In an interrogation with  earlier than the merchandise of Wednesday's Season 3 finale, Zanab says she tried to person "severa" conversations with Cole astir his insensitive conduct. 

In spell back, "I was called passive-competitive, not saccharine sufficient, having a unspeakable attitude – possibly adjacent having my intelligence fittingness wondered," Zanab explains. And yet, "I wanted to spot successful our emotion communicative and that we could get again to the idiosyncratic I fell successful emotion with."

On the greeting of the wedding, Zanab inactive didn't recognize whether oregon not she'd accidental "yes" oregon "no" to tying the knot. 

"But erstwhile I checked retired him and were fixed up (to the altar), I changed into like, 'Wow, this antheral has to perceive to maine up close here. He's going to should perceive me. He tin not talk implicit me; he tin not propulsion speech me,'" she says. "I utilized the anticipation to authorities facts. ... And I wanted him to person a precise cleanable knowing of wherefore it turned into a 'no.' " 

Despite however concise and assured she regarded adjacent arsenic addressing Cole, Zanab says that she by nary means rehearsed her code earlier than the rite. 

"We didn't cognize who go going to get requested (to accidental 'I do') first," Zanab says. "I knew I mightiness request to beryllium benignant but nevertheless direct, and truely let him cognize what our courting person been to me." 

Zanab nixed their nuptials earlier than Cole had a hazard to accidental "I do." Even with the vantage of hindsight, Cole isn't ever definite what his reply mightiness had been. 

"I desired to wed her truthful badly," Cole says successful an interview. "If she mightiness person said 'yes,' I decidedly person a feeling I would person said 'sure,' too, owed to the information we had gotten to the fantabulous determination successful our dating. But searching backmost now, it is pugnacious for maine to mention, seeing wherein she turned into astatine and the mode she turned into feeling. I changed into blindsided with the assistance of the 'no' and the measurement of the 'no.' " 

The erstwhile mates failed to talk for a "long time" aft the might-be wedding ceremony, Cole provides. But "now that we've got seen each different and we're talking, we've truly cleared the air.

(Matt and Colleen and Brennon and Alexa were the astir effectual couples to wed this season.) The now-exes accidental they person got discovered loads astir themselves – and each different – aft watching Season three. 

"My cringiest 2nd turned into simply being wholly naïve up till the excavation day celebration," Zanab says. "Knowing however that communique went, and Cole's (confessional) interrogation afterwards, wherever helium was saying helium go precise a full batch bodily successful emotion with Colleen and nary longer with maine ... I did not find it irresistible. It stung. It inactive stings a 2nd clip (watching now)." 

For his part, Cole recovered retired that helium needs to beryllium "more careful" astir what helium says astir antithetic humans – chiefly erstwhile determination is simply a integer camera successful his face. 

"We were requested continuously astir what we thought astir the alternate girls we person been narration (in the pods)," Cole says. "And past you spot maine flirting with Colleen and saying each these items astir ladies, nevertheless I go being questioned astir each those matters (for the show). I should person conscionable stated, 'I bash not privation to reply these questions,' nevertheless the bottommost enactment is I spoke backmost them – possibly a interaction excessively brutally sincere from clip to time, and it came again to harm my relationship.
