Kim Zolciak and Chet Hanks flirted outrageously with each other on Tuesday’s episode of The Surreal Life on MTV.
The season eight episode of the reality show showed sparks starting to fly between Bravo star Kim, 46, and Chet, 33, the son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson.
Their flirting caught the attention of their fellow housemates and was caught on camera throughout the episode before culminating in a suggestive exchange during a group dinner on a houseboat in Colombia.
“I want to connect with you more, Kim,” Chet said as Kim smiled at him.
Chet added: “I wanted to come and yell at you and have a good time with you because you’re so cool.”

“Oh, I’ll come see you tonight. That’s what I decided earlier. So you must have felt it,” Kim told Chet.
“What’s gonna happen?” rapper OT Genasis, 37, said in a confessional after admitting he’s been watching the dynamic between Kim and Chet.
Josie Canseco, 27, flashed a mischievous grin as she listened to the exchange between Kim and Chet, and the show’s AI-style narrator, Sloan, noticed, too.
“Well, this just took an unexpected turn. It looks like Kim and Chet might be bringing this experience back to the villa. Now our guests are fully embracing this healing journey and showing their truest selves. But their bonds will be tested as they discover what comes next,” Sloan said at the conclusion of the episode.
A sneak peek of next week’s episode showed Kim getting frustrated as the group worked together to film a soap opera.
—I’m leaving. I’ll be here in a few minutes with Chet, so… —Kim said.
Kim was then shown leading a shirtless Chet to his room.

Kim and Kroy have four children together and she also has two daughters, Brielle and Ariana, from previous relationships.
The episode begins with 56-year-old Macy being rushed to the hospital after falling ill due to complications from taking Ozempic.
Shirtless, Chet called Macy to check on her, and she thanked him for his concern.

Chet performed an original country song called Leaving Hollywood that surprised and impressed his housemates and the audience.
“Who would have thought Chetster was such a great singer?” Johnny Weir, 40, said after Chet’s performance, which featured Tyler Posey, 32, on guitar and Ally Brooke, 31, on backing vocals.
Ally suffered a panic attack during the episode after Chet talked about his sleeping problems that arose from growing up in a haunted house.
She called Tyler for help and he quickly came to her aid and walked with her until she calmed down.
Ally later spoke about the enormous pressure she felt to maintain a perfect image while performing with Fifth Harmony and the inappropriate behavior she encountered in the music industry.
“A record label executive was texting me and saying, ‘Come to my hotel room,'” Ally shared. “It was really hard because that person had so much power. It was awful.”
Macy, who had returned from the hospital, shared her own experiences.
“You got all this money and nobody taught you what to do with it. So I spent a lot of money on stupid stuff like drugs, stupid stuff, buying kids cars and stuff, buying furs and…” Macy said.
