Gary King has been playing the field like there's no tomorrow. After sleeping with Sydney Zaruba, he shifted focus to Alli Dore. Although he made it clear that he was not looking for a long-term relationship, his interactions with Dore grew intense, and somewhere, he developed feelings. 

This explains why King didn't retaliate when Dore popped off on him after spotting him with a topless Zaruba in the tub. It was an uncomfortable moment as most of the crew got unwittingly pulled into the drama.

Apart from confessionals and reunions, reality TV stars hardly get a chance to explain themselves on TV. Dore in a chat with E!, dished on what she really felt about her relationship with King and what the future holds for them.

"The episode where I snap is not my finest moment," she told the outlet and added: "And I feel really disappointed in that. It was just an emotional experience. From the very start, it was this push and pull, this game-playing, these mind games, and I guess I fell for it. I sort of believed that things were different to what they actually turned out to be."



 

Do King and Dore break up post the fight? They do but Dore felt that there were real feelings involved when it came to them. However, she felt putting a stop to their fling was a wise thing to do especially after she learned of his hook-up with Zaruba. "But he was quite gutted," she added. "And it definitely showed that his feelings were true."

However, what took her by surprise was his "post-split behavior." She told the publication how she was trying to respect everyone's feelings when King behaved oddly and tried to get back at Dore by using Zaruba. "The whole thing was quite shocking to me."



 

But those are things of the past now. She has already moved on and is ready to begin a new chapter. Dore is dating Benny Thompson, her friend from years ago. "Fundamentally, we are just such a perfect fit for each other," she revealed. "So, I'm really excited for our future together. We're very serious. We're just about to move in together."
