Sex is important for me.
-Oh my God. Yes, absolutely. -Calm down over there.
- You're such a family person. -I know.
You could be a great mother.
I do have a 7-year-old daughter.
Are you feeling nervous or anxious about bringing two people into your life?
Am I nervous? Yeah. But it feels like more of a privilege.
I've done, like, Ironmans. I like doing triathlons.
That is so attractive.
- - I went to Michigan.
That is the hottest thing I've heard all day.
-I hate Ohio State. -
She's intelligent, loyal.
So kind and compassionate, empathetic.
I don't wanna be corny. "You were made for me."
-You could say that. -
I feel like we've had an amazing connection,
but I just, like, wanna focus on my other connection.
I was gonna have the same conversation with you.
Stop it, Chris!
You have that "it" factor.
You stick out for me.
So what you gonna do, Kevan?
I don't wanna fucking let anybody down.
You are not ready for a relationship.
My grandfather, uh, passed away.
I'm so sorry.
I'm on one knee, and I would love to know if you'd do the honor of being my wife.
I would love to.
Yes.
-I love you. -I love you so much.
Thank you for accepting me for me.
- Connor! -Finally.
Thinking about our future together, I know that the best is yet to come.
Just seeing you, it literally makes it a thousand times better.
Feels like we've known each other such a long time.
-Definitely could get used to this, Amber. - Definitely think love is blind.
The next time that I do have sex, I want it to be with the person
that 100%, we are going to spend the rest of our lives together.
If I saw you in the wild,
I would think that you would only wanna be with a gym rat.
Swim in the morning, do a little workout, I have to do that.
I wish I felt that way.
Brittany has physical attributes I find attractive.
I'm trying to gauge whether the physical matches the emotional.
Have you expressed that to her at all?
Obviously, I was super excited to see you.
-Never have I ever had a hickey. -I can give you your first one.
I don't want a hickey.
I literally don't feel like we're even engaged.
There's just a lot going on in my head right now.
All this stuff with my family, adjusting back to life.
So, sorry, there's other things on my mind too.
- He should have gone home. - What do you mean?
He should've gone home after his grandpa died.
You feel overwhelmed at the fact that you lost your grandpa.
I know exactly how that feels. I just lost my grandma a year ago.
This is my life too.
Talking about marrying you.
And you're pissed off that I'm expressing my feelings?
And he thinks that I'm just supposed to understand.
That it's okay for you to not talk to me for two days.
That I'm just supposed to understand that?
You should have just gone home.
- Is Brittany out here? - Yes.
You wanna talk?
I feel like yesterday you validated me
in me saying that I felt like we were disconnected.
But had you said, like…
"I'm going through it,
and I don't feel like I can give you everything I need to give you right now."
"Just be patient with me."
It would've been different, because I would be able to understand.
I have vocalized that.
That's why I've been
understanding and giving you space.
Well, I feel like you're not being understanding right now.
I feel so alone.
You can't even friggin' talk to me when we have no other problems going on.
There's so much… once we have kids, that's a huge factor
that's gonna completely rock our world.
I don't know how you feel about me. I know the things that you told me
in the pod, and I know the emotional connection that we built,
or else I wouldn't even be here.
I wouldn't be here if I didn't believe in us.
But I'm not gonna sit here and feel like I'm not seen.
I just don't feel like you're at a place
where you're ready for everything that this entails.
I think I am. This has just been a lot.
I'm sorry, like, you have felt this way.
It's all new.
It's not always like this.
You know that?
I hear you.
Need a tissue? You sure?
Let's get ready for bed.
We'll be back, Cabo. Don't you ever forget it.
We sure will be.
Mm! Mm! Mm!
-Sad to be leaving, excited to go home. -Last day.
-Let's get to the airport. -Let's do it.
Rolling out. Passenger princess, one suitcase.
-Three suitcases. -Mm-hmm.
Bye, Cabo.
Our engaged couples are returning home from their romantic getaway.
And they are about to enter the most intense phase of the experiment.
That's right. Living together in the real world.
Hey, Ma. Hey, Ma.
-I'm here with my fiancée. -
- Hi! -Hi, Victoria.
So I got engaged.
And I'm--
- What? -
How will they integrate their lives, homes, careers?
Will they allow modern distractions
or the opinions of friends and family to sabotage them?
-I'm engaged. -
-Are you dying? -
-Oh! She hung up. -She just hung up.
Welcome to my home state, Ohio.
O-H!
I-O!
Welcome home, everybody!
-Here we go! - Here we go
It all started with love, a true emotional connection.
Oh my gosh!
- Damn! Damn! - Wait, this is so cute!
What's the first order of business?
Cleanse the evil spirits.
-From me? Yeah. -I'm trying to, like, sage you.
-Get all the demons out of you. -Get that out of here.
Now in just three weeks, they'll be at the altar
and make the most important decision of their lives.
-Oh God. -You don't know how to use a can opener?
Oh my God.
Will they prove that love is blind?
- It's wild coming back. - I know.
All the shit we had to do,
all the things we need to figure out for work coming up…
But what I appreciated about you was you were like,
"Hey, look, I am stressed right now, but it's not about you."
It's very easy for me to get in my head and spiral
if somebody seems upset or something.
And the fact that without prompting, you were like,
"I need you to know this isn't you."
That made me feel much safer.
Yeah, I think it's important to know, or at least say how I'm feeling,
rather than the whole day goes by, and I don't.
Right. I would've just been like, "He fucking hates me now. What happened?"
Yeah.
-Which I don't, obviously. -Thank you for clarifying.
- -Yeah.
I appreciate that.
I wanna say I feel like it's the less of the drama of a lot of these things I hear.
Not that there's drama. There's no fucking drama.
I actually mentioned that to Emma at the pool.
Mm-hmm.
And what'd she say?
I brought up Connor, and…
I don't know how they were in the pods, right? No one knows.
All I know is the lounge. But she's like, "I don't wanna talk about that right now."
-I was like, "Okay." -I mean, she was so upset that day.
-Yeah. -So that makes sense.
There's just so much shit. You don't know what happened in there.
The way the girls talked to me versus how they talked in the pods,
and vice versa for the guys, like, it was probably very different.
-You just know what people say. - Yeah.
-You'll find out when everyone's together. -Mm-hmm.
Oh well.
All I know is, you know, our experience.
I just feel like I'm just hanging out with you.
- -Same. I know.
But that actually could have scared me too.
Oh God.
-I'm like, "Wait, why is this so natural?" -Yeah.
Bodies in the basement? Like, what's going on?
-I don't have a basement, but… -
-That's your response? -Have you seen Dexter?
The ice cream truck.
"The ice cream truck killer." It's the ice truck killer, first season.
-That was such a good fucking show. -Oh yeah.
Not me accusing you of murder on the first night in our new home.
That's awesome. I appreciate it. Carried your bags in, proposed to you…
Now I'm the ice truck killer.
- Should I call my mom? - Call your mom.
- Hello. -
Mom, what's going on? How are you?
- Oh my gosh! -
So I'm here with my fiancée Ashley. I'm so excited for you to meet her.
Hi! I'm excited to meet you. I've heard a lot about you.
- Okay… -
All good things. All good things.
Well, I'm excited to meet you too.
