Previously, Buddha was found out to be an actor and that made New York mad. The exes came and New York found out Entertainer lived with his parents, who came the following week and fought with her a lot, so he had to leave. The final three will be heading to Miami.
This week starts off with Tailor Made and his scary facial mask as he and Punk discuss Buddha and his acting career and why he’s not there for New York. Tailor Made says he and Punk agree that they are both better for New York than Buddha is. Buddha says he came to win New York and he still intends to do that. New York meets the guys to take them to Miami.
When they got off the plane, New York and Buddha were holding hands and he’s excited to show her around his hometown. Tailor Made hopes he will get a manicure. They get to the hotel and New York is taken to her room and Buddha starts hitting on the hostess. The guys find a nice bracelet waiting for each of them. The hotel host comes in and tells the guys they are to meet New York for dinner in an hour. Punk is excited because he feels like he’s getting closer to winning New York.
They all run into dinner and fight over who gets to sit next to New York. New York tells Buddha he’s the only one she’s thought of today and that makes Punk mad. Buddha makes a comment that was flirty toward the waitress and Punk tells New York Buddha was flirting with the other women. That ticks off New York and she moves away from him. He starts gnawing on her neck and flirting with her and she forgets all about being mad. Punk and Tailor Made just sit there and can’t do anything. After dinner, New York asks Buddha to escort her back to her room. Punk is so mad he can’t speak. New York explains that she and Buddha need to spend some alone time to get to know each other on a different level.
Tailor Made and Punk get a note from New York along with their dessert saying New York brought along someone to keep them company and Sister Patterson walks in. They are both Mama’s Boys and they tell her how mad they are about Buddha getting the night cap. Sister Patterson is really mad and says Buddha needs to go. She thinks he’s a jerk and she’s already been through that once.
Meanwhile, Buddha thinks he’s going to get closer to New York and in the limo, New York tells Buddha to leave her alone and she’s done because of his flirting. Buddha tries to defend himself and say that Punk was making things up because he’s a competitor. When they get back to New York’s room, New York says she’s not sure about them. Buddha tells her if she can’t trust him then he’s gone. He tries to walk out the door and she gets mad and he comes back and they fight some more and Buddha tells her he’s not there for fame because he’s already got that. She tells him that she hopes “I Love New York 2″ looks good on his resume. He tells her he loves Tiffany, not New York. She says Tango already said that and then tells him to let himself out. Then she starts crying and telling him she didn’t mean it. He confesses he’s not bothered by the fighting and he’s just putting on an act because he knows she likes it. She tells him to go and when he starts to go, she closes the door and then tells him she loves him. Buddha says she likes the drama.
He walks back to his room and decides to play a trick on the guys and comes back half undressed. They are waiting up for him and he makes up a story about putting his pants on in the hall and then starts talking about how exhausted he is and how great his name sounded coming out of her mouth. Punk and Tailor Made are both mad that he’s disrespecting her and Punk decides he has to get rid of Buddha.
The next morning, the guys meet up with New York and Punk admits he’s a bit hungover. They get into the limo and Punk is really quiet. She asks him what’s wrong and he tells her what Buddha told them and she assures them there was nothing physical that happened. She gets super upset that he would disrespect her that way.
They end up going to the parrot jungle and New York immediately deduces that parrots will be there. She’s afraid of parrots because they don’t understand English. She takes Tailor Made aside for alone time first. He tells her that Buddha can’t handle that she’s a more successful actor than he is. The director comes over and tells New York a 6′5″ bird will be released and she has to sit completely still in an open hand position just sit silently. The directors tell them all about a deadly bird and then the bird pees on Tailor Made. They join the others and they feed some monkeys. She takes Punk for his alone time and there is a giant snake they bring in for her. She runs as far away as possible and Punk is okay with it because he gets to show off how he can protect her. Their conversation again turns to Buddha and she says what he’s saying makes sense. She needs alone time with Buddha next and they go to feed the monkeys and he wants to keep moving and she tells him just to go. She tells him she’s sick of everyone talking about him on their dates. Buddha is nervous that the other guys have gotten into her head.
Back at the hotel, New York says she will take Punk for lunch by the pool and then she’ll have dinner with Tailor Made. Punk meets her by the pool an hour later and she wants to see if she has the physical and emotional attraction. He tells her if he wins, he’ll be the happiest guy in the world. He tells her he’s always been honest with her. He tells her that he is already thinking about what’s going to happen after the show is over. She says she’s comfortable with Punk, but doesn’t feel that spark. He says that he’s deeply in love with her and he takes off his shirt. She licks some whipped cream off his chest and then says she’s so comfortable it’s like they are friends, but it’s not romance. She says they have a great bond, but she doesn’t know if love is there.
Later, Tailor Made is getting ready for his dinner and he brings a gift with him. He kisses her on the cheek so she doesn’t mess up her lip gloss. He tells her he snuck out of the hotel to get her a gift and gives her a new dress. She says it’s not just the gifts, but it’s his tight butt, the way he wears his clothes, and his receding hairline. They get to dinner and Tailor Made tells her he wants to spend his life with her shopping and traveling. New York says she feels special when she’s with Tailor Made because he’s romantic. She tells him there were a lot of things he did that were wrong, but she finds that hot. He says he just wanted to fight for her and prove he was there for her. She tells him he was lame at first, but now he’s great. They start making out and he carries her to the bed. She likes the aggressiveness. They pull up the covers and a lady walks in to tell New York her mom was waiting for her, and she gets mad she has to leave.
When they get to the club, Buddha, Punk, and Sister Patterson are already there talking. Buddha is called out as an actor and Sister Patterson gets angry that he’s an actor. She vows he will never be her son-in-law. Of course, that makes Buddha mad and he walks off as New York listens to Punk and Tailor Made and stays put instead of following him out for once. She says she’s tired of chasing him and Tailor Made points out that he’s using reverse psychology.
Later, New York and Sister Patterson are talking about eliminations and New York asks her one good thing about each of the guys. She says Tailor Made loves her, Punk is sincere, and Buddha has straight teeth. New York tells her two of the guys are driving her crazy in a good way and the third has to go.
Punk is confident that he’s staying because of their great date. Tailor Made wants her to be happy and Buddha wants her to choose a man or let him go. She tells them the decision was really hard because her heart is pulling her one way and her head is pulling her the other way. She gives Tailor Made the first chain because she’s happy about this and her head and heart are in agreement and says she loves him. He says he’s never been in love with another woman like that before. New York then tells Punk she made a list of wonderful things about him and it took her a long time and she couldn’t find a flaw. She tells Buddha she wrote things about him too, and there is a long list of not so great things. Buddha is confident she’ll choose him because she always follows her heart over her head. She then tells them if she looks at the list, the decision is clear and Buddha has to go home. However, she then says she can’t go by what’s on the paper alone. She says she can’t let him go right now because she feels like she needs to be with him night and day. Punk is confused and doesn’t know what to say. She tells him she cares for him, but she’s not in love with him. He gives Sister Patterson a hug and Sister Patterson tells New York she’s afraid of Buddha and that’s all it is. New York mouths “I Love You” to Buddha as she hugs Punk.
Buddha comes up to get his chain and says he loves her. She says she loves him and then warns him that if he breaks her heart she’ll destroy him. While they kiss, Sister Patterson tells Tailor Made he has to wipe out Buddha. Tailor Made looks scared, but agrees.
On the season finale, they are going to Jamaica and Tailor Made has a ring for her and then cries in his bed. Sister Patterson preps Tailor Made for war. Buddha and New York fight some more and Tailor Made tries to convince her Buddha is wrong for her and prays a lot.

[...] his. It’s Buddha’s. That’s right! The VH1 “source” claims that New York chooses Tailor Made but then gets knocked up by the runner up Buddha. Oops. The “source” also then claims [...]
