Okay, yes, these people have only known each other for a couple of days.
In the grand scheme of things, theyre basically still strangers.
We pick back up with the Paradise dates.
Even though its only the second day, Gwan-hee and Ha-jeongs interactions already feel predictable.
Of course she tries to sit on his back while hes doing push-ups.
Of course he jokes that shes too heavy.
He says hell be offended even if she picks him because she hesitated.
I personally wouldve picked Min-kyu right then and there to humble Gwan-hee.
Gwan-hee stops pouting, but his vibes are weird at the end of the night.
Maybe its because hes an athlete and cares about winning?
I dont know, but I doubt any other guy this season wouldve taken this approach.
Meanwhile, were finally seeing some of Won-ik and Si-euns date.
We learn that hes a 31-year-old Realtor and shes a 27-year-old freelance model.
During their rose-petal bath, their conversation is pretty surface-level.
Won-ik says shes his ideal physical bang out but that he has appreciated her thoughtfulness as theyve talked more.
Gwan-hee and Ha-jeong start playfully arguing first thing the next morning.
So far, both women hes been to Paradise with have told him its okay to share a room.
Looks like hes the one whos actually uncomfortable, eh?
And hey, its totally fine if Gwan-hee has certain personal boundaries.
Ha-jeong leans on Gwan-hee, while Min-kyu and Gyu-ri appear to automatically reach for each others hands.
Compared to these pairs, Won-ik and Si-eun just seem like polite friends.
Now that the Infernos have fully merged, the women debrief.
(If it was, I wouldve at least felt comfortable, Si-eun says.
Gyu-ri says she had a better time than expected in Paradise with Min-kyu and didnt really click with Min-woo.
And now, game time!
The results:
The Realtor has the stealth build!
Gwan-hee catches up with Hye-seon and seems to suggest that he liked his trip to Paradise with her better.
But when Ha-jeong comes to find him for a one-on-one, hes impressed by that initiative.
He tells her hes more attached to her than Hye-seon.
(One percent is open.)
Min-young is still working through her feelings for Jin-seok.
That wouldve been humiliating.
The group begins asking pointed questions in a drinking game.
Ha-bin drinks rather than reveal how many candies he got or gave.
Not a good look.
When the crowd disperses, Gyu-ri and Gwan-hee start chatting.
Apparently, they knew each other before the show.
Meanwhile, Jin-seok assures Min-young that its okay for her to be interested in other people.
She tells him she was a little annoyed because he made their connection so obvious early on.
He says hell pursue her less even though shes still his No.
1; that way, other men might feel more comfortable approaching her.
But shes disappointed he said that and eventually starts crying.
Just like Gwan-hee, she seems to be expecting a lot from someone she herself isnt sure about.
Hye-seons jaw drops open, and Ha-jeong says she wants to confront Gwan-hee.
But first, theres a new female contestant on the island.
Gwan-hee says she seems like his ideal bang out who knows where his percentages are at now, sigh.
He also compares her dress to grass?
Hey, its better than Ha-bin, who asks if she was trying to emulate Dipsy fromTeletubbies.
(A puppy and a wolf, Hye-seon assesses.)
Min-young is also clearly worried about Jin-seok.
And now, its finally time for Gwan-hee to face the music.
She says if its not already clear how much shes interested in him, then shes done trying.
I think Ive done enough, but youre asking for more, she says.
You say youd return the effort, but youre asking for more.
Even though he apologizes, he doesnt sound sorry at all.
Shes still trying to hammer home that its about his behavior, not jealousy.
But he tries to end the conversation by holding out a hand and telling her to come with him.
Ha-jeong, thank God, has enough self-respect to decline and walk herself out.
Min-ji is also told to pick one person each for the dinner and swimming portions of her date.
Min-ji is revealed to be a 26-year-old econ major (at the same college as Hye-seon!)
who is studying to be a news anchor.
Min-woo, a 24-year-old model, becomes the youngest guy revealed so far.
Their conversation is pleasant but awkward.
Min-ji explains that she likes people who are fun and witty.
So its not too shocking that the pair hit it off.
She asks if his ideal key in is in Inferno.
Not anymore, he says, which, wow.
From a straight shooter like Jin-seok, that feels final.
In case it wasnt clear, hes all in for Min-ji now.
