Kat, you crossed paths with Chazz [Bryant] at one point. Jared, you crossed with Chanse [Corbi]. But what was it about the two of you? Kat, what was it about Jared that caught your attention?

Kat: His self-awareness and his intelligence was the number one thing. Then when we first kissed out of the challenges, [that's] when I first felt a very big spark, and then we talked about that. Before we even explored the relationship side of things, we would have talks with Nadjha [Day], and then I would be expressing my concern about not feeling like I'm drawn to Chazz [Bryant] in a certain way. As much as I wanted it to work, I would keep going on about this spark and this gut feeling. With Jared, I felt that. That's what drew me to him.

Jared, what about you? You're sitting there with heart eyes for Kat, by the way.

Jared: Yeah — it's good to hear nice words about yourself from someone you care about. Initially, right when she walked in, I was so attracted to her — when we were walking in getting prepared to meet other people. Then we developed a bit of a friendship basis, getting an understanding for who we are, because we walked in together and we were able to confide in each other about our previous situations. 

Then there was a truth or dare, where I was dared to kiss my top three, and I saved the best for last, which was Kat. Then we shared another kiss during the dare, but the main one was during a conversation we had on the balcony prior to Casa Amor. That's what had Kat on my mind.

Kat, you didn't couple up with anyone during Casa Amor. Were you confident that gamble was going to pay off?

Kat: I was more confident in the end of everything and [that] what worked out was meant to be, and what's not meant to be won't. I knew our positions were a little different. I was coupled up with Chazz. He was single. I had a good feeling he was going to come back with someone. It didn't stop me from going into the recoupling with the mindset that no matter who he walks in with, I'm shooting my shot and laying it down all on him.
