I will! [laughs]
You gonna be my Puerto Rican wife?
Yes, I will be your Puerto Rican wife!

[Lydia] Hello. Who is this?
Uh, my name is Uche.
Fuck!
Lydia?
One of my dates was a girl that I have dated in the past.
It's Lydia.
I know everything about him because I know him.
[exhales]
I'm in love with Aaliyah, and I'm going to ask Aaliyah to marry me.
Last time we saw each other, this year, we slept together.
[Uche] Hello?
[man on mic] Uche, unfortunately,
Aaliyah has decided to not continue with the experiment.

[sighs]
[Uche] It doesn't make any sense.
-[Milton] Did you guys argue yesterday? -[Uche] No.
She didn't express any kind of doubts.
At all.
[Izzy] Maybe she was just, like...
-It's too much. -Like, didn't wanna tell you no.
I felt deeply for Johnie,
and that was fucking hard.
Maybe she just got cold feet.
Yeah, I'm so confused. Something has to have happened.
She saw Lydia get engaged, right?
[Milton] I mean...
[Milton] We obviously didn't talk about it.
Wait, so you think she thought Lydia was engaged to you?
No.
It's one thing for everybody to have exes.
[Izzy] Mmm-hmm.
And it's another to be essentially living
with the ex of the person that you're thinking about marrying.
[dramatic music playing]
[Uche] I knew Lydia before I came here.
I've dated Lydia before.
[Milton] I found out. Then we talked about it.
-It is what it is. -[Uche] Doesn't matter.
I mean, it's shitty on her end to not give you that closure,
you know, just to leave you hanging like that.
There's gotta be something I'm missing.

[man] Correct.
[sighs] I'm so confused.
She didn't express any kind of reservations yesterday.
We were on the same page.
She told me that she loves me. I told her that I love her.
She says that she could see herself marrying me.
She can see a life with me.
[laughs] And to just walk away without saying anything...
[exhales]
[downbeat music playing]
[sighs and chuckles] It's just...
[exhales] This doesn't make any sense.
I can't accept this without having the chance to talk to her.
Like, I need to talk to her.
[woman on mic] If you have an interest in reaching out,
Marco can try calling her and ask her if she wants to talk to you.
If you just wanna leave and do that on your own time,
that's totally your call.
[exhales]
I need to talk to her.
[woman] Do you want Marco to see if she picks up and just say,
"I'm here with Uche. Do you wanna talk to him?"
Yeah.
[Marco] Hi.
[Marco] I know we have a lot to catch up on.
However, I do have Uche here.
And I wanted to know if you'd like an opportunity to talk to him.
Okay.
-[Aaliyah on phone] Okay. -[Marco] I'm going to pass him the phone.
[Aaliyah] Okay.
[Uche] Hello?
[Aaliyah sighs] Uche.
[Uche] Aaliyah, what happened?
[Aaliyah exhales]
There was, like, an exchange of words between Lydia and I...
[Uche sighs]
...that didn't really go well.
Um...
We talked about this, Aaliyah.
Things changed.
What, what, what... What did Lydia say?
I was on edge a little, Uche. I was.
I told her, "If you didn't propose,
maybe you could have him back if you wanted."
And she was just like, "Fuck you. I don't want him back."
Why would you say something like that?
'Cause I'll be honest, I feel like she smothers me a little bit.
Every time she comes, she brings you up.
Why does all of that matter? It happened.
[sobbing] Uche, I'm sorry.
You let some girl come in between us?
Because of something she said?
When you love somebody,
you don't just leave without telling them anything.
Please don't.
Are you at home right now? Where are you?
At home.
Why didn't you stay here and talk to me?
How do you feel about me right now?
I still love you. I still want you.
Then why aren't you here?
[melancholy music playing]
[Aaliyah sobbing]
[Uche exhales]
Uche, I do love you. I do.
If you love somebody, you... you talk to them.
-This... -This isn't a normal environment.
I know it's not a normal environment, but that's the entire point.
The point is if we can get through a stressful situation,
that means it's going to work in a marriage.
I would not do that in a marriage.
If you can't put up with the situation
of even being in the room with somebody that I used to date...
-You would be my husband by then. -No. No, Aaliyah.
We would never get to that point.
If you can't get through something like this,
we will never get to that point.
[inhales]
[exhales]
I can't believe some girl said something to you
and you let that come in between us.
How do you not know that when she was at your place earlier this year,
she didn't see an email and apply to be on this damn show?
[dramatic music playing]
Are you fucking kidding me right now?
Did you seriously just ask me that?
I don't know how she's... and you are both here in the first place.
I don't either, Aaliyah,
and I told you that.
I don't fucking know how she's here.
[sobbing] It's just bullshit, the whole situation of...
You keep on talking about her though.
Like... [scoffs]
Because I don't have you yet!
You had one day! You had one day!
One day! You had to sit in a room with a girl for one day,
and you chose to go home instead.
I don't feel like it's fair for you to say
that I just don't value you or what we have,
because I did something to protect me.
Exactly. You thought about yourself. You didn't think about me at all.
Are you thinking about me right now?
[Uche laughs] I'm literally here getting ready to propose to you,
to tell you I wanna spend the rest of my life with you.
[angrily] Yes, I'm thinking about you! That's the only thing I'm thinking about!
You didn't even write me a letter. I got nothing.
You couldn't even say goodbye? Nothing?
I was going to, but I didn't have time to do that in the moment.
[scoffs] Oh, I cannot believe this.
Oh, I'm so stupid.
You're not stupid.
[laughs] I'm such a fucking idiot.
No, you're not.
[groans] This is exactly what I thought was gonna happen.
I was gonna let myself get close to the wrong person.
Okay, well, if that's how you feel, then maybe we don't need to keep talking.
No, we're not gonna keep talking, Aaliyah.
[sobbing] Can you please not make that decision right now?
I don't wanna talk to her.
I don't want her phone number.
[sighs] I don't wanna see her again.

[Lydia] For my whole entire life,
guys have been interested in me for what I look like.
This is the first time
that someone has cared about me
for what I have to offer based on my personality,
soul, likes, passion.
Falling in love with Milton
and he falling love with me feels the epiphany of happiness.
No, it's "epitome." He did say that he needed to teach me English.
[laughs]
[romantic music playing]
[Milton] Finding a person like Lydia in my life
that really understands me,
that gets my humor, that gets where I come from,
that's something I could never live without.
Whether she's super loud and kind of bossy
or how emotional she is
and, like, how caring she is,
it feels like I have talked to my best friend.
[sighs]
[Lydia gasps] Oh, my God.
[Milton] Typically, like, the man is a little bit older,
by, like, a year or two.
And in this case, the man happens to be younger
by almost six, closer to seven years.
I got a haircut yesterday,
and I feel like my mustache isn't as thick.
I'm, like, smooth right here.
Feeling a little insecure about that. Like, "Damn, of all days."
I think I look really fucking young, okay? That's the truth.
I don't have a little bit of aftershave that can give me that extra year.
So now I really look 24.
Lydia's about to be 31,
and she might see me and be like, "Shit, he looks 12."
[suspenseful music playing]
[Lydia] I have no clue how he looks like.
It's like... I cannot even put a picture, like...
I don't know if he's white or Black. Is he too tall? Is he too short?
Definitely, like, it's gonna be a surprise.
But I can say that love is truly blind,
and I love him for who he is.
But will that change once I see him?

-I tried not to look at those though. -[laughs]

Hi! Here, waking up with my boo.
First night together. Well, first morning together.
-How are you feeling? -Pretty good.
It feels amazing.
[Milton] When I woke up today and I kind of looked at her,
for a second I was like, "Is this real life?"
[chuckles]
[Milton] Like, holy shit, like, we're actually here.
Like, that wasn't a dream.
I could get used to it for sure.
Did you expect that it was gonna be this easy to sleep with me?
-Yes. -You were?
I thought it was gonna be very easy to sleep with you.

-[Izzy whispers] Wake up. -Hmm?
-[Izzy] Wake up. -No.
[laughs]
[Izzy] Last night was the best night of my life.
I felt really comfortable sleeping with you.
I didn't feel awkward.
-You're a good cuddler. -Yeah, so are you.
You're a hot sleeper though.
You were honestly such a peaceful sleeper.
-That's shocking. -Really?
Yeah, 'cause I usually, like, toss and turn.
[Izzy] Hmm.
I felt like, if you ever tossed or turned, like, you would just turn over.
It was sweet. You would give me a kiss, and then you would just lie on my chest.
-[Stacy laughs] Are you sure it was me? -Yeah.
I'd say that was definitely a surprise, but a good surprise.
Uh, how about you?
-The most surprising thing? -Mmm-hmm.
[Stacy] Hmm.
[whispers] That you're big.
-[laughing] -[lively music playing]
I was like, "Oh, yay!"
[laughing]
[Stacy sighs]
-So we broke a barrier. -Mmm-hmm.
What else did we break a barrier on last night?
-I broke the toilet. -[laughing]
-Let me go check things out. -[laughing]
Make sure we don't have a situation on our hands.
Or on the floor.
[Izzy] Oh, God.
[Stacy] I'll give you on a scale of one to ten,
one being, like, we're in the clear, and ten being, like...
-Call maintenance? -[both laughing]
Yes. Oh, God.
Nope. Still not flushing.
Um, we just need a plunger.
Or maintenance.
-Well... -I'm one strong woman.
[laughing] Stacy clogged the toilet.
She can rip some ass.

Let's get ready and go.
[upbeat music playing]
-[JP chuckles] Good morning. -Good morning.
-[JP] How'd you sleep? -So good.
[Taylor] I feel like I cuddled you all night, though.
[JP] Most of the night.
I told you. I'm always gonna be touching.
-Did you like sleeping with me? -Yeah.
Finally, no more sleeping alone.
Mmm-mmm. Never.
[Taylor] Wanna get up and have coffee?
-You want some coffee? -Yeah.
-[JP] Let's make some coffee. -Let's do it.

[Taylor] Oh, no. Way too hot.
-Take a minute for it to cool down. -[exhales]
[JP] Yeah.
Feels kind of good on my hands though, 'cause it's...
-So warm? -Yeah, and it's freezing in here.
[Taylor] Okay.
[JP exhales]
It's actually not too hot, like I thought it was gonna be.
-Are you gonna shower this morning? -Yeah, I need to.
[Taylor] I don't know. Maybe it's nerves.
Maybe it's seeing me for the first time.
Maybe he was relying on me the whole time in the pods to make conversation,
but, like, when I voiced it to him last night,
he said, "Well, you can just talk." Like, "You can just talk."
And that's not how a relationship works.
And I was like, "Do you not care? I'm confused."
He just, like, brushes it under the rug like it's nothing.
Do you think that you could sleep with me for the rest of your life?
[clears throat]
I don't... [chuckling]
It was nice.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was nice.

-[Lydia] You didn't put on any sunblock. -No, I'm all right.
But that's how you get old faster.
But it's okay. You can get old faster. You look like a baby.
-I think I can pass for, like, 27. -No, you can't.
-How old do I look? -Twenty-four.
Actually, 21.
When I first saw you, I freaked out. I was like, "Fuck, he does look his age."
I was like, "Yeah, this girl is old as fuck."
-Oh, my God! -[laughing]
So how do you feel about this morning's direction?
Which one?
When we were getting action and sex.
-And then we got interrupted! -Room service.
I don't think it's meant to be. [chuckles]
I don't think so either.
I don't think you have shared really with me what you like.
Dude, as a guy, sex just always feels good.
I've never, like, been like, "Damn, that was just bad sex."
-Like, even if I do all the work... -There's bad sex.
Yeah, for girls.
I'm watching these kids, and I'm like, "Oh, I don't want that!"
-I know! It's like, shit, reality check! -They would cry.
And we're talking about practicing making babies.
Uh-uh. No kids right now.
We're gonna do a lot of practice, 'cause practice makes perfection.
And in five years, is it, that we agree? [laughing]
-I am gonna... -Yeah. Five.
-I'm like, "Holy shit." -Can we round it up?
I'll round up to ten.
No, that's too much. I'm gonna be old as fuck.
You already are.

[Izzy] I think the only one that I am concerned about is Lydia.
Just don't go talking Spanish to Lydia.
-So I don't know what's going on. -Yeah, I promise. I'll talk in English.
If she talks in Spanish, I'm gonna be like...
-No comprende. [laughs] -[Izzy] No comprendo.

[Lydia] Hello! Hello!
Damn, I'm the only one shirtless? Oh, I look like a douchebag.
[all shouting and exclaiming]
-[Milton] How you been, bro? -I've been great, bro.
Seeing Izzy today, just like,
"Yes, he's the guy that I usually go for."
But I love Milton to the moon and beyond.
It doesn't matter what Izzy looks like.
I have no regrets.
[Lydia] We need to get the party started.
Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
[laughing]
[Lydia] Yay! Yay!
[upbeat music continues]
-[Lydia exclaiming] -[indistinct chatter]
[Stacy] Let's go, boys!
-[Lydia] A little more! -[Izzy] Fuck!
[Lydia] JP, you can do better, baby!
-[Stacy] JP! -[Lydia screaming]
JP. Good ol' boy.
[Milton] JP's a good partner.
[Stacy] All right, I'm going.
Milton is a baby. I would think he flies by the seat of his pants.
-[Lydia] Ouch! -[Stacy] We call it, "The surgeon."
So, in an operation, everyone preps a surgery room,
and the surgeon's the main event.
They're the ones that fix things. What does the surgeon do?
He comes, and it's like, "Glove me."
Milton's a "glove me" kind of a guy. He has no idea what's going on.
He's just where he needs to be and is like... this. That's Milton.
-For the win! -[Lydia] I got you though.
-[squeals] -[JP] Yes! Lydia, we won!
[Lydia exclaiming]
Lydia's a very attractive girl. Very pretty girl. Pretty hair.
-We're gonna go chat. -[Lydia] Okay.
[Izzy] I'm excited for her and Milton.
I can tell she's very much into him.
But, like, obviously, with what went down in the pods...
[sighs]
...I really wanna clear the air on that.
The reason why I want us to talk today
is because I know you're sweet. I know you're amazing.
Like, I'm very happy for you.
You look like you're having a blast.
Thank you.
Look, we're great people. Like, I honestly...
And I do care about you. Like, I did and still do.
Um, I don't want there to be any bad blood.
You know what I mean?
But, like, at the same time, like, having closure sucks too.
So, this is what I did.
-This was my mindset when I went in. -Mmm-hmm.
So, coming into this experiment,
you would never think that you're gonna hurt somebody.
At the time when I cut you off,
I was about Johnie.
Like, that's where my head was at.
-Stacy was barely coming into the picture. -[Lydia] Yeah, she told me about that.
[Izzy] That was a huge surprise.
And I think, with Johnie, it was because I feel like I needed someone
that's gone through the same things that I have,
which we did share a lot of similarities.
She was married. I was engaged.
We went through kind of, like, similar stuff.
At least, I thought, and that's why I gave myself time to play everything out.
-Yeah. -But... So, when it came to you...
Same thing.
Like, I knew you were pure-hearted. Like, I know you meant well.
I can tell you're the most genuine person, and you're sweet.
But then I started meeting Stacy.
I just had stronger connections with somebody else.
It was not like I was going in with a hurrah.
[Lydia] For me, it...
It was not all on you.
-Mmm-hmm. -It was all the situation.
Honestly, I would have not let it go so far if there was not a connection.
There was a connection. It was just...
There were stronger connections elsewhere. That was it.
Like, I would have never dragged you on
and just been like, "Oh, she sounds fun, or she sounds hot" or anything like that.
That was not what I was trying to do.
And I believe you, I do, but I can assure you I'm in love with Milton...
And I know for a fact that I don't hold grudges with you.
I don't like to end in bad terms with no one.
[Izzy] Same.
-And I do appreciate that. -Yeah.
-And I think that you're great guy. -Thank you.
You know, and if it was not meant to be, it was not meant to be. That's it.
[upbeat music playing]
[Lydia chuckles]
Y'all are gonna have some serious neck problems.
-Both of you. -[Lydia] Yeah.
You look like you've been getting some ass. [chuckles]
-[JP] No. -Really?
-Oh, did not see that coming. -I know, right?
Your guy is so nice. I always thought Izzy was nice though.
[Stacy] Yeah.
He is sweet,
and, like, my only concern with him was everyone was like, "He's a player."
"He's gonna play you. He's gonna break your heart."
And he's so sweet. And it's not just to me.
[Taylor] So sweet. So, you think, he's, like, the one?
[Stacy] Mmm-hmm.
-[Taylor] I love that. -[laughing]
He's so not like what I ever thought I would think the one is.
I don't think I ever thought I would find the one.
-I really didn't. -What? You, as perfect as you are?
We all came into this hoping for love, but none of us expected it.
[Taylor] Mmm-hmm.
What was it about JP? Like, the second day we were in the pods.
You came out and you were like, "I found my husband. I know he's the one."
-Like, what was it? You were so sure. -Like, so genuine.
Outgoing.
Um...
I don't know. I just, like, liked his...
big demeanor, I guess, without even seeing him, you know?
-[Stacy] Uh-huh. -Like, I also felt comfortable.
Like, it felt safe, and now I don't... Not that I don't feel safe.
I just don't feel comfortable.
I feel like it was, like, different in the pods, but...
[Stacy] I wonder why would it be different in the pods as opposed to here.
[Taylor] Hmm?
[Stacy] As far as communication,
I wonder why it would be different here as opposed to the pods.
[Taylor] Not seeing me.
You think he's feeling you more than you're feeling him?
[Taylor] Mmm-hmm.
Maybe I'm the one that made the mistake of saying yes.
But in the moment, I was, like, so sure.
But he is who he is.
I'm just at the point where I'm like,
I don't think it really has anything to do with, like...
if he talks or not.
A lot of this is, like, my fault too.
[Stacy] If you want this to work, which I don't know if you do, step up.
For sure. For sure.
There are reasons I fell in love with him.
There are.

I don't know what anybody could say or do to change that,

We can put our feet in the water. Let's see if it's cold.
So, I'm hopeful that JP and I, you know, go through this experiment,
and at the end of it, we're married, happy,
and we got this, like, badass life...

Think it's gonna be cold?
[JP] It's probably gonna be a little cold, but not too cold.
[Taylor] But at the same time, he's quiet.
He's shy, and, like, that's fine.
I've dated quiet people before,
but I've never made a lifelong commitment...
[chuckles] ...to somebody before that's quiet.
Um, and like, sure, I'm talkative, but I can't talk for the rest of my life.
