When the group excursion splits in two, the men get real about what’s going on in their new marriages. Pushing Austin, the other grooms want him to share whether or not he and Jessica have been intimate. Despite being on the spot, he refuses to give a definitive answer, but implications are certainly made. As for Brandon, he opens up about being a private person and his struggle with having cameras around. Then Zach earns some interesting reactions when he talks about “building attraction” with Mindy, which some of them translate into, “Zach’s not attracted to his wife.”
