At the table, the fellas tackled two impossible relationship scenarios that put loyalty, timing, and honesty to the test. First, they debated whether you should let an ex stay with you when she's out of options—even if you've been together for a year. Then they took a sci-fi turn, imagining what happens when you fall in love in another universe, only to be brought back to your original life. (1:25) Situation #1: You've been dating your girlfriend for a year, but you don't live together. You run into your ex leaving the gym, and she's down on her luck with no family nearby.

The night before, you're transported through a portal to another universe where you fall in love with someone else. Later, the original girl finds a way to bring you back. Do you still go on the date? Thanks for the love and support — be sure to follow us on social media @thebltpod.
