["Taking Back Control"

by Simon Diamond & Margot Maxine playing]

The world wants nothing to do with me ♪

Ask me, I'm dying ♪

Barely surviving… ♪

-[Dom] Have to go. I'm being called.

-[Savannah] No.

[Savannah sighs]

[Savannah] Typical.

-[Shayne] What's up?

-Hey.

[Anne-Sophie] Savannah.

-[Savannah] I was like, "b*tch, bye."

-[Ines] What's with Francesca?

Francesca tried to come at me sideways

'cause I had a conversation with Dom.

[Shayne] Oh boy.

Shayne, I had one conversation

with the man.

-One.

-[Shayne] Everyone's going crazy now.

[Savannah] She tried to tell me

my dignity was on the floor.

I was like, "b*tch, please."

My dignity is so far up your a*s.

Pretty obvious she feels threatened by me,

and I'm very flattered.

I feel good that I'm a threat.

I'm here to find my perfect match,

and if that threatens you, then do better.

Give it up, give it up ♪

Taking back control ♪

I don't wanna let go ♪

You've gotta finally give it up ♪

Don't talk to her.

-[Dom] Hmm?

-Don't talk to her.

-Sorry?

-[Francesca] Don't be sorry. It's fine.

Anyone else but Savannah, please.

-Please don't go talk to her.

-No, I know. I'm just here.

-It's gonna look really bad…

-I'm just here.

-Okay.

-Do you trust me?

-I trust you.

-You know I'm not gonna do anything.

I thought you handled yourself well,

at least right here.

[Francesca] The fact that

two girls are going home,

there's definitely some girls here

that are sweating.

I don't think it's necessarily okay,

what Savannah's doing.

She had all week to connect with Nick,

and now she's trying to steal my man.

Sketchy.

-Thought you were having a drink with her.

-I was making my own 'cause I have Oreos.

-[Kariselle laughs]

-I have cookies. [laughs]

-[Francesca] Okay.

-I'm so impressed. [laughs]

Let's talk about you.

-I don't even know where Joey is.

-I think he's talking to Georgia.

-She's your friend.

-You can trust her.

-I don't think Joey's Georgia's type.

-You don't have to worry about that.

[Kariselle] But Joey probably thinks

he's k*lling it right now.

I know the gossip in the house.

I'm here for a reason.

You're the snitch.

-The Golden Snitch.

-I'm the snitch.

-People are crazy about you.

-Okay, I'm hoping that you're right.

I hope you're not coming in

in a bathing suit

and leaving in a bathing suit.

That would be very sad in a bathing suit.

No. We need to make this happen.

Tell me, out of all the guys,

who are you vibing with?

So… Nick, Chase, Shayne.

Okay.

If I could add one more…

Dom.

But I wouldn't add that one

'cause I love Francesca.

-I wouldn't do her like that.

-Okay.

Here's what I can tell you.

Out of all the people you just said?

Shayne. I love him. Ispan style="style2" love him.

I think you should give him a chance.

-Shayne?

-I do.

The only thing I'm thinking is, like,

I really clicked with Chase on my date.

[Joey] Chase is saying

that you could be his perfect match,

but I think that could change.

I think Shayne's a guy

who leads with his heart first.

If you were my friend,

that's the guy I would tell you to go for.

Always. He's a very good guy.

I know what you're saying,

but I'm also, like…

I don't have anything bad

to say about Chase.

[Anne-Sophie] Chase, Chase, Chase,

did you have a good date?

Yeah, I think the date went good.

I'm gonna be honest with you.

I was a little taken aback

when we were in the boardroom.

I was like, "Okay, hold on."

My thought was that,

"All right, we won a challenge."

-We had a nice date…

-A thousand percent.

…and I would have really imagined

that we would have built upon that.

So… but yeah.

[Anne-Sophie]

Two women will be going home tonight,

and it's a very tricky situation.

I honestly think you are

one of the most beautiful f*cking souls

I've met in my life.

Thank you.

Like, you are--

Honestly, you welcomed me with open arms,

and you took me in

despite everything you've heard about me.

-There is--

-And that was a lot.

-There is… so much.

-I'm just kidding.

Like, you are just, like,

such a f*cking good person.

Thank you. I've been told.

Do you think I'm your perfect match?

You know, I've been

enjoying our journey together.

I mean, I locked it in with you.

It's a big decision to make,

and I just feel like right now,

I'm in such a tough spot.

[ominous music playing]

I don't think that's entirely true.

[Chase] Tonight is matching night.

We have rooms,

and I need to invite a girl to my room.

I brought Georgia in here.

I took a big risk.

She's a smokeshow.

That girl, my type, my type, my type.

[Ann-Sophie]

I'm not in the business of chasing anyone.

I didn't get a fair chance

to find my perfect match

because I felt like

I got dropped in the middle of the mix.

Yeah. Understandable.

But if you feel like your connection

is stronger with whoever else,

I'm gonna be upset.

[Chase] Probably not

my proudest moment, but…

[tense music playing]

The night is quickly getting on,

and I'm sure you have

lots of conversations to be had.

So I don't wanna hold you up, Chase.

-[scoffs] Lady Best Kisser.

-[chuckles]

Yeah, so really sorry, Anne-Sophie.

I know you're not happy about it,

but I need you to understand

that this is

for the betterment of the group,

but, really, it's probably

just for the betterment of me.

I think I'm going to hell, boys.

[seductive music playing]

[Nick] What I'm dealing with right now

is that me and Ines

had an initial little spark on day one.

Like, hour one of day one.

She ended up with Shayne.

They've been together ever since.

Tonight, she has told me that…

-She apparently likes you properly.

-[Nick] Yeah.

And then we have you added to the mix.

[Izzy] Are you feeling more Ines, yeah?

[Nick] Full disclosure,

there's something there.

Like, we have a connection.

Like… [sighs]

Like, I'm being totally honest.

-But we also have a good connection.

-Mm.

So now I'm thinking more strategically.

Ines and I could match,

and if you match with someone else,

you're still in the house.

You mean with Shayne?

[Nick] Yeah.

[Izzy] I obviously wanna

get to know you now,

but if me and Shayne were together,

at least we're both here.

[Nick sighs]

Shall we go speak to them

and explain the situation?

-We're gonna go straight up.

-Oh my God, you're probably right.

[Izzy] I'm so right.

I'm definitely not happy

with Nick's decision.

When we went on the date,

he acted like he had no other connections

and made out he was gonna match with me.

It's not the best situation,

but it's the guys' choice tonight,

and I don't wanna leave the house.

Shayne, we get on so well, and it's fun.

I definitely wouldn't mind

if Shayne picked me tonight.

I do love a bit of a love triangle.

I'm not gonna lie.

[Shayne] What's going on?

[Izzy] From what me and Nick were saying,

we appreciate each other.

You guys have a thing.

-[Shayne] That's clear.

-[Izzy] Which is fine.

He wants to explore that with you,

and I'm the same with you.

Did I explain that very well?

[Shayne] Yeah, very well, yes.

Ines and I have had way more time

to get to know each other.

Izzy and I had a great date.

She's awesome.

I wanna get to know her. So I'd hate

to see either of them leave the house.

I'm okay with that.

[playful music]

It's so f*cked up, actually. [laughs]

That's the oddest double date

I've ever experienced.

I'm excited to match with someone

who I've been interested in

since the beginning,

but he tells me

he want to get to know Izzy.

I don't know exactly what I'm feeling.

I cannot say for sure.

But one thing I know is, it is probably

the least romantic matching ever.

It's like…

Yeah, it was like…

a conference.

It was weird.

[Ines] I know you have

to talk to Savannah.

Yeah.

-Oh my God, I hate this.

-Nicholas.

Honestly,

I think Savannah would understand.

[Nick] f*ck.

Oh my God, I f*cking hate this.

[bittersweet music playing]

Hey.

[Nick] Hi. Could we sit down?

Mm-hmm.

[Nick sighs]

[Savannah] How are you doing?

I just feel a lot of things.

Like what?

I'm gonna match with Ines.

Come on, you know she's gonna

leave you next week for someone else.

[Nick] There's so much going on.

What am I supposed to do, though, like…?

Everyone knows we're friends.

No one knows what we did last night.

And now you let me go out like this?

Mostly, I just wanna be with you.

[bittersweet music continuing]

I just, like…

I feel bad.

-For me?

-Yes.

Yeah. You should.

You don't care ♪

[Savannah] Just go.

Just go.

It feels like ♪

Like I just have closed the door ♪

Want me to be your match?

I was between two or three other people

but, yeah, I like you a little bit.

A little bit?

Like, that f*cking much.

You give me anxiety, but I like you too.

-Jesus.

-[giggles]

-[Anne-Sophie] Bye, guys.

-[Kariselle] Bye!

Don't forget to put

your "Do Not Disturb" sign on.

No one's taking him. I'll fight them.

[Joey] I might have

to think twice about it.

I work too hard for this man.

Christ.

[Joey] I think Kariselle and I

are in a great place.

I am crazy about this girl,

but I'm trying to remind myself,

"Please, Joey, take it slow."

"All you do is think with your d*ck,

and your d*ck always gets you in trouble."

So I had to make the executive decision

to keep little Bruce in his pants.

It's not that time yet.

[Joey] I'm 100% taking a bath tonight,

and no one is stopping me.

[Kariselle laughs]

-Are we good?

-[Izzy] Yeah.

[Shayne] Shall we?

So, Izzy and Shayne are a thing now?

I guess.

[Georgia] It's a very weird vibe.

[groans]

-You're assuming.

-You don't wanna do that?

They always say,

"Don't touch the hot stove."

[laughs]

But I feel like

I always touch the hot stove anyway.

[both laughing]

[Georgia] Me too.

Should we touch the hot stove?

Georgia, she has so many

amazing qualities about her.

[Anne-Sophie] Bye, guys.

Enjoy your matches.

[Chase] I'm in here playing chess now,

but I'm gonna put all of that on pause

and explore with Georgia.

I feel like Georgia

could be my perfect match.

[giggles]

["Hooked" by Bianca Jade playing]

I've never seen a sky so blue… ♪

-Welcome to your home.

-Oh my God.

Could be a mistake ♪

Yeah.

Let's go.

My lord.

[Nick] Let's do it.

[Ines] Monsieur.

[Nick] Such a long day.

[Ines] It was a very, very long day.

[Anne-Sophie] Nice.

All right.

Nick put his "Do Not Disturb" sign on.

You got me hooked… ♪

Okay, let's go to bed.

…the way I breathe to you

You taking me in control ♪

The way I think

The way I feel for you ♪

[Francesca] Oh my God,

Savannah is going home.

[Francesca] Savannah's going home!

The snake in the house is going home.

Thank f*cking God.

All is right in the world.

[sighs] I feel amazing.

-You had my back. I appreciate that.

-[Dom] I'm always gonna have your back.

-[Savannah] Should we go take a shot?

-What better way to end the night?

Yeah.

[Anne-Sophie] I did not know

that there was so much strategy involved

in finding a perfect romantic match.

Yeah, sure. Oh, smart girl.

If I could take it all back,

I would probably keep my match with Zay

and explore that further

before dumping him for Chase

because that was not a good move.

[giggling]

["Tell Me Goodbye" playing]

[Savannah] I think I was starting

to have genuine feelings for Nick.

[Savannah] I need to get my sh*t

and get the f*ck out of here.

Coming into this, I didn't think time was

gonna be of the essence the way it was.

And I absolutely believe

Francesca was threatened by me.

I mean, she doesn't go after girls

she's not threatened by, so I'm flattered.

Thanks, Francesca.

How do I break this to you?

I gotta let you know ♪

[Ines] Do you wake up early usually?

[chuckling] No.

What's your sleeping pattern?

Are you a snorer?

Going to bed next to Ines,

I thought we were gonna have a great night

of kissing and talking and just laughter.

I'm just, like… it just hits me.

Now Shayne's gonna get

more time with Izzy.

I think I made the wrong choice.

You shall discover--

I think I'm going to just

fall right asleep tonight.

Now I find myself

In a whole lot of trouble ♪

I will walk away

If you tell me goodbye ♪

[grunts]

-Can I have a pillow?

-[laughs]

-This is all I get?

-Oh my God.

[upbeat music playing]

[Nick] Ines?

Last night we had the conversation

with me, you, Shayne, and Izzy.

I just feel like the vibes last night

were kind of, like, different.

Once we actually matched,

it didn't quite feel

how I thought it would.

We definitely make amazing friends.

I know that for sure.

[Ines] You're feeling it more with Izzy?

I just… Yeah, I know I'm gonna be

talking with her a lot

and flirting with her a lot.

I just wanna let you know

where my head's at.

It's not easy.

I was put in a situation yesterday

that I believe I did not deserve.

[tense music playing]

First thing he tells me,

"I'm not really feeling this."

Without even trying.

I wanted to let you know.

[Ines] Okay, this compatibility challenge

is gonna be interesting, then.

[Nick] Yeah.

[Ines] He k*lled the egg

before it became a chicken.

So, Nick, shortest match, well, ever.

Really, like, ever.

[sighs]

I'm so mad!

Last night I matched with Nick,

then he comes to me and was like,

"You know, I… just wanna be

straight up with you

and tell you that since we matched,

I didn't really feel the thing."

I was like,

"We matched last night at 4:00 a.m."

We woke up this morning

and the first thing you're telling me

is, "I don't feel the thing"?

We didn't even have one moment, you know?

-f*ck.

-Oh my God.

He's like, "When we have a conversation,

I just feel, like, a bit serious."

I'm like, "What do you think I'm gonna do,

a belly dance to get your attention?"

[Kariselle laughs]

-I'm not dull, you know. I still like…

-[Kariselle] You're funny!

-You're not dull at all.

-Thank you!

It's their ego.

Shayne and Nick are just

trying to switch each other's girls.

Difficult morning!

You've been getting

put through the ringer so far.

Yeah. Like, my place in the house

being jeopardized by the whole situation.

-Like, f*ck you, you know, like…

-Yeah.

[Francesca] You need that date

more than anyone.

Nick is a piece of sh*t.

He's basically kicking her to the curb

and wants to go for someone else.

Which is f*cked up, in my opinion.

I'm like, "Come on, guys.

You're making me feel like f*cking sh*t."

-He wants what he can't have.

-He wants what he can't have.

Shayne and Nick are so far up

each other's butt, they should just date.

[using baby talk]

Come on, sit by span style="style2"papi, daddy Shayne.

Who's your daddy? Who's your daddy?

[Dom] All right, so what's up?

I told Ines I see her as a good friend,

but it's too serious with her.

And I need something that's more fun

and flirty and goofy,

and that's not Ines' vibe.

Ines didn't give

an instant kind of, like, spark intrigue.

Whereas Izzy was a spark

and it was f*cking fun right away.

[Nick] Izzy and Georgia are both great.

Those are the two you're going for?

I don't know much about Georgia yet,

but, yeah, so far, she seems nice.

So, what did Izzy say to you?

She told me, like,

"I thought we had a great date,

and I thought you were

gonna ask me to match,

and I would have said yes."

I don't wanna jump in and not be honest.

So I told her how I felt about

Ines yesterday, and it is what it is.

So, you're basically saying

I was her second option right now?

-No, I'm not saying that.

-It's kind of what you're saying.

She tells me

she gets along with you super well.

[Shayne grunts]

I was not trying to frame it

as you were a second option.

One night with Ines, Nick's over Ines.

So again we're in a love triangle.

Nick doesn't know what he wants.

I feel like Nick is trying to chase

every girl I'm into right now. 100%.

I'm curious what his next move's gonna be.

Would you have changed your mind

regardless of the situation?

Do you regret the Savannah situation?

No, the choice I made

was based on the information I had.

There's no information.

Stop overthinking everything.

Look at this guy. No thinking at all

and I got your girl in my bedroom.

[Dom] Mmm.

What are you feeling about everything?

Like, are you happy with Chase?

[Georgia] Yeah, feels so chill.

[Georgia] Do you like Nick?

I feel like Nick is more you.

I would've gone for him.

I would've last night.

[Georgia] That's what I said.

I'm not saying, Shayne,

don't go there, but I just think,

give them both a chance. It's early days.

-They're both interested in you.

-[Izzy] Both very different.

They're, like,

fighting against each other.

[Izzy] Boys will be boys,

and they're arguing over me.

I'm loving watching it, to be honest.

Keeping my options open.

Can't put my eggs all in one basket now.

[upbeat music playing]

-[Francesca] Oh my God. What is this?

-What is this?

[Joey] Get that dub.

-[Shayne] Your first challenge.

-[Izzy] Ready to win.

[Dom] Today's challenge,

it means the world.

The winning couple

gets to go on a romantic date.

Let's go in the middle

since we're the best.

I'm Rom-Com Dom.

I want one-on-one time with Francesca.

[upbeat music continuing]

I wanna have aphrodisiacs

and treat her to a nice dinner.

I need that

if I wanna take this to the next level.

Hey, hey, hey!

-[all] Hey!

-[Joey] Good morning!

What up, Nick Lachey?

How is everybody?

[all] Good.

Chase, you and Georgia

had your blind date yesterday,

and it went well enough

that I see you together this morning.

Yeah, it's fun. We're vibing.

So obviously last night we said goodbye

to Anne-Sophie and Savannah.

How do we feel about that?

[laughs]

[Lachey] Thumbs up.

Awful.

[Lachey] Francesca out of the gate.

-[Lachey] All right.

-The shady person's gone. That's it.

Savannah was the shady person? Okay.

I'm happy about it. She made

a move on him, so I'm like, "Hmm."

That's the real reason.

-Yeah.

-[Lachey] Get her out.

Get out of here.

[laughter]

You guys've been strong

from the beginning.

Well, hey, today's compatibility challenge

is all about

how well you know your current partner

and span style="style1"how well you work together.

I'm gonna present you

with a series of tasks one at a time.

The men or the women will bid

on how well they think their couple can do

in completing the task.

Once all the bids are revealed,

you'll have an opportunity

to raise your bid.

The highest-bidding couple

will have to complete the task.

If you complete that task,

the couple with the lowest bid

will be eliminated.

If the highest bidding couple

does not complete the task,

then they are eliminated.

Last couple standing

will be today's most compatible couple.

I have to pee. Nervous.

I'm hoping me and Joey

can k*ll this challenge.

I'm feeling more compatible

with him than ever.

I'm thinking

maybe I got this one in the bag.

All right. Ladies, how many push-ups

do you think your partner can do

with you on his back?

-Oh God.

-You're the strongest one here.

Place your bids now.

I'm more than confident that Shayne

can do push-ups with me on his back.

I mean, have you seen him?

Our manliness is about to get

called into question real quick.

Ladies, show your bids.

-She wrote 22.

-Twenty--?

-[Lachey] Okay. All right.

-[Joey exhales]

Lay it on me.

[Lachey] Chase is offended by this.

[laughing]

Eleven push-ups?

[Chase] Eleven?

[in Spanish] One-one?

[in English] No way!

Set the bar really low.

-She doesn't think I'm as strong as I am.

-So I'm gonna start over here.

-Joey's a strong guy.

-Yeah.

Twenty-two!

You're pretty confident.

I know Joey could do at least 50

without me on his back.

I figure I'm 115 pounds,

go halfway but take a little off.

-So…

-Wow.

Very scientific computing you just did.

[Joey] And there are some people here

who are brick sh*t-houses

and their matches

are small little things, so--

-Am I not a small little thing?

-[Joey] No, no, no. I'm not saying that.

I'm just saying,

I think there are some people

who have an advantage

of being much bigger than their match.

All right. And, Dom,

I mean, another big dude. Fifteen?

These numbers make me nervous.

-We're coming with the confidence.

-Let's go on to the highest bid.

Izzy's 25.

I mean, I back him. Look at him.

-You're feeling good about 25?

-Yeah.

This woman believes in me.

I've been working hard on this physique,

so I'm very pumped she can notice that.

Nick, Ines said 20 with a smiley face.

There's no chance.

[all laughing]

Does anybody want to increase their bid?

-Yeah!

-[Lachey] Twenty-seven! Do I hear 28?

Shall I--? I can just--

-Don't you-- Don't--

-[laughs]

I was gonna go for, like, eight.

But to be fair to him,

I'm also quite heavy.

I've pretty heavy bones.

-Stop.

-"Stop"!

Now who's the low bid?

-Do you want to even--?

-[laughs]

-Like, in any case, we're out now.

-Right there. [laughs]

All right. So, guys, we have

a winning bid of 27 push-ups by Dom

with Francesca on his back.

Ines and Nick, with our lowest bid.

If he pulls it off, you guys are out.

I'm an untamed animal

Getting what's mine… ♪

-Good to go?

-[Francesca] Yeah.

-[Lachey] One. Two. Three.

-[Francesca] You can do it.

Dom's looking really good right now,

to be honest.

-Twelve, 13…

-Fourteen. Let's go, buddy!

Mmm. Mmm. Mmm!

It just makes me horny.

-[Lachey] Twenty-one, 22, 23, 24!

-[Francesca] You can do it!

You can just see

the adrenaline in Dom's eyes.

This boy wants it.

[Lachey] Twenty-six, 27!

[cheering]

All right, hotshot. We get it.

You can do a couple push-ups.

I mean, I could probably

do that in my sleep,

but it's good to watch somebody else

break a sweat for this thing.

Domination, man.

That was sexy.

Know what I'm saying?

That "Dom" stands for "dominance."

[Lachey] Ines and Nick,

with our lowest bid,

you are now eliminated.

It's pretty clear

I could not have done 28.

[laughing]

[Lachey] Take your place

on the losers' bench.

You guys ready

to move on to our next task?

How many countries can you

and your partner label on a map?

Nick Lachey says name

as many countries on the map as you can,

and the first thought through my head is,

"I know nothing."

[Lachey] Ten is a very popular answer.

Geography. Failed that in grade nine.

Doesn't look good.

[Lachey]

We have a high bid of 14 countries.

Joey, you're shaking your head.

You don't know 14?

I'm looking at that map,

and I see a bunch of bullshit.

So, guys, we have a high bid of 14.

We're now gonna open up the auction.

Sixteen.

-[Lachey] Seventeen.

-Don't have a choice, do I?

Do I hear an 18?

Come on, Joey.

Are you out of your mind?

There's a reason

we're in reality television.

'Cause some of us are not

the sharpest tools in the shed.

Sold. Dom and Francesca. 17.

Which means 14 is our low bid.

Joey doesn't even know all his shapes,

and now I've gotta rely on him

for the countries?

I don't think so.

You feeling confident?

No.

[laughing]

[Lachey] Start now.

Seventeen's a lot.

Is this Alaska?

[Francesca] Alaska's part of the States.

Alaska is not a country.

Yeah, but this is the state though.

It's part of it.

[Chase] Alaska's not a country.

It isn't?

I can't look.

[Francesca] Where's the boot?

Oh, wait. Italy's here.

Which one's Russia?

Is this China or Russia?

Is China a country?

-Yes.

-I don't know.

They're doing pretty good.

[Chase] I'm looking at Francesca there,

designing it

like it was fashion week or something.

I'm like,

that come from?"

This is Mexico.

This is Brazil here.

No, Alaska is part of the States.

This is part of the States.

-This is Alaska.

-Yeah, so USA.

[Dom] Oh, you're smart.

Twenty-one, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26.

We have 26 written down.

All right, I think we're good.

-[man] Good job.

-[woman] Good job.

You look exhausted after that.

I'm more tired from this

than from the push-ups.

You have been able to name

your high bid of 17 countries.

Joey and Kariselle are now eliminated.

All right, fellas.

It's now your turn to do the bidding.

How many hot chili peppers

can you and your partner eat?

All right, let's see what you put down.

Oh!

-I could smash all of them.

-[Lachey] All right.

So, Chase, 15, our high bid right now.

She's a bit spicy,

"made of spice." I think we can do it.

Do I hear 16 chili peppers? Dom, 16?

Yeah, 16.

-[Nick] Here we go.

-[Lachey] We've got 20! Do I hear 21?

-I got 28.

-I'll go 29.

Oh my God, 29, are you nuts?

Oh my God.

This sh*t's gonna be f*cking hot.

These men are not thinking

with their f*cking heads at this point.

They're just thinking with their…

We're going 30!

What the f*ck is happening?

Do I have 31?

All right. Thirty's our highest.

Chase and Georgia,

if they successfully eat

all 30 hot peppers,

Dom, you and Francesca

would be eliminated.

All right, let's do this.

Are you guys ready?

No. But yeah.

Come on down.

[cheering]

[Lachey] Yeah!

[Chase] This pepper-eating challenge

is gonna be a walk in the park.

I've drunk so much alcohol,

eaten so much food,

and never thrown up.

There's no way

I can't pound these peppers and be fine.

I hope you lose.

Oh!

["You Gotta Bite the b*llet"

by The Breaker Sisters playing]

[awestruck] Oh my God.

[Joey] Yo, that does not look fun.

-No!

-[laughter]

All right, take your fork

and go after that first pepper.

[cheering and applause]

No.

Holy hell, this thing is hot.

Hotter than you thought?

[gasps]

[laughing]

Easy.

We messed up.

[laughter]

It is fiery up in here.

-[Lachey] Guys, take your second pepper.

-Twenty-nine more!

[cheering and applause]

Oh my God, she's such a trouper.

[Ines] Oh no!

Oh f*ck.

Chase.

-[Lachey] Tapping out?

-Are you done?

I'm the most competitive person

in the world.

Am I really about to throw in the towel?

Okay. Good try, guys. Good try.

I'm looking at this girl. I'm like,

"You really are in excruciating pain,

and you don't show

the slightest sign of quit."

I'm so turned on, genuinely impressed,

and I think I just fell in love.

-I'm really proud.

-[Lachey] Good job.

You did good. You're a f*cking tank.

There's more important things

than winning this competition right now.

So take your places up there on the bench.

Good job, guys.

Georgia, she's probably gonna be

pooping fire for the next four days.

Final two couples

in today's compatibility challenge.

We have Dom and Francesca.

And Shayne and Izzy.

Gentlemen, once again, you will be

bidding on our fourth and final task.

How quickly can you and your partner

untie ten knots

on a rope tied between you?

You'll start with your bid and at the end,

it'll be the team with the lowest bid,

in terms of time,

that will have a shot

to complete the task.

If that team is unsuccessful,

then the other team

will have an opportunity

to then untie all 10 knots

in span style="style2"their bidded time.

Final round. It's me and Shayne

versus Francesca and Dom.

I'm not gonna be okay with second place.

I am so competitive,

and I don't wanna be a loser.

Guys, let's see it.

Four minutes for Shayne.

Three minutes for Dom and Francesca.

So pretty big difference there.

-Feeling confident at three minutes.

-Oh God, Dom.

-Yeah. [chuckles]

-[laughter]

[Lachey] Shayne, do I see

a 2 minute 30 second bid?

Dom?

Izzy, we would have stopped.

Shayne, you and Izzy

have a bid of 1 minute 30 seconds.

All right, last chances.

Don't do it.

So, that's where the bidding ends.

Let's do it. You're up.

[Shayne] I'm a competitive person.

So I wanna win this challenge.

If me and Izzy win,

we can control the boardroom.

Which could change up

the whole dynamic of the house.

I'm feeling pretty good with this.

[Lachey] Okay, you guys' time

starts on my count.

You ready? Go.

[Izzy] Quick, quick, quick.

Oh my God, there's not enough space.

[Lachey] One knot down.

Okay, that's how you do it.

-You got it, Shayne. Let's go.

-[Lachey] Two knots down.

Maybe we'll win if we watch what they do.

[Lachey] Three knots down.

Four. Five…

-[Chase] There you go.

-[Lachey] Six.

-Come on, Shayne.

-You look so buff right now.

[Shayne] Uh…

-[Shayne] Go, go.

-Gotta pick it up, guys.

[Chase] Good. Breathe.

-[Shayne] f*ck.

-[Izzy] Quick, quick.

I was very impressed with her

and how we competed today.

It's a step in the right direction.

-Three, two, one…

-I'm sweating.

[Lachey] That's time. Guys, great effort.

But, unfortunately,

you came up a little bit short.

We had two knots left. I'm so gutted.

But surely Francesca and Dom

aren't gonna complete it.

Guys, so close.

We'll move to Dom and Francesca.

And they will have an opportunity

to complete the same task

in their 1 minute and 40 second bid.

If you're both unsuccessful,

the most aggressive bid,

being Shayne and Izzy,

would be our winning bid,

and you guys would be the winner

of today's compatibility challenge.

Good job, guys. Great effort.

-[Lachey] Guys, come on down.

-Let's go.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Lachey] Three, two, one. Go.

[Francesca] Making them loose.

-Yeah, go.

-All right, one knot down.

-Woo!

-[Francesca] This one's loose.

-Step, go. Step, step.

-I can't step anywhere.

[Dom] I know-- My fault.

[Lachey] Two knots down. Three knots down.

-Four. Five knots down.

-[Kariselle] Oh yeah!

[Lachey] Six knots down.

[Kariselle] Let's go! Let's go!

Oh my God, the final was so intense,

like I was watching the f*cking Olympics.

[Lachey] Two to go.

[Francesca] They're all loose.

[Lachey] Nine knots down. Final knot.

[tense music building]

[cheering]

[Lachey] Dom and Francesca!

Congratulations, guys.

Oh my God.

[Lachey] Successfully completed that task

in under your bidded time

of 1 minute and 40 seconds,

and because of that,

you are now our most compatible couple.

Which means you get to

meet me in the boardroom later,

invite two new singles

to come here and send them on dates

with any two members

of the less compatible couples.

It also means

you get to go on your own date.

So congrats, guys.

Enjoy it. Have a good night.

-Thank you, Nick.

-Bye, guys.

[upbeat music playing]

[Francesca] We're in the jungle.

Look at this.

-Where are we going?

-Ooh.

[Francesca] Oh my goodness.

[Dom] This is nice.

Me and Dom are so compatible.

We've needed this date so bad.

I hope everything goes smoothly,

and I hope it's romantic and perfect,

and we leave this

stronger than we were before.

-We should have a drink.

-[Dom] I agree.

-I always get so nervous with…

-Don't-- Ooh!

It's weird 'cause I feel like

every single challenge we do,

it just brings us

closer and closer together.

-Cheers to us.

-Cheers to us.

I think as we progress and we go forward,

it's like, there really is something here.

-[Dom] There's grapes. You want grapes?

-I'm down for a grape.

-Never fed anyone grapes before.

-Really?

I don't think I have either.

-Let me do you first.

-Okay.

Go.

-That's how you do it?

-That's how you do it.

[Dom] Okay.

I feel like that's a lot sexier in movies.

-I'm okay. I'm good for grapes.

-Oh, okay.

-Do you like strawberries?

-[Francesca] I love strawberries. Yeah.

This is sexy.

[giggles]

That was not sexy.

Can you try the fig for me?

I don't know what a fig is.

Why are you just continuously

putting it closer to my--?

-I'm asking you a question.

-[both laughing]

I want to know what I'm consuming…

-Try it.

-…before you just, like…

Try!

This is trust.

What is it? It kind of tastes sweet.

-You know what's hilarious?

-What?

One time I legitimately--

I'm so bad with foods.

-Okay.

-I thought a papaya was a carrot.

It was chopped up.

I had a plate full of chopped-up papaya,

and I ate it, and I was like,

"Wow, these are really great carrots."

Oh my God.

Yeah. Not the brightest.

No.

-All right, let's go.

-Yeah.

Oh.

["Being Bad" by Sam Shrieve playing]

[Joey] Oh my God.

Nick is having the best

f*cking week of his life.

[Shayne] The whole timing

of the kiss, it was just…

Where are people's mindsets at,

where that's okay?

It's disrespectful.

We aren't going for the same girl.

He's after the girl I'm after.

It's more ego than anything with him.

That's the kind of guy Nick is.

It's just… it's annoying.

-[Francesca] Thank you, sir. Thank you.

-[Dom] After you.

Thankfully, we have a banana on hand.

[Joey] She has to

eat a banana and make out.

Oh, f*ck off, man. I don't f*cking…

[Georgia] Come on,

it's just a f*cking banana. Let's go.

Nobody wants that.

I took this woman on a date. A great date.

And now this is happening.

-It's awkward.

-Now it's awkward.

Okay, let's skip this one.

Yeah, now that's just awkward.

It's just a respect thing.

-[Dom sighs]

-[Joey] He looks pissed.

Yeah, he looks really pissed.

It's just a banana.

-That did not end how it started.

-You think?

You knew that kiss was

way more than what it was, right?

[Nick] Hey, no more dares. It's fine.

It's just a kiss, right?

Right in front of my face for 50 seconds.

What world am I living in

that that's normal?

It's childish. I'm not here for that.

And tonight.

-I was uncomfortable. It was weird.

-Mm.

Um, so I'm not here to play games.

But you never made out to me before

any of this happened we were a thing.

We would joke about it.

Oh my God.

[Damian] Me and Francesca are friends,

and you should trust that.

As she trusts it, as I trust it.

If you are still figuring it out,

then I would never try and even

get in the way of anything like that.

This is not the beginning

of a beautiful relationship.

[groans]

We got Damian…

[scoffs]

f*ck.

The Mole.

-Have you ever doubted me?

Have you?

[Dom] This f*cking guy.

Things just didn't end

on a good note with me and Will.

You can invite two to come here.

And you can pair them up

with any two members

of the less compatible couples.

Or you could choose

to match them with yourself.

Obviously, everyone is here to find love,

but at the end of the day, only one couple

will be voted the Perfect Match.

All right, good luck. Have fun.

-Thank you.

-All right.

-Thanks, Nick.

-Yep.

-We're here. In control, finally.

-We're here, finally.

-In control. Yeah.

-[Dom] Most compatible.

Most compatible.

Okay, I'm just gonna go right for it.

The person that we're

for sure gonna put on a date.

-Our girl. Ines.

-Our baby girl!

Let's throw her…

[Dom] We love Ines.

We want Ines to find the perfect match.

[Francesca] We know that the men

in the house right now

are not a match for her.

[Dom] Heard a lot about this guy.

You do have history with Damian.

Yeah, he was on span style="style2"Love Is Blind.

We have had a friendship…

over the past few years.

-Um…

-Is there something there?

Was there ever anything there?

We have never kissed.

It was just friendship.

All right, fair enough.

He ain't doing 27 push-ups

with you on his back, so…

Let's not match them up.

Let's see this long-haired man.

He was on your show, right?

[Dom] He was on my show span style="style2"The Mole.

Doesn't look like he brushes his hair.

[Dom] You know, the basis of my show

was literally all about lying

and cheating and stealing, so,

things didn't end on a good note.

That's something I don't wanna get into.

-Fine.

-That's a waste of a match.

Yeah, let's throw him out of there.

Let's see how she looks with Bartise.

[Dom] Come on, buddy.

[Francesca] Aw, he looks so happy.

He did not wanna get married?

He said no to his girl at the altar,

but the fact that he went on span style="style2"Love Is Blind

proves that he is ready for marriage.

So props to him.

He seems like a good vibe.

[Francesca] They do look

quite attractive together.

Obviously, Ines, I want her to be happy.

-She's been through a lot…

-Mm-hmm.

…with the men in this house.

And I truly do feel like

this is the best match for Ines.

Shall we lock it in?

[Dom] Ooh!

-It touches the rings!

-Cute.

They get interlocked!

-We did a good deed today.

-We did a good deed.

I wanna put Ines on a date

because she's been through a lot.

She's trying to find her perfect match.

Just like I found my perfect match

with Francesca.

[Joey] What do we think's happening?

I think somebody's going on a date.

Who do you think's going on a date?

-Ines.

-[Izzy] You deserve it.

[Chase] I think Georgia

could be a wild card date.

-[Ines] She could be one.

-[Izzy] Yeah.

I think that Francesca and Dom

are starting to feel threatened

by what me and Georgia can be.

If I was Dom and the roles were switched,

the first thing I would do

is send Georgia on a date

to get me out of the house.

What I told Georgia is like,

"I'm 1,000% committed to Georgia."

If I'm not Georgia's match,

then she's my match.

When you're in there,

your whole game plan,

I think Nick can vouch for this,

goes out the window.

They're trying to tear me

and what I wanna build apart.

I'm gonna address this.

[Dom] Okay, next up.

[Francesca] This is where it gets tricky.

[tense music playing]

Um…

You brought up Damian.

So I kind of wanna bite the b*llet.

And… go out with him?

Go on a date with him, yeah.

has nothing to do with me.

The only thing I care about is you.

I f*cking hope not.

Gotta make sure you're the best.

The anxiety and stress

I feel on a daily basis

for someone who does nothing

is unbelievable.

Hey! What happened?

Where's Francesca?

What's up?

[tense music playing]

Uh, first off, Ines, you got a date.

Go get ready.

[cheering]

So excited.

Because I need fresh blood. Fresh meat.

and know what he wants.

-Thank you.

-I got you.

-Go get ready.

-Where is Francesca?

[Ines] No!

So, you know, I'm here.

Francesca is not.

Um…

There were some familiar faces…

on the board,

and there was Damian on there.

I didn't think it was gonna happen.

She's gotta do what she's gotta do.

-No way.

-Are you okay?

-I'm gonna be all right.

-Do you want a hug?

-I'll be all right, bro.

-Come here. Come here!

-No, don't give me, like… Don't do this.

-Honestly, honestly.

I didn't think this was gonna…

f*ck.

What the f*ck, man?

Why is it raining? Why is--?

I want her to be happy.

I'm not here for anybody else.

[Georgia] You're a genuine great guy.

This isn't about me.

This is about Francesca

and what she wants to do.

criminalize me, whatever,

but for Francesca,

that would have been the move.

She comes back

and she knows that what we have is real.

If not, send me packing.
