- Four couples at a crossroads
in their relationships

have decided to embark
on a journey

to answer the question,
are we meant to be together?

- I wanna make sure
that she's the one.

- It's very, very real now,

and you're in it,
and there's no turning back.

- Ladies and gentlemen, let me
be the first to welcome you

to "Temptation Island."

You have serious questions
about your relationships,

and in order to find
the answers to those questions,

you're gonna date other people.

Here they are--

12 single men,
12 single women

whose sole purpose
for being here

is to find love.

- [ yells ]

- Whoo!

- Whoo!

- I'm feeling things
that I never felt before,

and to find someone to share
that with, it's amazing.

- You know, coming here, I came
with, like, an open heart,

but, you know, finding
the right person

isn't always easy.

- You think your girlfriend
is the one?

- As of right now,
I can't answer that question,

not with an honest "yes."

- Like, she's my future wife,
and I need to fight.

- It's a fantasy experience
that will answer

the ultimate question....

- I may have thrown away
a 4-year relationship.

- Should we really be together,

or is there someone out there
better for us?

- Do I care for him more than
I expected I would have? Yes.

- I think I'm gonna throw up.
This was supposed to be

the fast track to get us
where we needed to go,

not the fast track to break up.

- [ grunts ]

[ exhales deeply ]

- I just don't feel like
going back with Rick

is moving forward.

- I really wanna scream
so loud right now.

- Oh!

- Our entire relationship
has meant nothing.

- Find out
as these four couples embark

on a once-in-a-lifetime journey
here on "Temptation Island."

***

* You're not gonna tempt me *

* You'll never forget me *

* You're not gonna tempt me,
oh *

* Oh, oh, oh *

* You're not gonna tempt me *

* You'll never forget me *

[ whispers ]
You're not gonna tempt me.

- This water
don't even look real.

- It's amazing, man.
- I really get concerned

when I see the boat leave
the shoreline.

Oh, we're really--there's no
turning back right now.

- Oh, yeah, me, too. I was like,

"Hold on!
I think I changed my mind."

- Right. [ laughs ]

- It looks like a filter,
honestly.

- No filter.
- No filter.

- No filter needed.
[ laughter ]

- It was just beautiful just
to take everything in with you,

but it kinda sucks that we're

not gonna get to enjoy it
together, you know what I mean?

* Take it slow *

* Whoo-ooh, I could never
let it go *

- You know, we're never
gonna be apart,

but let's enjoy this experience
and make it count.

If we're not all in,
then it's not gonna work.

- It's not gonna work.

- And I love you.
- I love you.

***

- Hi. I'm Ashley.
- And I'm Casey.

- We've been together
for a year and a half now.

- Ashley and I actually met
on social media

and just instantly hit it off.

She's just all full
of bubbly energy all the time,

and she matches my goofiness.

- We can literally just
be sitting down,

and then he'll, like,
say or do something.

I'll turn around.
We just start laughing.

- Well, we're fun together.
- We are.

- Yeah. We're fun together.

This is
my first real relationship.

After Ashley and I met,
she spent every single weekend

with all my friends,
and since then,

we've never spent
a weekend apart.

Oh, dang, girl! Whoo!

Ashley is from Maine,
originally.

So she doesn't really have
that many friends.

I had all my friends
and my entire life here.

I need Ashley to grow

and realize she can meet
other people,

and she can create
her own life, too.

It's definitely gonna be
very hard for you

in the beginning.
- Why you say that?

- 'Cause in past instances,
you might not have fully

100% trusted me,
so now you won't be able

to talk to me after,
so you'll have to.

- I definitely have
an insecurity

about being cheated on
because I was shown

time over time over time
that it was easy to cheat on me.

So I felt like I'm not
good enough for someone.

- I'm sure some
of the other couples

are gonna get driven apart.

- Not us.
- But that ain't gonna be us.

- Not us, though.

***

- I really think you're gonna
act up.

- No, I'm not.

- Like, there's gonna be
girls there,

and you're gonna be like,
"Oh, my God."

- I'm around girls all...
- "She's gone for a month."

My name is Ashley.
- I'm Rick.

- We've been together
for about four and a half years.

- We were just hanging out.
It wasn't exactly serious.

But then she kinda put
the clamps on me.

- I love his attitude.
I love how sweet he is to me.

- She has
a vibrant personality,

and just, you know, come on.
Look at her. Like...

- See, you should be packing
right now,

but you're looking at girls
on Instagram.

- I am. I'm packed. I can't
multitask? You can multitask.

- A couple years
into our relationship,

I found he was texting
sexual things

back and forth with a girl.

- There's nothing for me
to hide, so...

I'll be real. I-I cheated...

which led us to us breaking up.

- So after a year and a half
passed,

I was ready to give it
another shot,

and I was just like, this is it.

"I know I want you.
You know you want me,

and I've been through some
bullshit, and I'm here again."

So I need my ring. [ laughs ]

- Don't jump the gun.
Like, just--just chill.

[ laughs ] We're not there yet.

I grew up in a household
where my parents were together,

but they divorced,
so that's probably

why I'm a commitment-phobe.

I'm willing to do anything
to save our relationship,

and I'm taking the next step,
so--and that's what--

that's why we need
"Temptation Island."

- If I see your lips
touch another girl's lips,

I'm going to act up.

- You know that I don't wanna
leave this place without you.

That's not my plan.
That's not my goal.

- [ crying ]

- Don't cry.

Hi. I'm David.
- Hi. I'm Kate.

- And we live
in Hoboken, New Jersey.

- And we've been together
for three years.

- From the very first time
we met,

I was, like, very into him.

I, like, thought we had
chemistry.

And I, like, just,
I felt something, like,

in, like, my stomach.
Like, I just felt something.

Can you just give me
a piggyback ride

so I don't have to run?

For two years,
we were long distance.

When we realized, you know,

we wanted to keep progressing
our relationship,

I decided to move up north.

I'm six years older than David,
and I do wanna have kids.

I feel like our relationship
has progressed a little slower

than--that what I would have
liked.

You're rejecting my kiss.

- That's not true.

- David...

The two things that David and I
fight over

are he's not giving me
enough attention

or he's not being open enough
about his feelings.

- I'm not one that loves to say
all these sweet nothings

into someone's ear,

and if you see that I'm engaged
in our relationship,

if you see by the things
I'm doing,

like, how I'm supporting you.

that means so much more
than someone I could just say

"I love you" a million times
and they never show it.

- I don't like this feeling
that, you know, I have.

I mean, what can happen?

I've been married before,

and I strayed in the marriage.

We ended up getting a divorce.

So for me, I am waiting for
karma to come back and haunt me

and for something that I've done
to happen to me again.

- Going on "Temptation Island,"
my goal out of it

is for her to see the type
of guy that I am

when I'm not around her,
and then that's gonna obviously

hopefully make her
trust me some more.

I think either way
at the end of it,

like, we'll be better off
one way or another.

- Like, you're somewhat
playing with fire.

***

- I'm gonna keep in mind
why we're doing this.

We're doing this for growth.
We're doing this for clarity.

- Yeah.

- This isn't
a luxurious breakup experience.

- Mm-hmm.
- I'm gonna miss you, though.

- I'm gon' miss you, too.
- All right.

I'm Gavin.

- I'm Esonica,
and we've been together

for a year and a half.

What attracted me to Gavin
would be

his good looks first,

and then it was a plus that
he was really funny and smart.

What you think?

* Oh, oh, oh, oh *

- You're so corny.

Esonica has this little kind of
feisty side to her.

She has a really good heart,
too.

The way our personalities
mesh,

we sort of amplify
the good things

in each other.
- Yes.

- I'm coming
to "Temptation Island"

to see if Esonica's
the right girl for me.

- You ready?
- Yeah.

- Quick five.

She's looking for
a lifelong partner, a marriage.

I'm honestly a little slower
to really take thatstep

just because I wanna make sure
when I get married

the first time,
that's the last time.

How you doing, ladies?
I need to see your IDs, please.

- And can you strip-search me?
'Cause I'm-a strip-search you.

- Oh-ho-ho!

- I have some trust issues
with Gavin.

He can't necessarily be
a faithful guy.

Chef Boy I rock.
- Chef Boy I'm not.

Gavin--he's gonna have
to work on committing

to be honest, and then I'm
gonna have to work

on being able to trust him.

- Why you so bad, though?

I do love Esonica,
and I wanna convince her

that she can trust me.
In a perfect world,

we can come back and really
make the next step

for something long-term.

United front?
- United front.

- United front, yes,
we're gonna be together.

- Oh, yeah, home team.
- Yeah, home team, exactly.

***

- Is that him right there?
- Where is he?

[ laughter ]

- You made it!

- We someone in the distance
waving hands.

She's like, "Is that Mark?"
I'm like, "Can't tell."

And then as we slowly
get closer and closer,

I'm like, "It is Mark."
- It is Mark.

- You made it.
- Hi, Mark.

- How are you?
- Good. How are you?

- Good.
- Nice to meet you guys.

- Nice to meet you.
- I know that this is gonna

come with a lot of challenges,
but I hope that

we both get what we want
out of this,

and hopefully, together,
as well.

- Hi!
- Welcome, welcome.

I'm Mark.
- Hi. Nice to meet you.

- You're Esonica.
- Yeah.

- I don't know. I guess my fears
were somewhat, I guess,

exposed now,
but the weird part is, like,

I don't even know
what those fears are yet.

It's more so fear
of the unknown.

- Ashley, right?
- Yes.

- I'm Mark. Welcome.
- Nice to meet you.

- Hi, Rick.
- Nice to meet you. Rick.

- It actually hit me,
like, wow, we're really

on "Temptation Island."

Like, anything goes, you know,
at this point.

And also, this was your idea
for us to be here, so...

- Yeah, but my idea so that I
can make sure that you're good.

- Hello!
- Hi, Ashley. How are you?

- Ashley. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.

I'm Mark.
- So nice to meet you. Casey.

- Casey.
- I do worry that Casey

will be tempted
on "Temptation Island."

I mean, all these girls
are single.

They have nothing to lose.

Well, you made it off the boat
and on the beach,

so congratulations.
- Whoo!

- And welcome.
- Whoo!

- Are you ready to begin
the next chapter

of your relationships?

- Whoo!
- Yes.

- Here we go.
- Got no choice. We're here.

- So ready.
[ laughter ]

- Good. Let's go.
- Let's go. I'm nervous.

- So are we nervous?
- Yeah. Ready for it?

- Something to scare you?
- You know I'm scared.

- You feel it?
- I'm nervous about you.

- Oh.
- Of course it's scary.

You're nervous. You don't know
what's gonna happen next,

and you don't know if you're
going to be leaving

with the love of your life,
or they might be leaving

with someone new,
and you don't really know

what your fate is,
so it's kind of scary.

Very scary. I'll be honest.

* It feels so good right now *

* Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh *

* Ooh-ooh,
ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh *

* Feels so good right now,
yeah, yeah *

- Let's see.
- Come on in, you guys.

- Oh, my God.
- Right over here.

- Now things are becoming real,

and this whole experience
is actually ahead of us.

- Yeah, it's a little bit scary,
but I think that it will

make us stronger
in our relationship

and realize that, like,
we miss each other,

and we need each other.

- Make yourself comfortable.
Make yourself at home.

- This looks like a postcard.

- I'm anxious because obviously
the setting is one thing,

but being away from Kate,
it's hard to just think about,

let alone actually go through
with this.

- Before
this whole journey begins,

I just wanna take a minute
and check in with you.

Right? See how you feel. And how
areyou feeling right now?

Like, feeling settled?
Ashley? Casey?

Why are you here?
- Yeah, I think our past,

we just came from
two completely different places.

You know, I've been single
mostly my whole life.

Nothing really deep, ever.
- Right.

- It's, you know,
I've never been at that point

that me and Ashley are at.

I mean, there are definitely
some girls

that I've hooked up with
in college and stuff

that I'm still friends with,
but it was always just that.

Never anyone that I've dated
am I friends with.

- How do you feel about that,
Ashley?

- I don't like it. Honestly,
it's awkward for me at times.

- She's mad about my past
and the fact that

I'm still friends
with a few people

that maybe I've hooked up with,

but I just feel like
that shouldn't keep

coming back to haunt me.

- Gavin and Esonica,
Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.
- Hey.

- What kind of change
do you expect to see

from this experience?

- I just hope
that we can build real trust

and be able to stick together
and grow.

- All right, tell me about
you guys, Kate and David.

What is the biggest issue
in your relationship

if you were to say so, Kate?

- Our biggest issue
is the two things,

and they kind of go
hand in hand.

Um, I have trust issues,
and he doesn't open up.

- So your hope is that
this will help resolve

trust issues for you, Kate,
yeah?

- I think personally,
maybe I have some growth

that I need to do.
I think we both do.

But, um, so it's probably
deeper than that.

- All right.
- Yeah.

- Well, we'll go as deep
as you need to.

- [ laughs ]
- All right, Ashley and Rick.

- Hey, what's going on?
- What's going on?

Tell me about you guys.
We'll start with the first step.

How long you been going
together?

- So we've been dating--
Well, together,

on and off
for four and a half years.

I have really bad trust issues
because of our history.

- So the off and on has to do
with the...

some trust breaking.
- Well, I found some, like,

really bad text messages
in his phone.

- Oh, no.
- He lied about it.

We talked about it.
- I didn't exactly lie.

I mean,
but whatever the case is,

I gotta take responsibility
for that, but, um,

I mean, that's really why
we're here, you know?

We're here to tackle,
you know, some issues.

- We need to take
the next steps forward

in our relationship, move in.

I want a ring
because I really do have

goals for--for us, you know?
- Got it.

So you all came on the island
because you're at a crossroads.

So you have serious questions
about your relationships,

and in order to find
the answers to those questions,

you've embarked on this journey

where you're gonna date
other people.

- [ exhales deeply ] Ooh.
[ chuckles ]

- Now allowing your partner
to be single again

while you're here may help
both of you figure out

if they're the one, right?
The single men and women

that you'll meet on the island
are here...

- Oh.
- ...because they're

looking for love.
- [ laughs ]

- Some of them may have
the qualities

that youare looking for

that you say your partner
doesn't have.

- Yikes.
- So with that,

I'd really like to start
this off with a toast.

Would you like to join me?
- Yes.

- Grab a glass.
- Heck, yeah.

- Stand up and join me.

- Something bubbly.

- All right,
so here's my toast.

Here's to you
and the possibility

that you leave this island
with all the answers

you came here to find.

Cheers.
- Cheers.

[ glasses clinking ]
- Cheers.

- Cheers.
- I'm nervous and excited.

I love Esonica.

I honestly can't really
imagine life without her.

We're hopeful, though.
We're still gonna be together.

- Yeah.

- Did you enjoy the view
for our toast?

You love the surroundings?
- It's beautiful.

- Like a painting.
- Looks unbelievable.

- Well, good, because I'm happy
to say, ladies,

this is your house.
- Whoo!

- Hold up.
[ laughter ]

[ excited chatter ]

- Seeing the house
for the first time,

knowing I'm gonna live here

for a month without him
doesn't seem real yet.

And it definitely doesn't seem
real that there are

12 singles that are coming.

- So, ladies,
this is your house,

but I'm sure you're curious
where your boyfriends

will be living.
- Yes.

- Let's find out.
Let's go take a look. Follow me.

* I can only hope
that you'll end up happy *

* I can only wish you the best *

***

* I hope you're happy *

* I hope you're happy now *

- Come on in.

- Wow.
- Oh, my God.

- It's so pretty. [ laughs ]

- It's on. Game is on, and I'm
scared, anxious, excited,

and scared again.
- And there's more to show you,

so why don't you come outside
with me? Come this way.

- All right, let's go for it.
- I'm really not sure

what Kate and I got ourselves
into coming here,

but I am in love with Kate,
and I'm hoping that

this whole process
is gonna give me,

um, even more love for her.

- You breathing?

- Hardly.
- Barely.

- Barely.
- Here and there.

- All right,
just keep breathing and relax.

- [ exhales deeply ]
- Because now it's time to meet

the people that you came
all this way to meet.

Are you ready?

- [ laughs ]
- Oh, man.

- Yes.
- We're ready, Mark.

- We're ready, Mark.
- Okay.

- Sure.
- The suspense is killing me.

- No.

***

- Oh, my...

- All right, here we go.
Let's get it.

- I'm sick.
Literally, I'm sick.

- Yes, you can keep saying
----.

- Okay, 'cause that's
the only word I can think of.

[ dramatic music playing ]

- Oh, shit.

***

- Oh, my God.

***

- This is ----, right?
- This is crazy.

***

- Oh, God. Oh, God.

***

- Oh, my God.
- This is crazy.

- Oh, shit.

- I'm sick.
Literally, I'm sick.

***

- Oh, God. Oh, God.

- This is crazy. This is
really happening right now.

It's like a dream
that started off good,

and it's slowly turned
into a nightmare.

***

- Here they are--12 single men,

12 single women, whose sole
purpose for being here

is to find love.

Now maybe one of them
will help you realize

that the one that you came
to the island with

is without a doubt
the love of your life.

But maybe you'll find love
with one of them.

Couples,
I hope you're all ready,

because your journey...

begins right now.

- What are we doing?
- I don't know.

- Let's do this.

***

- Hey, y'all. I'm Payton.
I'm 23 years old,

and I'm a bartender
who likes to stir things up.

And I'm about to add
one of y'all to my mix.

- Ew.

- It's Happy Hour.

- It's always
Happy Hour with me.

- Oh, okay. Okay.

- Ha! Ooh!
[ laughter ]

- What's up, guys?
My name is Ben.

I'm 25 years old,
from Tempe, Arizona,

and I was a sniper in the Army.

I just wanna say,
watch out, guys,

'cause I got your ladies
in my sights.

- Good one.

- [ mockingly ] I'm a sniper
in the Army. Watch out, guys.

I'm 29 years old
from Marina del Rey.

Being an inventor, I don't
think there's a better man here

to fix your love life.

- What'd he say?
- Inventor?

- We're getting corny ass lines.

[ laughter ]

- It's gonna be a good time,
y'all.

- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah, yeah.

***

- Hi. I'm Kari.

I'm a 29-year-old Jersey girl.

You'll see that I'm the epitome
of a strong woman,

and I'm looking to make
a strong man happy.

***

- Not in those heels.

- [ laughs ]

- What's up? My name is Deac.
I'm 25, from Naples, Florida,

and I like to consider myself
a comedian, so here's a joke.

What got between you
and your girl?

Just this Deac. Ahh!
[ laughter ]

- What?

- 2 whole inches of Deac.

- That was actually funny.

***

- Hey, guys, my name's Medinah.
I'm 30 years old.

I live in Atlanta,

and I believe that true love
should be like a fairy tale,

and one of you will be
my prince.

- Who you looking at?
- You making mad eye contact.

- I mean, who is she looking at?
- Ooh!

- She's looking at blue!
- She want all the smoke.

She want all the smoke.

***

- Hello, ladies. I'm Kareem.

I'm a 27-year-old entrepreneur
from Queens, New York,

and I have to say
you're all 10s.

- Oh, wow, we never heard
that one before.

- [ laughs ]
- Very impressive, Kareem.

- I can't stop looking at him.
He's so mad.

- Nice shorts, by the way.
- [ chuckles ]

***

- Hi, guys, I'm Rachel.
I'm 25 years old,

a proud New Yorker
and swimsuit designer.

I'm ready to toss on a bikini
and dive headfirst into love.

[ ominous music playing ]

- Oh, I didn't even...

- Where did this dude come from?
- Where did he come from?

- Where you come from?
- How you doing, ladies?

I'm K.B. I'm 36 years old.

I'm a realtor
from Long Beach, California.

I got a vacancy in my heart.

I'm ready for one of you ladies
to sign the lease.

- Mnh-mnh!

[ laughter ]
- We already signed our lease.

[ laughter ]
- Oh, shit.

- You got way too excited
right there.

- Me? I'm minding my business.
- Are you?

- I'm really minding
my business over here.

- I wanna thank you, singles.
You did great.

You are free to go.
Head on out.

- They're walking right here?
- I guess so.

***

- See you guys later.

- Who you looking at?

- Game on, bitches.

- Sheesh.

- Look at y'all fine ass. Yeah.
- Mm.

- Are these guys joking or what?
- They're all going...

- Every--Every dude's
biting their lower lip.

- [ laughs ]
- [ chuckles ]

- What a weird bunch of dudes,
am I right?

- Well, you finally met
our singles.

You got a lot to process,
a lot to think about,

and you're gonna get to do that
tonight in your separate villas.

- Oh, Jesus Christ.
- [ groans ]

- Okay?
- I am crying.

- This isn't permanent yet,
but it's a taste

of what life is like
for all of you here, right?

- Mm-hmm.

- You're gonna have to get used

to not relying on your partner
for comfort

while you're here
on the islands.

In other words, single.

- [ chuckles ]

- All right, you guys.
Have a good night.

I'll see you tomorrow.

- Bye, baby.
- I love you.

- Just for the night.

- I don't want to do this.

- I'm wondering if this is what
we should be doing.

We're just playing with fire
at this point.

12 girls in the house, like,

not having control
of that situation,

um, is extremely hard for me.

- All right, give me a hug.
All right, come on.

- Don't piss me off, please.

- At first, I was excited
to start this journey,

but now I'm a little nervous.

If anything,
tonight is the night

that I honestly would want
to be with Ashley

just to be able to console her,

but she knew what she got
herself into, you know,

by signing up for this.

- Sheesh.
- That was real weird, right?

- Yeah, definitely, like...

- Serious question--
is anybody scared right now?

Scared of what you're
gonna do/scared of what

your girl might do.
- Good question.

- I'm definitely not scared
of what my girl will do.

I'm definitely zero percent
worried about her whatsoever.

- Really? So zero percent?
- Zero percent.

- I'm nervous, but all I know is
it's game time.

Time to play ball. [ laughs ]

Oh, man. Oh.

* I've got a surge
running through my veins *

* I'm uncontainable *

- These girls are pretty,
and obviously the way

that they were acting,
they're like, "Ooh,

I'm gonna take your man."
It's like, shit, maybe...

[ laughter ]
Maybe you ----ing will,

like goddamnit.

- I knew who was definitely
looking at Gavin.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- I saw her looking
at your man.

- She was, like, eye ----ing
him.

She was like...
- I said,

"Who's she looking at?"
She don't want his problems.

- Calm down.
- Calm your jets.

- Yes. Slow that shit down,
'cause I'm right here,

and I'll smack you.
[ laughter ]

This became a mean girl sesh,
so welcome.

- That's fine.
[ laughter ]

* This is my battle cry *

[ birds chirping ]

* Raise it up, raise it higher *

* Oh, oh, oh-oh *

* It only fuels my fire *

- Morning, boys.
- Hey.

- Good morning, good morning.
How are we feeling?

- Doing all right.
- Well rested.

- What did you think
about all the singles you saw?

Single guy, single girl.
[ laughter ]

- I didn't judge the girls
at all.

- You couldn't say anything,
right?

- If I say anything good,
I'm the bad guy.

If I say anything bad,
I'm the bad guy.

- Well, speaking of the ladies,

why don't we bring 'em in
right now? Ladies, come on in.

- What ladies?
- Which ladies?

- Our girls, right?

- Well, you'll have to see
who comes in the door.

***

- Oh, man. [ chuckles ]
Yikes.

- Come on in. Good morning.

- Oh, damn.

- Good morning, good morning,
good morning.

- He said, "Oh, damn."

- Ladies, I know you have
a great day planned

for these gentlemen.
Have a great time.

And I guess I'll see you guys
a little bit later.

Right?
- [ whispers ] Let's get drunk.

Let's get drunk.
[ indistinct conversations ]

- The first thing I think of
when I see all of them,

I'm like, "Oh, shit,

"all of y'all look way better
up close

than you did last night."

This is a very scary moment.

- Cheers!
[ indistinct conversations ]

- Is this a shot?

- I mean, we're doing shots
with wine glasses.

- You ready to turn up.
I see that.

- I mean, turning up is fun.

Like, who doesn't wanna
turn up?

- You all moving?
- We're tempting y'all.

- Medinah's trouble.
- You better stop.

- Yeah, Medinah's trouble.

- You better stop.
- Like, if your girlfriend

wasn't worried before...
- Wait, wait. You need to look.

- Come back.
- You gotta look at the legs.

- Ooh. Wow. Wow. Wow.
[ laughter ]

* With a body like yours,
don't gotta work, girl *

* With a body like yours,
you make it hurt, girl *

[ indistinct conversations ]
- Cheers!

- Island of love. Temptation!
"Temptation Island"!

- I'm feeling very nervous
about meeting the guys.

Because I'm so shy and it takes
a lot to warm me up,

I'm going to take my time.

- It looks like sushi.
I like sushi. Do you like sushi?

- You gotta put the whole thing
in your mouth, though.

- Oh, my God.
I'm not doing that.

- Oh, I understand.
You're not used to big things.

I can see about your boyfriend.
You're not used to big things.

Smart. [ chuckles ]

- Who areyou?

- Kalaan Brown, 36 years old.
I definitely am a ladies man.

Since I was in kindergarten,

my first crush was
my kindergarten teacher.

I don't have time to be
playing around with anybody.

- Right.

- Girlfriends wanna be wives,
right? Yeah.

I got a little more years,
a little time under my belt.

You know?

- I have a problem with you
already. [ laughs ]

[ indistinct conversations ]

- Chris. Nice to meet you.
- Chris, nice to meet you.

- I'm from Maine.
- What is there to do in Maine?

- Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
- Really?

- My job here
is to make you feel

as comfortable as possible,
right?

- I think I'm a good catch,
honestly,

because I'm confident.

A lot of my friends are really
scared to bring me around

their girls 'cause they just
happen to start liking me

for whatever reason.

Let's be honest.

Your boyfriend's
in the same situation right now.

I mean, he's around
12 beautiful women.

- Right, that sucks for me.

I met him talking
to a bunch of girls,

so I know he out there, like...
- Oh, yeah.

- ...talking to everybody.

* Trying to hit the hills
to bigger things *

* Take it to the next level *

- Gavin.
- Oh, you remember my name.

- Gavin.
- And you're Rachel!

- Hey, ladies.

- All right,
before the end of the day,

you're taking your shirt off.

- Nah. Nah, my shirt's
gonna stay on.

[ laughter ]

- What does your girlfriend
think about all this?

- Like, the closer we got
to actually meeting the singles,

the more and more angry she got.
Like, doesn't want--

- She was scared of losing you.

- Yeah, but I'm saying
it's too early to tell.

Yo, you seem very flirtatious.

- [ laughs ]

Gavin is super nice.
I like him a lot.

I had to say
out of all the guys,

he's who I connected with
the most.

- I gotta keep an eye
out on you for sure.

- Casey.
- Payton, right?

- Payton, yes. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, Payton.

I'm looking to find a man
who cares about me,

who wants to get to know me,
who wants to know my interests,

and just really kind of connect
with me as a person.

- A bed outside.
- [ laughing ]

- That's suspicious.

* Switching it up now *

* Changin' it around *

- I feel like we have
the same colored eyes.

- Ooh, yeah, the cool,
like, steely blue.

- Yeah, yeah.

- You don't like seaweed?
- I like seaweed.

- I think my biggest turn-on
is athletic women,

someone I can take
on adventures.

I'm always getting out
and traveling,

so someone who can keep up
with me.

I think if they're looking for
an adventure, looking for fun,

I'm the guy that
can give it to 'em.

- Cheers to...
- Cheers!

- Finding love on the island.
- Right.

- Hold on. How's that?
- Hi.

- I'm talking to you.
I have to.

- Wow. [ laughs ]
- I have to.

If I'm attracted to somebody,

I will do whatever it takes,
honestly,

I'm not one who gets shy.

- We don't really have
salt and pepper here.

- We do. We have...

- Oh, right.

Jose is definitely dangerous
to have in the house.

He's just a good time
being around,

and, like, his vibe and energy
is so much like mine.

It kinda made me uncomfortable

being that comfortable
around him.

You're a problem.
You're the problem.

- You guys are
very beautiful, smart women.

- Thanks.
- I love it. You guys are cool.

You guys are--Yeah.
- Yeah.

During the mixer,
I'm trying to be present,

and I'm trying to get
to know these guys.

But yet in the back of my head,
I'm thinking that David

is doing the exact same thing,
and it kinda hurts.

Kinda--Kinda bothers me.

* Yeah *

* Don't wanna play these games *

- Why am I, like,
catering to you already?

We literally just met,
like, two minutes ago.

I definitely was attracted
to David the most.

We're both from New Jersey,
so I'm kinda used to that look.

Even though I keep trying
to get away from it,

I guess it's, like,
ingrained in my soul.

I don't know.

What are you looking for
right now?

Like, we're just gonna get
deep quick.

- Let's do it.
- And then later we'll have fun.

No. Are you kidding me?

- Hi, Mark!
- Hi, guys!

- [ singsongy ] Hey!
- Rick, join me. Come on.

And, girls, gather around.
Boys are on the couch.

I hate to break it up.
Come on over here.

All right. Perfect. I was gonna
ask you how the party is,

but I kinda am sensing
it was good.

- It was
an enlightening experience.

- Unfortunately, part of my job
is to tell you

that the party is over.

I know you need a moment
to gather your thoughts,

so I have a dinner prepared
for you up at the ladies' villa.

Why don't you go grab a bite?
And I will join you soon.

You guys good?

- Yeah.
- All right.

- Bye, guys.
- Bye.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- I don't know if Kate had
a good of time at the mixer

as--as I did.

I think it was nice to be able
to open up,

you know, to other--other women,
and I hope she did the same.

We haven't seen each other
in 24 hours,

like, I'm a little nervous to
see how that's gonna play out.

- Right here.
- [ giggles ]

- Oh, man.

- I've never met someone
in my entire life...

- You mind if we say grace
for this food?

- Let's pray, babe.
- Gracious God...

- Good evening.
- Hi, Mark.

- Hey, Mark.
- So, uh, how you feeling?

- Good.
- Yeah?

- Yeah, better now.
- Better now?

- Yeah, I get to sit, you know,
with the others and, you know,

kind of enjoy the experience,
so it's a plus.

- Why are you here, David?

- I see this as
a unique opportunity

to really show her that I'm not
this totally different person

when I'm out of her sight,
and I don't do a total 180

when she's not around.

- So, Ashley, of the guys
you met of our singles,

do you see any of them
that have any of the qualities

that you wish
Rick was displaying?

- Um, I definitely spoke
with K.B.,

and it was a deep conversation,
and he seems very content

with, you know,
being in a relationship

where he wants to have
a family soon,

and he wants to get married,

and, um, he's all about
commitment.

- What makes you nervous
about this, Rick?

- She just spoke
about this guy, K.B.,

and, uh, she's kinda cheesing
and smiley,

so I'm a bit uneasy--
- Not because of that.

- Well, I don't know.
Well, it's just--It's...

It's a bit alarming.
- [ chuckles ]

- Esonica, why are you here?
- Mm. I don't know.

- What does that mean?

- At the end of the day,
he did bring me here.

- Gavin, any regrets
from making that choice?

- Um, I didn't have any regrets
initially,

but after spending, like,
the first day without Esonica,

I...missed her a lot, like more
than I thought I would.

Like, you know, I was like,
oh, four weeks. I can do that.

But now I'm concerned. Like,
damn, it's only been 24 hours.

I'm like...So...

- That's cute.
- That's one of my, like,

concerns here
'cause I found myself, like,

thinking about her a lot.

- On the outside,
you guys are so affectionate.

- Yeah.
- And seem so happy.

- [ giggles ]
- And yet you bring

to this relationship,
as you told me,

you've got trust issues.
- Mm-hmm.

- How do you see this
helping you?

- I just wanna be proven that
it's not a guy thing,

I guess, because every--

- Other guys have done this
to you.

- Yeah, I mean, I've been
cheated on all my relationships.

- So how does it look?
How does this get fixed here?

- Well, I don't feel like

I should have to prove myself
to her,

but in the process, of course,
that's what I'm gonna be doing.

But being separated,
first night apart,

it's, you know, kinda hard
to go to bed alone.

You're used to having
someone next to you.

And as we go, we'll see how
that progresses and progresses.

And I feel like it's just
gonna get worse and worse.

- What do you mean,
that it's gonna get

worse and worse, though?
- That was a good thing.

I said I'm gonna miss you
more and more.

- Okay, but you said
"worse and worse," so it--

- It's gonna get
worse and worse for me.

It's gonna be harder and harder.

I went to bed the first night,
and it was, like,

really, really weird for me,
and I actually wasn't--

I was anticipating it
being easy,

so I came in
with a lot of confidence.

- What are the tears about,
Ashley?

They come easy for you.

- Yeah, it's so easy for me.
[ laughs ]

- Okay, what--what's it about?

- I'm just emotional
all the time.

I--Like I said, I just think
of, like, the worst, so...

- And what would be the worst
if you could verbalize it?

- Losing him would be
the worst.

'Cause my heart's in it,
so it would be the worst.

[ exhales deeply ]

- Are you prepared
for the unexpected?

Now you know what I mean
by that?

The phrase is not
"I choose in love."

It's not "I compromise in love."

It's called "I fallin love,"

which means you're walking
a path you have designed.

You misstep,
and you can't control it,

and you fall.

Now what you need to get
your head around is

what if your partner
who you're sitting with--

look at 'em. Right now, look.

What if that partner,
while they're walking this path

that they just declared here,

what if they misstep
and fall in love?

- I'll ---- you up.
- [ chuckles ]

- That was tough.

- [ crying ] Don't do it.

- [ chuckles ]

- All right.

- Cheers to that.

- The time has come, okay?

Now it's gonna get real.

It's time to say goodbye.
So here's how this will work.

I'm gonna give you 10 minutes
for you guys to find a spot

and say goodbye to one another.

And this will be
the last time you guys

will get to be together until
you leave the island, okay?

Now for some of you
sitting at this table,

it's only goodbye for now.

For some of you,

this is goodbye...forever.

- Right.

***

- Take this 10 minutes as though
you may never get

to speak to them again
in this life, okay?

At least that way
you'll have no regrets.

You've got 10 minutes,
and I'll be back, okay?

- Okay.

* Something tells me
that you're leaving *

* I just can't make you
stay with me *

- Are you okay?
- No.

- I'm like,
what's wrong with you?

- I just know you're gonna make
a fool out of both of us.

- How--How you figure that?

Like, why?
Why do you believe that?

- Because...
- I really don't get it.

- I'm just saying,
we don't have much time

before we don't get to see
each other anymore.

- I know.
- So we need to use this...

goodbye, you know,
let's try to have a peaceful...

- But why I always have
to be the one to be, like,

super nice first and tell you
how much, like, I'm in love

and I'm gonna miss you and all
the tears are on my face?

Like, why can't you do that?
- I'm not saying--

No one said you have to be
super nice.

- I'm sorry.
I don't even know why I'm...

- That's what I'm saying.
It's the wrong--

- ...'cause
I don't wanna argue with you.

- This is the wrong time
to get on all of that.

- I don't wanna argue with you,
but I wanna be honest with you,

so what the ----?

- So I wanna know how
your mixer went.

- I pretty much talked
to every girl,

and I was just, you know,
doing me, having fun.

- Do you think any of them
are attractive, though?

- Sure, but I mean,
no one in particular.

But it's like, if you said
a guy's attractive,

and I'm not, "Yeah, yeah,
he's pretty cute,"

but, you know, yeah,
that is what it is.

And I feel like--
- Yeah, but I don't find

any of the guys attractive
at all.

- Okay, well--
- Like, I don't think

any of them are attractive,

and you think that they're
attractive down there?

That you're ready to--

- Yeah, and that's the problem
for you.

Why is this a problem
for you?

- [ voice breaking ] Do you
understand why I'm like that?

- Yeah, but--
- Like, you know.

- But if we wanna be happy
together,

you can'tbe like that.
- I know,

and that's why we're here,
right?

- You should--You--

- That's why you
brought me here, right?

- You're getting upset
about how--

Why are you saying it
as if it's a question,

like as if you don't believe
everything I'm saying?

- Why, like, yeah, as if we
don't know each other,

and you just doubt everything,
and then I'm all your exes?

- [ exhales deeply ]

I can't even say anything
without crying.

- Babe, don't cry.
- [ voice breaking ] I know.

It's just,
it's really intimidating to me.

It makes me feel
very vulnerable. It's scary.

I mean, I saw--I saw the girls,

and, um, a lot of them
are your type.

Um, and I can't help but, like,
be worried about that.

- I understand.
- The guys--like, half of them

ignored me in the house,
and you know why?

It's because, like, they're
intimidated by my boyfriend,

'cause they know
don't have anything.

Like, they know that they're not
anywhere close to being you.

- Half of the girls
said the same thing about you.

Half the girls said that
you're super attractive.

Half the girls--
- Half of them? ---- them.

Half of them?

- I didn't talk
to every single girl.

[ scoffs ] I don't know why
you're making this--

Like, this is our last
10 ----ing minutes.

- So you fix it.
You make it better.

- No, babe, but this is like
the problem in our relationship.

Like, you have to trust me
that...

- But can you? Can you really
make the right decisions?

I'm just really scared
that at some point,

you're gonna hit
a breaking point

and you're going to make
bad decisions.

- Remember, this was youridea
for us to be here.

- Yeah, and I don't--
- Okay?

Are you having regret
that we're here now?

Like, well, what's up?
- I mean, obviously.

- Okay.
- I just don't want you

to, like,
doing anything crazy...

- I'm not gonna do
anything crazy.

- ...that you'll regret and that
I can't forgive you for.

And I know if you do anything

to, like, make me
feel uncomfortable,

then I'm at this point
going to fully enjoy

this entire experience.

- Is that so?
- And there's not any--

- But that's what you came for--

to fully enjoy this experience,
right?

- I can't do this. [ cries ]

***

- Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm sorry to tell you
that's time.

A last kiss.

And then, gentlemen, I need you
to join me over here.

***

- Won't even let me hug you
and kiss you for real.

- Let's go.

- I just love you.
- Love you.

- Come on.

* Don't miss me, babe *

* You know
that won't make me stay *

[ voice breaking ] Um...Yeah,
I hope that I see him again,

that it's a more confident
person that he sees.

* So just try not to miss me,
babe *

- As difficult as this is,

it's time for you all
to begin your single life.

* Don't miss me, babe *
- [ crying ]

- You'll see each other
at the end of this experience.

Gentlemen...

I gotta take you now. Okay?
Why don't you come with me?

* I'll be gone before tonight *
- [ crying ]

- Have fun.
Don't be sad and have fun.

Don't be sad and have fun,

and I'll see you very soon
at the end.

Have I ever lied to you ever
in my life?

- [ sighs ] No.

- Have I ever lied to you ever
in life?

- Mnh-mnh.
- Okay, remember.

- It's not goodbye.
See you later, all right?

So I'll see you later,
all right?

- See you later.

I don't feel ready for this.

I thought I was ready,
but I don't feel ready.

I don't think anyone's
ever ready for this.

- Gentlemen, let's go.
- All right.

***

- [ sobbing ]

- ---- this.
I'm going to bed.

* Don't miss me, baby *

* Don't miss me, darling *

***
