After talking about their hometowns and their dating statuses, Ciara offered to transfer the chicken she and West were cooking from a pan to a specific bowl on the counter. When West said, "That's what I was thinking," Ciara responded, "Are we on the same wavelength?" To that, West said, "It feels like it." 

Naturally, Ciara's friends took note of the encounter. "She never cooks!" Amanda hilariously pointed out as Paige quipped, "She always throws me for a loop!" 

Paige jokingly added to Amanda: "I've never seen her help you make dinner."

In an interview, Ciara commented on her connection with West. "West is impressing me I'm not gonna lie. He's inquisitive," she shared. "How many dudes do you meet in New York City ... you go on a date with them and they literally only talk about themselves? [...] So, it is really nice to meet a guy who is actually inquisitive about my life."

We're excited to get to know more about West this season, who, according to his BravoTV.com bio, is a "28-year-old sports journalist" who was introduced to the group through Lindsay Hubbard

His bio continues: "After being laid off during a mass staff change, he is on the hunt for the next opportunity. When it comes to dating, West’s biggest hurdle is being able to commit. As he turns on his Midwestern charm and quickly focuses his attention on a fellow housemate, will this be his chance to push himself to take things past the casual dating stage?"
