00:00 Hello, everybody.
00:01 Welcome back to my channel.
00:02 My name is Queenie.
00:03 For those who don't know me,
00:04 you guys have been begging and pleading
00:06 for me to hurry up and get to episode four.
00:09 We're here and we have a lot to talk about.
00:12 Before I get into it,
00:13 please make sure to like this video,
00:15 subscribe and hit the bell,
00:16 and leave a comment down below.
00:18 Jumping straight in,
00:20 we get a little "throws these backseas," okay?
00:25 Of the first time, "Ucce's in the Pods" with Lydia.
00:28 And it basically happened exactly how he said
00:32 that it happened.
00:32 - Who are you?
00:33 - You do not recognize my voice.
00:35 - I do not recognize your voice.
00:37 - I love Kobe.
00:39 - Lydia?
00:42 I don't know if it's a sign or if it's-
00:44 - Right, is this a sign?
00:45 - It ruins the-
00:47 - The experience in the moment?
00:48 - The experiment.
00:49 Didn't think that we were that compatible,
00:52 so I ended things.
00:54 (crying)
00:57 (laughing)
00:59 I'm not gonna lie to you guys.
01:01 I'm here for Aaliyah, I'm team Aaliyah.
01:03 Yes, girl.
01:04 However, whenever she cries,
01:07 I just don't believe it all the way.
01:11 I just don't believe it all the way.
01:12 It's not that I think that she's faking it,
01:14 but maybe leaning in a little bit,
01:18 maybe leaning in.
01:20 Or it could be the fact that, you know,
01:21 love is blind is a very intense process,
01:23 as we know, ask Nick, okay?
01:26 It's very intense, very emotionally taxing.
01:29 Everybody has been, damn, Uche was freaking crying.
01:32 And it's alarming how easily these two both cry.
01:37 It's alarming to me.
01:38 It might not be alarming to you.
01:39 But anyways, obviously, Aaliyah's in her feelings,
01:43 as she should be.
01:44 I would be in my feelings too,
01:45 if I found out that basically my sister is your ex.
01:49 That's insane.
01:51 So, what's perplexing to me is all the while,
01:55 why Lydia chose not to say something,
01:59 especially because she knows more of the story.
02:02 I don't know if Uche was aware
02:04 that Lydia is Aaliyah's close friend,
02:08 but Lydia knew the whole situation.
02:11 So, why she kept it from Aaliyah, I don't know.
02:14 In the previous video, I was wondering if Uche
02:18 was kind of sabotaging Milton's situation.
02:24 And in this episode, he basically confirms
02:27 that he doesn't think that Milton is ready for marriage,
02:32 more so marriage to Lydia,
02:35 especially because Lydia just wants to be married.
02:38 Uche says that he didn't love Lydia.
02:40 However, he loves Aaliyah,
02:44 but Aaliyah loves Uche and loves Lydia.
02:47 Child, it's a mess.
02:49 It's a mess.
02:50 From what I'm gathering, at this point of the episode,
02:53 he did fess up.
02:54 It's a little fishy why he didn't wanna talk up earlier,
02:56 but it is what it is.
02:58 I would have been okay if she had pursued it
03:02 if the conversation ended right here.
03:05 Izzy is now ready to let Stacey know
03:07 that she is his first and only option.
03:12 - I just want you to know
03:13 that I will always be patient with you.
03:16 I promise that I will fight for us.
03:20 I feel like this is home
03:22 and I feel like this is where I belong.
03:25 Will you marry me?
03:28 - The corniest, craziest, what the fuck.
03:32 Yay!
03:33 - Lucky I'm not.
03:34 - The love is blind proposing process is just so funny to me
03:39 because in real life,
03:41 when a guy's doing his whole spiel or whatever,
03:44 immediately after he says, "Will you marry me?"
03:46 the girl just says yes,
03:48 or whoever is answering the question says yes.
03:51 In love is blind,
03:52 they gotta give this whole soliloquy
03:55 of why they love the other person
03:57 and da, da, da, da, da, da, whatever,
03:58 and then they say yes.
04:00 Pause right there though
04:01 because Stacey still has yet to say that she loves Izzy.
04:05 She said that he is the one.
04:08 She's told other people she believes that he's the one,
04:11 but the words, "I love you," I have yet to hear them.
04:15 Johnny is still struggling with the reality
04:17 that Izzy did not choose her.
04:20 Oh my God.
04:21 - Are you so happy?
04:22 - I am.
04:23 - Yay!
04:24 - Happy for you.
04:26 Wish y'all the best.
04:29 Just processing the pain.
04:30 Izzy told me he had a bad credit score.
04:35 He just signed a lease somewhere else.
04:37 He's not ready to be actually vulnerable,
04:40 so, and I was.
04:42 - Girl, bye.
04:43 Girl, bye.
04:45 Now all of a sudden,
04:46 the fact that the man does not want you,
04:48 he's got all of these red flags
04:50 that you're so glad you didn't get attached to,
04:53 now he's not ready for commitment.
04:54 He has a bad credit score,
04:55 and he's emotionally unavailable,
04:57 and he is ABC and D and E and F and G,
04:59 but two days ago,
05:00 you were willing to lay it all on the line for this man.
05:04 So what's really your deal?
05:06 Like this girl is so unhinged,
05:09 and the crazy thing about Johnny
05:12 is that if she just doesn't talk a lot,
05:14 you would think that she's a catch
05:16 because in the first episode,
05:17 I was like, what's wrong with this girl?
05:19 I don't see the issue.
05:20 And now she just keeps on talking.
05:22 I'm like, oh, I got it.
05:25 Girl, please leave Chris alone.
05:27 Leave Chris alone.
05:29 Now for whatever reason,
05:30 Chris, he is still entertaining the possibility
05:35 of pursuing a relationship with Johnny.
05:38 - My heart and my gut really want to,
05:41 and I've always just felt such a connection with you.
05:45 I care about you more than anything,
05:46 and I do see a future with you.
05:50 I came here to find my wife.
05:54 I really need to be selfish today
05:59 and choose someone who always chooses me.
06:03 - If Izzy did not shut things off with Johnny,
06:08 Johnny wouldn't be here right now.
06:09 Furthermore, if you did not break down and cry
06:13 and have that event be relayed back to Johnny,
06:18 she wouldn't be here right now.
06:20 Just the myriad of the fact that
06:24 he had to be broken up with, cry,
06:28 she still wasn't feeling the way
06:29 after she heard that she cried.
06:30 It was then when she was rejected by Izzy,
06:34 then tied in the crying,
06:35 and then was like, you know what?
06:37 Yeah, I think I would have a little bit more mercy for her
06:39 if after hearing how emotionally he got about it
06:43 and still having an opportunity with Izzy,
06:45 she regretted her decision.
06:47 But it's only after she was sacked
06:49 that she started to feel a different way.
06:50 Girl, bye.
06:51 Girl, bye.
06:52 It's now time for Aaliyah to let Lydia know
06:57 that she knows about Uche,
06:59 and Lydia's like, you know.
07:01 You know.
07:03 Oh my gosh.
07:04 - I love you so much.
07:06 I love you so much.
07:08 I was scared 'cause I didn't even know
07:11 how you were gonna react and like.
07:13 - Yeah.
07:14 - We both are like sensitive yet strong.
07:16 We're both emotional.
07:17 - Very giving people.
07:18 - We're both gifted.
07:19 - He just needed to learn a few lessons.
07:20 Maybe prove to him that he needs to be a little more open.
07:25 This is the universe giving me a second chance
07:27 to have an amazing, great-ass woman.
07:30 - I was looking at my screen like little Terrio
07:32 wondering what the hell is going on?
07:36 What is going on?
07:37 I don't understand.
07:39 - Interestingly enough, she relays the story in the pods
07:44 almost exactly how we saw it go down.
07:47 The only thing that she changed was the fact that
07:51 he was open to the idea of giving it a second shot.
07:55 It didn't sound to us like he was.
07:58 So that's where she added a little spice,
08:00 a little paprika, okay?
08:02 Then the conversation starts to take a turn
08:05 because this woman is now listing all the things
08:09 that she knows about him,
08:10 all the reasons why he's a good person,
08:12 and the fact that they actually still had a relationship
08:15 as recently as three months ago.
08:18 - He has a great, you're gonna love Kobe.
08:20 - I know, I had a dog named Kobe.
08:22 I wanna still be surprised.
08:24 - Let me tell you this.
08:25 He is OCD.
08:26 Oh, his house is dope.
08:28 It's like a three level house.
08:30 - And he told you he drives a Tesla?
08:32 - No.
08:33 By the way, I wanna be honest with you.
08:34 Last time we saw each other was back in January.
08:37 You had sex three months ago,
08:40 and I'm supposed to feel like that's no big deal.
08:42 - So Aliyah, you were calling this girl your sister.
08:46 She was not acting like a sister.
08:48 She was not.
08:48 If anybody's watching the love experiment,
08:50 in the last episode,
08:52 one of the girls was holding a secret from the other girl,
08:56 and she was upset 'cause she's like,
08:57 "Yo, you're my girl.
08:57 "Like, why aren't you being forthright with me?"
08:59 That's how I feel about Lydia.
09:02 Why weren't you forthright with this information?
09:03 It does not make sense to me.
09:04 There's more incentive for Uche to keep that information
09:07 because he doesn't wanna tank his chances with Aliyah,
09:11 but Lydia loses nothing.
09:14 Literally, Lydia loses nothing by saying
09:17 that she doesn't gain anything.
09:19 Actually, she might have gained a leg up, honestly.
09:22 But yeah, I don't understand.
09:25 This girl is not your sister.
09:26 She is not your friend.
09:27 The way that she was just so eager to pile everything on,
09:31 and how she's in good with the friends,
09:34 and the dog loves her,
09:35 they were sexually active three months ago,
09:38 and now, according to her,
09:40 she is the one who had to shut things down.
09:43 Is anybody else confused by the timeline?
09:47 Because she said that they met in 2020,
09:50 but as recently as three months ago, things were done.
09:53 However, the man said they only dated for three months,
09:58 and he decided that they were incompatible.
10:02 Aliyah then has another conversation with Uche,
10:05 and lets him know that he left out
10:06 a hell of a lot of information.
10:09 - 'Cause you were actually considering rebuilding with her.
10:12 - No, I don't have any feelings for Lydia.
10:15 - I'm over here sitting with your ex
10:17 that you fucked three months ago.
10:19 She's telling me things
10:22 that I didn't wanna know from her.
10:23 - Yeah, I know that sucks.
10:26 It fucking sucks, okay?
10:27 - But I'm fucking in a cage with her.
10:31 I would never befriend your ex.
10:34 And you don't think this is hard for me?
10:36 - Uche completely lost me, if he didn't lose me before,
10:41 when he tried to flip it on Aliyah.
10:44 Well, I'm going through it too.
10:45 Shut up.
10:46 Actually, shut up.
10:49 Because you had however many days to process
10:50 that your ex was in here,
10:51 and it seemed like you were totally fine with it.
10:54 At some point, you processed it, you moved on.
10:56 I'm just hearing about it.
10:59 And to add insult to injury,
11:00 she is my closest girlfriend in this process.
11:04 I need time to process this.
11:05 I gave you time to process the whole cheating thing.
11:07 You need to give me time to process the fact
11:09 that I'm here with your ex.
11:10 And I know a lot of people are saying,
11:12 are probably thinking, in the real world,
11:15 you really don't know a lot about the person's ex,
11:19 so why does she care to know?
11:20 I'm looking this girl in the face every day.
11:23 In normal circumstances,
11:25 yeah, I wouldn't really care for the nitty gritty details
11:27 of what you and your ex were up to.
11:29 I would like to know what was the reason for the dissolution
11:32 and have you learned from it.
11:33 However, in this case,
11:34 not only do I see the girl on a daily basis,
11:37 she is my closest friend.
11:39 I need to know what's good.
11:41 I need to know what's good.
11:42 This man is avoiding, avoiding, avoiding, avoiding, avoiding.
11:44 She literally is asking direct questions.
11:47 Lydia said this, is this true?
11:50 Well, I'm going through so much.
11:52 Shut up, Uche.
11:53 Shut up for real.
11:55 Now that things are all out in the open,
11:57 Lydia is able to let Milton know
11:59 that she knows Uche from the past.
12:01 However, again, she's added a little bit of
12:04 a double to the story.
12:06 - I stopped things.
12:07 Like I told him, like, we need to move on.
12:10 Fucking forever.
12:11 This year, I don't have any feelings to be on result.
12:15 You're quiet.
12:17 - Um, I mean, I just, I didn't, I didn't expect that.
12:21 Sorry, I'm listening.
12:24 - Milton.
12:25 - Yeah.
12:26 - It doesn't matter.
12:27 Lydia, Lydia.
12:29 Stop, Lydia, stop.
12:31 Let him have a moment.
12:33 Pull it together.
12:35 You need to go in there and he's gonna have questions.
12:37 Yes?
12:38 You should be able to explain it, right?
12:39 - I know.
12:40 - Okay.
12:41 Understandably so, Milton needs some time to process.
12:44 Literally, the victims in this story are Milton and Aaliyah.
12:47 These two have just been hit with a curve ball
12:51 nobody expected.
12:52 So yeah, they need some time.
12:54 I'm not gonna lie.
12:55 I'm a little bit surprised that this hasn't happened before
12:58 because even in me being in Edmonton,
13:02 the amount of times I run into people
13:04 I really don't wanna run into.
13:07 So, I wouldn't be surprised if people had either
13:10 a cross pass before or maybe had matched on a dating site
13:14 before something, you know what I mean?
13:16 But anyways, neither here nor there.
13:18 Lydia's having a little breakdown and kudos to Stacey.
13:21 Honestly, Stacey was the voice of reason.
13:25 Truly the voice of reason in this scenario.
13:29 I was wondering to myself,
13:30 where was this side of Stacey in the pods?
13:33 I know that she prioritizes having fun
13:35 and enjoying life with your partner,
13:37 but seeing this introspective, insightful,
13:41 well, it's not really introspective
13:42 'cause it wasn't about her,
13:43 but she has the capabilities to be introspective.
13:46 She is insightful.
13:48 Where was this in the pods?
13:50 I would've liked to see it.
13:51 Milton now returns to the pods
13:53 and he's cooled down a little bit.
13:56 Lydia has cooled down as well.
13:57 And he basically lets her know
13:59 the information that I learned,
14:02 it's a lot, but it's okay.
14:04 - Don't apologize.
14:05 You have a human reaction, right?
14:08 It was just valid, you know?
14:09 Three months ago, I decided to just move on
14:13 and I decided to just not think about him.
14:16 My heart, my soul, my being wants you.
14:21 We all have our past and it could happen to anybody.
14:26 - It's just different when you know the person.
14:28 - If you have doubts, ask Uche.
14:30 - That's a great thing to say.
14:33 - Too soon?
14:35 - It is so interesting to me how Lydia
14:38 will have these outbursts and then she'll talk to somebody
14:41 and then they'll ground her and then she's good to go.
14:44 I wonder back home, does she have these resources
14:47 that can bring her back down from whatever high she's on?
14:51 And if not, does she have a therapist?
14:55 And if not, all of that is gonna fall on Milton.
14:59 I wonder if Milton, actually even Milton wonders.
15:05 Milton was like, "I came into this process
15:07 thinking that I was ready, but as it's going on,
15:09 I'm realizing that maybe there's a lot of things
15:11 with myself that I need to further investigate."
15:15 And I was saying in a previous video
15:16 that to deal with Lydia,
15:18 you need to have a high emotional quotient.
15:20 And Milton's starting to realize
15:22 that maybe he just doesn't have it.
15:25 I really, really, really hope for this relationship's sake,
15:28 she has some grounding forces back at home
15:31 because to put that all on Milton, that's exhausting.
15:36 Side note, I wrote this in my notes yesterday.
15:40 However, I didn't know if I was reaching,
15:43 even though I do love to reach.
15:44 I didn't know if I was reading into the situation
15:46 so I decided not to comment on it,
15:47 but this episode I saw it again,
15:49 so I felt like I had to say it.
15:50 Lydia makes jokes at inopportune moments.
15:54 So in the previous episode, she was talking about,
15:59 no, he was talking about his condition
16:04 and how it is tied to him being a tall person
16:08 and tall people tend to have a shorter lifespan
16:11 or something like that.
16:12 And she was like, "Are you trying to tell me
16:13 that you're tall?"
16:14 I'm like, "Girl, this guy's talking about his mortality
16:16 and you're making a joke."
16:17 Then in this episode, she was like,
16:20 "Oh, if you wanna learn more about me,
16:21 you can ask Uche again."
16:24 Wrong timing.
16:25 I personally would look out for this if I was Milton.
16:28 It seemed like he was okay with it.
16:30 He said that he kinda does the same thing,
16:32 but yeah, I'm like, the deflecting with humor
16:36 might be an issue in the future.
16:38 It is now time for Izzy and Stacey to meet in person
16:41 and thank God this interaction was very organic.
16:45 (soft music)
16:48 (laughing)
16:50 - God, you're beautiful.
16:52 - Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
16:57 - All right. - Oh my God.
17:00 - My hand's shaking.
17:02 - Did you grow your tongue?
17:03 - Your hand's shaking worse than mine.
17:05 - It feels good.
17:07 - I know.
17:07 I'm excited.
17:08 - After that forced, awkward, oof,
17:16 meeting of Taylor and JP, I needed something organic.
17:19 Now, is this the couple that I wanna root for?
17:21 No, but so far they seem to be the ones
17:24 with the most potential.
17:25 This couple seems to have the most potential,
17:28 so I guess I just gotta root for them.
17:31 I do.
17:32 It is really good for Izzy
17:34 that he does find the girl attractive.
17:37 I wonder if he would have found his other two options
17:40 as attractive in the same sense that he sees Stacey.
17:44 I think he sees Stacey as a girl next door,
17:47 while the other women, they are attractive women,
17:49 but I don't think that he would put them in the same box
17:51 that he would put Stacey in.
17:54 At this point, I had written down,
17:56 I'm glad that he is attracted to her,
17:57 because if anybody out of the guys
18:00 would have a wandering eye, it would be Izzy.
18:02 Then the trailer came, and it just confirmed
18:06 what I was already worried in my mind,
18:07 so yeah, we're just gonna leave that for now.
18:11 I immediately knew with Milton and, what's her face now?
18:16 Lydia, that he was about to propose,
18:18 because they dress up when it's proposal day.
18:21 They know what's going to happen.
18:23 However, this was a really long proposal.
18:27 - I probably can't be at my friend's house
18:30 at four in the morning playing the Wii.
18:32 (laughing)
18:33 You don't think my age is gonna affect us at all?
18:37 - Age is just a number.
18:39 - What if all of a sudden my job was like Milton,
18:42 like you have to move to Argentina, and you'll be working.
18:46 - And I'll say, "Let's do it."
18:47 - Like, this is it.
18:48 - This is it, there's no going back, this is it.
18:52 - I'm on one knee.
18:53 - Oh my God.
18:54 I'm standing up.
18:56 - You're standing up?
18:57 - Yeah.
18:58 - You're gonna be my Puerto Rican wife?
18:59 (laughing)
19:01 - Yes, I will be your Puerto Rican wife.
19:03 A few things, yes, it was really long.
19:06 Also, Lydia now said, "Oh, age is nothing but a number,
19:11 "but girl, that number threw you off
19:15 "the first time you met, like you put him
19:17 "on the back burner because of his age."
19:19 So it's a little bit more than just a number to you.
19:21 And then as he's doing this proposal,
19:24 he's asking her all of these questions
19:27 to gain reassurance from her, and it felt to me
19:30 as if he was trying to convince himself
19:32 that this is what he needed to do.
19:34 I think that a lot of alarm bells are ringing
19:37 for Milton, not just in Lydia, but in himself.
19:41 Maybe realizing that, "Eh, I might've jumped the gun
19:43 "when it comes to this whole thing,
19:45 "but I'm in too deep, so I just gotta go for it.
19:47 "Hopefully she can give me some reassurance
19:48 "to make me feel like I'm not making a mistake."
19:51 She did have an answer for everything,
19:52 except most of her answers were basically like,
19:55 "Just do it, just do it, just do it.
19:57 "Stop worrying too much, don't think about it too much.
20:00 "If you overthink it, you're not gonna go forward with it."
20:03 Yeah, it's definitely giving mistake, but it is what it is.
20:07 Last but not least, we have Mr. Morality.
20:11 And Mr. Morality is in the pods,
20:14 ready to propose to Miss Aliyah.
20:17 Aliyah was nowhere to be found.
20:20 - Hello?
20:21 - Unfortunately, Aliyah's decided
20:28 to not continue with the experiment.
20:29 - She's gone.
20:33 - Yes, Aliyah, Team Aliyah, girl.
20:36 Team Aliyah, I'm here for you, babe.
20:38 What other word can I use?
20:43 That man gotta go.
20:45 That man gotta go.
20:46 The way that he is, oh no, he just, mm-mm.
20:52 I think he had potential from the first episode,
20:54 but ever since then, he's just been digging and digging
20:57 and digging a hole for me that he cannot jump out of
21:01 if you ask me.
21:04 He is a little bit too particular,
21:06 and he wanted her to process things in his time,
21:10 and I don't think that's fair to your partner.
21:12 He almost wants to sun her a lot of the time.
21:14 I don't think that's fair to your partner.
21:17 He, yeah, no, there's just too, he was admitting so much.
21:22 Like, did he ever admit to the fact
21:24 that they slept together three months ago, him and Lydia?
21:26 Did he ever admit to that?
21:27 I don't remember.
21:28 You guys let me know if he admitted to that.
21:29 But yeah, there's just too many red flags.
21:32 And the thing is, if Lydia was truly
21:34 in your rear view mirror, cool.
21:37 But Lydia is still very present in this whole situation.
21:42 You're gonna have to keep bumping into this girl
21:43 who you know has ties with the man that you love,
21:47 and she might even still be wanting to get back with him.
21:49 It's just, no, it is a mess.
21:51 So then we see the trailer.
21:56 Mr. Morality looking very unfavorable, very unfavorable.
22:00 Because who are you talking to on the phone like that?
22:03 I was talking to my cousin about this episode,
22:04 and she was saying that she feels like Uche
22:07 still deserved a goodbye, even though that he is problematic
22:10 in his own right.
22:12 I tend to believe that maybe there were some things
22:16 that were showing themselves even before Aaliyah left
22:20 that was like, I don't wanna deal with this.
22:22 And then this phone call here is our first time seeing it,
22:26 but maybe she had already had an inkling
22:28 of this behavior beforehand.
22:30 I felt like the way that he was talking to her on the phone,
22:34 nah, I was gonna do this for, and I'm gonna shut up,
22:37 who cares, who cares, I made my decision, okay?
22:40 Suck it up.
22:41 Then this girl's gonna meet up with him at a restaurant
22:42 or whatever it seems like.
22:44 If this is a Irina, not Irina, Bliss and Zach situation
22:49 again, I'm gonna lose my top,
22:50 because y'all are not doing the process properly, okay?
22:54 Supposed to get married in the pods
22:56 or get engaged in the pods, not out of the pods.
22:59 Anyways, it also looks like Izzy has a little wandering.
23:04 I am so glad I did the first impressions video,
23:06 because literally my first impression of who Izzy was
23:09 is who he seems to be.
23:11 So we'll see how this goes.
23:14 The next batch, I think it's two,
23:17 I think it's three episodes that are dropping this Friday,
23:22 and then it's two episodes the week after that,
23:24 the next Friday, and then one episode the Friday after that.
23:28 So yeah, y'all let me know your thoughts
23:31 on the season so far.
23:32 Also let me know if you guys wanna do a live
23:34 or something in the middle of the week.
23:36 I'll see if I can arrange that,
23:37 we could talk about what we've seen so far.
23:40 Like, comment, share, and subscribe,
23:41 and I'll see you in the next one.
