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.”
Bryant was confident in his relationship with Isichei and knew that they both wanted to be engaged just once in their lives. “Eliza, I want to do this with you,” Bryant told Isichei before popping the question. “I understand what this means for both of us.”

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.
