Perfect Match (2023) s01e04 Episode Script

["Taking Back Control"
by Simon Diamond & Margot Maxine playing]
The world wants nothing to do with me ♪
Ask me, I'm dying ♪
Barely surviving… ♪
-[Dom] Have to go. I'm being called.
-[Savannah] No.
[Savannah sighs]
[Savannah] Typical.
-[Shayne] What's up?
-Hey.
[Anne-Sophie] Savannah.
-[Savannah] I was like, "Bitch, bye."
-[Ines] What's with Francesca?
Francesca tried to come at me sideways
'cause I had a conversation with Dom.
[Shayne] Oh boy.
Shayne, I had one conversation
with the man.
-One.
-[Shayne] Everyone's going crazy now.
[Savannah] She tried to tell me
my dignity was on the floor.
I was like, "Bitch, please."
My dignity is so far up your ass.
Pretty obvious she feels threatened by me,
and I'm very flattered.
I feel good that I'm a threat.
I'm here to find my perfect match,
and if that threatens you, then do better.
Give it up, give it up ♪
Taking back control ♪
I don't wanna let go ♪
You've gotta finally give it up ♪
Don't talk to her.
-[Dom] Hmm?
-Don't talk to her.
-Sorry?
-[Francesca] Don't be sorry. It's fine.
Anyone else but Savannah, please.
-Please don't go talk to her.
-No, I know. I'm just here.
-It's gonna look really bad…
-I'm just here.
-Okay.
-Do you trust me?
-I trust you.
-You know I'm not gonna do anything.
I thought you handled yourself well,
at least right here.
[Francesca] The fact that
two girls are going home,
there's definitely some girls here
that are sweating.
I don't think it's necessarily okay,
what Savannah's doing.
She had all week to connect with Nick,
and now she's trying to steal my man.
Sketchy.
-Thought you were having a drink with her.
-I was making my own 'cause I have Oreos.
-[Kariselle laughs]
-I have cookies. [laughs]
-[Francesca] Okay.
-I'm so impressed. [laughs]
Let's talk about you.
-I don't even know where Joey is.
-I think he's talking to Georgia.
-She's your friend.
-You can trust her.
-I don't think Joey's Georgia's type.
-You don't have to worry about that.
[Kariselle] But Joey probably thinks
he's killing it right now.
I know the gossip in the house.
I'm here for a reason.
You're the snitch.
-The Golden Snitch.
-I'm the snitch.
-People are crazy about you.
-Okay, I'm hoping that you're right.
I hope you're not coming in
in a bathing suit
and leaving in a bathing suit.
That would be very sad in a bathing suit.
No. We need to make this happen.
Tell me, out of all the guys,
who are you vibing with?
So… Nick, Chase, Shayne.
Okay.
If I could add one more…
Dom.
But I wouldn't add that one
'cause I love Francesca.
-I wouldn't do her like that.
-Okay.
Here's what I can tell you.
Out of all the people you just said?
Shayne. I love him. Ispan style="style2" love him.
I think you should give him a chance.
-Shayne?
-I do.
The only thing I'm thinking is, like,
I really clicked with Chase on my date.
[Joey] Chase is saying
that you could be his perfect match,
but I think that could change.
I think Shayne's a guy
who leads with his heart first.
If you were my friend,
that's the guy I would tell you to go for.
Always. He's a very good guy.
I know what you're saying,
but I'm also, like…
I don't have anything bad
to say about Chase.
[Anne-Sophie] Chase, Chase, Chase,
did you have a good date?
Yeah, I think the date went good.
I'm gonna be honest with you.
I was a little taken aback
when we were in the boardroom.
I was like, "Okay, hold on."
My thought was that,
"All right, we won a challenge."
-We had a nice date…
-A thousand percent.
…and I would have really imagined
that we would have built upon that.
So… but yeah.
[Anne-Sophie]
Two women will be going home tonight,
and it's a very tricky situation.
I honestly think you are
one of the most beautiful fucking souls
I've met in my life.
Thank you.
Like, you are--
Honestly, you welcomed me with open arms,
and you took me in
despite everything you've heard about me.
-There is--
-And that was a lot.
-There is… so much.
-I'm just kidding.
Like, you are just, like,
such a fucking good person.
Thank you. I've been told.
Do you think I'm your perfect match?
You know, I've been
enjoying our journey together.
I mean, I locked it in with you.
It's a big decision to make,
and I just feel like right now,
I'm in such a tough spot.
[ominous music playing]
I don't think that's entirely true.
[Chase] Tonight is matching night.
We have rooms,
and I need to invite a girl to my room.
I brought Georgia in here.
I took a big risk.
She's a smokeshow.
That girl, my type, my type, my type.
[Ann-Sophie]
I'm not in the business of chasing anyone.
I didn't get a fair chance
to find my perfect match
because I felt like
I got dropped in the middle of the mix.
Yeah. Understandable.
But if you feel like your connection
is stronger with whoever else,
I'm gonna be upset.
[Chase] Probably not
my proudest moment, but…
[tense music playing]
The night is quickly getting on,
and I'm sure you have
lots of conversations to be had.
So I don't wanna hold you up, Chase.
-[scoffs] Lady Best Kisser.
-[chuckles]
Yeah, so really sorry, Anne-Sophie.
I know you're not happy about it,
but I need you to understand
that this is
for the betterment of the group,
but, really, it's probably
just for the betterment of me.
I think I'm going to hell, boys.
[seductive music playing]
[Nick] What I'm dealing with right now
is that me and Ines
had an initial little spark on day one.
Like, hour one of day one.
She ended up with Shayne.
They've been together ever since.
Tonight, she has told me that…
-She apparently likes you properly.
-[Nick] Yeah.
And then we have you added to the mix.
[Izzy] Are you feeling more Ines, yeah?
[Nick] Full disclosure,
there's something there.
Like, we have a connection.
Like… [sighs]
Like, I'm being totally honest.
-But we also have a good connection.
-Mm.
So now I'm thinking more strategically.
Ines and I could match,
and if you match with someone else,
you're still in the house.
You mean with Shayne?
[Nick] Yeah.
[Izzy] I obviously wanna
get to know you now,
but if me and Shayne were together,
at least we're both here.
[Nick sighs]
Shall we go speak to them
and explain the situation?
-We're gonna go straight up.
-Oh my God, you're probably right.
[Izzy] I'm so right.
I'm definitely not happy
with Nick's decision.
When we went on the date,
he acted like he had no other connections
and made out he was gonna match with me.
It's not the best situation,
but it's the guys' choice tonight,
and I don't wanna leave the house.
Shayne, we get on so well, and it's fun.
I definitely wouldn't mind
if Shayne picked me tonight.
I do love a bit of a love triangle.
I'm not gonna lie.
[Shayne] What's going on?
[Izzy] From what me and Nick were saying,
we appreciate each other.
You guys have a thing.
-[Shayne] That's clear.
-[Izzy] Which is fine.
He wants to explore that with you,
and I'm the same with you.
Did I explain that very well?
[Shayne] Yeah, very well, yes.
Ines and I have had way more time
to get to know each other.
Izzy and I had a great date.
She's awesome.
I wanna get to know her. So I'd hate
to see either of them leave the house.
I'm okay with that.
[playful music]
It's so fucked up, actually. [laughs]
That's the oddest double date
I've ever experienced.
I'm excited to match with someone
who I've been interested in
since the beginning,
but he tells me
he want to get to know Izzy.
I don't know exactly what I'm feeling.
I cannot say for sure.
But one thing I know is, it is probably
the least romantic matching ever.
It's like…
Yeah, it was like…
a conference.
It was weird.
[Ines] I know you have
to talk to Savannah.
Yeah.
-Oh my God, I hate this.
-Nicholas.
Honestly,
I think Savannah would understand.
[Nick] Fuck.
Oh my God, I fucking hate this.
[bittersweet music playing]
Hey.
[Nick] Hi. Could we sit down?
Mm-hmm.
[Nick sighs]
[Savannah] How are you doing?
I just feel a lot of things.
Like what?
I'm gonna match with Ines.
Come on, you know she's gonna
leave you next week for someone else.
[Nick] There's so much going on.
What am I supposed to do, though, like…?
Everyone knows we're friends.
No one knows what we did last night.
And now you let me go out like this?
Mostly, I just wanna be with you.
[bittersweet music continuing]
I just, like…
I feel bad.
-For me?
-Yes.
Yeah. You should.
You don't care ♪
[Savannah] Just go.
Just go.
It feels like ♪
Like I just have closed the door ♪
Want me to be your match?
I was between two or three other people
but, yeah, I like you a little bit.
A little bit?
Like, that fucking much.
You give me anxiety, but I like you too.
-Jesus.
-[giggles]
-[Anne-Sophie] Bye, guys.
-[Kariselle] Bye!
Don't forget to put
your "Do Not Disturb" sign on.
No one's taking him. I'll fight them.
[Joey] I might have
to think twice about it.
I work too hard for this man.
Christ.
[Joey] I think Kariselle and I
are in a great place.
I am crazy about this girl,
but I'm trying to remind myself,
"Please, Joey, take it slow."
"All you do is think with your dick,
and your dick always gets you in trouble."
So I had to make the executive decision
to keep little Bruce in his pants.
It's not that time yet.
[Joey] I'm 100% taking a bath tonight,
and no one is stopping me.
[Kariselle laughs]
-Are we good?
-[Izzy] Yeah.
[Shayne] Shall we?
So, Izzy and Shayne are a thing now?
I guess.
[Georgia] It's a very weird vibe.
[groans]
-You're assuming.
-You don't wanna do that?
They always say,
"Don't touch the hot stove."
[laughs]
But I feel like
I always touch the hot stove anyway.
[both laughing]
[Georgia] Me too.
Should we touch the hot stove?
Georgia, she has so many
amazing qualities about her.
[Anne-Sophie] Bye, guys.
Enjoy your matches.
[Chase] I'm in here playing chess now,
but I'm gonna put all of that on pause
and explore with Georgia.
I feel like Georgia
could be my perfect match.
[giggles]
["Hooked" by Bianca Jade playing]
I've never seen a sky so blue… ♪
-Welcome to your home.
-Oh my God.
Could be a mistake ♪
Yeah.
Let's go.
My lord.
[Nick] Let's do it.
[Ines] Monsieur.
[Nick] Such a long day.
[Ines] It was a very, very long day.
[Anne-Sophie] Nice.
All right.
Nick put his "Do Not Disturb" sign on.
You got me hooked… ♪
Okay, let's go to bed.
…the way I breathe to you
You taking me in control ♪
The way I think
The way I feel for you ♪
[Francesca] Oh my God,
Savannah is going home.
[Francesca] Savannah's going home!
The snake in the house is going home.
Thank fucking God.
All is right in the world.
[sighs] I feel amazing.
-You had my back. I appreciate that.
-[Dom] I'm always gonna have your back.
-[Savannah] Should we go take a shot?
-What better way to end the night?
Yeah.
[Anne-Sophie] I did not know
that there was so much strategy involved
in finding a perfect romantic match.
Yeah, sure. Oh, smart girl.
If I could take it all back,
I would probably keep my match with Zay
and explore that further
before dumping him for Chase
because that was not a good move.
[giggling]
["Tell Me Goodbye" playing]
[Savannah] I think I was starting
to have genuine feelings for Nick.
[Savannah] I need to get my shit
and get the fuck out of here.
Coming into this, I didn't think time was
gonna be of the essence the way it was.
And I absolutely believe
Francesca was threatened by me.
I mean, she doesn't go after girls
she's not threatened by, so I'm flattered.
Thanks, Francesca.
How do I break this to you?
I gotta let you know ♪
[Ines] Do you wake up early usually?
[chuckling] No.
What's your sleeping pattern?
Are you a snorer?
Going to bed next to Ines,
I thought we were gonna have a great night
of kissing and talking and just laughter.
I'm just, like… it just hits me.
Now Shayne's gonna get
more time with Izzy.
I think I made the wrong choice.
You shall discover--
I think I'm going to just
fall right asleep tonight.
Now I find myself
In a whole lot of trouble ♪
I will walk away
If you tell me goodbye ♪
[grunts]
-Can I have a pillow?
-[laughs]
-This is all I get?
-Oh my God.
[upbeat music playing]
[Nick] Ines?
Last night we had the conversation
with me, you, Shayne, and Izzy.
I just feel like the vibes last night
were kind of, like, different.
Once we actually matched,
it didn't quite feel
how I thought it would.
We definitely make amazing friends.
I know that for sure.
[Ines] You're feeling it more with Izzy?
I just… Yeah, I know I'm gonna be
talking with her a lot
and flirting with her a lot.
I just wanna let you know
where my head's at.
It's not easy.
I was put in a situation yesterday
that I believe I did not deserve.
[tense music playing]
First thing he tells me,
"I'm not really feeling this."
Without even trying.
I wanted to let you know.
[Ines] Okay, this compatibility challenge
is gonna be interesting, then.
[Nick] Yeah.
[Ines] He killed the egg
before it became a chicken.
So, Nick, shortest match, well, ever.
Really, like, ever.
[sighs]
I'm so mad!
Last night I matched with Nick,
then he comes to me and was like,
"You know, I… just wanna be
straight up with you
and tell you that since we matched,
I didn't really feel the thing."
I was like,
"We matched last night at 4:00 a.m."
We woke up this morning
and the first thing you're telling me
is, "I don't feel the thing"?
We didn't even have one moment, you know?
-Fuck.
-Oh my God.
He's like, "When we have a conversation,
I just feel, like, a bit serious."
I'm like, "What do you think I'm gonna do,
a belly dance to get your attention?"
[Kariselle laughs]
-I'm not dull, you know. I still like…
-[Kariselle] You're funny!
-You're not dull at all.
-Thank you!
It's their ego.
Shayne and Nick are just
trying to switch each other's girls.
Difficult morning!
You've been getting
put through the ringer so far.
Yeah. Like, my place in the house
being jeopardized by the whole situation.
-Like, fuck you, you know, like…
-Yeah.
[Francesca] You need that date
more than anyone.
Nick is a piece of shit.
He's basically kicking her to the curb
and wants to go for someone else.
Which is fucked up, in my opinion.
I'm like, "Come on, guys.
You're making me feel like fucking shit."
-He wants what he can't have.
-He wants what he can't have.
Shayne and Nick are so far up
each other's butt, they should just date.
[using baby talk]
Come on, sit by span style="style2"papi, daddy Shayne.
Who's your daddy? Who's your daddy?
[Dom] All right, so what's up?
I told Ines I see her as a good friend,
but it's too serious with her.
And I need something that's more fun
and flirty and goofy,
and that's not Ines' vibe.
Ines didn't give
an instant kind of, like, spark intrigue.
Whereas Izzy was a spark
and it was fucking fun right away.
[Nick] Izzy and Georgia are both great.
Those are the two you're going for?
I don't know much about Georgia yet,
but, yeah, so far, she seems nice.
So, what did Izzy say to you?
She told me, like,
"I thought we had a great date,
and I thought you were
gonna ask me to match,
and I would have said yes."
I don't wanna jump in and not be honest.
So I told her how I felt about
Ines yesterday, and it is what it is.
So, you're basically saying
I was her second option right now?
-No, I'm not saying that.
-It's kind of what you're saying.
She tells me
she gets along with you super well.
[Shayne grunts]
I was not trying to frame it
as you were a second option.
One night with Ines, Nick's over Ines.
So again we're in a love triangle.
Nick doesn't know what he wants.
I feel like Nick is trying to chase
every girl I'm into right now. 100%.
I'm curious what his next move's gonna be.
Would you have changed your mind
regardless of the situation?
Do you regret the Savannah situation?
No, the choice I made
was based on the information I had.
There's no information.
Stop overthinking everything.
Look at this guy. No thinking at all
and I got your girl in my bedroom.
[Dom] Mmm.
What are you feeling about everything?
Like, are you happy with Chase?
[Georgia] Yeah, feels so chill.
[Georgia] Do you like Nick?
I feel like Nick is more you.
I would've gone for him.
I would've last night.
[Georgia] That's what I said.
I'm not saying, Shayne,
don't go there, but I just think,
give them both a chance. It's early days.
-They're both interested in you.
-[Izzy] Both very different.
They're, like,
fighting against each other.
[Izzy] Boys will be boys,
and they're arguing over me.
I'm loving watching it, to be honest.
Keeping my options open.
Can't put my eggs all in one basket now.
[upbeat music playing]
-[Francesca] Oh my God. What is this?
-What is this?
[Joey] Get that dub.
-[Shayne] Your first challenge.
-[Izzy] Ready to win.
[Dom] Today's challenge, 
it means the world.
The winning couple
gets to go on a romantic date.
Let's go in the middle
since we're the best.
I'm Rom-Com Dom.
I want one-on-one time with Francesca.
[upbeat music continuing]
I wanna have aphrodisiacs
and treat her to a nice dinner.
I need that
if I wanna take this to the next level.
Hey, hey, hey!
-[all] Hey!
-[Joey] Good morning!
What up, Nick Lachey?
How is everybody?
[all] Good.
Chase, you and Georgia
had your blind date yesterday,
and it went well enough
that I see you together this morning.
Yeah, it's fun. We're vibing.
So obviously last night we said goodbye
to Anne-Sophie and Savannah.
How do we feel about that?
[laughs]
[Lachey] Thumbs up.
Awful.
[Lachey] Francesca out of the gate.
-[Lachey] All right.
-The shady person's gone. That's it.
Savannah was the shady person? Okay.
I'm happy about it. She made
a move on him, so I'm like, "Hmm."
That's the real reason.
-Yeah.
-[Lachey] Get her out.
Get out of here.
[laughter]
You guys've been strong
from the beginning.
Well, hey, today's compatibility challenge
is all about
how well you know your current partner
and span style="style1"how well you work together.
I'm gonna present you
with a series of tasks one at a time.
The men or the women will bid
on how well they think their couple can do
in completing the task.
Once all the bids are revealed,
you'll have an opportunity
to raise your bid.
The highest-bidding couple
will have to complete the task.
If you complete that task,
the couple with the lowest bid
will be eliminated.
If the highest bidding couple
does not complete the task,
then they are eliminated.
Last couple standing
will be today's most compatible couple.
I have to pee. Nervous.
I'm hoping me and Joey
can kill this challenge.
I'm feeling more compatible
with him than ever.
I'm thinking
maybe I got this one in the bag.
All right. Ladies, how many push-ups
do you think your partner can do
with you on his back?
-Oh God.
-You're the strongest one here.
Place your bids now.
I'm more than confident that Shayne
can do push-ups with me on his back.
I mean, have you seen him?
Our manliness is about to get
called into question real quick.
Ladies, show your bids.
-She wrote 22.
-Twenty--?
-[Lachey] Okay. All right.
-[Joey exhales]
Lay it on me.
[Lachey] Chase is offended by this.
[laughing]
Eleven push-ups?
[Chase] Eleven?
[in Spanish] One-one?
[in English] No way!
Set the bar really low.
-She doesn't think I'm as strong as I am.
-So I'm gonna start over here.
-Joey's a strong guy.
-Yeah.
Twenty-two!
You're pretty confident.
I know Joey could do at least 50
without me on his back.
I figure I'm 115 pounds,
go halfway but take a little off.
-So…
-Wow.
Very scientific computing you just did.
[Joey] And there are some people here
who are brick shit-houses
and their matches
are small little things, so--
-Am I not a small little thing?
-[Joey] No, no, no. I'm not saying that.
I'm just saying,
I think there are some people
who have an advantage
of being much bigger than their match.
All right. And, Dom,
I mean, another big dude. Fifteen?
These numbers make me nervous.
-We're coming with the confidence.
-Let's go on to the highest bid.
Izzy's 25.
I mean, I back him. Look at him.
-You're feeling good about 25?
-Yeah.
This woman believes in me.
I've been working hard on this physique,
so I'm very pumped she can notice that.
Nick, Ines said 20 with a smiley face.
There's no chance.
[all laughing]
Does anybody want to increase their bid?
-Yeah!
-[Lachey] Twenty-seven! Do I hear 28?
Shall I--? I can just--
-Don't you-- Don't--
-[laughs]
I was gonna go for, like, eight.
But to be fair to him,
I'm also quite heavy.
I've pretty heavy bones.
-Stop.
-"Stop"!
Now who's the low bid?
-Do you want to even--?
-[laughs]
-Like, in any case, we're out now.
-Right there. [laughs]
All right. So, guys, we have
a winning bid of 27 push-ups by Dom
with Francesca on his back.
Ines and Nick, with our lowest bid.
If he pulls it off, you guys are out.
I'm an untamed animal
Getting what's mine… ♪
-Good to go?
-[Francesca] Yeah.
-[Lachey] One. Two. Three.
-[Francesca] You can do it.
Dom's looking really good right now,
to be honest.
-Twelve, 13…
-Fourteen. Let's go, buddy!
Mmm. Mmm. Mmm!
It just makes me horny.
-[Lachey] Twenty-one, 22, 23, 24!
-[Francesca] You can do it!
You can just see
the adrenaline in Dom's eyes.
This boy wants it.
[Lachey] Twenty-six, 27!
[cheering]
All right, hotshot. We get it. 
You can do a couple push-ups.
I mean, I could probably
do that in my sleep,
but it's good to watch somebody else
break a sweat for this thing.
Domination, man.
That was sexy.
Know what I'm saying?
That "Dom" stands for "dominance."
[Lachey] Ines and Nick,
with our lowest bid,
you are now eliminated.
It's pretty clear
I could not have done 28.
[laughing]
[Lachey] Take your place
on the losers' bench.
You guys ready
to move on to our next task?
How many countries can you
and your partner label on a map?
Nick Lachey says name
as many countries on the map as you can,
and the first thought through my head is,
"I know nothing."
[Lachey] Ten is a very popular answer.
Geography. Failed that in grade nine.
Doesn't look good.
[Lachey]
We have a high bid of 14 countries.
Joey, you're shaking your head.
You don't know 14?
I'm looking at that map,
and I see a bunch of bullshit.
So, guys, we have a high bid of 14.
We're now gonna open up the auction.
Sixteen.
-[Lachey] Seventeen.
-Don't have a choice, do I?
Do I hear an 18?
Come on, Joey.
Are you out of your mind?
There's a reason
we're in reality television.
'Cause some of us are not
the sharpest tools in the shed.
Sold. Dom and Francesca. 17.
Which means 14 is our low bid.
Joey doesn't even know all his shapes,
and now I've gotta rely on him
for the countries?
I don't think so.
You feeling confident?
No.
[laughing]
[Lachey] Start now.
Seventeen's a lot.
Is this Alaska?
[Francesca] Alaska's part of the States.
Alaska is not a country.
Yeah, but this is the state though.
It's part of it.
[Chase] Alaska's not a country.
It isn't?
I can't look.
[Francesca] Where's the boot?
Oh, wait. Italy's here.
Which one's Russia?
Is this China or Russia?
Is China a country?
-Yes.
-I don't know.
They're doing pretty good.
[Chase] I'm looking at Francesca there,
designing it
like it was fashion week or something.
I'm like,
that come from?"
This is Mexico.
This is Brazil here.
No, Alaska is part of the States.
This is part of the States.
-This is Alaska.
-Yeah, so USA.
[Dom] Oh, you're smart.
Twenty-one, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26.
We have 26 written down.
All right, I think we're good.
-[man] Good job.
-[woman] Good job.
You look exhausted after that.
I'm more tired from this
than from the push-ups.
You have been able to name
your high bid of 17 countries.
Joey and Kariselle are now eliminated.
All right, fellas.
It's now your turn to do the bidding.
How many hot chili peppers
can you and your partner eat?
All right, let's see what you put down.
Oh!
-I could smash all of them.
-[Lachey] All right.
So, Chase, 15, our high bid right now.
She's a bit spicy,
"made of spice." I think we can do it.
Do I hear 16 chili peppers? Dom, 16?
Yeah, 16.
-[Nick] Here we go.
-[Lachey] We've got 20! Do I hear 21?
-I got 28.
-I'll go 29.
Oh my God, 29, are you nuts?
Oh my God.
This shit's gonna be fucking hot.
These men are not thinking
with their fucking heads at this point.
They're just thinking with their…
We're going 30!
What the fuck is happening?
Do I have 31?
All right. Thirty's our highest.
Chase and Georgia,
if they successfully eat
all 30 hot peppers,
Dom, you and Francesca
would be eliminated.
All right, let's do this.
Are you guys ready?
No. But yeah.
Come on down.
[cheering]
[Lachey] Yeah!
[Chase] This pepper-eating challenge
is gonna be a walk in the park.
I've drunk so much alcohol,
eaten so much food,
and never thrown up.
There's no way
I can't pound these peppers and be fine.
I hope you lose.
Oh!
["You Gotta Bite the Bullet"
by The Breaker Sisters playing]
[awestruck] Oh my God.
[Joey] Yo, that does not look fun.
-No!
-[laughter]
All right, take your fork
and go after that first pepper.
[cheering and applause]
No.
Holy hell, this thing is hot.
Hotter than you thought?
[gasps]
[laughing]
Easy.
We messed up.
[laughter]
It is fiery up in here.
-[Lachey] Guys, take your second pepper.
-Twenty-nine more!
[cheering and applause]
Oh my God, she's such a trouper.
[Ines] Oh no!
Oh fuck.
Chase.
-[Lachey] Tapping out?
-Are you done?
I'm the most competitive person
in the world.
Am I really about to throw in the towel?
Okay. Good try, guys. Good try.
I'm looking at this girl. I'm like,
"You really are in excruciating pain,
and you don't show
the slightest sign of quit."
I'm so turned on, genuinely impressed,
and I think I just fell in love.
-I'm really proud.
-[Lachey] Good job.
You did good. You're a fucking tank.
There's more important things
than winning this competition right now.
So take your places up there on the bench.
Good job, guys.
Georgia, she's probably gonna be
pooping fire for the next four days.
Final two couples
in today's compatibility challenge.
We have Dom and Francesca.
And Shayne and Izzy.
Gentlemen, once again, you will be
bidding on our fourth and final task.
How quickly can you and your partner
untie ten knots
on a rope tied between you?
You'll start with your bid and at the end,
it'll be the team with the lowest bid,
in terms of time,
that will have a shot
to complete the task.
If that team is unsuccessful,
then the other team
will have an opportunity
to then untie all 10 knots
in span style="style2"their bidded time.
Final round. It's me and Shayne
versus Francesca and Dom.
I'm not gonna be okay with second place.
I am so competitive,
and I don't wanna be a loser.
Guys, let's see it.
Four minutes for Shayne.
Three minutes for Dom and Francesca.
So pretty big difference there.
-Feeling confident at three minutes.
-Oh God, Dom.
-Yeah. [chuckles]
-[laughter]
[Lachey] Shayne, do I see
a 2 minute 30 second bid?
Dom?
Izzy, we would have stopped.
Shayne, you and Izzy
have a bid of 1 minute 30 seconds.
All right, last chances.
Don't do it.
So, that's where the bidding ends.
Let's do it. You're up.
[Shayne] I'm a competitive person.
So I wanna win this challenge.
If me and Izzy win,
we can control the boardroom.
Which could change up
the whole dynamic of the house.
I'm feeling pretty good with this.
[Lachey] Okay, you guys' time
starts on my count.
You ready? Go.
[Izzy] Quick, quick, quick.
Oh my God, there's not enough space.
[Lachey] One knot down.
Okay, that's how you do it.
-You got it, Shayne. Let's go.
-[Lachey] Two knots down.
Maybe we'll win if we watch what they do.
[Lachey] Three knots down.
Four. Five…
-[Chase] There you go.
-[Lachey] Six.
-Come on, Shayne.
-You look so buff right now.
[Shayne] Uh…
-[Shayne] Go, go.
-Gotta pick it up, guys.
[Chase] Good. Breathe.
-[Shayne] Fuck.
-[Izzy] Quick, quick.
I was very impressed with her
and how we competed today.
It's a step in the right direction.
-Three, two, one…
-I'm sweating.
[Lachey] That's time. Guys, great effort.
But, unfortunately,
you came up a little bit short.
We had two knots left. I'm so gutted.
But surely Francesca and Dom
aren't gonna complete it.
Guys, so close.
We'll move to Dom and Francesca.
And they will have an opportunity
to complete the same task
in their 1 minute and 40 second bid.
If you're both unsuccessful,
the most aggressive bid,
being Shayne and Izzy,
would be our winning bid,
and you guys would be the winner
of today's compatibility challenge.
Good job, guys. Great effort.
-[Lachey] Guys, come on down.
-Let's go.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Lachey] Three, two, one. Go.
[Francesca] Making them loose.
-Yeah, go.
-All right, one knot down.
-Woo!
-[Francesca] This one's loose.
-Step, go. Step, step.
-I can't step anywhere.
[Dom] I know-- My fault.
[Lachey] Two knots down. Three knots down.
-Four. Five knots down.
-[Kariselle] Oh yeah!
[Lachey] Six knots down.
[Kariselle] Let's go! Let's go!
Oh my God, the final was so intense,
like I was watching the fucking Olympics.
[Lachey] Two to go.
[Francesca] They're all loose.
[Lachey] Nine knots down. Final knot.
[tense music building]
[cheering]
[Lachey] Dom and Francesca!
Congratulations, guys.
Oh my God.
[Lachey] Successfully completed that task
in under your bidded time
of 1 minute and 40 seconds,
and because of that,
you are now our most compatible couple.
Which means you get to
meet me in the boardroom later,
invite two new singles
to come here and send them on dates
with any two members
of the less compatible couples.
It also means
you get to go on your own date.
So congrats, guys.
Enjoy it. Have a good night.
-Thank you, Nick.
-Bye, guys.
[upbeat music playing]
[Francesca] We're in the jungle.
Look at this.
-Where are we going?
-Ooh.
[Francesca] Oh my goodness.
[Dom] This is nice.
Me and Dom are so compatible.
We've needed this date so bad.
I hope everything goes smoothly,
and I hope it's romantic and perfect,
and we leave this
stronger than we were before.
-We should have a drink.
-[Dom] I agree.
-I always get so nervous with…
-Don't-- Ooh!
It's weird 'cause I feel like
every single challenge we do,
it just brings us
closer and closer together.
-Cheers to us.
-Cheers to us.
I think as we progress and we go forward,
it's like, there really is something here.
-[Dom] There's grapes. You want grapes?
-I'm down for a grape.
-Never fed anyone grapes before.
-Really?
I don't think I have either.
-Let me do you first.
-Okay.
Go.
-That's how you do it?
-That's how you do it.
[Dom] Okay.
I feel like that's a lot sexier in movies.
-I'm okay. I'm good for grapes.
-Oh, okay.
-Do you like strawberries?
-[Francesca] I love strawberries. Yeah.
This is sexy.
[giggles]
That was not sexy.
Can you try the fig for me?
I don't know what a fig is.
Why are you just continuously
putting it closer to my--?
-I'm asking you a question.
-[both laughing]
I want to know what I'm consuming…
-Try it.
-…before you just, like…
Try!
This is trust.
What is it? It kind of tastes sweet.
-You know what's hilarious?
-What?
One time I legitimately--
I'm so bad with foods.
-Okay.
-I thought a papaya was a carrot.
It was chopped up.
I had a plate full of chopped-up papaya,
and I ate it, and I was like,
"Wow, these are really great carrots."
Oh my God.
Yeah. Not the brightest.
No.
-All right, let's go.
-Yeah.
Oh.

I think that is such a green flag.

That's what she's gonna say.

I think that counts!

If Channing can do this, so can I.
-[cheering]
-[Shayne] There it is!
[Georgia] "Izzy, kiss the person
the girls choose is the hottest."
-What?
-Let's huddle.
And it's gotta be a good fucking kiss.
We should pick Nick
'cause she wants to kiss Nick.
Unless you care?
Yeah, no. Oh, no, no, no.
100% not.
I think it's important. They need to…
Okay! It's sorted.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Izzy, you're kissing Nick.
["Being Bad" by Sam Shrieve playing]
[Ines] Mademoiselle.
[Joey] Oh my God.
Nick is having the best
fucking week of his life.
[Shayne] The whole timing
of the kiss, it was just…
Where are people's mindsets at,
where that's okay?
It's disrespectful.
We aren't going for the same girl.
He's after the girl I'm after.
It's more ego than anything with him.
That's the kind of guy Nick is.
It's just… it's annoying.
-[Francesca] Thank you, sir. Thank you.
-[Dom] After you.
[cheering]
-Wanna play this fucked-up game?
-Come play.
-[Francesca] Fuck yeah, I do.
-[Georgia] It's fucked up!
[cheering]
I'm like…
[Shayne sniffles] Damn it.
[Nick] That would--
-There it is.
-Yes!
[Joey] Now, since she's new to the game,
obviously Francesca is doing the dare.
"I dare you to pick a person
and eat a banana from both ends."
Thankfully, we have a banana on hand.
[Kariselle screams]
What's happening?
[Joey] She has to
eat a banana and make out.
Oh, fuck off, man. I don't fucking…
[Georgia] Come on,
it's just a fucking banana. Let's go.
Nobody wants that.
I took this woman on a date. A great date.
And now this is happening.
-It's awkward.
-Now it's awkward.
Okay, let's skip this one.
Yeah, now that's just awkward.
It's just a respect thing.
-[Dom sighs]
-[Joey] He looks pissed.
Yeah, he looks really pissed.
It's just a banana.
-That did not end how it started.
-You think?
You knew that kiss was
way more than what it was, right?
[Nick] Hey, no more dares. It's fine.
It's just a kiss, right?
Right in front of my face for 50 seconds.
What world am I living in
that that's normal?
It's childish. I'm not here for that.
-[Nick] It was a game.
-It's embarrassing, actually.
I'm not interested in anyone else,
so I'm not gonna
fucking try to fight for someone--
-No one's saying to do that.
-It's just not my style.
Now Shayne's on a bit of a spiral.
[Nick] And it's just a kiss.
Come on, dude.
It's a waste of my fucking time,
to be honest with you.

I'm sorry for the way I handled that.
We had this great challenge,
then we had this amazing--
Like, I think it was an amazing date.
I wanna just have one fucking nice night
with my fucking girl.
That's what I thought
we were gonna have tonight. I was vibing--
I didn't handle it the best way.
I just wanted to apologize to you.

Sorry.
No, you're just no good, no ♪
There's a lot going on tonight.

-[Shayne] You don't know?
No.
I'm wasting my time here now.
-Really?
-Yeah.
You made out with Nick. Right?
[Izzy] When I first got here, yeah.
And tonight.
-I was uncomfortable. It was weird.
-Mm.
Um, so I'm not here to play games.
But you never made out to me before
any of this happened we were a thing.
We would joke about it.
After today's challenges, all that stuff,
I thought it was actually progressing
more than just
random shit from last night, right?
And then, what if I made out with…?
I mean, I don't know who to compare it to,
but right in your face.
Little shit like that…
You could have easily went with Nick
if you wanted to.
I didn't beg for you to come with me.
-I probably haven't said the right thing.
-Right.
I'm being honest about the situation.
I didn't fucking jump on him.
If you feel that way, you feel that way.
[Izzy] My kiss with Nick
obviously triggered Shayne.

about the situation,
but I'm here for myself.

-Oh my God.
-[Lachey] What's up, guys?
-Oh! Sh…
-Oh my God, you scared me.
-Nick, man…
I'm sneaky like that.
-[Dom] Come on.
-Welcome to the boardroom.
-Thank you.
-Thank you, thank you.
Well, guys, this is where

You better be careful with that tongue.

[Lachey] Damian from span style="style2"Love Is Blind.
Oh my God.
[Damian] Me and Francesca are friends,
and you should trust that.
As she trusts it, as I trust it.
If you are still figuring it out,
then I would never try and even
get in the way of anything like that.
This is not the beginning
of a beautiful relationship.
[groans]
We got Damian…
[scoffs]
Fuck.
The Mole.
-Have you ever doubted me?
Have you?
[Dom] This fucking guy.
Things just didn't end
on a good note with me and Will.
You can invite two to come here.
And you can pair them up
with any two members
of the less compatible couples.
Or you could choose
to match them with yourself.
Obviously, everyone is here to find love,
but at the end of the day, only one couple
will be voted the Perfect Match.
All right, good luck. Have fun.
-Thank you.
-All right.
-Thanks, Nick.
-Yep.
-We're here. In control, finally.
-We're here, finally.
-In control. Yeah.
-[Dom] Most compatible.
Most compatible.
Okay, I'm just gonna go right for it.
The person that we're
for sure gonna put on a date.
-Our girl. Ines.
-Our baby girl!
Let's throw her…
[Dom] We love Ines.
We want Ines to find the perfect match.
[Francesca] We know that the men
in the house right now
are not a match for her.
[Dom] Heard a lot about this guy.
You do have history with Damian.
Yeah, he was on span style="style2"Love Is Blind.
We have had a friendship…
over the past few years.
-Um…
-Is there something there?
Was there ever anything there?
We have never kissed.
It was just friendship.
All right, fair enough.
He ain't doing 27 push-ups
with you on his back, so…
Let's not match them up.
Let's see this long-haired man.
He was on your show, right?
[Dom] He was on my show span style="style2"The Mole.
Doesn't look like he brushes his hair.
[Dom] You know, the basis of my show
was literally all about lying
and cheating and stealing, so,
things didn't end on a good note.
That's something I don't wanna get into.
-Fine.
-That's a waste of a match.
Yeah, let's throw him out of there.
Let's see how she looks with Bartise.
[Dom] Come on, buddy.
[Francesca] Aw, he looks so happy.
He did not wanna get married?
He said no to his girl at the altar,
but the fact that he went on span style="style2"Love Is Blind
proves that he is ready for marriage.
So props to him.
He seems like a good vibe.
[Francesca] They do look
quite attractive together.
Obviously, Ines, I want her to be happy.
-She's been through a lot…
-Mm-hmm.
…with the men in this house.
And I truly do feel like
this is the best match for Ines.
Shall we lock it in?
[Dom] Ooh!
-It touches the rings!
-Cute.
They get interlocked!
-We did a good deed today.
-We did a good deed.
I wanna put Ines on a date
because she's been through a lot.
She's trying to find her perfect match.
Just like I found my perfect match
with Francesca.
[Joey] What do we think's happening?
I think somebody's going on a date.
Who do you think's going on a date?
-Ines.
-[Izzy] You deserve it.
[Chase] I think Georgia
could be a wild card date.
-[Ines] She could be one.
-[Izzy] Yeah.
I think that Francesca and Dom
are starting to feel threatened
by what me and Georgia can be.
If I was Dom and the roles were switched,
the first thing I would do
is send Georgia on a date
to get me out of the house.
What I told Georgia is like,
"I'm 1,000% committed to Georgia."
If I'm not Georgia's match,
then she's my match.
When you're in there,
your whole game plan,
I think Nick can vouch for this,
goes out the window.
They're trying to tear me
and what I wanna build apart.
I'm gonna address this.
[Dom] Okay, next up.
[Francesca] This is where it gets tricky.
[tense music playing]
Um…
You brought up Damian.
So I kind of wanna bite the bullet.
And… go out with him?
Go on a date with him, yeah.

has nothing to do with me.

[Ines] No!
So, you know, I'm here.
Francesca is not.
Um…
There were some familiar faces…
on the board,
and there was Damian on there.
I didn't think it was gonna happen.
She's gotta do what she's gotta do.
-No way.
-Are you okay?
-I'm gonna be all right.
-Do you want a hug?

criminalize me, whatever,

that would have been the move.

She comes back
and she knows that what we have is real.
If not, send me packing.
