“Dating Deal Breakers” gets down and dirty this week as the ladies explore guys who drink cosmos, Kegels, and some racy sexual activities.

Break out your skates and spandex and get ready to fall in love with this week’s talented and charming Unqualified guest…Adam Rippon, American figure skater and Olympian!

Anna wastes no time breaking the ice with Adam, kicking off the episode by asking, “Would you wipe Dame Judi Dench’s butt?” (Spoiler Alert: He would!)

Clearly, no topic is off-limits this week as Anna and Adam candidly converse about everything from Adam’s accomplished figure skating career to condoms and hooking up at the Olympic Village.

Being the Olympian that he is, Adam champions through the Unqualified game segments, starting with “Would You Swipe Right?”, where Adam weighs in on Cirque du Soleil contortionists, raw food caterers, and UFC Fighters. And on “Dating Deal Breakers”, Adam and Anna debate dating a copper metal enthusiast, an avid Grinder user, and a dildo model.

As they head to the phones, Anna, Adam, and Sim help Sarah, 29, from Northern California who is just getting back into the dating game and needs help dealing with a recent ghosting situation. Next up is Jake, 32, calling from Minnesota to get advice on how him and his husband can appropriately incorporate pornography into their relationship.
