But outside of the pods, the duo struggled. At first they seemed to be retaining their spark, but as the episodes went on, it became clear the couple was having a hard time connecting (take one scene while on their post-pod vacation, where the camera just captured them on a boat, staring into space). There were a lot more scenes like this, with Gorham spending more time on his phone, it seemed, than chatting with Mills.
By episode 8 the couple was clearly on rocky ground. After a frank conversation about how they didn’t want to force something that wasn’t there, they decided to split. But they clearly wish each other well, sealing the breakup with a hug.
In an interview with People, Gorham said the couple just couldn’t make it work under the accelerated timeline of the show.
“I said to myself, ‘As much as I would love to still fight for this thing, considering where we are right now, there’s no way that we could say yes to [marriage to] each other in a week’s time, with these feelings kind of being where they’re right now,’” he said.
Mills agreed, saying that the relationship had simply run its course.
“I think that it really took a different turn when we got back to Charlotte and got back home. And I think that our in the pods we were very, very passionate and very intense. And then coming back home, that intensity kind of died down a bit,” she told Life & Style.
It seems this duo will be just fine. Mills posted on Instagram that she even had a girls get-together to watch the season, and she’s clearly being supported by her ladies.
