What's the deal with Tierra? Is she good at playing the game? Crazy? Or just crazy about our Sean? This week started with an immediate Date Card, a one-on-one date for Selma.  The card read “Let's turn up the heat!” Where would he take her and what would they do? A limo ride to a private jet, with a very sensual private flight. Lots of interlocking finger hand holding, with snuggles and hugs. These tow are super comfortable together and you could feel the heat being turned up on the plane.
