Hey, we matching.

-Cheers, guys.

-[Demari] First one's in?
-First one's in.

Let's have a time.

I love this little, like,

That could've came out wrong,

-Hi.
-Hi. I'm Mackenzie.

My best friend's name is Mackenzie.

-Really?
-I'll remember your name. I'm Natalie.

[Mackenzie] Michigan is so dead.

Like, it is a dead state for dating.

The men are usually tall, lanky,
skinny bean poles

that probably can't even change a tire,

so I'm hoping
to stray away from that a bit.

-Want a drink?
-Hi. I'm Mackenzie.

Mackenzie, I'm Nick.

[Mackenzie] I'm so ready
to share my life with somebody.

I just want to find love.

I have no complaints.

-Where are you from? Did you do a show?
-I was on
Too Hot to Handle.

[Marissa] Okay, I get it.

-Too Hot to Handle.
Got it.
-[Demari] You should've been there too.

[Marissa and Demari laugh]

Demari, that man is fine,

and I could tell he was eyeing me,
so there is something there.

-I live in LA. How about you?
-I'm in D.C.

You gotta go.
Oh my God, you're gonna love D.C.

Yeah. You never know.

It's really nice to have a friend in here.

[Jimmy] Why is every dude here '", '"?

This ain't fair.

-What's your name? Alison.
-Hi, I'm Chris. Nice to meet you.

-In Miami, we do the side kiss.
-Yeah, I love it.

My heart and my character make me a catch.

It helps that I'm tall, and that I'm fit,
and I have money. [chuckles]

-I'd wear a color just like that.
-You wanna match me? That's what's up?

-[Chris] I have shorts exactly like that.
-Just like this?

-You want this outfit? You wanna trade?
-[laughs]

[Chris] Every girl here is ten out of ten.

I just hope that I don't get lovestruck
too fast. That's all.

-[Ally] Who's the bartender?
-[Chris] I can do the cooking.

-I don't know about the bartending.
-That's good.

[Chris] My favorite is like
lobster and steak.

[Ally] Ooh!

Oh my God!

Let's get married.

I need someone that can cook.

That's like a non-negotiable for me
because I really, like, will starve.

-Is this everybody?
-Yeah.

-[Marissa] We cheers, guys?
-Yeah, we cheers. Cheers.

[all] Cheers!

[Nick] What's up?

-[Demari] Let's do it.
-Look at this beautiful squad.

What's up? What's up? What's up?

Nick Lachey!

-[Ally] Hello!
-[Chris] What's up, man?

Nick walks into the house.

The first thing I'm thinking is
Mr. Backstreet Boys.

[upbeat music playing]

[soft tinkle]

[Lachey] Gather around. Gather around.

I'm stoked to see him.

Second-most handsome Nick in Mexico.

[chuckles]

[Lachey] Guys, first of all, welcome.

I'm Nick Lachey,

and you guys are some of
the most desirable singles in the world.

-Oh. Mmm.
-That is why you are here.

You guys will have the opportunity

to see if one of these eligible singles
is your perfect match.

And it's also a competition.

So at the end,

anyone who's been in this house
will cast their vote

for the one couple
they feel is the perfect match.

[Jimmy] Sure!

[Lachey] And that couple will jet off

on an all expenses paid vacation for two
to continue their romance.

[all cheering]

So get to know each other, talk, flirt,

but at the end of the night,
everyone will have to match up.

Who's ready to find their perfect match?

-[Demari] Let's do it.
-That's right.

All right, we're gonna do this
right here, right now.

-[Alison] What are you doing?
-[Lachey] This is a reveal.

-That's what this is.
-[Ally] Oh my God!

-[Alison] Okay, first game.
-[Jimmy] Already?

That leads us to a little game called
Play Your Cards Right.

[rock music playing]

All right, this is how it's gonna work.

I'm gonna pass out
to each of you five cards.

Gentlemen, you'll receive five cards
with the faces of the ladies.

Ladies, you'll receive five cards
with the faces of the gentlemen.

Pick two of those cards
and place them face down in front of you.

Now those two cards should represent
the two people in this room

who you feel could be your perfect match.

-That's crazy.
-Oh my gosh.

Jimmy was the first one to talk to me.

Chris was also really easy on the eyes.

So I'll take these, please.

-Oh, slay, Jimmy.
-Oh, that's not a good one.

[Alison] Wait. This one isn't…

Jimmy, what is this?

Now that everyone's made their decisions,

one by one, I'm gonna have each of you
stand here in the hot seat.

Then I'm gonna ask the rest of the table

who has this person
as one of their two cards.

Those people will then place that card

on the activity they'd like to see happen
with the person in the hot seat.

Make sense?

Who'd like to step into
the hot seat first?

Natalie?

-Sure.
-[Lachey] Yeah? Come on up.

-Being called to the throne.
-Let's go.

[Natalie] We're in Mexico, baby.

Weather's stunning. The beach is gorgeous.

The men, top tier.

And I'm ready
to meet my perfect match in paradise.

Gentlemen, who has Natalie's card
in front of you?

-I do.
-[Lachey] And Jimmy.

["Imma Course Meal" by Ava Vice playing]

Nick, which activity
would you like to see happen with Natalie?

-We'll go kiss. Here.
-[Lachey] And Jimmy?

-I'll go feed me.
-[Lachey] Feed me?

Ooh!

Brunette hair, olive skin.
Nat's definitely my type, absolutely.

[Lachey] Natalie, as our person of honor
in the hot seat, it's up to you.

What's up, Natalie?

-[Natalie] What's up?
-[Alison] Oh!

[Nick] Natalie's mad hot and cool.

Bada bing, bada boom.

I think I'll let Jimmy feed me.

-[all exclaiming]
-[Lachey] Jimmy…

All right.

-To the cabinet.
-[Natalie] What's gonna be in the cabinet?

[Nick] You know, I'm not stressing
too much about the outcome.

I have a pretty big reputation in Miami
when it comes to pulling girls.

[Lachey] What are we going with?
Oh, whipped cream.

Whipped cream and strawberry combo.

[all exclaiming]

The mount. Full mount. [laughs]

[Ally] Oh my.

-Oh, no.
-[Lachey] Oh boy. There we go.

Wow, I've never done that before.

[Yamen] Yeah, Jimmy.

[Natalie] The vibes with Jimmy
were very, like, playful, and it was good.

I'm definitely down
for the kissing sessions,

but not straight away.

It's more about, like, who's gonna be
lucky enough to kiss me, you know?

♪ I want to feel it, baby, on my tongue… ♪

All right.
Gentlemen, do I have any volunteers…

-[Marissa] Demari.
-…to be in the hot seat?

I'll be in the hot seat.

All right, ladies.

Who of you has Demari in front of you?
Let's see it.

[Marissa] Yay.

[Lachey] We got Marissa, Natalie,
and Alison. Marissa, we'll start with you.

Which action would you like to see happen
between you and Demari?

Wild card, please.

I'll also do wild card.

Could I just…

[Lachey] The trifecta.
The wild card trifecta.

[Jimmy] Let's go, Demari!

Demari is super hot.

All right, so lap dance, tease me,
and the last one is whisper to me.

[Alison] Feels like everybody wants him.

Honestly, you gotta go for it.
Closed mouths don't get fed.

[Alison chuckles]

[Lachey] You got some big decisions
to make here.

Which one would you like to do, Marissa?

I would like the whisper to me.

Let's do it.

[Lachey] Go ahead and take your place
in the activity area.

-[Demari] Get your whisper on.
-[Marissa] Who's whispering?

[Demari] You. Yeah, come on.

[Jimmy] Go, Demari!

[whispers] If you don't pick me,
then I'm gonna… f*cking k*ll you.

[Demari laughs]

Not sure what was said?

Ooh!

Standing, watching, smiling.

[laughter]

[Yamen] Yeah.

[Marissa laughing]

Okay, one more time.

I am a cancer, so a lot of feelings.

Woe is me.

I like that. All right.

She's glowing. Look at you glowing.

[Marissa] I do get butterflies
with Demari.

My body leaks.

Leaks or leaps? Which one? [laughs]

Well, it definitely leaks.
I'm telling you that. [chuckles]

[Lachey] All right, Alison, come on over.

Who has Alison's card?

[upbeat music playing]

Okay, so we have Demari with a kiss.

We got Nick with a body shot.

And Yamen with a dare.

Alison, definitely attractive.

Got some swag to her,
a little bit of drip.

I'm like, it's time for Papi
to get it cracking.

-[Alison] Okay.
-[Lachey] Alison?

I'll do the kiss.

-[Nick] Kiss.
-Okay.

[Alison] Mm-hm.

There may be people that are interested
in the same men that I am,

but I'm gonna have to just go for it
and take it if I can.

[upbeat music playing]

-[Yamen] Ooh!
-[Ally] Oh my God.

This is kiss meets make-out sesh.

[Ally] Yeah.

-Good.
-Yeah, it was good.

What I desire already belongs to me.

Is my lipstick messed up?

[Demari] Don't… Don't do that.

To be quite honest, I don't really see it
as too much of a competition.

Demari, you are mine.

Chris, you are now in the hot seat,
my friend. Come on up.

Which ladies have a Chris card
in front of them?

Ooh, this is a lot for Chris!

Oh, wow. Four cards, Chris.

We've got Natalie with a body shot,

Alison with a dare,

Mackenzie with a kiss,

and Ally with a dare.

I have faith in the universe.

Chris, he has an amazing body.

-I would love that.
-[bell chimes softly]

Please.

[Lachey] Tough choices, Chris.

Mackenzie, let's go for a kiss.

-[Marissa] Yes!
-[Lachey] Kiss? All right.

Chris, wrong choice,

but if I, like, have my eye on the prize
and, like, want something,

I'm gonna get it.

[clicks tongue]

-Let's do this. It's gonna be fun.
-Let's do it.

There's a lot of
good-looking single women in this house,

but Mackenzie has a presence to her.

She's got beautiful features.

[all exclaiming and cheering]

So I'm gonna have to show her
what we've got going on.

[chuckles]

[Marissa] Okay!

[Marissa cheering]

[Marissa laughing]

Well, I like to keep this pump going here.

Where are the dumbbells at?

I feel like I've seen this move before.

[all exclaiming]

[seductive music playing]

[Mackenzie] Chris isn't my normal
go-to type,

but it seems like he's very confident.

He knows what he wants,

and he's hot, so like that… that helps.

Crazy.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

Ugh…

I do have faith

that the universe brings you gifts
when you least expect it.

Uh, who's next? Ladies.

-Okay.
-[Lachey] All right.

Gentlemen, who has Ally?

[groovy music playing]

All right, Ally,
you've got Jimmy and Chris.

Yay! [chuckles]

I won't be too aggressive,
but I'd like a kiss.

-[all] Ooh.
-That's really cute. That's right.

-[Lachey] And Chris?
-Let's test this thing right off the bat.

[Jimmy] Double kiss.

-Yeah, let's do it.

I'm coming in aggressive.
I'm coming in fast.

Oh God, coming fast.

Cut that.

[laughing]

All right, pause.

I'm happy you chose me.

It's like a little bit of, uh, weight
off my shoulders.

-What if I didn't? Would you cry?
-I'd have been upset. It's a good feeling.

-I was like, "Wait, he's cute."
-Hey!

[both chuckling]

[Jimmy] Aw!

Okay, big question.

What's up?

I'm so scared to ask.

-What?
-Do you like cats?

-[cat meows]
-I do, yeah.

I had a cat growing up.

-Okay.
-And he was kind of mean.

-[Jimmy chuckles]
-That's why they're so fun though.

I have a litter robot.

It's a litter box that's a robot,
and it literally cleans it for you.

And it sounds crazy, but it is amazing.

Yeah, we don't have those
in North Carolina.

-Yeah, you do. I'll get you one.
-It's an LA thing.

My expectation of men are low right now.

I've done the bad boy,

and I feel like it's bored,
it's played out,

and I'm ready to bring back gentlemen.

Like, I want a nice guy.

-You're a Scorpio, which is my favorite.
-Scorpio.

I'm a Capricorn.

-Yeah.
-So we're ride or dies.

I broke up with someone once

because he talked too much
about, like, boy things,

and when I'd talk about astrology,
he would interrupt me.

I'm like, immediately no.

[chuckles] I don't want to call him out
because it's so obviously him.

Gotta slow down on the signs.
I don't know what they mean.

You got to teach me, you know?
So give me the scoop.

I'm a Capricorn.

So that means,
like, I'm the boss. [giggles]

And you're a Scorpio, and that means
you can match my energy, though,

which I think is good.

-Do you believe in it?
-Yeah. No…

-So I know mine.
-Will your family be like, she's a witch?

[both laugh]

-Yeah?
-No, no, they won't.

-I can't do judgmental.
-No, me neither.

-We're in the same boat.
-I always say that.

I hate judgy people.
I'm like, "Why are you judging?"

I mean, I understand a little, like, poke,
like jokes and poking fun.

Yeah, like, if someone's sweater's ugly,
we can only…

Yeah, something someone can't control
is where, like, I draw the line, you know?

Cute.

-Wait, so--
-Cute.

[Ally chuckles]

You have really good energy.

-You're adorable.
-Thank you.

Stop. Oh my God, you're making me nervous.

My exes would probably describe me
as someone that has eyes for other women.

When you made a comment
about AD and her body.

I'm not into AD at all.

But for anybody that thinks I'm a bad guy,

I just want to say I've put a ton of work
into myself the last year,

and I feel I'm in a better position
to show up better for my next person.

What's your story?

[Natalie] Been single for a while,

so I feel like I'm ready to jump
in the dating scene

if that's kinda where this takes me, but…

-All right. That's optimistic.
-Very optimistic.

Same boat. I like it.

Cheers.

I love a man who, like,
does what he says he's gonna do.

Hot take. Love to be love-bombed.

But, like, if you love-b*mb me for a month

and then you're just, like,
nowhere to be found, ugh, no.

-Where do you live again?
-[Nick] I live in Miami.

[Natalie] It sounds like
you have an accent a little.

I definitely do feel like
I'm a hot commodity in the house.

My options are open.

So let's not waste any time.
Let's get straight into it.

Is it rude to ask how old you are?

Um, I don't think I'm old enough yet
where it's rude, but I'm .

-That's what I figured, yeah. I just…
-I like that you prefaced though.

-Do you think I'm gonna lie to you?
-No, not at all.

-Yeah. How old are you?
-I'm .

-Okay. When's your birthday?
-March.

Pisces?

-Does that scare you?
-Uh-oh. No, I'm just kidding.

-I actually like--
-I get mixed f*cking… I get mixed reviews.

Some people are like,
"Oh, you're emotional and nice,"

and some people are like,
"You're crazy" or something.

-So what are you then?
-In between.

I want somebody to match my energy.

Maybe that's what's been getting me
in trouble these past couple years.

-[Natalie] This is funny.
-That was fun with you.

-[Natalie] I had fun with you too.
-You're smart and cool.

Living in Miami, I work in finance.

Our office looks like
a scene out of
Wolf of Wall Street.

A lot of money, good-looking dudes.

Do you think the shirt's too,
like, colorful?

No, I like it.
I feel like colorful's the vibe here.

[Nick] You're right.

It's a competitive space
when it comes to the birdies.

You kind of got to compete
or get left in the dust.

-Did you guys get ice?
-[Natalie] Not yet.

[Nick] Chris, how you doing?

-This is my Miami bro.
-Yes, sir.

-[Natalie] Are you from Miami?
-I was born and raised in Miami, yeah.

I'll be wearing tank tops
the rest of the time.

[Natalie] Okay.

I really like your style.
I was telling you earlier.

[Nick] I feel like there's gonna be

some guys trying to swing their dicks
everywhere they walk.

I'm not too stressed about it.

I'm bringing my water g*ns.
I'm ready to play.

Well, in Lebanon, we say
kasik
.
That's "cheers."

-Kasik.
-
Yeah.

For the most part, I've always ended up
with girls like Natalie.

She's beautiful.
She has big lips, nice eyes.

Naturally, you're intimidating a little.

Like, you're incredibly beautiful.
You know that.

And you walk with a presence.
It was like the place was your runway.

[chuckles] I like… I appreciate that.

-I'm definitely feeling it a little.
-Me too.

[Chris] I'm single
because I find myself love bombing.

Let's give an example.

[drum roll]

All right, all right. So one time,
I was on a date with a girl.

Literally, our first date.

Took her to dinner,

went on a yacht excursion,

and I bought her, like,
a $, Prada bag.

[classic orchestral music playing]

And then, a week later,
she started dating one of my best friends.

To this day, he thanks me
for buying her that Prada bag.

[chuckling] But, yeah.

-Let's sit in these chairs.
-Let's do that.

It's like, "Okay, calm down.
You just met her."

"Don't buy a Prada bag yet."
You know what I mean?

Kind of embarrassing, but, you know.

I am a relationship girly all day long.

Like, my grandparents literally met
at such a young age,

and all the way up until my grandpa died,
they were together.

So, like, traditional respect
in a relationship is so important.

That's the biggest thing.
I want everyone to feel respected by me.

You know? And in my day-to-day,

that's a big reason why I didn't get into
that normal dating scene anymore.

Because I was tired of being pressured
to do things that I didn't wanna do.

-It's exhausting.
-You know what I mean?

And, for me, I don't like the whole,

you have to test drive a car
before you buy it.

Sex is very important, but with time.

That was one of the biggest, like, change…
life-changing, like, directions

that I took in my life.

-Yeah.
-But it's also hard.

-I get it.
-Yeah.

You seem very genuine
from what I can tell.

I'm super appreciative to have
this opportunity to get to know you.

[chuckling]

-We're onto something.
-That's cool. Yeah, right?

Chris gives a vibe of wanting to leave
with a very serious relationship,

and that is what I'm looking for,
but I'm definitely out of my element.

There was nobody hot at
Squid Game
.
No one.

-Are you vibing?
-Yeah.

I think I wanna interrupt
people's conversations, but I'm nervous.

-[Mackenzie] No, you have to.
-Yeah.

I like to think I'm the life of the party.
I'm dancing. I'm having fun.

I'm flirting with boys.

If anyone's in a bad mood,
I'm like, "Get the f*ck up, let's go."

Yamen, wanna go to the couch there?

[Yamen] Yeah. This one?

-[Alison] This way?
-How tall are you?

-I'm '". How tall are you?
-Oh my goodness, I'm '".

-I could put you in my pocket, in my shoe.
-All the tall girls always…

Put me in your pocket?

If my exes were to say
anything negative about me,

I think they would say
I have a little princess mentality.

By the way, I love the fit,
the jewelry, the nails.

-Thank you.
-You did a good job on your makeup.

Open the car door, please.

And you know what? I love flowers.

I'm a girl. Duh.

So if you had to describe
your perfect guy, like, what's this?

I'm just curious. Trying to see what's up.

-No, it's the questions you should ask.
-I'm just asking.

Um, somebody that's really, like, direct
and, like, a go-getter.

If somebody is lazy,
I want absolutely nothing to do with them.

Someone that's willing
to protect and provide.

Someone that's determined
and, uh, has a good, strong sense of self.

-[Yamen] Okay.
-And emotional stability.

-Okay.
-[Alison] And then, um…

[Yamen]
Huh? Are these written down?

I'm gonna keep it real. It's… It's a lot.

I would like my partner
to have that same mindset.

[Yamen]
She's just a little picky.
There's nothing wrong with that.

I like a woman that knows what she wants.

-I'm just talking and talking.
-No, I'm listening. I'm listening.

[Yamen]
So now, extrapolate all that.

You know you gotta have standards.

People need to have more standards.
We ain't got enough.

I see people., I'm like,
"You ain't got no standards."

Don't lower your standards
if you're watching. Raise 'em.

You know what I mean?

-I just give the longest answer.
-Yeah, your answers are…

I'm a talker.

-It's okay.
-Yeah.

[Yamen laughs]

I feel it.
I just like a real confident woman.

It is something that I feel like
is rare to come across.

And I'm interested in you.

-Thank you.
-Yep.

-But she didn't put my card. I'm like…
-I'm sorry.

-I'm like, "Oh, she didn't put my card."
-I'm sorry.

-I'm like, "Oh sh*t."
-I am interested in you.

-No, you're good.
-That was a hard decision.

Yamen, he's really easy to talk to.

I'm feeling pretty comfortable around him
right off the bat,

but, you know, a girl's got eyes.

he's matching with me tonight.

I didn't like
when you made out with Alison.

-Alison.
-Because you know her.

Yeah, I've met her before.

She definitely looked attractive.
I think everybody was good.

[Marissa] Well, maybe don't make out
with them all.

-I like my woman to know what you want.
-Yeah.

-Appreciate that.
-Gotta know what you want.

Yeah, can't be out here willy-nilly
doing stuff.

It depends on what your goals are
at the end of the day, and…

What are yours? Like, what do you…?

Uh, I want a wife. I want kids.

I'm from the Midwest.
I want, like, the traditional family.

I'm talking farm head right now.

Oh, you're already doing

-Anyway.
-They'd be beautiful.

So, like, you sold here?

-Yeah. Kind of, yeah.
-Yeah?

I think you're very good-looking,
obviously.

-Yeah?
-Very sweet and, like, loving.

But I like personality over anything.

So, yeah, you're cute,

but let me tell you, if you were boring,
this wouldn't be a thing.

-Couldn't do it? Me either.
-I couldn't.

But I think you have a fun personality.

-Like, you get my jokes.
-I felt the chemistry here.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

I'm not sleeping with you, though.

-Whoa!
-No.

For sure.

Honestly? You just lied.

-I did lie.

[Alison] Oh, they're coming up here.
What do I say? I'm gonna grab him.

[Mackenzie] Just say,
"Hey, can I grab you for a chat fast?"

Can we turn around and you walk
right back over there to the beach?

[clicks tongue] How about that?

-Hi, guys. I was about to come grab you.

-You got aura. Don't know how to explain.

I think that he's very respectful.

When we were talking, it was so real.

I knew we were coming back
to talk to each other.

-Because everybody has their own agenda.
-I think there was just…

Everybody has priorities.
I think that our priorities are a little…

not to go too far too soon,

[Ally] Chris, he matched already.

That's rude.

Jimmy, I thought you liked him.

[Ally] Yeah, I liked him way more.

I'm pretty sure that Jimmy knows

that I'm very interested

a hot commodity. I mean, look at her.

Obviously, I don't wanna see him

[Demari] Um…

I had some good conversations today.
I won't lie. Um…

Me and her like the same guys.

-I don't care. Um…

"Hey, you actually have
no chance with him,"

but I was like, there's no way.

There's no way.

Demari's mine.

♪ Ooh-la-la la… ♪

I don't know who I'm gonna match with.

[Ally] Good morning.

We're ready for our first challenge.

Let's go!

[Demari kissing]

Awesome night, first of all.

We're the strongest couple here.
I know we're good.

Are you gonna remember
everything about me?

Yeah. You're from Washington.

-Nope. [laughs]
-You have a -year-old brother.

From Oregon.

[Nick] I know. I know.

If we don't win,
I'm gonna be mad. [laughs]

[upbeat music playing]

♪ It's now or never… ♪

-[Yamen] You got it? Yeah, come on.
-[Alison] I can't run in flip-flops.

What's up, guys? Come on in.

[Marissa] Ah!

What are we doing?

♪ Take my hand and let's go… ♪

-We're ready.
-What's happening?

This is why I keep my shirt on
during this show.

Now that you guys
are officially matched up,

I wanna welcome you to your first
compatibility challenge. All right?

-[Natalie] Yeah!
-[Nick] Let's go, baby.

[Lachey] This is gonna be a fun one.

It's a little game we're calling
Plug Your Holes.

-Plug Your Holes?
-[all] Oh!

Whoa! Whoa!

Hopefully you know something about that.

[Lachey] All right, guys,
this is how it's gonna work.

Each couple will fill into
one of the shower stalls here behind me.

When everyone's set and ready to go,

I'm gonna order the showers turned on
in all five stalls.

Now, the objective is pretty simple.

Be the first couple
to raise the water level in your stall

to the designated finish line.

In order to get your water level
to that finish line,

you are going to have to plug those holes.

Each stall has holes
of two different colors.

One of you will plug
the holes of one color.

The other of you, the other color.

-Make sense?
-We got this.

Occasionally, through the competition,
you'll hear me yell out, "Switch."

You can imagine at that point,

you switch which color hole
you are plugging.

[Nick] This is gonna be funny.

We already had a practice round,
so we're in it to win it, baby.

Except for, like, the pain
in my forearm and hip flexor

from pulling some crazy maneuvers.

The first couple to raise
their water level to that finish line

will win today's compatibility challenge

and head out on a romantic date tonight.

Now they will also get to visit
the boardroom

where they'll have the power

to bring brand-new
and potentially more-compatible singles

into the house.

I'm extremely competitive,
so I'm definitely going to give it my all

to win the challenge with Yamen.

Not here to play around.
I wanna get in that boardroom.

Who's ready to get wet?

[Marissa] You think my a*s can cover
two holes at once?

-This is gonna be really fun. I'm excited.
-[Nick] I know.

[both laugh]

I think that Marissa and Demari
are our biggest competition

because they were bonding
really quickly from the start,

but I'm ready to prove to everyone
that we are winners.

[Alison] Okay, are you ready to grab
the little hole? I'm getting ready.

[Jimmy] I'm looking at Yamen and Alison,

and I'm feeling a little pressure
to compete.

[Yamen] This is easy work.

But I do got big feet, big body parts.

Are you guys ready?

[all cheering]

Let's go!

[dramatic music playing]

Start the showers!

-[Alison squeals]
-Oh sh*t.

[Alison] Okay.

-Go! Go!
-[Yamen] Oh!

-[Natalie] I'm doing this.
-Plug those holes!

[Mackenzie] Oh my God!

[Lachey] Let's see this strategy play out.
I'm getting a lot of cheeks on glass.

[rock music playing]

Switch!

-[Jimmy] Switch.
-[Ally] Switch.

[Jimmy] Go here. Go here.

-[Marissa] Okay, I got it.
-I got it.

-Where's the other one? I don't know.
-[Yamen] You got to go here.

[Lachey] Oh boy, Chris and Mackenzie
are definitely going for
Twister
.

♪ Hey, here we go… ♪

Not sure Alison's plugging the hole
she thinks she's plugging.

Still got some good leaks going there.

Oh my God, it's hard to hold myself here
because I'm, like, floating.

[Lachey] Switch!

-[Nick] Switch.
-Okay, switch.

[Nick] You're good.

[Natalie chuckling]

-I can feel it leaking.
-[Nick] Hold tight.

Yeah, grab the little hole.
I kinda like this.

♪ In to win it ♪

♪ And I know you know this… ♪

We're just like winner's mentality.
We just refuse to lose.

Can you put your back on it or no?

[Marissa yelps]

Marissa! Oh my gosh.

But Demari brings all the goodies
to the yard.

[Lachey] Marissa and Demari
are in the lead.

Close behind, Natalie and Nick.

[Natalie] Wait, I forgot,
where'd my other one go? f*ck.

[Nick] Find it.

Ally and Jimmy are doing their best.

[Jimmy] Find the hole.

No! We're missing a big hole somewhere.

I can't find it. There it is. I got it.

[Ally] It's a lot harder than it looks.

Literally.

-[Ally laughing] Over here.
-I'm sorry.

[Ally] Work hard, play hard.

[chuckles] Stop.

Help.

[Lachey] Chris and Mackenzie,

Yamen and Alison,

definitely neck and neck.

[Mackenzie] No! You can't be under.

Little do we know, we're missing
the most important hole in the middle.

[Lachey] Oh boy, it's a new strategy.
You're gonna need a snorkel for that move.

[chuckles]

-[Mackenzie] You can't be under.
-No, I know.

[Yamen] f*ck. Okay.

-[Alison chuckles]
-Okay. Okay.

Look at the extension,

the flexibility.

I've got my a*s on this wall,
my hand on this wall.

-[Alison laughing]
-We're doing great. We're almost there.

We're all straddling each other.
What more could you want?

[Lachey] Yamen and Alison, you are close.

-[Yamen] Great job.
-Where's that one?

[Marissa] It's hard to plug holes here.

There you go.

[Lachey] Oh, here come Demari and Marissa.

-It's filling up!
-It's filling up. It's going!

I want to put my mouth on it so bad.

[Yamen] We're doing great.

-We are so close.
-I know.

Get in there.

[giggling] Come on.

Nick and Natalie have gone full-frontal.

[Natalie laughing]

[dramatic music playing]

[Lachey] Yamen and Alison,
still the team to beat,

but Nick and Natalie are getting close.

Come on, get up.

I'm just gonna touch and feel
my way to victory.

It's a lot of dudes' wet dream. [laughs]

[Lachey] Here comes Demari and Marissa.
It's coming down to the wire, folks.

We're right there.

We're almost there.

We're so close.

-[Demari] Stay there.
-I'm staying.

Please, blow the damn horn.

Who is it gonna be?

[groans]

[Jimmy grunting]

[Lachey] Making moves.

Demari and Marissa…

[drum roll]

You guys won.

[both cheering]

-Whoo!
-[Demari] Kick a*s.

Let's go.

-Oh.
-What?

They won.

[Alison] Of course they did.

Damn, we were right there with them too.

-Power couple!
-[Demari laughs]

Great job, you guys.

Losing sucks. It does suck.

[Natalie] Maybe we'll find ourselves
in the boardroom, but…

-We've got to keep plugging.
-Yep.

Marissa and Demari,

you guys are the winner
of today's compatibility challenge.

You two will head out
on a romantic date tonight,

and I will see you
in the boardroom tomorrow.

Great job, everybody. Well done.

We're winners. You know,
I pretty much saved the game, but we won.

[Marissa chuckles]

-I get no credit. Crazy.
-He gets all the credit.

He was very patient, very kind.
It was perfect.

Hey, we're going on a date.

It's always good
to be practicing plugging holes.

You never know when you'll get a hole
in your car, your boat, in a woman.

-You never know.
-[Demari chuckles]

-[Nick] That was fun, babe.
-That was fun.

I saw you, like, focusing.

I was really focused.

[Marissa] Cheers to being…

Perfect matches?

-Perfect matches.
-Hopefully.

-Oh okay. Never mind.
-Perfect matches?

-We're learning.
-[laughs] Yes, we're learning.

I'm feeling very excited
for some one-on-one time with Demari.

I mean, Demari's sexy body
is exciting me the most.

And obviously,
like, his biceps. [chuckles]

[gentle romantic music playing]

This is where we have our intimate moment.

[Demari] Mm-hmm. Would you like more?

[Marissa] Yeah, I'll pour us some.

I do get stuck
following a set of rules for myself,

because I feel like I've bounced
from relationship to relationship,

but I think the connection I have with D
is, like, confusing me,

so I'm excited to let go
in order to get deeper.

I want to get some of this brie.
I love brie. It's my favorite.

-I'm not a big cheese guy, honestly.
-Oh.

-[Demari] I'm lactose intolerant.
-[Marissa gasps]

Oh, yay! I can't wait to smell your farts.

I get to know every part of you.

-It's okay. You fart in your sleep too.
-No. I did not. Did I fart in my sleep?

-No. You snored though.
-I did snore.

Are you always in relationships?
Are you a relationship guy?

-Yeah, most of the time.
-Because you have kind eyes.

Yeah. What about you?

Yeah, just wanting to make sure
I do the right thing with this experience.

Like, I wanted to connect with someone
and obviously have a good time.

But coming out of this relationship
I was just in,

it's just been like a lot of unhappiness
for about a year and a half,

so I think that's my apprehension.

-I feel what you're saying.
-Yeah.

[Demari] But also, like,
I'm enjoying getting to know you,

so I wouldn't ever have a resistance
to getting to know you more outside.

Yeah.

[Demari] Day two. We still here. Let's go.

-Till tomorrow.
-[laughs]

Because we might bring someone in

and they might try to talk to one of us.

[Demari] Mmm.

Ooh.

Two days in, already got you jealous.

Okay, calm down. I'm not…
Okay, I'm actually not that jealous.

I'm just more like, don't touch him.

[music warps]

That… That's jealousy.

That… That's exactly what that is.

I just feel like there's
no one else better for you than me.

-[Marissa laughs]
-[Demari] Oh my God.

[laughs] I don't know
what's happening here right now.

I % feel more connected to Marissa now.

It's actually kinda weird
because this is only day two,

so I don't…
I don't know how I feel about that.

It's not… It's interesting.

I wasn't looking to come in here
and be this connected.

Especially this early.

Oh man, I'm about to look like I'm sick.

I just want us to choose each other
at the end of every night

if that's what we feel.

If you feel like that about me
after one day,

how do I know you won't feel like that
about somebody else after one day?

[Marissa] You don't.

[Lachey] Over here, we have Jimmy,
a very popular influencer and athlete.

[Jimmy S] I know I got swag.
'", athletic.

My flirting style varies
from person to person.

Like basketball,
you gotta start out aggressive.

Sometimes you gotta kick back,
let the game come to you.

[Lachey] Dave from
Married at First Sight Australia.

[Dave] I'm '", covered in tattoos.

I just want someone to connect with
and have fun.

[Lachey] And lastly, Kayla
from Season of
Too Hot to Handle.

-[blows raspberry]
-[Kayla laughs]

-I'm doing whatever you're down for.
-Welcome to the dark side.

Now, guys, listen very, very carefully
to what I'm about to say.

You have to decide on three new singles

to come to the house,

but you will not be sending
anyone on dates.

And tomorrow, they will decide
who they want to go on a date with.

-Oh!
-Wow.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Actually insane.

-This is wild.
-I don't know if I want the power anymore.

[exhales deeply]

I'm unwell.

Good luck. Super excited to see
what you all decide.

-[Marissa] Thank you.
-See you in a bit. Have fun.

-Okay.

Ah, sh*t.

-I need to breathe. Okay.
-[Demari chuckles]

-Okay.
-All right, we're here for a reason, so…

How are you feeling?
What are you thinking?

[Marissa] Let's make some people nervous.

We have slight threats
that are making their way on up.

[Demari] We gotta eliminate the threat.

-Yeah.
-Or at least test it.

-For sure.
-Let's do it.

All right, let's start with Dave.

-[Demari] I see Mackenzie for sure.
-Yeah, you're right.

I think she's into Chris,

but I don't know
if they have that longevity,

because I know that Chris
is not her normal type.

Um…

-What's her normal type?
-Like tattooed, spicy.

I think this guy kinda matches her vibe.

She seems really sweet.

-Very, like, good girl.
-Mm-hmm.

But I think she has a wild side to her.

I did see it though,
like when she was on the table with Chris.

-Like, it kind of made sense.
-Yes. It does.

I can see somebody
bringing that out of her.

-This'd be a good guy for her.
-I feel like Dave is gonna mix things up.

-I think so as well.
-For sure.

Should we lock in Dave?

-He's for sure. He's for sure.
-He's for sure.

♪ I'm making rules… ♪

-Let's lock Dave in.
-Whoa! Locked in.

-All right, do we wanna pick a girl next?
-Yeah.

-All right, we're gonna start with Kayla.
-Okay.

-[Demari] She used to date my boy Isaac.
-Oh!

-He was on
Too Hot to Handle
as well.
-Okay.

[Demari] She does like Black guys.

-[Marissa] Is she coming for you?
-She's going for Yamen.

[Marissa] Yamen. Okay, not you, Yamen.

I think she'll look great with Yamen.
There could be something intriguing here.

Agreed. Yamen and Alison,
I don't feel it. I don't see it.

I think you're right, and I think there's
a bit of an age difference with them.

I know that they enjoy their presence,
but I don't see the intrigue for them,

so I think I'd be really happy
to see her date someone else.

So, Yamen and Kayla.

And I think Kayla and Alison
are best friends.

[gasps] That would be interesting
considering that's her match.

-[Demari] Ooh.
-Okay, so let's bring Jimmy down.

-Influencer, Chicago.
-[Demari] Chicago, yeah.

I think he's here to mix it up.

I think he'd be fun.

-Yeah. I see Jimmy with a lot of people.
-[Marissa] I do too.

He has so much energy in here.

It would make
a really good match with Alison.

-She's a spicy girl.
-Yeah.

That's what makes her who she is.

And I think having someone fun
like that would be cool.

She also dated
a Harry Styles-looking m*therf*cker,

so she's a for sure for me.

-Ally, for sure.
-Mm-hm.

I know that she likes Jimmy,

but as far as strongness, connection,
I don't want it here.

-Biggest threat right now.
-Yes.

I could see this being good for Ally.
Mackenzie's an option too.

The tats are her vibe.

[exhales deeply]

-I think Jimmy might be the guy.
-But we can only pick three.

[Demari] And they're gonna be able
to pick their own date.

-The only for sure we have now is Dave.
-Okay. Yes.

-Last one.
-Last one we got.

[Marissa] Let's bring Bri.

-[Demari] Crazy. Let's do it.
-I love it. She's gorgeous. Look at her.

-Yeah, she is.
-Big personality, you can tell.

[Demari] She's a headhunter.
She's a fiery girl, man.

And, uh, I don't know
what that would look like.

♪ Hello, it's me… ♪

[Demari] When Bri and I were good,
we were amazing,

but our bad times were really hard.

They were really bad.

Let's not bring her in here

'cause you don't know
what can of worms you're opening up.

That's Pandora's box.

You don't know what's in there,
what's gonna come out.

You probably don't wanna bring your ex in.

Not really. I haven't spoken to her
since we last talked in about February,

but it's gonna be a lot.

She'll match in the house with someone,
do you think?

I do know her type,

so it'd be either me or Yamen, for sure.

Um…

I think it'd be fun to bring her in.

I like already what I see
and know about her.

Honestly, like, bare bones,
got a lot of blondes and brunettes around.

Like, I think it would be good.

That's gonna be my friend.

I don't know about that.
