(Warning: Spoilers from the season two finale of “Perfect Match.”)
At the end of season two of ‘Perfect Match’, five couples were left standing – and one of the most unexpected was Christine Obanor and Nigel Jones.
The ‘Too Hot to Handle’ stars, who appeared in seasons four and five respectively, showed interest in each other in episode nine and shared a kiss.
They said they had previously met on a night out in New York City, but nothing came of it. Despite their mutual attraction and previous flirtations, Christine pursued Kaz Bishop (“Dated and Related”) and Nigel left the villa.
But in the finale, on June 21, Chris Hahn (“Dated and Related”) and Tolú Ekundare become the final power couple and decide to send Christine and Nigel on a date. Things are going well, but Christine still seems interested in Kaz, who rekindles his romance with Micah Lussier (“Love Is Blind” season three). When Nigel comforts Christine and expresses his feelings, they connect.
Find out below what happened on their last date and how their time on the show ended.
