It was the opposite of

Psychologists believe that

Ultimately, all decisions are yours.

You can choose who you want to
spend time with.

Once you choose the person you want to
spend the rest of your life with,

This is arguably the biggest decision

98

to the person that you've chosen
right here, sight unseen?

101
00:04:34,524 --> 00:04:38,444
Or will physical realities
in the real world sabotage you,

102
00:04:38,861 --> 00:04:42,240
and will you walk away from them forever?

We all have to remember
the central question:

106
00:04:50,873 --> 00:04:53,167
Is love truly blind?

107

of the wall, if I'm lucky.

The only weird part is that some of these

They can't say,

I've had a rigid set of standards.

I would only date a guy
between one to five years older.

I would only date athletes,
because I'm really athletic.

But I'm 34 years old,

158
00:06:45,822 --> 00:06:47,156
and I may not find someone

159

based on the criteria
that I've put in place for myself.

161
00:06:53,037 --> 00:06:57,125
and I want to have
the most perfect marriage.

162
00:06:57,500 --> 00:06:59,061
- [Mark] What's your name?
- I'm Jessica.

163
00:06:59,085 --> 00:07:00,920
[Mark] Nice to meet you, Jessica.
I'm Mark.

164
00:07:01,337 --> 00:07:02,672
Nice to meet you, Mark.

165
00:07:02,755 --> 00:07:04,674
Well, let's just get right down to it!

166
00:07:05,675 --> 00:07:08,052
Tell me about your family.

167
00:07:08,177 --> 00:07:10,555
Both my parents are immigrants.
They both came from Mexico.

168
00:07:10,972 --> 00:07:12,598
And I'm a mama's boy.

169
00:07:13,015 --> 00:07:14,600
[Mark and Jessica laughing]

170
00:07:14,684 --> 00:07:16,853
Okay! I'll make a note of that!

171
00:07:16,936 --> 00:07:18,688
My grandma had 15 kids.

172
00:07:19,063 --> 00:07:20,523
- You're kidding me?
- [Mark] Swear.

173
00:07:20,606 --> 00:07:22,286
- You know what I'm saying?
- That's crazy.

174
00:07:22,733 --> 00:07:26,195
I'm Mark Cuevas, I'm 24 years old,
and I'm from Chicago, Illinois.

175
00:07:26,654 --> 00:07:27,934
Both my parents are from Mexico.

176
00:07:27,989 --> 00:07:30,992
I'll never forget my first date
with one of my girlfriends in high school.

177
00:07:31,075 --> 00:07:32,785
She had told her dad that I was Mexican,

178
00:07:32,869 --> 00:07:34,269
and he opened the door and he goes,

179
00:07:34,328 --> 00:07:35,746
"Oh, you're not what I expected."

180
00:07:36,330 --> 00:07:38,332
And that's why I love this experiment,

181
00:07:38,416 --> 00:07:40,668
because it lets you really dig deep

182
00:07:40,751 --> 00:07:43,629
on who someone really is,
and not worry about what they look like.

183
00:07:44,046 --> 00:07:45,131
So, I'm 24.

184
00:07:45,298 --> 00:07:47,258
- [Jessica] I'm 34.
- [Mark] Okay.

185
00:07:47,341 --> 00:07:49,181
[Jessica] I never dated anyone
younger than me.

186
00:07:49,260 --> 00:07:51,260
- Really?
- I think every relationship is different

187
00:07:51,304 --> 00:07:53,389
and you have to take things as they come.

188
00:07:53,639 --> 00:07:55,141
[Mark] I feel that. Where you from?

189
00:07:55,641 --> 00:07:56,761
[Jessica] I'm from Illinois.

190
00:07:56,809 --> 00:07:58,644
- Me, too. What part?
- You're kidding?

191
00:07:58,728 --> 00:08:00,938
I'm from two hours west of Chicago.

192
00:08:01,022 --> 00:08:02,857
- Go Cubbies!
- I was about to say,

193
00:08:02,940 --> 00:08:04,650
"Oh, my God, she's a Cubs fan!"

194
00:08:04,734 --> 00:08:06,694
Huge Cubs fan, huge Bears fan.

195
00:08:06,777 --> 00:08:08,613
I'm a Bears fan till I die.

196
00:08:08,696 --> 00:08:10,823
[Jessica] Every Sunday, I dress up my dog.

197
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:12,408
Her name is Payton Hester.

198
00:08:12,742 --> 00:08:14,118
No freaking way!

199
00:08:14,202 --> 00:08:15,962
[Jessica] I dress her
in her Payton jersey...

200
00:08:16,037 --> 00:08:17,997
[Mark and Jessica laughing]

201
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,415
...and we watch the Bears.

202
00:08:19,499 --> 00:08:21,375
You know what?
I make the best Italian beef.

203
00:08:21,501 --> 00:08:23,336
- [Mark] Seriously?
- Oh! It's like...

204
00:08:23,419 --> 00:08:25,963
I'm starring your name with "Italian..."

205
00:08:26,297 --> 00:08:28,674
No, literally,
my Italian beef is the best.

206
00:08:28,966 --> 00:08:30,635
I'm smiling.
I don't know if you can tell.

207
00:08:30,718 --> 00:08:32,720
Oh, my gosh.
I'm so happy you're here.

208
00:08:32,803 --> 00:08:33,803
This is awesome.

209
00:08:33,846 --> 00:08:35,991
[Jessica] I came in here
open to doing this experiment,

210
00:08:36,015 --> 00:08:37,391
but I really didn't think that

211
00:08:37,475 --> 00:08:39,560
I would connect with someone
off the bat like that,

212
00:08:39,644 --> 00:08:42,063
and with Mark it was just instant.

213
00:08:42,146 --> 00:08:44,690
We're different race, we're different age,

214
00:08:44,774 --> 00:08:47,443
but we're definitely
cut from the same cloth.

215
00:08:48,861 --> 00:08:49,861
Bro,

216
00:08:50,112 --> 00:08:51,112
that was awesome!

217
00:08:52,114 --> 00:08:54,825
[upbeat pop music playing]

218
00:08:55,201 --> 00:08:57,912
[Lauren] It's fun meeting
so many different men

219
00:08:58,287 --> 00:08:59,956
who are ready to get married.

220
00:09:00,915 --> 00:09:04,085
The quality of men is excellent. [laughs]

221
00:09:06,796 --> 00:09:09,549
My name is Lauren Speed, and I'm 32.

222
00:09:10,007 --> 00:09:11,551
I am originally from Detroit.

223
00:09:11,884 --> 00:09:14,512
My mom calls me at least once a week

224
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,597
and reminds me that my eggs
are shriveling up.

225
00:09:16,681 --> 00:09:17,723
Like, no lie.

226
00:09:18,599 --> 00:09:22,103
I'm just really ready for my husband, and
I know that he's out there looking for me,

227
00:09:22,436 --> 00:09:25,374
and it's time for us to find each other
and quit playing these games, okay?

228
00:09:25,398 --> 00:09:26,398
It's time.

229
00:09:26,899 --> 00:09:28,317
- Hello?
- [Cameron] Hello.

230
00:09:28,401 --> 00:09:29,944
- I'm Lauren.
- I'm Cameron.

231
00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:31,696
Where are you from, Cameron?

232
00:09:32,196 --> 00:09:33,322
I'm from the state of Maine.

233
00:09:33,406 --> 00:09:35,825
I don't think I've met anyone
from Maine before.

234
00:09:35,908 --> 00:09:37,702
I'm the only one you'll ever need to meet.

235
00:09:37,785 --> 00:09:40,162
[laughs] I like that. I like that.

236
00:09:40,246 --> 00:09:42,832
- [Cameron chuckles]
- [Lauren] What kind of work do you do?

237
00:09:42,915 --> 00:09:44,625
I work in artificial intelligence.

238
00:09:44,875 --> 00:09:48,045
When you say "artificial intelligence,"
I think about building robots and...

239
00:09:48,129 --> 00:09:50,464
Yeah, I'm basically taking over the world.

240
00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,258
- That's awesome.
- [chuckles]

241
00:09:52,383 --> 00:09:53,884
My name is Cameron Hamilton.

242
00:09:53,968 --> 00:09:56,387
I'm 28, and I'm from Lee, Maine.

243
00:09:56,470 --> 00:09:58,889
I always hear,
"You don't look like a scientist,"

244
00:09:59,348 --> 00:10:01,142
which is kind of a funny thing because,

245
00:10:01,225 --> 00:10:03,102
like, what does a scientist
really look like?

246
00:10:03,894 --> 00:10:05,146
But, as a scientist,

247
00:10:05,229 --> 00:10:07,398
I'm a believer in this experiment

248
00:10:07,732 --> 00:10:10,651
that's removing the confounding variables

249
00:10:10,735 --> 00:10:12,778
of ethnicity, race,

250
00:10:12,862 --> 00:10:16,157
background, and the big one
being physical appearance.

251
00:10:16,532 --> 00:10:18,075
None of that matters.

252
00:10:18,743 --> 00:10:22,496
[Lauren] Would you say
that you're an introvert or an extrovert?

253
00:10:22,580 --> 00:10:24,707
I think I'm more naturally introverted,

254
00:10:24,999 --> 00:10:27,376
but I can be extroverted
when I need to be.

255
00:10:27,460 --> 00:10:29,003
- Okay.
- [Cameron] How about yourself?

256
00:10:29,086 --> 00:10:31,047
[Lauren] I think I'm a combination
of the two.

257
00:10:31,130 --> 00:10:34,050
When I am around other people,
I'm totally on,

258
00:10:34,425 --> 00:10:37,136
but there are times when I'm like,
I just want to sit at home

259
00:10:37,511 --> 00:10:39,889
watch movies and chill, and drink wine...

260
00:10:39,972 --> 00:10:41,992
- I couldn't agree more.
- ...and eat food. [laughs]

261
00:10:42,016 --> 00:10:43,392
Yeah! Do you cook?

262
00:10:43,476 --> 00:10:45,603
- [Lauren] I do cook.
- Okay.

263
00:10:45,811 --> 00:10:47,980
Would you make if we were on a date?

264
00:10:48,272 --> 00:10:50,316
Mm, I would probably make either salmon,

265
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:54,320
- or I would make some <i>peri </i>chicken, rice.
- Oh, yes.

266
00:10:54,403 --> 00:10:56,405
- There we go. Now we're talking.
- [Lauren] Yeah.

267
00:10:56,489 --> 00:10:58,032
- Do you cook?
- Yeah, I do cook.

268
00:10:58,282 --> 00:11:00,042
- [Lauren] I like a man who can cook.
- Yeah?

269
00:11:00,076 --> 00:11:02,679
- Yeah. That's 'cause I like to eat.
- I can cook for you. [chuckles]

270
00:11:02,703 --> 00:11:04,455
- So that's great.
- Yeah.

271
00:11:05,289 --> 00:11:10,044
It's definitely interesting not seeing
the man on the other side of the glass.

272
00:11:10,461 --> 00:11:14,006
They really have to get to know me
and my tone and my personality

273
00:11:14,090 --> 00:11:17,009
outside of, "Oh, she's cute,
her breasts look good."

274
00:11:17,093 --> 00:11:19,553
[Cameron] What are you really looking for
in a partner?

275
00:11:19,637 --> 00:11:23,557
Somebody who is supportive,
someone who's loving.

276
00:11:23,891 --> 00:11:27,978
I like when a guy hugs me from behind
and makes me feel, like, small.

277
00:11:28,062 --> 00:11:29,939
Yeah, that's good.

278
00:11:31,982 --> 00:11:35,736
- Gosh, I want to get to know you more.
- I know, I like you.

279
00:11:35,986 --> 00:11:36,986
I like you, too.

280
00:11:37,321 --> 00:11:39,740
I like your voice, too. You sound cute.
[laughs]

281
00:11:40,449 --> 00:11:41,449
[laughs]

282
00:11:43,327 --> 00:11:44,704
When am I going to see you again?

283
00:11:44,787 --> 00:11:46,122
Soon as possible?

284
00:11:46,914 --> 00:11:48,794
- I'll talk to you soon, Lauren.
- Bye, Cameron.

285
00:11:48,874 --> 00:11:49,874
[Cameron] Bye.

286
00:11:52,420 --> 00:11:54,463
[Lauren] My connection with Cameron
is very strong,

287
00:11:54,547 --> 00:11:56,507
and I feel like I'm a good
judge of character,

288
00:11:56,590 --> 00:11:59,051
so I'm feeling more comfortable.

289
00:11:59,135 --> 00:12:02,596
I'm feeling ready to
just continue with this experiment

290
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:05,808
and just meet more men. [chuckles]

291
00:12:07,685 --> 00:12:08,686
How's it going?

292
00:12:08,769 --> 00:12:09,769
Hello.

293
00:12:10,354 --> 00:12:11,354
Hello, hello.

294
00:12:11,689 --> 00:12:12,689
Hi.

295
00:12:12,732 --> 00:12:14,316
- [Mark] Hello!
- Hi!

296
00:12:14,942 --> 00:12:16,662
So, what are some of your
biggest turn-offs?

297
00:12:16,736 --> 00:12:17,862
- Turn-<i>offs?
- </i>[Mark] Mm-hmm.

298
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,032
Oh, my God. I hate, I hate, I hate

299
00:12:22,241 --> 00:12:23,659
being able to hear people breathe.

300
00:12:25,202 --> 00:12:26,662
What are you looking for in a woman?

301
00:12:26,746 --> 00:12:27,830
In shape,

302
00:12:28,414 --> 00:12:30,040
and beautiful.

303
00:12:30,124 --> 00:12:32,042
Oh, that doesn't sound shallow at all.

304
00:12:32,418 --> 00:12:34,920
If I had to guess,
I'd say you're African-American.

305
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,567
This is our first talk and you're already
asking me what I look like?

306
00:12:38,591 --> 00:12:39,592
You're missing the point!

307
00:12:39,675 --> 00:12:41,719
What makes you think I'm African-American?

308
00:12:41,802 --> 00:12:42,845
Just your voice.

309
00:12:42,928 --> 00:12:44,555
Who cares what my complexion is?

310
00:12:44,638 --> 00:12:46,557
I'm a woman,
that's all you need to worry about,

311
00:12:46,932 --> 00:12:48,058
that I don't have a penis.

312
00:12:48,142 --> 00:12:50,436
- Actually, no, I'm white.
- Are you?

313
00:12:51,103 --> 00:12:52,146
[mouths "no"]

314
00:12:52,271 --> 00:12:55,024
I've only dated black men before,

315
00:12:55,107 --> 00:12:59,028
but honestly, I'm the type of person
that I am attracted to personality.

316
00:12:59,111 --> 00:13:01,280
Not saying I want to marry Shrek
or anything like that,

317
00:13:01,363 --> 00:13:03,199
but if Shrek had a good personality,
I mean...

318
00:13:06,243 --> 00:13:08,496
[Amber] My name is Amber Pike. I am 26,

319
00:13:08,579 --> 00:13:10,164
and I'm from Augusta, Georgia.

320
00:13:10,414 --> 00:13:12,583
A lot of people don't take me seriously
because...

321
00:13:12,917 --> 00:13:15,211
I ain't ugly, so...

322
00:13:15,294 --> 00:13:17,838
And I've actually had
a few people tell me that

323
00:13:17,922 --> 00:13:20,341
they were pleasantly surprised
when they found out that

324
00:13:20,716 --> 00:13:23,010
I can hold an intellectual conversation.

325
00:13:23,093 --> 00:13:26,263
They're really shocked when they find out
there's more to me than looking cute.

326
00:13:28,766 --> 00:13:30,226
Oh, God. [grunts]

327
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:31,393
Hi.

328
00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:32,788
- Hey. Oh, God.
- [Amber laughing]

329
00:13:32,812 --> 00:13:34,063
I didn't know you were in here!

330
00:13:34,146 --> 00:13:36,357
[Amber laughing, snorts]

331
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:38,251
- Nice snort.
- [Amber] God dang it.

332
00:13:38,275 --> 00:13:41,362
I've got to stop doing that!
I told myself I wasn't gonna do that

333
00:13:41,445 --> 00:13:43,113
until the second or third date.

334
00:13:43,197 --> 00:13:45,237
- Well, it's cute, so...
- Well, thank you. [laughs]

335
00:13:46,242 --> 00:13:47,402
[Barnett] My name is Barnett.

336
00:13:47,451 --> 00:13:49,954
I'm 27 years old,
and I live in Canton, Georgia.

337
00:13:50,037 --> 00:13:52,248
I'm excited to get to know someone

338
00:13:52,331 --> 00:13:55,125
based off of getting deep
and down and dirty

339
00:13:55,209 --> 00:13:57,169
with them, emotionally. [chuckles]

340
00:13:57,711 --> 00:13:58,629
I'm Barnett.

341
00:13:58,712 --> 00:14:00,774
- Is that your first name or your last?
- [Barnett] My last name.

342
00:14:00,798 --> 00:14:02,925
But my real close friends call me that.

343
00:14:03,008 --> 00:14:04,552
[Amber] A lot of friends call me Pike.

344
00:14:04,635 --> 00:14:07,221
It's kind of an army thing,
but they also did it in cheerleading.

345
00:14:07,596 --> 00:14:09,014
Okay, so you're in the army?

346
00:14:09,098 --> 00:14:10,617
- [Amber] I was.
- And you were a cheerleader?

347
00:14:10,641 --> 00:14:13,644
I enlisted in the Georgia Army Guard
when I was 17.

348
00:14:13,769 --> 00:14:15,729
- I did eight years.
- Oh, wow.

349
00:14:15,813 --> 00:14:17,857
I'm so used to, like,
running with the boys.

350
00:14:17,940 --> 00:14:19,400
Like, I'm just so...

351
00:14:19,733 --> 00:14:22,152
off-the-wall crazy sometimes. [laughs]

352
00:14:22,611 --> 00:14:23,611
Oh, gosh.

353
00:14:23,821 --> 00:14:25,781
Yeah, so... [laughs]

354
00:14:25,865 --> 00:14:27,025
I always go for pretty girls.

355
00:14:27,074 --> 00:14:29,869
It's shallow to say, but it's the truth.

356
00:14:29,952 --> 00:14:31,432
I'm hoping this leads to something...

357
00:14:32,037 --> 00:14:32,913
more real,

358
00:14:33,038 --> 00:14:34,540
but this is different.

359
00:14:34,623 --> 00:14:38,419
I have no clue what any of them look like,
so I'm like... [sighs nervously]

360
00:14:39,169 --> 00:14:42,214
I'm nervous, but I like talking, so...

361
00:14:42,715 --> 00:14:44,091
Do you want kids, Barnett?

362
00:14:44,633 --> 00:14:46,319
- Do I have kids?
- [Amber] Do you <i>want </i>kids?

363
00:14:46,343 --> 00:14:47,261
Oh, yeah, I do, but...

364
00:14:47,344 --> 00:14:48,554
Wait, do you have kids?

365
00:14:48,637 --> 00:14:50,477
- That's a question, too.
- Not that I know of.

366
00:14:50,598 --> 00:14:52,474
- I mean... [laughs]
- [Amber laughs]

367
00:14:52,558 --> 00:14:54,059
I like it! Okay, okay.

368
00:14:54,143 --> 00:14:57,229
In the dating pod, I'm trying to see
if they hang with my jokes

369
00:14:57,313 --> 00:14:59,106
and my personality.

370
00:14:59,732 --> 00:15:00,816
Are you clumsy?

371
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:02,902
Generally, no. Lately, yes.

372
00:15:02,985 --> 00:15:04,403
What about in bed?

373
00:15:04,778 --> 00:15:06,780
Well, I ain't timid, that's for sure.

374
00:15:07,907 --> 00:15:09,074
I've never had sex.

375
00:15:09,158 --> 00:15:10,951
That's unfortunate. Next!

376
00:15:11,035 --> 00:15:12,119
[laughs]

377
00:15:12,202 --> 00:15:14,830
The hardest part is
not being able to see facial expressions.

378
00:15:14,914 --> 00:15:17,333
So I'm going to come off creepy
to some of them, probably.

379
00:15:17,958 --> 00:15:18,959
Hello.

380
00:15:19,126 --> 00:15:19,960
[Barnett] Hey.

381
00:15:20,127 --> 00:15:22,171
[chuckling] So, what's your name?

382
00:15:22,254 --> 00:15:24,190
- I'm Jessica, what's yours?
- [Barnett] "Jessica."

383
00:15:24,214 --> 00:15:25,549
My name is Barnett.

384
00:15:25,633 --> 00:15:26,633
[Jessica] I like it.

385
00:15:27,259 --> 00:15:30,095
All right, so I'm a big weirdo.
What's the weirdest thing about you?

386
00:15:30,554 --> 00:15:31,847
Oh, I like this.

387
00:15:32,806 --> 00:15:34,600
Like, you would look at me and think

388
00:15:34,683 --> 00:15:36,310
that I would be...

389
00:15:37,061 --> 00:15:38,061
really girly,

390
00:15:38,228 --> 00:15:40,356
which I have that side of myself,
for sure,

391
00:15:40,564 --> 00:15:42,650
but I actually dig sports

392
00:15:42,733 --> 00:15:45,277
and I definitely couldn't date a dude
that wasn't into sports.

393
00:15:45,361 --> 00:15:48,405
- Ew. I hate sports.
- You do not.

394
00:15:48,489 --> 00:15:50,699
I'm kidding.
I played baseball my whole life.

395
00:15:50,783 --> 00:15:52,368
- Oh, cool!
- [Barnett] So, yeah.

396
00:15:52,618 --> 00:15:55,204
- [Jessica] What position?
- Like, what's my favorite position?

397
00:15:55,287 --> 00:15:56,705
[laughing]

398
00:15:56,872 --> 00:15:58,958
Is that what you asked? I'm just kidding.

399
00:15:59,583 --> 00:16:00,417
I was a pitcher.

400
00:16:00,501 --> 00:16:02,503
- That was amazing! I love that.
- [chuckling]

401
00:16:02,586 --> 00:16:04,129
So, you're witty.

402
00:16:04,463 --> 00:16:06,674
- Alright, I see you.
- [Barnett chuckling]

403
00:16:06,757 --> 00:16:08,300
[Jessica] I see you over there.

404
00:16:08,509 --> 00:16:10,761
I have a serious question for you
around intimacy.

405
00:16:10,844 --> 00:16:11,845
[Barnett] Ooh, yeah.

406
00:16:12,096 --> 00:16:14,181
What do you think about...

407
00:16:14,974 --> 00:16:16,100
dogs in the bed?

408
00:16:17,142 --> 00:16:18,352
[both laughing]

409
00:16:18,477 --> 00:16:19,979
I am one, but... No, I'm kidding.

410
00:16:20,062 --> 00:16:21,438
Oh, my God! [laughing]

411
00:16:22,523 --> 00:16:24,483
[Barnett] My dog sleeps with me
every night, so...

412
00:16:24,692 --> 00:16:25,710
- Really?
- [Barnett] Yeah.

413
00:16:25,734 --> 00:16:26,735
I love that. Mine, too.

414
00:16:26,819 --> 00:16:28,445
Well, I'm just... I'm a big cuddler

415
00:16:28,529 --> 00:16:30,590
- and she knows it, so she just like...
- I love that.

416
00:16:30,614 --> 00:16:31,949
Are you the big or little?

417
00:16:32,658 --> 00:16:33,658
What do you think?

418
00:16:33,909 --> 00:16:34,909
Probably the big.

419
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,954
- Nope.
- You're the little spoon?

420
00:16:37,037 --> 00:16:39,915
Your dog is just draped over you?

421
00:16:39,999 --> 00:16:42,319
- I'm getting a mental picture.
- She puts a paw around me.

422
00:16:42,376 --> 00:16:43,836
[Jessica chuckles]

423
00:16:44,878 --> 00:16:49,466
I like Barnett's sexy voice and laugh
a lot.

424
00:16:50,050 --> 00:16:53,303
I kind of like that he gave off a vibe
that he was a player.

425
00:16:54,471 --> 00:16:56,724
We weren't necessarily getting deep,

426
00:16:57,182 --> 00:16:59,226
but there's an organic chemistry there.

427
00:16:59,935 --> 00:17:02,771
- It was nice talking to you.
- It was nice talking to you, too.

428
00:17:02,855 --> 00:17:04,982
- [chuckles]
- [Barnett] There was some good voices.

429
00:17:05,065 --> 00:17:07,317
I think Jessica had a nice voice.

430
00:17:07,484 --> 00:17:08,902
That's probably the sexiest.

431
00:17:08,986 --> 00:17:10,779
All these girls love my jokes,

432
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:12,114
every single one of them.

433
00:17:12,197 --> 00:17:13,824
You know, "Oh, next one laughed.

434
00:17:13,907 --> 00:17:15,451
There's my wife. All right."

435
00:17:15,534 --> 00:17:18,537
It's like whoever I saw last
is my number one.

436
00:17:18,620 --> 00:17:19,620
[chuckles]

437
00:17:20,622 --> 00:17:23,000
[indistinct chattering]

438
00:17:23,751 --> 00:17:26,003
I've been going on date after date.

439
00:17:26,086 --> 00:17:28,422
I have absolutely experienced
some instant connections,

440
00:17:28,505 --> 00:17:31,508
and my goal is to find out

441
00:17:31,592 --> 00:17:33,260
if there are any red flags,

442
00:17:33,719 --> 00:17:37,431
any deal breakers
that are on my side or on her side.

443
00:17:37,514 --> 00:17:38,599
Have you ever had a dog?

444
00:17:38,682 --> 00:17:40,768
- I personally have not owned a dog.
- [Aly] Okay.

445
00:17:40,851 --> 00:17:41,935
Does that rule me out?

446
00:17:42,019 --> 00:17:44,980
No, as long as you would never
yell at a dog.

447
00:17:45,064 --> 00:17:45,939
Who does that?

448
00:17:46,023 --> 00:17:48,233
Uh... [stammers] People.

449
00:17:48,317 --> 00:17:50,110
[Cameron] You know, I'm here to find love,

450
00:17:50,194 --> 00:17:52,863
and it's going to take more than
talking about dogs to do that.

451
00:17:53,572 --> 00:17:54,907
Jeez, I sound like an asshole.

452
00:17:54,990 --> 00:17:57,326
- [Barnett] What's your name?
- My name is Diamond.

453
00:17:57,409 --> 00:17:59,536
Diamond? Okay.
How you doing, Diamond?

454
00:17:59,620 --> 00:18:01,347
- That's my real name.
- [Barnett] I was gonna...

455
00:18:01,371 --> 00:18:03,874
I heard it in your voice, questioning it.

456
00:18:04,166 --> 00:18:06,086
So, which strip club do you work at?
I'm kidding!

457
00:18:06,126 --> 00:18:07,002
You know what?

458
00:18:07,086 --> 00:18:08,670
I knew you were going to say that.

459
00:18:08,754 --> 00:18:11,006
You're trying to lose points. Look, "-5."

460
00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:13,175
Hell, no! Barnett, uh-uh.

461
00:18:13,258 --> 00:18:14,593
Keep moving. [chuckles]

462
00:18:15,052 --> 00:18:17,805
A lot of girls will develop daddy issues
in the form of,

463
00:18:18,180 --> 00:18:19,640
"I need a man's attention."

464
00:18:19,723 --> 00:18:21,558
Instead of turning into that,

465
00:18:21,642 --> 00:18:24,311
I became my own
masculine influence in my life,

466
00:18:24,686 --> 00:18:27,856
I was a big tomboy,
like, I wanted to work on cars.

467
00:18:27,940 --> 00:18:30,234
[imitates snoring]

468
00:18:30,609 --> 00:18:33,862
[Amber] I wanted to build things
and make things with my hands.

469
00:18:33,946 --> 00:18:35,280
I wanted to be a bad-ass.

470
00:18:36,031 --> 00:18:37,031
Hello?

00:18:38,700 --> 00:18:39,785
[laughs]

472
00:18:41,370 --> 00:18:42,371
[Aly] Oh, my God.

473
00:18:42,454 --> 00:18:44,164
[Jessica] That was so strange
and awesome.

474
00:18:44,248 --> 00:18:45,833
- [Aly] Oh, my God.
- [Jessica laughs]

475
00:18:45,916 --> 00:18:47,167
Who are y'all feeling?

476
00:18:48,293 --> 00:18:50,379
None of them,
because it was through a wall.

477
00:18:50,462 --> 00:18:52,047
[Amber] I totally have a favorite.

478
00:18:52,131 --> 00:18:53,549
Favorite, favorite, favorite.

479
00:18:53,632 --> 00:18:55,926
You don't want to compare favorites?
I had one guy...

480
00:18:56,009 --> 00:18:57,386
What if we have the same favorite?

481
00:18:57,469 --> 00:18:58,512
I'm gonna fight you.

482
00:18:58,595 --> 00:19:00,430
[Amber] My favorite was Barnett.

483
00:19:00,514 --> 00:19:03,142
He made me laugh so much.

484
00:19:03,559 --> 00:19:07,396
He's really sarcastic and perverted,
and I'm like, yo... [laughs]

485
00:19:07,521 --> 00:19:08,897
That's me, friends!

486
00:19:08,981 --> 00:19:12,693
Like, once you figure out who they are
and who they are on the inside,

487
00:19:12,776 --> 00:19:14,921
do you feel like it doesn't matter
what they look like?

488
00:19:14,945 --> 00:19:17,656
I feel like once you get to know someone,
though, on that level,

489
00:19:17,739 --> 00:19:19,658
then they are more attractive to you.

490
00:19:19,741 --> 00:19:21,451
- Yes. I agree.
- Yes. Yeah.

491
00:19:21,535 --> 00:19:23,662
Before coming here for this experience,

492
00:19:23,745 --> 00:19:26,707
I definitely judged a book by its cover.

493
00:19:26,790 --> 00:19:29,918
It was definitely based on
a physical attraction first.

494
00:19:30,252 --> 00:19:33,005
I probably sound crazy saying this,
but in less than 24 hours,

495
00:19:33,088 --> 00:19:34,298
I have found, like,

496
00:19:34,631 --> 00:19:36,592
honestly, probably three potential guys

497
00:19:36,675 --> 00:19:39,303
that I can see myself with
for the rest of my life.

498
00:19:39,678 --> 00:19:41,013
Is anyone a virgin here?

499
00:19:41,555 --> 00:19:43,390
'Cause, like, somebody asked me that.

500
00:19:47,060 --> 00:19:48,060
Really?

501
00:19:48,145 --> 00:19:49,688
- Are you a virgin?
- [Taylor] I am.

502
00:19:49,771 --> 00:19:51,190
- [Westley] Really?
- Yeah. I am.

503
00:19:51,273 --> 00:19:52,107
[Westley] Wow.

504
00:19:52,191 --> 00:19:53,775
So, how soon is too soon?

505
00:19:53,859 --> 00:19:55,944
If right here says now,

506
00:19:56,028 --> 00:19:58,668
- and says the same to her...
- Sometimes right here is right here.

507
00:19:59,406 --> 00:20:00,240
My God.

508
00:20:00,324 --> 00:20:03,118
Every girl grows up
waiting for their Prince Charming,

509
00:20:03,243 --> 00:20:06,163
and I want to make sure that
this is it, that this is the one,

510
00:20:06,246 --> 00:20:08,207
and I'm willing to wait for it.

511
00:20:08,832 --> 00:20:12,586
What's the most times that you guys
have had sex in one day or night?

512
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,087
I would say four.

513
00:20:14,546 --> 00:20:15,464
Dang!

514
00:20:15,547 --> 00:20:17,341
- Is that a lot?
- Lillie Mae!

515
00:20:17,424 --> 00:20:19,968
- You wasn't in pain?
- [all laughing]

516
00:20:21,595 --> 00:20:25,682
[Carlton] Do you guys think it's important
to go there sexually with someone

517
00:20:25,766 --> 00:20:26,934
before you marry her?

518
00:20:27,184 --> 00:20:28,727
[Barnett] That's a tough one.

519
00:20:28,810 --> 00:20:30,938
- That's the rest your life.
- Yeah.

520
00:20:31,396 --> 00:20:32,272
Yeah.

521
00:20:32,356 --> 00:20:34,775
When it comes to marriage,
a great sex life is important.

522
00:20:34,858 --> 00:20:37,069
I expect to be pleased as a man,

523
00:20:37,152 --> 00:20:39,154
and I expect to please her.

524
00:20:39,488 --> 00:20:44,701
But here, I'm trying to choose the person
that I will spend the rest of my life with

525
00:20:44,785 --> 00:20:47,204
without even knowing
what this person looks like.

526
00:20:47,663 --> 00:20:49,122
That's absolutely crazy.

527
00:20:49,831 --> 00:20:53,335
Does size matter,
or is it the motion in the ocean?

528
00:20:53,794 --> 00:20:55,420
It's the size that matters,

529
00:20:55,504 --> 00:20:58,632
because there's no motion in any ocean

530
00:20:58,715 --> 00:21:01,593
without the thing
that makes the motion go.

531
00:21:01,677 --> 00:21:04,096
- If it's very tiny...
- Oh, my gosh.

532
00:21:04,179 --> 00:21:06,098
Why does it have to be <i>very </i>tiny?

533
00:21:06,181 --> 00:21:07,182
[Lauren] Like, damn!

534
00:21:07,933 --> 00:21:10,394
Very, very tiny, or...

535
00:21:10,519 --> 00:21:12,187
[indistinct excited conversation]

536
00:21:12,271 --> 00:21:14,356
- [Ebony] Goodness Lord.
- [Lauren] Oh, my gosh.

537
00:21:14,439 --> 00:21:17,526
What kind of traumatic experiences
have you had?

538
00:21:17,609 --> 00:21:18,902
You've got to check it.

539
00:21:19,444 --> 00:21:21,905
You've got to put the snake
back in the cage.

540
00:21:21,989 --> 00:21:24,157
Put it back in the case. [laughs]

[Diamond] I wonder how the guys
are doing.

545
00:21:35,794 --> 00:21:39,214
[Amber] Wait, what do guys do
when they can't play video games?

546
00:21:39,298 --> 00:21:41,550
[Kelly] "Yo, bro, I bet I can do
more push-ups than you."

547
00:21:41,633 --> 00:21:43,302
- "Go, bro."
- [Lexie] Oh, my God.

Now that you're all tired on that,
now let's do a push-up competition.

[Taylor] Yeah, I'll do it.

My name is Carlton Morton.

I'm 34 years old,
and I'm from Opelousas, Louisiana.

555
00:22:01,111 --> 00:22:02,487
I had a good night's sleep,

556
00:22:02,863 --> 00:22:03,864
I'm ready to date,

557
00:22:03,947 --> 00:22:06,616
and it's time to start narrowing it down.

558
00:22:06,992 --> 00:22:07,826
Hello?

559
00:22:07,909 --> 00:22:08,952
Hey! [enthusiastically]

560
00:22:09,036 --> 00:22:10,116
[chuckles] You sound happy.

561
00:22:10,162 --> 00:22:12,205
I wish I could get
that type of greeting every day.

562
00:22:12,289 --> 00:22:15,375
[laughs] No, I'm just... You're so funny.

563
00:22:15,584 --> 00:22:16,877
I kid with you.

564
00:22:17,294 --> 00:22:20,797
So I want to know, what are some things
that stand out about me to you?

565
00:22:21,423 --> 00:22:23,717
I wrote my notes down.
I'm gonna get them out.

566
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:24,634
Okay.

567
00:22:24,718 --> 00:22:28,138
Your personality's really good,
you have morals and values.

568
00:22:28,263 --> 00:22:30,849
Love that you love to travel,
'cause I love to travel as well.

00:22:31,224 --> 00:22:32,944
[Carlton] You know
I've never been to Vegas?

570
00:22:33,018 --> 00:22:35,228
- [gasps] You've never been to Vegas?
- [Carlton] Never.

571
00:22:35,312 --> 00:22:39,858
I can't wait to have that Vegas moment
where I'm standing on tables, partying.

572
00:22:40,108 --> 00:22:42,188
I see where you're going to
have your bachelor party.

573

If you'll let me.

00:22:43,487 --> 00:22:45,030
Oh! What you mean, if I let you?

575
00:22:45,113 --> 00:22:49,493
Look, I've waited for the moment
to fall in love for so long

576
00:22:49,576 --> 00:22:51,119
that I'm not messing nothing up.

577
00:22:51,203 --> 00:22:52,746
I am Diamond Jack,

578
00:22:52,829 --> 00:22:56,625
I am 28 years old,
and I am from Chicago, Illinois.

579
00:22:56,750 --> 00:23:00,504
I know I am an attractive female,
and I get a lot of attention from guys.

580
00:23:00,587 --> 00:23:04,841
Being a professional dancer,
it has led to some ups and downs,

581
00:23:04,925 --> 00:23:06,009
especially in dating.

582
00:23:06,093 --> 00:23:09,763
There have been guys out there
who only want to talk to me for my looks,

583
00:23:09,846 --> 00:23:12,046
or only want to talk to me
because of what I do in life,

584
00:23:12,099 --> 00:23:15,143
and I want to be with someone
who is going to really get to know me

585
00:23:15,227 --> 00:23:17,062
for who I am because, honestly,

586
00:23:17,145 --> 00:23:20,732
my mom didn't name me Diamond for nothing,
she named me Diamond for a reason.

587
00:23:21,108 --> 00:23:22,609
That's the thing with relationships,

588
00:23:22,901 --> 00:23:24,152
you have to be able to trust.

589
00:23:24,236 --> 00:23:28,073
You're a totally different type of woman,
and I appreciate that about you.

590
00:23:28,323 --> 00:23:30,742
If you were like,
"No, I don't want you to go to Vegas,

591
00:23:30,826 --> 00:23:32,285
'cause last time this happened,

592
00:23:32,369 --> 00:23:33,721
- I don't feel comfortable."
- [Diamond] No, no, no.

593
00:23:33,745 --> 00:23:35,414
That's another thing about relationships:

594
00:23:35,580 --> 00:23:37,374
What's in the past
needs to stay in the past.

- who mistreated you or cheated on you.
- [Carlton] Yeah.

597
00:23:42,170 --> 00:23:43,570
I'm a different person.
I'm Diamond.

598
00:23:43,630 --> 00:23:46,550
I will want my king to have fun,
live your life.

599
00:23:46,633 --> 00:23:48,343
- I like that.
- [Diamond] So, go to Vegas,

600
00:23:48,427 --> 00:23:49,928
and tell me all about it!

601
00:23:50,345 --> 00:23:52,264
I feel like there's chemistry
with Diamond.

602
00:23:52,806 --> 00:23:54,307
The way she talks to me,

603
00:23:54,391 --> 00:23:56,226
the way she makes me smile.

604
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:01,523
I am so anxious to dive deeper in
to see if she's the one.

605
00:24:01,982 --> 00:24:03,462
Would you want to go on another date?

606
00:24:03,525 --> 00:24:05,277
I will want to go on
another date with you.

have that emotional, strong bond.

I would say you're the conversation
I look forward to most.

614
00:24:30,927 --> 00:24:32,929
- Same. I...
- You swear?

615
00:24:33,013 --> 00:24:34,055
Yeah, I promise you.

616

00:24:55,285 --> 00:24:56,203
[laughs]

625
00:24:56,286 --> 00:24:59,581
It's weird how, like,
these girls are fluctuating in my head.

626
00:24:59,664 --> 00:25:01,625
- Hello.
- Hey, Barnett, it's Amber.

627
00:25:01,708 --> 00:25:03,835
Amber's scary. I really like her.

628
00:25:03,919 --> 00:25:06,880
I really like talking to her,
but she's kind of a little scary for me.

629
00:25:06,963 --> 00:25:11,551
I was the first person to
actually fire an AT4 round,

630
00:25:11,635 --> 00:25:14,387
and hit the tank.
Like, hit the target and blow the tank up.

631
00:25:14,471 --> 00:25:16,389
- You're impressive as hell.
- [Amber] I know!

632
00:25:16,932 --> 00:25:17,766
[Barnett] Golly.

633
00:25:17,849 --> 00:25:21,603
Trust me, a lack of confidence
is not a weakness of mine. [chuckles]

634
00:25:22,229 --> 00:25:24,040
- Are you having a good night?
- [Barnett] Yeah.

635
00:25:24,064 --> 00:25:25,857
- It's better now.
- Good.

636
00:25:25,941 --> 00:25:27,984
[Barnett] I think Jessica could be
wife material.

637
00:25:28,068 --> 00:25:31,363
I don't understand how
she could be single at 34.

638
00:25:31,446 --> 00:25:33,086
There's got to be something wrong, right?

639
00:25:33,573 --> 00:25:35,784
I haven't found anything wrong yet,
and I'm trying.

640
00:25:35,867 --> 00:25:37,869
I know everybody wants kids
and stuff like that,

641
00:25:38,328 --> 00:25:39,996
so, like, once we get married,

642
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,290
can we go ahead and start
or do we need to wait a year?

643
00:25:42,374 --> 00:25:44,934
Do we need to get to know each other
even more for the next year?

644
00:25:45,001 --> 00:25:46,920
I could totally... I'm not on a timeline.

645
00:25:47,003 --> 00:25:49,172
Okay. That's what I was wondering, like...

646
00:25:49,256 --> 00:25:50,316
[Jessica] No, look, like...

647
00:25:50,340 --> 00:25:53,885
I want to make sure that you're not here
just to start a family.

648
00:25:53,969 --> 00:25:55,095
I want to make sure.

649
00:25:55,178 --> 00:25:56,596
Okay, look, listen up.

650
00:25:57,013 --> 00:25:58,473
I'm a fucking catch over here.

651
00:25:58,557 --> 00:26:00,237
- [laughs]
- [Jessica] I'm a fucking catch.

652
00:26:00,433 --> 00:26:02,519
- I don't need your sperm.
- [laughing]

653
00:26:03,395 --> 00:26:04,771
I knew you were LC by your voice.

654
00:26:04,854 --> 00:26:05,981
You have a beautiful voice.

655
00:26:06,064 --> 00:26:08,441
A few guys have told me
I have a great voice.

656
00:26:08,817 --> 00:26:11,361
Dang it,
I wasn't the first one to say that.

657
00:26:11,444 --> 00:26:12,444
[LC laughs]

658
00:26:12,904 --> 00:26:17,242
[Barnett] If I had a wife,
I'd want her to be happy, free-spirited

659
00:26:17,617 --> 00:26:19,869
willing to be adventurous,

660
00:26:19,953 --> 00:26:24,374
and I think that is one of the reasons
that LC's been top of my list.

661
00:26:24,457 --> 00:26:27,294
How tired are you of
getting the marriage questions?

662
00:26:27,711 --> 00:26:30,022
- I haven't really gotten any marriage...
- [Barnett] Really?

663
00:26:30,046 --> 00:26:31,816
- You want to get married?
- [LC] Sure, let's do it.

664
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,842
- Alright, cool.
- [laughs] That was super easy.

665
00:26:33,925 --> 00:26:35,343
I guess we can go now.

666
00:26:35,802 --> 00:26:36,720
[LC laughs]

667
00:26:36,803 --> 00:26:37,803
I'm LC.

668
00:26:37,846 --> 00:26:41,016
I'm 26 and I'm from Tampa, Florida.

669
00:26:41,099 --> 00:26:43,893
I definitely want to get married.
Who doesn't want to feel loved?

670
00:26:43,977 --> 00:26:46,146
Like, that's just a basic human necessity.

671
00:26:46,229 --> 00:26:48,398
If you say you don't want it,
you're a liar.

672
00:26:49,065 --> 00:26:50,442
Go to therapy. Like... [chuckles]

673
00:26:50,525 --> 00:26:53,903
[Barnett] I'm not going to look as nice
as anybody else that would propose to you.

674
00:26:53,987 --> 00:26:55,614
But I'm the only one wearing shorts.

675
00:26:55,697 --> 00:26:58,033
I'm wearing ripped high-waisted jeans.

676
00:26:58,116 --> 00:27:00,577
[Barnett] I've never been a fan of
high-waisted pants.

677
00:27:00,744 --> 00:27:02,120
Don't waste a perfectly good ass.

678
00:27:02,203 --> 00:27:03,371
You're so forward, Barnett!

679
00:27:03,830 --> 00:27:04,998
You know what I'm into.

680
00:27:05,081 --> 00:27:07,083
[LC and Barnett laughing]

681
00:27:12,631 --> 00:27:14,591
- [Cameron] Hello.
- [Lauren] Hi, Cameron.

682
00:27:14,758 --> 00:27:16,301
Oh, I'm so happy it's you.

683
00:27:16,384 --> 00:27:18,178
I'm happy it's you.

684
00:27:18,511 --> 00:27:20,847
I was really looking forward to
talking to you again.

685
00:27:20,930 --> 00:27:22,530
I was looking forward to talking to you.

686
00:27:22,974 --> 00:27:24,934
How are you feeling right now? Tell me.

687
00:27:25,018 --> 00:27:27,771
I'm feeling like I had a few connections.

688
00:27:28,063 --> 00:27:31,303
I don't know if I should admit this, but I
felt the strongest connection with you.

689
00:27:31,816 --> 00:27:33,902
Oh, I felt a strong connection
with you, too.

690
00:27:33,985 --> 00:27:35,028
[Cameron] Good, I hope so.

691
00:27:35,111 --> 00:27:36,446
[both laughing]

692
00:27:36,529 --> 00:27:39,157
What was it that really drew you to me?

693
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:40,700
That your vibe is great.

694
00:27:40,784 --> 00:27:43,745
Like, I just feel a good chemistry
with you,

695
00:27:43,828 --> 00:27:45,121
like a connection.

696
00:27:45,205 --> 00:27:46,623
- It doesn't feel forced.
- Right.

697
00:27:47,082 --> 00:27:48,541
So, now you tell me,

698
00:27:48,625 --> 00:27:51,586
what's the most important attribute of...

699
00:27:51,795 --> 00:27:53,254
I guess that you want in your wife?

700
00:27:53,421 --> 00:27:58,301
Someone who's not afraid to
tell me things that are difficult.

701
00:27:58,885 --> 00:28:02,681
Someone who understands
the type of person that I am,

702
00:28:02,764 --> 00:28:07,102
because I think that
I'm kind of unusual in some ways,

703
00:28:07,185 --> 00:28:09,187
being a scientist but also...

704
00:28:09,604 --> 00:28:12,774
I worked as a firefighter for,
like, seven years.

705
00:28:12,941 --> 00:28:14,150
- [Lauren] Oh, wow.
- Yeah.

706
00:28:14,734 --> 00:28:17,570
I feel like I'm also
a pretty sensitive guy,

707
00:28:17,654 --> 00:28:19,572
which can be good or bad.

708
00:28:19,823 --> 00:28:23,410
I appreciate a man who has sensitivity.

709
00:28:23,993 --> 00:28:25,787
What's the last thing
that you cried about?

710
00:28:25,870 --> 00:28:28,415
My mom was diagnosed with
Parkinson's disease.

711
00:28:28,623 --> 00:28:32,460
So it's just some of the difficult things
with my mom.

712
00:28:32,752 --> 00:28:33,795
[Lauren] I understand.

713
00:28:33,878 --> 00:28:35,922
I'm really sensitive about my family, too.

714
00:28:36,005 --> 00:28:38,550
Sometimes I just love my family so much.

715
00:28:38,633 --> 00:28:39,718
I feel the same way.

716
00:28:40,176 --> 00:28:41,553
Oh, my God, I'm getting emotional.

717
00:28:46,266 --> 00:28:48,435
[Cameron] Yeah,
I'm getting a little emotional.

718
00:28:50,228 --> 00:28:51,229
Wow, gosh.

719
00:28:51,563 --> 00:28:53,648
Oh, Cameron, I wish I could hug you.

720
00:28:53,857 --> 00:28:56,693
- I would really love that.
- I know. I know.

721
00:28:57,026 --> 00:28:59,028
[soft piano music playing]

722
00:29:01,531 --> 00:29:04,826
I have never talked this much
about emotions in my life.

723
00:29:04,909 --> 00:29:08,955
Like, it makes such a huge difference
when there are no distractions.

724
00:29:09,038 --> 00:29:11,124
Like, there's no phones, no text messages,

725
00:29:11,207 --> 00:29:14,544
no worrying about what people think
or how we look.

726
00:29:14,627 --> 00:29:16,921
I mean, I'm sitting here, crying

727
00:29:17,005 --> 00:29:19,215
with a man who I've never seen before.

728
00:29:19,841 --> 00:29:23,011
And it's day two. Oh, my God.

729
00:29:23,094 --> 00:29:24,596
- Oh, my God.
- You look happy.

730
00:29:24,679 --> 00:29:25,847
[Lauren] I know I do.

731
00:29:25,930 --> 00:29:28,349
- I think I found one.
- What?

732
00:29:34,647 --> 00:29:36,733
We freaking cried together today, guys.

733
00:29:36,816 --> 00:29:38,794
- [Lexie] What?
- [Jessica] Wait, why? Tell me more.

734
00:29:38,818 --> 00:29:39,652
[Lillie Mae] Today?

735
00:29:39,736 --> 00:29:41,863
Yeah. So, we were just
talking about our family,

736
00:29:41,946 --> 00:29:44,449
and then we were both like,
"We're getting emotional."

737
00:29:44,532 --> 00:29:46,252
He's like, "Me too,"
and it was just like...

738
00:29:46,326 --> 00:29:49,537
We were just crying about
how much we love our families! [laughs]

739
00:29:49,704 --> 00:29:52,104
- [Lillie Mae] That is sweet!
- I was just like, "Oh, my God,

740
00:29:52,165 --> 00:29:54,643
- I'm really crying right now!"
- [Lillie Mae] That is so sweet!

741
00:29:54,667 --> 00:29:56,228
- I know, I thought so, too.
- I love it.

742
00:29:56,252 --> 00:29:59,339
I can't believe I just cried
in a pod on a date.

743
00:29:59,422 --> 00:30:00,507
[Ebony] In a freaking pod.

744
00:30:00,590 --> 00:30:03,009
[laughing] You cried in a pod!

745
00:30:03,176 --> 00:30:04,856
So is he your number one choice right now?

746
00:30:04,886 --> 00:30:07,931
Yeah, he is, for sure. [laughing]

747
00:30:08,056 --> 00:30:10,892
[pop music playing]

748
00:30:16,481 --> 00:30:18,066
There's never been a time in my life

749
00:30:18,149 --> 00:30:23,738
when I've been able to
really focus solely on finding love.

750
00:30:23,822 --> 00:30:25,240
Here in the experiment,

751
00:30:25,365 --> 00:30:27,909
you spend every second of every minute

752
00:30:27,992 --> 00:30:29,112
searching for your soulmate.

753
00:30:31,621 --> 00:30:33,021
[Mark] How's your day going so far?

754
00:30:33,081 --> 00:30:35,375
I had four hours of dates! [laughs]

755
00:30:35,667 --> 00:30:37,418
[Mark laughs] Yeah.

756
00:30:37,544 --> 00:30:39,379
[Jessica] I have talked so much.

757
00:30:39,462 --> 00:30:41,714
[Mark] I was looking forward
to seeing you.

758
00:30:41,798 --> 00:30:42,798
Me, too.

759
00:30:43,258 --> 00:30:45,718
We talk about so much stuff,

760
00:30:45,802 --> 00:30:48,179
but then we don't ask the big questions,
you know?

761
00:30:48,263 --> 00:30:50,265
Yeah, so, okay. So, this one...

762
00:30:50,348 --> 00:30:51,391
Okay, let's do this.

763
00:30:51,474 --> 00:30:54,477
This date, we'll dedicate to
asking the big questions.

764
00:30:54,561 --> 00:30:55,561
[Jessica] Totally.

765
00:30:55,770 --> 00:30:57,397
My last serious relationship

766
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,107
was with a guy who was 41.

767
00:30:59,190 --> 00:31:02,861
At that point in my life, I felt like
I was fast-forwarding my life a bit.

768
00:31:03,570 --> 00:31:06,010
[Mark] Is that what you're worried
that I'm feeling about you?

769
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:09,742
[Jessica] Yeah, I feel like you will be
in that position with me, probably.

770
00:31:10,326 --> 00:31:13,347
[Mark] Don't let that be something
that's sitting there being a block on you.

771
00:31:13,371 --> 00:31:15,582
[Jessica] Okay, I just want
to be realistic.

772
00:31:15,748 --> 00:31:17,041
[Mark] She's 34, I'm 24.

773
00:31:17,375 --> 00:31:19,544
I don't care. To me, age is a mindset.

774
00:31:19,627 --> 00:31:21,921
Like, integrity is everything to me.

775
00:31:22,005 --> 00:31:23,423
I'm definitely...

776
00:31:23,506 --> 00:31:25,758
super... Christian.

777
00:31:27,844 --> 00:31:29,804
[Mark] Holy shit,
we're the same fucking version.

778
00:31:29,929 --> 00:31:31,556
It's like, I want to raise my kids

779
00:31:31,639 --> 00:31:34,851
with religion, Christianity,
and, you know, be very...

780
00:31:34,934 --> 00:31:36,912
- Because that's how I was raised.
- [Jessica] Yeah.

781
00:31:36,936 --> 00:31:38,897
And, you know,
I have a tattoo on my ribs, like,

782
00:31:39,188 --> 00:31:41,458
it's a cross with my parents' initials
on the top and bottom.

783
00:31:41,482 --> 00:31:42,835
- My sister, my brother...
- [gasps]

784
00:31:42,859 --> 00:31:46,237
...on an empty plaque, so when I have kids
I can initial their names in it,

785
00:31:46,321 --> 00:31:48,615
and Psalm 19:14 going across it.

786
00:31:49,198 --> 00:31:50,198
I love that.

787
00:31:50,950 --> 00:31:52,160
That makes me happy.

788
00:31:52,535 --> 00:31:54,245
[laughing]

789
00:31:56,456 --> 00:31:57,999
- How many kids do you want?
- Three.

790
00:31:58,082 --> 00:31:59,959
- Three? I'm down.
- Okay.

791
00:32:00,043 --> 00:32:01,336
I want two boys and a girl.

792
00:32:02,128 --> 00:32:03,128
I like that.

793
00:32:03,504 --> 00:32:04,504
My face hurts.

794
00:32:04,547 --> 00:32:06,341
- Why?
- I'm smiling a lot.

795
00:32:06,424 --> 00:32:07,634
- You are?
- Maybe.

796
00:32:08,176 --> 00:32:09,969
That makes me so happy.

797
00:32:21,606 --> 00:32:23,483
[Jessica] I'm learning things
about myself,

798
00:32:23,566 --> 00:32:26,277
and I'm realizing
there are things I'm looking for

799
00:32:26,361 --> 00:32:28,780
- that I didn't know I was looking for.
- Exactly.

800
00:32:28,863 --> 00:32:31,282
So, this set of guidelines
that I came in with...

801
00:32:31,366 --> 00:32:34,744
"Oh, you know,
I want someone between these ages,

802
00:32:35,161 --> 00:32:36,746
and somebody who's into this."

803
00:32:36,829 --> 00:32:38,456
The guy that I'm into

804
00:32:38,539 --> 00:32:40,917
- meets zero of those criteria!
- Who knows?

805
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,295
Today, Mark told me that he has a tattoo
of a cross on his chest,

806
00:32:44,629 --> 00:32:47,256
and he has two openings for his kids.

807
00:32:47,340 --> 00:32:48,341
[LC] Oh!

808
00:32:48,424 --> 00:32:51,094
And, like, I want to be a mom
more than anything, too,

809
00:32:51,177 --> 00:32:54,806
and for me to know that somebody's ready
for that kind of a thing...

810
00:32:55,431 --> 00:32:58,101
I've never had those type of discussions
with anyone.

811
00:32:58,184 --> 00:32:59,477
It's overwhelming.

812
00:32:59,644 --> 00:33:03,815
For me, that age gap had to be,
like, the most real,

813
00:33:04,190 --> 00:33:06,025
<i>crazy</i> connection.

814
00:33:06,109 --> 00:33:08,319
Love at first s...

815
00:33:09,904 --> 00:33:11,155
- [LC] Talk?
- ...voice?

816
00:33:11,239 --> 00:33:12,407
[Amber and LC laughing]

817
00:33:12,490 --> 00:33:14,530
I would have never guessed
that I would've developed

818
00:33:14,575 --> 00:33:16,619
the feelings that I'm feeling
in a couple of days.

819
00:33:16,995 --> 00:33:20,707
Mark and I are really creating
a true soul connection,

820
00:33:20,790 --> 00:33:23,668
but sometimes I snap back to reality
and think about,

821
00:33:23,793 --> 00:33:26,563
what are my friends going to think,
what are my parents going to think?

822
00:33:26,587 --> 00:33:27,797
Mark is...

823
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,674
five years younger than my baby brother,

824
00:33:29,757 --> 00:33:31,718
who's five years younger than me.

825
00:33:33,219 --> 00:33:34,345
Alright, boys.

826
00:33:35,930 --> 00:33:37,370
- [Barnett] Hello.
- [Jessica] Hello.

827
00:33:37,473 --> 00:33:38,633
[Barnett] What's up, Jessica?

828
00:33:38,683 --> 00:33:42,061
- What are you doing over there?
- [chuckles] Nothing. I just got here.

829
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,314
Jessica, I really enjoy talking to.

830
00:33:45,398 --> 00:33:47,191
She's just so freaking cool.

831
00:33:47,275 --> 00:33:50,403
So if we were married, what would you
want your husband to be doing

832
00:33:50,862 --> 00:33:53,031
- when you came home?
- I like this question.

833
00:33:53,823 --> 00:33:55,491
It doesn't have to be anything special,

834
00:33:55,575 --> 00:33:57,827
but just to come home and have...

835
00:33:58,578 --> 00:34:00,455
you to hang out with on the couch.

836
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:02,081
Yeah.

837
00:34:02,582 --> 00:34:03,582
Just, like, arms.

838
00:34:03,624 --> 00:34:04,834
[Barnett] Yeah. Arms.

839
00:34:05,001 --> 00:34:08,755
Even if you've had a stressful day,
I just want you to look at me and be like,

840
00:34:09,088 --> 00:34:10,673
"I'm just so happy to see him."

841
00:34:11,924 --> 00:34:14,552
"You brighten up when you see me."
That's all I want.

842
00:34:15,011 --> 00:34:17,388
- That's exactly what I'm looking for.
- Yeah.

843
00:34:17,638 --> 00:34:19,640
[Jessica] I work really, really hard.

844
00:34:20,224 --> 00:34:23,936
Having something to come home to
is, like, the goal.

845
00:34:29,859 --> 00:34:32,570
I have never asked anyone
how they would be as a husband,

846
00:34:32,653 --> 00:34:37,366
but discussing that today with Barnett,
I thought was the hottest thing ever.

847
00:34:37,784 --> 00:34:42,121
After a couple of conversations with Mark
I decided, you know, this is my guy,

848
00:34:42,288 --> 00:34:44,457
but now I'm questioning that a little bit

849
00:34:44,540 --> 00:34:47,418
because I'm having
these really intense feelings for Barnett.

850
00:34:47,877 --> 00:34:52,131
At this point, I can see them both
being my husband, which is crazy.

851
00:34:52,799 --> 00:34:53,799
[exhales excitedly]

852
00:35:00,348 --> 00:35:01,474
[sighs deeply]

853
00:35:04,685 --> 00:35:06,437
[upbeat music playing]

854
00:35:07,563 --> 00:35:09,273
[men chattering]

855
00:35:09,899 --> 00:35:13,945
Being here is something that
is so extremely surreal

856
00:35:14,278 --> 00:35:17,073
and unlike anything
I've ever experienced before.

857
00:35:17,198 --> 00:35:19,659
Things that happen in a day here

858
00:35:19,742 --> 00:35:22,495
may take months or longer outside.

859
00:35:22,578 --> 00:35:24,580
It's a roller coaster ride of emotions.

860
00:35:26,207 --> 00:35:27,500
[Lauren] How are you?

861
00:35:28,167 --> 00:35:30,044
[Cameron] Oh! So much better now.

862
00:35:30,128 --> 00:35:31,128
[Lauren chuckles]

863
00:35:32,338 --> 00:35:33,818
I've been thinking about you nonstop.

864
00:35:35,967 --> 00:35:38,094
- Obviously.
- I've been thinking about you, too.

865
00:35:38,177 --> 00:35:39,804
I've been talking about you.

866
00:35:40,638 --> 00:35:41,514
Like crazy.

867
00:35:41,597 --> 00:35:42,640
[Cameron laughs]

868
00:35:43,057 --> 00:35:44,057
I love that.

869
00:35:46,519 --> 00:35:48,980
I've been, like, trying to imagine you.

870
00:35:49,397 --> 00:35:50,565
Obviously that's...

871
00:35:50,857 --> 00:35:52,567
kind of impossible, but...

872
00:35:53,317 --> 00:35:54,152
It is.

873
00:35:54,235 --> 00:35:58,072
In my mind it's almost like
you can see me, but obviously you can't.

874
00:36:00,324 --> 00:36:02,285
I'm just thinking,
"I have to look good for her."

875
00:36:02,368 --> 00:36:04,245
- But it's like, it's weird.
- [Lauren] Aww.

876
00:36:04,328 --> 00:36:05,746
You say all the right stuff.

877
00:36:05,830 --> 00:36:06,830
[Cameron chuckles]

878
00:36:07,206 --> 00:36:08,416
But it's true, though.

879
00:36:08,708 --> 00:36:09,708
It's true.

880
00:36:13,629 --> 00:36:14,964
- Cameron...
- [Cameron] Yes?

881
00:36:15,631 --> 00:36:16,674
I think I love you.

882
00:36:17,550 --> 00:36:18,550
I love you.

883
00:36:19,010 --> 00:36:20,010
[Lauren chuckles]

884
00:36:23,097 --> 00:36:24,097
Wow.

885
00:36:26,601 --> 00:36:27,601
I love you.

886
00:36:28,686 --> 00:36:29,812
I love you!

887
00:36:32,315 --> 00:36:33,399
Did we just say that?

888
00:36:34,525 --> 00:36:35,359
Yeah.

889
00:36:35,443 --> 00:36:36,444
[Lauren laughs]

890
00:36:37,862 --> 00:36:39,071
Oh, I can't breathe.

891
00:36:40,531 --> 00:36:41,531
Okay.

892
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:44,994
[exhales deeply]

893
00:36:45,077 --> 00:36:46,077
Are you crying?

894
00:36:47,079 --> 00:36:48,539
Just a tiny bit.

895
00:36:48,623 --> 00:36:49,623
[Lauren chuckles]

896
00:36:51,083 --> 00:36:53,628
It's all becoming, very very real.

897
00:36:54,128 --> 00:36:57,048
I've fallen in love with her
without ever having seen her.

898
00:36:57,423 --> 00:36:58,507
Part of me does think,

899
00:36:58,966 --> 00:37:00,051
"Are you being rash?"

900
00:37:00,509 --> 00:37:02,220
But it feels so right.

901
00:37:05,014 --> 00:37:07,183
It feels like I'm jumping out of a plane.

902
00:37:08,559 --> 00:37:09,852
Scary as fuck.

903
00:37:10,186 --> 00:37:11,426
- [Cameron] Yeah.
- But amazing.

904
00:37:12,438 --> 00:37:13,438
It is scary.

905
00:37:14,315 --> 00:37:15,399
But I trust you.

906
00:37:15,650 --> 00:37:16,776
I trust you.

907
00:37:20,446 --> 00:37:22,156
[Cameron] If we get married, then,

908
00:37:22,657 --> 00:37:24,158
you know, that's it for me.

909
00:37:25,326 --> 00:37:27,620
- Yeah, me, too.
- We have to make it work.

910
00:37:29,163 --> 00:37:30,163
We do.

911
00:37:30,873 --> 00:37:31,873
Yeah.

912
00:37:36,128 --> 00:37:37,171
[exhales]

913
00:37:41,801 --> 00:37:43,094
[Lauren] It's terrifying,

914
00:37:43,386 --> 00:37:46,931
thinking that something that
I've been looking for my whole life

915
00:37:47,014 --> 00:37:50,643
could possibly be with the person
that's on the other side of that wall.

916
00:37:51,269 --> 00:37:53,312
I feel like I'm falling in love
with a stranger,

917
00:37:53,396 --> 00:37:55,940
but, at the same time,
I feel like I know everything about him.

918
00:37:56,941 --> 00:37:59,360
I wish that I could...

919
00:38:00,695 --> 00:38:02,738
just kinda hold you right now.

920
00:38:03,406 --> 00:38:04,406
Yeah.

921
00:38:04,573 --> 00:38:05,573
Me, too.

922
00:38:06,242 --> 00:38:07,910
You're, like, four feet away.

923
00:38:09,370 --> 00:38:10,663
But I'm right here.

924
00:38:10,955 --> 00:38:12,039
Yeah, you're here.

925
00:38:12,540 --> 00:38:13,540
I know.

926
00:38:22,550 --> 00:38:24,802
[dance music playing]

927
00:38:26,178 --> 00:38:27,596
[Carlton] Hey, what's up, Diamond?

928
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:28,848
I've been waiting for you.

929
00:38:28,931 --> 00:38:31,392
Aww. I've been waiting for you, too.

930
00:38:31,475 --> 00:38:34,770
- I want to learn more about you.
- [Diamond] What do you want to know?

931
00:38:34,854 --> 00:38:38,190
- What do you want to learn?
- Your true, deepest, darkest fears

932
00:38:38,274 --> 00:38:40,318
as it relates to marrying someone.

933
00:38:40,651 --> 00:38:43,195
I like the fact that he cannot see me.

934
00:38:43,279 --> 00:38:46,073
I like the fact that Carlton is
really getting a chance to know me.

935
00:38:46,157 --> 00:38:48,075
I really like when he opens up to me.

936
00:38:48,159 --> 00:38:50,619
I think it shows that he trusts me,

937
00:38:50,703 --> 00:38:52,955
it shows that he is safe with me.

938
00:38:53,039 --> 00:38:57,084
It makes me feel like these are the words
I've been missing from a man.

939
00:38:57,501 --> 00:38:59,670
My fear is getting hurt.

940
00:38:59,754 --> 00:39:01,005
I have been vulnerable,

941
00:39:01,088 --> 00:39:04,175
and, in my past relationships,
I felt like I was giving my all

942
00:39:04,258 --> 00:39:05,926
and trying to make that person happy.

943
00:39:06,010 --> 00:39:09,096
At the end of the day, I didn't,
and that's why I'm here.

944
00:39:09,388 --> 00:39:10,388
I want to be happy.

945
00:39:10,431 --> 00:39:12,183
I don't want to be disappointed,

946
00:39:12,266 --> 00:39:14,560
- and I don't want to be embarrassed.
- [Carlton] Right.

947
00:39:15,269 --> 00:39:18,064
I've been taught to be strong,
I've been taught not to cry,

948
00:39:18,147 --> 00:39:19,273
I've been taught to...

949
00:39:19,732 --> 00:39:21,275
You know, I come from a strong cloth.

950
00:39:21,817 --> 00:39:25,196
Yeah. How do you think I feel?
It's like, "boys don't cry!"

951
00:39:25,279 --> 00:39:30,201
Like, that's constantly conditioned in
black men's heads since we were boys.

952
00:39:30,284 --> 00:39:31,160
I know.

953
00:39:31,243 --> 00:39:35,748
I have had to learn how to open up,
and it's okay to...

954
00:39:36,248 --> 00:39:39,043
be sensitive and emotional
and vulnerable.

955
00:39:40,586 --> 00:39:44,256
I'm a preacher's kid, and because
I'm so outgoing, I'm so outspoken,

956
00:39:44,340 --> 00:39:45,883
people see me and they say,

957
00:39:46,050 --> 00:39:48,344
"Oh, he must not be insecure
about anything."

958
00:39:48,427 --> 00:39:50,137
But sometimes, on the inside,

959
00:39:50,221 --> 00:39:52,515
I haven't always felt that confident,

960
00:39:52,598 --> 00:39:54,600
and I've always been
this hopeless romantic.

961
00:39:54,975 --> 00:39:56,769
I want to be loved

962
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:58,562
for who I truly am.

963
00:39:59,397 --> 00:40:00,481
Unconditionally,

964
00:40:00,564 --> 00:40:02,691
and without restraint.

965
00:40:03,651 --> 00:40:05,027
Wow, that's deep.

966
00:40:05,569 --> 00:40:11,367
My biggest dream is that I finally find
a wife who will love me unconditionally,

967
00:40:11,450 --> 00:40:13,285
who's kind of like that ride or die.

968
00:40:13,828 --> 00:40:15,663
But I have a big secret.

969
00:40:16,330 --> 00:40:18,249
At one point in my young adult life,

970
00:40:18,332 --> 00:40:22,378
I found myself attracted to
just hearts, period.

971
00:40:22,461 --> 00:40:24,171
Like, it didn't have a gender.

972
00:40:24,255 --> 00:40:25,881
It wasn't about sex for me.

973
00:40:25,965 --> 00:40:28,092
I dated guys and girls.

974
00:40:28,801 --> 00:40:30,469
But I want a wife now,

975
00:40:30,553 --> 00:40:36,100
because I feel like women
bring a certain, like, nurturing love

976
00:40:36,308 --> 00:40:40,229
and affection to the table that,
like, I don't get from a guy.

977
00:40:41,021 --> 00:40:45,776
My biggest worry is that I will
find someone that I am super in love with

978
00:40:45,943 --> 00:40:49,238
and want to marry,
and then, at the last minute,

979
00:40:49,321 --> 00:40:51,657
she will not be able to
walk down the aisle

980
00:40:51,740 --> 00:40:54,452
because she just can't
be married to someone like me.

981
00:41:08,382 --> 00:41:09,216
[Barnett] What's up?

982
00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:11,552
I'm the happiest I've been
in a very long time.

983
00:41:11,635 --> 00:41:14,054
It's not everything,
but I'm on cloud nine.

984
00:41:14,889 --> 00:41:15,889
Jessica.

985
00:41:16,098 --> 00:41:17,808
[mock laughter]

986
00:41:17,892 --> 00:41:18,892
I need a...

987
00:41:19,101 --> 00:41:20,203
- [Taylor laughs]
- ...drink.

988
00:41:20,227 --> 00:41:23,230
I'm the type of person
that can feel vibes and situations,

989
00:41:23,772 --> 00:41:25,900
and I'm feeling a shift in Barnett.

990
00:41:26,025 --> 00:41:28,527
And I realize that,
yeah, he's into Jessica.

991
00:41:28,611 --> 00:41:30,491
- [Barnett] Is this too much?
- It's too little.

992
00:41:30,529 --> 00:41:32,364
Why do you leave so much air up top?

993
00:41:32,573 --> 00:41:33,908
[Mark] That is out of my control.

994
00:41:33,991 --> 00:41:35,284
I came into this

995
00:41:35,826 --> 00:41:38,913
being open-minded to the idea that
I could possibly find love.

996
00:41:39,455 --> 00:41:41,790
What's exciting is that
I feel like I've found a person

997
00:41:41,874 --> 00:41:45,336
I could spend the rest of my life with
in a very short period of time,

998
00:41:45,419 --> 00:41:46,419
and that's Jessica.

999
00:41:47,630 --> 00:41:48,881
I want you to know something.

1000
00:41:49,256 --> 00:41:52,218
I don't let a lot of people
in my heart a lot. Um...

1001
00:41:52,510 --> 00:41:55,930
I shut down,
and I think I've always been like that.

1002
00:41:56,472 --> 00:41:58,807
When I walked in the room
from the first time I met you,

1003
00:41:59,141 --> 00:42:00,434
I knew...

1004
00:42:00,518 --> 00:42:02,061
It was just like, I was blown...

1005
00:42:02,144 --> 00:42:03,729
I don't know how to explain it,

1006
00:42:03,812 --> 00:42:06,690
but I walked around
the right side of the couch,

1007
00:42:06,774 --> 00:42:08,025
turned the corner,

1008
00:42:08,108 --> 00:42:10,361
and you said, "Hey,"
and I was like, "Yep, that's it."

1009
00:42:11,195 --> 00:42:12,571
I don't understand why.

1010
00:42:12,863 --> 00:42:14,365
I tried to press the brakes,

1011
00:42:14,448 --> 00:42:17,493
but you're the first person
that's ever really gotten me.

1012
00:42:17,868 --> 00:42:19,537
You're the cutest thing ever, by the way.

1013
00:42:19,620 --> 00:42:22,873
- [Mark] What do you mean?
- I just love when you get so passionate.

1014
00:42:23,290 --> 00:42:24,500
[Mark] What do you mean?

1015
00:42:24,792 --> 00:42:26,210
Ahh, I just want to hug you.

1016
00:42:27,545 --> 00:42:29,338
Kind of everything you say,

1017
00:42:29,630 --> 00:42:33,259
beyond anything I could have expected.

1018
00:42:34,426 --> 00:42:35,426
Like...

1019
00:42:35,970 --> 00:42:36,971
it was just mind-blowing.

1020
00:42:37,638 --> 00:42:39,473
[Mark] You know, my last girlfriend,

1021
00:42:39,557 --> 00:42:42,726
I had my heart broken and stuff.
And, um...

1022
00:42:43,686 --> 00:42:46,772
You know, I had gotten cheated on
and whatever, but it took this experience

1023
00:42:46,855 --> 00:42:50,484
to really just break down any kind of wall
that I thought I had about my heart.

1024
00:42:50,568 --> 00:42:51,568
And...

1025
00:42:51,944 --> 00:42:55,656
when I tell you, I really don't open up
like how I am with you to anybody, like...

1026
00:42:56,865 --> 00:42:57,866
I...

1027
00:42:59,785 --> 00:43:00,995
You know, I...

1028
00:43:02,538 --> 00:43:03,872
God. Um...

1029
00:43:07,126 --> 00:43:08,126
I want you.

1030
00:43:11,422 --> 00:43:13,299
You know, I ask you, you know...

1031
00:43:13,382 --> 00:43:15,262
Do you want to spend
the rest your life with me?

1032
00:43:15,509 --> 00:43:17,553
Like, where's your mind at?

1033
00:43:24,685 --> 00:43:25,685
[exhales]

1034
00:43:25,936 --> 00:43:30,065
We've come a really long way
in a matter of days, not weeks,

1035
00:43:30,524 --> 00:43:31,524
and...

1036
00:43:32,484 --> 00:43:33,819
like, I can definitely...

1037
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,616
see us walking out of here together.

1038
00:43:38,991 --> 00:43:41,493
I really can. [chuckles]
It's kind of weird to say that.

1039
00:43:41,702 --> 00:43:43,746
[Mark] That's what I'm talking about!
Whoo!

1040
00:43:43,829 --> 00:43:44,913
[sighs happily]

1041
00:43:45,205 --> 00:43:46,373
That's the cutest.

1042
00:43:47,833 --> 00:43:48,709
[chuckles]

1043
00:43:48,792 --> 00:43:51,211
I want to spend the rest of my life
with a real partner,

1044
00:43:51,295 --> 00:43:55,132
and I couldn't be more ready
to do that with Jessica.

1045
00:43:55,507 --> 00:43:56,425
I'm all in.

1046
00:43:56,508 --> 00:43:57,819
- We'll talk soon.
- [Jessica] OK.

1047
00:43:57,843 --> 00:43:58,843
Alright, bye.

1048
00:44:11,106 --> 00:44:15,027
I think today was the biggest checkpoint
of this entire thing.

1049
00:44:15,110 --> 00:44:17,946
- Yeah. Of course.
- [Mark] Like, "Fuck, this is real."

1050
00:44:18,030 --> 00:44:19,114
[chuckles] Like...

1051
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:21,718
Things like emotions are starting to
come into play for Jessica,

1052
00:44:21,784 --> 00:44:24,745
and then, like, real stories
were going underneath the surface.

1053
00:44:25,204 --> 00:44:26,664
It's all here now.

1054
00:44:27,581 --> 00:44:29,750
- Who's your number one?
- Don't worry about it.

1055
00:44:30,542 --> 00:44:34,254
It's stressful thinking that other people
have any connection with someone

1056
00:44:34,338 --> 00:44:36,498
that you thought you had
a really good connection with.

1057
00:44:37,424 --> 00:44:38,424
Jessica?

1058
00:44:40,135 --> 00:44:41,512
There it is. It's Jessica.

1059
00:44:43,263 --> 00:44:44,263
But...

1060
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,975
Mark's over here,
he's super excited about her.

1061
00:44:47,101 --> 00:44:51,397
Mark is a passionate guy,
and he's excited about Jessica a lot.

1062
00:44:52,314 --> 00:44:54,483
And he's 24, and she's 34.

1063
00:44:54,566 --> 00:44:57,444
I don't know if...
[whispers] I don't know if he's ready.

1064
00:44:57,611 --> 00:44:59,071
I don't know if he's ready.

1065
00:44:59,863 --> 00:45:03,117
The problem is, I haven't gotten
really deep or emotional with her yet.

1066
00:45:03,242 --> 00:45:05,345
- I've gotten a little bit...
- Now's your chance, man.

1067
00:45:05,369 --> 00:45:06,370
I'm nervous about...

1068
00:45:06,829 --> 00:45:10,708
being myself and and getting hurt,
and hurting people, so...

1069
00:45:10,791 --> 00:45:15,754
I'm also... I'm afraid of opening up
and losing that connection.

1070
00:45:16,046 --> 00:45:17,965
Tell her how you feel,
tell her what's going on,

1071
00:45:18,048 --> 00:45:20,467
break down the emotional
and give everything you've got,

1072
00:45:20,551 --> 00:45:22,845
because the pain of
knowing you didn't give it all

1073
00:45:22,928 --> 00:45:24,888
and you'll never know the answer
is terrible,

1074
00:45:24,972 --> 00:45:26,932
and you should avoid that at all costs.

1075
00:45:27,891 --> 00:45:28,891
Just do it.

1076
00:45:30,269 --> 00:45:31,895
This has made me so open, I feel like.

1077
00:45:31,979 --> 00:45:33,689
I actually am with you on that.

1078
00:45:33,772 --> 00:45:35,691
- Like I enjoy how...
- I enjoy it.

1079
00:45:35,816 --> 00:45:37,901
Yeah, we get to the essence of each other

1080
00:45:37,985 --> 00:45:40,446
and it's not like, "Oh,
I'm blinded by his blue eyes."

1081
00:45:40,529 --> 00:45:41,989
- Yeah.
- You know what I'm saying?

1082
00:45:42,072 --> 00:45:44,792
It's like, this is really what I want,
and laying it all on the line.

1083
00:45:44,867 --> 00:45:46,910
You tell me who you are, honestly,

1084
00:45:47,077 --> 00:45:49,913
and I'll tell you who I am, honestly,
and if you accept it, you do.

1085
00:45:49,997 --> 00:45:52,225
- And if don't, you're just not for me.
- Not for me, yeah.

1086
00:45:52,249 --> 00:45:53,959
Yeah, this has definitely changed my life.

1087
00:45:54,251 --> 00:45:56,420

00:53:52,437 --> 00:53:54,064
and, to me, that's terrifying.

1245
00:53:54,147 --> 00:53:55,857
I can't breathe. [chuckles]

1246
00:53:56,274 --> 00:53:58,401
[sighs deeply]

1247
00:53:58,860 --> 00:54:00,570
[sobs lightly] It's just scary.

1248
00:54:02,197 --> 00:54:03,448
It's just frightening.

1249
00:54:04,699 --> 00:54:05,699
That's all.

1250
00:54:06,201 --> 00:54:09,162
As the diligent scientist that I am,

1251
00:54:09,246 --> 00:54:15,043
I came into this wanting to test
that hypothesis: is love blind?

1252
00:54:15,502 --> 00:54:16,502
So...

1253
00:54:18,296 --> 00:54:19,506
it's a success!

1254
00:54:19,589 --> 00:54:22,759
I've met the person I want to spend
the rest of my life with.

1255
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,179
And I have no idea what she looks like.

1256
00:54:28,348 --> 00:54:30,350
[suspenseful music escalates]

1257
00:54:36,690 --> 00:54:38,316
[suspenseful music crescendos]

1258
00:54:42,279 --> 00:54:43,488
Oh, God.

1259
00:54:43,822 --> 00:54:45,073
[Jessica] I'm 100% in love.

1260
00:54:45,532 --> 00:54:48,285
And it didn't come from seeing someone
across the room.

1261
00:54:48,368 --> 00:54:49,494
who I thought was hot.

1262
00:54:49,577 --> 00:54:52,038
It came from really connecting
with someone

1263
00:54:52,122 --> 00:54:54,708
on a deeper level
than I've ever experienced before.

1264
00:54:54,791 --> 00:54:56,501
[Mark] Shit, I'm nervous as hell.

1265
00:54:56,876 --> 00:54:59,337
[woman 1] I don't know if I'm gonna laugh,
cry or pass out.

1266
00:54:59,421 --> 00:55:00,338
Oh, my God.

1267
00:55:00,422 --> 00:55:02,632
- Fuck.
- [woman 1] It's giving me butterflies.

1268
00:55:04,259 --> 00:55:05,719
- [sobbing laughter]
- Baby!

1269
00:55:05,802 --> 00:55:07,554
[Mark] Holy shit,
that's my fiancée.

1270
00:55:11,641 --> 00:55:13,768
[Jessica] He was definitely not
what I expected.

1271
00:55:13,852 --> 00:55:15,437
[Carlton] I've made a huge mistake.

1272
00:55:15,854 --> 00:55:18,774
When you really fall in love with someone,
the physical attraction builds.

1273
00:55:19,357 --> 00:55:20,734
[overlapping shouts and laughter]

1274
00:55:25,947 --> 00:55:28,107
[woman 1] You're not gonna let me go,
are you? [laughs]

1275
00:55:28,742 --> 00:55:31,578
[Carlton] The physical connection
is absolutely there.

1276
00:55:32,662 --> 00:55:34,502
[woman 2] I wouldn't change anything
about him.

1277
00:55:39,044 --> 00:55:42,255
[woman 1] Moving in with my fiancé is
gonna be another adventure.

1278
00:55:42,339 --> 00:55:44,692
- [woman 1] I'm always cleaning the place.
- [Barnett] Heard that before.

1279
00:55:44,716 --> 00:55:46,110
[mother] Why are you marrying my daughter?

1280
00:55:46,134 --> 00:55:48,094
Have you ever been in a room
full of black people?

1281
00:55:48,219 --> 00:55:50,388
I can't lose a love like this again.

1282
00:55:50,764 --> 00:55:51,681
It would destroy me.

1283
00:55:51,765 --> 00:55:54,726
I was fucking honest.
I didn't fucking deceive nobody.

1284
00:55:54,809 --> 00:55:56,853
You were so confused a week ago.

1285
00:55:56,936 --> 00:56:01,524
I want to make sure that you're doing
what's right for you.

1286
00:56:01,608 --> 00:56:02,442
Listen to me!

1287
00:56:02,525 --> 00:56:04,819
Stop interrupting me, please,
for the love of God.

1288
00:56:04,903 --> 00:56:06,464
[man 1] We're gonna go back
and look at this,

1289
00:56:06,488 --> 00:56:08,239
and be like,
"Did I make the right choice?"

1290
00:56:08,323 --> 00:56:10,408
[Diamond] Fuck you! Fuck you!

1291
00:56:10,492 --> 00:56:11,326
Fucker!

1292
00:56:11,409 --> 00:56:13,203
Do I want to marry him? I don't know.

1293
00:56:15,205 --> 00:56:16,581
Marriage is forever.

1294
00:56:16,664 --> 00:56:18,375
[Cameron] The stakes are high.

1295
00:56:18,458 --> 00:56:20,543
This isn't just some fantasy.

1296
00:56:20,627 --> 00:56:22,504
This is the rest of our lives.

1297
00:56:23,046 --> 00:56:24,798
[Lauren] White or black, tall or short,

1298
00:56:24,881 --> 00:56:26,299
too young or too old...

1299
00:56:26,424 --> 00:56:29,094
[woman 3] I always wanted to believe
that love is blind.

1300
00:56:31,262 --> 00:56:35,183
[official] Today, we're here to discover
if love is blind.

1301
00:56:35,266 --> 00:56:38,478
Do you take him
to be your lawful wedded husband?

1302
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:40,961
[woman 3] I don't know
if I can go through with this wedding.

1303
00:56:41,356 --> 00:56:43,024
[woman 1] I cannot do this!

1304
00:56:43,691 --> 00:56:44,771
Please stop recording this.
