00:10But if a foot touches you, are you okay?
00:13Like do you want to go foot on foot?
00:14Like I'm gonna get your feet off me.
00:16Like if I'm sitting on the couch with my siblings and my brother's foot touches my leg.
00:21Hi.
00:23Are you kidding?
00:24Yeah.
00:25She's back.
00:26She's back.
00:26Hi.
00:26Hi.
00:28Guys, I missed you all so much.
00:30We missed you.
00:32We're small.
00:33We're so happy.
00:34Yeah.
00:34So still hurts a little bit, but.
00:37What?
00:38I go in and there's a little bottle there and I like wanted to put eye drops in my eye.
00:49No, don't tell me it was like glue.
00:50It was nail glue.
00:53Shut up.
00:54It was nail glue.
00:55I thought you were so scared.
00:57I was scared.
00:57Oh, I would be terrified.
00:58I thought I was like gonna lose sight.
01:00Like nail glue.
01:01What the?
01:02I know.
01:02Could you see it?
01:03It was blurry.
01:05When we got to the hospital, we had just hooked up an IV bag with tubing and just sat here
01:10and just flushed my eye.
01:11Yeah.
01:11And the guy was like getting like the glue out the water.
01:14Oh my God.
01:15It was so awful.
01:16Oh my God.
01:16I can't believe I did that.
01:18Love is half blind.
01:19I'm really committing.
01:20I'm going blind.
01:21Put your arms around me.
01:22Tell me everything's okay.
01:28In my mind, I'm running around a cold and empty space.
01:36I have chosen Vic St. John to be my husband.
01:40When two people love each other, like you can't stop it.
01:43I know him and I know his heart and I really fully believe that he sees that in me too.
01:48And it's the best feeling you've ever felt in your life, like times a million.
01:57It's insane that you can fall in love with someone without physically seeing them.
02:01Christine and I would typically probably not even interact in the real world.
02:06And for her to see my most vulnerable sides and some of my most vulnerable stories and
02:10for her to still accept me for who I am and want to love me and want to have a
02:16forever
02:16future with me, there's no words for it.
02:27We really do judge somebody so much by how they look and I know he's dated a lot of different
02:33people in his life, but he fell in love with my heart first and although there might be
02:38somebody more his type or more beautiful, he saw me and saw my heart first before seeing
02:44me on the outside.
02:44So regardless of what he looks like or what he expects me to look like, he's wise, he's
02:50intelligent and he's gentle.
02:52He has everything that I want in a spouse.
02:56He's the whole package for me.
03:00I told Christine, I don't need to see her to know that I see her and that I love her.
03:05And that's my fiance, you know, I love her and she loves me.
03:09This is the biggest moment of my life.
03:11Nice.
03:28Quiet, I nh permanence.
03:30You're beautiful.
03:32It's so cute.
03:34Oh.
03:36Oh.
03:39Oh.
03:39It's a pleasure to meet you.
03:41Pleasure to meet you.
03:45Oh.
03:48Oh.
03:51Oh, my gosh.
03:55Oh, my gosh.
03:56You're going to see my heart pounding out of my chest.
04:01Oh, my gosh.
04:02Let's pay for the round for life.
04:04I love your eyes.
04:06Your lips.
04:07I love your eyes.
04:07And a nice smile.
04:09Hair.
04:10Much longer than I was expecting.
04:13I love you on the inside.
04:15I know you do.
04:16I'm glad you signed up for this.
04:18I feel like the luckiest man on that.
04:20Me too.
04:21Yeah.
04:23I want to ask you again.
04:28Christine.
04:29Louise Hamilton.
04:32Will you make the happiest man on earth and be my wife?
04:36I will.
04:41It's good.
04:44It's good.
04:49She's good.
04:50She's good.
04:54We love you.
05:00I think I'm lost for words.
05:03My lady, my fiance.
05:05My wife?
05:07It's crazy.
05:08I just met my fiance, and I could not be happier.
05:23It's so strange putting a voice to a face.
05:25This is just a cherry on top, to be honest.
05:28I think so, too.
05:29Yeah.
05:29I think so.
05:31Yeah.
05:32But I was going to love whoever comes to those doors.
05:34It doesn't matter what you look like.
05:36That's a magnificent woman in front of me.
05:39The biggest heart ever.
05:41Yeah.
05:43That's so nice.
05:47You look nicer.
05:54Like other people?
05:55I still feel like this, too.
05:57Mm-hmm.
05:58I think it's a sister that's lucky.
06:02Who loves?
06:03I love you.
06:04I love you, too.
06:09Christine is one of the sweetest, kindest, most gentlest woman I've ever met, and I can't
06:15wait to marry her.
06:16I think we fit good by each other.
06:18We do.
06:19It's good for me.
06:20It feels right.
06:22Mm-hmm.
06:23Yeah.
06:24Yeah.
06:25I'd spend 10,000 hours and 10,000 more.
06:30Oh, if that's what it takes to learn a sweet heart of yours.
06:51I feel like the luckiest person in the world.
06:59It's been 10,000 hours and 10,000 more.
07:05Oh, I'm gonna love you.
07:14I don't know what to do.
07:15I just feel so gaslight.
07:17And now I'm, like, rethinking.
07:19I'm like...
07:19No, no, no, no, no, no.
07:20This is not a reflection of you.
07:22This is a reflection of him.
07:23Emma, you didn't do anything wrong.
07:24What I really wanted from Steven was, like, that empathy and that emotion and that support.
07:29I felt invalidated.
07:32I was like, what the fuck is going on?
07:35Wait, so did you say the first guy was your number one?
07:37No.
07:38Like, all three of them, like, within the past couple days have been, like, one, two, three,
07:42two, one, three.
07:43I want to focus on my relationships with Mike and Connor.
07:46I'm just hoping that they can accept me for who I am.
07:51Hi.
07:52How are you?
07:53I want to talk about where our heads are at.
07:57Because, like, I really like talking to you, but, like, is there anything that, like, stands
08:01out about me?
08:03I like your laugh.
08:05I think we have the same values on a lot of things.
08:11I can see a future with you.
08:13Yeah.
08:15The only thing that scares me a little was the conversation that we had with the kid thing.
08:22Oh, God.
08:23Okay.
08:24Oh, my God.
08:26Take your time.
08:27I was actually adopted.
08:33I'm not going to disclose where, because I don't want to give away my appearance.
08:40Yeah, you don't have to do that.
08:41But...
08:42I do not know my family's medical history.
08:45I do not know who my birth family is.
08:47To bring a child into this world, I am afraid of not knowing what that means for my child in
08:58terms of health issues.
09:09I was born with birthmarks all over my body that had a very high chance of melanoma.
09:21Okay.
09:21So, I underwent ten surgeries before the age of seven to get them removed.
09:30Wow.
09:31And so, I am left with physical scarring.
09:36And I think bringing in a child, like, I don't know what I'm passing down.
09:40And, like, that's really scary.
09:43Yeah.
09:44I will never judge you for any type of physical appearance based on, like, what you went through.
09:53I really do appreciate you sharing that with me.
09:56And about the reasoning why, you know, you're having that struggle with having children or not having children.
10:03Yeah.
10:03But, I mean, just from you telling me that, I think you'd be a great mother if you were to
10:09choose to.
10:10I mean, to go through so much and have those uncertainties, you should be proud of who you are and
10:19where you came from.
10:20You're put on this earth for a reason.
10:21Like, things happen for a reason.
10:23I haven't told anybody this here, actually.
10:26So, I was a premature baby.
10:27Mm-hmm.
10:27Um, when I was born, um, I, I had trouble, like, breathing.
10:34Mm-hmm.
10:35I stopped breathing.
10:37And, and I flatlined.
10:39Wow.
10:40Um, and they had to bring me back to life.
10:43My gra- my grandma calls me, like, a little miracle baby.
10:46I like to consider myself a fighter.
10:49And I like to thank you are, too, now, for sharing me, sharing with me that.
10:53Like, you know, we're, we're fighters.
10:55Yeah.
10:55To go through something so, um, hard, and to be able to be, um, still an amazing person, I appreciate
11:04you sharing that with me.
11:10You okay?
11:12Yeah.
11:13I'm fine.
11:16No, thank you.
11:18Thanks for sharing your story, too.
11:19That's, that's really beautiful, and, like, I completely, like, agree.
11:23Like, I believe everyone's here for a reason.
11:25I'm, like, I'm glad you made it.
11:28Yeah, thank you.
11:31Falling into you.
11:39I was adopted.
11:41I was left at a train station, is what my parents told me.
11:45I was born with birthmarks all over my body.
11:49Okay.
11:50I had about 10 surgeries to remove the birthmarks that were high risk.
11:54Yeah.
11:55Spent a lot of time in the hospital.
11:56I do have, like, visible scars, like, on my arm and on my legs.
11:59I felt so different from everyone.
12:02Mm-hmm.
12:02And I think paired with not knowing my roots, it really, like, messed with my head as a kid.
12:08And I think I've started understanding of why do I not want kids, and I don't know if I selfishly,
12:17like, want them to go through the things I went through.
12:21It's like, I felt, like, alone.
12:25Yeah.
12:26Wow.
12:27Thank you for sharing that.
12:29I know that's fucking tough.
12:30I think it's valid, for sure, your hesitations.
12:34But I also think that because of what you went through, you'd be a fantastic mom.
12:38You've got a great heart.
12:40You're obviously awesome.
12:42So fun.
12:45Yeah.
12:46So.
12:51Thank you for, like, giving me the space and letting me share that.
12:55I know that I was not the easiest to open up, and you, instead of abandoning, you let me open
13:08up on my time.
13:09Mm-hmm.
13:10And I feel like, especially after today, it's, like, a new chapter for us.
13:18Yeah.
13:19You know me.
13:20It's, like, weird.
13:21Well, you want to know my favorite part about our relationship so far?
13:25What's your favorite part?
13:26When, like, shit got kind of real, we didn't run away from each other.
13:31That was absolutely massive.
13:33I can picture our life so vividly in the weirdest way.
13:37I could picture us in Mexico.
13:39I could picture us in our living room.
13:42I can see that.
13:45So can I.
13:50Six days.
13:52That's all it took for you to start getting visuals of sitting next to me on the couch.
13:56Yeah.
13:58Six days.
13:59And we might be engaged by the end of next week.
14:03Holy shit.
14:04Am I in your top two?
14:06What do you think?
14:08If you say no, I'm, like, I'm running through that orange door.
14:12Yes, Connor, you are top two.
14:18Am I in your top two?
14:20You are.
14:23We just got to talk about married life tomorrow.
14:26Let's talk about married life, baby boy.
14:27Because, like, as you know, in here, like, one night is, like, a month.
14:31It can change everything.
14:32Yeah, I like you.
14:34I like you, too.
14:40Mike is an amazing person, but I have a gut feeling that Connor would be the one at the end
14:46of this.
14:46Leave it all behind your heart tonight as you come alive.
14:54Since I'm down to one, there's something about it that I'll talk through with you guys that I'm, like, super
14:59nervous about.
14:59Yeah.
15:00It's that, uh, it's Amber.
15:01She has a kid, which is, like, so much pressure.
15:04Can't even imagine.
15:04She said her last boyfriend was three years, and she never introduced her daughter to that guy.
15:10Dude, I wouldn't worry about past shit.
15:12There's a reason she's chosen you.
15:14Yeah.
15:14There's a reason she's comfortable bringing your kid there.
15:17You're worth it.
15:18And if you just show who you are to what you've shown Amber, dude, her kid's going to love you.
15:23She would never, ever, ever bring you home to, like, her kid if she didn't trust you.
15:29Bingo.
15:30True.
15:30Bingo.
15:31That should be one of, like, the highest, like, honors.
15:33Like, the most, like, that's how she knows she really loves you.
15:36Yeah.
15:36You're going to add so much value to this kid's life.
15:38Exactly.
15:38Dude, you're such a good guy.
15:41That's so fair.
15:42Like, none of us are in the position you're in.
15:44But, like, dude, you're only...
15:44I do like kids, though.
15:45They're pretty hilarious.
15:46Dude, this kid is only going to have a better time with you.
15:49And I think Amber knows that.
15:50You still have to think about it.
15:51Absolutely, bro.
15:52When I was first interviewing for Love is Blind, they asked me about deal breakers.
15:57And I said, having a kid was a deal breaker.
16:02Now, here we are.
16:03So, like, this has been something I've been thinking a lot about.
16:05It's probably why I'm not getting much sleep at night.
16:07But she's been telling me so much about Emma, and I'm like, now it's kind of exciting.
16:11I think that I'm a very lucky guy to be in this position at all.
16:15And I hope that she feels the same.
16:17Like, I love my career.
16:18I love my job.
16:19Even if it is hard.
16:21You know, I have Emma.
16:22I love that.
16:23But it must be really nice to have somebody that's, like, there for you at the end of every day,
16:27for sure.
16:28Absolutely.
16:29I just like that we have a lot of similarities as far as, I don't know, being more open and
16:34honest.
16:34Like, when we were talking about finances and everything, we're like, yeah, we both fucked up at one point.
16:37You know what I mean?
16:38So, we're both shitty with money.
16:41It's, like, nice to not have that judgmental attitude with everything.
16:46And I think you're a very, like, understanding and caring person.
16:49And that is, like, different for me.
16:52What type of guys do you usually go for?
16:54Like, do you have a type?
16:55Are you talking personality-wise or, like, looks-wise?
16:58Um, I don't know.
16:59I didn't really, I didn't have anything too specific in mind.
17:02I just wasn't sure if there's, like, a, I guess either.
17:04Like, if there's, um, I'd be, yeah, I guess I'd be curious if there's a type that you're more attracted
17:09to usually.
17:10Looks-wise, it doesn't really matter.
17:12I think I've dated a different type of guy every time I've had a relationship.
17:15Okay.
17:16And I haven't had, like, that many relationships, if that makes sense.
17:21Yeah, me neither.
17:22What about you?
17:23I mean, and you could be more of the challenge, too.
17:24I don't care.
17:25The personality makes a huge difference.
17:27But, yeah, would you say that you usually go for more brunettes?
17:30Do you like blondes or redheads at all?
17:32Um, yeah.
17:33You're like, ah, basically anything.
17:34Yeah.
17:36I just don't know that many redheads.
17:38Um.
17:39So, actually, I'm not a redhead right now, but I am naturally kind of a redhead, and I used to
17:43be a, like, deep redhead.
17:46A little strawberry?
17:47I'm, I'm like strawberry, and for this time around, I kind of changed it up a little bit, but it's
17:50funny.
17:51Growing up, I was not attractive, like, whatsoever.
17:53I was, like, really skinny and had this, like, frizzy red hair at that time, you know?
17:58And I was a dork, like, I love planets, I had a planet shirt.
18:01So, I actually got fake assed out, like, in sixth grade in front of the entire school, you know?
18:06Oh, that's sad.
18:07Which was, like, humiliating, but I didn't cuss at that guy, but I basically told him the fuck off.
18:11I was made fun of heavily, like, in school, but it was one of the poorest kids, and having a
18:16kid, like, out of wedlock, and not even being in a relationship, and, like, going through that, like, there was
18:21a lot of judgment at that time period, but then I just kind of learned I had to own it.
18:25I just don't give a shit now.
18:27You know, I think it's something I feel a little bit insecure about is, like, growing up, I had a
18:31hard time with learning.
18:34Like, I had a teacher call me, like, a stupid kid once.
18:37What?
18:37Yeah, I was pretty crazy.
18:38What a bitch.
18:38Yeah, I had an ex-girlfriend that kind of reaffirmed that insecurity as well, which, that sucked.
18:45Well, tell her she's stupid.
18:46Yeah, she is.
18:48Anyway, when I did get my degree, that felt pretty good.
18:51Good.
18:52Good for you.
18:53I don't know that I've found my path professionally, and I haven't been exercising.
18:58Like, I haven't been utilizing my time wisely for things that matter.
19:02Finding something that truly fulfills me in life, honestly, you're like, I've told you a million times I love to
19:07cook.
19:07It's like an art form in a way, like the way that I talk about it.
19:10It's like, oh, dude, that makes me feel really good.
19:12So, I think I'll figure things out, but I, you know, got to make money.
19:15So, got to keep, got to keep doing the damn thing for a while.
19:18I totally get that.
19:19I mean, I love my job, don't get me wrong, and helping people is pretty amazing.
19:24But I'm kind of like you were, I'm a little bit more artsy, a little bit more do-it-yourself
19:27type of thing.
19:28And not to be like, I'm not like everybody else.
19:30I'm not like everybody else.
19:31Like, I just think I am weird.
19:33So, like, and I'm okay with that.
19:35Yeah.
19:36I would, I mean, it'd be really nice to have somebody to be weird with.
19:39Yeah.
19:39I wonder if everybody thinks that they're weird.
19:41Yeah, I think I like, I guess I'd probably just wear my weirdness on my sleeve a little bit more.
19:46Mm-hmm.
19:46Everybody probably can be.
19:47Honestly, prior to, like, having Emma, during those insecurities, I felt, like, this overwhelming pressure to be, like, this perfect
19:54girl.
19:55But it's interesting.
19:56Like, you go through shit, and you're like, I don't really care about being perfect anymore.
20:01Yeah.
20:01And, like, listen to you talk.
20:03I like your voice.
20:04See, when people say that, I don't get that, because I feel like I have this brash voice.
20:08There's so many girls in this group that have, like, these soft, loving voices.
20:12I'm like, why can't I have that soft, loving voice?
20:14No, you have, uh, your voice is, like, charming.
20:16Really?
20:17I don't think so.
20:19Yeah, I like it.
20:20It's just going to be strange to, like, match a voice with a face.
20:23Only thing that I could possibly say, and it's almost impossible to know until you meet, is, like, what if
20:28we don't have any natural chemistry?
20:30As long as it's not, like, some six-year-old man that's, like, fat and, like, nasty.
20:36No, yeah.
20:37I mean, I'm really, really, really trying to just focus on the personal connection, and, like, I've felt really good
20:44about ours.
20:45Isn't it crazy we could have just, like, swiped each other on Tinder and...
20:48That you live out in Mount Vernon?
20:51I don't think I have my range that high.
20:53To Mount Vernon?
20:54Yeah.
20:56Well, see, there was your problem.
20:58Yeah.
20:59Yeah.
21:00I'm just kidding.
21:01I haven't been on Tinder in years.
21:03That's funny.
21:05Today's been great.
21:06That's been really nice.
21:07Just to let you know, I'm a 61-year-old man.
21:09God damn it.
21:15Keep it cool, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
21:20Something like a dream.
21:22My date better not be falling in love with nobody right now.
21:24I know.
21:24Tomorrow, I'm standing on them stairs, like, if anybody is dating in my man.
21:28Come forward.
21:29Raise your hand.
21:30I love you, bitch.
21:31I'm so sorry.
21:32Put your dating in my man.
21:34God.
21:35No, seriously.
21:36Oh, shit's getting so real.
21:38My main question right now is, I know it shouldn't be, but it's like, am I your number one, or
21:44am I your backup?
21:46You had the audacity trying to connect with me after all you put me through.
21:59Keep me going, lead me on.
22:02Make me feel like I'm the one.
22:05How we feeling?
22:07Good.
22:08How do you feel about us?
22:10I feel good.
22:11I really love where, you know, we've, you know, been able to develop and really just,
22:16you know, learn, but I got to figure out what the future could look like.
22:19Yeah, I get that.
22:21I get that.
22:21Like, this is your, you know, career.
22:23I have a great job, but if you are my husband, I will make whatever work.
22:27I think the biggest thing is guilt.
22:32Like, I don't want to feel like it's, like, I was taking away, you know?
22:36Like, it's just so, ah.
22:39If we were to be married, right?
22:41Like, what I just said, I meant it.
22:42Like, that's not a hard decision for me.
22:45Okay.
22:45We both talk about wanting kids someday, but for whatever reason, it doesn't happen.
22:49How would that make you feel?
22:51I think it would be really, really hard, but one of my favorite mottos is cry a river,
22:54build a bridge, and get over it.
22:56And so I would definitely cry a river.
22:57I'd probably cry ocean.
22:59But then it's like, okay, well, why is this my life's journey?
23:03Maybe God wants me to go a different path, but I feel like I'm called to be a mother.
23:08Like, if my kids would love me, they would probably have to go to therapy for some reason
23:12because of me.
23:13I'm like, you can have the best parents.
23:15You can have to go to therapy for some reason.
23:16But I'm hoping it's like, oh, my God, my mom loved me too much.
23:20Like, help.
23:21You know, like, hopefully it is because I'm doing something overly motherly.
23:24But I feel like I'm going to be a great mom.
23:26I think so, too.
23:28Yeah.
23:29Is there anything that your kids could do where you would maybe distance yourself from them?
23:34Mm.
23:36What about, like, their sexuality?
23:38No, I would be welcoming, you know.
23:41You are who you are.
23:42Of course, I would have this idea in my head of, like, what I want from, like, my son.
23:47So that, it would be hard, but I mean, I'm still going to be accepting, though.
23:51Yeah.
23:52I love that answer.
23:53Every man I've dated in the past answer has been, like,
23:56like, my son will never be gay.
23:58Yeah.
23:59And, like, if he's gay, like, I'm going to take him to the strip club.
24:02And I'm like, that's a little strange.
24:04Like, but I also understand the idea of, like, dang, I have this vision for what your life
24:09would be like.
24:09Like, and it's a little different, so I got to go handle my shit while I also try to love
24:14you through your shit and figure out how to support you.
24:16Exactly.
24:16Yeah.
24:17I don't think I've, like, really talked about my mom too, too much.
24:21Yeah, you haven't.
24:22When I was, uh, when I was 18, my mom, she almost passed away.
24:28Um, it was, it was insane.
24:31And it really changed the whole dynamic of, like, the household and, you know, everything.
24:38She...
24:39Are you okay with saying how?
24:40It's actually crazy because I was suspended from school.
24:43What'd you do?
24:44I went to, um, gym class, like, four straight periods because it was a substitute teacher.
24:50And I just played basketball the whole day.
24:53Oh, my God, Kevin.
24:55But I finally got caught, um...
24:59The last period of the day.
25:01Yeah.
25:01And so I, you know, was at home.
25:04My mom, you know, was upstairs.
25:05You know, she just passed out.
25:07I'm like, my mom's out of it.
25:07Like, what the heck?
25:08What's going on?
25:09They don't call 911.
25:10You know, we go to the hospital.
25:11So it turns out she had a rare blood infection that was, like, affecting her leg.
25:18And literally, like, the doctor told me, like, hey, if you weren't suspended and didn't do
25:21that, like, you'd have came home and your mom, you know, would have been gone, you know?
25:26And so, you know, had to have her foot amputated.
25:29And it was just like, wow.
25:31Like, for all this to happen to me at 18, it made me have to really, like, grow up.
25:37Yeah.
25:37And just be the man of the house, care for her, you know, help her and, you know, really,
25:43you know, make sure she's good.
25:45Yeah.
25:45First of all, thank you for sharing that with me.
25:47Yeah.
25:47Because I know you're not a person that likes to harp on, like, the tough parts of life.
25:51No, I'm not.
25:52So I know, like, you're sharing this with me because it's important.
25:55So thank you.
25:56Your mom sounds like a soldier.
25:58So.
25:58Yeah, she's a soldier for sure.
25:59Love her.
26:00You sound like a phenomenal son, which I love and I'm not surprised about at all.
26:05Like, the shit that we've talked about in the past, what is it, six days?
26:09Yeah.
26:10Probably haven't talked about in, like, years.
26:13Yeah.
26:14But just like, wow.
26:16Like, these emotions are so strong.
26:20Like, it's.
26:22Wow.
26:23Like, this is, this is actually crazy.
26:26Do you feel like you have strong emotions for more than one person?
26:31No.
26:32Actually, I don't.
26:34I can feel it.
26:35We're meant for something, though.
26:39Yeah, we're here to conquer it all.
26:42Conquer it all.
26:43Conquer it all.
26:47Uh, Jess?
26:49Huh?
26:49Are you dating Kevin?
26:50No.
26:50Are you dating Kevin?
26:51You don't give me Kevin vibes.
26:53Sorry to say, but.
26:56Definitely getting engaged.
27:02Tyler, she's my number one, and I think I am Tyler's number one.
27:06I definitely think Tyler would be happy with me, and we would be happy with each other.
27:11We just get each other, and it feels good.
27:14Kevin, you done the one as well, you think?
27:16Two.
27:17You got two?
27:17Yeah.
27:18Going into this date with Kia, it's important for me to let her know that these feelings I had for
27:26Tyler were stronger.
27:28After you, me lady.
27:29It scares the shit out of me to have to initiate those conversations, because everything's been so flowing, so easy.
27:39I want her to be happy, and if that conversation comes up, I definitely could see breakups happening.
27:47This is something that I just wasn't expecting to have to, you know, do today.
27:52Hi.
27:53How are you feeling?
27:54How are you feeling?
27:55Oh, my goodness.
27:56I'm so excited to hear your voice.
27:58Oh, my God, you don't even understand.
28:00I was low-key.
28:01I didn't...
28:02It's a long story.
28:03Talk to me.
28:04What's up?
28:04There's just so much going on today, and I was like, if I open this pod door and he's not
28:12on the other side, I'm going to be so annoyed.
28:14Yeah.
28:15It's hard to not be invested in everyone else's shit, but also, like, focusing on what you have going on,
28:21so.
28:23Um, yeah.
28:26What are, um, you know, what's kind of your thoughts on, you know, kind of us?
28:29I feel like I'm enjoying the, the timeline.
28:32Okay.
28:34You stick out for me.
28:36Okay.
28:37And I do want to get to know you some more.
28:39What are your thoughts?
28:41I don't want to play with anyone's heart, you know?
28:43Yeah.
28:43And that's what's been messing with me.
28:48I really, you know, just kind of been, you know, thinking more about, like, how I should go about explaining
28:57those feelings and being open and, you know, letting Kia know, like, where, you know, I'm coming from with, you
29:04know, the connections that we're making here.
29:06Well, I mean, I think you're doing what you're supposed to be doing.
29:09An experiment is for you to, like, have other connections and get to know people and figure out where that
29:16lies.
29:17Um, I'm a big girl, so.
29:20Yeah.
29:20Let me know what's up.
29:22Yeah.
29:22Don't have me out here, you know, wondering, thinking.
29:25And I would do the same thing with you.
29:28If you're saying you have other connections, then yes, I think you should have other connections.
29:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:33Day five or day six.
29:35Yeah, exactly.
29:36I think that a lot of times people here probably make knee-jerk decisions and it wasn't even something that
29:45needed to be decided so soon.
29:47But I think you also do need to be intentional about, okay, are you saying you have other connections and
29:52you still want to get to know me as well?
29:54Or what are you saying?
29:57I think I do want to still learn more about you, but also I know that I have maybe stronger
30:10connections out there, too.
30:11Yeah.
30:12And that's what's been kind of fucking me up.
30:15Yeah.
30:16That's a toughie.
30:17I know.
30:18This is crazy.
30:20We're on day six.
30:21Yeah.
30:22I can't believe, yeah, I can't believe this.
30:26So, but I will say this.
30:30It was very nice.
30:31Like, open the door and just hear Kia's voice.
30:33You know, I was just like, wow.
30:36Yay.
30:39Yay.
30:39Yeah.
30:40Yeah, yeah.
30:41So, where do we go from here?
30:42I would like to just talk a little more, then I can really just think with my heart of, like,
30:51kind of what that'll look like, because you deserve to know.
30:56So, let's dive into just a few things of, like, more about you.
31:00Can we do that?
31:00Yeah.
31:01Okay.
31:01Let's do it.
31:02All right.
31:02I'm an open book.
31:03One of the questions that I wanted to ask is, what does love look like for you?
31:07For me, it looks like honesty.
31:09Mm-hmm.
31:10It looks like fun.
31:13It looks, like, gross.
31:17Love feels like home.
31:20I remember my aunt being, like, that back in the day with my uncle, her husband.
31:27Her, she said that her favorite sound were the keys, his keys opening up the door.
31:33You know, she could have easily been like, love is when I see his face or when I, you know,
31:37when he holds me.
31:38But she said hearing, just the thought of hearing his keys was the highlight for her and made her giddy,
31:45excited.
31:46And I think after she said that, it kind of changed my perception of love and made me want more.
31:53I don't want to say, like, people have superficial meanings of love, but I think that the sound of his
31:59keys jingling coming in the door, I've never heard that.
32:02Like, that's so, that's so specific and romantic and impactful.
32:10So, I'm looking for that.
32:11I love that.
32:13You mentioned that you're looking for a best friend, a partner, as opposed to just, like, having a wife.
32:20You want to have your partner in crime.
32:21You're Robin's a Batman.
32:23You're, you know, all those cliches.
32:26You think you're ready for marriage?
32:28I definitely do think I'm ready for marriage.
32:32You think love is blind?
32:33Ooh, it could be.
32:36It could be.
32:37It could be.
32:38Okay.
32:39Yeah.
32:39I definitely have had a dope connection with you.
32:43It's been very, just easy.
32:46I came in here, you know, with you, like, for this date, really, you know, fired up about my previous
32:53date.
32:54Mm-hmm.
32:55It was almost like I wasn't coming in with an open mind, and I didn't know coming in if that
32:59was the right thing to do at first.
33:02What do you mean?
33:03Am I doing something I'm not supposed to be doing, you know?
33:08By keeping your options open?
33:10No.
33:10Well, yes, but, yes, but, no, like, more so just.
33:17I get that you're an empath.
33:19You definitely don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
33:22Exactly.
33:22And I really do respect that.
33:24Yeah.
33:25Um, maybe if this was not an experiment where we were getting to know so many people so fast, then
33:31I would be a little more jarred.
33:34But it's day six, so it makes sense.
33:39Definitely, definitely does.
33:40I don't feel like I know everything that's to come.
33:43Yeah.
33:44Which is scary, yes, but also exciting.
33:47I didn't realize how easy it is just to talk to you about feelings.
33:51Like, it's refreshing, you know?
33:54Do you think I was going to be like, you got me fucked up?
34:01Choose up right now.
34:02Oh, my God.
34:04Oh, my God.
34:04Hell no.
34:04Are you kidding me?
34:05I'm realistic.
34:06I think you should probably have some fun with it.
34:09Yeah.
34:10Let's do that.
34:11Let's have some fun.
34:11Remember that the best is yet to come.
34:14The best is yet to come.
34:16Mm-hmm.
34:34Master is at work.
34:35Yes, sir.
34:37Can I lick the spoon?
34:45I always watch my mom and my grandma cooking growing up, and I've learned a lot from my
34:49mom.
34:49I still do learn cooking stuff from her.
34:51So, I'm going to make some mom's chocolate chip cookies.
34:54She let me have the recipe, which she doesn't just freely give out, but she let baby boy have
34:58it.
34:59I think we've got it into a dough here.
35:01Oh, yeah.
35:02We got dough, baby.
35:04Cooking, that's my love language.
35:05That's how I show you that I care about cheese that can give you something good.
35:08So, I'm excited to share those with Amber.
35:13Those are massive.
35:14Right?
35:18Oh, my gosh.
35:19These are so good.
35:20My guy made cookies.
35:21Y'all want cookies.
35:22You made cookies?
35:23No, my guy did.
35:26Stop.
35:26That is the cutest thing ever.
35:29I know.
35:30I'm totally stealing one.
35:31I feel so incredibly special that he made me cookies.
35:35No one's done that for me before.
35:37What kind are they?
35:38Chocolate chips?
35:38Yes, they're so good.
35:40They're amazing.
35:41Have one.
35:42Jordan, he feels like home to me.
35:45All the girls love the cookies.
35:47Yeah?
35:47Yes.
35:48All right.
35:49Let's go.
35:50I've just been reflecting on this crazy journey, and it's been...
35:56so wild, so many emotions, so worth it to be sitting here right now with you in this pod.
36:04The amount of growl that we've covered really is, um, it's pretty spectacular to think about.
36:11It really is.
36:12And I know we've talked about it a lot for sure, but, I mean, are you feeling, like, nervous or
36:19anxious or anything like that about bringing, like, two people into your life?
36:22Um, so, am I nervous?
36:25Yeah, I've never, I've never, like, helped with a kid before.
36:30Um, you know, but just from getting to know you and, like, hearing about her personality, it's really put me
36:37at ease about that.
36:40Um, something that helps is knowing that she has, like, a strong relationship with her dad.
36:44Yeah.
36:45Like, you've got a good support system, and it's, like, it doesn't make me feel like there's a, like, a,
36:50like, a, you know, amount of pressure on me.
36:53Sure.
36:53It feels like more of, like, a privilege that I get to do.
36:56And that's a good perspective to have.
36:57I mean, she does have a great dad, you know?
36:59Yeah.
36:59It's not like you're having to step in and take this, like, placeholder position or anything like that.
37:04Like, it's more, I think it could be more fun for sure.
37:08Yeah, I feel good about that.
37:09And trust me when I say coming in at the age of seven is much easier than any other age.
37:17She's potty trained.
37:18She can wipe her own butt.
37:20Yeah, that part.
37:23Oh, man.
37:23Oh, my gosh.
37:24I was thinking about you all night.
37:25I was thinking about you, too.
37:29I meant to, like, write you kind of, like, a letter in my notebook, but I actually just drew random
37:34pictures that were expressive to me.
37:37And, like, I did do a theme on, like, one of them, which was, like, what does love mean to
37:41you?
37:43And it was really nice.
37:44It really made me realize a lot.
37:47I've got some stuff written for you, too.
37:50I'm going to read you this little thing that I wrote here to the most beautiful person that I've never
37:55seen.
37:57You are strong, charming, confident.
38:01You're a fighter, a caretaker, and you're a role model.
38:05And I want to thank you for taking this chance and for showing me who you really are and accepting
38:10me for who I am.
38:11So, to the queen of my double-wide trailer.
38:15Yes.
38:15Amber Catherine Morrison, I love you.
38:19I'm on one knee now.
38:21And I would love to know if you'd do the honor of being my wife.
38:27Oh, my goodness.
38:31I would love to.
38:35Amazing.
38:41I'm, like, about to cry.
38:45Oh, my goodness.
38:46That was the most beautiful thing that anyone who has never saw me has ever wrote.
38:52I love you.
38:53I love you, too.
38:55Who would have thought this girl that you would have swiped left on on Tinder because she lived in Mount
38:59Vernon?
39:00I'm about to put a ring on her tomorrow.
39:03Are you nervous that I'm going to come out there and be, like, a one-legged, um...
39:08I'm not.
39:08I'm not worried about it at all.
39:10Here's to love.
39:11Here's to love.
39:12Go celebrate with your boy.
39:14All right.
39:14Love you.
39:15Love you, too.
39:21Yes!
39:22Yes!
39:23Yes!
39:26Aw, you're so beautiful.
39:31Hey.
39:32Come here, big guy.
39:33Yeah.
39:34Let's go, baby.
39:35Yeah.
39:37Oh, my God.
39:38Aw, you're cheesing so hard.
39:39I know, dude.
39:42Oh.
39:51Yeah.
39:53And then there were 11.
39:55I'm telling you, day one, I was in the shower praying, and I was, like, put on my heart why
40:01I'm here, God.
40:01Dream big and take risks, baby.
40:05I woke up this morning having extreme clarity.
40:06I'm, like, in a really, really great place about the relationship itself.
40:10Like, I'm very clear.
40:11I love that.
40:13Aw.
40:14We're talking about Kayvon.
40:15Yeah.
40:15Yeah.
40:16Kayvon.
40:17Kayvon.
40:17Kayvon.
40:18I liked him.
40:19He was nice.
40:19In, like, the best way.
40:21Yeah.
40:21I now am so freaking clear on what I want.
40:24No, that's gonna be really true.
40:24Which I thought I knew coming in here.
40:26I know I have these strong feelings.
40:28In my head, I'm like, husband, all right?
40:31This is serious business.
40:32I can see Kevin, like, oh, my God.
40:34I think you're my wife, and then we live happily ever after.
40:37It's like, and my answer is yes.
40:40I'm happy for you.
40:40I'm happy that you're in a good place.
40:43I'm in a great place.
40:43When you fall in love, you look just a little bit different.
40:47Yeah.
40:48Good luck, ladies.
40:53Whew.
40:54I wish I could be nosy in somebody else's pod right now.
40:57Yeah.
41:00Have you talked to the other guys about how you're feeling?
41:03Not really.
41:05Just because I'm just trying to be protective of, you know, other people's feelings.
41:11How's talking with the women, man?
41:13Pretty much the same.
41:14I definitely don't want anyone to hear something that I say, and then that kind of, like, gets
41:19in their head about what they've got going on.
41:22Mm-hmm.
41:22At the end of the day, I'm rooting for everyone, you know, including myself.
41:26Yeah.
41:26I really don't want to, you know, mess with anybody's time and play with anybody's hearts,
41:32and it just, it fucks, it fucks with me.
41:34I feel like you keep saying that, and maybe, like, you're ignoring the fact that we kind
41:38of all signed up for this.
41:40That's true.
41:41That's very true.
41:42So, I think you're maybe overthinking just a little bit.
41:44You're right.
41:45I am overthinking.
41:48Hmm.
41:50Were you excited to have this date?
41:52No, yeah.
41:53I definitely was excited.
41:55Thinking about your mom, do you think she'd be proud of the decisions that you're making
41:59and the conversations you're having?
42:00I think she would, just off the simple fact that I'm being vulnerable.
42:05And my mom, she's so awesome, man.
42:08Aw.
42:09Yeah, I've definitely been missing her.
42:11So, my mother, you know, had suffered kind of a pretty serious injury back when I was 18.
42:17She, you know, had to, you know, have her leg amputated.
42:22Sometimes, you know, I have to make sure, you know, my mom's good.
42:26That's a big hurdle.
42:28I'll be like, why, like, her, you know?
42:31Like, why would something so whack happen to someone so dope?
42:37It's, like, fuck.
42:39That fucking sucks.
42:41Like, you know, like, that's really shitty.
42:43But I think that she's still so dope and so cool.
42:47Don't forget that she's still your mom.
42:49Don't forget that part, you know?
42:51You're making a shitty situation as beautiful as possible.
42:56That felt really good to hear.
42:58You know, my dad passed away when I was 15.
43:01Yeah.
43:03And our mom has always, like, battled with addiction.
43:07Yeah.
43:07So, my grandmother.
43:09You raised you.
43:10Yep, she raised us.
43:12And my dad was super into watches back in the day.
43:16Oh, really?
43:17Yeah.
43:17And he would always just be like, you know, watches remind you of the time you have.
43:23And so then when he passed, up until, well, really, like, forever, I, like, never had a watch.
43:31And before I entered into this experiment, I finally got my first watch.
43:36Oh, wow.
43:37All of these years, I've gone without this watch because I was, like, trying to find the perfect one.
43:43Hmm.
43:44When in reality, I think the timing of it just aligned with me being ready to be open to letting
43:56go of the perfect time, you know?
44:01Right, right.
44:02And this watch is a reminder for me to be present and to show up for myself.
44:07And I think showing up for myself is having tough conversations and being me and keeping it real and it
44:18reminds me of my dad.
44:19No, I love that.
44:20And I think it's cute.
44:21I think he would say it was cute, too.
44:24He definitely would.
44:26Yeah.
44:31I think you truly are a conqueror.
44:37You know, for the things that you've overcome, for the things that you've accomplished.
44:41Like, it's truly something special.
44:45It's truly something special.
44:50Hmm.
44:51Man.
44:52This was nice, Kia.
44:54And I think the timing was honestly perfect.
44:56Like, you had other dates and everybody's saying, like, throwing out phrases, strong connection this and...
45:05I know, right?
45:06Strong connection that.
45:08But I feel, like, authentic.
45:12You feel me?
45:13Like, I think a marriage has to be rooted in love and being in love.
45:19This has to be rooted in my marriage.
45:21When I say love, I mean it because I've seen so many marriages I feel like settling.
45:27Mm-hmm.
45:28And I'm not settling.
45:30I don't want to settle.
45:31It's giving me a lot to think about.
45:33Same.
45:35I'll talk to you tonight.
45:36Thanks for today.
45:37Oh, no.
45:38Thank you, honestly.
45:40It meant a lot to just be able to just kind of share and open up a little bit.
45:44Yeah.
45:46It did for me, too.
45:58I was trying to figure out who is someone that does it, who has, like, a number two, who has
46:02a number two they've been stringing long.
46:04Well, we don't know who any of us is.
46:06Hmm?
46:07We don't know who any of us is.
46:07But that's what I'm saying.
46:08I'm dating Kevin.
46:09I know.
46:09I'm in my life.
46:10Kia?
46:11Oh, it's Kia.
46:12Damn, I didn't think that.
46:13Never mind.
46:13I thought it was breezy.
46:16Oh.
46:17No, I had a feeling, but that confirmed yesterday.
46:20Interesting.
46:20If they've been dating for this long, she could be my man's side date.
46:24I feel like if it was him, though, he would have ended his date right now.
46:27Okay.
46:28Okay.
46:29Okay.
46:31Like, he was gushing about how great I am.
46:32Like, thank you.
46:33I appreciate it.
46:33I appreciate the validation, but I know that.
46:35Yeah.
46:35So what are you going to do about it?
46:37Yeah.
46:39Yep.
46:40What you going to do, baby?
46:42Oh.
46:46I'm, like, shaky.
46:51How was gushing?
46:52It was good.
46:53It was really good.
46:54Being, like, very honest and open and we were getting vulnerable.
46:58So good.
46:59This is the rest of your life.
47:01True.
47:02So.
47:02True.
47:03There's really.
47:03Very true.
47:04Yeah.
47:05I mean, what's the worst that can happen?
47:08You're my number one-ish.
47:09Ish.
47:11And you might break up with me.
47:14Will you tell me it's just what we make it?
47:20Oh, while you're trying to tie it up on.
47:24What you doing?
47:25Norton.
47:26Norton?
47:27Come sit on the couch with me.
47:29Who are you dating?
47:30Who am I dating?
47:31Now he can tell me.
47:32Dating this guy named Kevin.
47:34No.
47:35You're the Kevin.
47:37Yeah.
47:38Oh, my gosh.
47:43Hello, hello.
47:45Hello, hello.
47:46How we feeling?
47:47I feel good looking at this In-N-Out.
47:50Yes, I am.
47:51Yeah.
47:52This looks good.
47:53It does.
47:54How are you?
47:55I'm with that.
47:56Okay.
47:57I'm just okay today.
48:01Let's see if we can get to good.
48:03Okay.
48:07I'm going to eat me some In-N-Out.
48:11Okay, so I'm feeling all the energy.
48:17I am curious as to where you are.
48:23You were the first person that I really gravitated towards, right?
48:27It was easy.
48:29But now it's just like, I don't know.
48:33Like, it's stupid.
48:35It's just fucking crazy.
48:36But I feel like I still don't really understand how you feel.
48:39I feel like I understand how you feel like I feel and I would feel.
48:44But I don't know that I understand how you feel, you know?
48:48Yeah.
48:49I feel it would be hard.
48:50That's how I feel.
48:51So you're not open to either long distance or somebody moving to you?
48:59No, I do feel good about someone, you know, moving to Columbus.
49:05What I don't feel good about is it being for just because I'm there.
49:12Like, I feel like I should be able to meet in the middle.
49:15So can you?
49:17My mom, I think I could, potentially.
49:21I'm just trying to figure out what it looks like.
49:24That's all.
49:25Fuck.
49:25This is so hard.
49:27I'm sorry.
49:36I feel like you're struggling.
49:42No, I get that.
49:44I get that.
49:47Oh, my God, man.
49:49This guy out of the left field.
49:55I wasn't expecting from my, like, first date.
50:03I don't know.
50:04Like, shit is just weird.
50:07It's all over the place, man.
50:09Like, was your first date good?
50:11Yeah.
50:16We haven't said names, but I'm very sure I know who your first date was.
50:19The fact that you had a great first date might be confirmation that both of us need.
50:25Like, we can live in the what ifs all day.
50:27But for me, I know that I want a man who is going to choose me unapologetically.
50:34And at this moment, I got to choose myself, you know?
50:47Oh, man.
50:48This whole shit has been crazy.
50:52I know you're ready to go to battle.
50:54And I am, too.
50:56But also, I don't want to, one, get in the way.
51:00And then, two, I have to understand, you know, where my heart has been taking me.
51:09Okay.
51:14No, you're welcome.
51:16Like, I...
51:19Tyler, like, you have your heart, your energy of, like, just, like, being bubbly, just being able just to have
51:28just the best of times.
51:30It's just remarkable, you know?
51:33Like, it's been so fucking fire.
51:37It's true.
51:38But, like, I have to stop you.
51:39Like, I cannot listen to another speech on how great I am.
51:42Like, I just can't.
51:47I appreciate it.
51:51And I...
51:53Who you're selecting is an incredible woman.
51:56Phenomenal.
51:57Like, I am so happy for y'all.
51:59But I'm not doing this shit.
52:01Yeah.
52:07The truth is so cold.
52:10I can't ignore.
52:14I'm picking anybody.
52:16I'm not selecting anybody.
52:17I'm just talking about...
52:19How I fucking feel.
52:28It's crazy.
52:31Oh, this is so fucking shit.
52:42How does it get better than this?
52:46Coming into this, I was like, what if I just really have a shitty personality?
52:50No one loves me.
52:52Like, that would have sucked.
52:53But turns out somebody loves my personality, okay?
52:57We've got that.
52:58I've chosen Jordan to be my husband because he is genuine, caring, loving what I wanted in a man.
53:06We are not the type of people that are going to be walking down the street trying to pretend we're,
53:10like, this perfect couple.
53:11Like, he's not going to take me to his country club and, like, sit me on this high porch and,
53:15like, be like, okay, I need to be this person.
53:17Like, no.
53:18Having somebody say that I'm enough based on the human that I am, it's incredible.
53:26Made up my mind, made up my heart.
53:29I've chosen Amber to be my wife, and I feel so good and so confident about this choice.
53:35Have I ever been to the shore or something?
53:36Maybe, like, when I make a Chipotle order.
53:39I'm just kidding.
53:42She's super caring.
53:43She's an amazing role model for her daughter.
53:46I told her I wouldn't tell this.
53:47She's got a little bit of a sweet side, too, but she's not going to show that to anybody else.
53:57I'm not really nervous about meeting Jordan because, you know, even if he did not think I was attractive or
54:02something like that, I don't think he'd run away as far as meeting him itself.
54:06For some reason, I'm still at peace.
54:12You know, we have no clue what each other looks like.
54:14My biggest fear is, like, what if she isn't attracted to me?
54:17You know, if she looks at me, she's like, ooh, this dude is not my type.
54:30All my life I've been searching
54:33For a love that is certain
54:37Within you I know this love won't break
54:41Every breath, every step I take
54:45All my life
54:47Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
54:56-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
55:03-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
55:06-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
55:06-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
