben? - Wonderful.
- Have you been getting along well? - Yeah, we get along well, off and on, but-- - We banter a lot.
- A bit of fiery flirtation Is great in a relationship sometimes.
- Yeah, for sure.
- As you know, brandee, the choice is over to you.
You can either elect to stay Or you can pick from the rest of the guys Or of course peter in the unmatched area Is also available.
- I'm gonna stick it out with ben.
- All right.
- Stick it out.
- Stick it out, yeah.
[lauter.]
- It's painful.
Yeah.
- It is.
- That sounded like whole, "it was the best of a bad bunch" kind of scenario.
- I want to give it another shot.
I don't know.
I want to see if wean get it right next time.
- So, ben, over to you.
Obviously you don't have to stay with brandee Just because she wants to.
You could switch it up thchoice is yours.
- I definitely think there's still some girls here I'd like to get to know, But I guess I'll stick it out with brandee for now.
- Looking forward to seeing what happens, guys.
Congratulations.
You can join the rest of our couples in the couples' area.
Theresa, skip, come on over.
How are you doing, skip? - Hey.
- You always look so calm.
- I'm always relaxed.
Nothing bothers me.
- Um, theresa, as you know, It is your choice, So you can either stay with skip And see where this goes Or if you'd like to switch it up And take one of the three remaining men over here, - There's a lot of great guys here, But I am gonna go ahead and stay with skip.
- So things working well? - Yes.
- Obviously skip has to feel the same way.
Skip, you still have Four absolutely gorgeous ladies over there.
- I think I'm gonna stick with there.
- Well, good news is, you're coupled up For our next adventure.
All the best.
Okay.
Five couples going into our next adventure.
And we have peter over in the unmatched area, Single and ready to mine.
Come on over, guys.
A and mike, Samantha, as you know, it's your decision.
You can either choose to stay with mike Or, of course, you can switch it up.
- I think that what mike and I have going on Is something that I want to continue, So I'm gonna stay with him.
- Brilliant.
Mike, perhaps you have your eye On one of the three girls over there? - Uh, three great girls out there.
Um, all of 'em.
Good luck out there.
I'm gonna stick with samantha.
- Give her a hug.
Fantastic.
Erica and jason, come on over.
Erica, the big question.
Would you like to stay with jason Or would you like to switch to miles? You've turned peter down but maybe you've changed your mind And you'd like to go with him.
- I think I'm gonna take the chance and ask miles.
- Okay, so miles, if you were to say no, Erica would be joining peter over there.
Or you had a bit of a connection that you'd like to explore.
- I'll say yes.
- Okay.
Brilliant.
Good to see.
Come on over and give her a hug.
And you can move over to the couples' area.
Congratulations.
You live to fight another day, miles.
- You got it.
- Jason, you are in a very powerful position here And also a vulnerable one.
We now are down to our final four.
We have, of course, yourself, peter, vanessa, and jessica.
So the choice is with you.
If you pick either vanessa or jessica And they say yes, you're our final couple going through And the other two go home.
But if the person you ask says no, Then you will be joining peter in the unmatched area And vanessa will have her pick.
Massive stakes here because you could be sending somebody home.
- I think both of them are absolutely awesome women And I'd like to get to know both of them better.
Uh, but I choose jessica.
- Jessica.
So, uh, it's over to you now.
You could say no, in which case Jason would be over in the unmatched area And vulnerable for elimination.
Or perhaps you feel there's a connection there That you'd like to explore.
And if you say yes, vanessa and peter go home.
- I will explore.
- You want to say yes.
- [laughs.]
- Come on over.
Brilliant.
Give him a hug.
And you are our final couple going through, So you can join the rest of our couples In the couples' area.
Well done.
Vanessa, peter, unfortunately, That means that you are the final two standing, So you will be going home.
Vanessa, can I just ask, at that point Where peter did ask erica, Had he asked you, do you think that you would have said yes? - He did ask me, and I said yes.
And he gave me his word that he was going to choose me, so-- - Oh.
- Yeah.
- What happened there, peter? - Yeah, I definitely owe her a big apology.
A lot of last-minute flip-flopping.
I had to go with what I felt like was an opportunity That I might not have again.
- Well, I'm sorry that you didn't find love in the wild.
And unfortunately, it's time to leave.
So I'm gonna have to ask you to take off your bracelets And leave 'em in the bowl and say good-bye.
- Bye, guys.
- Bye.
- Good luck.
- See ya, pete.
- I made a really stupid mistake.
I made an agreement with vanessa That I would pick her, but I put myself out there For a chance with erica and it didn't work out, And, you know, I get sent to the dog pile.
It sucks.
I just don't fit the mold Of what all these girls are looking for.
- I think in the very, very beginning, Steele and I got along great.
But I know that I came on too strong And because of that, it hurt me.
So I did have a chance at going to another adventure with peter, And then, just like that, it was gone Because this idiot decided to choose someone Who wasn't going to choose him.
But the hope I'm gonna take away from this Is that I have a lot of things going for me And I'm a good person, And I know that I'm not gonna be alone For that much longer.
