[alarm beeps]
After last night and just
seeing the other bed,
Yo, I'm in here,
but there's not another card.
This will be my
competition for Kasey.
I'm not going to lie
between you and me, you know,
I was a little nervous,
you know?
So today I woke up
and I was a little cranky
because last night
I was so excited
to get to know Nigel more,
but I didn't get the chance
to, like, see, if I
vibed with him.
And then I go in the room,
I see my bunk bed, which means
something tricky
about to happen.
♪♪
Going into today,
I feel like I really need
to be cautious with Kyle.
If Kyle convinces me that he's
ready for something serious,
I will definitely
take him seriously.
Going in today,
I'm most excited about
just getting to know Alicia.
I'm really curious
to understand.
She never looked at me
in that light
because I was dating
her friend
and out of respect
for her friend.
But this moment could be
the turning point of her life,
the turning point in my life,
and this could be it.
♪♪
When I first saw
Mahnoosh,
I was so happy.
We went to college together,
I was in a fraternity,
she was in a sorority
and we were actually
both social chairs
of our respective
Greek communities.
I always like, you know, saw her and
she was always really nice.
It's exciting.
I mean, I wasn't
that close with her,
and this is a good
opportunity now
that I can actually get to
know her a little bit better.
I'm nervous.
It's not a bad nervous.
It's good. That means I care.
We vibed, I feel, very well
and very naturally yesterday.
So I'm hoping that translates
into today's date.
I've only really
had two relationships.
When it comes
to being in a relationship,
I naturally put
the blinders on.
I haven't dated in
a long time.
And so I'm jumping headfirst.
I have no
reservations whatsoever.
♪♪
-So this is our
-Oh my God.
-This is our date, we're here.
-This is so cute.
I'm a little nervous,
you know, for my first date
with Mahnoosh,
but at the same time,
I think it's not like
she's just a stranger
and I'm going on
a first date, right?
Like I've known her
since college.
Are we squishing grapes?
We're squishing grapes.
We're kind of like friends
and we're just reconnecting.
And I think there's
a charm behind that.
I'm going to Rochambeau you
for the white ones.
You want those? All right.
Are you going to make me
fight for it? Or are you
-gonna actually just give it to me?
-I'll just give it to you.
Wow, that's easy.
Oh, my Ah!
♪♪
Feel that?
That could've gone so bad.
Oh, whoa, okay.
[laughing]
Oh my God, I'm going to fall.
Here, sit down.
Oh my God.
Hello.
You're such a gentleman.
Where's my glass slipper?
Vince is so cute.
Like that was a complete
missed opportunity
with somebody in my past.
It's wild that there could
be a possibility here.
That's exciting.
I want to know from
the moment I probably
-passed you by in a party.
-Yeah.
What has happened
ever since, romantically?
So as you know,
I was in a super
long term relationship
with my high school
sweetheart at the time,
and we were together
for nine years.
So what made you decide
to step away?
That was true love.
Like, I genuinely felt like
I experienced true love.
It's amazing.
It wasn't ever something
that I thought
I would experience so early on.
-Yeah.
-I think that was the thing,
like with my first ever
relationship feeling that
you're so naive
when you're young
and you so you don't know
what to do with this.
But for some reason,
there was always something
that was stopping me
from going all the way.
I completely agree.
I was in the same boat as you.
Yeah.
So you were in a super long
term relationship, too,
but you know,
you coming here to like,
you know, see me, like,
what I guess made you
take that leap of faith?
You're obviously very serious
about finding a relationship,
and that's why
I took the leap.
You come off as a very
wholesome, very genuine guy.
It's all over your face.
You're obviously handsome,
but it's all over your face.
Once I saw you,
I had no qualms.
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
Like, you're like so beautiful
and especially
I can't make eye contact now.
It's like, I feel like
I'm getting kind of shy.
Like, it's like
I don't know what to do
with compliments, either.
Clearly, Vince is still who
he is in all the right ways.
He's just a steadfast dude
that just progressed
professionally
in every other right way.
So I'd definitely like another
date with Vince.
Give me a hug.
I've really enjoyed
my date
-Me too.
-with you.
I've had a great time.
Oh
♪♪
-Short and sweet.
-Short and sweet.
I'm still trying
to become that person
where I could just be
in the moment
and live that dream.
And after this date,
I feel like
maybe there's hope
that I can fall
in love again.
I haven't had that
for a while.
[Mahnoosh] This is actually
really beautiful.
[Vince] Yeah.
♪♪
The night I met Alicia
three years ago,
I pull up to valet,
and I see my date next to her
and Alicia gets out of the car,
she's wearing
a lime green dress.
and I'm like, wow.
I'll never forget that night
that I saw her
in that lime green dress.
So I'm about to go on
my first date with Nigel.
I'm kind of nervous,
but I'm excited.
It's been a long time
since I've been on a date,
a really long time.
When I was dating
Alicia's friend,
there were a lot of times
when I'm like,
"Yo, hey Alicia,
how's your day?"
And she's like,
"Why do you care?"
Always giving me
the cold shoulder.
So now I'm curious to see
what's really the deal?
♪♪
So pretty!
[Alicia] Oh, we got little hats!
[Nigel] Got everything. Perfect.
[Nigel] Oh my gosh.
[Alicia] Oh, it's so beautiful.
I wonder if Nigel is going
to try to kiss me on this date?
Well, I never really kissed
people on the first date. So
But you never know,
if the vibes is there.
Mmm.
Do you remember when we met?
Was it when I had that
green dress on?
I remember the green dress,
that's funny.
At that time. I thought you
were like, gorgeous.
I always thought
you were fly.
Thank you.
Just like, never really got
the chance to get to know you.
Well, we're here now.
Why now?
I feel like you know why now.
You were dating
an old friend of mine
and there's certain boundaries
I like hold myself to.
I mean, like, we're getting
older, we're getting smarter.
We're becoming more
into who we are.
So I'm just like, why not?
You know?
Although like, I obviously
played around last three years
and things like that
Hot boy.
But it's just like, being
single is actually hard.
Like, I think
we can both
Why is it hard for you?
I think it's hard
because you never want
-to hurt someone's feelings.
-Yeah.
Right, so that's why I want to
have this conversation with you
right now right before
potentially
another person
comes into my life.
And like, obviously, you and
I are like just meeting
and trying to figure
a lot of things out.
I respect you a lot for even,
like,
giving me the opportunity
to get to know you.
It's extremely tough
to be vulnerable.
I think for a good part
of my life
I was a party boy,
but now I put those
party days behind me.
I want to date her
the right way
and just understand
what's important to her.
And if this is a good fit,
then this is a long term thing.
As you know, like this
is missed connections, right?
It's a lot
of missed connections.
And it's like in your mind,
you're thinking,
what if? what if? what if?
So, the day before
I got no sleep, right?
Just wondering, like,
who could potentially like
come, right?
So then when I saw
a silhouette of your body
You knew it was me?
Yeah, so I'm like,
I'm looking and
I'm like, "No, no, no."
But then when you came out,
I was just like,
stunned, like
I saw your face, dude.
But it's just like,
you know,
regardless of everything
else, like, it was just
like a moment for you
and I and I just feel like
I felt it.
I was like, aw.
It was almost like
a first memory.
That felt like a moment
that we'll always share.
I'm very grateful for
this moment with me and Nigel.
We're having a great time.
We're showing gratitude.
We appreciate the moment
that we're in,
and yeah, everything
is just flowing.
♪♪
[Alicia] I love it out here,
I love the hills,
the mountains.
And the crazy part is, it's the
second best view I had all day.
[laughing]
The best view I had
is right here.
Gonna twirl me around again?
Wanna twirl around?
Reminds me of last night.
♪♪
♪♪
What's crazy is, I haven't
been on a date in probably
like two years.
Like, I don't even know how
to go on a date anymore.
So I have like some
like jitters, excitement,
some butterflies
like I'm going on a flight
to somewhere, I don't
know what I'm doing.
I am so excited for this
date right now, oh my God.
Ah-ooh!
That's how I feel
about this date.
♪♪
-Oh, this is gorg.
-So cute, right?
Yeah.
I got some blankets
in case you got cold, so
[laughing]
So thoughtful.
I've been waiting for
this moment for a long time,
so I kind of feel
a little nervous
because I just don't know
what to expect.
-Here's to a fun date.
-Thank you.
Oh yeah, that's tequila.
I know what you like, girl.
-Wow. That, you did that.
-Yeah.
I would say, like you
and I probably had
like one of the best connections
out of everybody.
I agree.
And I feel like
being in high school
and like going through
what we went through,
you presented as like,
you were out.
Yeah.
And I was terrified by that.
Like, almost a little envious
because I was like,
bitch, how do you do this?
Like, I wish I could
be like that.
I am attracted to Anthony
because he has, like,
this confidence about him
because he's like,
unapologetically himself.
Coming from where we come
from is not a welcoming place.
He literally gave
zero fucks.
Like, I'm interested
how he just like, owned it.
Coming into this,
I fully was just like,
I don't know what to expect
because Jeff pulled
a 180 like
Opposite.
I thought you were
going to go into finance
and never come out.
And I was like,
super happy about that.
So I've known Jeff
since he was 14,
and since he wasn't out,
he was like, anything
that might make me seem gay,
I am staying away from that,
which I understand,
but I just want Jeff to feel
open enough to tell me
whatever he feels like
he can tell me.
I want to hear what made him
not come out in the beginning.
I want to hear
what made him feel like
he can finally come out.
But I hope that he feels safe
enough to be able to, like,
have those
conversations with me
because that is
what is going to make me
even more attracted to him.
To be honest, I did not think
I would ever come out.
Like I lost my virginity
when I was 21 to a girl,
and after I did that,
I was like, wow, like,
I can put on this show forever.
-I can do this.
-Yeah.
Like, it was almost like
a sigh of relief
knowing like you could do it
if you needed to do it.
-Right.
-And then literally,
I think two nights later
was my actual 21st birthday.
Oh, wow.
And I went home with a guy.
Growing up like, it's tough
to look back on your life
and remember exactly
how you were feeling.
But then at the end
of the day, like,
I think everybody
internally knows who they are,
and the longer you
suppress it,
you're like, only
hurting yourself.
I came out because I emotionally
felt connected to a guy,
and so it kind of like
gave me this sense of panic,
almost like,
I didn't know what to do.
So I literally was in college.
I drove home to Syracuse
to see my mom
because I was freaking out.
Like I was terrified
to just be like,
-I don't know what is happening.
-Right.
Like, I don't know
if it was a phase.
I didn't know if this was real.
I don't know if my parents
would even be like,
cool with it, to be honest.
I'm just so proud
of you. Like
Thank you.
It's just
incredible to be able to,
like, get to know
this new Jeff who's like,
okay with who Jeff is.
And when you hugged me,
I was like,
oh my God, you have to let go.
You're going to be psycho.
And I like, start to let go,
and you're like,
no, I'm hugging you now.
-Yeah.
-And I was like,
-wow, this is like
-It felt
15 years of hugs
that have been like,
-It's been in the making.
-Yeah.
♪♪
[Jeff] We're going to have
a little paddleboat date.
[Anthony] Oh
Here, give me your hand.
If I die in here
Be careful. Slow.
Right.
♪♪
I think Anthony and I created
such a good baseline.
We have such a good
like friendship,
we come from
the same place, like,
we can only move
forward from here.
I think I'm still tied up.
[laughing]
Emotions will build.
The dates will progress.
We'll see what happens.
But I'm like ugly
laughing right now.
♪♪
Your eyes look
really incredible right now.
-Thanks.
-Yeah.
♪♪
I feel like this is a once
in a lifetime opportunity
to kind of just
like explore yourself.
So I'm really excited to
just like watch
how I grow from
first date Jeff
to where I'm going to
be at the end of the summer.

[Vince] Hey, what's up?
-Come on in.
-Thank you.
I know, I want hear all the tea,
give it to me.
Oh my gosh.
My date with Mahnoosh,
I think it was
an awesome first date.
We were so comfortable
with each other,
and I think that's
a good sign.
Well, Vince, a new arrival
is about to come
through the portal.
Stop.
Are you kidding me?
Oh my gosh.
Already? Like this is going
to add some spice to the mix
and I ain't talking basil.
This is like some jalapeno.
We're about to go spicy.
All right. Well, I will
give you a minute
to collect your thoughts.
When you're ready,
come meet me at the portal.
♪♪
When Betty Who first introduced
that there was a portal,
we were just, you know,
completely like wide-eyed.
Now that I'm settled in,
I'm just thinking the person
that I'm supposed to be with
might be on the other side
of that portal,
just waiting for their turn.
And I just don't know how
I'm going to react
and how that's going to change
the way I feel about Mahnoosh.
♪♪
[Vince] Who's there?
What?
-Hi.
-Hey.
What the heck, Yurika!
I'm surprised
you remember me still.
Yeah, of course!
Oh my God, I am so mind blown.
It's been, like, ten years.
Last I remember it was literally
our high school prom
in our limo ride is like when
I like, last remember you.
-Oh my God, that's so crazy.
-I know!
Well, you look good.
-You look so good. Wow.
-Thanks.
My name is Yurika and
I know Vince from high school.
When I first saw Vince,
I thought he was pretty
attractive and,
you know, but back
then he had a girlfriend,
so I didn't really think
much of it.
I'm like, mind blown.
I'm wow.
Are you surprised?
I am so like,
really good surprise.
I feel confident that
this might go somewhere.
I'm really excited
for the potential.
I was like, really curious
to see, like, you know,
who you are as a person
now and like,
I want to get to know
you better. So I'm here.
Yeah, me too.
I can't wait
to catch up with her,
and I wanted to see, you know,
where she's at emotionally
and just, you know, see
what's been new with her life.
Should we get out of here?
Yeah, sure. Yeah. Okay.
♪♪
Going through the portal
the first time,
I was so terrified
and disappointed.
Oh my God!
Hi, how are you doing?
To me, it's
She's hella fun, you know?
Like, she's super fun.
I'm in a way better headspace
than I was last night.
[crying]
I don't want to be here.
In high school,
like he was super duper sweet.
So maybe just
a little bit more time
and I will be able
to explore it more.
Tonight's a big night,
I'm gonna show Allyssa
the kind of confidence
that I've built throughout
the years, you know?
I'm gonna show her what's up.
Rate the fit.
-Yes!
-That fits.
Go out there and
get your woman.
-I'ma see y'all later.
-You got this.
[Anthony] He's gonna fuck it up, y'all.
Nelson
Oh my gosh, I love Nelson.
But to me, first impression,
when I walked in
they were far apart from each other,
so they didn't look like
they were feeling
each other that much.
I'm so excited for him.
I'm like, I don't know.
I know, I hope he kill it.
-He will.
-I think they need to make a reconnection.
Yeah.
♪♪
Oh, last night was crazy,
was such a movie, honestly.
All the glitz and glam kind
of got me out of my element.
Yeah?
I've I've really changed
a lot since high school.
You know, I feel like everything
that I've gone through
really has made me
a lot more mature.
It's made me like,
want to, you know,
show you the kind of person
I've become.
I'm in a place where I could
have a stable relationship,
and I was hoping you'd be
wanting the same thing.
You know, so with that
kind of mindset,
I came here, you know,
with an open mind hoping
to find something
like that, you know?
Yeah.
What are you thinking
about right now?
It was a little bit hard
last night, to be honest.
Last night
I felt very, very nostalgic,
but in like a way
that like I was
kind of confronting things
that I didn't feel like
I ever wanted
to confront again.
Okay.
In high school, there were guys
who were telling me, like,
you should get
a face transplant.
What the fuck?
Or like guys telling
me that I was ugly
or they would like put tape
in my hair or things like that.
That hurts me, honestly,
to know that you
went through all that.
What Allyssa dealt
with high school
was really eye-opening.
She always had a sunny
disposition that hid her pain,
and she used that mask
so effectively I had no idea.
I remember you telling me
about going to USD
and like a
bunch of other stuff.
That's what really told me
that you were the kind of girl
that I would chase after.
You know what I'm saying?
-I like
-So, why didn't you?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't think you even
know that you were like
one of the first guys to ever
like, tell me that I was pretty.
I feel like you get
compliments like that 24/7.
No, I don't.
That's insane to me, Allyssa,
because you're one of the
most beautiful women
I think has ever
crossed my life.
-Oh my God.
-You know?
I came in this thinking,
I'm going to give everyone
a fair shot
and see how I connect
on a deeper level with someone
who came here for me
and really give it a shot.
When I came and stayed at
y'alls house one night,
I felt like we had a moment.
Mm-hmm.
Like, you know, I wanted
to explore it back then.
And like, we just never did.
Allyssa, opening up to me
right now is honestly
a great sign for me.
She is able to be a little
more vulnerable with me,
and I feel like that's
building up great rapport
and that's getting the doors
a little more open
for both of us.
Even then, like
your personality's dope.
I feel like you're driven and
that's so sexy to me, you know?
That's something I honestly
did always want to tell you.
You know, I just never
got the chance to
or circumstances weren't right.
You know?
Yeah.
That made me feel good
and gave me a lot of
things to think about,
and I would definitely be open
to seeing where things go.
♪♪
[Nelson] Well, I feel like most of the
time I get your sense of humor.
[chattering]
[Allyssa] I mean,
what in that moment like
was going through your mind?
[Nelson] I was just like, damn wow,
this is like kind of
Hi.
I'm so sorry to interrupt.
Allyssa, can I talk
to you for a second?
-Sure.
-Let's go.
We're going this way.
[Betty Who] Hi, honey.
How are you doing?
Doing good?
Betty Who came and she
interrupted our first date.
Right now, I feel confused.
A little disappointed.
Wondering why she took
Allyssa out so abruptly.
Allyssa, there's something
I need to tell you.
Yes, Betty?
A new arrival is about
to come through the portal.
I'm literally
in the middle of my date
with Nelson right now,
and I have no idea
if he knows
that I'm about to go meet
someone else in the portal.
I know this is
a lot right now.
You're in the middle of a date.
When you're ready,
meet me at the portal.
I'm so excited, I did not think
I was going to be back
in the portal this soon.
But I guess anything can happen.
-Hey, Nelson.
-What's up?
So I really hate
to tell you this.
Okay.
♪♪
There's someone for me
at the portal right now.
And I really wish that I could
stay with you longer here
Okay.
-but I have to go right now.
-Okay.
I can't stop
jumping up and down.
I'm really,
really, really sorry.
-No, yeah, it's okay.
-I'm really sorry.
Ah!
Okay, I'm ready to go.
I'm so ready to go.
The way Allyssa
is testing me right now?
Kind of a little shady.

Ooh!
Off the ground,

So, Nelson came back

He's so swaggy, I was like,
just spill the tea.
I want to hear all about it.
Oh, my baby.
[overlapping dialogue]
Hold on, hold on.
Oh
-Okay, a lot happened.
-I'm sure.
Okay.
It was very romantic.
And, you know, I think
we were having a good time.
We were like opening it up.
I mean, I thought
it was going well.
And then out of nowhere,
guess who shows up?
-Betty Who?
-Starts with a B yes!
-Betty Who?
-Betty Who shows up.
-No!
-Out of nowhere.
Okay, she says,
Allyssa, come outside.
I got something to tell you.
I gotta pick my jaw up,
hold on.
Were you guys like in the
middle of the conversation
and she just left the date?
Low key, yeah.
Oh
I mean, she left
and then I came here.
Wait, is this place about to,
really, like, mess with me?
Because this portal,
she be acting all stank
and she is just volatile,
and I don't even know what
to think in this moment.
Did not know the portal
could be just busting
open for everybody.
So I know me and Nigel had
a really good first date.
But here it's just like, you don't know
what's going to happen in this house.
Like, you don't know what
shit could happen.
So, it's a little anxious feeling.
So you that was it.
-Yeah, that was it.
-Wait.
So this is like just left up
to the unknown right now.
Yeah. Basically.
[Nelson] All you can do is step
the game up. That's it.
♪♪
There's a renewed sense
of hope in this lost soul.
I guess you never know

into something more.
How are you doing?
Oh my God!

-Travis!
-It's so great to see you.
The last time I saw
Allyssa was ten years ago.
She was a freshman
while I was a senior.
She gave me smart,
gave me intelligent,
gave me confident,
gave me
I know who I am,
but I don't know you.
What are you doing here?
To see you.
I'm here for you.
-Oh my God.
-It's been so long.
We had high school together.
Driver's ed, we rode
the bus together.
-And you're gorgeous.
-Thank you.
Almost more beautiful
than I remember.
Almost?
Okay, okay.
You know what, you look good.
You had it going on then, too.
But this is like,
this is the age gap.
It wasn't the right time.
Was going off to school.
So now that we're grown,
we can really see if
we really have a chance
of doing something
special here.
Oh my God, I'm so happy
you're here.
-You look beautiful.
-Thank you.
The universe literally
is listening
to all of my prayers,
and there's hope still.
Travis is showing me
some of what
I've been wanting to see.
It was almost like an absolute
opposite of Nelson.

♪♪
I'm so excited about going
on this date with Kyle.
I wouldn't be surprised
if he, like, had a trick
up the sleeve to try to woo me,
so I'm excited
to see what it is.
Ever since that night, I met
Ashley about three years ago.
I've definitely
had thoughts about her,
and I always wondered
what might have happened
if we were able
to meet that night.
So I am definitely stoked
to see Ashley
and get to have the time
with her to actually connect
and see if we really
do hit it off, for sure.
I think Kyle is
one of those guys
where if he knows
that you're into him,
he's less interested.
I'm not going into it like,
"Oh my God, Kyle,
you're so cute"
because I think
he already knows that.
-Wow.
-Ooh.
Make him work for it
a little bit.
I think it's hard to find
guys that really want
to learn who I am as a person.
In the past, a lot of men
that slide into your DMs
through Instagram,
you try to give them
like a shot and you respond
and then you get your
classic, like,
unsolicited, you know what.
-Cheers.
-Let's toast.
What do you want to cheers to?
To a missed connection
and hopefully a re-connection.
All right, cheers.
So how you been feeling
since you've been here?
You know, it's exciting.
Yeah.
There's just so many unknowns
for me and like still,
I have like no clue
what's going on in your life.
I'm just like, there's so
much to learn about this guy.
Because we realistically,
like spent like, what,
ten minutes together?
Maybe.
That's what I want to know.
It's like,
what are some of the things
that you look for in
a guy that like,
check all the boxes for you?
Honestly, someone
with a big heart.
Mm-hmm.
[Ashley] I think a lot of times
guys like, look at me,
and it's a very like
physical desire and
A little superficial, too.
Yeah, very like lustful.
But I want someone who
can really get to know me.
Because I'm actually
actually a pretty good person.
I don't know what you see
from what I put out there,
but I try to be as
vulnerable and open,
and I want to really get to know
that deeper side of you,
you know, that caring, kind
and compassionate person.
I'm actually feeling like kinda
hot being next to the fire.
Yeah. You want to
get out of here?
Uh, yeah, we can.
-We can head to my pool.
-Let's do it.
-I'll show it off to you.
-For sure.
♪♪
I definitely think
Kyle is acting like
he's ready for
something serious,
and I feel like there's
a spark between us.
Whew.
Damn, Ash.
You're looking great.
-Oh, my God.
-Thank you.
I want somebody
to really get to know me and
really learn that side of me,
and if if I don't feel like
that's what you want to do
and all you want is see
my boobs,
then like, it's not
going to go very far.
So let's see what happens.
-Ready?
-Yep.
Woo.
Ooh, this is nice.
Yeah, I can't complain.
This is like nice and warm?
Yeah.
You look amazing.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Don't be mad because I'm going
to make you work for it.
I'm fine with working for it.
Nope.
Originally, I think we
kind of hit it off
and had this like
initial flirt and excitement.
However,
the second I'm in
a bikini, it's like,
I want to kiss you
and like, what is this?
Like It's like a zero
tolerance policy for me.
Like, I expect to be
treated with respect.
I got to rein you in a little bit.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
I think you need a tame.
I can wait.
All right. Get out of my pool,
back to the dog house.
Got it.
I feel Ashley is pumping
the brakes on me tonight
because she knows what
she brings to the table.
I think she wants more,
but I don't think she's ready
to give it out
on the first night.
So she wants someone
to work for it.
I'm here to work for it.
Enjoy the pool.
See you tomorrow.
Hopefully.
Maybe bringing Kyle to
the pool misled him,
and his demeanor kind of went
kind of towards sex.
I don't want sex.
I want my person.
I want you to know me.

Hey, how you doing?
-How you doing?
-Come on in.

I haven't seen her in about
two years.
Well, Nigel,

These butterflies,

This is my first date since
my seven and a half year
relationship ended.

from the heartbreak,
I am scared to have

have time to waste.
Last night, there was
a little chemistry there.

It'd be really interesting to
see how I can talk to Dylan.
I would love to hear,
you know, his dreams
and his goals
and everything that
he believes in
to see if I want
another date or not.
And if I see a future
with Dylan.
We got like, what, Sangria?

We got prosciutto.
You know, we got

-Are you Italian?
-Paladino, yeah.
-Wow.
I haven't been on
a date since
Since I was like 20.
-Since you were 20?
-Yeah.
I was in a relationship
for seven and a half years.
Wow.
-My longest one was four years.
-Four years.
Three and a half, four.
Seven and a half
That's not too shabby.
In the past, I was always
in a relationship,
always a serial monogamist.
I was just so focused
on the one boy in my life.
The longest I had been single
before this was six months.
So like, I forgot what it
was like to date
and feel butterflies and,
you know, find someone that
I really connect with again.
So like, what are you
looking for for here?
-Like, are you
-Being here?
Yeah.
Someone that is
not only really driven,
but very independent
with what they're doing.
I do like someone
that's big into family.
I have a pretty big,
strong family.
-Oh, that's awesome.
-Yeah.
I unfortunately
like did not have like
the most amazing loving family,
you know, growing up.
They weren't like,
"I love you."
Or "Good job.
Congratulations."
These are words
I never heard growing up.
Yeah.
But you know, recently
my family got closer.
How did you, like,
cross that boundary?
Because it's not
an easy thing to deal with
Just tell me what you're
comfortable with, you know?
[sighs]
My mom, she was diagnosed
with stage four lung cancer
when I was 25.
Three months ago, she passed
away, unfortunately.
-I'm sorry.
-So really, really recently
and up to that point,
I was like her
part time caretaker.
Yeah.
And
I thank God, like every day
that we had four and
a half years with her,
and I believe it was for a
reason that we had that long.
We were able
to fix a broken family.
-Yeah.
-For so many
For so many years,
we were just not that close.
And we would yell
at each other all the time.
There was always
so much anger and frustration
-and a lack of love.
-Empathy, yeah.
I felt like that was
just not there.
But, you know, once
my mom was diagnosed,
I truly believe
like we were given
those four and a
half years with her blessing
to help our family
like, fix it.
And she brought everyone
back together?
She, yeah, in a way.
-Which is beautiful.
-Yeah.
We were able to comfortably,
like, kind of accept,
you know, her passing
and realize that she actually
left us with a gift.
That's why it's so important
family now to me.
I feel like Kasey
really opened up to me,
and it takes
a lot of confidence,
and it's very commendable
and very attractive to just
put everything out there
and let someone know
what's happened to you.
Surprise.
Wow.
-I
-What do you think?
-I'm I can't
-It's cute.
-It's super cute.

How can you?
Yeah, I can help.

-One, two, three.
Oh my God.
That was so hot.
Kind of just do this.
Oh, my God, are you
not going to be able
to put your feet on that?
No, I'm on it.
I'm on it, yeah.
For a first date
This is better than most
I've ever had.
-And, um
-Really?
Yeah, I mean, you were
super real with me.
You brought me into
a merry-go-round
and I never thought
I never thought I would do.
I'm sorry. I totally
misjudged the height.
I'm a very happy man.

-Yeah.
-All right, hang on tight.
-Okay.
You look ridiculous!

Oh, they go up and down. Oh!
Yeah. Have you not been on
a merry-go-round before?
Like ten years ago, yeah.
Oh
Approaching the date with Dylan,
I still had all
these question marks
but it was amazing to hear
how we deal with love
and relationships,
how we listen, our directness.
We both are direct people.
And the fact
that we can reciprocate that
for each other is
like a huge plus
in this possibly being
a long term relationship.

guy's beating yours.

I had a wonderful night
with Alicia yesterday,

the portals back open.
What's behind the curtain?

Both Alicia and I are

I saw a silhouette,
she popped out of the portal.
I said, "God damn,
is that Sarah?"
And sure enough, it was.
Look at you,
you look so beautiful.
Sarah and I met in Tulum
because she was there
with a friend of mine.
I can tell that,
like Sarah, definitely
means something to him.
So I'd be really curious
to see what her intentions are.
You look good.
You always look good.
I try. I try.
It's been
a minute since Tulum.
Yeah, it has.
Oh, I mean, have
you guys seen Nigel?
Like, he's tall,
handsome chocolate.
I mean, how can
you not like him?
We definitely have
a connection.
So it's going to be really
interesting to see
how we're going
to build on that friendship
or even how we're going
to take it to the next level.
Want to take a walk with me?
-Sure.
-Please. Come on.
Watch your step.
We're still kind of on edge
because we're like,
okay, we don't we don't know
what to expect yet.
And with the new people
coming in,
we don't know if
we're going home.
We don't know
if we get invited out.
We don't know
what's happening.
They're just dropping bombs,
dropping them.
Big ones, too.
Oh, my gosh.
What's up?
-Oh.
-Oh my God.
How y'all doing?
Travis, nice to meet you.
Alicia, nice to meet you, too.
-What's going down?
-How are you.
-What's your name?
-I'm Nelson.
-Say what?
-Nelson.
Nelson, nice to meet you, man.
I'm Travis.
I came through the portal
for Allyssa, man.
The most important question:
How do you guys
know each other?
We knew each other
in high school.
Shut the fuck up.
You went to Lamar high school?
-Yeah.
-So did I.
When did you graduate?
Wow. Okay, okay, okay.
Oh, okay. Okay, okay.
Yeah. We rode the bus
together and everything.
-Okay.
-Mm-hmm.
That's cool.
How about you?
I'm here for Allyssa.
-What?
-I'm sweating.
That's wild.
I'm not really looking
forward to another person
in the house.
That doesn't really
bode well for me.
I'm not bowing out.
I want to see what I can
cultivate out here.
[Alicia] How are you feeling?
-You stole his date, like
-Stole?
How you feeling?
He was on a date with Allyssa
when you came
through the portal.
I'm just making it
a little spicy.
-Sorry, sorry.
-No, you good.
I mean, I feel good.
I ain't worried about it.
It's just competition.
I'm not too nervous because
I don't think Allyssa will
really feel Nelson in that way.
Not as much as she
would be feeling me.
I feel like I'm confident.
I feel like I've been
waiting for a long time
and I'm ready to step
out there and grow
as a new person and possibly
grow with Allyssa.
Who did you guys come?
Did you guys come
through the portal at all?
Well, we ain't come like,
you know, during someone's date
or anything like that.
Me interrupting their date
to walk through the portal,
I was like, yikes.
Like, ooh.
Mid-date.
Mid-conversation actually.
Low key.

nervousness and nerves.
