01x07 - Seattle

[bunniefuu]

Last week in Boulder,
things got heated.

- I'm hot.
- This is the firefighter

that sparked Kesun's curiosity.

He was, like, lively, which is nice.

Until Ryan put a damper on that
with a surprise visit...

Hi!

And then blew it when he flaked
on their phone date.

Now Ryan's in the red
for dropping the ball

- and Max is the hot ticket.
- Yeah.

Kris finally felt the fire
he was longing for.

Turns out, it wasn't a twin flame.

Like, damn, for the first time

I actually felt a connection
with a guy.

But now, he knows what he wants,
and he's blazing to get it.

Ash warmed to Saphira, but Jess
is still the light of her life.

Her burning question, if you
meet someone in Seattle, who...

Makes this very f*cking difficult,
and then what?

Ross got burned by COVID,
and had to bail...

But things got cooking with this guy.

Now Reagan's
got three on the back burner

and one more city to ignite love.

Fire away, Seattle.

Four single New Yorkers

put their hearts
into the hands of this film crew

who whisked them across the country
on a dating adventure

and they'll end up here.

Hawaii. Oh, my god.

With someone to love.

And if nothing else,
a romantic story to write home about.

This is Swiping America.

A rom-doc in eight parts.

Embarrassing, well,
what's an embarrassing sex story

for a guy who has ED?

I don't know.

Most sex stories. No, I'm joking.

I have gotten just unsolicited
d*ck pics before

and I just respond, "Cool," period.

It's the perfect response. "Cool."

I don't ever say anything
after that, actually.

Just "Cool. Cool."

Guess what?
I'm marrying someone else.

Oh, sh*t.

Hey!

Do you think...
Do you think it's big enough?

- It's amazing.
- I'm getting married, you guys.

I don't know to who yet,
but I'm getting married.

Who's getting married with me?

- I definitely am.
- Perfect.

This is the best day of my life.

It's perfect.

Oh, my gosh, it's perfect!

Look at my breasts.

Yeah.

She said breast to the dress.

Oh, my gosh, it's stunning.

- It's real cute.
- It's perfect.

- Who's next?
- I'll go.

I suppose I can do this.

I never tried on a dress like this
whenever I was engaged.

What types of dresses were you?

More like,
really accentuating the a*s.

- Is it good? Is it good?
- Girl!

- Oh, my god.
- Mama.

Do I look strong?

- Do I look strong and cute?
- You look so good.

- Oh, my god.
- You look so chic.

- You look amazing.
- Oh, my god.

You look so cute.

You're serving looks.

- Let's talk about his back.
- Look at his arm.

- Look at his... Look at his body.
- Oh, damn!

- You like this.
- I wanted everything.

You love it!

Of course, I love it.

I used to dress up
in my sister's clothes.

Oh, my god, Mosie,
we've got a wedding to catch.

I'm getting married.

I'm out of breath.

I wanna go
to everyone's wedding here.

Marriage has never worked out for me,
but I still believe in it.

I've never cared for marriage

but I'm a very efficient person

so I'd do it for tax reasons,
probably.

I mean, whatever your reason is
for getting married...

I think it's beautiful.

Oh, I totally agree. Yeah.

Now that I know
that I could wear a dress like this.

Might need like,
three or four weddings.

I got a match.

He's cute.

Well, this is damn beautiful.

- This is amazing.
- Well, oh, my goodness.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Hello, Seattle.

This is really pretty.

All right, fine, Mosie,
you can go free.

Do it, baby. Do it, baby!

- Oh, what a good...
- Mosie!

You f*cking cute freak.

Oh, my god, you guys,
this is the last city before Hawaii.

All right, guys. You guys wanna hear
some facts about Seattle?

- Yeah.
- Facts, on facts.

"Seattle's nickname
is the Emerald City

because of all the lush forestry.

It's also been known as Rain City
and the coffee capital of the world.

12.9% of the city identifies as LGBT

the second largest
in the US after San Fran.

Seattle was the first
major American city

to elect a female mayor in 1926

just six years after American women
won the right to vote."

Wow, that's cool.

"But then it took them
91 years to do it again."

Unfriends.
They were like, "Never again."

Seattle's our second to last city.

Jess said, like, "If you meet someone

and you have a connection with them

like, do what you want to do
in that moment."

The reality is, like,
we haven't made anything official.

Ultimately,
I want what's best for me.

Even if, like...

that may not be her.

Selfies?

I'm feeling open to Seattle.

This morning, I woke up,
and I was like

"Wow, I haven't actually been
on a first date since Austin."

And I don't know
how many weeks ago that is.

Three weeks?

f*ck! People have been missing out.

I would be posted up here every day

with like, a...
a bottle of rosé and a book.

- f*ck yeah. It'd be perfect.
- Oh, my god. Yeah.

I only have a week left before Hawaii

so I'm really hoping that there's
someone who would wanna join me.

I don't know, yeah, I'm worried

if I don't connect
with anyone in Seattle

I'm not gonna have anyone
to bring to Hawaii.

Oh, my god, I get so awkward.

My sister always tells me
I'm the most awkward person

in the room.

She also tells me
that the grossest person in the room

is always attracted to me.

And by gross,
I mean not gross looking

like gross personality-wise,
like the f*cking weirdest one.

Which I have to say is true.

- Hi.
- Well, hello there.

- I'm Reagan. Nice to meet you.
- Reagan, nice to meet you.

- How are you?
- Good, how are you?

- I'm good.
- Hey there.

- Hey.
- Hey. Nice to meet you.

- Kris.
- Sorry. Hi, Kris.

- Hello.
- Hi.

- I'm Kevin. It's a pleasure.
- Nice to meet you.

Thank you for bringing my champagne.

You're so welcome.

- You look great.
- So do you.

Thanks. What are you drinking?

A non-alcoholic beer.

Cin cin.

Is this your first time in Seattle?

- It is.
- Nice.

How do you like it so far?

- It's really clean.
- Oh, really?

I will say I'm very impressed
with how clean the city is.

- Oh, really?
- It's almost immaculate. Yeah.

You're, like, the first person

- to ever say that. Yeah.
- No way.

The food here's been
delicious so far.

Have you ever seen a gooey duck?

No.

It was like, a delicacy.
It's a giant clam.

It's so good.

It's very phallic.

Just google it sometime
when no one else is around.

Come on. We just met.

I'm... I'm new here,
I moved here literally, in July.

- Well, welcome.
- Yeah. Thanks.

I'm the host of Seattle.

I get...
I get pretty nervous with, like

trying to, like,
pin myself to a place.

I don't know what that is, you know?

What about your man?

To be determined.

I'm half-Indian.

- You're half-Indian? Same.
- Yeah.

Oh, cool.

- What do you do?
- I'm a doctor.

Oh, cool.

So, are you a morning person
or a night owl?

Good question.
Good question. Neither.

Afternoon, I peak. Yeah.

- Nice.
- I'm really good in afternoon.

How about you?

I f*cking love, like, emo music,
f*cking weird clothes, glitter.

- Top or bottom?
- Bottom.

I like that for you.

I'm really into, like,
thriller, poorer.

Oh, god. Sorry.

- I don't love cats.
- Okay, yeah.

- They're so needy. Like...
- What?

Yeah, because... Okay, so...

You can leave a cat alone
for three days, it'll be fine.

I haven't really spent much time
in Germany at all

- but I do have some German friends.
- Okay.

And so I know that stereotype
that they're very...

That Germans are very direct and...

- Right. No sense of humor.
- Yeah.

Do you have a sense of humor?

- No.
- Oh, damn.

Do you have a favorite show?

I've been in the middle
of watching Jersey Shore again.

- I really like that show.
- Oh, god.

- Why?
- I mean...

I... I never got into Friends.

I think I was too young
to be a part of the Friends thing.

Too young? How old are you?

Thirty-four.
Was that... Is that too young?

- I'm 33. And you?
- I'm 35.

Thirty-five. Oh, cougar.

Do you eat French fries?

- Do I eat French fries?
- Yes.

I usually do. I know I'm sorry.

I was like, you do or you don't?

We're done now. I don't, right now.

You don't, right now?

Can I get another drink, please?

More bubbles, good sir.

Can I have another glass
of champagne?

You're probably a little tired
of talking about yourself.

No, I can talk about myself forever.

Oh, really? Okay.

What are your feelings about karaoke?

I love karaoke with all of my heart.

- Yeah?
- And I recently decided

I wanna learn how to nail
"I Don't f*ck With You."

You little stupid a*s b*tch
I ain't f*cking with you

Oh, yeah... Okay. He's a poet.

And then what do you do in New York?

- I work in real estate and...
- Okay.

And in your past,
have you dated Asian guys?

I've actually never dated
an Asian guy before.

Okay.

- Do you want kids?
- Yes.

Yeah. I can tell.

You're asking me
a lot of questions, Kevin.

I'm... I'm curious, curious guy.

- I wanna get to know you.
- What's your deal?

I got married really young.

Did you really?

- To a Mormon guy. I know.
- Oh, my god.

- The plot thickens.
- Yeah. What happened?

- But you didn't have any kids?
- I divorced him.

- Yeah. Of course, you did.
- I do. I have a daughter.

You do? Really?

- Oh, that's beautiful.
- Thanks.

I, like, sweat very easily,
so it's not hard to make me sweat.

Mine is like, my left armpit.

It's gonna be TMI,
but like, it's so weird.

Like, left armpit
and, like, belly button.

Oh... Mine's my back a lot.

- Back sweat. Okay.
- Yeah.

- Nice. It happens.
- A lot.

- See you later.
- Yeah. See ya.

He just came out g*ns blazing.
He's really cool guy.

Really handsome, really fun.

And I just was like,
"I wanna hang out with you."

I can tell that
if you hang out with him

you're gonna have a good time.

And that's, like, one of the most
attractive qualities to me.

What do you, are you...

Do you like to eat?

No, I'm trying to quit.

What's your deal?

Any feeding ritual? Do it.

You... you have really pretty eyes.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- You're pretty rad.
- Why? You love me?

Well, I mean, we just met.

Obviously, I love you. No.

Oh, my god. I love you too.

Don't touch me.

- Okay. See ya.
- Bye.

- Bye.
- Blair's very attractive.

He was really smart.

Definitely felt like
very quick chemistry with him.

It's cool that I told him
about Piper, kind of.

Think he's like,
the second or third guy I've told

in this whole thing.

Thank you for coming.

- Thank you for having me.
- Maybe we can see each other again.

I hope so.

Chris is definitely the closest
to Jason Momoa we've gotten so far.

So, yeah, he's like,
no one I've ever met before

and I totally appreciate that.

- It's nice to meet you. Cheers.
- Bye.

What did he say? Gooey duck?

What the f*ck is this?

Gross.

Okay, this girl looks real happy
about her gooey duck, it's huge.

Can we get two for the Ferris wheel?

- There you guys go.
- Thank you.

Have a good one.

Dude, this is f*cking gorgeous.

So gorgeoust.

Gorgeoust.

Gorgeoust.

It's the best thing you've ever seen.

I mean, hello.

I live.

- It's real cute.
- Real cute.

Welcome to our... our mix tape.

How were your dates? You were
super excited about some of them.

Yeah, totally.

Amanda's hot, not gonna lie.

Okay. Okay.

Did you think Amanda
was hot before you met her?

- Yes.
- Okay. Cool.

I was like, "f*ck."

We have, like, good chemistry,
good connection.

And so, like,
I'm gonna take Amanda out.

This... this is f*cking beautiful.

It's disgusting.
It's, like, real nice.

- Yeah.
- Tell me about your dates.

Well, I still have
a huge crush on Ryan.

Yes! How...
what's going on with my man?

We had a little bit
of a disconnect moment.

And I think that's one of the reasons

why I feel kinda frustrated
about Ryan.

Like, you could put in some efforts.

Like, I feel like that you
are actually wanting to date me.

I don't know,
but I feel that from him.

And so I'm kind of, like,
happy that here in the last day

that we're doing date zeros
and meeting new people.

There actually
is a moment where I could

like, explore something else.

And you have someone
coming right, from Boulder?

Yeah. Max is coming to hang out.
For a second date.

So I think it's cool because
I haven't actually felt the urge

to go on another date
with someone until this point.

I think if nothing else
it's gonna make me

like, really feel very solid in...
in whatever decision I make.

I met such cool guys today.

They're so nice.

I've never painted
my nails black before.

But it feels appropriate in Seattle.
It's very grunge.

Today was good. I met Travis
and Travis is, like, superhot.

He's, like, super handsome.

He's half-Indian and half-white.

Which is pretty uncommon
for people our age in America.

He was a little reserved

but I really liked him
because he was so hot and nice.

The date zero
with Justin was the best.

I just felt like
he was a really cool guy.

He's really fun.
He's really handsome.

He's successful. He's an extrovert.

I'm an introvert
and typically in relationships

I think I actually prefer extroverts

because I... I wanna be around people

who can make me
a little bit more social than I am.

And I just wanted to be around him.

Chris is really cute.
He texted, he said

"Kesun, I wasn't sure if I was
allowed to ask for your number

or I would have,"
with, like, a winky face.

Like...

emoticon, which I think is so cute.

And then he said, "You're so sweet

and you're incredibly attractive
on top of all that.

I kept thinking
I was getting Punk'd."

That's so cute.

Is this like a nightgown or what,
what am I looking at?

No. It's shirt,
it's a shirt and shorts.

Honestly, you have to...
You're so pretty.

You look great. You look so handsome.

- But yeah...
- Thank you. I appreciate it.

You should come over.

Yeah?

So wanna go out again?

Yeah, let's do it.

I said, "Hi, Chris.
It was so lovely to meet you.

You were calm and wonderfully warm.

And your eyes were really pretty."

Man,
I can't wait to see you again.

It's gonna be amazing.

Well, I think I'm gonna go to bed.

Yeah, me too. I'm pretty tired.

Well, have a great evening.

Bye.

So yeah, I chose
both Justin and Travis.

We're about to go to Hawaii,
and I don't have anyone

I'm particularly interested
in bringing.

So...

Yeah, that certainly

is what's motivating my decision
to go on dates with two guys.

I just wish that I had more time.

I would cross my fingers,
but I'd ruin my nail polish.

But... fingers crossed for Seattle.

Hi.

- Hey. What's up? How are you?
- How are you?

- Good.
- Nice to see you.

- Nice to see you too.
- I got lipstick on your shirt.

That's all right.
It's already ruined anyway.

- So I got tickets.
- Cool.

So we're gonna go in there.

- Amazing.
- And...

That was a lift.

Thanks for coming to Seattle.

Yeah. Thanks for the invite.

Is this where I say
I'm scared of heights?

Oh, my goodness.

- Look at this view.
- Are we sitting here?

- Yeah.
- Okay. Here.

- Thank you.
- Yup.

- Max, you really shouldn't have.
- I know. Well, I try to impress.

I really know this city.
Let's be honest about it.

Can't you tell by my sweet
beanie and...

Plaid?

All right. Whoa, now,
I do wear plaid.

You were, I think you were
wearing plaid when we met.

Look at you.

I can't believe you remembered.

I did. What was I wearing?

No, I was so blinded by, you know,
the beauty in your face

that I couldn't pay attention

- to the dress.
- Oh, that's so nice.

I know a couple firefighters
in New York

and they've told me
some really weird stories.

I'm sure you see some
really weird stuff.

Definitely a lot more funny stories
than scary stories.

- That's good.
- So my first fire ever, oven fire.

So we go and put the fire out

and the other two guys on my crew
they're doing, like, the search.

So, like, in fire, it's like,
really dark and stuff.

Like, you do a lot of stuff by feel.

So they feel
what they think was a baby.

So they pull it out.
Turns out to be a gigantic dildo.

- There's no way.
- I swear to God.

So I guess she had, like,
started dinner or whatever

and then she was, like,
FaceTiming with her boyfriend

who was deployed in Afghanistan.
And then...

Let's just assume that he's been gone
for a really long time.

- Hey.
- Hey. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you as well.

- Nice.
- Some back support here.

I know. I'm sinking.

My auxiliary muscles.

My active muscle.

The ones that aren't active,
inactive.

Static.

- Hey, guys. How are you?
- Good. How are you?

- Shot time.
- Here you go.

- Yes. I'll be right back.
- Thank you so much.

- I appreciate it.
- Okay. Thank you, Megan.

- Cheers.
- All right. Cheers.

Little clink.
Anyway, we're gonna do it.

I'm not a shot person in general.
My eyes are watering.

Okay. All right.

Here are the delicious fries.

Amazing.

- Enjoy.
- Thank you.

So, my go-to date question is, like

what's some unpopular
opinion you have?

That is a really deep question.

I'm pretty amiable
about a lot of things, but...

- You seem like. Yeah.
- That's hard for me right now.

'Cause I'm more focused
on you right now

and, like, you know,
like, you may distract me.

- Well, I'm focused on you.
- Oh, that's...

- I hope it's...
- It's good by the way.

Yeah.

What do you think of that one?

Well, someone asked it
of me on a date one time

and my answer is,
I don't like cheese that much.

- You don't...
- I know.

- And so...
- I'm lactose intolerant.

- Oh, really?
- Every, most black people are.

Might be okay.

Oh, how about this?
I don't like cake.

- You don't like cake?
- I don't like cookies.

- Well, I like cookies.
- Sugar cookies.

- Do you like blue cheese?
- That's another...

I hate blue cheese.

So you're a ranch guy.

- No, I don't like ranch.
- So no sauces. You like ketchup?

- Not really.
- What do we like?

I'm very cultured.
This is what it comes down to.

- Tell me more.
- Yeah.

Have you ever been in love?

Yeah. My senior year of college,
but she was living in St. Louis

and then I moved to Arlington,
Virginia to be a firefighter.

And that was, yeah.

You?

- I've been in love twice.
- Okay.

One of them was for five years

and the other one was,
like, two years, yeah.

So are you,
like, a relationship person?

I mean, I don't know that I would say
that I'm a relationship person

but if I like someone, like I...
I'm not really interested

in, like, dating other people.

Yeah?

Do you wanna go up to the rooftop?

Yeah.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, no.

Can I put my leg up?

See now that is a proper picture.

- Max!
- That is a proper picture.

- We can go home now.
- I mean, I feel like

that was pretty damn good.

That was cool.

That was definitely an experience.

- I will say that.
- Thanks so much for coming.

- It was so much fun.
- Yeah. Thanks for inviting me.

- I really appreciate it.
- Yeah. You're so welcome.

That was so much fun.
I'm happy we got to hang out.

I had a great time.
Yeah. That was amazing.

- You're welcome. It was so much fun.
- Okay. Bye.

Okay. Bye.

I don't...
I'm not sure how I'm feeling.

I'm feeling
a lot of things right now.

He's light and funny.

And I don't know, like,
there's nothing that makes me

not wanna hang out with him again

but I'm not sure there's anything
that makes me wanna

like, make out with him.

So everybody from Seattle

no matter if you're married or not,
if you're single.

You have to ask, are you monogamous
or not monogamous?

That's funny, in New York, there's
a lot of non-monogamous people.

Specifically in the q*eer community
but I think even outside.

Personally,
if I was in a relationship

I would really trust each other

and then slowly kind of open up
our world if I cared to.

But I wouldn't, I would wanna be
motivated by them personally.

So I think we're on the same page.

It's like, for me,
it's a foundation, right?

Like, as we grow
and have that foundation

then okay, then we can try stuff,
whatever.

But you have to be comfortable
and communicate with your partner.

I think a lot of people here
in Seattle personally...

One month in, they're like,
"Let's just be open."

I'm like, "We don't even know
each other." You know.

So we're getting married, we're open.

- You ready?
- Let's go.

Let's go. Cartier, baby. Let's go.

- I think my Uber's here.
- Yeah.

It was nice to see you.

- Nice to see you as well.
- Thank you.

For sure.

- Had a great time.
- You're great.

Yeah.

- Sounds good?
- I'll text you.

All right. Sounds good.

Oh, he's so cute.

Just my last...

Do we have...
I wish we had some Aperol.

I would make us some spritzes,
you know.

Girl.

Do you need any more salt and pepper?

- Should I put it on the table?
- Put it on the table.

You wanna know why you're...
I'm cooking for you

- and not cooking for anyone else?
- Why are you cooking for us?

I picked Amanda to go on a date with

and so I originally
was going to grill for Amanda

and like, could we have a good time?

Totally. But I... I'm into Jess

and I don't really wanna
go on another date

just to go on one just because.

And it, like, in many ways
it feels disrespectful.

I just, like, texted her.

I was like, "You know, like,
I really enjoyed our date ultimately

and my heart is just somewhere else

and, like, I don't wanna,
like, waste your time."

- And she was...
- Oh, Ash.

Yeah. You know, I...
I actually never felt like this.

And I think that's why
I'm just so clear.

I choose Jess because
I want to choose Jess

and I want to keep choosing Jess.

So it just...
it's just so simple for me.

How beautiful is it
that you realize that?

Like, this experience
has been so eye-opening for you.

This steak looks damn good.

I'd like to propose a toast.

Damn.

I just wanna tell you guys
that I love you

and I'm so happy that all of you guys
were here during this.

- I wouldn't trade it for the world.
- Same.

We're, like, soul-bonded forever.

- Cin cin, guys.
- Cheers.

- Love you.
- Love you, guys.

This is amazing.

This steak, holy sh*t.

Kesun, how's the thing with Max?

The day was fun. It was easy.

It lasted for hours
and it went by pretty quickly

which I think is a good sign.

He's not someone who takes himself
too super seriously.

Which I also, like,
really appreciate.

- Just like you.
- Yeah.

I couldn't tell if there was, like

if it was, like,
strictly friend vibes

- or if it was more of, like, maybe.
- Okay.

I think it's somewhere in...
in between.

- That's fair.
- Which is fine.

So he's not Hawaii vibes?

- No, I don't think so.
- Okay.

At least you gave it a shot.

Yeah. It was cool to have
a different energy, like, on a date.

This is weird
because I feel like with Ryan

we finally spoke and cleared the air

and I feel better about it.

I'm not closing the door
on him completely.

It's just, it's...
it has been very interesting

to let other people's energy
come towards me.

There might be
a possible connection with Chris.

And so, I'm really looking forward
to our date.

- That's fun.
- That's cute.

Yeah.

Tell us about your date.

Yeah. Last night I met Justin
for our date. I really enjoyed it.

Justin, honestly, was like the guy
I had the most fun with

on this journey.

Didn't laugh more than I did
with Justin.

- Like, yeah.
- Will you take him to Hawaii?

I mean, I'm also
meeting Travis tonight. So...

- There's that.
- I'm just playing the field.

You know?
Travis is, like, so beautiful.

Justin is also really hot.

Justin's a little nugget.

He's so cute.

He... he's like a 5'8" beefy nugget.

He's so cute.

- Look at you...
- Look at him. Look at...

Reagan, how are you?

I've been speaking with Blair
on the phone quite a bit.

He is who I'm going out with
this week

and he's been really fun
to get to know.

He's got a cool kinda like swagger
to him that is sexy to me.

He's very adventurous.

He's like ex-military and...

It's been super fun
having conversations with him.

He was a crazy good storyteller.
It's a big deal to me.

I mean, a conversation to me
is everything.

I... I don't really know
what I'm gonna do about Hawaii.

So we'll see.

I'm f*cking stuffed, man.

Does anybody want
some chocolate a*s cake?

- Hell yeah.
- Me, I don't need it.

I don't know, Should we just eat it
straight off the thing with...

- Girl, yeah. That's kinda hot.
- Yeah.

Nice to see you.

- How's it going?
- It's good. How are you doing?

Good. It's beautiful today.

Where are we going?

So we're gonna go up here
to the whiskey distillery, I think.

Nice.

- You look amazing.
- Thank you.

You look great too.
I like your outfit.

- Thank you.
- We're matching.

Coming over here.

Thank you.

Have a champagne.

Thank you so much.

- Cheers.
- Cheers to you.

So, what's it like dating in Seattle?

It's... it's kinda hit or miss

if you get a chance
to go out on a date

with somebody in bad weather.

Weather plays a factor around here.

That probably makes
it really easy to cancel.

It does. It gives me an out.

- Right.
- Yeah.

So tell me about your sisters.

Oh, my gosh. My favorite sister.

- Favorite sister?
- So we'll start there.

Okay. Yeah. Tell me.

Favorite thing about Paige
is you never have to guess

where you're standing with her.

- I love that. I actually love that.
- She's very... She's very open.

Sometimes she calls me
and leaves messages

and won't even know it's her.

But she'll just say,
"b*tch" and hang up.

- That's amazing.
- That's hilarious.

Oh, she probably loves you so much.

So, like, how important is it to you

that your sisters like your partner?

You know, less friction, like,
when you're trying to date somebody

obviously 'cause good,
'cause they usually are right.

- 'Cause they're outside perspective.
- ...always right.

- I know.
- Yeah.

Sometimes I'll introduce
my sister to someone

and she'll be like,
"That person sucks."

I'm like, "If you just don't see him"

and then you do get defensive
and then something will happen

- and you're like, "You're so right."
- Yeah.

It's the worst. My sister's always
right about that kind of sh*t.

It makes me so mad.

- Hey, hey.
- Hey.

- How's it going? Nice to see you.
- Good. You too.

- Thanks for coming.
- Yeah.

- Here are your shoes.
- Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

When was the last time
you went bowling?

In 2018.

- Okay. That's...
- For, like, a corporate event.

I think the last time I went bowling
was maybe high school.

So I think you got a few years on me.

- Great.
- So...

Should we compete against each other?

Or should...

Well, the other thing
we could do is, like...

Have, like, a score
that we have in mind

and, like, work as a team
to get to that score.

Oh, that's interesting.

That's a nice collaborative way.

Let's do that.

I'm guessing I'm gonna score
maybe a hundred and ten.

I feel like, that's probably close
to what I'll get to.

- So if we double that 220.
- Two-twenty.

Yeah, sure. Let's do it.

All right.

Oh, my god.

- That was pretty good.
- Nice.

- Good job. That was great.
- Thank you.

Oh, god.

Okay. What the hell?

Oh, no, that's not gonna do well.

All right, you just gotta hit
that center pin

like it's no big deal.

Veer to the left.

Veer to the left.

Nice.

Oh, that actually worked.

I took advice. It worked.

Game over. We're not close at all.

All right, should we eat our feelings
away for a few minutes?

- Should we eat our feelings away?
- Yes. Exactly.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Are you close to your family?

Yeah, I'm super close to my family.

Like, family's actually
really important to me.

Yeah, are you close
to your mom or your dad?

Close to both.

My dad passed away, though

- a couple years ago.
- Oh, I'm sorry.

That's okay. It was expected
and that's a big reason

why I moved back
to Seattle when I did.

So I got to spend
some really good time with him

before he passed away actually.

Yeah. Yeah. I wanna go back
to India at some point

and like, you know, that was
a really important part of his life

that I didn't recognize
until I went there.

- Yeah.
- So I think it'd be fun

to, like, go back and explore it.

Do you cook Indian food or anything?

No, so my dad assimilated
very quickly here.

So, like, I know very little
about our Indian heritage

and he, like, men in India
generally don't cook, so...

- Oh, yeah, totally. No, my dad...
- Yeah?

My dad doesn't cook Indian food.

My dad remarried an Indian woman.

So she knew how to cook Indian food.

- Yeah. And she taught me.
- Okay. Nice.

Yeah, none of her children
have asked her to, how to cook.

And so I do think I...
I curried a little flavor with her.

- I mean, it sounds like it. Yeah.
- Yeah.

If you want, I was wondering,
if you wanna come back to the house

and have a drink or something.

Sure. That sounds fun.

- Yeah, that'd be great.
- Yeah.

Should I do a cat eye?

I'm doing a cat eye.

It's always risky to do a cat eye
when you're late

because if you mess up

you have to wash clean,
and start over.

My getting ready rituals.

Make my hair as big as possible.

I have to brush my teeth though.

There's a very glamorous human

- who's entering.
- Hi.

Good to see you.

- Nice to see you.
- You're looking good.

- Thank you. Same.
- Yeah.

- Did you make all of this for me?
- I did.

Well, I made half of it. Yeah.

You look really nice.
I feel dressed down.

- Really?
- Yeah. You look so cool

in those pants.

What? These old things?

What's your favorite thing here?

- I mean... Yeah.
- Besides me?

I mean, that's about it.

- Hi.
- Hey, how's it going?

- Good, I'm Reagan.
- Ronny.

- I'll be helping you guys out today.
- Oh, cool.

So here's a taste
of our objects today.

I think we decided
to do some drinking glasses.

- Yes.
- All right. Dive on in.

All right, so, this is our furnace.

That's running
at about 2,200 degrees.

I feel like I'm looking
into the eye of Sauron.

- A little bit.
- You should just stand up here

- and grab below my hands.
- Okay.

And to apply color, we're gonna
come over and gently press.

Lift and press all the way around
getting a nice even coat.

Slide in just enough for the glass
to get hot about right there.

Cool. I love this.

I feel like my hair is burning.

I put on so much hairspray today.

Teamwork. Here we go.

Blair, he blows.

You wanna hold these like we're
an axe m*rder*r in a horror film.

- Okay.
- And light pressure.

Going back and forth.

Beautiful. It's gonna be
a hell of a wine glass.

There you go.

- Make another glass.
- Yeah, I'm ready.

All right.
Now press it and twist it. Yeah.

Like, do I roll it? Oh sh*t.

That does not look good at all.

I feel like...

Hi there, friend. How are you?

- Great.
- Thank you for helping me twirl.

You gotta press.

Press down?

I feel like it's... it's pretty cool.
Okay.

All right,
we'll get that nice and hot.

Okay.

- Now we're making a glass.
- Yeah.

- You look great tonight.
- Thank you.

How are you feeling?

I feel good.

- I'm kinda drunk.
- Are you?

- Just a little bit.
- Okay.

If I stand up I probably will be.

- Yeah?
- Is my hair, like, crazy?

- No. Your hair is fine.
- Thank you.

I love your freckles.

- Thanks.
- You're welcome.

We can change the subject.

That's so nice, most people
don't notice them actually.

Really? Oh, I love it.
Those are cute.

That's the first thing I noticed
when you sat down.

- Really?
- Yeah. Like right here.

I was like, "Oh, she's so cute."

- That's so nice. Thank you.
- Of course. Yeah.

Your eyes were
the first thing I noticed.

You probably hear that a lot.

- No. Never.
- Never.

- Never, not once? I'm the first?
- Never heard. I swear.

Cool.

Second lie.

- Wait, what was the first?
- I don't remember.

We should keep track.

Somebody write this down.

I'm really happy that you came out.

- Thank you for coming.
- Oh, thanks for having me.

Of course.

Do you wanna walk me into my car?

- I'd love to.
- Okay.

Chris is... he's a man.

He has all of the qualities
that I look for in someone.

Maybe we could, see each other again.

I hope so.

All right.

- Thank you.
- Oh, bye.

- It was lovely to meet you.
- Me too.

- And hang out. Thanks. See ya.
- Yup. Cheers. Bye.

There's something that's very, like,
trustworthy about him, I would say.

I think that he's very...

I find him to be very sweet.

But I'm also thinking
about Ryan a lot.

And I'm feeling really confused.

- Oh, welcome.
- Thanks.

Oh, look at this view.

Oh, it's amazing.

Do you have your own house?

I do. I bought...
I think it's been like two years now.

I'm always impressed by people
who in New York.

How often would you say
you go on dates?

I don't typically like to go on dates
during my work week.

I'm a doctor, you know,
my schedule's so variable.

Unless I know someone
I feel really bad

about saying like,
"Hey, I may or may not be there."

You know, if someone's crashing
and dying, I don't leave work.

Like, it may be seven,
it may be eight o'clock.

Like, I'm going to stay
and take care of that person.

Of course.

So I date on my off weeks

and I don't know, maybe, like,
two, three, four dates a month.

- How about you?
- Like, so like

potentially once a week,
but if that...

It also seems like you've been in

like, pretty consistent relationships

for the most part of your adult life.

Yeah, no, this is the longest
I've been single.

- How long has that been?
- Ten months.

- Ten months. Okay, okay.
- Yeah.

Now I'm like,
"Okay, well I'm getting to an age

where maybe I do want a partner."

Yeah, I think I generally like
being around people

but I'm also, like, very independent.

Same.

Yeah. And I think that's been,
like, really good

but I think it's also been
a barrier sometimes towards

like, relationships
and meeting people.

It's like, I am so independent

that I think people get upset
with that sometimes.

Yeah. That's happened to me
actually a few times

in some of my relationships.

"Well, you know,
I want you to feel like

you can lean on me more, blah, blah."

But I'm almost like,
"Well, I don't know

if you would've
stepped up to the plate."

That's the hard part,
but maybe that's my trust issues.

Oh, is that, is that your red flag?
Did it come out now?

Well, you have the same one, so yeah.

It'd be nice to share
some of those bigger milestones

with someone in the future.

- It's important...
- If you wanna add me

to the deed of your house.

Just sign on the dotted line.

We can share a house. I love it.

I'll take equity.

- Oh, I see what you're at.
- Yeah.

Well, I think
it's getting a little late.

Yeah.

Do you mind if I kiss you good night?

Sure.

- You're very handsome.
- You are too.

And I appreciate your time tonight.

- It was really fun.
- Thank you.

- What do you think?
- I love it.

- Love it?
- That I'm talking about.

It's quite cool.

Made things.

Cool.

- Kind of put 'em back there.
- And there she goes.

They look good.

- That is very hot.
- Nice.

- That was so fun.
- Good.

So what do you wanna do now?

Do you wanna come over, hang out?

Yeah. I do actually.

I am incredibly impressed.

- You are?
- Yeah, because...

Oh, my god.
You're gonna be so amazed by me.

- I mean, you... you squoze that lime
- This is terrible.

like it was a grape.

When I squeeze the lime,
dust comes out.

Let me see your hands. So delicate.

You're like,
why did you go like this?

- I think I need more tequila.
- Really?

- sh*t mine's... mine's...
- To the brim.

- Oh, sh*t.
- What? You said to the brim.

Thank you, Blair.

De nada.

Oh, yeah. Tell me about the military.

I was in the army.

I did four years
end up being four and a half

because of the Iraq w*r.

I was a total fun boy extrovert.

And very, very silly. And I still am.

But it, it gave me space to,
like, read a bunch of books

and become really introspective.

- Yeah.
- So that's what I did.

- I just read books nonstop.
- It's a unique experience.

- You did it when you were like 18?
- Yeah.

- Yeah.
- Did you leave home

- when... when you were 18 or...
- I did.

Were you quite rebellious?

- Meaning... No.
- Did you sneak out?

Yeah, I did that kind of stuff

but I would sneak out
and like listen to music in a car

- and just talk, you know?
- So sweet.

It was very like...
it was wholesome rebellion, you know?

How would you describe me?

I'll tell you
how I would describe you.

- I would describe you
- Oh, I thought I was gonna go.

- Oh, you wanna go first? Please.
- No, I'd rather you go, actually.

You were very present and engaged

and also I would say were very equal

with the amount of time
that you spoke and listened.

It's really nice
to talk to someone like that.

You said really nice,
thoughtful things.

- The superficial stuff is there too.
- I mean, I do...

I would... is it... Okay.

- See, look, I want you
- Yeah. You're, like, tall

- to find me attractive.
- and handsome.

And your voice is raging.

I thought you were very quick-witted
and very pretty.

You say yes to things.

You say yes to any, anything
and you like to meet lots of people.

Just like me. I mean,
the weirder the better for me.

Just a sweetheart.

That's so nice.

Thanks for coming over.

Thanks for making glass with me.

Of course. Yeah. It was fun.

I hope I get to see you in Hawaii.

No pressure at all. None.

- I know.
- But it would be nice.

- All right. Bye.
- Bye.

- Thank you. It was fun.
- Thank you.

- Have a good night.
- You too. Bye.

This is so beautiful.

Yeah, I wouldn't have thought that
this is what you could do in Seattle.

No.

This is our second
to last city before we part ways.

We're gonna miss each other.
It's weird.

Yeah. It's so sad.

I'm like, cherishing
our time together.

It's different because
we know it's coming to an end.

I mean, we're going to Hawaii.

And then we're gonna go home
and be obsessed with each other.

- It's like, whatever.
- I know.

I be like,
"What are you doing tomorrow?"

Yeah. And like bringing this with us.

- I feel like all these experiences.
- Yeah.

And, like, growing, like,
we're gonna get older obviously

and, like, having partners

and meeting
each other's partners and...

Are you talking about Jess?

Yeah, how do you ask someone
to just like come to Hawaii?

And you came in here
with a totally different idea

- of what was gonna happen.
- Sure did.

- We all did. Yeah.
- Yeah.

I just think about how much
we've like, learned from each other

as a person.

You know, like as a friend, just...

I... like, really root for you guys.

- Yeah.
- And I really want you to be loved

the way that you deserve to be loved.

Yeah, I know.

I said

"I really do love
spending time with you.

I'm going to Hawaii next week.

Meet me there
so I can kiss you again."

We'll see what she says.

Hopefully yes.

Oh, it'd suck if she said no.

Mosie is not coming to Hawaii

because they have to quarantine

for, like, six months
or something like that.

Come on.

It's her worst nightmare

is that we are going
somewhere fun without her.

And today, I'm packing
and she's looking at me and I'm like

"You're right.

This time I am going somewhere
really fun without you."

If I can't figure out
who to bring to Hawaii yet...

In Santa Fe,
my day with Don was so fun.

He's down to,
like, express his emotions

and talk about anything,
which are great qualities.

LJ has made a great life for himself.

That's definitely something
that was very impressive to me.

Blair is incredibly adventurous.

He's had really cool
life experiences.

Blair just feels so sudden,
like, I just met him.

But maybe, I don't know.

Ross, I mean, where do I start?

Ross is just so amusing.

If there's someone in the room

that's unlike anyone else in the room

I feel like magnetized to that
and Ross is different in that way.

I don't know, I think...

I mean, I think I could have
a really good time with any of them.

I don't know.

I could just change my mind
every five minutes.

Guys.

I prepared an activity.

What are we doing?

It's called...

I haven't thought of a name.

- All right.
- Wait, so what are we doing?

Yeah, I thought we could write down
all of our date zeroes.

List all of them.

Okay, then the next step
is take one of these papers

and write which one of these people
you're bringing to Hawaii.

Is this final?

I'm really excited about Hawaii

and I'm hopeful that Jess
will agree to come.

If it goes well, I hopefully,
like, ask her to be my partner.

You know, like,
those are my intentions.

I do feel like
I'm falling in love with Jess.

For sure. I do.

To be honest,
I'm completely torn right now

between who
I would wanna spend Hawaii with.

I think that Ryan
and I definitely have a connection

that's worth exploring.

I think that there could be
a similar thing with Chris.

Right now, I'm feeling like,
I really would like to spend time

with the both of them
and so I really don't know

what I'm gonna do.

- Fold it.
- Yeah.

And then we pass it around
so everyone can read.

But you don't have
to say it out loud.

Justin's like the most warm person
you've ever met.

I don't think I've laughed more.

I don't think I had more fun.

I don't think I've been able to joke
with guys more than with Justin.

But, you know,
Travis is really attractive.

You know, he's got a great job.
He's super smart and articulate.

So to be honest, I don't know.
