Knowing that Micah has chosen to spend the rest of her life with me,
not having ever seen me before,
that is a magical thing that I was not entirely convinced
existed prior to this.
[exhales]
But is psychological love all you need for a long-term relationship?
What I'm most nervous about is what she looks like
and what she feels like,
because at the end of the day, the feeling is like,
"Are you attracted to them? Do you wanna put your face on their face?"
[Micah chuckles] My stomach is in shambles.
I have never been so nervous in my entire life.
My God. [chuckles]
The only thing that would make me walk away from my fiancé
is if I could just see in his face that he was disappointed.
I think that an ego hit like that would probably destroy me. [chuckles]
[chuckling]
- Oh, my God. - [laughing]
What?
- That felt like an eternity. - Absolutely. Thought I was gonna pass out.
Oh, my God.
[Micah laughing] Oh, my God!
Oh, my God. That felt insane.
- Hello! - [laughs] Hey. It's so strange.
Oh, my God. This is so weird! Hello!
- I know. - Oh, my God, hearing your voice.
- My hands are shaking. - I know. Same.

[Paul] She smelled great. Her hair, her eyes were beautiful.

it... it's insane.
I literally feel like a little kid right now. [laughs]
Like, I cannot stop, like, giggling. Like, I feel so weird. [laughs]
Do you feel like you're sitting with me, or do you feel like it's a new person?
- 'Cause I feel like it's a new person. - Yeah, I didn't wanna say that, but yeah.
[laughing] I'll be honest with you. It's okay.
Yeah, I had a feeling that it was gonna feel different,
but, yeah, it's combining the two that's gonna be...
I think it'll come over time.
Perfect. One thing at a time, Paul. [laughs]
- Oh, my God. This is so weird seeing you. - [both laugh]

For sure.
I'm definitely excited.

I was really conflicted with Josh and Marshall,
but Marshall basically was like, "Look, like, that's my girl."
"She's coming home with me, and that's that."
And I did not want to see Josh after that,

He's gonna help me grow.
He is emotionally available.
He's able to handle my spiciness, my attitude.
He knows how to basically make sure that I'm feeling good and solid,

So, I'm gonna have to really boss up if I'm gonna be with Marshall.

- [chuckles] They're here. - [Zack] You went all out in here.
[Irina] This looks so cheesy, but still kind of cute.
- Aww! - [Zack] Wow.
Is it-- you got Ralph?
Wait! This is so cute.
Yeah. He's not a gift. You can't keep him.
[Irina] Oh, no promises. You're gonna have to see me before I give him back.
[Zack laughs] Shut your mouth. You're gonna leave him in there.
[laughing] Wait, this is so cute!
[sighs] This is cute!
[chuckles]
The story with Ralph, I've had him since I was three.
I didn't really have any stability as a kid.
I would move, you know, every, like, three months...
sometimes, and I always was, like, in a new house, a new place, and,
um, Ralph was the one thing that I took with me
from place to place.
When my mom died, I, uh,
I found him in a box that she was still holding onto.
So, I thought I'd bring him with me for one more trip.
- [sighs] - Wait, this is so special.
- Yeah, it's pretty special. [chuckles] - [Irina] I think-- I think he likes me.
- [Zack] Well, that's good. - I'll keep him safe for you.

[Irina] Okay, I don't feel special anymore.
- And I kind of wanna go home tonight. - [Zack] Stop!
I'm serious. I can't do this.
Like, I was talking to Micah today, and I was like,
"I'm gonna pack my suitcase. I'm ready to go home."
[Zack] Stop!
What? Like, I know that sounds so dramatic, but I'm telling you,
I can't sit there and wait for you to say, like, yes or no.
Like, I can't walk into Bliss making fucking cupcakes for you.
You know how hard that was yesterday?
I know who I am. I know what I stand for.
- I know. - [Irina] I know what I bring to the table.
And I know what I feel with you, and if you're still unsure about that
after ten straight hours of dating with Bliss,
I can't handle that.
- You have had ten straight hours with her. - Yeah.
I've been waiting all day to talk to you.
It has nothing to do with me, like...
not loving you. [sighs]
It has nothing to do with that.
Like, what's the difference between me and Bliss?
I know that I'm smart.
Like, I really think I'm a smart person.
I would say, like, more street smart, if that makes sense.
I have a business, all these things.
I know that I may not have the best vocabulary or, like,
these fancy words that I say to you to impress you.
- [Zack] Okay. - And maybe Bliss has those.
She's also way older than me.
Like, I'm 25 years old, and she's probably closer to your age,
and maybe you see her more as, like, wife material,
but, like, deep down in your heart,
like, what do you see in Bliss that you don't see in me?
I would love to know.
With you, the connection is just fire.
I'm so drawn to you.
And I think one concern I have is, I think
you're a little bit more...
- ...vicious than I am. - [chuckles]
And, um,
Bliss, you know, she doesn't like you.
Um, that doesn't make you a bad person.
If you think something about me is not kind or vicious, like you said...
Like, I cannot believe you said that to me, 'cause it's a little shocking.
If that's what you feel talking from our conversation,
that says enough to me.
[Zack] So, let me finish.
I don't think you're vicious.
I think that if someone hurts you...
or you feel like someone has hurt someone you care about,
you will... hurt them back.
I-- I understand that.
She doesn't know who you are.
I know that you have this deep heart.
And I want you to know, like, how beautiful I really think you are...
because I do think you're incredibly beautiful on the inside.
I don't care how you fucking look like, Zack.
I don't care if you're a dweeb or a nerd or tall or short.
No matter what, like, I want you to know,
like, I'm always gonna think the world of you.
When I talk to you, I know that you love me.
And it's actually real,
and there's no strings attached to it.
Like, I trust you. Like, I really fucking trust you,
and that means more than
anything, really.

I know there's been some shit that's gone down,

I think Bliss thinks Irina is, like, a bad person.
I really trust Irina, like, on a deep level, and it's crazy
'cause I don't really trust many people, like, at all.
Trust is really hard for me.

then that would show me the type of person you are."

[Bliss] Don't worry about my family.

that's not gonna change the way that I feel about you.
But they will accept you.
And, like, as they get to know you,
like, I believe that they would grow to love you.
I think that you are a better person than you think you are,
and I am in awe of you. Like, I truly, deeply am.

I love you too.
But... when we started talking about Irina...
I understand that you guys have a very fucking bad relationship.
It's really not that bad. It really isn't. Like, I-- [sighs]
What concerned me is when you said that
if I were to pick her,
that would show the kind of judge of character I have.
You're right that you know her in a different way.
And I see her in capacities you don't. You see her in capacities that I don't.
I just see things that aren't good, honestly.

It's okay.
So, he's choosing Irina?
I mean, I didn't ask him.
- Um, did you try to fight for it? - [Bliss] I mean...
What am I gonna do?
- [Tiffany] Do you feel like...? - I feel I have fought for it. Like, I--
I really have.
And, like, he-- he made his decision, you know.
It's not that we don't have love for each other, you know.
Like, he told me he loved me.
It's just not-- I'm not his wife, right? So... [sniffles]
'Cause he knows exactly how I feel. But I'm not gonna sit there and be like,
"You're making the wrong decision." Like, I'm not gonna do that to him.
The person who I'm gonna be with, like, will know it in their heart,
and they'll choose me, and I won't have to, like, be like,
"You're making a mistake," you know.
Because, like, for him, he's not making a mistake.
This is the right choice for him.
- [Tiffany] Yeah. - That's the way he feels, so...

[Kwame] So...
the funny thing about what I'm wearing today, right, is that...
Um... [clears throat]
I always wear black jeans all the time.
And, um, when I came here,
I had, like, all my outfits picked out with black jeans.
- They're my thing. - Mm-hmm.
[Kwame] And then this morning,
I woke up and realized I couldn't find any of my black jeans.
But the crazy thing is
I put on a pair of my light tan khakis.
- And I looked in the mirror. - [Chelsea] Mm-hmm.
"Damn, you know what? That looks good."
"I love it."
And, like, the crazy thing about how things have been
for us so far is, like,
I'm sure we both came here with what this perfect idea or perfect thought
or perfect process would be, right?
As time went on...
it went from what was perfect to us to what we actually needed.
[Chelsea] Hmm.
[Kwame] 'Cause the thing is,
nothing's perfect.
[Chelsea] Mnh-mnh.
[Kwame] 'Cause if it was perfect, it wouldn't be real.
And the one thing that I know you have given me every single time
that we have stepped in this pod is
the best version of you.
- And the best version of the real you. - [Chelsea] Mm.
[inhales]
[exhales]
[sighs]
So, Chelsea Lauren Griffin.
I'm about to get on my knee.
I spent all morning trying to figure out which one it was.
- I still don't know. - [both laugh]
- We'll figure out if I pick the right one. - It doesn't matter. [chuckles]
But, um...
[sighs]
[Chelsea sniffles]
I'm just so excited...
[Chelsea sighs]
...to wake up next to you every single day
and not worry about how we can be perfect,
but always think about how incredibly real we can be.
[Chelsea] Mmm.
[Kwame] That's the life I want.
And that's the perfect life for me. [chuckles]
And so, as you stand on the other side of this wall...
I wanted to ask you...
if you would be willing to marry me.
[chuckles]
- Can I just say a few words? - [Kwame] Please, please do.
I feel like our love story was the most beautiful slow dance.
It was
secure and soft
and healthy and loving.
And you are
an amazing, amazing, amazing person.
You're an amazing son.
You are an amazing brother, friend, uncle.
[inhales]
- And guess what. - What?
I can't wait to add "husband" to that list.
[laughing]
- For real? For real? - [Chelsea] A thousand times, yes!
[laughing]
[Chelsea] Oh, my God, yes, yes, yes!
[laughs]
I would be so deeply honored
to be your wife.
["Fences" by Aaron Kellim playing]
- I love you. - I love you, baby.
- When we first met here in the pods... - [Irina chuckling]
...I told you that I was homeless...
[chuckling]
...and that I lived under an underpass.
And you didn't care.
I'm not sure if you knew I was joking or not, but...
I knew that there was something special about you.
And after everything we've been through since we've been here,
Irina, I have gotten to slowly know you
on a deeper and a deeper level.
And I've seen the woman that you are at the core.
And I know that you would never give up on me,
no matter how bad things got.
[smacks lips]
So I wrote you a song.
Aww. [laughs]
- Okay, I'm ready for it. - [Zack] Are you?
[laughs] Yes.

I have a million thoughts running through my mind,
but all I can think is, I can't wait to change the world with you.
And there's truly no one I see myself doing that with other than you.

This is one of the most important moments of my life.
And I woke up today, like, giddy as I've ever been in my whole life,
like, better than Christmas morning, because I get to see my fiancé.
I get to hold him. I get to smell him for the first time.
I came into this experiment
never having felt that deep knowing
that, like, married couples talk about, of like, "when you know, you know,"
and I have that feeling now.
Kwame and I, we just, like, get each other on another level.
Our souls are such an amazing out-of-this-world match.
[Kwame] Through this experience,
I've realized that it came down to finding someone
who was looking for the same end goal as you.
The journey is gonna wind.
It's gonna go left. It's gonna go right. You can't predict the journey,
but we're hoping for the same thing, which is happiness at the end of it all.
[exhales]
Let's go. Let's meet your hubs.
[sighs loudly]
I mean, I'm confident in what I look like,
but is he gonna think I'm beautiful?
I hope so.
[chuckles] I don't know really if I'm even his type physically.
If I'm not his type, I hope that who I am becomes his type.
I want to stop filling in the unknown.
I just wanna know.
I just wanna see him, wanna feel him.
I wanna smell him. [inhales]
I wanna kiss him.

[Zack] I listened to my heart.
And I listened to what my gut was saying, and they were aligned
in the connection that I have with Irina.
She makes me feel so loved,
and she has since we, like, met each other.
The way she just makes me feel so special when we talk to each other.
I wanna marry someone who's marrying me because they love who I am as a person.
And with Irina,
she could care less how successful I am.
She could care less how much money I make, what I do.
Regardless of what happens, I'll be able to trust her.
That's what I've been looking for.
[Irina] When I think of the type of love I'm looking for, it is crazy passionate.
I wanna be madly, crazy in love or nothing at all.
And I feel that madly-crazy-in-love passion with Zack.
When I think of a future with him, I think of someone I can do life with,
and I love how I can feel myself around Zack.
Like, there's no doubts about him in my mind.
And that's what makes me so excited about him.
Like, this could be my forever.
And I sound crazy saying it. Like, it sounds absolutely insane.
But I know what I feel, and I can't deny it.
[Zack] Oh, Jesus.
I'm excited,
and I'm really nervous about us meeting for the first time in person.
We have this deep intimate connection that we've developed,
where we know so much about each other. But right now we're just voices.
She has no idea what I look like. She has no idea how tall I am,
what color hair I have, what color skin I have.
But knowing Irina, I don't think it's gonna matter.
[Irina] I don't know what to expect when I see Zack.
I thought of all the worst-case scenarios,
and I still think I can look past most of them.
I know that I have a connection with Zack, so I'm not too worried about that.
[laughing] Hopefully, the first words out of Zack's mouth are "holy shit."
I think I'm beautiful,
but if I'm not his type, then he-- he can go find someone else. [laughs]
But I just wanna see him. Like, I'm so burnt out of, like,
overthinking about it, to be completely honest.
So, I don't know. We'll see when I see him.
