Stacia and Nate struggled with communication and trust, with Stacia wanting an “I Love You” from Nate before Decision Day, and Nate wanting Stacia to let go of her controlling nature. In the end, they chose to stay married. The same decision was made for expert favorites Lindy and Miguel. They had the least amount of problems throughout the two-month experiment.
