- You never heard of the Big Bang?
- No.
- So I like Honeys vibes. She's chill.
I think she's like adorable, but at the same time
the conversation is kind of one-sided.
And another thing too, is that if we traveled to Mars,
we would kind of still be like around the same age.
And by the time we got back here,
everyone else would be old.
You age quicker here than you do there.
It all has to do with gravity.
- I don't really understand it.
But while he was explaining like, it could--it could be.
Yeah.
- Time is like an illusion.
So if you're on a planet,
you'll age because of the gravity.
But if you're just floating around outer space,
there's no gravity, so there's no time.
It's called the time space continuum.
- That's so interesting.
- Are you glad we got to do this?
- Hell yeah.
- It's okay.
I enjoyed our time. - I feel great.
I thought me and Vinny really connected.
He even gave me a forehead kiss,
and to me a forehead kiss
means so much more than an actual kiss,
because it feels so much more sincere to me.
Thank you.
- Thank you for being so warm
and cuddly too, I appreciate that.
- Of course. - I don't think me and Honey
so far have like a mental connection with each other.
This is what one-on-one dates are for.
Sometimes you find out
that you have this crazy physical connection,
and then sometimes you don't.
But I'm giving Honey and everyone
the benefit of the doubt.
I'll chill with Honey more.
Let's see if something more develops.
- In my mind, sometimes I feel like I'm having a hard time
getting Vinny's attention because I'm not the loud one.
But I feel like we have our eye contact.

I was like, I want you to know that I've been like trying
and like I actually do have a fun personality.
In the five seconds I'm like, Hi, I'm Bidisa. Bye.
And then I'm like, oh, great. I'm just like, yeah, hi.
- Listen, your personality might be so good
that all you need is five seconds.
- It's all I need. - Yeah, you know?
- This is the first time that Bidisa is pulling me aside
by herself to talk to me, so it's a good thing.
But it's also like, hmm, why haven't I spoken to you yet?
- Well, I just wanted to tell you like how much in my heart
like bloomed a million times for you.
So I just really wanted to tell you thank you for that.
Like, I'm coming for you. - Yeah, wow, that's cool.
Thank you. Let's go back in.

I let people come after me.
If I can't show who I am here,

I feel like I could be myself.
- Like, it's hard being here. - Yeah, it is hard.
But a setting where he has 17 other girlfriends,
it's just not my type of setting.

- Huge decision to make tonight.
- Yeah, where's your head at?

I haven't had connections with Abi.

Didn't expect this.
And I'm just sitting there kind of shocked.

I wish some of my ex-girlfriends
would have just eliminated themselves like Abi did.
- Take care of the girls. - I will. I will.

You don't even know if you're going home tonight.
I feel like she was just so set on that that she just said,

you know, they had the opportunity to cut me.
- That came out of nowhere. - Yeah.
- I have been there wanting to leave
before the process was over, and I feel like she struggled
with finding a connection with Vinny.
And if that meant just bowing out gracefully,
then I can respect her for that.
- I said, yo, this is like a two-way street.
You have to be feeling me too.
- It's kind of easy for you now
if they eliminate themselves like that, but.
- I do feel for her. Of course, I'm like, yeah,
that's one person down
but with Abi it was different because I liked her.
So I was, like, I feel for you, girl.
- Leaving, leaving? - Yeah.
- No way. What? - I got this.

That's it, she, you know, started overthinking,

I was like, just leave your stuff in the suitcases.

pack my [bleep] and leave?
- Yeah, you left like 4 times. - You left 19 times a day.
- Nine times, literally. - I wouldn't let her leave
'cause I knew that there was a connection there.

Let me start over.

- You know, I'm gonna try to make the best of it.
- I love that.
This is hard, every time I see their faces,
I know that they're worried.
I know that they don't want to go home but at the same time,
it's about focusing on what's important, finding love.
These dinners are to help me get my feeling straight.
Also, with me it's like
sharing a meal with someone is everything.
- How do you like your coffee?
- Iced coffee, usually, and some heavy cream.
- I love all sorts of coffee. I'm not even gonna lie.
I just love coffee in general like in the mornings,
I like to wake up with coffee, but you know, I do like
a little flavor in it, but just to get it going.
Like I'm okay with like regular coffee
with just like a splash of milk and sugar to get started.
But, you know, I like going to cool coffee shops,
like with my friends and especially like I've been
working from home for like the past year and a half.
So me my friends we work from home together.
So we'll go get a coffee or like a boba every day--

You know, it's not that expensive either--
- Did you just say boba? - I love boba.
- Let me tell you,
sending us home is going to be a wrong choice.

- I drink a lot of tea and coffee throughout the day.
- I have a question. - Yes, ma'am.
- How fully invested are you in this?
Like, would you put your whole heart
on the line for this, to find your one?

But I'm also realistic about checking in
and having certain stronger connections
with certain people.
Honey, you okay?

- Nothing.
- Well I don't want to put you on the spot,
but I'm putting you on the spot.
- Okay, let me just say it.
I'm just really [bleep] confused.
- About what?
- Because I thought we had a connection last night,
and I mean, I don't just cuddle with anyone.
And we were like literally
talking about the best thing ever.
The galaxy, the stars and all that.
And then here I am.
Well, these dinners are like, you know, just something to,
again, dial in a little bit more.
Just have dinner.
This is not a good way to like start this dinner off.
You know, Honey's pissed right off the bat.
- You're really gonna make me cry.
You start asking me questions.
I'm sad because the feeling of potentially getting rejected
and getting sent home is definitely not a good feeling.
I mean, I'm fully invested. That's why I'm here.
- Yeah. I'm gonna start being weird.
- You're not being weird.
- Yeah, I think all you are great.
Bidisa, I think that your energy is amazing.
I feel that it could just be a little surface level.
I think Bidisa's great and everything,
but these dinners are to see if there's like one last
like spark or connection that puts me beyond
like a friend vibe or anything like that.
And it's not really happening with Bidisa.
- I can't come like one minute into a conversation be,
like, okay, let's talk about our traumas.
Let's go. You know what I mean--
- That's what makes this all so hard.
Unfortunately, I just don't think there's a shot at love.
- Okay. - I'm so sorry.
- I'm sad that my shot at love is over.
But at the same time, it's all about
like the organic chemistry.
And if he wasn't feeling it, he wasn't feeling it.
I can be the perfect person.
But if you're at the wrong door,
then you're at the wrong door, you know?
- What happened? - I'm getting sent home.
- No. - Ohh.
- Bidisa, come on.
That was a little sad, because she's so nice,
but I don't think they have that type of connection.
- And that's okay. - That sucks.
- Are you okay? - Yeah, I'm okay.
- Okay.
- Each time I spend more time with you guys,
it's like, that was really hard.

I didn't know what to expect from you when I first saw you.
And we did have that really good date with each other.
I was talking a lot, I feel.

wow, I'm the exact same way so.
- Can you do me a favor?
Can you try to show it to me this week?
And will you continue this journey with me?
- Yes. - Okay. So let's do it.

the more I get to spend time with him,
and that's what keeps me intrigued
and wanting to be here more.
- And then there was two. - There was us.
- So I just wanted to talk to you.
- Thank you.
- Alone. - Okay. [chuckles]
I'm scared, I'm scared.
I want to stay because I want to get to know him more.
Of course, like I want to further this connection.
- I actually just wanted to like hang out
and chat with you. I think you're one
of the people that really understands the process.
- Yeah, like, I definitely like came into this and, like,
I truly, like, hate being vulnerable, like,
because I feel like once they see my vulnerability,
they see it as weakness in a way to,
like, take advantage.
But I knew coming into this I was, like,
I can't be like that in a situation.
It's just not gonna work.
You wanna talk about it now? Is that what we're doing?
- Yeah. - Okay. Yeah.
- That's what we're here for. - Yeah.
My parents, my mom had me, like, young,
like 19 and my dad, my sperm donor,
growing up, sleeping in the car,
homeless and, like,
I know I talk about it like so nonchalantly.
- Yeah, I wanna hold your hand. - Oh, thank you.
And I've created like a beautiful life for myself.
And I feel like that's what like really kept me through
and like the universe, if you're good to the universe,
it's going to be good back to you.
- Give me a hug. That's so awesome.
Thank you so much for sharing that.
- Thank you.
A kiss says a lot.
And it was just a little innocent,
you know, a little smooch, nothing too crazy,

And we had a good, good, good kiss.
It wasn't extra.
It wasn't too little. It wasn't too much.

or not, you know what I mean?

You know, it feels upsetting that a great girl
is going home tonight.

I'm like, all right, I still got Kayla here.
You know, the one that I want to get to know more,
the one that I have a connection with.

with a lot of ladies in this house.
Like, Peyton, Danielle, Erika, Akielia.
