‘I just felt I wouldn’t be able to fall asleep in an empty bed tonight without a guilty conscience,’ Bergie said.
Sarah said it was time for him to say his goodbyes and leave the villa. Anna started crying and Bergie hugged her and said it was not her fault. The men told Bergie he was a true gentleman.
‘It’s a true man to always put a woman first,’ said Marco Donatelli, 22, a chiropractic student from Youngstown, Ohio,
‘I’m going to be rooting for all you guys,’ Bergie said.
Bernie said it was a shock that he had to leave so early.
‘I wish I had more time in the villa for sure,’ Bergie said.
In a shocking twist, Bergie once he was outside the villa with his packed bags got a text that read ‘Bergie everyone deserves a second chance. # still in the game # throuple up’.
The sexy contestants on the Peacock show were competing to win the $100,00 prize if they were voted to stay on until the end.

‘I’m here to find my man,’ Kay Kay said.
Anna arrived next. She said in a confessional that she wanted to be a private investigator and that she likes the bad boys and short ‘kings.’ She said she also packed a wedding dress because she was super confident she was going to meet someone.
Kassy Castillo, 22, a real estate student from Louisiana, shared in her confessional that she had a hidden tattoo that read ‘Bite Me’ inside her lip that she got to impress a man.

Destiny Davis, 26, from St. Louis, Missouri, said in her intro that she was a microbiologist and had two degrees.
‘I’m the hottest scientist I know,’ Destiny said. ‘I’m here to find the completion to my package. I want brains and beauty.’

‘I have f***ing cobwebs growing down there,’ Jasmine said. ‘Somebody bring me a Swifter.’
‘Are we ready to find husbands?’ Sarah asked the women.
‘I’m 22, I want to wait on the husband part,’ Kassy said.
Sarah then had the contestants play a new game called ‘Stick Or Twist.’ The girls had to decide which boy they wanted to stick with or move on to the next.
Leonardo Dionicio, a salesman from Connecticut, was the first to arrive. The women walked over and gave him a hug and stood with him. Marco showed up next and said that he loved being naked.
‘I’m just going to be honest, naked Marco is a very pretty sight,’ Marco said.
Marco said he planned to shave his whole body and lather his ‘ball sack’ in coconut oil before he even arrived at the villa. Jasmine and Destiny moved over to be with Marco.
Victor Gonzalez, 28, a student and wrestler originally from Spain, came out next. Victor said in a confessional that a lot of people think he looks like Jason Momoa and that he liked to read romance novels.

‘You know I was looking at you,’ Keenan said.
Bergie was the last man to arrive, but no one moved over to be with Bergie.
Leonardo had two girls vying for him and decided to pick Kassy.
‘I like the Latina connection,’ Leonardo said.

Victor then picked Jasmine to couple up with which meant that Bergie and Anna were a couple.
‘She’s like my type, exactly,’ Bergie said.
After the couples got paired up, they spent time getting to know each other.
Bergie told Anna that he was dating for marriage.
‘I’ve never had a girlfriend,’ Bergie said when Anna asked him to describe his past relationships. ‘I don’t know if that’s a red flag or not. I’ve only dated five girls in my past.’
Kay Kay told Keenan that he made her ‘heart skip’ when she first saw him.
‘You made the right choice,’ Keenan said.
Destiny told Marco she was excited to be coupled up with him. The two started kissing on the beach.
At night, the group changed and got ready to party. Anna broke away from Bergie and went to talk to Leonardo. Leonardo asked her what her type was.
‘You,’ Anna said. ‘I am telling everybody you are my number one.’
The group then played a game putting their phones in a bowl and if they pulled their phone out they could kiss whoever they wanted. Bergie’s phone got pulled and he took off his shirt and kissed Anna. Anna’s phone got picked next and she walked over to Jasmine and started to kiss her and the guys were stunned.
Sarah showed up and said it was time to find out whether they chose wisely in their couples. They had to then vote which couple they thought was the least compatible with the couple that received the most votes becoming vulnerable.

After the votes were tabulated, Anna and Bergie received the most votes as the couple being least compatible. Anna even said they should vote for themselves.
‘Our compatibility is not really there and our energy is completely different so I think we should vote for ourselves,’ Anna said.
Sarah said that one of them would leave the villa and Bergie shortly after revealed that he decided to leave.
