Vienna's Last Chance Date
Jake meets Vienna at a sulfur spring. Vienna complains that it smells like egg and she doesn't want to swim in it, but she eventually comes around when she feels the silky mud and realizes Jake will be shirtless.

They roll around in the mud and make out. (Seriously!) The camera zooms in on Jake's mud-covered abs as Vienna writes "I love you" with her acrylic nail. Romantic!

They share champagne under a waterfall, and Vienna says she is "head over heels, crazy in love" with Jake, and she knows they'll last forever. (To be fair, anyone would say that while drinking champagne under a waterfall. It's like a rule.)

Time for "Dessert"
Vienna writes a note to Jake, and tells us that she wants to give him her promise ring, which actually means, "I promise not to elope again, and wait to marry the right man this time around." And she wants to give it to Jake. ("What's this hanging around my neck? Oh, it's my fiancee's "Second Chance" ring that she gave me when we were on reality TV together. It means so much.")

Vienna and Jake talk about her previous "marriage," and she says it broke her heart to disappoint her father, and she plans to make him proud... by marrying Jake.

Vienna gives him the note and the ring. He's touched by the words of love and commitment, and they cuddle (her reward?). It's romantic until Jake reminds Vienna it's their last date, and she gets scared that he is going to choose Tenley.

Jake leaves, and Vienna won't see him again until the final rose ceremony. "That may be the last time I get to kiss him. This may be our goodbye. I just laid everything on the line, and I'm so scared. I don't want to lose him."


Tenley's Last Chance Date
Jake and Tenley charter a yacht for the day, and they'll be snorkeling in coral reefs.

They snuggle on deck, and then dive in to snorkel with the fish.

After some underwater exploring, Jake is a bit morose. He calls it "tired." He admits to Tenley that he is emotionally confused. He is captivated by Tenley and their emotional chemistry is "alarmingly hot," but he's concerned that their physical chemistry isn't. Tenley says she thinks they have heat and passion, but Jake says it's building slowly.

Tenley is hurt to realize that Jake feels more warmth with someone else, and he tries to reassure her that he does feel love toward her. She says she simply "can't" go back to a place where she doesn't feel love.

Nice going, Jake. Date. RUINED.

Chemistry Lessons
Tenley prepares for Jake to come over that evening, and she is totally zapped of her confidence after their conversation on the boat.

Tenley gently asks to put their "chemistry" talk to rest, and he apologizes for his terrible timing, and he loves so many things about her, especially that she didn't shut down when he hurt her. Tenley tells Jake she is thankful he was honest, and she wants to be there for him when confusion arises in the future. They seal it with a kiss, and then move to the bedroom for champagne and cuddle-time.

Tenley breaks out her present for Jake: a shadowbox of photos of them in San Francisco and St. Lucia. She tells Jake she loves him, and he says, "I love it." Then he tells the camera that he loves Tenley.

More kissing. More and more and more kissing. Is it over yet? I feel funny inside. (I think it's called "boredom." Let's get to that rose ceremony!)
