It’s annoying right now that
I’m still not getting through to Daniella,
that I am a nice guy.
Obviously, on the bottom of the barrel.
Marco: Marquies, what about you?
Everything about me is consistent.
The only thing inconsistent
was Hali to Daniella, though.
It’s not inconsistent, because I never chose Hali.
That’s why -- That’s why when
we had that conversation on the couch,
I said 80% of my eggs were in her basket.
And 20% in on Daniella.
Well, because I only had
one conversation with Daniella. As did I.
Okay. But I’m 100% in on Daniella.
And I’m 100% in on Daniella as well.
He literally told Hali, "80%, like,
most of my eggs are in your basket."
What girl wants to be like, "Mm. I want that guy.
I got 80% of him.
20% on the other girl that I’m with." Like what?
All I know is that the one talk, I was 100% on one girl.
Yeah. After multiple talks, you were 80% on one girl,
and now you’re 100% on the girl you were 20% on.
Okay, I’m no mathemagician, but that’s 120%.
[ Laughter ] This guy here.
I’m not saying that you’re not a nice guy,
but that is a little bit of an f-boy tendency.
Everything about what I’ve said has been consistent, though.
And I made a tough choice
that I knew would put me in a vulnerable position.
My sense of urgency with Daniella is high, very high.
I wasted a lot of time pursuing Hali,
so it’s vital that I talk with Daniella as soon as I can,
because I’ve been on the chopping block twice now,
so I don’t want to make it a third.
So you have no other choice other than to switch.
Right, but -- Exactly.
But the whole time --
So if you had a choice... Right --
...you would have stuck with Hali the whole way.
I do have a choice. I had a choice the entire time. You don’t.
You can’t be 80% and then be 20%

the last time you came?
I wasn’t looking for a girlfriend,
but I was open to it. Okay.
When the right person comes around, you know.
My goal is to find someone special
and leave here together with someone.
Okay. That’s what I want.
My boy. What’s up, brother?
Don’t mean to interrupt you, but... Yeah.
I just need to get this little conversation
with Hali real quick. Is that okay with you?
It’s okay. Alright. Good to see you, babe.
Talk to you later. Alright.
Evander: Going into elimination, you can never feel too safe,
so I need to be more dominant and more assertive
and let her know that I’m not being complacent.
Looking good. I see your dress. Thank you.
I see the colors, as always.
Thank you.
So how has your headspace been? Where have you been at mentally?
I feel like things are going good.
I’m feeling your energy out.
It’s like, it means the world to me, honestly.
I appreciate you saying that.
I think I’m doing a good job of showing Hali
that I’m a nice guy.
I think she thinks I’m very genuine.
I can’t help but to smile looking at you.
Thank you.
But I definitely feel like I just want to just...
♪
I just can’t help it. Mm, I bet.
I think Evander’s a nice guy,
just too boring.
He needs to step it up.
How you boys feel about tonight?
Feeling good, man.
I just want some one-on-one time with Katie
I feel like our first date has been a month ago,
so I just need to get on that more, you know?
Yeah. So...
Marco: Coming into tonight’s mixer,
I want to confront Katie about the whole situation
and bring attention to the fact that Vince came in
and thought he had it in the bag.
I think Katie needs to know that,
and I’m going to say something.
Hali’s so amazing. Daniella’s great as friends.
I can tell they’re great human beings,
so I just wish the best for all three of you guys.
But right now, I just have to focus on you,
and I just know that there’s a lot of things
already surrounding the Vince situation
that I don’t want to, like, backfire on to you.
Wait, what does that...?
Okay, you can’t just like --
I feel like I’m missing something in that.
Yeah, I feel like most people are pretty happy
with their stuff with their connection.
Let’s go do it.
I just feel like, you know, there’s...
People are going to start twisting words
and they’re going to start like attacking people’s characters
and things like that, so I just want you to be like,
ready for that kind of stuff, ultimately. Okay.
Oh, speak of the angel.
Come take a seat for a second.
This is a big old group date now.
A little group date. Yeah. Oh, wow.
What’s going on here?
This is a whole group party.
SHould we...? Hi, everybody.
What’s up? What’s up?
Just chilling. Just chilling. I’ll sit over here.
This is my squad, minus one.
Where’s Benny? Yeah.
How everybody doing?
Seeing what’s up. How are you?
Why does it feel so tense right now?
Oh, no, this --
What? Stop. What? What?
There’s this awkward silence that just...
no one knows what to do,
and I feel like they’re coming for me, and I’m nervous.
♪
Why does it feel so tense right now?
Oh, no, it’s --
What? Stop. What?
Well, going into this mixer,
Marco, he approached me with a plan,
and I’m thinking about it.
Like, this low-key kind of sound like a setup.
Uh, Vince came in last night.
See y’all boys. Oh, bye.
You want me to embarrass myself in front of Katie?
You want me to get into it in front of Katie,
knowing that you were just up on the block
for a starting an argument and confrontation?
You trying to play me,
but I play a better game than you.
You’re not as smooth as me. Come on, Marco. Stop playing.
So Vince came in last night
saying some pretty outlandish remarks.
You’re talking about him right now?
Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
Just making sure I’m totally understanding
what is happening.
If you don’t mind. Do you mind? Do you want to...?
You want me to say what I said?
Yeah. I don’t want to put your words.
Okay, sure. That’s why. Yeah.
After our date -- You can fast forward.
You can say with the same energy, too, just the two words.
I don’t know what two worrds. What are you talking about?
Let’s just say, because he’s not saying.
He said "game over." Okay.
And then he looked at me and Benny and said,
"I feel sorry for whoever’s going for Katie,
because you should switch up your game plan
if you don’t want your heart’s broken."
[ Exhales deeply ]
It just came off as an f-boy tendency
of like he’s treating it like a game
and it’s not a game, it’s real life.
What is going on?
I had a great day with Vince.
How he handled it with you guys, I don’t really care.
What I’m going to do is I’m going to go to the bar
and get a drink. Yeah, for sure.
I feel like it’s something you guys should talk about.
I actually don’t know that this requires
my attention personally.
I can take you to the bar. I’ve spoken to both of them.
Alright, so you guys have fun. Yeah.
We’ll go get a drink. Yeah.
This is ridiculous. Yeah.
I was a little butthurt
when you didn’t come up to me and apologize.
[ Spaghetti western music playing ]
♪
I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings.
That was not my intention. Yeah.
[ Whip cracks ]
Okay. Yeah.
I can’t seem to hold myself back from the drama,
because I’m passionate and I care,
so I have to explain to Katie
that I genuinely want to start a relationship with her.
Yeah, Keem, myself, and Jonathan all agreed
that we felt disrespected by it, but could just move past it.
I mean, I don’t know if we can though,
because the difference is, Jonathan didn’t waste his time
talking to me about that at all.
Yeah. And Keem literally walked away.
Exactly, I got played. I got set up.
Because they were all saying it before and I fell for it.
I fell for Keem’s Trap.
I don’t need to be part of that.
I know. You’re absolutely right.
It sucks, because he is one of my stronger connections,
but the more that I watch him interact with these other men,
the more I’m just like, kind of turned off.
Elijah: How are you doing today? How was your day?
I’m good. It was good. It was a good day.
I always feel bad when I’m coming in
and I’m not taking... I mean, I was like,
yeah, well, you know.
But I will say like -- no, never. "She don’t like me, I guess."
I will say, you are one of my most consistent,
strongest connections.
I’m never thinking about you when it comes
to the elimination so far.
Mm-hmm. I would hope so. Right?
Thankful and blessed, and I really appreciate it.
I have so much gratitude to you.
Keem didn’t keep it gangster [bleep].
You didn’t keep it real.
And that’s what he’s been preaching this entire time,
which sucks.
I feel stupid. I got played.
Genuinely, I think Marco probably needs therapy or else
he’s gonna snap soon.
Like, he just looks like he’s on edge.
He left me out to dry.
I seen what happened.
Everybody bombarded you. That was weird.
I didn’t need that. I really didn’t.
Yeah, it was brought to me, like,
"Oh, yeah, we’re gonna --"
And I’m like, "Nah, y’all got it."
Yeah. I just want to put a smile on your face.
You got a beautiful smile.
I want to put that light on your heart, you know what I’m saying?
You do that, and I appreciate that.
And I appreciate you bringing it to me.
Sorry, man. I got to steal her away from you.
My man VInce.
Right, it was great talking to you.
Thank you. You’re the best.
I appreciate you so much. Okay.
Alright, bro.
Hey, trouble.
I know. Look at me, causing trouble over here.
Wow, you got a freaking target on your back.
I told you. I told you from the get-go.
Are you mad because you got played, or are you mad
because Keem didn’t have your back?
What’s going on? I’m mad at both.
I was upset how you said, "Come on, let’s go talk to her,
and then you left me out to dry and you were like,
’Alright, I’m out.’"
No, I didn’t leave you out to dry.
I just beat you at your own game.
I’m not playing a game.
Take the loss. It’s over with, bro.
I’m not playing -- Just take the loss.
It’s done. Okay, it is what it is.
So what the hell are you talking about?
Basically, the house went kind of crazy last night
after I came back from our date.
And, you know, I wanted to let everyone know, like,
how amazing our date was, and so I just --
I basically told everyone, like, for me,
I feel like I’ve found the one? [ Chuckles ]
I know that’s kind of crazy,
just having met, like, I don’t know.
It’s just kind of crazy.
Vince: I feel like my connection with Katie
is really strong right now,
and I just let the noise just take care of itself.
You look like you want to make out with me.
I mean...

You lead the conversation, so what?
If I led the conversation, then what?
Katie would be looking at me
just how she looking at your slow ass.
[Inhales sharply] Guess so.
And you know that you wanted that moment to be me.
You know that you wanted me to get into it with Vince.
You know you wanted me to make a fool of myself.
I was right there with you.
You tried to set me up, so I’m gonna play dumb.
No, I’m gonna play dumb every time.
It’s just you the real dumb one.
I guess I’m dumb.
It is what it is, man. I’m not trying to get into it.
I didn’t come for drama. I’m not, none of that.
Take it up with baby girl, you know what I’m saying?
Hi, guys.
More bad news?
I like that dress.
Thank you so much.
That’s not going to keep you here any longer.

Good evening, nice guys and f-boys.
Welcome to your fourth elimination.
Tonight, three of you will be leaving here,
and you’ll head back to your natural habitat --
clubs, gyms, the comment section of Addison Rae’s bikini photos.
Well, tonight is an important night.
Three of you will be going home
and will be losing your chance at love and $100,000.
So let’s get on with it.
Hi, ladies. Hello.
As you guys know,
each of you will be eliminating one of these men tonight.

So let’s find out which three of you
will be leaving FBoy Island forever.

Daniella, who is the first man in your bottom two tonight?

The first person I am
putting up for elimination tonight...
is Danny.
And who is number two?
Marquies.
Hali, who is the first person
in your bottom two tonight?
The first person in my bottom two tonight
is Evander.
And who will be joining Evander?
Pierce.
And Katie,
who’s the first person in your bottom two tonight?
Jonathan.
And who is number two?
Marco. Please step forward,
Marco, Jonathan, Evander, Pierce, Marquis, Danny.
♪
Daniella, tell Marquies
why he’s standing in your bottom two tonight.
For you to say to her that all of your eggs are in her basket
and then come to me and say, from the get-go,
you were here for me and attracted to me
and wanted to get to know me deeper
is a big red flag.
Whose basket were your eggs in?
Yeah. [ Laughs ]
Oh, God. He’s like, I’m all over every basekt.
My eggs are everywhere.
I appreciate the opportunity from both of you --
Hali, for you to allowing to pursue --
Leave me out of it, babe. It’s okay.
No problem.
I appreciate the time that I had spent with you, Daniella.
And I really believe you deserve the world,
And I hope you give me the chance
to give that to you.
Daniella, tell Danny
why he’s standing in your bottom two tonight.
Danny, this is the second time
you’ve been in my bottom two.
I don’t trust that you’re here for the right reasons.
I’m here for you, and if we can start
that romantic connection, that’s all I’m here to do.
♪
Hali? Yes.
Tell Pierce why he’s in your bottom two tonight.
Pierce, you are a ray of sunshine.
I love talking to you.
I’m just not sure that we have an actual romantic connection.
Well, do not worry, my dear friend.
I appreciate your kindness and your love.
Thank you, Pierce.
Hali, tell Evander why he’s standing before you tonight.
So we had a really strong connection starting out.
I feel like after our first date,
you kind of flatlined with me.
You were less affectionate.
You started showing up less in terms of effort.
I could not tell whether you were shy and uncomfortable
or you were just comfortable.
I really feel like that
if you let me get another chance,
I’ll be able to show you that I have that fire inside me
that will continue to build with us.
Katie,
please tell Jonathan why he’s in your bottom two
again tonight.
Jonathan, I feel like
we aren’t progressing the way I would hope.
I know that if I had a date, that’s just the little turn
that I need to kind of progress with you,
and I feel our connection is definitely special,
and I want to continue building that, if possible.
Katie, tell Marco why he’s in your bottom two tonight.
Here you are the second time
because you can’t focus on what we have
and instead you’re playing games with the boys.
It’s giving f-boy vibes.
And at this point, it’s your word against Keem’s.
I don’t really know what to think,
and that pisses me off.
I’m passionate and I care, and I want the best for you.
I’m not here for games. I’m here for your best interest.
If you give me another chance,
I will be solely focused on you.
I hope you know I am a nice guy, and I hope you see that.
Excuse me. Ooh.
I need to say something.
