You made a disparaging comment about my weight," you know?

I'm paraphrasing at the time--
At the moment.
And--and I'm like--
I'm like, "no, that wasn't what I was trying to do.
"that wasn't the intent.
I apologize."
I'm like, "I was just trying to give you

- Right. Right, yeah.
- And I'm just like-- you know, like, I get it.
I'm not trying to do for the tit for tat, right?
But at the end of the day, like--
- You have to validate her concerns.
I feel like a lot of times, when someone brings
Something to a person, we automatically get defensive.
Maybe that's, like, then--
We're still getting to know each other, right?
Maybe that's, like, an insecurity.
But, like, in my mind, she's not fat or thick.
In my mind, she's small.
But you know, who knows?
Maybe that's something, like, she's dealt with on her own.
Like, maybe she-- maybe she does feel overweight,
And then hearing, like, her husband say it--
Like, you know, that--that isn't, like, reassuring.
- But I never even said "overweight."
And--but I tried to apologize.
- I know. What I'm saying--
It's not what you said. I mean, how she interpreted it.
- Right.
- You never said the word "fat."
You never said overweight. - Yeah.
- You said "I typically date slender."
- Yeah. And all of a sudden,
I'm typecasted as "you don't like bigger women."
I'm like, "that's just not fair."
- That's not fair.

Again, I can appreciate that.
You're just very up-front.
You tell--you tell it like you see it.
And it's not always easy to hear
For some people, I'm sure.
And, like, in that situation, it wasn't easy
For her to hear in that way.
And she took it in a different way
That you didn't intend.
And I mean, I don't know what to say.
- Okay, so let me ask you, do you--
Do you acknowledge that maybe,
You could delivered that differently?
Like, are you aware of, like, how it came--like--
- Yeah.
- Do you think that, like, it was--
Your delivery was, like, the correct delivery?
Like, you--
- I mean, it was spur of the moment.
But when I, like, reflect on it, like,
Did I have time to even curtail how I went about it?
It could have been more poignant.
It could have been more eloquent.
- Okay. I feel like the fact
That he recognizes that--
- For sure. - You know what I mean?
- I mean, that says a lot.
I mean, if people are taken aback by it,
It's like, yeah, maybe--
Maybe that was wrong.
I mean, not maybe.
Like, obviously, it wasn't the way
It was meant to come across.
- Right.
- This is one of those things in life
I'm like, this is one of those moments

To seek that inner mind and see, like,
What does my soul say to me right now?
- I mean, we got the dinner-- we got the dinner tonight.
Maybe her feelings will change.
We still got time. - Yeah.
I mean, I've got some thinking to do.
I don't wanna make a rash, quick decision.
- Yeah, you should.

That I could be with for the rest of my life.

- Hey. Hey.
- Hello.
- It looks like you're ready to dance.
- Hey, how are you? - Looking so good.
- Clint and I did have an opportunity to talk.
Like, he apologized to me in the room.
He definitely came in more understanding
Than the last time that I had seen him.
And I was able to just clarify again
How that could be offensive not only to me,
But all the other females in the room.
- Well, I just wanna say, like, it's good
To, like, reconnect with everybody.
We're here in jamaica, like, last day, right?
- Yeah. - Last day.
- And it's been an experience.
- I'm pretty intrigued to see
What the hell clint's gonna say
After him and gina's blow-up.
Hopefully, you know,
He owns up to his mistake like a man.
It was wrong because gina definitely didn't--
She didn't deserve that moment.
- No.
- So I would love to address the table.
So-- - stand up, clint.
- Yeah. - I wanna hear you, bro.
- So I'm gonna stand up. I'ma stand up.
- Oh, wow. This is a--
- I'ma stand up because--
- My guy.
- This is a big address.
- So I think in the short period of time
That we've all been here,
I wanted to exude and exonerate,
Like, I'm front street.
I try to be as real as possible.
And sometimes, I say ridiculous, crazy comments.
- Oh, we know.
- And they're right off the cuff.
- Right. Right.
- You came out swinging strong and wrong.
[laughing]
- Strong and wrong.
Let's--let's focus on the wrong part.
- Let's focus on the wrong part.
- And so I said some comments last night
That were, like, off the cuff and in the moment.
And it wasn't to disparage anyone.
And so I talked about, like, slender and athletic.
And I don't think it hit the right way.
It was the wrong--
It was the wrong choice of words.
It was just to, like, try to give everybody
Some context of, like, where I've been
In my past life.
- I think it's disgusting what clint said.
And not only did he say it,
He didn't even think to apologize after.
He's a lot, and for me to say that,
That should speak volumes in itself.
- I wanna hear from gina in this moment.
- So we did talk about it.
And I will say he immediately apologized.
He was like, "I wholeheartedly apologize.
"like, I would never, ever wanna hurt your feelings
Or make you feel bad."
He was like, "you're obviously a very attractive woman.
Like, that's not at all what I meant."
And so it really just boils down to being mindful
Of, like, verbiage.
But for sure, when you're on the spot,
We've all probably been there where we might say something
And be like, "oh, [bleep]. That's actually not..."
- What I meant. - "what I meant."
And so for me, I'm a runner, right?
So like, I'm like, "I'm gone, see ya,"
If someone offends me or makes me feel that way.
So it was actually healthy
That we weren't able to do that.
We had to--we had to approach it head on.

And it's our last night of the honeymoon.
So if you had to rate your relationship

Everything combined, what would it be at leaving our honeymoon?

We had a few road things here.

There we go.

But it's not good in the relationship.
It's something I'm working on.
So trying to figure out how to convey to her,
You know, how I'm really feeling,
That's what I was looking for in a partner
To pull me out of my rut for being introverted.
There's always room to grow, considering
How we are emotionally, or at least I thought.
Mentally, physically, I think you're great.
I would say a 7 1/2.
- I could do that.
I can agree with that.
- I'll take it. [both laugh]
- So I would say, you know,
I wanna work up to a ten with you
And keep building on what we're doing now.
And hopefully, I get better at communicating
And you keep your patience with you.
- Thank god I coached those 12-year-olds last year.
[laughter]
I agree. Cheers.
Thank you for that.
- Honestly, I mean, this has been better
Than I expected, for sure.
Like, it was a crazy situation. You didn't know what to expect.
You didn't know who was coming down the aisle
And everything else.
And I was blown away with you.
I think it's been amazing.
So, like, I'm gonna go with a little different number.
I'm gonna go, like, 8.2, 8.2.
Kind of crazy. - I was gonna say 8.2.
Oh, my god.
- Chris gotta be the one-upper.

- You were gonna say 8.2? - 8.2.
- I mean, I did guess your name before.
- I honestly was going to say 8.2 as well.
I'm not just copying him.
However, I feel like when we do get back
To normal life and all of those daily natural things set in,
That's where we might kind of have our little battles.
So I don't feel comfortable giving it a higher number yet
Because we only know, like, 1%
Of all the things we need to know.
So honestly, I would rate our experience thus far
Almost a ten, but I'm rating our marriage as a whole 8.2
Because we just don't know enough about each other yet.
But I think we'll get there. - I do too.
- Nicole is a hard-hitting, like, new york woman.
And I know new york. And she's, like--
She's, through and through, who she is.
And chris is a little bit, like, passive.
So I think she's gonna take him for a ride.
I do. - Before we leave--
Before we leave jamaica?
- Well, I don't know, like, a sexual ride.
- Oh, I thought that's what you're--
That you're alluding to. - Well, could maybe be.
Could might be.

We really did. - Today?
- Yeah, today.
I know he likes to joke, and I feel
Like it's a time and a place for that.
- I can relate.
- Yeah, exactly.
But physically and emotionally,
I'll rate our relationship at a seven.
Things are going well right now.
We had so many things in common.
It just felt natural.
Like, we're almost the same person.
That could be a good thing, you know?
Hopefully, it will be.

Uh, I mean, it's a relief to hear that
Because for us to come back from where we were, like...
It was a tough situation.
It's not easy, especially in a short-term duration
Of having interactions with each other.
Anyhow, I have arrived at--
I've arrived at, like, a 5 1/2...

And now I feel like we're at a much healthier place
Because of that. - All right.

Where, like, usually, women aren't even allowed.

Where we come, we drink,
Talk about women.
We watch the games.
- This is Sunday night football?
- Sunday night football.
- So, like, when I said, sometimes on sundays
With the guys, we're not, like, at a sports bar.
It's usually just here.
- So, with you having, like, the man cave,
The gym downstairs,
It's, like, really obvious
That you definitely do need your me time
And that you enjoy taking the time.
- I told you I wasn't making this stuff up.
So when we get our place together after the apartment,
I'ma definitely need a man cave.

I'm gonna need a beauty room.

You got a beauty room.
I got a man cave. - Easy.
- All right. So I'll show you my room next.
- Okay. - All right.
I can just stumble over here and go to sleep.
- You have your shoe collection.
- Yeah. I mean, it's one of my things.
You know, my dad was into shoes.
I kind of picked up on that from him at a very young age.
And it kind of continued. So...
- That's why you needed that side of the closet
At the new place.
- That's why I need that side of the closet.
- [laughs] - yeah.
- I definitely expected him to have,
You know, a shoe collection.
I didn't expect him to be so neat and in boxes
And in clear cases and stuff like that.
But because his shoes are in boxes and organized,
I'm willing to give up some closet space
So that he can have more room for his shoes.
