[Colton] ...21 virgins landed in paradise...

[Colton] ...with someone they could lose their virginity to.

I am feeling so excited about Layne.

[Rachael] I don't wanna die a virgin.

I wanna have sex. Sounds like a good time.

Sign me up.

[Colton] There were shocking betrayals...

You have been sacrificed.

This is like a slap in the face.

He was like, "I just feel like we should be friends."

-What? -This always happens to me.

[crying] Yeah, I just am like pretty embarrassed.

[crying] I believed him and I trusted him.

You're telling people what is not true.

I didn't know it ran this deep, though.

Oh, my goodness!

[Colton] ...intimate moments.

[Ty] Jade and I do have some feelings for each other.

Could I steal a kiss from you?

[Godwin] I'm here to find my person.

Maybe I'm avoiding the L-word.

Why does everybody else feel comfortable having sex,

and, like, I don't?

Nothing is wrong with you.

[Colton] And every tear, kiss...

Wanna kiss on the lips?

-What? -What?

[Rachael] The idea of falling in love

was, like, scary at first,

but now I feel more excited than anything.

[Colton] ...and awkward conversation.

Right.

What if tomorrow, there are other sparks elsewhere?

-Me and Jade-- -Oh, dang!

[Colton] ...has led up to this.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[Spencer] Whoa, what the...?

What is going on right now?

[Colton] Who will Jade choose?

Which couple will make it to The Big Finish?

This is the biggest moment of your journey here.

Each couple will be moving in together.

Oh, my God!

Sara, your mother, Joann, cannot wait to catch up with you.

Oh, my God.

Are you really a virgin?

Jade can choose one guy to take to The Big Finish.

Ty.

[Kaitlyn] Ty has connected with Jade on an emotional level.

Godwin.

[Kaitlyn] But physically,

Jade is hot for a bit of God-bod.

[Colton] It's crazy to think that we started with so many virgins

and now we're down to our final three couples.

Rachael, Michael,

Sara and Jake,

and Brooklyn and Layne.

Congratulations.

The journey to find the person you lose your virginity to isn't easy.

[Kaitlyn] But also, your journey is far from over.

For these next three days, you'll be tested as couples

to see if you're compatible off the island.

[Colton] At The Big Finish, it'll be up to each of you

to determine if you want to leave together

or go your separate ways.

[Sara] I have no idea what's gonna happen,

but there is a possibility that I could be leaving

the island with a boyfriend

and not a virgin.

And that just really makes me feel happy.

-Go enjoy the night. -[contestants] Thank you.

Congratulations.

-Yeah, I want in on that. -Yay!

-[contestants] Hi! -[Kaitlyn] Hello!

-Hi, ladies. -Oh, my gosh, cuties!

We have a fun celebratory brunch for you guys.

[excited overlapping chatter]

[♪ upbeat music playing]

[Michael] Now that all the riffraff is gone,

it's gonna be a lot easier to just focus on us.

Both me and Rachael just haven't really faced our virginity

and the fact that we're doing it together,

it could lead to some, some of that good stuff.

Do you wanna try the parfait?

Of course, if you're feeding me.

-[Kaitlyn] Oh, wow. -[Michael] Yummy, huh?

[all laughing]

[Kaitlyn] So, now that we're all together,

what do we feel like we've all learned on this journey?

God, I learned about my physical intimacy issues.

Yeah.

That one I'm still going through.

I mean, for us it's definitely just me kind of confusing Sara

in a lot of different ways.

We had to just really kind of get on the same page.

My favorite saying is, "Communication is lubrication."

-It really is. -[Jake] Okay.

[laughter]

So I'm sure, obviously, you're wondering

what the final days here are gonna look like.

Yeah.

As soon as this brunch is over,

each couple will be moving in together...

into their very own Love Shack.

Oh, my God.

[♪ dramatic music playing]

[Colton] Spending intimate time together over these final days

will help you confidently answer the question: Are You My First?

[Kaitlyn] So, we told you from the beginning

that we were gonna push you out of your comfort zones

and this is the biggest,

most important moment of your journey here.

[Rachael] Moving in with Michael is a big deal to me

and it's just really overwhelming,

because now, I realize how real it is

that I think I could totally see myself losing my virginity to Michael.

I encourage all of you to continue to be brave

and allow yourselves to be surprised

about what you might discover about one another.

I don't think I've ever been with a man,

like, 24/7 like this before.

So, we're really gonna have some quality one-on-one time.

I'm ready.

This will all lead up to your final day here.

You'll have an opportunity to declare your feelings

to one another at The Big Finish.

Did you find love here?

Or will you leave broken-hearted?

-It's a lot. -[Michael] What?

I think this week is gonna get real.

I just have issues being vulnerable and intimate with people.

So, I think I'm gonna have to confront some fears of mine

and that's spooky.

[♪ curious music playing]

Thank you. Okay, enjoy your time.

-We'll see you soon. -We'll see you soon.

[overlapping goodbyes]

-Oh, goodness. -Oh, wow.

[Brooklyn] My heart started, like, racing when they said that.

[Jake] Oh, man.

Yeah.

I'm actually very excited to be going in the Love Shack

and maybe sleeping in the same bed with Jake

because I'm learning that the physical intimacy is really important to me.

These days are gonna go by very quick now.

[Sara] Mm-hm.

-They're gonna go by really quickly. -Are you okay?

You're, like, shaking a little bit.

-Am I shaking? -A little bit.

I don't know, I just...

I know this is gonna sound really crazy.

If there is only one bed...

Even if, like, the bed is huge,

like, I could just put, like, a crap ton of, like, pillows between us?

-Mm-mm. -No?

[Jake] I'd feel better...

And I want you to enjoy the bed and everything like that.

Is that okay?

-Okay, yeah. Okay. -Okay?

I believe that the bed should be saved for marriage to sleep together.

I have had other situations where I have slept over

and things have gotten a little handsy

and it's more of a regret

rather than feeling happy about what I just did.

But are you okay with us staying in the same place, and...

Yeah. Yeah, we can stay in the same place. It's just, I--

-I'ma have to sleep on the floor. -Okay.

I am sexually attracted to Jake.

It's just, like, hard 'cause I feel like he's not,

he's not feeling the same way towards me.

And I do feel like Jake is closing himself off more and more.

[Jake] But, I'll wake you up in the morning...

-[chuckles] -...and then I get to see you.

-See me with my glasses. -With no makeup on, yeah.

-My gla-- No, no makeup. -No makeup on.

Like, I don't even think I have it fully processed yet.

No. Yeah, I'm fully panicked.

-Yeah. -Like, I'm very, very particular

-about who's in my space. -Really?

-So, to share a space... -Oh, gosh.

...with anybody is hard for me,

-let alone, like, a guy. -Yeah.

Like, I'm trying to, like, convince myself,

-"Yeah, it'll be fun." -Uh-huh.

[Rachael] Right now, I'm just, like, freaking out

because sharing my space is, like, a thing for me.

This is something that has happened in my past

and maybe in past relationships I didn't care if it ruined everything.

-That's nice. -Yay!

-[giggles] -Wow.

I've never had a girlfriend

and this is my first time living with a female,

like, a romantic kind of way.

So, I'm definitely worried about, like,

I mean, just sharing a bathroom with a girl.

[laughs]

-It's like one of these. -Oh, wow.

-Where you, like, roll the dice. -Okay, that's pretty cool.

[Kaitlyn] Time alone in the Love Shack with their partners

is the virgins' chance to confront all of their fears and barriers to intimacy,

but also a chance to avoid doing that,

like they've been doing for their entire lives.

[Rachael] [gasps] We have a hot tub!

We are totally getting in that.

-Oh, I don't know. -What?

-No, we're getting in. -Oh, okay. [laughs]

the place where the magic doesn't happen.

-[♪ angelic choral music playing] -[Jake] There's a couch.

-I'm so actually really happy-- -At least you have somewhere to go.

-A toast... -Toast.

...to getting to know each other even better this week.

-[glasses clink] -Alright.

[Brooklyn] This week is extremely important for me and Layne

because I do want to get deeper with him

and I wanna see if we can make it work on the outside.

Because Layne is somebody that I can see myself losing my virginity to.

[Colton] Seems like Brooklyn's in an "open lane,"

but Jake's rules for day one with Sara in a Love Shack

sound more like day one with a cellmate in a supermax prison.

Obviously, like I said, I can't stay in the same bed with you.

-Mm-hm. -But I'm definitely willing to

be in the same room and, and see what we can do.

[Sara] I mean, I'm okay with it,

but also Kaitlyn and Colton said that this will help

or make our relationship crumble,

-so I think-- -Wait, crumble?

Like crumble, like, kinda like it's either you leave the island

-with your relationship or you don't. -Oh, yeah, true.

So, I think that this is the test.

I think that Sara and I are really compatible

when it comes to the emotional,

but I do think right now we are not compatible

when it comes to the physical.

So, those are hard questions that we need to answer

during the time of us living together.

[Kaitlyn] As day two of the Love Shack experiment dawns,

the sun isn't the only thing rising.

The couples are one day closer to The Big Finish ceremony

and are as close as peas in a pod.

Admittedly for Jake and Sara,

that pod would need to be as long as the distance from the bed to the couch.

I liked holding your hand last night

when we were going to sleep, and this morning.

-I think it's romantic. -Do you?

-Yeah. -I thought so, too.

First night in the Love Shack, pillow wall goes up.

Uh, I think that's just in response

to how she was feeling during the day

and just me letting her know, like, we will take as long as it needs.

You know, I'm feeling pretty good.

I think that on this pace,

we're on track to lose some of the pillows in the wall.

[Brooklyn] I wonder how everyone else is doing this morning.

Yeah, I know. [laughs]

Like, I wonder about, like...

[both laughing]

Last night was my, uh, first night

to sleep with a girl all night in bed.

So I guess I lost my, uh, sleeping-in-a-bed-with-a-girl virginity.

[Brooklyn laughs]

It was so nice, like, just like laying in Layne's arms in bed

and I'm just, like, so happy right now. I'm like, "Woo-hoo!"

Like, this is going great.

I think I am maybe getting what I came here for.

[Kaitlyn] Day two of the Love Shack chapter

promises big steps towards intimacy.

Well, big baby steps.

To live together, it won't just be each other's approval they'll need.

[both knocking]

-Oh, wow. -Jake.

-Hi! It's me. -How are you?

Oh, my God! Hi! I was like, "What the hell?"

-Can I come in and chat with y'all? -Yeah, of course.

-Yeah. -Amazing.

Do you wanna have a seat on the couch here?

-Sure. -Let's, let's.

We have one big hurdle left

and that is meeting each other's loved ones.

[whispers] Oh, yes. It's the families.

Layne, I can see it already. You're a little nervous.

-[Layne] Oh, I'm freaking nervous, yeah. -Yeah?

Just I gotta-- have to impress 'em.

[Brooklyn] My parents can be protective of me.

So, they're gonna try to see through

anything that's going on.

I'm gonna get outta here. I'll see you later.

[Brooklyn/Layne] Bye.

So, I did bring a laptop today for you.

Okay.

Rachael, your mom, Dee, she's really excited to

-hear everything, yeah. -Oh, my God, I'm so excited!

Oh, it's gonna be so emotional. I love it.

And Rachael, also,

your friend, Renae, cannot wait to catch up with you

-and hear everything. -Oh, my God.

So I'm so excited to see my mom,

but I am dying to talk to Renae.

She is my soulmate.

She knows me better than I know myself.

She'll be able to really, really judge

if he's the right guy for me.

Okay. Good luck.

-[Rachael] Thank you. -See you later.

[Colton] How was the first night?

[Jake] It was good. It was good.

She got to be a princess and have the bed all to herself.

-You gave her the bed all alone? -[Sara] Very nice.

-[Colton] Where did you sleep? -Right here.

-Oh, you slept on the daybed? -Mm-hm.

Got it, got it, got it.

Well, I have brought a laptop here

and it's gonna allow you to virtually check in...

with some of the most important people in your life.

And Sara, your mother, Joann,

cannot wait to catch up with you.

[chuckles] Oh, my God.

I am extremely close with my mom. I call her my best friend.

I tell her every single thing about me

and what's going on in my life.

I haven't gone this long without, like, talking to my mom.

But it's the first time I've been with anyone romantically before.

So, I am actually very nervous to tell my mom about Jake.

I really hope you guys use this to let them into your bubble now.

-Yeah. -And this is gonna give you guys clarity

-and exactly what you need. -Yeah.

Alright, so I'd really like you to meet my friend, Spencer.

-Yeah, let's do it. -Let's let him in.

[Kaitlyn] Generally, meeting F and F, "friends and family,"

is best done F to F, "face to face."

I'm Layne's best friend. I've, uh-- I know everything about him,

-so if you have any questions, shoot. -Way too much.

[Kaitlyn] Regardless, our virgins will be able to feel

the warmth coming through the screen

and off the screen 'cause these are old laptops.

I can tell already you guys are so cute. [laughs]

Aw, I love that so much.

Michael told me you were gorgeous and you are gorgeous.

-It's so true. -Thank you.

-It's so wonderful. -Yes. I got a handsome one.

Do you have relationship advice for us?

He should make you twice as much dinner as you make him.

Yeah, if he eats my dinner, he might die.

-[Michael] Mm-hm. -[Casey laughs]

Hi, Zach.

Yeah, so Sara, tell me, do you think you and Jake are compatible?

I definitely don't wanna push or rush anything.

-He's my first relationship. -Okay. Okay.

So, yeah.

This could be a one and done situation, you know?

[Sara chuckles]

We shall see.

I'm just gonna put it out there.

Ya look a little bit like Harry Potter.

[all laughing]

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

-Well, Rachael loves Harry Potter. -Oh, okay. So it's a good thing.

-Yeah. -I'm taking it as a compliment.

-Yeah, I mean it's better than Vector. -Yeah.

-[both laughing] -[Dee] Absolutely.

[Kaitlyn] So glad our Hogwarts Quidditch king Michael

didn't mention trying to get his hands on Rachael's snitch.

Now, will the founding father and mother

grant approval for a new Layne in Brooklyn?

You and my dad are matching.

[Layne] Oh, perfect.

Oh, my goodness, I've been dreading this moment.

I'm terrified of meeting her parents.

I see a future with her

and it'd be very challenging to be with her

and her parents not like me.

I was just gonna tell you guys, like, a little bit about him, and--

Let him tell us, yeah.

[♪ tense music playing]

Uh, so, I'm from like a pretty--

like, middle of nowhere in Oklahoma, Western Oklahoma,

and me and my best friend

now we own a business in Austin, Texas.

So, you're in Austin, Brooklyn's in LA.

Where do you see this going?

I mean, I've never done this before, so, uh...

[clicks tongue] that's a good question, um...

-What about Brooklyn drew you to her? -Um...

What made you wanna do the show to begin with?

Do your values align with each other then?

-Well... -How would you define,

like, a healthy relationship?

Oh, my goodness. It was like going to an interview, like,

for the police investigation or something, like...

[Chris] So, my question to you, and I'm lookin' straight at you:

Are you really a virgin?

What the heck, man?!

Most definitely. Yes.

I'm act-- I'm really a virgin. [chuckling] I'm really a virgin.

Okay. Okay.

I think things went amazing with Layne meeting my parents.

I don't think they-- that they liked me that much.

Feel like, if my parents love him, I'm like, he could really be the one then.

-Nice to meet you guys. -[Chris] Nice to meet you, Layne.

Hopefully I'll meet you again,

-maybe in real life. -Nice to meet you.

[Sara] Jake, ready?

-I'm ready. -Come on.

-This is Joann, right? -Joann.

-Joann. -Mm-hm.

Here, hold on one second. Lemme shut this, 'kay. Okay.

[Jake chuckles]

Hello.

-Hello. How are you? -[Sara chuckles]

-Good, good. -How old are you?

Thirty-two.

Do you know how to fight?

[Jake] Do I know how to fight?

No, I don't know how to fight.

[Sara chuckles]

[Jake laughs]

We're gonna need to get you in some lessons or something

'cause you know this is, like, my most prized possession right here.

-So, if some stuff pops off... -Yeah.

...I need somebody who's gonna be able to protect her.

[Sara] My mom just calls it how it is

and she doesn't really hold back much,

but her opinion means everything to me.

It's extremely important.

I've never seen her reaction to anybody that I've been dating

because I haven't dated anyone. [chuckles]

So, are y'all considering yourselves together?

-[♪ tense music playing] -Or, like, in a relationship?

Official of, like, girlfriend and boyfriend,

that hasn't happened.

Are y'all hugging often? Are y'all kissing often?

Are y'all-- Or is that uncomfortable?

There's certain things that I only feel comfortable

in, like, a marriage-setting type thing.

[Sara] Like, right now, currently, like, we're in this room,

but he's sleeping on the couch.

Like, he doesn't, he doesn't wanna sleep in the same bed as me

because, rightfully so, I'm not his wife.

[♪ tense music continues]

So you couldn't lay in the bed, sleeping?

I don't sleep over, at all, uh, with, with anyone.

And I have had a past where I have done that.

I would cuddle and cuddles would lead into a little bit more things.

So, you don't have self-control?

That's what you're basically saying.

[♪ dramatic, tense music playing]

I guess in a way I don't.

You know, as a parent you would love to hear

that nobody's just trying to jump, like, your kid's bones, you know?

But I also know that chemistry is an important part of certain things

and not-- and you could have that without being super physical.

I just-- Y'all, communicate.

That would be the only thing that would be my ask and advice to y'all.

-Mm-hm. Alright, thank you. -Thanks, Mom.

Yeah, Joann, thanks. So nice meeting you.

-Go USA. -[Sara] Go USA.

[Sara laughs]

[Jake] I don't think her mom likes me.

Right when I got on the phone call,

I think I was challenged every single moment

and every single second.

She didn't like the idea

that I actually wasn't sleeping in the same bed with Sara,

which I was just very, like, shocked.

Yeah, it was a lot of questions. [chuckles]

That was a lot of questions? I was taking it easy on him.

-Just... Yeah. -But do you like him?

[♪ music stops]

I don't like or dislike him.

[♪ "Pack of Lies" by James Davies playing]

Well, I respect all of your answers. [sighs] And I love you.

I'm definitely a little frustrated

because my mom is validating everything I already kind of knew,

but I really like Jake, so it is confusing me a little bit.

-[birds chirping] -[ocean waves crashing]

[Colton] Just when Michael thought he'd escaped the loved one's call

with just a harmless Harry Potter comparison,

he found himself in a sequel.

Let's hope it's not Harry Potter and the Deathly Silences.

Rachael's always been my third wheel.

Oh, really? So this is the first time you're third-wheeling.

How does it feel?

Well, I don't know.

I kinda feel like you might be the third wheel. [laughs]

Actually, that's so true. [laughs]

I think it's really nice to have Renae because she's gonna ask the questions

that I want to ask,

but I haven't had the balls to ask myself.

If she didn't like him, it would make me look into it a little differently.

Like, maybe I'm missing something.

Do you think he's cute, or like,

-h-how are you feeling about this? -Oh yeah, do-do you think--

I think he's your type.

-[both laughing] -[Renae] She told you about her type?

-[Rachael] He's got a great personality. -He's not my type.

[laughs] She said, "He's not my type."

Damn. Alright.

So, are you trying to get married?

Like, I'm trying to feel you out.

Marriage... marriage is a little bit, uh, out of the way.

Some people just aren't interested.

And then there's people like Rachael who is dating to find her person

and not dating to have a good time.

So, I just didn't know if you guys matched up on that.

Well, looks like we gotta talk about that. [laughs]

Well, it looks like we're having a fight later. Uh...

[both laughing]

[♪ intense music playing]

Um, no, I don't know. We--

I think it's very new.

It's all foreign to me: that, the relationship,

like, throwing in, uh,

what seems like a big mountain to climb of long distance.

Um, it's just a lot, you know?

I, I guess there's a fear of, like, I don't know,

every time we see each other it's gonna be,

we're starting from scratch

and trying to get through it and then it just--

I don't know, it-- the whole thing's just--

You haven't told me this.

You haven't asked. [chuckles]

Good job, Renae. We're gettin' some new information out of him.

[both nervously chuckle]

I'm surprised that Michael's so hesitant about the long distance

because I'm so open to it.

I came here to find somebody

I would want to pursue a relationship with on the outside.

So, I dunno, it worries me a little bit.

Would he, you know,

give this a chance if it was long distance?

You don't wanna wonder "What if?"

You guys will figure it out or it won't work,

but you won't regret something that you tried

and you knew you gave it your all.

-Mm-hm. -Yeah, see?

-[chuckles] -It's fine, it's easy.

[Michael] I'm definitely feeling overwhelmed.

What I thought was gonna be a nice, simple phone call

ends up being really a tutorial on how to do long distance

and now I'm, like, really just having to be faced by it.

I just need time to process everything.

I just hope you know, like, how big of a deal it is

that Rachael even has a connection.

Like, you should feel so special.

Yeah, especially since I'm ugly. So it's really-- It's good.

[Colton] The virgins tried winning over their partner's loved ones.

Some were smooth as silk,

others as smooth as silk with broken glass and razor wire.

With time running out before The Big Finish,

they must gauge if their first impression

was actually their worst impression.

Our relationship has grown so much

-and now it's like... -Mm-hm.

...getting harder to be--

-Yeah, not be with you. -Aw, that's so sweet.

Just like crazy how, like, this experience

has really pushed me in so many ways.

I feel like we see a confident Sara now.

-Oh yes, thank you. -A confident Sara,

-you know what you want... -Mm-hm.

...and everything like that, which is awesome.

Learning to just, like, gradually speak up for myself

and not to bottle things in.

I just have to keep reminding myself

-that, like, my words matter too. -[Jake] Mm-hm.

Have you processed any of it today?

Um...

-Care to share those emotions? -[exhales sharply]

I really like you,

but I'm scared to take on long distance.

I think you make excuses of why it can't work

and I don't know why you're not thinking about why it can.

I could be wrong, but that's just, I guess, my fear.

-Oh, I slept really good. [sighs] -Yeah, me too.

It's my favorite time.

After last night, Michael and I got really close.

We were kissing in bed and having some fun

kind of exploring each other more physically,

but now I just want more.

No, I feel like last night was really good for us, though.

[Michael] Mm-hm.

Definitely needed that.

But now it's a little hard, 'cause

I'm gonna be missing that part of our relationship.

Especially like today, thinking about long distance.

"But sadly, it has come to an end."

"Take your time and say your goodbyes

No, that's too soon.

-Wow. -Well...

-I hate that card. -Yeah.

This has just been a whirlwind of emotion and just, like, fast and intense.

commitment is a big step and I've never done it before.

Time has flown by so fast.

Yeah, but... t--

things change.

My mom is the most important person to me in my life

and I always am gonna take every single thing that she says into account.

But I like Jake and I came here to find love

and it would just be super amazing

that I could be leaving the island with a boyfriend.

So, I just have a lot to think about for myself.

-See you on the beach. -See you on the beach.

-[Michael] Mm. -Let's just run away together.

They can't catch us.

While I'm gonna, like, miss hanging out with her,

I do actually think the alone time's gonna be good.

Going into this, like, I was hopeful,

but I didn't think that I would find love.

So, I feel more pressure right now

than I've ever felt with a girl before.

Tomorrow's gonna be scary.

Do I, like, start preparing myself for the worst?

Don't do that.

Long distance is a huge commitment for me

and it's something that I worry about.

Alright, have a good day and next day,

I was writing in my journal

and I was writing the pros and the cons

and the pros were:

beautiful,

kind,

considerate, [sniffles]

supportive,

and best friend.

And the cons...

I couldn't find anything.

So that being said, I would be a fool to let you go.

will you be my girlfriend?

[Kaitlyn] During the Jake and Sara love saga,

there's been many ups and downs.

Unfortunately, none of the bed sheet variety,

but Jake's still intent on finishing on a high.

Jake...

[♪ gentle music playing]

...I've had so many firsts with you.

My first date, my first proper kiss,

and my first relationship here.

You've been a gentleman

making sure that I'm getting princess treatment.

These are qualities that I value

and want in a relationship,

so thank you for helping me realize that

these are the things I want in a partner.

But...

[♪ music stops]

[voice breaking] ...no, I can't be your girlfriend.

♪♪

What was missing for me was not only the physical,

but receiving mixed signals from you.

There were things that you might've been doing

-that were a little controlling. -Okay.

My voice matters,

so losing myself on someone else's path is not what I want.

Mm-hm.

♪ Don't try ♪

♪ To beg me for my love ♪

♪ 'Cause I'm better off as one ♪

[sighs deeply]

So, I apologize for any areas that I was controlling in.

Everything that I tried to do

was definitely just the love in my heart.

And sometimes, I guess it doesn't-- it didn't look that way.

I mean, it never feels good to be rejected.

And also, it doesn't feel good to see a future

and then not to see it fruition.

It's sad because I could definitely see myself

losing my virginity to her,

but I think she's an amazing woman

and any man would be so lucky to have her.

[Sara] That was hard,

but it does feel empowering to put myself first.

I've obviously been guided by what he wants

more so than what I want.

I'm leaving here still a virgin,

but with a newfound confidence.

And I know in my future relationships,

I'm going to stand up for myself.

Michael, how are we doing?

-Are you excited? Nervous? -Oh.

-How are we feeling? -Um, no, it's a difficult decision.

A tough few days.

We were able to get past certain boundaries that we both had.

And, uh, it's a lot of emotions at once

that I haven't really experienced before.

[♪ light music playing]

Hi. [nervously chuckles]

-Oh, my God. So nervous. -Yes.

-So anxious. -What specifically is making you nervous?

Um, I'm nervous about where Michael's at in all this.

I'm hoping he takes the leap of faith with me,

but... based off of our conversations,

I'm scared that he's gonna, like, let his fear kind of take over.

I just got super in my head

and it just seemed like such a big commitment to me.

And I wasn't sure if I was ready yet.

Like-- And the whole time I'm keeping in mind,

like, Rachael 'cause I really don't wanna hurt her.

Yeah.

But I've definitely gotten a lot of clarity the past few days.

Good.

Do you know what you're gonna say to Rachael?

[♪ tense music playing]

Pretty nervous about my decision

and I'm scared it's gonna just blow up.

And then it's, like, she's gonna hate me

and there's so many questions looming over me

and, yeah, not knowing if I'm making the right one.

[♪ tense music continues]

I've learned in this kind of experience

that, like, receiving and accepting love is different.

-Yes. -You know?

-Than knowing you deserve it. -Yes.

And I think, I'm not sure if he's ready to receive it yet.

Gonna see what happens, I guess.

-Only a few more steps to go. -[exhales] Okay.

Okay. I'll let you go.

-Thank you. -Okay.

I know how hard this decision is gonna be for Michael,

and I know how in his head he is

because he's struggling with it so much,

it's making me struggle with it.

I wanna stay hopeful that everything will work out,

but it does feel very out of my control right now.

Michael, our journey has had its ups and its downs.

Coming in here, I knew that, like,

I would learn a lot about myself,

but I didn't know that I would meet someone like you.

I just feel like what we have is really special.

I know that I've waited a long time to meet someone like you...

[chuckles]

...who makes me feel and want to be vulnerable.

I know... we both had our things that we've been working through,

physical intimacy issues.

I really just want you to take a leap of faith with me

and just try things on the outside.

I know I'm ready and I just...

I just hope you can meet me halfway.

[♪ song ends]

I came into this experience

with no expectations, just hope.

I remember seeing you on the first day and just thinking,

[babbles] "Awooga!"

-Um... [chuckles] -[Rachael laughs]

To my surprise, you were willing to talk to me.

I remember being on that boat and we had our first kiss.

And it was smooth. I said to you, "Can I kiss you on the lips?"

And you went, "What?" And then I leaned in.

You were pretty much obsessed ever since.

Just as things started to get good though, I had to go home.

But you waited for me.

No girl has ever made me feel that important before.

When we moved into the Love Shack

and I told you that I was having

a lot of doubts... about us.

I've been filled with confusion,

but then a lot of clarity.

And it's not...

easy...

for me to say this.

I'd be a fool to end this.

-You happy? -I'm thrilled.

-Me too. -I can't believe this.
