It’s already time for last dates on this season of “Temptation Island.” 

Time flies when you’re having fun while trying to figure out if your relationship is worth fighting for or if a new partner is something you’d like to explore. And being in Hawaii doesn’t hurt either.

"Temptation Island" Couples Chose Their Last Dates On The Island Before The Final Bonfire

Each of the couples had to choose who their last date on the island will be with. It will be a romantic overnight date so choosing wisely at this point is super important. Any of the singles not chosen for the final date will be sent home. 

So, who was chosen for the last date? It was pretty obvious who would be chosen and who would go home considering the connections that were in the process of being built.

Marisela asked Kristian

Vanessa asked Brice

Kaitlin asked Sebastian

Paris asked Tahjicc

Great asked Nafeesah

Rob asked Desiree

Hall asked Makayla

Chris asked Alexius

Each of the dates were solo dates in different parts of the island. Some snorkeled while others hiked.

During each of the dates, the “couples” talked about what’s next for them, how they are feeling at the moment leading into the final bonfire, and what their future plans can look like if they were to leave the island together.

Paris explained that Tahjicc makes her happy.

“Tahjicc brings me so much happiness that I don’t think about nobody else around him,” she said. 

Tahjicc told Paris that he found his match and she responded that she feels more connected to him than to Great at this point. 

“I feel happy and I feel like I’m a new person again,” Paris said. “Tahjicc brings that happiness that Great doesn’t do anymore.” It's beginning to really look like Paris and Great may be kaput for good. 

And just what was Great up to on his date with Nafeesha? Great told Nafeesah that he always knew it was her and explained his trust issues, which is why he kept Tamie as an alternative.

Nafeesah asked if he sees a future with her and he said yes. She’s trusting that he follows through on all he’s saying.

Rob and Desiree had a serious discussion about where they go from here. When she asked him where he saw the two of them after this experience, he said that while he can see a future with her, he's still not completely sure about losing Vanessa.

"I'm at a crossroads," Rob said. "I don't know what's gonna happen."

For Vanessa and Brice, getting close has a boundary thanks to Vanessa's loyalty to Rob. She won't let the two of them get too intimate because she still values the relationship she has with Rob.

"My heart's telling me one thing, my mind's telling me something else," she said.

Kaitlin and Sebastian began to let their walls down a bit more during their hike and she explained that she would like to get to know him a bit better.

"I feel like I'm still obviously getting over Hall and focusing on myself so it definitely threw me for a loop for him actually being interested in figuring out what this is," she said. "I definitely think there's more to discover with Sebastian."

And what about her now ex-fiancé? Hall is diving headfirst into a relationship with Makayla without taking any time to heal and process all that's happened. They are throwing the term "falling in love" around a bit too.

"Hearing her say that she is falling in love with me, I've never been wanted and loved and needed like this," Hall said. "It's the best feeling in the world."

Marisela and Kristian connected a bit more on their date. She told him she would like to spend more time getting to know him better, and he asked her to fly back to his home with him after the experience.

Chris and Alexius also connected some more.

"When I started this journey, I expected to be proposing to Marisela. I closed myself off to the idea that I would find someone like Alexius and if I was not in tuned to what was really going on and her feelings, I would have missed such an amazing queen," Chris shared.

The final dates all happened just before the couples will be meeting back up with the person they came to the island with for the final bonfire. It's do or die time now and they really need to consider who they see themselves with after the experience is over.

Who do you think will leave together? Who will leave single? And who will leave with the person they came to the island with?

"Temptation Island" airs on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on USA Network.
