-Welcome friends and family. -[all] Woo.
How do you feel about having another child?
That's not an option for me.
I was married for 20 years
and I was like, "I'm never getting married again."
-[Jami] Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Right?
But I dunno, girl, I might be living in Texas.
[screams]
He's not ready.
You ain't feeling it?
-He's not there. -Yeah.
I'm sure a lot of good things are worth waiting for,
but I won't wait forever.
-[Barby] You're fake as [bleep]. -[Kelle] I'm fake.
You can't even look at me when I talk to you.
-Because you're weird. -You're up here... I'm weird?
Because I don't wear crop tops,
because I don't have bad extensions?
[bleep]. Damn.
This is, like, too much.
[Barby speaking]
[Chris speaking]
The whole point of us being here is to find love.
If I've already found it, why am I still here?
[intense music playing]
[upbeat music playing]
[Kelle speaking]
[Crystal] Mmm-hmm.
[Kelle speaking]
[Crystal speaking]
-[Kelle speaking] -[Crystal] Yeah.
[Kelle speaking]
Waking up this morning,
I'm feeling a little uneasy
because of the altercation
between Barby and I last night.
I was being called all sorts of names
and stuff like that
and it was... It was very hurtful.
-Get beautiful. -[Kelle] I swear.
Get yourself together
and be your beautiful self.
And come on downstairs and have a good time.
[Kelle] All right.
Barby has been starting arguments
almost from the very beginning.
[man] This pasta is gonna be so good.
So on Sundays in Vietnam, we usually eat pho,
but today is Monday,
so we'll pretend like it's Sunday.
[Crystal] Yesterday, people were mingling
and then getting to know each other.
And then all of a sudden, I hear Barby
screaming at Kelle.
And I'm just like, "Why would she do this
and embarrass all of us
when we've got family and friends there?"
Like, this is the worst day to do it.
[woman] Yeah, that's really good.
-[Kelle] How is it? -[man] Spicy fish sauce.
-[woman] Spicy. -[phone vibrates]
Guys, I just got a text.
-[man] Okay. What's going on? -[man 1] All right. Let's hear it.
Chris and Barby have left the journey together.
They have decided to take their love
out into the real world.
-We wish them well. -[woman] Yeah.
-Good for them. -[man] Yes, they're very good.
[Anthony] They're good people.
Salute to Chris and Barby.
[man] Salute to Chris and Barby.
Chris came in the middle of the night
and he told me he's getting out of here.
He wants to take off, him and Barby.
We'll run away in the middle of the night
-like two love birds. -[Joey] Oh.
He don't wanna deal with no more drama nothing.
He says, "I'm getting out of here."
I don't blame them. I'm having a doubt
that, you know, Chris and Barby left,
but I don't blame them, honestly.
You know, they... You've already found a connection,
uh, and they're happy, so yeah.
I just want the best for 'em
and I want them to have a happy future together.
They're gonna make it too, these two.
[man] Oh, yeah.
[Darren] They might have been.
-[man 1] Yeah. -[man 2] It's gonna be new.
I'm really excited
that Barby and Chris are not in the house
because now everyone can focus on their own relationships.
Rob and I actually have a chance to get to know one another.
Well, we're not constantly looking over our shoulder
not knowing what explosion is about to happen.
It was hell living with them.
Bye, bitch.
I need a good energy today.
We should, since we don't have certain people here,
-we should. -[Darren] Yeah.
I'm not shocked at all
about Chris and Barby leaving
in the middle of the night.
I'm very happy about it
because I feel like now,
we can be in peace.
Hey, look, I'm not excusing the cray,
but that young man will back her up to the end of days.
I just don't wanna be around that
and I just think we should just move forward.
I think most of us are surprised.
I know there's been a lot of drama
but I didn't expect Chris and Barby to be leaving.
[Darren] I'm happy for them.
[Sam] They're probably the strongest
and craziest couple as...
You know, you hear some couples are fire and ice,
Chris and Barby are like--
Mount Vesuvius and the sun collide.
Earthquake and tsunami.
Um, they're both amazing people.
-Though I think... -I love it.
...that's one of my favorite relationships.
There's two sides and usually three at every...
-[Crystal] Mmm-hmm. -Every incident, every story.
[birds chirping]
[romantic music playing]
[Chris]We came here for one reason.
We found that reason.
I want us to be able to leave this Manor
knowing that we have all the reassurance in the world.
And so, um, I got a little date plan for us.
I got a little surprise plan for us.
You look so nice.
Thank you.
[Chris speaking]
I think it was necessary...
-That was needed. -...for us to leave.
I had to get out of there.
There's no point for us to even be in the house anymore.
I don't wanna go back to the house
just because it's a headache.
I just wanna get away from all these other people,
all these other factors,
and just focus on what I found.
Now, the next step is back to reality.
-Mmm-hmm. -Yeah.
Just know like I'm here, so you can call me.
I would... I have no problem coming out there to see you.
I will catch an overnight flight if I... If I have to.
I will be there, like, the second you need me.
You're my person.
[Chris] You're my person, baby.
And as crazy as it sounds,
um, I can truly say I like...
Barby, I... Like, I love you.
I love... I love being with you.
I love being around you.
I love who you are as a person.
I love what you bring to me.
I love that you make me a better man.
Actually saying it and putting it out there that,
you know, I love you.
The age don't mean [bleep].
Yeah, I know it sounds crazy
because we've only been together for two weeks.
No, it's not 'cause I've had to tell myself...
-[Chris] I know-- -...not to say it out loud because it's...
-[Chris] And then... -I wanna say I love you...
-[Chris] ...what do you feel... -...before we go to bed.
I love you too.
But...
-I love you, baby. -I love you.
In order for me to allow a man into my life,
he would have to make my life better,
-not harder. -Period.
And that's just been why it's been so hard
for me to find anybody.
And I saw the bigger picture with you.
And damn, I never thought
that I was gonna be walking out of here all boo'd up.
This is my queen. This is my goddess.
This is my rock. This is my backbone.
This is my lover now. This is my woman.
-Are we weird? -Mmm-hmm.
-Are we crazy? -Yeah.
[upbeat music playing]
[Darren] Hey, y'all, I got a text.
All right. You have the opportunity
to build meaningful relationships,
but now it's time to find out just how compatible you are
with the people you're dating.
Each of you will be texted a series
of relationship-focused questions.
-[woman] Mmm-hmm. -Remember to be open
and truthful in your responses
as only those individuals
who show the highest compatibility
will continue on this journey.
-Good luck. -Mmm-hmm.
The compatibility test concerns me
because I'm thinking about me and David,
and the time we spent together
and, you know, possibly the future.
But sometimes who we think we should be with
is not the person that we should be with,
so I'm feeling kind of anxious about this.
All right. Let's get to it. Let's get out there.
-[man] All right. -[woman] All right.
-Let's do it. -[Darren] Come on. Go.
[singer]♪ Start anew ♪
♪ When it was growing ♪
♪ And I wanted to take you Home and have some fun ♪
[Sam] Well, you wanna be compatible with who you're
going to be spending the rest of your life with,
so I think to find out these questions right away
is really helpful.
I'm a little nervous.
I thought Shauna and I had something but...
I'm not... I don't know if we're compatible anymore,
so I guess the test will let us know.
How would you handle serious arguments
with your partner? Oh, geez.
Being certain that every day before we go to bed
that we realize we're on the same team.
With Kelle, the things I'm not compatible with
is, uh, she comes across as very brash
and bold woman, very strong woman.
So it's nice to know that deep down inside of her,
she does have a very soft side and she's very vulnerable.
But you wonder how that's gonna last
after weeks and months together.
Am I ready for a serious commitment?
I was married for almost 18 years and that ended.
And then, I got in a long-term relationship
and then got engaged, and that ended.
Look, I'm human, I don't wanna get hurt again.
How important is physical intimacy
in a relationship?
Even though I feel that we do have some compatibility,
I'm a little scared
because Stacy is not allowing us
to get on a deeper connection.
Physical intimacy would be top of...
On my list outside of God and family for sure.
Do you want children with your new partner?
One of the biggest desires in my life
is to have a lot of kids.
And my concern was, uh, was Christina
having a 22-year-old already in the house
and having already gone through that stage of her life,
if she would be open and willing to, you know,
start all over again
and have a house full of kids.
[Christina] Do you want children
with your new partner?
Interesting.
Do you want children with your new partner?
[bleep].
[sighs] I definitely want children.
I'm really hoping that the results
of that me and Shauna are compatible
even though we have some obstacles to get over.
Um, if I'm in a relationship,
I'm gonna be in the relationship 100%.
And hey, deal with things as they come.
They say in a restaurant... [speaking Spanish]
you always move in forward, you know,
instead of dwelling on stuff, right Joe?
-Yup. -Always move in forward.
I wanna be a dad sooner than later.
I thought it'd be, like, on the...
On the DILF team
by this point in time of my life.
How important is physical intimacy
to you in a relationship?
Yeah, it's very important, you know.
Very important.
I know how important it is
to have physical intimacy in a... In a relationship
because I, you know, have that problem
in my past relationship.
I've basically, like, built a little bit of a PTSD
with, like, older guys 'cause I'm afraid
that there's gonna be a problem
and I'm not gonna be able to, like, have a sex life.
But Connor and Anthony
are very physical with their touch,
so I am feeling pretty confident
that I am compatible with both of them.
[Connor] [sighs] These are challenging questions.
I just... I'm not really sure where to go.
I'm very confident with my relationship with Rebecca,
but what if it shows
that she's more compatible with Anthony?
They live closer together, they're closer in age,
he doesn't want kids,
she doesn't want kids.
So I'm worried about
if they're a better match together.
[crickets chirping]
-[cell phone vibrates] -[Stacy] Everyone, I got a text.
Oh, here we go.
Yikes.
-[man] All right. -[woman] Oh, no.
-[man 1] Okay. -[man 2] Oh, geez.
[man 3] Oh, man.
What we got?
Thank you everyone for taking the time
to thoughtfully reply to the questions
sent earlier today.
Your thoughts have brought clarity
to who is committing romantically
and who is not.
[dramatic music playing]
[Stacy] Fletcher and Sam,
your answers did not line up with the women here.
And your journey has sadly come to an end.
Please say your goodbyes and go.
Oh, my God.
All right. See you on the other side.
Later, guys.
[woman] Oh, my God.
It's been amazing to meet all of you.
Joey, day one.
I think I'm feeling a little bit of guilt
because Sam's having to leave,
but David is definitely putting in the effort.
After friends and family he got along with everyone.
He was very attentive to me.
And I feel like, you know,
there could be a future here.
Sam, I adore you.
I adore you too. Have a good one.
-Best of luck. -[Christina speaking]
[Sam] I know. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Have a great time.
I'll see you back at Jackson.
I know, I know, I know.
[Fletcher sighs] It...
It's not really a big surprise.
I didn't make any love connections,
but this experience
reaffirmed what I want out of life.
I wanna be a dad.
[Rob]You're a diamond in the rough
as far as a guy who is your age,
who's coming right out
and saying that's what he wants.
Not too many guys like you out there.
[Sam speaking]
-All right. -[Darren speaking]
[Sam speaking]
Okay?
As awkward as it was having my dad here at first.
Now I also don't think I could have done
anything without him here.
-[Kelly speaking] -He's gonna act...
-[Sam speaking] -[Kelly] Mmm-hmm.
[Sam speaking]
-We love you. -I love you too.
He's in great hands.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
In all honesty, the whole point of this experience
is to come out and meet new people
and explore a bunch of different options.
So I'm extremely grateful
for all the time I had with Christina.
But I'm also brokenhearted that I didn't find love.
But I think love is definitely out there.
I'll find it.
[Darren] It's not about whether he found
a connection or not.
That's not what makes me sad that he's leaving.
It's that I've really enjoyed
doing this whole experience with him.
I mean, I'm gonna miss you,
but you got Kelly Mac, you got Mama K.
-[woman 1] Huge heart. -[woman 2] Yeah.
[woman 1] Huge heart.
[phone beeps]
So I just got a message as well.
-[man] All right. -Congratulations
on making it this far
in your journey to find love.
Tomorrow will be your final day here.
Tonight, the women will be leaving the house.
The men will stay here.
Tonight is for reflecting.
Are you confident in what you have found?
Tomorrow, you will meet down at the dock
to make your final choice.
Good luck.
Wow.
Everyone, I have something to say.
[dramatic music playing]
[Kelle]Tomorrow is such a big day.
We have to make a huge decision
and I'm definitely nervous.
[Rebecca] So I made my decision.
-Oh, this is hard. -Life's short.
And you have to take chances
and go after what you want.
If that's what you really want.
-Right. -So...
[dramatic music playing]
I've been on a journey to find love.
I've been very blessed to connect with Joey
because Joey was very truthful yesterday.
That has really put a big impact on my decision
and this is the end of the road for me.
So thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I followed my heart
and that's what I did with Joey.
But we couldn't make it work.
And so it hurts going back home.
But I know I'll just...
I'll be okay.
Shauna, thank you. Okay?
You showed me more than any woman I've ever met
in my life on how to treat somebody
and how to value certain things in life.
So I wanna say thank you for that.
You're welcome.
[dramatic music playing]
[Joey speaking]
-Thank you so much. -Oh, we love you.
This was a huge journey for me being in the manor
and just getting out of my comfort zone.
I'm leaving here with hope, pride.
A girl just ready to take on the world
and find my partner,
find my husband.
She's so sweet.
Shauna, class act
and I understand what Joey's going through
because sometimes you can have such a beautiful relationship
but you don't have the same vision for your future.
-[Joey] Yup. -So I guess just learn from it
and create a beautiful friendship.
[Joey] Coming into this experience,
I was honestly just looking to have fun.
So, you know, building a connection with Shauna
was something that I'm very grateful for.
I love this experience we had too, Joe.
Proud of you. Always be proud of you.
All right? This is my why.
I love you.
Love you.
Thank you for everybody here.
But at the same time, this is also my time to leave,
-so... -[Christina] Oh, wow.
So he's leaving?
Oh, my God.
[Joey] As soon as Shauna opened up to the house,
you know, about how she felt.
I knew I had to tell everyone
what was going on in my head.
And, you know, speaking to her aunt
really opened up my mind about how Shauna and I
are not ready to, you know,
take this outside of the manor.
I'll go with you. You want me to go with you?
-I'll go with you. -No, I can't... You stay here.
-You gotta stay here. -[man] Ah, leave.
-Come on. -You gotta stay.
You're staying.
I mean it.
Going through this experience with my father was, you know,
something that I'll never forget.
It's something I'm grateful for, you know.
I'm thinking I'm one of the only guys at the house
who when they saw their dad
was actually happy about it. [chuckles]
I'm so proud of him and I'm proud of us
for being able to get through this
from the strip teases
to the tantric yoga sessions.
It was all fun.
And, uh...
That's what I want. He deserves it.
[Anthony speaking]
-Mmm-hmm. -Love you.
Love you too.
Being here really opened my eyes
on what I'm looking for exactly in a woman.
It doesn't matter how old you are,
you can be 21, 44, 58
and the connections that you build
aren't based on your age.
It just matters who you are inside.
Okay, ladies, we need to go pack now.
Unfortunately.
[Rebecca] Making sure what I'm gonna...
It's coming from my heart, all right?
[laughs]
Bye, honey.
-[Rebecca speaking] -[David] Okay.
[Darren] Make sure you were making the right decision.
-Mmm-hmm. -Go think.
[Kelly] I wanna see this to the end.
And I wanna leave with Darren,
but I don't wanna have to guess.
You know, I want him to just like,
you know, this is how I feel,
and lay it all out on the table, all his cards.
[Crystal] Just like that. It's over.
Tomorrow is a big day.
That's why I'm feeling down a little bit.
I mean, with these men, they can't make up
their minds and, like, you're almost 55.
I only have one good relationship left in me.
And the reason why I say that
is because I'm 48 years old
and on the fact that I lost my son
and I'm still grieving over him,
I can't take another heartbreak. I just can't.
The next man's the one that I'm gonna be with
for the rest of my life.
[Kelle] Girl, if you even tried to leave,
I would've like knocked you out.
-[Crystal] You said what? -[Kelle speaking]
[Crystal chuckles]
[Kelle] You ain't going nowhere.
Even though my sister Mesha came to me
and told me after her conversation with Stacy
that he was not ready.
I know that when we're together,
we get along really, really good.
I like Stacy a lot.
He's very genuine. He's very honest.
He's been very open with me.
He makes me laugh.
Of course I like his swag.
He did express to me that
he still wanted to get married again
and that he's open to a relationship
and that he's a family man and he would rather,
you know, be with someone.
So I know me and Stacy could be good together,
but it's either now or never.
Now you and Connor are like...
-Yeah. -...really into each other?
-Definitely have a connection. -[Christina] Yeah.
-And I really like him. -[Christina] Mmm-hmm.
But I also don't wanna stop him
from, you know, his life
-'cause he's so young. -Mmm-hmm.
Obviously, there could be a possibility
with Anthony as well.
The thing with Connor
is that I know that he still wants four children.
He has a lot of life to live.
I've already lived all of that.
-[Christina] Mmm-hmm. -We'll see...
-[Christina] Yeah. -...what happens tomorrow.
-[laughs] -[Christina] I know.
After Jo-Ann left yesterday,
she thought that Anthony
was probably the better pick for me
because he's older, more mature,
and I should be with that one
versus Connor, the hot young one.
I don't know. I don't... I'm torn. I am torn.
How about you? Like, what do you feel like?
Um, I mean, I'm happy, you know?
I hope David feels the same way.
-I mean, we'll see. -[Rebecca] Yeah.
-Yeah. -So, we can go from there.
I am a hopeless romantic. I believe in love.
And there was something about David.
When I first saw him, you know,
I felt like there was an attraction.
Our conversation just kind of flowed and, you know,
we told each other exactly what we were looking for.
And I'm honestly not concerned at all that,
you know, David lives in Texas,
I live in North Carolina.
I feel like you fall for who you fall for.
[intense music playing]
[Kelle]Tomorrow is such a big day.
We have to make a huge decision.
And I'm definitely nervous
because I'm not really sure where Rob stands exactly.
I hope that, you know, we're aligned in everything
that we've been talking about.
If not, I could be heartbroken.
[intense music playing]
[Crystal]I am nervous as hell.
I'm literally shaking.
I made my decision and I wanna make sure
that he knows exactly how I feel.
I thought I was coming here
to find a connection, love.
-Mmm-hmm. -I have to admit,
that's not what I came here for.
Hmm.

♪ Forever ♪
I'm nervous because on the one hand,
there's Anthony who's full of life,
so fun to be around.
He's handsome. He dresses great,
good personality, and he's Italian. [laughs]
There's Connor.
And he's gorgeous, great body,
loves fitness like I do.
He's got a lot... A lot of things going for him.
I'm ready. I'm happy in my decision,
but I'm also very concerned
about the person I'm gonna let down.
[Anthony] I came here to find love,
and I think I did.
I definitely found a connection.
I definitely feel me and Rebecca are suited for each other
because, you know, our age, first of all,
you know, we both have kids that are out of the house
and we're at a point in life that we know who we are.
We've experienced life, you know,
and Connor still has to do that.
[Connor] I think Rebecca's amazing. I mean, starting
from when she came into the house, I was in awe.
And she was absolutely stunning.
And she is 20 years older than I am.
But I think that we did have probably one
of the best connections in the house.
Definitely didn't expect to walk down with Anthony.
And I don't know what's gonna happen,
but I believe if a relationship is meant to be,
it will be.
Wow. Look at that.
-All right. -[bleep].
[dramatic music playing]
-Hi. [laughs] -[Anthony] Hi.
-How are you? -How are you, guys?
-Good. -You look beautiful.
-Stunning. -Thank you. Thank you.
-[Anthony] Yes. -Good to see you.
-Hi. How are you? -Hi.
-Good... -Good.
Um...
So, I just wanted to tell you both,
like, how much fun I had with you guys.
-Thanks. -Thanks. Yeah.
So, I loved how when I came in the house,
you know, you took me right away in your hands
and took me around the house
and introduced me to everyone
-and showed me around. -It was my pleasure.
-You deserved it. -And I loved our first date.
I had so much fun, like, rolling around, doing paint.
That was a good, like, icebreaker touching each other.
We had our first kiss there too.
-Thank you. -And, Connor, you as well,
like you are so much fun to be around.
Like, we have a lot of the same interests
and you're a lot like me in a lot of ways.
And I love spending all those times that we did together.
It was... It was special.
-Thank you. You too. -[Rebecca] Thank you.
[intense music playing]
[Rebecca] So, I made my decision...
Oh, this is hard. [laughs]
[intense music playing]
You have the whole package for me,
but I have to go with, like, how I feel inside.
And I...
Anthony, I care so much about you,
but I'm choosing Connor.
[dramatic music playing]
I wish you both well.
-You know, you're good people. -[Rebecca] So are you.
-So are you. -Definitely, yeah. Thank you.
-You too, bro. -[Anthony] Yeah.
All right. I'll give you some privacy.
-All right. -[Connor] Bye, brother.
-Bye. -Ciao. Bye.
Bye, sweetie. Ciao. [laughs]
-Ciao bella. [laughs] -Ciao bella.
[dramatic music playing]
I'm definitely disappointed.
I didn't find love here,
but I just had this beautiful connection with my son.
And Joey's a special, special person,
a beautiful part of me that I... I'm lucky to have.
So, I'm looking forward to going back home
and, you know, looking for the love of my life.
I'm just like living in the moment right now.
And the moment feels really good, you know.
-I do like the moment. -I like the moment.
I think these... You've really made these
past couple of weeks
quite the journey for me.
-Aw. -And thank you for that.
Aw, thank you.
-I got my man. -[laughter]
You're so cute.
-You are. -Oh, you're cuter. [laughs]
[Connor]I think it's gonna be fun. I'm looking forward
to all the new memories that we can build outside
-of the house. -Yeah.
-[laughs] -[Connor] All right.
-This way. -[Rebecca] Oh, my God.
[dramatic music playing]
[Kelle]I'm excited and nervous.
This is my second time getting to this stage.
And honestly, I was ready to leave
the day before Rob came.
I felt like there was nobody here for me.
And then he came in the next day.
So, I'm shocked.
There's so many things I like about Rob.
He is smart, disciplined.
He stands up for me.
But the fact that he's on the completely opposite side
of my country, it's like...
It makes me question a lot of things.
[Rob] Today is the day I've been waiting for her.
I came in the house late
and I was a little skeptical
that I could make anything happen.
I took a shot and went for the diamond.
And I'm constantly surprised at how compatible
me and Kelle seem to be.
In normal circumstances, I probably would not approach Kelle.
She looks a little bit like she's out of my league.
I've learned a lot from past relationships.
Oh, look at this.
So, I'm very hopeful that I made the right choice.
I won't know for certain until I hear it from her lips.
Thank you.
Well, I'm glad you came.
Thanks.
-You look stunning. -Thank you.
-So do you. -As you always do.
Well...
I did come here trying to find, you know, a partner.
And the biggest thing for me is...
And I told you this, is that, you know,
I've never really had someone to, like, have my back
and you stood up for me.
And that was huge. And that means a lot to me.
And I love...
We can just hang out with each other
and chill with each other.
And it just feels to me
it's so calming, and peaceful, and easy.
It's almost, like, unreal
that we communicate on so many levels.
And you're so... You're fun, spontaneous,
and you're also surprisingly so sensitive.
I have enjoyed our time together
but, you know, you live so far away.
I'm in Florida. You're in California.
And...
I'd still like to continue to see you
and see what we can do to make things work with us.
How do you feel?
[laughs]
I am definitely interested
in, like, trying to make it work.
I feel like we're both very disciplined people.
And if we want something, we just go for it.
-[laughs] -So...
[dramatic music playing]
Second time's a charm. [laughs]
I came here to date younger men,
but I'm leaving with, like, an older man.
I've learned that maybe I'm more open
to dating older men as well
because I feel like Rob and I are more similar
in where we're at in our life,
in our career, in our families.
So, I feel like, you know,
we may have a better chance.
He's very young at heart
and he looks good for his age.
[Rob] Everything worked out just as planned.
I'm excited that she accepted my proposal.
-You proposed? -Proposed to come see you.
Oh. I was like, "Did I get a ring?"
-I don't see a ring on this finger. -Oh, but it was...
It was a visitation proposal.
Oh, visitation proposal.
Yes.
[boat engine revving]
[upbeat music playing]
The bonding that me and Stacy has is, like, beyond crazy.
I haven't gotten along with a guy like this in so long.
We like the same things. We're from the same place.
So, I care for Stacy. I do.
And I am nervous as hell.
I'm literally shaking
because I made my decision and I wanna make sure
that he knows exactly how I feel.
[Stacy] The experience with Crystal down here
has been eye-opening.
She's taught me a lot about myself
and what I need to do as far as growth.
I know that she's more than a friend, no question.
[intense music playing]
[Stacy] Oh, wow.
[intense music playing]
"Crystal made a difficult decision
to not show up today.
She ultimately realized there is no romantic connection
between the two of you.
Therefore, she's choosing to leave this journey single."
[dramatic music playing]
[Stacy]I'm definitely shocked, because I thought
that we were, you know, close enough
to where, whether or not I wanted to move forward
in a relationship, I would've let her know.
I would've at least showed up.
Never really hurt.
But this experience
has let me know that next time I fall in love,
I'm going to make sure that person feels appreciated.
And one thing that Crystal reminded me
is that your son Miles may have left,
but he's not gone.
And that really stuck with me.
And the way I look at it is that I found new love
with my son.
Yeah, definitely.
[dramatic music playing]
[Crystal] I decided not to meet Stacy on the dock today,
because I felt like we don't need
to talk about what is already been shown.
It's been a, a hard lesson, but it's been a good lesson.
You know, I'm happy to go back home
to see my family, see my... See my best friends.
And I'm very hopeful
that I can find love again someday.
[upbeat music playing]
[David] I have immense feelings towards Christina.
She possesses so many of the qualities
that I desire and a partner.
She's beautiful, she's honest, she's loving.
She's just a wonderful, wonderful person.
And this last 24 hours,
but there's been a lot of thoughts going through my mind.
You know, just some of the hangups that I have
in the long term of our relationship together.
How we see our lives playing out from here forward.
So this decision could be a very big turning point
in both of our lives.
[dramatic music playing]
I am excited, but I'm nervous as hell.
I feel like I'm gonna throw up. I never feel like this.
Coming in to this experience,
it's definitely changed my mind
on what I want in life.
After my divorce, you know, I was like, "I'm done.
I'm never marrying, you know, again."
But hopefully, me and David can,
you know, move forward
and hopefully plan...
I can't believe I'm saying this, a future together.
I'm gonna cry.
[chuckles]
He just brings out a different side of me
and, you know, that something I want long-term.
-How are you? -Fantastic.
-And you look amazingly gorgeous. -Thank you. You too.
-Absolutely. -It's good to see you.
-Good to see you too. -Did you miss me last night?
I was... Yeah, I was, um...
-I like this. Yeah, it's hot. -It's good?
-So hot, yeah. -All right. I appreciate it.
-Yeah. -Okay. So I'm nervous.
[dramatic music playing]
-I had time to reflect... -Yeah.
and, um, it's just crazy me saying this.
But, like... I'm gonna cry.
-[bleep]. Oh, my God. -[David] No, don't cry.
You just, like, feel, like, at home for me,
like, very safe.
Again, my God, what's wrong with me today? [laughs]
-Golly. [laughs] -Golly. Yeah.
Um, so, I hope
that we can move forward
and possible build on this connection.
[dramatic music playing]
Okay. Well, um, you know, you have so many qualities
that I desire in a woman.
You're confident, you're gorgeous,
-you're humble as well... -Mmm-hmm.
which the combination of those is amazing.
And, uh, our future being with geographical difference
that, you know... You know, your son being in North Carolina as well.
And me being in Houston,
um, the distance between us is somewhat unrealistic.
-Mmm-hmm. -Right?
You know, I mean, just to, um--
-I mean, maybe. -[David] Yeah. [laughs]
I mean, I feel like life's short
and you have to take chances
and, you know, go after what you want
if that's what you really want, so.
Right.
It's just, uh, about, you know, um, having something
that you... It might feel right,
but it might not be right on paper.
To make such a drastic move,
um, we move forward from here
is something that I'm not willing to do.
[intense music playing]
Hmm.
I don't know what else to say.
I mean, I'm actually a little shock.
I'm not gonna lie, so...
But, um, you know,
I just I wish I would've known sooner.
I'm not very good at goodbyes.
-That's fine. -And I don't know where--
I'm just gonna walk off.
-All right. -Oh. I'm good. Thank you.
Well, yeah.
You never wanna be the person that break someone's heart.
And the sad thing is a genuine connection did formulate.
I learned through going through this experience
that I had a very hard set of values.
The factors that just continue to pile up
are the destination as well as the kids.
And I'm in that nesting-phase
and I think that she's more of the going-out-
and-experiencing- and-enjoying life phase.
And our timing is just not quite there for that
and there's not always a fairytale ending
at the end of all relationships
and it's unfortunate.
[dramatic music playing]
Why didn't you say something like...
I just... It just doesn't add up.
I also, you know...
ruined a potential other relationship with Sam.
I'm 46 years old
and, you know, I wanna be in a relationship
and grow with someone and have a partner.
And this is exactly why I don't allow myself
to be vulnerable.
[dramatic music playing]
[Kelly] When I went into this experience,
I would not have thought that I would end up here.
Like, here with someone.
Darren represent the man that I've always searched for.
I mean, just everything that I've ever wanted.
Whoo!
[dramatic music playing]
I've only been in love a couple of times in my life
and, uh, I know when I'm in love.
I'm afraid to say I'm falling in love,
because that will trigger
my automatic response to put up a wall
to protect myself from getting hurt,
because I don't know if I deserve Kelly.
I don't know if anyone deserves Kelly.
Holy [bleep] nervous.
[exhales]
I'm nervous because there's always that one sliver
of a chance that, you know, people do change their mind.
-So, here we are. -I know. [laughs]
I came on this experience with an open heart, open mind.
That's how I live my life.
So, with that being said, I took this opportunity
and ran with it with an open heart.
And I can't wait to continue this journey with you.
[exclaims] Okay. [laughs]
All my confidence went away and I'm scared.
[laughter]
Uh, Kelly...
oh, you are the kind of woman
that I have been hiding from for most of my life
'cause I didn't think I deserved you.
I thought that I was coming here
to find a connection or love.
Mmm-hmm.
I have to admit
that's not what I came here for.
Mmm-hmm.
I came here to find Kelly.
Oh.
I have been doing a lot of soul searching
over the last year, year and a half,
and I decided I did deserve love.
I deserved a second chance at love.
Mmm-hmm.
And I don't know what else to say
other than I'm so looking forward
-to where we go next. -Yay!
Come here.
Hmm, I'm so excited.
I manifested Darren years ago.
And I've gotten lots of knockoffs
and I knew that wasn't the real deal.
Three marriages, nearly 60 years,
it's about damn time.
Sorry I'm late.
I am the luckiest man in the world.
I don't feel like the luckiest man in the world,
I am the luckiest man in the world.
So how do I feel?
Like, I just won the damn lottery.
Aw.
