Original subtitles

You're gonna have an opportunity to record

a 30-second video message.

Singles, you will have the option

to send a message as well.

- Wow. - Whoa.

[ all cheering ]

I'm really feeling Des and, you know,

every day, our bond grows more and more.

[ Vanessa chuckles ]

The last bonfire just makes me want

to explore my connection with Brice a little bit deeper.

Brice, you don't even know what to do with all these buns, man.

- Are you ready? - We're having a conversation.

Can you give us a second?

This is our make or break, right now.

It's you causing the extra shit

that doesn't need to be happening

and you're involving me and it's messy and ghetto.

I'm having deja vu because we already broke up once.

If we broke up again, it's, like, what?

Did I get back with him?

I love you so much and I miss you so much.

Can I please talk to Kaitlin?

* You're not gonna tempt me *

* You'll never forget me *

* You're not gonna tempt me, oh *

* You're not gonna tempt me *

* You'll never forget me *

* You're not gonna tempt me *

[ waves crashing ]

[ mellow music playing ]

* So much to say *

* About the way *

* A smoking gun can burn all day *

What the [bleep].

I've gotta talk to Kaitlin

or I can't make it much longer.

* This isn't what we hoped for *

* But when we laid it out on the line *

* To have it taken away, let it leave in the night *

What are you doing here?

What are you about to say?

- I have to talk to you. - No.

Just sit down and listen to me.

Whatever you gotta say to me, [indistinct].

Just please, listen to me.

- Okay? Please, listen to me. - Of course, I can.

I have always been lost.

Oh, my God, it's a joke. This is a joke.

Just say it. What do you want to say?

I have never had a real emotional connection with you.

And I have tried my entire life to find that connection.

You were the best person

that I've ever met in my entire life.

So, I forced myself...

to go back to you...

and I have been lying to myself--

- And to me. - Absolutely.

I-- I know that.

But I also never saw true love in your eyes to me.

What do you mean, I feel like

I've been working myself on this [indistinct].

This is what we needed, a deeper connection.

The day I proposed to you,

I never saw true love in your eyes.

Oh, come on, Hall, this is so [bleep].

Why come back into my life?

Because I thought you were the one.

Selfish. This is what you're being, selfish.

My biggest fear is hurting you.

And you've done it twice now.

But I have to be happy.

This is real? You're real, we're really done?

This is real.

Wow.

But I'm not the one for you.

You deserve so much better.

I don't know what to say to you.

And that's okay.

That's okay.

It's literally deja vu, that's what you did before

and now you're just gonna leave again.

I know.

So, you found someone in the house?

I have found...

You're welcome for bringing you here, then.

- I'm so happy for you. - You know, I was not looking.

Must I give you the ring back and everything right now?

Kat, that's up to you.

- I can't believe you. - I gave that to you...

but I know that we are not meant to be together.

So, why did you propose, Hall?

Because I thought that was the right thing to do.

- I wanted to protect you. - Yourself.

I didn't want to break your heart again.

[ Hall sighs ]

Um, I don't know what else to say.

I cannot believe this.

[ Hall sighs ]

I'm thinking you're gonna come here

and be like, "Let's get married."

I'm such a [bleep].

I'm sorry.

Um, I don't want to be here.

[ "Paper Lanterns" by Lost Hollow playing ]

* The sun is up, it seems the party's over *

* Our hearts and dreams shattered on the floor *

I deserve better.

I know I do.

I think I've always known I do,

I just wanted to be with him.

I wanted to make it work...

but, like, he clearly doesn't care about me.

So, I need to focus on myself...

and what I want.

Just selfish.

[ sniffling ]

I can't believe this.

* And all the years, like paper lanterns *

* Shined their light and blew away *

[ sniffles ] I cannot believe this.

What am I supposed to do now?

- What? - We're done.

Hall's literally out there right now.

What do you mean?

Hall's literally out there right now

and said he fell in love with someone else,

- that we're done. - You're [bleep] lying.

Are you serious, Hall?

What in the world?

- No [bleep] way. - Oh, my God.

I mean the girl literally on the video was like,

"Thank you for bringing me here, like, I found my person.

Like, I fell in love, I've emotionally connected."

And, like, I don't even have tears to give anymore.

- Like, what the [bleep]? - Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.

Oh, my God.

[ women crying ]

I'm so sorry, Kaitlin.

Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.

I didn't even think he's gonna come up and be like,

"I wanna leave, like, I don't wanna be here, like."

You didn't even know anything.

Kaitlin, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I just feel so hurt for her.

That's not fair. It's not.

I just hate how selfish men can be sometimes.

It's not fair, you can't treat somebody like that.

I mean, he didn't even look sad.

He was just like, "I know what I want."

And this is me, about me. Like it always is.

He fell in love in [bleep] two weeks.

The girl that we don't like. "She's a friend."

Un-[bleep]-believable.

That was even harder than I imagined.

She was not expecting for me to say that.

I know...

* Always thought that we'd grow old *

* Just another story told *

And I'm like, so you actually found someone here.

He's like, "Thank you for bringing me here."

[ gasping ]

That's all it [bleep] took.

"I'm Makayla," that's it?

Okay.

I hope his family loves her and they have a great life.

* Never think that it'd all fall apart *

She'll never really know...

that I did come into this island

expecting to marry her and be with her.

* It's not your fault *

* That you let them in *

Just seems like-- I look like a fool.

God, I'm so glad you're working on yourself.

You're so selfish, as always.

* I gave you all I had *

* And you turned your back on me *

***

*[ indistinct lyrics ] *

* What was left of our dreams *

- Hey. - Hey.

It's our boy.

- Are you okay? - Yeah, I'm good.

Oh, my God, so, what's going on?

I'm seeing that

she has a lot to change to fix our relationship

and it's like, I don't think she's gonna change it.

- And you? - Okay.

Seeing that message is confirmation that

everything that I thought, everything I accused her of,

I was right.

I'm happy I didn't send her a message.

Once you cheat, you can never go back.

Like, once you have sex with somebody,

the relationship is never the same again.

What's up, Great?

So, do you feel like, do you guys,

you could work it out, or what was her message?

She's trying to say that I should get my act together

and come back to her.

That's what it sounds like she was saying.

I think she's manipulating you.

I'm focusing on my journey and what I'm doing.

- This is insane. - Where's Hall?

- Where's Hall? - Does anyone know where he is?

I don't know.

Do you think he feels confused?

Because the thing with him was like,

if she's learning how to be more emotional and open,

then that was one thing that they needed.

You all good Makayla? You okay?

Um, I just definitely know Hall is going through it

because he's not out here and I just feel guilty.

- [ Makayla sniffles ] - Don't feel guilty, babe.

Don't feel guilty.

You just-- you've been yourself this entire time

and Hall likes you.

And even before you came in the picture,

he knew that he didn't want to be with her, you know?

So, you can't put that blame on yourself.

Okay, they listened to the video message

and all of the boys came out but Hall has not came out.

I'm just, like, thinking, like,

where is he, what's he thinking?

Is he avoiding me?

I don't know where he is.

Like, I know he's going through a hell

and I just feel guilty and I'm like,

maybe I just, you know, tell him we're just friends.

He's broke her heart once and it killed him.

So, if he thinks he's gonna do that again,

like, he's gonna be torn up.

Just seeing him happy and not confused

would make me happy.

And I think that's why I'm like,

"Oh, I actually do have love for him,"

because you just wanna see that person happy.

Even if it's not with you. And I just want him to be happy.

Like, I really let my walls down

and I'm letting myself

be in this position like, oh...

I just feel guilty.

I knew that he was engaged

but I couldn't help it.

I just feel bad.

[ "Never Be Enough" by Emily Brophy playing ]

* 'Cause if you stay right here my love *

* You'll never be enough *

* If I stay right here my love *

* Oh, I'll never be enough *

Uh, we're getting lit tonight.

- That's not the solution, guys. - I know.

[overlapping conversation]

She wants to have fun. So, we gotta support her.

I need a distraction, otherwise,

what the [bleep] am I gonna do?

- How we doing? - We've been better.

I don't know how we're doing, to be honest.

We are just gonna have a great night, guys,

and we're gonna cheers to you.

And we're gonna cheers to new beginnings.

New beginnings as a single [bleep] lady.

Yes, Kaitlin is single.

[ tense music playing ]

Hall came here.

He basically came over to say...

deja vu, you know, broken me once,

and, like, he just wants me to find my person.

I don't know what Hall's thinking.

He's not a man.

Everything he's done up to this point has been cowardice

and just inhumane towards someone that he should love.

Might be a blessing in disguise, though.

Yeah, it definitely will be.

I think you're gonna be fighting,

finding the right person relatively soon, so.

- You know, I'm sorry. - I mean, he's selfish.

He always will be selfish. I wish him the best of luck.

Good riddance.

Good [bleep] riddance.

- Cheers to that. - Cheers to that.

You just let go of a girl that's not only beautiful,

but she has her shit together.

She's smart. She's funny. Her personality is amazing.

So, like, yeah, so, I don't even wanna talk about him.

[bleep]. He's a loser.

- We'll talk after. - Okay.

[ calm piano music playing ]

Honestly, I was expecting Christopher to, like,

send some real manipulative,

- you know how it is. - Yeah.

I'm actually grateful in a way

that I didn't have to see a message from Chris.

I am free to live life however I desire

and I will never let anybody tell me what to do ever again.

[ majestic music playing ]

[ "I Am a War Now" by Pretty Cinders playing ]

* But you won't try to look at me *

* And I ain't even seen you smile lately *

Come over here. Why you so far?

- You sat over there. - I'm coming, my baby.

Oh, everybody's in relationships here.

- I love that. - Once again,

Tia gets hit by a stray bullet, but that's fine.

I ain't.

* Baby I am a war now *

Coming in the house, I mean, I am so worn out.

I've had every emotion today imaginable.

I've had love, happiness, sad, scared,

frustrated, upset,

angry, happy again.

I am exhausted...

and all I wanna do...

is just talk to Makayla.

That's all I wanna do.

- Knock, knock. - I'm putting cheese on mine.

- Knock, knock. - Oh, my God, hi.

- Whoa. Finally, bro. - [ women exclaiming ]

There's my brother.

- I missed y'all. - I missed you, too.

We played hide and seek. We never found you.

- Never found me. - Come take a seat.

No, no, no, before I do anything,

I'm gonna take my lady for a talk.

Like, I really feel like the feelings that I have

are mutual because I've never felt this way in my life.

And there's no way that he doesn't feel the way I feel.

But, could the guilt get to him?

I don't know, like,

I literally cannot imagine leaving this island,

not walking out with him.

But I don't want to be naive.

And so, I'm just scared.

I'm just scared.

I watched the video of Kaitlin

and it was exactly what I expected.

She wants for me to make a decision.

So, I needed to go have a conversation

with Kaitlin myself.

I told her...

that we are not meant to be.

You have shown me what I've been missing.

I'm no longer engaged.

No pressure on you...

because we are having the time of our life

getting to know each other.

I am sorry I put you through that

but I had to handle--

I had the opportunity to talk to her.

I have no second guesses on my decision

even if you were not here.

Are you feeling a little bit better now?

I still feel bad,

but I'm really trying to just follow my heart...

and I can't control what the heart wants.

And so, I do feel guilty,

but I need to learn to not feel guilty.

I'm going through that battle with you.

Today was a tough day

and to come back to someone like Makayla...

makes me even more confused because I'm like,

"How am I this happy...

when 30 minutes ago I just did the hardest thing in my life?"

That should not make any sense at all.

But Makayla makes me so happy

that I can't help but smile.

I know I did the right thing tonight.

And, uh...

we can now start building something special together.

- Shall we? - Mm-hmm.

Uh, what did I get myself into?

***

Well, guys, I think we should turn the [bleep] up.

We're gonna have a little party.

The theme is Pirates and Mermaids.

- [ all cheering ] - [bleep] yeah.

[indistinct].

***

[ men cheering ]

To finding the treasure at the end of this experience.

[ overlapping conversation ]

So, after what I just went through tonight,

I have, like, no words, no feelings.

I'm so numb.

But like, thank goodness the girls

and the boys in my house,

they're here to just try to forget

about everything that just happened.

Like, we're just turning up.

[ "Loved You From the Start" by Jordan Bromwich playing ]

* [ indistinct lyrics ] *

* Hold on, [ indistinct lyrics ] *

[ all cheering ]

* ...every night and day *

[ champagne bottle pops ]

[ women cheering ]

I was in the pool with Sebastian.

We were swimming together, he, like, went for the kiss.

Like, now we have a little swim.

***

[ women cheering ]

[ mellow music ]

So, are you gonna sleep on the other side

of the bed with me?

Sure.

Yeah, I'm so happy.

You have no idea.

- I'll go get ready for bed. - You go get ready for bed.

It's been, like, four-plus years

since I have invited someone else in my bed,

other than Kaitlin.

I'm a little nervous. I'm a lot nervous.

I'm definitely gonna give her some...

[ smacks lips ] ...some southern lips tonight.

[ Hall chuckles ]

Argh, I'm a cheese ball.

* But I wanna stay all night *

* Yeah, I wanna stay all night *

* No, ain't nobody leaving *

* Ain't nobody kill my vibe *

Ooh!

What's wrong with you? Oh, shit.

I don't even give a [bleep] about that.

- Yeah, exactly. - And he'll probably be like,

"Hey, I'm single. Let's have sex."

She'll be good. She's in good hands.

Oh, look.

Is she trying to stay the night tonight?

- Yeah? - Yeah.

I feel bad for Kaitlin, obviously with her situation,

but at the same time, obviously,

there's, like, a weight lifted off my shoulders.

Now I can explore this connection fully

without wondering if she's gonna go back to him or not.

'Cause I think now that, for sure, like, that's closed.

And she can just, like, be open with me.

[ fire crackling ]

[ bugs chirping ]

I mean, I'm single, I guess at this point.

So, I, like, don't know what to feel.

I just cut off my engagement. It's been a night.

I think I would wake up in the morning being like,

"What the [bleep]?" but...

until then...

ask me tomorrow because tonight...

I'm fine.

***

* Got me hooked on a feeling *

* What a beautiful thing to believe in *

* In paradise *

Do you want to talk real quick?

Yeah, let's just go.

Yesterday was a lot.

With that being said... [ chuckles ]

...I kissed Sebastian

and we were, like, cuddling, we only cuddled.

So, I need to talk to Mike

and like, I don't want him to feel like

I, you know, used him along the way.

I'm so grateful for everything, like, you've done.

I don't take you for granted. I don't want you to feel that.

I just feel like after yesterday, I'm like,

I'm not looking to jump into anything serious.

I'm not looking-- I have no idea...

but I don't want to hurt you.

We do have this connection. I'm just like...

like, I want to be friends.

I want to be your friend as well.

And, like, I understand,

you're allowed to do whatever you want to do.

Kaitlin sits me down and basically,

she friend-zones me, that sucks.

But if she's taking a step back,

I need to follow suit and see how it plays out.

- Can I have a hug? - Of course.

[ muffled conversation ]

- I appreciate you. - I appreciate you.

So, do you think you wanna, like,

leave this island by yourself, have you thought about that?

I'm tired of just telling him how to act.

I'm tired of just accepting it

and then like, making excuses for it

because that's all I do and it doesn't change.

I hope that you remember what space feels like here

and now that you've experienced it,

I hope it's so [bleep] powerful that you're like,

"Nah, I'm not conceding this time."

At the end of the day, I do feel a lot freer.

And I-- I love what freedom feels like.

I love, like, just how...

how nice and refreshing it just feels to just, like...

You're gonna have a lot of opportunities after this

- and for yourself. - Exactly.

- Not like the last time. - Exactly.

I don't care anymore.

I don't care anymore.

* 'Cause you're broken and I'm bleeding *

* And I'm searching for a reason *

* Tell me anything to make it make sense *

Cheers to...

no more gray area just being-- being open.

- Open and honest. - I like that.

- To being open and honest. - Yeah.

Oh, this is perfect.

After watching Rob's video message,

I feel mixed emotions.

It sounds like he still wants to make this work,

but part of him feels like he deserves better.

So, it's refreshing having a little bit

of additional TLC from Brice.

As of now, I would still

leave the island with Rob.

However, I still have a little bit of time left here.

And so, um, you know, things can change.

Where do we go from here? What do you think?

Whether I leave by myself,

whether I leave in a relationship,

or whether, you know, you care to join me?

Like, I just want to make sure that

I make the best decision for me.

Definitely. That's why you're here.

And you're very supportive in that regard.

So, I appreciate that.

I'm in pain, either my future, or our future.

And what that looks like to me, and you could do the same.

Then we-- at the end, maybe our futures will match up.

I love to paint, and the fact

that I have a chance to go on a date with Tahjjic

makes me feel very happy, because I feel like,

it's gonna help our connection be stronger.

Okay, so, this isn't the best painting in the world,

but I see myself in the future,

moving to Miami with you.

So, I painted this house

which is a really big house, and that's the ocean.

We're gonna have a beachfront. You know what I'm saying?

It's gonna be dope. You know what I mean?

I know she wants to move to Miami,

so, I painted our house in Miami.

And I wanted to let her know

where my head is at, as well, with our future.

- Mm. - [ lips smacking ]

So, cheers.

Cheers, my God, this is the world's strongest Margarita.

World's strongest Margarita.

Ooh, I have a date today

with Kristian and I know anything we do,

we kind of just make it fun, we make it sexy.

So, anything we do, I'm sure it will be hot.

You wanna learn how to... [ speaks Spanish ] ...with me?

- I'd love to. - [ speaks Spanish ].

- What does that mean? - Let's dance.

So, you're teaching me Spanish and dancing.

- [ speaks Spanish ] - Thank you.

So, it's gonna go,

one, two, three, four.

- One, two, three, four. - What was that?

I'm, like, I'm a ballerina, like, my dance is like this.

[ upbeat music plays ]

He has a cute dance, too.

It's just, like, it is like, yeah. [ chuckles ]

Ah, yeah.

Um, this is fun. Well done, Temptation Island.

[ laughing ]

[ "Found You" by Aaron Kellim plays ]

One, two, three, four,

five, six.

Today, we are going to have

an impromptu choreography lesson.

I'm gonna make sure we sweat, and I'm gonna end it

with a nice, little, sexy cool down.

Five, six, seven, eight.

If I had known that Marisela

would break things off with me in her message,

I would've dove in head-first with Alexius,

because our initial vibe was just beautiful.

- You did a great job. - You did a great job, too.

You're an amazing teacher.

[ laughing ]

- It's not me. - [ Christopher laughs ]

I mean, it's not you, it's me.

So, do you know how to bake?

I do not know how to bake,

so, this is gonna be interesting.

- You? - [ Desiree chuckles ]

- Yeah, they're vegan cookies. - Okay.

Again, alone time with Des is so important,

because we have limited time on this island

and it's nice to get that one on one time.

Really get to know her more and, you know,

develop more of that connection with her.

[ chuckles ] I think you should try it

before we move on to the next step.

That's actually really good.

Bah! [ chuckles ]

Okay, so, now you wanna do that?

I can, hey, I'm cool with it, man.

- [ laughing ] - Oh, man.

Okay, well, we can't waste too much of it,

because we need it for the cookies.

But, here is just some. [ laughs ]

You're gonna have to lick this off.

- What are you gonna do? - [indistinct].

Just don't mess up the cookies.

[ laughing ]

Oh, no. [ exclaims ]

[ upbeat music ]

Oh, my God.

You are beautiful. Wow. I love it.

Can I-- can I give you a hug, please?

Don't knock off my-- my leaves.

Today, I am taking Great

on a little date at the house

to show him how I get down with some paint.

You are beautiful, by the way. Wow.

I see you smiling more

and letting your guard down a little bit.

Out here with leaves on, guard is down.

Are you ready to see the masterpiece?

[ exclaims ]

Oh, my God, you did so good.

[ chuckles ]

You did amazing.

You did really good on my face, too.

Nafeesah is 100% my temptation on this island,

and I am happy with that type of temptation.

***

I think I'm still feeling numb

about the current situation.

I mean, I've literally been here before

and I think this time, hearing it again,

I'm like, "This is it."

I feel like he cares about himself

and I need to care about myself.

Good evening, ladies.

- Hi, Mark. - Good evening, Mark.

Ladies, welcome back to Bonfire.

How's everybody doing?

- I'm anxious. - You're anxious?

- Yeah. - Okay.

Yeah.

Okay, so, let's just do this.

We'll jump in together, we'll chop it up.

- Thank you. - Just like we do.

- Okay. - Okay?

Take a look, Vanessa, here we go.

[ sighs ]

I'm not ready to let Vanessa go,

because I still love her, and then,

I hope she can change and grow from this.

And, you know, my head is telling me one thing

and my heart is telling me another.

And it's like, "Which one do I follow?"

I do feel like she needs a man like me

and I hope she does find it.

But I don't want it to be me,

because I've just dealt with her for so[bleep] long.

It's like-- and it just drains me, bro.

She just[bleep], now I'm gonna cry.[ chuckles ]

- It just drains me so much. - Do you need a hug?

Yes, I need a hug.

But it drains me so[bleep] much, yo.

It's like, she's sucking the soul out of my life.

[ sobbing ]

You got an answer, though.

[ sobbing ]

He came through for me.

He finally came through for me.

In what way did he come through for you?

He just remained solid,

and I understand that he's hurting

but he didn't allow that hurt

to drive him into the arms of someone else.

He didn't look for comfort and peace with someone else.

And I'm proud of him.

I'm so proud of him for, like, the first--

for, like, the first time, I can look at him and say, like,

"You know, you made me proud.

You made me proud."

I'm seeing this reaction to this clip

and yet there's room where you can work on you

and you don't have to work on him all the time.

Which is the second half of that clip, you didn't hear.

Rob saying, "I'm tired, I can't live up to it."

- That's pain. - I hear him.

- I know you do. - I hear him.

Which means that while he may be young

and in some ways immature

compared to what you think maturity is...

there's wisdom in the youth.

There's wisdom.

Now, the question is

when you reach the final bonfire,

will you be able to show this version of you,

dangerously to Rob, and will that be enough?

- I understand. - I know you do.

- Paris. - Yes?

I have a lot I wanna talk to you about.

Let's watch the clip and we'll talk about it.

What is this?

What is this?

- What-- what the-- - [ muffled moaning ]

What the [bleep] is this? What is this?

Oh, my God.

This is all the things you said before,

that you were feeling.

It's the same bullshit again, Mark.

It's the same shit again. Like, I'm tired of this shit.

I know you're hurting

and you want this to go differently.

It's like, I chose

not to [bleep] Tahjjic in the house,

because-- because-- because I respect Great.

And I'm-- I'm here watching him doing all this bullshit.

Have you done anything with Tahjjic?

No, besides kissing, no.

- But you've kissed. - That's it.

- But, I mean, Great said-- - Has he spent the night?

Yes, but there was no sex.

Right, so-- but if I'm Great

and I saw those clips, what would I think?

I saw-- I saw this thing, the moaning.

When I'm with Tahjjic, I don't moan.

I'm not arguing with you whether or not he had sex.

I'm saying you're collapsing physical

with emotional connection.

I just think, like, at this point

I don't have no more answers for Great.

Like, I'm sorry, I don't-- I don't mean to, but it's like,

- every bonfire... - You don't have to apologize.

...it's always the same shit again.

Here's the beauty about this.

At the final bonfire, you can tell him anything

- you wanna tell him. - Okay.

Okay.

You're sitting there just like an angel,

waiting for your turn.

[ laughs ] Are you ready?

- Mm-hmm. - Okay, let's take a look.

I know that Marisela will try to come crawling back,

but it's too late for all of that shit, you know.

You made your choice, now you have to live with it

and I hope it was worth it.

Um, I'm not going to be crawling back

and I don't need to please others,

or worry about how I come across.

Which is something I struggled with way too long.

How about the other people in your life who have--

you felt like you needed to not be fully you in front of?

I've realized that I felt like,

"Oh, if I just act a certain way

and I do right by them at all times,

that will make them happy."

But what I've realized is I was, um,

neglecting a lot of myself along the way.

I've let my past control my present.

I've let my family control

my-- my energy

and I've just regained all control.

You know, who you need to clean it up with?

- Oh, my-- - Whoever is still

- weighing heavy on your heart. - Yeah.

So, to answer that question, you don't owe anybody anything.

But if it's weighing heavy on your heart,

you get to get rid of the burden.

Either way, you're complete, either way.

- Kaitlin. - Let's do it.

Like, what age do you want to start having kids?

So, I've already been,

uh, like, I've already changed my mind about this.

Um, obviously, with Kaitlin, I wanted kids.

If we were gonna have kids, we need to have them now,

because we've been together for eight years.

Right.

And again, I was putting in my head

that she's the one, she's the one, she's the one.

Now that I know she's definitely not the one.

Mm-hmm.

This, it's all about building a partnership

and building on our love.

Like, whenever the timing is right.

And I want you to do everything you wanna do in life.

- Mm-hmm. - [ Kaitlin scoffs ]

When you're ready, I'll be ready.

- Damn. - Say no more.

- But don't worry. - Yeah.

First of all, how does it feel to hear him

say to this new person,

everything you have been asking him to say to you?

[ exhales ] I think I'm angry. I'm disappointed.

I was fighting for this relationship

that he didn't even care about.

Like, I feel relieved.

I feel like, as much as--

at first, I was like, "Oh my gosh,

this is my fault that we came here.

And what our family's gonna think and all that stuff."

Like, I'm relieved, I know now.

The reason you chose to come here may--

may not have come out the way you had expected,

- but it has served a purpose. - Yeah.

That I think you're seeing.

You spend a lot of time trying to fit in other people's boxes

and you shouldn't fit in a box.

You should wait for somebody to build a throne.

I like that.

I'm overwhelmed by all four of you.

And, congratulations.

Before you go, there's one more thing.

Tonight, back at your villa,

you're gonna pick your final dates.

Other thing to remember is that the people

that aren't picked for these final dates,

the singles, will be going home.

This was your last bonfire together.

Your next bonfire will be the final one

where you'll reunite with the people

you came to the island with.

And that's all I have for you.

Uh, thank you all.

Head on back to the villa

and make sure you pick those final dates.

He disappointed me so much

that I-- I have no words right now.

***

***

Going into this bonfire, it's a surreal moment.

I know for sure that Marisela

is a single woman.

So, it's definitely a change, of course,

but I'm ready to embrace the transition

and uh, see what I need to see,

so that I can move forward with my life.

What's up, fellas?

- Hey, Mark. - Mark, what's up?

- Nice to see you. - Fresh as always.

- Yes, always fresh. - [ chuckling ]

- Thank you, sir. - Yeah.

We're gonna start with you, Christopher.

[ sighs ]

I do feel a lot for you and I-- I-- I--

I love what freedom feels like.

[bleep].

- [ moaning ] - [ lips smacking ]

- Look at you. - Look at you.

Marisela is embracing her singleness.

Uh, it looks like she has formed

a connection that she likes.

So, she's entitled

to have the freedom that she wants.

I've realized that my relationship

lacks a lot of the things that I like.

Seeing, like, these qualities in Alexius,

it just reminds me of what I've sacrificed

in my-- with my time with Marisela.

This new space that you've discovered, feel good?

Feels great, I've neglected myself so much.

Okay, while there's still plenty of things to learn,

I'm impressed with what you've shared

tonight that you did learn.

Felt better not talking to you, Mark.

- Oh, really? - Yeah, you always get me

- where I need to be. - Well, I got love for you, pal.

- Love you, too, man. - All right.

- Rob. - Bring it on.

Bring it on. Let's take a look.

I have no idea, like,

how to perceive

and if I'm capable of...

you know, just healing and forgiveness

and vulnerability.

Like, I'm just really working on being vulnerable

and I don't want to be so guarded all the time.

I don't wanna be like that anymore.

That's not-- that's no way to live.

What do you think about that?

It's kind of like, the audacity,

because that is how I feel.

I don't express my opinion,

because I know it's gonna lead to a fight

and that fight is not gonna end

unless I say I'm sorry.

I-- I don't like to say it but almost a hatred for her,

because I let-- I always take the "L",

even when I know I'm right, I take an "L" and it's like--

it's just the audacity you see in that clip.

Could that clip be her saying,

"I've learned that I need to be vulnerable?"

Part of me wants Vanessa to have experienced this change

and wants our relationship to be better and grow from this.

But, then, part of me is like, it's been so mentally exhausting

and it's like, "Do I wanna put up with this?

Do I want to continue with this?"

When it's like, it's put me down so much,

and being apart from her, I feel so much more happier.

And that's just the battle right now.

It's a battle that, when you say it out of your mouth

to the person that you once loved

and possibly still do,

- you can have a discussion. - Yeah.

I like where you're at.

- Thank you. - All right.

- You ready? - Yes, sir.

Okay, Great. Let's take a look.

Here we go.

[ chuckles ] Jesus.

Okay, let's talk about that.

Um, I saw a single girl just, you know,

doing single things.

I don't feel like they're actually connecting, you know,

but I just see him just messing around.

They're having fun.

Could the reason she's not connecting be,

because she's still in love with you?

I haven't thought about it like that.

It's something for you to also look at.

How much of this relationship you're having now

is out of response,

or reaction to what you've seen?

- Definitely not, Mark. - Okay.

Compared to my experience,

I'm doing similar things, but I'm actually, like,

connecting with the person that I'm doing that to.

Maybe that's because she can't make a real connection,

because the real connection is with you.

And then, when she sees a clip of you making a real connection,

- then that hurts her. - Fine.

She was in the bed with the guy. Fine.

Were you in the bed with a girl?

There was a reason for that one, though, so it's different.

While it hurts, and you would prefer

that this didn't happen,

and maybe they did have sex

and maybe they didn't have sex.

But you said yourself, for whatever reason,

you don't think there's a connection there.

So you have a lot to talk to Paris about,

if, in fact, any part of you ever loved her, at any point.

Okay.

Hall, bring us home.

- Let's do it. - Let's take a look.

- The second time. - Kaitlin, why would he want

to leave you for a girl that he just met?

I don't[bleep] know. I wish them the best.

I mean, he didn't even look sad.

He was like, "I know what I want.

And this is me, about me, me,"

like it always is.

[indistinct] [bleep].

Oh, my God, I'm so glad you've worked on yourself.

You're so selfish as always.

***

What are you feeling?

Uh, the first part of the clip hurt me more.

The second part of the clip is hopefully

her starting to move on from me.

In the clip, she called you selfish.

- What do you say to that? - I have never been first

to Kaitlin, ever.

Uh, who-- who was in front of you?

Her business,

her-- her family, our dog.

- And then, then you? - Then me.

I can go on for days, but I don't wanna

talk bad about-- I don't want to talk bad about her.

It's not talking bad.

It's talking about how you felt.

- Yeah. - Which is, by the way,

we are in this bonfire

and I'm hearing this for the first time.

That gives me a lot of information.

- Yeah. - That I can understand.

But now, you have this joy that you discovered,

there's an opportunity, if you're man enough

to have this, to hold space

for Kaitlin to get complete on the pain that she's had.

- Not once, but twice. - Yeah, yeah.

All right. That's all I got for you.

A couple of things before you go.

Tonight, back at your villa,

you're gonna pick final dates.

Now, this is an overnight date.

So, think about who you really want

to continue building a relationship with.

Remember, it's those relationships

that are gonna help you open up

and find the answers you're looking for.

Also, there are going to be no more bonfire clips,

or Temptation Light moving forward.

I'd like you to just focus on your final dates

and the rest of your time here on the island.

Okay?

Head back to the villa and I'll see you soon.

- All right. Thank you, Mark. - All right boys.

I don't know why Kaitlin says I'm selfish.

I don't know,

because I have not been selfish.

I have done so much for her

and her calling me selfish makes me look like a bad person.

It's not fair to me.
