-[soft pop music playing]
-[Cole] Zanab?

I wanted to ask you if you'd be my wife!

[Zanab] Cole, I don't care
what you look like.

I would love to be your wife.

-Yes, I'll marry you. Oh my God.
-Oh my God!

-♪ It's time to go ♪
-[Cole yells][/i]

[Zanab] Hi! [laughs]

You better run! [chuckles]

-Oh my God.

[Raven laughs]

[Raven squeals]

My God. Like, wow.

♪ Whoa... ♪

-[Matt] What if you saw me in a bar?
-I'd love you to come up to me in a bar.

[Matt] Yeah?

[Raven] It's very strange to, like, have
such an emotional connection to someone...

[Matt] I like kissing you.

[Raven] ...you've only literally seen
once for, like, a few minutes.

That's why I kinda feel like,

"Does he still like me
like he liked me in the pods?"

I'm getting very mixed signals from you.

[Cole] We are into each other,

but there's moments in our day,
where we're just not...

It doesn't feel perfect.

[dramatic music plays]

I feel, like, definitely
still a little bit of awkward vibes.

I don't know what y'all do

-in the men's lounge.
-Having fun.

[Bartise] If I had any regrets, it'd be
cutting things off too quickly with Raven.

Nancy and Raven. I was like, "f*ck."

I'm literally having feelings
for multiple women right now.

Are you cool with me
being that honest with you?

Oh, she looks hot on the reg.

You wouldn't believe it,
looking at this. [laughs]

-I don't know. I still kinda like it.
-Thanks, babe.

It's the mouth guards for me.

-We're past the point now...
-She was like... [babbling]

Like, yeah, gotta protect these chompers.

And then we're just both,
like, mumble talking to each other.

Yes. It was like pure panic.

I had to rip it out
so I could say what I really felt.

-[slurring] Good night, Zay. Love you.

-[Bartise] First thing I see is pizza.
-Wine, pizza. Let's do it.

[vocalizing]

Hey, look at us. Look at the yacht.

I'm so excited! [laughs]

[Matt] We're having fun
and enjoying each other's time,

to see if we can even do that.

-Hello!
-Hey.

Hi, how are ya?

[Matt] To get the most
out of this whole experience,

that's what you have to do.
You have to see if you can enjoy

talking to this person, enjoy hanging out
with this person, and we are.

Cheers, baby.

Cheers, babe. I wanna pop some bottles.

[song fades out]

[Cole] I'm an animal.

To your surf lesson.

[Cole] How you feeling,
Miss Three-Fourths-a-Bottle?

-How hot you look on a surfboard.
-[Cole] Mm.

Yeah.

[Zanab] Like, I equally
liked watching you.

-[Cole] Really?
-Uh-huh.

That was sweet.
I'd sit on a beach with you any day.

-[Zanab] Yeah?
-Mm-hmm.

Even though I won't
get in the water with you?

Give me some champagne on the beach,
I will really watch you do anything.

-Watch whatever.
-It's fine. I will watch you do anything.

After seeing all the guys...

[Zanab] Yep?

...you having any second thoughts?

Not one.

-Not one?
-[Zanab] Not one. No.

After seeing all the girls,
are you[/i] having any second thoughts?

[Cole crunching]

Wow. It's the hesitation for me.

-It's the hesitation.
-[Cole laughs]

Some good... It's the quietness.

Maybe I don't even wanna hear your answer.

[both chuckle]

No! I'm not having any second thoughts.

-No?
-[Cole] Not even a little bit.

Raven's too much for me.

Alexa's just not my type.

Colleen is happily off with Matt.

I mean, everyone's just wonderful. So...

I know, but you were
excited to meet Colleen,

and you said that last night too.
You were like, "Oh, her and Matt."

The majority of girls that I've dated
have looked more like Colleen.

-[Zanab] Okay. I can see that.
-So...

I would peg you with someone
that looks like Colleen.

Exactly. But personality-wise
you are much more up my alley.

[Zanab] Hmm.

How do I do physically on your type?

Physically you're different
than anyone I've ever dated.

Oh.

Is that hard for you?

-Does it seem like it's hard for me?
-[Zanab] I don't know.

Heavy webbed.

No, I'm good.
You gotta stop fattening me up.

Come on. You're okay
with fattening me up though?

-You're fattening yourself up.
-You're like, "No." Mm!

-Wow!
-[Cole laughs]

-[Zanab] Cole.
-[Cole laughs]

[somber music playing]

Being a 30-year-old woman,

I really try to not be
that female that is insecure.

But Cole is unfiltered 1000% of the time.

But that's part of Cole
being just so transparent,

which is one
of the many things I love about him.

We do have the same
solid, like, foundation

that we built our love on,

which I hope does continue because...

I, in no way, want a love

that I have to question
or be, you know, insecure about.

[Zanab clucks]

That's a chicken.

That's the wrong noise.
What does a seagull make?

[Cole squawks]

"Mine! Mine!"

It's over now.
Just forget about it. Let it go.

[Colleen] I got my fiancé.
I got my bubbles.

Cheers to us.

-Cheers! Hey, look at us.
-Look at us.

[upbeat pop music plays]

[Colleen] I'm so happy.

Me too.
Especially after meeting everybody.

[Colleen] Yeah, everyone's, like, great.

But we're there. I said it to everybody,
too, last night, so... [chuckles]

"I don't care about anybody here.
I got my eyes on one person." [laughs]

That's all right. They know it.

-I'm so happy.
-Me too.

How was it meeting
the guys that you dated?

[music fades]

It was... interesting.

-[Matt] Was it?
-But, like, not like, like...

-It was you.
-Uh-huh? Uh-huh?

-And then Brennon and Cole were top two.
-[Matt] Right.

I think I told Brennon, "Remember
when you gave me a panic att*ck?"

About what?

'Cause he's the one that...
It was the rejection for me.

He shut you down, huh?

Yeah, him and Cole.

But y'all talked about that a bit?

[Colleen] I think so. I don't... I really...

What'd you think about Cole?

-He was quieter than...
-[Matt] He's kinda...

'Cause he was so, like...
like, bubbly in the pods.

-He's a good talker.
-Yeah?

-Absolutely.
-I feel like he was quieter.

At the same time, like,
I always knew it was you.

-Exactly. Exactly.
-So, I was like, "No. That's my guy."

-Yup. Yup.
-"That's my guy."

Gotta say, the only one
I really dated was Alexa.

-[Colleen] Yeah, but...
-But it was more like best-friend vibes.

-[Colleen] Best friends.
-You know?

And, like, only these people understand,

like, doing this whole thing.

That's why we can relate
on all that, you know?

-That's why our relationship is so strong.
-Falling in love in seven days, like...

Are you in love?

Babe!

-[Matt] Of course.
-Of course I am.

Aw, I love it. You're so cute.

-So, I got a question for you.
-[Colleen] Uh-huh?

We built an emotional connection.

The physical came, obviously,
when we met each other.

What about when we go back to Dallas?
What about whenever other guys are there,

whenever other people
are hitting on you, or what it is?

-How are you gonna respond to it?
-Yeah, I mean, honestly...

Okay, this is probably
not gonna be the best answer,

but, like, it's so good to actually be,
like, "Oh, no, no, I'm taken."

-Yeah, I love that. I love that.
-[giggles] Because I always...

-I always use it...
-I like that.

...whenever I get, like, hit on.

-I'll be, "Sorry, I have a boyfriend."
-Now you actually mean it. [laughs]

Now it's actually true,
but it's not a boyfriend. It's a fiancé.

Now it's, "I have a husband.
Sorry, I'm taken."

-You have a husband. How's that sound?
-Oh my God. It's very nice.

Yeah, yeah. [imitates Borat] "Very nice."

I love it. I love it.

I told you, you become
my security blanket, almost, where I'm...

Absolutely. Is that because
of how strong our relationship is?

-Yeah, just, like, how much I love you.
-It is, right?

[Matt] Absolutely. Absolutely.

Honestly, I mean, you know my story.

You know my history.
I was in a ten-year relationship.

And we went through a lot,
but the foundation that we built

in the last three weeks
is stronger than that entire deal.

That's so sweet.

Especially after, like,
what you went through,

like, I would never have to worry
about you, like, looking at other girls.

-[Matt] Absolutely not.
-'Cause you know how that feels.

[Matt] Absolutely.
It's the worst feeling in the world.

-[Colleen] That's right.
-Yeah.

-Think we'll get married?
-I w...

-Come on. I love that response.
-Come on.

I love that.

-[Colleen] Of course.
-I love that.

I'm never like this.

What?

-Like, uh...
-Smitten?

-Yeah. Well, yeah.
-Yeah?

Me neither.

You make this ranch very beachy.

-It's my hat.
-It's the hat. [laughs]

After three weeks
of carrying this bitch around...

-You finally get to wear it.
-Yeah, on a bench.

-[chuckles]
-In the shade.

-[Brennon laughs]
-[chuckling] In the shade.

It's been fun. I think it's...
it's definitely been an adventure,

and, like, I don't think that
I could have done it with anyone else.

[Brennon] But I'm still nervous...

[Alexa] Why?

[Brennon] About just living together
in the future.

[Alexa] Yeah.

-I feel like we've been doing that.
-We kinda have.

But it's out of a suitcase.
That's not the same.

-Like you being messy?
-Do you have, like... No, I'm not messy.

[chuckles]

-Um, I don't know.
-I'm a little... I mean, I can be sometimes.

This week will say otherwise. But like...

-Okay, this is different.
-Babe...

There's no hamper
to throw the dirty clothes.

There's no organization going on here.
It's random stuff.

-I don't know...
-So, it's been bad.

We'll see. 'Cause I'm the messy one.

We can't have
two messy people in one place or...

-I clean stuff up.
-Okay.

I've got a total of, like, 25 items,
and I just mix and match.

Lovely.

I have, like, literally
so many clothes, like,

I don't re-wear outfits.

-[Brennon] Oh.
-Ever.

Uh, who is that...

Marie Antoinette? Who, like,
never wore the same outfit twice?

I don't know, but that's me.

I mean...

A look is a look.

Okay.

If that's the worst thing about her,
then, sh*t, I'll take it.

What do you think is in my closet?
That's a good question.

Um...

-I feel like you literally...
-Country-boy sh*t.

-[laughs]
-Literally.

-It's gonna be a bunch of cowboy boots.
-No, it's not. That's it.

I brought all my cowboy boots that I own.

-Two pairs? That's a lot of pairs.
-That's it.

-That is a lot of pairs? Okay.
-Yeah.

I'm a fashionista, okay?

No. No, no, no. Mm-mm.

We're gonna go shopping.

We'll save the cowboy hat
and cowboy boots for another day...

-Um.
-[chuckles]

Like, five years down the line.

-Yeah. Yeah.
-[Brennon] Yeah.

We'll get you, like, all, like, done up.

[Brennon] I try to be open
to new fashion styles and stuff,

but, yeah, I'm not gonna do that.
That ain't happening.

She'll figure that out quick.

Classy, bougie, ratchet. That's me.
I'm a savage.

-[chuckles]

-Hey, identify yourself however.
-Yeah. [laughs]

Mmm! Oh my God. You have to...

I'm doing that next. I'm doing that next.

Mmm! Mm, mm, mm.

-[Bartise] This is delicious. Holy sh*t.
-[Nancy] Yeah?

[Bartise] Mm-hmm.

Um, are you good, or should I top you off...

I'm gonna k*ll this one
and then get some of that.

Just so you know, I don't ever want
my partner to feel, like, disrespected.

But I think last night,
knowing what was going on

with, like, you and Raven and stuff,
I was so confused.

I saw the... Raven in the lounge,

and I'm assuming

that Raven was not in the pod.

[emotional music plays]

[Nancy] Raven seems to be very...

like, playful, but also,

she's a little negative.

[Bartise] Mm-hmm.

Like, "I can't. I'm done. I'm done."

Honestly, I was kind of surprised

that she was on the top of your list.

[tense pop music plays]

"Raven?" Like, I was really taken aback

because we're very different.

So, yeah, I... I... That is surprising.

Last night Bartise mentioned,
"Raven would definitely be

the type of girl
that I date, like, body-type wise."

But the whole point of this is that

our foundation was built off
of that emotional connection,

and Raven, emotionally,

couldn't have been
who he wanted and needed.

[Bartise] Me and Raven had
a huge, like, connection

because we shared, like, everything
fitness-related and everything,

and so we connected strongly over that.
With me and you, it was like...

I didn't...
When I went into the pod with Raven,

I knew I'd have to bring the energy

and kind of...
She'd be kind of trying to match me.

But for me and you,
it was just, like, boom, boom, boom.

-Boom, boom, boom!
-We're climbing on each other.

-And so that's who I fell in love with.
-Yeah.

I just couldn't get you out of my gut.

And when I was trying
to have a date with Raven,

I was thinking about you.
I was like, "You know what?"

"These girls are completely opposite.
Like, what I'm doing?"

"Why am I sitting here?
Falling in love with two girls,

and they're completely
different like this."

So, that's when I was like,

"You know what? I have to end
this whole thing with Raven now

because Nancy's my number one by far.
That's who I want to continue going with."

[Zanab] It's the hair.

[song fades]

-[Nancy] Let me ask you this.
-Yeah.

-I'm a Scorpio. You're a Scorpio.
-Okay. [chuckles]

-So, touchy-feely is, like, my world.
-Right.

I don't know Raven in that aspect.

I think the third or fourth thing
she said to me was,

"I'm not a very affectionate person."

And I kind of knew
what I was signing up for,

and I told her, "Hey, I want
to fall in love with you the Raven way."

"So, whatever way you wanna be loved

is what I'm gonna give to you."

Having that conversation with Raven
yesterday helped us open up more.

I definitely feel like
we've made a lot of progress

and enhanced our connection
with each other.

She's getting a lot more
comfortable with me,

but at the same time,
we haven't been intimate with each other.

Uh, there's definitely a good amount

of healthy sexual tension
that's brewing between us.

Like, sometimes I have to wake myself up.

Like, "Okay, okay. All right.
Be a gentleman. Okay."

But not having it in the beginning

hasn't really changed the way I see her
or the way I see our relationship.

How are y'all doing?

[Raven] Medium at first,
but it's better every single day.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

I feel like all our problem is...

like, at first like
all we were doing is having, like...

realistic conversations and, like,

just very serious all the time.

-So, now you're letting loose here?
-[Raven] Yeah, now.

Literally, like, you know,
like, just making jokes with each other.

[Alexa] Yeah.

[Raven] I need you to bring the energy.

I need you to, like,
really start to open up.

Yeah.

It took a moment with, like...

The whole sex thing.

-It took a moment. Like I was telling you.
-Yeah, yeah.

[pulsing pop music playing]

[Colleen] Mm-hmm?

[Alexa whispers] It's like a...

like a...

like a 2 minute...

like jamming it in.

-[Colleen giggles]
-I'm like, what?

Hello?

-Hello?
-Hello? [laughs]

He's like, "Are you okay?" And I'm like,
"No. I've been telling you." [chuckles]

It's been a situation.

But we're good. We're very good now.
Now I'm like, "Whoa."

[Alexa laughs]

Zay! Room for one more!

[Zanab] I'm gonna look like
a wet dog if I get on that.

Come on!

-No. Can I like just sit and cheer you on?
-No.

[Zanab] Can I just like preserve
what I worked really hard on?

-The fit, right?
-Like, come on!

Not all of us
look so good really wet like that.

I'm doing good too.
It's good to see you in person now.

I know. Yeah, same. It is good to see you.

[Bartise] Raven's a beautiful girl.
She's very fit.

Great eyes, the hair, the curls.

She's just a very gorgeous girl.
So, Raven definitely is a head-turner.

We did have a connection.
Like, I do care. Like, it's... it's...

You know, we formed
something special in the pods.

I still care what she might think of me.

And I hope that she would care
what I think of her because, you know,

we're human beings end of the day.
We developed something real.

It's not like we developed
something real, and it's over.

Was it weird? 'Cause, like,
we had a crazy emotional connection.

Was it weird being here
talking to me, like, face-to-face now,

or is it, like, natural?

'Cause we were
very comfortable in the pods.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I still feel comfortable
talking to you face-to-face.

-No, for sure.
-[Raven] Yeah.

I feel most comfortable
talking to you face-to-face.

I mean, honestly,
like, I could tell in the pods.

You told me you get
a lot of male attention,

so I was like,
"Okay, she probably a baddie."

Then I saw you walk, and I was like,

"Damn, yeah. f*ck.
She's a good-looking girl."

But, like this is, like, Love is Blind.
It's not about that.[/i]

-So, I was like...
-[Raven laughs]

Not about that. But I had to bring it up.

-Give you a compliment. But, yeah.
-Thank you. I appreciate that.

I was... I was very impressed
when I saw you in person.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

I was like, "Attagirl. Attagirl."
You know, you're k*lling it, so...

-"I work out." Thank you.
-[Bartise chuckles]

I feel like, on paper,
we look like this freaking perfect match.

Obviously, I came down to you,
and I came down to Nancy, right?

And I had a connection with Nancy
that was very strong

and emotional and, like, fun and, like,

we could always joke,
and it was a best friend kind of vibe.

Me and you had a connection
where it was like, we're so similar.

-We both love fitness, nutrition.
-[Raven] Mm-hmm.

It was like, "Damn."
Everything we talked about was,

like, this is a connection.
This is a connection. Similarity.

-A similarity.
-[Bartise] Right, a similarity.

I feel like
you don't have to go up to girls.

But, like, I'm never gonna go up to a guy.

So we would literally probably
never talk if we went to a bar.

Right, but I might have approached you.
I might have approached you. [laughs]

[Raven] The reason why
I'm not super flattered

by what Bartise is saying
is because, like,

Bartise never had any compliments
for the Pod Raven.

Until now, he has compliments
for the Physical Raven.

So, for me, it's, like,
not flattering at all,

and I know, like, for some girls,
that, like, is a big thing.

They wanna be told they're pretty,
and I wanna feel like my man loves me

and thinks I'm beautiful.

Um, but I also wanna know that, like,

he appreciates, you know,

my mind, and our connection,
and how we're growing,

and... you know, how we push each other.

And that is not something
that Bartise is looking for.

I really feel like we don't have
a lot of compatibility

for what we both want in a partner.

I feel reassured in, like,
the way that I want to receive love,

and the way that I give it, you know?

-And I hope that you feel the same way.
-Yeah.

We're doing the right thing.

Like, I think SK and I
definitely are, like, very more,

like, methodical people,
like, you know, just more realists.

[Bartise] Mm-hmm.

[Raven] He matches my,
like, chiller energy.

We've all made the right choices for,
like, emotionally, the people that we are.

Right. I think we're both happy
with where we are now.

Yes. Like, I'm so confident about that.

-[Bartise] Yeah.
-Yeah. It is Love is Blind, [/i]so...

-Like...
-[both chuckle]

-We're proving that, then, huh?
-[Raven] Yeah, yeah.

Honestly, we are
so emotionally incompatible.

I don't know what
we would say in real life besides, like,

"Oh, I'd like to go to the gym
and lift weights."

It's like, "I don't know...
Do you wanna go to LA Fitness tonight?"

-Wanna go work out together?
-Yeah, what else would there even be?

[Bartise] I don't know.

[Raven] I am not interested at all.

I'm focused on my[/i] man and my[/i] life.

So, from the bottom of my heart,
like, it's not a thing for me.

[Alexa] How are y'all?

I am just not in the place to be like,

"Oh yeah. Everything's perfect."

She's not...

She's not the first girl I'd pick out
in a crowd and said, "I think she's hot."

So, physically there is
some growing for me to do.

I think she is hot now.

Because I love her.

But like, if you want the truth...

-That would be my answer.
-[Alexa] Yeah.

It doesn't mean
that I don't think she's gorgeous.

-It's different from what my natural...
-[Alexa] What your thing is.

-Yeah. Exactly.
-[Alexa] Yeah.

[Cole] I have feelings for Zay...

but I'm not like...

[upbeat pop music playing]

I'm not head over heels, yet.

Yeah.

Um, okay, I'm literally f*cking dying.

I just feel like that was, like,
very weird. Like, 1000%.

Like, but very, like, open about it.

Like, literally, I didn't have to pressure
for a conversation.

[music fades]

I'm not gonna lie
and say that's like, "Oh yeah."

-"Snap. Did it!"
-Great!

-Like, "We're good."
-She's great.

-[Cole] Yeah.
-Love it! Oh my God, she's amazing.

It's like, a little, like, tea session.

Mama gets the tea. I don't even drink tea.
I'm a coffee drinker. I get all the tea.

-[funky music plays]
-[Alexa laughs]

[Matt and Brennon whooping]

[Nancy] She got that sunlight
in those brown eyes. Like, ow!

[Alexa] Are y'all the f*cking
cutest couple here?

Hey.

Ah, yes. Yes. Yes.
It's a wet Alexa for meme.

[Alexa] Hubby material there.

-That's what it is.
-[Nancy] Baby girl.

I'm, like, high energy, in like...

-Yeah.
-[Raven] Not a high-strung way,

but I'm like, "Let's do it."
Like, I don't like to take time.

Like, I walk fast.
I'm, like, boom, boom, boom.

No. Like, he's gonna count every step.

-I love that. I love it.
-I love it too.

There's nothing on anybody else's time.
You know, it's...

-It's SK time. It is.
-I f*cking love it though. I love it.

So, Raven and SK,
I think I was a little skeptical at first.

I thought that, uh,
their personalities wouldn't match up.

Now that I've talked to Raven,
I've talked to SK,

I feel like opposites attract,
and they're gonna take off.

[Raven] Matt was forgettable.
I didn't even remember that

he was a part of this.

But now seeing him and Colleen,
who is like, one of my best girls, like,

honestly, I might give them number one.

[Alexa] Brennon and I
are doing, like, perfect.

After talking to everybody and, like,
everybody's, like, spilling their tea...

Like, we have no tea to spill.

Brennon, Alexa. Perfect mesh of weirdness.

[Alexa] If it was a competition,
we would be, like, number one.

[music halts]

But it's not. But we are.

[music resumes, fades out]

-[Cole] How are you and Matt?
-I mean, great. You know?

So you're ready to get married right now?

[Colleen] Like, sure. Sign me up. Ask me.

That's where Matt's at too, obviously, so...

-Yeah.
-[Cole] Y'all are getting married clearly.

[Colleen] I'm just like,
going with how I'm feeling.

How you're feeling?
But what about what you're thinking?

[tense music playing]

Do you have any, like, reservations or...?

-No, not at all! That's why I'm like...
-[chatter in background]

What he's been telling me is
everything's perfect. But, really?

-I mean, that's the only thing. That's...
-[Cole] Come on.

-No, that's the only thing...
-How?

No, that's the only thing that, like,
we haven't come across anything.

So of course that's scary, where it's like
when are we gonna find a hurdle?

We haven't been in the real world yet.
I'm not... I'm not naive.

Where it's like,
sh*t can happen, so we'll see.

[music fades]

-[Colleen] But how you doing?
-What do you wanna know?

-Anything, everything.
-Anything, everything?

How's Zay? Like, what are your...

Do you have reservations?

Yeah, she... I mean...
I fell in love with her in the pods.

-We have an emotional connection.
-For sure.

She's an amazing girl. But, like...

We do have a physical connection,
but it's not...

-Like I said, it's not like the...
-[Colleen] Yeah.

[Cole] Like, she wouldn't have been
the first girl I picked out of the...

If I was just
basing this fully on physical.

-[Colleen] In the real...
-Yeah.

-Who would your initial type be?
-You.

Really?

For sure, like, you would be
the person who I would go to in a bar.

I'd approach you in a bar...
A bar too, by the way.

-[dramatic music plays]
-[Cole laughs]

-Yeah. Yeah.
-[Cole] We'd approach each other.

Are you at all mad at me from the pods?

-Like...
-No, not at all.

I... I knew that I would be physically
attracted to you, but I was, like...

It was hard for you to say no to me.

Just a little bit. [laughs]

[Cole chuckles]

-Like, I know you're cute.
-[Colleen] Yeah.

It is very...

interesting.

I know. It's weird.

Yes, you'd be someone I'd go for...

in the "real world."

Colleen's the girl

How was tonight?

It was interesting.

-You talked to Raven today.
-Mm-hmm.

How was it talking to her?

[music fades]

Talking to Raven, it was good.

[Nancy] Mm-hmm.

And... seeing her

in... in the flesh, it makes sense.

Like, gorgeous girl. I told her this.
I was like, "Listen, like,

on paper, me and you make sense.
You're f*cking gorgeous. You're fit."

"Like, we look good to the naked eye."

If you were to look at Raven and me,
and we were at a bar,

at a restaurant, that would make sense.

[tense music playing]

But if you compare that
to me and your relationship,

our connection was emotional.

Our connection was energetic.
Our connection was fun. It was easy.

We're making connections
based on what we're saying,

not based on who we are physically.

[Nancy] Mm-hmm.

[music fades]

[Bartise] Do you think

Raven and SK would say yes?

[tense music resumes]

I honestly think
they're both gonna say yes.

Yeah.

My biggest fear...

And this plays into the fact
of us falling in love, which we have done.

But in my previous relationships,

I've fallen in love before.
Not on this level.

But in my previous relationships,
that love has... fizzled out,

and I can't identify

a reason for that having happened.

It's just I... I have lost interest
in the girl that I was in love with.

-I feel like it's real.
-Yeah.

But I'm just worried
that there might be a fizzle-out aspect

because we need to experience each other
more in Dallas, not in this

beautiful fairy tale.

-Mm-hmm.
-You know what I'm saying?

If we held a wedding right now,
what do you think the answer would be?

-Yes.
-Yeah?

[Nancy] Mm-hmm.

-Your answer right now would be yes?
-Mm-hmm.

Really?

Even though we've never gone

-Yes.

[Cole chuckles]

I had a great time till it came...
Till it came down to me and you.

Was all of this...

because what I said to you?

Mm-hmm.

You came over, you were swimming over,

and you're, like,
"Oh, I'm coming over to my girl!"

-Something ridiculous.
-[Cole chuckles]

[Zanab] And then I asked you to rate me.

I was like, "You're a nine out of ten."

-Uh-huh?
-And then you were like,

"Is there anyone here
who you think is a ten out of ten?"

-I was just like...
-"Yeah, Colleen."

No, I was like, "Maybe one person."

-No, you said two people.
-Stop.

Raven and Colleen, which, like,
I mean, come on, duh.

But still, though, super shitty to hear.

And I gave you a nine out of ten!

Do you realize I give, like,


like, less than a seven?
I gave you a nine out of ten, okay?

A nine out of ten.

Maybe it's my fault
'cause I asked you to rate me.

That's all on me.

Those are just self-esteem issues,
babe, that I have to work through.

That's fine. It's fine.

I'm good.

[tense music plays]

It's really crappy to hear
that the man you love

and the man
that you're engaged to is, like,

"Oh yeah, I'm physically
attracted to this girl."

"You're nine out of ten."

[laughs]

"But she's a ten out of ten."

I just don't know if other women
would receive that better than me.

Maybe I'm very irrational, um,

but I absolutely hated hearing that.

I don't like you when you're mad.

[Zanab] It just makes me question a lot

about how he feels about me
and the relationship we have.

Maybe it goes back to my insecurities,

but it's just not something
that sits well with me at all.

[music fades]

It's, like, there's always gonna be
other girls and all that.

[Zanab] 100%.

What's gonna matter is that, like,
you know I've chosen you.

-Uh-huh.
-I 100% choose you over everyone else.

-I'm ready to put a ring on your finger.
-Right, it's...

It's not necessarily
over the "everyone else."

Yeah.

Do you have any desire
to build with anyone else?

No, but I think Colleen's attractive.

So is everyone here. So is Brennon.

So is SK. Everyone is good-looking here.

Everyone knows Colleen's hot.

Shocker.

Do I have feelings for her? No.

Would I ever marry her? No.
Would I marry you? Yes.

[tense music resumes]

She's a great-looking girl.

I can't change that.

But I don't have any feelings for her.

I appreciate it.

-Not great to hear, but it is what it is.
-Thank you.

-Yeah.

who I'm with, that's not the case.

[voice breaking] Okay.

I'm not confused at all
about who I'm with.

I agree that it's real.

It's very clear, Cole, for me.

I don't doubt that there are feelings

between us at all.

I will be patient as long as
there's something to be patient for.

I just hope you respect me enough
to tell me when there's not anymore.

And if it's something that is not

gonna work, then we make that decision

that that's not
what we're gonna do anymore.

Okay.

Those are my expectations for someone
that, like, I would love and respect.

I want this to work.

I wouldn't be here

But... I just, like,
with all the unknowns coming up...

I'm really scared.

I'm fearful...

I'll, like, figure out it's you,

and I give absolutely everything I have.

And then, in four weeks,
we're just not in the same place.

I feel things very deeply.

Very, very deeply.

There's a part of me that, like,
would wish you would just know...

Like, just be more...

It's not even, like, more committed.
It's not even...

Yeah. More into you and only you.
No, it is. I know what you're saying.

I would... Like, it's not even me.

Like, I'd just love for you to be more on
just, like, one person, and that's it.

-But I truly don't...
-I'm only on you.

What do you want me to say?
"Mm-mm. No, I don't have eyeballs."

"No, I don't see anyone else
with a nice body and a cute face."

If that's the honesty that we'll go with,
we'll keep it moving in our relationship.

Do you want me to do that?

Want me to say, "Oh no.
You're the only girl I see."

No, I don't, because now, forever,

-I did!

"You're attracted to me.
Cool. I'm glad. That's my man."

None of the f*ckin' girls
told me I was attractive

when they were attracted to me
and they wanted to be with me.

whatever happens, happens.

Would you be upset?

Man-to-man, would you be upset?

-[producer] Me personally?
-[Matt] You personally.

Yeah, you f*cking would be.

And if I woulda done the same
to one of the girls,

I'd be the f*cking player
that's playing her like a f*cking fiddle.

And I'm not gonna get played, bud. 'Kay?

It's not a game. This is my life.
This is my life.

If I'm gonna commit to somebody,
I got to know that she's with me 100%.

-[producer] Still committed to Colleen?
-Eh...

I don't know.

♪ I'm playing with fire ♪

♪ As the flames go higher ♪

♪ Shoulda let you go
If I don't know who you are ♪

♪ I lost you to the burning desire ♪

♪ I'mma let you go
'Cause I don't know who you are ♪

[vocalizing]

♪ 'Cause I don't know who you are ♪

[vocalizing]

♪ Who you are ♪
