For the most part, the episode is so concerned with the fact that Colton has never had sex with a human woman that it pretty much ignores his relationships with former Bachelorette Becca Kufrin and his on-and-off relationship with Tia Booth. The season's leading man addresses the issue head-on in a toast to his contestants shortly after they all arrive at the mansion, in which he promises he's there for the right reasons.
"I fell in love with Becca, and while that didn't work out, I'm so grateful because it led me here to you tonight," he explains. "I know there [are] people who said I might not be ready for this. But I'm here, standing in front of all of you to let you know I'm so ready, so excited for all of this. One thing I promise you is that I'll stay true to you, and be open and honest. And that's all I ask in return, is openness and honesty."
