Operation SECRET VIBING Goes Sour

What went down

The rookies paired up by ep 4 and went on a date in ep 5. Kat felt neglected (ep 8), and in ep 10 Cooper broke up with her coldly under crew commentary, then proposed a secret hookup ('Operation SECRET VIBING'). Gen's 'massive cock Coop' flirting made Kat cry (ep 14), and by ep 17 Cooper was putting off a breakup talk until the final night.

How it landed

Off: Kat says they are on 'zero talking terms' and accused Cooper of misleading WWHL viewers about their status. The finale promises they will 'get on the same page.'
