However, the couple hasn’t shared their first kiss yet. In the most recent episode, she and Will enjoyed a nice date together and solidified their feelings. The cast opted to send Julia-Ruth Smith and Brendan Mosca into the Truth Booth instead, and they ended up being a perfect match. On the other hand, Sam hasn’t found a connection yet. Are You the One?
