The kiss happened in front of the whole group. Iris Castillo had just called Razvan Ciocoi’s kiss “really hot” — and then she kissed him again, where everyone could see it. Steven Frend was watching — and he summed up his whole Hunt for Love run in five words: he was “not interested anymore in Iris.”
It was the coldest ending of Hunt for Love Season 2 so far, and it played out on Monday night’s episode, “The Girl Who Saw Red.” For six weeks, Steven had made Iris his entire strategy. Now fans cannot agree: did Iris betray Steven, or did Steven betray himself by claiming a woman who never said yes?
The Kiss in Front of Everyone
Steven never hid his plan. In a preview released October 16, he called Iris “mysterious in her own way” and announced it to the whole house: “I focus on one person at a time, and that’s it. And Iris is one that I’m focusing on right now.” The two bonded over anime, manga, and cosplay, and for a while the focus seemed to be working.
But Razvan never stopped chasing her. In Monday’s episode, Iris told the cameras that Razvan’s kiss was “really hot” — and that she wanted to be his “center focus” before considering anything serious. Then she kissed him in front of the group, and Steven told a confidant he had watched them “making out.” That was it.
The episode also delivered the season’s most stomach-turning scene: Razvan told the group he had once urinated in a bottle, fallen asleep, and accidentally drunk from it when he woke up. Iris joined in, describing the taste in detail.
The Denial That Came First
Iris saw this storm coming. On October 26, the night the show teased a “surprising rumor” at sea, she went on Instagram and denied cheating on Steven: if she had hooked up with anyone, the cameras would have caught it, and it would have aired.

The cheating question started online, not on TLC. According to reports, Razvan was sent home early after an alleged on-set argument with Jamal Menzies; TLC has not confirmed it, and neither man has commented. The move that left Steven questioning his chances came on November 2; a week later, the kiss made the question moot.
The Breakdown in the Therapist’s Chair
The same episode that ended Steven’s pursuit opened up his past. TLC’s listing for November 9 promised that Steven would break down over past mistakes, and in an exclusive clip released November 6, he did exactly that in front of a therapist. “I was toxic. I was insecure. I was immature,” he said. “I know I was the problem.”
It was a startling admission from the season’s self-styled one-woman guy. Steven was not just losing Iris to Razvan — he was watching his own history repeat itself in real time.
The Ghost in the Room: Olga
That history has a name. Steven first appeared on 90 Day Fiancé Season 6 with Olga Koshimbetova, and the two permanently separated around July or August 2024. Olga herself weighed in on November 3, revealing what happened to Steven after filming wrapped.
Two Camps, One Kiss
Team Steven calls it a public humiliation: he announced Iris as his one focus in front of the whole house, and she kissed another man in front of that same house. Team Iris says she never agreed to the deal — she never said yes, and she told Razvan plainly she wanted to be his center focus. She was choosing, not cheating.
One thing neither camp can spin away: the six-week road to this episode built Steven’s whole story on a single promise — one person, one focus, no distractions. Iris just proved that a promise only one person makes is not a promise at all. The season’s messiest triangles all run on the same fault line: one person’s focus is another person’s cage.
So tell us: if you were Steven — the man who announced Iris as his one focus in front of everyone, then watched her kiss Razvan in front of that same group — would you call that kiss a betrayal, or would you say Iris never owed you exclusivity because she never said yes? Team Steven or Team Iris: pick a side.
