“What the heck, Damian?” Ellen said, disgusted.
Well, the empty box symbolized how he wants to give her “all of me,” and Ellen broke out into “All of Me” by John Legend.
“I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you,” Damian said.

One of the contestants, Carlton Morton, got engaged to his fiancee Diamond Jack through the show. The couples who got engaged on the show went on a retreat, and that’s where Morton told her that he’s bisexual. The moment turned into a shouting fight, and the couple didn’t stay for the whole retreat.
This led to Morton, who is black, getting a lot of negative comments on social media when the show was released on Netflix, and he posted on Instagram about the hatred he was receiving.
“I’m really done,” he wrote. “Black lives matter until it’s an LGBT Black life.”
