00:01You
00:14Wait Brion just watch this video
00:20Yeah, she's obviously hurt nothing. She's just like she wants to know the reason why behind everything
00:34I've been thinking about me and Brion's interaction the last couple days. Jesus Christ
00:42I feel like he just doesn't take responsibility for anything that he does. Can I talk to you?
00:48Because right now it's all about him him him him him him him
00:53I kind of like thought about it and like our date situation
00:58I feel like I don't agree with a lot of things that you've done, which you know, it's your journey
01:05And I just feel like for me like for example, you said you didn't cheat on her, but you did
01:11Well here. Yeah, exactly and you've been telling me that like you've been together this whole time
01:16So you that would be you cheating on her
01:19The thing is you got to separate like the real world from the what's going on here, you know?
01:24Yeah, so you're basically like picking and choosing when you want to be single
01:28I'm a big girl's girl, you know what I mean?
01:30So I feel like it's hard for me to like want to spend that time with you when I like
01:35you know these certain
01:36Informations like that makes sense. Yeah, that's not wrong. Yeah, so
01:41Yeah
01:43Sorry, just i'm gonna decline the date. Yeah, it's fine
01:46This morning been all about the video like that's really where my focus is like where is shantae's head at?
01:51That's why all this extra shit. I'm just like I don't care
01:55If I gotta go alone, I gotta go alone. I'm good with that
02:15We got some flowers for you here. Yeah, let me grab them. Those are so pretty
02:25What? Oh my gosh. I wrote you a little letter too. This is so sweet. Let me put this
02:31Left side because you're dating me, right?
02:34We'll put that in after. Okay
02:36So I want to write this letter to you so that we can have a moment
02:39And I want to start this moment by telling you how beautiful sweet and amazing I think you are
02:44I can't tell you how much I appreciate your patience and respect for me as I've navigated this crazy crazy
02:50experience
02:52The connection I feel with you is very real
02:55You've shown me the kind of love that I really do yearn for
02:58I'm excited to continue to learn more about you and really see where this thing goes

03:20I think it's just nice for him to realize that someone appreciates the things about him that ashley maybe didn't
03:26appreciate
03:27I don't want to like give my hopes up that it's completely done for them, but I really like what
03:32we're building
03:33All right, so if I came to visit you in arizona
03:36Uh-huh
03:37What's the first thing you'd take me to go do well first? I'd want you to meet my friends
03:42Okay, they're really important
03:44All right, so we meet meet up meet up with your friends and then what my friends are scarier than
03:47like my dad
03:48Your friends are scarier? Yeah, what they would they would interrogate me?
03:52They're like meeting my dad's really chill meeting my friends is scary. They have stronger opinions
03:59I've gotten myself into trouble in the past by not asking questions
04:02So I want to know you know is natalie thinking about life after the island is she thinking about you
04:08know
04:08What it would be like to visit me does she want to meet my daughter is she open to it

04:14I just want to kind of get those things floating around and see how both of us feel about it
04:18I definitely can't like help but wonder how much i'll see you after the island
04:23Well, isn't that up to us? Yeah
04:35Who's talking about this? I'm making some pottery. Okay
04:40This is gonna get messy. Oh, this is gonna get real messy real fast. I haven't done this since middle
04:45school first steps get it went

04:57harder
05:00It's not on

05:03Yeah, because you were too low with it
05:05All right, I just love my sweet little Danny like it's so fun with him and it's easy
05:12I don't know what will come of the entire situation
05:16But right now i'm just enjoying my time and taking it day by day with him and we'll see where
05:20that goes
05:22Get your hands in
05:23Get your hands in
05:23Okay
05:24I'm just gonna go slow
05:28I think so
05:30Oh, it's it's shaping
05:32Yep, take that out
05:34Scoop it out
05:36All right, good
05:39Oh, come on
05:43Every day that we've done i've seen more parts of ashley open up i've seen more emotional connections more physical
05:50connections
05:50When i feel like it's fun, you know to get a little dirty doing something different something unique you get
05:55to build that connection even more
06:04There's like definitely sparks there with danny and i feel happy when i'm around him and that's really all i'm
06:09looking for right now
06:10i've obviously taken you on several dates now so i'm very into you
06:15i'm just glad that you're here
06:17You too
06:18So thank you
06:19Thank you
06:20This is where we belong
06:38How you doing um oh let me do guava and a mango
06:45I think one of the biggest things i've learned about me is i don't like being alone
06:49Like that just feels like half my heart was in that ipad um
06:53Because that's why i'm so cold to other people here
06:56They're not shantae so
06:58I'm just gonna be on the straight and arrow the rest of the way through like i have been because
07:02that's really all that's on my mind right now
07:03Is what i can do to you know be a good man to her and i got a lot of
07:08explaining to do so
07:10I'll do the best i can
07:15Every step yeah i'm taking deep breaths loving my bracelet
07:21Look at this oh my gosh
07:23Man i'm back to back huh
07:252-0 i started off 0 for 2 though
07:280 for uh yeah which i'm holding that against you yeah
07:31Yeah yeah yeah you didn't even give me your bracelet to begin with
07:34Thought i was just trying to be a friend which is crazy big homie vibes
07:38Like i never gave oh he's trying to be my friend energy i let you go first oh my goodness
07:44gracious you good yeah
07:46I'm built for this baby okay with yamen it's just not forced it easily aligns and that's something that i
07:52really want right now
07:55Oh my god look how beautiful this is oh this is amazing it's not a bad vibe right here huh
08:03And it's natural the fact that the earth did this all by itself yeah i'm gonna have to get in
08:09So with everything that taylor's been going through
08:12And you know me entering the picture at first she seemed very closed off but just spending more time with
08:18her
08:18She's fun she's outgoing seems like she's becoming more of herself this new taylor that i'm just now getting to
08:25experience
08:25It's making a boy feel nice and fuzzy on the inside
08:29Come on come on come on come on come on come on come on come on come on come on
08:41there we go there we go
08:48I have really been trying to respect the boundaries that tyler and i set even if he wanted to cross
08:53that boundary because i
08:55Still want to hold myself to the standard but i'm not disrespecting my relationship there is no relationship to respect
09:01anymore
09:03I deserve happiness whatever that may look like
09:33What do we got going on here this detoxifying mud mask draws out tension and toxins as it rejuvenates the
09:42body with organic vitamins and minerals from the sea
09:44It will allow the desire and needs of the heart
09:48To move into the mind where they can be expressed and fulfilled trying to say something
09:55Mix the powder with warm water glide the mud over your body and to
09:59Emerge feeling refreshed and renewed all right we need that
10:04Honestly a little bit
10:07One two
10:10My goal is really to get clarity on how k and i need to move forward in the the final
10:15few days because
10:17After the weeks we've spent together you know we're both you know feeling something here
10:28I want you to lay down
10:29Yes ma'am
10:35This is an image i never thought i would see
10:39I just want to look at the horizon and just kind of see you know how this might work in
10:44the future because more than anything
10:45I want and need to make sure i do it right this time not moving too fast not moving too
10:50slow
10:52Just flowing
10:54That's nice actually now we're talking
11:01So with everything that you have going on right now yeah and now
11:05Me being in the picture just
11:08You know what does that look like
11:10Um
11:10Going forward it gives me something to look forward to honestly like something exciting because i feel
11:16That this whole experience coming to this island i got exactly what i came here to get
11:23Plus some
11:25A little extra
11:26Yeah a little extra
11:27Well uh-huh
11:29Yeah i'm happy
11:32At peace
11:34That's a good word
11:35Yeah
11:36Okay we like peace
11:37Yeah
12:03All right anything you want to let go of as we watch this off
12:07I think the first thing i want to wash off and kind of get rid of is
12:11Honestly the just the heaviness and all the stress that it's come from my previous relationship
12:16It's kind of what i want to
12:19Finally get off my chest out with the old and possibly in with the new
12:24So i love that
12:27One thing i've learned about tyler one thing that i really
12:31Appreciated is how secure he makes me feel
12:36Um
12:38I'm like getting emotional i don't know why
12:41I just feel like in my last relationship i definitely
12:45um
12:47Went my guard down a lot and i felt really really safe and secure with him and
12:51That rug just kind of got pulled out from under me
12:55I feel like i've taken things really slow with tyler for that reason even though i'm never questioning where i
13:02stand with him and
13:03That's something i feel like i really really appreciate so yeah
13:12I
13:13Wouldn't trade it for another way
13:17And right now i know it
13:20I trust where i'm going
13:24I feel to make that grass look greener
13:28I trust where i'm going
13:35Hello hello welcome to the hot shop today we're going to be making this cool glass flower
13:41Ooh
13:42Take some time pick out your colors
13:45And then lay out a pattern of different colored frits for the top of the flower
13:50Okay thank you i appreciate you
13:53Let's see okay i'm a little overwhelmed
13:55I already know colors right now
13:57This is fun and i appreciate you asking me on the second date again
14:00I knew you would be like fun and not bring any pressure to my situation that's already
14:05Exactly
14:07Overwhelming right now
14:08I know right now you're still processing it but
14:11You have a lot of great qualities and you're obviously a great girlfriend
14:14You deserve that exact same thing from your partner
14:16Yeah
14:17Whoever that is if someone's not going to give that to you it's just like
14:20It's hard for us to support that and
14:22I know
14:22There's something good out there for you because there's not many girls like you and
14:25Thank you
14:26Yeah, there's definitely definitely good to come in your life. Thank you. Of course
14:31It ain't easy being shanty. Come on
14:33It ain't easy y'all. I know geo has like my best interests at heart
14:37It's of course like advice and things that I need to hear
14:41Um, but again, it's like all decisions I have to make for myself. Take it back. Nice work. Keep it
14:46turn turn turn
14:47Okay, I don't know like what rayon could even tell me for us to keep moving past it
14:53I just feel so conflicted of like what I'm hearing what I'm seeing what's going on. It's just
14:59Constantly running through my brain and roll and then you're controlling that stem. You hold on too
15:03perfect
15:09Hi
15:16Repping it
15:21You did it
15:23In the beginning Alex and I we were always intrigued with each other definitely attracted to each other but
15:29After receiving the video message this morning from alexa kind of knocked off all this doubt
15:34You're killing it. I feel pure happiness and joy and moving forward. I have a big decision
15:40It's going to determine whether i'm going to be with someone for the rest of my life and it's it's
15:44a crazy thought
15:45Good job
15:55Hi, hello, welcome. Can I offer you sage sure? Absolutely. Okay back to back. Okay
16:04Excellent and what's your name? alexa alexa sister. I offer you sage. Thank you
16:10Mm-hmm and brother. What is your name? uh max max
16:16Welcome
16:17I chose max because i've had a lot of doubts and he's helped reassured me
16:21These are your seats. I need to be more gentle with myself and open up my heart more and
16:27Trust that what the heart wants it'll it'll get if you follow it
16:32So right now we're in a very receptive pose. This is a supportive circle where we can
16:38Really honor what's ready to come forward. What do you want to bring out right now?
16:46Came here with
16:48the intention of
16:51making my relationship with my boyfriend stronger
16:54I
16:55Wanted him to get some clarity and figure out if it was me that he really wanted forever
17:02But it's almost in a way given me clarity that that i want him just as much if not more
17:09And so my intentions kind of shifted to
17:12Wanting our relationship to work to wanting me to discover more about myself
17:16I finally feel like i'm doing just that and i'm learning to be more confident strong woman that i never
17:24thought i was
17:27Through this journey i've met four incredible beautiful emotionally intelligent women
17:34And obviously one in particular alexa that i've developed
17:39A lifelong friendship with i'm just forever grateful for her and just value our friendship so much
17:49We appreciate you always
17:59I'm starving bro literally the same
18:06There we go um
18:09Did you kiss on your date yes i knew it god
18:13Yeah it's insane though i mean it was so beautiful like we were literally the water was so cold
18:18I had to like low-key straddle him like a koala bear and like he just looked at me and
18:22i was like
18:24Okay fine do that
18:25How was it was it like a kiss or makeup no it was a makeup like it was low-key
18:29really good he kissed
18:31Exactly like i kissed like soft subtle bite the lip like it wasn't like full tongue
18:37You know how you kiss some people and you're like bro what where did you learn yeah
18:42Pretty fun though
18:44You guys can't
18:45Decent amount
18:46Decent amount
18:48Ah dude
18:49Decent amount
18:50Hell yeah
18:51Do you think you would hook up with him
18:54Yeah
18:54Yeah probably we were underwater and some booty grabbing was happening
18:58Oh okay
19:00So that was nice i was like oh
19:03Okay how what about you um
19:06At first we were like sitting next to each other and then he got behind me and we were like
19:10hands on the pottery
19:11Like i kept like turning like totally could have like at least cheek kissed yeah
19:15He just like wasn't doing it and then
19:18Yeah finally we like kissed it was a little bit awkward because there's like clay all over
19:22face but it was like cute
19:24It was cute like look at him talk them like they're both a lot of hand movements like
19:30And he's a really good guy i know taylor and ashley need to taylor and ashley
19:34Uh-huh need to be happy too because they're over there making themselves happy
19:47I love playing on you
19:52They're really like in love look at this
19:57I think you just make me feel safe
20:00Good
20:02I'm very interested to see how this ends
20:04Me too
20:06Very interested to see if they like leave the island together
20:09What is it like is it real
20:11I'm gonna miss this little island
20:14Hanging out with you all the time
20:16I know
20:27I think ever since we started having sleepovers at night and stuff
20:30It's definitely become a lot more like wait a minute. I can definitely see
20:35Potential future with him outside of here. That's not something i've even considered
20:55It's not something i've even thought really about the idea of like falling in love with tyler
21:05Um, but that's why they say falling you don't know when it happens
21:08More than last is this something i can't trust never ever felt this kind of rush
21:14Oh, i'm longing for your touch
21:18Okay
21:19The thought of falling in love again is just you know terrifying
21:25I do feel like with kay i'm definitely at the precipice right now
21:29But uh, i have made wrong decisions by just being too comfortable
21:34And seeking comfort that's what got me into trouble with taylor and i won't make that same mistake with kay
21:42We're doing this whole thing so wrong
21:46You don't have to resist each other
21:50I was doing just fine
21:53Then you went and changed my mind
21:57Am I sleeping in here tonight?
21:59If you're okay with just sleeping
22:00Yeah, that's what i was playing on doing
22:03Like seriously though
22:05Yeah
22:05Like after all the dates that we've gone through
22:08It feels really good that she asked me for this sleepover tonight
22:12And being here alone with her just really opens up so many more doors
22:17Kind of a red fire
22:19Oh, no
22:20I sleepwalk
22:22No
22:24No
22:24No, you don't
22:25It truly gives you a sense of what life could be after
22:30We'll see where it goes and we'll see how it ends up at the final bonfire
22:50There's a new man in my bed
22:52What's happening?
22:54I feel like I can't stop
23:19Okay, we're good we're good
23:21I think this is getting deflated because my ass is literally like on the floor
23:27Mark
23:28Just in the neighborhood that I dropped by
23:31Ladies just five minutes. We'll sit right over here guys. You can chill. It's not deep with me quick
23:38Oh boy guys
23:43I want to just drop by I can tell you that tonight
23:48It's a great bonfire
23:49Great
23:50Okay
23:51Excited
23:52This is the last time you'll see clips before meeting up with your boyfriends at the final bonfire
23:56So hopefully it'll give you any remaining insight you need to determine the ultimate decision you came to this island
24:02to make
24:04I'll see you tonight
24:05Okay, see you later
24:06Bye Mark
24:10I'm so tired of things
24:11I'm so tired of things
24:12I'm so tired of things
24:17We can do this like the sunset on a beautiful day
24:25Tay hasn't had a consistent connection from what I've seen, but I have a couple ideas of what I might
24:32see tonight.
24:33I just have to kind of take it on the chin and just kind of go from there.
24:39I don't know what I could possibly see from Shantae.
24:43I don't expect her to react and do something because of what I did, but if she does, it's valid.
24:50I'm the one that crossed the boundary. I'm the one that broke the line.
24:53Whatever I see, I deserve.
24:55Shed your life in the darkest night.
25:00At the end of the day, I need to make the best decision for myself.
25:04A lot of different thoughts are going through my brain right now.
25:06There's grace, forgiveness, understanding, anger, and I'm thinking, he did that.
25:11Why would he do that? Cut him off.
25:14It's just so many different emotions that are piling on top of each other.
25:18I legitimately feel like I have no more tears to shed over this guy.
25:22It's still a fresh wound because I've not been able to get the closure like, hey, we're single.
25:29But I expect to see Tyler riding into the sunset with Kay.
25:32I'll be ready to know the truth.
25:42Like the sunset on a beautiful day.
26:03Good to see all four of you.
26:05You know the drill here.
26:07It's time to look at some clips.
26:08Now remember, this is the last time you'll see clips before meeting up with your boyfriends at the final bonfire.
26:14We're going to start with you, Shantae.
26:16Okay.
26:17Okay?
26:18Mm-hmm.
26:20I kind of like thought about it and like our date situation.
26:25I feel like I don't agree with a lot of things that you've done, which, you know, it's your journey.
26:32And I just feel like for me, like, for example, you said you didn't cheat on her, but you did.
26:38You doing that too.
26:39Well, here.
26:39Yeah, exactly.
26:40And you've been telling me you've been together this whole time.
26:43So you, that would be you cheating on her.
26:45The thing is you got to separate like the real world from the what's going on here, you know?
26:51Yeah, so you're basically like picking and choosing when you want to be single.
26:54I'm a big girl's girl, you know what I mean?
26:56And it's hard for me to like want to spend that time with you when I like know these certain
27:03information, if that makes sense.
27:05Yeah, that's no problem.
27:06Yeah.
27:07So, yeah.
27:10So I just, I'm going to decline the date.
27:12I feel like he just doesn't take responsibility for anything that he does.
27:17Right now, it's all about him, him, him, him, him, him, him.
27:23Good for her.
27:25It's going to make me happy.
27:26That was really good.
27:27Hmm.
27:29What did you like that you heard?
27:30I'm glad she stood up for herself and she didn't want to be put in a position where she felt
27:34like she was going to feel uncomfortable or anything like that.
27:38So I'm proud of her for doing that.
27:40How does that feel that that's your boyfriend?
27:42Sucks.
27:44Remind me what the rules were that you guys said when you came here.
27:47No kissing or any sexual boundaries crossed and that obviously happened and someone is calling him out on it.
27:55So now that it has happened, I like don't even know how to mourn it or figure it out because
28:02this experience is just hard.
28:05One of the things I really admire in you is your grace and your poise.
28:10This strength that I see, will this same strength be there when he's here to stand your ground like she
28:17stood her ground?
28:18He's going to see some strength from me because it's going to be a rough conversation with him.
28:23He's going to have to face the truth of what he's done and how he's acted.
28:27Okay.
28:29Ashley?
28:31Hi.
28:32Let's watch.
28:32Let's talk about it.
28:37Oh my gosh.
28:39I wrote you a little letter too.
28:40This is so sweet.
28:42I want to start this moment by telling you how beautiful, sweet, and amazing I think you are.
28:47Oh my gosh.
28:48I can't tell you how much I appreciate your patience and respect for me as I've navigated this crazy, crazy
28:54experience.
28:55You've shown me the kind of love that I really do yearn for.
28:58I'm excited to continue to learn more about you and really see where this thing goes.
29:03Oh my gosh.
29:04Hi, girl.
29:05That's so sweet.
29:08You're welcome.
29:08I really appreciate this.
29:10This is so cute.
29:17Um, I think he jumps from girl to girl without acknowledging what he's leaving behind.
29:25Did you get a message from him?
29:27Yeah.
29:27Can you share with me the gist of it?
29:30Honestly, the message felt like a waste of time.
29:33He took no responsibility for his actions, and the whole objective of us coming here was for him to prove
29:41that he wouldn't cheat on me, and he did.
29:44So to send me a message and tell me that it's heartbreaking to hear how I talk about him is
29:52crazy to me.
29:53But what I'm concerned about, Ashley, is this definition of what a healthy love relationship is.
29:58And I'm concerned that you don't necessarily have a good image of it.
30:03What's your definition of love for you?
30:10I love you.
30:20I'm not trying to upset you.
30:22I'm trying to free you.
30:25I don't.
30:28Look, okay?
30:30Here's the thing.
30:32I'm going to say to you from here.
30:34You are tough, and you're protecting yourself.
30:37And you should because you've been hurt.
30:40And there is a level that you deserve.
30:42And this right now, what you're feeling and not saying, this lets you know you want it.
30:50Okay?
30:53I'm proud of you.
31:01We good?
31:02Mm-hmm.
31:03Alexa, you ready?
31:05Mm-hmm.
31:06Yeah.
31:06Let's take a look.
31:08For me, I got to adjust myself.
31:11Again?
31:12Always.
31:14Stop dipping the straw in it like that.
31:17Why?
31:17You don't like it?
31:18I mean, I like it, but there's some intent behind that.
31:22I don't think so.
31:24No.
31:26All right, someone needs to put me to bed before I make bad decisions.
31:36He came here to test himself and to know if he wants to be with me.
31:40And I'm really, really hoping that when we come back together, we can realize that.
31:46And sure, there's that little seed of doubt, like what happened on their date?
31:50Did he make bad decisions?
31:53But I'm just trying to remind myself of the words that he told me in my video message.
32:00Which were?
32:01There's only one Lino and there's only one Alexa.
32:04That's very romantic.
32:06I want to see that from him.
32:08I want to see the actions outside of this from him.
32:11So let's say that things work out for you and Final Bonfire goes the way you hope it does.
32:18I don't think you're the same girl that was in the relationship beforehand.
32:21I'm hoping he's not the same guy that was.
32:24Do you have the tools now to arrest it there and have a different way of communicating?
32:30A lot of our disagreements or issues that we've been having stem from things that I needed to work on
32:36by myself as well.
32:37I've had this guilt looming over me for so long and I bring that into my relationship.
32:42It predates Lino.
32:44Yeah.
32:45Yeah, a little bit.
32:45The guilt from before Lino and the guilt at the beginning of Lino.
32:48Maybe it's not an us problem, it's an individual problem.
32:51Um, I think that's some really incredible work you've done.
32:57Okay, I'm going to move on.
32:59Taylor, here we go.
33:04Alright, anything you want to let go of as we wash this off?
33:07I have a few things I want to let go of.
33:09I think the first thing I want to wash off and kind of get rid of is just the heaviness
33:13and all the stress that has come from my previous relationship.
33:17And that way, uh, out with the old and possibly in with the new.
33:22So.
33:23I will back.
33:29The thought of falling in love again is just, you know, terrifying.
33:35And I do feel like with K.E., I'm definitely at the precipice right now.
33:44I'm happy for him.
33:45That's all I have to say.
33:47I mean, he's falling in love.
33:50Cool, now tell me what you really feel.
33:54I feel empty.
33:55Like, I literally have, like, no emotion.
33:58I just feel like I've gained a lot more.
34:01I initially came into this experience thinking that this was for Tyler.
34:05And I really see in the end, it was kind of for me all along to learn more about myself,
34:11to get outside of my comfort zone.
34:13So I feel like I'm just really proud of myself.
34:17And I couldn't have done it without the support of these beautiful ladies.
34:20Do you feel that when you leave that you're going to be leaving the island in a, um, better place
34:25or worse place at the end of the day?
34:27A better place, for sure.
34:29And that's a win.
34:30Mm-hmm.
34:31Okay.
34:32Our time is coming to an end.
34:34The next time you're here, it will be you and the guy you came to this island with.
34:41You're going to make your final decision whether you're going to leave the island together as you came, leave the
34:46island with somebody else, or leave alone.
34:50Now, let's talk about what happens between now and then.
34:53You're also going to have a chance to have one final intimate overnight date with the gentleman that you select
34:59from your villa that you want to spend time with.
35:01The one person that you really, through all of this process, feel the most connected to.
35:06Those who aren't selected, go home.
35:09Since there's no more bonfire, what happens on your final dates is your truth.
35:13It won't be shown to anybody else.
35:15And the next time we're here, you'll be reunited with the person you came to the island with, and then
35:20make decisions about what your future will be.
35:22Okay?
35:23Mm-hmm.
35:24All right.
35:25Thanks, Mark.
35:26That's all.
35:26Thanks, Mark.
35:26Good night.
35:36Obviously, more is happening in his experience than I'm not even aware of for people to feel disrespected.
35:44Shouldn't have to put up with that, so do I just bounce or do I stick it out?
35:48I don't know what's going on.
35:50And this final bonfire, talking to him, I don't know if I'm going to get an honest answer.
36:03I hate that my head just keeps spiraling and thinking he, like, isn't ready to commit to me.
36:14When I see Tyler, it's going to make me emotional.
36:17It is hard to look someone in the face that you've loved for two and a half years that has
36:21chosen to walk away from you.
36:23But I think I have to find a way to fall out of love with him and back in love
36:29with myself.
36:39I thought he genuinely cared for me and, like, saw a future with me.
36:44Like, I'm sad because this is how he lives his life.
36:48Like, that's the type of man he is.
36:53And, like, I don't even think he sees it.
36:55Like, I was like, it's just sad.
36:57I hope he recognizes it because he's left so much, like, disaster in his relationships.
37:06I thought he could change.
37:07I thought he could be better, and he's just not.
37:32What's up, fellas?
37:33What's up?
37:37All right, guys, welcome.
37:39This will be the final time you'll see clips of what's been happening on the other side of the island.
37:43Next time you come here in just a few days, it'll be to meet up with your girlfriends
37:47and personally share how this experience has been for you and to make the biggest decision in your relationship.
37:53Yeah.
37:55Grant, my man, you ready?
37:57Yeah.
37:57Let's take it.
38:01I've obviously taken you on several dates now, so I'm very into you.
38:07I'm just glad that you're here.
38:09You too.
38:37I'm good, Mark.
38:39It's okay, man.
38:46That was terrible to watch, obviously.
38:51But she's moved on, as have I.
38:54She made it clear that she moved on when she didn't send me a message.
38:58And it's just a relief that this is over.
39:01Now that you've seen her having a connection, you feel a sense of sadness and relief.
39:07Why do you feel relief?
39:12Don't be the good guy on paper.
39:14Be the honest guy right now.
39:16I feel relief because I've known that I didn't completely want it, that I was forcing it because
39:23I thought it was the right thing to do and it was wrong.
39:25And I should have cut it off a long time ago.
39:28How does that feel coming out of your mouth?
39:31I've known it.
39:32It just hasn't came out.
39:34I don't want to talk about why it hasn't come out.
39:39To get really honest with it.
39:42I think everyone in my family has stayed together.
39:45My parents are still together.
39:47My aunt and uncle are still together.
39:48And I felt that it was, I was trying to prove something to the rest of them that I could
39:53make it work no matter what.
39:55I'm trying to make it work and not admitting that it's not working.
40:00If it falls apart, it's her fault for not forgiving you is what's come out of your mouth.
40:07Yeah.
40:08We tend, we as humans tend to just point a finger.
40:11But ownership of your part of it is a really great start to practice with anyone.
40:18Yeah.
40:18And then you at least part being thankful for what you've taught each other.
40:25I can appreciate that.
40:27Let's talk about the connections you made while you've been here and how it's played out for you.
40:32If there's been something to gain or not.
40:34What have you learned about yourself through Natalie?
40:38I guess I've learned that I'm easily blinded by rose-colored glasses.
40:45Okay.
40:47That's called looking at the truth instead of pretending everything's cool.
40:50It's painful as hell and I don't know how it ends up because life is messy, but I appreciate that.
40:58Thanks.
40:58Yeah.
41:00Lino, let's take a look.
41:03I came here with the intention of making my relationship with my boyfriend stronger.
41:11I wanted him to get some clarity and figure out if it was me that he really wanted forever.
41:20But it's almost in a way given me clarity that I want him just as much, if not more.
41:26And so my intentions kind of shifted to wanting our relationship to work, to wanting me to discover more about
41:33myself.
41:34I finally feel like I'm doing just that, and I'm learning to be a more confident, strong woman that I
41:40never thought I was.
41:45I'm grateful that she's been discovering those things about her that she obviously was lacking.
41:52I'm glad that she feels empowered and confident in herself, and I'm glad that she has a support system there.
41:59You expressed in your video message to her, obviously, something that made her feel pretty okay.
42:04Yeah, I was giving her reassurance that there's only one me, and that I've come to realize there's only one
42:11Alexa.
42:12Let's talk about your relationship before, and if you guys decide to stay together, what it might look like beyond
42:19this.
42:19Yeah.
42:20And I'm just remembering what the original complaints were.
42:23What would you say is the thing you learned?
42:25Coming in here, obviously, some of that resentment and trust issues came from a place inside of me,
42:31that feeling of inadequacy, second choice, holding those resentments, holding anything above her,
42:37is something that I needed to abolish from myself in order to move on and truly commit myself.
42:43And I was given, quote-unquote, a hall pass, but having the power and the ability to use it or
42:49not use it
42:50actually made me so proud of myself.
42:52And I put myself in a situation where I want to be tempted, and I want to decide whether I
42:59truly want to take this hall pass,
43:02or if I don't, I also am happy with that.
43:06And I came to those conclusions and got those answers.
43:12Okay.
43:14Tyler, you ready?
43:16Tea time.
43:17All right, let's take a look.
43:33All right, let's take a look at it.
43:35So with everything that you have going on right now...
43:38Yeah.
43:39And now, me being in the picture, what does that look like?
43:43It gives me something to look forward to, honestly.
43:45Like, something exciting, because I feel that this whole experience, coming to this island,
43:52I got exactly what I came here to get, plus some.
43:56So, yeah, I'm happy.
44:01You know, I feel like we have both gotten a lot of answers that we were looking for,
44:05because it was very difficult for us, you know, leading up to this process and trying to make it work,
44:12and especially me getting out of a marriage and, you know, losing someone, which I didn't want to happen.
44:17And we definitely got together at probably an inappropriate time, because I was not the man I needed to be.
44:22Okay, I'll buy that.
44:23And I thought I could be very vulnerable with her and kind of work with her through that,
44:26but there was a lot of difficulties that showed up.
44:28So, in the coming here, we're definitely looking for answers if this is something that we need to keep fighting
44:33for,
44:34or, you know, something that we need to give up.
44:36I don't know what her perspective is on that, but, um, there's a lot going through my mind, so.
44:42Let's give you some grace.
44:46You got in a relationship young.
44:48You, by your own words, have not had a lot of experience as it comes to relationship.
44:53That relationship took its course into a painful place.
44:57Not a lot of grass grew under your feet before a new relationship formed.
45:02No grass.
45:02With someone you felt a deep connection with.
45:05You guys obviously have a lot of fire, you and Taylor.
45:08You know, that stuff was there, so there was enough reason for you to keep trying to make that work.
45:13But the lesson here is, forget why you said you came here.
45:19What does your heart now tell you the reason is why you and Taylor are here?
45:25After seeing that clip, you know, her reason might to be fine, you know,
45:29to find a connection that's really fitting for her journey in life,
45:32and I feel like I haven't really fit that mold,
45:35and that's kind of what I'm battling with right now.
45:39The good news is, life continues after you leave here.
45:43So we'll keep figuring shit out, okay?
45:46Yeah.
45:47And tell me what you're discovering with your connection with Kay.
45:51Connection with Kay is, it's exciting.
45:53You know, it's like that honeymoon stage feeling, you know, which is awesome.
45:57But I'm not wanting a situation that's really overlapping here,
46:00and so I'm just wondering how I need to make decisions and make moves
46:05and to protect myself and also to protect these two individuals.
46:09When you get honest and say stuff to Taylor and without pointing fingers or accusing,
46:15take responsibility of it to then say, this is what I've learned.
46:21It's a respectful thing to do.
46:23That's what we learn to do as real men, is that we treat women with respect.
46:28We navigate the river a little bit better that way.
46:31Yeah.
46:32You know what I mean?
46:33Love it.
46:34Breonna, your turn.
46:36Okay?
46:36Sounds good.
46:37All right, let's go.
46:39I love him so much, and I just, like, wanted him to be, like, my husband,
46:46the father of my children, all the things, so...
46:50I'm definitely blindsided.
46:51I don't want to, like, sit here and just wait for him to just do more stupid shit
46:55if there's no remorse.
46:58I don't even want to fucking write in my journal anymore, because I was writing to him.
47:03I don't care if this fucking necklace on with his fucking earrings on, looking stupid.
47:08We literally talked about how, like, proud our kids were going to be because of us.
47:12I was like, how can we show my children that?
47:19Yeah, I definitely think that's two weeks back-to-back where it really shows what I've done to hurt her.
47:30You know, I want to be a husband that she can be proud of.
47:35How I started, it was a lot of Shantae doesn't do this, Shantae doesn't do that, Shantae could do more
47:41of this.
47:42And on this journey, I've realized Breon has been the issue, and Breon has been the problem,
47:48and Breon has a lot of shit he has to work on.
47:51Taking ownership of your actions and validating what she says is a really strong place to be.
47:57I admire that.
47:58How do you feel about her feeling that you haven't shown remorse?
48:03What would you say to that?
48:04Um, it sucks that it had to be me going through it and touching the, you know, the fire to
48:11realize I don't want that in my life.
48:14I've replayed that last week's bonfire in my head a thousand times.
48:18I've never seen her like that.
48:20What do you think about the fact that you've never, you've never seen this girl who's your partner that way?
48:26I haven't given her a safety outlet to be that open and that emotional.
48:30When you think back on it, it's like that's a terrible way to be.
48:33And why is it a terrible way?
48:35Why is that response a terrible way to be?
48:40It's showing her feelings are invalid.
48:42And what do you think that's about?
48:46Well, I think for me, I mean, just the way I was raised, like, my parents were on drugs.
48:54Um, I was taken out of my home at two years old.
48:58Grandparents couldn't take care of me.
49:00Grandma left, abused in the foster system.
49:03Tough childhood growing up, being a black guy in a white family.
49:07Left my house at 17 years old, living with my best friend, went to college by myself.
49:11And it's tough driving yourself to college with all your shit packed, you know.
49:16And all those things that made me who I am today, to be an independent young man, to be strong,
49:22you know, that all shapes you at the end of the day.
49:28There is a world of information that you just shared.
49:31And what I'm going to say to you is, there's no way for you to know.
49:37If you've had no model of it, and from childhood, you've had people leave you, disappoint you, show bad behavior,
49:48not support you all this time.
49:50How would you know how to respect if no one has modeled for you or shown you or told you
49:58that you matter and you're safe?
50:08Because the only person you can count on is who?
50:10It's myself.
50:11There you go.
50:12And how do you have a relationship if that's the only way you know how to be?
50:17Okay.
50:18Okay.
50:23What are you feeling right now?
50:25A weird feeling of relief.
50:29I don't know.
50:30It's just, it's a weird feeling.
50:32Thank you, bro.
50:33It's a weird feeling.
50:34I don't know how to express it right now, but I guess I got to talk to a lot of
50:39people.
50:40Or just one person.
50:42Yeah.
50:44Also listen to this.
50:47She doesn't feel safe to let that emotion show in front of you.
50:51No.
50:52I'm going to suggest there's a part of you that you just showed me that she hasn't seen either.
50:56Yeah.
50:58And what makes a woman love her man and think he's the greatest thing in the world more than him
51:03breaking down in her arms?
51:04That's called intimacy.
51:07And you're just tapping into this emotional thing you show no one.
51:11And I'm suggesting to you, that's the first thing to show to the person you want to show it to.
51:19Are you okay?
51:20Mm-hmm.
51:22Yeah.
51:22Okay.
51:23Let's talk about what's going on from here going forward.
51:27The next time we're here, you'll be reunited with the person you came to the island with.
51:31You'll make your final decision about how you want to leave the island.
51:37You can leave together, alone, or with someone else.
51:41Okay?
51:42Mm-hmm.
51:43In the meantime, it is time to select your final overnight dates.
51:49I suggest you pick the one that you have the deepest connection with.
51:54The one that's helped you the most and can help you the most.
51:57Those who are not selected to go on a date, go home.
52:02Okay?
52:04That's all I have.
52:06Good night, gentlemen.
52:07Enjoy your time back at the villa.
52:08I'll see you soon.
52:09That's great.
52:10Thanks, Mark.
52:11Thank you, Mark.
52:12Appreciate it.
52:14Group hug.
52:15Group hug?
52:16All right.
52:16We need a group hug here first.
52:19I'm down low.
52:19See you guys.
52:20I'm down low.
52:21Love you guys.
52:23You've been out too many times before.
52:27You deserve better.
52:28Just, like, reflecting right now just on my other relationships.
52:33You know, hurt some people.
52:37So, all that, um...
52:40You know, being rude.
52:42She wanted me to be a husband, and hopefully I can still make that happen, but I got to do
52:50better.
52:51For sure.
52:52I want to be the one to treat you right.
52:55I want to make you smile.
52:58When I see Ashley in person, I know that we're going to have to have this conversation and make my
53:04apology, but it doesn't feel good to know that she's finding a safe place in someone else that's not me.
53:11Nothing feels good about it.
53:13Seeing that clip of Tay, you know, I was jealous.
53:16That's just not what I was expecting.
53:18I just really underestimated the amount of change that could happen here.
53:23And then now, at this final bonfire, I hope I'm surprised, but if I'm surprised, then I'm like, well, fuck,
53:29you know?
53:29So, what am I going to do then?
53:32I want to be your hero, your hero, your hero.
53:35After tonight, I truly feel like these decisions that I'm having to make and live with are all becoming real
53:43now.
53:43And I have decided to pop the question.
53:49I want to be your hero, your hero, your hero.
53:51I'm choosing her.
53:52I want to be your hero, your hero, your hero.
53:55And I know that when I come to her in the end, that we will choose each other.
53:59Hero, your hero, your hero.
54:03Woo-hoo!
54:04It's time for the final date.
54:07Yeah!
54:08Oh my gosh, the view is so pretty.
54:11I think I will be tempted by Danny tonight.
54:15It's all becoming so real now.
54:18You came here with the question, should we be together?
54:21I'm sorry.
54:21Or is there somebody better for me?
54:23No, that's okay.
54:25So now you get to answer it.
54:27Can I have a hug?
54:29No.
54:31Do you want to leave together?
54:32Do you want to leave alone?
54:34Or have you connected with somebody new?
54:37Can I have a second?
54:39Absolutely.
54:43I don't want to do it.
54:53I hate to break a tear, but I don't need you.
54:57I'm living life for me.
55:00You're with me or against me.
55:04You get no benefit.
55:07And, and I'm still done with it.
55:10You cause my mind a risk.
55:14And act so damn innocent.
55:16You think your vice is a gift.
55:20Cause, cause I'm still done with it.
55:23Yeah.
55:24You have to cross into your role.
55:27You have to do it.
55:28You have to Rohini.
55:30And that can be brought into your mind.
55:32Absolutely.
55:32You, I never do it.
55:32You, I never do it.
55:33You, I never do it.
55:33You, I never do it.
55:33You, I never do it.
