This magical resort is where the ladies will rediscover their youth, find love, and get their groove back with men half their age. Whether it's a one-time fling or a long-term relationship, this experience gives the ladies a chance to take charge and do whatever their heart desires.

The guys chat with Jackson about their experiences at the Groove Hotel, how they all bonded as brothers, and what's happened since they've all "checked out" of the hotel with some very surprising updates!

Catch these awesome guys  on "Back in the Groove" currently streaming on Hulu!
