ALEXAlex is a 28-year-old youth group leader in Oregon, who seems to dance a lot while wearing lederhosen.
First, they each have to learn this slow, romantic dance by choreographer and tapper Chloe Arnold.
Our first outright bust of the season, a thing to behold!

Alex & McKenzie, Perfect Strangers by Jonas Blue feat.
JP CooperAlexs second match is McKenzie, an NFL cheerleader.
Literally anything will be better than what just happened.
Its very cute and we can all breathe a sigh of relief that Alex wont go 0-for-2.
Even Jenna is like THIS IS CHEMISTRY.
She cannot mask how worried she was.
Their update video is of them going on their second official date, which is just not enough.
NAVIGet Navi a boyfriend, guys!
She just wants a guy to enjoy it with.
She tells Jenna that her parents had an arranged marriage and are still together 45 plus years later.
Theres no reward without risk, thats just life.
Thats key when you spend a significant portion of the dance moving around while also touching foreheads.
There is no head shaking, which now we know is the baseline to rate all of these pairings.
Its only fair that theyll be dancing the sensual routine of the evening.
You better hope theres chemistry or that will be awkward.
Im sorry, Dance Day.
Its as if they have been straddling all their lives!
And that final move in which they cuddle on the sidewalk?
There was some definite un-choreographed arm stroking.
Navi tells Jenna that Mark took her breath away, which means Tarun doesnt stand a chance.
Those are the flirty dancing rules!
Im rooting for these two!
I guess the quest for love on the dance floor has proved too exhausting for Jenna.
He just described the ideal human.
Good luck to you sir.
Dance will heal him!
Ashley Banjo, people!
Oh, right, the dance!
It isintimate, guys.
Allison isnt letting Khairi get out of this without really opening himself up.
She even has a pep talk with him about being enough.
Okay, I guess Allison can join my dream show with Ashley and Travis.
Sharna Burgess can come too.
Its going to be so great.
After the routine, Khairi describes it as if time kind of stopped when she was walking forward.
Im dead inside, but even I think thats a good sign, right?
The Second Date:Well, we were wrong and everything is a lie.
No amount of chemistry can survive that move.
And apparently things fizzled right after this meeting.
Because of that experience, Ashlee is all about living life fully and shes ready to commit to someone.
Ashlee & Ben, Beneath Your Beautiful by LabrinthAshlees first match is Ben.
Hes charismatic and he can take his sunglasses off in slo-motion.
Maybe hes the love of her life?
Ashlees definitely intimidated by how close and intimate this routine is.
Tell me more about how shattered I am, Travis!
Ben kisses Ashlees hand before she walks off and that is a real power move.
When you cant speak, you have to make your case somehow.
Sure, sure, thats fine, too.
This routine may be the faster of the two, but it is no less intimate.
That move will tell you everything you better know about a date.
The Second Date:No screaming necessary!
Ashlee goes with Steven, they were undeniably connected.
Poor Ben is left leaning against a bus sign or something?
I dont know, but they couldnt even set him up in a nice bar to get rejected.
He seems fine with it, he would do it all over again.
