kindly note: This recap covers episodes one through three.
Has any woman given more to reality television in just three episodes than her?
Six couples are on the brink of either getting engaged or breaking up.
First we have Lisa and Brian.
Lisa is 31 and feels like her uterus has become a ticking time bomb.
As soon as cameras begin rolling, Lisa starts to majorly regret her decision to come here.
More on that later.
Next, theres Kat and Alex.
Even less well matched are Antonio and Roxanne.
Antonio cant stop talking about his own financial insecurity and has literal nightmares about losing Roxanne.
Roxanne is a high-powered workin lady who genuinely seems to hate Antonio.
weeks together at a stretch.
Everybody strap in because this is about to be a wild ride.
But back to Lisas regrets.
Lisa has her first freakout at around 1:30 in the morning that very night.
And everyone thinks Lisas the nutty one for getting jealous?
Honestly, the more Lisa unravels, the more normal she seems to me.
She does smack Brian in the face out of fury, which I do not condone, but still.
God bless you, Lisa.
You will be so missed.
When it comes time to choose a new partner, Alex and Roxanne become downright mean.
I cant wait for you to feel less intimidated, Roxanne tells Antonio after he chooses Kat.
Says Alex to Roxanne, Youre like the polar opposite of my ex.
Youre very witty and smart.
Brought together by rejection, Antonio and Kat nevertheless attempt to make the best of things.
Fooling exactly no one, they agree that they are actually handling this situation the best out of everyone.
Theyre both traditionalists, ready to settle down and start making kids like yesterday.
Both were raised by single mothers, giving them some well-earned wariness about the whole marriage thing.
But while James and Riah are vibing, James is also losing his shit.
I am scared Im about to lose Ryann.
Everything that Trey was saying was true, James says in a post-Choice confessional.
Shes nice, beautiful eyes, caring, compassionate, and driven.
Its like yeah, youre right.
I dont even know why I agreed to come do this.
I feel like a fucking idiot.
He ends the episode openly weeping into his hands.
So, congratulations, Ryann.
Youve just won the whole game.
