The pair's conversation on the terrace and subsequent kiss has sparked a wave of reactions online, with many fans calling the interaction "forced" and "awkward."
The Terrace Chat
Jack Keating initiated the moment by pulling Whitney Adebayo aside for a private chat on the terrace. During their discussion, Whitney expressed her feelings about their relationship, stating, "I feel like we are stepping along… it’s definitely going forward." Jack responded by mentioning, "I feel like we are the only couple right now who has not kissed outside of a challenge… I was kind of thinking about it today."
Whitney's Response
Whitney, seemingly catching Jack's hint, asked him directly, "What are you trying to insinuate? That you’d like a kiss?" After agreeing to the kiss, Whitney later joked about the aftermath, noting how Jack ended up with her lipliner smudged on his face. The moment was captured on camera, with Jack pulling away in a comical fashion.
