Despite Yorie falling in love with Xander together for three weeks, Mal was not shaken by their commitment.
“It’s always been you,” Mal told Yorie before falling to one knee. “Would you like to live life with me? Would you marry me?” After a brief pause, Yoly asked, “What took so long?” and said yes.
Still, Yoly doubted that she had made the right choice. “If Xander were to fight for me,” she admitted, “I don’t know what I’m going to say.”
It’s not surprising that Yoly and Mal left the experiment, but Mal revealed that they “pleasantly broke up” during the reunion.
“My fear was that as soon as the camera stopped filming, I was going to go back to the way I knew,” Yoly explained. “It happened, we spent a bit of a distance. During that time she said, ‘This isn’t working.’ I didn’t fight back. ”
After watching the show and seeing Yorie’s interaction with Xander, Mal says she now sees their relationship through a completely different lens. “You feel like a dangerous stranger to me,” Mal said. “I had your back so hard, and all you did was make a perfect fool out of me.”
