- Jona is really affectionate towards Brandin
and attentive to her needs.
However, Brandin hasn't really reciprocated
this attention in any way.
He held her hand, and then she dropped it.
- It's going to be a problem. - Yeah.
Brandin and Jona still have 11 days before the end
of Honeymoon Island.
So they still have a lot of time to figure
out all their intimacy issues.
I feel like you're just being you.
And I feel more comfortable.
I feel like I understand you a little bit more.
So it's just kind of easy to just go with the flow of things
instead of having the pressure that I
was feeling in the beginning and I
think you were feeling as well.
Even though it's, like, this accelerated experiment, like,
I want things to be natural, and I want to feel comfortable.
And I don't want to show affection that isn't real.
Like, I want it to mean something
when I do show affection.
And I feel like letting that happen
is more important than, like, doing it
because that's what other people are doing.
I love the pace we're going at.
And I don't feel like I'm not getting
what I need, in any means.
So when we're just doing this, I feel really a sense of calm.
I feel good about everything.
I feel like in any relationship,
most important is to establish a friendship first.
Because if it's someone that I want to be with forever,
I don't feel like it's something that needs to be rushed.
I want to be able to remember, like, when our first kiss
happens, or whatever.
Like, I want it to be real.
And I feel like I have the friendship aspect with Jona
and we are building a relationship together.
Oh!
[laughter]
i thought you were going to pick me up
and carry me across the sand.
You can carry me like a princess, because I am one.
[grunts]
You found my fat roll.
OK. Better.
[music playing]
(SINGING) Like I said, it was love before.
But you won't say it.
Girl, you knock me down.
You do anyway you play it.
Let's see if we can find a good spot.
I'll pick a second spot.
That's what I have you here for.
So I was feeling great about our relationship.
And so I talked to Chris and Shannon.
And that concerns me.
I now have the opportunity to talk to Brandin to see if we
are really in the same place.
It's so funny we have these moments that are just you
and I. We know.
Like, we know where we are. And then I go--
I was playing pool with Shannon and Chris.
And it's so weird how far off everyone is
about their perception of us.
And I guess it's how we--
all the back and forth matter we had in the beginning.
And it's taken us time to show each other.
And I think it started becoming more evident to everyone
as we keep going forward. But--
The moments that we've had, I don't feel like it's
been necessary to share.
Like, everyone goes at their speed.
And it was more important for me to have that connection
with you first before I showed you affection that I
didn't feel like was genuine.
It doesn't matter to me that Shannon has his opinion
or that whoever else said something has their opinion.
Like, the only person's opinion that I care about, really,
is yours.
And I feel like we're doing OK.
Yeah.
Well said.
I like that about you.
I think that's all that should matter right now.
It feels right.
We came here to be ourselves and to put it out there.
And if you can't do that, you shouldn't be here.
And I'm OK.
I've been rejected before.
But I'm feeling like I'm where I belong.
It is the time.
There is no more playing around.
Like, I want to kiss this woman, and I'm ready.
[music playing]
(SINGING) But these eyes won't cry.
No fear--
I don't even know how it happened,
but Jona and I had our first kiss.
I cannot even explain to you the feeling.
And I'm really grateful that I found Jona.
He's pretty perfect.
(SINGING) But these eyes won't cry.
No fear, no fight when everything feels right.
