I've always said that when you're alone with someone, you can be who you really are, you know? They just, like, see the real you. So it felt so special that I finally got that one-on-one with Josh, and it was, like … just us. And production, obviously, but mostly just us. [Pause.] These emotions I'm feeling, they're … real.

[Sniffles.] I've been true to myself throughout this whole journey, and if Josh realized that's n—not who he wa—wanted … I just hope he finds what he's lo—looking for. [Pause.] My makeup's probably a mess right now, huh? [Sniffles.] I just hope he finds what he's looking for. Did I say that already? God, I need a nap.

Being here with Josh, and falling in love—I feel like the luckiest girl in the whole world. But at the same time, it's scary, you know? It's just getting real. [Nervous laugh.] I know I already had a one-on-one date, but every time we get a date card, I just start, like, manifesting that they'll call my name again. Maybe next week, right?

Buenos Aires definitely heightened a lot of feelings—I think everyone's feeling the pressure. But I'm really looking forward to seeing what's next for all of us. This is my first time out of the country, and it's been exhausting. [Pauses.] Not in a bad way! I couldn't be more excited to explore it all with Josh!
