During 90 Day: Hunt for Love Tell All Part 1, Tim Malcolm—known from Before the 90 Days—openly shared that he had feelings for newcomer Elise Benson. Their early interaction included Tim asking Elise shockingly personal questions, like whether her body count was in double or triple digits (she said two) and if she had ever had an STD (she said no).

Elise initially viewed Tim’s questions as a “shock value” attempt, explaining, “I thought he was just trying to … make me feel uncomfortable.” Meanwhile, Tim later admitted he “messed up the most with Elise,” reflecting on how things between them might have changed.

After the season finale, it was confirmed that despite the anticipation, Tim and Elise never went on that date. Elise announced via her Instagram Story on September 3 that she is currently single, stating:

“Carlo and I dated after Tulum, but we did not work out. Tim and I never went on our date after the Tell All. I am single and really enjoying my me-first era.”

Tim followed up on September 4 with a heartfelt Instagram caption, calling Elise “a beautiful soul” and expressing admiration for her personality. He added: “Unless I’m too late I still intend to take her out, treat her gracefully and respectfully and enjoy a night together.” Elise responded appreciatively, saying:

“Wait stop this is so sweet … I’m so lucky to have you in my life, everyone needs a Tim in their life!!”
