Leaving Paradise
1
I won't stop until the story's done
Rewrite history, be the one
Who's name you remember
Never surrender
I won't let up
You all right?
How are you feeling?
- Good.
How was it? - It was fun.
Who was there? - Everyone except Kyle and Shaina.
- Oh, really? Yeah.
I mean, everyone was like, "Oh, I bet it's because one of them is an atheist - and one of them is religious.
" Yeah.
- Yeah.
- We saw that coming.
- Yeah, shocker.
They There's something about Sal and Mallory that's, like, really cute, but also, it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't, like, last, but It was - I thought the same - So, I pressed Jarrette a little.
And I was like, "So, here's the differences.
Okay, like What do you think about Mallory?" - Yeah.
- "Like, she's beautiful.
" Did Jarrette react to you? - What did he say? - Yeah, he agreed.
Totally.
- Yeah.
- Kind of, like, reassured.
Not convinced, but I'm a skeptic.
He asked Mallory first if she would say yes.
She said no.
- She cried.
- She cried? Oh, she was sobbing.
She just felt terrible.
But she really likes Sal.
I mean, I wish I was there.
So - I wish you were there too.
- I love you.
But you know what? Hmm? I just wanted to get back with you.
I literally was like, "Can I leave? Can I? Can I?" Yeah.
I mean, you looked like you were having fun.
Looked like? Yeah.
What do you think I was doing out there? I was bored.
- You watched it? - Yeah.
Well, I watched part of it.
Oh, I was talking to the girl about capitalism.
It was - Yeah, I saw that.
- You saw that? - Yes.
- Did you hear me yelling? - What'd you think I was doing? Yes, I did.
- I waved at you.
You didn't wave back.
I was mad.
No, not when you were walking out.
I watched when you were walking towards the beach.
I didn't walk towards the beach.
That wasn't me.
You were walking this way.
Yeah, you were.
So, you were the only person that was there without someone else? - Yes.
- Okay.
It's not that I don't trust you.
I do.
It's that I don't like some situations that are gonna make this not work.
Like today.
Do you know what, though? What didn't work today for us? You and me.
- What's going on in my head.
- About us? - Everything.
- What's going on with us now? There's no penetrating us.
Literally There is.
There's not.
- This stuff is gonna cause big issues.
- You're gonna let it.
- Yes.
- Why? Why does this cause an issue? Because I had three hours to sit here and not do anything but be in my head.
I sat in the closet.
I locked the door.
I shut this, and I sat in the closet and cried.
Do you think anything tonight changed the way that I feel about you? I don't know.
But if I were to leave for three hours and you were to sit in the closet and cry, you'd probably change the way you feel.
Like, if I was the one that was going somewhere.
You have to admit I'm not saying that to make you feel bad.
I just want you to understand where I'm coming from.
I had to be here alone, by myself.
- I told you I didn't have to go.
- For hours.
Do you believe me? Do you trust me? I don't I'm not kidding you, I don't trust anything right now.
- Not even me? - Nothing.
I can't believe you don't trust me at all.
My word doesn't mean anything to you.
- I'm done.
No, I'm done.
- Stop.
Hey.
I'm a little tired of hearing What I should do, what I should say Always being told I have to change - I'm not mad at you - But you're acting mad at me.
You're being toxic and you gotta stop.
You have to start being - I'm not mad about something.
- No.
Stop.
Let me finish, please.
You're not making the active effort to stop the toxicity.
Am I okay? Am I okay? Am I okay? Oh Are you ready for a good time? Oh! Get ready for a good time Are you ready? Ew.
Ew! No.
That's where I draw the line.
- Starting my morning skin care routine.
- Check out my little ring.
Let's go to that.
Look at that bad boy.
Ooh.
Sexy.
I have good taste.
What can I say? Ready for a good time There's something's going on with these healing crystals on my head.
Deeps gave me these.
I have to say, I'm feeling really good.
- And then this one, I'm not a big - It's a heart crystal.
I'm not a fan of this one, because it seems very manufactured.
- Did we get coffee? - Yeah.
- That was a pod promise.
- I know.
I'm a woman of my word.
I can sometimes be mistrusting of men, not only because of the way that I look, but because of situations that have happened in my past.
Thank you.
Because I'm scared they're gonna be constantly seeking out someone else.
And I'm like, "They're always gonna find someone skinnier, hotter.
" And I wanna make sure I'm competing with every single person out there, and they can sense that, and I distrust people who don't deserve that.
A rose by the bed.
You're welcome.
I feel like last night derailed.
So, I was upset, but when I am bubbling up like that, that's not myself.
I get that.
I really get that.
My heart feels like I wanna forgive him and I want him to forgive me.
I want this to be over.
I love, love, love that you made sure that you ordered coffee right away, - while I was sleeping.
- Yeah.
Duh.
Duh, I told you I would.
Typically, we're good at communicating and letting the other person know, but it hasn't really heightened to this level before.
It's an eerie feeling.
Um, it's a new feeling and it sucks.
What are we gonna do today? - You wanna go to the beach? - Oh! Of course you spilled.
- I - Like, "I'm gonna spill.
" - Then, surprise, surprise.
- Ah! - As if it couldn't get any worse in here.
- Okay, no coffee in bed for you.
No! - I'll have to sit over here and drink it.
- Yeah.
I can tell you 100% if we met in real life, and we had an argument like we did last night that early on, that wouldn't have worked.
But because we have this connection and these strong communication skills that we built in the pods, we're able to come back from something like that.
I believe our bond grows stronger and stronger.
I have something I have to tell you.
It's very important.
- Yeah? Mm-hmm.
- I hope it's not a deal-breaker.
- I like long walks on the beach.
- Do you? - How do you feel about them? - I like them.
- It'd be nice to walk on the beach.
- Yeah.
- This here is gorgeous.
- So pretty.
- It's so fucking pretty.
- Oh.
This whole thing.
This makes me feel like I really should've paid attention in Spanish.
- I took seven years.
- Seven? I took four.
I have nothing to show for it, except "cómo está?" - This beach is beautiful.
- I know.
So pretty.
We're at the ocean in Mexico.
Engaged.
Mmm.
- With our whole lives ahead of us.
- I know.
Can you imagine anything better? - No.
- Me neither.
- Eek! Do you love it though? - Yeah.
- Good.
- And you.
I love you.
I love you too.
- You wanna go in the water? - Let's go.
Yeah Spend it with you My favorite, ooh I don't have to pretend When I'm with you I said hey ho Today's gonna be my day-o I said hey ho Today's gonna be my day Everybody loves the sunshine God, this is so pretty.
- You look amazing right now.
- Aw.
Thank you.
So do you.
Oh! Last night, when all the couples met, Mallory and Jarrette were talking for a long time and I did think Mallory wasn't interested in me.
That's why I broke down.
Then when we got back, I just wanted to go to bed.
I know that some people don't like going to sleep angry or upset, but at that point I was emotionally charged.
I didn't want to say anything that I would regret later.
Hey, I know it's Ugh.
Huh.
I don't know, Mal, I I, um I know it's been a lot.
- Mm-hmm.
- Um Like, this whole trip has been a lot, and, um, I know we've hit a couple of little bumps and I just wanted to I guess I just wanted to apologize because I know I I - I just misunderstood.
Um - Mm-hmm.
- I don't feel you meant to call me out.
- We're on the same page.
- I know you called me out already.
- Oh, I'll call you out.
- Oh.
You're lucky.
I would've killed - I know.
Most other people would've probably killed you.
I'm very lucky.
Me too.
I totally get it.
There was a lot going on, a lot of emotions.
It was the first time the guys were seeing all the women and we were seeing all the guys, and we're all in the same room together, and it's just It's a lot.
Um - Yeah.
It's a little nerve-racking.
- Oh, for sure.
And I think, too, like, I don't ever want to make you feel like bad.
I never wanna, like, hurt you.
Me neither.
To you, though.
Yeah.
Jarrette is kind of what I've dated previously.
That's where there was then some type of connection 'cause there was some familiarity with that.
But I know how much Sal cares about me and how much I care about him.
I feel like I do love Sal immensely, and I will always make sure he knows where I stand.
Those are hard conversations and the fact that we're just up to having them together is - Means a lot to me.
- Yeah.
All of this, Mal, is just a choice.
It's a choice.
I want you to be able to choose me at the end of the day.
- Mm-hmm.
- Every day.
- Yeah.
- It's like Because that's what I'm doing.
I wanna choose you.
I want you here 'cause you want to be.
- Yeah.
- And that's why I'm here.
- Same.
- Okay.
Same.
And trust me, I will never be anywhere I don't wanna be.
I really like that about you and I feel like we both have very similar visions of what we want.
Yeah.
Same.
So, to our engagement and whatever new challenges we're gonna face, Mal.
Like - I'm here for it, okay? - Same.
- I know you are too.
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
- So, cheers.
- Prost! - Ooh.
That was such a good cheers.
- What if we broke these glasses? I wouldn't be surprised.
Oh! Mm Mm-mm-mm.
- And you're a good kisser, which is nice.
- Oh my God.
Yo.
This is I'm finally able to put your pod voice to your face right now.
So, today was the first day that I realized I'm just now pairing up your pod voice and your face.
Oh my God, this is so weird.
Yeah, no.
I think I've got it pretty paired now.
- Just happened for me right now.
- How did you even realize that? I'm sitting here listening to you talk, and I'm just looking at you, and it's finally clicking.
Can you deal with this for the rest of your life? - Uh - This is a lot.
Probably not.
After day one, I was ready to run.
I ain't gonna lie.
But, you know I'm just fooling.
I'm gonna beat you up.
I'm gonna beat you up.
I'm just playin'.
Our chemistry is amazing.
Um I feel like I've been with him for at least like five years.
But seeing him talking with Mallory, I mean, I was a little worried that maybe he'd regret his choice.
You're a hater, bruh.
I really do trust him.
He's a grown man.
What would break my heart is if he, like, lied to me.
Like, if he lied to me, that's a deal-breaker for me.
I don't like being lied to.
That's a no-go.
And cheating is also a huge no-go.
When I get in a new relationship, it's almost immediately, I just like immediately cut off certain relationships out of For me, it's out of respect for my new relationship.
- Oh Lord.
- Are you still friends with your exes? I'm not a big fan of burning bridges, because you never know Why do you call it burning bridges? I just call it boundaries.
- No, I call it boundaries.
- There's boundaries within exes.
But it's also like, you never know who you're gonna need down the line.
You don't need an ex.
She can be somewhere in HR, and I'm trying to get in HR and she's looking for a position to hire and I'm like - No.
That'd be like, "No, thank you.
" - You never know though.
Just so accepting.
I mean, I also wouldn't be communicating with my ex every damn day.
She would know that I'm married.
So, I would - There's boundaries I wouldn't cross.
- Would she be okay with that? She has to be.
The hell? It's also on me to navigate that, you know I'm glad you recognize that.
I'd hate to have to point that out.
That's not comfortable.
No, I 'Cause I'm really big on observation and just reading body language.
Mm-hmm.
So, if I'm worried, then there's an issue, but I have to see it.
Would you say something in the moment? If you were worried? No.
Honestly, you probably wouldn't even be able to tell in the moment if I'm worried or not.
It'd be after the fact, like, "Hey, babe, I don't That makes me uncomfortable.
" - I can't force you to do anything.
- Mmm.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
I mean, 'cause I just feel like if you said something to me and you felt strongly about it, then I would do the necessary things to make sure you're comfortable within the situation.
I appreciate it.
I wouldn't be like, "Well, I don't care how you feel.
" I wouldn't do that.
I'm trusting your words, but I also need to see it in action.
Okay.
This is love that I'm feeling for you - Your first cenote.
Ready? - My first cenote! - Here we are.
- I'm so excited.
You know, the ancient Incans say that each cenote - Yeah? - has a spirit of its own.
Ooh.
I love that.
This is a vibe! Do you hear the cave echo? Oh, that's some good acoustics.
- Oh, dude, this is - Babe, this is dope.
- Holy shit.
- This is a vibe right here.
Oh my God.
Is it a fish? - Yep, that is a fish.
- I mean, I know it's a fish, but I know it's your first cenote, but Come on.
Really pumped to show Deeps this cenote.
They're really, really vibey underground caves.
My first ever cenote.
Her very first cenote.
It's a vibey one, honestly.
- I'm liking this aesthetic.
- No one here.
The last time I was at one was actually for a music festival that Diplo was at.
Definitely a different type of cenote experience than the one we're going to today, but I'm excited.
I wanna jump in so badly.
I love going out and doing things.
Deeps seems to be that type of person too, so just having the opportunity to go on a mini-adventure together is awesome.
This is our cenote! Yeah.
This is a strong enough connection to fight for and I need to do everything in my power to see if I can bring that missing element in our relationship.
- Ready? - Ready? One, two, three.
In the light of day Wow.
Look at this.
Like a tidal wave Crashing all around me Smile.
Amazing.
How was it? It's nice! - Ooh, yeah! Nice! - Yeah, that was a good That was a sexy dolphin type of thing you did.
I like it.
Oh boy.
- That was fun, right? - So fun.
We could be giants We could be giants She's all right as she's dirty dancing She's all right as she's dirty dancing One desire, she's dirty dancing Sallory in the house! Hey! What's up, guy? - Hold on, wait, guys.
- Group hug? Y'all ready to play some volleyball? I got Nick.
- Oh! Number one draft pick! Yeah! - Who'd you pick? - I'll take heart over height.
- You guys do your thing.
- I'm just gonna watch.
- Hey.
Take your shirts off.
We're doing this.
Yeah.
Sal, come on.
Finally, she says that! - Actually, put it back on.
I'm good.
- Know what? Play shirts and skins.
I'm the referee.
I am so bad at sports.
The game is starting right now! I am terrified of balls coming my way.
I feel We are, we are on the Same team! We're playing for keeps Because we're on the same team Shayne looks hot as shit.
That is not a good way to describe him.
Oh, I'm going right for this one.
Oh, yeah.
- Natalie, what are you doing? - Get back here! I hate sports.
- Go, sexy! - Go, sports! I will not take an L for anything! Let's go! Pick it up! Whoa! Nope.
Our kids are in deep trouble.
Oh my God.
We can be as free as we feel Natalie.
What? I'm just taking a break.
Let's go! Ah! I don't know who let me on that volleyball court.
We won! Woo! - Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
What's gonna happen? - Oh no! - Oh, oh, oh! - Ah! - And there it is.
- Almost there and then he falls.
My water shoes failed me.
I tripped before I got to the water.
I got salt water in my eyes, so my contact was, like, burning and I couldn't see.
Memorable, for sure.
Feeling like a weight Has been lifted right off of my chest Look at this scene.
Oh my God.
Oh yeah.
They're being such bros.
Look at them bonding.
There's a solid bromance.
Oh my God.
They're such extroverts.
Whoo-hoo-hoo! Oh shit! It's adorable.
Oh, hey.
You're so extra.
What I do? Everything.
I don't think I realized just how extroverted you were.
You're like the most extroverted.
- Is it a problem? - It's not too much.
I'm just worried you'll more so be annoyed at how opposite I am.
- How you just sitting down and - Mm-hmm.
Does that bother you? No, but that's also like I'll ask you if you want to come out.
And I'll say no.
- This is what I'm like when I go out.
- No, that's fine.
- Wait.
How's it been going, though? - Been going really well.
- Are you comfortable around him? - Yeah.
So comfortable.
I think everyone looks really good together.
I was gonna say, I think all the boys are like really good-looking.
- Yeah.
I think they're so cute, honestly.
- Yeah.
But I think we, as women, are out of their league - Yeah.
- But that's just me.
It's so funny.
It's funny to see the dynamics of all the couples.
I think just meeting Jarrette.
Jarrette was like Kind of like, "Uh" Like, you know He had definitely dated up until the end.
- Come on, child.
- Get me up.
Was it awkward? Yeah, it was like it was awkward.
It was a little awkward.
It was just so much all at once, you know.
I'm overwhelmed.
Sorry.
Oh my - I love the wavy hair.
It's so sexy.
- I know! It looks so good.
 I told her.
That's so funny 'cause that's not what you said last night.
Just kidding.
Yeah, you don't remember what you did last night.
I love that thing, though.
- Do you want to be murdered? - I Natalie-lee You are the one for me We'll have a kid or three Oh.
Like six.
Whee! Nick and Danielle look like opposite human beings.
Yeah, but opposites attract.
Do you think we're way different than I think we are.
- We're very similar people.
- I think we have different energy levels.
Yeah, but no one is on my energy level.
No one will ever be able to match that.
I know, but because I'm a little bit introverted, I think I don't get energy from people.
It's like it sucks it out of me.
Yes.
So, do I suck every little bit out of you? No.
Of course not.
So, should I save something for later on, so we can have some more fun in the area that I want to have more energy in? - Oh, what? Beach volleyball? - No, in the bedroom.
I am not talking about it.
What the fuck?! Come on.
I was gonna make you put me on your shoulders.
I'll do it right now.
- Oh, no, nope, nope, nope.
- Ah! Got it! - Oh.
There we go.
Yeah? - You've got it! Not a big deal.
Yes! You can do it! - Got you! - Let me down! - Whoa.
Oh God.
- Please, gently, Shakey.
- Slowly, gently.
You'll never believe - I'm already halfway down.
Okay, I got you.
Let her go gently.
- He did.
I'm impressed.
- He did it.
- I didn't think he'd be strong enough.
- Yeah, sometimes we surprise ourselves.
No one thought it was possible.
Yeah.
I'm very curious to see how Deeps and Shake end up.
Why? Well, Shake said that he was not at all interested in Deeps, sexually.
- That's fucked up.
- That's really fucked up.
What did you say? I try to stay out of that drama, so I told him about how much great stuff we've done.
Goddamn it.
Tell me about you and Danielle.
Like, you guys I feel like you guys had such a frigging connection and you told each other you loved each other so quickly.
- It felt like, right? - Yeah, five days.
You know, you know.
That's how I feel! I will say that it's been really fun, and we've been having a really good time.
That's good.
I think Mexico has helped us connect in a lot of ways.
We've built such a deep connection.
Have you been physical? A little bit, but we both stopped ourself from getting there, even though we wanted to, completely.
By the way, gettin' married.
- Are you physically attracted to him? - Absolutely.
He's the first brown man I've ever kissed in my entire life.
Really? What was your first kiss like? - It was great.
- I can't imagine.
My gosh, the emotional connection we made and the foundation that we built was very strong.
Me and Shake can talk romantically, and try to see if we can get there.
- You know, you know, right? - You know, you know.
I'm breaking down for you I'm spitting truth to you Sometimes late's better than never And I know no one ever Is gonna love you like I do - Cheers! - Cheers.
- Wait, this is so good.
- It is good.
Best food we've eaten in Mexico so far? Go.
Tacos.
- Thank you.
Street tacos.
Those were fire.
- Mm-hmm.
But that's what I'm super excited about.
In the pods, we talked about a lot of cool things.
We're like, "We're adventurous.
We can go and do things," but actually doing it with you and just like living in the moment.
Took the words out of my mouth.
You're already taking the words out of my mouth.
Yeah.
That's exactly where my mind's at right now too.
That does worry me, though.
Honestly.
- What? Hmm? - If I'm being really honest.
I think we've been on this kind of fairy-tale vacation.
Mm-hmm.
But, I'm kind of approaching a point in my life where I'm gonna have to grind.
Mm-hmm.
You know, I'm opening a business.
I'm opening an animal hospital.
It does make me nervous because I love to have a good time, but I have a lot of responsibility coming up.
Yeah.
In the back of my mind, I think about that all the time.
It's like, when we get back to reality, when we start to integrate our lives together, when we start living together, how is it all gonna play out? And I'm here to support you in this career-oriented journey that you're on.
And I understand it, because now is the time to grind.
Now is the time when you're young and you have that energy to put everything you have into your career, so that you can enjoy your life later.
I don't think everybody fully realizes that.
You really capture my thoughts and feelings so well.
I would love to be there with you on that journey.
Honestly, it means a lot to hear that.
I honestly feel like you have my back more than anyone else I've ever met.
I don't know that I took part in this experiment looking for what I have right now, which is an amazing, supportive woman who's kinda there for me.
I mean, saying it back, it sounds like Obviously, duh, you should be looking for that, but I don't know that those qualities have been the hallmark of my previous relationships.
It's not like this lusty, physical relationship like I've had in the past or looked for, but I think this could be exactly what I need.
Maybe we focus less on what could go wrong and focus more on what could go right? Yeah.
I like that a lot.
At this point, I can't wait to move in together.
It'll be awesome.
- I think it's gonna be a lot of fun.
- I'm excited for it all.
- To the next chapter.
- Cheers.
To the next chapter.
So, am I allowed to put you as my emergency contact now? I'm the best emergency contact, because I answer right away.
- We go home tomorrow.
- I know.
What am I gonna cook for you? Can't think of anything sexier than a Salisbury steak.
- I don't even know what's Honestly - It's meatloaf and gravy.
- Is that what Salisbury steak is? - It's basically meatloaf.
Meatloaf is not sexy.
I can't wait to make your dog like me more than he likes you.
It won't take much.
He's such a sellout.
But I'm literally gonna train him to like me more than you.
I'm telling you, you won't have to train him.
- He'll literally go - I'm so excited.
He will come say hi to me and then he'll run to you.
- Like, ah, I can't wait.
- And I can't wait for you to meet him.
My cat, maybe not so much.
Are her and Grayson gonna get along? Mm? - Yeah.
- Grayson doesn't like other dogs.
I don't know how he's gonna feel about cats.
I don't think Grayson is gonna be down for that.
Um - I'm excited to see your place though.
- Yeah, my place is pretty nice.
What are you most worried about? I do wanna know.
Sometimes I don't see it coming.
It's like a freight train out of nowhere.
I'm scared that you'll think that how I've been acting is how I'm gonna act for the rest of our lives, and it's not.
It's not like that.
I just had a panic attack.
I'm I'm, like, really scared of you judging me for how I was when I was going through that.
And you The way that you're looking at me right now, I can tell you are judging me for it.
- I'm not judging you for it.
- Yeah.
I'm not judging you.
I'm trying to understand, and I'm trying to support.
Yeah, no, and I believe you when you say that.
I just think You don't give me a lot to work with.
It's just like the way that you're responding to me makes me feel worse.
- A lot worse.
- I'm trying to understand.
- I know.
- Like, I don't know how to handle it.
Yeah.
And then if I try and you get more angry, then it's like, "What do I do?" Yeah.
You don't We don't know how to navigate each other in those situations yet.
- And that's what's a huge thing.
- I'm trying.
I know you are.
 I know you are.
I genuinely do trust you, and I know that your intentions are always good.
Like, I don't ever want you to think that I'm not thinking that.
When it's so heavy you can't hold it Yep.
I'm by my man When you You hit the bottom Night is gone I'll catch you on the way down I'll catch you on the way down I'll catch you on the way down I'll catch you on the way down I'll catch you on the way down After you.
This is really cute, though.
This trip has been the best.
Just seeing his smile, and just the way he hugs me and the way he holds my hand.
It just, like, took our relationship to a whole new level.
It's so crazy that the wedding's three weeks away and I can't wait to get to the married part.
I'm so happy.
- Cheers.
- To our first dinner date.
- Oh my gosh.
Yeah! - Look at that full glass you got too.
You gonna drink it all? - Oh, that's fantastic.
- What? What is it? - It's really good.
- What is it? What is it? - It's really good.
- What is it? - I can't talk with food in my mouth! - Sorry.
Okay.
- I'm trying to be respectful.
- Yeah.
- Are you excited to go back home? - Mm-hmm.
I'm anxious about it.
I think, um - Just having the conversations.
- With your parents and everything? - And your mom too, siblings.
- My mom will be fine with it.
- I know, but it's also - You gonna wear that red dress for my mom? - Why would I wear that for your mom? - Why? I mean, it's sexy.
- What? - I like it.
No, I'm gonna wear a frickin' turtleneck in the middle of the summer.
I might wear an entire just, like, zip-up onesie, honestly.
Are you happy with everything that's been going on the last couple days? Besides me, like, ripping out your soul with all my energy? Is there anything else? Or no? That's who I am.
I can't help that.
When you're with your guy friends, it's like a whole 'nother level.
Yeah.
I think in that way we're different people.
Don't think we have to work on it.
Just something I have to get used to.
- Yeah.
- It is who you are.
So, I think it's fine.
- That's the person you love, right? - Yeah.
Oh! Could you give me a little more love than that or no? I was like, "Yeah.
" Yeah.
You You gotta give our relationship a little more credit.
Yeah, it's not like I don't.
I'm just saying, like You joke a lot about our relationship.
How often do you say how good it is? But, like, why do I have to? Why do we need to talk about how great it is with other people? Because we both joke around with each other a lot, right? But, honestly, I brag all the time about us.
I know and I want to too, but it's just not my style.
- Why are you getting defensive over it? - I'm not.
No, I'm not.
Sorry.
It was the way you were raising your voice at me.
It was weird.
Are you upset that I don't brag about our relationship? No, I'm not upset about it.
I'm just like Why can't you brag about it? You don't brag about your purses, your coats, you brag about how a guy treats you? That's something you should brag about.
I just show my love differently.
I think you have such high expectations.
Yeah, I'm not about PDA.
I'm not gonna always be, like, super affectionate with you.
It's I didn't ask that question.
You're really freaking out at me right now, I feel like.
I'm not fr Did I raise my voice? I'm having a conversation with you.
I know.
I'm just like shutting down during it right now.
Living in a crowded dream Searching for the quiet That you need to breathe Gave up on your sanity To hide behind your shadow While you tried to take the sun down I'm done.
I'm the fuck out of here.
Heading back with only one way Trying to stop from running But you can't wait Bury all the evidence You'll only learn When you crash and burn Well, well, well.
- Oh my God, hi! - Hi.
How are you? How are you? Been waiting a while? - This far.
- Yeah, I know.
So.
Where's your ring? You're being weird.
- I'm not being weird.
- You're being weird.
Well, I don't know where we're standing.
I don't know where we're at.
I'm just confused.
I just was not comfortable spending the night together.
- Yeah.
- Sharing a bed.
- It was moving too fast.
- Oh, yeah.
It did freak me out.
- Hi! - Hi.
- Thank you.
- Oh, it's beautiful.
Looks so good.
- Enjoy.
- Thank you so much.
I thought about what it'd be like to be married to you.
It was - What did you - I got excited.
I'm not gonna let go and give up that easy on us.
You're hard to find.
I've been looking for somebody, seriously, that is like you.
High-energy, fun, I don't have to act pretentious and smart.
- You're yourself.
- I can be myself.
- You get me the most, by far.
- I know.
I'm not worried about that.
I'm worried about the logistical life that we're gonna have together.
I know.
At the end of the day, it does worry me, because these things that we're fighting about, - I'm never gonna change.
- Yeah.
Your stance on those things are never gonna change.
So, are we gonna keep running into a wall, where it's the same argument for the rest of our lives? - Get what I'm saying? - Yeah, I understand.
Yeah.
I want to stay true to my core and my beliefs.
But we can work on that.
I'm willing to compromise on so much other shit that I normally wouldn't, because there's so much I love about you.
I chose Kyle.
I said yes to Kyle, but I can't stop thinking about Shayne.
I can't explain it.
I do have love for Shayne, still at the end of the day.
If it's true love, time reveals all truth.
We will see.
Regardless of him deciding to marry Natalie, I'm here to find my husband, not to take a back seat to Natalie with her feelings for Shayne.
Are you ready for the fight With every single breath? Comes crashing down There's only one Six couples fell in love and got engaged sight unseen.
Now their romantic getaway is over, and they're about to enter the most intense phase of this experiment.
I'm upset.
I don't wanna leave.
No! Oh my God! Go back to the real world.
I know.
- We're heading out.
It is bittersweet.
- We're leaving Mexico.
Ugh.
I'm a very emotional person, so I'm trying not to cry, but I'm also just very excited to - Go to real life.
Back home.
- Yeah, to be in Chicago with him.
Eek! All good things must come to an end, huh? Well, that's kind of a depressing way to say it.
- It is.
 On to chapter three.
- On to the next adventure.
That's what I meant to say.
No more sexy beach rendezvous and cocktails, right? - No, no, no.
- We are throwing them back into reality.
Give me some of your love Give me some of your love It's never enough No, it's never enough Hello.
This is the longest I've gone without talking to you in my entire life.
- Take a look at this.
- No way! Yes, I am engaged.
- It's beautiful! - I know! Put him on.
Oh gosh.
Hi.
You really love her? - She said, "Do you really love her?" - I do.
I really do.
We're engaged! - Wow.
- I can tell.
So excited! They have their devices back and they're headed home - Oh my God.
Got a view of the city.
- Okay.
- Welcome to our home.
- My gosh.
where they're going to be living together in a new shared apartment.
I feel like this is gonna be our real test.
Yeah.
Will they judge each other based upon what they discover in the real world? Will looks, age, race, family, even financial circumstances matter? Hope you like it cold.
They started with love, a true emotional connection.
And now, they are just three weeks away from the altar.
Will they prove that love is blind? We'll find out.
- I brought goods.
- What'd you get? - A little wine for us if you want.
- Ooh.
What are you up to? Finishing up some work? We were gone for almost three weeks.
So I'm trying Buried under a mountain of e-mails.
Back to reality.
I know.
But I was just closing out of everything right now.
- No more work for the night, yeah? - I know.
- There's plenty of time for all that.
- Cheers.
Cheers.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Hey, I know Mm? - Something has been on my mind.
- Do you wanna sit down and talk? I, um Hmm? I know that there's nothing going on with Jarrette or anything like that.
But at the same time, like I guess we never really had an in-depth conversation about it, and I wanted to make sure that whatever did happen that night I mean, if there is something that I need to be concerned about This is something that, like, I felt, like, happened, we talked about, and we were good.
I don't understand where I guess it worried me that you and him were talking for so long and I just read into it.
When we talked before, you were like, "I'm not jealous.
" How did you feel? Honestly, Mal, I don't know if this is me just imagining things.
After you spoke to Jarrette, I thought I heard you say that we don't necessarily have to get married.
It bothered me.
- I would Look, I just - Why is this happening right now? I'm feeling just a little blindsided by all this.
I said if we felt like at the end of this that we weren't ready to get married, then it's okay if then, like, if we don't.
I understand that.
I just didn't understand why that was the first thing that was said when we talked, right after you had spoken to Jarrette.
And I did think that you weren't interested.
In you? Mm-hmm.
And it's not even, like, what was necessarily said, so What was said, then? That's what I heard, and that That's why I freaked out.
You saying we don't necessarily have to get married at the end of all of this.
I guess I didn't think that I had something to worry about in that sense.
The first thing that was said to me after that Jarrette conversation was that.
He did make a little bit of a comment about my ring not being gold.
It could've been after the comment about the ring.
And in my head, I felt like, "Well, I don't know, we're engaged.
" Do you know me, then? Like I don't know.
Like maybe I'm a little bit in my head then too.
Maybe you really don't wanna get married to me.
Maybe.
Why did you propose? Do you want to get married at the end of this? Maybe I was a little bothered that I felt like all the women have exactly the type of ring that they really wanted, or kind of had mentioned.
I didn't know about the ring.
I didn't know it had affected you like that.
I love I love my ring.
It's beautiful and I love it.
I didn't make a big deal about it because it isn't, but I think I got a little bit in my head with that comment and feeling a little, like, slighted.
Sometimes, I just can't tell, like, how much you really care about me.
You are my fiancée and I want to do that.
Look, I know you love your ring, and I could've asked for more details and that's my fault.
At the end of the day, I chose this ring.
- And I wanted to give it to you.
- And I love it.
I don't understand why he would make that comment to you.
- Like, that's not cool.
- Mm-hmm.
Even with your fiancée there, you're still saying this shit about someone else.
You already have another fiancée.
Like, why are you doing this? If we're gonna get married in two weeks, I'm not fucking around.
Okay.
I had things going on yesterday, outside of meeting your family.
I can't do this.
Change is in the wind I mean, I wanna know that you're prioritizing me.
You have my heart.
I wasn't the only one.
My fiancée is tall like Beyoncé You're so cute! I think we should move in together.
The next step.
- I'm engaged.
- Oh my God.
- I'm concerned.
- Do you wanna see the ring? No, I don't wanna see it.
Don't they say you should marry your best friend? But you should also feel that they're more than a best friend.
What the fuck are we doing? Like, I care about you.
Did you guys think you're compatible? That is comical.
We have such big issues.
I think I'm at a breaking point.
I never thought that this would happen to me.
This has the potential to be one of the saddest days of my life.
Holy shit.
You ready for this? No.
We fell in love solely based on who we are on the inside, but I don't know that it is enough.
Now is the time to decide if love is truly blind.
Do you take him to be your husband? Do you take her to be your lawfully wedded wife? I'm falling apart.
This is not how I pictured my wedding day to be ever.
What is going on? Look up into the black of night Where the stars they shine I'll be there Look up into the cloudy sky Where the sun shines through I'll be there
How was it? - It was fun.
Who was there? - Everyone except Kyle and Shaina.
- Oh, really? Yeah.
I mean, everyone was like, "Oh, I bet it's because one of them is an atheist - and one of them is religious.
" Yeah.
- Yeah.
- We saw that coming.
- Yeah, shocker.
They There's something about Sal and Mallory that's, like, really cute, but also, it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't, like, last, but It was - I thought the same - So, I pressed Jarrette a little.
And I was like, "So, here's the differences.
Okay, like What do you think about Mallory?" - Yeah.
- "Like, she's beautiful.
" Did Jarrette react to you? - What did he say? - Yeah, he agreed.
Totally.
- Yeah.
- Kind of, like, reassured.
Not convinced, but I'm a skeptic.
He asked Mallory first if she would say yes.
She said no.
- She cried.
- She cried? Oh, she was sobbing.
She just felt terrible.
But she really likes Sal.
I mean, I wish I was there.
So - I wish you were there too.
- I love you.
But you know what? Hmm? I just wanted to get back with you.
I literally was like, "Can I leave? Can I? Can I?" Yeah.
I mean, you looked like you were having fun.
Looked like? Yeah.
What do you think I was doing out there? I was bored.
- You watched it? - Yeah.
Well, I watched part of it.
Oh, I was talking to the girl about capitalism.
It was - Yeah, I saw that.
- You saw that? - Yes.
- Did you hear me yelling? - What'd you think I was doing? Yes, I did.
- I waved at you.
You didn't wave back.
I was mad.
No, not when you were walking out.
I watched when you were walking towards the beach.
I didn't walk towards the beach.
That wasn't me.
You were walking this way.
Yeah, you were.
So, you were the only person that was there without someone else? - Yes.
- Okay.
It's not that I don't trust you.
I do.
It's that I don't like some situations that are gonna make this not work.
Like today.
Do you know what, though? What didn't work today for us? You and me.
- What's going on in my head.
- About us? - Everything.
- What's going on with us now? There's no penetrating us.
Literally There is.
There's not.
- This stuff is gonna cause big issues.
- You're gonna let it.
- Yes.
- Why? Why does this cause an issue? Because I had three hours to sit here and not do anything but be in my head.
I sat in the closet.
I locked the door.
I shut this, and I sat in the closet and cried.
Do you think anything tonight changed the way that I feel about you? I don't know.
But if I were to leave for three hours and you were to sit in the closet and cry, you'd probably change the way you feel.
Like, if I was the one that was going somewhere.
You have to admit I'm not saying that to make you feel bad.
I just want you to understand where I'm coming from.
I had to be here alone, by myself.
- I told you I didn't have to go.
- For hours.
Do you believe me? Do you trust me? I don't I'm not kidding you, I don't trust anything right now.
- Not even me? - Nothing.
I can't believe you don't trust me at all.
My word doesn't mean anything to you.
- I'm done.
No, I'm done.
- Stop.
Hey.
I'm a little tired of hearing What I should do, what I should say Always being told I have to change - I'm not mad at you - But you're acting mad at me.
You're being toxic and you gotta stop.
You have to start being - I'm not mad about something.
- No.
Stop.
Let me finish, please.
You're not making the active effort to stop the toxicity.
Am I okay? Am I okay? Am I okay? Oh Are you ready for a good time? Oh! Get ready for a good time Are you ready? Ew.
Ew! No.
That's where I draw the line.
- Starting my morning skin care routine.
- Check out my little ring.
Let's go to that.
Look at that bad boy.
Ooh.
Sexy.
I have good taste.
What can I say? Ready for a good time There's something's going on with these healing crystals on my head.
Deeps gave me these.
I have to say, I'm feeling really good.
- And then this one, I'm not a big - It's a heart crystal.
I'm not a fan of this one, because it seems very manufactured.
- Did we get coffee? - Yeah.
- That was a pod promise.
- I know.
I'm a woman of my word.
I can sometimes be mistrusting of men, not only because of the way that I look, but because of situations that have happened in my past.
Thank you.
Because I'm scared they're gonna be constantly seeking out someone else.
And I'm like, "They're always gonna find someone skinnier, hotter.
" And I wanna make sure I'm competing with every single person out there, and they can sense that, and I distrust people who don't deserve that.
A rose by the bed.
You're welcome.
I feel like last night derailed.
So, I was upset, but when I am bubbling up like that, that's not myself.
I get that.
I really get that.
My heart feels like I wanna forgive him and I want him to forgive me.
I want this to be over.
I love, love, love that you made sure that you ordered coffee right away, - while I was sleeping.
- Yeah.
Duh.
Duh, I told you I would.
Typically, we're good at communicating and letting the other person know, but it hasn't really heightened to this level before.
It's an eerie feeling.
Um, it's a new feeling and it sucks.
What are we gonna do today? - You wanna go to the beach? - Oh! Of course you spilled.
- I - Like, "I'm gonna spill.
" - Then, surprise, surprise.
- Ah! - As if it couldn't get any worse in here.
- Okay, no coffee in bed for you.
No! - I'll have to sit over here and drink it.
- Yeah.
I can tell you 100% if we met in real life, and we had an argument like we did last night that early on, that wouldn't have worked.
But because we have this connection and these strong communication skills that we built in the pods, we're able to come back from something like that.
I believe our bond grows stronger and stronger.
I have something I have to tell you.
It's very important.
- Yeah? Mm-hmm.
- I hope it's not a deal-breaker.
- I like long walks on the beach.
- Do you? - How do you feel about them? - I like them.
- It'd be nice to walk on the beach.
- Yeah.
- This here is gorgeous.
- So pretty.
- It's so fucking pretty.
- Oh.
This whole thing.
This makes me feel like I really should've paid attention in Spanish.
- I took seven years.
- Seven? I took four.
I have nothing to show for it, except "cómo está?" - This beach is beautiful.
- I know.
So pretty.
We're at the ocean in Mexico.
Engaged.
Mmm.
- With our whole lives ahead of us.
- I know.
Can you imagine anything better? - No.
- Me neither.
- Eek! Do you love it though? - Yeah.
- Good.
- And you.
I love you.
I love you too.
- You wanna go in the water? - Let's go.
Yeah Spend it with you My favorite, ooh I don't have to pretend When I'm with you I said hey ho Today's gonna be my day-o I said hey ho Today's gonna be my day Everybody loves the sunshine God, this is so pretty.
- You look amazing right now.
- Aw.
Thank you.
So do you.
Oh! Last night, when all the couples met, Mallory and Jarrette were talking for a long time and I did think Mallory wasn't interested in me.
That's why I broke down.
Then when we got back, I just wanted to go to bed.
I know that some people don't like going to sleep angry or upset, but at that point I was emotionally charged.
I didn't want to say anything that I would regret later.
Hey, I know it's Ugh.
Huh.
I don't know, Mal, I I, um I know it's been a lot.
- Mm-hmm.
- Um Like, this whole trip has been a lot, and, um, I know we've hit a couple of little bumps and I just wanted to I guess I just wanted to apologize because I know I I - I just misunderstood.
Um - Mm-hmm.
- I don't feel you meant to call me out.
- We're on the same page.
- I know you called me out already.
- Oh, I'll call you out.
- Oh.
You're lucky.
I would've killed - I know.
Most other people would've probably killed you.
I'm very lucky.
Me too.
I totally get it.
There was a lot going on, a lot of emotions.
It was the first time the guys were seeing all the women and we were seeing all the guys, and we're all in the same room together, and it's just It's a lot.
Um - Yeah.
It's a little nerve-racking.
- Oh, for sure.
And I think, too, like, I don't ever want to make you feel like bad.
I never wanna, like, hurt you.
Me neither.
To you, though.
Yeah.
Jarrette is kind of what I've dated previously.
That's where there was then some type of connection 'cause there was some familiarity with that.
But I know how much Sal cares about me and how much I care about him.
I feel like I do love Sal immensely, and I will always make sure he knows where I stand.
Those are hard conversations and the fact that we're just up to having them together is - Means a lot to me.
- Yeah.
All of this, Mal, is just a choice.
It's a choice.
I want you to be able to choose me at the end of the day.
- Mm-hmm.
- Every day.
- Yeah.
- It's like Because that's what I'm doing.
I wanna choose you.
I want you here 'cause you want to be.
- Yeah.
- And that's why I'm here.
- Same.
- Okay.
Same.
And trust me, I will never be anywhere I don't wanna be.
I really like that about you and I feel like we both have very similar visions of what we want.
Yeah.
Same.
So, to our engagement and whatever new challenges we're gonna face, Mal.
Like - I'm here for it, okay? - Same.
- I know you are too.
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
- So, cheers.
- Prost! - Ooh.
That was such a good cheers.
- What if we broke these glasses? I wouldn't be surprised.
Oh! Mm Mm-mm-mm.
- And you're a good kisser, which is nice.
- Oh my God.
Yo.
This is I'm finally able to put your pod voice to your face right now.
So, today was the first day that I realized I'm just now pairing up your pod voice and your face.
Oh my God, this is so weird.
Yeah, no.
I think I've got it pretty paired now.
- Just happened for me right now.
- How did you even realize that? I'm sitting here listening to you talk, and I'm just looking at you, and it's finally clicking.
Can you deal with this for the rest of your life? - Uh - This is a lot.
Probably not.
After day one, I was ready to run.
I ain't gonna lie.
But, you know I'm just fooling.
I'm gonna beat you up.
I'm gonna beat you up.
I'm just playin'.
Our chemistry is amazing.
Um I feel like I've been with him for at least like five years.
But seeing him talking with Mallory, I mean, I was a little worried that maybe he'd regret his choice.
You're a hater, bruh.
I really do trust him.
He's a grown man.
What would break my heart is if he, like, lied to me.
Like, if he lied to me, that's a deal-breaker for me.
I don't like being lied to.
That's a no-go.
And cheating is also a huge no-go.
When I get in a new relationship, it's almost immediately, I just like immediately cut off certain relationships out of For me, it's out of respect for my new relationship.
- Oh Lord.
- Are you still friends with your exes? I'm not a big fan of burning bridges, because you never know Why do you call it burning bridges? I just call it boundaries.
- No, I call it boundaries.
- There's boundaries within exes.
But it's also like, you never know who you're gonna need down the line.
You don't need an ex.
She can be somewhere in HR, and I'm trying to get in HR and she's looking for a position to hire and I'm like - No.
That'd be like, "No, thank you.
" - You never know though.
Just so accepting.
I mean, I also wouldn't be communicating with my ex every damn day.
She would know that I'm married.
So, I would - There's boundaries I wouldn't cross.
- Would she be okay with that? She has to be.
The hell? It's also on me to navigate that, you know I'm glad you recognize that.
I'd hate to have to point that out.
That's not comfortable.
No, I 'Cause I'm really big on observation and just reading body language.
Mm-hmm.
So, if I'm worried, then there's an issue, but I have to see it.
Would you say something in the moment? If you were worried? No.
Honestly, you probably wouldn't even be able to tell in the moment if I'm worried or not.
It'd be after the fact, like, "Hey, babe, I don't That makes me uncomfortable.
" - I can't force you to do anything.
- Mmm.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
I mean, 'cause I just feel like if you said something to me and you felt strongly about it, then I would do the necessary things to make sure you're comfortable within the situation.
I appreciate it.
I wouldn't be like, "Well, I don't care how you feel.
" I wouldn't do that.
I'm trusting your words, but I also need to see it in action.
Okay.
This is love that I'm feeling for you - Your first cenote.
Ready? - My first cenote! - Here we are.
- I'm so excited.
You know, the ancient Incans say that each cenote - Yeah? - has a spirit of its own.
Ooh.
I love that.
This is a vibe! Do you hear the cave echo? Oh, that's some good acoustics.
- Oh, dude, this is - Babe, this is dope.
- Holy shit.
- This is a vibe right here.
Oh my God.
Is it a fish? - Yep, that is a fish.
- I mean, I know it's a fish, but I know it's your first cenote, but Come on.
Really pumped to show Deeps this cenote.
They're really, really vibey underground caves.
My first ever cenote.
Her very first cenote.
It's a vibey one, honestly.
- I'm liking this aesthetic.
- No one here.
The last time I was at one was actually for a music festival that Diplo was at.
Definitely a different type of cenote experience than the one we're going to today, but I'm excited.
I wanna jump in so badly.
I love going out and doing things.
Deeps seems to be that type of person too, so just having the opportunity to go on a mini-adventure together is awesome.
This is our cenote! Yeah.
This is a strong enough connection to fight for and I need to do everything in my power to see if I can bring that missing element in our relationship.
- Ready? - Ready? One, two, three.
In the light of day Wow.
Look at this.
Like a tidal wave Crashing all around me Smile.
Amazing.
How was it? It's nice! - Ooh, yeah! Nice! - Yeah, that was a good That was a sexy dolphin type of thing you did.
I like it.
Oh boy.
- That was fun, right? - So fun.
We could be giants We could be giants She's all right as she's dirty dancing She's all right as she's dirty dancing One desire, she's dirty dancing Sallory in the house! Hey! What's up, guy? - Hold on, wait, guys.
- Group hug? Y'all ready to play some volleyball? I got Nick.
- Oh! Number one draft pick! Yeah! - Who'd you pick? - I'll take heart over height.
- You guys do your thing.
- I'm just gonna watch.
- Hey.
Take your shirts off.
We're doing this.
Yeah.
Sal, come on.
Finally, she says that! - Actually, put it back on.
I'm good.
- Know what? Play shirts and skins.
I'm the referee.
I am so bad at sports.
The game is starting right now! I am terrified of balls coming my way.
I feel We are, we are on the Same team! We're playing for keeps Because we're on the same team Shayne looks hot as shit.
That is not a good way to describe him.
Oh, I'm going right for this one.
Oh, yeah.
- Natalie, what are you doing? - Get back here! I hate sports.
- Go, sexy! - Go, sports! I will not take an L for anything! Let's go! Pick it up! Whoa! Nope.
Our kids are in deep trouble.
Oh my God.
We can be as free as we feel Natalie.
What? I'm just taking a break.
Let's go! Ah! I don't know who let me on that volleyball court.
We won! Woo! - Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
What's gonna happen? - Oh no! - Oh, oh, oh! - Ah! - And there it is.
- Almost there and then he falls.
My water shoes failed me.
I tripped before I got to the water.
I got salt water in my eyes, so my contact was, like, burning and I couldn't see.
Memorable, for sure.
Feeling like a weight Has been lifted right off of my chest Look at this scene.
Oh my God.
Oh yeah.
They're being such bros.
Look at them bonding.
There's a solid bromance.
Oh my God.
They're such extroverts.
Whoo-hoo-hoo! Oh shit! It's adorable.
Oh, hey.
You're so extra.
What I do? Everything.
I don't think I realized just how extroverted you were.
You're like the most extroverted.
- Is it a problem? - It's not too much.
I'm just worried you'll more so be annoyed at how opposite I am.
- How you just sitting down and - Mm-hmm.
Does that bother you? No, but that's also like I'll ask you if you want to come out.
And I'll say no.
- This is what I'm like when I go out.
- No, that's fine.
- Wait.
How's it been going, though? - Been going really well.
- Are you comfortable around him? - Yeah.
So comfortable.
I think everyone looks really good together.
I was gonna say, I think all the boys are like really good-looking.
- Yeah.
I think they're so cute, honestly.
- Yeah.
But I think we, as women, are out of their league - Yeah.
- But that's just me.
It's so funny.
It's funny to see the dynamics of all the couples.
I think just meeting Jarrette.
Jarrette was like Kind of like, "Uh" Like, you know He had definitely dated up until the end.
- Come on, child.
- Get me up.
Was it awkward? Yeah, it was like it was awkward.
It was a little awkward.
It was just so much all at once, you know.
I'm overwhelmed.
Sorry.
Oh my - I love the wavy hair.
It's so sexy.
- I know! It looks so good.
 I told her.
That's so funny 'cause that's not what you said last night.
Just kidding.
Yeah, you don't remember what you did last night.
I love that thing, though.
- Do you want to be murdered? - I Natalie-lee You are the one for me We'll have a kid or three Oh.
Like six.
Whee! Nick and Danielle look like opposite human beings.
Yeah, but opposites attract.
Do you think we're way different than I think we are.
- We're very similar people.
- I think we have different energy levels.
Yeah, but no one is on my energy level.
No one will ever be able to match that.
I know, but because I'm a little bit introverted, I think I don't get energy from people.
It's like it sucks it out of me.
Yes.
So, do I suck every little bit out of you? No.
Of course not.
So, should I save something for later on, so we can have some more fun in the area that I want to have more energy in? - Oh, what? Beach volleyball? - No, in the bedroom.
I am not talking about it.
What the fuck?! Come on.
I was gonna make you put me on your shoulders.
I'll do it right now.
- Oh, no, nope, nope, nope.
- Ah! Got it! - Oh.
There we go.
Yeah? - You've got it! Not a big deal.
Yes! You can do it! - Got you! - Let me down! - Whoa.
Oh God.
- Please, gently, Shakey.
- Slowly, gently.
You'll never believe - I'm already halfway down.
Okay, I got you.
Let her go gently.
- He did.
I'm impressed.
- He did it.
- I didn't think he'd be strong enough.
- Yeah, sometimes we surprise ourselves.
No one thought it was possible.
Yeah.
I'm very curious to see how Deeps and Shake end up.
Why? Well, Shake said that he was not at all interested in Deeps, sexually.
- That's fucked up.
- That's really fucked up.
What did you say? I try to stay out of that drama, so I told him about how much great stuff we've done.
Goddamn it.
Tell me about you and Danielle.
Like, you guys I feel like you guys had such a frigging connection and you told each other you loved each other so quickly.
- It felt like, right? - Yeah, five days.
You know, you know.
That's how I feel! I will say that it's been really fun, and we've been having a really good time.
That's good.
I think Mexico has helped us connect in a lot of ways.
We've built such a deep connection.
Have you been physical? A little bit, but we both stopped ourself from getting there, even though we wanted to, completely.
By the way, gettin' married.
- Are you physically attracted to him? - Absolutely.
He's the first brown man I've ever kissed in my entire life.
Really? What was your first kiss like? - It was great.
- I can't imagine.
My gosh, the emotional connection we made and the foundation that we built was very strong.
Me and Shake can talk romantically, and try to see if we can get there.
- You know, you know, right? - You know, you know.
I'm breaking down for you I'm spitting truth to you Sometimes late's better than never And I know no one ever Is gonna love you like I do - Cheers! - Cheers.
- Wait, this is so good.
- It is good.
Best food we've eaten in Mexico so far? Go.
Tacos.
- Thank you.
Street tacos.
Those were fire.
- Mm-hmm.
But that's what I'm super excited about.
In the pods, we talked about a lot of cool things.
We're like, "We're adventurous.
We can go and do things," but actually doing it with you and just like living in the moment.
Took the words out of my mouth.
You're already taking the words out of my mouth.
Yeah.
That's exactly where my mind's at right now too.
That does worry me, though.
Honestly.
- What? Hmm? - If I'm being really honest.
I think we've been on this kind of fairy-tale vacation.
Mm-hmm.
But, I'm kind of approaching a point in my life where I'm gonna have to grind.
Mm-hmm.
You know, I'm opening a business.
I'm opening an animal hospital.
It does make me nervous because I love to have a good time, but I have a lot of responsibility coming up.
Yeah.
In the back of my mind, I think about that all the time.
It's like, when we get back to reality, when we start to integrate our lives together, when we start living together, how is it all gonna play out? And I'm here to support you in this career-oriented journey that you're on.
And I understand it, because now is the time to grind.
Now is the time when you're young and you have that energy to put everything you have into your career, so that you can enjoy your life later.
I don't think everybody fully realizes that.
You really capture my thoughts and feelings so well.
I would love to be there with you on that journey.
Honestly, it means a lot to hear that.
I honestly feel like you have my back more than anyone else I've ever met.
I don't know that I took part in this experiment looking for what I have right now, which is an amazing, supportive woman who's kinda there for me.
I mean, saying it back, it sounds like Obviously, duh, you should be looking for that, but I don't know that those qualities have been the hallmark of my previous relationships.
It's not like this lusty, physical relationship like I've had in the past or looked for, but I think this could be exactly what I need.
Maybe we focus less on what could go wrong and focus more on what could go right? Yeah.
I like that a lot.
At this point, I can't wait to move in together.
It'll be awesome.
- I think it's gonna be a lot of fun.
- I'm excited for it all.
- To the next chapter.
- Cheers.
To the next chapter.
So, am I allowed to put you as my emergency contact now? I'm the best emergency contact, because I answer right away.
- We go home tomorrow.
- I know.
What am I gonna cook for you? Can't think of anything sexier than a Salisbury steak.
- I don't even know what's Honestly - It's meatloaf and gravy.
- Is that what Salisbury steak is? - It's basically meatloaf.
Meatloaf is not sexy.
I can't wait to make your dog like me more than he likes you.
It won't take much.
He's such a sellout.
But I'm literally gonna train him to like me more than you.
I'm telling you, you won't have to train him.
- He'll literally go - I'm so excited.
He will come say hi to me and then he'll run to you.
- Like, ah, I can't wait.
- And I can't wait for you to meet him.
My cat, maybe not so much.
Are her and Grayson gonna get along? Mm? - Yeah.
- Grayson doesn't like other dogs.
I don't know how he's gonna feel about cats.
I don't think Grayson is gonna be down for that.
Um - I'm excited to see your place though.
- Yeah, my place is pretty nice.
What are you most worried about? I do wanna know.
Sometimes I don't see it coming.
It's like a freight train out of nowhere.
I'm scared that you'll think that how I've been acting is how I'm gonna act for the rest of our lives, and it's not.
It's not like that.
I just had a panic attack.
I'm I'm, like, really scared of you judging me for how I was when I was going through that.
And you The way that you're looking at me right now, I can tell you are judging me for it.
- I'm not judging you for it.
- Yeah.
I'm not judging you.
I'm trying to understand, and I'm trying to support.
Yeah, no, and I believe you when you say that.
I just think You don't give me a lot to work with.
It's just like the way that you're responding to me makes me feel worse.
- A lot worse.
- I'm trying to understand.
- I know.
- Like, I don't know how to handle it.
Yeah.
And then if I try and you get more angry, then it's like, "What do I do?" Yeah.
You don't We don't know how to navigate each other in those situations yet.
- And that's what's a huge thing.
- I'm trying.
I know you are.
 I know you are.
I genuinely do trust you, and I know that your intentions are always good.
Like, I don't ever want you to think that I'm not thinking that.
When it's so heavy you can't hold it Yep.
I'm by my man When you You hit the bottom Night is gone I'll catch you on the way down I'll catch you on the way down I'll catch you on the way down I'll catch you on the way down I'll catch you on the way down After you.
This is really cute, though.
This trip has been the best.
Just seeing his smile, and just the way he hugs me and the way he holds my hand.
It just, like, took our relationship to a whole new level.
It's so crazy that the wedding's three weeks away and I can't wait to get to the married part.
I'm so happy.
- Cheers.
- To our first dinner date.
- Oh my gosh.
Yeah! - Look at that full glass you got too.
You gonna drink it all? - Oh, that's fantastic.
- What? What is it? - It's really good.
- What is it? What is it? - It's really good.
- What is it? - I can't talk with food in my mouth! - Sorry.
Okay.
- I'm trying to be respectful.
- Yeah.
- Are you excited to go back home? - Mm-hmm.
I'm anxious about it.
I think, um - Just having the conversations.
- With your parents and everything? - And your mom too, siblings.
- My mom will be fine with it.
- I know, but it's also - You gonna wear that red dress for my mom? - Why would I wear that for your mom? - Why? I mean, it's sexy.
- What? - I like it.
No, I'm gonna wear a frickin' turtleneck in the middle of the summer.
I might wear an entire just, like, zip-up onesie, honestly.
Are you happy with everything that's been going on the last couple days? Besides me, like, ripping out your soul with all my energy? Is there anything else? Or no? That's who I am.
I can't help that.
When you're with your guy friends, it's like a whole 'nother level.
Yeah.
I think in that way we're different people.
Don't think we have to work on it.
Just something I have to get used to.
- Yeah.
- It is who you are.
So, I think it's fine.
- That's the person you love, right? - Yeah.
Oh! Could you give me a little more love than that or no? I was like, "Yeah.
" Yeah.
You You gotta give our relationship a little more credit.
Yeah, it's not like I don't.
I'm just saying, like You joke a lot about our relationship.
How often do you say how good it is? But, like, why do I have to? Why do we need to talk about how great it is with other people? Because we both joke around with each other a lot, right? But, honestly, I brag all the time about us.
I know and I want to too, but it's just not my style.
- Why are you getting defensive over it? - I'm not.
No, I'm not.
Sorry.
It was the way you were raising your voice at me.
It was weird.
Are you upset that I don't brag about our relationship? No, I'm not upset about it.
I'm just like Why can't you brag about it? You don't brag about your purses, your coats, you brag about how a guy treats you? That's something you should brag about.
I just show my love differently.
I think you have such high expectations.
Yeah, I'm not about PDA.
I'm not gonna always be, like, super affectionate with you.
It's I didn't ask that question.
You're really freaking out at me right now, I feel like.
I'm not fr Did I raise my voice? I'm having a conversation with you.
I know.
I'm just like shutting down during it right now.
Living in a crowded dream Searching for the quiet That you need to breathe Gave up on your sanity To hide behind your shadow While you tried to take the sun down I'm done.
I'm the fuck out of here.
Heading back with only one way Trying to stop from running But you can't wait Bury all the evidence You'll only learn When you crash and burn Well, well, well.
- Oh my God, hi! - Hi.
How are you? How are you? Been waiting a while? - This far.
- Yeah, I know.
So.
Where's your ring? You're being weird.
- I'm not being weird.
- You're being weird.
Well, I don't know where we're standing.
I don't know where we're at.
I'm just confused.
I just was not comfortable spending the night together.
- Yeah.
- Sharing a bed.
- It was moving too fast.
- Oh, yeah.
It did freak me out.
- Hi! - Hi.
- Thank you.
- Oh, it's beautiful.
Looks so good.
- Enjoy.
- Thank you so much.
I thought about what it'd be like to be married to you.
It was - What did you - I got excited.
I'm not gonna let go and give up that easy on us.
You're hard to find.
I've been looking for somebody, seriously, that is like you.
High-energy, fun, I don't have to act pretentious and smart.
- You're yourself.
- I can be myself.
- You get me the most, by far.
- I know.
I'm not worried about that.
I'm worried about the logistical life that we're gonna have together.
I know.
At the end of the day, it does worry me, because these things that we're fighting about, - I'm never gonna change.
- Yeah.
Your stance on those things are never gonna change.
So, are we gonna keep running into a wall, where it's the same argument for the rest of our lives? - Get what I'm saying? - Yeah, I understand.
Yeah.
I want to stay true to my core and my beliefs.
But we can work on that.
I'm willing to compromise on so much other shit that I normally wouldn't, because there's so much I love about you.
I chose Kyle.
I said yes to Kyle, but I can't stop thinking about Shayne.
I can't explain it.
I do have love for Shayne, still at the end of the day.
If it's true love, time reveals all truth.
We will see.
Regardless of him deciding to marry Natalie, I'm here to find my husband, not to take a back seat to Natalie with her feelings for Shayne.
Are you ready for the fight With every single breath? Comes crashing down There's only one Six couples fell in love and got engaged sight unseen.
Now their romantic getaway is over, and they're about to enter the most intense phase of this experiment.
I'm upset.
I don't wanna leave.
No! Oh my God! Go back to the real world.
I know.
- We're heading out.
It is bittersweet.
- We're leaving Mexico.
Ugh.
I'm a very emotional person, so I'm trying not to cry, but I'm also just very excited to - Go to real life.
Back home.
- Yeah, to be in Chicago with him.
Eek! All good things must come to an end, huh? Well, that's kind of a depressing way to say it.
- It is.
 On to chapter three.
- On to the next adventure.
That's what I meant to say.
No more sexy beach rendezvous and cocktails, right? - No, no, no.
- We are throwing them back into reality.
Give me some of your love Give me some of your love It's never enough No, it's never enough Hello.
This is the longest I've gone without talking to you in my entire life.
- Take a look at this.
- No way! Yes, I am engaged.
- It's beautiful! - I know! Put him on.
Oh gosh.
Hi.
You really love her? - She said, "Do you really love her?" - I do.
I really do.
We're engaged! - Wow.
- I can tell.
So excited! They have their devices back and they're headed home - Oh my God.
Got a view of the city.
- Okay.
- Welcome to our home.
- My gosh.
where they're going to be living together in a new shared apartment.
I feel like this is gonna be our real test.
Yeah.
Will they judge each other based upon what they discover in the real world? Will looks, age, race, family, even financial circumstances matter? Hope you like it cold.
They started with love, a true emotional connection.
And now, they are just three weeks away from the altar.
Will they prove that love is blind? We'll find out.
- I brought goods.
- What'd you get? - A little wine for us if you want.
- Ooh.
What are you up to? Finishing up some work? We were gone for almost three weeks.
So I'm trying Buried under a mountain of e-mails.
Back to reality.
I know.
But I was just closing out of everything right now.
- No more work for the night, yeah? - I know.
- There's plenty of time for all that.
- Cheers.
Cheers.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Hey, I know Mm? - Something has been on my mind.
- Do you wanna sit down and talk? I, um Hmm? I know that there's nothing going on with Jarrette or anything like that.
But at the same time, like I guess we never really had an in-depth conversation about it, and I wanted to make sure that whatever did happen that night I mean, if there is something that I need to be concerned about This is something that, like, I felt, like, happened, we talked about, and we were good.
I don't understand where I guess it worried me that you and him were talking for so long and I just read into it.
When we talked before, you were like, "I'm not jealous.
" How did you feel? Honestly, Mal, I don't know if this is me just imagining things.
After you spoke to Jarrette, I thought I heard you say that we don't necessarily have to get married.
It bothered me.
- I would Look, I just - Why is this happening right now? I'm feeling just a little blindsided by all this.
I said if we felt like at the end of this that we weren't ready to get married, then it's okay if then, like, if we don't.
I understand that.
I just didn't understand why that was the first thing that was said when we talked, right after you had spoken to Jarrette.
And I did think that you weren't interested.
In you? Mm-hmm.
And it's not even, like, what was necessarily said, so What was said, then? That's what I heard, and that That's why I freaked out.
You saying we don't necessarily have to get married at the end of all of this.
I guess I didn't think that I had something to worry about in that sense.
The first thing that was said to me after that Jarrette conversation was that.
He did make a little bit of a comment about my ring not being gold.
It could've been after the comment about the ring.
And in my head, I felt like, "Well, I don't know, we're engaged.
" Do you know me, then? Like I don't know.
Like maybe I'm a little bit in my head then too.
Maybe you really don't wanna get married to me.
Maybe.
Why did you propose? Do you want to get married at the end of this? Maybe I was a little bothered that I felt like all the women have exactly the type of ring that they really wanted, or kind of had mentioned.
I didn't know about the ring.
I didn't know it had affected you like that.
I love I love my ring.
It's beautiful and I love it.
I didn't make a big deal about it because it isn't, but I think I got a little bit in my head with that comment and feeling a little, like, slighted.
Sometimes, I just can't tell, like, how much you really care about me.
You are my fiancée and I want to do that.
Look, I know you love your ring, and I could've asked for more details and that's my fault.
At the end of the day, I chose this ring.
- And I wanted to give it to you.
- And I love it.
I don't understand why he would make that comment to you.
- Like, that's not cool.
- Mm-hmm.
Even with your fiancée there, you're still saying this shit about someone else.
You already have another fiancée.
Like, why are you doing this? If we're gonna get married in two weeks, I'm not fucking around.
Okay.
I had things going on yesterday, outside of meeting your family.
I can't do this.
Change is in the wind I mean, I wanna know that you're prioritizing me.
You have my heart.
I wasn't the only one.
My fiancée is tall like Beyoncé You're so cute! I think we should move in together.
The next step.
- I'm engaged.
- Oh my God.
- I'm concerned.
- Do you wanna see the ring? No, I don't wanna see it.
Don't they say you should marry your best friend? But you should also feel that they're more than a best friend.
What the fuck are we doing? Like, I care about you.
Did you guys think you're compatible? That is comical.
We have such big issues.
I think I'm at a breaking point.
I never thought that this would happen to me.
This has the potential to be one of the saddest days of my life.
Holy shit.
You ready for this? No.
We fell in love solely based on who we are on the inside, but I don't know that it is enough.
Now is the time to decide if love is truly blind.
Do you take him to be your husband? Do you take her to be your lawfully wedded wife? I'm falling apart.
This is not how I pictured my wedding day to be ever.
What is going on? Look up into the black of night Where the stars they shine I'll be there Look up into the cloudy sky Where the sun shines through I'll be there
