It’s a week of firsts in the mansion. On the very first morning, the women excitedly get to know each other, all hoping for a date with BEAR. Host SAMANTHA arrives with the first single date invitation, inspired by one of his greatest passions.
BEAR whisks JANETTE away on a romantic sail to a private beach picnic, where sparks fly, their connection deepens, and they share the first kiss before he offers her a rose. But back at the mansion, CATHERINE can’t hide her disappointment at being overlooked.
Next, BEAR turns up the heat with a rom-com-inspired group date, inviting CATHERINE, NICOLETTE, JAN, GERA, HAMIDAH, SUNNY, SHAMSE, ELIZETTE and KATRINA. From Grease to Dirty Dancing to Muriel’s Wedding, the women step into iconic love stories — but the roles they choose reveal more about their characters than BEAR bargained for. SUNNY shines, CATHERINE steals the limelight in Dirty Dancing, and SHAMSE is so overcome she bolts from the date.
At the Cocktail Party, the women introduce a new girl code — “permission to push” — to keep things fair. But when CATHERINE ignores the rule and cuts in on LAUREN, tensions flare.
At the rose ceremony Linda and Nicolette fail to receive roses and depart the mansion.
