That's right. Vanessa and I are here in beautiful Seattle, Washington.
[Vanessa] Five couples got engaged and fell in love sight unseen.
One of those relationships seems to not have worked out.
[Irina] If in some crazy life, weeks from now, Zack is in my mind,
and I can't stop thinking about him, I'm gonna reach out and do something.
Maybe it'll be too late. Maybe he already moved on.
But I couldn't get over the uncomfortable feeling I felt with him physically.
[Tiffany] Look at this!
- This is nice. - [Marshall] Oh, let's go.
[Nick] The getaways are over,
and now our couples are about to enter the most intense phase of this experiment.
[Vanessa] They have their devices back and headed home,
where they're gonna be living together in a new shared apartment.
- All right. - [Micah] Wow!
You're gonna take your shoes off.
[Tiffany] This will be my side.
- And all of that will be yours. - [Brett] Yeah.
'Cause you're so flashy, you know. I'll brush your shoulders off real quick.
Oh! Oh! Oh! You cute. [laughs]
Will age, race, looks, family, even financial circumstances matter?
Ma'am, you have your shoes on in our bed.
- Come on now. - I'm sorry.
[Vanessa] How will they integrate their lives, their careers, their homes?
- [Jackelina] I clean four times a week. - Four times a week? Okay.
- I think it's important to be clean. - Absolutely.
And I think that's come from, like, me being in dentistry.
- Everything has to be clean. - Yeah.
Now they are just three weeks away from the altar
and the most important decision of their lives.
How often do you think you're gonna work from home?
Because I'm gonna be working from home, like, 100% of the time.
- I think 75% of the time. - Mm-hmm.
- We can do it. - We're not gonna get much done, I feel.
We're both gonna get fired in the first week. [laughs]

Horrible. She treated me like shit.
We're sleeping on the opposite sides of the bed.
We don't touch. Zero affection.
- I was over her on day two. [laughs] - [Bliss] Mm-hmm.
- You know what I thought when in Mexico? - Hmm.
You were the girl that I was looking for.
- That's, like, so annoying though. - It's fucked up to say.
- [Bliss] Very annoying to hear. - I know. I'm just telling you the truth.
I knew, like, when I told you no, like, as I walked out the door,
that I fucked up.
Like, I knew it, and it was too late.
You proposed to her, Zack.
I did, because I still loved her.
But that's not a reason--
There's more than just one person for people.
I don't know. It makes me, like, question you a little bit.
I got what I deserved, for sure. [chuckles]
- [Bliss] I mean... - I made a bad choice.
You know, you actually, like, put in all this effort with the cupcakes.
- Don't remind me. I literally-- [laughs] - I know.

But it showed your character.
Her character was pretty revealed through, like--
Like, she forgot my birthday.

This is just such a weird scenario.
- Weird situation. - No, I know it is.
- We've never seen each other before. - You never even had to see my face.
Right, so I was like, "He may not even be cute. Like, who cares?" [laughs]

- This makes it easier. - [Zack] Way easier.
I'm just kidding. I think you thought I was, like, some, like--

I just kind of, like, imagined you...
Which is, by the way, my type, is like...
kind of a little bit more nerdy.
Yeah, I mean, I am nerdy. I just don't look like a nerd. [laughs]
Which is fine, but I think I sound like a nerd.
Like, my voice, you know.
Yeah, yeah, your voice does not match your body.
[chuckles] It doesn't, really?
Why? Is it just, like, weird connecting my face to my voice?
I just like looking at your eyes.
- Yeah, you have really beautiful eyes. - Thanks. [laughs]
You have pretty eyes too.
[chuckles] But I also don't wanna give you any compliments right now, so...
Do you find my eye contact to be too much?
- No, why? - That's good.
- Am I looking away? - No, we just--
I think I tend to kinda, like, look around.
I tend to maintain really strong eye contact.
- I love good eye contact. - That was the first thing Irina said.
You maintain too much eye contact? [laughs]
She's like, "You don't blink very much." I'm like, "Fuck you."
- [laughing] - I'm like...
- [Bliss] That's funny. - [laughs]
Your brain works very similar to mine.
We have similar types of weirdness, actually.
Like, the coincidences,
the things we talked about, the songs... the owl.
- Pretty freaky. - Yeah, it was.
[laughs] I guess I also, like, didn't expect anything coming into this.
I didn't expect to have any sort of, like, true feelings,
and also my logical side is like,
"How can anyone have these types of feelings in that short a time?"
Did it surprise you when it did?
- [Bliss] Um, yeah, yeah, it did. - Me too.
And I feel like no one will understand it, and that's such a dumb thing to say.
- No, it's not. It's not. - But, like...
"You're batshit crazy. You knew this person for how long and fell in love?"
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense at all.
[laughs] It makes no sense.
So, I thought going in, like, there's potential here.
I didn't think I was actually gonna fall in love, like...
And you know the difference, right?
You know the difference between liking someone and loving someone.
Yeah. Definitely.
It's just been a very emotional couple of weeks.
That's for sure.

Put it in the sink. At least, like, at the base, they're getting in the sink.
- Basically, they're going in the sink. - No.

What is a base? Base of what?
Base means no matter what,

Um, yeah.
I don't really know how to, like, start this conversation, but...
Oh, God.
Um, before we got on the plane to leave Mexico,
um, Irina came up to me and kind of, like, let me know
that she has, like, attraction to you.
And I don't know. It just made me feel really weird.
Did you, like, have any, like, indication that she was,
like, into you, like, in Mexico?
When we went to the pool party, she was, like, kind of, like, handsy,
like, touching my leg and stuff.
I was just, like, "You know what? That's weird."
But I didn't think anything of it.
Zack was standing, like, right next to us.
So, I was just like, surely, like,
"You wouldn't be trying to make an actual, like, move on me."
It kind of put, like, doubt in my head about, like, where...
[sighs] ...um, like, where we're at.
I don't know. It just, like, made me think, like,
was there, like, more that went on that I didn't know about?
[Paul] I definitely have no intention or desire of,
like, going any... pursuing anything with her.
I just, like, thought it was so weird how, like, she ended it with Zack
and then immediately, like, jumped ship to, like,
her, like, "best friend's," like, fiancé?
Yeah, it's a weird move.
Yeah, it's frustrating because I feel like
it's coming strictly from a point of attraction.
Which I get. Like, yeah, you're hot, but, like...
- You know? I don't know. - Yeah.
You're my fiancé. You're an extension of me, and it's, like...
At this point, you know, if what you, like, are saying is true
and there's not, like, something I don't know about,
or, like, there's not, like, unresolved feelings on your end,
then, like, at this point, I feel like it's between her and I.
I feel bad for Zack. Like, Zack's my boy and...
Yeah, I do too. I feel like he's, like, easy to laugh at.
But I mean, everything that he's done, like,
that she's, like, been really turned off about,
he was doing the same exact stuff in the pods.
The only difference is now she can, like, see his face.
- Right. - You know?
I feel like I've been, like, guilty of kind of, like,
like, laughing along at, like, the whole, like, Zack thing,
'cause he's, like, such a character.
But when it comes down to it, I feel like he did come into this very open.
- And yeah, he might be extremely goofy. - [Paul chuckles]
- But that's his genuine self, you know. - [Paul] It is.
- That's what I love about him. - [Micah] Yeah.
I will say that whenever she was, like,
kind of coming on to me at the pool, I...
One of the reasons why I didn't, like, immediately call her out
in front of everyone is that, like, I feel very secure with our relationship.
I feel like I know you really well.
- [Micah] You make me feel so confident. - It feels right.
[Micah laughs]
- You really questioning me? Damn. - [laughing]
[Micah] Every day that goes by, I feel stronger and stronger towards him.
I don't think there's much that could kind of, like,
like, break us at this point.
I think that sureness and that confidence is really sexy,
and I'm really excited to explore the physical side of things.
So, hopefully, Paul complies. [laughs] I don't know.
So what do you wanna do tonight? Do you have anything in mind?
Hmm, I don't know. I mean...

- Yes. - Yes. Okay.
Yes, he proposed to me the day after I fell asleep. [snaps fingers]
- Boom! I see him for the first time. -Сan't wait for that shit.
- I was looking bomb. - Oh, man.
Tiff, how were you guys? How were you, Tiff?
You guys ran?
- I didn't run. - I ran to her.
[all] Aww!
What were your reactions?
- When that opened, what was it? - [Tiffany] What were your first thoughts?
The door opened...
- Tunnel vision. - [Tiffany] Yeah.
- [Jennifer] Yes. - Like, literally, I mean this.
- I didn't see anything else, except her. - [Bre] Aww.
[Brett] I cannot tell you the color.
I knew there was a red carpet. That's it.
I was like, "This girl is absolutely gorgeous. How"--
- [cheering] - Tiffany!
[Brett] "How..."
[Jennifer] Tiffany! Yeah!
- Like, we know it, but it's nice to hear. - We know, but okay.
No, seriously, I'm like,
"How is she such an amazing person on the inside?"
"But then, at the same time, look like this?"
- [Kristy] Right? - [Brett] Like, how is that possible?
I'm, like, saying to myself, "Brett, how did the stars align?"
- You guys got so lucky. - Yeah.
- [Jennifer] Literally-- - [Kristy] The stars definitely aligned.
- But they always align with this one. - [Tiffany] Oh!
[Kristy] You know.
[laughing] Oh, Kristy!
Just seeing her, like, happy and on this journey,
I just want somebody that's gonna put her on the pedestal that all of us put her on
and that's gonna love her through her faults
and love her through everything.
And I wanna know that the person that I'm giving her to
is gonna pick her up in the way that I would pick her up
and is going to love her in the way that I love her.
And...
[Bre] Aww, Tiffany!
[Tiffany] Stop, Kristy.
I was trying not to get to this point tonight.
[laughing]
I truly love this girl with, like, everything, and, like, she is my soul.
And she is an amazing,
phenomenal, like,
one of the best people I've ever met.
So, you are really lucky.
I'm like, you're really lucky, Brett. I'm like...
Oh, I've-- Yeah.
You can take her heart, but don't do anything with it.
'Cause I know where you live, and I'm gonna come find you.
[laughing]
With that, I just wanna let you know, Tiffany, that I do love you.
- Aww! - [Janae] Oh, my God!
- [laughs] - Seriously.

Can I ask you this? What is it about Micah that you love?
[Paul] Dude, there's honestly, like, quite a lot.
The principal thing is her perspective.
The way that she sees the world is so, so close to mine.
And it's just kind of this, like, underlying understanding
that, like, life is chaos,
and that we gotta do the best with the hand that we're dealt.
And I love that.
And I also like that she's not overly analytical like I am.
Um, so she, like, really brings me this joy.
She meets the minimum criteria for the perfect woman.
What I see with what you want out of life...
- Yeah. - I see her taking you there.
I love that.
I think Micah would genuinely follow you anywhere.
It's kind of funny. She's, like, super cute about it.
I walk in the other room, come back, and she's like, "Did you miss me?"
- Why do you think she's doing that? - She needs that affirmation.
- Which is a good sign for you. - Sure.
- She's clearly in. - [Paul] Sure.
You have trouble expressing your affection.
No doubt. Yeah.
- And she needs more of it. - [Paul] Yeah.
I mean, I told her I loved her, but it doesn't come to me like it comes--
Let me tell you. Really what everybody wants is to feel appreciated.
I mean, that was the crazy thing about Irina.
Like, she made me feel so appreciated when we were in the pods.
And then we get out into the real world, and she did the exact opposite.
- Yeah. - Exactly.
And so, what I would say, man, is making her know what you appreciate
and love about her is so important, and it's important you do that every day.
Seriously, not just, like, once a week.
Like, every day. It doesn't have to be something big.
- Let me tell you. - Yeah.
Nobody gets tired of hearing why you love them.
I really do think that I love her. Like, I do think that.
- You've got a really good girl. - [Paul] Yeah.
[Zack] Is she growing on you?
[Paul] Extremely. Like, every single day.
When I've been out with you guys, I've gotten that vibe.
So, you did get to talk to Bliss, right?
[Zack] Yeah.
And the crazy thing is the chemistry that we have.
Seriously, it's wild.
[Paul] Is it?
- [Zack] I did not anticipate it. - Yeah.
I didn't-- Like, obviously, the psychological chemistry was there.
Sure, it was there, on paper...
But, like, when we were together, I just... I felt something completely different.
Really? What?
- I mean, she's the full package. - [Paul] Okay.
- And this is where I'm at right now. - Yeah.
You know there's a million options out there.
At some point, if you really want marriage,
if you really want it, if that's what you want, and it is what I want...
If you really want it, at some point, you're gonna have to pick someone.
What is the cost of continually waiting for that next better person
or the cost of continually just trading?
- Always moving on to someone better. - Sure.
- What is the cost of that? - [Paul] Yeah.
And I feel like, for me, that is what I've been confronting.
I wanna have a wife. I wanna have kids.
I wanna have someone who's on my side that's gonna help me change the world.
Yeah, I love that.
At the end of the day,
you gotta pick the person that you wanna spend the rest of your life with.
You have to know what really matters to you.
And I'm like,
everything that matters is there.
[Paul] Yeah. Dude, yeah.

Hi, you crazy bitch!
[both laughing]
Good to see you. Hi!
- Hi. - How are you?
- I'm good. How are you? - Good.
Have you met his family yet?
- Paul's? - Yeah.
No, not yet.
- Have you started wedding planning? - We have started a bit.
Yeah, it's something really exciting. I feel like we're in a good place.
But, like, honestly, the end of the trip in Mexico
was kind of hard for me to, like, wrap my head around.
You letting me know that you were, like, talking, like,
about, you know, like, my fiancé,
like, behind my back, like, sucks.
- It did put me in a negative headspace. - Oh, 100%. Yeah.
Paul, he said that, like, "Now that you say something,
I wasn't gonna say anything, but she was touching me,
being all feely in the pool."
And like, that was, like, behind, like, my back.
And how do you think that makes me feel
when, like, I was literally your lifeline to all of these girls?
- Yeah, yeah. - You had no one. I stuck up for you.
I always was, like, "That's my bitch. She's a good person."
Like, I never left your side.
Was I the big fool here that, like, missed your, like, red flags,
or was it just a misunderstanding?
I really appreciate you a lot, by the way.
I never want you to feel like I'm going behind your back
or being sneaky or anything. Like, that makes me feel so icky.
'Cause I myself, like, I do admit, like, we were doing that.
Like, that's so sneaky. [laughs]
- Yeah. - And then me seeing Paul...
I was way more attracted to him than I was to Zack.
- Like, he was attractive. Like, great. - Right.
[laughing] Like, honestly, fucking good for you, okay?
But, like, I know I was a little bit flirty with him.
- I just didn't notice it. - It was an attraction thing.
I didn't have to--
Okay, that literally is not why we were on, like, this experiment.
You didn't feel, like, the love in the pods with Paul,
but he was hot, and now you're like...
- Like, dude. - No, I'm gonna be honest.
I just felt a connection. It was like a... like, just a connection.
It made me think, like, am I missing something?
Do I not know something? Should I question Paul?
At the airport, I was like, I want to punch him in the back of the head.
Like, it made me feel so caught off guard.
And, like, I don't want someone that I consider, like, a "best friend"
to, like, make me feel doubt in, like, someone that I'm trying so hard
to build this future with.
Yeah.
You don't have to worry about, like, what I feel about Paul, or--
I could literally give a fuck. I know he's not interested.
My thing is, like, our friendship. Like, it's our friendship.
Like, if we were to continue being friends and, like, I marry this person,
like, are we able to hang out? Like, should I feel comfortable?
Like, are you gonna get drunk and be flirty?
I don't think I'd ever make a move. If I felt that way, like,
I would be, like, "Oh, like, sit me down, Paul."
I haven't seen Paul.
Paul doesn't sound like he, like, wants to see me or, like, talk to me.
No.

- Good morning. - Hi. Oh, food.
- Is that pancakes? - [Marshall] Mm-hmm.
- Okay. - Yeah. I got some pancakes.
I see some fruit residue.
- That must mean a jam or something. - It's a compote.

The fact that you woke up hella early this morning to make me breakfast...

[Jackelina] Wow, look at this!
I'm about to tear this shit up.
Wow! I feel like I'm in a restaurant.
That's so sweet of you. Thank you.
- Aww! - Enjoy.
- You're gonna eat with me, right? - Absolutely.
[Jackelina] Oh, shit, this is good.
IHOP ain't got nothing on you.
- [Marshall] Nothing. - Okay.
[Marshall] I tried to tell you, girl.
[Jackelina] Eating like this every day, I'm gonna be easily 600 pounds.
[laughs]
- [Jackelina] I'm so blessed. - You are.
I would have never thought to even be waking up with a fiancé,
let alone a fiancé who is going to cook me food.
I'm not used to this. I've never experienced love, period.
So, experiencing this is a whole new thing for me.
He made up my plate.
Usually, when people cook, they don't really make people plates.
But Marshall made me a plate, and I just sat down.
And that was so special to me, 'cause I'm like, this is so nice.
Like, I've never been treated like this before.
Why don't you go ahead and get rolling? I'll take care of the dishes.
- Because I'm washed up, ready to go. - I'm just trying to eat another plate.
- [laughs] - Oh, for real?
- Want another plate? - [chuckles]
- That was actually really good. - I'm glad you liked it.
- I'm impressed. - More to come. More to come.
I'm impressed.

[Chelsea] I'm definitely nervous. How are you feeling?
I mean, I'm trying to be a little less nervous.
What we're about to do is just a very unique situation.
[Kwame] For sure.
And I think it's very normal for any and all of our parents
to have some type of... reaction.
Yeah, I get that.
You and I haven't dealt with that yet firsthand.
[Kwame] Yeah.
- [Chelsea] You know? - Mm-hmm.
- What's up? - [Kwame] Nothing at all.
Okay.
I feel like your anxiety is becoming my anxiety, you know.
- Like, I wanna be very... Let it happen. - [chuckles] Welcome to marriage.
[Chelsea] I didn't share too many details with my dad
before I embarked on this experiment.
So, I think it might be a little bit shocking to him.
Will he be 100% supportive of us getting married in two weeks?
I don't know.
[yawns]
- Do you know what his name is? - No, no clue.
- [Chelsea] His name is Charlie. - Oh, cool. Charles.
- Charlie. He goes by Charlie. - Okay. It's my dad's name too.
[Chelsea laughs]
Of course it is.
[Kwame] What's up?
- Nothing. I'm just a little nervous. - Mm-hmm.
- I just want it to go well. - Yeah.
You know, my dad's been married before, I mean...
- For a long time, like... - Yeah.
He-- He's gonna know the questions to ask.
You know why we're getting married in a couple weeks, right?
So, if he asks, tell him why this is different from anything else.
And that's all there is to it.
You just tell your truth.
The more we worry, the more we just keep going down different rabbit holes
of what the possibilities could be, right?
The more calm we are, the more calm he'll be.
I love me a good Kwame lecture.
- You give more lectures than I give you. - I don't think so.
Oh, whoa there, buddy.
You give me a good lecturing pretty often.
- I think you give me more. - No.
I think we're both on edge here a bit.
Um, but I'm the one who has to do the impressing.
Not necessarily. This is us having to do the impressing.
But, like, I'm coming into your family, right? And he's--
For sure, for sure. There's that dynamic, but we also are gonna be a partnership.
For sure. I-- I understand that.
He's gonna be looking at our dynamic, like, both of us.
[Kwame] Okay.
It's just kind of like a wild card.
You just don't know how they're gonna react.
- [Kwame] Yeah. - He's met boyfriends before of mine.
Oh, boyfriends before?
- Okay. Awesome. - Um...
My dad likes to test a little bit.
But, like, he's never disliked, really, like, at least openly to me
and one of my exes.
But I don't think he's ever really, like...
liked one for me, for, like, my husband, you know.
That makes sense.
Have you ever liked anyone for your life partner?
- Me? - Yeah?
No.
- Great. Do you like me as your partner? - Yes.
All right, then, I think we're doing okay. That's a great start.
It means that I'm... a little bit ahead of most of the guys you dated, right?

- Oh, my God. - [Kwame laughs]
