The Dating Lineup

• Joey from Jersey. He's a high-energy straight shooter looking for a woman who can be real.

• David the PR guy. Admittedly, he's not the pinnacle of hotness. Humor is his strong suit.

• Storm the Ex-Player. This personal trainer is now looking for a substantial relationship.

• Natasha the Traveler – She's been to 26 countries but still hasn't found the right guy.

• Jessica the Musician – This Southern singer looks to ditch her insecurities inside the darkroom.

• Kym the Nitpicker – Picky in the past when it comes to looks, she's hoping to change her ways.

Group Date Highlights/Lowlights

• Joey does what he calls "the Ray Charles wrist check" by shaking each lady's hand and squeezing their wrist to see if they are thin or heavy. Natasha's possibly plump wrist is a turnoff.

• Storm's name is a popular subject. The ladies wonder if he's a stripper or one of the X-Men.

• Joey asks how the women will feel about their bodies after they have a child. Obviously, he can't see the baffled looks on just about everyone's faces. Natasha believes that if a guy is more clueless than rude that it's kind of endearing, so Joey may be her man.

The One-On-One Dates

• Dave gets dates from both Natasha and Jessica. Both go well, as he shares awkward high school tales with Jessica and has Natasha laughing up a storm.

• Speaking of Storm, he has a date with Kym. They both have parents who divorced at an early age. There's a quick kiss on the cheek.

• Natasha has a date with Joey. She digs his honesty and kind of digs him. Joey, however, got the feeling she may be a little plump after their goodbye hug.

The Compatibility Date (matches based on pre-interviews and expert analysis)

• With a 91% compatibility score, Dave and Jessica share a nice little kiss on the cheek.

• With an 87% compatibility score, Storm and Kym cover some heavy topics during their date, but it's all very comfortable.

• With a 78% compatibility score, Joey asks Natasha to stand up to feel her tummy. He realizes she's actually thin and curvy. He speaks of an old girlfriend who was thin until "she blew up like a tick." The date takes a nosedive, though Joey doesn't see it that way. Then again, it was dark.

The Final Dates (Ladies' Choice)

• No surprise, Kym picks Storm and that previous kiss on the cheek moves over to the lips.

• Jessica makes a date with Dave and sings him a sweet song.

• With Natasha unwilling to go anywhere near Jersey Joey, she asks David out on a date. This doesn't sit well with Jessica, but Dave is happy sit with Natasha for a nice little makeshift picnic.

Reveal Day, Part One

• Having not gotten an invitation to be revealed in the light, Jersey Joey heads home sight unseen.

• Storm likes what he sees when the light shines upon Kym. She thinks he's cute but is a little wary about the pirate-like hoop earring.

• David likes what he sees in Jessica and Natasha, who are impressed with Dave's good looks, too.

Reveal Day, Part Two

• Storm waits on the balcony for Kym, who struggles to overcome her picky ways. Earring or not, she likes this guy and joins him on the balcony. You could say Kym weathered the Storm.

• Jessica is waiting on the balcony while Natasha hangs in a piano room. Both ladies wait patiently until Dave makes his decision. The balcony door opens and Dave steps into Natasha's arms. Hand-in-hand, they walk out the front door right past Natasha. Wonder if it's too late for her to catch Jersey Joey before he heads back to the Garden State. Hope so.
