-Oh, my God. -Where do we start?
* Party in the Eden Room *
Might be taking things up a notch.
Before you have sex, what is something
that you would want your partners to know about you?
-That's, like, almost a commitment for me.
-Maximo and Ash told Jonathan that they wanted
to explore options with him.
-Oh, my God.
I just want to know, are you guys planning
to pick Jonathan at the next ceremony?
We're starting to learn that,
listen, these people are not your friends.
-So there's something I wanted to talk to you all about.
-Uh-oh. -I didn't know that I would have
feelings for Ash and Maximo.
But I don't want to swap. -So, what, you just want
to go kiss Ash?
-Maybe I was right about Sanu.
She the one person who ain't never switch up.
-We are ready to swap.
-He wants to be with Dracula number one and two.
We're done with that.
-We would love to stay.
-We are going to stay.
-I really did appreciate, like, our experience with Sanu.
-I don't know what exactly they're thinking.
Anything can happen.
-I have a couple more days here.
Do I really want to spend my experience
feeling weird as fuck?
**
-Brittne, Sean. The question is,
are you gonna stay, or are you gonna swap?
**
-We would love nothing more than to...
**
...continue to get to know this ball of joy
and this great person sitting in front of us, Darrien.
-Great.
Were you nervous about where that was headed?
-Honestly, I feel like it made us closer
that we were able to go through that rift and able to heal it.
-Yeah.
-* Feeling good * -* Feeling good *
-So I'm hoping that we can all continue to grow together
and learn how to maneuver through more challenges.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-Wow, what a night.
We've got three stays and one swap.
While this was officially the last Stay or Swap Ceremony,
nothing here is ever really set in stone,
and the experience at the resort is far from over for any of you.
Unmatched singles, you may now leave the resort.
**
-Bye, guys.
-There is a lot for all of you to talk about.
The resort is once again yours.
-All right.
**
-Oh, we got the fire pit going.
-Oh. -How you guys feeling?
-Good. Our favorite little couch area.
-This is our favorite place.
-Okay, first of all, can we just have a cheers
to the fact that we are now all together?
-Cheers to that. -Cheers to that.
-Cheers, cheers, cheers. -[ Sighs ]
-I just wanted to make sure.
Are you okay with everything that went on?
Are you -- Are you good? -Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
-Honestly, like, full disclosure,
it was just exactly...
everything we needed to move on.
-I mean, it is -- it is awkward having him back --
not only back in the house, but back in the house
actively dating two people that we've been living with.
That's -- That's awkward.
Like, let's just call it what it is.
It's awkward. But at the end of the day, like,
I just want to put my time and focus and energy into this
and just not put it into anything else.
Jonathan has told us now, time and time again,
that he doesn't want to move forward with us.
So I am ready to just emotionally,
mentally, and physically move on from him.
-That chapter is done, and now I am just so excited to see
and write our chapter with Frank.
-Absolutely.
-We've been hoping that, obviously,
we would have this chance to explore more with you.
-Yeah. -I can assure you that, like,
of course you're beautiful and, like,
we're physically attracted to you.
-Yeah, you guys are beautiful, too.
-Yeah. -Whoo!
[ Laughter ]
I'm, like, losing my own mind right now
because I'm like, "Damn, I just feel so much love."
[ Laughter ] -Oh, that's good.
I am super excited. -Just like, "Whoo!" Yes.
-My head is spinning. Spinning.
Obviously excited to be here with my new couple.
But I keep thinking about Ashmal and Rehman.
I kind of want to get my closure.
-Ashmal and Rehman, sounds like they found closure.
You know what I mean? -Yeah.
And I -- like, I hope we can just squash and move on
and people don't continue to talk, but...
-I don't think -- yeah. Like, I feel like the boys
are gonna want to talk to me. -Oh, absolutely.
-Yes. And we can even, like, facilitate it.
**
-What a beautiful and interesting evening.
-Yeah, it was a lot more, like, surprising than what I thought.
-You think so? -I didn't think that
Jonathan was going to step forward.
-Okay. I'm obviously ecstatic Johnathan's back.
-Same. -You know what I mean?
I love Jonathan. -Yeah.
-I do think that Ash is going to be able to handle
this a lot more than Rehman. -Same, I agree.
-Well, you just tell Rehman --
just he makes it so obvious what he's feeling.
-He literally has no idea that he's giving away so much.
-Do you think he's going to willingly talk to Jonathan now
that he's back? -No.
-You don't think so? -I don't think so either.
-Shit is going to hit the fan.
-It's a lot. -Yeah, take your time, process.
-Yeah, well, let's squash this shit.
-What do you guys dislike most about each other?
-He hates that I steal his socks.
-Yeah, because he steals my socks
and then he doesn't put them back.
So then I'm like, well, then what?
-He always complaining about my socks.
-Hi. -Yeah.
-Are you okay? -Yeah, I'm okay.
-I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this.
-Alright, shh, shh. Everybody be quiet.
-[ Chuckles ] -Oh, shit.
-Let's sit over here. -Perfect.
-Hi, y'all. -Hello. How are you?
[ Indistinct conversations ]
-I'm actually, like, really worried
about everything over there.
I'm just really worried.
-How are y'all feeling? -Good, good.
-Yeah? -Good.
-How are you guys feeling? I feel good.
I think I just want to clear the air
and feel where y'all are at.
The situation that we're in right now,
and this is our throuple.
And so I think we just want to, like, touch base.
I don't know if I should talk or if y'all should talk.
-In all honesty, like, I think our thing is like,
we've already spent so much emotion
and so much time dealing with it that, like,
we like have limited time with Frank.
So it's like I'd rather invest all of our time in kind of
making this and growing this.
Like, genuinely no hard feelings.
It's more about like -- -Absolutely.
-I just don't like have that emotional bandwidth
for the ceremony. -I feel the tension,
I feel the tension. -Oh, no.
I need some popcorn.
-Where's the popcorn?
-I just want to make sure that everyone feels more comfortable.
So as long as y'all feel good, like, I feel good.
-Yeah, -Yeah. No, genuinely.
-I mean, I do want to have a conversation
with you guys, too.
I know you're shaking your head right now --
-We talked about it,
we don't need to have a conversation about anything.
-Especially right now. -But I think
as initial throuples,
there might be just some closure that could be helpful for y'all.
-I don't think we owe anyone an answer right now.
-I respect that. Right now it's way too fresh.
Let's just put it at that. -Okay?
-But you're not in the place to share or you don't like?
Because what you said is that you don't ever want
to have a conversation.
**
You can talk to us, Rehman.
-The relationship is between him and him and I.
Jonathan, I -- I do not owe you any answers.
We tried to talk to you at the mixer.
You kept saying I'm in my head, I don't know what to do.
We tried to ask you so many times.
Like, we can't keep putting in effort to understand
how you're feeling.
-Right, and then you guys chose someone after that.
-Yeah, to move on because you chose to move on.
So then we chose to move on as well.
-Okay. You can't expect me to just be like, okay.
-Well, you swapped out and we didn't have
an option to choose you. -Right, because you guys were
not on the same page.
-One thing I've been very open and clear about
is let's not talk about it right now,
because no one wants to.
-We're not really prioritizing Jonathan's feelings anymore.
We have done that so much
throughout this experiment. It's cost us,
I feel like, so much between our relationship.
Truly, we have no more time and energy for that.
-We've already missed so much time with Frank that, like --
-Oh, my God, five minutes?
-I'm talking about this experiment.
-[ Chuckles ]
[ Laughter ]
-I have no more time or energy
for these three clowns. -Alright, you'll have a --
-We gotta end it like that, man.
-We'll talk later. Or y'all talk later.
-Alright, guys. Alright, we're done.
-At the end of the day, we can't let other
people's discomforts hold us back from anything.
-Bye, Frank. -Bye, Frank.
-Jonathan is now an extension of our partnership,
and that's our priority number one in this house.
-If y'all gonna come for him, you're coming
for all of us, okay?
--This shit is going to be fucking nuts tomorrow.
-That's what I figured.
-Why the fuck you gotta engage, Rehman?
You could have just been quiet. -They wanted that.
-And they wanted to see you angry.
[ Indistinct conversation ]
-Exactly, yeah.
-You acted to make it look like you weren't over it.
-I am over it. We just kept saying --
-I know, but the way you're doing it.
I mean, we were very clear we don't want to talk right now.
They know what they're doing.
-They don't want anything to do with them.
And what the boys are saying about getting to know me more
is making me feel so happy.
Like, job well done, you know? And those feelings are mutual.
Yeah, let's just make the best of it.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
**
-Did you have fun tonight.
-Oh, yeah.
-Not getting involved with anything.
The only thing I'm getting involved in is our throuple.
-Do you understand, like, from our end,
I just want to focus on, like, us.
-Yeah.
-It makes me hurt for my friends, Ashmal and Rehman.
-They're dealing with a whole 'nother beast.
-They're dealing with a beast, a force to be reckoned with.
-But you know what it is? That's that East Coast shit.
-That East Coast shit.
-Are you feeling? -I'm not happy.
-It's okay to not be happy, babe.
-It's okay to not be happy.
-I thought I was going to be happier.
I'm happy that I stood down for, you know, Maximo and Ashley
and see if there's something there.
And I stood down, and I'm happy with that.
But I didn't know it was going to create this much of a chaos
because I still like the guys, I still feel for them.
I still want to have a conversation with the guys
and like that's why,
you know, Maximo and Ashley went over there.
You know, we try to ask to have a conversation
and right away you can just tell Rehman
just like a little more, like, he's in his feelings.
So he was more a little aggressive with --
-I know -- I know that the boys were
going to pick you, but they picked you first.
-That's what really shocked me.
I didn't know if they were going to choose me today.
There's just so much shit
going through my mind right now, you know?
But you can still see they're not on the same page.
-Right. Would you really want to continue to go back to that?
-Well, I wasn't going to because I know
that they need more time, but it just -- it sucks.
Yeah, so it's just like a lot because I really, like,
like them, like, I really did grow feelings for them.
-Aww. -I'll see you guys tomorrow.
-Yes. -Okay.
Mm.
-Oh, you're so cute. -Stop, stop.
-What is your vibe in terms of, like, sleeping arrangements?
What's comfortable to you? -Yeah.
-Okay, so I can be in the middle.
You guys okay with that? -I think maybe first day,
for fairness, you should be in the middle.
-Okay, cool. This whole shit is already weird.
Like, it's awkward and weird.
I'm obviously going to be sleeping tonight
with a new couple, but in the back of my mind,
I'm still thinking about the boys.
**
-* Oh, baby *
* You're all that I need *
* Yeah, you're all that I need, baby *
-Good morning. -Good morning.
-Jonathan is back in the house, and he's with Maximo and Ashley.
And last night they tried to have a conversation,
and Rehman told them to suck it.
[ Laughter ]
-Oh, gosh.
-I don't think it's going to be like yesterday.
-I think I'm just going to be clear, like --
Like, listen, you want to talk? I don't want to.
-I feel really attached and caring about how you feel.
Just giving you space to figure this out.
-Yeah.
-We're a throuple now.
**
-Alright, alright. Sun is out.
-I'm just saying, if we look like we're not on the same page,
if I say something, you need to be supportive of it.
-Right. But if you become a rude, right?
And if you take the bait. -Okay, then don't have my back.
-I'm having your back. I'm just --
I'm literally just saying something, Rehman.
There's no way of knowing what's going on in that boy's head.
But it's a whole lot of me, me, me.
There's no we in, Rehman. There's only an M.E.
-Alright, where are we sitting?
-What's up, Dylan? How are you?
-Hey. -You want to sit there or here?
-Oh, you got the crunchy cookie?
-Good morning, Jess. Go grab one, yeah.
-Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
-We're still missing three people.
-I think I'm going to step out.
No, no, no, no. I don't -- I'm not --
I don't -- not going to sit here through this.
-I just want you to know you -- you are like --
I love you, and you should just stay here.
-I can do what I want, though.
I'm my own person. I think I can step out if I want to.
-I know, but just like --
but just don't let them, like, let you --
-I'm going. I'll be back. I'll be back.
-Yeah, just take a second. -Yeah.
I just don't think it makes sense to engage
in Maximo and Ash anymore.
I personally don't want to sit there and act
like nothing happened, or sit there and blow up at them
and give them exactly what they want.
-What happened?
-He's just like I don't want to deal with it, so...
Literally last night I was just like, Maximo and Ashley,
we don't have an emotional conversation.
They just weren't taking no for an answer.
But then they kept poking and prodding and poking and prodding
and poking and prodding, they kept trying to get Rehman.
They were like, Rehman, we want to make sure
that you can speak up. Rehman, speak up.
-He'll speak up if he wants to speak up.
-Hey, morning. -Good morning.
-You know, we're getting feisty.
-I already feel so bad with the situation.
Seeing Rehman is not at the breakfast table,
knowing that I've upset them.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
He likes to avoid the situation. It's a shitty feeling.
--I was out like a light. -Like a light?
-Who slept in the middle? -Jonathan.
Because I have to have, like, my leg out, you know, sometimes.
[ Laughs ]
-Hello? Can I come in?
Hey.
Hi. -What's up?
-Do you mind if I just sit here real quick?
Please? -Okay.
-I wanted to come here and just check in on you,
because I can't stop thinking about you and Ashmal.
And I know it just sounds so stupid,
because yesterday I made another decision,
but I couldn't risk stepping forward and going for you guys
and then finding out things that I didn't know.
Like, I still didn't know where you guys were at with Frank.
It was a possibility that you guys probably
would have stood with Frank.
I didn't know -- I didn't know where you guys head was at,
but I wanted to step forward for you guys.
But I just didn't know what you guys were going to do.
Do you not care about any of that?
-I'm just, like, over it.
I think we're just focusing on moving on right now.
**
-The truth is, I really do like you.
Would have you guys -- would have picked me if I didn't go,
if I didn't step down for them? And I --
-That's all irrelevant now.
I'm focusing on my relationship with Ashmal and Frank.
-Yeah, but do you want to do that?
-Yeah, I do.
-Okay, so you want to -- You want something with Frank?
-Yeah.
I think for the first time we're both feeling
equally the same way about a person.
-I know that I fucked up, but...
-Okay.
-I pretty much admitted everything
of how I was feeling to him,
and like I still wasn't getting anything back.
It showed a lot and it kind of started making me realize
maybe there's nothing here anymore.
-Hey, I just came to check on you,
but I can give you -- -No.
-Do you want to stay? -No, I was just.
-No, yeah, I just wanted to make sure you weren't alone.
-Oh, no. Are you guys coming up or...?
-I was going to, like, work out.
-Oh, I can come work out.
**
-How'd that go? -It's fine.
I didn't -- I didn't really give him anything.
**
-Quality time definitely is.
Quality time and physical touch.
-Is like your two highest love language.
-With Jonathan it's like we have a conversation,
and it's just like,
whoa, we align in a lot of ways,
but also are inspired by and like --
like how beautiful of a person.
-Junior kissed on the first night.
That's what we were with Becca. -Becca kissed on the first date.
You know what I mean? And then now with Jonathan...
-We haven't yet. -...we haven't kissed him.
-You know what's really funny?
Because that's kind of where we are with Jess, right?
-Aww.
-Is there any concerns with that?
Or are you still, like, just we've talked about it.
-Okay. -So really all it
comes down to is time.
I would like to progress to the next step,
and I know Dylan does, too. -Meaning kissing or like...?
-Kissing, literally just like kissing
instead of just kind of laying in bed and go to sleep.
We cuddle and stuff, but I think we're both ready for that.
I really do see this being a serious relationship
with Jess after this or,
you know, continuing.
We're still respecting boundaries,
still taking our time,
but having experiences with Becca, then Mia,
we have everything that we need
to make this really successful with Jess.
Dylan and I can really see this going past this experiment.
**
-Well, how are you, honestly? -I'm good.
It's a little awkward.
Yeah, it's a little awkward, obviously.
-Yeah, but are you feeling the boys?
-Right now for like, it's going slow, you know, it's cool.
It's still getting to know each other.
I'm not jumping into anything like really fast.
I know when you were in here, you guys kind of like...
-Not right away, though. -...jumped right into it.
**
Slow and steady wins the race. Yeah. No.
-Yeah. How are you feeling?
I know it must be a lot for you, you know?
-Yeah. Like, I still like them. -Huh?
-I still like them, if I'm being honest with you.
-Oh, yeah? -Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
-Hearing that Jonathan still has feelings for the boys,
it was definitely a shocker.
So, let the games begin.
[ Laughs ]
Did you -- did you tell them that you still like them?
-I told Rehman that I still -- I still have feelings for him
and, like, that's not going to go away overnight
and I still have feelings for Ashmal.
I just haven't talked to Ashmal about it yet.
-Stay away from my man.
**
-What is your most embarrassing moment?
-Um, I don't get embarrassed really easily.
I don't know, like, I guess I was, like,
staying at a friend's house one time,
and I, like, pissed the bed. -[ Laughs ]
Then, like, I pissed the bed with Rehman one time
and I wasn't embarrassed, like...
-[ Laughs ]
-I was in Tulum, and I was working out.
[ Chuckles ] And I was like in short-shorts,
And I looked down and my -- and my penis was hanging out.
Like, literally, it's been out for a cool minute.
I was like... -That's weird.
**
-This is super awkward,
especially after Jonathan and I's conversation.
He's just sitting here kind of like lingering,
and I'm not going to just hand them to you, you know?
Are you going to tan? -Maybe. I'm kind of hot.
-I miss you. -Huh?
-I miss you. Come sit here.
**
-Where's Rehman?
-He just doesn't want to be around everything.
-He's tired. -he has to stop
avoiding everything.
It makes it awkward for everybody.
-Okay, you tell him that.
-Where's he at? -Upstairs in our room.
-I'm gonna fuck somebody up now.
-Yeah. -It's super chill.
-Super chill. Okay, body. Whoo!
Don't -- don't hurt us!
-Yo, Rehman.
-Oh, hey. Hey. What's up?
-You can't keep hiding up here in your castle.
-No, I'm not.
I wanted to come chill a little bit.
-When I see Rehman struggling,
I've taken it upon myself to reassure him and or talk to him
because he's always in his head.
I don't want him to spoil his experience by overthinking
and worrying about other shit
I was talking to Frank and Ashmal,
You know, they're like, yup, he's upstairs again.
-Oh, yeah, yeah. It's just weird.
-But you understand this, though, right?
You coming up here and being like this,
that gives the situation, like, power.
Just give it a fuck it, like, it is what it is.
And you said like, yo, if they were to have closure
or pick him, I'd be done, so be done.
-Yeah, yeah. -Because Maximo and Ash,
they don't -- they don't care.
They're only going to care if it seems like you care.
And I don't even take them for people who are going to like,
emotionally, try to like dump on you or fuck with you unless --
-Oh, no, they did. They did that last night.
That's why this morning I was like,
I'm not going to be sitting at the table
because I don't want it to turn into
another situation like last night.
-Yeah, but fuck that. Who cares? Fuck it.
Don't -- don't fucking fuck up
your time here based off of that.
Enjoy your current situation. -Yeah, yeah.
-Because you got your boyfriend and your partner out there
waiting, like, where are you at and you up here, you know?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Anything that makes
you uncomfortable makes you stronger.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's true.
I have to say, I love Sean every single day more and more,
because this is a wake up call.
At the end of the day, I only have a limited amount of energy,
and I'm going to put that all into people that care about me,
love me, respect me. That's what's important in life.
And that's what I'm going to focus on today.
**
-Give me a hug and kiss.
**
-Jess, what are you feeling?
-Yeah. Jess, what are you feeling?
I can't read you.
-I worry a little bit because talking about,
like, the emotional and the physical thing,
like, I'm not the straight to the gun physical person.
And so -- and I don't -- we haven't really like --
I know they've been very, like, considerate of that
and like making me feel very comfortable
and I appreciate that and I like that,
but there's still a part of me that's like,
am I not delivering what they want?
Like, are they comfortable with telling me
if they want more physical?
-I feel like emotionally they're there with you
and they're willing to wait for you
to be physical with them at this point.
Like, y'all's connection is just like...
[ Snaps finger ]
-I mean, Dylan and Lauren, this whole time
have made me feel so welcome, so comfortable,
and I have some work that I need to do
on just being comfortable in a throuple situation.
I feel like I'm starting to overthink, like,
am I stuck at this rut, like...
-Oh, babe.
-Yeah, I don't know. It's like --
Like, what if I, like, don't get there?
Mm-hmm.
-Right.
-I'm just like -- I'm just like always
thinking about it, because, like, they're so sweet.
-But seriously, just like,
don't -- don't rush into it if you really don't.
If it's not there right now, it's okay.
And I think they will understand that.
-Yeah.
We love you. -Love you guys.
**
-So I walked in on an interesting
loaded conversation with Jonathan.
-Yeah, I mean, basically he's like,
oh, I made a mistake.
I don't really want to be with Maximo and Ash.
I am not really interested in them.
I'm -- I still have feelings for you and Ashmal.
-And it's not like he looked reluctant
while stepping forward either.
-Yeah, that's my thing. -And it's like a
little too late, you know? -Yeah, it is.
We picked Frank because we want to get to know Frank.
You know, I don't mean to sound arrogant,
but I'm like, I'm not surprised
that you're saying that you want to come back to us.
We are hot, we're attractive. -We're really fun.
-We both are very much so catches.
I'm sorry that you --
it took you that long to realize that
or you had to go through some fucking shit to realize that.
But guess what? Your actions have consequences,
and this is just a consequence of that.
-The biggest consequence is you lost us.
-Yeah.
-The day after the swap or stay ceremony,
he's like, can you please spot me again?
-You're on some bullshit.
-Bro, we still got it. -[ Laughs ]
Oh, my God.
-* Gotta love yourself *
-Make out with someone.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-You kind of convinced me that you didn't have
any feelings for him. -And I didn't, but
I think they just came flooding back.
**
-You have really nice eyes. -Thank you.
It's like the little, like slant,
the way it's just structured.
-Yeah. -Um, I feel great.
-Good. I love to hear that.
-Glad that I got Jonathan to step down.
-That was gag. -And it just
sucks that his past
throuple are just approaching him
with so much hostility and, like, discarding.
And it's just -- it's honestly just, like,
really toxic gay shit.
I think, Jonathan,
you know, it seems like he's been through some tough
situations with Ashmal and Rehman.
I don't know how positive. of an experience
that was with polyamory, and I would love
to be able to explore maybe something not
so chaotic.
**
-Hey. -Hey.
-I wanted to talk to you. -How are you?
-I'm good.
-I just want to start off by saying I'm sorry.
Just the way shit played out and just where we're at right now.
Yesterday, I wanted to step down for you both.
I changed my mind here, and then I was like,
why would I go and step down for you guys?
Possibly you guys don't want to swap Frank.
And then that's my journey here.
Now I'm in this situation where it's fucking weird.
Like, I'm emotionally unavailable
because I keep thinking about you both.
And I thought I should have went with my gut.
-My last chance to you was going to be this day or swap.
And then just seeing you step forward, it was like, okay,
well, that's fully done.
And then just the way that conversation went
and just seeing you with your new throuple and like,
yeah, this is my group and this is how we talk to people.
Really bad taste, you know, like in my mouth.
As for moving forward, I think it's just like --
it's -- I think this is the closure talk.
I have no hard feelings towards you.
I have nothing but genuine love and care for you.
because I got to know the person that you are,
and I really do like that person.
And I think just friendship is,
like the best way to move forward.
-It's officially like we're done.
Yeah, I fucked up.
* Feel me, I'm right here *
* Don't hurt me *
**
-Talking to Jonathan, it is kind of a nice validation
of like we did have some amazing times together, and everything
I was feeling that for him, like negative emotion
kind of just went away. And I think when that went away,
it revealed that emotional connection is still there.
[ Sighs ]
**
-You're so cute.
-If I'm cute, you're cute because we're twins.
**
-My God, they got Jenga!
-Alright, I love Jenga. -Whoo!
-In the last 24 hours, I feel like some couples
have been having a shit time with everything going on.
-Alright, who's going first? -Let's bring it on.
-Easy, easy, easy.
-So hopefully tonight we get to have some fun.
-Wow, this is nuts. [ Laughter ]
And break up all the tension. -Very much needed.
-Yeah.
The tallest and the shortest person kiss.
[ Cheering ]
**
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
-Make out with someone.
-Is this the first kiss?
-We vote Jess. -I mean, we had one kiss.
[ Chanting "We vote Jess" ]
-Alright. Make it steamy, ladies.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Okay, let's go.
-I feel like that was a good, appropriate time
to have a little me and Lauren's first little makeout sesh.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-She a good kisser? -Oh, 100%.
-Is she a good kisser? -Yeah.
-It was a good show. -Mmm.
-[ Laughs ]
That was awesome. Good job, ladies.
-For this, I'm going to choose who I want to kiss.
Let's go with my boy, Frank
and Rehman.
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
-Y'all gotta give us a show.
They practiced this.
[ Cheering ]
**
-Nominate someone to kiss.
Darrien and Brittne.
-Oh, okay. Cool. Yeah.
-Is this another first kiss?
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Okay, Brittne's like I'm ready. Oh, my God.
**
-* Love who you love *
[ People awwing ]
[ Cheering ]
-Yes, sir!
[ Laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Laughter ]
-Cheers to that one!
-We both were not going to make the first move,
so I feel like it was perfect, that it was the right game,
and I feel like it took a lot of the pressure off of it
being the first kiss. -It did.
-That was good. -I mean, that was --
that was definitely a good kiss, to say the least.
-[ Laughs ]
-Oh, yeah. Okay.
-Oh, man. -What it say?
-It says a three-way kiss.
[ Everyone "oohs" ]
It will be our first kiss, if you guys are okay with that.
-I'm okay. -I'm okay with that.
-I want to see this. -Yeah, just like that.
**
-Yeah. -Okay, take your time.
[ Cheering ]
-We had our first kiss.
-And it was...
-It was good. -Delicious.
-We broke the ice. -Just good?
-No, we broke -- It was great.
-I'm just kidding. -We broke the ice.
[ Laughs ] -That was cute.
That was good. -That was great.
-And now the door is wide open.
-Fuck it, I'm making my own for this one.
Mm, how can we make this shit crazier
than what it already was? -Spice it up.
-Y'all three kiss, and, Frank,
you have to catch them both. -Ooh.
-Don't fall over, Frank.
[ Cheering ]
**
Keep going, I don't care. -Whoo!
-Watching them have their first kiss,
It was uncomfortable, it was weird.
-You got it. -You sure?
[ Everyone screaming ]
-It's alright, it's okay.
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
-How you doing? -How do you feel after that?
I think we needed that, honestly.
-I thought it was perfect.
We needed that to break some tensions.
-As spicy as that game was,
I could just tell that when you and Frank kissed,
you know, I was looking at Jonathan's face
because I thought I was fully over it.
Right? But, like, I just kind of started replaying
all the good things and the good times in my head,
and it just kind of soften me up.
This is what I wanted.
-This is so --
I'm enjoying this, yeah. -Okay.
We did have a great time with him. What do you think?
-Well, you kind of convinced me
for a while now that you didn't have any feelings.
-And I didn't, but I think they just came
a little flooding back when I just saw him be so clear.
**
-I love that you guys loved it.
-I was having fun, but in the back of my mind,
I'm also just like,
I don't know where you're at in the conversations you've had.
-You know, I wanted to obviously tell you guys
and I'm trying to -- I was trying to figure out
honestly how to go about our conversations.
-So much in your head.
-And I want you guys to both know
that I still have feelings for the boys.
I still feel that.
-That was really hard to hear
because we are falling for Jonathan.
-And now I'm kind of afraid
if this throuple is going to last,
because I'm really feeling a little attached here.
-I definitely want to explore more with you.
I think Ash and I are both really excited
about you that we're willing to wait.
-Let's just keep hanging out Kiki and have good vibes.
-I kind of just feel bad for Frank,
but in terms of this experiment, like, yeah,
I think that's the only person like we really connected with.
-Me, too.
**
-He's putting a lot on the line by like with his new throuple
by telling us that he still has feelings for us.
-How do we move forward with that?
-I think we just talk to him.
-I would like to do it tonight if we can.
-Yeah, me too.
**
Hey, do you have a second?
-Yes.
-I just -- I wanted to tell you, like, we --
I really appreciate you talking to us today.
I know that took a lot.
**
We've both talked a lot about it,
and we'd love to talk to you more about it,
like longer or deeper, if you'd be open to it.
**
-Yes. Yes, I would love that.
**
-Do you want that, too? -Yeah, of course I do.
-Until then?
**
-Missed you guys. -Missed you.
-Alright. Good night. -Good night.
-I didn't see that coming. I am really shocked right now.
Hey.
But I'm excited to just really see, like,
where it can actually go.
-But how are you? Your energy feels lighter.
-You feel my energy being lighter?
-Yeah. You just seem a little more smiley,
and I don't know, not so in your head, which is nice.
**
-Lights out in three, two, one.
There we go. -Oh!
**
-Oh, no.
-Ew! Don't do that! -Come on!
Stop ruining the moment.
-Come on, let's go.
Ooh, yeah.
-Sean. -Alright. Fine.
I won't say anything. Go. I'll just look away.
**
Alright. That's actually pretty hot.
-It was? -Yeah, I'll sit back, like okay.
-Yeah, we know it was hot.
You're over here with your freaking ad libs.
-Okay, guys. -I'm being honest.
-Okay, you ready? -Mm-hmm.
**
-Okay.
-Alright, guys. I'm proud of us.
-[ Laughs ]
-Today, we figured it was a perfect time
for any unfinished business.
-Hello! -We were interested in you
like right away. There could be something there.
-What if it's literally not him?
-Who are you hoping for?
Darrien being an option would change everything.
-Oh, my God! -Shut up!
**
-Good morning.
**
-Favorite part of Jenga?
-Kissing Jess. -Damn. I was going to say that.
Watching you kiss Jess.
-Who do you guys think had the hottest kiss?
-Darrien and Brittne.
-When you can get Sean to smile,
that means you did something right.
-I thought you were going to be a bad kisser.
-Why? -'Cause we waited so long,
I wasn't sure. I had very low expectations.
[ Chuckles ]
**
-Morning, bo-ho. -Where do you want to sit?
-Good morning, good morning. -Good morning.
-Morning, morning.
-Yeah, I am.
-So whose mouth is sore from kissing yesterday?
-Think if anything, it's y'all three.
[ All speaking indistinctly ]
-Is that why you woke up this morning doing lip exercises?
-Yeah, lip exercises. [ Smooching ]
-Is that why? You got a smile too.
-Hey, y'all, hey! -Oh!
-Good morning. -Good morning.
-It's good to see everybody's beautiful faces.
Dylan said, hold on. I got to adjust my seat for this one.
Feel like it's some shit about to go down.
**
The question that really, probably everyone is kind of
asking themselves -- Is the throuple that you're in now
the one that's going to see you through the end
of this experience?
And so we figured it was a perfect time
for anyone with unfinished business to step up
and finally speak that piece and settle things once and for all.
-* Bum, bum, bum, bum *
-Now, of course, time to shake it up.
-So I've carefully selected a few singles for couples
who I feel might have something important to resolve with you.
Right? It won't be long until you're going to decide
if you leave this resort as a throuple.
So big decisions to make.
-Oh, Shamyra. -Oh, man.
I feel like Jonathan and us just kind of got started.
What if he goes and experiences something else
possibly? That kind of freaks me out.
-You do remember at the last stay or swap ceremony, I said
that nothing is really ever set in stone?
Right? So I'll be gathering you at the resort
for one last opportunity to decide
whether you're going to stay in the throuple that you're in,
or if you've made a decision and you want to change things.
-I'm shocked.
First, I was worried about Jonathan.
Now -- Now who do I got to worry about?
-Good luck. -Thank you.
-Y'all be good. -Bye, y'all.
-Bye. -Bye.
-They came and dropped the bomb and left.
-Mic drop. -That's it.
-If you want to switch it up
and experience something else, you could.
-Plot twist. -'Cause I think Peach
is coming back for y'all.
**
-Who's going to come to see us?
-There's a part of me that wants Becca
to make another case.
I can totally see Junior trying to make a case, because we had
only like 12 hours together, -Darrien,
which I think it would be just a fucking boulder.
-If certain people come feeling like they want
to talk to me, if I don't care, I'm gonna let you know.
-I just felt so played.
-None of that is accurate.
-The only person that would make sense for us is Sanu.
-Because we love Sanu. She's hilarious.
-I don't think Becca is going to be any --
We've all been on the same page for quite some time now.
No. I could see Mia maybe having something else to say.
-Yeah, there's still probably some hurt feelings there.
-I would be surprised if we had unfinished business
with anyone else besides Jonathan.
-It could very well be Frank.
And maybe this is an opportunity for Frank
to really express how he feels.
-* Sometimes life gives you change *
* And I'm not even a bit afraid *
-Look how cute.
**
-Cheers. -Cheers.
-I think we were right.
-Uh-oh. -Hey, hey.
-I'm looking forward to getting some answers,
'cause the last conversation we had
left a very bad taste in my mouth.
-Good to see you, girl. Looking beautiful.
-Definitely have some salt that I'm feeling right now.
so it'll be good to talk it out. It does feel a little bit like,
oh, we're going to pick you up and play with you,
then put you down and pick someone else up.
And then maybe if we like you more,
we'll pick you up and play with you again.
-What's new?
-Well...
-Whew. I'll tell you what.
My armpits are sweating bullets right now.
**
-Alright. -Hi.
-Hey, Sanu. -Hey, y'all.
-You look cute. -Thank you.
I'm really just here to make sure that Brittne
and Sean know what I'm really feeling.
I just want to be clear on what I meant when I stepped down
and why I did that in the first place.
-Cheers to me being nervous as fuck.
-Same. Very excited. [ Both laugh ]
-I was more hurt than I thought.
Not even just 'cause I was like swapped out,
but it did make me feel kind of objectified.
You said you were looking for someone
who's bringing a physical aspect,
and you were hoping someone could give that to you.
-I never thought that we were physical touch people, you know?
So I think that's why we wanted to just see if there was
a little something that aligns with us a little bit more
and just see what happens, you know?
-It really felt like a nice way of saying,
we're looking for a threesome.
-Whoa, like, I thought we talked things out,
and we were good at the masquerade.
-I don't know.
**
-I feel like it ended off kind of prematurely.
-Yeah. -You know?
Maybe not. I don't know. -It did.
It definitely did.
-We didn't get a chance to experience you, so...
-For like, who you actually are.
-That's honestly what's the bittersweet part
of the last day was, damn.
-Without even knowing it, I think I just started
trying to behave a certain way, trying to control how things go.
I think that made me look bad. -No.
-Just you talking about this, like, I just feel -- Everything
I may have thought about you just goes out the window.
-If we had had that, like, last conversation,
like on day one, for instance, do you think
that would have changed the outcome of the situation?
-I think so, for sure,
because we were interested in you like right away.
-So we can't really check you off the list as doesn't work.
-Yeah. -We don't know.
-We're trying to find what qualities
and what dynamic works for us
when we do leave this experience, you know?
We were just missing, like, those small little things
that we really meant by physical touch,
like the hand holding and little things, not sexual.
-I guess I just felt dismissed.
I don't know. Like, I did have a bad taste in my mouth,
and I was really like, well, thanks for making it very clear.
Like, sorry I didn't put out for you.
Like, good luck with the next one.
-Yeah.
-I'm just really, really glad that she's sharing all this
with us. We don't just want her for sex.
We've enjoyed every single day with her.
-That was not meant to come off that way.
We've always had good intentions.
We're not the most well versed in polyamory,
so this is a learning experience in so many dynamics for us.
-You really do mean a lot to us,
and I just want you to know that.
-When you guys at the last ceremony,
like, did, like, acknowledge me,
that was like a really emotional moment for me.
-Coming into this, we had no idea what we wanted.
-Yeah. -And Sanu definitely helped us,
you know, in so many ways
figure out the things that we really did want.
-Yeah. Thank you. -Thank you.
-I think at that moment, it kind of came full circle
for me emotionally, like, I do want to try again.
If for any reason you guys want to continue exploring,
I'm fully open for that. I really do believe,
like, genuinely, like, in the real world,
we could have a connection. We all do the same thing.
-I think so, too. -We have the same mind-set.
-We're definitely glad that we had this time with Sanu,
and each time, her confidence
comes through more and more and more.
-There could still be something there,
because we never got to really explore that avenue.
So there could be something there.
Cheers to seeing what happens next.
-Here we go.
-A lot of my animosity that I felt towards you guys
has been cleared up. -Oh, good.
-Cause I was really hurt, and I now feel --
Like, I feel like we're more on the same page
and I, like, understand it better.
-I don't want you to think we just don't care about you.
Just because we decided to swap
and then stay doesn't mean that all of a sudden,
like, everything that we all did together
is just, like, forgotten.
-I will just put it out there and say,
if you guys do want to re-explore things with me,
I would be open to it.
-I love that. -There's still time in this.
Whatever's thrown our way these next few days,
we don't want to lose you. -I don't want that, either.
I'm so glad we were able to talk.
-I am, too. Things are going really well with Jess.
But honestly, we really enjoyed our time
with Mia. -'Cause she's so fun,
and we love fun, so we're still keeping a very open mind.
**
[ Both sigh ]
-Alright. -I am kind of freaking out,
wondering, like, who's going to show up.
**
-[ Gasps ] -Hi!
-Oh, my God! -Shut up!
-I'm gagging, but in a way that I have never gagged before.
-My mind is jumbled up.
Darrien being an option I think would change everything.
Wow.
-Hi. -[ Squealing ]
-Wow.
The last person we would expect to come in is Darrien.
-Yeah. I'm just wondering, like, what unfinished business?
-This is so cute!
-This is your vibe, no? -It is my vibe.
-Wait. This is real life? -Thank you.
-There is still an attraction there.
I know that with Brittne and Sean,
we've got a really good thing going.
But I would love to explore
if there even is a spark with Maximo and Ash.
I am so attracted to you all
because you have this openness that just exudes.
And I love that, and I reflect that,
and I want to be in that space with you all.
I feel like everybody could see it, and like I could feel it
that there was an initial attraction.
-I want to kiss you.
-Why did my heart just like -- Okay.
**
I feel like you really see us.
And I feel like when we talk to you, like,
I just like -- I lose -- [ Laughs ]
I'm just wondering, like, why are you on this date with us?
-Okay. Coming here,
I'm just really trying to lean into how I really,
really feel outside of anybody else.
To be with Sean and Brittne,
I feel like I need to just be patient with them,
and I want their first experience
to be really good and healthy,
and I want to show them love and respect.
But...
Uh... [ Laughs ]
-Oh, my gosh. What does that mean?
-Uh, y'all are making it very hard, very hard.
Right now with Sean and Brittne,
I want to protect the bond that we have and, like,
stay true to my original, like, words of saying
I wanted it to be closed and then open. And like,
I feel like I'm at the point where I could open it.
But to like, just have respect for them,
I don't feel like I would be able to swap.
I would want to share. I would want to do both.
I wish I could duplicate myself,
because I want to be able to be fully present with you all
and with Brittne and Sean simultaneously.
-And so what happens if they disrupt what's going on?
-If they decide to go with somebody else,
I'm running to you all, honestly.
-Oh, it's like that. Okay. [ Laughs ]
-Okay.
-Just seeing Darrien,
it's like feelings, feelings, feelings, feelings.
-Mm. Aw.
-That's such a tease. It's fine.
That was perfect. Wow. I'm like this close
to just throwing it all out with loyalty.
And I'm like, can't we just all run into the sunset?
Best date ever.
-Best.
**
-What?
-Oh, my God!
-Becca's back.
-Hello. -Of course.
-Hi. It's good to see you guys.
Seeing them is overwhelming.
It's exciting, but I just --
I know that we have a lot that we need to talk about,
and I have a lot left unsaid.
-Cheers to you, Becca. -Cheers to you, Becca.
-Cheers to you guys. I missed you guys.
-I missed you. -I missed you.
-How's the drama been in the house?
-Oh, so many first kisses.
We had our three way kiss with Jonathan.
-Was it better than mine?
-No. But not to say that it wasn't a great kiss,
but it was a little weird -- -It was in front of everyone.
-It was our first kiss in front of everybody.
-Oh, yeah.
-I really want to see if I can emotionally connect
with Becca today, because one thing that
I can be sure of with Becca is that she does care for us.
-I just want to know how you've been feeling
since the last stay or swap ceremony.
-I felt a little caught off guard
because I thought that we had a really,
like, genuine, like, relationship
where we could all tell each other what was going on.
-You need to talk to your couple.
-Why? -Because they pretty much
told me that they're interested in exploring me.
-I really did try and provide, like, as much space
as I could for you guys to, like, be true with me.
-We didn't want to halt the energy with you
by letting you know,
oh, we want to explore this other person
if we didn't even know we wanted to.
-You did know you felt that way
because you were laying it on thick with him.
-Bringing that perspective,
I can see how that might felt disconnected.
-Yeah, it did a little bit.
It's kind of nice to like
get everything kind of out into the open,
and it's making me realize more and more
that I don't want to be involved in any more drama anymore.
I really do care about you guys.
-What I've learned from you, what I've grown through with you
is beautiful, amazing.
There is so many qualities of you that I admire
and that I'm now starting to take on even.
-We also have a really good bond
and a really great connection.
And I do feel like if we give ourselves
that time where we can both let our guards down,
it can be something really beautiful for all of us.
So I just want you guys to know that,
like, our story isn't done.
-It's not done. -Hell, no.
-Yeah.
I'm really glad that we had this chat.
-I'm so glad we had this chat, too.
**
-What if it's literally not him?
-If it's not him, like, I don't know
if I'm really even going to fully pay attention
to the other person, so...
-Oh, thank God. It's him.
-Hey, hey.
-Hello.
-Thank God.
I just want to let him know how we feel,
'cause he opened up to me, he opened up to you,
and I think it's time we open up to him together.
-How you feeling? Okay? -Um, yeah.
-Are you sure?
-Yeah, yeah, I am. So, I'm just curious.
Like, where is your head at?
Like, after everything that's happened up until now,
like, how would you -- How do you want to move forward?
-With Maximo and Ash,
like, I feel like I'm not emotionally there.
Like, I sometimes feel like I'm kind of, like, cheating
or just -- Because I'm not 100% in right now.
I just have to be honest with them about that.
And again, it's because you guys are my mind.
I kind of want to know, like -- like,
where are you guys at with Frank?
And, like, do you guys really see a connection there?
-I'm going to be honest with my side.
During the days after that stay and swap ceremony
when you left, I was ready to move on.
I was like, okay, so I'm going to really give Frank a chance.
And I think I learned a lot about him,
but that connection didn't form.
It wasn't like as organic or natural or anything like that.
I think it's more of like a friendship.
And in terms of intimacy,
like there's really nothing to tell.
Like, that was also our first kiss at the game,
and that was it.
So, I mean, I think we were also holding back either like,
you know, intentionally and subconsciously, like --
-Yeah, I didn't move on that much from you,
and I wasn't ready to put it into another person.
-I basically told him I was over it,
but after I hugged you and I looked into your eyes,
which, like, sounds so stupid, but I, like, hugged you
and he looked in your eyes and like,
I walked away and was like, shit, I am not over it.
And he was on the same page. -You were on the same page?
-Yeah. I mean, my feelings for you, dude,
have, like, never left, and I apologize.
Like, yesterday, I was probably ignoring you a lot
and not wanting to be around you
and not looking at you in the eyes.
And that was mainly just coming from like a place of hurt.
And like, especially when I see you around Maximo and Ash,
and it's because I wanted more of you,
not because I wanted less of you.
-We've made it clear how we feel,
unless you still are wondering.
-No, I think I do know how you guys feel.
-Yeah. -That's why I'm pretty much
opening up, and I'm pretty much telling you guys that I --
You know, I like you both.
-The fact that he's now on the same page as us
and wants to build a relationship with us,
that's like all I've wanted to hear.
I just can't wait to see what happens after this.
-Oh, we got to have some tough conversations.
-The vibe with the boys, it just feels super natural.
But the thing that's in my head right now is our rocky past.
There was just like a lot of drama.
I don't know if I want to experience that again.
**
-Hello.
-What's up, everybody?
[ All speaking indistinctly ]
-How's it going?
Whenever I see both Scott and Shamyra,
I just know something's about to go down.
[ All speaking indistinctly ]
-Now what?
-Hello, hello. -Hi.
-Becca's back!
-Hi, guys. -Hey, hi.
-Hey.
**
-[ Laughing ] What the fuck is going on?
-It's all come down to this decision tonight.
-[ Gasps ] -Oh, God.
