And might I remind you, there is no cash prize up for grabs!
So, you know, not exactly the highest stakes in the world.
Say what you want about Harry, but he was born to be on reality TV.
(He claims that he has matured out of the name but doesnt know how to change it.)
Theres a reason Netflix waited until the last few minutes of the episode to resolve his story line.
But Jessica has to make a decision before knowing for sure what happened.
Chris and Tolu win, while Stevan and a very competitive Alara are a close second.
Bryton and Elys are last but dont seem pressed.
Tolu and Chris go on a victory date, where she asks about his high body count.
Chris assures her that hes never cheated … in any of his three committed relationships.
Maybe Im being cynical, but that feels like a cop-out.
Does he cheat if he considers a relationship to be more casual?
Here, their game plan is to be nice but strategic, which they accomplish with their co-ed choices.
They decide to send Izzy and Christine on dates with Jessica and Nigel, respectively.
I think at this point, everyone feels bad for Izzy.
He matched up with Micah, but so far seems to just be listening to her vent about Kaz.
And Tolus gotta look out for that bald-head, Megamind connection with her literal day one.
On the dates, Izzy makes Jessica feel comfortable when hes not dripping sweat into her mouth.
Christine hints to Nigel that shes ready for a man who will actively pursue her.
Thats apparently enough to convince Micah that his feelings are genuine, sigh.
At the final mixer, Christine is pissed when Micah fills her in about Kazs change of heart.
She and Kaz argue, and all of her friends are now very much Team Nigel.
If only Izzy had successfully convinced everyone to play Vroom and Skrrt (?
), whatever that is!
The next morning, however, Jessica and Izzy inform everyone that they are unmatching.
The remaining couples go on one-on-one activity dates where they discuss what will happen once they leave Tulum.
Two types of people!
Just like that, its time for a mini-reunion moderated by Nick Lachey.
Its pretty much what youd expect.
Its interesting to hear Xanthi suggest that Stevan isnt genuine.
Before the final vote, Nick asks if anyone has anything theyd like to say.
Harry alludes to making silly decisions and embarrassing himself, and Netflix finally steps in to drop some receipts.
When she brings up their treacherous kiss, he says he wants to sleep with her.
I didnt mean to do it, he says.
Youve gotta hand it to Netflix.
Harry has shown us who he is for ten episodes straight.
Ofcoursehes capable of kissing another girl and lying about it.
People who watched him onToo Hot to Handlealready know that.
It turns out the producers had that, but they were just holding onto the footage to maximize impact.
As far as we see, Harry never apologizes directly to her for the gaslighting.
This result is a reminder that winningPerfect Matchis kinda like campaigning to become prom king and queen.
Basically, youve gotta be compatible not just with your partner but also with the entire house.
Cheers, Christine and Nigel!
But wait, its not over yet!
In a video they filmed together in a car, Harry predicts theyll be married when this airs.
A giant text immediately informs us that they actually broke up a week later.
Its a perfect ending.
