    The following day, the cocktail party is canceled and replaced by a pool party. Sydney gives Peter the choice of whom to believe, but multiple other women express to Peter that they think Alayah is fake, “turning it on” for the cameras, and isn’t there for him.

    Victoria P. tells Peter that Alayah asked her to lie to the producers about them knowing each other, as they competed together in Miss USA 2019. She claims that they weren't friends and only spent three hours together in total during their time in Miss USA.

    Controversy

    During week five, contestant Victoria Fuller won a group date challenge, where she was chosen to appear on the March digital cover of Cosmopolitan with Weber. Shortly after the episode that featured Fuller's win aired, Cosmopolitan editor-in-chief Jessica Pels – who appeared in the episode and selected Fuller as the winner – published an online letter which stated that the magazine would not be running the cover with Fuller, due to Fuller's involvement with a clothing brand that featured a "White Lives Matter" tagline. [58]

    In the letter, Pels stated that "unequivocally, the White Lives Matter movement does not reflect the values of the Cosmo brand," adding "we stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter, and any cause that fights to end injustices for people of color." Fuller had previously modeled for clothing brand WLM Apparel, which uses the tagline "White Lives Matter" to promote the conservation of the white marlin. The tagline has been described by nongovernmental organizations such as the Southern Poverty Law Center as "a racist response to the civil rights movement Black Lives Matter" and "a neo-Nazi group that is growing into a movement as more and more white supremacist groups take up its slogans and tactics." [59]

    During week eight, Weber's ex-girlfriend, Merissa Pence, made an appearance to warn Peter about contestant Victoria Fuller's reputation in her hometown of Virginia Beach. [60]
