Source Episode 3 started with the men whining about their poor performance, and the fact that one of the girl’s will be joining the blue team; Paul was the only one who seemed to embrace the idea. The ladies loved the idea of splitting up the squabbling duo of Carrie and Elise, and got their wish... Read More
