- Do you choose love or money?
- Oh my goodness graciousness.
(anxious electronic music)
I choose...
(upbeat ensemble guitar music)
- Finding love especially
during this time can be pretty tough.
Not knowing someone's intentions is pretty scary, right?
So for today's episode,
we asked Taylor to choose between love.
- Aww. - Or money.
(register clinks)
What do you think she'll choose?
Let's find out.
(anxious electronic chimes)
Welcome everybody and hello to bachelorette number one.
How you feeling, you feeling excited?
You feeling nervous>
- I was very fine before I started seeing all the faces
and now my heart is like (thuds) pounding.
- I want to get to know you a little bit, right?
And I'm sure all these guys want to get to know you too.
- Yeah, so I model part-time and then I'm also in grad
school for psychology because I want to be a therapist.
- What's a way to your heart?
- I'm really emotional.
So somebody who just has a lot of like emotional
intelligence or is emotionally in tune,
that's really attractive for me.
(relaxed electronic music)
- Fellas, here's your chance to stand out.
I'm gonna have you guys introduce yourselves.
Give us something interesting that'll make you stand out.
Give us your elevator pitch.
(electronic chiming) (upbeat guitar music)
- I like to do dance, I'm into parkour,
trying new things, traveling to new places.
- I once bought a pig off of Craigslist
and I lost it in my dorm room.
- I'm in radio and I don't own a pig.
- If you want to go to a music festival, I'm all game.
If you want to re-watch "Harry Potter" again,
I'm also all game.
- I'm in a mariachi group.
I could serenade you at your house.
I like "Shrek" a lot.
- I'm from England and my fun fact
is that I died in the past.
I died in the past.
If you need someone to take your breath away, I'm your man.
(contestants laughing)
- I'm a personal trainer.
So if you ever want to get a workout in, we could do that.
- I'm living my lifelong dream as a meteorologist.
So if you ever need to know when there's a 30%
chance it's already raining, I'm your man.
- I'm into photography and modeling as well.
So hopefully we can get a shoot together.
- I love skateboarding.
I love doing film photography as well.
I enjoy dancing and going to the club.
- I really like photography,
so I can definitely picture us together.
- I am French, I'm a photographer.
A real one for the real camera.
- I happen to love therapists and models.
So I'm the perfect guy for you.
I'm also a Scorpio, you mentioned you were emotional.
Scorpio is a Water Sign and we're known to be emotional.
- I'm a big plant-based cook.
Chilled, laid-back guy and family-oriented.
- I can ride most vehicles
that either have wheels or a slide.
So I'm gonna slide into your DMs after this.
- I hope a college degree isn't a requirement for you
because I actually dropped out of college.
Don't eliminate me.
- I'm pretty cringy, I don't know if you can tell already.
I'm a SoundCloud artist or whatever.
- I like to go camping, I'm into photography.
- Yoga instructor and an actor.
Stand-up, hiking, I cook a lot.
- I'm actually gonna ask you
if you could close your eyes real quick?
And you can open them and well here I am,
I'm the sign that you were looking for.
(contestants laughing)
- That was really good, that was really good.
(relaxed electronic music)
- Up until now, it was all fun and games.
It was all laughter.
However, I am gonna put the responsibility on you
of eliminating down to 10 people.
Right off the bat, half of them have to go home.
- Oh my gosh, this is so mean.
Okay. - Love is tough.
- I'm just gonna list them.
I don't even want to say why
'cause I'm so scared but know that I love you.
Okay, number five, number seven, number eight,
number 10, number 20, oh my gosh.
Where am I at? I don't know where I'm at.
Oh my god, don't even look at me.
- You have five, five more, five more.
- Number 19, number 15, three.
Number one, oh gosh.
Number six.
- Congrats to the 10 that made it.
Give yourself a pat on the back, give yourself a hand.
(Taylor laughs)
- Oh my gosh, sorry, my laugh is not cute.
- That's the goal, y'all.
If you can make her ugly cackle,
you know she likes you, okay?
(relaxed electronic music)
So bachelorette number one,
I'm gonna offer you a proposition.
I have with me $200 right now.
If you choose to take this $200,
you can go home, call it a day and relax.
Buy yourself a nice meal or you can continue on
to the next round with these 10 lovely gentlemen.
So bachelorette number one, do you choose love or money?
- I'm choosing love. - Wow.
No hesitation, right off the bat.
All righty y'all, we are moving on to stage number two.
(relaxed electronic music)
Stage number two is the special skills slash talent portion.
So bachelorette number one, what's an interesting fact
or like a special skill that you have?
- I like to lift.
The most I've ever squatted is 300 pounds.
(number 12 claps)
- Oh my gosh.
- I'm ready to get some lifts in with her.
- Okay, okay.
Number 12 is like "Yo, watch out fellas.
(Taylor laughs) Watch out."
I'm gonna give each of you 30 seconds to showcase a talent.
(dramatic drumbeat)
(anxious chiming tones)
- I decided I would just do a self-portrait.
(upbeat guitar music)
- Yo. - I don't know.
It just took me three days.
- All right, you've mentioned that you love lifting.
So that's why I got my lifting belt with me.
Ready?
(tepid chiming music) - Oh my gosh.
That's so cool.
(Taylor claps) - Let's go.
- I do have like a YouTube channel and stuff
like that where I cook and share.
(classical violin, guitar music)
- That cinnamon bun was a little too sensual.
(number 13 and Taylor laughing)
It made me unbutton one button.
- I like to cook and I made
this grilled cheese like an hour ago.
So it's kind of flimsy but I'm gonna pull it
just to see if the cheese comes out.
Okay, so no, that's kind of awkward.
(contestants laughing)
- That was so sad.
- Which one of you guys was the personal trainer?
I'm calling them out.
- I'm the personal trainer.
What you got? Show me.
- I'm gonna complete more pushups
than the personal trainer guy.
- I love how competitive guys get.
"Oh, you do pushups?
Well, I do pushups."
Go.
(hard rock music)
Two, three, four, five.
(number 12 claps) Six, seven, eight,
nine, 10.
- Oh my gosh, this is so intense.
- 15, 16. - Go, go, go, go.
(number two laughs)
- Time, we'll give you 43 for the benefit of the doubt.
Impressive, 18, with the hoodie on too.
Number 12, are you off for the pushup challenge?
- I'm gonna do something a little better.
So I have a 100 pound dumbbell right now.
I could curl it.
(mid tempo electronic music)
I could lift it.
- You just curled 100 pounds.
- That's light, I do that all the time.
(relaxed guitar music)
(violin screeches)
(screeching violin music)
- While number nine was good with his fingers,
I can do something with my tongue.
- [Joon] Go ahead, go ahead.
(Joon laughs)
- Also, 18 did pushups.
Great.
(hard rock music)
- Okay, all right Bruce Lee.
Ooh.
Ooh, he clapped behind the back, all right.
- You guys are very talented.
Well personally, I don't have a special talent.
I really don't.
The only thing special is the way I would treat you.
(contestants laughing)
- You just seem to have lines in your pocket.
So hit bachelorette number one
with one of your finest lines.
- I don't know what you would do here,
I don't know what you're doing here,
oh, how does it go?
I forgot how it goes.
Okay, I got it, I got it, I got it.
What you're doing here, okay,
I don't understand what you're doing here.
Who's guarding heaven?
(relaxed electronic music)
- All right, so bachelorette number one.
Instead of eliminating, I want you to pick your top five.
- Goodness gracious.
I'd probably have to say contestant number 18.
(electronic chime)
Something about his demeanor is just like
"I'm just comfortable with who I am."
Contestant number 11.
(electronic chime) - Let's go.
- Because I really like his charisma.
Contestant number four. (electronic chime)
It was all the claps and stuff, I was like oh snap.
Contestant number 13. (electronic chime)
I like the fact that he can cook.
- Final contestant that moves on.
Who is it gonna be?
(hands thudding)
- 12. (electronic chime)
I like the fact that he's a trainer.
- Well thank you guys, best of luck out there.
(warbling electronic tones)
All right, so congratulations to the five of you.
Let's give it up.
(relaxed electronic music)
Bachelorette number one.
Let's chat.
I know I offered you like $200.
I felt like that wasn't enough, right?
And these guys seem pretty great
but you know what also sounds great?
300.
I mean, it does sound kinda nice.
You can take this 300, call it a day,
go have some fun or we can continue on
to the next stage with these five gentlemen.
So,
do you choose love or money?
(anxious guitar music) (anxious electronic chimes)
- I think I'm gonna have to choose love again.
- Wow.
Some of y'all are like sitting there
like "I would've taken the money, shoot."
(number 11 laughs) - I know.
- I don't know what you see in these guys.
(relaxed electronic music)
All five of you will have a chance to do an activity
that bachelorette number one enjoys to her picking.
- Like I said, I'm really emotional.
I want to see how passionate you guys can get.
So I want you to reenact like a scene
if somebody were to like shoot you or like stab you
and I want you to like reenact yourself dying.
- That is so original.
How would you die if you were the star of your own movie?
(dramatic drumbeat) (anxious electronic chimes)
- Ugh.
Why?
(number four sighs)
- "Don't you see?
I'm Thanos, I have all six Infinity Stones.
"Yeah, you think so but I'm Iron Man."
And then the Gauntlet builds up.
"Tell the kids I love them.
I'll see you on the other side."
(dramatic electronic tones)
(electronic chime) - I promise,
I'll have the rest of your money soon.
Just put the gun down.
Here, I have a part of it now.
- You know what?
I'll give you a scene, is that okay?
Let's say you just ate a poisonous steak.
- I like the flav, (coughs).
Oh my,
I'm sorry it had to be this way.
- Can she shoot a gun real quick?
- Wait, boom.
(somber chanting)
- I thought you loved me.
And then you cheated on me with my brother?
My own brother?
I'll always love you forever.
Forever and ever.
(contestant 12 coughs)
- That was a long death. (Taylor laughs)
For someone that just got shot into heart,
you had a monologue ready.
(relaxed electronic music)
Bachelorette number one, we have to eliminate three people.
- My heart is literally pounding.
Okay, I can do this.
The first person I'm going to eliminate
is 13.
Oh my gosh, okay, contestant number 12.
He said that I cheated on him with his brother.
- With my own brother?
- The acting got to you. - It was too real.
- It was too real. - I can't do that.
18. (electronic warble)
- Contestant number four and number 11, give it up.
Congrats, guys.
(relaxed electronic music)
Bachelorette number one.
- Yes?
- I gotta offer you some more money clearly, right?
For all the effort and time
that you've been putting in, $500.
Even number 11's like, "Oh shoot.
You might want to take that girl, I don't know."
I think he would understand.
Number four, not so much. - Oh my gosh.
- Come on guys, she's emotional.
You guys gotta simp for her.
You guys gotta be like "No,
I'm worth way more than the 500, baby girl."
You either take this 500, go travel somewhere
if it's safe or you move on and you pick a lucky guy.
So bachelorette number one, do you choose love or money?
- Oh my goodness graciousness.
(anxious electronic music)
I choose...
My integrity keeps telling me love.
- Love, wow.
- Yeah.
- Damn, that's getting me emotional.
- I'm an emotional person, I mean that.
- You really are, you really are.
I love that, okay, okay.
- I love love.
(relaxed electronic music)
- So each of you guys will have a one-on-one time to talk
to our lovely bachelorette and get to know each other
on a more personal and deeper basis.
(relaxed guitar music) (anxious electronic chiming)
- Hey, how's a going? - It's going.
- Hi, isn't this weird?
- I know, this is so weird, I'm so nervous.
- First and foremost, I'm super excited.
You're drop-dead gorgeous.
I love your whole go-to, your look.
- Thank you.
- I didn't think I would make it
this far but thanks for keeping me.
- Thanks for staying I guess.
- Yeah, so a little bit about myself.
I'm Chinese, I'm from China.
I went to Brazil when I was five years old.
I came to the US when I was 17.
I speak Portuguese, English and Mandarin.
- Where are you?
- I'm in Chino, California.
- Oh (sputters).
- Where are you?
- That's like 40 minutes away from where I'm at.
- Tell me a little bit about yourself.
- Right now, I'm doing the whole
Zoom university situation because of the pandemic.
I like to sing, I'm passionate about modeling.
I am religious.
I don't know if you're religious, are you religious at all?
- I'm not, what kind of religion?
- I'm Christian and then I also consider myself spiritual.
- I was raised Catholic.
I'm actually from TJ, Mexico.
It was just kinda something
that my parents raised me up as.
I was able to venture out for myself
and see what kind of stuff is out there
and I started going to a Christian Church.
So now religion has become a huge part of my life, you know?
- Oh, that's beautiful.
No, I'm Christian.
- Oh you are, look at that.
- I would identify also as spiritual because
I believe in like crystals and like meditation and all that.
- That's something that I've kind of been
trying to like venture out and learn more about
'cause sometimes just the stress of the world is just oof.
- I mean, I'm happy to teach you.
I'm learning too, so don't think that I know everything.
- For sure, yeah, for sure.
(relaxed electronic music)
- You went from 20 guys and you narrowed it down to two.
- Goodness graciousness.
I'm a sucker for a smile
and they both have beautiful smiles.
- Oh, they do.
So bachelorette number one. - Yes?
- This is the moment where you have to choose.
- Oh my gosh.
Okay.
Religion is something that's super important to me.
So I'm gonna have to eliminate contestant number four.
- It's all good, thank you so much.
(electronic warble)
(electronic chime) - Number 11.
Won't you look at that?
- I can't believe, this is what dreams are made of.
- I'm so done, I love it, he's so funny.
- Congrats to you two.
If only that were the end, right?
If only. - There's more to this?
- You know me, of course, come on guys.
(relaxed electronic music)
I'm gonna talk to each of you individually
and I'm gonna offer a proposition.
Just to make things a little more complicated,
I'm gonna give you more choices.
So I'm gonna present you with three options.
So you can either choose love or money.
If both of you choose love, then you get to split the 500,
get 250 each and go on a second date.
- Aww. - It's a win-win.
- Aww, okay.
- However if one of you chooses love
but one of you chooses money,
the person that chooses money cashes out all 500
and the other person goes home broken-hearted.
- Damn. - Oh my god.
- But if both of you guys get greedy and try
to choose money, you guys both go home with nothing.
So choose carefully. - Oh wow, okay.
- Option three sounds like complete dookie.
I don't know, man.
- You chose love every single round
but go with what you think is best, love or money.
Is this guy worth the love?
- Honestly for me I just-
- She chose money, huh?
- Hey, we're about to find out.
(electronic chime)
Hi guys.
- Hi. - Hello.
- What was this?
That was the most nervous "hi"
I've heard from both of y'all.
All right, everyone good?
Okay. - Okay, okay.
- All right, loud and clear.
Three,
two,
one.
(anxious electronic chimes)
- [Taylor and Number 11] Love.
- Legit. - Ah!
- It was easy, too easy of a question to ask.
- Oh my gosh.
- I had the feeling, I felt the connection.
I was like it's a no-brainer, man.
Love is the way to go.
Love heals all things. - Love wins all.
There you go. - That's it.
It was the only reasonable choice, period.
- Drops mic, boom.
Oh my gosh, literally my cheeks hurt from smiling.
- I was like man, they're gonna offer me like $1000.
- If I did, would that have changed your answer?
- Hell no, you could have said a million dollars.
- A million?
Okay, all right.
All right guys, well I've done my job.
That's it for me.
I'm gonna leave you two lovebirds and thank you
bachelorette for choosing love at the end of the day.
- Over the moon with the outcome.
I was very interested in her.
I was hoping she picked me from the start.
I wooed her with my juggling skills.
I think it's what wooed her over.
- Even if he would've chose money,
I think I would've still been happy with my decision.
I just think love is a beautiful thing
and I know I sound super cliche and super cheesy
but keep trying, keep your heart open
and know that literally love wins all.
(upbeat ensemble trumpet music)
