that's before ah I remember I do
remember okay
Liz was the woman from Nick's past we
had a lot of fun not me who wanted a
second chance at dating Nick there
definitely was a connection and
chemistry there but I'm not gonna tell
anyone but that secret was impossible
the key okay yeah we had sex you know me
that you guys put that in high place
okay I didn't know that it can't help
but be totally terrifying that this is
all gonna blow up in my face all I can
think about is I have to address this
list situation as far as like us having
a pass right I'm gonna anything wrong
with that right right we're two adults
who had a fun night things got a little
crazy and when you showed up night one
there was some definitely a pleasant
surprise behind it yeah just because I
did have so much fun with you and when
we hung out right but at the same time I
mean also if I'm being totally upfront
you know it certainly raised a lot a lot
of questions I had what as you know like
I haven't heard from you and while we
didn't exchange numbers we have mutual
friends and if you and wanted to pursue
a relationship with me why didn't I hear
from you I think it'd be foolish for me
and that's at least ask that question
right right
how easy it would have been to for you
to get my number and text and call and
things like that
so that's that's the thing I've been
kind of struggling with okay yeah maybe
you asked for my phone number but I
didn't really know you you know I mean
it's because I want that opportunity as
much as I could have gotten your number
in the last eight months like I also
knew during that time you're off
shooting Paradise and doing your thing
and I didn't want I didn't want the
wrong impression to come off but also
like I was in Paradise for four months
right but I knew you had stuff going on
but that's all so I'm not the type of
person I really enjoy I don't like
necessarily phone conversations like if
I already have an established
relationship with somebody part of me
wants to find a reason to
want to keep Liz around but the more I
talk the less the less she makes sense
you guys it feels like Liz and Nick have
been gone for a while a long time there
was been having some intense
conversation I think that Liz and Nick
are having a conversation right now
about some things that they needed to
talk about okay it sounds nonspecific
let's specify she could be more specific
that I think that would help all of us
well it'll be specified very soon I
think you know it's not my relationship
so it's not my business to tell really
okay well I'll just ponder on that and
try to figure that out later I'm pretty
sure that Liz has been slipping under
the radar so no I don't think anybody
suspects that liz has a history with
Nick and I think girls will be shocked
to find out I'd be surprised if some of
them don't decide to leave I really
wanted to cross paths with you again to
be able to have a conversation and to
see like if there was a potential if
there was a connection I do appreciate
you putting yourself out there you know
I think about the night that we had and
how much fun that we had and honestly
like to me it was a nice it was a had a
great time but you know to be honest
when you've made the decision I just
kind of said goodbye right and now
thinking about the relationships that
I've been forming with with all the
women here and and just trying to be
honest with myself and upfront with you
and I feel like there's other things
going on with the other women that I
think based on the conversation we had
the owner
and the conversation we're ahead now I
definitely have the clarity I've been
kind of looking for to be honest
and I just don't the we have a future
I just think it's best for both of us if
I say goodbye tonight
thank you for you know talking to me and
and having this conversation with me and
you mind if I walk you out
know that let's go I never expected to
abruptly some someone home on my second
group date in the first week at one
point there was definitely is something
there between Liz and I and you know who
knows what would happen but that time
has passed and I wish her the best and I
hope she finds what she's looking for
take care bye
[Music]
I feel bad about sending his home but I
know it was the right choice and now I
have to do the hardest thing of all I
have to tell the women everything
I don't necessary gret anything with Liz
but I'm just afraid that these women are
going to think I've been lying to them I
can't help but be totally terrified that
this is all gonna blow up in my face
Ivan I need my biggest fear is when the
women find out that at least some of the
women will decide to leave and say screw
it and that this journey might be over
before we even get started
if you haven't noticed liz is not here I
actually just said myself oh my god
wait a minute I thought you guys were
just having like a super deep long
conversation were so here's I'm just
gonna level with you guys
I actually had met Liz prior to me being
The Bachelor I'm just gonna be upfront
with you about how I know her
so I met met Liz at a wedding I met her
at Jane and Tanner's wedding and Liz and
I had sex
I'm not here to play around and very
serious about all of this and especially
going into the rose ceremony tonight I
am willing to question him and I'm
willing to put our relationship at a
point where he can understand how
serious I am
are you ladies doing y'all look
beautiful you can sit down sit down
get comfortable um I think you all know
at this point obviously
no that was isn't here and I don't know
what's out there in the house I'm just
gonna be totally transparent with all of
you when Liz got a limo I was pretty
caught off guard and a bit surprised
we met at our mutual friends Jade and
Tanner's wedding and as far as what
happened when I met Liz we went into
wedding stuff happened and I just gonna
put it out there because I know some
people know we had sex but here's the
thing at the time I had suggested her
that you know we keep in touch and maybe
exchanged numbers at the time she had
said that she just wasn't in the right
place to do that
and she want to just kind of leave that
night to be that night which I totally
respected and we said her goodbyes and
you know I hadn't seen or spoken with
her or heard from her since but I think
after we talked more I ultimately
realized well Liz is finally ready to
find love I feel like I've started made
some you know really great connections
and I'm so optimistic about that I
wanted to focus on what's here and and
say goodbye to that so that being said I
encourage you all to if you have a
question please ask me I'm an open book
I'm very anxious and a little bit
nervous because I'm so optimistic about
the possibility of there being someone
in this room that I've
looking for my whole life
[Music]
