"It made me feel like I wasn't worth the respect of, like, not flirting with anybody else when you know I like you because I've been very vocal about it. We live very far away from each other, and like, if it was that simple for someone to walk in and for you to be like, "Oh, I kind of like him. I'm going to go talk to him," how would it be on the outside?" Joao asked.
Flavia said that it was a "real test" for her and she felt it was important for her to through it to to discover how she felt about Joao.
