    Episode Description


    We talk about the talent show group date where the men had to perform a song that they wrote for Tayshia.
    Ivan won the date, so he had the opportunity to have a one-on-one date with her. They played games and had fun but then had some very serious conversation about racial injustice and the Black Lives Matter movement. 

    The next date was a truth or dare date where the men had to complete dares that ended up being cringy and also hysterical. During the cocktail portion of the date, Tayshia uses her time to learn about the men’s truths.
    Ben and Ed both wanted some alone time with Tayshia after the date was over.

    The cocktail party was cut short when Noah lied to Tayshia about some of the things the other men said.
    The episode ended with the rose ceremony which means we’re back on scheduled track.
