After last week’s Season 3 premiere of 90 Day: The Single Life, the singles were truly ready to mingle.
Despite the awkward goodnight not-kiss with Josh, Natalie wants him to answer some key questions.
Debbie has never been hornier than she is as she waits for Tony to show.
Veronica gets her introduction. She has planned a hot date … but how will Tim factor into things?
Caesar meets with the matchmaker, but doesn’t tell her how he’ll dress to meet the ladies. There’s a reason for that.
Finally, we did not see much of Tania — well, not much screen time — this week. But she finds herself having to explain her marital status. Multiple times.
Natalie Mordovtseva
She has her own version of last night’s events. To hear her tell it, she declined to kiss Josh the night before and then slammed the door in his face after their date, all because she wants commitment. That is not exactly how we remember it, but okay.
She gets a call from Josh
Natalie is immediately excited to go on another date with Josh. This will be her second since coming to Los Angeles to see him, and their third overall.
He drives her to the beach
Natalie praises the car. We won’t say that him owning a Tesla is a red flag, because for years the company enjoyed a positive reputation. To Natalie, it shows that he is a very “clean” person.
They talk about their past
Natalie asks Joel about his exes and why he broke up. He gives her some pretty decent answers — for example, he and his first wife were just young and inexperienced. She confesses that she sees herself as a failure after multiple marriages ended in breakups.
A kiss
Natalie decides that she trusts Josh enough to share a kiss. Oh, and she really missed kissing.
Debbie Johnson
She is still reeling from her ugly fight with Colt. After the things that he said to her, she is unsure if there is any coming back from that.
Debbie is packing to meet Tony
The two of them are going to meet up at a hotel. Debbie hopes that they will enjoy more than dinner while they’re there. This will be her first potential hookup in well over a decade, and she is understandably anxious.
Debbie waits for Tony to show
Don’t worry; he doesn’t stand her up. Tony shows up and the two of them share one of the most sexually charged hugs that this show has ever recorded.
Debbie is READY
After watching her deal with so much grief from Colt (and dish some out, to be clear), it is nice to see Debbie in such good spirits. Yes, Tony does invite her up to the room.
Wow!
A few minutes spent enjoying the hotel and the fire turns into a steamy makeout session.
And it doesn’t stop there!
Debbie and Tony’s hot-and-bothered snogfest turns horizontal as the two get into the hotel bed.
Veronica Rodriguez
We finally get to see Veronica for the first time this season. Tim Malcolm, who is both her ex and her co-parent, is an incredibly good sport about giving producers the classic Tim antics that they want to see.
But make no mistake, this is about Veronica
She has been a fan-favorite for years, largely following her role on Pillow Talk. She enjoys her best friend status with Tim, and not only because it’s good for their daughter. But … she is also looking for romance. Not with Tim, though.
Veronica has a date
The guy’s name is Justin. He has two kids — one four, one eight — which makes Tim question if Veronica is wasting her time. He wants her to date, but if she’s not interested in restarting a parenting journey, maybe this isn’t the right guy for her?
Ohhhhhh
It’s not difficult to guess why Veronica is going on a date with Justin. Also, she notes, his financial stability is a real turn-on.
On the date
Veronica and Justin seem to have an interest in each other. They discuss their roles as parents and their hobbies. Justin’s abs are clearly the result of a lot of interest in fitness. For some people, that’s an ideal partner. For others, fitness buffs are great for short-term hookups but are not compatible partners.
Justin comes home with Veronica
Only to find Tim seated in her living room, waiting to meet Justin. That is deeply awkward and everyone but Tim is totally weirded out.
It’s worse than that
Basically, even when Tim leaves, he makes sure that Justin all but has to leave with him. He c–kblocked Veronica on her date. Look, maybe she texted him to play the bad guy here and get her out of a weird date. Or maybe they planned this from the start, for the drama. But it’s not a healthy model for dating.
Caesar Mack
In Kyiv — before the brutal invasion — Caesar meets with the matchmaker. He is so confident that it’s a small wonder that he didn’t ask for her number. Instead, she explained how things will go when he meets the 15 potential candidates. She asks what Caesar will wear for the meet-up, but he declines to tell her — with good reason.
THIS is what he’s wearing
Words cannot describe the vibe of Caesar’s outfit. Meanwhile, he enters a limo with other men who are there to meet these women. He does note that his job as a nail technician doesn’t seem to match up to some of the professions that these men have. Well, the handsome one’s a crypto bro, which isn’t a job — it’s a red flag. Point is, Caesar seems a little intimidated. How, he wonders, will these women compare him to the others?
Tania Maduro
We pick up where we left off, with Tania explaining to her date, Joel, that she’s only married on paper, but that her marriage has been over for a very long time. Joel clearly feels taken aback, but he also teases her a bit.
While in Aruba, Tania aims to go with the flow
Joel takes her to some gorgeous caves — joking that she’s the first girl he’s ever taken there. They are lovely. And full of bats, which is super neat.
Then to the beach
Joel asks what Tania is doing, and she explains that she loves the vibe of Aruba and wants to enjoy her time here. She also implies that she’s taking things slow with him because she is really attracted to him. He warns her that he’ll feel weird about it if she’s legally married, not divorcing, when they’re a few dates in. Their banter is pretty cute, but it’s hard to see how this could become more than a vacation fling.
