00:00 - What would you do if your mom did not like your partner?
00:02 - I'd let it stew, 'cause that just makes Thanksgiving
00:04 like that much better, honestly.
00:06 (laughing)
00:08 - Hi, I'm Liana, and this is my ex, Rahim.
00:13 Rahim and I met because I actually found him
00:15 through a friend's podcast, and then I slid into his DMs,
00:18 'cause I just, I really liked what I saw.
00:20 - We dated for about six months.
00:21 Liana wanted a little bit more commitment,
00:23 and I wasn't really into it, so things didn't work out.
00:26 - I wasn't trying to waste my time.
00:27 (laughing)
00:28 I couldn't do it.
00:29 - Even though we were in a relationship,
00:31 we were always friends.
00:32 - I agree, I think the love is still there.
00:34 - Love?
00:35 (laughing)
00:35 - Relax.
00:36 (laughing)
00:39 - When you get in there, all you have to do
00:42 is look for good hygiene, nice teeth,
00:46 and a really bubbly personality.
00:48 - Hopefully, we'll find something.
00:49 Let's do it.
00:53 - I'm so excited.
01:00 - Good luck.
01:00 - So, y'all ready to do this?
01:03 - Yeah. - Let's do it.
01:04 - Tell me about yourself.
01:05 - I'm Matt, I'm 21, I'm a model.
01:08 And a fun fact about myself is that
01:09 I played ice hockey growing up, and I'm new to the city.
01:13 - I'm Ben, I'm 25, I'm an actor,
01:17 and I also work as a project manager
01:19 for a glass and metal company.
01:21 I do a lot, I do the most.
01:23 - Okay.
01:24 - Chris, 28, I work in sports social media.
01:27 I do New York City, history, TikToks.
01:29 - Leanna likes TikToks.
01:30 - I love a scroll.
01:31 - I'm hearing a lot of good things here so far.
01:33 - What's up, man?
01:35 I'm Vincent, I'm 30 years old,
01:36 born and raised in Brooklyn, in a construction field.
01:39 In spite of being ghosted nonstop,
01:41 I'm still looking for love.
01:43 - Hi, my name is Doug, I'm originally from
01:44 New Orleans, Louisiana, living here in New York.
01:46 27 years old, I work in finance.
01:48 I like to cook, and I like to watch people
01:50 enjoy what I put in their body.
01:52 Good jambalaya.
01:54 - Okay.
01:55 (laughing)
01:56 - I might have to mess with a little jambalaya.
01:59 - We'll see.
02:00 So, unfortunately, before I get into any of the questions,
02:03 I'm gonna have to eliminate one of you.
02:05 Matt, I have to let you go.
02:10 I think you're a little bit too young for her,
02:14 and I don't know if the model lifestyle suits her.
02:16 My God, you're kinda tall.
02:20 - Hi, I'm Matt.
02:21 - Nice meeting you.
02:22 - I'm just bummed out, I don't think my age
02:24 should really have held me back.
02:26 I think I'm more mature than my age says.
02:29 - Why would you eliminate a model?
02:31 - Sorry, I know what's best.
02:33 - He was definitely so cute, and he was more of my type
02:37 on paper, but 21, I can't handle a baby.
02:41 - Ready eliminated one person, so that leaves you four.
02:44 We're gonna start with asking some questions,
02:46 so tell me your first date with Liana.
02:48 Where would you take her?
02:49 - My house first.
02:50 My bathroom is clean, my kitchen is clean,
02:52 my den is clean.
02:54 I have a TV right here.
02:55 I have food, I have dishes, I have me and you.
02:59 What do you like to watch?
03:00 What would you like to watch?
03:01 If you don't wanna watch TV, let's just watch each other.
03:04 Dougie.
03:05 - Thoughtful man.
03:06 - Dougie's a different breed.
03:09 - Chris.
03:10 - I love being outside, not necessarily being active per se,
03:14 but being outside, catching a nice view.
03:16 So I would take her to Pier 35,
03:18 one of my favorite spots in the city.
03:20 Has a view of the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge.
03:24 Get a charcuterie board and maybe some wine
03:29 and just talk about life and our passions.
03:33 - You know I love a good view,
03:34 so I'm liking what I'm hearing so far.
03:35 I think there's a lot of good potential suitors here.
03:37 - Benny.
03:38 - I think drinks are the best.
03:39 You get to know a person after they had a few drinks,
03:41 you really get to see deep in them.
03:42 To be honest, I think guys that take girls
03:44 on fancy dinners on the first date is corny.
03:46 Wasting thousands of dollars on fancy dinners
03:48 for girls that just using you up.
03:50 - Close your ears, Liana.
03:51 (laughing)
03:53 You have to take me out, come on.
03:55 Look at me.
03:55 (laughing)
03:56 - Beth.
03:57 - I would take her to a museum.
03:59 I love the Cloisters, this area where it's like
04:02 all these mansions and it has the Met Museum.
04:05 It's a good setting to get to know each other
04:07 while you're seeing what your interests are
04:09 with the art and everything and the history.
04:11 - How many people are you currently talking to?
04:13 Start with Vinny.
04:14 - Zero.
04:15 - Okay, sure.
04:16 - Positive.
04:17 - Wouldn't be here if I was.
04:18 - Okay.
04:19 - Beth.
04:20 - A couple, you know, it depends on the context.
04:22 (laughing)
04:23 You mean intimately or?
04:26 - Sounds like you're lying already.
04:27 - No, I'm not lying.
04:29 No, there are some people you know that come in
04:32 from the past every now and again,
04:33 you can't really predict.
04:35 It's kind of tough to predict what will,
04:37 if anything would materialize.
04:40 - Okay.
04:41 - Wow.
04:41 - One.
04:42 (laughing)
04:43 - Yeah, okay, one.
04:45 - I'm talking to two, me and God.
04:47 - Okay.
04:48 - Going into the second round of eliminations.
04:52 I'm just praying he knows what he's doing.
04:54 - I've heard what I needed to hear.
04:56 Ben.
05:03 It seems like you have a situation-ship going on.
05:06 I don't think that's gonna work for Leanna,
05:08 so you are not going to date my ex.
05:10 Sorry, but you gotta go.
05:14 I liked your answers though, but.
05:16 - I appreciate you.
05:17 - You got a lot going on, so.
05:18 - Why are you so excited to see Ben?
05:20 - Take care, man.
05:21 - Nice meeting you.
05:21 - You too.
05:22 - It's unfortunate that we will not be going
05:25 to the Cloisters.
05:26 - Damn, Ben might have been the one that got away
05:28 because he had such good answers, and he is really cute.
05:32 - We're gonna start talking about relationships.
05:35 I wanna start off with you, Vinny.
05:36 When was your last relationship, and how did it end?
05:39 - I never had a serious relationship.
05:41 Nothing more than a few months.
05:43 I cut things off before they get way too serious,
05:45 and I know it's gonna not work out.
05:46 I know what I want, and if it's not there, I'll end it.
05:50 - Sound like a serious man.
05:51 Doug?
05:52 - My last serious relationship was three years ago in 2021.
05:55 My ex, she had some family issues back home.
05:57 I was been taught that family comes first.
05:59 I didn't wanna be selfish.
06:00 We talked on the phone every single day.
06:01 It was amicable.
06:03 Take care of your family first, and then come back to me
06:06 when everything's better.
06:07 Things actually did not get better.
06:08 We're still good friends.
06:10 It's no bad blood.
06:11 I have a good, loving resume with her.
06:12 I'm sure she's moved on, and I'm ready for love.
06:15 - That was deep, man.
06:16 Chris, when was your last relationship?
06:18 - Mine ended in fall of 2021.
06:20 She had a different lifestyle.
06:22 She was an actress.
06:23 She also started dating an ex
06:26 while we were trying to reconcile,
06:27 and now they're living together, so that's fun.
06:30 And we had a dog together.
06:32 - Who has custody of the dog?
06:33 - She does, yeah.
06:34 She got it all.
06:35 - I have a poor dog.
06:37 I feel so sad.
06:37 (laughing)
06:39 - What's a deal breaker in a relationship for you?
06:42 - Not liking Mexican food, period.
06:44 - Oh, easy.
06:45 Simplicity, okay.
06:46 Vinny?
06:47 - No gluten-free.
06:48 - Okay. - Can't have it.
06:50 Second thing, too much partying.
06:52 - Too much partying.
06:53 - Can't deal with it.
06:54 - Why not?
06:54 - You don't get to be real with somebody
06:56 if you're always partying.
06:58 - Okay.
06:58 - Honestly, Vinny, you work hard.
07:00 I get that, but do you play hard?
07:02 Like, I need a good time.
07:03 - Doug?
07:04 - Bad breath is a big deal breaker.
07:06 How you gonna meet somebody
07:07 and not know your mouth has some kind of Jesus in these?
07:11 You know what I mean?
07:12 It's like, you know, that's the first thing you notice
07:14 is when somebody talk.
07:15 - Everything that Doug is saying,
07:16 honestly, it really does hit differently for me.
07:19 - So, we had a lot of information.
07:22 As someone who knows Leanna and knows her lifestyle
07:24 and how much she likes to have fun
07:26 and you know, what she's looking for,
07:28 I know she is really big into relationships.
07:31 It was a tough decision.
07:32 (dramatic music)
07:35 Vinny, you seem very serious, looking for a family,
07:38 but never been in a relationship,
07:39 so you're not gonna date my ex.
07:42 It was a pleasure to meet you, man.
07:45 - You too, buddy.
07:46 - Take care, man.
07:46 - You got it.
07:47 - Hey, what's up? - Hi, nice to meet you.
07:48 - How you doing?
07:49 - Leanna. - Vinny.
07:50 - Nice smile, good laugh,
07:51 but I hope the partying that she likes
07:52 doesn't catch up with her in the future.
07:54 - I really like Vinny's voice,
07:55 but I'm not looking for a father.
07:57 I grew up in a strict Haitian household,
07:59 so having him say all this stuff about no drinking,
08:02 no partying, I'm just not interested in that.
08:04 I can't do that.
08:05 - Chris, Doug, you made it to the final round.
08:07 How are you feeling?
08:08 - Feeling good.
08:09 - Confident. - Yeah.
08:10 - Hopeful.
08:10 - How you feeling?
08:11 - Raheem, this is tough for you.
08:12 - I'm not gonna be dating them, so it's not tough for me.
08:16 Chris, Doug, I've gotten to know a lot about you,
08:19 but I wanna ask a couple of curveball questions.
08:22 Chris, you get into your first fight with your partner.
08:25 How do you handle it?
08:26 - It's all about finding a solution,
08:27 a middle ground, mediation.
08:29 I'm always someone that tries to find a solution
08:32 or the root cause of the issue and work it out verbally.
08:35 Never needs to escalate.
08:37 - I like that answer.
08:39 Doug?
08:39 - I will let my partner get it all out.
08:41 Then when I think that she's finished,
08:43 think that she's calm,
08:44 I will do whatever I can to just be
08:47 in a tranquil position with her
08:49 and then apologize afterwards.
08:51 And then afterwards say, "Baby, what you want to drink?
08:54 "You want wine?
08:55 "You want vodka?
08:56 "All right, let's get it."
08:57 - Okay, Doug.
08:59 What's your biggest turn on?
09:00 - My biggest turn on,
09:03 someone that is not afraid to be themselves.
09:07 Someone that can just smile and laugh
09:09 at anything that people look down on.
09:11 - For me, I would say banter is my biggest turn on.
09:14 Banter, like being able to improv.
09:16 If we decide to play the,
09:18 we're together for a while,
09:19 but we decide to meet at the bar, be single.
09:22 - Sounds like some PG 50 Shades of Grey stuff.
09:25 Meet at the bar?
09:26 Like you don't know her?
09:27 - Yeah, exactly.
09:28 Act like you don't know her,
09:29 but then you're acting together
09:30 and you flirt with each other.
09:32 - Okay.
09:33 What is the body part that you're most attracted to?
09:36 - Brother, my dad's a minister,
09:38 so I'm gonna try and keep it PG-13.
09:40 I like hair.
09:41 We can tell a lot about a person's hair.
09:43 So hair is a, even if it's not theirs,
09:46 they bought it, they take care of it.
09:48 Hair, I love it.
09:50 - Lips, I think lips are extremely important.
09:53 In a relationship, you will be kissing a lot
09:55 and having nice full lips is the best.
09:59 - Okay.
10:00 How you feeling?
10:01 - This one's definitely tough
10:01 because you know I take pride in my hair,
10:03 but I love my lips and I love a good kisser,
10:05 so I feel like that is an answer
10:07 I'm leaning towards right now.
10:08 - I think this is a really important question.
10:10 What would you do if your mom did not like your partner?
10:12 - Family always comes first.
10:14 I would talk to her,
10:15 know what my current girl likes to do,
10:17 or be around in conjunction with my mother,
10:20 bring them around the same situation
10:22 and be like, you know what?
10:24 You like her after all because I know her
10:26 just as much as I know you.
10:28 - I'd let it stew, 'cause that just makes Thanksgiving
10:30 like that much better, honestly.
10:31 I mean, yeah, no, I'm kind of joking.
10:34 But to Doug's point,
10:35 finding a middle ground is always very important.
10:37 But at the end of the day, my life, my choices,
10:40 especially in a romantic partner,
10:42 it's me and her, it's not me, her, and my mother.
10:44 (laughing)
10:46 - We've gone through a lot of rounds.
10:48 I've heard a lot of information from both of you.
10:50 Just based on what I've heard,
10:51 I feel like Chris, you're someone who is quick
10:54 with your answers, you're very thoughtful,
10:55 straightforward, I think that you're very insightful.
10:58 But you had some answers that puzzled me.
11:01 Doug, you are the most interesting person I've ever met.
11:04 Your answers are beyond wild
11:07 and I'm really open to what you have to say,
11:09 but I don't know.
11:10 - I'm scared.
11:11 - Unfortunately, I've heard what I need to hear.
11:14 Doug, you are not going to date my ex.
11:19 - It's all right, brother, good to be here.
11:23 - All right. - Oh!
11:24 - The infamous Doug!
11:25 - Beautiful.
11:26 (laughing)
11:28 Beautiful, huh?
11:29 - Your girl's gonna be lucky.
11:30 - I know, she will, and I hope she's as beautiful as you.
11:33 - Oh, thank you, I appreciate you.
11:35 (laughing)
11:36 - Thank you. - Thank you.
11:37 - I gave her everything, was honest,
11:39 and I'm happy for her, she's a beautiful girl.
11:42 - Doug, Doug, Doug, Doug, Doug.
11:44 My God, is he wordy.
11:46 I like to talk, so us talking at each other,
11:48 I'm pretty sure we would never shut up.
11:50 - So Chris, you're the finalist, how you feeling?
11:53 - Oh man, I feel great, I'm excited.
11:55 - So you ready to date my ex?
11:57 - I think I am, yeah.
11:58 - Lana, are you ready?
11:59 - I'm ready than I'll ever be.
12:01 - All right. - Let's do it.
12:02 - Let's do it.
12:03 (upbeat music)
12:06 - Okay. - Yeah?
12:08 - Yeah.
12:09 - You may take your blindfold off.
12:11 (laughing)
12:12 - Hi! - Hi!
12:13 - How's it going?
12:14 - Good, how are you?
12:15 - I am great, you are beautiful.
12:17 - Thank you so much, I loved your answers,
12:19 you have such a good vibe.
12:19 - Thanks so much, appreciate it.
12:21 - I watch your TikToks.
12:22 - Oh my God, I love it. - Yeah, I really enjoy TikToks,
12:23 I'm on TikTok too, yeah.
12:24 - Yeah, you did say she loves TikToks.
12:26 - Yeah. - I love TikTok.
12:28 - I honestly really like Raheem Pick.
12:30 From the get-go, I knew Chris might be the one.
12:32 - Hey guys.
12:33 - Yeah.
12:33 - So there's actually a plot twist here.
12:35 - Oh great.
12:36 - Liana, you can either go out with Chris
12:40 or get back with Raheem.
12:42 (laughing)
12:44 - Is this a joke?
12:45 - Oh my God.
12:46 (laughing)
12:47 - I feel like we've spent ample amount of time,
12:50 I've known you for years.
12:51 I just think we should try again.
12:53 - Oh my goodness.
12:55 Can I get a decision to think about this?
12:56 (laughing)
12:58 - What the (beep)
13:01 - Like is this real?
13:03 Is this real?
13:04 I'm like stressed right now.
13:06 - I'm stressed too.
13:06 - I know, right?
13:07 - I know Liana and I have been going through it,
13:10 I've known her for years,
13:11 but I really hope she picks me.
13:12 (upbeat music)
13:16 - Chris, Raheem, even though I'm a firm believer
13:20 of second chances, Raheem,
13:22 I would consider us drinking buddies.
13:24 Chris seems like such a nice guy.
13:25 I want someone who can be in my life in all aspects.
13:29 I think I'm ready to just move forward,
13:31 so I think I'm gonna go with Chris.
13:33 Love you, best friend.
13:34 (laughing)
13:35 - Can't believe that almost just happened again to me.
13:38 Liana, I'm glad you made your decision and it's me.
13:41 - Absolutely.
13:42 - Kind of bummed that she didn't pick me
13:43 because we have a lot of history.
13:45 - It's nice to have someone pick you over your ex,
13:49 unlike my last girlfriend.
13:51 I'm happy she picked me, she seems great.
13:54 - Best man won.
13:55 - As soon as I heard Chris's answers,
13:56 I was like, that's exactly what I'm looking for
13:58 in a partner or just a date,
14:00 so I'm really excited to see where this can go.
