Boy Meets Boy: Episode 4
"From now on out, it comes down to who has chemistry with James." —Franklin
With only six Mates left, the pressure is on. Each guy knows that the next thing he says or does may be the difference between survival and elimination.
Today's group date begins with horseback riding. For Darren, it's his first time on a horse and he's a little uneasy. Robb has problems of his own atop the last horse, stuck at the back of the pack in a cloud of everyone else's dust.
"I'm here to build a relationship, not just win a game." —Brian
At the end of the trail, James pulls a name from a hat for a one-on-one: lunch with Brian. In his first opportunity to be alone with James, Brian dispels the notion that, as a bartender, he's inclined to be promiscuous. James is quite happy to hear that Brian is looking for the same things he is - a serious, monogamous relationship.
The guys are reunited for a hike, followed by another one-on-one, this time with Robb. The elements conspire against Robb once again as dust and wind interfere with their conversation. James asks Robb how he would feel if he were sent home, a question he will later pose to many of the other Mates. Robb replies that he would be quite disappointed.
The limo ride home offers another one-on-one opportunity. James pulls Franklin's name from the hat, and the two share champagne as they converse.
"A part of me is welling up with fear. What if, after all is said and done, I pick somebody who is playing a game?" —James
Andra rejoins the men for a communal dinner, and for dessert James gets another one-on-one, here with Darren. Their encounter ends with a quick kiss, an intimate moment that doesn't escape the notice of Franklin.
The party gets kicked up a notch with the arrival of two male strippers. The competitive juices are flowing as each Mate tries to out-lap dance the next, with James as the lucky, if somewhat embarrassed, beneficiary of their efforts.
In his last one-on-one of the day, James escorts Sean back to the Mates' House. Sean seems to hurt his chances with ambiguous answers to James' questions.
In the last one-on-one before the next elimination, Wes prepares breakfast in bed for James. In that intimate setting, the two men bond, with James seeing a side of Wes that's less showy and more down-to-earth.
In the penultimate elimination, James bids farewell to Darren and Robb, both gay, and Sean, secretly straight and quite eager to return to his girlfriend. Then host Dani Behr reveals the final twist: one of the three remaining guys - Brian, Franklin, Wes - is actually straight.
"As long as I'm comfortable with who I am, then I think that's all that really matters." —Robb
