After Chanita said she was “single and ready to mingle,” viewers were shocked to see Duka start flirting with her and showering her with compliments.

Jordan admitted: “To be fair, I still have feelings for her. I didn’t like him telling you the truth. It wasn’t nice and that’s because I care.
He went on to say he was angered by Duka’s comments, saying, “It was also frustrating.” There were a lot of things that were removed.
‘Mate, why are you so disrespectful? I understand we’re not together, but we’ve been through this whole process together. He’s still someone I’m close to. She’s theoretically my ex-wife, we attended this shoot and you’re supposed to be a close friend.
He added, “It was a constant thing he kept saying while filming on camera and I was like my homie got some respect.”
