In Season 1, Episode 9 — the audience met Juliet, a British dance instructor, and her mystery date, Cole. Well, not so fast. As soon as he walked up — totally naked, of course — she greeted him with a mixture of laughter and underlying dread. Awkward — the two had met before. Us Weekly recapped the moment. “I’ve actually worked with Cole before on a job,” she admitted, adding, “Obviously, I don’t know him this well.”
After the awkward reunion of sorts, the couple went on a canoe ride with only one major splinter incident. When Juliet and Cole made it to dry land the two bounced on a trampoline together with no support in sight. The couple didn’t hate each other, which is as much as one can hope for in this scenario. So, Juliet invited Cole back to the villa. He decided to drink too much but delivered the sweet line, “Seeing you ignited my heart.” How cute! However, he followed it with, “You’ve got great t**s.” As Us Weekly summarized, when Cole “finally tries to pop a pimple on her cheek, Juliet officially calls it a (disappointing) night.”
Surprisingly, Cole’s clumsy grooming attempt didn’t completely blow it for him, as Juliet ended up choosing him in the selection ceremony. But they did save a little cringe for last with this update on how things went post-show: “They’ve confirmed that friends can be lovers … many times over.”
