Okay…
I said yes to Kyle…
because I do… I do have feelings for Kyle.
I'm just scared that I made a decision
that was the wrong decision. I don't know.
I really care about Shayne.
I think he's a beautiful person.
I've told Shayne that I liked him, but I've not really said,
"I have deep feelings for you."
And from what I've observed, he definitely needs reassurance.
I've been way too passive.
I'm finally strong enough
to have the courage to do what I have to do.
I just wanted you to know that I do have deep feelings for you.
[exhales deeply]
I do envision a life with you together, and I do…
Honestly, I really do care for you a lot.
Like, I do… I do have your back, and I would be loyal to you
and faithful to you and…
fight for you, and be that rock in your life,
and a true wife to you.
[Shayne] I've expressed this kind of stuff,
and I was kind of waiting for that to happen with you and it--
Yeah.
It's like we wasted so much fucking time the last two days not even talking.
I wished you would've said that like…
-[sighs] -No, I know.
…days earlier now.
And it's like, I-- I felt the same way. [groans]
I just wish we had that fucking time back the last couple days.
I know. I took a backseat and I regret it.
[Shayne sighs]
My pride definitely got in the way.
[Shayne groans] Shaina!

[softly] God. Fuck.
I know. I'm really sorry.
-[sighs] -[Shaina] I know.
Fuck.
Fuck, I don't even know what to think right now. God!
And we can keep this private so it doesn't--
Well, trust me, it's not gonna fuckin'-- That's not for anyone else's business.

I can definitely see myself proposing and having a life with Iyanna,

And so, I did… I had a date with Mallory earlier.
And I, like, asked a question.
"If I was to propose to you, how would you feel?"
You know, and she pretty much told me, like, our connection is cool,
our connection is strong, but I feel strongly about someone else.

and that just goes to show, you know, the testament of your character.
Um…
I had a long talk with God this morning and…
[chuckles] Listen.
Um…
Iyanna…
Will you marry me?
[gasps softly]
-[pensive music plays] -[Iyanna gasps]
[softly] I…
Um…
That… [chuckles]
That is not what I expected you to say.
You have no hesitations?
I wouldn't be standing right here asking you to marry me if I did.
I'll be honest. Like, I'm really scared.
I'm like, really, really scared.
[pensive music intensifies]
I mean, love is scary. But, you know, I feel like I have enough.
I know what I need to know to know that this can be successful.
Are you sure?
[Jarrette] I'm positive.
I got you and you got me.
[Iyanna sobbing softly]
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, what?
[both chuckle]
Yeah, I'll marry you. [laughs]
Let's go!
[sniffles, then laughs]
[laughing] Let's go!
[Iyanna laughing] What the fuck? What is wrong with us? This is crazy!
-[Jarrette] Oh my God. [chuckles] -[sniffles]
What just happened?
Oh God!
Part of me feels like, "Iyanna, what the fuck? Run!"
and then the other part is like, "Wait a second. This is what you wanted."
This is not how I ever envisioned getting proposed to.
[both laughing]
We're on bended knee through a wall.
We're some weirdos.

[Mallory] Oh my… [whimpers softly]
I'm so excited to meet Sal and to explore that relationship,
but, man, I'm fucking proud of myself.
Ah, this is so nerve-racking.
I think sometimes I've lacked confidence in so many areas of my life,
and…
[sniffles]
…I don't know why.
Why am I so nervous?
But… I'm really happy about who I am,
and I hope my parents are really proud about who they raised.
And I'm so confident in myself and my decisions,
and that includes this whole experiment
and my relationship with Sal.
Oh my God.
He's just so thoughtful and considerate,
and I fully deserve and embrace that type of love from Sal,
and I wouldn't have realized that
if I didn't go through this experiment with him.
[exhales]
[uplifting music plays]
[Salvador] Love is really blind, you know, because this love is unconditional.
I don't know what she looks like, but I've never felt as deep a connection
as I have with Mallory, and I am very attracted to her.
And I can't wait. [chuckles]
I can't wait.
[chuckling softly]
Holy shit. Should have taken a shot.
[dramatic music plays]
My head initially goes to, "What if he doesn't like me?"
"What if there's something he doesn't find attractive?"
Like the big scar on my knee? Like the blemishes that I have.
Oh my God.
I don't know. Like, it's scary.
[sighs] Okay.
[Salvador] I have my insecurities just like any other person.
Those thoughts like, "Am I good enough? Am I good enough for this person?"
[dramatic music builds]
Oh my God.
[exhales deeply]
[whispering] Oh my God.
Hi!
[chuckles softly]
It's nice to see you in person.
-Oh my God. -[chuckling] Hi! Hi, how are you?
-How are you? -Good. How are you?
Good.
[Mallory sighs]
This is crazy.
-[gasps] I don't know what to do now. -Why don't you and me…
-You wanna come over here at my side and… -Sure.
[both chuckle]
Oh my God. [chuckles]
-It's so good to see you. -It's so good to see you. [chuckles]
-[Mallory] How do you feel? -I feel amazing.
-Yeah? -You look great.
[Salvador sighs]
-And I'm excited to be here with you. -Yeah, same.
-And finally get to see you. -Yeah, same. Did you picture, like…
-Not at all. Not at all. -What? No? No?
But, oh my gosh,
you are beautiful, Mal.
Are you ready for the… the next part?
Mm-hmm. I'm ready. What are you feeling?
[exhales sharply]
-Excited and scared. -I just want you to know I'm here.
And I know this is scary. I know this is really new,
but I'm ready to face this with you, Mal. I'm here for you.
-Yeah. -[chuckles]
-Same. -Get over here.
[soft music plays]
[chuckles]
I hope she liked me. [chuckles]
I was trying to kiss her a little bit more, but I…
I'm just… I don't know.
The physical can grow and it will.
It will, and I'm just excited to see her again.
[sighs]
I'm definitely in my head.
I'm very attracted to him emotionally,
but physically, like,
I don't really… I don't know.
There's no…
There's nothing wrong with him. It's just…
It's not something I can really put my finger on, I guess.
I don't know. I… This is, like, throwing me off,
'cause now I'm not feeling good about it. [nervous chuckle]
And I was feeling really good about it. [nervous chuckle]
See you after.

I know how broken he was when Mallory said no,
but he's not the only one who was torn between two people.
I found my fiancé.
[Jarrette] I know that Iyanna loves me for who I am on the inside.
I don't think she cares about what I look like.
I'm gonna be happy as hell. Whatever she is or looks like,
I'll be happy and I just can't wait.

After finally seeing each other for the very first time,
they're now with us in Mexico for a romantic getaway.
Here, they'll discover if their physical connection
is as strong as their emotional one.
[upbeat music plays]
[Nick] Until this point, only thing that's mattered is who they are on the inside.
Now their love will be put to the test.
Will their looks, background and insecurities of the real world
be too much for them to overcome?
-Their weddings are just four weeks away. -Will love be enough?
[dance music plays]
[Shaina] Don't look. I was supposed to get a pedicure.
[Kyle] I could give a shit.
-I do care about myself. -I don't care…
Like, I wouldn't care if you didn't have any nails.
Your hair is amazing.
-It's not the greatest today. -What, the humidity?
What's your natural hair color?
Naturally, I'm a dark dirty blonde.
So, that ring…
-Love it. It's beautiful. Can I be honest? -What?
I'm shocked that your mom let me wear it.
-Don't tell her. She doesn't know. -[laughs]
I didn't wanna lose it. I've been wearing it as a thumb ring.
-I don't want you to feel like-- -What do you mean? Feel like what?
Like we didn't get our own ring.
-I don't care. -But we will get it.
I don't care.
We'll get it, is what I was gonna say.
Isn't that funny? I don't care.
I thought my ring was prettier than everybody's.
It's unique and old.
That's why I like… I'm unique and I'm old… er.
You're right. [chuckles] I forgot.

-I don't like that. -Seven years. Seven years.
-Out of what? -I have great teeth.
Baking soda, coconut oil,
sometimes charcoal.
Yeah, it's all natural.
Can I smell it?
Yeah. I put some peppermint essential oil in there. It's great.
-This is toothpaste to you? -Correct.

I'm just saying.
-Does smell like toothpaste. -I know it does. I know what I'm doing.
All natural.

All for you.
-Oh, I have my own toothpaste. -Just trust me now.
-Trust me, I brought toothpaste. -[Nick laughs]
Smoothest teeth anybody's ever had.
-Smooth? -I don't get cavities.
I've never been like, "Wow. He has smooth teeth."
Maybe you're not looking close enough. I just brush until I feel good.

-Yeah. -Does it change your feelings about me?
No.
Okay, good. I make my own body wash too.

it's a little too good to be true.
Are you pissed that you're with a Christian?

-Yeah, I know you don't. -[Kyle] You gotta teach me.
Aww…

It's our first night. I might as well.
[Shaina] It's very sweet of you. Wait. When's the last time you actually ate…?
[Kyle] Eight years.
Yeah.
You're breaking it?
-Just for you. -Oh my God. Ew. You need to eat meat.
We're gonna cut you a good piece. Okay, ready?
-Yeah. I want all the sauce. -[Shaina] I want this.

-Good. -I'm dying to try the bread.
-Eat it! -I'm gonna.

Holy fuck. I'm always being tested.
Eat it. You're a guy.
A guy that doesn't eat the bread is weird to me.

Yes.
No.
-Are you gonna go shower? -Yeah.
I'm kidding. I'm gonna… I'm just gonna chill.

hoping for the best, but you don't want to know the answer,
but you know the answer.
How was your shower? Do you feel better?
-Hell yeah. -Did you have a cold shower?
Yeah, I left it at yours. Should we go to bed?
Um, yes, can we sit?
-You want me to sit? -Sit. Sit, sit, sit.
-All right. -Um…
-Okay, I'd like to talk to you. -Okay.

-But I want to do this the right way. -What does that mean?
-Again, I'm not-- -Normally what?
[Shaina] No, I'm not used to setting good boundaries.
-And it usually ends up in disaster. -[Kyle] Yeah.
[Shaina] This is the first time we're actually spending time together.
-And I wanna do this the right way. -Okay.
Um, I'd think for the first night
that we'd spend the night in separate rooms.
[pensive music plays]
-How do you feel about that? -I don't know. Like…
-What, you don't trust me? -[Shaina] No. Oh my God. No.
[Kyle] Then what?
-I just want to, you know, set boundaries. -Yeah.
-I know you're probably-- -No, I just thought it's more bonding…
[Shaina] A hundred percent.
-No pressure, but-- -No!
I would never think that. I wouldn't choose, like--
But that's, like, the best time.
