Yeah.
Who proposes to someone twice in a month?
Just me.
I really thought you might say no.
Oh, I thought about it.
I should have said no and then maybe, "Just kidding."
But I really do feel like it's right, though.
As scary as that is, you know.
Trusting the intuition thing and trusting life.
But you better not ever fuck up again.

I'll try not to.
You haven't even met my dog yet.
Or my kitten. And you're allergic to them.
- What are we gonna do about that? - I'll get an allergy shot.
We'll see if it does anything.
Now I have to tell my family.
Oh, no. Like, "Wait. I thought he dumped you."
Yeah, my family, uh, is gonna be a little surprised too.
My mom's gonna literally be like, "You're finally not an old spinster."
My dad's probably gonna think that too, but he won't say it.
Well, let's hope that's what your dad thinks.
You're very scared about my dad. - I am.
I'm glad you said yes.
I must really like you. - I know.
So, when did you-- What was--
I'm so-- I'm just very shocked.
When did I know I was gonna propose?
- Is that what you're asking? - Mm-hmm.
Like, when we got back from Mexico. When I met you, I just knew.
I knew.
I knew before you knew. Which feels stupid. I feel so dumb.
But I don't know.
I feel like it's that thing, like, when you know, you know.
Yeah. Well, when we were in the pods,
I felt it too.
I mean, think about how crazy it is. You barely even made it there.
I know. I literally-- Yeah, I was super sick.
And yet, it still...
ended with us on this boat.
Yeah.
I'm engaged to Zack.
I don't know. Life is weird.
It's exciting and shocking. And...
I mean, the thing about it is, and...
I feel so cheesy saying this,
but I feel like I knew that he was my person,
like, literally from meeting-- just hearing-- our first date.
Like, I literally feel like I knew, deep in my soul, that it was right.
So, even though there's all this crazy drama that's happened,
and he was literally engaged to someone else,
I feel like it is right.
I think it's dumb that people say that,
but now I actually get it.

I haven't really introduced them to a lot of people.
Really? - No.
Not a lot of boyfriends? Not a lot of fiancés?
- Not a lot of fiancés. Zero, to be exact. Yeah.
- Well, happy to be the first. - Yeah.
Hopefully, I'm the last.
Mm-hmm. I think my dad has an understanding of what's going on,
but my mom literally has zero idea.
We're gonna have to explain the whole thing to her, huh?
I have not even told her that I'm engaged. So, like...
Well, break the news.
- I'm nervous, though. Are you nervous?
I hope that when they see me that it makes sense to them.
They're like, "Oh, this is the guy that she's looking for."
Yeah. Oh, my gosh. I'm, like, so nervous.
- Hi. - Hey.
Oh, my gosh, I missed you so much.
- I missed you too. - Howdy.
Hey. Paul.
- Paul. - Nice to meet you.
- Another Paul? What the hell?
- Hi, Dad. - Hey.
- Oh, my gosh. - What the hell? You growing up?
- Trish. - Trish. Nice to meet you. Paul.
Oh, yeah. Well, that'll be easy.
- We all got a Paul. Grab a seat.
- On that side. - Oh, Paul got these for you.
Oh, thank you.
- You're welcome.
Oh, my God. Stop.
Well, that's so nice. Thank you.
Oh, my gosh. Mm-hmm.
I haven't told you guys anything, but we're engaged.
- Micah!
- Dad's face, he's like, "What the hell?" - He's like, "I'm not so sure about this."
Congratulations.
Yeah. It's weird 'cause I know, like, going into this experience, like,
I, like, conveyed to you guys, like,
that there's no way that I'm gonna be able to, like, actually,
you know, like, meet someone
that I wanna be, like, engaged to.
But, like, it just, like, happened, like, so naturally.
I don't know if you guys, like, know much about how it works,
but basically, we live, like, in a townhouse together.
And we'll live there, like, until the wedding day.
Oh, okay.
Speaking of the wedding. You guys wanna come?
- When is it? - It's in a couple weeks.
- Couple weeks?
- Yeah. - What kind of wedding will it be?
It's gonna be, like, a totally, like, normal wedding.
Like, I want it to be, like, vintage.
Like, glam, like, I want it to be really, like, cute and, like, timeless.
And Paul's just gonna go with it.
Yeah, I'm very easygoing. - He doesn't care. He's just gonna show up.
She's got a good taste.
So I trust her with the wedding and picking out all that stuff.
I'm gonna extend invites
to anyone who wants to come, like, in our family.
I'm gonna have a good amount of friends there.
People you know. Like, Rachel will be there. Shelby.
Where are you guys gonna live?
The fact that I'm, like, working fully remote,
it's very likely that we'll end up being here.
We're probably moving into his place.
Oh.
His interesting place that I need to redecorate from start to finish.
I'm just kidding.
Yeah, I told Paul once we have kids, we're gonna have to have a complex...
...for my family to live on.
Yeah, she did say that.
I told him in the pod, it's non-negotiable.
- My family will actually also be there.
Hopefully. Someone needs to help raise these kids.
How many children do you want?
Um, I think, ideally, two.
I'm definitely not ready to have kids now, but...
I think I wanna, like, have a really cool,
like, epic, like, marriage,
like, well, you know, before we bring kids into the equation.
But we're happy that we are on the same page, like,
regarding having children.
He's like, "Oh, we have to name our son Paul if we have a son."
I was like, "I'll consider a middle name." That's as far as this is going.
Yeah, I know it sounds crazy. Like, it was really fast, right?
Like, you can't deny it. But, um, it's definitely real.
It's definitely real, and it's happening.
Do you like him?
- Do I get thumbs up, thumbs down? - Be honest.
He's a Paul. He was good to go from the beginning.
You were good by birthright.
Thank you.
I get good vibes from Paul, probably 'cause he's Paul.
I mean, I don't know him.
He could be a serial killer for all I know.
But my first impression of him is I trust the guy.
You know what I mean?
The whole thing is odd. Definitely.
But we're accepting it because we know our daughter.
Things usually work out with Micah.
My biggest worry is that Micah's gonna get her heart broken.
I never really thought about that, but yeah, that obviously is.
It means a lot to me that, um, you guys approve, you know.
Do you approve? - It does.
- Look at the dude's face. Smiling's happy.
Thank you, guys.

In this moment, this whole relationship with Jackie
is very bleak.
The other night, she says that I needed to boss up.
The way she made me feel in that moment
when she said that I wasn't a man,
that I wasn't doing grown-man stuff...
That hurts because I truly, genuinely do love this girl.
So, I left. I was staying at my apartment.
I'm very self-aware that in that moment I could have blown up,
but I did not. I needed time.
Now we're here, and I don't know where we stand.
- You're packing your stuff? Yeah.
For what reason?
- I'm not about to play games with you. - What game are we playing?
You didn't wanna sit here and talk. You're like, "I'm leaving."
What else am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do?
Sit in my feelings and sleep next to someone who said I was not man enough?
I never said you weren't man enough for me.
I just said to be more aggressive.
We don't have sex, bro.
We don't have sex.
Oh, that... that's on my account?
I'm just saying. Do something.
Like, try and get me in the mood or something.
I have been nothing but down for you.
Marshall, you're gonna give me a migraine,
'cause you're irking the shit out of me.
It's always what you feel and how you think.
And then when I am aggressive--
And then when I am aggressive, you shut me down.
- You're never aggressive. - That's not who I am.
Okay. Well, that's it, then.
If you can't accept me for that, then I don't know what to tell you.
What I'm saying to you now--
I'm not saying for you to be aggressive 100% of the time.
So, what are you telling me, then?
Who you clapping at? - You. In your face.
You're not clapping at me.
- You better fix it. - Is that not me being aggressive?
I'm testing you now. Is that aggressive?
I told him I wanted him to be more aggressive.
Like, boss up.
Switch it up. That way we don't be like that old grandpa.
And then he's talking about, "Oh, what you said to me
really seared into my brain, and I just can't get over that."
I didn't even say it to where I was derogatory
or I've defamed you or anything. Fuck no.
What do you want?
I wanna have a conversation with you. I wanna be able to speak my piece clearly.
Speak your piece and speak it clearly, please.
I'm always kissing on you. I'm always rubbing on you.
I'm always doing these things. What do you do for me?
That is why I'm confused.
You have done nothing to make me feel seduced or special or anything.
Make me feel like something, Jackie.
I make you feel nothing?
So why are you still with me if didn't make you feel like nothing?
I see you as a project, and I saw potential.
I thought that you were just gonna come around to me at some point.
- I was waiting for that. - Oh, that's really wild.
- I'm a project? - I saw you as a project.
Okay.
You have not been in a real relationship before.
You also say that you're not emotionally available at times.
I've been in relationships before. I have that experience, so I saw you--
What are you, a fucking puppeteer?
And I'm a puppet?
- No. - I'm gonna get the rest of my shit, bro.
Like, I'm a fucking project. I'm a fucking project.
I said "project."
Fucking emotions are going.
But what I see in you is limitless potential.
And I know that I can be that person to bring that out of you.
I don't see you as a project.
I see you as someone who I can uplift and empower.
And I told you that from jump.
This is what marriage is.
This is what a committed relationship looks like.
Having tough conversations even when we don't want to.
You know exactly how I feel about you.
I don't hold anything back.
I fucking love you.

Seems like a nice, uh, bougie corner.
Very fitting for you, right?
- Wow. - I had to get you, babe.
It's less than two weeks to the wedding.
We still have so much to figure out.
And I'm slightly nervous.
Anxious.
The wedding is in less than two weeks.
- It is. - What are we gonna do?
What are we gonna do with the cake? I gotta find a wedding dress.
I don't know how to plan these things.
Um, and I think just, like, trying to get everybody here right now, it's...
it's kind of taking its toll on me.
All right, well, let's tackle one thing at a time.
Yeah. Sorry. - Cake.
So, this is not scaring you?
Honestly, it doesn't.
Why doesn't it scare you?
Because of you.
- I see the future so clearly with you. - Mm-hmm.
So, I don't feel stressed.
I don't have any doubts.
I don't feel like I'm rushing into a decision.
- I don't feel pressure. - Hmm.
And I'm sure whatever we do is gonna be amazing.
Can I tell you something interesting?
My auntie told me recently, she's like, "Yeah, you know,
your grandma and granddad, like,
they got married after six weeks of knowing each other."
"And they were together for 60 plus years."
Wow. - My grandfather.
He had the most beautiful skin.
- Hmm. - Just like you.
Oh! Whoa. Okay. Nice way to slide that in there.
- Yo, I mean, you do have beautiful skin. Really?
Do you see me? I'm like...
- You know. I try. - I'm peeling over here.
Man, this feels good.
And I'm all in. And I love you.
- Well, I love you too, Tiffany.
- Jesus!
Brett.
- Oh! - Are you tearing up?
Yo, this is a tear of joy.
Goodness gracious.
Yo.
We're gonna make it.

Okay.
Here we go.
The last month has been like an entire year...
...condensed into a month.
I came back here. Got to meet Bliss.
Immediately felt the connection that we had in the pods.
Felt it even stronger.
Got engaged.
Now I'm moving in with her.
Mind you, at the same time, I'm in the process of--
I literally just moved to Seattle to start my own law firm.
So, I'm trying to balance that.
And then I got a wedding in two weeks. So, there's a lot.
- Let's not put this on the bed. - Stairs... Oh, my God.
- You're killing me.
- It's dirty. It's dirty. - Hyah!
See, there's the ground rules.
Don't put suitcases on the bed.
- Don't put shoes on the bed. - The suitcase.
- Not even a trace of dirt on that. - That's so not true.
I mean, I'm making a very, very big decision,
and I'm doing it very, very quickly.
And, like, that's not lost on me. Um...
I mean, the truth is, like, I take so long
before I ever make a decision with anything.
And sometimes that's to my own impediment.
And so, we decided this is what we wanted to do.
That we're gonna go forward with the wedding.
Um, and I think that was because...
we just feel it.
- I'm pretty grumpy in the morning. - Are you?
Mm-hmm.
And I don't know, actually, if I told you about my alarms.
- Oh, God!
- Oh! - Yeah, I know.
I think it's gonna hit us more
that we're, like, here and living together, like, tomorrow.
Like, waking up together and, like, how-- You know what I mean?
Mm-hmm. - Yeah.
Everything's like a whirlwind.
Yeah. I feel like I haven't processed anything.
I'm like, I got engaged to someone that was just engaged to someone else.
- Yeah, that is kind of weird. - That's okay.
I've cried so much. I literally don't know if I have any tears left inside.
Like, I think I'm done forever crying about you.
It's definitely, like, a challenge for me, for sure.
Battling, like, my pride and...
through this has been hard.
Part of me wanted to never, ever,
ever talk to you again because it's hurtful.
I-- I get it. I get it.
But I love you a lot, and I've been very forgiving to you.
I'm trying to, like, let it go.
And I understand.
But I'm still gonna have, like, those feelings sometimes of, like,
concern of being second choice.
Like, that grosses me out, and, like, makes me feel icky.
Right.
But you're clearly not.
- I don't think that's clear to me. - Is it? Is it really not clear to you?
I don't think so. I think from a third-party perspective--
- I'm asking you. - Well, I know that I'm better than her.
- No, no, no. Not "better." - Not better, but, like, I know...
- There's the pretentiousness. - You know what I'm saying.
- I get it. - Okay.
But what I'm saying is
I think you clearly know that
there's not a single part of me that would wanna be with her.
There was a whole part of you that wanted to marry her.
Before I met her.
I had a real love with you.
Like, I really loved you.
Why are you saying it in past tense?
'Cause I'm talking about the past. I still love you, obviously.
But what I'm saying is, like,
I had this very strong connection.
And I had a strong connection with her as well,
and I did love her. I loved who I thought she was.
I'm not saying I would have--
And what I've said to you this whole time is that you were the right choice.
Yeah, but it still doesn't take away my feeling about that.
Yeah, I get it, but it doesn't make you the second choice.
Like, it doesn't. Because there's nothing--
Like, you'd be the second choice if I still wanted to be with her.
Or if a part of me was like, "I wish I could be with her."
That would make you a second choice, right?
That'd be like, "Okay, you're just settling."
No, there's no part of me that wants to be with her.

You're gonna get a bath.
Yeah.
You're gonna get all clean-clean.
So have you ever bathed a dog before, babe?
Not even close. Never.
You ever bathed, like, a baby before?
A baby? - Yeah.
Yes. Okay.
I love Rocky. Rocky is a really, really great dog.
You love Kwam, huh?
Look at him looking at you like, "Daddy."
I'm spraying him with water.
- Of course he's looking at me. - Save me. Save me.
- What's that supposed to mean?
He loves you. You know it.
Rocky is like her child.
Rocky is the child that I already have now.
You know what I'm saying? I don't think I've ever had something
that strapped to my waist before.
Good boy.
Get his tail.
Always get a little extra.
- Gotta wash their bum.
I'll do that part.
We're still adjusting.
Speaking of kids and bathing babies.
I've always wanted a lot of kids. Like, growing up, I used to want six kids.
You know, I've just always wanted to be a mom, Kwam.
And, like, there were moments when I was like...
"When is it gonna happen for me?" You know?
I feel you.
I just never pictured myself, like, you know...
being, like, an... older mom or...
That can be difficult.
And you said three years is okay?
I gotta be honest with you. I don't, like--
I think there has to be a period of time for us to, like, really enjoy each other.
Like, admittedly, I always, like, envisioned this...
this lifestyle of just, like, being with my partner
and, like, traveling the world, and...
There's a question that does come up 'cause right now we have Rocky, right?
And that doesn't make things easy to just kind of get up and go.
You also have your job, which, you know, you have in Seattle
and don't have the same flexibility that I have.
Um...
I mean, and then on top of that, like...
We are thinking about having kids
in three to four years now. You know what I mean?
When they're younger, you can put 'em in a front pack,
and they don't do anything. You know, like, when they're babies.
What, we go to Cabo and lay in the sun with our newborn?
You know?
People travel with their kids all the time.
Okay.
We can hire a nanny to travel with us.
- Baby, the sky is the limit. - You say things like it's easy to do.
Oh, trust me. I get that.
- You know how I think. - I could homeschool.
All right.
Seriously.
It's just making sure that we do get time to ourselves,
'cause once those kids come out,
things change.
Like, do you wanna settle down?
Yeah. Why wouldn't I?
I don't know. I'm-- I'm just inquiring about...
Kind of, it seems to be like you're leaving a part of yourself behind
or you're sad to, like,
see that lifestyle go.
I'm hap-- I'm--
I've always been willing to do this for us, you know?
Willing to do what?
Move to Seattle.
Sacrifice what you want?
Don't take it in that direction.
I'm not sacrificing what I want.
But I am compromising.
Welcome to marriage.
I understand that, baby, but...
If we're being honest here, the compromise coming from this side is
pretty darn big.
I didn't say anything wrong about it.
I just said, "Hey, consider how I'm feeling in this moment."
That's all I ask. Is that fair?
Considered.

- Hello! Hey!
Hi. Hey, what's up y'all?
- How's it going? Paul. How you doing, brother?
Not bad. Not bad.
It's my best friend's birthday.
And I'm bringing Paul to kind of, like,
give him an introduction to, like, all my friends.
- Have you met Paul? This is Paul. - Paul.
By the way, this is my fiancé. I think I forgot to mention.
Paul's looking like a snack.
And I'm like, "Okay, as long as I can present him well,
maybe my friends will like him."
- Cheers. - All right. Cheers.
- Cheers. - Cheers to... I guess, you guys.
- No, cheers to you! Happy birthday! - Happy birthday.
But thank you, as well.
- Wait. Your outfit is so cute. - Wait, no, but real-life shit.
What?
Do you get to sleep next to her every night?
It's crazy. It's so crazy. I love it.
Before actually seeing her, 'cause obviously, she's gorgeous...
- You were just hearing her voice. Shut up!
What drew you to her?
We just would laugh the whole time.
There would be some banter, and then I'd go, like,
"So, where do you find meaning in life?" Like, right after that.
To me, it was just one of those things that was really obvious.
And I would say, like, I'm a super logical guy,
but with her, I really went with my gut,
like, intuition and how I was feeling. And yeah, clearly it paid off, you know.
Not to put you on the spot, but how serious are you?
I need to know how serious you are.
How serious am I? I think...
I don't really date that casually, to begin with.
And I sure as hell don't get engaged casually.
Yeah. Understandable.
- I'm like, "You don't?" - Yeah.
So, I think, uh, with that indicator, like, it's pretty serious for me.
She's my harshest critic.
Like, anyone I date,
like, has to pass, like, her test and Micayla too.
Because, I mean, Shelby has single-handedly,
like, terminated relationships for me.
- A couple of them. I'm not kidding. - Like single-handedly.
- Because they weren't good people. Yeah.
And they sucked.
Obviously, it is kind of a skill to date Micah.
- Oh, I know. I know. - Are you sure?
'Cause I don't know if you'd be here right now if you did.
So, I do need to say this.
Like, I know how beautiful she is, but for someone who has never seen
how she looks and just hears how she talks, like,
you create something in your head.
- Obviously. Right.
But was it even close to what... how she is and what she looks like?
It's so strange, because it's yes and no.
It's kind of hard to explain. So, the experiment
and the whole experience is, like, weirdly complex.
He's a scientist.
- That's why he talks in these big, long-- - Yeah, sorry.
This whole, like, articulate manner. Yeah.
It's weird. I don't know how I feel about it.
We're not used to that.
I'm just getting roasted now. Welcome to the roast of Paul.
Shelby makes, like, a first impression, and it's just, like, boom.
Oh, yeah. I mean... - She's not wrong.
Either way, I'll have something a little bitchy to say at some point.
So keep it up.
I'm serious about it, though.
Don't say that kind of stuff to me. I'll get pissed.
She's easily angered.
- I mean, can't say that I care. - Don't be like that.
I don't know. I mean, I don't.
- I mean, you should. - I care for you.
That's, like, really the worst attitude to have.
If you don't care about what she says, that's, like, a major issue.
No. I 100% do, but I'm not gonna take it personally is what I'm saying.
Oh, you don't take her little comments personally?
But you should care how she feels about you.
Yeah, yeah, so, that's true. For sure.
Anyways.
We need shots. Where's the bartender?
I think I have to let y'all take this shot.
I'm gonna run to the restroom.
Micah, Micah.
- Yes. - Are you in love with him?
Yeah, 100%.
I don't know. It just feels like it's what it's supposed to feel like
when you find, like, your other half, I guess.
That sounds crazy coming out of me.
- I can't even say... Sounds crazy.
Yeah. I know. That kind of makes me sick.
I know. I didn't know I could talk like that. Sometimes--
Look at Shelby.
- Shelby's like, "I've never heard--" - I know.
I've never heard you talk like that.
No, like, I really like him.
I know. He's, like, so great, right?
- You're not sure. - Yeah. She really isn't.
I'm 100% not with it.
- You're not with it at all? - No, not at all.
- You're not with it? No.
You don't like him?
He's extremely nice.
He's the best guy ever... right now.
What do you think of Paul?
You're a hater.
I'm not a hater.
I'm the most protective person of Micah
because that's my best friend in the entire world.
And I will never not be skeptical because of how I feel about her.
And I've been there for so much.
And I just think that I need more.
I need more.
- You're not into it? - No.
Are you being serious?
I just feel like that this wasn't meant for you.
Like, you're meant to have the most spectacular everything.
You're Micah. And I think you deserve that.
You're meant to have the best wedding of your life.
You're meant to have all this, and this isn't it.

Thank you for wearing pink for my birthday.
You're welcome. - Very sweet of you.
Yeah. I'm glad it came out the way you wanted it to.
- You came out the way I wanted you to.
What's up? What's up? - Hello!
- How are you, man? Oh, my goodness!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! - How are you?
I've missed you so much.
It's Chelsea's birthday. We're all getting together.
- It's my birthday!
I'm happy to see everybody.
We had incredible times in the pods together.
I'm very curious to see a lot of people that I really missed.
To see how everybody's doing.
So, tonight's a celebration.
I just have to say...
What's up? - I just really like Paul's style.
This is recently created. No. You don't like Paul's style.
- You like my style on Paul. Oh, okay.
Paul doesn't have style.
- Look like a Silicon Valley millionaire. You're mine.
You know what I'm saying?
Hey.
Look at this guy.
- Wait. Wait.
Who is this?
Josh Demas.
- What?! No!
He made it back. How the fuck...
I'm back. You feel me?
Seeing Josh D, that was a shock.
It's like the ultimate plot twist.
Hi, guys.
- Hey. Oh, my God. You're back?
Oh, my God, are you okay?
Are you okay? - It's literally insane.
- What are the fucking odds?
Oh!
What the fuck, baby?
I'm so happy for you.
- It's crazy. I don't know what I'm doing. - I know.
I am so shocked to see Bliss and Zack.
- Your face lights up the whole room. - I could not be happier right now.
- Thank you. I agree.
The fact that he was able to chase after her
and, you know, get her to get back on board with him
is, like, really magical.
Cheers to Zack and Bliss.
I wish you all the luck.

- Happy birthday. Thank you.
Yes, yes, of course, of course. Hey, what's up?

That's what's up.
- Hey, hey, are we back in the pods? I know.
I see B Nasty out here. Hey, hey, Kwame.
- Is this B Nasty? Yeah.
You're like, "I'm being nasty."
- Oh!
What's going on?
Uh, we had a falling out.
- She's on her way. We talked about it. - Okay. Okay.
But I don't really know where we stand after this.
Uh, it's, you know, ebbs and flows to this.
- It is. It is. It is. - It's... Yeah.
That's normal. - Yeah.
Yeah, we'll be fine. You know?
I know. I just hope you can get some... You know, feed off the energy, you know.
- Get your spirits up a little bit. - Yeah. Absolutely.
Feel the love of the community. We're all supporting you guys.
- What the hell is with this dude? - I don't know.
This is what we had to deal with every day.
I was like, "And you are?"
Send him home again.
- Again.
How are you and Chelsea doing?
- We're really good. You are?
Yeah. I love her.
I don't think that there's a person who is both internally and externally
a better fit for me than Chelsea is.
- I believe that, you know. Yeah.
The biggest thing on my mind is changing our lifestyle.
Our lifestyles are so different.
How so?
Right, like, she goes into work about seven to seven.
- Right? She's there most of the week. - Uh, yeah.
She has a dog.
And she lives in Seattle, you know. A few of these things to consider.
Mm-hmm.
I don't mind transitioning into that lifestyle.
Mm-hmm. - I don't mind having a dog at home.
And, you know, waiting for my wife or fiancée,
you know, at home and prepping dinner.
But, like, I feel as though I'm somebody who tends to compromise a lot, right?
- Ooh. Okay. Yeah. I feel you. You know?
And that's what I'm trying not to do here.
But also trying to make sure that the amount or level of energy
that I put into making this situation work is something that will be healthy for me,
and will make me happy ten, 15, 20 years down the line.
- You have to be sure about what you want. - Yeah.
And even if that's not it, it doesn't make each other the bad person.
It's just sometimes your lives aren't aligned
to what you want in the future.
- Or where you see yourself. - Yeah.
It was honestly kind of a mess in Mexico.
Like, Zack pretty quickly was, you know, I think, thinking about you.
Um, I know she was very quickly, like, not interested in him.
And she was, like, coming on to Paul. I've heard, like, really awful stuff.
And, you know, I even had a conversation with her, you know, after Mexico.
And I sat her down and I was like, "First of all... no."
Like, it's just you were her only friend.
- No, I know. - She ostracized herself from everyone.
She had no one. I was her lifeline.
For her to do that to you, that really speaks to the type of person she is.
Everyone can grow and learn,
and I hope that for her, but that's just, like, so horrible.
I'm so sorry that she did that.
Yeah, I appreciate that. I remember when I was talking to her, like,
the first point of business was I wanted to be like, "What the heck?"
"Why would you do that with Paul? How could you do that?"
More importantly, I was like, "You know, Irina, at some point,
you have to look at the situation and be like,
when there's, you know,15, 30 people all feeling the same way about you,
at some point, you have to realize maybe it's you, not them."
Hi.
- There he is.
- Anyway.
- Mouth full of salmon. Bliss.
- Hello. - She likes the salmon taste.
I know.
I'll top you guys off.
He is really sweet.
I think that he is a really genuine person.
He is.
If you want this with him, I feel like it will work, you know.
Yeah.
Couple of nights ago, Jackie told me that she wanted more from me.
She needed more from me. She wants me to be more aggressive.
Mm-hmm.
Let her tell it, she wants me to be more aggressive in the bedroom.
Mm-hmm.
You know, somebody who will slap her around a little bit.
- Not physically, but like-- yeah. - Drama.
- Drama. Mm-hmm. - Not who I am. It's never who I will be.
She wants that toxic kind of love.
And I recognize it, 'cause I've dealt with women like that before.
I'm the first real man in their life who treats them like something.
Yep.
And I never thought that it would be... this bad.
The self-sabotaging.
Hmm.
It's hard because I do genuinely love this girl.
I think from the start in the pods, me and you always been good.
You know, so, thank you for opening up to me.
- I've opened up to you. - Yeah.
With that being said, you are a good dude.
You're trying to do the best.
You're trying to show her what the life with you could be like.
This is who you are. This is what you're about.
And if she's not ready for that, then she is just not ready for that.
She wants to be with me.
She fucks with me tough. That's what she says.
She never told me she loves me.
- She tells me that she cares about me. - Hmm.
And so, now, I'm just like, kind of, like, between a rock and a hard place
because I don't know what that means.
And we're two weeks away from the wedding
that I could potentially be left at the altar.
- We all came here for marriage, right? - Yeah.
- I wanna be married. Mm-hmm.
I wanna walk away with a marriage.

Jack. Hello!
Hi.
- Keep it together. You're good. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
You're good. - Yeah.
You look so hot.
Queen! - Thank you. I had to.
Jackie, I know how you feel. Hi. How are you?
Hundred percent...
Hi, you. How are you?
- Good. How you doing? I'm okay, babe.
Do you wanna wear my coat? Here.
No, because it's gonna ruin my outfit.
But you not about to catch a cold.
I'll be fine. No. I'll be fine. You're ruining my vibe.
- Girl, put this on. Marshall.
- I have plenty of-- - It's messing up my...
- You look good, actually. - Thanks.
I'm so excited about it.
- You look good. - Thank you. Bye.
I came here trying to find love, and I got screwed over.
But I was really in love with Jackie,
and I was scared of, like, really putting myself out there.
- Marshall's amazing. He is.
And, like, I didn't come back here to, like, fuck him over or anything.
I just came back here to see my friends. But like...
Do I put Marshall before how I feel?
I honestly think that he put himself before how I feel.
Hmm.
It's been eating at me on the inside.
- Yeah. - I'm gonna lay it out there with Jackie.
And whatever happens, happens.
Marshall's a good guy.
But I'm good at stirring the pot, motherfucker.
- Ooh, this is good. This is good. It's good, huh?
I like this. I'm gonna need, like, four or five.
- Hi. What's up?
- How are you? How are you? How you doing.
Good.
Isn't it weird, like, meeting everybody?
- So weird. - Like, having the voices.
The voices. It's trippy.
That shit's crazy!
Crazy! - That shit is crazy.
What you all sippin' on?
It's cool actually putting the voice with the face.
Like, it's now coming to me.
- Oh! Oh! Is it? Is it now? Is it? Oh! Yeah! Yeah.
'Cause it's like, you kind of drag out, like, your words.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Girl, show me what you look like.
What you talking about?
He never talked like that.
That's a lie.
What the hell are you talking about? I was all-- I kept it real.
In the pods, he was like, "I'm a certified lover boy."
- I was like, "Oh, my God." - I am. I'm a certified lover boy.
Who certified you? - I'm a certified tequila boy.
I was like, "Okay, Drake. I see you. I see you."
Are you feeling me? I'm a certified everything. You feel me?
- I'm a certified... Yeah. - I love that. I love that.
- Ooh. Ooh.
- No, no. - She lying like shit.
Oh!
How's everything going? How are you?
Things are good. Things are really good, actually.
- I'm a dog dad now. - You are?
Yeah, I walk Rocky three times a day, um, before Chelsea gets home.
Paul could never.
Dude, like, things are good.
- I mean, um... - Good. I'm happy.
Someone asked me tonight, "Oh, yeah. You're going into your wedding day."
"You gonna say yes?" I'm like, "Don't fucking ask me that."
- That's, like, you know... - Yeah.
I feel like you're being so, like, genuine 'cause we feel the same, like...
- Yeah. - It's hard.
Paul and I are, like... We are always so, like, happy together.
But, like, trust me, it's not all rainbows and sunshine.
When I think about our wedding day's coming up.
There's a small part of me freaks out. You know what I mean?
Like, no matter how sure I could feel about a person, it's like it's--
How would you not?
Like, do you think that you made the right choice?
You can be honest with me.
I feel like I'm very
unsure but hopeful.
Yeah.
- Not to turn the question around, but... - Yeah.
Like, why is that something that you would wanna ask? Like...
- Do you...
Do you feel like you're questioning? Like...
Um...
Uh...
Chelsea is a person that I could really see myself with for the rest of my life.
I love who she is as a person.
But Micah has a special place in my heart.
She-- She... will always.
We just have this, like, very seamless connection.
There's, like, no pressure to it.
There's, like, no overwhelming pressure on the shoulders.
And in this experiment,
you wanna make sure that you are not leaving anything on the table,
as we kind of, like, lean into the last stretch before wedding day.
I was just thinking, in the beginning of our stages getting to know each other,
things were so easy and natural. You know?
One hundred percent. I remember you were my number one
for, like, day after day after day after day.
I know.
I don't know. I feel like even after, like, all the crap we've been through,
like, I was so excited to talk to you.
And I, like... I still feel that.
Like, when I see you, there's, like, there's so much electricity.
I feel like we have so much potential.
- Yeah. Yeah. I care about you.
I think about you. I worry about you. I'm hoping that you're happy.
Like, I do really, like, feel, like,
that intense, like, care for you that I always did.
Yeah, I get that. Um, and I feel the same way for you.
That is obvious. That is obvious to me that I love her.
Like, it is not a question.
Who knows what happens when you get to the altar?
- You know, forget about everything. - Mm-hmm.
Like, make her feel special, for real.
I want her to feel special. I want her to know that she's special.
And what if I do?
What if I make that obvious that she is special to me,
that she is extremely special to me?
And then it doesn't work out.
- Exactly. That's the risk. - Fuck, I don't know.
I don't know. - Yeah.
But I think the power of that moment,
if I had to wager, is probably worth more.
Interesting. Better to have loved and lost than never at all is what you're saying.
Yeah, yeah. - Interesting.
And so, I kind of think that you should make her feel special.
Yeah. I see what you're getting at now.
Like, that honoring the truth
and realizing it to its fullest extent of potential.
The truth that, like, she is extremely special to me,
that I do love her, and, like, fully representing that.
Yeah. I think you should.
I appreciate the perspective. I think that was definitely good for me to hear.
Yeah.
Okay.
- And we're here. - Okay.
Oh!
Hi! - Oh, my goodness. Hello!
Oh, fuck. God damn it. It's getting worse, bro.
Hi!
What the fuck?
The last time that Amber and I spoke to each other in the pods,
it was so incredibly tough for me.
It felt like this sort of one-sided, you know, damaging breakup.
I'm taking this off.
Take it off!
You know, seeing her, like, in person,
she's a beautiful girl,
but my connection with Micah is real, and we do love each other.
Nasty.
And so, I think that that is something that I will avoid at all cost.
It's definitely not worth it at this point.
Nasty.
- You like me?
Hmm.

- Don't look at me like that, bitch. - Looking like what?
I love you, bro.
- For real. For real, for real - I appreciate that.
- You know what I'm saying? - Yeah.

- Don't let this change us. - For sure.
Oh, absolutely not. Why would it?

The fuck was that?

Like, Jack, though, on the real though. Like, how is your heart?
Like, how do you feel?
I'm torn.
Do you think you guys are just having fundamental differences,
and so little things are starting to bottle up?
- Girl, you're being federal.
You're asking these federal questions, trying to be in my business.
That's so crazy. - It is crazy.
You guys care if I'm-- - You don't even know.
You don't even get what we're going through.
Can I have a moment with Jackie?
Yeah. - All right?
Jackie's face...
- Wait. Hold on. You gonna whup my ass.
- I'm not. I don't know what's going on.
- I'm supposed to be over here. What's up? - Okay. Hi.
- What you trippin' for? - How are you? How are you?
What's up with you?
You're really surprised I came in here?
- I'm surprised. - No.
- Shut the hell up. You weren't surprised. - I'm surprised. I'm surprised.
- I did not think you was gonna pull up. - Why?
Too cool for school.
- How am I too cool for school? - You too cool for school.
You were talking to MBA cry boy.
I'm gonna be upfront.
Marshall was crying with everybody.
It was from the first day to the last day, so I was like--
When I was talking to you, I was keeping it real from the jump.
And then I felt like you were always real.
So, I was just like, I didn't think that you were gonna be falling for that shit.
- Look over there. I know.
I don't like this. I know.
- They wanna have a moment to talk. - I know.
I know, and we can't control what people feel.
It is weird to see somebody that you truly care about
with somebody else.
So, like, you genuinely cared about me?
Of course.
That's not even a question.
But then I got put in a position where...
I put somebody else's feelings above myself.
Hmm.
And once I got home, I was like, "I know this brother for a couple weeks."
"I was trying to know shorty for life."
Josh, I think...
You can tell Marshall. I don't give a goddamn.
You-- You're trying to get in my business.
'Cause I am trying to get in your business. What's up?
Because-- but imagine you being-- imagine you being
in love with somebody
and not being able to tell somebody because some other things happened.
That's so crazy that you're saying all this to me,
because I feel like we never talked about emotions in the pod.
- Oh, we didn't? - I feel like we didn't.
- We never talked about... - But you didn't tell me that--
We talked about emotions. We talked about real shit.
We were, like-- I felt like we--
- I had no idea. I had no idea. - Wait. Okay.
But if that's--
Then, why were...
Why were we always talking together?
I mean, we had a connection,
but you never was, like, super deep with me, super open.
It's beyond the...
the lights. It's beyond the cameras.
I don't give a fuck about none of that shit.
If you truly think you're gonna go walk up and talk to Marshall and be like,
"Yo, I do," then fuck it. Fuck me.
You know what I'm saying? Fuck me. I don't give a goddamn.
But if I walked out of here without telling you how I felt,
then what type of man would I be?
- I appreciate you telling me. - Yeah.
Thank you for being real.
If you're gonna marry somebody, you're gonna marry somebody.
But if you don't feel like... heart-to-heart you're really gonna marry somebody,
pick me.
Do you-- Are--
Are you gonna marry him?

I have no question you are the right person for me.
I'm so proud of us.

I love you with all my heart.
Will you say yes to me without your mom's approval?
I know you're happy, but don't fool yourself.
Clearly, I love him.
- You can't tell? All right.
- You can't tell? - Whatever.
What are you scared about? Your parents got divorced.
- Mine got divorced. - Right.
Like, I want it to feel fully right.
It's okay to change your mind in things.
Losing you is my biggest regret. I do love you.
I wanna be together.
I need answers. Josh, whatever that is. I need to know.
I think you're so sweet.
Just love me.
It's a big decision.
I just don't know, like, what he's gonna say.
I feel really stressed.
I'm definitely guilty of thinking more with my head than my heart.
This is ball game. Please stand.
You're the person that has everything to offer. Never settle.
Oh, my God.
Now is the time to decide if love is blind.
I think that the best thing that I can do for us
