'Gay Bachelor' Robert Sepulveda Jr. shared his first kiss on Thursday's episode of Finding Prince Charming as tensions rose in the contestants' house.

Chad packed his bags and threatened to quit the show after Eric accused him of hitting on him following the black tie ceremony in last week's premiere episode.

'Are you out of your f***ing mind?' a furious Chad asked Eric. 'Do you think I'm attracted to you? Is that what you think?'

'No, but that happened. I didn't dream it,' Eric told him.

'Your story is false,' Chad said. 'I never, ever came on to you. You don't exist to me. Bye.'

Eric opened up about his uncomfortable feelings towards Chad as the remaining 10 men prepared for a group date at the beach with Robert.

During a discussion about first impressions, Chad told Eric: 'I thought you were hiding something evil' before brushing it off as a misconception.

Eric also confessed to Chad that 'sometimes I feel uncomfortable around you'.

Addressing the camera, Eric continued: 'The night after elimination I was alone in the kitchen and Chad comes into the room and all of a sudden he had his hands in his pants.

'It's a little too overly sexual and that's the moment when I started feeling the most uncomfortable around Chad,' Eric said.

As the contestants walked onto the sand for their group date, they came face to face with Robert frolicking in the sea in a snug pair of swim shorts.

'I'm excited to see Robert in a swimsuit again and I'm also thinking thank god I haven't eaten since 1997,' Justin said.

Danique added: 'Robert is beautiful. He's beautiful. I'm looking forward to getting to know Robert a little bit more, but I'm not excited about being vultures and trying to pull him aside.'

The group date was barely underway when Eric opened up to Robert about his issues in the house, which prompted the bachelor to confront Chad and ask whether he was being mean to his fellow contestants.

'I can't believe people are talking about me to Robert,' Chad told the camera. 'Maybe some people think this is a game and maybe some people are playing dirty.'

While Eric brought up his feelings about Chad, Dillon admitted he was wary of Sam.

'I don't care for Sam,' he told Robert. 'Sam is a bully and I don't feel like he's here for the right reasons. I don't think he's a bad person but I also don't want there to be this discomfort in the house.'

Robert said: 'It's important for my future partner to get on with everybody.'

After their concerns had been aired, the men split into two teams for a volleyball match while Robert observed their sporting prowess from the umpire's chair.

After beating The Nice Guys 21-13, the Robettes were rewarded with the chance to spend some extra time with the handsome bachelor and Robert chose Justin for his one-on-one date.

When all the men returned to the house, Chad pulled Eric aside and told him 'we have a canary in the house'.

Furious at Eric's claims that he had put his hands down his pants and invited him to the pool room last week, he told the other contestants: 'I don't want to be here anymore.'

Packing his bags, he said: 'I felt so outcasted. I felt like the room was spinning. I just want to leave the house. I want to go home.'

After some of the other contestants told him he should stay, he relented: 'My gut is telling me to leave but my heart is telling me to stay. I would like to give Robert another chance.'

He added: 'Robert's an amazing person so I have to stay at the house.'

The house, however, was further divided when Sam told the winning volleyball team he did not feel comfortable around them as a group.

A stunned Robby told the camera: 'When I think of Sam I think of a really sweet, soft cuddly bear but then he snaps.'

Harmony was restored, however, when Justin – who was given the power to pick a fellow contestant to enjoy a date with Robert – chose Jasen.

Getting ready for his own date, Justin said: 'I don't have any strategy going into this date, but I can make lemonade out of p***. I can talk about anything and let Robert know who I am.'

Justin and Robert spent the afternoon designing their own custom fragrance at a perfumery before sharing a kiss – Robert's first kiss on Finding Prince Charming.

'Our lips connected and it was magic,' Justin swooned.

Jasen and Robert's date took place at a salt spa, where the pair enjoyed a couple's massage before spending time in a salt room.

It did not take long for Robert to ask Jasen about Chad and Jasen let slip that he had packed his bags and almost quit the show the previous night.

'If he had his bags packed already, I think that tells me a lot about how he feels about our status,' Robert said.

After a tense black tie affair, Chad and Jasen then found themselves in the bottom two and at risk of being sent home.

'I hear you packed your bags last night,' Robert told Chad. 'If you don't want to be here you can go home.'

Chad explained: 'The reason I packed my bags was because I felt very overwhelmed with one person, maybe two in the house. I felt ganged up and bullied.'

It was Jasen, however, who lost his tie – and his place in the house – after Robert told him he did not feel any chemistry between them.

'Today at the spa it was amazing, we had a great time, but it also opened my eyes to the fact that I don't think you and I have chemistry and for that reason I'm going to have to ask for my tie back,' Robert said.

While a tearful Chad hugged Robert after learning he was safe for another week, Jasen said: 'What makes me most upset is that Robert said we didn't have chemistry because I thought we had a connection.

'I honestly have no idea what happened. Just like the name of our volleyball team, nice guys don't always win.'
