03x04 - Meet Your Exes

[bunniefuu]

[emotional music plays]

[Andrew chuckles] Nancy Rodriguez,

would you make me
the happiest man in the world,

spend the...
spend the rest of my life with me?

Would you marry me?

[dramatic music builds]

[Nancy] To say yes...

[music fades out]

It just doesn't feel

right.

And when I think
of what our life could be,

the life that we could have together,

it's a great life.

Like, I... I don't doubt
that we wouldn't live a good life.

A great life.

But just

not...

Not forever.

["Let it Hurt"
by Daniel Saint Black plays]

[quietly] Not forever.

[Nancy] I just wanna thank you for

being so kind.

But in the real world,

I'm looking for something else.

♪ So let it hurt ♪

♪ Let it bleed ♪

♪ Feel it all ♪

♪ Lose everything... ♪

You know, we came out here
to take a chance on love, and

makes me sad that it won't be our story.

I am impressed by a man

who can own his confidence
of what he's accomplished.

But I've been honest
throughout this whole experience,

and men have this persona
they wanna give off.

And so, there is a lot of deception.

Andrew is too cool,
too calm, too collected.

It's not what I envision my husband to be.

♪ Let it hurt ♪

♪ Let it bleed...♪

[producer] What are you thinking about?

Are you rolling?

[producer] Yes.

Oh. Hang on.

Mind if I...?

It's just too much.

Just a little bit.

Um...

[sniffles]

It didn't feel good,
to be completely honest.

I guess I feel... [sighs]

I feel satisfied that I went for it.

It's just...

Yeah, man. It hurts.

Okay.

I guess this is a good moment for that.

Is it okay that I'm doing this?

[producer] If your eyes are hurting you,
by all means.

[sniffles] Um...

I never thought I could care for someone
that would bring me to tears.

♪ Anything is possible... ♪

[Nancy] I would have never run into...
Bartise in the real world.

Thirty-three and up. [laughs]

That was, like, my limit.

But, oh my gosh, he is like my soul mate.

He is the male version of a Nancy,
and I am here for it.

Can we pretend that I'm a famous pop star?

-Yes, we can do that.
-Um, I wanna be Selena.

Okay, Ms. Selena. Hey, hey, hey!
Over here, over here!

-[Nancy] Hi!
-Hey.

What'd you think about
that crazy fan Bartise

that ran up
and gave you a kiss during your show?

Unfortunately, we had to
call security on him.

[laughs]

-Oh my God. Why are we so goofy?
-[Nancy sighs]

-You're goofy as hell, you know that?
-Yes. I know. [laughs]

-[Bartise laughs]
-Some people can't handle it.

-They're like, "Stop."
-Oh, I can handle all of it. Trust me.

When I envision leaving a legacy behind,

my family,
my future children, and grandchildren,

I just... I can't visualize it without him.

I know I'm gonna be a hella good wife,
and he's gonna be such a good husband.

And I hope that he sees that too.

I will confess

that you make me feel like home.

You make my heart feel full.

My grandma Delia,
she always told me growing up,

she was like, "Mijo!
Bartise, you better not marry a girl[/i]

if she doesn't remind you of me."

-[Nancy exclaims]
-[Bartise] I know.

And I'm sitting here talking to you,
I'm, like, damn, my grandma...

Grandma would be so excited
to meet you one day.

I am so feeling you.

Amen!

I've known you for seven days.

And I've told you
more sh*t that I've ever...

I don't know if I've told anybody else
in the world the sh*t I've told you.

-[Nancy] Yeah.
-It's so easy just to say all this stuff.

I don't know how the f*ck
you're doing it. [laughs]

You're doing a good job.

Let's say, two years from now,
you're coming home,

it was a stressful day at work.

I'm gonna give you three options.
Are you going for food,

are you going for a shower,
or are you going for me?

You.

-[Bartise] Okay.
-For sure.

Damn, I f*cking love that.

[Nancy] If I get engaged today,
I hope it's Bartise.

It has to be Bartise.
There's no one else but Bartise.

[laughs]

Did I get that...
Did I get that clear? [laughs]

[Bartise] Hello!

[Nancy laughs]

-Hi.
-[Bartise] Already with the giggles!

[laughs]

Okay, I kind of wanna
paint a picture for you, so, like...

I remember walking out
after meeting you for the first time

and the way I felt, and the guys,

'cause they went, "My goodness.
Like, you met somebody?"

Damn right I met somebody.

[both chuckle]

I walked out of there
with such a smile on my face.

I feel crazy highs with you.

But I never thought
it would have been possible for me

to feel this way about anybody

'cause I've never felt this way
about anybody.

And that... that feeling in my gut
and my mind kept growing

into something stronger.

And I felt it in you too.

And I'm so excited
to take this next step together.

To kind of both... jump into the ocean

holding hands, saying,
"Okay, we're taking this risk."

I'm dropping down on one knee.

[upbeat romantic music plays]

I'm looking into this wall in this pod.

I'm telling you
that I have fallen in love with you.

I do love you, Nancy.

And I wanna ask you

to be with me the rest of my life.

Nancy Rodriguez, will you marry me?

[music fades out]

-Yes!
-[Bartise squeals and yells]

["Love is a Risk" plays]

-Okay.
-[Bartise] Let's go!

That's the easy answer! Yeah! Hell yes!

[both laughing]

-[Bartise] Let's go. Oh my God!
-Whoo!

Oh my God. I... love you so much.

[inhales] I love you too.

-Oh God.
-Oh my God, I'm so happy.

show the world how amazing that we can be.

[Raven] Being here,
involved in the experiment, it's like a

24-hour, like, love boot camp, you know?

Make an assumption about me.

Your house and your car
are pretty clean and organized.

[SK chuckles]

-That is pretty true, actually.
-[Raven] That is pretty true.

I like that.

Do I seem like
a morning person or a night owl?

-Night owl.
-[SK chuckles]

[SK] Oh my God. [chuckles]

Is that wrong?

It is correct.

[Raven] Oh!

[SK] Wow. Next question.

Do you think I fall in love easily?

Why or why not?

No, I don't think you do.

[SK murmurs]

You seem pretty picky.

[SK chuckles]

-That is pretty correct.
-[Raven laughs]

-[romantic pop music swells]
-♪ Oh, oh, oh ♪[/i]

♪ This is our time... ♪

[Raven] This experiment
has forced me to open up

about just everything in my life

and everything in myself,
uh, that I never would've thought.

Most of the time, I have guys, like,
"Just don't work so much."

Like, "I'd rather just, like..."

"I just wanna take care of you.
Like, I don't want you to work."

-And it's not even about that.
-[SK] Mm-hmm. Right.

[Raven] I don't give a f*ck
if you take care of me or not.

Like, I want to be
a fulfilled person myself.

Exactly. That's not me.
I'm completely the opposite.

-Yeah.
-I feel like when you do what drives you

and what makes you feel fulfilled,

I feel like that will reflect
and project onto our relationship.

Right? I am literally
your number one cheerleader.

Whatever you need, like, you know.

-This is such a breath of fresh air.
-[Raven] Oh, good. I'm glad.

[both chuckle]

[Raven] Last night,
one of the girls started crying.

We're all standing there in a circle.

But then I start crying.

-Aww! [chuckles]
-[Raven laughs]

Everyone's like, "Oh my God,
Raven, are you okay?"

And I'm like, "Yeah."

And, like, everyone just,
like, busted out laughing.

That's... That's just like
the most beautiful thing ever.

You cried for, like, somebody else's sake.

That just shows, like,
selflessness and character,

and it made me really,
really like you a lot more.

Thank you.

I didn't even think about that for myself,

but thank you.

[romantic string music plays]

[SK] All through my life,

I've always tried
to play safe and be reasonable

and have all the answers.

[chuckles]

But, um, joke's on me, really. [chuckles]

Finding love this way
has really allowed me

to start from, you know,
ten million miles deeper.

And I feel like I'm connecting
to a soul or, like, a mind.

And, you know, I feel like I just
unlocked the treasure. I really do.

[music swells, fades]

[sighs]

[Raven] Oh my God.

In the pods, you don't have
to worry about how you look.

[Raven groans]

What you're wearing, how you're sitting.

You gotta be cute.
Like, there's nothing like that.

We haven't talked about height,
about, you know, hair, anything.

God!

And I have a different look.

And it could really be not the picture
that he put together in his mind.

[groans]

I'm gonna throw up. [sighs]

But I've never been so sure about a man.

I have never felt this way
about anyone in my life,

ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, and ever.

[emotional piano music plays]

[Colleen] I can't explain, like,
when you get a feeling.

I'm a very big believer in feelings.

And I feel like I've known Matt for years,

and it hasn't even been two weeks.

I just can't stop thinking about him.

I can't stop smiling thinking about him.

I know how I feel about him.

And so, it's just...
It's a scary, scary feeling

because I've never felt that way before.

I am scared with the past,

at least two now,
guys who have rejected me.

I am scared that he's gonna reject me.

If he rejects me, it would hit me hard.
I would be very sad.

[music fades out]

I've never been good
with expressing how I feel.

-I've never been there.
-Me neither. Yeah.

[Colleen] I've never...

had, like, somebody
who has these feelings for me.

I've never had
these feelings for somebody.

[Matt] Yeah.

[Colleen] And so, like, I'm freaking
the f*ck out over here. Like...

-[Matt laughs]
-Oh, I like your laugh. Like, I'm...

[Matt laughs]

You know, you really, uh,
allow me to... to open up again.

-And I didn't think it was possible.
-[Colleen] Yeah.

I'm so confident in us.

-[Matt] Yeah.
-I'm so comfortable with you.

Right.

I'm... I'm ready.
I'm ready for that next step, Matt.

-Because, like, I love you, and...
-Oh, wow.

[inhales, exhales sharply]

[tense music plays]

[shudders]

[sniffles]

[exhales]

Listen, I don't necessarily know
what the future holds.

[Matt] This is such a crazy deal.

[sniffles]

Oh my God.

How does this sound
that I'm getting down on one knee?

-[emotional piano music plays]
-[inhales sharply]

-Oh!
-[Matt] Oh wow.

I love you.

Will you marry me?

[inhales] Yes, I'll marry you!

-Oh my gosh.

[Matt] Oh wow.

Wow.

[music fades out]

[emotional piano music plays]

[Nancy] I came here
with the goal that I would find...

[chuckles] ...the man of my dreams.
My husband.

And not because
they knew what I look like,

but to really know me for me.

And I am so happy that I found Bartise

and that he came for me. [laughs]
'Cause he could've picked anybody else.

It's such a beautiful feeling
that I never want it to go away.

[laughs]

[Bartise] Me and Nancy have been
very serious about this experiment

as far as not trying
to share physical attributes.

Regardless of what she may look like
or what I may look like,

I am actually
attracted to Nancy right now.

I have never seen her before.

[snapping fingers]

[whispers] You got this.

Like, the way I envisioned Bartise and I

is that he'll always keep me young,

which is so funny 'cause he's 25. [laughs]

But it doesn't matter.

My throat is solid hoarse

after our dates

because we laugh, we talk.

There's so much back and forth.

[squeals]

And there's also moments of vulnerability

that I've never seen in myself before.

[Bartise] Age doesn't matter.

Race doesn't matter.

Physical looks don't matter.
Height doesn't matter. Whatever it is.

I know how I feel.
I know Nancy feels the same way.

She was on my mind all day, every day.
Her damn laugh that she does.

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

She's well-spoken. We have the same humor.

It's like, I'm so excited to meet her
and see what she looks like.

But I know, regardless of that,
it's, like, me going to meet

almost the person that's not there.

I'm going to meet this...
A emotional thought.

And I'm just gonna hug that person,
kiss that person, hold that person, and...

I don't think it matters
what she looks like. Really, honestly.

This is crazy.

[Nancy] I'm so excited
to meet my male twin,

who probably doesn't look like me.
I hope he doesn't. That would be weird.

But what does an energetic

man version of a Nancy look like?

I've never been the type to pick out
the hottest guy in the room and say,

"I'm going for that one."

I don't know if it's 'cause I was not
always the prettiest one in the crowd.

So there's got to be, I guess,
some kind of physical attraction,

but it's not on the top of my list.

I don't know if I'm ready to see him.

I wanna see him, but I'm scared

that I'm gonna pass out, hit my head,

go unconscious.

[music swells]

-[Bartise] Sheesh!
-[laughs, squeals]

-You better run! [laughs]
-[Nancy laughs]

[Bartise] Come here. Oh my God!

-[Nancy sighs, laughs]
-Come here.

[Nancy moans]

[both laugh]

-Oh my God. [laughs]
-I have something for you.

-You do? Okay. [laughs]
-I have something for you.

-[Nancy giggles]
-[emotional guitar music plays]

-[Nancy whispers] f*ck.
-"f*ck"? [laughs]

[both laughing]

[Bartise] Let me see this hand again.

-[Nancy] Oh my God.
-Ooh! It looks good, huh?

-It's so beautiful! Oh my God.
-Come here, come here.

[both laugh]

-[Nancy] I can't.
-Why? Why can't you?

I mean, I can, but...

[both laugh]

-You don't want to?
-No, I do.

[both laugh]

-[Nancy] Oh my God. What the f*ck?
-Damn. Look at you.

-Look at you. Do a little spin.
-Ah! [laughs]

-[Bartise] Come here.
-Oh my God.

[Bartise] I'm very attracted
to Nancy. She...

Well, I don't... [laughs]

[chuckles] I'm not gonna say that.

I'm having a hard time keeping my eyes,
um, above Nancy's neck.

If you know what I'm saying. Yeah.

[giggles]

[Nancy] I don't know how to act.

Um, I've been sweating. [laughs]

-I was sweating bad.
-How are you?

This is the most nervous
I've been right now.

But it's so much better now.
It's so much better now.

-Wasn't butterflies.
-You're f*cking beautiful.

-Thank you. Thank you.
-I love the dress.

-You look so good!
-[laughs]

The pink, the pink.

-I know. It's meant to be.
-You know?

-We knew from day one.
-Damn. Oh man. [sighs]

You like your ring?

I... Oh, sorry. There's that. Yeah.

[both laugh]

-Oh yeah. It looks so good!
-Yeah.

-It's so me. Like, I can't even.
-Mm-hmm.

-Like, who am I?
-[laughs]

-Mine. That's who you are.
-I'm sorry, what?

-[laughs]
-D'you pick this? Like...

-I did pick that.
-[gasps] Oh my God.

I asked you,
"What kind of style do you want?"

I don't know styles.

I was just like,
"This one's like an oval." [chuckles]

-Yeah.
-But you like it?

-Oh my God, it's so beautiful.
-[emotional music plays]

-Oh my gosh. We're here!
-Man. This is so surreal.

-[squeals]
-This is so surreal. Oh my God.

-Give me a kiss.
-Oh my gosh.

I am totally going to be a cougar.
[laughing] And I'm okay with that.

Because age has nothing to do
with how you make me feel.

And when we're old,
yeah, you're gonna be wiping my ass.

And I already told him that,
and he said he wouldn't,

but I'll make him do it anyways.

Honestly, it's just the beginning
of the rest of our lives.

I know he's gonna be my best friend.

-We did it. Come here.
-Yes. We did it! Oh my God.

[both laugh]

I can feel the love in her eyes
when she looks at me.

It makes me feel incredible. I just...

I liked everything emotionally,
and now I like everything physically.

So, it's gonna work. [chuckles]

She's a magical woman, and I'm ready
to spend the rest of my life with her.

[kissing]

This is the happiest day
of my life right now.

[Bartise] I love you.

-[Nancy] Love you too.

[spotlight clicks off]

[emotional music plays]

[Matt] I've spent every second
of every day the last ten days

really digging deep and seeing if
I could become emotionally available

looking for my wife.

And, um, yeah. I... I've I found her.

I have fallen in love with Colleen
and I've never seen her face before.

It's not about looks. It's about
the genuine connection that you build.

And we've built it.

I can honestly say
I'm more genuinely happy now

than I have been in a long time,
and it's... it's... it's...

What a feeling. It's...

It's insane.

[emotional music builds]

[Colleen] This blind-love experiment is

cuckoo kazoo.

I didn't think
I'd be able to connect with somebody.

But Matt 1,000% gets me.

I'm, like, so head over heels
in love with him that I'm just...

I'm ready to see him.

Holy f*ck. [clears throat]

[tense music plays]

[exhales] f*ck.

But with Colleen,
I've waited for this connection.

I've waited for someone
to be able to bring me out of my shell.

So I'm really hoping that...
that this is the real deal.

I think I'm most afraid of maybe
falling for somebody that, I guess,

tells me things in the pods,
but then we go into the real world,

she's a completely different person.

I think that's...
that's probably a fear of mine.

Oh sh*t.

[groans]

[Colleen] I'm nervous. I'm scared.

I'm anxious, not gonna lie.

Oh my God. Oh my God.

For some reason, my nose
has always been a physical insecurity.

Um, just, like, my profile.

So, like, okay,
you know, get the good angles.

But I hope Matt likes what he sees.

It's hard to think right now. It's so much
going on in my right head now.

I'm just ready to see her.

[Raven] Off!
Who falls asleep with the lights on?

[SK] Some people do. You never know.
I don't think we asked that.

-Probably serial K*llers.
-[SK chuckles]

I already told you I don't snore.

Or at least I was told... I've been told.

Um...

-Like, we're engaged now.
-You said...

I know, you said you're a messy sleeper.
Remember? You told me that.

Yeah, but how are you
gonna prepare yourself for that?

[laughs]

-I should wear a helmet?
-Yeah, you might need a helmet.

Okay. Cool. [chuckles]

[laughs]

Spitter... Spitters are quitters.

[Matt] Oh my God. I knew I loved you.

Now come over and give me a kiss

[song fades out]

[emotional instrumental music plays]

I'm gonna put this over here.

I'm quite a sexual person,

so sleeping with Cole
for the first time felt great.

You know, we're engaged.
We're in love. We're adults.

It couldn't possibly be
anything like a one-night stand.

It couldn't be anything
where I was, like, gonna feel used after.

[Cole] Okay.

I'm gonna go take a shower.

Okay.

-I think in the ideal world with a fiancé...
-[shower running]

...that you just got engaged to,

you know, you'd wake up,
you'd have a really sweet morning,

like, just a little, you know,

coffee in bed, breakfast in bed.

Holding one another.

Um...

Again, Cole just kind of rolled over
and got right out of bed,

and then didn't really talk to me
for a couple hours.

Hmm...

As a woman, I think it's just very easy
to get in your head about those things.

Like, "Hey, what changed?"

"What did I do? Is it me?"

"Was it something about last night?"

Yeah, at this point, I just... I don't
even know if he's physically into me.

[Cole] Zanab?

[Zanab] What?

Do you need the steam?

I'm using the iron.

Old school.

[glass squeaking]

It says, "Zay hearts Cole."

[Zanab] Yep, I got it.

[tense music plays]

I think Zanab and I are
very physically compatible.

And I think last night solidified that.

Like, yes, we fell deeper in love
last night than we were the day before.

When we woke up,
I thought everything was fine,

but Zanab thought that, like,
I was, like, disappointed

or that I was, like,
in a mood or something.

Then later, she's like,
"Um, what's wrong?"

She felt like I was giving her
the silent treatment.

Truth is, I was just really tired
and trying to let her sleep,

but she's not giving off this vibe

of, like, "I love you so much."

She seems a little standoffish still.

And maybe, like,
she's overanalyzing everything

and feels like
we're kind of clashing a little bit.

But then she literally told me
that she loves me. So...

We're supposed to be getting married
in, like, four weeks or something, so,

I have to believe what she's saying.
I'm just maybe reading into it too much.

So...

Figure out what I'm going to wear.

[music fades out]

Are you wearing white?

[Zanab] I'm wearing a white top.

I'm trying to look outdoorsy.

Might end up looking
a little Crocodile Dundee though.

[Cole, in British accent]
Crocodile Dundee?

Do you know who that is?

[Cole, in British accent]
No, but it sounds incredible.

That was before your time.

[Cole, in normal voice]
Oh boy, here we go.

-Hey, Zay?
-Mm-hmm?

[gargles]

I think now's a great time to ask you this
while your mouth is full of stuff.

Darn it. I waited too long.

-What did you wanna ask?
-[tap runs, stops]

No, I'll just save it for later.

-I feel like we can talk about it later.
-Okay.

-Talk to me about it later, then.
-[tap runs]

You're being very coy right now.

[Cole] What's "coy"? Mischievous?

[Zanab murmurs]

Like stepping around
whatever it is that you wanna say.

[Cole] Well...

[Zanab] But if you think we need
to talk about it later, we can.

Uh...

[Zanab] You know how I feel
about the silent treatment.

I would love to think
that we are on the same page.

I would really love to think that.

But this morning was just
kind of really different for me.

I think it was just very unexpected.
It was a side of Cole that I haven't seen.

It does make you question
where someone is.

All those things
that you're stripped of in the pods,

body language, facial expressions.

I know that the guy
on the other side of the pod

is the guy that I fell in love with.

Um...

But I do think there's a disconnect there.

And hopefully, you know,

we'll have better mornings
than we had this morning.

[Cole whispers]
You still actually care about me, right?

[Zanab grumbles]

-I do.
-[Cole] Okay.
