♫ Last time I saw you, I couldn´t believe my eyes ♫
♫ Her sexy body just got me hypnotized ♫
SPARKLE: So it´s my first morning
waking up at The Groove Hotel.
And, wow, I´m feeling like J.Lo.
The sun is out, the birds are chirping...
[ Bird squawks ]
...and the guys are looking fine as wine.
♫ Ohh ♫
♫ Mamacita ♫
♫ Ohh ♫
♫ Mamacita ♫
What did you think about last night?
Oh, my God.
-Hey, babe. -Hey, girl.
-STEPH: You look tired. -Oh, my goodness.
-How are you? -That was crazy last night.
STEPH: Listen. First of all, thank you for holding me up.
SPARKLE: Listen. Thank you for holding me down.
-Always. -[ Laughs ]
It was so much fun.
What´s up, boys?!
MAN: Ohh!
-MAN #2: Whoo! -Oh.
Every corner, everywhere we turned, there was men.
-It was like ants. -Yeah.
And we were sugar.
-[ Laughs ] -I don´t remember.
It was so much going on last night, you guys.
It was hard to get deep with these guys,
but that´s what these dates are gonna be.
We´re gonna be able to, like, connect one on one.
No distractions.
Do you guys know who you want to go on dates with?
-I know where I want to start. -BROOKE: Yeah.
-Do you? -Oh, yeah.
I got to find adventure. I need to ask the concierge,
"What´s up?" so I can go on a date.
Well, you have fun, boo. We´ll see you later.
Yeah. Let us know what´s good.
-SPARKLE: All right. -Have a wonderful day.
Bye, pretty. I want to just tan.
-Yeah, I need a nap. -I swear to God.
-Where is this? -I need to eat and go to sleep.
I need a little nap. Ahh.
WOMAN: Mm...
[ Laughs ]
[ Bell rings ]
[ Up-tempo music plays ]
[ Woman singing in Spanish ]
Hello. My name is Pedro,
and I am the concierge here at The Groove Hotel.
[ Blows ]
[ Inhales deeply ]
And I only have one goal -- to make your dreams come true.
[ Bell rings ]
-Sparkle. -Hey, Pedro.
How can I help you with your groove today?
Last night was amazing. This place is beautiful.
I didn´t expect all this.
So, I want to go on a date
with one of those hot guys next door.
I want to be adventurous, but I also want to feel lavish.
-I want to pop some bottles. -PEDRO: Sounds good to me.
ick your date and leave everything to us.
You´re gonna be amazed.
That´s exactly what I´m looking for.
PEDRO: Sparkle wants adventure.
She has no idea.
[ Bird squawks ]
So has anybody here actually ever dated an older woman,
been in a serious relationship with somebody
-that´s significantly older? -Yeah. I´ve dated two, man.
I mean, like, one was about 15 years older than me.
-What about you, Josh? -JOSH: I dated someone
that was 18 years older than me.
-MAN: How was that? -That was great.
Not only did I date older women -- I was married to one.
Oh, you were? You were married to an older woman?
-So I was 21 years old. -MAN #2: Okay.
She was 59.
Oh. [ Laughs ]
Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
I feel like I´m the only one probably that hasn´t dated
nobody older. Definitely not telling
these guys that I´m here at The Groove Hotel with my mom.
It´s weird keeping the secret from the guys.
I feel like it´ll be awkward once they find out.
So I just want to just be undercover.
You know, just stealth mode.
AKIO: All the ladies are beautiful.
Like, all of them were dancing, having a good time.
Like, they all had, like, a good vibe.
But I really connected with Sparkle the most.
MAN: That´s your favorite so far?
Definitely. Definitely.
I´m locking in on Sparkle.
♫ Hey, hey ♫
-MAN: Oh! -MAN #2: Oh!
-MAN #3: Hold on now. -Hey, guys.
This is my first date in a long time.
How is everybody?
I came to The Groove Hotel
to reset and also tap into my hot goddess self.
MAN: Sparkle.
REMY: Sparkle, she emits a lot of confidence.
And, man, I love confidence.
Ooh, y´all look so good.
Look who´s talking. Wow.
I really want to go on an adventure.
-MAN: Oh. -I really...
We´re here for a good time.
...really want to go on an adventure.
GIUSEPPE: I would just love to get some time with Sparkle
and really show her who I am.
♫ Hey, hey, hey, hey ♫
Akio, you want to go?
-I´m down. I´m down. -Ooh.
-Let´s go. -AKIO: Let´s do it.
[ Laughs ]
-MAN: Yeah, go ahead. -Ooh!
-See you, guys. -MAN #2: Have fun.
AKIO: All right, y´all boys.
I feel special. I feel excited.
[ Sighs ] Words can´t even explain
how happy I am right now.
[ Woman singing in Spanish ]
Ooh!
This is beautiful.
I´m excited to go on this date with Akio.
-Ooh! -[ Laughs ]
It´s a beautiful day. We get to be on the water.
Wow. I´m feeling sexy. I´m feeling nautical.
-Yes. -I got you.
SPARKLE: I´ve never dated a younger guy.
-AKIO: Good? You´re welcome. -Yes, perfect. Thank you.
So let´s see how we mesh.
So have you dated an older woman before?
I have never dated an older woman.
-This will be your first time? -It´s my first time.
So, like, what do you think? How do you feel?
I mean, I´m liking what I´m seeing.
Yeah? And you definitely don´t seem intimidated
by the fact that I´m older than you.
-Want to know a secret? -What?
So my heart beating fast,
but I´m keeping it cool just for you.
I got to put on chill face.
I´m gonna move next to you, though. Get a little closer.
Sparkle, she got sauce, man. She got vibes, sexy.
-That´s all right? -Yeah. That´s good.
AKIO: Of course I´m nervous.
[ Scoffs ] What more could I ask for?
So I´ve got to ask -- Why are you at The Groove Hotel?
Well, I´m here because I´ve been in business for over 17 years.
I´ve been focusing most of my life on running my business.
This past September, I just closed the doors to my business.
-Yeah? What? -Thank you for that smile.
´Cause usually when I tell people that I closed
the doors to my business, they´re like, "Oh."
No, but that´s what you wanted to do.
That´s the new chapter. I´m ready to embark on me.
Yeah.
SPARKLE: I came here to get my groove back.
So I´m here, and I´m hoping to find it.
I don´t think you ever lost your groove, though.
I don´t think you lost your groove.
[ Laughs ] I might have misplaced it.
-Nah, nah, nah, nah. -I might have misplaced it
-just a bit. -I don´t believe you.
Akio is great. He´s handsome, he´s chivalrous.
I got you.
SPARKLE: You know, he´s being attentive.
He´s asking all the right questions.
[ Both laugh ]
AKIO: I want to be in a relationship.
I like being in a relationship.
I´m a relationship kind of guy.
You know, I definitely want to get married.
-SPARKLE: Yeah. -What about yourself?
I am open to being married again.
I got married right out of high school at 19,
and I was pregnant by 22.
-And I have a son. -AKIO: How old?
-He´s 22. -AKIO: Okay.
How does he feel about you checking in at The Groove Hotel?
SPARKLE: My son is always supportive.
My son is always supportive, and I think he would want somebody
-that would treat his mom right. -That´s what he´d want?
-Yeah. -Cheers to that.
This is great. This is my new life.
-Abuela! Abuela! -Abuela!
I´m owning it. It´s all about boat rides and choosing guys.
I could get used to this.
-Akio, look. -♫ Never want to leave ♫
AKIO: Oh, there it is. I see it. There´s a dolphin right there.
Look at it. You know they say dolphins are good luck, right?
-Really? -Yeah.
♫ Let´s get lost in paradise ♫
SPARKLE: Do you have any more questions?
Anything else you´d like to know about me?
-Um, yeah, actually. I do. -What? What´s that?
I was gonna go in for a kiss.
I don´t know, though. First kiss might...
You can go in for a kiss on my cheek.
I´ll try that. I´ll do that.
I´ll take it. I´ll take it. Mwah.
I don´t want him to feel that I´m not interested because I am.
-You´re sweet, you´re genuine. -Thank you.
But I´m not ready for that right now.
We´re gonna stick with the cheek. I´m feeling cheeky.
[ Laughs ]
-That was nice. -That was nice?
Yes. You got nice lips.
-I got nice lips? -Yes.
It´ll come. It´ll come. It´ll come. It´ll come.
One step at a time, you know?
SPARKLE: I came here for fun and excitement.
I definitely didn´t expect I would be feeling anybody,
but I am definitely in my feels.
Ahh! [ Laughs ]
WOMAN: [ Echoing ] Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, my gosh. Wow.
-Look at all these boys. -STEPH: Yes, sir.
BROOKE: After meeting all the men last night,
I´m really attracted to Cru and Josh Taylor.
Cru is on fire.
Okay, Cru, just bend over.
STEPH: Is that -- [Laughs]
Cru! Hey!
Don´t hide.
Whoo! Yes!
STEPH: Look at this. This is the love right there.
-Ey! -Look at him.
-STEPH: Okay, okay. -BROOKE: Yes!
Oh, my God. He´s gonna be fun.
I was a little surprised and nervous that he actually, like,
had the confidence to give me a kiss,
like, on the first night.
Maybe I will have to take him out on a date tonight.
-Sheesh. -Hmm.
But I also had a really great conversation
with Josh T. from South Africa.
And I´m not sure who I want to choose.
But it feels so great to have amazing, gorgeous guys
just kind of, like, at my fingertips.
You know, babe, I think I´m gonna go talk to the concierge.
-Okay. -Yeah. For tonight.
STEPH: I´m gonna stay up here with the sexy time.
What´s up, fellas?
[ Man breathing heavily ]
[ Birds chirping ]
BROOKE: I´m about to embark on my first date
of this whole journey, and I´m a little beside myself.
I have these anxious feelings and nerves.
What scares me the most is falling for the wrong guy.
And there´s that big chance of being disappointed at the end.
-MAN: Oh! -Oh, my gosh.
Hi, guys.
JOSH T.: I think I deserve a date today
because I´m a very unique person.
And I think there´s a lot to me.
BROOKE: You guys look a little bored.
What are you guys talking about?
-Come on in. Slide on in. -Hi!
JOSH T.: I have a lot of capacity for love.
And I think most women want that in a guy.
Wow. You guys look good.
CRU: I actually really like Brooke.
We have this energy between us.
I´m a chemistry guy. And an aura, energy.
So if it´s there, it´s there.
I´m here to ask someone on a date.
So, um...Cru.
-Really? -BROOKE: Yeah.
-Would you like to go on a date? -Hell yeah. I would love to.
-BROOKE: All right. Let´s go. -Right now?
BROOKE: Yeah, right now. Are you ready?
I am. Give me a hug first. Thank you.
JOSH T.: I don´t see Cru as competition, to be honest.
because a woman at Brooke´s age, she wants a man with stability.
He´s been a tattoo artist for a month.
-CRU: All right. Bye, boys. -BROOKE: All right.
We´ll see you later.
JOSH T.: Meanwhile, I´m in a good career. I´m in finance.
I know what I want out of life.
I´m confident she´s gonna realize I´m the better man.
[ Animal howls ]
[ Up-tempo music plays ]
-[ Door opens ] -Eeeee, baby!
-Hi, babe. -Girl.
I want to know. I want to know. I want to know.
-Give me the tea. -It was a good date.
Yooooo!
-[ Laughs ] -MAN: How was it?
It was good, bro. We went on a boat, bro.
Dolphins started to come in.
The vibe was, like, genuine. It was real.
-Yeah? -I really like him.
Our connection, bro? Elevated.
Like an elevator, top floor.
What was one thing that you learned about her today?
So I learned she does have a son.
Um, he´s 21 years old.
-That´s Steven´s age, bro. -Oh!
He went to school with Steven.
[ Laughter ]
STEVEN: They have no idea whatsoever.
I´m just not gonna reveal it yet, but in due time.
So I wonder what Brooke´s doing.
STEPH: I think that she left with Cru.
-SPARKLE: She went on a date? -She´s on a date right now.
CRU: Are you excited?
BROOKE: I am so excited. Look at this.
I´ve dated my age, and there´s always
a little something missing.
This is, like, our second date.
BROOKE: Right. It is.
Watch your step.
BROOKE: Cru is fun, and I like that.
But I kind of want to see a little more of his maturity.
-Wow. -CRU: Oh, hell, yeah.
♫ You make me feel alive ♫
BROOKE: It´s really important for me to share my life.
I really hope that we dig deep and get a little closer.
-Oh. -Oh, my God.
You are right here, my dear.
Going on a date with an older woman, I´m open-minded.
-I´m here for the experience. -Thank you so much.
Tonight, I want to let Brooke know that I´m here for her.
Where are we? I think this is, like, a fortress.
I´m kind of a one-lady-at-a-time type of guy.
And from the get-go, it was Brooke.
I´m excited to get to know you because you got good energy,
-good aura. -Yeah?
Yeah. That´s why I was very intrigued by you, too.
I could tell you were very excited about life.
Good. I´m glad that comes off.
And that´s what I need. That´s what I´m looking for.
Our journey literally brought us here.
We are here at this moment.
Like, everything happens for a reason.
Yeah, I´m a believer in that, for sure.
I know you kind of talked about tattooing.
You actually tattoo people?
-I tattooed myself, too. -You did?
Yeah. I would show you, but I´d have to take my pants off.
-Oh, we´ll save that for later. -Right.
-And you got yours, too. -So this is my first and only.
First and only. There we go.
It says, "I carry your heart. I carry it in my heart."
It´s very special to me because...
in 2020, I was pregnant.
I was in a relationship and about to have a baby,
and at five months pregnant,
there was severe complications, and I lost her.
I was having a baby girl.
So you knew it was gonna be a her?
Yeah. It was something that I wanted so badly.
-Right. -And, you know,
after I lost her, the relationship
I was in, you know, fell apart.
And I went from mourning the loss of my baby
to mourning the relationship.
And it was a nightmare. It really was.
It was really hard to pick myself up out of bed and...
[Voice breaking ] just keep going.
-I´m still grieving. -Mm-hmm.
BROOKE: It´s not easy.
I´m taking every day as it comes,
and I´m trying to be very present in every moment.
Because you´ve been going through it by yourself.
-Yeah. -You´re a trouper.
And you need a support system.
Everybody needs a support system.
I´m a huge believer in closing one door
and another opens. And I´m so grateful
that there´s this whole new world opening up for me.
I´m just kind of ready for all the beautiful things life
still has to offer for me.
No, they say your traumas, your wounds,
your trials lead you to your passion, your purpose.
Yeah. So I´m here.
-We´re here. You made it. -I´m excited.
Still looking for love.
CRU: I don´t have eyes for anybody else.
I´m very straightforward. And you have this journey
you get to go through. I want to be with you in it.
And we´re here.
It´s not easy for me to share
all the things I´ve been through.
-Let´s go take a walk. -Oh, look at that.
BROOKE: But Cru just makes me feel so safe.
This fortress is never-ending. Oh, watch your step.
I thought he was just gonna be, like, this fun guy.
But there´s so much depth in him.
Fortress. Close up on the cannon.
Oh, my God. Look at this.
-[ Firework explodes ] -My God.
-What was that? -CRU: Oh, no way.
BROOKE: Oh, my God.
-Look at that. Are there more? -Really?
-Is there more? -Oh, my God.
CRU: Is that it?
[ Laughing ] We get one firework?
-I think that´s it. -This is amazing.
-[ Gasps ] -Oh.
-Oh, my God. -Fireworks and everything.
Wow.
This is amazing.
♫ But are you the one? ♫
♫ I don´t want to rush you, babe, ´cause this is forever ♫
♫ And now I´ve found a love ♫
CRU: Brooke is amazing. I did not expect
to find someone like her coming into this experience.
♫ ´Cause I´ve never felt like this ♫
♫ Until we kissed ♫
CRU: She´s been through a lot during the past two years,
and the fact that she´s able to be vulnerable enough,
she has a soul.
♫ Been waiting all my life for someone like you ♫
BROOKE: Oh. Wow.
If I find love here, honestly, like,
this is a fairy tale, and I want more of it.
STEPH: I was really nervous when I was coming to The Groove Hotel
because I didn´t know what to expect.
But now I want to have one of those dates, too,
you know, and I´m really excited about it.
So now I got, like, ants into my pants. I´m ready to go.
Just being cancer-free,
I just have a completely different appreciation for life.
I´ve been through a lot of shit,
and I just want to just have some fun.
Two people went on dates. There´s one left.
-MAN: For dizzle, my nizzle. -Yeah!
What´s up?! What´s up?!
[ Men cheering, clapping ]
MAN #2: Hey, here comes shorty, man.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Leroy: Steph´s looking super-sexy, man.
Like, I´m just hoping she chooses me for a date, man.
-Oh, how are you doing? -I´m good.
[ Purrs ]
-How you guys feeling? -We good.
I love Steph´s vibe. Steph is so dope.
I´m a very competitive person, and I do not like to lose.
This is a competition, bro.
What about Tashi, man? Hey, Tash.
You all in with Steph?
TASHI: Yes. All in, all in, all in.
I want Steph to choose me on her date
because she has so much energy and she´s full of life,
and she has a great body.
Tash will get his time. Just not today, baby. That´s cool.
Just not today, baby. He good.
So I want to go do something fun.
-We out? We out! -We out then.
Ahhhh!
-MAN: Hey! Hey! Hey! -Uh, ey! Ey-ey!
MAN #2: Yeah.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
MAN #3: Oh, my God.
She came here for a good time.
I´m gonna provide it for her.
-[ Laughs ] Vámonos. -See you all later!
-Hey, keep my shorty safe, bro. -Hey, hey, hey.
I don´t know where she at. Where she at? Where she at?
[ Laughs ] That was that.
I feel like Leroy is -- He´s a comedian.
And she wants to have some fun today.
But if she wants to get intimate,
-I´m the one here for her. -Whoa! Ho-ho-ho-ho!
[ Engine starts ]
-Go. -Go, baby!
-Can you hear me? -Ahh!
-[ Speaks indistinctly ] -Watch your head.
[ Both scream ]
They´re trying to take us out.
They´re trying to get us out the way.
Straighten up.
STEPH: I decided to bring Leroy with me on this date today
because the other night at the mixer,
he just had this great energy. And I knew that
if I was gonna do something fun and exciting,
he would be the person to do it with.
-[ Laughs ] -Going pedal to the metal.
-Oh! -STEPH: Ohhhhh!
Oh, no!
Getting a little fast.
STEPH: This is exactly what I needed.
Like, I needed some fun. I needed an adrenaline rush.
I needed to get my blood pumping.
[ Speaks indistinctly ]
Go to our doom? [ Laughs ]
You ready to kick off a flip? All right.
[ Both scream ]
-[ Laughs ] -Aah! Mayday!
Mayday! Somebody get help!
STEPH: I think I swallowed, like, 40 bugs
because I was, like [Laughs] like, the whole time.
Like my stomach hurts from laughing so much.
Watch the poison ivy.
Don´t let [Laughs] Oh, are these stairs?
LEROY: Yeah, these are little stairs.
STEPH: How you know where you going?
LEROY: I don´t know. I´m following this.
[ Steph laughs ]
[ Man singing in Spanish ]
-It´s right here. -STEPH: Oh, this is lit.
LEROY: This is kind of lit. It´s, like, tranquil.
So where are you from originally?
Originally I´m from the Bronx. From New York.
I moved down to Miami,
so I live in Miami now, my son and I.
-Okay, so you have a son? -I do.
-I have a 22-year-old. -Oh.
So he´s -- And he´s a good dude.
You know what I´m saying? What about you? You have kids?
Nah, I do not have kids, but...
-Do you want kids? -Yeah, I do want kids.
-Later on. You know. -Of course.
How does your son feel that -- during this experience?
Well, here´s the thing. So I have my son.
I got pregnant with him when I was 18.
-Oh, wow. -I left home when I was 16.
-You know what I mean? -You a soldier, for real.
Bro, I´ve been an adult for a long time.
I needed some fun and some crazy, like, youthful fun
and energy. Like, the energy -- major on -- heavy on the energy.
And that´s the reason why I came, ´cause I was like,
"You know what? I just need some me time.
I need to just, like, do something fun."
Just let go, do something for you.
STEPH: I´m having a great time. Leroy is hilarious.
[ Laughing ]
His energy is electric.
[ Laughs ] Right?
I want to share more of my heart with him,
but I´m not one to rush into things.
Normally I´m not into younger guys.
I like older guys, and so far I didn´t feel like
I was substantially older than him.
I didn´t feel 41. He didn´t feel 28.
It was just kind of like we were vibing
and kicking it. And I love that.
-You ready? -Oh, yeah.
One, two, three.
I am officially stuck in The Groove Hotel web,
-and it´s working. -You know what I´m saying?
[ Woman singing indistinctly ]
♫ We run the show, yeah ♫
MAN: Welcome, gentlemen, to The Groove Hotel yoga session.
I am so blessed to share this moment with you all.
The energy in the entire Groove Hotel,
it´s weird right now.
Everybody´s worried about getting checked out tonight.
MAN: Feel our abs squeezing.
MAN #2: I don´t have those.
So how you feel about these women?
You confident in your position?
Well, brother, to be honest with you, after the first night
and how things unfolded,
it just confirmed that the girls aren´t what I´m looking for.
-Okay. -LUIS: From the start,
they didn´t treat me as I like to be treated.
They were wanting everybody´s attention, and, like,
-that´s not how I vibe. -Yeah.
I first danced with Brooke.
STEVEN: Mm-hmm.
The chemistry wasn´t there.
And then Steph...
...she´s overdoing it.
She´s 40,
and, I mean, she´s acting like 25.
And then Sparkle...
Same thing.
So you feel as if they´re not mature enough?
Exactly.
STEVEN: I´m definitely caught off guard right now
by him saying that because everybody loves my mom.
I feel like you didn´t get enough time with them.
I think people show their character right off the bat.
STEVEN: It took a lot for me not to say something.
Ah, man.
I don´t like the fact that Luis is definitely
talking about her behind her back like that.
I´m very protective of my mom.
[ Laughs ]
If Luis doesn´t tell my mom what he said,
then I´m definitely gonna tell her.
[ Rock music plays ]
♫ You got a date with my weekend ♫
♫ It´s all unfolding tonight ♫
BROOKE: You know, I´m coming off of this amazing date with Cru.
But tonight we have another mixer.
♫ I´m calling shots, I came to play ♫
I´m a one man kind of woman,
so I´m gonna have to get out of my comfort zone
and be open to all of the other guys.
♫ I call the shots, yeah, yeah ♫
♫ Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ♫
SPARKLE: Tonight´s mixer is gonna be interesting
because we´re gonna see who comes to me.
Who knows what I might uncover? I found out
Akio is way more interesting than I thought he was.
♫ Baby, get ready ´cause I´m runnin´ this town ♫
STEPH: My date with Leroy was of epic proportions.
Something sexy waiting on me.
STEPH: He´s making me want to see him again.
Which is crazy because I thought that it was gonna take
-a little longer for me. -♫ Yeah, yeah, yeah ♫
STEPH: I´m hoping that tonight I´ll have a chance
to talk to a few people that I haven´t had a chance to talk to.
♫ Baby, get ready ´cause I´m runnin´ this town ♫
[ Indistinct conversations ]
Who you gonna be talking to tonight right away?
Oh. Steph. Steph, bro.
-MAN: Ooh. -MAN #2: Sparkle.
-MAN #3: Sparkle? -MAN #2: Yeah.
I´m going straight for Brooke.
-Really? -Beeline straight for her.
-MAN: Full sprint? -JOSH T.: Full sprint ahead.
HUNTER: I´ll alley-oop you that, too, man.
I´ll give you the dunk of a lifetime.
I´ll lob that like Kobe Bryant to you.
She´s gonna have a long line.
AKIO: I can´t wait to see these ladies, bro.
Like, even though I went on that date, bro,
I just want to see how they looking tonight.
It´s a different -- You know what I´m saying?
♫ I look like a bombshell ♫
Hi, boys!
[ Men cheering ]
MAN: Yeah!
MAN #2: Oh, my God. We got some stars in here tonight.
-Let´s do it! -♫ I look like a bombshell ♫
-[ Indistinct conversations ] -WOMAN: Whoo!
Goddamn. You came in here. I´m starting to sweat.
The ladies looked fire walking into the mixer.
MAN: How you doing? How you doing?
Mwah. You looking real nice tonight.
Dang, these women aging like fine wine.
-Sparkle. -Hey, honey.
What´s up, baby?
-How are you? -I´m good.
Sparkle is it for me.
Hopefully she´s still feeling my vibe.
Come on. Let´s get you a drink.
´Cause it´s, like, a dog-eat- dog world out there right now.
May I steal you away real quick?
-Set the timer, guys. -I got it already.
I absolutely fight for what I want,
and I will fight till the end to get Brooke.
How are you, first off? I haven´t seen you since our date.
How amazing was that!
How do you feel after last night?
How do I feel? I wasn´t, like, feeling.
-I was, like, floating. -[ Laughs ]
[ Cru laughs ]
I think all the guys are checking us out.
What guys? We´re here with other guys?
-[ Laughs ] -I didn´t know.
Maybe. I know this is, like, kind of
a hard situation for you to be in, I´m sure.
It´s a little difficult. But, listen, here´s the thing.
When you´re with them,
you just learn that maybe you like me better.
[ Both laugh ]
But I am letting you know that, like...
like, I like you. Okay? Like, I "like you" like you.
-Like, you "like me" like me? -Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Do you mind if I cut in a little bit on this?
You want to take her or cut in?
JOHN T.: I want to cut in, man.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
-[ Group cheering ] -SPARKLE: Take me.
Let´s go over here to the bench.
AKIO: Steven´s my boy, and he went off to kiss Sparkle.
SPARKLE: The guys here at The Groove Hotel
are hot, sexy, fine as hell.
A couple tricks up my sleeve, girl. What´s up?
MAN: You know what I´m saying? I like your vibes.
-You know it. -Thank you.
But it´s way too many guys here.
-♫ Pull up to the party ♫ -BROOKE: Just take me wherever.
We need to see who´s really here for us.
♫ Pull up, pull up, pull up, pull up, mamacita ♫
-I will see you later. -All right. See you, Josh.
JOSH: See you.
-This one´s a steep one. -SPARKLE: Come on, Lee.
-Lee knew to give me his arm. -Yeah.
I came to The Groove Hotel...
So you are a gentleman, and you are attentive.
...to see if any of these ladies and me...
I feel like you get me, and I love that.
...are gonna find a great connection.
I know I´m gonna pursue Sparkle.
How is everything going for you?
Going good. I´m having a great time.
-You have beautiful eyes. -Thank you.
And I can see, like, energy from those eyes.
SPARKLE: Lee was just so darn cute.
He was interesting, sweet, attentive.
I was, like, hoping that we could
-see each other during the day. -Right.
And, like, we can do something else besides, like, the house.
-I love this, but, like... -You love the house.
But you´re tired of these boys.
I was gonna say I didn´t do ab workouts
´cause I was laughing for, like, 9 hours the other day.
SPARKLE: Can I see how long
you´ve been laughing with the abs? I need to see these abs.
[ Laughs ]
-Oh, I s-- Okay. Okay. -LEE: Hold up.
Just feel that.
-Oh, okay. Okay, Lee. -LEE: You like that?
Okay, young buck.
What was I thinking?
[ Laughs ]
-[ Indistinct conversations ] -I´m not making any line.
Neither of the girls are what I´m looking for.
I don´t find these women attractive.
STEVEN: I can´t have Luis just out here bad-mouthing my mom.
-MAN: I know. -[ Luis laughs ]
Usually back home if they do say some kind of thing like that,
they get rung up for it. I can´t hide nothing from her.
No, look, look...
STEVEN: She can smell cat from a mile away.
I live from the gut. All it takes is the gut to know.
-Where, like... -STEVEN: So I definitely
need to have a conversation with my mom.
[ All cheering ]
Damn! Who that in that dress right there?
-Whoo! -Who´s that with good taste?
-MAN: See that right there? -Who said that with good taste?
Who was that? You know, the purpose of the mixer
is not only to have a good time.
-Hey, boo. -Hey, baby.
We need to see who´s really here to help us get our groove back.
Brooke, let me take you to the dance floor.
BROOKE: Take me.
Tonight is about the other guys.
You know, the possibility of having more adventures
with more guys. Like...
Hunter.
We are just out-of-our-minds excited.
-How are you? -So good to see you. Oh, man.
Tell me about this jersey.
-HUNTER: Cougars? Crazy story. -Yeah, yeah.
I happen to always be recruited by the cougars, so...
Wow. So you have a lot of experience?
-I do. -So why are you here?
I have severe mommy issues,
which has always attracted me to an older woman.
-And... -Yeah, I can see that.
Tonight, though, I did really want to get deep
-and personal with you. Yeah. -You do?
Are you sure you´re ready for this one?
I am.
Okay. I want to know...
[Chuckles] what the kinkiest shit
you´ve ever done in your life is.
-Ah. Really? -I do.
-BROOKE: All right. -Lay it on me, please.
I know you´ve got that wild personality.
Yeah, I don´t think that´s a bit appropriate.
You weren´t disciplined as a child, it seems like,
´cause you´re not really -- You don´t have manners.
-Well... -BROOKE: Yeah.
Oh...my God.
What a [bleep] tool.
-Have a good night. -Okay. You too.
I killed it.
[ Sighs ] Geez. That kid.
♫ The beat goes bang, bang, bang ♫
♫ Work your body, move that thang ♫
-♫ Girl, you got it ♫ -Come on. Come on.
Oh, my gosh. Like, the mixer´s this ridiculous.
Look at you. You looking real good tonight.
-Thank you, baby. -Everybody´s just, like,
-hounding on these girls... -Hey, hey!
...trying to get their one-on-ones with them.
I´m just gonna hold on to you.
I need to speak to you, so come on.
-Oh, let´s go ahead and do it. -That´s what´s up.
Let´s go ahead. Let me take your hand real quick.
-Let´s go ahead and do it. -MAN: We´re still waiting.
MAN #2: All right, young buck.
MAN #1: Hey, Steven´s on a roll, bruh.
MAN #2: He´s 22. Of course he is.
He´s the only one with energy.
[ Laughs ]
Hey, son.
[ Both laugh ]
Let´s go over there. Let´s go over there.
-Where? -Oh, my God.
I know. It´s crazy, right? So...
Does anybody know that you´re my son?
Nobody knows. There´s not one person in the house
that suspects that. I feel like I´ve done an amazing job
-of keeping it under wraps. -So what was that?
I just talked to her. Then now she down there with Steven.
-You know what I´m saying? -The 22-year-old.
LEROY: You know what I´m saying, so...
[ Whispering ] Right on.
[ Both laugh ]
I brought my son with me.
But nobody knows. Don´t say nothing.
Oh, my gosh. We´ve been away from each other for too long.
I know, I know.
I´ve been waiting for this moment.
He´s my best friend.
He´s come out here to support me because he knows
what I have been dealing with these past few months
since having my surgery. The other day I was like,
"I want to give him a hug so bad."
So when I saw you, I felt so much better.
So my son being here definitely helps me
to feel a little bit more confident
and feel a little bit more secure
because at least I know that he´s not too far away.
I love you, kid. Give me a kiss.
There´s nobody in this world that I would rather have
this experience with than my kid.
I´m glad that you´re here because you´re my eyes and ears.
We´re not gonna tell anybody that we´re here yet,
because I feel like if people knew,
then they may act accordingly to that.
So I need you to, like, give me some tea.
-[ Laughs ] Oh, boy. -I need some tea.
Want some tea? Some real tea? You need some real tea?
I need the most tea, son.
I was talking to Luis earlier, right?
And he goes, "I´m not really feeling anybody on the island."
I said, "What do you mean by that?" He´s like, "I´m not
vibing with any of the girls. I don´t like any of the girls."
I didn´t get to talk to him.
-You didn´t? -No.
That´s crazy, because he said that you´re childish.
He doesn´t like the way you act.
He just feels as if you act immature.
He said you act like you´re 25 still.
-That´s what he said? -That´s what he said.
-Interesting. -That´s what he said.
Who is this dude? I´ve never even had
a conversation with him. I don´t play that shit.
You´re not about to disrespect me,
and you´re definitely not gonna disrespect the ladies.
He thinks that I´m immature, he gonna see what´s immature.
Oh, boy. Come on, Ma.
Here we go.
♫ Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah ♫
♫ Hey, ladies, there´s a dog in the building ♫
[ Man speaks indistinctly ]
Don´t ask this question.
[ Indistinct arguing ]
Luis. Let´s talk, boo.
-Come on. -Oh, my goodness.
I´ve been waiting for this conversation.
-Have you? -MAN: Hold on, hold on.
Coming through. Beautiful woman coming through.
Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you, gentlemen.
MAN: The attitude that walked through.
MAN #2: Yeah. What was that?
-I love these guys. -You can sit there.
-Yeah. So... -So you having a good time?
I´m having a blast. I had a great time today.
That´s what´s important.
So tell me -- What did you come here for?
To be honest, I am -- I came here to meet...
-Different people. -...Someone
-that matches my energy. -Mm-hmm.
What kind of energy do you get from me?
Well...
You´re honest. I like that.
Because if you´re not truthful, then you just fake things,
and that´s not what I´m looking for.
So you don´t like fake things?
No.
I don´t like fake things neither.
And it´s funny that you said that,
because from what I understand,
you were saying that you didn´t like me or any of the women
and that I was immature. You didn´t like how I was.
So that´s not gonna work here.
-I get it. -Do you?
-Yeah, I get it. -Good.
So then you´re gonna get that you´re gonna check out
tonight, so you can go home. Nice to meet you.
Sayonara. Take your ass home with that bullshit.
I don´t know who you think you´re talking to.
What you´re not gonna do is, you´re not gonna come
over here and disrespect me or the ladies.
You can take you and them baggy-ass jeans
back to your house.
[Bleep] out of here.
-Oh. -She´s speaking facts.
Dang, Luis, what is going on here?
What?! What the [bleep] is happening?
STEPH: Go start packing now. Like, right now.
-I´m packed. -Good. Beautiful.
Go, go. You got to go now.
Dude, what the [bleep]
She just kicked Luis out.
I´m literally standing there,
shook, like, "What just happened?
What just went down?"
What the [bleep] bro?
Hold on. I got to see what´s going on with my girl.
Where´s my drink?
-No Birkenstocks. -Cheers.
STEPH: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
MAN: She just kicked him out?
Something´s happening. Hold on a second.
Babe, what happened?
-At least I´m -- -Shh. Shh.
-Adios, Luis. -My guy, what?
-Honesty is what matters. -STEPH: You lying, though!
Take your ass home with that shit.
Holy Christmas trees.
SPARKLE: Wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait. What´s going on?
What´s going on?
STEPH: He was talking the most shit, talking about
he don´t like nobody and he don´t like my energy.
What?! Oh, hell no. He´s got to go.
What did I miss?
Luis apparently has been talking shit.
-Really? -Anybody else got a problem
with the energy?
MAN: No, not at all, baby.
Your energy is far from trash, yo.
-He on some bullshit. -STEPH: And if nobody else
like my energy or her energy or her energy,
they can go home. Look, it´s all about vibes and energy.
We have no time for the bullshit.
He´s gotta go.
Everybody´s here for a reason.
We´re having a good time.
And you´re not gonna [bleep] it up. Period. Period.
He´s got to go.
You got to go.
Hey.
You´re checking out extremely early.
You must have [bleep] something up.
He´s gone. Keep the party going.
Bye, Luis!
Retirement center gigolo.
-I need a drink. -I´ll get you a drink.
-What do you want? You tell me. -Vodka soda.
Bartender, can we had some shots, please?
Shots?
Steph, I love your energy, babe.
Thank you, babe. I´m like, "Damn."
I thought we was having a good time.
SPARKLE: Whoa. That was crazy.
Even as drama-filled as it was,
we were still able to connect with some pretty amazing guys.
I had such a good time the other day.
-I did, too. -It was amazing.
It was magical.
That´s all I was thinking about the whole night.
I wanted to kiss you so bad on the lips on the boat yesterday.
I know you want to make sure that the connection is real.
You know, and I vibe with that.
Honestly, looking forward
to talking to you tonight because I was like,
"I wonder if we´re gonna get a second date."
-I hope so. -I hope so.
-I think we deserve it. -I think that´s on you.
-That´s on me? -I think.
What do I got to do that can seal the deal?
Let´s see.
Mmmm! I got a little kiss!
I got a kiss!
What?!
I got a kiss!
I was so shy. I was so nervous.
But it was nice. I really liked it.
I hope we make more magic tonight.
[ Animal howling ]
MAN: Shit. It´s Pedro, the concierge.
-MAN: Look at Pedro. -MAN #2: Uh-oh.
Pedro in here.
-MAN: Yo. -Checkouts are happening.
-You know, I love a athletic -- -Brooke?
-Yes. -It´s time for checkout.
Okay. Thank you.
MAN: God damn it.
When Pedro walks in, it´s over, right? Like...
-Hello, my good sir. -Hey, give us
five more minutes, brother.
He checks people out. That´s his job.
-The night was bananas. -It´s been a very crazy night.
-MAN #2: With that Luis. -GARY: Any time you can go home.
The women have all the power, and it´s terrifying.
-Steph. -Hey!
-My guy. -It´s time for checkout.
-Time for checkout? -Yes.
Okay.
MAN: Did Pedro grab somebody?
MAN #2: God. Are they checking out already?
The girls are checking out?
I hope Steph focuses on the positive.
Doesn´t let the negative energy get her down.
I don´t want her to boot anybody, like me.
MAN: He grabbing off people?
Oh, my God.
♫ And I will win, too ♫
♫ Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh ♫
♫ And I will stand up ♫
-Tonight was fun. -SPARKLE: It was fun.
-Tonight was crazy. -It was wild.
-It was a roller coaster. -Like, wow.
Girl, I´m so sorry, what happened tonight.
I mean, I´m not sorry, because at the end of the day,
nobody is gonna come over here and disrespect any of us.
Thank you for that, though. He needed to leave.
I already sent somebody home.
-So this is on you. -Yeah.
We have two more guys checking out tonight, so...
SPARKLE: If you´re not here for us, we´re gonna find out,
and we´re gonna check you out.
All right, boys.
AKIO: I want to say so bad at The Groove Hotel.
The fact that I got the first kiss with Sparkle,
it´s like, my heart´s still beating fast.
Unfortunately, I wasn´t able to chat to Brooke tonight,
but I have full faith in my charm and my charisma.
Wow, what a night.
We had a great first week,
but we´re not for everybody.
And if we´re not for you, that´s okay.
We´re not gonna be disrespected.
You guys saw what happened tonight.
We don´t want to have another repeat episode of that.
Let´s have a good time. Let´s have some fun.
My date today was of epic proportions.
I have more fun today than I´ve had in a really long time,
and I´m really grateful for that.
Leroy, I´d like you to stay.
I´m glad.
I think it´s a given that I´ve shared
some great energy with you, Akio.
-Let´s extend your stay. -Yeah.
[ Applause ]
Well, I had the most amazing, magical evening with Cru.
So, Cru, would you please stay?
CRU: I still feel like I am number one
because I´m just being me.
Wow.
I love Steph´s spirit. I love her energy.
So I hope Steph chooses me today.
Tashi.
Thank you.
We had a lot of fun on the dance floor. Steven.
Quentin.
Rob.
We really hit it off, and I was really digging your vibe.
Josh.
Which Josh?
[ Laughs ] Both of them. All of them. Come on.
[ Laughter ]
Let´s go.
Oh, nice. She got two for one.
Greg.
I´m not ready to check out. I´m not ready to go home.
Mikey.
Matt B.
Have no fear. Remi, you still here.
I´m thinking, "Yo, Gary, something´s wrong with you."
I thought we had a connection.
Like, and you pick these guys first?
Giuseppe.
Tate.
I´m getting lost in the wash.
And Gary don´t get lost in the wash.
Gary, come on.
I´m gonna let Steph know that I want her.
[ Laughs ]
I at least need time with her.
Lee: I´d really prefer I don´t check out.
[ Sighs ]
I can come off as misunderstood, and it kind of sucks.
I´m not perfect. I do fall short.
I do mess up a lot, but I genuinely care about love.
Lee.
Phew!
You got me there, Sparkle, for real.
-SPARKLE: You got yourself, Lee. -We still got to figure
this physical chemistry out, like with the hug.
Lee, just be glad you´re here. Be glad you´re here alone, love.
It takes time to know me, and I get it.
BROOKE: So two guys are gonna be checking out tonight.
I know they always save the best for last, for sure.
Matt F, please stay.
STEPH: Unfortunately, you both
are gonna have to check out tonight.
And we wish you all the best,
and we hope that you had a good time.
But hold on. I got something to say to Hunter.
MAN: Oh, shit.
I´m not sure what hotel you checked into,
but I´m blown away at the disrespect.
-Oh, my God. -BROOKE: I cannot believe it.
And it was very inappropriate to wear that jersey tonight.
So you can check your ass out.
I did not see that coming.
Bummer?
I thought that she might get a giggle out of the jersey,
but obviously I thought wrong.
I think you missed out, honestly.
I got a lot more to me.
Yeah. Get out of here.
HUNTER: I thought she had a sense of humor.
I thought she was more, like, looking for a little bit of fun.
She´s not. She´s looking for [bleep] a 20-year-old husband.
[ Laughs ] Oh, my God.
[Bleep] that guy.
PEDRO: Good evening.
What´s up?
-May I have your name, please? -Hunter.
Oh, man. Don´t play with these ladies. They´ll bite at you.
So what is the reason of your early checkout?
Probably because the girls have no personality, I would say.
They tore Hunter´s ass up.
Well, sometimes it´s also about the dress code.
I don´t think he´s the right guy for a woman that´s, like,
mature, smart, sophisticated.
Please give me a signature.
Where?
Hunter is, like, the exact opposite of that.
In the line, please.
-Thank you for your visit. -Thanks.
All right, guys. We´ll see you tomorrow.
STEPH: All right, peace.
[ Men cheering ]
Oh, Lee!
MAN: This is only the beginning, bro.
-Please, Lee. -It´s only the beginning, bro.
BROOKE: Were we too hard on Hunter?
SPARKLE: No, Hunter needed it.
There´s no cougars here.
STEPH: It was tough tonight because the closer
that I´m getting to the girls,
it´s kind of bothering me a little bit that I feel like
I´m holding this really, really important secret.
I want to be totally honest and transparent
with the both of them.
So tomorrow I´m gonna tell Brooke and Sparkle
that Steven is my son.
I just don´t want any secrets in the house.
I don´t know how anybody´s gonna react.
I´m terrified. That is a recipe for disaster.
-Steven´s my son. -Shut the [bleep] up.
Sparkle wants to connect with the child inside of her.
-[Bleep] Whoo! -There you go.
By going on a date with a child that was once inside of Steph.
Because I have such a good time with your mom, Steph.
Cat´s out of the bag. Meow.
Does that affect anything between us?
STEPH: I came to The Groove Hotel... Oh, my God.
...to release what I´ve suppressed for so long.
-[ Laughs ] -I´ve been wanting to see you.
STEPH: I´ve been wanting to see you, too.
I´m starting to develop real feelings.
-[ Grunts ] -Like this.
I think some people are here for some reasons.
And some people are here for other reasons.
Do you think I should be concerned?
Yeah.
Over my dead body am I gonna allow any of these guys
to waste more of my time. I cannot be manipulated.
You´re being a bitch.
You´re spreading lies to a woman that´s been through --
You don´t even know what she´s been through.
What if she does believe what Josh is saying?
-I´m sorry, gentlemen. -CRU: I could be going home.
But I just had to follow my heart tonight.
It´s my time now, so sit the [bleep] down.
♫ Hey ♫
