1
00:00:26,234 --> 00:00:31,156
{\an8}My physical insecurities
have definitely affected my dating life.

2
00:00:31,239 --> 00:00:34,492
This experiment allows me to be judged

3
00:00:34,576 --> 00:00:37,370
for who I am
as a person versus the physical.

4
00:00:50,425 --> 00:00:53,136
{\an8}My dating experience has sucked.

5
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,556
I'm here because I'm looking for the one,

6
00:00:56,639 --> 00:01:00,894
the one who loves me for my personality,
and not what I look like.

7
00:01:00,977 --> 00:01:02,062
And I hope I find him.

8
00:01:14,365 --> 00:01:17,243
{\an8}I'm getting to know
someone's heart before anything else.

9
00:01:24,292 --> 00:01:28,838
{\an8}I'm ready for marriage,
but I've never felt true love in my life.

10
00:01:28,922 --> 00:01:32,675
I don't think I ever said to anyone,
"I love you," except my mom.

11
00:01:59,869 --> 00:02:01,955
{\an8}It's so cute in here.

12
00:02:03,414 --> 00:02:04,457
{\an8}Hi!

13
00:02:04,541 --> 00:02:06,251
-Hey!

14
00:02:07,418 --> 00:02:09,170
-Hey. What's up, guys?
-Not much.

15
00:02:09,254 --> 00:02:10,338
{\an8}-Wow.
-Have a seat.

16
00:02:10,421 --> 00:02:12,090
{\an8}Oh man, it's happening now.

17
00:02:12,173 --> 00:02:14,634
{\an8}-It's gettin' real now, isn't it?
-Oh yeah.

18
00:02:19,055 --> 00:02:21,266
{\an8}Welcome. I'm Vanessa Lachey.

19
00:02:21,349 --> 00:02:24,644
{\an8}-I'm Nick Lachey. Obviously.
-Obviously.

20
00:02:24,727 --> 00:02:27,564
Ladies, welcome to <i>Love Is Blind.</i>

21
00:02:30,692 --> 00:02:32,861
-Guys, welcome to <i>Love Is Blind.</i>

22
00:02:32,944 --> 00:02:33,987
-Yeah!
-Yeah!

23
00:02:37,866 --> 00:02:41,452
Do you feel like the dating world nowadays
has become extremely superficial?

24
00:02:41,536 --> 00:02:42,453
-Yes.
-Yes.

25
00:02:42,537 --> 00:02:43,371
Yeah.

26
00:02:43,454 --> 00:02:44,873
It's all just looks.

27
00:02:44,956 --> 00:02:46,249
-No depth.
-Yes.

28
00:02:46,332 --> 00:02:48,168
When I meet men on dating apps,

29
00:02:48,251 --> 00:02:50,211
I think they see Asian and stereotype me,

30
00:02:50,295 --> 00:02:53,631
thinking I'm gonna be quiet,
more submissive.

31
00:02:53,715 --> 00:02:56,634
{\an8}And then they'll meet me,
I'm a bit louder, more outgoing.

32
00:02:56,718 --> 00:03:00,180
-Yes, girl.
-And more career-oriented and opinionated.

33
00:03:00,263 --> 00:03:04,225
I always hear at the end of the date,
"I wasn't expecting you to be like that."

34
00:03:04,309 --> 00:03:05,143
Interesting.

35
00:03:05,226 --> 00:03:07,896
I feel it's more of a look,
first impression.

36
00:03:07,979 --> 00:03:10,481
{\an8}"Blonde hair,
big boobs, she's a great time."

37
00:03:10,565 --> 00:03:13,860
{\an8}"It's not wifey material."
And they don't give me that chance.

38
00:03:13,943 --> 00:03:16,946
The chance to open up,
and be myself, and be vulnerable.

39
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:20,033
I feel I have so much to give,
but I can't get to that point.

40
00:03:20,116 --> 00:03:22,785
-Yeah.
-We wanna be loved for who we are.

41
00:03:22,869 --> 00:03:25,914
And the gentlemen here
are here for the exact same reason.

42
00:03:25,997 --> 00:03:29,167
This experiment is
a proven approach to finding love.

43
00:03:30,251 --> 00:03:31,920
So over the next ten days,

44
00:03:32,003 --> 00:03:35,715
you guys are gonna finally have
the chance to fall in love,

45
00:03:35,798 --> 00:03:38,218
based solely on who you are on the inside.

46
00:03:38,301 --> 00:03:39,135
That's good.

47
00:03:39,219 --> 00:03:43,723
Not because of your looks, your race,
your background, or your income.

48
00:03:43,806 --> 00:03:47,060
You guys,
there'll be no devices, zero distractions.

49
00:03:47,143 --> 00:03:49,604
The only time you guys are gonna interact

50
00:03:49,687 --> 00:03:51,189
are in the private pods.

51
00:03:54,275 --> 00:03:58,196
You're gonna be separated
by one thin wall.

52
00:03:58,279 --> 00:04:00,323
You won't ever get to see each other.

53
00:04:00,406 --> 00:04:01,407
We know.

54
00:04:03,034 --> 00:04:05,036
All decisions are yours.

55
00:04:05,119 --> 00:04:07,830
You alone will choose
who you wanna spend time with.

56
00:04:07,914 --> 00:04:11,376
When you pick the person you wanna spend
the rest of your life with, propose.

57
00:04:11,459 --> 00:04:13,586
-Wow.
-Oh yeah.

58
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:15,463
And if they accept,

59
00:04:15,546 --> 00:04:19,217
you will <i>see</i> your fiancée
for the very first time.

60
00:04:19,884 --> 00:04:20,760
Wow.

61
00:04:20,843 --> 00:04:23,012
And four weeks later,
you are at your wedding.

62
00:04:23,596 --> 00:04:26,849
You have to make
the most important decision of your life.

63
00:04:28,268 --> 00:04:30,853
This is where it gets exciting.

64
00:04:30,937 --> 00:04:33,731
Will you say, "I do" to the person
you fall in love with here…

65
00:04:33,815 --> 00:04:34,857
Sight unseen?

66
00:04:34,941 --> 00:04:37,777
…or will the real world
sabotage that love,

67
00:04:37,860 --> 00:04:40,530
and will you walk away
from that person forever?

68
00:04:41,114 --> 00:04:44,409
Is love truly blind?

69
00:04:44,492 --> 00:04:45,326
My God…

70
00:04:46,369 --> 00:04:48,663
If you are ready
to find the love of your life…

71
00:04:48,746 --> 00:04:49,580
Yes.

72
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:55,461
…walk through those doors,
because the pods are officially open.

73
00:04:55,545 --> 00:04:57,255
-Open!
-Here we go!

74
00:04:57,797 --> 00:05:01,050
-Good luck, guys.
-Go get 'em, girls! Get you your husband!

75
00:05:03,011 --> 00:05:05,138
-Are you ready?
-I'm really ready.

76
00:05:05,221 --> 00:05:07,056
I've spent a long time waiting.

77
00:05:07,557 --> 00:05:09,517
-You ready?
-Oh God.

78
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,020
I'm very excited
about getting in the pods

79
00:05:12,103 --> 00:05:14,230
{\an8}because I've never made it
past the first date

80
00:05:14,314 --> 00:05:18,359
{\an8}without a girl bringing up my gray hair.
Developed a little complex.

81
00:05:18,443 --> 00:05:22,488
Right here, inside of these pods.
Find the love of our lives, man.

82
00:05:26,909 --> 00:05:30,621
Doesn't matter what I look like,
how much I weigh, color, ethnicity,

83
00:05:30,705 --> 00:05:34,125
{\an8}anything you come from,
it is who you are inside,

84
00:05:34,208 --> 00:05:35,626
and I'm looking forward

85
00:05:35,710 --> 00:05:39,505
to what potentially
could be discovered in these pods,

86
00:05:39,589 --> 00:05:42,467
because I do indeed
wanna leave here with a husband.

87
00:05:43,051 --> 00:05:46,346
-What's the first question gonna be?
-I still don't know.

88
00:05:46,429 --> 00:05:48,222
-Just gonna go right in?
-Yeah.

89
00:05:48,306 --> 00:05:49,432
Let's do this.

90
00:05:49,932 --> 00:05:50,975
Let's get it!

91
00:05:52,685 --> 00:05:54,437
-Hello.
-Hello.

92
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,189
Hi.
-Hola.

93
00:05:56,272 --> 00:05:57,523
Howdy Doody.

94
00:05:57,607 --> 00:05:59,525
-Let's just get the party started.

95
00:06:00,109 --> 00:06:03,738
-Have you ever been in love?
-How about a name? Then we can ask.

96
00:06:04,697 --> 00:06:05,948
Oh my God.

97
00:06:07,784 --> 00:06:09,869
I'm putting my hand on the wall.
Can you see me?

98
00:06:09,952 --> 00:06:10,787
No, I can't.

99
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:12,914
-Are you as nervous as I am?
-Oh my God.

100
00:06:12,997 --> 00:06:15,166
-Hello?
-Welcome to my pod.

101
00:06:16,167 --> 00:06:18,586
This experiment
interests me because,

102
00:06:18,669 --> 00:06:21,464
{\an8}you know, I don't have boobs and a butt,
so it's like,

103
00:06:21,547 --> 00:06:23,633
if I'm not, like, really dressed up,

104
00:06:23,716 --> 00:06:25,843
sometimes I look like a 13-year-old boy.

105
00:06:30,264 --> 00:06:31,766
I wanna find my life partner.

106
00:06:31,849 --> 00:06:34,560
I've always envisioned it
like my best friend.

107
00:06:34,644 --> 00:06:36,771
This'd be an awesome story
to tell our kids.

108
00:06:36,854 --> 00:06:39,690
"I met your dad in a social experiment,

109
00:06:39,774 --> 00:06:42,360
where I was dating 14 other guys."

110
00:06:42,443 --> 00:06:44,320
Like, "I'm sorry, what, Mom?"

111
00:06:47,865 --> 00:06:49,992
-Hello, hello.
-Hi.

112
00:06:50,076 --> 00:06:52,745
-What's going on? What's your name?
-Iyanna.

113
00:06:52,829 --> 00:06:55,873
-What's your name?
-Iyanna, this is Jarrette.

114
00:06:56,958 --> 00:06:59,919
-Where you from?
-From Atlanta. And where you from?

115
00:07:00,002 --> 00:07:01,421
Anchorage, Alaska.

116
00:07:01,504 --> 00:07:04,382
-It's where I currently reside.
-You ain't gonna play with me.

117
00:07:04,465 --> 00:07:06,342
-Where you from?
-I'm from Chicago.

118
00:07:07,593 --> 00:07:10,555
-He plays too much.
-I got all the jokes.

119
00:07:13,307 --> 00:07:15,101
So, what you do for a living?

120
00:07:15,184 --> 00:07:17,311
I'm a program coordinator
at a surrogacy agency.

121
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,772
-Okay. Do you want children?
-Of course.

122
00:07:19,856 --> 00:07:23,359
-Ooh. I want two of them little things.
-I want at least two.

123
00:07:23,443 --> 00:07:26,279
I wouldn't mind four,
depending on what our finances look like…

124
00:07:26,362 --> 00:07:28,281
-Say what?
-…and what our time look like--

125
00:07:28,364 --> 00:07:29,991
Wait, wait. Hello. You said what?

126
00:07:30,992 --> 00:07:33,202
-Did you say four?
-Is that too ambitious for you?

127
00:07:33,286 --> 00:07:35,955
My God, what you want,
a half of a starting lineup?

128
00:07:38,207 --> 00:07:41,627
I've always wanted a big family,
'cause I didn't have one growing up.

129
00:07:41,711 --> 00:07:45,381
I was an only child,
and it was kind of lonely.

130
00:07:45,465 --> 00:07:46,841
Are you and your mom close?

131
00:07:48,217 --> 00:07:49,343
Um…

132
00:07:50,219 --> 00:07:53,347
No. So, my biological mom
raised me until I was nine,

133
00:07:53,431 --> 00:07:54,348
um…

134
00:07:54,432 --> 00:07:57,602
And she's not in the healthiest space
to be able to raise me.

135
00:07:57,685 --> 00:08:00,062
So, she kind of gave me
to her first cousin

136
00:08:00,146 --> 00:08:03,441
and she raised me until I was 18,
and then I got kicked out of the house,

137
00:08:03,524 --> 00:08:07,528
and then I moved in with my godparents
who adopted me at 22, and yeah.

138
00:08:10,781 --> 00:08:13,701
-You had a lot going on as a child.
-Yeah, I did.

139
00:08:14,410 --> 00:08:18,623
I had so many odds against me.
I should not be this okay, you know?

140
00:08:25,630 --> 00:08:29,592
-All right, come here. I wanna hug you.
-No, no, no. I'm okay.

141
00:08:29,675 --> 00:08:32,595
Shit. No, I'm hugging the wall.

142
00:08:34,722 --> 00:08:39,143
I'm here to find my wife.
Someone who's a good person at their core.

143
00:08:39,227 --> 00:08:43,898
-Nice meeting you. We'll talk again.
-We definitely will.

144
00:08:44,482 --> 00:08:47,360
{\an8}So, last year,
I had a pretty traumatic incident.

145
00:08:47,443 --> 00:08:50,321
I spent about a week
being in the ICU by myself.

146
00:08:53,866 --> 00:08:56,118
I just felt so helpless.
I was brought to my knees

147
00:08:56,202 --> 00:09:00,248
because I didn't have the woman there
who was able to kind of be by my side

148
00:09:00,331 --> 00:09:02,500
and be there in the trenches with me.

149
00:09:02,583 --> 00:09:06,629
I came to this experiment because
the one thing that matters to me above all

150
00:09:06,712 --> 00:09:09,674
is just having real, pure love.

151
00:09:09,757 --> 00:09:13,678
I want someone who's gonna be
by my side through thick and thin.

152
00:09:13,761 --> 00:09:14,720
That's why I'm here.

153
00:09:15,304 --> 00:09:16,305
Ow!

154
00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:18,057
{\an8}-Hello.
-How are you?

155
00:09:18,140 --> 00:09:20,768
{\an8}-I'm good. How are you?
-I'm good. What is your name?

156
00:09:20,851 --> 00:09:24,272
-My name's Mallory. What's your name?
-Nice to meet you, Mallory.

157
00:09:24,355 --> 00:09:25,606
My name is Jarrette.

158
00:09:25,690 --> 00:09:28,818
-Jarrette. Nice to meet you.
-Not like the Subway guy.

159
00:09:28,901 --> 00:09:31,320
-No. Thank God, no.
-Or the jeweler.

160
00:09:31,404 --> 00:09:32,780
What do you like to do for fun?

161
00:09:32,863 --> 00:09:35,866
I'm in a football league,
softball league, and basketball league.

162
00:09:35,950 --> 00:09:39,745
-What about you?
-Um, I love running, I love dancing.

163
00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:43,165
Sundays, I love… Me and my friends
go watch Bears games.

164
00:09:43,249 --> 00:09:45,585
Yes. Yes, absolutely.

165
00:09:45,668 --> 00:09:47,837
I grew up with two brothers, so I'm…

166
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,632
I'm a big sports person
through and through.

167
00:09:51,716 --> 00:09:53,968
It's hard to find
a woman who's into sports.

168
00:09:54,051 --> 00:09:54,885
Oh.

169
00:09:54,969 --> 00:09:58,014
-I'm loving it for sure.
-Great. That's awesome. Thank you, Jer.

170
00:09:58,097 --> 00:10:00,891
-Does anyone call you JerBear?
-Nobody calls me JerBear.

171
00:10:00,975 --> 00:10:03,352
-I'ma start calling you JerBear.

172
00:10:06,439 --> 00:10:09,692
{\an8}I think in this day and age,
you don't sit with your feelings.

173
00:10:09,775 --> 00:10:13,112
You don't take the time
to really think about marriage

174
00:10:13,195 --> 00:10:16,282
or having kids or values and goals.

175
00:10:17,658 --> 00:10:21,329
People nowadays,
they avoid those conversations

176
00:10:21,412 --> 00:10:22,288
like the plague.

177
00:10:24,707 --> 00:10:25,625
Hey.

178
00:10:25,708 --> 00:10:28,127
Hello. My name is Salvador.

179
00:10:28,210 --> 00:10:30,546
Salvador. Nice to meet you.
My name's Mallory.

180
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:32,214
-Mallory.
-Yeah.

181
00:10:32,298 --> 00:10:33,215
All right.

182
00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:36,177
Tell me about yourself.
Where you from?

183
00:10:36,260 --> 00:10:39,597
I'm from a big Hispanic bubble.
El Paso, Texas.

184
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:40,806
Oh, nice. Okay.

185
00:10:40,890 --> 00:10:44,852
{\an8}Coming from a Latino background,
I feel like I get a little judgment

186
00:10:44,935 --> 00:10:48,147
with, like, machismo,
and I'm not that person at all.

187
00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:52,860
I believe in the importance
of vulnerability. I like crying.

188
00:10:52,943 --> 00:10:55,488
I feel like emotions
and tears are strength.

189
00:10:55,571 --> 00:10:58,574
So, this process
just really grabs my attention,

190
00:10:58,658 --> 00:11:01,577
because in the real world,
I haven't found someone

191
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:04,080
that appreciates my love
as much as I appreciate theirs.

192
00:11:04,163 --> 00:11:05,206
That's why I'm here.

193
00:11:08,417 --> 00:11:09,877
Something that surprises people

194
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,171
is that I studied opera
all throughout college.

195
00:11:19,345 --> 00:11:20,888
Where was your family from?

196
00:11:20,971 --> 00:11:23,933
I was born and raised in Chicago.
I'm from the South Side.

197
00:11:24,016 --> 00:11:26,060
My dad's Mexican, my mom's Polish.

198
00:11:26,143 --> 00:11:27,770
-My parents are Mexican.
-Nice.

199
00:11:27,853 --> 00:11:30,064
-Do you speak Spanish?
-A little.

200
00:11:30,564 --> 00:11:32,233
-Oh damn!

201
00:11:32,316 --> 00:11:34,902
-Stop.

202
00:11:34,985 --> 00:11:36,821
-Two cultures, huh?
-Yeah.

203
00:11:36,904 --> 00:11:40,866
I mean, I have a pretty big, loud family.

204
00:11:40,950 --> 00:11:42,952
I'm the youngest of four.

205
00:11:43,035 --> 00:11:44,704
Big, loud family.

206
00:11:44,787 --> 00:11:47,748
I'm sure weddings are fun
with your family and whatnot.

207
00:11:47,832 --> 00:11:51,127
It's important, and I feel like
they're your default best friends.

208
00:11:51,711 --> 00:11:52,586
Oh, for sure.

209
00:11:52,670 --> 00:11:55,214
I love them all. I'm on the same page.

210
00:11:55,297 --> 00:11:58,467
-Family is really big for me.
-Okay. How many siblings do you have?

211
00:11:58,551 --> 00:12:00,553
-Well, I have two sisters.
-Nice.

212
00:12:00,636 --> 00:12:01,929
And then my older brother.

213
00:12:02,012 --> 00:12:05,099
I'm the middle child,
the peacemaker of all them.

214
00:12:05,182 --> 00:12:07,643
I thought the middle child
was the trouble child.

215
00:12:09,729 --> 00:12:12,565
No, I'm super laid back.
I'm soft on the inside.

216
00:12:12,648 --> 00:12:15,693
-I'm like a Ferrero Rocher.
-Oh, that's so sweet.

217
00:12:16,694 --> 00:12:17,987
But I like it.

218
00:12:21,449 --> 00:12:24,243
-Hopefully, I get to talk to you again.
-I hope so too.

219
00:12:29,957 --> 00:12:31,041
Oh my God.

220
00:12:31,125 --> 00:12:33,878
Obviously, I can't see him,
I don't know what he looks like,

221
00:12:33,961 --> 00:12:36,797
all I have to go off of,
at least initially, is a voice

222
00:12:36,881 --> 00:12:40,426
and Sal just has
a really, really nice, sultry voice.

223
00:12:40,509 --> 00:12:41,844
Oh God.

224
00:12:44,430 --> 00:12:45,890
What's a Sunday Funday to you?

225
00:12:45,973 --> 00:12:48,684
{\an8}I like being active, a bottomless brunch.

226
00:12:48,768 --> 00:12:51,395
{\an8}-Same here.
-Just wait 'til you meet Wine Danielle.

227
00:12:53,314 --> 00:12:56,108
-I actually really enjoy your voice.
-Really?

228
00:12:56,192 --> 00:12:57,193
Yeah, of course.

229
00:12:57,276 --> 00:12:58,986
And I was, like, so scared.

230
00:12:59,069 --> 00:13:02,573
What if I come here and everyone's like,
"That girl has an unattractive voice."

231
00:13:02,656 --> 00:13:04,867
-And that's all I have right now.

232
00:13:04,950 --> 00:13:05,951
What do you do?

233
00:13:06,035 --> 00:13:07,620
I love to punch drywall.

234
00:13:07,703 --> 00:13:09,622
{\an8}Oh God.

235
00:13:09,705 --> 00:13:10,956
{\an8}

236
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,374
{\an8}I have a dirt bike too,

237
00:13:12,458 --> 00:13:13,626
just to top it off.

238
00:13:13,709 --> 00:13:14,668
Oh God.

239
00:13:14,752 --> 00:13:16,587
{\an8}I wish I looked like J. Lo.

240
00:13:17,087 --> 00:13:19,548
-Hello?
-There's no place like home.

241
00:13:19,632 --> 00:13:20,925
{\an8}

242
00:13:21,008 --> 00:13:23,427
Oh my God.
I gotta pick my wedgie again.

243
00:13:24,220 --> 00:13:26,555
{\an8}-Uh, I work in real estate.
-Do you sell a lot?

244
00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:28,057
{\an8}'Cause I feel like you have to be

245
00:13:28,140 --> 00:13:31,060
somewhat attractive
to sell a lot.

246
00:13:31,143 --> 00:13:33,229
{\an8}There's a lot of shallow people
in this world.

247
00:13:33,312 --> 00:13:35,022
Is that a normal question to ask?

248
00:13:35,105 --> 00:13:38,484
You have to ask
all the questions up front, okay?

249
00:13:38,567 --> 00:13:40,569
Right. That's not what this is about.

250
00:13:40,653 --> 00:13:43,489
{\an8}I have a huge Instagram following.

251
00:13:44,573 --> 00:13:47,409
{\an8}Obviously, I have, like, a lot of friends.

252
00:13:48,077 --> 00:13:52,289
{\an8}Like, it's crazy. I think I'm really good
at these pods because, like, with my job,

253
00:13:52,373 --> 00:13:56,919
{\an8}I have, like, five to, like, 20 people
in my car, like, at a time.

254
00:13:57,002 --> 00:13:58,462
-Okay.

255
00:13:58,546 --> 00:13:59,505
{\an8}Are you Latina?

256
00:13:59,588 --> 00:14:01,465
{\an8}-I am.
-You are?

257
00:14:01,549 --> 00:14:02,550
{\an8}I'm half.

258
00:14:02,633 --> 00:14:04,927
-Latina vibes over there.
-Oh my God.

259
00:14:05,427 --> 00:14:07,930
{\an8}I love buying clothes for girls.

260
00:14:08,514 --> 00:14:09,932
What's your size?

261
00:14:10,015 --> 00:14:12,101
What the fuck?

262
00:14:12,685 --> 00:14:14,311
{\an8}Well, do you like working out?

263
00:14:14,395 --> 00:14:15,521
{\an8}Yeah, not a huge fan.

264
00:14:15,604 --> 00:14:17,273
-Really? Ooh.
-Yep.

265
00:14:17,356 --> 00:14:20,568
I get along best
with individuals that do work out.

266
00:14:21,277 --> 00:14:22,236
How old are you?

267
00:14:22,319 --> 00:14:24,864
{\an8}-Thirty-three.
-I prefer dating younger.

268
00:14:25,739 --> 00:14:27,366
-How old are you?
-I'm 32.

269
00:14:30,244 --> 00:14:32,663
{\an8}-What's your name?
-My name is Deepti.

270
00:14:32,746 --> 00:14:35,624
{\an8}-So, you're Indian.
-Yes. Oh shit! How did you know?

271
00:14:36,208 --> 00:14:37,334
I'm Indian.

272
00:14:38,377 --> 00:14:42,214
I was born in India,
and then I moved here when I was eight.

273
00:14:42,298 --> 00:14:44,758
My serious relationships,

274
00:14:44,842 --> 00:14:46,886
they've all been… blonde.

275
00:14:46,969 --> 00:14:48,804
Oh, really? Okay.

276
00:14:48,888 --> 00:14:54,018
I just remember moving to America,
seeing two things for the first time.

277
00:14:54,101 --> 00:14:57,813
-Seeing snow and blonde girls.

278
00:14:57,897 --> 00:14:59,982
And I felt the same way when I saw both.

279
00:15:00,065 --> 00:15:02,568
I was like, "Oh wow."
You like what you like. Right?

280
00:15:02,651 --> 00:15:03,652
I mean, you know?

281
00:15:03,736 --> 00:15:06,196
Figured I should just
get that out there right away.

282
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,073
-Yeah.
-You could just…

283
00:15:08,157 --> 00:15:10,159
-Do what you want with that info?
-Exactly.

284
00:15:10,242 --> 00:15:12,870
{\an8}-What's your name?
-Abhishek. I go by Shake.

285
00:15:13,370 --> 00:15:16,415
-You've never dated an Indian girl?
-Honestly, no.

286
00:15:16,498 --> 00:15:18,876
That's funny. I also go for the blonds.

287
00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:20,044
Really?

288
00:15:20,127 --> 00:15:22,880
I've actually only dated
white guys before.

289
00:15:22,963 --> 00:15:26,050
We're both brown people
that only date white people.

290
00:15:26,133 --> 00:15:29,136
-So, what do you do?
-I'm a veterinarian, actually.

291
00:15:29,219 --> 00:15:31,931
-I love that.
-I'm also a house DJ.

292
00:15:32,014 --> 00:15:33,265
Oh my gosh. I love music.

293
00:15:33,349 --> 00:15:36,435
If we were to be
at a music festival,

294
00:15:36,518 --> 00:15:39,063
do you like being on a guy's shoulders?

295
00:15:39,146 --> 00:15:41,774
Yeah, you're up for the challenge?
You can pick me up?

296
00:15:41,857 --> 00:15:45,027
Yeah. But, um, will I have trouble
picking you up?

297
00:15:49,406 --> 00:15:51,825
Actually,
that comes off very superficial.

298
00:15:52,493 --> 00:15:53,369
Um…

299
00:15:53,953 --> 00:15:56,872
{\an8}Shake doesn't understand
how<i> Love Is Blind </i>has to work.

300
00:15:56,956 --> 00:16:00,417
The whole point is
about finding out who we are as people,

301
00:16:00,501 --> 00:16:02,252
not, "Can you carry me?"

302
00:16:02,336 --> 00:16:04,838
I mean, right? Like…

303
00:16:07,341 --> 00:16:11,178
{\an8}The conversation was so good,
I didn't realize where we are.

304
00:16:11,261 --> 00:16:13,347
-You lost track of time.
-Literally.

305
00:16:13,430 --> 00:16:15,849
-How was it? Good?
-It was good. Yeah.

306
00:16:17,893 --> 00:16:19,144
{\an8}Hi, ladies.

307
00:16:19,228 --> 00:16:21,230
{\an8}-Hi.
-Hey.

308
00:16:21,313 --> 00:16:22,690
{\an8}-Hi.
-Hi.

309
00:16:22,773 --> 00:16:24,149
How did it go?

310
00:16:24,233 --> 00:16:26,568
{\an8}Oh my God, it went so well.
I don't want to stop.

311
00:16:27,736 --> 00:16:31,115
We all came here saying
we feel like we're ready for marriage.

312
00:16:31,198 --> 00:16:35,160
{\an8}There are conversations
that I was having in seven minutes

313
00:16:35,244 --> 00:16:38,247
where I felt like
I learned more about that person

314
00:16:38,330 --> 00:16:43,168
than some people
who I maybe dated for two months.

315
00:16:43,252 --> 00:16:45,587
Which is kind of crazy to think about.

316
00:16:45,671 --> 00:16:48,465
{\an8}I met with the funniest guy.
I didn't even get his name.

317
00:16:48,549 --> 00:16:49,675
{\an8}He's just a mystery.

318
00:16:49,758 --> 00:16:53,137
{\an8}Mystery man's probably not the one
if you can't remember anything about it.

319
00:16:53,220 --> 00:16:56,515
{\an8}You literally made
an Excel spreadsheet on your notebook.

320
00:16:56,598 --> 00:16:59,476
{\an8}The algorithm. Danielle and I have
the same idea of brunch,

321
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,562
{\an8}and that's something
I'm really looking for.

322
00:17:01,645 --> 00:17:03,397
{\an8}I feel like there are gonna be

323
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,233
{\an8}a lot of people that have tops
that are gonna be similar.

324
00:17:06,316 --> 00:17:09,820
Yeah. I mean, you can tell
which ones are outstanding, yeah.

325
00:17:09,903 --> 00:17:11,280
Day one was a lot.

326
00:17:11,363 --> 00:17:13,949
{\an8}Immediately, I knew
me and Shayne wouldn't be a good fit.

327
00:17:14,033 --> 00:17:15,576
{\an8}I liked her too.

328
00:17:15,659 --> 00:17:18,287
{\an8}I would be so annoyed
by the end of a date.

329
00:17:18,370 --> 00:17:19,913
Oh, and then Shake.

330
00:17:19,997 --> 00:17:22,958
{\an8}Shake was another one I was like,
"Okay, that's not gonna work."

331
00:17:23,042 --> 00:17:26,336
{\an8}I'm really feeling Nick.
I'm feeling Jarrette quite a bit.

332
00:17:26,420 --> 00:17:28,422
{\an8}Jarrette had a really nice voice.

333
00:17:28,505 --> 00:17:31,967
{\an8}Kyle, but he's a little mischievous thing.
So I was like, "I don't know."

334
00:17:32,051 --> 00:17:33,260
Mmm, he's a troublemaker.

335
00:17:33,343 --> 00:17:35,888
{\an8}I have people that
I definitely didn't vibe with.

336
00:17:35,971 --> 00:17:40,476
{\an8}I have people I definitely vibed with,
and then I have ten in the middle,

337
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:42,102
that I have no idea.

338
00:17:52,321 --> 00:17:54,656
{\an8}

339
00:17:54,740 --> 00:17:56,450
{\an8}-Thank you, ma'am.
-Of course.

340
00:17:56,533 --> 00:17:58,744
{\an8}I actually do
really want this bagel.

341
00:17:58,827 --> 00:18:01,497
{\an8}There's three blueberries.
Eat 'em sparingly.

342
00:18:04,374 --> 00:18:06,668
I burnt myself
with a straightener on my forehead.

343
00:18:06,752 --> 00:18:09,963
So, I'm trying to cover it,
but it's not covering.

344
00:18:10,047 --> 00:18:12,633
Guess they don't even see us anyway.
So, what's the point?

345
00:18:12,716 --> 00:18:14,009
{\an8}It's day two.

346
00:18:14,093 --> 00:18:16,512
{\an8}I've been on a lot of online dates.

347
00:18:16,595 --> 00:18:19,264
I have met really weird--

348
00:18:19,348 --> 00:18:20,891
Oh, that's so rude to say.

349
00:18:20,974 --> 00:18:24,186
One time, I went on a date
with a guy who wore jean shorts.

350
00:18:24,269 --> 00:18:26,814
He doesn't have my style of dress, and…

351
00:18:26,897 --> 00:18:29,399
and I just assumed
that it wouldn't go well

352
00:18:29,483 --> 00:18:31,735
because we didn't have
dress styles in common,

353
00:18:31,819 --> 00:18:34,655
which is a silly thing to say,
and it's so stupid.

354
00:18:34,738 --> 00:18:36,740
It's not gonna help me
find the love of my life.

355
00:18:36,824 --> 00:18:39,034
Who cares what
the love of my life wears, right?

356
00:18:39,118 --> 00:18:42,746
At the end of the day, it matters
how his personality fits with mine.

357
00:18:43,664 --> 00:18:45,415
But jean shorts…

358
00:18:47,751 --> 00:18:49,044
Hey, wait up.

359
00:18:49,128 --> 00:18:51,046
Wait for me!

360
00:18:51,130 --> 00:18:54,675
I think the big pivotal moment for me
where I really thought,

361
00:18:54,758 --> 00:18:57,010
"I want to find my one,
I want to be married"

362
00:18:57,094 --> 00:19:02,558
is watching my grandfather take care
of my grandmother with Alzheimer's.

363
00:19:02,641 --> 00:19:04,601
She can't move, she can't talk.

364
00:19:04,685 --> 00:19:09,356
When I saw just the unconditional love
and support he gives her,

365
00:19:09,439 --> 00:19:13,694
I remember thinking, like, "I want that."
I want someone who will love me

366
00:19:13,777 --> 00:19:18,282
regardless of the condition I am in
or my weaknesses and flaws.

367
00:19:18,365 --> 00:19:21,368
I don't want to be at age 80 and be alone

368
00:19:21,451 --> 00:19:23,954
and not have experienced
that type of love.

369
00:19:26,081 --> 00:19:28,542
{\an8}-Hello.
-Hello. This is Shayne.

370
00:19:28,625 --> 00:19:30,836
{\an8}-Hi. How are you?
-I'm good. How are you doing?

371
00:19:30,919 --> 00:19:31,753
I'm good.

372
00:19:31,837 --> 00:19:33,672
-Who am I speaking to?
-Natalie.

373
00:19:33,755 --> 00:19:35,340
Oh, Natalie.

374
00:19:35,424 --> 00:19:36,425
Yeah, it's me.

375
00:19:36,508 --> 00:19:39,428
-What a pleasant surprise.
-I'm so excited I'm talking to you.

376
00:19:39,511 --> 00:19:43,432
I remember-- I wrote this down
in my notes yesterday, but I was like,

377
00:19:43,515 --> 00:19:45,225
I think I put a star by your name

378
00:19:45,309 --> 00:19:47,561
because I wanted to continue
our conversation.

379
00:19:47,644 --> 00:19:49,938
{\an8}-Ooh! Look at that!
-Yeah.

380
00:19:50,522 --> 00:19:53,775
The vibe I had for you is, like,
it was so easy to talk to you,

381
00:19:53,859 --> 00:19:58,071
and it was, like, so smooth and so fluid,
and I just liked your energy.

382
00:19:58,155 --> 00:20:02,409
I just… I feed off of energy
and I feed off of, you know, just, like,

383
00:20:02,492 --> 00:20:05,454
I can tell from the tone
of people's voices if they're interested,

384
00:20:05,537 --> 00:20:07,331
or, you know, it's their personality.

385
00:20:07,414 --> 00:20:08,874
Hey, I'm all about it.

386
00:20:08,957 --> 00:20:13,212
So, tell me about your jobs.
You said you're a consultant, right?

387
00:20:13,295 --> 00:20:15,130
-Yeah. So, I'm in consulting.
-Yeah.

388
00:20:15,214 --> 00:20:17,716
Not to toot my own horn,
but I feel like I'm good at it,

389
00:20:17,799 --> 00:20:19,176
so it's a fit, skill-wise.

390
00:20:19,259 --> 00:20:22,471
Can I be honest with you? Please toot
your own horn much as possible.

391
00:20:22,554 --> 00:20:24,556
Honestly, that is
the most attractive thing.

392
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,769
Like, there's a difference between,
like, being cocky and arrogance,

393
00:20:28,852 --> 00:20:31,480
but, like… you should be proud
of what you've done,

394
00:20:31,563 --> 00:20:33,482
and you should be confident
in who you are.

395
00:20:34,483 --> 00:20:36,193
That's so sexy to me. I'm--

396
00:20:38,695 --> 00:20:41,281
I know you said
you have your own real estate business.

397
00:20:41,365 --> 00:20:45,744
So I'm sure you do it a lot more,
but, for work events or networking events.

398
00:20:45,827 --> 00:20:49,498
I mean, I think it's important
that I have a husband

399
00:20:49,581 --> 00:20:51,208
that can hold his own.

400
00:20:51,291 --> 00:20:52,376
Is that weird to say?

401
00:20:52,459 --> 00:20:55,921
I think about, at the end of this,
we could have fiancés.

402
00:20:56,004 --> 00:20:58,548
-Yeah.
-So it's not even like, "My boyfriend."

403
00:20:58,632 --> 00:21:00,384
It's like, "Oh my gosh. My fiancé."

404
00:21:00,467 --> 00:21:03,762
We won't be boyfriend and girlfriend.
We're going straight to engagement.

405
00:21:03,845 --> 00:21:05,347
-You're my fiancée. Like…
-Yeah.

406
00:21:05,430 --> 00:21:09,017
I mean, like, the fact
I can marry you or someone else--

407
00:21:09,101 --> 00:21:12,854
Hold on. Time out. Not someone else.
Let's just focus on this guy right here.

408
00:21:14,106 --> 00:21:17,234
-You are my number one. So…
-Really? You are my number one too.

409
00:21:17,317 --> 00:21:18,694
Ooh. Look at that.

410
00:21:19,778 --> 00:21:21,363
Oh my God.

411
00:21:27,661 --> 00:21:30,247
{\an8}

412
00:21:31,873 --> 00:21:33,458
{\an8}What do you like about Natalie?

413
00:21:33,542 --> 00:21:36,003
That she liked me.

414
00:21:36,086 --> 00:21:37,629
That'll help.

415
00:21:37,713 --> 00:21:40,299
I'm a words guy, dude. I was her favorite.

416
00:21:40,382 --> 00:21:42,009
-And now…
-And that's…

417
00:21:42,092 --> 00:21:46,805
Dude, you give me the words of that, man,
I, like, my ego goes through the roof.

418
00:21:46,888 --> 00:21:48,640
-Like, boom.
-I feel ya.

419
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,436
{\an8}I love the energy I get from people.

420
00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:55,689
{\an8}I just can't sit behind a desk all day
and just look at an Excel sheet.

421
00:21:55,772 --> 00:21:57,983
Some of these guys
are very good at that, but me,

422
00:21:58,066 --> 00:22:00,694
I need to be in front of people,
feed off of their energy.

423
00:22:00,777 --> 00:22:01,987
I feel fantastic.

424
00:22:02,070 --> 00:22:04,740
I didn't think my confidence
could go higher, but it did.

425
00:22:04,823 --> 00:22:07,576
I'm kidding. I'm kidding!

426
00:22:07,659 --> 00:22:10,078
In the dating world,
the past couple of years is just…

427
00:22:10,162 --> 00:22:12,414
Their idea of flirting is poking fun.

428
00:22:12,497 --> 00:22:14,499
Girl goes, "You're Shayne, aren't you?"

429
00:22:14,583 --> 00:22:16,501
Instantly knew when I walked in that door.

430
00:22:16,585 --> 00:22:17,794
No one has your voice.

431
00:22:17,878 --> 00:22:19,546
{\an8}You sound like Beetlejuice.

432
00:22:19,629 --> 00:22:22,090
{\an8}You called me fucking Beetlejuice.
That's a fuckin'--

433
00:22:22,174 --> 00:22:24,051
-That's a tough one to swallow.
-You can take it.

434
00:22:24,134 --> 00:22:27,929
I think I'm a huge tool, 100%.
I own that. That's fine. I get it.

435
00:22:28,013 --> 00:22:29,973
At the same time,
I have a really kind heart

436
00:22:30,057 --> 00:22:33,310
and I really am passionate
about just life and who I am.

437
00:22:33,393 --> 00:22:37,647
And I feel like there's a lot more to me
that, you know, meets the eye.

438
00:22:37,731 --> 00:22:40,150
I hope all the girls can see that too.

439
00:22:41,526 --> 00:22:43,570
Hello. Who am I speaking to?

440
00:22:43,653 --> 00:22:45,614
-This Shayne?
-Is this Shayne?

441
00:22:45,697 --> 00:22:47,407
-Uh-huh. Yes.
-Is this Shayne?

442
00:22:47,491 --> 00:22:48,825
How do you know that?

443
00:22:49,910 --> 00:22:51,203
-Hello?
-Hello.

444
00:22:51,286 --> 00:22:52,287
{\an8}-Hi.
-Hi.

445
00:22:52,371 --> 00:22:53,663
{\an8}Who am I speaking to?

446
00:22:53,747 --> 00:22:55,916
{\an8}-This is Shaina.
-Hi, Shaina.

447
00:22:55,999 --> 00:22:57,376
-Is this Shayne?
-Yes.

448
00:22:57,459 --> 00:22:59,169
-Hi, Shayne.
-Is that obvious?

449
00:22:59,252 --> 00:23:01,505
-Yeah.
-Why is that obvious?

450
00:23:01,588 --> 00:23:02,506
Your voice.

451
00:23:03,006 --> 00:23:04,800
That's what everyone keeps telling me.

452
00:23:04,883 --> 00:23:09,888
The only voice I can really diffy-entiate,
or whatever the word is, was your voice.

453
00:23:09,971 --> 00:23:14,434
Honestly, it's fantastic that I walked in
and you already knew who I was.

454
00:23:14,518 --> 00:23:17,312
{\an8}I think physical attraction
is definitely important,

455
00:23:17,396 --> 00:23:19,815
but when you emotionally connect
with that person,

456
00:23:19,898 --> 00:23:22,859
they're automatically attractive.
I don't care what anybody says.

457
00:23:22,943 --> 00:23:25,362
You could be a seven or even a five.

458
00:23:25,445 --> 00:23:28,448
If I find them so funny
and emotionally attractive

459
00:23:28,532 --> 00:23:32,077
and they have such a good heart,
they become more physically attractive.

460
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,453
So they wouldn't be a five.

461
00:23:34,788 --> 00:23:38,166
Like, dude, actually,
the average height is 5' 7" for a man.

462
00:23:38,250 --> 00:23:40,794
Do you know that?
And honestly, I don't want a ten, okay?

463
00:23:40,877 --> 00:23:43,547
You don't want all the other women
after your man. Okay?

464
00:23:43,630 --> 00:23:44,756
Ask any woman.

465
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,883
As we get older, we get wiser.

466
00:23:48,802 --> 00:23:50,429
-Okay, question.
-What's up?

467
00:23:50,512 --> 00:23:53,807
-What do you want in a wife?
-I want self-awareness.

468
00:23:53,890 --> 00:23:56,810
-Someone very secure of who they are.
-Definitely.

469
00:23:56,893 --> 00:24:00,147
I'm very, very good at reassuring
how I feel about someone.

470
00:24:00,230 --> 00:24:02,149
We all have our insecurities,

471
00:24:02,232 --> 00:24:07,112
but tell me I'm fabulous once in a while,
I can walk off feeling happy with my day.

472
00:24:07,195 --> 00:24:09,948
You'll never have
a problem with me doing that.

473
00:24:10,031 --> 00:24:12,367
-Fantastic.
-I'm the biggest hype man. It's genuine.

474
00:24:12,451 --> 00:24:14,953
Yeah. Even if it's funny sometimes too.

475
00:24:15,036 --> 00:24:17,372
Like, "Oh babe, your ass looks good
in those jeans!"

476
00:24:17,456 --> 00:24:19,416
That'll surprise me
and stuff like that too…

477
00:24:19,499 --> 00:24:21,835
-I think it's important.
-It's very-- People do not--

478
00:24:21,918 --> 00:24:24,337
I feel like compliments
are so rare these days.

479
00:24:24,421 --> 00:24:27,132
-I'm huge into it.
-Especially with people you care about.

480
00:24:27,215 --> 00:24:28,592
They just expect, like…

481
00:24:28,675 --> 00:24:32,762
People, because of my personality,
they assume I get compliments 24/7,

482
00:24:32,846 --> 00:24:35,307
and it couldn't be farther
from the opposite.

483
00:24:35,390 --> 00:24:38,685
-Isn't that insane? I agree with you.
-It is. No, but I believe it too.

484
00:24:38,768 --> 00:24:41,271
-People don't give compliments anymore.
-No, they don't.

485
00:24:41,354 --> 00:24:45,066
If I came up to you,
out of the blue, and said something like,

486
00:24:45,150 --> 00:24:48,361
"I love your eyes--
the color of your eyes--"

487
00:24:48,445 --> 00:24:50,030
Shayne, you'll melt my heart.

488
00:24:50,113 --> 00:24:52,908
But it would come off creepy,
for some people.

489
00:24:52,991 --> 00:24:55,702
-Not to me. I don't.
-Lots of girls find it creepy.

490
00:24:55,785 --> 00:24:59,331
I just look at the good in people,
and why not tell them, you know?

491
00:24:59,414 --> 00:25:00,415
That's fantastic.

492
00:25:00,499 --> 00:25:02,584
-Are you playful?
-I'm very playful.

493
00:25:02,667 --> 00:25:05,295
I could tell you're playful.
I think that's important.

494
00:25:05,378 --> 00:25:08,798
-You're very dynamic, which is good.
-I am! Listen, I'm…

495
00:25:08,882 --> 00:25:11,593
You're never gonna expect
what comes out of my mouth next.

496
00:25:11,676 --> 00:25:12,677
No, it's good.

497
00:25:12,761 --> 00:25:15,222
Honestly, this has been
a fantastic conversation.

498
00:25:15,305 --> 00:25:17,224
-I agree, Shayne.

499
00:25:22,103 --> 00:25:24,356
Right now,
I'm kind of digging Shayne.

500
00:25:24,439 --> 00:25:28,276
I don't know what he looks like.
He just seems like this big teddy bear.

501
00:25:28,818 --> 00:25:31,696
You can tell
he has such a good heart and, like,

502
00:25:32,322 --> 00:25:34,908
Shayne and Shaina? That is so cute.

503
00:25:35,909 --> 00:25:37,202
I am so fucked.

504
00:25:37,702 --> 00:25:38,745
{\an8}

505
00:25:38,828 --> 00:25:42,374
{\an8}What type of kisser are you?
I'm a tongue to stomach guy.

506
00:25:42,457 --> 00:25:45,085
I'm a tongue to your uvula type.

507
00:25:47,587 --> 00:25:49,839
{\an8}How's your sex drive?
High? Low? How often?

508
00:25:49,923 --> 00:25:52,092
{\an8}-All right, you <i>really</i> went to it.
-Oh yeah.

509
00:25:53,218 --> 00:25:55,178
-Give me a massage?
-Great massages.

510
00:25:55,262 --> 00:25:58,306
I love drunk sex, hangover sex.
I do everything.

511
00:25:58,390 --> 00:25:59,474
Oh really?

512
00:25:59,558 --> 00:26:00,642
{\an8}Mm-hmm.

513
00:26:00,725 --> 00:26:01,685
{\an8}Oh God.

514
00:26:03,144 --> 00:26:05,855
{\an8}I don't know why I get so horny
when I'm hungover.

515
00:26:05,939 --> 00:26:07,107
{\an8}Me too.

516
00:26:07,190 --> 00:26:09,985
-I'm going after you. I'm telling you.
-Got it.

517
00:26:12,153 --> 00:26:13,863
{\an8}Well, I really, really like one guy.

518
00:26:13,947 --> 00:26:17,701
{\an8}I'm kind of nervous that
he's gonna get vibes from the other guys

519
00:26:17,784 --> 00:26:20,662
{\an8}because the other guys…
I think a lot of the other guys like me.

520
00:26:22,289 --> 00:26:25,834
{\an8}A lot of them like me. I don't know.

521
00:26:25,917 --> 00:26:28,128
{\an8}I have a lot of friends.

522
00:26:28,211 --> 00:26:30,797
{\an8}You know,
some are in serious relationships,

523
00:26:31,298 --> 00:26:34,050
some are seeing multiple people.

524
00:26:34,134 --> 00:26:36,553
It's really hard for me
to really understand

525
00:26:36,636 --> 00:26:41,016
why a girl like me doesn't have
a boyfriend or a hook-up,

526
00:26:41,099 --> 00:26:44,978
or even someone I'm talking to.
Scale of one to ten, I'm a catch.

527
00:26:46,396 --> 00:26:47,272
I like Nick a lot.

528
00:26:48,023 --> 00:26:50,817
{\an8}But there's another girl
that's really interested in him.

529
00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:55,739
Is it Holly or Molly?
Is the girl's name Holly or Molly?

530
00:26:56,323 --> 00:26:58,617
-Danielle.
-No, I think it's Holly.

531
00:26:58,700 --> 00:26:59,784
Yeah, it's Holly.

532
00:27:01,202 --> 00:27:02,746
Or Dolly or Molly.

533
00:27:03,330 --> 00:27:07,125
{\an8}And she said that Nick told her
that she's his number one,

534
00:27:07,208 --> 00:27:09,878
but she's also tied
with another number one.

535
00:27:09,961 --> 00:27:14,382
Pretty sure that other number one is me
and I felt a little relieved,

536
00:27:14,466 --> 00:27:18,553
because I don't think she's that much
of a competition compared to me.

537
00:27:19,304 --> 00:27:21,681
What do you mean
she's not competition?

538
00:27:21,765 --> 00:27:22,891
He don't get to see you.

539
00:27:24,559 --> 00:27:26,936
I think he knows. I think he could tell.

540
00:27:27,020 --> 00:27:29,773
I just started talking shit
about everybody else.

541
00:27:29,856 --> 00:27:32,275
I probably shouldn't do that.
It's probably wrong.

542
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,195
I don't think I should tell you guys
that I'm doing that.

543
00:27:40,700 --> 00:27:41,910
Bye. Good luck.

544
00:27:46,581 --> 00:27:49,209
-Hi.
-Hey. This is Nick. Who's this?

545
00:27:49,709 --> 00:27:51,753
-It's Trisha.
-Hey, Trisha.

546
00:27:51,836 --> 00:27:54,631
Why you guys are all so excited
to talk to me?

547
00:27:54,714 --> 00:27:58,093
Not trying to sound conceited, but
it's like all you guys are going after me.

548
00:27:58,176 --> 00:27:59,427
{\an8}

549
00:27:59,511 --> 00:28:02,847
{\an8}-Don't tell 'em I said that.
-No, I'm not gonna say a word.

550
00:28:02,931 --> 00:28:06,559
Whatever you say in these pods,
it is safe with me. I'm a locked box.

551
00:28:06,643 --> 00:28:08,687
Okay, cool.
What do you do on the weekends?

552
00:28:08,770 --> 00:28:11,815
It depends. I usually hang out
with my friends on Saturday.

553
00:28:11,898 --> 00:28:13,024
I like to do yoga.

554
00:28:13,108 --> 00:28:16,236
I would love somebody
who'd work out with me. It's funny.

555
00:28:16,319 --> 00:28:20,490
I have a lot of Instagram followers
that see how hard I hit the gym.

556
00:28:20,573 --> 00:28:21,991
I think sometimes, like,

557
00:28:22,575 --> 00:28:25,829
girls or people get a little intimidated
by how much I work out.

558
00:28:26,329 --> 00:28:28,665
That they might not be able to keep up.

559
00:28:29,165 --> 00:28:30,750
-I don't know.
-Oh wow.

560
00:28:30,834 --> 00:28:32,961
What are you
looking for in a girl?

561
00:28:33,044 --> 00:28:35,714
For me, at the end of the day,

562
00:28:35,797 --> 00:28:39,551
if I want to see this person every day,
if I'm okay just sitting on the couch,

563
00:28:39,634 --> 00:28:41,261
if they're okay sitting with me.

564
00:28:41,344 --> 00:28:42,178
I love that.

565
00:28:42,262 --> 00:28:46,182
My biggest critique of dating apps,
but just dating in general,

566
00:28:46,266 --> 00:28:49,686
is there's this illusion of endless
opportunity and endless options.

567
00:28:49,769 --> 00:28:52,480
For some reason,
I don't really do online apps.

568
00:28:52,564 --> 00:28:53,523
How come?

569
00:28:53,606 --> 00:28:57,861
I'm going on dates with these people
that, like, I don't know at all.

570
00:28:57,944 --> 00:29:01,197
I don't want to, like,
waste my time and my calories.

571
00:29:01,281 --> 00:29:03,533
My time and my calories.

572
00:29:03,616 --> 00:29:05,827
-Wow.
-As selfish as that is.

573
00:29:05,910 --> 00:29:07,495
Yeah.

574
00:29:07,579 --> 00:29:08,580
Holy shit.

575
00:29:09,164 --> 00:29:12,125
I'm trying to not visualize
anyone in my head,

576
00:29:12,208 --> 00:29:13,918
because I'm trying to understand,

577
00:29:14,002 --> 00:29:16,713
{\an8}is this someone
I can spend the rest of my life with,

578
00:29:16,796 --> 00:29:21,134
{\an8}or is this someone that I can have,
you know, maybe a good time with?

579
00:29:21,217 --> 00:29:24,345
And what I really need to do
is find someone that is both.

580
00:29:24,429 --> 00:29:28,308
I have done so many things in my life
that I wanted to do.

581
00:29:28,391 --> 00:29:30,810
I'm the first person in my family
to graduate college.

582
00:29:30,894 --> 00:29:34,814
I have a great career, I have a condo,

583
00:29:34,898 --> 00:29:38,818
and the one thing I've been missing
is finding someone to share all that with.

584
00:29:38,902 --> 00:29:42,155
And that's a really important reason
why I'm here.

585
00:29:42,739 --> 00:29:43,740
What's up?

586
00:29:44,824 --> 00:29:46,034
Oh my gosh.

587
00:29:48,411 --> 00:29:51,122
Who's the lucky gentleman?

588
00:29:52,707 --> 00:29:54,834
{\an8}I was a young girl, actually,

589
00:29:54,918 --> 00:29:59,297
{\an8}probably like sixth grade.
I was walking home from school one day,

590
00:29:59,380 --> 00:30:02,133
and this guy that I really liked,
I was flirting with him,

591
00:30:02,217 --> 00:30:05,136
and I heard him turn around
and be like, "This girl's fat."

592
00:30:05,220 --> 00:30:07,514
It's weird because it was so long ago

593
00:30:07,597 --> 00:30:08,807
and I was so young…

594
00:30:08,890 --> 00:30:11,059
Let me in!

595
00:30:11,142 --> 00:30:13,269
…but now every interaction
I have with someone,

596
00:30:13,353 --> 00:30:15,605
I'm so scared they'll be like,
"Her arms look big,

597
00:30:15,688 --> 00:30:16,773
her stomach looks big."

598
00:30:16,856 --> 00:30:20,026
I still always will look in the mirror
and see that little fat girl.

599
00:30:20,109 --> 00:30:21,653
-All right. Good luck.
-You too.

600
00:30:24,030 --> 00:30:27,367
That's why I'm very excited to see,
are people gonna like me for who I am

601
00:30:27,450 --> 00:30:30,119
and I'm hoping
once they do get to know me,

602
00:30:30,620 --> 00:30:33,665
they'll think I'm beautiful,
regardless of what my weight might be.

603
00:30:35,750 --> 00:30:37,502
-Hello?
-Hello.

604
00:30:38,086 --> 00:30:39,879
-Who is this?
-This is Nick.

605
00:30:39,963 --> 00:30:42,173
-Hello.
-How's it going over there?

606
00:30:42,674 --> 00:30:46,553
-What are you thinking about?
-I mean… You right now, obviously.

607
00:30:46,636 --> 00:30:47,470
Yeah?

608
00:30:47,554 --> 00:30:50,515
I always look forward to talking to you,
but then I'm like,

609
00:30:50,598 --> 00:30:52,058
"He's gonna forget about me."

610
00:30:52,141 --> 00:30:53,184
Why do you think that?

611
00:30:53,268 --> 00:30:56,855
Because I'm scared that every other date
that you have will go better than ours.

612
00:30:58,273 --> 00:31:00,358
I'm an over-analyzer.

613
00:31:00,441 --> 00:31:02,026
Walk me through that.

614
00:31:02,110 --> 00:31:05,572
Like, there's been
a long history of divorce in my family.

615
00:31:05,655 --> 00:31:09,284
There is no relationship I've witnessed
that has been successful.

616
00:31:09,367 --> 00:31:11,494
-Uh-huh.
-And that's gonna be my fear.

617
00:31:11,578 --> 00:31:13,830
Am I going to be
following in the footsteps

618
00:31:13,913 --> 00:31:17,584
of everyone else in my family?
Are your parents still together?

619
00:31:17,667 --> 00:31:19,836
No. They've been divorced
since I was five.

620
00:31:19,919 --> 00:31:21,379
-Oh really?
-Yeah.

621
00:31:21,462 --> 00:31:25,508
Almost every relationship
I've witnessed has ended in divorce.

622
00:31:25,592 --> 00:31:29,470
I've been in relationships with a guy
who ends up making me feel insecure.

623
00:31:29,554 --> 00:31:33,057
I was dating a guy who every time
he was laying next to me in bed,

624
00:31:33,141 --> 00:31:36,769
he'd scroll through his phone and all
I'd see were girls that were, like…

625
00:31:37,270 --> 00:31:38,521
You know, like, not me.

626
00:31:39,314 --> 00:31:40,148
Jeez.

627
00:31:40,690 --> 00:31:44,360
And so, I would get so,
like, in my head about that.

628
00:31:46,446 --> 00:31:48,406
And growing up, I was a lot heavier.

629
00:31:48,990 --> 00:31:49,866
-So…
-Okay.

630
00:31:50,450 --> 00:31:52,118
So, I lost 70 pounds.

631
00:31:52,201 --> 00:31:53,786
-Seventy pounds.
-Yeah.

632
00:31:55,538 --> 00:31:56,372
Wow.

633
00:31:56,915 --> 00:31:59,334
But it was like…
I didn't even wanna tell you that.

634
00:31:59,417 --> 00:32:02,420
I don't like communicating it.
I'm so scared people will be like,

635
00:32:02,503 --> 00:32:04,088
"What if she gets back to that?"

636
00:32:04,172 --> 00:32:06,674
It's something
I'm constantly insecure about.

637
00:32:16,601 --> 00:32:20,355
I have to tell you, like,
I was a little chunky when I was a kid.

638
00:32:20,438 --> 00:32:23,191
-Yeah?
-But really, college was where I…

639
00:32:23,274 --> 00:32:26,861
I was, like, getting into health
and making sure I work out.

640
00:32:26,945 --> 00:32:31,824
I'm not, like, a gym rat, by any means.
I'm on the slimmer side of the dad bod.

641
00:32:31,908 --> 00:32:32,909
I like the dad bod.

642
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,580
Nick can't see me. He has no idea
I'm not still 200 pounds.

643
00:32:37,664 --> 00:32:39,958
He has to trust
that he'll love me for who I am

644
00:32:40,041 --> 00:32:42,168
because he has no idea what size I am.

645
00:32:42,251 --> 00:32:45,004
He doesn't know
if I'm still heavier, still overweight.

646
00:32:45,088 --> 00:32:47,048
He just knows that I <i>have been</i> heavier.

647
00:32:47,131 --> 00:32:50,051
So for someone
to pull that story out of me

648
00:32:50,134 --> 00:32:51,928
within such a short period of time,

649
00:32:52,011 --> 00:32:56,140
it shows how comfortable I am with him
and how comfortable he makes me feel.

650
00:32:56,224 --> 00:32:58,476
I know. I know.

651
00:32:59,060 --> 00:33:01,646
I think your partner
needs to be your best friend.

652
00:33:01,729 --> 00:33:04,857
Exactly. The number one,
most important thing is making sure

653
00:33:04,941 --> 00:33:07,610
it's someone you wanna spend
every waking second with.

654
00:33:07,694 --> 00:33:08,528
Right.

655
00:33:08,611 --> 00:33:11,489
I've been in relationships like,
"This is my best friend,"

656
00:33:11,572 --> 00:33:14,826
and I've been in relationships like,
"I wouldn't be best friends."

657
00:33:14,909 --> 00:33:18,413
That's why I don't feel as passionately
about them as someone else,

658
00:33:18,496 --> 00:33:20,164
because it doesn't click that way.

659
00:33:20,248 --> 00:33:21,874
Right. That's exactly it.

660
00:33:21,958 --> 00:33:22,875
My God.

661
00:33:24,961 --> 00:33:26,504
I just want to be by you.

662
00:33:26,587 --> 00:33:30,049
I know.
I'm, like, a very touchy-feely person.

663
00:33:30,133 --> 00:33:35,555
It's hard for me right now not to be,
like… touching when I'm talking to you.

664
00:33:35,638 --> 00:33:37,348
I know.

665
00:33:37,432 --> 00:33:40,351
I find myself, like,
petting the couch instead.

666
00:33:57,076 --> 00:34:00,580
{\an8}-Oh. Food?
-Got it. It's our love language, honey.

667
00:34:01,789 --> 00:34:04,167
{\an8}-How many more are you doing?
-I have four more.

668
00:34:04,667 --> 00:34:06,252
-Yeah.
-It's already burning.

669
00:34:06,335 --> 00:34:08,796
-Side planks.
-You wanna face each other?

670
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,424
-No. Shut up.
-Stare into each other's eyes?

671
00:34:11,507 --> 00:34:14,469
{\an8}You don't work in the corporate world,
you own your own thing.

672
00:34:14,969 --> 00:34:18,639
{\an8}People who work in the corporate world,
I feel there's a little brainwash in them.

673
00:34:18,723 --> 00:34:20,683
{\an8}They talk like they're in a TED Talk.

674
00:34:20,767 --> 00:34:22,643
{\an8}-You are 1,000% right.
-I don't like that.

675
00:34:22,727 --> 00:34:25,063
There is such a narrow way of thinking.

676
00:34:25,146 --> 00:34:27,940
When you're in the corporate world,
they'll program your brain

677
00:34:28,024 --> 00:34:30,068
where you'll be like,
"Guys, you know what?"

678
00:34:30,151 --> 00:34:32,445
{\an8}I do sense a lot of that in there.

679
00:34:32,528 --> 00:34:35,114
{\an8}-It's why I'm hyper-aware of all of that.
-Yeah.

680
00:34:35,907 --> 00:34:39,535
I came to <i>Love Is Blind</i>
because people are very materialistic.

681
00:34:39,619 --> 00:34:41,954
I've been rejected in the past

682
00:34:42,038 --> 00:34:45,917
{\an8}because I don't have
that fancy white collar job.

683
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,460
{\an8}I'm a construction worker.

684
00:34:47,543 --> 00:34:49,295
I'm kind of rough around the edges.

685
00:34:50,004 --> 00:34:51,380
-All right.
-Let's go!

686
00:34:51,464 --> 00:34:54,509
I believe the right woman
will fall in love with me,

687
00:34:54,592 --> 00:34:59,680
because she'll understand
my stupid humor and dumb jokes.

688
00:34:59,764 --> 00:35:02,517
And the fact that
I don't need fancy things.

689
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,646
-Hello.
-Hi, honey.

690
00:35:06,729 --> 00:35:09,524
{\an8}-Shaina.
-I love how you say my name.

691
00:35:09,607 --> 00:35:12,860
{\an8}-Oh, Shaina.
-Shaina. You say my name very good.

692
00:35:12,944 --> 00:35:15,154
-Shaina.
-You probably have the best voice here.

693
00:35:15,238 --> 00:35:17,406
-Stop lying.
-No, I'm serious.

694
00:35:18,825 --> 00:35:20,910
-With you, it's effortless.
-Really?

695
00:35:20,993 --> 00:35:23,162
-Yeah.
-You are so cute.

696
00:35:23,246 --> 00:35:25,248
-How are you?

697
00:35:25,331 --> 00:35:27,416
Cut my finger open,
I was bleeding everywhere.

698
00:35:27,500 --> 00:35:29,585
Know what you need to do?
Superglue it.

699
00:35:29,669 --> 00:35:31,587
The Superglue thing is so true.

700
00:35:31,671 --> 00:35:33,714
You wanna know where I got it from?
My dad.

701
00:35:33,798 --> 00:35:36,134
-"My dad."
-You making fun of me?

702
00:35:36,217 --> 00:35:37,927
-Yeah.
-I like when you do that.

703
00:35:38,010 --> 00:35:38,928
"My dad."

704
00:35:40,805 --> 00:35:42,098
-I'm not kidding.
-I know.

705
00:35:42,181 --> 00:35:44,725
My dad's a contractor
and my brothers all work for my dad.

706
00:35:44,809 --> 00:35:46,435
Wow. You know my breed.

707
00:35:46,519 --> 00:35:49,814
Are you kidding me? After how hard
you guys work your asses off?

708
00:35:49,897 --> 00:35:51,983
I respect it. I feel we have a bond now.

709
00:35:52,066 --> 00:35:54,694
What's my breed?
You think I'm rough around the edges?

710
00:35:54,777 --> 00:35:56,487
-Yeah, totally.
-I'm not.

711
00:35:56,571 --> 00:35:59,699
-I'm actually like a nurturer.
-I love that about you.

712
00:35:59,782 --> 00:36:00,950
-Aw.
-"Aw."

713
00:36:01,868 --> 00:36:03,494
-Here's a good scenario.
-Tell me.

714
00:36:03,578 --> 00:36:05,580
I work outside
and it's fucking freezing.

715
00:36:05,663 --> 00:36:09,625
I'll have dinner made for you.
We lay on the couch, I'll rub your feet.

716
00:36:09,709 --> 00:36:12,003
That's so sweet.
I'm gonna cry a little bit.

717
00:36:13,129 --> 00:36:14,297
Are you old soul?

718
00:36:14,380 --> 00:36:17,967
-100%. It's because of my dad.
-Me too. Is he your biggest influence?

719
00:36:18,050 --> 00:36:19,802
-No, my mom is.
-Your mama?

720
00:36:19,886 --> 00:36:22,471
Yeah. My mom's
the best person in the world.

721
00:36:22,555 --> 00:36:24,515
-That's how I feel about my mom.
-Awesome.

722
00:36:24,599 --> 00:36:27,476
That means
they did something right with you.

723
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,312
Aw. Same thing with you.

724
00:36:29,395 --> 00:36:30,271
Yeah.

725
00:36:30,354 --> 00:36:32,732
-Are you ready for marriage?
-Yeah, definitely.

726
00:36:33,566 --> 00:36:35,985
So, I was actually engaged before.

727
00:36:36,569 --> 00:36:38,988
Long story short, God said, "No."

728
00:36:39,071 --> 00:36:40,615
What does that mean?

729
00:36:42,408 --> 00:36:45,620
He was honestly, like,
very, very, very, very, very controlling.

730
00:36:45,703 --> 00:36:50,041
Like, crazy. We called off the wedding,
like, 40 days before the wedding.

731
00:36:50,124 --> 00:36:53,419
It was probably the craziest time
of my life, but I grew a lot.

732
00:36:53,502 --> 00:36:56,172
Yeah. And it makes you happier now, right?

733
00:36:56,255 --> 00:36:57,340
I'm so free.

734
00:36:58,341 --> 00:37:00,760
I now know who I am and what I want.

735
00:37:00,843 --> 00:37:02,136
And then you met me.

736
00:37:03,596 --> 00:37:05,389
-Touché.
-How about it?

737
00:37:05,473 --> 00:37:06,724
-Touché, Kyle.

738
00:37:08,893 --> 00:37:12,230
Right now, like,
my top two are Kyle and Shayne.

739
00:37:12,313 --> 00:37:16,484
Kyle, I think he's witty. Probably one
of the funniest people I've ever met.

740
00:37:16,567 --> 00:37:19,237
But with Shayne,
he definitely has that energy

741
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:20,613
that kind of draws you in.

742
00:37:20,696 --> 00:37:21,739
I'm goin'.

743
00:37:21,822 --> 00:37:25,952
And I feel like we do have the same vision
for what we would want in a marriage.

744
00:37:26,035 --> 00:37:27,370
-Hello.
-Hello.

745
00:37:27,453 --> 00:37:29,413
-Shaina.
-Hi, Shayne.

746
00:37:29,497 --> 00:37:31,040
-How you doing?
-Good.

747
00:37:31,123 --> 00:37:33,626
Shaina matches my energy,
and gets me excited.

748
00:37:34,210 --> 00:37:36,963
And never got the vibe
that she's judging me.

749
00:37:37,630 --> 00:37:41,509
{\an8}I appreciate that,
because my mouth gets me in trouble a lot.

750
00:37:43,010 --> 00:37:47,556
Yesterday was more fun and casual,
but today I want to, like, get deep.

751
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,392
-Yeah, let's get into it.
-You want to?

752
00:37:49,475 --> 00:37:50,768
-I know you do.
-Oh yeah.

753
00:37:50,851 --> 00:37:53,938
I'm gonna get deep
inside of your thoughts right now.

754
00:37:54,021 --> 00:37:56,107
That sounds very intriguing.

755
00:37:56,190 --> 00:37:59,110
-I'm intense.
-Oh my God. I love it.

756
00:37:59,193 --> 00:38:01,988
What are you wearing right now?
Give me your outfit details.

757
00:38:02,071 --> 00:38:03,823
Okay, so I'm actually wearing heels.

758
00:38:03,906 --> 00:38:07,576
I'm wearing, like,
these cute jogger slacks with a crop top.

759
00:38:07,660 --> 00:38:10,913
-Oh, I love crop tops so much.
-Do you love a crop top?

760
00:38:10,997 --> 00:38:12,331
I love a crop top.

761
00:38:12,415 --> 00:38:14,917
Just enough to tease you a little bit but…

762
00:38:15,001 --> 00:38:16,335
Yes! Oh my God, I love it.

763
00:38:16,419 --> 00:38:18,212
-Okay. So, question.
-What's up?

764
00:38:18,296 --> 00:38:19,839
-You like making out?
-I love everything.

765
00:38:19,922 --> 00:38:22,758
-Okay, so I'm a very sexual person.
-Yes.

766
00:38:22,842 --> 00:38:25,761
So, like, I would ideally like every day.

767
00:38:26,262 --> 00:38:29,140
-Five times a day, at least…
-My God! That was my answer before!

768
00:38:29,223 --> 00:38:33,644
-To who?! Oh my God! Oh my goodness!
-No, but he was asking me. No.

769
00:38:33,728 --> 00:38:36,897
Honey, no. He was asking me,
you know what I'm saying? How many?

770
00:38:36,981 --> 00:38:38,858
-Yeah.
-Honestly, I was like…

771
00:38:38,941 --> 00:38:42,236
Like, I'm like,
"If you can handle it, let's go all day."

772
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,613
-You're hilarious.

773
00:38:44,697 --> 00:38:47,199
I'm the guy that will…
We're at a restaurant.

774
00:38:47,283 --> 00:38:50,244
Let's go to the bathroom.
Let's fuck around, do stuff like that.

775
00:38:50,328 --> 00:38:52,455
-Hello.
-I love, like, outdoor stuff.

776
00:38:52,538 --> 00:38:54,999
I don't know if you can keep up.
That's what I worry about.

777
00:38:55,082 --> 00:38:57,126
Don't underestimate me. You have no idea.

778
00:38:57,209 --> 00:39:01,505
Is there a way to elaborate, or you gonna
keep me going to bed now just dreaming…

779
00:39:01,589 --> 00:39:05,009
-I'm gonna keep you dreaming.
-Oh my God. It's not fair.

780
00:39:05,092 --> 00:39:07,094
This wall needs to go away right now.

781
00:39:08,346 --> 00:39:10,806
I'm at this point
where it's like dating two people,

782
00:39:10,890 --> 00:39:12,475
and I'm getting serious feelings.

783
00:39:12,558 --> 00:39:15,644
With Shaina,
it's flirty fun, like sexiness.

784
00:39:15,728 --> 00:39:18,439
It is a roller coaster of emotions.

785
00:39:19,815 --> 00:39:22,651
With Natalie,
it feels way more emotionally stimulating.

786
00:39:22,735 --> 00:39:26,030
There is playfulness in it,
but there's also a good balance of, like,

787
00:39:26,530 --> 00:39:27,531
seriousness too.

788
00:39:30,201 --> 00:39:32,995
{\an8}Do you think
that you're ready for marriage?

789
00:39:33,496 --> 00:39:35,206
I think about that all the time,

790
00:39:35,289 --> 00:39:37,500
because my father passed away
a few months ago.

791
00:39:39,752 --> 00:39:42,254
Oh my gosh.
That's so tough. I'm so sorry.

792
00:39:44,590 --> 00:39:49,553
I don't remember the last conversation
I had with him. So it was very difficult

793
00:39:49,637 --> 00:39:51,680
to process that and everything,

794
00:39:51,764 --> 00:39:56,227
but it made me stop and realize that
life is short and this is what I want.

795
00:39:56,310 --> 00:39:59,522
And I'm ready to find someone
and commit to someone

796
00:39:59,605 --> 00:40:03,150
because I want my mom to see my wedding.
I want my mom to have grandchildren

797
00:40:03,234 --> 00:40:06,237
and I want her to be able
to be a part of that, and see that.

798
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,614
I'm looking for someone
that's gonna challenge me

799
00:40:08,697 --> 00:40:10,074
and make me a better person.

800
00:40:10,741 --> 00:40:13,369
I see it in my brother and his fiancée,

801
00:40:13,452 --> 00:40:17,373
and I want that euphoria you get
from providing for someone,

802
00:40:17,456 --> 00:40:19,834
and just having someone by your side.

803
00:40:19,917 --> 00:40:21,419
That is so important to me.

804
00:40:21,502 --> 00:40:24,630
-And I can't wait to have that.
-That's so nice to hear.

805
00:40:24,713 --> 00:40:27,258
I'm glad you said that.
I'm right there with you.

806
00:40:27,341 --> 00:40:32,221
Your honesty gives me affirmation
that this is a true and good connection.

807
00:40:32,304 --> 00:40:34,932
Oh my gosh. I'm stumbling over my words.

808
00:40:35,015 --> 00:40:35,850
It's fine.

809
00:40:36,851 --> 00:40:38,853
There's also something about your voice.

810
00:40:38,936 --> 00:40:42,231
I can't pinpoint it,
but I just feel really good about this.

811
00:40:42,815 --> 00:40:46,610
There's a heart with your name
right in the middle of my notebook.

812
00:40:46,694 --> 00:40:49,613
I autographed it, number one.

813
00:40:49,697 --> 00:40:52,324
I love talking to you.
You already know that.

814
00:40:52,408 --> 00:40:53,242
Yeah.

815
00:40:53,325 --> 00:40:56,287
I think it's times like these
where I feel like, "Was this fate?"

816
00:40:56,370 --> 00:40:59,457
-If that makes sense.
-This is the start of everything. Yeah.

817
00:40:59,540 --> 00:41:01,959
-I…
-I got you, girl.

818
00:41:02,042 --> 00:41:05,045
I'm on cloud nine.
I'm smiling all the time.

819
00:41:05,129 --> 00:41:07,631
Like, there's an extra step in my skip.

820
00:41:07,715 --> 00:41:09,049
No, that's not right.

821
00:41:09,133 --> 00:41:11,218
Everything feels so right.

822
00:41:11,302 --> 00:41:15,181
The things I didn't know
were missing in my life, he fulfills it.

823
00:41:15,264 --> 00:41:18,642
It actually grosses myself out.
Like, who am I?

824
00:41:23,856 --> 00:41:24,857
God had a plan.

825
00:41:24,940 --> 00:41:27,318
So, things are copacetic?

826
00:41:27,943 --> 00:41:29,278
Yes. She's number one.

827
00:41:29,361 --> 00:41:31,780
{\an8}-Look at that.
-I know. I had all six.

828
00:41:33,616 --> 00:41:35,701
-Lights out.
-It's lights out.

829
00:41:35,784 --> 00:41:38,245
Shayne's my guy. I'm so happy.

830
00:41:38,329 --> 00:41:41,457
-I am literally obsessed.
-Wait, why? What happened?

831
00:41:41,540 --> 00:41:45,169
I've thought about him this entire time
and he just validated it.

832
00:41:45,252 --> 00:41:47,880
-I feel like this is it.
-Aww!

833
00:41:48,631 --> 00:41:50,424
-Yay!
-Aww.

834
00:41:50,508 --> 00:41:51,967
-So cute!
-Oh my God.

835
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:54,261
He put my name on his notebook.

836
00:41:54,345 --> 00:41:55,930
-Like, on the front page.
-What?

837
00:41:56,013 --> 00:41:58,974
And has been telling guys,
"It's gonna be Natalie."

838
00:41:59,058 --> 00:42:01,936
-Wait, what's his last name?
-Oh, I don't know.

839
00:42:02,561 --> 00:42:05,189
Everyone's dating everybody,
but, right now,

840
00:42:05,272 --> 00:42:07,816
I need Shayne to tell me what he wants.

841
00:42:07,900 --> 00:42:10,569
-I know.
-The future Mrs. Shayne.

842
00:42:11,070 --> 00:42:13,280
You're all invited
to the wedding.

843
00:42:21,205 --> 00:42:22,456
-Hello.
-Hello.

844
00:42:22,540 --> 00:42:23,791
-Hi.
-Hi.

845
00:42:25,209 --> 00:42:28,504
-I heard you proposed today, basically.
-What?

846
00:42:29,421 --> 00:42:30,422
To Natalie.

847
00:42:34,718 --> 00:42:37,930
Are you sold on one person here?
One woman already?

848
00:42:41,267 --> 00:42:42,393
I'll be honest with ya.

849
00:42:42,476 --> 00:42:46,480
I just wanna keep talking to you
and I wanna keep getting to know you more.

850
00:42:50,484 --> 00:42:53,070
I'm processing it,
by the way, if I'm quiet.

851
00:42:54,238 --> 00:42:57,992
This whole process, I believe is,
like, why not just see it out?

852
00:43:09,587 --> 00:43:10,546
Anyways…

853
00:43:11,213 --> 00:43:12,631
Anyways…

854
00:43:16,051 --> 00:43:17,386
What are you wearing over there?

855
00:43:18,053 --> 00:43:20,806
I'm in this cute little matching set.

856
00:43:20,889 --> 00:43:22,891
Like, high-waisted shorts
with this crop top,

857
00:43:22,975 --> 00:43:24,643
and I have this big flannel over it.

858
00:43:28,397 --> 00:43:30,024
That's so sexy.

859
00:43:31,859 --> 00:43:33,068
Can I wear your flannel?

860
00:43:34,278 --> 00:43:36,780
Oh yeah.
You can wear it in the bedroom, though.

861
00:43:36,864 --> 00:43:38,115
Of course.

862
00:43:38,907 --> 00:43:41,160
Oh my God, dear Lord.

863
00:44:00,554 --> 00:44:04,767
{\an8}

864
00:44:04,850 --> 00:44:07,645
-Are you drinking alcohol yet?
-No. Want to start together.

865
00:44:07,728 --> 00:44:10,981
-I didn't want to do it alone.
-Who took the Champagne?

866
00:44:14,276 --> 00:44:17,363
-Maybe I'll have that breakfast burrito.
-Dude, give me half of it.

867
00:44:17,446 --> 00:44:18,989
-You wanna do it?
-Can I have half?

868
00:44:19,073 --> 00:44:21,075
I'm gonna deconstruct
that breakfast burrito.

869
00:44:24,370 --> 00:44:28,290
This is such a crazy experiment
and I'm feeling so much so quickly.

870
00:44:28,374 --> 00:44:32,336
{\an8}Where, like, I've never been
with someone who I wholeheartedly trust

871
00:44:32,419 --> 00:44:34,004
{\an8}in every single way.

872
00:44:34,088 --> 00:44:37,132
With Nick, from every single hour
since we met has been talking

873
00:44:37,216 --> 00:44:40,678
and getting to know each other,
and it's almost as if we knew each other,

874
00:44:40,761 --> 00:44:44,098
like, our entire lives,
but we just met a couple days ago.

875
00:44:44,181 --> 00:44:48,143
I have a boyfriend and I don't know
what he looks like. It's strange.

876
00:44:48,227 --> 00:44:50,145
And he's, like, two feet away.

877
00:44:50,229 --> 00:44:54,274
{\an8}You literally have a woman over there.
The ball is in your court.

878
00:44:54,358 --> 00:44:58,612
I know. I'm taking the fucking ball.
I decided two days ago, it was Danielle.

879
00:44:58,696 --> 00:45:02,700
{\an8}And I am all in,

880
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,036
{\an8}and I'm gonna tell her.

881
00:45:08,330 --> 00:45:09,415
Have fun!

882
00:45:09,498 --> 00:45:11,166
Ooh!

883
00:45:15,504 --> 00:45:19,216
Being with Danielle
makes me feel calm, content,

884
00:45:19,717 --> 00:45:23,011
and I think the connection
that we built is so strong,

885
00:45:23,095 --> 00:45:24,596
{\an8}and it's unique in so many ways.

886
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,808
{\an8}But I really attribute it to the fact
that we've been able to dive in

887
00:45:27,891 --> 00:45:31,061
and spend hours and hours and hours
getting to know one another

888
00:45:31,145 --> 00:45:34,231
in a way that takes months,
if not years, in the real world.

889
00:45:36,525 --> 00:45:38,902
-I love farmers markets.
-I love them too.

890
00:45:38,986 --> 00:45:40,279
Oh my gosh. Let's go.

891
00:45:40,362 --> 00:45:44,533
Yeah. They're so much fun to go
with someone to, rather than by yourself.

892
00:45:44,616 --> 00:45:47,202
It's so much more fun.
Perfect. That's on the bucket list.

893
00:45:47,286 --> 00:45:49,496
Okay. We've got that.
Gotta do a bike ride.

894
00:45:49,580 --> 00:45:51,039
-Oh yeah.
-Yeah.

895
00:45:51,123 --> 00:45:53,625
If someone else is feeling an emotion,
I feel it.

896
00:45:53,709 --> 00:45:57,421
Same here. I dated someone
a while back, like, five years ago,

897
00:45:57,504 --> 00:46:01,759
and she kind of, like, would tell me
that my empathy was a weakness.

898
00:46:01,842 --> 00:46:05,095
That's-- I mean, I think that's
a toxic trait for her to think that.

899
00:46:05,179 --> 00:46:06,096
Oh, totally.

900
00:46:06,180 --> 00:46:09,224
Because, I, like,
I love empathetic people.

901
00:46:09,308 --> 00:46:10,184
-Me too.
-Yeah.

902
00:46:10,267 --> 00:46:14,354
And I can relate to them in a way
that I can't relate to most people.

903
00:46:14,438 --> 00:46:17,149
-I guess it's probably the same for you?
-No, exactly. Yeah.

904
00:46:17,232 --> 00:46:20,110
I have so many
different groups of friends.

905
00:46:20,194 --> 00:46:22,404
I think part of the reason
is because of that.

906
00:46:22,488 --> 00:46:24,198
That's so funny. I'm the same way.

907
00:46:25,157 --> 00:46:26,533
Did we talk about having kids?

908
00:46:26,617 --> 00:46:29,995
I want to have kids, but I wanna
make sure that we're able to travel…

909
00:46:30,078 --> 00:46:33,207
-Same. Spend time together before--
-Yeah. Exactly.

910
00:46:33,290 --> 00:46:35,125
…we spend time with the family.

911
00:46:35,209 --> 00:46:39,004
I don't wanna put a timeline on it.
I feel like you'll feel when you're ready.

912
00:46:39,087 --> 00:46:40,380
-That's how I feel too.
-Yep.

913
00:46:40,464 --> 00:46:43,217
I thought about you
so much yesterday after we left.

914
00:46:43,300 --> 00:46:47,596
There's just some… Like, last night,
I could not get you out of my mind.

915
00:46:47,679 --> 00:46:49,598
I'm like that. I'm in the same exact way.

916
00:46:49,681 --> 00:46:51,725
I think we're at a place
where we already know

917
00:46:51,809 --> 00:46:53,769
what the other's thinking
without saying it.

918
00:46:53,852 --> 00:46:55,521
It's weird and that's why, like--

919
00:46:55,604 --> 00:46:59,024
I've seen so many relationships,
like, something always has to happen.

920
00:46:59,107 --> 00:47:01,443
So, I'm like, something bad
is gonna happen.

921
00:47:02,027 --> 00:47:04,196
-Why do I cry so easily?
-It's okay.

922
00:47:04,279 --> 00:47:07,533
-I'm emotional.
-It's okay. I wish I could hug you.

923
00:47:07,616 --> 00:47:10,369
I know. I cry very easily.

924
00:47:10,452 --> 00:47:12,162
When I'm happy, when I'm sad.

925
00:47:12,246 --> 00:47:16,166
-When I'm mad. So, that's all I got.
-That's okay. I like that.

926
00:47:16,250 --> 00:47:19,127
You're sensitive. Be you. I like you.

927
00:47:19,211 --> 00:47:21,755
Here's what I want you to do.
Did you open your Ring Pop?

928
00:47:21,839 --> 00:47:23,757
-No, I did not.
-Open your Ring Pop.

929
00:47:24,258 --> 00:47:26,635
I hope it's sized correctly.

930
00:47:26,718 --> 00:47:29,304
-Put that on your ring finger.
-I will.

931
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:31,098
Imagine it's a princess cut.

932
00:47:33,308 --> 00:47:35,644
Yes. I'm so happy.

933
00:47:35,727 --> 00:47:40,607
Like, you make me happier than…
I don't know, I ever have been.

934
00:47:41,775 --> 00:47:44,361
I've never been
in any sort of relationship

935
00:47:44,444 --> 00:47:49,032
where I haven't had reservations,
or I haven't felt the kind of anxiety

936
00:47:49,116 --> 00:47:52,870
that I typically feel,
and that's what's, like… It's so weird

937
00:47:52,953 --> 00:47:55,914
and I don't believe it
because I don't know, like…

938
00:47:55,998 --> 00:47:57,916
This is what you do. You mess things up

939
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,295
by creating scenarios that don't exist.
Like, I don't deserve you.

940
00:48:01,378 --> 00:48:03,547
-Stop. Don't ever think that.
-Yeah.

941
00:48:03,630 --> 00:48:06,049
We're gonna be partners,
and be in this together.

942
00:48:06,133 --> 00:48:06,967
It's you and me.

943
00:48:07,050 --> 00:48:11,305
I love her strength
to share some of her insecurities.

944
00:48:11,388 --> 00:48:14,892
And I trust her completely.
I'm not afraid to tell her anything.

945
00:48:15,517 --> 00:48:18,770
I'm an acquired taste. I kind of act
in an acquired taste kind of way,

946
00:48:18,854 --> 00:48:20,814
and I've never felt like this.

947
00:48:20,898 --> 00:48:26,778
And it just seems to me
like that connection is so powerful

948
00:48:26,862 --> 00:48:30,991
that I can't imagine a life without her<i>,</i>

949
00:48:31,074 --> 00:48:34,036
and we never have
actually seen one another.

950
00:48:34,703 --> 00:48:37,873
That's just so crazy.
It's just mind-blowing.

951
00:48:46,298 --> 00:48:47,174
How are you?

952
00:48:47,257 --> 00:48:49,593
-Good. How are you feeling?
-Feeling really good.

953
00:48:49,676 --> 00:48:52,346
-Your gift's in here.
-I know.

954
00:48:54,014 --> 00:48:57,643
When I first met you,
I was very attracted to your energy.

955
00:48:58,602 --> 00:49:00,979
Then, as I got to know you,

956
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:03,440
and I got to know your story,

957
00:49:03,523 --> 00:49:07,861
and I got to know what makes you tick,
and why you are the way you are,

958
00:49:07,945 --> 00:49:11,406
and why you think the way you think,
and feel the way you feel,

959
00:49:11,907 --> 00:49:13,533
I felt connected to you

960
00:49:14,034 --> 00:49:19,164
in a way that I don't know
if I've ever really felt before.

961
00:49:19,247 --> 00:49:20,082
Yeah.

962
00:49:20,582 --> 00:49:23,418
And we talked
about coming from families

963
00:49:23,502 --> 00:49:27,214
where we didn't have
an ideal marriage to look at,

964
00:49:27,297 --> 00:49:31,385
and we talked about
how we could write our own story.

965
00:49:31,468 --> 00:49:34,513
And now, if you wanna open the gift…

966
00:49:37,557 --> 00:49:40,519
This is the start of our story,

967
00:49:40,602 --> 00:49:43,563
where we meet in these pods
and we don't get to see each other.

968
00:49:43,647 --> 00:49:47,776
But this is where it begins for us.
The rest of that book, it's empty

969
00:49:47,859 --> 00:49:49,695
and we can fill it with memories

970
00:49:49,778 --> 00:49:52,114
and adventures of everything
that a marriage can be.

971
00:49:59,121 --> 00:50:00,080
I'm on one knee.

972
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:01,540
Oh no.

973
00:50:02,374 --> 00:50:05,627
And I'm asking you if you will marry me.

974
00:50:11,675 --> 00:50:13,719
Yes. Oh my God.

975
00:50:17,681 --> 00:50:21,393
I'm gonna hug the wall right now.
Oh my God.

976
00:50:21,476 --> 00:50:23,061
I want to hug you so bad.

977
00:50:23,145 --> 00:50:27,524
Yes. Oh my God. Yes. I'm literally…
Stand against the wall and hug me back.

978
00:50:30,569 --> 00:50:31,403
I'm gonna cry.

979
00:50:32,404 --> 00:50:34,698
-I can't wait to marry you.
-I know.

980
00:50:36,616 --> 00:50:38,326
I'm so happy.

981
00:50:38,410 --> 00:50:40,996
Like, I genuinely am in love
and I think that he is too.

982
00:50:41,079 --> 00:50:43,832
And this experiment makes me feel
like it was meant to be.

983
00:50:43,915 --> 00:50:46,001
It's starting to sound like a fairy tale.

984
00:50:47,502 --> 00:50:50,464
Knowing how anxious I get all the time,

985
00:50:50,547 --> 00:50:54,092
and, like, how calm I felt today,
and how happy I was today,

986
00:50:54,176 --> 00:50:58,263
and not having a care in the world
other than looking forward to seeing you.

987
00:50:58,346 --> 00:51:02,142
Like, I've never had that
in any relationship or situation.

988
00:51:02,225 --> 00:51:03,769
Like, with work, with nothing.

989
00:51:03,852 --> 00:51:07,731
And I am the kind of person
who's constantly second-guessing myself,

990
00:51:07,814 --> 00:51:10,484
and then second-guessing
why someone wants to be with me.

991
00:51:10,567 --> 00:51:14,071
And now I don't have to do that
because I know exactly why.

992
00:51:14,154 --> 00:51:15,989
And I'm gonna make sure you always know.

993
00:51:16,073 --> 00:51:20,160
I typically don't trust the words that
are coming out of people's mouths,

994
00:51:20,243 --> 00:51:22,913
but I trust every single thing
that you say. Fully.

995
00:51:24,790 --> 00:51:27,375
-I wanna see you so bad right now.
-That's what's so hard.

996
00:51:27,459 --> 00:51:29,169
I need to hug something.

997
00:51:30,837 --> 00:51:32,089
I love you.

998
00:51:32,172 --> 00:51:34,382
-I love you.

999
00:51:42,474 --> 00:51:45,268
-We're engaged.
-It's so great, babe.

1000
00:51:48,063 --> 00:51:49,689
-Love you.
-Love you too.

1001
00:51:52,442 --> 00:51:53,276
I know.

1002
00:51:57,823 --> 00:51:59,407
Look at how cute this is.

1003
00:51:59,491 --> 00:52:01,743
-Are you engaged?
-Yeah.

1004
00:52:04,287 --> 00:52:06,540
-All right! Yeah!

1005
00:52:06,623 --> 00:52:07,499
Wedding day…

1006
00:52:07,582 --> 00:52:09,793
-Oh my God!
-You're engaged!

1007
00:52:09,876 --> 00:52:11,044
Oh my God!

1008
00:52:17,050 --> 00:52:18,009
Aloha.

1009
00:52:18,885 --> 00:52:20,220
Every time I talk to Shayne,

1010
00:52:20,303 --> 00:52:24,975
{\an8}I feel just so confident
and so overwhelmingly happy.

1011
00:52:25,058 --> 00:52:26,560
Like, my gut is just saying,

1012
00:52:27,144 --> 00:52:29,646
"I'm going to spend
the rest of my life with him."

1013
00:52:30,230 --> 00:52:32,482
I truly feel like he's the one.

1014
00:52:35,652 --> 00:52:36,945
-Hello.
-Hi.

1015
00:52:37,028 --> 00:52:39,281
-Who am I talking to?
-I don't know. Take a guess.

1016
00:52:39,364 --> 00:52:41,158
No, the… Oh, Shaina. There you go.

1017
00:52:42,409 --> 00:52:44,661
-What?
-That's who I was hoping for.

1018
00:52:45,912 --> 00:52:47,539
What are you wearing over there?

1019
00:52:50,041 --> 00:52:50,876
Hello?

1020
00:52:52,377 --> 00:52:53,795
Hello? Shaina, stop.

1021
00:52:54,838 --> 00:52:55,755
It's Natalie.

1022
00:52:55,839 --> 00:52:57,090
Of course.

1023
00:52:58,967 --> 00:52:59,843
I'm sorry.

1024
00:53:04,973 --> 00:53:05,807
Are you okay?

1025
00:53:07,684 --> 00:53:08,643
Are you good?

1026
00:53:11,521 --> 00:53:14,107
Like, what…
Do you think I'm a dick or what?

1027
00:53:16,443 --> 00:53:17,360
I mean…

1028
00:53:17,444 --> 00:53:21,156
If you think I'm a dick, I feel like
that's kind of weird. No offense, but…

1029
00:53:27,454 --> 00:53:30,790
Natalie, you're talking to other people
too, right? Are you not?

1030
00:53:34,127 --> 00:53:34,961
Hello?

1031
00:53:36,296 --> 00:53:37,130
Hello?

1032
00:53:38,465 --> 00:53:40,217
-Hello?
-Yeah, I'm here.

1033
00:53:40,300 --> 00:53:41,843
I'm just thinking.

1034
00:53:42,344 --> 00:53:45,972
-Why?
-I just feel, like, a little bit led on.

1035
00:53:46,056 --> 00:53:46,932
For real?

1036
00:53:47,432 --> 00:53:49,434
-Yeah. Kind of.
-How so?

1037
00:53:49,935 --> 00:53:52,562
If you want to explore another connection,

1038
00:53:52,646 --> 00:53:55,649
then don't talk about, like,
what we're gonna do in Chicago

1039
00:53:55,732 --> 00:53:58,652
and, like, all this stuff.
Like, don't say that.

1040
00:53:58,735 --> 00:54:00,779
So I'm gonna be honest with you,

1041
00:54:00,862 --> 00:54:03,198
because I'm trying
to give everyone an open mind

1042
00:54:03,281 --> 00:54:07,661
going into our conversations.
I don't ever wanna make you feel bad,

1043
00:54:07,744 --> 00:54:12,249
but I'm here to, like,
try to, like, find my wife.

1044
00:54:12,332 --> 00:54:16,044
I'm giving everything I have to it.
I'm a very passionate person.

1045
00:54:16,127 --> 00:54:18,546
I have to talk to other people.

1046
00:54:18,630 --> 00:54:24,386
I was just hurt because I've been very
clear that I have strong feelings for you

1047
00:54:24,469 --> 00:54:26,930
and clearly you have feelings
for her and that's fine.

1048
00:54:27,013 --> 00:54:30,058
-But don't lead me on and just be honest--
-I'm not leading you on.

1049
00:54:30,141 --> 00:54:32,143
I'm not trying to lead you on whatsoever.

1050
00:54:32,227 --> 00:54:35,480
You're on the cover of my book
with a heart on it, for Christ's sake.

1051
00:54:35,563 --> 00:54:38,108
You're my number one.
I want you to know that.

1052
00:54:41,361 --> 00:54:42,904
I'm here for the right reasons--

1053
00:54:42,988 --> 00:54:45,407
I'm not doubting
you're here for the right reasons,

1054
00:54:45,490 --> 00:54:47,242
but don't, like, feed me bullshit.

1055
00:54:53,873 --> 00:54:56,209
This is not fair.
It's not fair at all.

1056
00:54:56,293 --> 00:54:59,587
-Can I finish?
-I'm put in this position. It's like…

1057
00:54:59,671 --> 00:55:01,923
This is not normal,
what we're going through.

1058
00:55:02,007 --> 00:55:04,259
Why am I getting,
I guess, beat up about it?

1059
00:55:04,342 --> 00:55:07,345
It's like… This is the whole experience.

1060
00:55:07,429 --> 00:55:09,848
I don't wanna make you feel
like you're being beat up.

1061
00:55:09,931 --> 00:55:12,100
I'm not trying to come after you at all.

1062
00:55:12,183 --> 00:55:14,185
I'm trying to understand, truly.

1063
00:55:14,269 --> 00:55:16,938
I don't want you to be mad or frustrated--

1064
00:55:17,022 --> 00:55:20,942
I'm very frustrated because I don't know
how much more reassurance I can give you.

1065
00:55:22,610 --> 00:55:26,114
What I'm trying to figure out is
if you think this is going anywhere.

1066
00:55:30,452 --> 00:55:33,580
If… this little hiccup is, like,

1067
00:55:33,663 --> 00:55:36,082
that big of a deal,
and that changes everything,

1068
00:55:36,166 --> 00:55:39,419
then maybe this is not
what we thought it was, I guess.

1069
00:55:50,096 --> 00:55:52,390
I'm just done
with this whole situation right now.

1070
00:55:53,224 --> 00:55:57,395
I'm gonna leave. It's not worth it
for me being here anymore.

1071
00:56:05,653 --> 00:56:06,488
Fuck.

1072
00:56:21,795 --> 00:56:22,879
What happened?

1073
00:56:22,962 --> 00:56:25,006
I don't even want to be here anymore.

1074
00:56:25,090 --> 00:56:26,758
-Hey, girl!

1075
00:56:27,342 --> 00:56:28,760
Natalie, are you okay?

1076
00:56:28,843 --> 00:56:30,303
No, not at all.

1077
00:56:32,097 --> 00:56:33,515
Okay. Okay.

1078
00:56:33,598 --> 00:56:34,641
It's fine. It's fine.

1079
00:56:41,231 --> 00:56:42,357
I'm bouncing.

1080
00:57:04,003 --> 00:57:09,300
I've chosen Danielle to be my wife.
Someone that I've never even seen before.

1081
00:57:09,801 --> 00:57:10,760
I'm shocked.

1082
00:57:11,261 --> 00:57:14,514
I would've never guessed this days ago,
but it's real.

1083
00:57:16,933 --> 00:57:19,686
Everyone wants to be loved
for who they are on the inside,

1084
00:57:19,769 --> 00:57:22,939
and I feel so grateful I was able
to go through this experience,

1085
00:57:23,022 --> 00:57:24,983
to finally find someone who truly does.

1086
00:57:25,066 --> 00:57:26,693
No doubt in my mind that he does.

1087
00:57:26,776 --> 00:57:29,446
There's no doubt
that I love Nick for who he is.

1088
00:57:30,738 --> 00:57:33,992
I know him and he knows me
more than anyone else.

1089
00:57:36,119 --> 00:57:38,830
The fact that she's chosen me

1090
00:57:38,913 --> 00:57:43,835
to be a partner and get married to
and be her husband the rest of her life

1091
00:57:43,918 --> 00:57:48,047
is one of the most humbling
and satisfying feelings

1092
00:57:48,131 --> 00:57:49,591
I think I've ever felt.

1093
00:57:51,509 --> 00:57:53,761
I don't feel I've ever had a connection

1094
00:57:53,845 --> 00:57:56,639
or really had this type of love
with someone before.

1095
00:57:56,723 --> 00:58:00,518
I think she's the greatest person
probably in the entire world.

1096
00:58:06,816 --> 00:58:09,444
I've tried
picturing seeing Nick

1097
00:58:09,527 --> 00:58:11,321
and not liking him in my head

1098
00:58:11,404 --> 00:58:12,864
a thousand times.

1099
00:58:12,947 --> 00:58:15,658
I pictured him as, like, one-foot tall.

1100
00:58:15,742 --> 00:58:19,537
I pictured him as eight-feet tall,
as 300 pounds, as 50 pounds.

1101
00:58:19,621 --> 00:58:22,874
I pictured him
in every single physical way possible.

1102
00:58:23,374 --> 00:58:26,878
I've been almost, like,
picturing him as a big blue wall

1103
00:58:26,961 --> 00:58:30,173
because that is what I'm staring at
every time we have a conversation.

1104
00:58:30,256 --> 00:58:33,218
The fact that I already feel
like the luckiest girl in the world,

1105
00:58:33,301 --> 00:58:35,428
how can I not be attracted to him?

1106
00:58:35,512 --> 00:58:40,141
He could walk out with no teeth
and I'd still go and kiss his mouth. So…

1107
00:58:46,397 --> 00:58:48,650
My biggest fear
coming into <i>Love Is Blind</i>

1108
00:58:48,733 --> 00:58:51,027
was that someone was
going to see me for the first time

1109
00:58:51,110 --> 00:58:54,906
and I wasn't going to exceed
their expectations in terms of looks.

1110
00:58:54,989 --> 00:58:57,700
And I feel so strongly
about the connection I have with Nick

1111
00:58:57,784 --> 00:59:00,161
that I don't even necessarily
have that fear anymore.

1112
00:59:00,245 --> 00:59:03,039
I think he's such a good person
and such a good match for me,

1113
00:59:03,122 --> 00:59:06,668
that I think he'll see me for who I am
and think I'm beautiful regardless.

1114
00:59:06,751 --> 00:59:10,088
But you always want the love of your life
to think you're beautiful.

1115
00:59:12,048 --> 00:59:14,300
It's crazy. I have goosebumps. Like,

1116
00:59:14,384 --> 00:59:17,262
"Don't look at my legs,
because the hair's growing."

1117
00:59:50,336 --> 00:59:53,464
{\an8}
