“For me, I’m not numb to the fact that we’re filming a TV show. It’s fun but yet we’re still developing a relationship, and it’s so early on too. So it’s not much about weeding out, it’s just about who can you connect with, what do you connect over and how do you build off of your connection from there?” Colton said of making his choice.
