Summary

Another week, another lackluster performance from Mel. This week, the Golden ladies do some very cathartic standup comedy – and really cut Mel down to size. Then, Debbie gets a romantic culinary one-on-one date, during which she gets to do her favorite thing: learn when to put the cheese in the omelette. Mel engages in some serious conversations with several of his frontrunners about their romantic histories and their growing feelings, but it’s mostly the ladies talking. Will Mel learn to loosen up, get vulnerable, and show us all some emotions? Not this week!
