What if I come here and everyone's like, "That girl has an unattractive voice."
And that's all I have right now.
I have a dirt bike too, just to top it off.
I wish I looked like J. Lo. - Hello? -
- Uh, I work in real estate.
'Cause I feel like you have to be somewhat attractive to sell a lot.
There's a lot of shallow people in this world.
Is that a normal question to ask?
You have to ask all the questions up front, okay?
Obviously, I have, like, a lot of friends.
I think I'm really good at these pods because, like, with my job, I have, like, five to, like, 20 people in my car, like, at a time.
I get along best with individuals that do work out.
I was born in India, and then I moved here when I was eight.
My serious relationships, they've all been... blonde.
I just remember moving to America, seeing two things for the first time.
And I felt the same way when I saw both.
Figured I should just get that out there right away.
- You could just... - Do what you want with that info? - Exactly.
- You've never dated an Indian girl? -
I've actually only dated white guys before.
We're both brown people that only date white people.
If we were to be at a music festival, do you like being on a guy's shoulders?
But, um, will I have trouble picking you up?
Um... Shake doesn't understand how Love Is Blind has to work.
The whole point is about finding out who we are as people, not, "Can you carry me?"
The conversation was so good, I didn't realize where we are.
Hi. - Hey. - Hi. - Hi.
Oh my God, it went so well.
We all came here saying we feel like we're ready for marriage.
There are conversations that I was having in seven minutes where I felt like I learned more about that person than some people who I maybe dated for two months.
Which is kind of crazy to think about.
Mystery man's probably not the one if you can't remember anything about it.
You literally made an Excel spreadsheet on your notebook.
Danielle and I have the same idea of brunch, and that's something I'm really looking for.
I feel like there are gonna be a lot of people that have tops that are gonna be similar.
I mean, you can tell which ones are outstanding, yeah.
Immediately, I knew me and Shayne wouldn't be a good fit.
I would be so annoyed by the end of a date.
Shake was another one I was like, "Okay, that's not gonna work."
Kyle, but he's a little mischievous thing.
So I was like, "I don't know."
I have people that I definitely didn't vibe with.
I have people I definitely vibed with, and then I have ten in the middle, that I have no idea.
I actually do really want this bagel.
I burnt myself with a straightener on my forehead.
So, I'm trying to cover it, but it's not covering.
Guess they don't even see us anyway.
I've been on a lot of online dates.
One time, I went on a date with a guy who wore jean shorts.
He doesn't have my style of dress, and...
and I just assumed that it wouldn't go well because we didn't have dress styles in common, which is a silly thing to say, and it's so stupid.
It's not gonna help me find the love of my life.
Who cares what the love of my life wears, right?
At the end of the day, it matters how his personality fits with mine.
I think the big pivotal moment for me where I really thought, "I want to find my one, I want to be married" is watching my grandfather take care of my grandmother with Alzheimer's.
When I saw just the unconditional love and support he gives her, I remember thinking, like, "I want that."
I want someone who will love me regardless of the condition I am in or my weaknesses and flaws.
I don't want to be at age 80 and be alone and not have experienced that type of love.
- Who am I speaking to? - Natalie.
- I'm so excited I'm talking to you.
I wrote this down in my notes yesterday, but I was like, I think I put a star by your name because I wanted to continue our conversation.
The vibe I had for you is, like, it was so easy to talk to you, and it was, like, so smooth and so fluid, and I just liked your energy.
I feed off of energy and I feed off of, you know, just, like, I can tell from the tone of people's voices if they're interested, or, you know, it's their personality.
Not to toot my own horn, but I feel like I'm good at it, so it's a fit, skill-wise.
Please toot your own horn much as possible.
Honestly, that is the most attractive thing.
Like, there's a difference between, like, being cocky and arrogance, but, like... you should be proud of what you've done, and you should be confident in who you are.
I know you said you have your own real estate business.
So I'm sure you do it a lot more, but, for work events or networking events.
I mean, I think it's important that I have a husband that can hold his own.
I think about, at the end of this, we could have fiancés.
So it's not even like, "My boyfriend."
I mean, like, the fact I can marry you or someone else... Hold on.
Let's just focus on this guy right here.
Dude, you give me the words of that, man, I, like, my ego goes through the roof.
I love the energy I get from people.
I just can't sit behind a desk all day and just look at an Excel sheet.
Some of these guys are very good at that, but me, I need to be in front of people, feed off of their energy.
I didn't think my confidence could go higher, but it did.
In the dating world, the past couple of years is just...
Their idea of flirting is poking fun.
Instantly knew when I walked in that door.
I think I'm a huge tool, 100%.
At the same time, I have a really kind heart and I really am passionate about just life and who I am.
And I feel like there's a lot more to me that, you know, meets the eye.
I hope all the girls can see that too.
- Hello? - Hello. - Hi. - Hi.
Hi, Shaina. - Is this Shayne? -
The only voice I can really diffy-entiate, or whatever the word is, was your voice.
Honestly, it's fantastic that I walked in and you already knew who I was.
I think physical attraction is definitely important, but when you emotionally connect with that person, they're automatically attractive.
You could be a seven or even a five.
If I find them so funny and emotionally attractive and they have such a good heart, they become more physically attractive.
Like, dude, actually, the average height is 5' 7" for a man.
And honestly, I don't want a ten, okay?
You don't want all the other women after your man.
As we get older, we get wiser.
- What do you want in a wife?
- Someone very secure of who they are.
I'm very, very good at reassuring how I feel about someone.
We all have our insecurities, but tell me I'm fabulous once in a while, I can walk off feeling happy with my day.
You'll never have a problem with me doing that.
Like, "Oh babe, your ass looks good in those jeans!"
That'll surprise me and stuff like that too... -
I feel like compliments are so rare these days.
- Especially with people you care about.
People, because of my personality, they assume I get compliments 24/7, and it couldn't be farther from the opposite.
If I came up to you, out of the blue, and said something like, "I love your eyes...
But it would come off creepy, for some people.
- Lots of girls find it creepy.
I just look at the good in people, and why not tell them, you know?
- You're very dynamic, which is good.
You're never gonna expect what comes out of my mouth next.
Honestly, this has been a fantastic conversation.
Right now, I'm kind of digging Shayne.
I don't know what he looks like.
He just seems like this big teddy bear.
You can tell he has such a good heart and, like, Shayne and Shaina?
I'm a tongue to your uvula type.
- All right, you really went to it.
I don't know why I get so horny when I'm hungover.
Well, I really, really like one guy.
I'm kind of nervous that he's gonna get vibes from the other guys because the other guys... I think a lot of the other guys like me.
You know, some are in serious relationships, some are seeing multiple people.
It's really hard for me to really understand why a girl like me doesn't have a boyfriend or a hook-up, or even someone I'm talking to.
Scale of one to ten, I'm a catch.
But there's another girl that's really interested in him.
Is the girl's name Holly or Molly? - Danielle.
And she said that Nick told her that she's his number one, but she's also tied with another number one.
Pretty sure that other number one is me
and I felt a little relieved, because I don't think she's that much of a competition compared to me.
What do you mean she's not competition?
I just started talking shit about everybody else.
I don't think I should tell you guys that I'm doing that.
Why you guys are all so excited to talk to me?
Not trying to sound conceited, but it's like all you guys are going after me.
- Don't tell 'em I said that.
- No, I'm not gonna say a word.
Whatever you say in these pods, it is safe with me.
What do you do on the weekends?
I usually hang out with my friends on Saturday.
I would love somebody who'd work out with me.
I have a lot of Instagram followers that see how hard I hit the gym.
I think sometimes, like, girls or people get a little intimidated by how much I work out.
That they might not be able to keep up.
What are you looking for in a girl?
For me, at the end of the day, if I want to see this person every day, if I'm okay just sitting on the couch, if they're okay sitting with me.
My biggest critique of dating apps, but just dating in general, is there's this illusion of endless opportunity and endless options.
For some reason, I don't really do online apps.
I'm going on dates with these people that, like, I don't know at all.
I don't want to, like, waste my time and my calories.
- Wow. - As selfish as that is.
I'm trying to not visualize anyone in my head, because I'm trying to understand, is this someone I can spend the rest of my life with, or is this someone that I can have, you know, maybe a good time with?
And what I really need to do is find someone that is both.
I have done so many things in my life that I wanted to do.
I'm the first person in my family to graduate college.
I have a great career, I have a condo, and the one thing I've been missing is finding someone to share all that with.
And that's a really important reason why I'm here.
I was a young girl, actually, probably like sixth grade.
I was walking home from school one day, and this guy that I really liked, I was flirting with him, and I heard him turn around and be like, "This girl's fat."
It's weird because it was so long ago and I was so young... Let me in! ...
but now every interaction I have with someone, I'm so scared they'll be like, "Her arms look big, her stomach looks big."
I still always will look in the mirror and see that little fat girl.
That's why I'm very excited to see, are people gonna like me for who I am and I'm hoping once they do get to know me, they'll think I'm beautiful, regardless of what my weight might be.
I always look forward to talking to you, but then I'm like, "He's gonna forget about me."
Because I'm scared that every other date that you have will go better than ours.
Like, there's been a long history of divorce in my family.
There is no relationship I've witnessed that has been successful.
Am I going to be following in the footsteps of everyone else in my family?
They've been divorced since I was five.
Almost every relationship I've witnessed has ended in divorce.
I've been in relationships with a guy who ends up making me feel insecure.
I was dating a guy who every time he was laying next to me in bed, he'd scroll through his phone and all I'd see were girls that were, like...
And so, I would get so, like, in my head about that.
And growing up, I was a lot heavier.
I didn't even wanna tell you that.
I'm so scared people will be like, "What if she gets back to that?"
I have to tell you, like, I was a little chunky when I was a kid.
But really, college was where I... I was, like, getting into health and making sure I work out.
I'm not, like, a gym rat, by any means.
I'm on the slimmer side of the dad bod.
He has no idea I'm not still 200 pounds.
He has to trust that he'll love me for who I am because he has no idea what size I am.
He doesn't know if I'm still heavier, still overweight.
He just knows that I have been heavier.
So for someone to pull that story out of me within such a short period of time, it shows how comfortable I am with him and how comfortable he makes me feel.
I think your partner needs to be your best friend.
The number one, most important thing is making sure it's someone you wanna spend every waking second with.
I've been in relationships like, "This is my best friend," and I've been in relationships like, "I wouldn't be best friends."
That's why I don't feel as passionately about them as someone else, because it doesn't click that way.
I just want to be by you.
It's hard for me right now not to be, like... touching when I'm talking to you.
I find myself, like, petting the couch instead.
- How many more are you doing?
You don't work in the corporate world, you own your own thing.
People who work in the corporate world, I feel there's a little brainwash in them.
They talk like they're in a TED Talk.
There is such a narrow way of thinking.
When you're in the corporate world, they'll program your brain where you'll be like, "Guys, you know what?"
I do sense a lot of that in there.
- It's why I'm hyper-aware of all of that.
I came to Love Is Blind because people are very materialistic.
I've been rejected in the past because I don't have that fancy white collar job.
I'm kind of rough around the edges.
I believe the right woman will fall in love with me, because she'll understand my stupid humor and dumb jokes.
And the fact that I don't need fancy things.
- I love how you say my name.
- You probably have the best voice here.
Cut my finger open, I was bleeding everywhere.
You wanna know where I got it from?
- You making fun of me? -
- I like when you do that.
My dad's a contractor and my brothers all work for my dad.
After how hard you guys work your asses off?
I feel we have a bond now.
You think I'm rough around the edges?
- Aw. - "Aw." - Here's a good scenario.
I work outside and it's fucking freezing.
We lay on the couch, I'll rub your feet.
My mom's the best person in the world.
- That's how I feel about my mom.
That means they did something right with you.
- Are you ready for marriage? -
He was honestly, like, very, very, very, very, very controlling.
We called off the wedding, like, 40 days before the wedding.
It was probably the craziest time of my life, but I grew a lot.
And it makes you happier now, right?
I now know who I am and what I want.
Right now, like, my top two are Kyle and Shayne.
Probably one of the funniest people I've ever met.
But with Shayne, he definitely has that energy that kind of draws you in.
And I feel like we do have the same vision for what we would want in a marriage.
- Hello. - Hello. - Shaina. - Hi, Shayne.
Shaina matches my energy, and gets me excited.
And never got the vibe that she's judging me.
I appreciate that, because my mouth gets me in trouble a lot.
Yesterday was more fun and casual, but today I want to, like, get deep.
I'm gonna get deep inside of your thoughts right now.
I'm wearing, like, these cute jogger slacks with a crop top.
- Oh, I love crop tops so much.
- Do you love a crop top?
Just enough to tease you a little bit
- Okay, so I'm a very sexual person.
So, like, I would ideally like every day.
- Five times a day, at least... - My God!
He was asking me, you know what I'm saying?
Like, I'm like, "If you can handle it, let's go all day."
Let's fuck around, do stuff like that.
I don't know if you can keep up.
Is there a way to elaborate, or you gonna keep me going to bed now just dreaming... - I'm gonna keep you dreaming.
This wall needs to go away right now.
I'm at this point where it's like dating two people, and I'm getting serious feelings.
With Shaina, it's flirty fun, like sexiness.
It is a roller coaster of emotions.
With Natalie, it feels way more emotionally stimulating.
There is playfulness in it, but there's also a good balance of, like, seriousness too.
Do you think that you're ready for marriage?
I think about that all the time, because my father passed away a few months ago.
I don't remember the last conversation I had with him.
So it was very difficult to process that and everything, but it made me stop and realize that life is short and this is what I want.
And I'm ready to find someone and commit to someone because I want my mom to see my wedding.
I want my mom to have grandchildren and I want her to be able to be a part of that, and see that.
I'm looking for someone that's gonna challenge me and make me a better person.
I see it in my brother and his fiancée, and I want that euphoria you get from providing for someone, and just having someone by your side.
- And I can't wait to have that.
Your honesty gives me affirmation that this is a true and good connection.
I can't pinpoint it, but I just feel really good about this.
There's a heart with your name right in the middle of my notebook.
I think it's times like these where I feel like, "Was this fate?" - If that makes sense.
- This is the start of everything.
Like, there's an extra step in my skip.
The things I didn't know were missing in my life, he fulfills it.
I've thought about him this entire time and he just validated it.
- I feel like this is it.
- Aww! - Yay! - Aww. - So cute!
He put my name on his notebook.
And has been telling guys, "It's gonna be Natalie."
Everyone's dating everybody, but, right now, I need Shayne to tell me what he wants.
- Hello. - Hello. - Hi. - Hi. - I heard you proposed today, basically.
Are you sold on one person here?
I just wanna keep talking to you and I wanna keep getting to know you more.
I'm processing it, by the way, if I'm quiet.
This whole process, I believe is, like, why not just see it out?
I'm in this cute little matching set.
Like, high-waisted shorts with this crop top, and I have this big flannel over it.
You can wear it in the bedroom, though.
- I didn't want to do it alone.
- Maybe I'll have that breakfast burrito.
This is such a crazy experiment and I'm feeling so much so quickly.
Where, like, I've never been with someone who I wholeheartedly trust in every single way.
With Nick, from every single hour since we met has been talking and getting to know each other, and it's almost as if we knew each other, like, our entire lives, but we just met a couple days ago.
and I don't know what he looks like.
You literally have a woman over there.
I decided two days ago, it was Danielle.
And I am all in, and I'm gonna tell her.
Being with Danielle makes me feel calm, content, and I think the connection that we built is so strong, and it's unique in so many ways.
But I really attribute it to the fact that we've been able to dive in and spend hours and hours and hours getting to know one another in a way that takes months, if not years, in the real world.
They're so much fun to go with someone to, rather than by yourself.
If someone else is feeling an emotion, I feel it.
I dated someone a while back, like, five years ago, and she kind of, like, would tell me that my empathy was a weakness.
I mean, I think that's a toxic trait for her to think that.
Because, I, like, I love empathetic people.
And I can relate to them in a way that I can't relate to most people.
- I guess it's probably the same for you?
I have so many different groups of friends.
I think part of the reason is because of that.
I want to have kids, but I wanna make sure that we're able to travel... -
I don't wanna put a timeline on it.
I feel like you'll feel when you're ready.
I thought about you so much yesterday after we left.
Like, last night, I could not get you out of my mind.
I think we're at a place where we already know what the other's thinking without saying it.
and that's why, like... I've seen so many relationships, like, something always has to happen.
So, I'm like, something bad is gonna happen.
- Why do I cry so easily?
Here's what I want you to do.
Did you open your Ring Pop? -
- Put that on your ring finger.
I don't know, I ever have been.
I've never been in any sort of relationship where I haven't had reservations, or I haven't felt the kind of anxiety that I typically feel, and that's what's, like...
and I don't believe it because I don't know, like...
You mess things up by creating scenarios that don't exist.
We're gonna be partners, and be in this together.
I love her strength to share some of her insecurities.
I'm not afraid to tell her anything.
I kind of act in an acquired taste kind of way, and I've never felt like this.
And it just seems to me like that connection is so powerful that I can't imagine a life without her, and we never have actually seen one another.
When I first met you, I was very attracted to your energy.
Then, as I got to know you, and I got to know your story, and I got to know what makes you tick, and why you are the way you are, and why you think the way you think, and feel the way you feel, I felt connected to you in a way that I don't know if I've ever really felt before.
And we talked about coming from families where we didn't have an ideal marriage to look at, and we talked about how we could write our own story.
And now, if you wanna open the gift...
This is the start of our story, where we meet in these pods and we don't get to see each other.
But this is where it begins for us.
The rest of that book, it's empty and we can fill it with memories and adventures of everything that a marriage can be.
And I'm asking you if you will marry me.
I'm gonna hug the wall right now.
I want to hug you so bad.
Stand against the wall and hug me back.
- I can't wait to marry you.
Like, I genuinely am in love and I think that he is too.
And this experiment makes me feel like it was meant to be.
It's starting to sound like a fairy tale.
Knowing how anxious I get all the time, and, like, how calm I felt today, and how happy I was today, and not having a care in the world other than looking forward to seeing you.
Like, I've never had that in any relationship or situation.
And I am the kind of person who's constantly second-guessing myself, and then second-guessing why someone wants to be with me.
And now I don't have to do that because I know exactly why.
And I'm gonna make sure you always know.
I typically don't trust the words that are coming out of people's mouths, but I trust every single thing that you say.
- I wanna see you so bad right now.
Every time I talk to Shayne, I feel just so confident and so overwhelmingly happy.
Like, my gut is just saying, "I'm going to spend the rest of my life with him."
I truly feel like he's the one.
- Hello. - Hi. - Who am I talking to?
- That's who I was hoping for.
Like, what... Do you think I'm a dick or what?
If you think I'm a dick, I feel like that's kind of weird.
Natalie, you're talking to other people too, right?
- I just feel, like, a little bit led on.
If you want to explore another connection, then don't talk about, like, what we're gonna do in Chicago and, like, all this stuff.
So I'm gonna be honest with you, because I'm trying to give everyone an open mind going into our conversations.
I don't ever wanna make you feel bad, but I'm here to, like, try to, like, find my wife.
I'm giving everything I have to it.
I have to talk to other people.
I was just hurt because I've been very clear that I have strong feelings for you and clearly you have feelings for her and that's fine.
- But don't lead me on and just be honest... - I'm not leading you on.
I'm not trying to lead you on whatsoever.
You're on the cover of my book with a heart on it, for Christ's sake.
I'm not doubting you're here for the right reasons, but don't, like, feed me bullshit.
This is not normal, what we're going through.
Why am I getting, I guess, beat up about it?
I don't wanna make you feel like you're being beat up.
I'm not trying to come after you at all.
I don't want you to be mad or frustrated...
I'm very frustrated because I don't know how much more reassurance I can give you.
What I'm trying to figure out is if you think this is going anywhere.
If... this little hiccup is, like, that big of a deal, and that changes everything, then maybe this is not what we thought it was, I guess.
I'm just done with this whole situation right now.
It's not worth it for me being here anymore.
I don't even want to be here anymore.
I've chosen Danielle to be my wife.
Someone that I've never even seen before.
I would've never guessed this days ago, but it's real.
Everyone wants to be loved for who they are on the inside, and I feel so grateful I was able to go through this experience, to finally find someone who truly does.
No doubt in my mind that he does.
There's no doubt that I love Nick for who he is.
I know him and he knows me more than anyone else.
The fact that she's chosen me to be a partner and get married to and be her husband the rest of her life is one of the most humbling and satisfying feelings I think I've ever felt.
I don't feel I've ever had a connection or really had this type of love with someone before.
I think she's the greatest person probably in the entire world.
I've tried picturing seeing Nick and not liking him in my head a thousand times.
I pictured him as, like, one-foot tall.
I pictured him as eight-feet tall, as 300 pounds, as 50 pounds.
I pictured him in every single physical way possible.
I've been almost, like, picturing him as a big blue wall because that is what I'm staring at every time we have a conversation.
The fact that I already feel like the luckiest girl in the world, how can I not be attracted to him?
He could walk out with no teeth and I'd still go and kiss his mouth.
My biggest fear coming into Love Is Blind was that someone was going to see me for the first time and I wasn't going to exceed their expectations in terms of looks.
And I feel so strongly about the connection I have with Nick that I don't even necessarily have that fear anymore.
I think he's such a good person and such a good match for me, that I think he'll see me for who I am and think I'm beautiful regardless.
But you always want the love of your life to think you're beautiful.
Like, "Don't look at my legs, because the hair's growing."
I have spent countless hours engaging with potential partners and, after all of that, like, I've actually found my wife.
It's just so crazy that we were able to do that, like, through pods.
I am completely in love with Nick.
He's not only my fiancé, he's my best friend, and I'm about to see him for the first time.
- I can feel your heart beating.
- Seems like it's been a lifetime.
I was like, "What if he doesn't think I'm cute?"
- You say it while I can see you.
Being able to see the face behind the voice was just amazing.
He has the most beautiful blue eyes, and I have blue eyes.
I'll remember this moment for the rest of my life.
I was nervous, so I put on teeth whiteners twice today.
He's been looking for a mommy for a long time.
I can't believe that I fell in love with someone, and then I didn't get to see them, and then when I did see them, it only made it better.
You're gonna have to get used to me being like this all the time.
I already am anticipating the wedding day.
I am so confident about the relationship that we're going to have, that I'm ready to be married to him tomorrow.
I am not going to let anything get in the way of this.
Can't wait to just start this wonderful life we have planned.
I cannot wait to go on this romantic getaway with Nick, because I think that it's just going to continue to develop what we've already started developing, and I'm gonna get to spend every single waking second with him in Mexico, and I cannot imagine anything better than that.
Now, I just get to work on spending the rest of my life with him.
Have you ever thought of growing a beard?
I don't grow a very good beard.
As crazy as this shit sound like on the outside looking in, this shit is working.
I feel more and more certain every single time I speak with you.
I definitely feel like I've known you for forever.
So, would you feel comfortable if I moved in and I wanted to change up some stuff to make it feel more like my home?
I mean, long as it's not, like, nothing too crazy, like, you...
No. - Did we have a sex talk yet?
- Are you a very affectionate person, or... - I can be.
I don't have to be making out.
'Cause I think about how many enzymes are in your saliva, and how they, like, eat away at... Yo.
My brain be doing the most, bro.
When I think of intimacy, kissing is involved.
Yes, but I don't wanna be, like, making out for, like, five plus minutes.
She's about, "Nah, don't kiss me too long."
"How much time we done been kissing for?
Because yesterday I felt like Mallory and I had a really good day.
And then today I feel like me and Iyanna had a really good day.
I had a dream about you yesterday
You were getting fitted for some suit, like a business suit or whatever.
How am I dreaming about somebody I've never met?"
I was like, "What is this woman doing to me?"
How the fuck is this even happening?
How is this even possible that I have not seen this person, but yet I'm starting to develop feelings for this person?
- I have a question for you.
I sometimes even think, if I were to get engaged, I'd even want the traditional gold setting and bands, so...
- I don't know, that's what I like.
If that's what you want, we gonna do that.
Have you thought about what life or marriage would look like between us?
If you turn me on... ...through a conversation, I'm not worried about anything else.
- Sorry, I'm so awkward right now.
What if you see me and I'm not what you pictured?
I'll be fine with what you look like.
I'm not worried about that at all.
- Hopefully, you dream about me too.
- What did you bring into the room?
Do you have a little cocktail there right now?
I made a cocktail with tequila and then I added a splash of orange juice.
- Ooh. - 'Bout to play this game with you too so...
- We're gonna be playing Never Have I Ever.
Never have I ever slept with someone of the same sex.
Okay, never have I ever had sex in a public place.
- Never have I ever watched porn.
I don't know, it's fun to do it with someone else.
Never have I ever got a tattoo.
I will drink because I have one.
Like the tree of life and just kind of, like, a family tree.
Family is really big for me too.
So, my siblings and I, we all decided to get tattoos.
It's supposed to be, like, four little dots that represent all of us.
Yesterday, after our conversation, I was nervous that I wouldn't talk to you again.
If it's not you, I don't think there's anyone else here for me.
Whatever I have to do to prove to you that I'm fully focused on you, I will do it.
Honestly, I just wanna hold you and hug you and make sure you're okay.
Hey, do you see on your cart?
- Do you see anything on your cart?
It's corny and cheesy, sure, but I just wanted to let you know, like, you are a magical person.
You annoyed the fuck out of me yesterday, but...
I feel differently about you than I ever have for someone else.
All I care about is making you happy and there is gonna be no more confusion.
I just wanna focus on us, and that's it.
Did you have a date with Shayne just now?
He asked me to be his girlfriend.
Natalie and me have the strongest connection, but I have feelings for Shaina too, yes.
I have a romantic connection with both of them, 100%.
I just need to know where they stand and how they feel about me.
- We're all coming out better, regardless.
Hello? - Hello. - Hi. - How you doing, honey?
- Are you in your comfy clothes?
- I'm wearing these men's... - Men's?
Ex-boyfriend men's stuff or what? - No.
No, they're like these men's gray joggers, with a black crop top.
I just don't want another failed engagement.
You're not gonna look stupid, so you don't need a hundred reassurances.
I just need, like, just to see that you're in it.
- Yeah, I told you that I care.
- Fight for it, then, or something.
But again, I won't play second fiddle to anybody.
She said you asked her to be your girlfriend.
Did you say those things to Natalie?
Well, no, she made sure that she told me that you said that.
Oh my God... - I'm asking you a question.
- I know, but I'm like, who cares?
- Why do you care about that?
She knows that I'm talking to you.
but if you have a girlfriend, that's a different story.
Whatever she says, why does it matter?
And I might never see her again, or talk to her again, and...
Yeah, not winning any body contests over here
but, you know, it's not my strong suit.
The way he worded the physical questions were very off-putting.
About, like, "I'm looking for a petite girl who I can put on my shoulders at a festival."
I'm just like, "The way you're wording that is not good."
- First of all, it shouldn't matter at all.
That's why I was telling you, I was like, "Ooh.
We'd be a Dr. and Mrs." Shake places importance on the physical appearance, but we both have such similar mindsets and I've never met anybody else who's kind of gone through the same life experiences.
And I think that's really what bonds us.
I've never dated an Indian guy before, but I'm here to find that person that makes me complete.
But... did I ever tell you that I lost a ton of weight?
Um... Like, close to, like, you know, 70, 80 pounds, probably.
How the hell am I the one who's, like, asking girls their, you know... Like, these kind of superficial questions...
And then I kind of felt kind of ashamed, embarrassed that I did.
And I'm like, "Wow, this is the experiment where you're not supposed to even, like, think about that stuff."
And I'm like, "How am I thinking about that the way I am?"
- I was really chubby growing up, actually.
I think I've had a lot of body image issues for myself.
Because I was out of shape growing up and I was always kind of uncomfortable, I kind of would compensate by being with somebody in good shape.
I'm, like... kind of looking at it objectively now, probably as a result of this experience, and it's like, is this a reflection of my own body issues?
It kind of is 'cause, like, everybody has their demons and...
maybe I had more demons in this department than I thought.
Oh my gosh, I'm so glad you shared that with me and, like, I just love that you're being so vulnerable.
You're so confident and you're so strong and, like, the way you handled it was really impressive.
I think it's so sweet that you said that I was confident in all these, but I really wasn't feeling that and I had to take a step back and kind of regroup and kind of, like, do my self-talk, 'cause I'm not always the most confident.
I had a lot of issues with self-esteem and, you know, feeling like I wasn't worth it or all those things, you know what I mean?
I think the potential that we have here is, like, really great.
And I totally see a future with you and, like, I was just waiting to see this vulnerable side to you.
I think, you know, I think things might really work out with us.
That was a genuine laugh over there.
But Natalie, she came out very strong with her feelings for Shayne.
So, my pride got in the way of if he had that connection with another woman, why would I want to put myself out there?
And right now, Kyle's giving me affirmation.
I love that he, right away, like, he knew it was me that he wanted.
What woman doesn't want a man to know right away?
Like, you gave me the chills right now.
I just had such a good feeling.
That's why I'm drawn to you, because you literally pull shit right out of my mouth.
No. - I think college is a waste of money.
Would you go to church with me on Sundays?
Definitely how I was raised and how I go through life is, like, being raised, Christian.
So, like... I'm, like, trying to be calm.
- Do you... Are you atheist? -
Oh. - Let's say we get married.
- What if we have babies, right?
I'll try and fart or burp and say, "Who's Grace?"
That's a question I need to ask you.
You're asking me if I'm okay with you instilling the religion into our children? -
- But, like, what about for you?
- The kids will get to decide like I did.
I want to know why you're an atheist.
So, you believe the Big Bang Theory? -
- So, you don't believe in evolution?
- I do not believe in it at all.
There's some guy who wrote a book.
- I've read parts of it and I am... -
Every atheist has said that and until you read it, you can't say anything about it.
I know, but I'm also not gonna, like, understand that.
Shaina has extreme views on religion, and I have extreme views on religion.
Deep down inside, I knew it was too good to be true. -
I could definitely fall in love with Shaina.
But, like, we are such polar opposites.
And I don't think either of us are gonna change each other.
Maybe I was floating away a little bit, and I was just grounded.
It really made me question, did I know the people that I was with before?
I'll be very honest, for my situation, - I have not gone for a girl... -
Yeah. ...like Deeps, but I feel really fucking good about it.
I'm beyond words how excited I am about finding someone like Deeps.
So, do you see yourself having kids?
Like, how many kids do you want?
I want as many as I can afford.
Yeah, that's a good way to put it.
This is definitely my first time feeling this particular way about someone.
Without a doubt, I have never felt so close, so deep, so strong, so quickly.
Even in some of the Indian traditions, like touching the man's feet when I get married. - Like, fuck that. - I am right there with you.
I've come a long way, getting past superficial motivations for things and working through my insecurities.
I love being a vet, I hate the lifestyle of a vet.
So, owning your own practice, you'd have to be able to be flexible.
I like to be financially independent completely...
We're gonna have some smart, awesome kids.
Deepti is like a puzzle piece that fits.
She fits in a way nobody else has ever fit.
- Hello. - Hey. - Hi. -
I wanted to just say something from the heart here.
So, when coincidence seems too convenient, I prefer to call that fate.
And I've never met someone who seems to understand me the way you do.
Our stories are so similar and they've already begun to intertwine.
You make me feel some type of way.
I'm gonna ask you to approach the wall here.
- Oh, I wish I could feel you.
So, I'm gonna get down on one knee.
And, Deepti, will you make me the luckiest man in the world and marry me?
I never thought that I would meet someone like you and...
Oh, man, I feel like fate has just gravitated us towards each other, and a thousand times yes! -
- I wish I could hug you right now.
- Abi, can't wait to see you.
Ah! - Rest of our lives, baby.
So, I think if we're going to get married at the end of this, I want you to know everything.
So, do... do you think there's, like, one thing that would be, like, the complete deal breaker in a marriage?
And I mean, like, any form of cheating.
Like emotional cheating, or like, physically cheating.
Do you think you have any... any traumas that you're still, like, working through?
So, I was sexually assaulted when I was 17. -
Hmm. - Like, my heart is healed.
It's just, like, sometimes my body remembers.
Like, I'm very, very, very selective on who I allow to get very, very close to me.
- I can make quick acquaintances, very...
But when it comes down to it, like, who am I investing my time with? - Mm-hmm.
- And it's not that many people, because I'm just very, very selective.
It doesn't feel fresh, but, um, there's still some, like, lingering... um, things that...
I don't know, make me, I guess, like, have reflexes.
'Cause, I mean, I already struggle with trust in general and strangely enough, like, I feel like I trust you enough.
Listen, outside of my family and my close friends, like... no one...
- Um... A year ago... - Almost lost my life.
I had an issue with someone who I thought was a really close friend of mine.
There'd been friction between us for... for quite some time.
I never saw the knife in his hand.
I woke up the next morning and have all these fucking tubes down my nose.
Didn't even know that I was gonna make it.
Probably one of the lowest points of my life.
I haven't had anybody there to go through this with.
I'm so sorry you went through that.
That's how I gotta look at it.
Honestly, it feels nice to open up to you.
And then for you to receive it so well, it feels nice.
I don't think I have anything else to think about anymore.
I've made connections with you and Mallory.
And it's just, my brain is flustered.
I've literally been going back and forth every day.
We've been having such deep conversations, I kind of bypassed all the basic shit.
I'm the communications manager for a non-profit.
This is the first time I've heard that.
So, my full-time job is I'm a healthcare consultant, and on the side, some of my entrepreneurial things I do, I cut hair.
Couple friends of mine, we buy and resell sneakers.
And then I just started my own mobile hookah business.
I have a very big entrepreneurial mind.
So, I want myself and my wife to dive into that.
I want to make sure our kids are fine when they go to college, grow up.
I don't know if I mentioned this, but I'm also a homeowner.
What do you think that would look like with your husband?
I wanna be with somebody who is, like, a partner in all that, right?
We can decide, do we want to live in your condo, or do we want to live in my house?
Or do we want to rent both out and get something else?
So... - What kind of dog you got?
She's two and a half years old.
Um... Feel like I haven't done it in a really long time.
You sound like you'd be a good cuddler.
Pretend I'm a lady and you're trying to...
I have good connections with both Sal and Jarrette, but I definitely feel like Jarrette is a little bit more vocal about, like, seeing me in marriage.
But I want to stay open because I know that he's talking to other people.
He's talking to other people, so is Sal.
I think it's important to try to explore every conversation, every option.
It's just a lot of time to sit with my feelings and my thoughts.
Yeah, or just finding myself, like, thinking about you, you know, like, throughout the day.
Obviously, you know, I really like you and...
And getting to know you has been very exciting.
It was so fast, but so slow at the same time.
You know, it's, like, the rational part of me and my brain is like, "What the fuck are you doing?"
But, I think maybe for the first time I'm not listening to that.
This whole experience has definitely made me feel like I've dated the wrong way my whole life.
This has changed me a lot, and made me a better man.
I really do feel like I'm falling for you.
And that's what I feel has been the scariest thing.
You make me want to take that risk with you.
That was, like, the nicest thing... ...
I think in the past I've always been trying to run away from my culture.
I honestly think that in my prior ways I would've passed over an opportunity to connect with a girl like Deepti.
As soon as I see her, it's gonna be two hands.
From here on out, she's within a two-mile radius from me, that booty is not safe.
I think Shake does place importance on appearance and physical aspects because, you know, to connect physically is important to him, but eliminating the physical piece of it has created such a bond and such a foundational stability for us.
He's actually this really sweet, articulate, sensitive, and fun, outgoing person.
I just think he's just a beautiful person inside out
and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him.
I've learned physical attraction isn't the biggest thing.
My test for if I can date a girl or not, which is, if I can put her on my shoulders at a music festival, then she's within a physical range that I would date, which, you know, looking back at, is such a superficial thing.
And I think I put on a front and try to be cool or try to be edgy.
All kinds of things that I use to protect myself.
I'm very fortunate to have been a part of this experiment and I think I landed an incredible woman because of it.
I think that Shake would not have gone for me if we were in the real world.
I think Shake definitely wants the most attractive woman in the room, kind of.
And so, I don't know, I'm just waiting to see what his initial reaction is, what his facial expressions are.
When I touch him, I hope, you know, I feel that spark and, you know, that he feels it back.
I hope that he sees that we can build a life together, even though I don't look like the typical girl he would go for.
I don't think he expected me to look the way I looked.
- You did not just do that.
In the Indian culture, when you get married, the wife touches the husband's feet, and I told him I'm not doing that because we're equals.
And so the fact that he touched my feet was perfect.
I can't believe I have a ring on my finger.
Like... I've wanted this my whole life.
Oh, I can't believe I waited 30 whole years to find my person.
Even though I've dated so many blonde girls and... and white girls in the past, Deeps is just perfect.
Deepti is one of the best things to ever happen to me.
I hope I'm gonna make her as happy as she deserves to be.
Honestly, like, you're everything that I would want.
- We're gonna have so much fun.
In the past, I've been way too harsh on people, been way too stubborn.
But going through this, I realize that the ultimate goal is who can I be the happiest with?
Shaina puts up with my strong personality.
She knows how to make me happy, and whenever I hear her voice, she just, like, lifts my spirits.
Am I gonna throw away an amazing woman because we disagree on religion?
I've never had that dilemma, but my head has never been more clear.
Like... I think that, at this stage of my life, I can't.
I'll never find that perfect person where everything aligns so perfectly.
They don't change how much love I have for you.
There's a part of me that does feel right.
And then, I'm like, "Will we combust?"
- Because I don't wanna have regrets.
- Do you want me to hold it?
You remind me so much of my mother.
She was very, very religious, and she makes me the happiest.
I'm dying to just grab your face and kiss you.
- Do you know how much a kiss means?
Yeah, it's the best feeling in the world to kiss somebody that you love.
I'm kind of in shock right now.
I know, and I didn't expect to ever pull that out.
I brought it with anticipation that maybe I would find somebody, and you are the perfect person for it.
I guess it's just the idea of, like, being engaged again, and, um...
I just don't want to make, like, another mistake.
I care about Kyle a lot, but there's issues.
Huge things that we both... do not see eye-to-eye on.
I made my past mistakes in not having integrity and staying true to myself.
I want you, the quietest one. -
You will never be my best man at my wedding.
This whole experiment's been crazy, but, like, somehow it works.
I developed strong feelings for two people.
I had deep, deep feelings for Shaina, but Shaina was always hesitant.
I mean, she never really actually told me how she felt.
Natalie asserted herself, and she just made me feel so safe and secure, and that's what I wanted.
Shayne, I just need to let you know you're my favorite.
When I first met Natalie, we had the most smoothest conversation.
We laugh constantly with each other, but we can also get to a deeper connection as well. - Tell me about your family.
- My mom is, like, my best friend.
I love that you have a really close relationship with your mom.
And you definitely make me feel comfortable.
Honestly, it's that euphoria you feel from someone when it's, like, she just gives you butterflies.
And I always said, when you know, you kind of know.
- I can't believe you made this happen.
- Honey, I will make everything hap...
Whatever you want to happen, I will make it happen.
I've brought one girl home to my mom in my entire life.
I've talked to you and gotten such deeper, like, connections with you in these, what, seven days, than I talked to her for six months.
It's been such a short period of time, but I feel like I've known her forever.
I mean, I'm riding so high on her
and I'm ready to propose to this woman, 100%.
You know, so, I'm trying to think of all of my thoughts and emotions about how I feel, and when I think about this whole experience, it's like...
This is exactly how I feel like we were supposed to meet.
I'm just... Would love for you to hear me out real quick.
I just wanted you to know that I do have deep feelings for you.
I said yes to Kyle... because I do...
I'm just scared that I made a decision that was the wrong decision.
I've told Shayne that I liked him, but I've not really said, "I have deep feelings for you."
And from what I've observed, he definitely needs reassurance.
I'm finally strong enough to have the courage to do what I have to do.
I just wanted you to know that I do have deep feelings for you.
I do envision a life with you together, and I do...
Honestly, I really do care for you a lot.
I do have your back, and I would be loyal to you and faithful to you and... fight for you, and be that rock in your life, and a true wife to you.
I've expressed this kind of stuff, and I was kind of waiting for that to happen with you and it...
It's like we wasted so much fucking time the last two days not even talking.
I wished you would've said that like...
I just wish we had that fucking time back the last couple days.
My pride definitely got in the way.
Fuck, I don't even know what to think right now.
And we can keep this private so it doesn't...
Well, trust me, it's not gonna fuckin'...
The connection I have with Natalie is just so strong.
Like, me saying that to Shayne, knowing that he's gonna propose to Natalie.
But, like, I did see a life with Shayne.
You feel you can get that out of Natalie, what you think you're wanting?
I don't wanna look like that person...
that's, like, making judgments on what their life would look like, but I would be the only one that can really be that... wife for him in a real genuine and authentic way.
Looking back, I just regret not... opening up sooner.
What Shaina said to me today, I needed that two days ago.
This has been the one that I am fully gonna give all my heart to, and I don't even know what she looks like.
And, quite frankly, I really don't care, because I love her.
- Hello. - Hello. - Hi. - Hi. - How are you doing?
- I'm a man of a lot of words.
So, when I don't have a lot of words, honestly, it's, like...
I get all the special feelings for you.
This last week and a half has been life-changing.
I'm gonna get down on a knee.
I cannot wait to see you, explore the rest of my life with you.
Um, so, Natalie... will you marry me?
- I wish I could just kiss you right now.
I'm so excited to spend the rest of my life with you.
It's, like, I just wanna run through a wall.
My heart's pounding out of my chest right now.
I love you, and I will see you tomorrow.
- All right, I'll see you tomorrow.
I'm excited to spend literally every waking moment with Natalie.
I just need to see her and touch her.
Outside of what fucking happened to me last year, this is the scariest shit in my life.
I've really put myself out there in a way that I haven't done in the past, and I am invested.
I feel like Jarrette and I are having similar feelings for Mallory.
I feel that, and I know that, but all I can focus on is what I feel for Mallory.
And we acknowledge that Mallory has a choice.
You know what's fucking great about all this though, bro?
This is what being human is about, dude.
- I want to feel this, dude.
I don't care if I'm in pain.
I don't believe that I have felt...
stuff like this ever in my life.
We got one life to live, you know?
Like... shit can be good one day, and the next day, shit can be completely different.
I know that I'm here for a reason.
I'm doing this experiment for a reason, you know?
I can't tell you why the fuck these women are running through my mind and I'm feeling all types of ways for these women.
I'm not gonna be okay until I get down on a knee to the person that I feel like is the best one here for me, - and she says yes. - Hoo.
The weight of the world is gonna be lifted off of my shoulders.
Earlier this week, I was going back and forth between Mallory and Iyanna, but over the past couple days, I've gained clarity.
I can definitely see myself proposing and having a life with Iyanna, but I want to propose to Mallory and it's gonna feel crazy, you know.
I'm gonna feel a whirlwind of emotions, but I'll be celebrating my 50th anniversary with Mallory.
and we were talking about how tacos are your favorite food.
I feel like the connection that we've made, the bond is there.
I like so much about you, and it just...
It's enough there for me to be like, "You know what?
I can see myself with this person for the rest of my life."
Do you really see a future with me?
Like, if I was to propose to you?
I connect with you so well, and I...
We have so much in common, and I could talk to you about everything
and I laugh with you a lot.
And I love talking to you all the time.
But, there's always really been two people I've just felt very strongly for, and I feel like my other connection is just, um...
I feel like I'm just drawn more to that.
I could see a lot of stuff with you, but I can't help but feeling... - I mean, I don't know what to... -
It's like one decision just changes your life.
With Sal it's just, like, I can't ignore it.
I feel like Sal's more, like, my heart.
I never thought that I'd be in this position.
I don't want to make anyone feel like that.
I asked her, if I was to propose to her, would she accept?
My feelings are stronger for someone else."
You can tell me to, seriously, like, fuck off right now, but I know you connected with Iyanna.
You know she's very into you as well.
I could not fall asleep last night.
Not that I even care about what he looks like, but it's just the fact that I get to touch him and kiss him and hug him.
I'm so nervous, I'm gonna puke, pretty much.
I've never had this feeling ever in my entire life, and I live off of adrenaline.
I just truly feel like, you know, she's the most genuine person in the world
and I'm ready to fucking, like, break through some walls to see her.
No one else outside of this experiment will ever be able to understand how it's even possible, but it's true.
When you take everything else out of the equation, everything else that doesn't matter, you fall in love, if it's the right person.
If he looks like, I don't know, like an ogre, it wouldn't impact my love for him.
And I know, you know, it would be the same way for him.
'Cause I'm just me, just average little old me.
What she looks like doesn't matter to me.
If she was missing a tooth, then I'd probably run the other way, but like... You wouldn't?
- I spent thousands on my teeth.
And a missing front tooth is a limit for me.
When I was walking down and I saw Natalie, everything's sweating like crazy
and I'm like, "I gotta kiss her before I start sweating all over."
- Should we dance a little bit?
You're literally nothing like I would've expected.
He's hot as F. I was surprised that he was suave and confident and good-looking.
So, I think in my head, I just thought of, you know, like the image you'd associate with a goofy person.
It's like a cherry on top that, like, he's so good-looking.
Honestly, I'm just done talking right now.
When he kissed me, it was probably the best moment of my life.
I've kissed boys, but, like, I think because there was a love there, it feels so different.
What'll we do when we first see each other?
I think you know what we'll do.
Are we going to tickle a little bit?
It feels so right and so good.
Natalie has exceeded every expectation I've had in my life.
Everything that I ever wanted in a wife.
Seeing that smile, she has the most beautiful smile in the world, and hearing her voice just makes me feel so at home.
God, I wish everyone could experience the feeling I'm feeling.
I came here to find a wife.
I cannot wait to make it official with her.
Meeting Shayne today, it absolutely was the best day of my life.
I can't wait to see him again and spend the next chapter of our lives together.
A thousand chapters of our lives together.
Now, we have to figure out how do we work as a couple in the real world, where there are distractions and meeting my parents...
But I just love the way I feel right now.
I'm so confident in us, and I'm so excited for our marriage and everything else that's about to come.
Mallory had also told me that she was dating other people, which is fine.
That's what we're all here to do.
But it was like a punch to the gut, a really big punch to the gut.
I know that I was dating two women.
I had strong connection with both women.
You know, I could have went either way
and I think that's why every day, I was kind of flipping sides.
Tomorrow it might be Iyanna, and vice versa.
Iyanna is truly there for me and loves me for me.
If she's still in, I can see myself proposing to her too, because a day ago, I was on the fence of who I was choosing between Iyanna and Mallory.
I'm trying to gather my thoughts on how to have this conversation with Iyanna.
So I'm just all over the place right now.
I look like I'm keeping it together, but I'm all over.
- Something I need to talk to you about.
Obviously, I've been, you know, dating you and...
But I know you've had a connection with Mallory.
I had a strong bond with both of y'all.
I've literally been going back and forth every day.
I had a date with Mallory earlier.
"If I was to propose to you, how would you feel?"
You know, and she pretty much told me, like, our connection is cool, our connection is strong, but I feel strongly about someone else.
I didn't get the response that I wanted, you know.
I also don't want you to feel like you're second fiddle because I still envision what marriage would be like with you.
I was so sure that I wanted to be with you.
I can't help but to think, like, if Mallory had said yes, that you would have proposed to her, and I don't know how I feel about that.
I mean, my feelings for you don't just subside in... - I know that.
...I deserve someone who wants to be certain about me.
Kinda feel like this whole process is all uncertainty, and I feel like that's why I was going back and forth every day.
I think her telling me no, just really kind of just gives me my validation that I needed.
I knew that I can see myself with both of y'all.
And I think her telling me no, it just...
Do you feel strongly enough about me to propose?
My heart just feels torn, because I don't...
If she had said yes, do you think that was all you needed to propose?
I never wanna feel like someone's second choice.
Yes, I am strong, but I am very fragile at the same time.
When I came here, I did not expect to find someone like Mallory.
She just reminds me so much of home.
I feel like I've always been so careful with that word.
This is new territory for me, but I am in love with her.
I, like, play this in my head, uh... a lot of times.
- I, um, remember our first date.
I drew two little stars and a pepper next to your name.
I remember you just sharing with me how much you cared about your family and the value that they hold in your life, you know, and that really meant so much to me.
I know that you will take nothing more than my best.
And I love how you bring out my most thoughtful, my most vulnerable version, because you deserve nothing less.
You literally have, like, my best in your hands right now, and falling in love with you has changed me as a person.
You kind of scared me a little bit, 'cause...
Because I was afraid to be emotionally available.
But I don't want to run from that anymore.
- Did you get on one knee?
I just wanna hug you and kiss you.
When I see you tomorrow, can I kiss you?
I fell in love with Shaina through a wall, and now I'm gonna go pick her up, give her a kiss.
Or I get punched in the face for all the Bible jokes.
Coming to this experiment has definitely been a life-changing experience.
I just got engaged to a man, and then told another man I had feelings for him the whole time, but never really was clear or transparent with him.
I'm all of a sudden talking about the man I'm engaged to, even though we have all these huge differences.
I'm concerned that she's gonna have hesitations based off my appearance, or my bad breath.
She loves that I have a physical job and that I work with my hands.
That's why I grew out my beard.
I'm confident that her and I will physically be perfect for each other.
It's just the feeling that I have.
I just think we've bonded over everything.
Me seeing Kyle, I think it will give me clarity.
I have to feel him, I have to touch him, I have to see him, so it is real.
I think it will give me that reassurance and calmness.
When I see him, I think I'm gonna know.
Imagine you're standing next to a supermodel.
You're gonna feel like a piece of shit.
She told me she doesn't care how I look, but she puts a lot of effort into how she looks.
- You're a lot nicer in person.
I'm just, like, soaking it all in.
Her being that attractive and sexy and pretty and cute is all a bonus to what I already loved about her.
This engagement, um... I'm scared that, like, given our differences and everything... - Mm-hmm.
- ...if it's gonna be a problem.
And so, I'm just, like, freaking out.
I don't wanna make a mistake, and I don't want you to.
I don't want us getting caught up in the excitement.
Um... Are you willing to give it a try?
Part of me is like, "Go for it," and another half is like, "Be wise here."
You know it's for the best not to go there, because it could be a beautiful thing, or it can be very combative and it could get toxic and ugly.
I'd have so much fun with you and it'd be such an amazing adventure with you.
- And I don't know what to do.
- I'm just being 100% transparent with you.
Well, we're gonna have to make an effort.
I was kind of taken aback, because her and I seemed very confident going into this.
And I think that she wanted to tell me in person that, like, "You're amazing, but don't think that it's all fairy tales and rainbows from here."
The connection that Shaina and I have is... is incredible.
After all the things we've talked about and all the shit we went through, I think it will be impossible to pull us apart.
I'm confident that we will get married.
It's just going to be an interesting journey there.
- What did you say you feel?
So, I'm gonna go in and I'm just gonna be super transparent.
I'm like, there's no fucking way that these people are falling in love and being married within this short amount of time.
But now, I 100% see how it's possible.
I don't even think I could put it in words.
Like, I did fall in love in the pods, and this is my first time saying it.
Yesterday's situation kind of fed into one of my worst insecurities and, like, I knew how certain I was about you days ago.
It scares me that you weren't so certain about me.
I was literally just going through the process.
I've done things a little unorthodox doing this, you know.
But I came in with an open mind, with an open heart, telling myself that if I make a strong-ass connection with someone, then I would take that leap of faith.
We've had a lot of deep, thought-provoking conversations and the biggest thing that I value and like about you is your strength.
You've been dealt some... some crazy-ass hands in life.
You've proven time and time again at every obstacle in your way, everything thrown your way, you've powered through, and that just goes to show, you know, the testament of your character.
I had a long talk with God this morning and... Listen.
That is not what I expected you to say.
I wouldn't be standing right here asking you to marry me if I did.
But, you know, I feel like I have enough.
I know what I need to know to know that this can be successful.
Part of me feels like, "Iyanna, what the fuck?
and then the other part is like, "Wait a second.
This is not how I ever envisioned getting proposed to.
We're on bended knee through a wall.
Listen, we're gonna be weird together, forever.
I'm so excited to meet Sal and to explore that relationship, but, man, I'm fucking proud of myself.
I think sometimes I've lacked confidence in so many areas of my life, and... ...
I'm really happy about who I am, and I hope my parents are really proud about who they raised.
And I'm so confident in myself and my decisions, and that includes this whole experiment and my relationship with Sal.
He's just so thoughtful and considerate, and I fully deserve and embrace that type of love from Sal, and I wouldn't have realized that if I didn't go through this experiment with him.
Love is really blind, you know, because this love is unconditional.
I don't know what she looks like, but I've never felt as deep a connection as I have with Mallory, and I am very attracted to her.
My head initially goes to, "What if he doesn't like me?"
"What if there's something he doesn't find attractive?"
Like the big scar on my knee?
I have my insecurities just like any other person.
Those thoughts like, "Am I good enough?
Am I good enough for this person?"
It's nice to see you in person.
- I don't know what to do now.
- Why don't you and me... - You wanna come over here at my side and... - Sure.
- It's so good to see you.
- It's so good to see you.
- And I'm excited to be here with you.
- And finally get to see you.
Did you picture, like... - Not at all.
But, oh my gosh, you are beautiful, Mal.
Are you ready for the... the next part?
- I just want you to know I'm here.
I know this is really new, but I'm ready to face this with you, Mal.
I was trying to kiss her a little bit more, but
The physical can grow and it will.
It will, and I'm just excited to see her again.
I'm very attracted to him emotionally, but physically, like, I don't really...
It's not something I can really put my finger on, I guess.
This is, like, throwing me off, 'cause now I'm not feeling good about it.
And I was feeling really good about it.
I know how broken he was when Mallory said no, but he's not the only one who was torn between two people.
I know that Iyanna loves me for who I am on the inside.
I don't think she cares about what I look like.
Whatever she is or looks like, I'll be happy and I just can't wait.
Like, she just fits like a glove when I hug her.
I didn't expect her to look like that.
Her voice does not match what she looks like.
He has a big head, so I'm a little nervous for my cervix, but he's so cute!
I have to keep this dress forever.
- 'Cause I'mma start getting too weird.
- Did this pick this all by yourself?
The rest of the world, they won't understand, but, like, it's my life, you know, and my heart is telling me that Iyanna's the one for me.
It's not for anyone else to understand.
It's for me, my feelings, and my fiancée.
Six couples fell in love and got engaged, sight unseen.
After finally seeing each other for the very first time, they're now with us in Mexico for a romantic getaway.
Here, they'll discover if their physical connection is as strong as their emotional one.
Until this point, only thing that's mattered is who they are on the inside.
Now their love will be put to the test.
Will their looks, background and insecurities of the real world be too much for them to overcome?
- Their weddings are just four weeks away.
I was supposed to get a pedicure.
Like, I wouldn't care if you didn't have any nails.
I'm shocked that your mom let me wear it.
I've been wearing it as a thumb ring.
- I don't want you to feel like... - What do you mean?
Like we didn't get our own ring.
We'll get it, is what I was gonna say.
I thought my ring was prettier than everybody's.
- I love when you touch me.
But I'm like, I am so in it with him.
Like, to finally see him physically and, like, how he walked, how he ate food, how he drank, how he just interacted with me.
I just found him so physically attractive and I'm just...
I, like, literally never have I just been so... good.
I've never felt so just, like, calm, and so sure everything's gonna be fine.
I just wanna have babies with him.
I could kiss you all day, I'm cool with it.
This at night's gonna be so fucking awesome.
Okay, what do you wanna do here?
I can use that excuse for at least the next ten hours, I think, so... - I'm fucking outta here.
- You'll just have to see tonight.
- Ooh... - What do you say? - Say what?
- I need a little... - Oh.
- Is that what you were saying?
Pour me, then I'll give you a compliment.
That's a lie, but I'll allow it.
'Cause I'm a nice guy. - See?
- I think you're a piece of shit.
Yeah, that's the first nice thing you've said about me.
I think you have really nice eyes.
Her style, everything she's got going for her, that hasn't been a problem whatsoever.
But communication's a little different than the pod so far.
I don't know if she's just nervous and that's how she reacts a little bit to the situation, but I wanted a little more affection.
I just don't understand what's going on.
I have a weird thing to tell you.
So, I've been making my own toothpaste.
I put some peppermint essential oil in there.
- Oh, I have my own toothpaste.
I just brush until I feel good.
- Does it change your feelings about me?
I make my own body wash too.
I'm gonna switch out his toothpaste with real stuff.
There's no way he's gonna continue with that.
I don't know how his breath doesn't smell.
I'm gonna watch you brush your teeth a lot.
I'm feeling very blessed and happy, but it's one of those feelings where it's like, it's a little too good to be true.
Are you pissed that you're with a Christian?
No, I don't even know what that is.
Aww... - Listen, if you speak in... -
And give great quotes, I am all ears.
When's the last time you actually ate...?
We're gonna cut you a good piece.
We're gonna make you a really good bite.
- I'm dying to try the bread.
If you don't eat the bread, it's gonna be really unattractive.
A guy that doesn't eat the bread is weird to me.
When I first saw Kyle it kind of scared me in a way.
Do I want to have the conversation with Kyle about our differences?
No. - Are you gonna go shower?
It's one of those things where it's like, again, you're preparing for the worst, hoping for the best, but you don't want to know the answer, but you know the answer.
- Did you have a cold shower?
- You want me to sit? - Sit.
Okay, I'd like to talk to you.
I actually am not used to setting boundaries.
- But I want to do this the right way.
No, I'm not used to setting good boundaries.
- And it usually ends up in disaster.
This is the first time we're actually spending time together.
- And I wanna do this the right way.
Um, I'd think for the first night that we'd spend the night in separate rooms.
- How do you feel about that?
Like... - What, you don't trust me?
- I just want to, you know, set boundaries.
No, I just thought it's more bonding...
- No, but I didn't expect that.
- So... - I'll see you tomorrow morning.
- You're gonna go to your room now?
Everything that she was in the pods, she's way more personable in person.
She's so much more dynamic, and has so much more personality.
At the end of the day, I think that I'm the lucky one.
I feel we're both passionate about what we believe in and not gonna change.
I feel like I do know in my head what I should do.
I can leave Mexico being a single woman.
The way I felt about Shayne, like, back in the pods, that's in the back of my head at the end of the day.
In Mexico, the couples continue taking steps toward the alter, and deal with some not-so-sexy symptoms.
- Oh, let me get yours first, actually.
- All right, we'll go straight back inside.
- Sorry, I'm awkward sometimes in person.
I was wondering if that was going on when we first saw each other.
Coming into Mexico, I was a little worried just because, um, like, at the reveal, I definitely...
You know, I was in my head.
So, I think just letting him know I reacted this way because this is not easy for me, but it has nothing to do with who you are or how I feel about you.
I'm extremely attracted to him, so I never want him to think that I'm not.
I am very, like... - I can be very awkward and...
I'm just sometimes quirky and a little awkward in person.
And, honestly, Mal, like, I know this is really, really different.
There's really nothing to compare it to.
But I just wanna say it has nothing to do with you.
I had a lot going on through my head too, when I first saw her.
And I think I was kind of taken aback by...
I was thinking about that a lot.
I felt like our kiss was a little bit...
I felt like it was missing something, but I didn't take into perspective how Mallory was feeling.
I just want you to know that I'm going through this with you too.
I told you in the pods and telling you now, this is a safe space and always will be a safe space.
- To our first time in Mexico.
- To our first time in Mexico.
So, what was your first impression when you seen't me?
It's not what I wanted, but it's fine.
I mean, like, a whole 11 inches.
I kept saying, "I'm gonna have to wear heels during sex."
He's taller than I typically want, but I will adjust to the fact that he's 6'1, and maybe I'll have back problems by the age of 30, but it's fine.
He's still him and I love his personality.
Oh, you don't know how excited I...
You don't know how much this means to me.
The first pack of film, that's for the raunchy photos.
- Rawr. - Listen... - Know what?
I thought I was gonna be too short.
- I was talking about the sun... -
- Girl, you be like, "Dang." - Mm-hmm.
Being with him, I feel really comfortable.
I want to wait until we're married to actually have sex, but I'm very attracted to him, so I'm like, "Fuck."
Being here, physically, with Shake, and bonding in this way, has definitely enhanced my feelings for him.
When we started off this experience, Shake placed so much importance on the physical aspect of the relationship.
And to me that was, like, really tough, because when I was heavier, I didn't even love myself.
And this is the first time he's seeing me in a bikini.
It's like, will he find me that attractive?
But we definitely have that physical chemistry.
- It feels so great out here.
I think our babies are gonna be so cute and smart.
I think we're both ready to commit to each other.
- And I'm excited to just... -
What? - Connect with you on all these levels.
Do you just wanna get married and just say fuck it?
I, uh... - We have the rest of our lives.
But right now, I'm also just trying to take it... one hour at a time.
First night together, honestly, feelin' a little apprehensive spending that physical time touching one another, and I don't know if I'm feeling the type of body connection that I wanted to feel.
There's things that I said, like, "We're gonna get married, gonna have babies," and stuff like that, and hearing that back from Deeps, at times, it feels amazing to hear that, but then at times, it feels really scary.
There's, like... just moments where I'm like, "Oh my God."
Maybe this is a little commitment phobia rearing its head.
It'll be hard to keep it PG-13 with you.
Have a side you like sleeping on?
We can do a lot of things differently.
He sleeps with the TV and eats in bed, and that's my worst nightmare.
So, um, we're gonna have to figure that out tonight.
You think I'll ever eat in my bed?
- I love this ring so much.
If I'm being honest, I like a late-night snack once in a while.
It takes me usually months to gain physical connection with other guys, because I'm scared for them to see me naked.
But Nick, every single time that I'm around him, I feel myself.
And I feel more confident than I ever have.
So, I'm here in paradise by myself, and it's not the same without Shaina.
The fact that she's not here makes me so upset.
Shaina wasn't sure about me after the proposal.
I know she wasn't, but I think I can change her mind about me.
Shaina decided that she should just end our trip early and go home.
It's like, well, how do I even know you're alive?
I'm gonna have to adjust a lot, I think, in order for us to move forward with our relationship.
Eventually, I'll get more confident physically around her.
Shaina is gonna be madly in love with me at the end of it.
You take up too much of the bed, bro.
- Look at all... - Oh, shit, you really don't have no space.
- It's a bad first night impression.
I'm waking up next to my fiancée and it's the first time I've actually been able to hold her while she was sleeping.
I was sitting there looking at her like, "Man, this girl is so beautiful."
That physical connection we have is as strong as our emotional connection and it's only been one day.
I can kinda get used to this.
- I like cuddling with you. -
At first, I was like, "He's so big!"
It's nice to wake up to somebody.
I feel like I've known him for at least two years.
Do you want more bread, or toast?
No, I ate one bite of bread, and threw it up immediately.
- Yeah, for sure... This would be karma, because I was making bets on who would get pregnant on the trip.
- I love her and... - ...we're physical.
- Did we even eat last night?
It's in the harder times when you realize how good people are, and the fact that he's patient, he's not acting upset that I'm ruining a day of our vacation.
- Yeah, this is the third day... -
This is the third day we've known each other in real life.
- ...in person and here I am.
And here you are at your absolute worst.
- And I haven't run for the hills yet.
You were making puppy noises all night.
No, I was just tossing and turning.
Just a lot of cuddling, lots of talking, and we're not ready to take that step yet.
Is it weird waking up next to me?
Uh, just being together in real life, I think.
I mean, I'm glad that we're taking things a little bit slower.
I think it's taking more getting used to to me than I initially thought.
In the pods, we had an amazing connection, but it's a purely emotional one, and waking up...
I don't know, it's hard to deny that I don't really feel that kind of animalistic attraction.
And, obviously, you don't judge a relationship by just one factor.
And so many of these factors are so high in...
you know, in compatibility, that I don't want to overthink this one that isn't.
But that's just something I have to figure out right now.
- On this huge bed, put it right there.
I just need a straight IV tube of coffee.
If I hear three alarms go off every morning, there'll be a divorce happening pretty quickly.
- No, it went off three times.
- Yes, I was counting in my head.
It's gonna be like that every day.
"I wanna wake up early," and then... "Beep."
I..." I know, and I was like, "I don't snooze..."
You said you don't snooze, yet you fucking click it three times the first night together.
I didn't realize I was hitting the snooze...
I had a lot of fun with Shayne last night.
- What time did we fall asleep last night?
We could've knocked boots a little longer, but... -
We explored each other's bodies well last night.
Well, you did sleep like this too.
You were modeling off your body in the middle of the night too.
I can't get close because your elbow's like a knife.
I don't know if you felt it, but I was trying to get my feet in between yours for body heat, but your subconscious state was not feeling it.
Last night was a lot of fun.
I was super nervous and awkward at first, but then, yeah,
I feel like just to be on the safe side, you know, I would...
It would ease my mind probably to stop at the pharmacy.
Um... Does this get in your way when you're sleeping?
No, it's definitely something you get used to.
- This hand is so much heavier.
- I did hear you snoring yesterday.
Sometimes I do, occasionally, but not a lot.
We have the whole day to ourselves.
So, we could go to the beach, or we could just go explore the resort a little bit.
Ready for these hands... - You don't have feminine hands.
- ...to be all up on you?
You wasn't expecting the full body massage, huh?
Iyanna wants to wait until marriage and I respect that.
Still gonna let her know I'm very affectionate, very intimate, and there's different ways to show intimacy without sex.
A good magician never tells his tricks.
- Hope yours is as good as this.
He was talking a lot of crap.
He was like, "I have the best hands."
This massage got me a little hot.
I got some soft tissue, some hard tissue.
I bet it didn't help you had keloids.
Yes, I don't know what it'd look like if I didn't have keloids...
Then this is gonna be so fun.
It's a nice little adrenaline rush for me.
I know you're scared of it tipping, but we'll be okay.
Yeah, if I'm driving, it's a problem.
I'm gonna suffocate while I'm out on the water.
This is me and Natalie's first real date.
I couldn't picture a better way to do it.
Just something fun and goofy and unique.
That's our personalities, and I feel like that's our relationship.
I knew I'd always have my Leo and Kate Winslet moment here on the water.
We'll remember this date the rest of our lives.
All right, I'm starting to get seasick.
When I got sick out there, she was very caring and very supportive, asking me how I was doing and if I needed anything.
I'm just excited with Natalie, and I don't know how I got so lucky.
You could tell me you'll always be there and care for me, but today was the first example that she actually will be.
You popped my sailing cherry and that'll never happen ever again.
- Was that the first and last time?
The first and that'll be the last.
But to hopefully many more of these fun vacations together.
You have a ring on your finger, my fiancée...
I haven't said the word "girlfriend" in four years, but it's like, I'm so happy.
You can love someone without seeing them, but I think there's...
I just love you so much more because you're beautiful too.
Oh my gosh, I think if you didn't look like you, I'd still feel the same.
Yes. - See, honestly, it's so... Stop doing that to me.
You're making it much harder than what it is.
- It kinda gets a little old after a while.
I was like, "Couldn't live with this for the rest of my life.
Shayne stood out the most to me, 'cause he's such a ball of energy.
I think we would've had a really fun, cool type of relationship, honestly.
I don't know if Jarrette saw Mallory or not.
I have a girl crush on Mallory, so I don't think I'd be paying attention if he's looking at her or not, 'cause I'm probably looking at her.
It's so crazy to see all the couples together.
- You guys enjoying your romantic getaway? -
She got some sort of stomach bug.
But I don't know what to do to make me feel better.
Looks like you love bread from this standpoint.
I'm gonna throw it right back up.
So... - At least you're close to the toilet.
It'll be romantic when her tummy feels better.
You guys fell in love, and found someone to marry without ever seeing them.
This is a chance to turn that emotional connection into a physical one.
Ladies, I would like you to meet the gentlemen, and gentlemen, I'd like you to meet the ladies who you dated, but did not propose to in the pods.
Soon we'll see how the realities of the material world, your looks, your age, your background, maybe even seeing someone here who you didn't choose...
You guys are four weeks away from your wedding.
Will you say, "I do" to the person you chose to marry sight unseen, or will you walk away from that person forever?
We certainly hope you prove it is.
Cheers to love, and happiness, and to all of you.
But when you... - On my God!
- We really were excited to see Kyle.
It was a crash course with them.
I wanted his celebrity-couple name, Shayne, to be Shaina.
I wanted him to be with Shaina just 'cause of that.
What could've happened that was that bad enough for them to leave?
It's so awesome seeing, honestly, what I feel like are my best friends right now.
I'm just gonna say the elephant in the room.
We came up with the name for you guys.
I'm so happy for him and Mal.
He's such a calming soul to me.
If Shake and I don't work out, he wants to marry you.
- Happy to be here with you.
You want me to take care of that?
I'm so happy to see Natalie and Shayne together.
The way that Shayne was described in the pods, Natalie is our Shayne.
- We all dated each other, so it's like... -
At the end of the day, we're trying to find somebody we really connect with.
My first impression of Natalie is I thought this was a girl I kicked out of a club once.
I was DJing, and it was a girl that looked just like her
and she was being super annoying, and I thought that could've been Natalie, but I'm thankful to find that it wasn't her.
I wanna have a great relationship with her.
- No, I'm self-conscious about my teeth.
- You should be thrilled by your teeth.
- Just let those babies shine and you do.
For Danielle and I, it was super anxious.
And in about five minutes, it was like, "Yeah, this is totally normal."
- Looks like some lips to me.
- Okay, did anyone get intimate... -
Between both of us, I don't kiss and tell.
Maybe I'll say, "It's none of your business."
But knowing Shayne, he's probably gonna be like, "You know..."
I tried getting back on the sailboat.
She got on the sailboat and she was rolling like a potato on it...
If I was to say somebody would make it, probably say Shayne and Natalie.
They have really good chemistry, so I feel like if anybody outside of me and Iyanna, they'll make it.
You seem like the kind of guy that like, flexes in the mirror.
That shit just translated over from the pods.
We decided we wanna wait and see shit out.
She's like the number one hype girl I could ever, ever, ever hope for.
So, she's like the number one hype girl.
I'm not physically attracted to her, man.
It feels like I'm with my aunt or something.
I didn't mean it as a joke.
Super easy going and easy to get along with.
No, no, no, no. - We get along great.
How is there not any intimacy with you and Deeps?
I thought that'd be fucking rock-solid easy.
You gotta try to keep an open mind with situations, I think.
If there was a video in that fucking place, we'd sell millions.
If I do ask for another one, pour me water.
- Pour him a shot of tequila.
I'm gonna tell Danielle as soon as I get back.
- Really? - Don't want her to get mad.
Just off her voice, I was like, "I know she's fine."
I just knew it from her voice.
Everyone here's beautiful, but even sweaty, I think you're beautiful.
- Is it weird that Mallory's here with Sal? - No, it's not.
The weirdest part is I haven't gone up and said hi to her.
- Have you said anything to her?
She hasn't done the same thing either, so... Try standing between you two.
- Just be like... - I'm fine.
Like, "I asked a girl to marry me."
"She said no, so I went to the second one."
- I'll get in when I get in.
What if she said she'd say yes?
Hey, Shake, can I talk to her for two seconds?
Did I look like what you expected me to look like?
Jarrette, I could see your fucking voice behind the goddamn wall.
The dream that I had, I said, "dark, curly hair."
That was the hardest thing I've ever done.
I had never been so caught off guard in my life.
I never thought that I was your number one.
Every time we talked, I was just, like, "Mal Mal.
- I heard everything in the morning.
I connected with both of y'all for different reasons.
The connection we had was, like... so fucking genuine.
It was literally, from day one, I was just like... -
I was mad I never got to talk to you, like, really talk to you, 'cause you wouldn't.
- What do I say at that point?
- No, you have your pride, like... - I was hurt as hell.
I have a really hard thing with trust, so for me to only rely on someone's words... -
Is Sal somebody you'd go for outside of here?
Um, no. - He's so, like... - I love Sal.
- Hence why the fuck we connected.
How did I not fucking see that shit?
But most men that are into sports and things like that, or that connect me in that aspect, they don't put me in priority.
They don't know how to fucking be like, "Hey.
You guys were both fucking the shit.
Sal talked to me, on my anniversary of my fucking...
I can't be mad that you had a strong connection with Sal.
- I put my best foot forward.
I feel like Sal and Mallory were not as close as they seem to be.
Honestly, I'm not completely convinced that it's all kosher.
I had these... - How the fuck do you really feel?
You look a little, kinda bummed right now.
I felt some kind of way about Mallory when I first saw her.
I don't know what was said, but I know she's not interested in me.
Time winds down in Mexico, but not before a tense post-party discussion, a playful group beach day, and a series of intimate revelations.
["Burn Through The Dark" by John Coggins playing]
- Everyone except Kyle and Shaina. -
I mean, everyone was like, "Oh, I bet it's because one of them is an atheist - and one of them is religious."
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...
And I was like, "So, here's the differences.
What do you think about Mallory?" -
Totally. - Yeah. - Kind of, like, reassured.
[Danielle] He asked Mallory first if she would say yes.
I mean, I wish I was there.
I just wanted to get back with you.
I literally was like, "Can I leave?
I mean, you looked like you were having fun.
What do you think I was doing out there?
Oh, I was talking to the girl about capitalism.
- What'd you think I was doing?
No, not when you were walking out.
I watched when you were walking towards the beach.
[tense music playing] I didn't walk towards the beach.
So, you were the only person that was there without someone else? -
[Danielle] It's not that I don't trust you.
It's that I don't like some situations that are gonna make this not work.
- What's going on in my head.
- This stuff is gonna cause big issues.
Because I had three hours to sit here and not do anything but be in my head.
I shut this, and I sat in the closet and cried.
[Nick] Do you think anything tonight changed the way that I feel about you?
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.
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.
- [Nick] I told you I didn't have to go.
I'm not kidding you, I don't trust anything right now.
I can't believe you don't trust me at all.
My word doesn't mean anything to you.
[woman] ♪ I'm a little tired of hearing - [Danielle] I'm not mad at you... -
You're being toxic and you gotta stop.
You're not making the active effort to stop the toxicity.
- Starting my morning skin care routine.
There's something's going on with these healing crystals on my head.
I have to say, I'm feeling really good.
- And then this one, I'm not a big... -
I'm not a fan of this one, because it seems very manufactured.
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.
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.
- [sighs] - [Nick] I feel like last night derailed.
[Danielle] So, I was upset, but when I am bubbling up like that, that's not myself.
My heart feels like I wanna forgive him and I want him to forgive me.
I love, love, love that you made sure that you ordered coffee right away, - while I was sleeping. -
[kisses] 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.
Um, it's a new feeling and it sucks.
- You wanna go to the beach? - Oh!
- I... - Like, "I'm gonna spill."
As if it couldn't get any worse in here.
- Okay, no coffee in bed for you.
[laughs] No! - I'll have to sit over here and drink it.
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.
- [Nick] I hope it's not a deal-breaker.
- I like long walks on the beach.
- How do you feel about them?
- It'd be nice to walk on the beach.
[Nick] This makes me feel like I really should've paid attention in Spanish.
[Nick] I have nothing to show for it, except "cómo está?"
[Nick] We're at the ocean in Mexico.
- With our whole lives ahead of us.
[Nick] Can you imagine anything better? -
- [Nick] You wanna go in the water?
["Paris on My Mind" by Guesthouse playing] [upbeat pop music playing]
[laughs] 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.
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.
- Um... Like, this whole trip has been a lot, and, um, I know we've hit a couple of little bumps
I guess I just wanted to apologize because I know I...
- I don't feel you meant to call me out.
- I know you called me out already.
Most other people would've probably killed you.
[emotional pop music playing] 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...
And I think, too, like, I don't ever want to make you feel... like... bad.
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...
All of this, Mal, is just a choice.
I want you to be able to choose me at the end of the day.
I want you here 'cause you want to be.
And trust me, I will never be anywhere I don't wanna be.
and I feel like we both have very similar visions of what we want.
So, to our engagement and whatever new challenges we're gonna face, Mal.
Like... - I'm here for it, okay? -
- What if we broke these glasses?
- And you're a good kisser, which is nice.
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.
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.
- [laughs] After day one, I was ready to run.
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.
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.
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.
- 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?
But it's also like, you never know who you're gonna need down the line.
She can be somewhere in HR, and I'm trying to get in HR
and she's looking for a position to hire
I mean, I also wouldn't be communicating with my ex every damn day.
- Would she be okay with that?
It's also on me to navigate that, you know...
I'd hate to have to point that out.
'Cause I'm really big on observation and just reading body language.
So, if I'm worried, then there's an issue, but I have to see it.
Would you say something in the moment?
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...
- I can't force you to do anything.
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 wouldn't be like, "Well, I don't care how you feel."
I'm trusting your words, but I also need to see it in action.
["All I Think About is You" by Hysteria playing] - Your first cenote.
You know, the ancient Incans say that each cenote... -
Yeah? - ...has a spirit of its own.
Do you hear the cave echo? -
[Shake] Oh, that's some good acoustics. -
- [Shake] This is a vibe right here.
[Deepti] Oh my God. Is it 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.
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.
[gasps] I wanna jump in so badly.
[Shake] 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 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. -
That was a sexy dolphin type of thing you did.
[Deepti] Oh boy. - [Shake] That was fun, right?
["Dirty Dancing" by Freedom playing] Sallory in the house!
[Jarrette] Y'all ready to play some volleyball?
- [Iyanna] You guys do your thing.
[laughs] - Actually, put it back on.
[Nick] The game is starting right now!
I am terrified of balls coming my way.
[laughs] ["Same Team" by Mosh Party playing]
[laughter, shouting] Shayne looks hot as shit.
[giggles] That is not a good way to describe him.
Oh, I'm going right for this one.
[laughter] - [Danielle] Oh, yeah. - Natalie, what are you doing?
I will not take an L for anything!
I don't know who let me on that volleyball court.
- Oh no! - Oh, oh, oh! - Ah! -
- [Natalie] Almost there and then he falls.
I tripped before I got to the water.
I got salt water in my eyes, so my contact was, like, burning
I don't think I realized just how extroverted you were.
I'm just worried you'll more so be annoyed at how opposite I am.
- How you just sitting down and... - Mm-hmm.
No, but that's also like I'll ask you if you want to come out.
[laughs] - This is what I'm like when I go out.
I think everyone looks really good together.
I was gonna say, I think all the boys are like really good-looking.
But I think we, as women, are out of their league
It's funny to see the dynamics of all the couples.
Jarrette was like... Kind of like, "Uh..."
He had definitely dated up until the end.
It was just so much all at once, you know.
[giggles] - I love the wavy hair.
That's so funny 'cause that's not what you said last night.
Yeah, you don't remember what you did last night.
- Do you want to be murdered?
[Shayne] Nick and Danielle look like opposite human beings.
Do you think we're way different than...
- 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.
So, do I suck every little bit out of you?
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? -
[strums] I am not talking about it.
- [smashing sounds] - What the fuck?!
[Danielle] I was gonna make you put me on your shoulders.
You'll never believe... - I'm already halfway down.
- I didn't think he'd be strong enough.
[Nick] No one thought it was possible.
I'm very curious to see how Deeps and Shake end up.
Well, Shake said that he was not at all interested in Deeps, sexually.
I try to stay out of that drama, so I told him about how much great stuff we've done.
- [giggles] Tell me about you and Danielle.
I feel like you guys had such a frigging connection and you told each other you loved each other so quickly.
I will say that it's been really fun, and we've been having a really good time.
I think Mexico has helped us connect in a lot of ways.
A little bit, but we both stopped ourself from getting there, even though we wanted to, completely.
- Are you physically attracted to him? -
He's the first brown man I've ever kissed in my entire life.
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.
["What I Should Have Said" by Photronique playing] - Cheers! - Cheers.
[clinks] - Wait, this is so good.
Best food we've eaten in Mexico so far?
But that's what I'm super excited about.
In the pods, we talked about a lot of cool things.
We can go and do things," but actually doing it with you and just like living in the moment.
[Shake] Took the words out of my mouth.
You're already taking the words out of my mouth.
That's exactly where my mind's at right now too.
I think we've been on this kind of fairy-tale vacation.
But, I'm kind of approaching a point in my life where I'm gonna have to grind.
It does make me nervous because I love to have a good time, but...
I have a lot of responsibility coming up.
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.
[laughs] 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?
At this point, I can't wait to move in together.
[laughs] - I think it's gonna be a lot of fun.
[Nick] So, am I allowed to put you as my emergency contact now?
I'm the best emergency contact, because I answer right away.
[both laugh] - We go home tomorrow.
What am I gonna cook for you?
Can't think of anything sexier than a Salisbury steak.
[giggles] - I don't even know what's...
- Is that what Salisbury steak is?
[laughs] I can't wait to make your dog like me more than he likes you.
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 will come say hi to me
- And I can't wait for you to meet him.
[laughs] Are her and Grayson gonna get along?
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.
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.
I'm, like, really scared of you judging me for how I was when I was going through that.
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.
I'm trying to understand, and I'm trying to support.
Yeah, no, and I believe you when you say that.
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.
- Like, I don't know how to handle it.
And then if I try and you get more angry, then it's like, "What do I do?"
We don't know how to navigate each other in those situations yet.
- And that's what's a huge thing.
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.
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.
Look at that full glass you got too.
- I can't talk with food in my mouth! -
- Are you excited to go back home?
I think, um... - Just having the conversations.
My mom will be fine with it.
You gonna wear that red dress for my mom?
- Why would I wear that for your mom?
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?
When you're with your guy friends, it's like a whole 'nother level.
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. -
- That's the person you love, right?
[laughs] Could you give me a little more love than that or no?
You gotta give our relationship a little more credit.
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.
and I want to too, but it's just not my style.
- Why are you getting defensive over it?
It was the way you were raising your voice at me.
Are you upset that I don't brag about our relationship?
You don't brag about your purses, your coats, you brag about how a guy treats you?
I think you have such high expectations.
I'm not gonna always be, like, super affectionate with you.
You're really freaking out at me right now, I feel like.
I'm not fr... Did I raise my voice?
I'm just like shutting down during it right now.
["Burn" by Sad Puppy playing] I'm done.
[sighs] I'm the fuck out of here.
[Shaina] Oh my God, hi! - Hi.
- [laughs] - I'm not being weird.
Well, I don't know where we're standing.
I just was not comfortable spending the night together.
- Hi! - Hi. - Thank you.
I thought about what it'd be like to be married to you.
I'm not gonna let go and give up that easy on us.
I've been looking for somebody, seriously, that is like you.
High-energy, fun, I don't have to act pretentious and smart.
- You get me the most, by far.
I'm worried about the logistical life that we're gonna have together.
At the end of the day, it does worry me, because these things that we're fighting about, - I'm never gonna change.
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?
I want to stay true to my core and my beliefs.
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 said yes to Kyle, but I can't stop thinking about Shayne.
I do have love for Shayne, still at the end of the day.
If it's true love, time reveals all truth.
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.
[soaring pop music playing] 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 a very emotional person, so I'm trying not to cry, but I'm also just very excited to... - Go to real life.
- Yeah, to be in Chicago with him.
All good things must come to an end, huh?
Well, that's kind of a depressing way to say it.
On to chapter three. - On to the next adventure.
No more sexy beach rendezvous and cocktails, right?
- No, no, no. - We are throwing them back into reality.
This is the longest I've gone without talking to you in my entire life.
- She said, "Do you really love her?" - I do.
- Okay. - Welcome to our home.
...where they're going to be living together in a new shared apartment.
[Deepti] I feel like this is gonna be our real test.
[Nick Lachey] Will they judge each other based upon what they discover in the real world?
Will looks, age, race, family, even financial circumstances matter? -
[Iyanna grunts] - 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?
- A little wine for us if you want.
We were gone for almost three weeks.
But I was just closing out of everything right now.
- No more work for the night, yeah?
- There's plenty of time for all that.
Mm? - Something has been on my mind.
- Do you wanna sit down and talk?
[exhales] 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 guess it worried me that you and him were talking for so long
When we talked before, you were like, "I'm not jealous."
[tense music playing] 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.
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
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.
And it's not even, like, what was necessarily said, so...
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."
Like maybe I'm a little bit in my head then too.
Maybe you really don't wanna get married to me.
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 it had affected you like that.
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.
I don't understand why he would make that comment to you.
Even with your fiancée there, you're still saying this shit about someone else.
If we're gonna get married in two weeks, I'm not fucking around.
I had things going on yesterday, outside of meeting your family.
I mean, I wanna know that you're prioritizing me.
I think we should move in together.
- [Natalie] Do you wanna see the ring?
Don't they say you should marry your best friend?
But you should also feel that they're more than a best friend.
[phone chimes] We have such big issues.
I think I'm at a breaking point.
[drumming] [Natalie] I never thought that this would happen to me.
This has the potential to be one of the saddest days of my life.
[Deepti] We fell in love solely based on who we are on the inside, but I don't know that it is enough.
[officiant] Now is the time to decide... if love is truly blind.
Do you take him to be your husband?
[officiant 2] Do you take her to be your lawfully wedded wife?
This is not how I pictured my wedding day to be ever. -
["I Will Be There" by NineOneOne playing]
The couples bid farewell to paradise, head back to reality, reconnect with family and reexamine a host of hot topics with fresh eyes.
I can't imagine a life without her, and we never have actually seen one another.
I'm on one knee, and I'm asking you if you will marry me.
He loves me for who I am.
I've never loved someone like this before.
This engagement, it's gonna be a problem.
I do have feelings for Kyle, but at the same time, I do have feelings for Shayne.
I'm just scared that I made a wrong decision.
That physical connection is as strong as our emotional connection.
Being here physically with Shake, and bonding in this way has definitely enhanced my feelings for him.
I don't know if I'm feeling the type of body connection that I wanted to feel.
- I just show my love differently.
I was thinking that for the first night we'd spend the night in separate rooms.
Regardless of him deciding to marry Natalie, I'm here to find my husband.
If it's true love, time reveals all truth.
Um, I'm so glad we talked it out before we came here, because coming into this apartment with...
I don't know, feeling really good about this.
Obviously, we have things to work on.
- I didn't realize I was stubborn, but... -
I never would've described myself as stubborn.
I know you are, but I didn't realize I was.
- Did you know I was stubborn?
You'd kill me, like you say all the time.
- Um... I think if we didn't argue, it would be too good to be true.
Of course, I would never leave you.
In Mexico, besides the argument we had at dinner, it was literally perfect.
Our differences just mesh really well together.
Now in the real world, we've got work and friends and family, and there's a lot more distractions, but our wedding is three weeks away, and I'm so excited for it.
Once you fall in love with someone, and you know you'll be with them for the rest of your lives, like... nothing else matters.
Being able to end my day with you will be awesome.
- Yeah, coming home to my best friend.
And I still can't believe we're gonna get married in three weeks.
We need to start thinking about that.
But I also want you to be happy too.
I wanna wear like, a tux cape.
I'll give you the biggest wedding in the world.
It's like a trench coat kind of thing, but a tuxedo.
My mom's gonna be so excited because she manifested you, I feel like.
A lot of pressure to be manifested by somebody.
She's like, "Please go for the cute Indian man if you find him."
I was like, "No, Mom, not happening.
Why would you mix a palate cleanser with... - No, the ginger is the palette cleanser.
That's like saying, "Spaghetti and meatballs?" - "Whoa, who would've thought?"
- No. - We're gonna make a bet here.
Loser has to plan a really fun date night.
Palette cleanser, do not mix it with the soy sauce.
For ginger, place a piece in your mouth between eating different kinds of sushi.
- Now I have to plan a date night?
See, your side of the bed's the middle.
It doesn't matter which side you end up on.
It's away from the windows and I'm scared of heights.
So I can fall out of the window in my sleep.
We have a huge couple of days ahead of us.
We're meeting each other's friends and family.
My biggest downfall is the way that I kind of think about things, or overthink things.
I wanna make sure that I don't let my own stupid brain get...
You know I like that about you.
You like it until you're at the expense of it.
Every single relationship I've seen, you've seen, both of our parents have ended in divorce.
And so I'm not gonna put myself in a situation where I even think that that's an option, but I also don't want any of my decisions to take me away from you.
Well, if you remember when we got engaged, and it was my whole thought process and it was your own thought process, it's like we can write our own story.
If in your mind, you have a hesitation, tell me.
Will I be ready for marriage in three weeks?
- So, welcome to my humble abode.
Why you got so many shot glasses?
I'm excited for Iyanna to see my place, especially if this is a place she's gonna call home when we get married.
Not enough space in her place for me, so she's definitely moving in with me.
There's no way I'm moving into a studio.
- Is this where the magic happens?
- It smells like you in here.
There's literally no room in here for me.
I knew it as soon as you said, "Who got me that?"
This meant something, to her and to you.
I don't believe in keeping gifts from exes.
I don't believe in staying friends with the exes.
The fact that he has a whole personalized gift is weird.
I've already seen how he is with Mallory.
So, it bothers me just a little bit.
I need to know that I'm the only one who he wants to be with.
But if I keep seeing things, and things keep coming up, then I'm gonna be like, "What is really going on here?"
That's what you look like in eighth grade.
Change your mind about our kids playing football?
It's cute and all, but it won't be cute when, in 20 years down the road, they got head concussion issues.
I told you I've dated two football players and they was a little slow.
- We're gonna work on this in 2000...
We said we would revisit in a year.
You really wanna revisit it in three.
Is that why you almost chose Mallory?
Because she's more established and she can just have kids?
Sometimes I wonder what was the difference between us.
And I know she's more established than I am.
And I know it's a lot to take on someone who isn't as established and you have to support them more.
If I'm having kids and getting my Masters at the same time, that's a lot.
I wonder if that's the difference between me and Mallory.
I do feel meant to be with Shayne, but I accepted the proposal from Kyle for a reason.
I love how he makes me feel.
I love that he makes me think, he makes me feel confident in the relationship, where we stand.
A part of me is like, "I wanna see where it could go."
"This person's sister's married to an atheist, and she's Christian, and they've had the best 25 years of marriage."
And so, he needs to meet my family, so I can have more clarity on our relationship and our situation.
- Want to give them to her yourself?
I never have a problem meeting parents, anyone's parents.
If anything, they're always like, "What's the catch?"
Why do you wanna get married to my sister?
Do you just wanna get married, or get married to her?
We're taking it one day at a time.
What's the tallest building you've worked on?
But anything over 30, they're all the same.
- Do you do sports and stuff?
No, I was never really into sports.
I rode dirt bikes as a kid and... - Cool. -
So, I wear it on my thumb.
I didn't think I was gonna give it.
I brought it, but I didn't think I'd give it to her.
But she reminds me of my mom.
I like the fact that you guys are awesome.
That'd be the best part, is just getting to spend time together.
If you like the outdoors, having fun, riding dirt bikes.
Yeah, do you believe in Christ our Savior?
- Are you open to it or closed?
We've talked about it so much lately, and how much Shaina grew up with it.
I never put much thought into it.
I know where my kids stand in their walk with God.
I don't worry where they're going if they should die.
I do wonder where do we go, besides the ground.
How long until you guys are getting married?
If it doesn't happen in two weeks, it's just never gonna happen, right?
To be honest, I think Shaina looks like a deer in headlights.
She wants someone who's committed in her faith.
That's what she wants more than anything.
And I don't think Kyle can give her that.
I just don't think Kyle's the one for her.
I would not be able to give Shaina my blessing.
Are you excited? - Hello! - Hi!
Today I'm meeting my fiancé's family for the first time, and this is a really big deal.
I want them to know that my intentions with her are pure, and that I do love her, and now we're engaged.
- I'm so excited to see you guys.
- Nice to finally meet you all.
Oh! - You have a kind face.
- I wonder where you get it from.
I have a lot of questions for you.
You've got to be really certain that this is something you want to go forward with.
- You're a little bit older than she is.
- Would it be better if he'd been married?
Sometimes people are a bit relationship phobic.
So, for me, I come from a divorced family, and I grew up always wanting to not follow that pattern for my life.
And that's one of the things we connected on so early on.
