Yeah, look, I think Chante is great. I don't think I fully got to experience her in terms of her personality. She was very closed off up until the last three days of filming. I just think she didn't allow herself to enjoy the entire journey and process of it.

1374.898

I would have wanted my girl to act the way she did. She did amazing. She didn't give opportunity for any clips to even look bad. That's why I think Breon even said it. She didn't do anything. She was never talking to a boy in any of the clips. She did what she was supposed to do. All right, so commend her for that. At the end, she did what was best for her, in her opinion.

What's the Reality?

Stand on It with Love is Blind's Ben and AD Plays Matchmaker with The Ultimatum's Zaina and Temptation Island's Hashim

2429.346

I'll be honest, I have not talked to them, nor have I ever met Breon. Sure. Yeah, nor have I ever met Breon. There was an article that came out today about all of the couples. Apparently they're still together.

What's the Reality?

Stand on It with Love is Blind's Ben and AD Plays Matchmaker with The Ultimatum's Zaina and Temptation Island's Hashim

2444.098

What's the Reality?

Stand on It with Love is Blind's Ben and AD Plays Matchmaker with The Ultimatum's Zaina and Temptation Island's Hashim

2473.874

I mean, it didn't, I wasn't hurt by it. I was just like, I was just trying to show my friend. I was shocked because it was like, we didn't have like that.

What's the Reality?

What's the Reality?

Stand on It with Love is Blind's Ben and AD Plays Matchmaker with The Ultimatum's Zaina and Temptation Island's Hashim

4470.209

I would take someone that, I would need someone that's very insecure, or not insecure, someone that's very secure in themselves. Like, know what they want to do, know what they want out of life, career-wise, who they want to be, know how they like to be loved, how they know how they like to be treated.

What's the Reality?

Stand on It with Love is Blind's Ben and AD Plays Matchmaker with The Ultimatum's Zaina and Temptation Island's Hashim

4486.739

Because, like, I can love them a certain way or treat them a certain way, but if they don't even like it, then it's just like, it's not going to hit them the same. So it's like, and also me understanding how they like to be loved, also, and vice versa, like, what I need.

What's the Reality?

Stand on It with Love is Blind's Ben and AD Plays Matchmaker with The Ultimatum's Zaina and Temptation Island's Hashim

4500.406

from a partner i think is what i'm gonna really take because if you don't know those things that's when you end up on sensation hour or something like that just yeah do you feel like you saw that with the couples that people were just unsure of how they wanted to be loved or how they were loving um i think more on the guy's side they were just kind of unsure from from what i saw on the show seemed a little bit unsure about themselves and like what they even

What's the Reality?

Stand on It with Love is Blind's Ben and AD Plays Matchmaker with The Ultimatum's Zaina and Temptation Island's Hashim

4527.133

what they even needed from their partner. So that's why they're like, Oh, let me see what this one can do for you. Let me see what this one, whether that's physical, emotional, or just how they even like to be just talked to and have a banter they like to have. Um, so I think you just need to be fully securing yourself and then saying, and vice versa for the partner.

What's the Reality?

Stand on It with Love is Blind's Ben and AD Plays Matchmaker with The Ultimatum's Zaina and Temptation Island's Hashim

4556.015

That's a good question. I don't know. I guess it would be harder. I guess it would be harder just to like cipher through.

What's the Reality?

Stand on It with Love is Blind's Ben and AD Plays Matchmaker with The Ultimatum's Zaina and Temptation Island's Hashim

4568.158

Yeah. You know? I mean, I was, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not dry anymore, I guess.

What's the Reality?

Stand on It with Love is Blind's Ben and AD Plays Matchmaker with The Ultimatum's Zaina and Temptation Island's Hashim

4579.781

I was just joking. But I think it would be harder just to decipher, just like as I move along with our startup and then just social media stuff or the social media world, trying to decipher who likes you for you versus who just wants to be next to you and take pictures.

What's the Reality?

Stand on It with Love is Blind's Ben and AD Plays Matchmaker with The Ultimatum's Zaina and Temptation Island's Hashim

4600.959

I would definitely go on Perfect Match. So the reason why I would want to go on Perfect Match, because I didn't necessarily get that opportunity to flirt or even banter or have that back and forth with somebody. Because I did go into it with an open mind. The person I was matched up with was pretty close-minded, which is amazing for her. That's what she was supposed to do.

What's the Reality?

Stand on It with Love is Blind's Ben and AD Plays Matchmaker with The Ultimatum's Zaina and Temptation Island's Hashim

4623.473

But from my experience, it was kind of hindered just because I didn't get that opportunity. So that's why I would want to do Perfect Match.

What's the Reality?

Stand on It with Love is Blind's Ben and AD Plays Matchmaker with The Ultimatum's Zaina and Temptation Island's Hashim

4635.854

It's just, I mean, cause you, the whole point of it is like, you've seen these people on other shows. It's like the Avengers. It's like an Avenger call. It's pretty cool to see who matches up. See if it's like a genuine connection.

What's the Reality?

Stand on It with Love is Blind's Ben and AD Plays Matchmaker with The Ultimatum's Zaina and Temptation Island's Hashim
