Why did Sara Mendicino turn down Tripp Bromley's invitation for a date? 'Love and Translation' star left 'shocked and hurt' after rejection
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, CARIBBEAN: 'Love & Translation' Season 1's Tripp Bromley was left devasted after Sara Mendicino rejected his invitation for a date.
Having said that, Sara did admit that she rejected Tripp's offer as she is more attracted to Dylan Hodge. Notably, in Episode 1, she participated in a staring challenge with Tripp and Dylan and sparked a connection with the latter.
In a preview, Tripp is seen asking Sara, "I want to ask you on a date. Yes or No?" After turning down Tripp's proposal, she said in the confessional, "Let me tell you, I didn't get anything from Tripp during the two minutes we were looking at each other."
Sara elaborated, "Then, when it was Dylan's turn, I was not relaxed because I was attracted to him. Dylan can ask me out on a date because I think there is something between us."
During his confessional, Tripp expressed, "I'm shocked that Sara turned me down like, of course, it hurts a little bit. Was I not good enough, or was I just not reading the situation, but was nobody reading the situation."
He seemed to be baffled and questioned, "What happened? Because I thought we you know with all the laughter and the gaze exercise like okay there's something. Like...I'm certainly hurt but I'm very good at hiding that thanks to my training in the Marines."

What is Sara Mendicino looking for in her partner?
Sara Mendicino joined 'Love & Translation' Season 1 to find true love. She had never been with an American guy and wanted to change that by participating in an interesting show.
