Scott explained why he chose to not participate in the task, saying: "It's a real life relationship. Everyone is going to have a different opinion but for me when I'm into someone and I see a future with them I don't let anyone else have an opportunity because there's no need for it.

He added: "I'm not looking at other opportunities, even if they could or couldn't have been my partner. It's invalid. I don't know them."

Looking ahead at the episode that shows him watching Gia's date, he said: "There's a lot more hurt coming my way."
