NARRATOR: Previously on "Love Island USA."
* You should let me love you *
A legend returns.
Hi, boys!
Oh, shit.
You were in Vegas, Mackenzie.
-Oh, I knew it. -She's blonde.
This is Mackenzie from last season.
-We need to go. -Go. Go. Go. Go.
-Are you feeling her? -I mean,
I told her I was open to get to know her.
NARRATOR: And lines were drawn.
I just want someone who is, like, down for me, honestly,
Who is, like, ride or die because I do know my worth.
So, did you pretty much give me an ultimatum last night?
Yeah. I'm over this shit.
I'm not doing a triangle.
I'm over the shapes, I just want a line.
You either know what's in front of you or you don't.
That's not my problem, you know?
***
NARRATOR: Tonight.
Let's go.
NARRATOR: The heat is on.
-Oh, shit. -Watch that heart rate, yo.
NARRATOR: And on.
And on.
Islanders, tonight there will be a recoupling.
The boys will pick and the girl not chosen
will be dumped from the island.
#TimeIsTicking, #LastCall.
[Love Island theme song playing]
* All eyes on me *
NARRATOR: Welcome to "Love Island USA."
Mackenzie has returned to the villa with one goal,
to find a love that will last until the end of time.
Or just until after the final week on Saturday.
She's romantic but also practical.
So, which boys have you been having your eye on in here?
-I mean-- -That you're like, "That kid,
"I would like to get to know them."
-I think-- -[cellphone chiming]
-Oh. -[gasps]
I got a text.
[Islanders screaming]
* All eyes on me *
No.
I can't dance.
* All eyes on me *
This game has been in my nightmares.
You know I can't dance.
You know I'm the whitest bitch here.
It's okay. It's okay.
So, the fact that we have to do a challenge
where we're getting people's heart rates up.
Like, I literally have been dreading this day.
* All eyes on me *
The only bit I don't want to hear,
is Timmy's heart rate going up for someone else.
I guess we're going to put on a show.
You know, the fellas, uh,
we are a little bit nervous about this.
You know, I don't know how good our stripper moves are.
But I guess the world will definitely soon find out.
* All eyes on me *
NARRATOR: Tonight's challenge sees the return
of Hearts On Fire.
First, the boys will wear heart rate monitors,
while the girls do sexy dances.
Then, the boys will do sexy dances,
while I go and put the kettle on.
The million dollar question is
who will set pulses racing the most?
Let's all breathe together.
Phoebe will put on a fucking show.
I know Nadjha will be crazy nice.
Oh, here they coming.
[breathing heavy]
* Free your mind *
[En Vogue's "Free Your Mind" playing]
Oh, shit.
-[cheering] -Go. Go. Go, Go.
Go Z.
* Buy things with cash *
* That really doesn't mean that all my credit's bad *
I just kept locking eyes with him.
And it was so sexy.
* Waste my time? *
* Because you really think the price is high *
The blood has definitely compiled
in a different, you know, location.
* I can't look without being watched, no *
Look at that.
Other than the arteries and the heart.
It was a lot. It was a lot.
* Free your mind and the rest will follow *
Zeta's lit, yo.
* Don't be so shallow *
Most fun thing you could ever do is have a bunch of boys
lined up watching you...
give a show.
* Free your mind and the rest will follow *
* Be color blind, don't be so shallow *
I'm buzzing, get me back out.
-Work it out, Zeta. -You did good shit, Zeta.
Zeta may be a nurse,
but I'm gonna need the doctor after that one, I swear to god.
Wow.
-Wow. -[chuckles]
Deborah.
[boys whooping]
* Got myself right in it again *
* Everything's so damn good when I'm with her *
Yeah, Deborah.
My gun.
[gun clicking]
* The gotta be gone the devil came out to play *
Hold my rope. Timmy.
Nice, gun.
[all laughing]
I don't know what I did. I blacked out.
I tried my best to dance. I don't know how to dance.
I channeled my inner Texas ho.
You're doing good. Killing it.
* Got myself right in again *
* Everything's so damn good when I'm with her *
* The preacher gotta clear my sins *
Oh, shit.
* Got me gone, she got me gone *
Yeah, seeing her walk out there
with that cowboy hat on, you know, it was real sexy.
* The devil came out to play *
She made me want to do some things to her, man, honestly.
God bless America.
* And I had to pay *
And I'm sorry mom and dad. And my brother. Like, oh.
Pow. Woohoo.
That was entertaining, man.
-That was actually really good. -That was funny as fuck.
Oh, my God.
-Deborah's funny as hell, bro. -What's next?
[Navos's "Believe Me" playing]
* Don't you think like that I will love you endlessly *
Oh, shit.
* Don't you think like that *
* I will love you endlessly *
Yeah, Mackenzie.
* If you only believe me *
* Don't you think like that *
* I will love you endlessly *
Whoa.
I gave it my best.
I mean, I got my own heart rate up.
* I will love you endlessly *
* If you only believe in me *
* Don't you feel like that *
I'm looking around, like, bro, like--
"What the fuck?" Like...
They really brought their shit today.
God damn, how can life get better?
Having a girl fucking plop on your lap.
* If you only believe in me *
-That was cute. -That's so hard. That's hard.
They are doing a good job man.
Ready, baby.
[MUSZETTE's "Boom" playing]
-Oh. -Courtney.
* Coming in hot, always on top *
Barbarian.
Oh. Courtney.
[Zeta cat calling]
Yes, Courtney!
[Zeta shrieking]
I'm playing to win.
I'm trying to make everybody's hearts explode.
* I can dish it right back now *
* So I do what I got to do *
* Girl make it go boom *
[girls screaming]
Sheesh! She working with something.
Like, she doing-- she doing what she can do,
she's being resourceful, I like that.
[girls screaming]
-Okay. -Wow.
Wow.
Man, I hope my heart rate isn't going too sky high.
I don't want to hurt any of my guys over here.
-Yes. Courtney. -Courtney.
I liked that a lot.
I'm not going to lie.

Oh, my god, she put a finger in her mouth.
[screaming]
What?
* Work hard in the sheets *
* We could stay here for a week *
* No need to go to work *
I was in a little bit of a triangle there
with Courtney and Chad.
But, I still want to show Chad my little spicy side
and make him forget about Courtney for a little bit.
Oh, my God.
Somehow, the angel's even more dark
and twisted than the devil.
So, I like these angels.
* At the bottom we'll be loungin' in the juice *
[Love Island theme song playing]
[Salt-N-Pepa feat. En Vogue's "Whatta Man" playing]
NARRATOR: Welcome back to "Love Island USA."
The girls are finished strutting their stuff
and now, it's the boys turn.
They will perform several dance styles.
Although sadly, there won't be any ballroom.
The shorts are just too tight.
* What a man what a man, what a man *
* What a mighty good man, gotta say it again now *
At first I thought he might have been a baby.
But I guess he was a captain.
Uncle Jesse.

[girls cheering]
Okay, Jesse.
* I wanna take a minute or two and give much respect due *

-Where's me gold? -I don't know.

[Love Island theme song playing]
***
NARRATOR: Welcome back to "Love Island USA."
Cheerleader Mackenzie got Jeff's heart racing
more than Nadjha's demon dance.
I thought Nadjha's was way sexier.
But hey, I'm just playing devil's advocate.
You're welcome.
What'd you think?
About what?
She didn't even touch me, bro.
Do you want to get to know Mackenzie?
I don't really want to ruin that with you or anybody else, so--
If she pulled me for a chat,
I'd tell her like, "I'm in a good place with Nadjha."
I'm definitely not phased by Mackenzie.
I'm Team Nadjha, man. I told her, man.
I'm just 100% about her.
And you know, I'm going to shut that shit down.
And I expect her to do the same if somebody came in.
You know what I mean, so.
I just really, really do like you a lot.
There is really like not anybody that could come in here,
that could make me feel the way you've made me feel.
Nobody ever made me feel the way you make me feel, for real.
I think, like, every day I'm here
I just, like, kinda fall more and more, like, for him.
So of course, I don't want him to go anywhere.
NARRATOR: Ladies and gentlemen,
"Love Island USA” is proud to present
the single, most ridiculous question
in the history of television.
Zeta, take it away.
How do you feel about Chad getting Phoebe?
-I mean, I don't blame him. -[laughing]
-She looked hot as fuck. -She did.
Does it make you feel any type of way?
[sneers] I don't know.
I feel like he...
isn't ready for like what I'm ready for too.
Yeah.
I'm just trying to navigate Chad and I,
because, like, I feel like he's having
a little bit of a hard time.
So, if he decides to be like exclusive with me,
then I would wanna like pursue that.
There's just these signs that I'm seeing
that he can't handle me.
And he's chatting with Phoebe.
Oh, fuck!
I think she's just not getting
the same energy
that she's putting into it with Chad.
So it's hard to see her have,
you know, a bit of a tougher journey in here.
It was you who was ringed by Joel?
Yeah, Joel and I ringed each other.
Did he-- did-- did you feel like when you seen him?
-Yeah. -Yeah.
[laughing]
Yeah, you did a very good job.
-I got your heart racing? -[laughing]
You did. I'm not even kidding. It was just hot as fuck.
Uh-huh. Thanks.
I can't deny that.
Like I have attraction towards you and--
Like, I feel like we do have like a natural connection--
-Yeah, we do. -When we talk and shit.
Just because of me and Courtney's situation,
you know, I'm like, moving in with that.
But me and Phoebe, we understand that, you know,
we do have like an attraction.
How do you feel though with you and Courtney?
She's starting to kind of just, I think understand,
like I would just be...
present with the experience.
-Does that make sense at all? -Yeah.
Yeah.
He is a lovely guy.
We have a connection and I am ready
for like someone to just sweep me off my feet
and just like be my knight in shining armor.
Like that is like something I'm ready for.
I do feel like if you and I had time
we probably would've been very strong together.
[Love Island theme song]
You know, uh, during the challenge,
you know, we all had to come out of our comfort zone
-a little bit-- -I just knew you had
a fetish for red heads.
Oh my gosh! Deb, I knew you were gonna say that.
-No I don’t. -I just knew it.
It's a fluke, you know?
It's a fucking fluke and I'm sorry.
-I don't care. -[laughing]
Well, hopefully, uh,
your parents don't see that.
Mr. and Mrs. Chubb, you know?
Yeah. Hopefully they fast forward.
Yeah, hopefully just fast forward that.
You know, I just got caught in the moment, man.
It was so hot.
Syd had raised my heart rate the most,
but seeing Deb there with that
cowboy hat on was real sexy, man.
She strutted that thing real good, man.
I'm just like, "Ugh!”
You know, I can't wait to go cuddle her in bed.
I think the cowgirl look fits you pretty damn good.
Honestly.
NARRATOR: With Hearts On Fire over for another year,
the Islanders can head to bed
and I can get my sexy nurse's outfit back from Zeta.
[Friends at the Falls's "You Don't Have To Be Alone”]
* He said he’s leaving town *
-Do you hate me? -Yeah.
-Why? -I'm just kidding.
Why would I hate you?
* Long drive don't think about it *
Y’all, I really like Jeff.
Were you buzzing seeing him today?
Oh my God! Yes.
* She wants to cash out *
-Did you talk to Chad? -Chad? Yeah.
And this is not me like throwing myself a pity party.
It's like, I've been through so much.
Why would I wanna be a second? I'm not a second option girl!
* Take your time *
* Talk it over with your girlfriends *
How did Chad and Phoebe’s chat go?
I mean, it sucks ‘cause she's after my man, but whatever.
It's still so weird that she's back.
I was just happy ‘cause she's like,
"I'm not into Isaiah.”
I was like, "Woo! That's a first.”
I'm gonna keep this..
* Lonely nights and they all prove difficult *
* And before you go I think you should know *
* That this night won't be our last *
-Do you hate me? -Yeah.
-Really? -Yeah.
-Why? -I'm just kidding.
I didn’t really sleep last night.
-Yeah. I know. -Fuck that day bed.
I'll be sleeping like a queen in here.
Good night.
You're crazy.
Holy fucking guacamole bro.
Come in. [shivering]
* I look back again I couldn't help myself *
NARRATOR: Bunking up right now are
Deb and Jesse, Jeff and Nadjha,
Zeta and Timmy,
Courtney and Chad,
Phoebe, new, old girl Mackenzie,
Joel, Sydney and Isaiah.
[Love Island theme song]
NARRATOR: Welcome back to "Love Island USA."
As ever, the Islanders are waking up to the bloody racket
made by the army of drones
I have filming stuff for me to talk over
when we come back from the ad break.
* I don’t want to change the world *
* I just want to be myself *
* I don't count dollar signs *
* Spread it out then I share the wealth *
-Good morning. -Morning.
I’m like super blind.
-You're like super blind? -Yeah.
-You wouldn’t. -[giggling]
* I’ve been overthinking *
* All my life *
* No more wasting of my precious time *
What meal do you usually make?
I have four eggs, and I sat up in the morning
and I do that with a tilt.
-With a tilt? -Yeah.
-What does that mean? -Things I Like Together.
[laughing]
Oh! An acronym.
Yeah.
-Straight into the pool. -Good way to wake up.
Whoa!
* I feel alive, I feel alive *
* I feel alive for the first time *
I know, and this is a move though that I know--
-It's an easy move. -[laughing]
Come on, I'm just coming out bro
so I got on your shirt, bro, bro.
Give me my shirt. Get off my shirt.
-Come on. -Get off my shirt.
You’re a fucking dick head, bro.
* I’m feeling alive *
* For the first time *
My butt is jiggling way more than usual.
-Yes. You have the-- -It still look firm as fuck.
Thanks.
Oh, you look so pretty in this.
I know it does.
Courtney?
[laughing]
Courtney, Courtney, Courtney, what's wrong?
5After talking to Chad like about
being exclusive and stuff, like, it feels really forced.
It’s like, "Ugh, God!”
Like I just feel like I'm not being, like my--
The best version of myself with him
and like that's not what should be happening.
You're feeling slightly not insecure,
but like insecure in the relationship--
-Yeah. -Because he is,
I think, insecure in the relationship.
Like I think he knows what he has
and I think he doesn't know how to handle that
-Yeah, I think so too. -and he doesn't know
how to handle his emotions.
-[sighs] -I don't know.
Like I do wanna see, like, what he says maybe.
-I don't know, you know? -Who knows?
I mean, this might be, like, a little wake up call for him
and he might realize, like, "Wait, fuck!
-"I might've--" -But do you know?
It's just so funny when that boy figures out
how big of a bag he fumbled.
-Yeah. -Imagine fumbling Courtney.
-Oh my gosh! -I would hate my life.
That ain't nice, is it?
-It would be so sad. -[laughing]
I would need years of therapy.
-[laughing] -Literally.
-Years of therapy. -I'd have to move countries.
Thanks.
Come, I’m right here babe.
-Yeah. You are here. -[laughing]
You got this. I'm proud of you.
I just felt like we were on different pages
because like he told me he was interested in
getting to know Mackenzie and Phoebe.
So, I wanna go find Chad
and get on the same page finally.
Should I come back?
-I was right here. -Are you sure?
-I'm like, "Uh!” -I was just finishing.
-It’s my last two breaths. -Okay.
Your dance yesterday was so funny.
-Did you like my sword action? -Yeah.
[laughing]
I'm so tired.
-[giggling] -Um...
so, um...
I just feel like we are...
um...
I don't know how to do this not awkwardly honestly.
-[laughing] -Yeah.
-I just-- -I'm very awkward.
Strange situation.
-Uh-huh. -It's so hard. Like.
-Yeah. -Shit's weird.
How are you feeling about this?
I just feel like we are on different pages...
as much...
as I don't wanna be.
Maybe like a little bit.
[Abir's" Last Lap”]
* If we're drifting off the edge *
* Would you lean in? *
Pull yourself together,
but I don't wanna like
stop you
getting to know other people.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
* Becoming everything we said we wouldn't *
So, what should we do?
Obviously I don't want to be fucking friend-zoned,
but I'm now, like, open to seeing
where something could go with y’all.
Like I'll have another conversation with Mackenzie
to just get to know her.
-I get it. -Does that make sense?
Yeah, I'm not mad at you.
She's a bad bitch.
Yeah, I don't think you are mad anymore.
I'm just-- I'm just being a dick.
Yeah.
I think it's just too--
maybe too early for him
to like want the same things as me.
I need him to go hurt people that aren't me
so I wanna keep things open moving forward.
* In the past *
* Have we lost the grip *
* And fallen off the tracks? *
Me and Courtney, you know, we'll be open
to getting to other people, but also...
understanding that, you know, we do still like,
like each other.
So I'm glad that she's open
with being like more chill about the situation.
* If I told you not to leave *
* Could you fix it?
* Maybe saying what we mean *
* Would make a difference *
* Holding in, but we should breathe *

NARRATOR: Welcome back to "Love Island USA."
-[giggling] -Sit your ass down.
-Yeah. -What the fuck happened?
Nothing, we actually finally got some fucking--
-Clarity? -Clarity and some shit.
-Yeah. -Talk-- let's talk about it.
You know how she was just pretty much, just wanted me
to give like full on like exclusivity.
-Uh-huh. -Huh!
Now, it's like, we can like be open.
You know, we still understand that we like each other,
but still like, you know, give other people--
-Right. Okay. -Like time of the day.
Without having someone watching you
and like wondering, like, "Oh my God,
"am I hurting someone's feelings, am I doing this?”
And I can probably now be a little bit more immersed
and open to just the overall experience to just be free.
So, that's good.
Joel, do you wanna go for a chat?
Yeah. Yeah, let's do it.
Okay.
NARRATOR: Courtney's having a chat with Joel.
Oh, don't blame her.
That man is so sexy
even the tree can't keep his hands off him.
I wanna get to know you more.
-Yeah? Okay. -Uh-huh.
‘Cause I feel like we are looking for, like,
similar, like, things in our partners.
Yeah, I definitely...
want something long term.
-You know, I'm-- -You do?
I'm dating for marriage and,
um, I really want to-- to find, you know,
my future wife and, you know,
hopefully I can find that here.
What exactly do you look for in your partner?
Like someone who's like, also, like, really driven
and, like, passionate to just, like,
do better and, like, you know, go somewhere in life.
Yeah, well I think I tick a lot of those boxes.
Joel's obviously like really hot.
I like that he has his shit together like I do,
and that he's looking for something serious.
I don't know if I'm ready for marriage,
but I am looking for something serious.
Would you be open for long distance?
Like I have my house in Massachusetts,
that's-- that's where my shop is
that I work at, you know?
Um, and so I would hope that my partner one day
would also wanna move out there with me.
So, I don't know if you'd be open to living in Massachusetts.
I've never been there, so I'm not sure.
-[laughing] -I don't know.
How do you like the cold?
-Oh! -Mm!
-[laughing] -Yeah. I don't know.
I really like Courtney. I think she's super cool.
But, we're still trying to feel each other out
and I don't know if, uh, that spark is gonna grow or not,
but, I'm certainly willing to explore
and give it a shot.
I mean, I am a space heater, but, you know
As long as I'm there, you can use me as a heater.
-Okay. Fine. -[laughing]
[Love Island theme song]
Um, I didn't even get to tell you.
I freaking loved your routine.
You liked it? That’s hot.
Obviously you got my heart racing.
I was like that to me is sexier
than like a guy who's, like, trying to be really sexy.
Like trying to actually like put his balls in everyone's face--
-Yeah. -And yeah.
Well, I'm glad you found that attractive.
-Like, I need the goofball. -Yeah.
Like I'm a goofball as well, like.
But, yeah, how was your chat with Courtney this morning?
She kinda wanted more, like, all or nothing with that.
Like, it's either exclusivity or like,
just don't even look at me in a romantic way.
Yeah.
Sometimes, you just know right away
that you're just not gonna be--
-Yeah. -Compatible with somebody.
No, I understand that for sure.
I only have an interest in Chad right now.
I enjoy being around him.
So, the fact that he's even open
to getting to know me, I think says a lot.
So, we'll see where it goes.
I feel like you're definitely someone
who can just go and like not worry about like,
"Oh, do I look sexy or not?”
And just like, actually just
"Do I have a good ass time", you know?
-Yeah. -Which is dope.
-That's very dope. -Thank you.
[Que Derry's "Manifest”]
* All the faith that I have in you *
* Makes me wonder where you’ve been *
* My whole life *
I definitely enjoyed Mackenzie and everything.
There's definitely like a strong like attraction
and connection there.
But, you know, what made me not really like
go too strong and that was Courtney.
So, I don't really know.
I might be in a pickle here.
I got, like, some good rest last night.
I feel like I didn't sleep like that long, but I slept hard.
Which one would you rather do? Hard or long?
[laughing]
-Nice. -I did not mean it like that.
Nice. I'm just kidding. Definitely kidding.
* Did I manifest you *
* Did you manifest me *
* I wanna know, yeah, yeah *
NARRATOR: After chatting with Courtney,
there's something Joel wants to get off his chest.
NARRATOR: That stubble gonna take at least three hours
and a vat of wax, mate.
You should have done it before you got here, silly.
I'm just trying to, you know, figure things out right now.
-Yeah. -Um--
[laughing]
So, I had like one conversation with Courtney.
I mean, it-- it was really good
and like I was like really surprised by her answers.
Like she's, you know, like way more like adventurous
and outgoing than-- than I expected.
Than you think. Yeah.
She definitely gives down girl vibes, so.
Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.
But, you know, I still have to talk to Phoebe.
She was, you know, my number two behind Bella.
Phoebe, you know, we shared a little kiss last night
during the-- during the dance.
You know, I definitely think there could be
a spark there, a connection there.
Definitely, I just wanna like chat with her and to see
if I can't figure that out and figure out what I'm feeling.
Um, and then same thing with Court.
You are in a fucking triple pickle.
-[laughing] -Yeah.
Um, so you're just between Phoebe and Court now.
Yeah, for sure.
NARRATOR: At the end of another eventful day,
Courtney wishes she had a loyal man,
Phoebe wishes she had more options
and Timmy wishes he had a basketball.
-Hey, trash man. Trash. -Here, buddy.
Especially with Zeta on that hip? Huh!
-I will shake you bro. -Bro.
[Sam Feldt's "Post Malone”]
* One more dance at this afterparty *
* We still going, going strong (Going, going strong) *
Chad, has your name always been Chad?
-Unfortunately. -[laughing].
-Chad sucks. -[laughing]
I’ve also just talked to Chad.
I made it pretty clear I'm only really interested
in seeing where that connection goes.
Are you gonna talk to Joel more you think tonight, Court?
Yeah.
* Tonight, we go all night long *
* We party like Post Malone *
* Don't tell me to go-o-o *
* Yeah, we are never ever going home, tonight *
That was good, Deb.
Yeah, I love that.
* Ain't nobody kill my vibe *
* Don't tell me to go-o-o *
* Yeah, we are never, ever *
Jeff sucked too, bro. I ain't gon' cap.
-[laughing] -Who the fuck is Jeff?
* Never going home *
* Yeah, we are never ever going home *
Hopefully, I'm better at toasts than strip teases.
Here's to a good time, not a long time.
[cheering]
* We are never ever going home *
-[phone beeps] -[inhales deeply]
I have a text!
[cheering and clapping]
-Yeah. -I'm scared.
* It was fun while it lasted *
* But it's time that we fall apart *
* We fall apart We, we, we fall apart *
[Love Island theme song]
-Hey. -Hi.
-Wanna go first? -Let's do it.
Hopefully I'll keep [indistinct].
-Zeta-- -How are you feeling?
I'm feeling fine.
NARRATOR: Welcome back to "Love Island USA."
The Islanders have just learned about
tonight's surprise recoupling.
The boys will pick and one girl will be dumped.
Phoebe's prepared a half hour presentation
on why she should stay,
but unfortunately, she's only got
five minutes to deliver it.
Phoebe, go, go, go!
You're very similar to me in the way that like,
I'm like a slow burner.
I don't like just like form like a--
Spark and want a date, like right away.
I like to have that like forming the relationship
and just seeing like where it can grow.
Do you have any chapstick by any chance?
-No, you wanna kiss? -That would be nice, huh?
[Zoe Wees's "Control”]
* 'Cause I can't express how thankful I am *
This recoupling tonight is huge.
It will show me if someone really
wants to pursue me.
I want to find a connection,
but I may not be here after tonight.
* I don't wanna lose control *
I feel like it could go so many ways.
We don't know where Chad's head is at, or Joel.
Yeah. I'm like falling for Nadjha.
-She likes you a lot. -She likes you a lot.
-Does she? -Mm-hmm.
Joel is just a wildcard right now.
I just feel like we can like
have a nice connection together.
Yeah. I feel that.
I don't know if you feel the same.
You know, I'm-- I'm really just trying to
feel things out and figure things out for myself--
Yeah. Me too.
You're like a really amazing person, you know?
So are you!
Obviously I haven't gotten to know you like too much
but I wanna start if you're down.
-Yeah. -I'm nervous.
I haven't had what I've wanted out of a connection.
I do wanna stay here.
I just know that whatever's meant to happen, will happen.
Obviously, I have a crucial decision to make.
‘Cause I think that I am just anxious to get to know you.
I know that I wanna get to know you specifically better.
I don't know that like if you were to choose Phoebe,
that if new guys came in, that,
you know, that she'd pick you over them.
I am confident that I probably would.
Next night, it's a recoupling.
Like 24 hours later.
Like I had a conversation with Chad.
I put it out there, but it's like,
you can't really be like having fun
and getting to know someone
when, like, on the night of recoupling.
It's so tense.
-Like-- -[sighs]
We've come a long way in six days.
I'm more than happy...
that my heart lead me to you Syd.
* That you were always with me when it hurts *
* I know that you'd understand *
Obviously things move very, very fucking quickly here.
Yeah.
I'm definitely interested.
Fuck! No pressure on me tonight.
I'm really trying to like
see where my heart feels on
as far as like what I want to pursue further,
I've done all the talking that I need to do
and have all the conversations I need to have.
* I don't wanna lose control *
I have a pretty good feeling of who I'm gonna go with
and I’m feeling ready for my first recoupling.
Just weighing out my, uh, options and uh,
you know, just seeing, you know, what's up with it and uh...
seeing how I'm gonna, you know, go about everything.
Shit is definitely, you know, hitting the fan.
I know for you, you had a tough day.
But this is a big decision.
And, you know, I have some pressure on me.
Like I definitely enjoyed Mackenzie and everything.
And Phoebe, obviously, me and her connect quite well,
but I feel like more of a pull towards Courtney.
What we have is stronger.
I’m not too sure who I'm gonna couple up with.
* I don't wanna lose control *
* Nothing I can do anymore *
* Tryin' every day when I hold my breath *
* Spinnin' out in space pressing on my chest *
* I don't wanna lose control *
NARRATOR: Tomorrow night...
one girl's search for love...
comes to an end.
