They're making out
while Amanda is sleeping!

Clearly, drama never rests.

[laughter]

- Even though Amanda
is the lead,

we all came here for

wanted to explore

a romantic connection with me,

I'm here for love too.

narrator: It's another morning

in this wintery wonderland.

And if you remember,
last night went off the rails.

But for those
lucky love interests

who received the mistletoe,

they get to have a date
with their leads.

- I like your little snowflake.

- On the boob?
Why are you looking--

- Nice placement.
- [laughs]

You love--you're spicy.
You're very spicy today, Danny.

Now you're awake. It's the tea.
We should have this more.

- Oh, yes.

[suspenseful music]

- Actually, we should probably
go and start getting ready.

- Oh, let's.
Let's, let's, let's, let's.

You have to give me ideas,

What are we gonna do?
I need to know what to wear.

- We haven't, like, made out.

We haven't, like,
done anything.

We've, like, hugged.

- I want you to kiss, though.

- In order for me and Danny
to see if this is real,

we need to spend
more time together.

We need to, like, kiss
and hang out and chill,

and I feel like we haven't done
any of the things

that you typically do in dating

because the situation
is a little strange.

- I want you to, like--

- I'm so excited
for time today.

- I am too.
- Yeah.

- As of now, I do feel like

Hina has a stronger emotional
connection with Amanda.

I definitely think
Amanda and I

have the physical
compatibility

and connection there,
but Hina is so woke

and, like, so forthcoming
with conversations,

and so it's incredibly
intimidating,

because I know firsthand
how amazing Hina is.

Under a different
circumstance,

I would definitely
be blowing Hina up.

- Same. Same, girl.
[both laugh]

- Bye, ladies.

- Bye.

- Okay.

Wait, we're drinking

- Okay, okay.

There's a lot of things that

to be open to it

because the way
I was doing things before

haven't worked out well
in the past,

and I want to make sure
I'm bringing something

good and healthy into my life.

We are connecting
on an emotional level

and on a soul level,
so I'm still trying to see

if the physical attraction
is fully there.

My Christmas wish is
to find love for the holidays

and for after the holidays.

I know you have a crush
on Jean Paul,

and this is your chance.

Now, don't be scared.
It's just like skiing.

First, you start out
screaming,

you find your balance,
and you try not to fall--

in love.

- I'm looking for that feeling
that I had with my ex,

and right now,

I can totally see that
being translated

into a romantic relationship
with Jean Paul.

Hello, Jean Paul.

Come and get me.

In the elimination last night--

and I was giving
the pros and cons.

Like, obviously...
- Right.

- I have an attraction for you.
- Right.

So I think, like,

I can definitely feel your
strong attraction towards me.

- Uh-huh.

- So I think that
is definitely one of,

like, my issues
I've been struggling with.

I do want to spend
more time with you.

I do want to continue
our conversations

to see if I can get
that spark for me going.

[apprehensive music]

- Rejection is never easy.

I wanted JP
to feel differently.

So when I found out
that Jean Paul

didn't feel the same way
that I did,

it was obviously
a huge disappointment.

But this is an experience
where people are potentially

set up to be disappointed,
myself included.

I put her through hell,

everything she'd gone through.

She never had a mom figure.
Her mom died when she was nine.

She is everything that I had.

She's the only thing I had.
She's everything to me.

- A mix of emotions.
- Yeah.

I haven't checked in
with you, Markelle.

I haven't really talked to you
about what's

going on
and what you're thinking.

- So Jean Paul is definitely
my strongest attraction.

The issue with him is that

he might be moving us
to the friend zone, so.

Pinij, he's such a good time.

You know, I didn't feel
that initial attraction,

but he's shown
a lot of persistence, you know,

in pursuing me
and letting me know, like,

"Hey, like, I'm here for you.
I'm interested in you."

- How are you feeling
about Tony?

- I'm wondering, you know--

the fact that
he's so easy to talk to,

the fact
that I love his energy.

Who knows if it's gonna
get to that point

where you feel that thing

I like Tony a lot.
He's super easy to talk to.

Very fun guy.

when it comes to kids.

- Nicole, I feel good
about her.

- Have you guys kissed?
- We have. We did.

And it was fun.
It was spontaneous.

- What about Nicci?

- The moment she walked out,
I was like,

"Dang, who--who dat?"

- You were like, "Uh."
- Your face.

- Was it that obvious?
- A little bit.

- Our conversation
was seamless.

I don't know, I just really
like the person that Nicci is,

and so, at this point,
I'm considering the fact

that Jen is a very unique
and very special person,

but it's been not all there.

I'm not feeling great after
the last gift-giving ceremony.

So tonight, I want to feel
like I made the right choice.

Every time I see Krissi,
I just want to take a picture.

- You said the other time

is that she looks like
your ideal type, right?

- Yeah, but Krissi has been
very forward,

and when she's getting
physical with me,

I'm just, like, not there.

- It's just not there.

- And it's, like,
sometimes aggressive.

But she is--
- Clear.

And apparent.
- Yeah.

- Is there someone else
that you feel like you do have

a very strong, like, mental

how much of the romantic
connection is there.

Miss Nicole, we're opposites

saying that opposites attract.

for a reason,

that little push.

Nicci, from the moment
I saw you,

I was very drawn to you.

I just felt a connection,

person, inside and out.

But I feel like it could be
too good to be true.

- Hina, I feel comfortable

We just immediately connected
on, like, a soul level.

is just not knowing yet

romantic connection

that I can see lasting
for a long time.

Krissi, I feel like we have
more of a romantic attraction,

if that's something

that can grow over time.
