00:00What would you do if you were single and living in New York City and you came home to find
00:13out that your entire family and your entire town had set you up to find love?
00:18Jessica's about to find out.
00:25I'm Ashley Williams.
00:26I'm here in McDonough for Small Town Setup.
00:30Jessica's mom, Miss Bobby, and her brother, Justin, hope she can find love in McDonough.
00:36Thirty-one-year-old Jessica moved to New York City to become a high-powered lawyer.
00:41She has found success in life, but love has been a little bit more elusive until now.
00:47We're about to embark on an incredible journey filled with heart, hope, and a big dose of
00:54local magic.
00:55McDonough!
00:56Community!
00:57People might actually fall in love right here in this town square.
01:03Hi!
01:05We're just here finding love.
01:06Yes, me too!
01:07Woohoo!
01:08You got it, girl!
01:09We got this!
01:12She loves me.
01:24Miss Bobby?
01:25Ashley!
01:26Oh, my God!
01:27Hi!
01:28No, I can't believe this is you.
01:29It's me.
01:30Oh, my God.
01:31I promise it's me.
01:32You know how long I've been trying?
01:33Come on.
01:34Come on in, honey.
01:35Thank you so much for having us.
01:36It's in your gorgeous home.
01:37I brought you some treats from Queen Bee Coffee.
01:39Perfect.
01:40Honey, you know me already.
01:41Come on.
01:42Come on back here.
01:43Let's go.
01:44I'm Bobby.
01:45I live in McDonough, Georgia, and I'm the mother of Jessica.
01:48The time has come!
01:49Yes, indeed!
01:51I am so excited.
01:52And I am Justin, and I am the brother of Jessica.
01:57Fill me in a little bit here about what's going on with Jessica.
02:01She is amazing.
02:03She is like the life of the party.
02:05She enjoys life.
02:07She has a career.
02:08She is very smart.
02:09She's a lawyer in New York.
02:11But there's something missing, and that's the love of her life.
02:15So, yes.
02:16So, she hasn't found love yet?
02:19No.
02:20What you think, Justin?
02:22I grew up with her, right?
02:24I am probably the best candidate to find her love.
02:29You know, when her father passed away, that's been about 10 years ago.
02:33He's been a big brother to her.
02:35He just kind of stepped in that role at a higher level.
02:39First of all, I'm so sorry for your loss.
02:41And also, thank goodness for this guy right here.
02:45He stepped right on in there, I'm telling you.
02:48Why is it important that we work on this right now?
02:52I'm going to tell you.
02:53Jessica, she's very strong-willed.
02:54She's very career-oriented.
02:57And if we don't do something about it, she may keep going just like that until she just
03:01probably, maybe, maybe run into somebody.
03:04But right now, we're going to do it right now for her, because we know that it's time.
03:08Why is this guy in McDonough?
03:10They grew up here.
03:11If it ain't McDonough, it ain't it, all right?
03:13That's why we're going to find it here in McDonough.
03:15How long has she been single?
03:17Ooh.
03:18All her life, she had to fight.
03:20Oh.
03:21Oh.
03:22She's been single about 10 years.
03:25She's been single for 10 years.
03:26Yes.
03:27In a perfect world, who would be the guy for Jessica?
03:32Someone that has swag, that has substance, got it going on, definitely going to be pleasant
03:37to the eyes.
03:38For sure.
03:39Yes.
03:40Yeah.
03:41Trying to figure out if my husband has swag.
03:43Yeah.
03:45Definitely confident, and most importantly, God-fearing.
03:48I accepted the call of my life as a minister.
03:52We go to church, we sing, we dance, we enjoy getting together at church and have church
03:58functions.
03:59That's a big part of our life and our family.
04:02One more thing.
04:03Go.
04:04Men, if you're out there, I think my mom can agree, right?
04:08I need you to carry around a can of Raid, right?
04:11Because she does not like bugs at all.
04:13Right?
04:15That is not what I thought you were going to say.
04:19Yes.
04:20Okay, so no bugs.
04:21No bugs.
04:22If you can't kill a bug, eliminate it.
04:24So we're going to go over to the town hall.
04:27We're going to go meet some members of your communities, your neighbors, your town, your
04:32friends, your family, and see how they could help us find the perfect match for her.
04:39I am so excited.
04:40I like it.
04:41I like it.
04:42Let's rock and roll.
04:43Do you think they're going to be able to help us?
04:44They know Jessica.
04:45They love Jessica.
04:46They want to find love for her, too.
04:49So what happens if she doesn't find love?
04:51Like what is at stake?
04:53Everything.
04:54The pressure is on.
04:57We got a mission to accomplish.
04:58That's right.
04:59We called the whole town to McDonald's.
05:00We on a mission.
05:01All right, let's go.
05:02Let's go.
05:03I want to meet these friends.
05:04Yeah, let's go.
05:05Yes, can't wait.

05:09I know.
05:10Oh, check it out now.

05:22I'm Ashley.
05:23I hear that you're Jessica's best friend.
05:24I am.

12:11Plus, you know, hey, we don't know what, you know,
12:14if this your husband, then hey, we
12:16might get a chance to get you back here in McDonough.
12:19See, now it's all coming out.
12:21That's the objective.
12:22Now it's getting back to the community.
12:23You've been singing long enough, Jessica.
12:25You've been singing over 10 years, girl.
12:26You've been singing long enough.
12:28I don't think there's a way for me to get out of this
12:31this weekend that I would be able to get out of these dates.
12:33I listen to my mom.
12:36She don't play.
12:36Yeah, I'm going on the dates.
12:38Do you trust us?

13:29OK, OK.

14:34Like me, right?
14:35Like that.
14:36OK.
14:37Just like that.
14:38What are you looking for in a woman?
14:40Best friend.
14:41Just as simple as I can put it, right?
14:43Where do you see yourself in the spiritual realm?
14:46I do a lot of church online.
14:47No matter what you believe in, just being a great human
14:49is what's involved.
14:50Get his picture.
14:51Yeah, you might need a picture of Kion.
14:54Got it?
14:55All right.
14:55I think we're about to go meet Cody.
14:57Cody?

15:04Where'd you grow up at, Cody?
15:05Columbus.
15:05Columbus, Georgia.
15:06Oh, yeah, you look country, boy.
15:08I'm country.
15:09Yeah, OK.
15:09I'm sure you can hear it in the accent.
15:11Yeah.

15:14what you bring to the table, what you offer.
15:16This my baby girl we talking about.

15:20Someone that's mature.
15:23Someone that's ready to start a family.
15:24So do you think you can handle a strong woman?
15:26Absolutely.

15:42I guess we are.
15:43So I'm ready to meet this next gentleman.
15:45What's going on?
15:46Hunter, Justin.
15:47Pleasure to meet you, Justin.
15:48Nice to meet you, sir.
15:49Tell me a little about yourself.
15:50I'm 27.
15:51OK.
15:52I was born and raised up in Marietta, Georgia.
15:54Y'all familiar with Atlanta?
15:55Absolutely, yeah.
15:56I serve real estate out there, so yeah.
15:57Me too.
15:58I'm a realtor.
15:59Whoa.
15:59See, she might be up to something.
16:01It's the setup.
16:02That's crazy.
16:02We want to talk for sure.
16:03Yeah, for sure.
16:04That's crazy.
16:05OK.
16:06I'm right here.
16:06Justin.
16:08What, girl?
16:09I've been looking for y'all.
16:10Where y'all been?
16:12Who my man is right here, though?
16:14How you doing, bro?
16:14This is my buddy, Rex.
16:15Rex.
16:16Who I've been telling you about.
16:18Oh, T-Rex.
16:18What's going on?
16:19Nice to meet you.
16:20How you doing?
16:21How you doing?
16:23Wait, y'all don't sit now.
16:24OK, here we go.
16:25Here we go.
16:26Here we go.
16:26No, no, no, no.
16:27This is why I'm here.
16:29Because he is for Jessica.
16:31Hold on.
16:31I thought we had something going on.
16:33We already had.
16:33Yes, yes.
16:34So let's find out some more about Rex.
16:36So how old are you, Rex?
16:3741.
16:3841.
16:39Where are you financially?
16:40Financially, I'm very good.
16:42One of 10.
16:4310 been the best.
16:43Nine.
16:44Nine?
16:45Hunter, what did you say?
16:46My 10 is a long way from now, for sure.
16:49But my 10 is big.
16:50OK, good.
16:51So you and Marietta.
16:52Yes.
16:53And my sister, Jessica, is down here in McDonough.
16:55Right.
16:55She calls you.
16:57There's a wasp in my room, and I can't get out.
16:59You got to come kill it.
17:00What's your response?
17:01To kill a wasp?
17:02I don't think I would drive there
17:03far just to kill a wasp.
17:04So Hunter, for you, if you and Marietta, you get that call,
17:06what's your response?
17:08We're going to make something out of it.
17:09Yeah, we'll make a date out of it.
17:10Why not?
17:10Hunter, come over here.
17:11I want you to stand.
17:12You want me to come on around?
17:13OK.
17:14That's good.
17:14I need to see who's taller.
17:16You want to get a picture of both of them?
17:17Yeah.
17:18You got your best pose now.
17:20OK.
17:25We got to go ahead and make us a decision.
17:27Oh, child.
17:28Let me sit down.
17:29Oh.
17:30Oh, boy.
17:31We had Caleb.
17:33OK, Caleb.
17:34Kion.
17:34Cody.
17:35Hunter.
17:36Rex.
17:37Who is your top three?
17:38What you like about Cody?
17:40I mean, like his top attributes.
17:41I like his authenticity, but his top attribute
17:44is, of course, his face.
17:45That's pretty.
17:46That's what I like about Cody, too.
17:48Who would you pick after Cody?
17:49OK.
17:50Is Caleb in the picture?
17:52No, I don't think he's in the picture.
17:54He was a good, nice guy, but he seemed to be younger in my eyes.
17:58So that means he eliminated.
18:00OK, so out of Hunter and Rex, what's
18:02your favorite thing about Hunter?
18:03His swag and the way he kind of came off confident.
18:08So what about Rex?
18:09I like his swag now.
18:11So the color of his suit was definitely fire.
18:13Yeah, but I didn't like the answer about the bug.
18:16But I like the honesty, though.
18:19You know, I like Cody, number one,
18:21for his face, walk, and talk.
18:23What about Kion?
18:24Kion, number five.
18:25Kion was good.
18:26He just wasn't better than the rest.
18:28Exactly.
18:28You got Cody, Hunter, and Rex.
18:29That's it.
18:31I like that.
18:31OK, so we got our guys.
18:33Yeah.
18:34So I think we should go home and plan these dates.
18:35OK, cool.
18:36Let's do it.
18:37All right.
18:38I want to wake up, but I'm not waking up.
18:45Instead, I'm faking out my life.
18:51So I'm getting started for my first day,
18:53and I'm starting to feel a bit nervous.
18:56Having the entire town in my relationship business
18:59is, it's uneasy.
19:01I like to approve a lot of things,
19:02like who exactly are the people of the town?
19:06Who exactly are we involving here?
19:08My family really does want me to find, like, genuine love.
19:12They really do know me.
19:14I'm going into it with an open heart,
19:16and we'll see what happens.
19:17I'm ready to say goodbye to my daydreams.
19:26Hello.
19:27Hello.
19:30Hello, everybody.
19:33OK, how are we?
19:35You guys have a good day.
19:38We have three gentlemen that were chosen
19:45by Miss Bobby and by Justin.
19:47The people that were chosen were Hunter.
19:49Woo!
19:52Number two choice was Rex.
19:54Woo!
19:55Woo!
19:58And number three choice was Cody.
20:01Woo!
20:04And Jessica is about to go on the dates right now,
20:08and we are going to watch the dates together live.
20:12Woo!
20:15I want you all to pay very close attention, all right?
20:18Because at the end of this, I'm going
20:20to ask each one of you what your thoughts and feelings were
20:25and you are going to write down your vote
20:27and put it into a ballot box.
20:29Woo!
20:32Without further ado, I'd like to welcome
20:34you all to tune in live to Jessica's date with Hunter.
20:39Woo!
20:40Woo!
20:41Woo!
20:44Every now and then I get lonely,
20:47wishing for somebody that can hold me.
20:52Searching for something, but it's not around.
20:55Oh, wow.
20:56Jessica?
20:57Yes?
20:58I'm Hunter.
20:59Good to meet you.
21:01It's nice to meet you.
21:02Yeah, yeah.
21:03You look amazing.
21:04How are you?
21:06You look nice.
21:08Hunter is so handsome.
21:09Oh, my god.
21:10Oh!
21:11Yeah.
21:12This is so cool.
21:13Look at this, right?
21:14Biggest slide here, I'm assuming.
21:15Yeah.
21:16No, only slide.
21:17Only slide.
21:18Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:19Awesome.
21:20Three, two, one.
21:22Woo!
21:23Woo!
21:24Woo!
21:25That wasn't bad.
21:26That was actually so much fun.
21:27Woo!
21:28You hungry?
21:29Yeah.
21:30I could definitely eat.
21:31Let's do it.
21:32There you go.
21:33Those look amazing.
21:34Whoa.
21:35It's so good.
21:36Thank you so much.
21:37You have spoons and napkins right here.
21:38Of course.
21:39You just filled the stew.
21:41Awesome.
21:42Let me grab you.
21:43Hope you enjoy.
21:44Thank you so much.
21:52It looks really good.
21:54Here you are.
21:55Aw, he grabbed a spoon for her.
21:56Let me just grab that if I can.
21:57I'm going to lean this way.
21:58Yeah.
21:59And then...
22:00Oh, yeah.
22:01Oh, my gosh.
22:02Honestly, let's push that ice cream over.
22:03Hold that still.
22:05For sure.
22:06Boom.
22:07There you go.
22:08Thanks.
22:09Have a bit.
22:10Thanks.
22:11Very smart.
22:12Aw.
22:13Oh, it's so good.
22:14What are some things that you, like, look for in, like, a partner?
22:17Something's flying in my face.
22:18I know.
22:19Something's trying to...
22:20Like, get me?
22:21Oh, a bug.
22:22Uh-oh.
22:23I heard you don't like bugs, by the way.
22:24I literally hate bugs.
22:25I have a vendetta.
22:26You do?
22:27Against bugs.
22:28Me too?
22:29I swear to God.
22:30Okay, so I'm glad we shared that.
22:31Yeah.
22:32So that we can attack them.
22:33I won't be.
22:34I'll do it.
22:35I heard you ain't doing it.
22:36I'm sorry.
22:37I don't want to give you the wrong impression.
22:38I won't be doing it.
22:39For sure.
22:40No, I'm all about it.
22:41I'm all about it.
22:42Awesome.
22:43Yeah.
22:44So, aside from, like, looks, everybody likes good-looking people.
22:45Yeah.
22:46Obviously.
22:47Somebody that's smart, somebody that's ambitious, and a good energy.
22:49Well, thank you.
22:50Yeah.
22:51Aww, that's sweet.
22:52Aww.
22:53Aww.
22:54But also, looking for someone that is very kind-hearted.
22:57Yeah.
22:58That was, like, a big deal for me.
22:59Also, someone that shares, like, in faith.
23:00I was raised a Christian.
23:01Mm-hmm.
23:02And I'm, like, on a spirit—I guess you could say—it sounds so corny, but it's, like,
23:05a spiritual journey.
23:06Mm-hmm.
23:07I understand, because I feel like, in a way, like, we've all been there.
23:10It's your journey.
23:11It's your experience.
23:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:13It wouldn't be a journey if everybody was at the same place.
23:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:16For sure.
23:17Do you have any future goals that you see, like, in the next—that sounds very interview-ish—in
23:20the next three years.
23:21When you see yourself.
23:22When you see yourself in five years, yeah.
23:23I know.
23:24Yeah.
23:25No, I mean, marriage, kids, lake house.
23:26Yeah, lake house would be nice.
23:27So.
23:28Do you have any reservations for, like, me living in New York and you being here?
23:29Have you ever done a long-distance relationship?
23:30No, I haven't, though.
23:31I haven't either.
23:32Okay.
23:33So, first time.
23:34So, it'll be first time.
23:35Yeah.
23:36I mean, it comes with its own set of challenges, you know what I mean?
23:37Mm-hmm.
23:38But I think communication is key.
23:39It's been pretty exciting.
23:40Yeah.
23:41This has been a—it's been a solid first date, for sure.
23:42Okay.
23:43Totally.
23:44Even though my hair is blowing everywhere.
23:45It looks great.
23:46It looks great.
23:47So annoying.
23:48You're fine.
23:49You're fine.
23:50Aw.
23:51Look at him.
23:52Aw.
23:53That's right.
23:54Get down from her.
23:55Oh.
23:56Oh.
23:57Oh.
23:58Oh.
23:59Oh.
24:00Oh.
24:01Oh.
24:02Oh.
24:03Oh.
24:04Oh.
24:05Oh.
24:06Oh.
24:07Oh.
24:08Oh.
24:09Oh.
24:10Oh.
24:11Oh.
24:12Oh.
24:13Oh.
24:14Oh.
24:15Oh.
24:16Oh.
24:17Oh.
24:18Oh.
24:19Oh.
24:20Oh.
24:21Oh.
24:22Oh.
24:23Oh.
24:24Oh.
24:25Oh.
24:26Oh.
24:27Oh.
24:28You made the east coast the city.
24:29Woo!
24:30Yeah!
24:31Oh!
24:32Yeah!
24:33Yeah!
24:34Oh, my goodness.
24:35What did we think of that?
24:36Yeah!
24:37Yup.
24:38Well done, Hunter!
24:39We'll run away, it's here to stay.
24:43And I picked out that outfit.
24:45The outfit, sis!
24:46I'm excited to meet Rex.
24:49I'm hoping that he has a little facial hair,
24:51and I'm hoping that he's obviously handsome.
24:55Hi.
24:55How are you?
24:56Nice to meet you.
24:57Jessica.
24:58Nice to meet you all.
24:59Flowers for the ladies.
25:00Yeah, of course.
25:01Nice to meet you.
25:02So sweet.
25:02Start it out right.
25:04I set up some stuff for us.
25:06I just need you to take a walk with me,
25:07and we get to know each other better.
25:09OK, sounds great.
25:09OK, cool, cool.
25:10Oh, this is so, oh my god.
25:12So I put this together just for me and you.
25:15Super cute.
25:16So I have a card game.
25:18OK.
25:19And the card game is going to help me and you
25:20get to know each other a little bit better.
25:22So ask away.
25:23Let's get it.
25:26Huh.
25:27OK.
25:28What does family mean to you?
25:29Everything.
25:30Really?
25:31Yeah.
25:31I'm very close with my mother and my father.
25:33I talk to my dad every day, or every other day.
25:37My mom, we play games on the phone,
25:39and we talk all the time.
25:40So take her out for a few concerts and dinner.
25:43Oh my god.
25:44Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:45So it'll be fun.
25:46It'll be super nice.
25:47A little park.
25:47That's so nice.
25:48Yeah.
25:49So I can tell you're close to your family.
25:50I am.
25:51Yeah, we're very close-knit, like super family-oriented.
25:54This is actually a very non-traditional route for me,
25:58because usually I would not, like, have someone
26:03meet my family so soon.
26:04Right, right.
26:05Same with me.
26:05I'm so protective of them.
26:07That's how close they are and how special they are to me.
26:10How's your relationship with God?
26:11Do you have one?
26:12God is number one in my life.
26:14Yeah, of course.
26:15I am Christian, active in church.
26:17Since you live in New York, what does dating
26:20look like for you?
26:22I definitely think I would be open to a long-distance
26:24relationship.
26:25Yeah.
26:26Because, you know, sometimes in long-distance relationships,
26:30like, if you were to come in town,
26:31I could just make you feel like the best of the best.
26:34And then when you leave, it's just
26:35kind of like, you know, toning down.
26:37But I don't want you to feel that way.
26:39So I want to keep, like, the same level when you're here
26:42as also is when you're away.
26:44Aw.
26:45Aw.
26:46Aw.
26:46Aw.
26:47OK, Rick.
26:49Aw.
26:49OK, Rick.
26:51Yeah.
26:51All right, cool.
26:52Sure.
26:53Oh, my God.
26:55Now, did my brother tell you I hate bugs?
26:58Yeah, he told me.
26:58OK.
26:59Because he's like.
27:00I want to tell you the scenario he gave me.
27:01He gave you a story?
27:03He gave me, no, not a story, but a scenario
27:05of what would I do.
27:07Tell me.
27:08So he told me.
27:09Yeah.
27:11So he told me, if you call me at, like, 1 in the morning
27:14and want me to come kill a wasp, what would I do?
27:20Would I drive an hour and a half to come kill the wasp?
27:24Uh-huh.
27:25And your answer?
27:26Would you do something like that?
27:28Ah.
27:29OK, wrong answer.
27:31I'm sick of ribs.
27:32OK.
27:37So if the wasp is in there, like, what are you doing?
27:40Oh, I'm going to get a hotel.
27:41I'm getting out of there.
27:42Over a wasp?
27:43What am I supposed to do?
27:44Capture it and let it go.
27:46Capture it with what?
27:48A cup, you like, just capture it and then, you know.
27:50Let me tell you right now, I'm not doing that.
27:53Yup, so I really, really, really appreciate you for coming out.
27:57I appreciate you for inviting me out.
28:01Pretty good, guys.
28:02It didn't kill a wasp, though.
28:04But is that a deal breaker?
28:06Is everybody ready for Cody?
28:08Yeah!
28:09Woo!
28:25Hi!
28:27Hi, Jessica!
28:28My name's Cody.
28:29Cody, it's nice to meet you.
28:31Nice to meet you, you're gorgeous.
28:32Aw, thank you.
28:33How are you?
28:34Good, how are you?
28:35I'm doing great.
28:36Thank you for asking.
28:39So.
28:52Are you any good at bowling?
28:54I'm a little good.
28:56I don't know.
28:56I don't know.
28:57What does that mean?
28:58Like, I'm an introvert on the day.
29:00What about you?
29:01I used to bowl in a league back in the day.
29:03Oh, what?
29:04That's actually like a flex.
29:06You want to kick off this bowling?
29:07You ready to get started?
29:08Well, let's see what you got.
29:09I'm scared.
29:24One of us is going to get a strike, I promise you.
29:26Yeah, one of us is going to get one.
29:27I can knock these two down.
29:31Oh.
29:33You're incredible.
29:34You're incredible.
29:38I'm not.
29:39Oh.
29:41I'm really embarrassing myself because I
29:43said I was in a bowling league.
29:44Oh, it's OK.
29:46You might redeem yourself.
29:47It's OK, we're not done yet.
29:48Oh, we have food.
29:53So are you, like, really close with your family?
29:55I am.
29:56Like, I'm there for every holiday, every birthday,
29:58every recital.
29:59I got seven nieces and nephews.
30:01I'm, like, the baby of the family.
30:03Like, all my cousins, they're older than me.
30:06Cody's accent really does remind me of home.
30:09It gives me such a small town feeling.
30:11Anything that my mom and my brother brought up
30:13that you would like to, like, touch on?
30:15Oh, yeah.
30:17You hate bugs.
30:18Yeah, I called my brother.
30:19I'm like, oh, I hate bugs.
30:21Yeah, that was one of his questions, like,
30:23she called you at 7.15 in the morning
30:25and said she had a bug in her room.
30:26What would you do?
30:27If I'm in New York and you're there,
30:28obviously I'm going to figure something else out.
30:30Yeah, I know.
30:31I'll be on the first plane out there.
30:32Oh.
30:33Aw.
30:34Aw.
30:35Oh, nice.
30:39So what about you?
30:40Like, what's your end goal?
30:41Like, where are you trying to get to?
30:42My goal, like, is to be in a relationship.
30:45Like, you know, and I want to get married.
30:46You want kids?
30:47You want all that?
30:48I do.
30:49I want kids.
30:50Do you want a big family?
30:51I'm thinking two kids.
30:52Two or three kids.
30:53No, I agree.
30:54I feel like two kids is good.
30:55My sister has four, and I'm like,
30:57maybe push it a little bit.
30:58Yeah.
30:59They're, like, the sweetest people in New York.
31:00Aw.
31:01Like, they're all, yeah.
31:02They sound sweet.
31:03Um, so did my brother and my mom bring up, like,
31:06how I have, like, this really good relationship with God?
31:09That's exactly what I'm looking for.
31:11I think that's probably, like, on the same page.
31:12OK.
31:13Uh, yeah, I want somebody who puts God first.
31:16Oh, no.
31:17Because that's just how I grew up.
31:19I love that.
31:20Dating's so hard today, you know?
31:22It's so hard.
31:23Yeah, well, you sound very intentional as well.
31:25Ready for, like, a relationship.
31:26Yeah, they're always, like, you're looking at the wrong places
31:28and stuff.
31:29Where do you really look sometimes, you know?
31:30Where do you look?
31:31Yeah.
31:32I mean.
31:33Oh, no.
31:34Oh.
31:35Whoa.
31:36Oh, baby.
31:37Oh, baby.
31:38Oh, baby.

31:40Oh, baby.
31:41Oh, baby.
31:42Oh, baby.
31:43Oh, baby.

31:53That was great.
31:54That was great.
31:55She won.
31:56But I enjoyed this tonight.
31:57I did, too.
31:58It was great.
31:59Great to meet you.
32:00And your waterfall, you're even better in person.
32:02Oh, that's so sweet.
32:03Awesome.
32:04This was a good time.
32:05I really enjoyed meeting you.
32:07Hopefully, we'll do this again soon.
32:08Yeah.
32:09Yeah, hope to see you again soon.
32:10Awesome.
32:11Let's go.
32:12All right.
32:13See you later.
32:14All right.
32:15Bye.
32:16I can't.
32:17Ah!
32:18Ah!
32:19Oh!
32:20Get him outta my face.
32:21Okay. Deep breaths, deep breaths everybody. Stay with me. This was so exciting. I know
32:29everybody's super charged. What I'd like for each of you to do is to come up here,
32:33you're gonna write down, we've got pens, pieces of paper, and I want you to cast
32:36your ballots right in here, all right? And you're gonna write Hunter, Rex, or Cody.
32:42Does everybody understand? So come on up, let's do it!
32:52Team Cody all the way. At first I was like, no, but he won me over, turned me
32:58around, he's gonna do it. Hunter, just understand buddy, you're number one. I voted for Cody
33:06because I just feel like their connection was very, very genuine. Hunter,
33:10I think they had a good connection. Team Rex, he brought flowers on the first day,
33:16women like that. Rex, he was the only one that had a game. Although Caleb didn't make
33:25it, that was my choice. I believe that Hunter had the swag that Jessica needed.
33:33Hi, I'm Ashley. I've been helping your family find you dates. You're so gorgeous.
33:46You have so much to talk about. How do you feel about the fact that your mom and your
33:56brother got together and to talk about the fact that you're single? It was insane. So do you think that she
34:05has the same ideas about who you should be with as you do? I didn't think so at
34:11first, but after my experience this weekend, I'm starting to think that like
34:15she knows me. So you think she was right, and he was right, because they picked
34:19them together, you know? Yeah, they were on to something. It's hard for me to say
34:22they were right. But yeah, they were definitely on to something. I think they
34:27were right. We all watch your dates live together as a group. You looked like you were having so much fun.
34:34I had an amazing time. It felt like that. I did. I had fun. I used to be so strategic about
34:41dating guys and maybe not introducing them to my family with the fear
34:45that if it didn't work out, maybe I would, you know, appear as like a failure.
34:51But it was just like internal things that I really was just like balancing.
34:54And actually, I'm getting emotional. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You don't want to cry? Take a deep breath. No. Okay.
35:02Um. Wait. Oh, honey. Do we have a tissue? I would also remember that the strength in the vulnerability that you're
35:12feeling is so strong and so real. I know, because I'm the same way all day. You got
35:17to hold it up, right? You got to hold up your pride. You got to hold up who you are.
35:21And letting these moments, these moments where you can leak out, these are the
35:26moments where people fall in love with you and where you fall in love. Yeah. And
35:31if you lock up, you're closing off love. I know. Right? It doesn't feel good.
35:35So in terms of tonight, the big thing is that we want to know from you what your
35:41choice is about who you would continue to date. We're gonna meet up with the
35:46town hall, with everybody there. Are you ready to go and make your decision? Go
35:50over? I think so. Let everybody know? Mm-hmm. I think. I got this. Don't tell me right now.
35:56I want you to tell me with everybody there. Okay. All right. Give me a hug!
36:01Now you know we got this love. It's all around.
36:07A big reveal this time, right?
36:09Hello! Welcome!
36:11Hello, hello. Welcome. Come on in.
36:13You guys excited?
36:16We're back! I love it!
36:18Welcome back, y'all.
36:20Thank you for coming out and doing this.
36:22You look so hot, Mark.
36:24You look so fine.
36:26Reveal time is happening.
36:28Are you ready?
36:30Ready!
36:32This is Jessica's first step forward towards the rest of her future, and we are so excited!
36:42How are you feeling right now? What's this like for you?
36:44For me, it has really been so exciting, and I'm praying that my daughter finds romance and finds love.
36:53Time for us to bring out Jessica.
36:55Jessica! Jessica!
36:58Jessica!
37:14There is one big question on everybody's mind.
37:16Did you feel a spark?
37:20I did. I did feel connections.
37:22I definitely felt the spark.
37:24So, as you all know, we all voted, and I have the results.
37:28The community's feelings about who they see you having a future with.
37:33Okay.
37:34Is everybody ready?
37:36Yes!
37:39The person that the community sees you in a serious future with is...
37:47Hunter.
37:54You have great energy.
37:56Aw, thank you.
37:58Awesome. You do, too.
38:00Well, thank you.
38:04Now, we are going to hear who Miss Bobby and Justin see Jessica in a future with.
38:12One, two, three.
38:14Kobe!
38:20I want somebody who puts God first.
38:22That's just how I grew up. That's what I believe, and I'm sticking to it.
38:25Aw, I love that.
38:27What do you think right now?
38:29It's hilarious.
38:31Not funny. Not that funny.
38:33And so, there was one guy, though.
38:41There was one guy, though, that I just, like, couldn't stop thinking about, and...
38:47Hunter! Hunter! Hunter!
38:51So, the person that I chose is...
38:57Hunter.
39:05I'm serious! I'm serious! I'm serious!
39:10Hunter!
39:12How are you?
39:14How you doing, mama?
39:16Hunter! Hunter!
39:18What's up, man? Good to see you.
39:24Hunter, it's been so much fun watching you two get to know each other.
39:27Can you tell us a little bit about how you're feeling right now and what this is like?
39:30I'm glad to be here. You're sweet for that.
39:33I heard y'all saying, Cody, he sounds like a great guy, but...
39:39I'm happy to be here, for sure. I'm happy to be here.
39:43The big question on all of our minds is, what is next for the two of you?
39:52I think I gotta start with getting your phone number.
39:54We should probably do that.
39:56And before you go back to New York, I would love to schedule another date with you.
40:00Same. Same.
40:02We still have a little while. I mean, there's some places open around here.
40:06Would you guys be interested in going and getting a little glass of wine?
40:09Absolutely, yeah.
40:11The date is tonight!
40:17How do you all feel?
40:20I felt like he was very attentive to my baby girl and would take care of her.
40:25So I really, really feel good about that.
40:28So I'm glad you're here, too. Okay?
40:30Welcome to the family.
40:33I'm excited for Jessica, for sure.
40:36And she definitely has my 100% support.
40:40And I like the suit.
40:43Good color, for sure.
40:53I am feeling amazing. I'm definitely excited.
40:56I feel like I made a connection. It was definitely a spark.
40:59You were my pick because I felt like we shared some vulnerable moments.
41:02It had been a while since I had had a date that was so genuine.
41:06I don't know if I had had a date that felt as genuine or different as that one did.
41:10I'm just interested to build something with him.
41:13I think that's something that I'm looking forward to.
41:15Alright, so what are the plans?
41:17Well, after this, we're probably going to go wherever's open.
41:20So we're going to grab a glass of wine.
