- Who do you think is hot?
Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt,
Chris Evans. - Pine.
- Chris Pine. - Just put Chris.
(laughing)
- We are nailing this!
(upbeat music)
- Hi my name is Stanley, and I'm a video editor.
Do I feel like I'm good at flirting?
Generally no, I wouldn't say that nah.
But you know, maybe I'll learn something today.
Hi my name is Tressa, and I'm a barista.
- Hi my name's Lizz and I'm a DJ.
- My name is Bekki and I'm a staff attorney.
- I'm super single.
I've got a cat, but we're just in love, not dating.
- I feel like it's harder to get to know someone via text,
because there are so many nuances
that you don't get to hear, or see.
- I think it is possible to
show your personality enough
to get people to like you or want to
get to know you more via text.
I've been known to be pretty quick-witted
with the text messages occasionally.
- I don't think I've ever seduced anyone period.
So maybe today's the day.
You're gonna see it happen, it's gonna be sexy.

- Hello everyone, I'm Third Wheel.
Welcome to the group chat.
This is round one, the speed round.
First question, describe yourself in three emojis.
- Dude, I'm choking. - This is hard.
- I know.
- I know, I'm like going through--
- You just went with like first thing you saw.
With something like this,
you just kind of have to trust your gut.
- Okay I'm gonna close my eyes and just pick one.
- Tressa has a girl dancing, a hiking boot,
and then a palm tree, or you know yeah.
My favorite out of these three people's emojis
that describe them, I guess I would go with Bekki.
I kind of like this dog ghost rocker chick combo going on.
I don't know, let's just do something random.
Let's just pick this peanut.
- Oh, contestant. - Okay, okay, okay.
Wait is that the guy? - Yeah.
- Next!
- Next question, what's your
ideal first date in three emojis?
- Yo, I'm gonna put a baby.
(laughing) - Ooh, oh.
Going for broke.
- I just want to do the weirdest stuff.
See this is why I can't date.
- So Tressa picked a baby?
I'm not gonna lie, Tressa's I just don't quite understand.
- Movie and then you like examine the movie over dinner.
- No, no, I'm like examining his life over social media
to make sure he's not a--
- A creep. - Yeah.
- Okay. - Yeah.
- So I guess her ideal date would be to go to the movies,
go to an escape room,
and then go home and cook dinner?
That doesn't sound bad.
Ooh next one, send a picture of your shoes.
I'm kind of a shoe person, so I'm kind of curious.
Liz has some like checkered flip flops.
Not a huge fan.
Tressa showed her actual feet.
Oh yeah, Bekki's got Allbirds, I heard those are cool.
Bekki didn't show her feet either.
I don't know if they were told to do that
because they don't want to reveal who they are,
or if they're just ashamed of their feet.
- No fair, I'm the only one with feet in it.
- Oh you got a little heart next to yours though.
- Ooh, the risk paid off.
- Yeah. - Excuse me.
- I did it.
(laughing)
- No you didn't!
- I did.
- You know what, if the connection is made here too,
that's still a win.
- Last question, cats or dogs?
I am allergic to cats.
Lizz is into doggos.
Bekki is a puppers person, cool.
I hate to say it, but I think Tressa's kind of on my bottom.
She says cats, I think that might be the dealbreaker there.
- I was such a dog person for so long,
and now I just adopted a cat
and man, they're fun.
- Oh I can't decide, both.
(plucky music)
So I have to eliminate one.
Lizz, Tressa, or Bekki.
(Stanley groans)
- It's a little harder than I thought it would be.
- I just keep thinking that like,
your guys's responses, I would have no idea
who you are either.
He's not gonna know.
- I don't know, I feel bad 'cause I feel like
I don't know these people at all,
and I'm just basing them off these random shoe pictures.
I think I'm eliminating Tressa.
Her like, ideal first date answer was kind of weird.
If it ends up I eliminated the love of my life,
then I'm not gonna blame myself for it.
- I'm sorry-- - Ah!
- Don't even know me.
- I'm sorry, I'm sorry. - Tressa.
- I knew it was gonna be me!
I shouldn't have put the baby.
- Oh there she is, aw sorry.
Tressa, no.
I'll never know if she's the love of my life.
(groovy music)
Just go with Lizz, and then we'll see how it goes.
Stanley and Lizz, welcome to round two.
What's been the hardest part about dating?
- Oh that's cute, you guys put the same thing!
- He just copied my answer, he's a follower.
- Oh wow, I don't know if that makes us
really good for each other, or really bad for each other.
What kind of road bumps are you hitting?
I'm not a people person, wow.
That's not the best answer, I feel like.
- This is Third Wheel jumping in.
Cake or pie?
- Ice cream, wow look at her.
She's breaking the rules here.
- I'm partial sea salt and caramel ribbons, ew.
- Whoa, she said ew?
(laughs)
Wow, she just (bleep) on my favorite ice cream flavor.
I was gonna kind of say the same thing about hers,
but I didn't want to just straight up
give an ew.
What's your ideal vacation?
So I love Tokyo.
I hated London 'cause the food sucked.
- Oh my god, I love London.
- The food is great in London!
- Time is up?
This didn't go very well.
She said she's not a people person.
She (bleep) on my favorite ice cream flavor,
and then I hated on London's food
and then she said that she loved it.
That doesn't bode well.
- Stanley and Bekki, welcome to round two.
I'll get us started with a question.
What are you looking for in a partner in one sentence?
Bekki said I'm looking for a partner
in the true sense of the term, preferably someone funny.
- I feel like my answer was terrible.
It could've been better.
Your answer was basically what I'd say too.
- She said yeah, 'cause it was a good answer.
She's got a little bit of an attitude with her, okay.
This is Third Wheel jumping in.
If you could have dinner
with anyone in the world, who would it be?
- Queen Elizabeth, I love her.
- Is that the one that's still alive?
- Anthony Bourdain is dead.
Anthony Bourdain passed away.
- Does he not know what happened to Anthony Bourdain?
- No one specified! (phone chirps)
Okay this is Third Wheel again.
Fancy dinner, or a food truck?
I prefer a fancy dinner.
- First date's probably a little much though, okay.
- Time's up, that's the end of round two, Stanley.
You'll now have five minutes to choose
your next elimination and the winner
who you'll meet IRL.
Please standby.
I feel like the conversation with Lizz wasn't that great.
She's like, I don't like people,
which is not a great thing to hear.
We bumped head on London and our ice cream flavors,
but also I don't know.
Is that enough to never want to know this person ever again?
- I don't know, I mean he just seemed like
he kind of repeated answers back
that I already said, and--
- See I think that means you guys have a lot in common.
- I know, but I also feel like he, I don't know,
I don't want to date myself.
- Let me go over this Bekki thing.
I felt like that didn't go as smoothly either.
She hated on the fact that I chose a dead person,
even though no one said that I couldn't.
Someone who can dish out some (bleep) I guess.
Maybe I'm leaning towards Bekki.
- I mean, I'm always a little apprehensive about
people who bring up diminishing returns
when it comes to a first date.
- Agreed.
- Also, he didn't seem that impressed with Queen Elizabeth
which is a big red flag, because she's amazing and a badass.
- Stanley, time is up.
Please text here who is your next elimination.
Lizz, I'm sorry.
- Aww.
- Wow!
- Have fun! - Okay.
- Whoa, I mean, she's a looker.
It's fine though.
(pleasant music)
Whoa. (Bekki laughs)
- Hey! - Whoa, how's it going?
- [Bekki] Good, how are you?
- You're Bekki.
- I am Bekki.
How was it?
- You know I felt bad eliminating people
off of very kind of arbitrary things.
- [Bekki] It was unexpected.
It's not how I expected my Friday afternoon
to go, but it was fun.
- Do you want to just go and get a cup of coffee?
- Yeah. - Is that how this works?
- Yeah let's go. - All right.
Sure, let's do it!
(pleasant music)
