00:10i'm mark walberg and this is temptation island the reunion this season four couples put their
00:17lives on hold and set off for the shores of temptation island tonight we'll look
00:21back on a season like no other this is temptation island the reunion
00:54and now i'd like to welcome the couples of temptation island season three
00:59chelsea and thomas aaron and corey and kendall and erica now unfortunately kristin and julian
01:07were not able to make it here in person but don't worry they still found a way to make their
01:12presence
01:12felt what's up mark welcome back everybody it's good to see you all how are you feeling how is
01:17everybody good yeah okay okay we'll get into it and see who's actually good and who isn't at some
01:25point also joining us tonight what would this party be without some singles welcome you guys it's good
01:30to see you all you look fantastic thank you how are you guys feeling great okay many of the couples
01:37came
01:37to the island with a lot of do's and don'ts to be followed and boxes to be checked but not
01:43kendall
01:43and erica they came with no rules let's take a look what are your rules no rules no rules no
01:52rules
01:53whose idea was it to have no rules i think i might have pressed it yeah he brought it up
01:58first
01:58and i mean i'll take that i'll take accountability for that what are the rules that you and your
02:04girlfriends establish i didn't set rules personally so it's like free right hey real talk
02:11going into this experience me and erica set no rules i'm here with no rules we established no
02:18rules came with no rules no rules because i did come here without rules and i didn't you know so
02:23we're not breaking no rules if anything happens i know okay a little flashback um mash-up of your
02:31declaration of no rules there kendall um why was the no rules part of this experience so important
02:37to you it wasn't so important i just felt like that's the best way to do it regardless of what
02:42it
02:42may seem even if you set rules you still don't know how the experience will go so no rules is
02:46just an
02:47easier way to to set things up erica what was your expectation what did no rules mean to you or
02:53at least
02:53what did you think that was um i feel like when you're in a relationship even if you go into
02:57this
02:58experience and say no rules i shouldn't have to tell my partner hey don't cheat on me or hey don't
03:03disrespect me that's just something that sort of comes with that and that's what i expected from him
03:08and unfortunately he didn't pull through with that kendall do you think that's unfair is that what
03:14happened did you get a hall pass or i mean initially going into it that's wasn't the goal it wasn't
03:21to
03:21just go on the island and just do whatever i wanted to but i could have just thought about erica's
03:26feelings more um been at a different place and i feel like going into the experience we were in a
03:32broken place and the place that i was at is not the same place that i'm at right now so
03:38um it's just
03:40different looking back at everything now i think that's the point i was getting at with the no rules
03:43thing that if it's about mutual respect and love and you're working for something you get to explore
03:48whatever you feel you need to explore right but it's the the touch point of the other person and and
03:54that right well as we all know the singles on temptation island are carefully chosen because
04:00they all possess certain qualities our couples say they're looking for in their partner and that
04:06definitely seemed to be the case with kendall and alexis alexis why don't you come on over and
04:11join the conversation while we take a look hey guys i'm alexis i'm 24 and i'm from los angeles
04:19hmm let's see you are going to be seeing me at the bonfire and some clips with your man
04:27she's not talking to me good job don't drop a dime for me go go okay oh my god
04:40i'm definitely falling for alexis it was never planned i'm literally going with the flow on the
04:45island all right i'm done how do you foresee like things in the future if we were to leave the
04:55island
04:55together i see us staying together yeah i mean only if that's what you want but um maybe it's crazy
05:07to fall so soon give it all to you
05:14erica now that you know a lot more and you've seen a lot more how do you feel based off
05:19of the
05:19expectations that he holds for me i don't see that in this person so it was a little confusing you
05:25know
05:25you want someone that brings value you want someone who's a go-getter and those aren't shown
05:28to me i'm not saying that that's not the type of person she is that's not what i'm seeing i
05:32mean
05:33from what i did i was a go-getter i did go get the man i wanted well you being
05:38a go-getter consists of
05:39other things aside from you going to get somebody unfortunately you didn't get to see that like
05:43i'm completely entitled to my own opinion okay i mean again i just i don't know her i don't know
05:48her
05:48morals i don't know her values um i know typically if someone doesn't respect themselves i can't
05:52expect them to respect me i don't know if that's the case with her i mean just because i had
05:58sex
05:58doesn't mean i don't respect myself but i would say to erica like i feel bad that you've had to
06:03deal with a man like kendall honestly like you deserve the best what makes you say that i thought
06:10everything was very genuine and you know i felt played at the end there what are you feeling played
06:18about every choice you made on the island like you started bringing someone else into what we were
06:25building and you kept going off of that and that's not something like i was into and so i just
06:32don't think that's right i didn't keep on bringing somebody in and doing all that i didn't try to play
06:37anybody that's not the goal that's not who i am that's not what i stand for that's just not how
06:41i do people because i value people oh i wouldn't have said that i mean i value people all the
06:46time
06:46okay well let's let's stop talking about infidelity on my behalf because she had infidelity on her
06:50side too so i'm laying all laying all the chips out okay blame out there bro blame out there all
06:56right alexis is only a piece of this what turns out to be a three-piece puzzle nicole why don't
07:01you
07:01come and join us and when i say join us just like on the couch for conversation that's it don't
07:06tempt
07:06me for with a good time okay thank you and let's take a look hi i'm nicole i'm a 23
07:13year old jersey girl
07:14i'm about to steal your man alexis pulled me to the side and asked if i wanted to spend the
07:28night
07:28and i said sure thing what we just didn't invite her 24 7 no i'm good with what i got
07:33like here and
07:35there yeah sure but every day of the day no no i have a great connection with alexis but i
07:40feel like
07:41i'm developing a small connection with nicole i mean for me at this point i would be open to
07:46leaving with somebody else i mean let's just throw nicole in the mix
07:58well welcome nicole hello mark it's clear that you had feelings at some point and pretty quickly for
08:04both kendall and alexis was one stronger than the other um at first i think it was definitely the
08:11same i liked both of them i had a little crush on both of them i felt like i was
08:15in high school again
08:15as conversations grew alexis and i talked a lot and she respects what i do with my life but that's
08:21not
08:22what she does in her life so um following that kendall and i had great conversations uh we learned a
08:27little too late that we're very similar so i think our connection started growing towards the end
08:32and kind of sucks because a lot of things could have changed you made it very clear that you were
08:38having crushes on both of them that you were having feelings and so um kendall was there a conversation
08:44where you went to alexis and said i may be interested in nicole or were you just telling nicole one
08:51thing
08:51that she wanted to hear and alexis what she wanted to hear um i felt like we had pretty clear
08:56communication no don't even say that i mean the thing with nicole really never really turned into
09:02anything we had conversations yeah it was it was definitely turning into something so for me
09:07towards yeah we're having conversations though and i think you up in your journey here i just think
09:17you went into it with not a fresh open mind you went into it with the same mind that you
09:23had
09:24off the rip there was bad decision made um i shouldn't have moved so quick with alexis
09:30things shouldn't have moved how they were but the next woman i'm with i'm going to appreciate them
09:34and love them like never before so it's okay it's i'm not afraid to make mistakes i'm not afraid to
09:39take an l because i'm still going to win at the end of the day so okay erica let's not
09:45forget that
09:45you're here and affected by all of this by the time you saw the bonfire clip with nicole you seem
09:50numb
09:51and you seem shut down did the threesome make the situation worse for you i mean at that point it
09:56was like this is the norm like can i watch you have a conversation with someone and not always like
10:00you know in bed with other people um so it was like the norm so watching was just kind of
10:06like
10:07it is it is what it is at this point he keeps doing the same thing over and over so
10:11it's like it's
10:12no longer a mistake like now you're intentionally making the decision to continue to do this and going
10:17to the island i was able to see the actions of the things that he needs to work on as
10:22a man internally
10:23instead of you know projecting those things to me all the time because it's like i want my man to
10:28support me i don't want him to say you know well this is going wrong you're not doing this right
10:33this
10:33is what i want because then i feel like this big i have a bunch of issues too i'm not
10:37perfect
10:38like it's okay not to be perfect but what sucks is you literally had to go through this experience
10:43on other people for you to realize i have stuff going on with myself all right we have to take
10:49a quick break but we'll be right back with more temptation island the reunion
11:01you're not gonna do me
11:05you'll never forget me
11:07beautiful you're disaffected
11:08i've heard what i said yeah huh what you saw with what me being a second option
11:14what's the next thing i'm talking about
11:21welcome back to temptation island the reunion for kendall no rules on the island led to an
11:27entanglement with both alexis and nicole now for erica it led to jesse jesse why don't you come
11:34join us as we take a look at your journey with erica because i don't know if i've actually voiced
11:40this to you but like i'm starting to really care about you like i love being around you if something
11:45feels right in the moment like just go for it you feel me yeah i don't know this makes me
11:50nervous
11:50well nerves can be a good thing right this is me finally allowing myself to really just open up
11:57and be emotionally and physically available to him because he has proven himself i had a lot of fun
12:03last night me too especially our dinner was so cute yeah kendall what was it like for you
12:10watching erica's final date on the island with jesse i mean i was already aware of it so i mean
12:15it is what it is that's a phrase that uh i feel like is a placeholder it is what it
12:21is i mean there's
12:22nothing i can do about it i'm not asking what to do about i'm asking what you felt about i
12:26don't feel
12:26nothing i just don't think that's truthful like you got to feel something right i don't feel nothing
12:31about it all right i mean it's old it's old news you're old news too so so there's absolutely no
12:36way if
12:36you truly do love me and care for me that you don't feel something about that like you're not
12:42upset you're not anything about listen about somebody else coming and giving me these things
12:50that i've been begging for it's just sort of like i don't care i don't care i don't care maybe
12:55that
12:55should have been my thing when you hooked up with her yeah hooked up with somebody else but it wasn't
13:01because i cared about you there were literally nights where i could not go to sleep because every time i
13:05closed my eyes i see you in bed with her for you to sit here and say that you see
13:11those things and
13:12you feel nothing like i make it make sense i don't understand how that works all right so am
13:19i supposed to be upset about something that's past tense or something that's old to me that doesn't
13:23make sense okay erin and chelsea you had to sit and be with erica when she's going through this
13:30are you chomping at the bit to say something or not i just feel like we want to support her
13:35she's
13:35our best friend because we will be there for her but she does deserve better so what does better
13:40mean so what is better let's let's better than you is what she's saying 100 jesse you told erica
13:45she should leave kendall yeah straight up now that you've seen even more of his experience on the island
13:49do you still feel that way i feel stronger about my opinion on that now than ever before no doubt
13:57and he's entitled to his opinion i mean this is capping it's like someone's emotionally distraught
14:01they're hurt they it's like if you go to the grocery store and you're hungry it's like you're gonna
14:05eat peas if you don't like peas i don't understand what you're trying to say i'm just saying that's
14:09just what it was if somebody's hurt and broken they're just gonna go for anything and open up to
14:14whatever so are you saying like erica's hurt and broken i took advantage of that you that's exactly
14:19what you did okay let me give you a quick example so it's it's okay you don't you don't have
14:22to defend
14:23him like let me let me just jump in give like a quick example bro like i want to explain
14:27to you
14:28how that is literally the opposite of the case okay so erica sees this terrible bonfire of you
14:33sleeping with alexis right what do i do do i take advantage of this situation no i explained to her
14:38you need to deal with your own thing erica needs to elevate herself deal with her own issues
14:43because i'm not going to allow her to use my attention as a band-aid because i want her to
14:48deal
14:48with her own thing bro yeah i respect you and whatever you do like i'm not passing judgment i mean
14:53a little bit but like bro i mean you can do what you got to do i mean at the
14:56end of the day you're
14:57not a place to be able to judge you can't dude i can judge whatever i want like i said
15:01you're not
15:01a place to be anybody in that house he respected me the most he didn't even disrespect you he literally
15:07said i do not know him i'm not going to pass judgment on him okay good if that's what you're
15:12saying
15:13so be it i rest my case you rest your case or are you your case is proven incorrect i
15:21mean i rest my
15:21case if that's what she's saying i agree with what she's saying now oh great okay so we're on the
15:26same page i'll just make sure yeah no i mean it is what it is i have something i'd like
15:31to say
15:32i'm hurt for you and i'm wondering what wound you have that has you being able to compartmentalize
15:39at this point and something has hurt you so greatly that it feels like you can't access that soft
15:45emotional part or you have decided not to because you've got some pain
15:56yep i sure do kendall i'm trying to figure you out man yeah and i've got even with all this
16:03shit that i'd like to judge you i have compassion for you yeah um i've just been in so many
16:12situations
16:13where every time i am putting out i'm giving a hundred percent it always falls or always fails and
16:25the other person lets me down so i don't just give the keys to my heart freely so
16:30when there because somebody had him and crushed it yeah so it's like i don't i don't want to be
16:35at
16:35a place to where i'm there again here's the thing kendall i appreciate you saying it and that may be
16:42the
16:42first step to finding the guy you probably really are and enough with that i'm not i'm off you i'm
16:48off
16:49you on that okay so after kendall and erica broke up at the bonfire alexis what was it like hearing
16:56kendall wanting to leave with you you know i should have asked if he initiated it like to leave the
17:02island with me first or was it her and you know i feel like a fool for not asking because
17:06if i would
17:07have heard that first then i wouldn't have left with him you know i felt played like i knew i
17:12was
17:13kendall where do things stand with you and alexis right now
17:19i mean we don't really speak so i guess we cool but i guess we're not cool i don't know
17:24not speaking doesn't feel cool to me but yeah alexis maybe you can answer i hung out with him once
17:30once we got back and you know i basically ghosted him afterwards i just i wasn't okay with how i
17:38felt
17:38on the island you know are you sorry that it ended so soon for you guys i'm upset that it
17:45didn't end
17:45sooner honestly erica you made the difficult decision to leave alone did you have any doubts as
17:52you were leaving the island no in that moment it was this is when i'm going to put my foot
17:59down and
17:59say not even just from this relationship but every toxic relationship i've been in i'm putting my foot
18:03down and it's not going to happen again are you all together no did you revert back to the old
18:08erica at
18:09all no like i felt like i rediscovered myself when i had lost myself so many times in multiple
18:14relationships but now i'm more confident and more understanding of the things that i deserve
18:18and the things that i am willing to and not willing to tolerate well i think sometimes knowing what
18:24doesn't work for you is what opens up the door for what will work for you i hope you both
18:29find what
18:30you're looking for oh yeah okay uh one of our other couples came to the island looking for swagger
18:35well we'll see if they found it after the break so don't go anywhere we'll be right back
18:53welcome back to temptation island the reunion so they both came to the island with goals her goal
19:00was to figure out if he could be the alpha male she desired and his goal was to see if
19:06she'd be scared to
19:07lose him but in the end i'm not sure there was a clear-cut winner let's take a look i
19:13see you
19:14holding back emotion you know it's just i it's tough because i do feel like i have to kind of
19:22take
19:22the reins in the relationship and sometimes i just want you know i want it to be equal but like
19:27you
19:28know maybe i'm being unfair i was wondering if you wanted to go on a date with me oh absolutely
19:33yeah
19:34without question there's no one else i would ever want to experience this stuff with because like i
19:39feel like when you get to spend that time with somebody who you adore as much as i do you
19:44then i'm just winning all around aaron i know that you developed feelings for me and i know that's
19:51what you were retreating from and before we leave this island i just want to hear from you that that's
19:56the case and that i'm not crazy i am here to focus on myself and corey who i love and
20:03what i need to do
20:05is worry about me instead of putting people first
20:11erin and corey you both left the island sure that this thing was going to work out are you guys
20:18still
20:18as confident as you were then no they're not been a little complicated okay let's get to the bottom of
20:25that erin you came to the island hoping that corey could level up as a man and a partner at
20:30the level
20:30that you needed him to was that still the goal by the time you left the island yes the alpha
20:34thing is
20:35it stands true but there was more to it you know being honest communication being vulnerable showing
20:42emotion shaq you really seemed to fall hard and fast and made no bones about it when you fell for
20:47erin honestly like coming to the island as a single you and you knew you only had four girls that
20:52were
20:52going to be there i had no clue or no expectation that i was going to run into somebody who
20:56just
20:56checked all my boxes off so when somebody did it was just like almost an overwhelming feeling
21:02and i went there to try to be more open and more vulnerable so like i just put it all
21:06out there as
21:07you can see what went into your decision to send him home um i mean to be completely honest i
21:13sent him
21:13home because i felt a connection but i was so worried about protecting my relationship with corey
21:17it's weird to me to hear that erin sent shaq home because she felt like she wanted to protect me
21:23and
21:24maybe shaq could have you know opened a box that i wasn't able to open up in your head and
21:28say hey
21:29you know bring some more perspective into our relationship no i completely agree and that's why
21:34looking back i wish that i wouldn't have sent him home do you regret sending him home i do 100
21:38i wish
21:39i got to know him better but i was fighting demons like i'm still fighting them and i'm sorry it's
21:46nice to
21:47hear you say it because it's been driving me crazy since i left the island but like i knew it
21:51i saw
21:52the demons like you were fighting every single day you know like we would take like five steps forward
21:56and then you know you'd come back from a bonfire and be like 10 steps back run away it was
22:00hard
22:01because you harped on so much that you needed to change in yourself but i think you were so focused
22:05on changing yourself rather than looking at the fact like maybe i'm just not with the right person
22:09i just think you needed to change your environment i mean i disagree with shaq you know i actually kind
22:16see a lot of similarities between me and you so to see that we're not compatible you know i just
22:20don't really understand it you're blaming where you're at mentally i saw it all getting thrown on
22:26her that's not true at all well like it was like oh she's she dated this person in the past
22:31like she
22:32makes me feel like i'm not good enough or yada yada yada instead of like talking about why you
22:36personally don't feel good enough it was like her fault no and i i discovered that that's my own
22:41self-confidence issues that's my own insecurities i think a lot of people would agree with shaq to
22:47be honest sorry aaron let me tell you something it's possible you did hold yourself back but corey
22:54went a bit further so amanda why don't you come and join us and we'll take a look i think
23:00aaron kind
23:00of took advantage of me some ways i was kind of a little bit of her punching bag i took
23:05advantage of you
23:06like i want to talk about that he takes a lot of blame for things that aren't necessarily his fault
23:12with you it's just so easy to talk to you and so easy to kind of like get to know
23:16you and just
23:16kind of be myself you keep on being yourself because i like you you know i need someone that's
23:22at the end of the day scared to lose me amanda welcome thank you corey anything that you
23:29have thought gosh i wish i had a chance to say um i actually do want to apologize to amanda
23:34um
23:35you know we we definitely had a good friendship on the island and you know we kind of joked and
23:40said hey you better not ghost me that's completely what i did i was just i think more offended and
23:45this is probably more talking to you than anything i spent a lot of my effort and my emotions opening
23:50up to you and vice versa like getting him to pull him like yeah corey say it with your chest
23:55you're
23:55handsome you're strong come on stop being a little bitch say it like sorry but you know it's like i
24:02would have respected if he could have gone off the island said amanda was a huge part of my experience
24:07i think that if you and her sat down woman to woman or even had a phone call i just
24:12feel like y'all
24:13we all of us i don't know could have been mountains further than we are now and i completely agree
24:18with
24:18that and amanda that is the conversation that i've had with corey i so badly wanted him to tell me
24:25from a to z about his experience on the island like i did i told him about shack and i
24:29begged
24:30and i mean begged to get it reciprocated because i wouldn't care if you guys had a conversation you
24:37were a huge part of his life i made it so clear that i respect you and i'm sorry it
24:42didn't happen
24:43so you both had quite the journey on the island and ultimately that journey came down to a final
24:50decision we'll talk about it when we come back so don't go anywhere this is temptation island the
24:55reunion
25:08welcome back to temptation island the reunion corey and aaron you both had quite the journey on the
25:15island and ultimately you both left the island with a promise to one another and a final concern
25:21for me i mean i made no bones about it yeah how has it been with the two of you
25:25since you left the
25:26island it's been exactly what you said it would be you were scared that we would fall back into the
25:31same pattern and i'm not going to lie i agree with that you you said you were going to be
25:37open and
25:37honest here so i'm expecting that because i don't want to keep looking silly no and you know and i
25:42understand that and i did promise you that i was going to get a job and i was going to
25:45go back to
25:46school and but not only that because those are like materialistic things corey you you promised me
25:51that you would communicate with me you would be honest what are you not honest about corey so
25:55i lied to aaron about my final overnight with amanda when i asked him every single day as a
26:02psycho girlfriend i guess did something happen did something happen did something happen no no no
26:07do you and amanda talk no no no then the day before i'm stepping on the stage he's sending me
26:11screenshots between them okay we did have a conversation uh we did do this now we did this
26:16now i'm hearing they hooked up now i'm hearing this i'm getting heated and i'm sorry i i really
26:20am sorry but the that's not the only thing that he's lied about aaron i made a mistake you're right
26:26i should have told you but this reaction you're having right now is the exact reason why i didn't
26:31feel comfortable telling you i thought you worked on being a man on the island dude man up amanda you
26:37wanted to jump in here and say something you know we never hooked up at the overnight date i'm gonna
26:41make that very very clear what's your definition of hookup though there was no kiss okay it was time
26:47to go to bed and there was literally one bed in the room and mine was down the hall through
26:50the corridor
26:51and it was literally i think a very mutual you can get in bed you can sleep in the bed
26:57with me but
26:57there was no anything beyond that wait a sec but i am confused because you told shack you guys did
27:03hook
27:03up no i didn't shack please share did i say we hooked up there were messages no no no did
27:08i say that
27:08cory and i hooked up answer that yes or no i'm asking you a question yes or no yes bro
27:14because if
27:15you literally this was right after you literally said this is right after you literally said haha like
27:20cory's not as innocent as he's seen shaki you told me you said they didn't have sex but dot dot
27:25dot we
27:26did hook okay is that not what you said no i would love oh my god girl and this is
27:31four days before i
27:32stopped on this stage i'm hearing this and i love this so much i'll be honest with you i'm doing
27:37the best i can to figure out what i think we can all agree is a very confusing situation
27:41my question is are you guys going to stay together is this going to work out
27:46i definitely want that i definitely want to learn and grow with aaron and i just can't give up on
27:52our

28:06to be happy
28:07okay and i want that for you too well listen here's what i have to say to you you're trying
28:13to make him
28:14into something that he obviously isn't cory you're not stepping up for your own joy and what happens is
28:20she ends up coming off like a bully because you're laying over like a little puppy yeah and it's
28:25not the best version of you right yeah and it brings out not the best version of you and that's
28:31called incompatibility and that's all i got to say and i hope that all of you left here with something
28:38that was of value because a lot of this is a little messy i want to thank you for being
28:43here and also
28:44thank you shaq and amanda for joining us as well when we come back we'll get into it with chelsea
28:49and tom so stick around you're a piece of
28:55shit bro i don't know i'm not the type of person that yells loud like you're trying to literally
29:01pretend like he didn't say that i didn't i never once said cory and i hooked up because it's a
29:05damn
29:05lie because he called me and that was before you said he called me you started yelling at me bro
29:14you literally started yelling at me like this is crazy bro you're out of your mind
29:28hi you guys hello a little bit the most genuine person on this whole show but yeah i have a
29:39reason
29:39to make that out this was your one opportunity to prove to me to prove to me that you wanted
29:44to
29:44fight for me and you let me down for the last time no i did not don't say no you
29:48didn't because we
29:49all just witnessed what happened you let me fall on the sword for the last time i did not aaron
29:54well i guess this is a gang up on kendra today all right fight all around we're set to roll
30:01welcome back to temptation island the reunion no matter how perfect your relationship may seem
30:07your partner will always do something that drives you crazy maybe they take six hours to get ready
30:13or maybe they constantly eat off your plate or maybe they flirt too much with other people
30:20speaking of that chelsea and tom welcome hi sophia hello hey more glad to see you guys again
30:27i think we all know where this is headed don't we let's take a look
30:30tom stop stop looking at me or what or what or what i'm teasing but seriously or what
30:41come on tom exfoliate you're enjoying this
30:49what does that say tom tom that is so funny you're bad you are bad
31:06chelsea tom said he wanted to find a way to be his 40 self while still being faithful what exactly
31:13crossed
31:13the line for you the physicality of his dates really bothered me i said going into it that i
31:20would be okay with like someone massaging him and i never really thought like he would be someone
31:25that was actually making the move like you can control those actions so that's when i was like i
31:31think i need to focus on myself sophia was what you and tom did in your mind cheating did it
31:37cross the
31:37line we did kiss you know but i feel like up until that he kept his word and i don't
31:43think crossed any
31:44lines to be honest i don't think that it was respectful even though i was seeing it i was going
31:48through my own journey it was hurting me i still wasn't like angry at him i kind of was like
31:54this
31:55whatever's gonna happen is gonna happen and i need to stop trying to control it tom what was your
32:00connection with sophia it's a sensitive subject obviously because there's a lot of you know we did
32:05kiss and so it's not as it's not cut and dry but i let her know that i do value
32:10sophia's friendship
32:12chelsea seeing tom make a connection with sophia seemed to give you permission to explore your feelings
32:17with two of the guys in the villa tommy why don't you join us while we check this out
32:24hi ladies i'm dr blake i'm a dentist from st louis missouri and i guarantee i'll brighten your smile
32:36i wanted to ask you on the third date i would absolutely love to do that okay cool
32:44i can't with your i really like these beautiful eyes you have oh thank you yeah don't have a
32:53problem staring at those are you gonna pick me out and throw me around or what i'll take whoever and
32:59throw you around forever
33:09tom now that you've seen all of what went on were you right to be nervous
33:14yes i feel my intuition ended up being correct i mean i i got the feeling that
33:20there was a an emotional connection a romantic connection being formed now blake is not in studio
33:27with us here today but that doesn't mean that he doesn't have anything to say so let's take a look
33:31at
33:31this seeing that you left the island with tom was somewhat disappointing i felt you were pretty
33:40convinced that you were going to leave alone so i think you took a step back for yourself
33:47it was disappointing when i found out chelsea how real were the feelings you were having for blake
33:54at the time my feelings felt very real but i feel like i should have trusted my initial intuition
34:04in what way just with our whole situation i feel like he wasn't genuine tell me you and blake
34:12seem very different i agree what do you think chelsea saw in you uh well i think she just saw
34:19me that she could have a good time be herself let loose and just be in the moment you know
34:23that's interesting what did you see in tommy that attracted you to him well i mean he's a good looking
34:28guy um but he felt like my friend like i was like whoa like pick me up i don't know
34:35i just wanted
34:36everyone to pick me up for some reason but um but we had like so much fun it felt like
34:40more than a
34:41friendship like you guys were really kind of flirty together no i mean i definitely wouldn't use the
34:45word friendship i think it was definitely getting a little bit more flirty than that yeah well i mean
34:49obviously flirty for sure yeah i wouldn't use the word friendship at all tommy you told chelsea
34:55that you thought tom brought her to the island because he wanted to break up with her and now
35:00that you've seen what happened in the other villa do you still feel that way after seeing everything he was
35:06obviously not bringing her there to break up with her but i also don't think it's the best way to
35:10show somebody you love them you know what i mean you could like get a dog move in together propose
35:15there's like other things than to bring them to this kind of a show you know what i mean it's
35:19a
35:19little bit reckless but if everything's going good with you guys right now like it seems like it is
35:23i'm happy for you guys you know oh thanks tommy so how has it been for the two of you
35:28since you left
35:28the island it's been like a roller coaster it was a lot of like love and then fighting and i
35:37realized
35:37that mind state of trying to follow the rules based on technicals is not the point because
35:44it hurt her and that's what's important and i don't want to be the kind of partner that
35:48hurts this or anything another how would you say things are now for you two it's still a struggle
35:55and it's still still work still work we're still putting in the work i mean what relationship isn't
36:01work i mean you have to put in work with anything that you do so i feel like when you
36:06ask us
36:07is love enough and i looked at him and i said is it no it's not enough and we've realized
36:13that
36:13and that's where i'm like getting because i feel like we finally have come to this realization where
36:21we need to grow from that and that's where i feel like we are you both went crazy flirty and
36:29you had
36:29connections with people that mattered you danced with the devil a little bit in that and you chose to
36:36talk about it yeah yeah i just want to thank you both for being here and i wish you the
36:40best of
36:40luck oh and you too tommy thank you very much okay and you too sophia thank you when we come
36:46back we'll
36:47be checking in with a romance story a decade in the making you don't want to miss that stick around
37:01welcome back this season most of our couples were still relatively at the beginning of their romantic
37:07journeys but for kristen and julian it had already been many years in the making and before they even
37:14arrived at the island they had reached a crossroads kristen and julian welcome how have you been are you
37:21still blissfully in love i hope we are yes things have been great we all side a big relief on
37:27that
37:27one you never know on these reunion shows kristen let's see that ring
37:36thank you everybody kristen how important was it for julian to prove he could be faithful in this
37:43setting in the beginning i thought that was the only thing i needed you know we came to temptation island
37:50i said if you don't cheat then that'll prove to me that i can trust you and then as i
37:56saw him
37:56being the respectful man that you know i love um and i still felt that confusion i'm like well where
38:03is this coming from it must be something deeper that you know i keep on avoiding this next step with
38:09him
38:09and you know during my time on the island a lot of people including you um pushed me to to
38:17find those
38:17reasons and those answers uh maya hi you spent the most time with julian um what did you learn about
38:23him i learned a lot um i've realized this is a great way to you know show your your love
38:31to a person
38:31and he's done it very well he made it loud and clear that he's in it for you and i
38:36learned that
38:37you can make a mistake and prove that you've learned from it and grown out of it you know i
38:42think maya helped
38:43me understand that you know i can't continue to carry these burdens that i was carrying um she you
38:49know helped me understand that i'll never be able to move forward that way in life and i'm very
38:53appreciative of crossing paths with her and she helped me tremendously on my journey you promised to
38:59share with kristen the details of the times that you strayed so did you do that after getting home
39:05week one i i felt like i was 16 again you know i felt like i just met kristen again
39:10and everything
39:11was perfect and now we're five six months post island and you know i love kristen more and more
39:17each and every single day and you know i asked her you know if that talk is something that she
39:24wanted
39:25to have and you know she looked me in my eyes and told me that she doesn't want to take
39:30steps
39:30backwards and i understood what she was saying and i respected it and that's kind of where we left off
39:35i never you know i never want to know that stuff because i know being there for erica when she
39:43had to
39:43watch kendall do those things and i don't even have an emotional connection to kendall and i was crying
39:49for days because knowing the details and seeing something like that it hurts and i knew that's not
39:55what i needed in order to grow i needed to know why he did those acts what was going on
40:00you know during
40:01that time that led you to do those things so that i can be sure and trust you that you
40:06would never do
40:06that again uh kristen you expressed that you and julian's family are really close but let's just make
