01:12:06,447 --> 01:12:08,699
- With a lot of these women,
I'm shocked

1903
01:12:08,699 --> 01:12:10,701
how much I'm feeling
so quickly.

1904
01:12:10,701 --> 01:12:13,204
And I love that they are
opening up more and more.

1905
01:12:13,204 --> 01:12:15,039
- I find it very hard
to open up to people

1906
01:12:15,039 --> 01:12:16,707
and just, like, express
my feelings.

1907
01:12:16,707 --> 01:12:18,125
And I feel like I haven't had
an opportunity to tell you

1908
01:12:18,125 --> 01:12:20,044
how I feel about you.
- OK.

1909
01:12:20,044 --> 01:12:22,213
- So I just want
to let you know I like you.

1910
01:12:22,213 --> 01:12:23,965
- I appreciate it.
- And you have a lot of values

1911
01:12:23,965 --> 01:12:26,801
that I look for in a husband,
and yeah.

1912
01:12:26,801 --> 01:12:28,219
- Hi. May I interrupt?
- Hello.

1913
01:12:28,219 --> 01:12:29,345
- Yeah.

1914
01:12:29,345 --> 01:12:32,431
- I am very lucky
to be here in Malta,

1915
01:12:32,431 --> 01:12:34,934
sharing and creating
beautiful experiences

1916
01:12:34,934 --> 01:12:36,602
with each of these women.

1917
01:12:36,602 --> 01:12:37,854
Just a lucky guy.

1918
01:12:37,854 --> 01:12:39,272
So currently,
I just feel very grateful.

1919
01:12:39,272 --> 01:12:40,731
I'm so happy you're here.
- Yeah.

1920
01:12:40,731 --> 01:12:43,192
I feel like you make me feel
very, like, grounded.

1921
01:12:43,192 --> 01:12:45,570
And I feel like I can
open myself up to you.

1922
01:12:45,570 --> 01:12:47,822
- We're now at this point
that I feel like

1923
01:12:47,822 --> 01:12:49,407
we're finally starting to take

1924
01:12:49,407 --> 01:12:51,284
a little bit
of an upwards climb again.

1925
01:12:51,284 --> 01:12:54,370
I do feel like love
is not only possible,

1926
01:12:54,370 --> 01:12:56,205
but it might be
right around the corner.

1927
01:12:56,205 --> 01:12:57,748
- So I got you
a little something.

1928
01:12:57,748 --> 01:12:59,041
- OK.

1929
01:12:59,041 --> 01:13:01,460
I love presents and surprises.

1930
01:13:03,045 --> 01:13:06,048
Oh, got a little knight here.

1931
01:13:06,048 --> 01:13:07,133
- Yeah.

1932
01:13:07,133 --> 01:13:09,427
So the capital is Mdina here.

1933
01:13:09,427 --> 01:13:12,555
I did a little research,
and Mdina means

1934
01:13:12,555 --> 01:13:14,932
a city that is, like,
closed in by walls.

1935
01:13:14,932 --> 01:13:16,601
- Mm-hmm.

1936
01:13:16,601 --> 01:13:20,354
- Um, and so I wanted
to share this with you,

1937
01:13:20,354 --> 01:13:22,857
and I thought it would segue

1938
01:13:22,857 --> 01:13:24,775
into something I want to share.
- Mm-hmm.

1939
01:13:24,775 --> 01:13:28,321
- I think, like,
through this process,

1940
01:13:28,321 --> 01:13:29,822
it's been really difficult
just 'cause I have been

1941
01:13:29,822 --> 01:13:31,365
vulnerable in a lot of areas.

1942
01:13:31,365 --> 01:13:33,242
But like, if I'm being
all the way honest,

1943
01:13:33,242 --> 01:13:34,744
I don't know
that I've been, like,

1944
01:13:34,744 --> 01:13:36,746
the most vulnerable with you.
- Mm-hmm.

1945
01:13:36,746 --> 01:13:39,040
- I just feel like I have
a really hard time trusting,

1946
01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:40,958
because in high school,

1947
01:13:40,958 --> 01:13:43,252
something between
my parents happened

1948
01:13:43,252 --> 01:13:46,672
that ultimately led
to them getting a divorce

1949
01:13:46,672 --> 01:13:49,258
that I think really, like,
honestly, like, shattered

1950
01:13:49,258 --> 01:13:51,886
my trust in both of them,

1951
01:13:51,886 --> 01:13:55,181
but also just, like, in, like,
the concept of love.

1952
01:13:55,181 --> 01:13:57,224
- Mm-hmm.
- Um...

1953
01:13:57,224 --> 01:13:58,559
and so I just, like--

1954
01:13:58,559 --> 01:14:00,519
I do have a hard time
opening up.

1955
01:14:00,519 --> 01:14:03,272
- Mm-hmm.
- And I didn't want

1956
01:14:03,272 --> 01:14:04,440
to, like, potentially
leave here, like,

1957
01:14:04,440 --> 01:14:06,609
not sharing at least
a little piece of me.

1958
01:14:06,609 --> 01:14:10,655
- I appreciate it 100%
and wholeheartedly.

1959
01:14:10,655 --> 01:14:12,448
Trust is something
that's earned.

1960
01:14:12,448 --> 01:14:14,992
So I don't want you
to share things that don't

1961
01:14:14,992 --> 01:14:16,243
feel comfortable
for you to share.

1962
01:14:16,243 --> 01:14:17,662
- Mm-hmm.
- And I can tell

1963
01:14:17,662 --> 01:14:19,872
with just your tone and how
you're talking about it,

1964
01:14:19,872 --> 01:14:22,041
this is something that
is--is difficult for you.

1965
01:14:22,041 --> 01:14:24,043
And that's completely OK.

1966
01:14:24,043 --> 01:14:27,129
So I just appreciate you
sharing these things with me

1967
01:14:27,129 --> 01:14:29,340
and opening up
this side of you because it--

1968
01:14:29,340 --> 01:14:31,300
it definitely helps me
to understand

1969
01:14:31,300 --> 01:14:32,968
how I can make you feel
more comfortable

1970
01:14:32,968 --> 01:14:34,470
and how this can
continue to grow.

1971
01:14:34,470 --> 01:14:37,139
So I--I love
and I appreciate that.

1972
01:14:37,139 --> 01:14:38,391
- I feel good.

1973
01:14:38,391 --> 01:14:39,892
Tonight I opened up
about something

1974
01:14:39,892 --> 01:14:41,519
that was more vulnerable.

1975
01:14:41,519 --> 01:14:43,020
And I'm, like, happy
that he was

1976
01:14:43,020 --> 01:14:45,773
really sweet
and comforting about it all.

1977
01:14:45,773 --> 01:14:47,274
- I'm gonna be nice and close,
though, just in case,

1978
01:14:47,274 --> 01:14:48,275
but I got you.
- OK.

1979
01:14:48,275 --> 01:14:49,360
- Whenever you're ready.

1980
01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:52,154
Three, two, one.

1981
01:14:52,154 --> 01:14:53,781
I wasn't gonna let you go
too far back--

1982
01:14:53,781 --> 01:14:55,908
not in the heels,
not in the heels.

1983
01:14:55,908 --> 01:14:58,035
I appreciate you.

1984
01:14:58,035 --> 01:15:00,955
- And I think he really saw
firsthand that, like,

1985
01:15:00,955 --> 01:15:02,915
he did earn my vulnerability.

1986
01:15:02,915 --> 01:15:04,125
- It was good?
- Yeah.

1987
01:15:04,125 --> 01:15:05,459
- You said what you needed to?
- Yeah.

1988
01:15:05,459 --> 01:15:06,711
- You want to just leave
your drinks here?

1989
01:15:06,711 --> 01:15:08,504
- It was--yeah,
I feel like I was open.

1990
01:15:08,504 --> 01:15:09,964
Yeah.
- So now you get a drink.

1991
01:15:09,964 --> 01:15:11,632
- Yes.

1992
01:15:11,632 --> 01:15:13,426
It definitely made me
closer to him for sure.

1993
01:15:13,426 --> 01:15:16,012
And I'm so ready
to continue to grow myself

1994
01:15:16,012 --> 01:15:18,055
and to grow my relationship
with Joey.

1995
01:15:18,055 --> 01:15:19,265
- Give it to me.

1996
01:15:19,265 --> 01:15:20,391
- What is going on here?

1997
01:15:20,391 --> 01:15:21,642
[laughter]

1998
01:15:21,642 --> 01:15:23,060
- Guys, come on.

1999
01:15:23,060 --> 01:15:24,812
Everyone come in on this. Look.

2000
01:15:24,812 --> 01:15:26,313
- Now everybody comes in
on the sides.

2001
01:15:26,313 --> 01:15:27,815
- OK. I'm not doing it alone.

2002
01:15:27,815 --> 01:15:29,442
- Just do it.

2003
01:15:29,442 --> 01:15:31,277
- I have a perfectly great view
right here.

2004
01:15:31,277 --> 01:15:33,821
- [laughing]
Open up, little girl.

2005
01:15:33,821 --> 01:15:35,197
- Oh, that--
- Wait.

2006
01:15:35,197 --> 01:15:36,782
Even weirder--we're doing
the sausage thing now.

2007
01:15:36,782 --> 01:15:38,826
[laughter]

2008
01:15:38,826 --> 01:15:42,038
- Right now, no one cares
that Sydney went home.

2009
01:15:42,038 --> 01:15:44,623
I thought we would have been
a little bit more bummed.

2010
01:15:44,623 --> 01:15:46,834
- Yes!
- Oh. Nice.

2011
01:15:46,834 --> 01:15:48,294
- OK, who's next?

2012
01:15:48,294 --> 01:15:50,004
- They're all, like,
being nice to Maria.

2013
01:15:50,004 --> 01:15:52,256
You know, if I was Syd, like,

2014
01:15:52,256 --> 01:15:54,216
I would be really,
really disappointed,

2015
01:15:54,216 --> 01:15:55,217
especially, like, with Madina.

2016
01:15:55,217 --> 01:15:56,552
- So did you talk to Joey?

2017
01:15:56,552 --> 01:15:57,762
- Yeah.
- How'd it go?

2018
01:15:57,762 --> 01:15:59,054
- It went good.
- Good.

2019
01:15:59,054 --> 01:16:01,182
- Yeah. Thanks for asking.
- Of course.

2020
01:16:01,182 --> 01:16:03,309
- I want to hear more
about your date yesterday.

2021
01:16:03,309 --> 01:16:05,770
- I'm so frustrated
with how everything

2022
01:16:05,770 --> 01:16:08,230
went down with Madina and Syd.

2023
01:16:08,230 --> 01:16:09,857
It's frustrating
that one second,

2024
01:16:09,857 --> 01:16:12,359
she's, you know, Team Syd,

2025
01:16:12,359 --> 01:16:14,403
and the second Maria walks in,

2026
01:16:14,403 --> 01:16:16,906
she's voicing how
she's so happy for her.

2027
01:16:16,906 --> 01:16:18,741
- I'll be back.

2028
01:16:18,741 --> 01:16:20,409
[dramatic music]

2029
01:16:20,409 --> 01:16:21,994
- I just, like, want to, like,

2030
01:16:21,994 --> 01:16:23,621
bring some things
to the light.

2031
01:16:23,621 --> 01:16:25,581
I don't care if I need
to stand up and be brave.

2032
01:16:25,581 --> 01:16:27,291
I have a voice,
and I'm not afraid to use it.

2033
01:16:31,796 --> 01:16:32,838
- Sure.

2034
01:16:35,466 --> 01:16:36,675
- So every time, like,
I travel somewhere new,

2035
01:16:36,675 --> 01:16:39,303
regardless, like, where it is,
I like to get postcards.

2036
01:16:39,303 --> 01:16:42,723
And I like to write about
my experience on the back.

2037
01:16:42,723 --> 01:16:46,102
I couldn't, you know,
buy a postcard, so I made one.

2038
01:16:46,102 --> 01:16:48,145
[laughing] This is what I drew.

2039
01:16:48,145 --> 01:16:49,188
- It's us again.

2040
01:16:49,188 --> 01:16:50,689
- Yeah.
- It's the same one.

2041
01:16:50,689 --> 01:16:51,899
- It's the same one,
yeah, getting sausages.

2042
01:16:51,899 --> 01:16:52,900
- What's the butterflies?

2043
01:16:52,900 --> 01:16:55,110
- The butterflies is,

2044
01:16:55,110 --> 01:16:57,905
um, that you just
give me butterflies.

2045
01:16:57,905 --> 01:16:59,865
- I could have guessed that,
but I just wanted to hear it.

2046
01:16:59,865 --> 01:17:01,242
If I'm being honest,
I wanted to hear you say it.

2047
01:17:01,242 --> 01:17:02,535
- [laughing] Yeah.

2048
01:17:02,535 --> 01:17:03,994
I feel really confident.

2049
01:17:03,994 --> 01:17:05,621
I feel like Joey gave me
a lot of reassurance

2050
01:17:05,621 --> 01:17:08,249
and kind of like, you know,
boosted my confidence.

2051
01:17:08,249 --> 01:17:09,583
So I feel great.

2052
01:17:09,583 --> 01:17:10,751
I feel there's
definitely feelings.

2053
01:17:10,751 --> 01:17:12,419
Thank you. That's sweet.

2054
01:17:14,380 --> 01:17:15,965
- This is sweet.

2055
01:17:15,965 --> 01:17:18,384
- I'm feeling very positive
and very excited.

2056
01:17:18,384 --> 01:17:21,178
And I'm really hopeful
to get a rose.

2057
01:17:21,178 --> 01:17:23,055
But at the same time,
you know, it's like,

2058
01:17:23,055 --> 01:17:24,849
you never really know
what's gonna happen.

2059
01:17:26,016 --> 01:17:29,687
- Um, I just wanted
to, like, clear the air.

2060
01:17:29,687 --> 01:17:32,481
I just feel like, honestly,

2061
01:17:32,481 --> 01:17:37,987
I feel like Syd leaving
made a lot of things

2062
01:17:37,987 --> 01:17:39,822
a lot more real...
- Mm-hmm.

2063
01:17:39,822 --> 01:17:41,407
- And a lot more serious.

2064
01:17:41,407 --> 01:17:44,451
And I feel like I'm just,
like, honestly, like,

2065
01:17:44,451 --> 01:17:46,620
a little bit frustrated
and pretty confused about

2066
01:17:46,620 --> 01:17:51,959
how, like, you've navigated
this, because last night,

2067
01:17:51,959 --> 01:17:54,044
you called Syd, like,
one of your best friends.

2068
01:17:54,044 --> 01:17:55,796
And you were hoping
she was gonna come home.

if--that she was close

interacting with you.

- But why is that a bad thing?

you were best friends

And I've said that.

to a really high standard.

and stand on it.

2237
01:23:11,445 --> 01:23:12,446
- How we doing?

2238
01:23:12,446 --> 01:23:13,447
- [sighs] I'm good.

2239
01:23:13,447 --> 01:23:15,240
How are you?
- I'm doing good.

2240
01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:18,785
- [crying]

2241
01:23:18,785 --> 01:23:20,162
- Um, I think honestly, like,

2242
01:23:20,162 --> 01:23:21,496
if I'm being, like,
completely real,

2243
01:23:21,496 --> 01:23:24,208
a lot of us were shocked...
- Mm-hmm.

2244
01:23:24,208 --> 01:23:27,252
- Just because of, like,
the words that were said

2245
01:23:27,252 --> 01:23:29,254
and, like, how Maria
has treated some of us.

2246
01:23:29,254 --> 01:23:31,757
- Lea is upset that
other girls embrace me.

2247
01:23:31,757 --> 01:23:32,758
[bleep] this.

2248
01:23:32,758 --> 01:23:34,259
Like, I'm out.

They win.

2250
01:23:35,552 --> 01:23:37,429
- You know,
I--I absolutely trust, like,

2251
01:23:37,429 --> 01:23:40,432
your intuition and your
decision-making process.

2252
01:23:40,432 --> 01:23:41,558
- I just want to go home.

2253
01:23:41,558 --> 01:23:42,726
I hate this.

2254
01:23:42,726 --> 01:23:44,019
I don't care.

2255
01:23:44,019 --> 01:23:44,770
Give someone else my rose.

2256
01:23:44,770 --> 01:23:45,854
I really don't care.

2257
01:23:45,854 --> 01:23:47,022
I'll tell Joey right now.

2258
01:23:47,022 --> 01:23:48,232
I'm leaving.

2259
01:23:48,232 --> 01:23:49,775

2260
01:23:49,775 --> 01:23:53,570
and you know, yeah,
it is what it is.

2261

I might be falling
for someone.

01:24:25,394 --> 01:24:27,437

And I think Joey could
definitely be my husband.
