00:07Previously on Temptation Island.
00:09I genuinely do care for you and like you a lot.
00:12It's great to hear, but it sucks to hear it on my crossroads.
00:16I love my boyfriend. I do want to be with him, but I don't compete with anyone.
00:20So if you like someone else, you'll leave with someone else, and I'll leave by myself, and I'll be okay.
00:25I had a lot of fun last night.
00:27Me too.
00:28Waking up next to Jesse reminded me how much I really do like him.
00:31Just the simple fact that I waited until our final date to really be able to show him physically how
00:36much I appreciate him.
00:37It was really special.
00:39I feel like you deserve all of me.
00:41I just know that there's going to be some shifts in my life that I'm going to have to make.
00:45Is Kendall going to hurt me like he hurt his girlfriend?
00:48That hasn't happened yet, but I feel like coming, I guess.
00:55Unfortunately, I'm here with some difficult news.
00:57It's time to leave the island.
01:03You're not going to tempt me.
01:06You'll never forget me.
01:10You're not going to tempt me.
01:12Oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:17You're not going to tempt me.
01:20You'll never forget me.
01:24You're not going to tempt me.
01:44You're not going to tempt me.
01:44You're not going to tempt me.
01:44You're not going to tempt me.
01:44You're not going to tempt me.
01:45You're not going to tempt me.
01:45You're not going to tempt me.
01:45You're not going to tempt me.
01:45You're not going to tempt me.
01:46You're not going to tempt me.
01:49You're not going to tempt me.
01:54You're not going to tempt me.
01:56All right.
01:57That escalated quick.
01:59Yeah, I was expecting that.
02:01Wow.
02:02I thought we'd have, like, at least a night and then...
02:05Yeah.
02:07Sometime tomorrow.
02:08What?
02:12I-I don't know what to say, you know.
02:14You've helped me so much.
02:16You are definitely the reason I was able to make it
02:19through this-this experience.
02:24I'm happy I met you.
02:25For real.
02:26Yeah?
02:27Yep.
02:30I would love to, you know, pursue a relationship with Cory
02:33if, uh, circumstances are different.
02:35But at the end of the day, I feel like he's the only one
02:37that can change the circumstances, so it's really up to him
02:40and the final bonfire to see if he's willing to accept
02:43the growth or non-growth that Erin has achieved through this.
02:48You better put your foot down.
02:50And, you know, don't forget this, man.
02:55Like, when I see that ring, you know, if-if everything goes
02:59as planned, like, like, I hope it will.
03:01And, you know, she says yes, and every time I see that ring
03:03on her finger, I'm gonna think of-of you as well
03:06because you helped me, you know, through that journey.
03:08Just challenging me to open up, you know, in ways that will help me
03:12move forward in my future.
03:13And, you know, I needed that tremendously.
03:17Tula was, you know, somebody who's shown me, ultimately,
03:20how to communicate better, you know?
03:22And I'm-that's-I'm blessed for that.
03:23I wish you nothing but luck with the proposal.
03:25I appreciate it to you.
03:26Love does exist, and we can overcome our obstacles
03:30and provide grace to one another.
03:32And you are literally leading by example.
03:37Damn.
03:40I'm gonna miss you.
03:41I'm gonna miss you more.
03:43I don't know what's gonna happen.
03:44I don't know.
03:45But, like, for sure, whatever happens,
03:48like, you and I, we're staying.
03:50Like, we're keeping our connection.
03:52It just-it's-it's hard saying goodbye, you know?
03:56That's why we're not saying goodbye.
03:57That's-I know. We're not. We're not.
04:01I've been blessed, blessed to have you here.
04:09I hope Tom makes the decision that's best for him,
04:12and I think he knows that deep down inside.
04:14So, I'm-I know I'll be okay,
04:16because I know I'll see Tom again.
04:17I'm really gonna miss you.
04:18I'm gonna miss you so much.
04:24Hmm.
04:27You're shaking it.
04:28I know.
04:31We're gonna be good.
04:33We're gonna be good.
04:34We're gonna be good.
04:34I think that every single day
04:36that I get to see a new part of you,
04:38um, a new part that I've grown to love
04:40and cherish and appreciate, and...
04:46I know this isn't goodbye.
04:48Yeah. I agree.
04:51Maybe it's a good thing I didn't put makeup on today.
04:53You're good.
04:55You're good. You're good.
04:57Just trust me, trust my judgment, and...
05:01You're about to start making me get emotional.
05:04Like, dang, you're catching me off going now.
05:07Dude.
05:10I don't even know how the rest of this journey's gonna play out.
05:12Well, I know you'll make the best decision,
05:14and, you know, I told you I respect whatever you decide
05:18at the end of the day, so...
05:20It's all up to you now.
05:23It's all up to you.
05:24The ball's on my court?
05:26Mm-hmm.
05:29What a mess.
05:32I'm still here.
05:33I'm still here.
05:37I'm just really sad to see Alexis go.
05:39I already miss her.
05:40Um, we just have this certain chemistry and bond
05:42and connection that I feel like we've known each other
05:44for a really, really long time.
05:47Yeah.
05:48I'm gonna be good.
05:50You gonna leave that?
05:51Mm-hmm.
05:52Of course.
05:53I don't even know how to read you right now,
05:55because you're...
05:56It's really a shake-up.
05:58Yeah.
05:59I didn't really say much,
06:00because I didn't want to keep crying.
06:03Those feelings kind of crept up out of nowhere.
06:06Like, I didn't know that they were there.
06:08I don't cry for anybody.
06:10Ladies, you can come with me.
06:12Okay.
06:13No.
06:13Time to go.
06:14I wanna go.
06:15I know, you guys. I know.
06:16Bye, Drew.
06:17Bye, guys.
06:18Too long.
06:19Good luck.
06:20It was difficult saying goodbye to Sophia today.
06:22Goodbyes are always sad,
06:24but I try to tell myself that it's not goodbye,
06:26that we're gonna continue either as friends or as lovers.
06:29We're gonna continue the relationship we've...
06:31we've started here.
06:32Come on.
06:34I'll see you, ladies.
06:35All right.
06:36Yeah, let's go.
06:37There's a fire in my bones telling me I've been right.
06:40Aw.
06:41You make me cry.
06:42It gets brighter.
06:43Tons of emotions right now.
06:45Did not expect to be saying goodbye so soon.
06:48You know, if he does end up choosing her,
06:50I will be heartbroken.
06:52So I'm pushing on, pushing on.
07:00You keep staying strong.
07:03You keep rushing through.
07:07You can rest your world.
07:09Everybody had a good time?
07:10Yeah.
07:11Okay.
07:12What's up?
07:13Wait, what y'all do?
07:14We went, um, on a sailboat.
07:17Aw.
07:17Yeah, that was my first time.
07:19So I was like...
07:19Well, well, well.
07:21Hey, guys.
07:21Hello.
07:23Missed you guys.
07:24How y'all doing?
07:26Hey, what's going on?
07:27Come sit next to me.
07:28Come join you guys.
07:29We were just talking about our dates.
07:31They were just telling us, uh, what they did on theirs.
07:33Yeah.
07:34Saw another sea turtle.
07:35Yeah.
07:36Yeah, he's cute.
07:37What's up?
07:38What's up?
07:39Hi, guys.
07:40What's going on?
07:41I missed you guys.
07:43Tell us about your date.
07:44Yeah.
07:45We went on a helicopter ride.
07:46Yeah, helicopter ride.
07:47Oh, my gosh.
07:48So cool.
07:49We all did hella different shit.
07:51We're all over the place.
07:52Diverse pack.
07:53Yeah.
07:54I feel so blessed that Chelsea chose me for this last date.
07:57I enjoyed being with her on that intimate level.
08:00I don't want to compare myself to Tom.
08:03However, I think I showed Chelsea what else is out there.
08:09Hi, everybody.
08:09How are you?
08:10Hi.
08:12How are your dates?
08:14It was a blast, man.
08:15Good times.
08:15So much fun.
08:16I can sense the vibe.
08:18I'm so glad you guys got to spend some quality time together.
08:20But, unfortunately, I'm dropping by with some difficult news.
08:25Time to say goodbye.
08:29No!
08:30I feel like who's gonna help me when I feel like I need to help processing my emotions.
08:34But now I really do have to spend time thinking about what I want to say at this last bonfire.
08:40It's just...
08:42I'm almost speechless right now.
08:44Like, I don't know...
08:44I don't know what I want to say.
08:46I'm gonna miss you, too, but...
08:48I'll see you soon.
08:49It's not goodbye.
08:49I'll see you soon.
08:50No doubt.
08:51Okay.
08:52No matter what happens, you'll always be a really important person in my life,
08:56because you've helped me with so much.
08:57When I came here, I had questions, but they all were surrounding my relationship.
09:02Like, none of them were never specific towards me as an individual.
09:04And I feel like as our dates went on, I had more questions about myself, and you helped me answer
09:10those.
09:10So, over the span of the last few days, I've just been, like, so, so, so happy.
09:15Because I'm finally just, like, letting you guys in.
09:18And you especially.
09:18I see it in you.
09:19You know, it seems like every day you're better and better, and that's what it's all about.
09:23And, seriously, the difference between Erica day one and Erica now is drastic.
09:29Drastic.
09:31I'm so happy that you constantly broke down my walls and didn't give up on me when I was pushing
09:40you away.
09:41And I'm so happy that I got to know you.
09:43Definitely gonna miss that, you know, little giggly face.
09:48Oh, thanks.
09:50I'm really happy with the last night that I spent with Juwan because he continued to push me.
09:57And I think that this bonfire is going to be the most important and crucial point in Corey and my
10:05relationship.
10:06I can't thank you enough for everything, for helping me out, because you helped me out big time.
10:12And I just appreciate you so much.
10:15So, you definitely impacted my life, and I want you to know that.
10:19I never would have expected to learn as much as I have about myself.
10:25And I'm so ready to see Julian, and we can make a decision that's best for ourselves individually so that
10:34we can move forward.
10:37Oh, you ready?
10:39I'm ready to take on life.
10:41You know our sorrow.
10:45You lived our pain.
10:49You'll bring us joy again.
10:53I wasn't expecting it to be this hard.
10:58Yeah, me neither.
11:01I just wish that we had more time, honestly.
11:06Yeah, me too.
11:08I'm gonna be strong at Bonfire, okay?
11:11Yeah.
11:13I will be.
11:17I feel like it's hard because I am, like, the only one that made a connection like this, I feel
11:24like.
11:24So, for me, it's like I'm battling, like, this connection with Tom's connection, and it's like, it's just a lot.
11:32It's undeniable that Chelsea and I have a connection.
11:35I think we're both still trying to figure out how deep or how intimate that connection is.
11:42There's more chapters to write, so I'm not sure where we'll end up.
11:49Mark, I love you, man, but...
11:51I know, I know.
11:53All right.
11:54You guys will wait here.
11:55I'll go get him.
11:56Okay.
11:57Oh, man.
11:59All right, gentlemen.
12:01Time to leave the island.
12:02Give me another hug.
12:03I'm out.
12:04I'll see you in L.A.
12:05All right.
12:07I'm actually really sad because I feel like Blake and I are finally at this place where we are really
12:13comfortable and connected, and, like, I wanted to continue that time, and it's cut short.
12:33What are you guys thinking?
12:34I feel like the past couple days I've almost been, like, questioning how I've spent my time here.
12:41This whole experience, I've been taking the blame because I care so much about him, but I forgot that there
12:48were things that he needed to work on.
12:50I've been carrying our relationship for a year and a half now, and it's broken me.
12:57I see you holding back emotion.
13:00You know, it's just, it's tough because a lot of the times I have to take the reins in the
13:06relationship, and sometimes I just want it to be equal, and I don't know.
13:10I came to Temptation Island looking for clarity on my relationship.
13:14I was constantly telling myself that Cory and I were too different to be together.
13:20Erin brings a lot of her past insecurities into our relationship.
13:23For so long, I kind of played second fiddle.
13:26This is, like, the third bonfire in a row where I've seen clips of, like, how I've made him feel
13:32about himself, and, like, that breaks my heart.
13:35Being here, I realized that he wasn't the only one who needed to work on things.
13:40There were also so many things that I needed to work on.
13:43How I felt when I first got here is different than how I feel now, and I didn't know that
13:48was gonna happen.
13:49But I started blaming myself for all the things that have affected our relationship.
13:53I haven't given him a chance to actually be a part of our relationship.
13:59And I forgot about the things that he did that we came here to work on.
14:04If we go to the bonfire in the same place that we started off at, then we're not gonna leave
14:10together.
14:11There ain't no sunshine like they said
14:16Every time she's gone away
14:18I think I wanna hold you
14:22You know, we always thought of what we wanted, but, you know, it's different.
14:25You know, now it's like, I know, and I just, you know, I hope that she feels the same way.
14:30I'm nervous. I'm anxious. Like, I don't know what her journey was.
14:33And, you know, for me, you know, I'm gonna have to put a lot of things on the table and
14:39say this is what I expect now.
14:41Like, we can't go back to what we were.
14:43I came to Temptation Island to prove to Aaron that I could get outside my comfort zone.
14:48I am nervous.
14:50This is crazy. I can't believe we're doing something like this.
14:53I know.
14:53I was kind of unsure of myself, really just not knowing who I was.
14:57Griff? Absolutely.
14:58You wanna go on a date with me?
15:00The first date selection was hard on me. I saw Aaron pick Griffin.
15:03I was fearful I was gonna lose her.
15:05So the only way forward was to grow and to rediscover myself.
15:10Everybody's gonna see you.
15:11How you doing? Hey.
15:12We're looking at what you said to me.
15:14Coming here, put everything in perspective.
15:17It feels like, you know, sometimes she can bring me down.
15:20I mean, I think there was a lot in our relationship that I think Aaron kind of took advantage of
15:25me in some ways.
15:26It made me realize we both needed to grow and we both need to grow as individuals.
15:30There's gonna be hope for our relationship in the future.
15:32You ready? One, two, three.
15:34Ah!
15:35And dating Amanda has kind of made me realize that, you know, there's other people in the world that I
15:40could be emotionally connected to.
15:41Giving you what you need is what made me happy.
15:46And I just want you to know that I do care for you and like you a lot.
15:51If there wasn't an Aaron in my life, I would be open to that possibility of dating Amanda.
15:56And I recognize that me and Aaron might not leave the island together.
16:00Going into the final bonfire, I gotta lay it all out there.
16:02And figure out if we're gonna make it work or not.
16:11I've been, like, thinking about the final bonfire and what conversation I would have with Kendall.
16:17And I honestly don't even, I don't even know where I want to start.
16:20Cause, like, I have a track record of getting myself into relationships like this and staying.
16:26If I don't break the cycle right now, when am I ever gonna break it?
16:30Man, this is gorgeous. I feel the whole essence of where I'm at right now and I'm really feeling this.
16:37Yeah. And I hope you're feeling this too.
16:39When I first got here, I was unwilling to allow myself to open up and be vulnerable and feel anything
16:45towards the guys in the house.
16:46Because I didn't want to disrespect my relationship.
16:51After seeing the bonfire clips, I felt like I was set free.
16:55That was what I needed to see to give myself permission to really just let myself loose and fully submerge
17:00myself into what this experience brings.
17:03Well, I want to have a family in the future, you know?
17:06See, it's funny. I'm so close with my family, too.
17:08Really? Yeah.
17:09Kendall convinced me that my family was just taking too much of my time and I wasn't working on myself,
17:13so...
17:14You can't go back to that.
17:15The last thing I want to see is you fall back into that trap.
17:20Being with Jessie made me realize that I really do owe it to myself to be with a man who
17:25treats me the way that I deserve to be treated.
17:27I'm starting to really care about you. Like, I love being around you because a lot of the qualities you
17:31have are a lot of the qualities that I absolutely love.
17:34You're made of it all. It's my chance to fall.
17:44My journey here was so tough, but every moment on this island has led up to this final bonfire for
17:53me.
17:53And I'm in control now and I will make sure that I make that known.
17:56Cause I can't take the weight of it all on me.
18:03It's crazy how much has changed from when we first got here to now.
18:06Oh, yeah. With me and Alexis shared here.
18:09Um, even just with all the dates. Like, some of the things I did in that situation, I didn't even
18:12do in my own relationship.
18:13I'm like, like, little affectionate things to let her know, like, I'm thinking about her.
18:17Complimenting her consistently. Like, I had an issue with even complimenting Erica sometimes.
18:21And that's why I even questioned. Like, dang, why is this so easy with somebody else?
18:24And I barely even know this girl. You know what I'm saying?
18:27Yeah.
18:28Coming into this, I decided to take full advantage of what this island experience had to offer.
18:32And just really dive into the single ladies here.
18:35I don't want to feel like I can't do something or that because I did come here without rules.
18:40And I did, you know?
18:41Great. So we're not breaking no rules if anything happens.
18:43No.
18:45I had no idea I would find a connection.
18:47But I think everything happened the way that it was supposed to.
18:50For me, my, uh, talent is, um, making the first move.
18:56I pursued my connection with Alexis and it's taught me that it's okay to be emotionally available,
19:02to be vulnerable at times, and to truly let somebody in.
19:04How do you foresee, like, things in the future if we were to leave the island together?
19:09And then having a threesome definitely showed that I was fully committed to this island experience,
19:13but it wasn't worth all the drama that came after it.
19:17There's another girl to add to the situation.
19:21She's got you feeling some type of way that I'm clearly not making you feel.
19:25I'll wake with your voice in my head.
19:30The energy I felt between me and Alexis, it was real.
19:35But I think not getting a message from Erica was a turning point for me.
19:39I realized that there's changes that I needed to make.
19:44Going into this final bonfire, I really have no idea what to expect.
19:48I hope Erica can truly forgive me for what I've done.
19:51If I could change things, I would.
19:53I can't see you on the other side
20:14Something feels you've been searching for
20:17What you've lost long before you left
20:20It's the last thing you can't forget
20:23I just have such anxiety right now because it's just the unknown that scares me.
20:28I know what I want, but I don't know where his head's at.
20:30So it is scary to be vulnerable.
20:32But I think I've realized that I can fully love someone.
20:36And it's okay to be fully loved back.
20:48Going into the final bonfire, you know, my dream is to leave the island with Aaron.
20:51But we said we were going to grow as individuals so we could make our relationship stronger in the end.
20:56And, you know, that means it is possible that Aaron and I realize that, you know, we're not compatible enough
21:00for each other.
21:01You know, I hate to think the possibility is out there, but, you know, there's always a possibility.
21:12You know, the most important thing I want Aaron to know is I have found my confidence back.
21:19And, you know, I'm not going to be able to put up with some of the things that we have
21:23in the past.
21:24How's it going, Mark?
21:25What's up, Corey?
21:26How you doing?
21:27I'm ready, man. I'm ready.
21:28I can tell.
21:33You feeling good?
21:33I'm feeling good.
21:34I just, I can't wait.
21:37Any nerves?
21:37Oh, the nerves are there, that's for sure.
21:40Okay.
21:41So you and Aaron came to this island to answer the question, are you meant to be together or is
21:49there someone out there better for you?
21:50So are you ready to answer that question for her?
21:54I am, Mark.
21:55Okay.
21:56Let's bring her out.
22:08Hi.
22:20Hi, Aaron.
22:22Hi.
22:22How are you feeling?
22:23Really nervous, anxious.
22:27All right, here's how this works.
22:29I'm going to give each of you a chance to speak while the other listens.
22:33And then after that, when we have gotten to a point where we feel complete, you'll make your decisions about
22:39what you want your future to be.
22:41Corey, I'm going to start with you.
22:42And Aaron, at this point, I just want you to listen.
22:46Okay.
22:48So I feel like over the past year and a half, I've had a walk on eggshells.
22:54I avoided arguments, and I felt unloved and underappreciated at times.
23:03You know, as you know, I was pretty unsure of myself coming here.
23:07I didn't want to come here.
23:08The night after date selection, when I saw that you picked Griffin, I had a breakdown.
23:16I was scared that you were going to fall in love and leave the island with him.
23:23And that just kind of reinforced my lack of confidence.
23:26But afterwards, I picked myself up.
23:29I started breaking through my emotional barriers.
23:32I began a journey of self-discovery.
23:35And I learned to be more compassionate with myself.
23:38I learned to love myself.
23:41And I made a connection on the island.
23:43Her name is Amanda.
23:45She filled my cup up.
23:46She valued me.
23:48She appreciated me.
23:49And now, a little bit more sure of myself.
23:51And I know what I bring to the table.
23:55And we need to stop taking cheap shots.
23:57You need to give me the benefit of the doubt sometimes.
23:59I'm willing to do my part to be a better boyfriend for you.
24:02I just need you to meet me halfway.
24:05And realize that we're all on the same team.
24:07And I need you to be open to changing for the better.
24:13So now, Erin, you've heard what he has to say.
24:16Yeah.
24:16So, Corey, now it's your turn to only listen.
24:19And you can begin whenever you're ready.
24:22I want to start off by saying the clips that I've seen so far,
24:27I can tell that you have gained confidence.
24:30To be honest, the connection that you've had with Amanda,
24:32it annoyed me at first because I was like, dang.
24:35Like, he's comfortable with someone so quickly.
24:37He's opening up to someone so quickly.
24:39That's something we've struggled with.
24:41Another thing, too, is the fact that I felt like for a while,
24:44I was carrying the weight of our relationship, Corey.
24:47I felt like I was always making the hard decisions.
24:51Since being here, though, I was able to kind of look in the mirror
24:55and realize that though I was blaming you for so many things,
25:01there were things that I needed to work on.
25:04I need to stop comparing you to my past relationships
25:07in a sense of he's going to hurt me because they hurt me.
25:11Like, I'm constantly waiting for you to just hurt me,
25:14which isn't fair.
25:15And I didn't realize this until coming here.
25:17I realized that I am suffering so much.
25:21Like, I have so much pain in me.
25:22I have so much hurt in me.
25:24And I'm taking it out on you.
25:25I haven't been vulnerable with you
25:27because there's so many things that you don't know about me.
25:30So instead, I just was letting the hurt
25:33from past relationships affect our current relationship.
25:37And I feel like before coming here, I did treat you badly.
25:41I did take it out on you.
25:42I thought I was perfect, and I put so much pressure on you,
25:45which was not fair.
25:47And I didn't think that I could do any wrong.
25:50And then I stepped foot in this house, and I was like,
25:52no, there's so many things that I have to work on internally.
25:56And I don't want to waste your time anymore.
25:59And I don't want to waste my time, obviously.
26:18My past relationships were toxic, but, like, there was more to that.
26:25Like, things on both ends were, like, physical.
26:34There was a lot more trauma that I experienced.
26:38And now I just have this anger towards people who get close to me
26:44because I feel like it's going to happen again.
26:48And I also feel like with my best friend passing,
26:55like,
27:05I've just been carrying the weight of that around with me.
27:08And I feel like I've never fully expressed any of these things to you
27:13because I just hide it.
27:16And I'm taking it out on you.
27:20It's terrible to hear that.
27:23And to feel that you're carrying that burden.
27:26Let me share the weight.
27:28I'm sorry that I never told you about it
27:30because I feel like now maybe you understand more why
27:33that I'm, like, constantly pushing you away.
27:38Were you nervous to tell me about something?
27:41Like...
27:41I just felt like you never share anything with me.
27:45How can I share something that is so deep?
27:48It's like, what if I tell him all this
27:50and I trust him with this information
27:52and then he leaves me or he hurts me?
27:55I definitely have stuff that I need to continue to work on.
27:59And, again, the way that I've taken out
28:01my hurt and my pain into our relationship,
28:04like, I completely am going to change that.
28:08But at the same time,
28:09I need you to make me feel protected.
28:12I need you to make me feel safe.
28:15I would like to ask
28:16just about your connection that you made
28:19and your 24-hour date.
28:21Okay.
28:22So, um, I had a connection with Amanda in the house.
28:26And she definitely asked the hard questions about us
28:29and why I'm thinking like this
28:30and where did my self-confidence kind of go
28:32and everything.
28:33And our 24-hour date,
28:35she expressed feelings for me.
28:40I respectfully told her that
28:42only one woman has my heart on the island
28:44and that's...that's you.
28:47Were you faithful?
28:49I was faithful.
28:51Juwan was the only person
28:53that I really opened up to.
28:54And what I noticed about myself,
28:56believe it or not,
28:57is that I'm intimidating.
28:59And Juwan told me,
29:00he was like,
29:01I'm the only person who you can't intimidate.
29:03What do you think about other people
29:05saying that she was intimidating?
29:07Do you find that?
29:08You know, I don't see Anna as intimidating.
29:12Why don't I believe you?
29:14I think that when she gets angry at you,
29:16she does intimidate you
29:18and that you just do whatever you can
29:20to make her okay with that.
29:21Yeah.
29:22But my fear,
29:23knowing both of you,
29:24is that when you leave here
29:26and get back to the real world,
29:27you're gonna yell at him
29:28and he's gonna cower.
29:29Yeah.
29:29I'm concerned.
29:31You gotta create a space
29:32where it's okay
29:33to call around on the stuff
29:35that's hurt you.
29:36Say,
29:37yeah,
29:38you do.
29:39Yeah.
29:39Bully and intimidate sometimes.
29:41You're choking back
29:43any word that might upset someone else.
29:48When you're not honest,
29:50you don't have a chance.
29:51I think that the reason
29:52I continue to do it
29:54is because maybe I know
29:56that you're not gonna stand up for yourself.
29:58I want so badly for you
30:00to put me in my place.
30:02Oh, yeah,
30:03I've definitely been walked over.
30:04Yes, you're right.
30:05And I'm not gonna stand for that anymore
30:07because when it happens,
30:08I feel little.
30:09Yeah.
30:09And I'm sick of feeling little.
30:10I'm gonna feel big.
30:12And, you know,
30:13as much as I'm scared of losing you,
30:15you should be as scared as losing me.
30:18Okay.
30:20Well,
30:21now we come to this.
30:23You have three options.
30:25One is that you decide
30:26that this is gonna work
30:28and you decide to leave together.
30:31another option is maybe you have love for one another,
30:37but you need to step back and leave alone.
30:43And a third option that everyone has
30:46is that they could leave the island with someone else.
30:49I'll start with you,
30:50I'll start with you, Erin.
30:51And what do you want to do?
30:54I would like to leave the island with Corey.
31:00Corey, what would you like to do?
31:01I'm leaving the island with my girl.
31:03No.
31:05I love you.
31:06I love you.
31:07You're so corny.
31:10Nice to meet you.
31:12Nice to meet you.
31:13I love you.
31:16I'm happy that you made it to the end of this.
31:18I wish you the best of luck
31:20and you can both leave the island
31:23and start your new life together.
31:27Bye, guys.
31:28Take care, Mark.
31:29Good luck.
31:31I love you.
31:33Love you.
31:42After you.
31:43You know, we're leaving here
31:44knowing the things that we do need to work on
31:46and that we need to continue to work on
31:48and I'm ready to let go of my past
31:50and I'm ready to be emotionally available to Corey.
31:56I wish you knew the emotions that I was feeling.
31:59Oh, my God.
32:00No, you have no idea.
32:01Like, how I was our last dinner,
32:03me crying to you,
32:04was how I was the whole time.
32:06But I got it together at one point
32:08and I realized I needed to focus more on my growth,
32:11not controlling you
32:12when you're in a different house, you know?
32:15Tonight!
32:18Maybe we could touch the sky
32:21We could be satin' life
32:24tonight
32:38It's a little bit crazy
32:42You're suddenly blurry now
32:44I wonder if anything
32:48Was real
32:50I feel very confident
32:53but I also feel nervous
32:54because Kendall is so good with his words
32:57and I don't want to fall into that trap again
32:58Tell me that you're sorry
33:02We'll make up tomorrow
33:06Tell me everything you know I want to hear
33:10My goal is not to come into this bonfire
33:12and just be apologizing
33:13and it's like, no,
33:14we came into this whole experience with no rules
33:16and at the end of the day
33:17I also did have a great connection with Alexis
33:19so I'm going to need to see a lot out of Erica
33:21in order to really feel like
33:23we can make our relationship work at this point
33:26Here we go
33:39You know, I'm going to do my best to make sure I protect myself with an armor
33:41and make sure that I get my point across
33:43but, I mean, I'm, I'm just, I'm still so nervous
33:46I'm trying to be open
33:50but that window is closing
33:55and either way
33:56Erica
33:58You made it
34:01Hi
34:03Still going to hear him out
34:04but I want to make sure that I am able to articulate to him
34:07the way that he's made me feel
34:08and even the progress that I've made here so far
34:14How are you feeling right now?
34:16Um, I'm feeling really nervous
34:17I'm feeling anxious
34:19I'm feeling scared
34:20I feel like every emotion that I felt coming into this
34:23is exactly what I feel right now
34:25but I know that there's so much ahead for me
34:29so even just the thought of that is like
34:30that's what's been getting me through this entire journey
34:33Okay, let's bring him out
34:44What's going on?
34:45How you doing, Kendall?
34:47Welcome
34:50Appreciate it
34:51All right, over there
34:51Okay
34:56What's going on?
34:58We've come to the end here
34:59but here's how this works
35:02I'm going to give each of you a chance to speak to the other
35:04without being interrupted
35:05one will speak
35:06one will listen
35:07and then after that
35:10I'll give you a chance to have a conversation
35:12ask the questions you need to ask
35:13and then after that
35:14I'll ask you what you want to declare for your future
35:16Okay?
35:17All right
35:19Yeah
35:19Okay
35:21I'm going to start with you, Kendall
35:22and Erica
35:23the only thing I'll ask you is just to listen
35:25it'll be hard to do that without interjecting
35:27but you'll have a chance
35:29All right, Kendall
35:29all yours
35:33Well, I know when we first came to this journey
35:35our goal was to live together
35:37and work on ourselves individually
35:40and be able to come together stronger
35:41and one thing I noticed early on was
35:46I had such a hard time opening up emotionally
35:48and I had this blockade around my heart
35:51and it was almost like an armor
35:53that no one could penetrate
35:55and it made it really difficult to love you the right way
35:58but there are so many times where
36:00you would really try to pull more out of me
36:03and more out of me
36:03and I'll consistently fight you
36:04and I wouldn't give you all of me
36:07I made a connection here
36:09Alexis
36:10we went on a bunch of dates
36:12and she would dig deep
36:15and ask me a lot of different questions emotionally
36:17and she even asked me
36:18you know
36:19what would stop you from doing the same thing
36:21to me that you're doing to Erica
36:24emotionally
36:24and that's one thing that literally like hit me in the soul
36:27because it's like
36:29I'm not perfect
36:31nobody's perfect
36:34and I just don't want to make any more excuses
36:36and I just really want to focus on
36:39being a better version of me
36:40and the right man that can
36:42show his emotions and just be free
36:44and not be afraid
36:47and yeah
36:48I got a bunch but
36:49I'll let you go
36:52okay
36:53thanks Kendall
36:54now Erica
36:56I'll turn it over to you
36:57and you get to speak your mind
37:00and Kendall
37:00I'm going to ask that you only listen
37:02yeah
37:03okay
37:03I'm all ears
37:06when we first came here
37:08I thought that
37:09I was coming to
37:11regain my confidence
37:13I thought I was coming here
37:14to prove to you
37:15that I could resist
37:15the ultimate temptation
37:17to
37:18prove to you
37:19that I would try daily
37:20to continue to strive
37:21to be the woman
37:21that you wanted me to be
37:22but
37:23very quickly
37:24I found out that
37:26I was here for different reasons
37:28you've made me feel unworthy
37:31you've made me feel
37:34like I wasn't
37:35worthy of having
37:36unconditional love
37:37or having somebody
37:38treat me the way
37:39that I deserve to be treated
37:40you've made me feel insecure
37:41I lost myself for so long
37:43and I didn't trust myself
37:44and I'm learning
37:44that I do have a gut instinct
37:46that I can trust
37:46I am capable of making
37:47the right decisions
37:48and I do deserve someone
37:50who will love me unconditionally
37:52the Erica that walked
37:53into this journey with you
37:54is not the same Erica right now
37:56I really hope that
37:57everything that you did
37:58over there was worth it
38:01okay
38:03so each of you
38:04have shared
38:04what your journey
38:05has been for you
38:05so I'm going to give you
38:07a moment you guys
38:07to have a conversation
38:10feel free to
38:10ask the questions
38:11you need to ask
38:12right now
38:15well I have a question
38:15for you
38:18what do you feel
38:19like you've worked on
38:21during this
38:22experience truly
38:24um
38:25for me it's just
38:27really putting myself
38:28out there emotionally
38:29and being aware
38:30of where I am
38:31and actually how I'm
38:32feeling
38:32and what I actually want
38:34and what I need to do
38:37in order to make
38:37certain things happen
38:39how do you feel like
38:40sleeping with not only
38:41one person
38:43but two people
38:44helped you open up emotionally
38:55it wasn't like
38:57you waited
38:57and then you made a connection
38:59then it's like
38:59okay let me be physical
39:00with you
39:01it was more of like
39:01I'm about to get in the house
39:03and sleep with
39:04the first thing that I see
39:05walking across the hallway
39:06help me understand
39:07because I literally have spent
39:08so many nights
39:09crying
39:10trying to figure it out
39:11and I cannot understand
39:13how
39:14you would do that
39:15it was poor decision making
39:18on my behalf
39:19and
39:20it was too early
39:21I talked about it
39:22time and time again
39:22that was not expected
39:24you talked about it
39:24time and time again
39:24but you continued to do it
39:25time and time again
39:27you disrespected
39:28not only yourself
39:29but me
39:30and the relationship
39:31that we have
39:32I did
39:40I'm almost lost
39:41at this point
39:42because you're right
39:43I mean it is a lot more
39:45than just
39:45it was just a poor decision
39:46like that's not even
39:47how I operate
39:47that's not even how
39:50I want to operate
39:50any type of relationship
39:53and for me
39:55I think I lost a piece
39:56of myself in the house
39:57early on
39:57and I did get engaged
39:59in things that I shouldn't have
40:01and
40:04there's so many days
40:04where I just stayed up
40:05thinking I couldn't even
40:06go to sleep
40:07because
40:08I was just wondering
40:09how you would be feeling
40:10and I was wondering
40:11how I would even be able
40:12to look you in the eye
40:12and explain this
40:13because I already knew
40:13this moment would happen
40:14and it's like
40:15I can't even just think
40:16of a good response
40:17or think of an excuse
40:19because there's
40:19there's really no legitimate
40:20reason for those actions
40:22I tried to sit in the house
40:24and not talk to anybody
40:25I tried to be rude
40:26I tried to do all these things
40:27but the second I decided
40:28to open up
40:28so did you resist temptation?
40:31so you didn't do anything
40:35well
40:37I mean on my final date
40:38I kissed my date
40:41and that was that
40:44so I mean
40:46you can't really sit here
40:47and ask me that question
40:48I mean I can ask
40:49whatever you want
40:50okay well yeah
40:51I kissed my date
40:52because I felt like it
40:53and it was
40:53because it was
40:55something that made me happy
40:56okay I mean
40:57if that makes you happy
40:58if that's what you want
40:59to spiritually pour into you
41:00and all that
41:01we have these conversations
41:02it's like
41:03we talk about our future
41:04all the time
41:05and what it takes
