David Murphy and his relationship with Lana had been the most talked about on the show as everyone was convinced she was not real. David spoke to Lana for seven years and had tried to meet her on four different occasions but all of them had led to a failed attempt. Ther pair finally got a chance to meet and everyone had been shocked to see Lana was real. 

Their meeting ended with Lana and David getting engaged but the tell-all episode painted a different picture. David revealed he and Lana were not together at the moment as she continued to stay on the dating site. Other cast members were confused and asked why she didn't leave the site if they were together. 

David explained Lana had been on the site for a long time and had all her friends on it. He did not want her to cut off from them and agreed for her to stay on the site. He also shed light on how he had made countless efforts to find the perfect woman for himself before he met Lana. David revealed he has visited Ukraine nearly 20 times to meet other women in the past and had spent a quarter of a million on the site. 

He further explained that before the dating site came into form, he used to get a catalog of women that he could choose from and wanted to talk to. The show then invited Caesar Mack, another familiar face from the previous season of the show. Caesar seemed to have a similar story as David. Caesar had met his ex-girlfriend, Maria, on the site. He explained the site allowed a man to speak to several women at once. David revealed he had spoken to Maria once for half an hour but decided to not continue the relationship because she was "high-maintenance". 

While David seemed to have found his partner in Lana, it seems like the two are not where they had hoped they would be. Despite this, he seemed positive that things would work out. However, his fellow-cast member, Ed Brown, thought David was being used. He could not contain his laughter when David explained Lana was not using her phone because of her long nails.

He tried warning David that it was a scam. David refused to listen to Ed and seemed certain that Lana was the one for him.
