During an extremely heated moment with Andrew during the Photo Ranking challenge, it was clear that they both have different views about what is acceptable in a relationship.
"I'm looking for warmth," Holly described of her ideal partner.
"I'm looking for someone who wants to be on my team. Who knows how to fight, who knows how to resolve issues and conflicts in a strategic way."

The main thing she came back to was wanting to find a partner who is just "fun" and "tries to be about having fun".
"Someone who's got a sense of humour and someone who I can go on a journey with," she added.
The challenge was the final straw that set things off between the couple, after an already turbulent week.
As Holly went to slot Andrew in the line-up of photos things started to go badly, and he told her that throughout the week he had only been his "honest" and "authentic self".

He told her even if she put him last, it wouldn't bother him because it wouldn't change how he feels about himself.
Andrew then accused Holly of running away from the conversation and said, "You're not even looking at me and showing me that respect, you're looking down!"
In the end Holly snapped and screamed at Andrew, who wasn't letting her talk. Nine
"Dude, I can't even look at you," Holly snapped.
"This morning you said, 'Hey Holly, we're on two different pages and I don't want to waste your time'."

Holly stressed that he kept asking her to talk, but wouldn't let her speak, so she screamed, "I told you you're not capable of letting me finish a sentence."
He walked out and the couple never reached a resolution, or even finished the task. The couple have a lot to work out individually if they want to get to a better place.
