00:18:24,937 --> 00:18:26,604
a lot of towering men.
518
00:18:26,688 --> 00:18:28,347
- I think I'm thinking
of somebody.
519
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,516
- Okay, Svetlana.
520
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,268
- She's got spice to her.
521
00:18:32,361 --> 00:18:34,278
Can't get a guy who's sensitive.
522
00:18:34,437 --> 00:18:36,438
- I like her.
I don't think spice is bad.
523
00:18:36,523 --> 00:18:39,200
I like this dude.
524
00:18:39,284 --> 00:18:41,610
He's one of the nicest guys
I've seen in a long time.
525

He's in great shape
and his house is immaculate.
526
00:18:45,448 --> 00:18:47,032
- Patricia.
527
00:18:47,126 --> 00:18:49,034
If we have somebody
who's not much of a talker,
528
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,878
this is the woman for him.
529
00:18:51,037 --> 00:18:52,454
- Okay, let me talk about Erin.
530
00:18:52,548 --> 00:18:54,206
She has a beautiful little condo
531
00:18:54,291 --> 00:18:56,134
that she bought herself.
532
00:18:56,218 --> 00:18:57,710
It's all beautifully done.
533
00:18:57,803 --> 00:19:00,388
- I was hoping that her place
was put together
534
00:19:00,472 --> 00:19:02,056
'cause she seems put together.
- Yeah.
535
00:19:02,215 --> 00:19:03,391
- It is.
- Well, good.
536
00:19:03,475 --> 00:19:05,476
- The lovely Katina.
- She's beautiful.
537
00:19:05,635 --> 00:19:07,311
And she's also
a lovely human being.
538
00:19:07,396 --> 00:19:10,731
- Yeah, I think that a lot
of these guys described her.
539
00:19:10,816 --> 00:19:15,236
- I get home,
family, egalitarian.
540
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,146
She's not
traditional-traditional.
541
00:19:17,230 --> 00:19:20,074
But just a really nice person
to be around.
542
00:19:20,159 --> 00:19:21,984
- I liked Chris
when we first met him,
543
00:19:22,068 --> 00:19:24,737
but I liked him even more
when I visited his home.
544
00:19:24,821 --> 00:19:27,156
He's a very bright,
attractive person.
545
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,584
Good sense of humor.
Very ambitious guy.
546
00:19:29,743 --> 00:19:31,911
He asks a lot of himself,
547
00:19:31,995 --> 00:19:34,330
and I think he wants someone
to, you know,
548
00:19:34,423 --> 00:19:36,007
kind of have fun
in the world with.
549
00:19:36,091 --> 00:19:38,167
I think he'd make
a great husband
550
00:19:38,251 --> 00:19:39,844
and people would have
an interesting life with him.
551
00:19:39,928 --> 00:19:42,013
So I'm high on Chris.
552
00:19:42,172 --> 00:19:43,672
- I think we should
find him a match.
553
00:19:43,757 --> 00:19:45,933
- Jasmina.
554
00:19:46,018 --> 00:19:47,518
I could have talked to her,
you know,
555
00:19:47,603 --> 00:19:50,688
a long time
because she's so real.
556
00:19:50,772 --> 00:19:54,266
And I love the fact that she is
very comfortable with herself.
557
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,936
She wants someone who's kind,
someone who treats her well.
558
00:19:57,020 --> 00:19:58,946
She just wants someone
who's just a good husband.
559
00:19:59,105 --> 00:20:00,606
- I hope we have
someone for her.
560
00:20:00,690 --> 00:20:02,283
- Yeah.
- We have Lindsey,
561
00:20:02,367 --> 00:20:05,036
who is a ball of energy.
562
00:20:05,195 --> 00:20:06,704
- I think she's
an intelligent person.
563
00:20:06,863 --> 00:20:09,123
She's a nurse.
A caretaker type.
564
00:20:09,208 --> 00:20:11,033
- She needs a guy with energy
who can keep up with her.
565
00:20:11,126 --> 00:20:13,377
- Alyssa, she's really pleasant.
566
00:20:13,462 --> 00:20:15,463
- You know, I have this term,
sort of "universal donor."
567
00:20:15,547 --> 00:20:17,790
That is, I can think
of quite a few men
568
00:20:17,883 --> 00:20:20,051
that would be extremely happy
to be with her,
569
00:20:20,135 --> 00:20:21,636
and I think she with them.
570
00:20:21,795 --> 00:20:23,804
- I like this guy.
571
00:20:23,889 --> 00:20:28,884
Olajuwon is
such a bright spirit.
572
00:20:28,969 --> 00:20:30,561
This guy has bought a home.
573
00:20:30,646 --> 00:20:32,230
He's getting a raise in his job.
574
00:20:32,389 --> 00:20:33,973
So he knows
where he's going in life.
575
00:20:34,066 --> 00:20:36,984
I think he would really work
to make a marriage work.
576
00:20:37,069 --> 00:20:38,402
I think he really would.
577
00:20:38,487 --> 00:20:40,813
- He was so emotionally intense.
578
00:20:40,906 --> 00:20:43,482
- But he's very--he wears
his heart on his sleeve.
579
00:20:43,575 --> 00:20:45,243
If he's mad, you know it.
If he's happy, you know it.
580
00:20:45,327 --> 00:20:47,328
- But I think what
comes through is his sweetness.
581
00:20:47,412 --> 00:20:48,829
- Yeah.
- And that's important to me.
582
00:20:48,914 --> 00:20:51,573

This is his second time.

committed, dedicated guy
585
00:20:59,082 --> 00:21:01,008

in this process.
586

and a family going.

- Ew.
- They're, like, his babies.
593

one cat lover among them, but--

who want kids, like,
within the next year.
604
00:21:36,962 --> 00:21:38,379
- Yeah, within the next
couple years, I think,

I really enjoyed him.
He's intelligent.

- He wants somebody
younger, though.
612
00:21:53,478 --> 00:21:54,979
- Yes.
Does that differentiate him
613
00:21:55,063 --> 00:21:56,221
from a lot of men?

Especially after they moved
to the U.S.
1024
00:38:09,278 --> 00:38:11,612
and just seeing
what they've built.
1025
00:38:11,706 --> 00:38:13,698
- Mm-hmm.
- They worked so hard
1026
00:38:13,782 --> 00:38:16,793
and they still had
this successful marriage.
1027
00:38:16,952 --> 00:38:19,296
It makes me emotional, but--
- Really? Why?
1028
00:38:19,380 --> 00:38:21,715
- 'Cause I just
love them so much.
1029
00:38:21,799 --> 00:38:24,050
I think a part
of their success story
1030
00:38:24,135 --> 00:38:27,554
is seeing their kids grow up
and be happy.
1031
00:38:27,713 --> 00:38:30,807
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
1032
00:38:30,891 --> 00:38:33,059
- Tell me, what specifically
are you missing out on
1033
00:38:33,218 --> 00:38:34,802
as a single person?
1034
00:38:34,887 --> 00:38:38,056
- Yeah, I just want to be able
to count on someone
1035
00:38:38,140 --> 00:38:39,557
day in and day out.
1036
00:38:39,650 --> 00:38:42,902
And someone who wants to spend
their time with me
1037
00:38:42,987 --> 00:38:45,822
and wants to create
new memories with me.
1038
00:38:45,981 --> 00:38:47,732
- You know,
after I did the home visit,
1039
00:38:47,825 --> 00:38:49,242
I liked her more.
1040
00:38:49,327 --> 00:38:50,910
Her situation is
kind of interesting
1041
00:38:50,995 --> 00:38:53,905
because she comes
from very tough times.
1042
00:38:53,989 --> 00:38:56,324
I mean, she grew up
pretty much impoverished.
1043
00:38:56,417 --> 00:38:58,326
So that's sort of
like a driving force.
1044
00:38:58,410 --> 00:38:59,502
She wants to build a family.
1045
00:38:59,587 --> 00:39:01,504
She wants
to make her family proud.
1046
00:39:01,589 --> 00:39:03,247
And I just thought
she was lovely.
1047
00:39:03,332 --> 00:39:05,508
- I did too,
and I respect people
1048
00:39:05,667 --> 00:39:08,086
who come from that
immigrant experience,
1049
00:39:08,170 --> 00:39:10,588
where everybody has to help
towards survival.
1050
00:39:10,681 --> 00:39:11,931
- Oh, absolutely.
1051
00:39:12,016 --> 00:39:13,841
- I mean, you start off
in a refugee camp,
1052
00:39:13,926 --> 00:39:17,261
and that's a huge part
of what somebody needs to get.
1053
00:39:17,346 --> 00:39:19,689
She needs stability.
1054
00:39:19,774 --> 00:39:22,442
She needs somebody
who can help provide stability.
1055
00:39:22,526 --> 00:39:24,444
- Yeah.
- And I don't want to minimize
1056
00:39:24,528 --> 00:39:27,530
the fact that she's also
a very intelligent young woman.
1057
00:39:27,689 --> 00:39:29,282
- Yes, she is.
- And we need someone
1058
00:39:29,367 --> 00:39:31,609
who can also appeal
to her intellectually.
1059
00:39:31,693 --> 00:39:35,038
- So who do we have
that's good enough for Noi?
1060
00:39:35,197 --> 00:39:37,615
- I know exactly who.
I visited him.
1061
00:39:37,699 --> 00:39:39,867
Steve.
1062
00:39:39,952 --> 00:39:42,212
- I think Steve is exceptional.
1063
00:39:42,296 --> 00:39:44,956
- He's adventuresome.
Intelligent.
1064
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,792
I mean, he loves family,
has a huge family.
1065
00:39:47,876 --> 00:39:50,804
Now, okay, I'm going
against Pepper, though.
1066
00:39:50,963 --> 00:39:52,055
Do not criticize me.
1067
00:39:52,214 --> 00:39:55,975
Because he is not
currently employed.
1068
00:39:56,135 --> 00:39:57,644
[music dies down]
1069
00:39:57,728 --> 00:40:00,480
- He is jobless?
- He is jobless, okay?
1070
00:40:00,564 --> 00:40:02,315
But due to COVID,
he was laid off.
1071
00:40:02,474 --> 00:40:04,392
But he's not unemployable.
1072
00:40:04,476 --> 00:40:05,893
♪ ♪
1073
00:40:05,986 --> 00:40:07,812
- ♪ Woke up feelin' blessed ♪
1074
00:40:07,896 --> 00:40:09,239
- So tell me,
why are you traveling so much?
1075
00:40:09,323 --> 00:40:10,731
I mean, what's going on?
1076
00:40:10,816 --> 00:40:13,993
- So my last position
was a sales engineer.
1077
00:40:14,078 --> 00:40:16,654
And I was thinking
about working remotely,
1078
00:40:16,738 --> 00:40:18,156
because it was just hard
to picture
1079
00:40:18,240 --> 00:40:20,667
another COVID winter in Boston.
1080
00:40:20,826 --> 00:40:23,586
So I just thought, you know,
I'll bring my laptop somewhere,
1081
00:40:23,745 --> 00:40:25,672
maybe Florida, California,
somewhere sunny,
1082
00:40:25,831 --> 00:40:27,924
and just work from there.
1083
00:40:28,008 --> 00:40:30,668
And just as I was starting
to gear up in that direction,
1084
00:40:30,761 --> 00:40:32,345
the layoffs happened,
1085
00:40:32,430 --> 00:40:34,097
and then I just decided
to hit the road at that point.
1086
00:40:34,256 --> 00:40:36,266
It just allowed me
to go to the beach
1087
00:40:36,425 --> 00:40:38,268
and also take some time
to work on myself.
1088
00:40:38,427 --> 00:40:40,854
Self-development type of work,
you know?
1089
00:40:40,938 --> 00:40:43,356
So the way I, you know--
The way I feel is basically,
1090
00:40:43,441 --> 00:40:45,850
those four months were
really me learning,
1091
00:40:45,943 --> 00:40:48,269
growing, thinking
about the past year or two,
1092
00:40:48,353 --> 00:40:50,530
reflecting, and deciding
what I want to do next
1093
00:40:50,614 --> 00:40:52,106
in regaining my energy
1094
00:40:52,191 --> 00:40:53,783
so that when I get home,
I can hit the ground running.
1095
00:40:53,942 --> 00:40:55,368
- If you're married
at first sight,
1096
00:40:55,453 --> 00:40:58,621
what will you tell
your potential wife,
1097
00:40:58,780 --> 00:41:01,616
as far as your future
financial plans?
1098
00:41:01,709 --> 00:41:03,284
- I mean, you know, I can always
1099
00:41:03,368 --> 00:41:05,119
find a way
to make it work, you know?
1100
00:41:05,204 --> 00:41:07,455
I can do some freelance jobs
or I can get back into,
1101
00:41:07,539 --> 00:41:09,874
you know, a career
once I understand and know
1102
00:41:09,967 --> 00:41:11,468
where--you know, when
the right time is for that.
1103
00:41:11,552 --> 00:41:12,802
- You don't have any fears
1104
00:41:12,961 --> 00:41:14,462
about whether or not
you can make money?
1105
00:41:14,546 --> 00:41:15,880
- Not at all.
- Really?
1106
00:41:15,964 --> 00:41:17,223
- Yeah.
- Okay.
1107
00:41:17,308 --> 00:41:18,716
- Yeah, there's always
ways to make money.
1108
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,143
- Why do you feel like
you're ready for marriage?
1109
00:41:20,302 --> 00:41:22,061
- Well, you know,
I've definitely hit
1110
00:41:22,221 --> 00:41:23,471
a lot of my life goals.
1111
00:41:23,564 --> 00:41:24,722
But this is something--
You know,
1112
00:41:24,806 --> 00:41:26,641
a big missing piece in my life,
1113
00:41:26,734 --> 00:41:28,568
and it is something
I look forward to.
1114
00:41:28,652 --> 00:41:31,070
You know, I spend a lot of time
with my nieces and nephews
1115
00:41:31,155 --> 00:41:32,897
and, you know,
I'm their Funcle Steve, so--
1116
00:41:32,981 --> 00:41:34,240
- Funcle Steve?
- Yeah.
1117
00:41:34,325 --> 00:41:36,493
I also, you know,
am excited to, you know,
1118
00:41:36,577 --> 00:41:38,077
bring my kids one day
1119
00:41:38,162 --> 00:41:40,071
around to my brothers
and sisters as well.
1120
00:41:40,155 --> 00:41:41,581
- Well, why are you single?
1121
00:41:41,740 --> 00:41:43,658
- I haven't found someone
who's in the same place as me
1122
00:41:43,742 --> 00:41:45,409
and is looking to build
the same future as me.
1123
00:41:45,494 --> 00:41:47,337
Like, some of the biggest times
1124
00:41:47,421 --> 00:41:48,838
I've grown is in a relationship,
1125
00:41:48,997 --> 00:41:50,673
so I'm looking for someone
to grow with as well.
1126
00:41:50,832 --> 00:41:52,083
- Okay.
Thank you for your honesty,
1127
00:41:52,167 --> 00:41:53,676
and I learned a lot.
1128
00:41:55,346 --> 00:41:57,764
- Having somebody who doesn't
have regular income
1129
00:41:57,848 --> 00:41:59,599
in a married
at first sight situation
1130
00:41:59,683 --> 00:42:02,093
is at a deficit.
1131
00:42:02,177 --> 00:42:04,020
I know.
- Mm-hmm. I know.
1132
00:42:04,104 --> 00:42:05,846
- We're gonna go
back to the past.
1133
00:42:05,931 --> 00:42:08,858
- Yes, we'll go there.
- I think this guy's terrific.
1134
00:42:08,943 --> 00:42:11,852
And I think
your point's well taken.
1135
00:42:11,937 --> 00:42:14,781
But I think Steve would be
a great match for Noi.
1136
00:42:14,865 --> 00:42:17,191
I think there's a lot of things
that they connect on.
1137
00:42:17,284 --> 00:42:19,026
Family's really important
to them.
1138
00:42:19,111 --> 00:42:21,037
And they have a cultural tie
1139
00:42:21,196 --> 00:42:23,698
in how important
family traditions are.
1140
00:42:23,782 --> 00:42:25,625
She wants an expressive man,
1141
00:42:25,784 --> 00:42:28,294
and he talked about getting
more in tune with his emotions
1142
00:42:28,379 --> 00:42:32,048
as he got older,
but he's also got a degree.
1143
00:42:32,207 --> 00:42:35,042
He's had a good track record
of working.
1144
00:42:35,127 --> 00:42:37,387
If he were any less impressive
as a human being,
1145
00:42:37,471 --> 00:42:39,130
I would say forget it.
1146
00:42:39,223 --> 00:42:40,974
There's a lot of little things
that, you know,
1147
00:42:41,058 --> 00:42:42,633
maybe they're not high
in my hit parade,
1148
00:42:42,726 --> 00:42:45,144
but I think she really wanted
somebody very tall.
1149
00:42:45,304 --> 00:42:46,896
- Mm-hmm.
- He's tall.
1150
00:42:46,981 --> 00:42:49,065
I think they both
wanted somebody
1151
00:42:49,149 --> 00:42:54,061
who was fun and adventurous
and could be silly and goofy.
1152
00:42:54,154 --> 00:42:56,573
And here he is,
the Funcle, you know?
1153
00:42:56,732 --> 00:43:00,577
Where, you know,
that sort of certifies him
1154
00:43:00,661 --> 00:43:02,745
not just as a fun partner,
1155
00:43:02,904 --> 00:43:06,749
but, you know,
maybe as a fun father.
1156
00:43:06,834 --> 00:43:08,501
And I think this is a guy
to invest in.
1157
00:43:08,586 --> 00:43:10,077
- He's definitely ready
for marriage.
1158
00:43:10,170 --> 00:43:12,088
He has vision,
he knows what he wants,
1159
00:43:12,172 --> 00:43:13,831
he knows where he's going,
1160
00:43:13,915 --> 00:43:16,259
and he's ready to settle down
and do the work.
1161
00:43:16,418 --> 00:43:18,261
- Now, there's one thing
that I can't decide
1162
00:43:18,345 --> 00:43:19,762
if it's pro or con.
1163
00:43:19,847 --> 00:43:20,930
- What's that?
- Okay.
1164
00:43:22,433 --> 00:43:24,425
- Well, her name
might be Noi Moy.
1165
00:43:24,518 --> 00:43:26,269
[laughter]
- I know, right?
1166
00:43:26,353 --> 00:43:29,522
- That's so--you either love it
or you don't.
1167
00:43:29,681 --> 00:43:32,025
- Oh, my goodness, she might be
keeping her last name.
1168
00:43:32,109 --> 00:43:34,527
- I know. Noi Moy.
1169
00:43:34,612 --> 00:43:36,437
- Oh, my goodness.
1170
00:43:36,530 --> 00:43:38,114
- So I believe that we all agree
1171
00:43:38,273 --> 00:43:41,359
that we have a match
with Noi and Steve.
1172
00:43:41,443 --> 00:43:42,702
- Let's make it official.
1173
00:43:42,786 --> 00:43:44,445
- We have our third couple.
1174
00:43:44,529 --> 00:43:46,789
- Let's do it. Let's do this.
I think this is good.
1175
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:48,124
- Three down, two to go.
1176
00:43:53,547 --> 00:43:55,539
♪ Will you love me tomorrow? ♪
1177
00:43:55,624 --> 00:43:58,468
- All right,
let's keep matching.
1178
00:43:58,627 --> 00:44:01,137
- Let's talk about Michael.
I visited this guy.
1179
00:44:01,296 --> 00:44:03,056
First of all,
he's a physical trainer.
1180
00:44:03,140 --> 00:44:05,391
He's got, like, major guns.
He's--
1181
00:44:05,550 --> 00:44:06,893
- Major.
- Oh, my gosh.
1182
00:44:06,977 --> 00:44:08,386
He's a motivator.
1183
00:44:08,470 --> 00:44:10,229
I mean, he likes
encouraging people
1184
00:44:10,314 --> 00:44:12,390
and trying to bring people up.
1185
00:44:12,474 --> 00:44:14,651
Now, here's the thing:
he comes from a family
1186
00:44:14,735 --> 00:44:16,903
of four sisters, which is great,
1187
00:44:16,987 --> 00:44:19,322
because he knows how
to be around and treat women.
1188
00:44:19,406 --> 00:44:22,066
- I love it. I love a man
with lots of sisters.

they'd be great together

1341

that she will feel good about.

00:50:51,623 --> 00:50:52,715
- Yes.
- Absolutely.
1358
00:50:52,874 --> 00:50:54,124
- You know,
let's talk about Alyssa.
1359
00:50:54,217 --> 00:50:55,217
- Okay.
1360
00:50:55,302 --> 00:50:58,045
- She rescues dogs.
1361
00:50:58,129 --> 00:51:01,298
She's been into animal rescue
for years.
1362
00:51:01,382 --> 00:51:04,468
That speaks a lot
to who she is as a person.
1363
00:51:04,561 --> 00:51:07,730
- ♪ Throw your hands up
if you a freak like me ♪
1364
00:51:07,889 --> 00:51:11,150
- First of all, okay,
you work in animal rescue.
1365
00:51:11,234 --> 00:51:13,060
- I've been rescuing animals,
like, my whole life.
1366
00:51:13,144 --> 00:51:14,645
- Really?
1367
00:51:14,729 --> 00:51:16,730
- And, you know, I'd find
a stray dog on the street
1368
00:51:16,815 --> 00:51:20,150
or a hurt bird
and I would help them.
1369
00:51:20,235 --> 00:51:22,745
And then I've always loved dogs.
1370
00:51:22,904 --> 00:51:25,656
- So you have a serious
humanitarian side of you.
1371
00:51:25,740 --> 00:51:28,250
And does that lead to you
having a big heart?
1372
00:51:28,409 --> 00:51:29,919
- Oh, yeah.
- Does that lead to you
1373
00:51:30,078 --> 00:51:33,506
also having a heart
that gets hurt?
1374
00:51:33,590 --> 00:51:35,415
- Oh, yeah. Of course.
1375
00:51:35,500 --> 00:51:36,592
- Okay.
1376
00:51:36,676 --> 00:51:38,094
Let's talk
a little bit about that.
1377
00:51:38,253 --> 00:51:40,596
You broke up with--
In a relationship recently.
1378
00:51:40,755 --> 00:51:42,339
Well, not recently,
about a year ago.
1379
00:51:42,423 --> 00:51:43,599
- A little over a year.
1380
00:51:43,683 --> 00:51:45,259
- He broke up with you?
- Yes.
1381
00:51:45,352 --> 00:51:47,103
- How long were you together?
1382
00:51:47,262 --> 00:51:49,438
- We were together
for two and a half years.
1383
00:51:49,523 --> 00:51:51,765
- Did he tell you why?
1384
00:51:51,850 --> 00:51:54,184
- No. Not really.
1385
00:51:54,277 --> 00:51:56,436
- I mean, there had to be
some warning signs, Alyssa.
1386
00:51:56,530 --> 00:51:59,773
- He took me ring shopping.
1387
00:51:59,866 --> 00:52:01,275
- Huh?
- And I never got a ring.
1388
00:52:01,359 --> 00:52:03,360
- What?
- [laughs] Yeah.
1389
00:52:03,444 --> 00:52:05,195
♪ ♪
1390
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:08,699
- Do you feel like the strings
are absolutely cut from him
1391
00:52:08,783 --> 00:52:10,450
and that you're over him?
1392
00:52:10,535 --> 00:52:11,961
- Oh, yeah.
Obviously, in the beginning,
1393
00:52:12,045 --> 00:52:13,704
it was very hard
because you thought
1394
00:52:13,788 --> 00:52:16,132
you were gonna spend
your life with this person.
1395
00:52:16,291 --> 00:52:18,884
But then as I came
to really think about it
1396
00:52:18,969 --> 00:52:20,878
and did, like,
so much work on myself,
1397
00:52:20,971 --> 00:52:24,223
I was like, you know,
why was I living like that?
1398
00:52:24,382 --> 00:52:28,135
And so I'm so much happier
1399
00:52:28,219 --> 00:52:31,054
to be out of that situation.
1400
00:52:31,148 --> 00:52:34,308
- Okay. Well, good.
You're ready to be a wife?
1401
00:52:34,392 --> 00:52:36,152
- I'm so ready to be a wife.
1402
00:52:36,236 --> 00:52:38,320
I think after me
and my ex broke up,
1403
00:52:38,479 --> 00:52:40,489
I knew exactly
what I wanted in somebody.
1404
00:52:40,648 --> 00:52:43,909
And I knew what I had
to offer somebody.
1405
00:52:43,994 --> 00:52:47,988
Honesty and loyalty
and kindness.
1406
00:52:48,072 --> 00:52:50,666
And I'm always willing to go
1407
00:52:50,750 --> 00:52:54,253
110% for a relationship.
1408
00:52:54,412 --> 00:52:57,748
- What specific things are you
looking for in a husband?
1409
00:52:57,841 --> 00:52:59,675
- Well, someone cute. [laughs]
- Someone cute?
1410
00:52:59,759 --> 00:53:01,335
- Someone cute.
- "Someone cute."
1411
00:53:01,428 --> 00:53:03,337
- Someone so cute.
- Okay.
1412
00:53:03,421 --> 00:53:04,847
- Someone who's, like, kind
1413
00:53:05,006 --> 00:53:08,017
and compassionate
and loves animals.
1414
00:53:08,176 --> 00:53:11,270
- Where does
financial success come?
1415
00:53:11,354 --> 00:53:12,846
- I mean, obviously,
I would like them
1416
00:53:12,931 --> 00:53:16,433
to have a good career
that they enjoy and they love.
1417
00:53:16,517 --> 00:53:18,360
But is it
the most important thing?
1418
00:53:18,519 --> 00:53:19,603
No.
1419
00:53:19,687 --> 00:53:21,030
- You wouldn't say
it's number one?
1420
00:53:21,114 --> 00:53:24,441
- No. I think that in where
I want to go in life,
1421
00:53:24,534 --> 00:53:26,035
I would want that person
1422
00:53:26,194 --> 00:53:29,872
to be on that track
to also go that way.
1423
00:53:29,956 --> 00:53:31,540
- Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.
- Yeah.
1424
00:53:31,699 --> 00:53:35,044
- All right. Great.
I think we're good.
1425
00:53:35,203 --> 00:53:37,880
She loves, you know,
what she does
1426
00:53:37,964 --> 00:53:39,632
as far as rescuing dogs.
1427
00:53:39,716 --> 00:53:42,968
So knowing this about her,
I think we need to find someone
1428
00:53:43,053 --> 00:53:44,878
who at least loves animals...
1429
00:53:44,971 --> 00:53:46,713
- 100%.
- As much as she does.
1430
00:53:46,806 --> 00:53:48,140
That's a big deal.
- Yeah.
1431
00:53:48,225 --> 00:53:49,466
- And who's also very
career-orientated.
1432
00:53:49,559 --> 00:53:50,968
- Yeah.
1433
00:53:51,052 --> 00:53:52,728
- She has big plans for herself.
1434
00:53:52,812 --> 00:53:55,397
She needs someone driven,
ambitious,
1435
00:53:55,482 --> 00:53:56,982
and who's a goal-getter,
you know?
1436
00:53:57,067 --> 00:53:59,726
That's just how she is.
- Yeah, it is.
1437
00:53:59,811 --> 00:54:01,979
- She thinks she wants to be
part of a power couple.
1438
00:54:02,063 --> 00:54:04,990
- I think you guys know,
I like Chris for Alyssa.
1439
00:54:05,075 --> 00:54:07,076
- One thing I really like
about Chris,
1440
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:08,494
he's so optimistic.
1441
00:54:08,578 --> 00:54:11,747
He's positive.
He's a "can do" kind of guy.
1442
00:54:11,831 --> 00:54:13,082
He's an entrepreneur.
1443
00:54:13,241 --> 00:54:16,752
He's just really got his eye
on the prize.
1444
00:54:16,836 --> 00:54:20,089
He's marching steadily forward
in a very optimistic
1445
00:54:20,248 --> 00:54:22,925
and very pleasant way
to be around.
1446
00:54:23,009 --> 00:54:25,511
- ♪ I feel like a CEO ♪
1447
00:54:25,670 --> 00:54:28,097
♪ When I walk in the room,
I'm a boss, you should know ♪
1448
00:54:28,256 --> 00:54:31,675
- Nice size living room.
Dog. We have a dog.
1449
00:54:31,768 --> 00:54:33,093
- I don't have a dog.
1450
00:54:33,177 --> 00:54:34,511
I wanted sort of
a dog of my own.
1451
00:54:34,595 --> 00:54:36,346
I still do want a dog my own.
1452
00:54:36,431 --> 00:54:38,190
- This is a dog-in-waiting?
- Dog-in-waiting.
1453
00:54:38,275 --> 00:54:39,516
So bought all the stuff,
1454
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:41,685
but don't have a dog
to put in it just yet.
1455
00:54:41,769 --> 00:54:43,854
- Pregnant with puppy. Okay.
- Yeah. [laughs]
1456
00:54:43,938 --> 00:54:48,033
- Well, let's sit down
and talk seriously
1457
00:54:48,118 --> 00:54:50,193
about who you are.
1458
00:54:50,287 --> 00:54:53,622
- I feel like I'm a ambitious
glass-half-full kind of guy.
1459
00:54:53,707 --> 00:54:55,532
I have lofty goals.
1460
00:54:55,616 --> 00:54:58,452
- Are they so lofty
that no woman can fulfill
1461
00:54:58,545 --> 00:55:00,620
what you want out of a woman?
1462
00:55:00,705 --> 00:55:02,789
- I don't think
it's unreasonable, necessarily,
1463
00:55:02,882 --> 00:55:04,717
what I'm looking for in a woman.
1464
00:55:04,801 --> 00:55:07,720
I want somebody who is positive,
1465
00:55:07,804 --> 00:55:12,049
who's optimistic, adventurous,
somebody who's flexible,
1466
00:55:12,133 --> 00:55:14,384
who has sort of a growth
verse a fixed mindset.
1467
00:55:14,469 --> 00:55:15,978
It's not "I can't do that."
1468
00:55:16,137 --> 00:55:17,637
It's "I can't do that yet,
but let's figure it out.
1469
00:55:17,722 --> 00:55:18,722
Let's go try it.
Let's have fun."
1470
00:55:18,806 --> 00:55:20,482
- Are you emotionally available?
1471
00:55:20,641 --> 00:55:22,476
Do you let a woman
see what's inside of you,
1472
00:55:22,569 --> 00:55:24,394
what's insecure, what's hurt?
1473
00:55:24,487 --> 00:55:27,072
- I like to think that I have
high emotional intelligence
1474
00:55:27,157 --> 00:55:28,815
and that I'm really good
at being vulnerable.
1475
00:55:28,900 --> 00:55:30,317
It wasn't always like that.
1476
00:55:30,401 --> 00:55:32,986
I think I've gotten better
at listening and hearing
1477
00:55:33,079 --> 00:55:36,406
and trying to ask
the sorts of questions
1478
00:55:36,491 --> 00:55:38,167
that will tell me
what somebody is thinking
1479
00:55:38,326 --> 00:55:39,918
or how they're really feeling
deep down.
1480
00:55:40,003 --> 00:55:44,340
- What I really like about you
is, you don't give answers
1481
00:55:44,499 --> 00:55:46,333
that are just trying
to be pleasing.
1482
00:55:46,417 --> 00:55:48,085
You say where you are
and what you want,
1483
00:55:48,169 --> 00:55:50,512
how you feel, and that helps us.
1484
00:55:50,671 --> 00:55:53,590
- I feel like
if I'm gonna marry somebody,
1485
00:55:53,674 --> 00:55:55,434
it's better to be honest than--
1486
00:55:55,518 --> 00:55:57,853
- That's 100% necessary.
- Yeah.
1487
00:55:57,937 --> 00:55:59,346
- Better not to get married
at all
1488
00:55:59,439 --> 00:56:00,430
than to get the wrong person.
1489
00:56:00,515 --> 00:56:02,107
♪ ♪
1490
00:56:02,192 --> 00:56:03,525
- I feel like Chris and Alyssa
1491
00:56:03,684 --> 00:56:05,110
have pretty much
matched themselves.
1492
00:56:05,195 --> 00:56:07,780
They want
what the other person has.
1493
00:56:07,864 --> 00:56:09,365
- Yeah.
- They both have big hearts
1494
00:56:09,524 --> 00:56:11,691
when it comes
to animals and family.
1495
00:56:11,785 --> 00:56:13,610
They both want to achieve
amazing things
1496
00:56:13,703 --> 00:56:15,112
in their careers.
1497
00:56:15,196 --> 00:56:17,539
They're easy to be around.
They're easy to talk to.
1498
00:56:17,624 --> 00:56:19,124
I mean, the list goes on and on.
1499
00:56:19,209 --> 00:56:22,536
- He checks off
all of her desires--
1500
00:56:22,620 --> 00:56:24,287
- Yeah.
- And vice versa.
1501
00:56:24,372 --> 00:56:26,540
- I think I remember him
talking about wanting
1502
00:56:26,633 --> 00:56:28,375
somebody who was independent,
1503
00:56:28,468 --> 00:56:30,552
who had their own life.
- Yes.
1504
00:56:30,637 --> 00:56:31,962
- And that's for sure
who she is.
1505
00:56:32,046 --> 00:56:33,380
- She's definitely independent.
1506
00:56:33,473 --> 00:56:35,557
- I just think
there's a lot of things
1507
00:56:35,642 --> 00:56:37,559
that they both have said
they want.
1508
00:56:37,718 --> 00:56:39,469
- Yeah.
- I think we got a couple here.
1509
00:56:39,562 --> 00:56:40,979
- Yeah, and just like
with all our couples,
1510
00:56:41,064 --> 00:56:42,639
if they put in the work,
I think we'll have something.
1511
00:56:42,723 --> 00:56:44,724
- Let's make it official.
1512
00:56:44,809 --> 00:56:47,144
I think we have our fifth
and final couple,
1513
00:56:47,237 --> 00:56:48,404
Alyssa and Chris.
1514
00:56:48,488 --> 00:56:49,813
- Yes.
- Yes!
1515
00:56:49,897 --> 00:56:52,324
- We do. Alyssa and Chris.
1516
00:56:52,409 --> 00:56:55,160
- We did it.
- Yes.
1517
00:56:55,245 --> 00:56:57,821
I believe that Boston
is gonna give us
1518
00:56:57,914 --> 00:57:00,073
our first five-for-five.
1519
00:57:00,158 --> 00:57:03,577
- We have Lindsey and Mark,
Katina and Olajuwon,
1520
00:57:03,670 --> 00:57:06,839
Jasmina and Michael,
Noi and Steve,
1521
00:57:06,998 --> 00:57:08,841
and Alyssa and Chris.
1522
00:57:08,925 --> 00:57:10,175
You know what
we have to do next.
1523
00:57:10,334 --> 00:57:11,918
