03x08 - The Secrets Are Out

[bunniefuu]

Daniella: C.J. -- I still don't
know anything about him.

He could be a nice guy.
He could be an f-boy.

At this time, all I can do
is take that in.

I do have other
connections here.

Vince: I can't help
but feel heartbroken.

It took a lot out of me
to say I love you to Katie.

But he is.
So that's the game.

I've been heartbroken.

Man: No way.

I came back.

I thought it would be fun.

I thought I could
win some money.

Katie: The first time
I met Benedict,

he said, I'm here for you.

So suddenly I'm questioning
everything about the connection

that I was so confident in.

I have no idea now
where he stands.

But I never expected
to meet somebody that's --

I don't want to hear it.
I really don't.

You literally was like,
"I see you as my girlfriend."

How am I supposed to believe
anything you say to me?

And I had these very open
and transparent conversations.

And you sit there and you try
to validate my my concerns,

as if I'm crazy for questioning
your intentions with me.

And you want to just sit there
and just point blank

say, "I'm an f-boy."
That's what you want to say.

I came here in a different
head space, met you --

At my expense.

I didn't know I'd meet
someone like you here.

I'm a nice guy deep down.

I don't think you know
who you are.

Truly.

I'm really sorry.

Me, too.

Oh, my God.

Alright, Benedict.
Thank you.

Benedict:
Glad to get that off my chest.

I'm glad Katie knows.
It's hard to see her upset,

but I know deep down
she knows who I really am,

so I'm gonna have to
prove it with my actions.

It's my only option.
It's what I've got to do.

Nice guys, f-boys --

everything's out
in the open now.

And just because no one
got eliminated tonight

does not mean you're safe.

Far from it.

Head back to the Bro Chateau,
think about what you've done.

Let's get the hell
out of here.

I want out of here
right now.

Get me out of these heels!
Get me out of this dress!

I'm so glad

There was quite a few shockers
last night.

Hey, girls.
Girls: Hi.

How are you?

As good as we can be.

Yeah.
You're in mourning,

I'm guessing.

Can we talk about Benedict?

He said, like, "I came here
as one thing,

but I met you," you know?
OK, then when did that happen?

When was the switch
for you emotionally?
Right.

Last night,
I think it was very telling

when he said,
"I thought it would be fun."

It also plays into the whole

Instagram stuff you saw
and were like,

"Oh, is this about
your career?"
Yeah.

Or his lack of career,
because there's money here.

Yes.
Like, I'm sorry,
I'm just gonna --

I'm done being nice.

Yes.
You know, like,
I'm here for my experience

and my journey,
and this is supposed to be my,

like,
redo for finding love.

And I'm not gonna let
some f-boy ruin that for me.

Well, last night was eventful,
would you say?

Man: Very.

[ Laughter ]

Very.
Benny was a surprise to me.

You guys didn't know?

-No. No, bro.
-We did not know.

Man: I thought
it was a joke.

Katie was visibly upset
when I told her I was an f-boy.

And you know,
it's hard to see that,

but I'm willing to do whatever
I can to fight for Katie.

It's the only reason I'm here.
I'm gonna fix this.

So for me, I had in my mind
Mercedes was an f-boy

because he did this already
as an f-boy.

Yeah.
Evander threw me
through a loop.

I just feel
like they played me.

Like, I feel stupid
a little bit.

Yeah.
I came on to the island
with a goal in mind --

to leave with someone
that I can trust.

At the moment,
I don't trust any of them.

Yeah.

It's hurtful to know
that all my guys are f-boys.

I would like to think that I
have better judgment than that,

and I just really
don't want to open up

and give these guys
another chance.

I really thought Jared was
an f-boy that could be reformed.

I thought Christian
was a nice guy.

And then C.J.,
it was a letdown to hear

because he has been trying
and making efforts.

I just would have been
so pleasantly surprised by C.J.

But I mean, if it walks like
a duck and quacks like a duck,

it's usually an f-boy.

Obviously,
you all know my character.

Y'all know I'm hella chill
and down to earth,

so people probably
wouldn't have expected --

or it was a little bit
on the fence whether,

"Oh, I don't know
if C.J.'s a nice guy or,

you know, but --
Man: I told you, bro,

the dangly earrings.
Dangly earrings.

Yeah, I told you, bro.
The dangly earrings.

I wasn't surprised.

It's the broccoli haircut
for me.
A nice guy.

[ Laughter ]

Well, each of you are going
to have 3-on-1 dates this week.

That means one date
with three of your guys,

so have fun on them.
I can't wait to hear about it.

of last night.

I'll forgive you.

I do feel
like I'm back in the race,

and that's all I want.

All I wanted was another chance
to prove to Katie

that I can be the guy for her.

How are you feeling?

I don't know. I had, like,
mixed feelings after the reveal.

I don't really want
to win by default,

because I don't want you to make
a decision

on who you want to be with

Yeah.
I really don't.

We have our own connection,

of, like,
the reveal last night,

our connection
is very unexpected

And I hope you know that.
Yeah.

Obviously, my connection
with Vince is very strong.

But I do have to wonder,
is he too good to be true?

I brought the three of you

We have, like,
warm up games over here.

Man: OK.
Yay! OK.

Any of y'all know
how to play fish ball?

I have always wanted to go
on a carnival date,

but I'm not gonna lie,

finding out that all three of my
guys are f-boys was very tough.

I don't know which of them,
if any, that I can trust.

And there is money
on the line now.

They have the power to take
everything for themselves.

So going into this date,
I'm pushing past my anger

and hurt and deciding
which one of them I can trust

because they're definitely
not gonna play with me.

Pie the F-boy --
I figure it's self-explanatory.

Who wants to go first?

[ Men laughing ]

It's almost like I'm walking
into a lion's den.

We're all f-boys, so I know
she's not in the best mood.

I feel a little bit
more satisfied.

Let's be real -- it's only us
three left as nice guys.

Hali has three f-boys.

Based on Hali's reactions
last night,

she just seemed like
she was fed up.

At that point,
I don't even know

if I'd want to be here.

There's $100,000
at the finish line,

and all these guys
going after her are f-boys.

Even if they say
they're reformed or whatever

or now they're nice
or whatever it is --

They may take that money.
They may take the $100,000.

She has, like, no safe space.
Yeah, no.

There's no one.
I mean, if I was her, like,

I would even consider
leaving right now.

What's the point of trying
to further these connections

and you're just
risking heartbreak?

They're not looking out
for the best interests of Hali.

All they're focused on
is trying to survive

and inch their way closer
and closer to the $100,000.

I was so good
on that last one.

Yeah, that was perfect.
That hit me right in the face.

It was really good.

It was fun for me,
but I know it was probably

not fun for y'all, so.
I'm a little sticky.

Yeah. Obviously, we know
that three of you are f-boys.

Yes.
So I just want to thank you

for making me look like
a [bleep] idiot.

I appreciate it.
I really do.

if y'all wanted to say anything.

I definitely want
to apologize.

We didn't make you look

better every single day.

there's certain reasons
why that label is on me.

I didn't try to deceive you
in any way,

and I'm truly so sorry.

I am someone who went
through so much adversity.

When I met you,
things changed.

Definitely just happy to be here
with you right now.

I think it's his birthday.

It is.
What are we doing?

Man: Hali, get
those birthday licks in.

Katie:
I'll be very honest --

this dress is
really [bleep] tight.

Yeah? [ Laughs ]
It looks great.

It doesn't look comfortable.
Thank you.

You want to
take it off of me?

[ Laughs ]
That's my style, I guess.

Hali: I just want
to understand.

Yeah, come on.
I feel like
who you are showing up as

doesn't seem authentic
to me.

OK. I get to where
you don't trust people.

And you kind of shouldn't,

because there are people here
who may be playing a game.

I'm not playing a game.
I came here with my heart.

My heart's open,
and my heart wants you.

Then why did you come here as
an f-boy if your heart is open?

Because I'm
a reformed f-boy.

I'm not buying that, "Oh,
I met you and my life changed."

I think Mercedes says
what he thinks sounds good

and what he thinks
you want to hear.

I would never do anything
to hurt you.

And, you know,
I can guarantee you that.

If there was one girl that could
make me hang up my f-boy Jersey,

it would be Hali.

And you know, I can't wait
to leave this island with her.

I'm not here for
the money anymore. I want Hali.

Daniella: Today, Jared comes up
and talks to me,

and he's like, "What is it
with you and Christian?

Because, like --
What do you guys talk about?"

This is out of Jared's mouth.
He's like, "He's boring."

And I'm like...
He said that?

Yeah.
Wait, so Jared said
I was boring.

Like, how did you
all get on that?

He knows my personality and
he's not wrong with some things.

And he was just like,
I just want to know,

what is it with Christian?
Because he's like,

you need someone who's
gonna keep you on your toes.

Adventurous, like,
take charge.

Christian: I'm not up here to be
a stand up comedian.

I'm here to look
for a solid connection.

And if she wants to see that,
I can show her that side.

But at the same time,
I ain't no puppet.

I don't want to keep...
asking.

I don't want to keep
prying it out of you.

I want you to feel
comfortable enough with me.

I want to see that,
to move forward with you.

You will see that.
But I need it.

I understand.

E.J.: At the end of the day,
we want what's best

for the girls.

I don't care if it's you.
I don't care if it's me.

It can't be Cedes.
You feel me?

Mercedes is not
a good human being.

I just think
he's playing the game

because he knows how to play,
and it's working for him.

So I'm nervous
about tonight, man.

It's the final three.

He played this game before.
He knows what he's doing.

Yeah, he has the blueprint.
He has the blueprint.

Hali: What?

It's my birthday.

I know it's your birthday.

OK. Come.

Evander: I don't think he has
the right intentions here.

And I've held my tongue
for a while.

E.J.: A long time.

But we're in a totally
different situation.

Mercedes is so inconsistent.
I think he's a liar,

and I feel like he's lied
so much to the point

where he just believes
his own lies at this point.

She gotta know.

Are you gonna tell her,
like, now or wait?

Hell, 100%.

Hell yeah.

I don't know if I can move
forward with an f-boy.

I don't date f-boys.

I know you have high
standards and you hold yourself

to those morals
and standards,

which is something
that I'm also looking for.

Katie: I have Marco,
who is here as a nice guy.

And then I have Benedict,
who is a f-boy.

And as much as I thought

the title wouldn't impact me,
it has.

Knowing that you're a nice guy
has allowed me to just be like,

I want you to stay.

I want to keep getting
to know you.

Like, it just feels
like a safe space.

I have feelings for you,

and I really, genuinely want
to keep pursuing that.

If you give me
the time.
Yeah.

Christian: Hey, young Jared, let
me holla at you real quick.

So I just want to
talk to you real quick.

Because Daniella did mention
about how you said,

"How is your relationship with
Christian? Because he's boring."

She said
that I said that?

Yeah.
Hm. I didn't say that.

I said that you're
more private, into yourself.

And whether she finds
that as boring, that's on her.

So you're saying
she's saying I'm boring.

I'm not gonna
put words in her mouth.

I don't know
what she said to you.

Christian is definitely
shook right now

with me
calling him boring,

but compared to me,
he's boring.

My opinion on you
doesn't matter.

Daniella's does.
That's true.

That's all that matters.

Alright, brother.

a light push.

Mercedes sees things
differently about life.

In what way?
Like a very selfish way.

He doesn't care about anyone.

I just think
he's been here before.

He knows the routine.
He knows how to deceive people.

He knows this game,

He's won the money before.

I think he's here

He understands the assignment.

To come back

they didn't say anything
new or anything

We'll start with
Daniella's guys.

Christian, why do you deserve
to be in Daniella's final two?

Being a nice guy, some people
take that as maybe I'm boring.

But what I don't think is boring
is coming home to you

every night, not cheating.

And also what's not boring,
I'm here for you.

How's that for boring?
Nikki: Thank you, Christian.

Jared.
Daniella,

ever since I got
to the island and we met,

we had a genuine connection
from the very first mixer,

the very first night
that we talked,

and that's what makes it
so organic and authentic.

Thank you, Jared.

C.J., why do you deserve to be
in Daniella's final two?

Daniella, our relationship
has truly been battle tested,

and you make me
want to be a better man

for you every single day.

I just want to be
your double black diamond.

Thank you, C.J..
Let's move on to Hali's guys.

E.J., why do you deserve
to be in Hali's final two?

Hali, you showed me
how I can be as a man,

how I can really grow up,

how I can really look
into the future.

I'll put my neck
out there for you.

Thanks, E.J..
Now let's hear from Evander.

Hali, you're
such a strong woman,

and that's what I needed
in my life.

I'm such a different person
from my past.

I'm here for the right reasons.
I'm truly a good guy.

And I know it may look
like I'm incomplete,

but I feel like with you,
you will make me complete.

Thank you, Evander.
Alright, Mercedes,

why do you deserve
to be in Hali's final two?

Hali, ever since
I come in here,

I've had less time
than these guys,

and I built
a stronger connection,

and that should
speak volumes to you.

I've only worried
about what you want

and what you need in a man,
and I know that's me.

And I just want the opportunity
to show you that.

Thank you, Mercedes.
Let's move on to Katie's guys.

Marco, why do you deserve
to be in Katie's final two?

Katie, you have
three great men right here --

two nice guys and one f-boy --

that, but I'm already changing.
