Katie: The first time I met Benedict,

I have no idea now where he stands.

You literally was like, "I see you as my girlfriend."
How am I supposed to believe anything you say to me?

And you sit there and you try to validate my my concerns,

And you want to just sit there and just point blank

There was quite a few shockers last night.
Hey, girls. Girls: Hi.
How are you?
As good as we can be.
Yeah. You're in mourning,
I'm guessing.
Can we talk about Benedict?
He said, like, "I came here as one thing,
but I met you," you know? OK, then when did that happen?
When was the switch for you emotionally? Right.
Last night, I think it was very telling
when he said, "I thought it would be fun."
It also plays into the whole
Instagram stuff you saw and were like,
"Oh, is this about your career?" Yeah.
Or his lack of career, because there's money here.
Yes. Like, I'm sorry, I'm just gonna --
I'm done being nice.
Yes. You know, like, I'm here for my experience
and my journey, and this is supposed to be my,
like, redo for finding love.
And I'm not gonna let some f-boy ruin that for me.
Well, last night was eventful, would you say?
Man: Very.
[ Laughter ]
Very.
You guys didn't know?
-No. No, bro. -We did not know.
Man: I thought it was a joke.
Katie was visibly upset when I told her I was an f-boy.
And you know, it's hard to see that,
but I'm willing to do whatever I can to fight for Katie.
It's the only reason I'm here. I'm gonna fix this.
So for me, I had in my mind Mercedes was an f-boy
because he did this already as an f-boy.
Yeah. Evander threw me through a loop.
I just feel like they played me.
Like, I feel stupid a little bit.
Yeah. I came on to the island with a goal in mind --
to leave with someone that I can trust.
At the moment, I don't trust any of them.
Yeah.
It's hurtful to know that all my guys are f-boys.
I would like to think that I have better judgment than that,
and I just really don't want to open up
and give these guys another chance.
I really thought Jared was an f-boy that could be reformed.
I thought Christian was a nice guy.
And then C.J., it was a letdown to hear
because he has been trying and making efforts.
I just would have been so pleasantly surprised by C.J.
But I mean, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck,
it's usually an f-boy.
Obviously, you all know my character.
Y'all know I'm hella chill and down to earth,
so people probably wouldn't have expected --
or it was a little bit on the fence whether,
"Oh, I don't know if C.J.'s a nice guy or,
you know, but --

Yeah, I told you, bro. The dangly earrings.

I have always wanted to go on a carnival date,
but I'm not gonna lie,
finding out that all three of my guys are f-boys was very tough.
I don't know which of them, if any, that I can trust.
And there is money on the line now.
They have the power to take everything for themselves.
So going into this date, I'm pushing past my anger

she just seemed like she was fed up.
At that point, I don't even know
if I'd want to be here.
There's $100,000 at the finish line,
and all these guys going after her are f-boys.
Even if they say they're reformed or whatever
or now they're nice or whatever it is --
They may take that money.
She has, like, no safe space.
There's no one.
I would even consider leaving right now.
What's the point of trying to further these connections
and you're just risking heartbreak?
They're not looking out for the best interests of Hali.

and inch their way closer and closer to the $100,000.

I want you to stay.
I want to keep getting to know you.
Like, it just feels like a safe space.
I have feelings for you,

Christian: Hey, young Jared, let me holla at you real quick.
So I just want to talk to you real quick.
Because Daniella did mention about how you said,
"How is your relationship with Christian? Because he's boring."
She said that I said that?
Yeah. Hm. I didn't say that.
I said that you're more private, into yourself.
And whether she finds that as boring, that's on her.
So you're saying she's saying I'm boring.
I'm not gonna put words in her mouth.
I don't know what she said to you.
Christian is definitely shook right now
with me calling him boring,
but compared to me, he's boring.
My opinion on you doesn't matter.
Daniella's does. That's true.
So... That's all that matters.
Alright, brother. Alright.

Oh, Lord, C.J., give me something from the heart.
Just give it to me. We're limited on time here.
We can make this work.
I mean, I can see it.
I want to be 1% better every single day for her, for us.
And I'm gonna leave it out there all on the line

I'm not trying to just sell you something.
Like, this is actually, like, truly what I can see.
You want an adventurous life. You want to travel.
It's more of an upbeat, you know, kind of lifestyle,

And I just feel as if one day, we will be a power couple.
This is the first time since we've been here on the island

Please.
I'm not gonna throw Mercedes under the bus,
but I'm gonna give him a light push.
Mercedes sees things differently about life.
In what way?
He doesn't care about anyone.
I just think he's been here before.
He knows the routine. He knows how to deceive people.
He knows this game, and you can't trust it.
He's won the money before.
I think he's here to win the money again.
He understands the assignment.
To come back and secure the 100k.
Elijah and Evander came to me, trying to convince me
not to choose Mercedes.
Though I appreciate the information that they gave me,
they didn't say anything new or anything
that I wasn't concerned about myself.
But is elimination night. You know, scary night.
Scary time. So if there's any questions
that you have with me, literally anything.
OK. So question. Mm-hmm.
Who would you say is the best fit for me and why?
It's me.
You've already said that you want someone
who can match where you are.
I just feel like me and you hit all criteria.
And of course, I'm not gonna knock Christian.
I'm not gonna knock C.J.
They're great dudes. We're just all different.
You did say Christian was boring.
I say Christian was shy and reserved to himself.
If he's boring, if that's what you think,
I don't think that's what you're looking for.
Great answer. I loved it. Thank you.
Of course.
Wanna get another one?
Sure, I would love one. You can go grab one.
Yeah.

There's a lot of doubt planted in my heart

Tonight, the women will be selecting
their top two finalists --
the two they could potentially see a relationship with.
Gentlemen, please step forward.

We'll start with Daniella's guys.
Christian, why do you deserve to be in Daniella's final two?
Being a nice guy, some people take that as maybe I'm boring.
But what I don't think is boring is coming home to you
every night, not cheating.
And also what's not boring, I'm here for you.
How's that for boring?
Jared. Daniella,
ever since I got to the island and we met,
we had a genuine connection from the very first mixer,
the very first night that we talked,
and that's what makes it so organic and authentic.
Thank you, Jared.
C.J., why do you deserve to be in Daniella's final two?
Daniella, our relationship has truly been battle tested,
and you make me want to be a better man
for you every single day.
I just want to be your double black diamond.
Thank you, C.J.. Let's move on to Hali's guys.
E.J., why do you deserve to be in Hali's final two?
Hali, you showed me how I can be as a man,
how I can really grow up,
how I can really look into the future.
I'll put my neck out there for you.
Thanks, E.J.. Now let's hear from Evander.
Hali, you're such a strong woman,
and that's what I needed in my life.
I'm such a different person from my past.
I'm here for the right reasons. I'm truly a good guy.
And I know it may look like I'm incomplete,
but I feel like with you, you will make me complete.
Thank you, Evander. Alright, Mercedes,
why do you deserve to be in Hali's final two?
Hali, ever since I come in here,
I've had less time than these guys,
and I built a stronger connection,
and that should speak volumes to you.
I've only worried about what you want
and what you need in a man, and I know that's me.
And I just want the opportunity to show you that.
Thank you, Mercedes. Let's move on to Katie's guys.
Marco, why do you deserve to be in Katie's final two?
Katie, you have three great men right here --
two nice guys and one f-boy --
and I don't want to point trophies...
[ Laughter ]
All I'm saying is that he could take the 100 grand,
and I can't because I'm a nice guy.
Vince, why do you deserve to be in Katie's final two?
Katie, it's been absolutely amazing.
Every laugh, every tear we've shed --
these are all memories that I'm gonna cherish forever.
And one last thing. I just want the world to know
that I...
am in love with Katie.
[Bleep].
Wow. Wow.
Benedict: If you put bread in a toaster
and press the lever down, Vince falls in love quicker
than when it becomes toast.
Benedict, why do you deserve to be in Katie's final two?
Katie, look, I regret coming here as an f-boy,
and I'm telling you, I'm gonna prove to you
that I am a nice guy inside.
And I know I've been saying that, but I'm already changing.
I told you, I'm falling for you. I see you as my girlfriend.
And that's how I picture us off of the island together.
Our future is bright,

I think better Benedict and I could have had
a normal experience had he been a nice guy.
I think you just gotta go with your gut on this one.
Tonight, we have assembled for The Mansplain.
You're gonna tell them everything they need to know
and reveal all the juicy secrets
they neglected to tell us back before
when we remembered their names.
Mansplain could switch up this entire game.
He said he was "the best to ever play the game."
Christian may be a nice guy,
but I think that's just because 50K
is more than his salary. Somebody had to say it.
I don't think he matches up to you.
