Tara vs. Torin/Christian/Jason, 2010
Transcript
00:00Good night, everybody. Thank you.
00:30What if you could get all the scoop on your lover's problems and hangups before you fall
00:51head over heels? Well, welcome to Baggage, where we let singles risk revealing embarrassing
00:55secrets to meet that special someone. Right now, let's meet our lovely dater. She's a
01:00legal secretary from Tyler, Texas. Please welcome Tara.
01:04Hello, Tara. How are you? Very nice to meet you.
01:09You as well. Now, welcome to the show. What are you looking
01:12for here? You know, someone who can match my energy,
01:15that's motivated like me, that's fun, that's outgoing, energetic.
01:18What do you do for a living, or is it involved? Now I'm a legal secretary, so I sit behind
01:22a desk, but I used to be a professional dancer.
01:25A professional dancer? You mean with the high kicks?
01:27Yes, yes. Can we see a little dance here?
01:30Well, let's see, I can do waist high kicks for you, since I'm in a skirt.
01:35It's not so good. Give it up.
01:39Give it up. Okay, well, Tara, we've got three amazing guys
01:44who could really click with you, but like all of us, they've got some baggage. Are you
01:48pumped up to meet them? I am a bit nervous, but...
01:50Don't be nervous. They're going to love you. All right, let's bring them out. He's a mortgage
01:54broker from Denver, meet Torin. Hi, Tara. I'm Torin, and I'm all about thrill
02:05and adventure. If you pick me, I will always keep your heart racing.
02:13I am starting to well up just listening to that. All right, up next, he's a marketing
02:18associate from San Francisco. Say hello to Christian.
02:22Hello, Tara. I'm an ambitious guy, one that settled down with the right woman. I work
02:28very hard. The biggest feature I get most complimented on is my eyes. As you can see,
02:33if you choose me, I can see you and I working together.
02:39And finally, he's a security guard from Florida. Give it up for Jason.
02:48Hi, Tara. My name's Jason. I'm from Jacksonville, Florida. I'm a martial artist, so you know,
02:53I've got all the right moves. But also, I'm a gentleman, so I'll treat you well and you'll
02:58be well protected. You know, if you wear a pink shirt, you always
03:03have to know martial arts. Well, as you see, these guys brought a small,
03:10medium, and large bag with them, right? And each hides a personal secret, otherwise known
03:15as their baggage. Of course, the bigger the bag, the bigger the baggage. This way, Tara
03:19will know what to expect when she picks one of these guys for a date. Gentlemen, it is
03:24time to reveal your smallest piece of baggage. Let's start with Torrin.
03:34Oh. Really?
03:38I have two neck piercings. I do. Right here.
03:44You heard it. You heard it. And you know, I don't even actually wear jewelry,
03:50so dating a guy that wears more jewelry than me is...
03:53It could be a problem. It could be a little weird.
03:55Actually, it really started from a form of self-expression, because I like to express
03:59myself. If I was going to put something, I didn't want to put it on my face, but I wanted
04:03some everybody to be able to see it. Are there any piercings we don't see?
04:07No. No. What you see is what I have. Christian.
04:15Oh, no. Creepy.
04:18I've always got my eyes on you. I sleep with my eyes open.
04:23That's just creepy. I just don't... You know, you never know if you're awake or not. I could
04:28be talking to you, middle conversations. They're not like this open, but they're just
04:32kind of like halfway medium open. I mean, you go like this, I don't see anything.
04:38It could be worse. He could have not-so-pretty eyes, so there you go.
04:41Well, that's good. Jason, show us your baggage.
04:49Oh, no, no. I talk during movies.
04:52Oh, no. Oh, that's...
04:53Oh, Jason. You're the guy. You're the guy that we all stand up and go, shut up!
05:00I'm trying to enjoy the experience, so it's not like I'm trying to ruin it for anyone.
05:03It's just a lot of times, at best, I can just keep it to myself and...
05:11All right. You've seen their small baggage, right? And you've heard what they have to say.
05:15But when we come back, it's our deal breaker round. And you'll see what the guys are hiding
05:20in their medium-sized bags. Find out whose baggage is getting the heave-ho right after this.
05:30The Newlywed Band
05:41Welcome back to Baggage, where singles seek romance by revealing their shady secrets.
05:46Now, before the break, we saw what was inside the guys' smallest bags.
05:50We've got Torrin, who's got two bolts on his neck.
05:54Christian, who's wide-eyed in bed.
05:57And Jason, who talks during movies.
06:00Well, Tara, it's time to prepare yourself for an even bigger piece of baggage.
06:04This is the deal breaker round.
06:06Now, here in front of me are the guys' medium-sized bags, which I'm going to open.
06:11They're placed here randomly, so Tara won't know which bag belongs to which guy.
06:16Once she decides which of these is her deal breaker,
06:19the man who claims that bag will be going home.
06:22It is time to reveal more baggage.
06:28Bag number one.
06:35My job is my number one priority.
06:41Bag number two.
06:51I'm into group sex.
06:57Let the record show, I'm just reading that.
07:03Bag number three.
07:10My mom comes before my girlfriends.
07:14There's a joke there, but...
07:21What are you thinking?
07:25Bag number one here, we have my mom comes before my girlfriends.
07:29Wow, mama's boy.
07:32Does he live at home?
07:34What if mom doesn't like me?
07:36Yeah, if she doesn't like you, that's a problem.
07:38I'm into group sex.
07:45Remember, you're talking to me.
07:48Bag number three.
07:50My job is my number one priority.
07:53I don't have to be number one.
07:55I don't even have to be number two.
07:57You can be just part of the group.
07:59Oh, no, you're not.
08:01But there has to be some kind of a balance.
08:03Oh, yeah.
08:04Okay, so which of these is a deal breaker,
08:07because whoever that baggage belongs to,
08:11well, that person's going home.
08:14No.
08:16You know, I definitely have to say that my deal breaker is...
08:24The guy that's into group sex.
08:33That's not medium baggage, that's huge.
08:36Yeah, the idea is that sex should be intimate between just two people.
08:41Yeah.
08:44I'm not a jealous person, but I'm a jealous person.
08:47Yeah.
08:48Does that make sense?
08:49Okay.
08:51Does that make sense?
08:52Okay.
08:53Guys, it's time to claim your baggage.
09:04Ah!
09:08Oh.
09:09Oh!
09:11Oh!
09:14You're kidding me!
09:17Oh, my gosh, Tori.
09:19My motto is caring, sharing.
09:22Yeah, I'm sorry, Torin, it's time to pack up and go.
09:25Thank you, Jerry.
09:28But don't worry, all of our eliminated contestants
09:31get six months of perfectmatch.com online dating service,
09:35so maybe Torin will find somebody who can handle his baggage.
09:39The two guys remain, of course, because we have Jason here,
09:43whose mom comes before his girlfriends,
09:46and we have Christian, whose job is his number one priority,
09:50and we're going to find out what's behind their baggage,
09:53so why don't you guys just join me here on the hot seat, okay?
09:59You know, when I first saw Tara, I thought there'd be some potential,
10:02but as it turns out, I think she's just a little bit too conservative,
10:05and she wouldn't fit in our group anyway.
10:08Well, welcome to the hot seat, where we turn things up a notch.
10:11Now, our singles have shared two big secrets,
10:13and it's only fair that Tara gets to hear the stories behind their baggage.
10:17Okay, Tara, why don't we start here with Christian,
10:20and Christian says his job is his number one priority.
10:24You know, I've dated guys in the past, and you'll send them a text message
10:27or maybe call and leave a message, and then they don't get back to you.
10:31Are you that busy? Seriously?
10:33The job that I have, I run a promotional marketing company,
10:36so I run, like, a lot of movie premieres, concerts, conventions, charity events.
10:39I just kind of want to have myself financially set for my future,
10:42and settle down and relax and enjoy myself, go on vacations, work hard, play later.
10:46Okay, so while Christian is here.
10:50So Christian's hustling you, but here we got Jason.
10:55While Christian's working, Jason's talking to his mom.
10:58Uh-huh.
10:59Why? I'll give you a chance. But why is that a concern?
11:02It seems like a lovely quality, a guy who loves his mother. I mean, don't we all?
11:06I talk to my mom every day, but I'm a mama's girl, you know,
11:09but mom does not, you know, involve herself in my personal life.
11:13Well, as a man dealing with his mother, it's more a matter of prioritizing.
11:17It's a balance, because both of them have to feel like they're number one.
11:21And if you can do that, then there's really not an issue.
11:26She still tuck you in at night?
11:29From across the coast? Nah, brother.
11:32Skyping it.
11:33Nah. See, like I said, it's priorities. I know what my mom's for. That's my mom.
11:36My woman is something totally different.
11:38Okay, so Christian, why should Tara choose you and not Jason?
11:42Just because I'm financially secure. I work hard.
11:45If I work hard in my job, I could probably work hard in a relationship just as well.
11:49And I want to be able to kind of spend my time and go on vacations and trips
11:53and spoil the person that I love and care for.
11:55That was a good answer. And why not Jason?
12:00Why not Jason? Because he'd probably be calling his mom during the movies
12:05or something like that on their date.
12:08Right.
12:10Jason, why should she choose you and not Christian?
12:13Because I'm successful, and I work hard at everything I do, and I'm dedicated to that.
12:17Why would you want to go with this guy? He sleeps with his eyes open because he's afraid he's going to lose his job.
12:21Like I said, I love my mom, but that just shows I know how to treat a woman.
12:29Okay, coming up, we're going to see what's in Christian and Jason's big bags.
12:33And don't forget, Tara has baggage too.
12:36Is she leaving for rehab in three days?
12:40Was she accused of sexual harassment?
12:45Or is she dating five other men right now?
12:50One of these is Tara's baggage. Find out the truth when we come back.

13:13Welcome back to Baggage, where singles share their issues and a chance for love.
13:17Now, I'm here with Tara, a legal secretary from Tyler, Texas, who's looking for a guy to kick up her heels with.
13:23All right. Tara is about to see what's in their two biggest bags and have her final decision.
13:30Now, will she choose Christian, the workaholic with bedroom eyes?
13:35Or Jason, the mama's boy with a kung fu grip?
13:40Gentlemen, it's time to reveal your biggest piece of baggage.
13:47Let us start with Christian.
13:50Oh, my God!
13:52I live with a former lover.
13:58I can explain. Yes.
14:00She's a roommate, and it's very hard to have a good, reliable roommate.
14:04We don't even like each other. That's why I work a lot, too, to get myself out of the house.
14:09If I were to stay over, I would probably choose Christian.
14:14I work a lot, too, to get myself out of the house.
14:17If I were to stay over, that would just be awkward.
14:21Yeah.
14:22Jason, reveal your baggage.
14:36I'm a three-minute man.
14:40Oh, no.
14:43I don't know what the reaction is, but I think that's bragging.
14:51I'm not a three-minute woman.
15:02Well, three minutes is just the first round. I know what I'm doing.
15:05Plus, I like a lot of foreplay, so three minutes is just the start.
15:10I'm going to start with you, Christian. This is your final plea.
15:13Well, I definitely say, give me a shot.
15:16If you want to come over and meet my crazy roommate, I will show you it was a one-time deal, and that was it.
15:22So you shouldn't be able to judge somebody just for what they've done in the past.
15:25Give the person a chance.
15:27And why not Jason?
15:29Why not Jason? She's not a three-minute woman. I don't care what he says.
15:32Three minutes is three minutes.
15:36Jason, it's time for your final plea.
15:39You should choose me because I'm a great man for you. I know how to treat you.
15:42And like I said, this, the three minutes.
15:45Does your mama know you're three minutes?
15:49Don't worry about that. My mom and my woman, like I said, I keep separate.
15:53Not like staying with my former lover.
15:55I'm just a guy living my life, and I know what I'm doing.
15:57Like I said, you're beautiful. I would love to treat you well.
16:00All right.
16:05All right.
16:08It's time to choose.
16:10Will it be Christian, who sleeps with his eyes open,
16:13whose job is his number one priority, and who lives with a former lover?
16:18Or will it be Jason, who talks during movies,
16:22whose mom comes before his girlfriends, and who's a three-minute man?
16:28Tara, send one of these gentlemen packing.
16:33Oh, boy.
16:35This is, these are huge.
16:37Former lover and, yeah.
16:48I'm so sorry.
16:51Jason, you just have too much baggage.
16:56Jason, I'm sorry, but it's time to pack up and go.
16:59All right, Jerry.
17:02You were great. Thank you.
17:04And congratulations, Christian and Tara.
17:13But don't get too happy.
17:15We still have one more bag to open, and that's Tara's.
17:18Now, Christian has to decide if he wants to go out with her
17:21after seeing her big secret.
17:24Is she leaving for rehab in three days?
17:28Was she accused of sexual harassment?
17:32Or is she dating five other men right now?
17:37We're going to find out when we come back.
17:56Welcome back to Baggage.
17:57Our dater, Tara, has just chosen Christian here,
18:00but now, of course, the tables have turned,
18:02and it's his decision.
18:04What's the secret in Tara's big red bag?
18:08Is she leaving for rehab in three days?
18:13Or was she accused of sexual harassment?
18:17Or is she dating five other men right now?
18:22Christian, of those three options,
18:24which is the worst baggage for you?
18:27Which is the one you say,
18:28oh, boy, I don't know if I can handle that.
18:30You know, surprisingly, I'm going to say rehab,
18:33only because I don't really drink at all,
18:35and so it doesn't work into my lifestyle whatsoever,
18:37somebody who drinks.
18:38So if you're going to go to rehab,
18:39obviously you kind of have a drinking problem
18:41that I'm not going to be able to work with.
18:43Okay, all right, very good.
18:45Well, let's see what happens now.
18:48Tara, please reveal your baggage.
18:52Oh, boy.
18:59Oh, no!
19:02I'm dating five other men right now.
19:06Why'd you get rid of the guy with the group?
19:09Yeah, no, I was working for you.
19:11Stop sleeping with him!
19:13No, I'm, no, I can explain.
19:15Explain.
19:16Oh, my God.
19:18This is the first time they're all finding this out, too.
19:21Oh, surprise!
19:24Well, here they are.
19:25Let's bring them out.
19:29Okay, all right.
19:31Kind of just got back into the dating world,
19:33and it's, I keep them all kind of at arm's length,
19:36at a distance, because I can't get hurt again.
19:38They don't even have names, actually, just nicknames.
19:41So what are their nicknames?
19:43You know, Lebanon, and the babe, and New York,
19:47and hottie, hottie.
19:50Not one of them has actually stepped up to the plate
19:53to be the person that I really want to be exclusive with.
19:57Gotcha.
19:58So that is what I'm looking for.
20:00And his nickname now is?
20:03Eyes.
20:06Wide open.
20:08Okay.
20:10She's dating five other men, Christian.
20:13Is this baggage something that you can handle?
20:17Well, that just means I have to step up to the plate
20:19and prove myself that I'm better than the rest of these five guys.
20:24Yes, Terry, I accept your baggage.
20:27Congratulations!
20:32Whoa!
20:34Oh, we got a great date planned for you guys,
20:36a delicious dinner for two.
20:38This might be the start of something special.
20:41Remember, love blossoms when we share each other's baggage.
20:45We'll see you next time.
20:47Congratulations.
20:49Wonderful.
20:51Nice job.
20:55I really think I had to go with somebody that was going to accept my baggage
20:58because it's pretty big baggage.
21:01So that just means I have to eliminate those other five guys in your life,
21:04become that one and only.
