Before taking a knee in the finale, Spurlock expressed concern about getting engaged to Izzo after only a few weeks of dating. “My heart tells me to get engaged, but my gut tells me not to,” Spurlock said in an on-camera interview.
In the end, Spurlock decided to follow his heart instead of his head, and Izzo felt like they had a “once-in-a-lifetime love.”

Russell was hoping for an offer from Jones, but had reservations. “Why is an engagement, specifically, the only way for you to believe that I … see a future with you?” he asked Russell in the finale.
Russell felt that Jones’s inability to “fully reciprocate” her feelings caused “suspicion”. But eventually she told Jones, “I can’t imagine myself leaving you,” and they left Mexico as a couple.
