Original subtitles

I just am so nervous to see what he's saying.

We're all putting ourselves in this position, truly just like we could get

at the end of it.

But obviously for all of us, it's nothing new, unfortunately.

I'm super anxious going into the bonfire.

I know he's going to flirt with other girls, have conversations.

It's just how fine the line is and how close he's willing to get to it or pass

it.

Welcome to your first bonfire.

It's the time where we get to check in, I get to check in with you, and we get

to talk about your experience.

And it's also where you'll all get a glimpse through clips of what your

boyfriend's experience might be.

All right, so we're going to start with you, Ashley.

Here we go.

Well, I'm beginning to consider, like, maybe it's not.

meant to be with me and ashley and i i'm i'm figuring that out thanks for being

my date thanks for inviting me honestly i was hoping that you were gonna ask me

what do you think when i put my wristband on you i don't know you were

are you most excited for for the day jumping in the water and seeing 30 foot

stingray that's great i mean hanging out with useful too okay

ashley What did you see?

I don't know what to think. I feel numb to it.

But you came here to see if you could trust him.

Is that still why you're here?

I do want to see if I can trust him. I'm still willing to give him that

opportunity, but I don't know if he knows the line between just flirting and

forming a connection with someone when you're fully in a relationship.

And I'm just trying to figure out why I've allowed myself to stay in this

situation for so long.

That's really what we're talking about here is that you can't control him at

all, but you can talk about what you deserve.

Okay, we're going to go over to Alexa.

Let's see it.

You know, at first she was seeing other people at the same time and, you know,

just being just honest with some things.

But I do harbor, like, some resentment of, like, you know, not being the first

choice. I'm usually always, like, pursued or get what I want. For me, that

like, a reality shock.

What are you feeling? What did you see?

I saw him talking about issues that I already know we have.

We know can't keep bringing that up from so long ago.

When that is a different Alexa.

I am not the same Alexa that I was when I made those choices.

I was going through a divorce.

I didn't know who I was.

And that person is not this person today that's saying, I still want to marry

you. Do you feel like you're walking around guilty for an indiscretion you

one month into your relationship four years ago?

I don't just feel guilt from that. I feel guilt from my previous marriage.

I feel guilt from...

Being the one to end it, I feel guilt from making a mistake and hurting my

family and friends in the process. I feel a lot of guilt.

All of that guilt is self -imposed.

I've never looked at it that way, but, yeah, that makes sense.

That's not okay.

Yeah.

All right.

Shante, you're next.

She's not.

the most sexual person. She's not the freakiest person, but she's just the

-hearted. But she would like her to be? I don't know. I just love a good

threesome.

But you know what? She does have a lot of great qualities. You don't think you

could have the best of both worlds?

I don't think that's ever. No one can ever. You don't think so? No one's ever

going to be the best of both worlds. Yeah, they can.

There you go.

Wow.

Jesus Christ.

I appreciate you.

Talk to me.

I'm not surprised that the threesome comment came up.

If those girls want to sit there and act like they think that that's okay,

that's on them. That's disrespectful.

Yeah.

Know that there are 12 girls there that are meant to tempt.

Yeah. What I want to know, Shante, is how do you feel?

He is the one that wanted to come here. He brought me here to show me that he

can be just friends with women, and he's not really starting off with a great

job because he knows I'm not going to like some girl licking on his neck, but

needs to take a look at himself and really think, am I ready to lose

the best woman in his life?

Sometimes the things that are big...

right now end up becoming small when your priorities change. But sometimes

things that are small right now become immeasurably and unmovably difficult

down the road.

So my charge for you is to look inward to you and ask yourself,

what do I really want or don't want?

Okay. Thought I forgot you? No.

Wouldn't do it.

She better kill it.

Oh. Oh, shit.

Play with me, huh?

Wow,

baby.

You're trouble.

You're trouble.

Oh. Don't fall for me.

I wasn't expecting that.

What's crazy is the first time I had ever hung out with Tyler in a romantic

setting and kissed him, first words out of his mouth were, you are trouble.

So for him to use those exact same words when we kissed for the very first time,

it stings. It gets some originality, at least. I mean, and I just feel

some anger.

Anger is the easiest.

emotion for us to deal with hurt scared heartbroken those are much more

difficult to get your head around could you be protecting yourself that that's

100 what it is it's armor for sure you know i have been hurt by every single

person that has walked into my life there's been no relationship around me

that's been 100 successful no bump 100 % security, safety.

I think that's like a pipe dream.

There is no such thing as a relationship where no one gets hurt.

And that armor keeps you relatively safe, but ultimately rough.

You made it through your first bonfire. I told you you would, okay?

Tomorrow, you're going to pick your next date.

So tonight, when you go back, start thinking.

You're here for a reason.

You don't get this time again.

Thanks, Mark.

You

know,

I almost feel like I'm fine being alone for the rest of my life, like just to

protect me. I don't want anybody to get close to me.

I'm good.

She's over it. I'm so over it.

I just want the truth.

Hi, welcome back.

How are you all doing? Good, good. Hey.

How are you doing?

Good, how are you?

Good. It was intense for a lot of us. Really? Yeah.

She basically was saying in the video, like, I'm never going to trust him.

He's just embarrassing me.

Like, I don't want that guy.

I felt relieved, though. You really only feel relieved?

I feel relieved.

I feel relieved.

Really? That's a telltale sign.

It is. I mean, I know it is, and I'm, like, accepting that. Grant and I

definitely started connecting a little bit more, and so...

I was expecting him to come back and, like, really need consoling, you know,

which I was prepared to do.

So for him to come back and say that he felt relieved kind of changes the game

for me. Yeah, it was intense for a lot of us.

Just want to, like, decompress.

Well, what can we do to get the vibes up?

I don't know if this is crazy, but I feel like I could go in the hot tub.

Hot tub sounds nice.

Because it's just, like, relaxing.

Relaxing, yeah.

Well, I'm down if that's what you want to do.

I'm like, I don't have to join you guys if you guys want to go.

It's a hot tub.

My connection with Grant, I think, has been good, but I also know he's feeling

Natalie, and so that's been kind of weird to, like, watch.

What are you guys drinking?

It's a mixie with tequila. I don't want to get hurt.

And I also don't want to put all my eggs in one basket in case, you know, I

don't get to know anyone else and then he ends up having a stronger connection

with her.

Okay, I'll have a drink. Okay, let's go make a drink. Let's go make a drink.

Come with us. Make a drink.

No, you guys can go.

You don't want to make a drink? It'll be fun.

I'll have the drink.

Pictures are back.

Hey guys.

It's been a night. Long night.

Do you guys want to sit and talk for a little bit?

Yeah, sure.

I think I'm okay.

Aw, Ash.

Okay.

Is that just a realization of everything? Yeah.

I'm just so mentally exhausted from all of this and, like, sitting here trying

to analyze Grant's clip and, like, what to take away from it.

You're not alone.

You know that, right?

For Grant to want to come here to prove something to me and then he's sitting

there saying, I am questioning whether we're meant to be is, like,

infuriating.

I figure out what it is with me. That's, like, what I want, and I don't want it.

Yeah, but that's going to come with time.

You bet.

I got

a lovely clip of two girls, and it was him, like, taking

a shooter off of them, and then some girl put whipped cream, like, right here

and, like, licked it, but, like...

seductively, slowly, very intensively. It's just like, what the fuck are you

doing? Like, just say no. Wait, you sent a shooter off of them? Like, a body

shot? Yeah, like a body shot.

Like, off their belly button?

Yeah.

Oh. I just see that as kind of disrespectful.

And then, why are we saying this bullshit about threesomes?

I get that he's a sexual person, but Jesus Christ.

Don't tell me you want a future and family and X, Y, Z if you still want to

that lifestyle. And I told him that if that's what you want to do, do that. I

don't do that.

Rayon is definitely at our line, our boundary, staring at it.

I just hope that he can make that decision that even though he's at that

he's not going to cross it out of respect for himself and our relationship

for me.

I want him to kind of connect and understand the emotional side of me. I'm

very big, empathetic person. Like, I feel people's emotions.

I like to talk things out. If something's bothering me, I want to talk

And sometimes he'll talk it out, but other times, since he has that lovely,

personality, he'll make a joke or he'll try to kind of, like, roll out of it and

not want to talk about it. Yeah, like, not actively listen. Sometimes I don't

even need you to say anything back.

Just listen to what, like, I'm telling you, and that's straight. Like, I just

want someone to emotionally be there in that moment.

You're okay with him, like, doing this stuff? Like, you know, like, first thing

he says, like, I heard you're into threesomes. Like, you're okay with him

that bubbly personality? Like, no, because our boundary is no kissing, no

stuff, none of that.

So, like, don't teeter the line and then think it's just going to be sunshine

and rainbows.

But, I mean, we'll see.

You know, mine started off fine. It was just Alexa.

It looked like she was crying, just saying that I don't need Lino.

I'm going back to school.

I'm looking to open a business.

Like, I don't need him.

And then it just kind of cut off there. It kind of hurts just because I didn't

think I would, you know, cure that at the first, you know, first bonfire,

honestly. Yeah, that's brutal.

You're a great guy.

You have this much going for you without her.

Yeah, I mean, but that's the thing I always have. Okay, so I've just spent

and a half years making you a better, more eligible bachelorette, and now I'm

leaving as an eligible bachelor that I was the entire time, and now you just

took from me, and what did I get to make me better? You just took my time. And

my energy. And my energy. And took away from my career aspirations.

You know, I'll have to start thinking about things differently and open myself

back up out there. And, you know, sometimes it scares me. Sometimes it

me.

I'm trying to lock in a spot to go on the next date. I definitely think we

need somebody like me in his life because I am that alpha woman. I don't

man. I just want one.

I'm surprised you're not drinking tonight, though.

No, not tonight. I need to process.

Clear head, clear mind. Not overreact.

Deal with it in the morning. Yeah fresh start

I feel like I would like to have more one -on -one conversations with Taylor.

I'd be dumb to tell you, like, I'm not feeling her, and I would like to see

where this goes. That's definitely jumping the gun, but, like, why else are

here? All right, talk to me.

Oh.

When the clip started, they were having slap dances, all this stuff. But he was

sitting, and he said, no touching, no touching.

And then she pulled him up.

And then he was just enamored, started touching our body.

It's disrespectful.

Yeah. Immature, sensitive men, they just, they crumble. They just don't know

to act.

Do you think your man's an immature, sensitive man?

Tyler has bitch tendencies.

Like, I'm just calling it like I see it. And I will say that with my chest until

the day I die.

That's dope that you can actually speak on that because you don't need to have a

bitch tendencies at all.

I want somebody to be my fucking rock and be rocking with me.

Exactly. I feel like you need somebody to be on your level and to build you up.

And I already know you're the kind of girl who's going to build somebody else

up. And you have such a mature type of mindset and it's attractive and it just

sucks that right now it's being wasted on a guy who doesn't deserve you and who

has bit tendencies on you.

Don't settle.

Don't settle.

You're sweet.

Good night,

guys. I'm going to walk you upstairs.

Oh, you are?

Yeah, I don't want you to get lost.

I just am not tired. I need to waste time.

Waste time?

Yeah.

You're about to see my messy room.

I hope tomorrow is a little bit more like... Upbeat. You are, like, wanting

upbeat vibe. Like, you seem very upbeat right now, even.

Oh, I know.

We went up to Tyler's room again, which is exactly what I wanted to happen. I

wanted to see if maybe we lingered up there longer, if the vibe was any

different. And instead of sitting on the seats, he immediately went and laid in

bed. So my mind is...

and I'm like, okay, I feel like this is saying a little something, like it's not

just me feeling what I'm feeling.

I don't even remember our first real conversation. Was it at the kitchen

that one time?

Yeah. I still remember that outfit, too.

Which one, the orange one?

You like that one?

I do like the low rise, too.

Yeah, I put my belly ring in just for you.

Just for me.

Damn,

I'm just, like, so thankful that we have you guys to, like, talk to and get your

opinions and take on things. It was, like, a comforting thing going into it.

Yeah. Like, now I can just, like, kind of relax and be myself and just kind of

go with the flow.

Natalie's really genuine.

I feel the care coming through her. Like, the energy is clear.

How have you been feeling?

I'm feeling good. I feel like it was a really long day.

Yeah. And, yeah, I was very interested to see, like, how you were going to feel

coming back.

Me particularly?

Yeah, obviously.

Not obviously.

Well, I mean, you're the only person that I've talked to since they came

I guess that is true. Yeah. Why is that?

Because I was more concerned about how you were doing than other guys.

Why? Because I like hanging out with you. All right. And I feel like we're

forming a bit of a connection, so. Yeah, I think so, too.

Yeah, you do? Mm -hmm.

Then that's good.

Natalie doesn't let go of her eye contact with you.

It's intense and it's magnetic, honestly.

You're very tempting to me.

You sound like you're falling for temptation on Temptation Island.

Yeah, no, you're good. Night -night. Good night, y 'all. Sleep well.

Thank you for talking to me. Of course.

I was with you all night.

I don't want to go to bed.

I can tell that you like physical touch.

That's your love language.

I can tell that you do too, though. I know I do.

Grant is just not, like, typically someone that I would go for.

But he has a really good heart. And, like, the things that I've lacked in

relationships is, like, what he wears on his sleeve.

I don't know if I'm going to make it.

You think I'll make it till ever?

Till the end?

When do you mean the end?

When I decide to enlighten you at the end of this process.

He automatically makes me feel really comfortable, and that's what I really

like. I feel like I love this stage. I love, like, to tease, like, what's going

to happen.

It seems like the tables have turned and you're trying to tempt me.

What? Am I tempting you?

Well, of course you're tempting me. Why?

But I want you. What's so tempting?

I fall so hard and deeply so resigned.

I set these boundaries for myself to not give in to temptation, but I know that

if I didn't think about Ashley, it would make me happy to be intimate with

Natalie. I'm kind of having an internal battle, you know, with my brain and my

heart.

I think that you should really consider your boundaries.

Oh, yeah, why's that?

Mm -hmm. Why's that?

I just want you to know what you want.

I just want you to really know what you want.

I think I want.

And be sure of what you want.

Okay.

Will do.

I'll just work on that.

Good night.

Bye.

like other guys and people that you meet like what some criteria or stuff that

stands out to you that you really look for i usually like gravitate towards the

most like confident guy in the room i love like doing new shit being

so when i met grant that really drew me into him like passion for life yeah and

that's what grant has and i think that's totally changed like what i want in

someone but i was single for so long and i felt like i was in such a good

headspace that I was like, why would the universe give me this, like, piece of

shit van?

Like, it was like, I keep wanting to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I just don't know if he deserves me.

I don't know.

Grant's either going to respect me or he's not, and we'll figure that out at

end, but I can't dictate my actions based off of his and my emotions.

You guys have been just rock solid through all of this. You think so?

Yeah, I think so.

What made you come here?

See, I feel like I've got everything that I want except for somebody to share

things with.

Yeah. And just looking for that right person.

Yeah. I've been single for three years now.

It doesn't feel that long, but it sounds long. Yeah.

If we're getting, I'm going to be 30 next year.

You're going to have a midlife crisis?

Maybe. You're going to forget about it?

Maybe. I'm looking forward to it. 30 is going to be the best year. It's going to

be the best year. I'm just thinking, I'm going to go back to school.

I'm going to be a stronger person.

I don't know, maybe I'll have learned a bunch of stuff from mom.

You know?

We've got a really good, easy connection right now. So however she wants to

kind of play it, friendship.

You know, open up to me, whatever.

I'm here for anything.

Let's go!

Does your feet get pruney? Yeah.

I'm just having a good day, having a good day, having a

real good morning.

mysterious aura around her and it's something that excites me it's something

God damn it. It's a point.

Danny! Come on, Danny.

The competitiveness.

I'm, like, looking at them. I'm like, damn.

Oh, my gosh.

I was not open to romantic vibe until last night.

Case is really sweet.

Cody's from South Carolina.

He has, like, the exact same Southern values and wants.

I have formed three connections here that are really strong.

I want to make sure that I did what I came to do, you know, be open, be

vulnerable, and connect with as many people as I can.

I don't know. I feel like I'm kind of playing with fire with Cody a little

The more I get to know him, the stronger the spark is going to be.

And you're scared of it. And you're scared of that. Yeah. I don't want to

the pot. The pot is hot.

Alright,

so last night was our first bonfire.

A little emotional, but today we're going to loosen up a bit.

So we're going to have a very sexy, very tempting island paint relay race.

You're going to cover yourselves with paint, and you're going to run up to

guy, and you're going to cover him.

Best you can.

You just cannot use your hands. And then the losing boy has to do a naked lap

while we all walk.

Plot twist.

So the stakes are high.

I cannot wait. So let's get it.

All right, first ladies up in three, two, one, go.

Go. Come on, come on.

Lay down, lay down, lay down.

The thing with me and Tyler is I already feel super comfortable with him, so

sorry you guys are going to lose.

Aw, babe.

Come on, Tay.

Please come back. Oh

the game so we could see grant run around that deck

you

guys did that on fucking purpose yeah what do

you guys say we go shower off absolutely in your shower

How many can I do, Danny?

How many can I do?

Hello. We're going in.

Let's see.

Let's see it.

A for effort.

That actually looked really athletic. That was actually really impressive.

Thank you.

So, we get to go on dates tomorrow, and I think Shantae

and I were thinking maybe you guys would want to go?

We'd love to.

so nice and sweet and respectful and i was like he would want to have fun and

it's just going to be good i'm glad no i'd love to i am very attracted to logan

but i think danny is the most fun in the house right now i think i need someone

to just keep my energy up and i think him and geo will have good energy off of

each other that'll keep me and chante like excited and happy to be there

to just get to know you better you know yeah i'm ready to have some fun

So far, everyone's really cool.

I want to build genuine connections. Like, we could end up being, like,

close friends after this. Like, who knows? You know what I mean? Or, like,

of us.

Mm -hmm.

If I was, like, my old self, right, before the girlfriend I have now, this

exactly how I fuck women.

I'm gonna play that cool role.

And that's me, too. Like, I fuck my friends.

Bro, I fuck full friend groups.

There's a lot of comfortability there.

Yeah, you know what I'm saying? And then we would fuck, and then they would

just... Then they're back to being my friend.

Yeah, I don't know. I told you, my sex drive is out of control.

But it's like, I'm just over here. I'm trying to ask myself questions like, am

with the right person? Am I...

Because now I see you can be there's a lot of girls here who are very sexual

very Emotionally and will support me. You know I'm saying like there is that

there You know why I only thought like I have to give up one of the other and I

think maybe you don't have to kill you can have a woman that will jump your

bones at any minute and what Shantae brings with the you know Emotional

and you know something.

I don't know

She definitely works in the house on the physical side.

Just because she just knows how to look. She has pretty eyes. She knows what

she's doing.

I think before anything, though, I do want to be like, that's the poor system

for you, too.

Because I do fuck with you, you know?

I fuck with you, too. Yeah.

I do fuck with you. I think you're really cool. We're going to be the

that fuck.

You know what I'm saying?

I think Lino is super wholesome, but I'm really feeling Breon, and I think we

have so much sexual tension. Like, I just want to rip his clothes off.

Why you over here talking like that?

Looking at me, looking like that.

Why you over here talking like that? Yeah, you're making me think about that.

All right, guys.

It's going to be a good night. We got some s'mores playing.

I've got a bonfire.

Earlier, you guys all gave a secret about yourself.

We're going to guess, and after that, we're all going to find out tonight what

that is. What'd you say?

This person had sex with someone 24 years older than them.

Logan. Logan. Logan.

Hashim.

Hashim?

This person loves to go downtown. They put in the work.

You guys caught me.

Let's just say the tongue doesn't stop.

Wow.

Hey,

let the boys eat. Let the boys eat. Come on.

Get a lockjaw. It's fine.

This person prefers someone that likes to eat ass.

What? That's Logan.

That's Danny or Logan.

Cody's a little too quiet.

Sometimes you just start doing what you're doing, you know, and like to have

good time.

I've never eaten ass, and I don't intend to eat ass.

Live fast and eat ass. That's it.

This person likes to role play.

Definitely Taylor.

Nothing's wrong with a little blue girl action or a little bad cop.

Makes sense. Yeah. Definitely makes sense. I'm not surprised.

Are you the cop or are you the prisoner?

What?

Good answer.

This person had sex on a yacht.

Speech. With the groupie. In his mom's car. Behind a target. Multiple

I knew it. I knew it.

I didn't see that one coming.

I'm not going to kink shame.

S'mores? S'mores?

S'mores. I want a s'more.

Oh my god, Danny, are you going to make me a s'more? Yeah, I got you right here.

Oh, thank you. You like it crispy, creamy, or what? Ooh, creamy, baby.

Hell yeah.

I'll make it perfect, all right?

I know you will.

I was not expecting you to like ass play.

A little freaky freaky.

You know, you know. I mean, you like role play, too. Yeah.

I mean, that's not ass freaky freaky.

My intention with K is to really see if this is really genuine.

Would you do me a huge favor?

Yeah. In like five minutes, would you go ahead and give it to K? Yeah.

I am going to take K on my next date, and I'm ready for that.

That's great.

I shouldn't have guessed that.

I got asked on the date.

It was so cute. I'm going to keep that note forever.

I think it showed with the note that he definitely wanted to try and do

something different, something that he feels like he could tailor to me

specifically.

You're so cute.

Oh, did you get my note?

I did. It was passed along.

He's putting in some effort, which is awesome.

You have cute handwriting.

It looks like a toddler wrote it, doesn't it? It does.

But honestly, we've kind of been vibing on all the levels of deep conversations,

kind of more like, you know, good banter over the past couple days. Like, I

really haven't found myself, you know, exploring other options. And after the

bonfire last night and just how we've been connecting, like, you know, I just

kind of feel us going in that direction. And so, hence why I just wanted to

write you that note. We're going to have so much fun.

At least I hope so. I feel like we will. Why would we not?

How could we possibly not?

This was a tougher decision for me to pick who I wanted to ask on a date.

Do I want to ask someone I've really connected with?

Do I want to ask someone who I haven't had the chance to talk to in three

months? Or do I want to ask someone who hasn't been able to go on a date yet?

Do you mind if I stay with Courtney for a quick second? Of course.

I'll get out of here. I was meant to head to the pool anyway.

Babe.

Bye. Bye.

Bye.

Thank you.

They're very nice.

If you could take a little bouquet. Thank you.

But I think I just enjoyed every conversation we've had.

You're beautiful.

And you are my number one in the house.

You know what I'm saying?

Am I?

Oh, for sure.

That's not even close.

Would you go on a date with me? I would love to.

Good, good. I've been waiting for you.

Ultimately, I chose Courtney. I think me and her vibe really, really well.

She's also challenging me if I want to be with Chante. Like, is that really

you want?

In my opinion, she deserves a date from me.

And, you know, I know it'll be a great time.

I'm excited for whatever it is. I mean, if it's with Courtney, it's not going to

be a bad time.

Holly, Holly, Holly.

What's up?

I've been thinking a while, and...

Tomorrow's our second day, and I want to dash you.

I would love to go on your day tomorrow.

That makes me happy.

But I'm really excited, actually.

I'm glad I was with you two.

Really? Mm -hmm. We're going to have so much fun. I know. It was an easy choice

for me.

Since you've been cooped up in here, I want to ask if you would go on my date

with me tomorrow.

Are you joking?

I would love that. Really?

Absolutely. Okay, let's do it.

I'm excited.

I appreciate you. I really do. I really do. I appreciate you.

What is your, like, day -to -day?

With work? Yeah.

So, like, during the week, I have an office downtown Charleston. Okay. And

when I get off work, I do my real estate appointments.

Yeah? Yeah. I love the crowd.

I love that. That means a lot, you know, to actually do something that you

actually love.

Yeah.

Well... Would you like to go on a date with me tomorrow? I would love to. Okay.

I would love to. Can I have a hug?

Yes, of course.

I'm still interested in Taylor. Like, that hasn't changed since I got here. I

think we established a really good connection, and I've been trying to give

space. Obviously, she's been getting pressed by certain individuals.

But I'm excited.

Yes, I'm super excited.

You're very in high demand.

You're busy. Yeah.

I wrote you something, actually.

Really? Yeah.

This is so cute.

Starts the letter talking about how I received the most bracelets, which was,

like, felt good. And he kind of just is talking about how much strength and

courage it takes to just even put myself in this position and that he admires

that. And whatever happens next, I should be really proud of myself for

these steps to get there.

That was really sweet.

I'm trying hard not to cry. That was really sweet.

No, don't cry.

Thank you. You're welcome.

It's so nice to confirm that there are men out there that are willing to put in

the effort and do little things.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

Looking for those blue skies and bright lights. I know we're going to find it

when we're climbing.

Excited. Let's get out the villa and go have fun. Yeah.

This is what the little life feels like. And we're living in it. You're

living in it.

This is so pretty.

Wait, it feels so good.

I picked Max. for my date because he has been such a good listener. What a great

group to do this with. Honestly.

Yeah.

Hell yeah.

It's really, really easy to open myself up and to talk to him about vulnerable

things and he gives me another perspective to look at stuff.

It's a beautiful view. Yeah.

Oh my God, the crab.

He blends in.

You guys want to do a cheers?

Yeah. Cheers.

Some unforgettable memories with two amazing women. That's right. Thank you.

Thanks, Max.

Cheers, guys. Cheers.

Let me ask y 'all a question. What brought y 'all here? I mean, for me,

he cheated in the past, so he wanted to prove something, and the fastest way to

prove it is go on this experience and get to the end and see if he can

you know, temptation.

And then again, just to gain clarity of Tyler is my person overall.

I wouldn't bring my girl here. Yeah. I mean, that's really, I'm a jealous type

as well, I guess, you know, and what's mine is mine. I'm not going to share it

with 12 other guys, let their thing look like I couldn't do it. I feel like he's

the typical guy that I go for. He's super dominant, super assertive. I feel

he's a smooth talker.

I definitely feel like it's a red flag because it's something I've dealt with

the past in multiple different relationships.

So, you know, I'm just looking out for myself.

Did you guys have any conversations with your boyfriends? Like, you know, there

is a chance that we come here and we leave either, you know, not together or

with another person. Like, were those conversations had?

Yeah. We have a lot of stakes.

If we don't leave together, it's not just me and him devastated.

It's a lot of people in our lives. I mean, I hope he's thinking with this

and not that head.

Literally. What guys tend to think with. I do. Yeah, I know. Like, for me, I

feel like love is a choice.

And, you know, Lena and I tell each other how much we love each other.

But he still feels like it's not a choice. But if I've been choosing you

many years now, is that not love?

But if he doesn't see that, then I can't choose him.

Absolutely. I can't.

Because I'm getting tired. Like, I'm getting exhausted of explaining myself.

I can't do that for the rest of my life.

If I dig really, really deep, I don't even want to say it.

But I don't think, no, I don't think I can be with Lino if he keeps bringing

this up.

But I want to be with him.

I feel like he's so...

I mean,

for me, I do know I love him. As far as, like, feeling the love being

reciprocated, I'm just really hoping that he's doing the introspection that

are over here.

But I know that house is wild, so, you know?

Have you gone bowling a lot? No, I think I've been bowling like twice in my

life. It's about to be real bad.

Maybe go like girls first.

All right, so you can study my tactics. Yeah, I can see your form. Dude, I think

your shorts could be a little shorter. Just a little bit. Look at her go.

Yeah!

First pins of the day.

There you go.

All right. Stay positive the first few times.

No, this happened.

I don't want to hear it. Listen up. All right.

Okay, and that's your day.

That's not my day.

Tyler's not really good at bowling, but at least he's cute, so I'll let it

slide.

Let's see what they got.

Honestly, I haven't done a lot of dates like this with Taylor, and I don't know

why. But being here, I'm looking to have some fun, looking for lighthearted, and

Kay is always in a good mood.

What game are we going to play?

Are you good at basketball?

Yeah, I used to play for Fresh.

No, you did not.

We did really good.

Let's go to the ticket counter. We should get matching bracelets.

That's cute.

Oh, are those rings?

We should get matching rings.

You can get rings. I think we're going to wait on the ring.

Purple, I'll take a black.

Temptation used to have a real negative connotation to me, but now that I'm

here, I'm kind of learning, like, temptation can be something that's

and really fun.

Hold on, I'll put it on.

I just want to keep going on dates with Kay.

It's been a high the whole time. My cheeks hurt.

I think that's a good sign.

Fits like a glove.

Yeah.

I come here often. Do you?

Yeah, a little bit. I mean, it's kind of sexy. Yeah, I don't usually see pretty

girls like you, so it's nice.

Oh, yeah? Getting to see his competitive side, honestly, was really attractive.

It's a turn -on.

I need a lesson.

Does that smooth you? Oh.

Yeah, and you go through as hard as you can.

Just boom.

Nice and easy. Nice and easy.

Every moment with Courtney, you could have a kiss.

That was the best I've ever seen right there.

Are you a pro?

Maybe not tonight.

Where do you want to go?

Blue? Whatever you want to do, you know what I'm saying? I think blue.

I'm paying for you, brother. Ready to rock. Let's go.

Are you racing?

Oh, yeah.

We got it. We got it. Ready, daddy.

We're about to explode.

Damn.

Yeah.

Definitely is stepping out of a comfort level for me because I lean more towards

the introvert side. This is gross for me.

Hold it.

She's riding to the death with her man. I give her a lot of respect for that.

She's very loyal, so I must be that friend for her that she needs.

And that's how my mama raised me, to respect the women and what they want.

My heart's been ripped wide open.

So many mixed emotions.

We're going to do some yoga, maybe a little acro.

Should we get a little wet before we go in?

I'm Jesse. I'm your acro instructor today. Nice to meet you.

So tropical. Honestly, I like the rain.

Okay, ready?

So think when you jump, sit.

As soon as you jump, sit.

There it is. Now come straight legs.

We got it. Hey.

Wait, now how do you go? You grab my ankles.

I grab your ankles?

Got it, got it, got it. Oh, yes.

Look at it.

Okay, you can put me down.

The day was amazing.

Having someone that's confident in you and trusts you.

It's really attractive, and honestly, it's hard to find that in your day -to

-day relationships or even with a partner.

I'm feeling valued, and that's something that made me feel great.

Hey. Hey.

How you doing?

Absolutely fantastic.

Doing this, like, partner acrobatic yoga involves a lot of touching. See how

this works?

You look good up there.

You look good down there.

At least a beautiful girl. I've already been trying to resist myself.

Give me, like, a heads up before you go hopping up there.

Yes, I would say I have a crush on Grant.

Keep flying.

I think he's definitely feeling me, and I'm feeling him.

Yes! See how you went forward?

Nice. Cartwheel, cartwheel.

That was great.

Oh, that was sick.

Good job.

The chemistry is definitely here right now. I mean, it's apparent. We're both

feeling it.

Super slick.

Good job.

This is shit that, like, makes me

feel alive. Just, like, driving.

Especially when your heart drops, you know?

Yeah. Yeah.

I'm really glad I brought you here, though. I felt like it wasn't fair. I

obviously, I'm going through a lot of shit, but I didn't feel like it was fair

that everyone's just getting this not great version of me. So it's definitely

time to focus on myself and, like, show you guys that I'm actually a good time

and, like, not sad, mopey.

You're also high vibes. I needed high vibes. High vibes. High vibes are

everything. And hopefully, you know, after this, you know, everything will

kind of warm up a little bit, you know? That other fun side of Ashley comes out,

you know?

With everything that's been going on with Grant, this was one of the first

in weeks that I felt alive and out there in the world and not just

inside my head.

I haven't felt that freedom in a while, and it was refreshing to have someone

who's so silly and goofy and has this great personality that's not just a

facade. I'm always here to talk about anything, you know. I just want to get

know you. That's all I want.

I obviously came in with a completely different mindset. I mean, you were one

the first girls to approach me, and I had to kind of run away.

I just think you like me.

I just think you like me, and that's what I saw, and I was like, let me get

of here.

Yeah, and I would say that, like, yeah, we have this weird, like, energy

connection where we don't really have to talk.

Yeah, I agree. And I catch us, like, staring at each other a lot, and it's...

It's very comfortable.

It is very comfortable.

Quickly, which I feel like is a very telltale sign.

It's like a nice surprise.

Yeah. Of my insecurities, my dependency, I can't get you on me, and

I'm into you.

We should take a picture with this.

Oh, we can kind of see it right there. Yeah.

I feel like there's potential for a connection.

Maybe, but we'll see.

Yeah. I'm getting closer to accepting the situation I'm in and, you know,

hearing the way she was talking about me, like, at the bonfire that I was at,

kind of made it more clear that I don't think it's meant to be anymore.

Yeah. Unfortunately.

So I kind of just have to, like, completely accept that, you know?

I want to keep getting to know you. And I want to keep getting to know you, too.

Okay, good.

Get a little bit of strawberry dust on you.

There you go.

You ready to go back to the villa?

I'm very ready. Let's do it.
