00:00:00Previously...
00:00:01It's very selfish.
00:00:03Elliot abandoned Lauren on the honeymoon.
00:00:06This is a pattern that is keeping you single.
00:00:08And despite some hard truths from expert John...
00:00:12I disagree with everything you just said.
00:00:13The rigid groom officially exited the experiment.
00:00:20The first dinner party of the season...
00:00:22Why does everyone look so freaking hot?
00:00:24...saw our couples meet each other's partners for the very first time.
00:00:29Everyone's so happy.
00:00:30This is too low right now, baby.
00:00:33Obviously my match is not here.
00:00:36But with Elliot's no show...
00:00:38This is probably my last night.
00:00:40Lauren's experience was over before it had even started.
00:00:44Lauren, you got robbed.
00:00:45I feel like I've been the one making most of the effort.
00:00:48Are you serious?
00:00:49Tim's version of events...
00:00:51It's hard when I feel like my trust has been broken.
00:00:54...led Jamie to speak up in defence of Katie.
00:00:58I can't die on this hill charging this f***ing knife.
00:01:01Someone's got to back me.
00:01:04I've seen this shit.
00:01:09Tonight, a brand new chapter begins.
00:01:13We're home.
00:01:15Our couples start living together as husband and wife.
00:01:18It's moving day.
00:01:20I'm actually excited to be stuck with you for a bit.
00:01:22Can we please not have dirty feet on the couch?
00:01:25And close quarters will test some more than others.
00:01:29Do you see the dirt here?
00:01:30Do you want to lick the dirt off your shoes?
00:01:34And over two massive nights...
00:01:36Oh my God.
00:01:39...confessions week returns.
00:01:42Dun, dun, dun.
00:01:44I'm nervous.
00:01:44Yeah?
00:01:45Get comfortable getting uncomfortable.
00:01:47You're literally here to get to know me and I've just given you everything.
00:01:50Hell no.
00:01:51That was appalling.
00:01:51How dare you?
00:01:53Our newlyweds will be tested like never before.
00:01:56Because you don't want someone with children.
00:01:58Why are you still here?
00:01:58With brand new Confessions Week challenges.
00:02:02Ask your match some hard-hitting questions about their exes.
00:02:06That's big.
00:02:07Some couples will fast-track their connections...
00:02:10I've got you.
00:02:11...forging deeper bonds.
00:02:13It's been a while since I've felt that comfortable that quickly with someone.
00:02:16But for others...
00:02:20I have no words.
00:02:22I just wish I didn't knock on that door.
00:02:25I wish I just didn't.
00:02:26Your honesty...
00:02:27Have you cheated, Adrian?
00:02:29Exposes uncomfortable truths.
00:02:32What if I say I've seen your application?
00:02:36Um...
00:02:36I am worried.
00:02:38Adrian's trying to keep something from me.
00:02:40Wow.
00:02:54How unreal is this?
00:02:58Our newlyweds are being fast-tracked into the next phase of the experiment.
00:03:03Way home.
00:03:04Moving into the first home they will share together as husband and wife.
00:03:12Thank you so much.
00:03:12Thank you very much.
00:03:13It's move-in day.
00:03:16Woo!
00:03:18Oh, yeah.
00:03:21Oh, we have to try our names, don't we?
00:03:25All right.
00:03:26Oh, look.
00:03:27Green, Jeff.
00:03:28Hey!
00:03:30Oh, we've got neighbours.
00:03:31Oh, we've got neighbours over this year in Bali.
00:03:33This is so cool.
00:03:37Okay.
00:03:38For the next eight weeks of the Married at First Sight experiment,
00:03:42these apartments will be home for our couples.
00:03:45Get in.
00:03:46Get in.
00:03:47Come on, get in.
00:03:47All your luggage.
00:03:48Oh!
00:03:50Woo!
00:03:50Look at this place, Ryan.
00:03:53Home sweet home.
00:03:56Oh, my God.
00:03:57It's gorgeous.
00:03:58It's pink.
00:04:01Oh, man.
00:04:02This is nice.
00:04:02So good.
00:04:05Oh, my God.
00:04:06We've got a coffee machine.
00:04:08Coffee all done.
00:04:11We got married, then went on a honeymoon, and then we're moving in together.
00:04:14Oh, God.
00:04:16I can't wait to unpack to actually settle in and then finally do life in here with Karina.
00:04:21Oh, my God.
00:04:22Oh, my God.
00:04:25What?
00:04:25Oh, my God.
00:04:26Look at that photo.
00:04:29What the f*** are you joking?
00:04:30I'm dead.
00:04:32Oh, my God.
00:04:33We look so good.
00:04:35We're going to make cute babies.
00:04:37Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:04:38He runs away.
00:04:40Slow down there.
00:04:40It's a surreal feeling knowing that I'm married and living with a husband.
00:04:45I feel like all my dreams have come true.
00:04:49But, like, at a fast pace, it's like fast forward.
00:04:52We actually look like the Australian royal family.
00:04:55Living together is an important step for our couples, as it allows them to see how the
00:05:03other half live, and whether they can compromise on old habits from their single days.
00:05:08Here, our couples must learn how to live harmoniously and fit into each other's lives.
00:05:14Are you really done with your packing?
00:05:15I'm done.
00:05:16Men are from Venus, and women are from Mars.
00:05:20Is that what they say?
00:05:21It's a long trip to Mars, man.
00:05:26We'll need clothes hangers, that's for sure.
00:05:29I'm excited.
00:05:29I'm glad I've got some.
00:05:30I need to hang out my overalls, you know?
00:05:32Oh, my God, the overalls.
00:05:35It's like the ultimate outfit.
00:05:36The fishing gear always brings the ladies.
00:05:39Always.
00:05:40Do not wear the fishing vest.
00:05:42I won't wear the vest.
00:05:43That's the only non-negotiable, okay?
00:05:45Oh, the fishing vest is absolutely ghastly.
00:05:49I'm not going to be seen dead in that.
00:05:51How good is that?
00:05:54That's where it hit the town.
00:05:57She loved it.
00:05:59And she tells you different.
00:06:00She's lying.
00:06:01She loved it.
00:06:07Single mama, Fina, is over the moon to be moving in with her new husband, Adrian.
00:06:14Do you love him?
00:06:15I don't know.
00:06:16Just laughing.
00:06:17At me?
00:06:17Yeah.
00:06:18Why?
00:06:19The fact that you're stuck with me.
00:06:24I'm actually excited to be stuck with you for a bit.
00:06:27Yeah, me too.
00:06:28Adrian and I just moved into our apartments.
00:06:31And it's really nice, actually.
00:06:34I'm actually excited.
00:06:35I just feel like you can't really immerse yourself into this experiment until you actually live
00:06:39together.
00:06:40Here.
00:06:41I got her something.
00:06:43What's that?
00:06:43Hmm?
00:06:44What's that?
00:06:44I thought it would be cute if we did an appreciation jar and you're going to pull, at the end of
00:06:50every day, something that you appreciate that I've done for you and vice versa.
00:06:54And then, at the end of every week, we read what we wrote.
00:06:57Hmm.
00:06:58Yeah?
00:06:59We are still so early on, but I actually feel like Adrian and I have a stronger connection
00:07:05than most couples.
00:07:08There is sexual chemistry.
00:07:10There's a physical attraction.
00:07:12We're both very cuddly and kissy and we're kind to each other.
00:07:15And I can see he is trying.
00:07:19So excited to see where it goes.
00:07:25Across the hall, cohabitation is a chance for Jackie and Ryan to get an insight into each
00:07:32other's way of living.
00:07:33Woo!
00:07:35So pretty.
00:07:37Jackie entered marriage with confidence.
00:07:40I'm highly educated, intelligent, hardworking.
00:07:43I'm a corporate professional.
00:07:44I'm also a former model, dancer and a certified yoga instructor.
00:07:48And high expectations for her groom.
00:07:52But Ryan soon fell short.
00:07:56Yeah.
00:07:57Yeah.
00:07:57Head down the aisle.
00:07:58Oh.
00:08:00We're not in.
00:08:02I was a bit concerned that he didn't take the lead when we had to walk back down the
00:08:06aisle.
00:08:06I was the one who ended up grabbing his hand and leading him down, which I didn't want.
00:08:11Like, that's the one thing I didn't want.
00:08:13I wanted a man to take the lead.
00:08:15Nice one, Roroy.
00:08:16Thanks, guys.
00:08:17Because I don't want to be a one.
00:08:18Like.
00:08:23Ryan stepped up by taking the lead on the dance floor.
00:08:27But it didn't last long.
00:08:29I'm so sorry.
00:08:35He just ruined everything.
00:08:37And while Jackie forgave him then, there's no forgiving him here.
00:08:41Hey, shoes off the couch.
00:08:43It's on the rug.
00:08:44Hey, hey, hey.
00:08:45Leave my shoes off.
00:08:46Shoes off.
00:08:47This is going to be a shoes off household.
00:08:49Oh, is it now?
00:08:50It's a joint discussion.
00:08:52Okay, so can we please...
00:08:53You don't just get to go.
00:08:54This is how it is.
00:08:55I have dirty feet on the couch.
00:09:00I've noticed that she's quite highly strung.
00:09:03And, you know, she's got a lot of ideas for the place.
00:09:05But sometimes she's just, like, chucking them out there one thing at a time.
00:09:08I'm like, look, I'm easy.
00:09:10I'm an easygoing guy.
00:09:11But at the same time, I'm like, you just need to chill a little bit.
00:09:14I know, but, like...
00:09:16Don't leave my shoes alone.
00:09:19Okay, here's the rule.
00:09:20If you want to wear shoes inside, you can vacuum.
00:09:22Here's the rule, hey.
00:09:23We're not down to the negotiation phase yet.
00:09:26I'm just a little bit nervous living with Ryan.
00:09:28Because, like, it's a huge red flag that he, like, walked in and put his shoes on the couch.
00:09:33This is big.
00:09:35Is this...
00:09:36Wait, unless there's another bathroom here.
00:09:38No.
00:09:38Damn it.
00:09:40Okay, this is, like...
00:09:41This is where you'll find me today.
00:09:42I actually don't want the TV in our bedroom.
00:09:46Like, I hate TV.
00:09:49My biggest worry is that Ryan turns on the TV in the bedroom.
00:09:51I can't watch it.
00:09:53It's not going to work.
00:09:54I think electronics are really bad for humankind.
00:09:57Like, people are just dumbing their brains by watching TV.
00:10:00You can't watch TV in there, okay, Ryan?
00:10:02Like, I just don't want the TV...
00:10:03I'll watch TV when I want.
00:10:04No, I don't want TV on the bedroom.
00:10:04I'll watch TV when I want.
00:10:06No, you can watch TV out there, but not in the bedroom, okay?
00:10:09That's, like, non-negotiable.
00:10:10And you don't tell me what's non-negotiable, thank you.
00:10:12Like, it's just going to be annoying.
00:10:15It's just, like...
00:10:16I don't know why you need two TVs in an apartment this small.
00:10:20Like, why does there need to be a TV in the bedroom?
00:10:23Like, there can just be a TV out here.
00:10:24Like, you can't...
00:10:25You don't both need to be watching TV.
00:10:27That's just ridiculous.
00:10:29It's just, like...
00:10:30Yeah.
00:10:30I've got, like, a million summer clothes,
00:10:48and I've got, like, three jumpers.
00:10:51I really did pack well.
00:10:52You packed in reverse.
00:10:53Yeah, I did.
00:10:54I packed wrong.
00:10:54While some couples continue to unpack,
00:10:57Ashley and Jake's conversation
00:11:00turns to unloading last night's dinner party
00:11:03and Elliot's conspicuous absence.
00:11:07Lauren, Elliot.
00:11:10Who would we be saying to?
00:11:16Oh, here's Lauren.
00:11:20After husband Elliot ditched her on the honeymoon,
00:11:24Lauren entered the first dinner party alone.
00:11:26Where's Elliot?
00:11:29Disappointing.
00:11:29And revealed her marriage to Elliot was already over.
00:11:33What is happening?
00:11:35Sorry, I don't have the deal.
00:11:36No one really knows.
00:11:38Like, he just kind of packed his bags for the second...
00:11:40You don't even know?
00:11:41No.
00:11:43I don't know how many people would actually rock up by themselves.
00:11:46Like, to have the courage to actually do that,
00:11:48that's huge.
00:11:48So, to me, that's not a man.
00:11:51You know what a topolino is?
00:11:53A little mouse.
00:11:54I don't know what a topolino.
00:11:57Like, seriously.
00:11:59But Lauren and Elliot's shocked departure from the experiment
00:12:02wasn't the only source of tension at last night's dinner party.
00:12:07All of the drama was circulating around the Tim and Katie situation, eh?
00:12:12After a disastrous wedding and honeymoon, Katie also arrived at the first dinner party alone.
00:12:22He woke me up on, like, wedding night to tell me that he didn't have a spa and he wanted
00:12:29to know if he should leave or not.
00:12:30Arriving separately, Tim proceeded to blame Katie for their relationship problems.
00:12:36All I would say is...
00:12:38I feel like I've been the one making most of the effort, but that's...
00:12:42Are you serious?
00:12:46I feel like I have opened up, but I felt like you haven't won't get to know me at all.
00:12:51So, apparently, I suck at relationships.
00:12:57I'm just disappointed that I didn't get that support.
00:13:00That I would give you no matter what.
00:13:02I don't know if everyone's drinking Kool-Aid here.
00:13:08It looks like she's completely flipped the script.
00:13:10And now she's thinking it's her fault.
00:13:12Her life, Tim, what's going on here?
00:13:16She was someone I wanted it, like, the most for.
00:13:21Yeah.
00:13:22And I felt so bad for her.
00:13:24Like, seeing her come in, holding back the tears, you know.
00:13:27And I'm like, she's being broke.
00:13:28He destroyed her in the process, and that's what I have an issue in.
00:13:32The fact that people started questioning Katie,
00:13:34that's why I went so hard, so hard to air him out.
00:13:45Downstairs, Katie's arriving at the apartments without her husband, Tim.
00:13:51I'm feeling pretty low, actually.
00:13:55There's just been a lot of rejection.
00:13:58A lot of not wanting to be with me.
00:14:04But I'm going to stay powerful.
00:14:07I'm going to stay strong.
00:14:08I'm going to stay compassionate and empathetic.
00:14:13Because I came in here to go on a journey with somebody
00:14:15and get to know them and understand why the experts put us together.
00:14:20I knew we were going to have challenges.
00:14:23I knew we were going to, like, have all of our triggers, like,
00:14:28happening probably all at once.
00:14:30But I was committed to working through that together
00:14:32and holding space and grace for that person to process their stuff
00:14:37with me helping them.
00:14:39I don't know where Tim is.
00:14:50I think Tim needs to be here
00:14:54to see if we can move forward at any pace,
00:14:58even if it's glacial.
00:14:59I don't want to give up.
00:15:03Despite her best hopes, Katie is about to get some devastating news.
00:15:08So, um, Tim has told us he's not moving into the apartments.
00:15:16And he has decided to return home to Melbourne.
00:15:21And he just needs some space to collect his thoughts
00:15:25and to work out where to from here in this experiment for him.
00:15:30Jackie and Ryan have been living together for less than 24 hours,
00:15:46but Ryan has already made another catastrophic mistake.
00:15:51So I just got back from the gym and I come into our bedroom
00:15:55and we have some shoes on the bed.
00:15:58And, OK, so this is becoming a huge problem
00:16:00because it's like, what am I supposed to do about it?
00:16:02In the past, I have, first of all,
00:16:04I have tried asking him to do stuff around the house.
00:16:07When I ask him to do stuff, he tells me
00:16:09he doesn't like being told what to do.
00:16:12So then the next step is I've tried just moving it for him
00:16:15and putting it away for him.
00:16:17So just taking it off the bed.
00:16:18And do you know what he yells at me?
00:16:19He yells at me and says, don't touch my stuff.
00:16:21And he's, like, told me he doesn't like being mothered.
00:16:24Like, I'm getting to the point where I just, like,
00:16:26passively, aggressively say, I love a clean place
00:16:28or, like, I love shoes kept on the ground.
00:16:30And he knows that.
00:16:31I've said it to him a hundred times,
00:16:33so it's nothing new.
00:16:34But I'm also considering, like,
00:16:36whether there's another tactic.
00:16:37Like, the mums out there, like,
00:16:39what do you do when you've got a dirty boy in the house?
00:16:40Like, how do you get them to start behaving?
00:16:44So what is this?
00:16:47Shoes.
00:16:48Why are they on the bed?
00:16:52No particular reason.
00:16:53No particular reason.
00:16:54So why, how did they get on the bed?
00:16:55Actually, you know what?
00:16:56No, I'm going to put those on and go downstairs.
00:16:59These are, by the way, your aeroplane shoes.
00:17:01And look how dirty they are.
00:17:02These are not clean shoes.
00:17:04Everyone's an individual,
00:17:05so they're entitled to live their own life.
00:17:08I may come off as I've got high standards,
00:17:11but if I'm giving you constructive criticism,
00:17:16it's because I think everyone deserves
00:17:18the opportunity to grow in life.
00:17:20So if I'm offering, like, a tip
00:17:24or a piece of advice to someone,
00:17:27it's out of a place of love.
00:17:31Do you see the dirt here?
00:17:33Do you want to lick the dirt off your shoes?
00:17:36Do you want to lick the dirt off your shoes?
00:17:38Yeah.
00:17:39Yeah, anyway, so back to more important things.
00:17:41With the new day,
00:17:51the next challenging phase of the experiment
00:17:54is about to begin.
00:17:58Our first letter.
00:17:59Oh.
00:18:00You've got mail.
00:18:01Ooh.
00:18:02It's Confessions Week.
00:18:04Oh, right.
00:18:06It's Confessions Week.
00:18:09Oh.
00:18:09What does that mean?
00:18:12Yeah, what does that mean?
00:18:13Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:18:15Dun, dun, dun.
00:18:16Confessions Week is a crucial part of the experiment.
00:18:19We want our couples to develop levels of emotional connection,
00:18:22which would normally take months or even years
00:18:25to create in the outside world.
00:18:27Get comfortable getting uncomfortable.
00:18:28Oh.
00:18:30Throughout the week,
00:18:31the couples will face a series of tasks
00:18:33that will challenge them to be honest with one another.
00:18:36They may find these tasks confronting,
00:18:38but each one is carefully designed
00:18:41to help them to be vulnerable with one another
00:18:43so they grow as a couple.
00:18:49OK.
00:18:50The first Confessions Week task is a test of attraction
00:18:54and is one of the most confronting of the experiment.
00:18:58OK, what do you think it is?
00:19:00OK.
00:19:02In this envelope are photos of all the other brides and grooms
00:19:07in this experiment.
00:19:08Oh, no.
00:19:09From left to right,
00:19:10you must place the photos in order of who you find most attractive
00:19:13to who you are least attracted to.
00:19:18Bring it on.
00:19:19The photo ranking task asks our couples to reveal what they find attractive in a partner.
00:19:27How they balance honesty with empathy for their partner's feelings
00:19:30is crucial for this stage of the experiment.
00:19:33Paul, like, is obviously an attractive guy,
00:19:42but he's actually not my type.
00:19:43Do you have a photo?
00:19:44Oh.
00:19:45A bit small.
00:19:46It is a nice photo.
00:19:47Actually, in fact, I actually love everyone's smile here.
00:19:51He has always said how attractive I am.
00:19:56Ryan, I did the second best looking based on these photos.
00:19:59I'm definitely going to be at the top of the list.
00:20:01Whether you call it confidence or self-love, I don't know.
00:20:05I call it self-love.
00:20:08And then Billy is there.
00:20:12Cool.
00:20:13Now do yours.
00:20:16And I actually do honestly find you the most attractive,
00:20:20me being honest.
00:20:24Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, my friend.
00:20:26Adrian is like a knockout.
00:20:28I think I'm the best looking guy here.
00:20:30Yeah.
00:20:31Without a doubt.
00:20:31Yeah, go on.
00:20:32In person.
00:20:33I knew I was at the top of the list anyway.
00:20:37And I know who's going to be first on my list.
00:20:39Oh, hey, just put me out there then.
00:20:41Hmm?
00:20:41Just put me out there then.
00:20:42Just put me out there then.
00:20:42I'm putting you up there.
00:20:44Huh?
00:20:44Hmm.
00:20:46I know I'm attractive,
00:20:47but you're not going to be everyone's cup of tea.
00:20:49I always say that.
00:20:51I'm interested to see where I stand on a scale.
00:20:55Jamie!
00:20:56Jamie.
00:20:56Oh, Jamie is very photogenic,
00:20:59but she looks like that in real life too.
00:21:00She's stunning.
00:21:01Yeah.
00:21:02I mean, it comes to physical,
00:21:03but I know what I'm looking for.
00:21:07Sarah.
00:21:08She's good looking, dark hair, tall.
00:21:11Yeah, you like tall.
00:21:12Hmm.
00:21:13Being honest is not hard for me.
00:21:14I'm honest always.
00:21:16Tall and dark hair.
00:21:17I don't think you're tired.
00:21:17I'm blonde and short.
00:21:21I'm going to pick the most attractive to me.
00:21:24And then I'll put Rie.
00:21:27Rie.
00:21:27Rie, sorry.
00:21:28I think Rie's good looking.
00:21:31I think she's attractive.
00:21:36Last but not least.
00:21:38I don't know.
00:21:41Nah.
00:21:43You're number one.
00:21:44By far.
00:21:46Actually, it's...
00:21:47every year.
00:21:49We're not even close to them.
00:21:53No.
00:21:55By far, honestly,
00:21:56when I meant it,
00:21:57like, if I had to pair them up
00:21:58and I didn't know anyone,
00:22:00but it would still be my top pick,
00:22:01100%.
00:22:02By far.
00:22:04This makes complete sense.
00:22:05These two beauties.
00:22:07That's it.
00:22:07Photo ranking.
00:22:10It was actually fun.
00:22:11I enjoyed it.
00:22:12I had a good time.
00:22:17Karina and Paul
00:22:18are also doing
00:22:19the photo ranking task.
00:22:22My little princess.
00:22:23Yeah.
00:22:24My beautiful Italian princess here.
00:22:28Princessa.
00:22:29Princess.
00:22:30Well, you,
00:22:31I am,
00:22:31without hesitation,
00:22:33going to put you
00:22:34back.
00:22:35Right up there.
00:22:36Karina responded
00:22:41pretty well
00:22:42to my ranking.
00:22:43My husband.
00:22:45We both
00:22:46put each other
00:22:47right on top.
00:22:48You're like a 500
00:22:50out of a 10.
00:22:51Yeah, you are.
00:22:52Like, I'm so attracted
00:22:53to you.
00:22:54You've just got
00:22:55a beautiful face structure.
00:22:57You're just throwing off
00:22:5850 shades of grey
00:22:59vibes and,
00:23:01you know,
00:23:01very masculine
00:23:03man.
00:23:04Thank you, darling.
00:23:05Mwah.
00:23:08Despite their
00:23:09move-in squabbles,
00:23:11Jackie is hoping
00:23:12the photo ranking task
00:23:13will bring her
00:23:14and husband Ryan
00:23:16closer together.
00:23:17So,
00:23:18I actually really
00:23:20am attracted to
00:23:21Jeff because
00:23:21Jeff's got that height.
00:23:23Girls love a giant.
00:23:24Yeah.
00:23:24And I have you,
00:23:27Ryan.
00:23:28I would like to
00:23:29actually
00:23:29put you,
00:23:32um,
00:23:33I am
00:23:34putting you
00:23:36up here
00:23:36first.
00:23:40Oh, really?
00:23:41Yes.
00:23:43Yes, I'm feeling
00:23:44attracted to Ryan.
00:23:45It's definitely
00:23:47a spark
00:23:48and I think
00:23:49we are
00:23:50on the same
00:23:51page.
00:23:52Yeah.
00:23:54That's
00:23:54lovely.
00:23:56I mean,
00:23:56I do have a good
00:23:57smile up there.
00:23:59All right.
00:24:00Let's get this over with.
00:24:09Okay.
00:24:10What are you now?
00:24:10Yeah,
00:24:11it was pretty clear
00:24:11that I'm not
00:24:12attracted to
00:24:12older women.
00:24:15Next we got
00:24:16Ashley.
00:24:17Ashley.
00:24:18Mm-hmm.
00:24:19Any reason?
00:24:21Yeah,
00:24:21I don't think we'd
00:24:22have that chemistry.
00:24:23You know,
00:24:23she's probably
00:24:24a nice person,
00:24:25but, uh,
00:24:25yeah,
00:24:25just going on
00:24:26physicality.
00:24:27I'm going to be
00:24:27100% honest.
00:24:29I'm going to follow
00:24:30what's true to my
00:24:30instincts and
00:24:32rate them accordingly.
00:24:33Yeah,
00:24:33it's pretty simple,
00:24:34really.
00:24:34There's no other way.
00:24:36There's no other way.
00:24:37I'm not here to
00:24:37around.
00:24:39Next up is
00:24:40Katie.
00:24:41Oh,
00:24:41Katie.
00:24:42Yeah.
00:24:44I guess I've got
00:24:45high expectations
00:24:46for what I'd like
00:24:47in a partner.
00:24:48All right.
00:24:50Athena.
00:24:51This wasn't
00:24:52attracted to her.
00:24:54Loyalty is
00:24:55one of my
00:24:56number one values
00:24:56and I deserve
00:24:57a man who
00:24:58makes me feel
00:24:59like the most
00:24:59special person
00:25:00in the world
00:25:00and puts me
00:25:01first.
00:25:02Okay,
00:25:03so I think
00:25:04Sierra is
00:25:06quite pretty
00:25:07in the face,
00:25:09like very
00:25:10feminine
00:25:10and nice
00:25:11hair and
00:25:12everything.
00:25:12I just
00:25:13probably couldn't
00:25:13date a woman
00:25:14taller than me.
00:25:15Okay,
00:25:16there's
00:25:17Karina.
00:25:20I feel like
00:25:21putting your
00:25:21partner first
00:25:22is just such
00:25:22an easy thing
00:25:23to put your
00:25:23relationship
00:25:24in the strongest
00:25:25position to
00:25:26move forward.
00:25:27Okay,
00:25:27there's
00:25:28Rhi,
00:25:29my top choice.
00:25:30So,
00:25:31Rhi.
00:25:32She has got
00:25:32one of the
00:25:33rarest combinations
00:25:34of the blue
00:25:35eyes,
00:25:36dark hair
00:25:37and that's
00:25:37always been
00:25:38kind of a
00:25:38weakness for
00:25:39me.
00:25:41Like,
00:25:41ultimately,
00:25:42everyone knows
00:25:43that you should
00:25:43always put
00:25:44your wife
00:25:44first.
00:25:45Like,
00:25:45I'm pretty
00:25:46sure Brian
00:25:46will put
00:25:47me first.
00:25:48I'm going
00:25:49to be 100%
00:25:49honest.
00:25:52I used
00:25:53to be a
00:25:53model and
00:25:54was even
00:25:54Miss New
00:25:55Zealand.
00:25:55Yeah,
00:25:56and I've
00:25:57got brains
00:25:57as well.
00:25:58Alright,
00:25:59getting down
00:26:00to the
00:26:00business end
00:26:02now.
00:26:02Yeah.
00:26:04I'm going
00:26:26to be 100%
00:26:27honest.
00:26:29Everyone
00:26:30knows that
00:26:30you should
00:26:31always put
00:26:31your wife
00:26:32first.
00:26:32And so
00:26:33if he
00:26:34doesn't
00:26:34put me
00:26:35first,
00:26:35it would
00:26:36be really
00:26:36disappointing.
00:26:38Alright,
00:26:39last one.
00:26:44I'll
00:26:44put you
00:26:45third.
00:26:56Yeah.
00:26:58Alright,
00:26:59that's it.
00:26:59so, yeah,
00:27:08that's my
00:27:09honest,
00:27:10honest
00:27:11interpretation
00:27:11of that.
00:27:13I probably
00:27:14would have
00:27:14put you
00:27:15two
00:27:15as
00:27:16equally
00:27:17attractive
00:27:18or maybe
00:27:18her a little
00:27:19bit more
00:27:20attractive
00:27:20if she
00:27:22wasn't
00:27:22quite so
00:27:22tall.
00:27:23But, yeah,
00:27:37I was
00:27:37always going
00:27:37to be 100%
00:27:38honest and
00:27:39that's
00:27:39definitely
00:27:39the order
00:27:39I put
00:27:40them in.
00:27:42Yeah,
00:27:42that's for
00:27:42sure.
00:27:48Yeah,
00:27:49Sierra to me
00:27:50has a much
00:27:50more attractive
00:27:51face.
00:27:53And, yeah,
00:27:58like,
00:27:58she has
00:27:59dark hair
00:27:59and that's
00:28:00what absolutely
00:28:01slays me.
00:28:02Yeah,
00:28:02she's very
00:28:02attractive.
00:28:04Karina does
00:28:05look quite
00:28:05European looking,
00:28:06which I've
00:28:07just kind of
00:28:07drawn to that
00:28:08look.
00:28:08My top
00:28:09choice.
00:28:10Just personal
00:28:11preference.
00:28:12They'd have
00:28:13to be, like,
00:28:13absolutely
00:28:13blowing my
00:28:14mind stunning.
00:28:18Yeah,
00:28:19just kind of
00:28:19like,
00:28:19it stands
00:28:20out to me.
00:28:20Yeah.
00:28:22It's pretty
00:28:23shit just
00:28:23knowing my
00:28:24partner has
00:28:25no care
00:28:25about my
00:28:26feelings.
00:28:27Yeah.
00:28:29I was
00:28:29very honest.
00:28:30I'm not
00:28:31here to hurt
00:28:31feelings,
00:28:31but I'm
00:28:32also not
00:28:32here to
00:28:32bullshit.
00:28:34I'm glad
00:28:35that's over
00:28:36now.
00:28:37I think
00:28:37we got
00:28:38out okay.
00:28:40Did
00:28:40so much
00:28:41choices
00:28:41surprise you?
00:28:42I don't
00:28:43think Ryan
00:28:43understands
00:28:44what it
00:28:44means to
00:28:45be in a
00:28:45marriage.
00:28:46I have
00:28:48no words.
00:28:49I deserve
00:28:49someone who
00:28:50makes me feel
00:28:51like the most
00:28:51beautiful girl
00:28:51in the world,
00:28:52and that's not
00:28:53Ryan.
00:28:55It's just
00:28:56really disappointing
00:28:56and unimpressive,
00:28:58and it's not
00:28:59okay.
00:29:00Whew.
00:29:01Good times.
00:29:01While there's
00:29:05tension in the
00:29:05air at
00:29:06Jackie and
00:29:07Ryan's,
00:29:10our other
00:29:11couples are
00:29:12settling in for
00:29:13their first

00:29:32Adrian are
00:29:32putting their
00:29:33appreciation jar

00:29:36thing where you
00:29:36appreciate about
00:29:37each other
00:29:37today?

00:29:48I appreciate
00:29:49when you don't

00:29:53But in
00:29:54Jackie and
00:29:54Ryan's
00:29:55apartment,
00:29:56the mood
00:29:57has turned
00:29:58from bad
00:29:59to worse.
00:30:00why is this
00:30:18making you
00:30:20upset?
00:30:20He's like
00:30:23really
00:30:23disappointing.

00:30:27I deserve
00:30:28someone great.

00:30:31the most
00:30:31beautiful girl
00:30:31in the world.
00:30:33He's like
00:30:34a low-effort
00:30:35man who
00:30:37deserves a
00:30:37low-effort
00:30:38girl.
00:30:39Because that's
00:30:39not me.
00:30:40Like, I came
00:30:40into this
00:30:41experiment with
00:30:42a list of
00:30:4250 things I
00:30:44wanted to do
00:30:44with my
00:30:44partner.
00:30:45Like, buy
00:30:46100 candles
00:30:47and light
00:30:47the room.
00:30:49It's
00:30:50so romantic.
00:30:50like, he
00:30:51doesn't deserve
00:30:52any of that.
00:30:58It's just
00:30:58stupid.
00:30:59Like, we're
00:30:59here for a
00:31:00marriage.
00:31:00coming up.
00:31:16You must
00:31:16ask your
00:31:17match some
00:31:18hard-hitting
00:31:18questions about
00:31:19their exes.
00:31:20Revenge is a
00:31:21dish best
00:31:22served cold.
00:31:24We'll see how

00:31:44the process
00:31:45of getting

00:31:46But sharing
00:31:58a home for
00:31:59the first
00:31:59time may
00:32:00also be an
00:32:01opportunity to
00:32:02share with
00:32:03each other
00:32:03their nocturnal
00:32:05behaviours.

00:32:09Tony makes
00:32:11a lot of
00:32:12noise when
00:32:13he sleeps.
00:32:14You're like

00:33:52I'm good with
00:33:53animals usually,
00:33:54but I'm
00:33:55terrified of
00:33:55birds.
00:33:56I hate
00:33:56them.
00:33:57Ooh.
00:33:58Did he
00:33:58slip on?
00:33:59Ooh, I
00:33:59thought he
00:33:59was going
00:34:00to bite you.
00:34:00Yeah, he
00:34:01was.
00:34:02I like
00:34:03human
00:34:03birds.
00:34:04Oh, it
00:34:05really
00:34:05doesn't
00:34:06look
00:34:06comfortable.
00:34:07Stop
00:34:08coming near
00:34:09me with
00:34:09them.
00:34:10Come here.
00:34:10No.
00:34:11Be a big
00:34:11boy.
00:34:12I didn't
00:34:12realise that
00:34:13Billy was
00:34:14such a
00:34:14sensitive teddy
00:34:15bear.
00:34:16Stop it,
00:34:16please.
00:34:16Look at you
00:34:17with your

00:34:18your muscles.
00:34:18It's making
00:34:18me feel
00:34:18weird.
00:34:19I think
00:34:19it's just
00:34:20so funny
00:34:20that he's
00:34:20just tattooed
00:34:21and muscly
00:34:22and 6'1",
00:34:23but he's

00:39:03is forever.
00:39:04Like yeah
00:39:04just a natural
00:39:05person.
00:39:06Like I'm
00:39:06not Brad
00:39:07Pitts.
00:39:08I'm not
00:39:08expecting
00:39:08Miranda Kerr.
00:39:10When you
00:39:11meet them for
00:39:11the first
00:39:12time in
00:39:12person,
00:39:13what we
00:39:13can't
00:39:14control is
00:39:15that spark
00:39:15and whether
00:39:16that initial
00:39:17kind of
00:39:17chemistry is
00:39:18there.
00:39:19If that
00:39:19doesn't happen
00:39:20for you,
00:39:21how do you
00:39:21think you
00:39:22would tackle
00:39:22that?
00:39:24I'm willing
00:39:25to give it
00:39:25a go because
00:39:26yeah, it is
00:39:26going to be
00:39:26such a
00:39:27pressure cooker
00:39:28that first
00:39:28time.
00:39:33So are
00:39:34you saying
00:39:35that you
00:39:35would work
00:39:35at it?
00:39:36Yeah.
00:39:37Oh yeah,
00:39:38where the
00:39:38are you,
00:39:40huh?
00:39:41that was
00:39:46full of lies
00:39:48like
00:39:48that was
00:39:49just
00:39:50complete
00:39:50and utter
00:39:51bullshit.
00:39:56He's got
00:39:57some answering
00:39:57to do.
00:39:59I'm so proud of you.
00:40:20Was it?
00:40:21Yeah.
00:40:21That was it.
00:40:22As another day of Confessions Week continues,
00:40:26it's Morena and Tony's turn to take on the photo ranking challenge.
00:40:31I don't look too bad at all.
00:40:32Not bad for an old stocker.
00:40:34Stop, look, I'll let you keep the photo.
00:40:36So, I'm actually really excited about it today.
00:40:39I'm an outgoing guy, you know, I like to joke around and laugh.
00:40:43So hopefully we have a bit of fun, a bit of communication.
00:40:46Let's start.
00:40:47I'm not here to date young men.
00:40:54I'm not here to rate young men.
00:40:55Hang on a minute.
00:40:57I'm younger than you.
00:40:59It's only four years.
00:41:01One, two, three, four.
00:41:03That's all it is.
00:41:04So, it's not that much.
00:41:10So, based on what I got in one dinner party...
00:41:17..this gentleman.
00:41:24He's got a lot of things going for himself.
00:41:27But he wasn't interested in talking to me.
00:41:31I don't find that attractive.
00:41:34At all.
00:41:37Attractive young man.
00:41:38But he didn't speak to me.
00:41:44So, for me...
00:41:44..that's why I put him here.
00:41:49This gorgeous spark...
00:41:52..he also didn't speak to me.
00:41:56Is it because I'm old?
00:41:59Is it because I don't want nothing from her?
00:42:02I'm all about...
00:42:04..with people, regardless...
00:42:06..what age group you are,
00:42:08regardless if I think I'm going to get something out of you or not.
00:42:11You acknowledge everybody.
00:42:13I...
00:42:13I will speak to you like you.
00:42:17I don't think it's all, man.
00:42:23Sometimes I say, no, I'm good.
00:42:25When's your mind?
00:42:26I'm back on the fishing chart.
00:42:35Oh, God.
00:42:41Everything will be all right.
00:42:44I know I go deep.
00:42:46Oh, you go deep.
00:42:48These guys have all got something that's really special.
00:42:52And...
00:42:53Across the hall,
00:42:58Billy is serving dinner and a show.
00:43:01I feel like chicken and that.
00:43:02I feel like chicken and that.
00:43:06Was that twerk?
00:43:10With his usual flair,
00:43:13Billy made sure that his and Sierra's first meeting was memorable.
00:43:17Oh, yes!
00:43:19Will you marry me?
00:43:21I can.
00:43:21While sparks flew at Billy and Sierra's wedding,
00:43:25the real fireworks were on their honeymoon.
00:43:29Um, I saw Billy's willy last night.
00:43:33I think we're going to need the energy for today.
00:43:35Yeah, just to be able to actually stand up.
00:43:37It's going to take a lot.
00:43:39Going really good with Billy.
00:43:40He's a very impressive man.
00:43:41He just keeps getting better and better.
00:43:42Today, the couple are facing the confessions letter task.
00:43:47And for the first time since entering the experiment,
00:43:51Billy has lost his positive energy
00:43:53as he faces a past he's tried to forget.
00:43:58Coming into this experiment,
00:44:00I'm wanting to give it my all.
00:44:02I'm wanting to show Sierra the reason why I am the man I am.
00:44:09But I've never talked about what I'm about to tell Sierra
00:44:13with any of my partners.
00:44:16And opening up about this part of my life,
00:44:19I'm revisiting a load of feelings that I'd shut away.
00:44:27Like, it affected me for far too long.
00:44:30I'm scared that I'm just going to get hurt.
00:44:32My biggest fear right now is that
00:44:34if I put all my vulnerability out there
00:44:37and I've told her the thing that's closest to my heart,
00:44:42she might just think I'm damaged goods.
00:44:44All I ever wanted was a dad that cared,
00:44:54wanted to be there for me and love me.
00:45:00But not having him around made me feel rejected.
00:45:06I feel like I've been the one that has always chased a relationship
00:45:09and received a little back.
00:45:14Eight years ago, I returned back to the UK
00:45:20in the hope of reconnecting with my dad.
00:45:30God.
00:45:36I mean...
00:45:37I hope he would have picked up the phone.
00:45:56Sorry, I can't actually get the words out.
00:45:58I'm going to apologise.
00:46:03I hoped he would have picked up the phone
00:46:05or wanted to see me,
00:46:07but he didn't.
00:46:19Being rejected by someone who
00:46:22should have wanted to be there
00:46:24has broken me.
00:46:25I worry that if I share this information
00:46:30with someone
00:46:31that they will not be there for me
00:46:33when I need them to be
00:46:34because of the fear of...
00:46:36..rejection.
00:46:43So I hope me telling you this
00:46:44doesn't push you away
00:46:45and it gives you a better understanding
00:46:48of me
00:46:48as a person.
00:46:51That was beautiful.
00:46:57That was really, really heartbreaking.
00:47:10Yeah, I just...
00:47:11I couldn't imagine that
00:47:12and...
00:47:13Yeah, it's just awful.
00:47:15Like, I actually almost wanted to cry for him,
00:47:17but I just felt like I had to be
00:47:19a bit stronger in that situation
00:47:20to support him.
00:47:22Yeah, like, I'm really grateful
00:47:23that you shared all that stuff with me
00:47:25because I didn't know how hard that was.
00:47:27I'm not saying that he is
00:47:29a bad person.
00:47:30Yeah.
00:47:31He just didn't know how to be a dad.
00:47:35All a lad
00:47:36when I was kind of, like,
00:47:37growing up is that...
00:47:39You just want your dad...
00:47:39Father, son, bonked.
00:47:40Yeah.
00:47:43And...
00:47:43But, like, I missed out.
00:47:45Yeah.
00:47:48You don't have to worry about that
00:47:50at all
00:47:51with me.
00:47:53Thanks.
00:47:56Appreciate you seeing that.
00:47:58It's true.
00:48:01I'm not used to someone being around
00:48:03and to kind of be there
00:48:05and understand.
00:48:07I guess it makes me feel
00:48:09that I'm...
00:48:10I don't know,
00:48:11I'm not in this alone.
00:48:13We're in this together.
00:48:14I've got you.
00:48:23It's confessions week
00:48:27and Afina and Adrian
00:48:30are about to start
00:48:31their next task.
00:48:32Wow, interviews.
00:48:33Where they will find out
00:48:34exactly what the other asked for
00:48:37in their audition video.
00:48:38I'm also excited to see yours.
00:48:41Yeah, I don't even remember
00:48:42what I said.
00:48:43Oh, really?
00:48:43You don't remember at all?
00:48:44I've said a lot.
00:48:45Who knows?
00:48:45Yeah, I'm excited to see
00:48:47what that lot was
00:48:48that you said.
00:48:49I wanted to see
00:48:50what he was after
00:48:51in a partner
00:48:51and whether or not
00:48:52I aligned with that
00:48:53vice versa.
00:48:56The pair hit a roadblock
00:48:58on their honeymoon
00:48:59when Adrian's feelings
00:49:00about being a potential
00:49:02stepfather to Afina's son
00:49:04became evident.
00:49:07And if I'm being
00:49:08100% honest,
00:49:10I don't know if I can love
00:49:12my kids as much as
00:49:14your kid.
00:49:16My name's Adrian.
00:49:22I'm from Sydney
00:49:23and I own my own
00:49:24business, e-commerce.
00:49:26I still believe in
00:49:26the old school traditions,
00:49:27you know,
00:49:28I want to get married
00:49:28because it's a commitment,
00:49:30you know,
00:49:30and marriage is a big thing
00:49:31and I do believe in it.
00:49:33Do you want kids?
00:49:35Yeah, of course.
00:49:36We'll have them yesterday.
00:49:37Really?
00:49:38Yeah.
00:49:38Are you ready to be a dad?
00:49:39Yeah, for sure.
00:49:39Again, I feel like
00:49:40I've worked on myself a lot.
00:49:42I've got myself a dog
00:49:43so you can say I am.
00:49:46I think it's just
00:49:50frustrating because, like,
00:49:51we get along really well
00:49:52and there is a physical
00:49:54attraction and I actually
00:49:57do think he's a great guy
00:50:00but I do have a six-year-old
00:50:01child and if I'm here
00:50:04pursuing this, I need to
00:50:06know that the other person
00:50:07on the other end's open
00:50:08to the idea of me being a
00:50:09mum.
00:50:12The only part of that
00:50:14video is when we mention
00:50:16kids and you're like,
00:50:18yeah, I would have had kids
00:50:18yesterday.
00:50:20It's like...
00:50:21Yeah.
00:50:23Why is that annoying?
00:50:24Because it's probably why
00:50:25they matched us together.
00:50:27I would look that and be like,
00:50:30someone's saying they could
00:50:31have kids yesterday.
00:50:32It's like someone saying
00:50:32they're ready to be a dad
00:50:34now.
00:50:34Yeah, I never said
00:50:35I wasn't ready to be a dad.
00:50:38I just didn't say I wanted
00:50:40to be someone else's dad.
00:50:40I looked at how bad kids
00:50:44two, three years ago
00:50:45by my own.
00:50:48And I didn't say I want
00:50:49someone else's kid.
00:50:50You do stop using that
00:50:51language.
00:50:52You're very like...
00:50:53I'm just saying that
00:50:55you're not open because
00:50:56I am a mum.
00:50:57You're not actually open
00:50:58to even letting me in,
00:51:00really.
00:51:01I told you from the start.
00:51:02I literally told you from
00:51:03the second that you said
00:51:05I had a kid that it was
00:51:06going to be a problem.
00:51:07Like, we've parked it
00:51:09because we said when we
00:51:10get to know each other
00:51:11it could be something
00:51:12we're open to.
00:51:14But the language you're
00:51:15using right now is...
00:51:16It's very, like,
00:51:17definite.
00:51:19You know, like,
00:51:20final.
00:51:22It's not a small issue
00:51:22to me.
00:51:23It's a big issue.
00:51:24Something that means a
00:51:25lot to me.
00:51:25And what you're saying
00:51:26right now is a huge issue
00:51:27to me because it's kind
00:51:28of like...
00:51:28Yeah, and I get that.
00:51:29I mean, I knew this
00:51:30from day one.
00:51:31I didn't lie.
00:51:31I didn't hide it to you.
00:51:32I was open and honest.
00:51:34And I've been very open
00:51:35with you.
00:51:35What you're saying...
00:51:36And I agree.
00:51:37...put walls up on me, too.
00:51:38So I just don't feel like
00:51:39you and I are ever going
00:51:40to get past this
00:51:41surface-level connection.
00:51:43I feel angry, hurt, upset.
00:51:46I'm not used to having
00:51:47those confrontational
00:51:48conversations, but I just
00:51:51feel like I need to say
00:51:51my piece.
00:51:53Why are you still here?
00:51:53Because you don't want
00:51:54someone with children.
00:51:55Why are you still here?
00:51:55You know what you want.
00:51:56Adrian.
00:51:56Because I don't know
00:51:57what I don't know.
00:51:57You know what you want.
00:51:58I do.
00:51:59But now you don't know
00:51:59what you don't know.
00:52:00I do.
00:52:00That makes sense.
00:52:00I know I want to be here.
00:52:01You don't know what you want.
00:52:02I know I want to be here.
00:52:03Okay.
00:52:03For what reason?
00:52:04Because you don't want
00:52:05someone with a child.
00:52:05It's easy.
00:52:07It is new for me.
00:52:09I don't usually date
00:52:09women with kids.
00:52:11I also have
00:52:11old school traditions.
00:52:13You know, I do...
00:52:15I come from a family
00:52:15under one roof.
00:52:17So that's important to me.
00:52:19I'm trying to keep
00:52:20her open mind, yeah.
00:52:21She ticks
00:52:21eight out of ten boxes.
00:52:24So that's what keeps me
00:52:26and I do like her.
00:52:30You know,
00:52:31I don't think she likes me,
00:52:32but at the same time
00:52:33having kids
00:52:34is a beautiful thing.
00:52:36I think it's a special moment
00:52:37in everyone's life.
00:52:38I would like to
00:52:39have that first
00:52:40with someone else's first.
00:52:43And that's...
00:52:43I feel strongly about it.
00:52:45It's hard.
00:53:00Next.
00:53:00That's a huge compliment,
00:53:02big statement to me.
00:53:04Yeah, I'm being honest.
00:53:07Jackie's revenge.
00:53:09That's big.
00:53:12That's big.
00:53:14No one likes to be
00:53:14in this situation
00:53:15with the ring on.
00:53:17Like, you're married to me.
00:53:17With husband Tim's return
00:53:39still in doubt,
00:53:40Katie has decided
00:53:41to invite Ashley
00:53:42and Jamie over
00:53:43for some much-needed
00:53:45girl support.
00:53:46It's not fun
00:53:49to be here alone.
00:53:52So I wanted to
00:53:53catch up with Ash and Jamie
00:53:55and update them.
00:53:58About the disastrous time
00:54:00this has become.
00:54:03Come in!
00:54:04No!
00:54:05Come in!
00:54:06I know.
00:54:15Oh, my God.
00:54:15I've been so worried.
00:54:17Charlie's Angels,
00:54:18back together.
00:54:20She's off.
00:54:21She's off.
00:54:22Okay, so number one.
00:54:23Oh, my God.
00:54:23Okay, coming everything.
00:54:24Oh, don't.
00:54:25I am dying to know
00:54:28what the F is going on.
00:54:31How the bloody hell are you?
00:54:33What's happened
00:54:34since the dinner party?
00:54:36Has he come
00:54:37to this apartment?
00:54:39No.
00:54:39You have not seen him
00:54:40at all since the dinner party?
00:54:41No.
00:54:42Oh.
00:54:47Yeah, so...
00:54:48Wait, so where the hell
00:54:49is your husband?
00:54:50Yeah, so where...
00:54:51Well, long story short,
00:54:52like, he's ghosted me
00:54:54back to Melbourne.
00:54:55Completely.
00:54:57He's totally
00:54:58gone back to Melbourne.
00:54:58He's left.
00:54:59Yeah.
00:55:02Don't even let me
00:55:03get into this right now.
00:55:04Like, imagine being
00:55:0538 years old
00:55:06and ghosting.
00:55:07He's a wussy pussy.
00:55:10This whole experience
00:55:12for me
00:55:12has been
00:55:13a real-life
00:55:14Tinder swipe left.
00:55:15Yeah.
00:55:15On me.
00:55:16And I'm, like,
00:55:17just going,
00:55:18oh, shit.
00:55:20That's just rubbish.
00:55:21She deserves
00:55:22better than that.
00:55:23Katie deserves
00:55:24much better than that.
00:55:26He didn't even
00:55:27give it a crack.
00:55:28He didn't even
00:55:29give her a shot.
00:55:31Hitting rock bottom,
00:55:32babe.
00:55:32The only way is up now.
00:55:33Yeah.
00:55:35At the end of the day,
00:55:35I'm a true believer
00:55:36everything comes
00:55:37to a reason
00:55:38and I think
00:55:38this is the last
00:55:39piece you needed
00:55:40to remember
00:55:40who you are,
00:55:41what you can offer
00:55:42to meet the most
00:55:43amazing person.
00:55:44You honestly
00:55:45will be stronger
00:55:46for it.
00:55:46Yeah.
00:55:47I said in my vows,
00:55:49like,
00:55:49it's not
00:55:49how you fall
00:55:51or if you fall
00:55:53that matters.
00:55:54It's how you get
00:55:54back up.
00:55:55100%.
00:55:56So,
00:55:58onwards and upwards
00:55:59for me.
00:55:59It's not the end
00:56:00of your story, babe.
00:56:01Yeah.
00:56:02You are on the arm
00:56:02for sure.
00:56:04Climb back up
00:56:05on my throat
00:56:06and fire.
00:56:07Yes.
00:56:07And slay.
00:56:08Yes.
00:56:09You're killing it.
00:56:10What I've been through
00:56:11with Tim
00:56:11has been
00:56:13an epic failure.
00:56:16However,
00:56:17I've learnt a lot
00:56:18about myself.
00:56:19I've learnt that
00:56:19I'm strong
00:56:20and I'm powerful
00:56:21and I'm worthy
00:56:23and I can get back up.
00:56:26Oh.
00:56:26No knocking me down,
00:56:30mother
00:56:30cheers to that.
00:56:32Cheers to that.
00:56:41Well, well, well.
00:56:43Come on,
00:56:43give me the gossip.
00:56:44With the experiment
00:56:45in its 12th season,
00:56:47the experts
00:56:48have raised
00:56:48the stakes
00:56:49by introducing
00:56:50a brand new task
00:56:52to Confessions Week.
00:56:54I'm nervous.
00:56:56It's another letter.
00:56:58The X-Files task
00:57:00is a world first
00:57:01for the experiment.
00:57:03This is heavy.
00:57:04There's like,
00:57:05there's a lot of stuff
00:57:06in there.
00:57:07It's like just a normal letter.
00:57:09No, I don't think so.
00:57:09We have introduced
00:57:11a new task
00:57:12to Confessions Week
00:57:13which asks our couples
00:57:15to be open
00:57:15about their ex-partners.
00:57:18Understanding ex-partners
00:57:19and past relationships
00:57:20can help new partners
00:57:22get a better idea
00:57:23of their spouses.
00:57:24However,
00:57:25they can also be
00:57:26an insecurity
00:57:27for couples
00:57:27early on
00:57:28in a relationship.
00:57:31What have you learnt
00:57:32about yourself
00:57:33from dating your ex?
00:57:35I think what I've learnt
00:57:36about myself
00:57:37is I don't trust
00:57:38my gut often enough.
00:57:39I remember
00:57:39I was seeing this guy
00:57:41and he was like
00:57:42an athlete
00:57:43kind of thing
00:57:44and he was in Australia
00:57:45playing sport
00:57:47but I just had this
00:57:48feeling in the back
00:57:49of my mind
00:57:50that something wasn't right
00:57:51but it turns out
00:57:52he actually had like
00:57:52a missus
00:57:53and a kid
00:57:54back from the country
00:57:55he was from.
00:57:57Crazy.
00:57:59Did you have
00:58:00a healthy sex life
00:58:01with your ex?
00:58:01Why or why not?
00:58:03Yeah, no,
00:58:03I had a healthy
00:58:05sex life relationship.
00:58:07Yeah, I had a very
00:58:08healthy one.
00:58:10I mean it's important
00:58:10in a relationship
00:58:11to be honest.
00:58:12Yeah.
00:58:12Sex is boring
00:58:13and...
00:58:14If you
00:58:15could
00:58:18do it
00:58:19anywhere
00:58:20other than a bed
00:58:21or you want
00:58:22to try somewhere
00:58:23where would it be?
00:58:25And you wear
00:58:26a bloody sexy outfit
00:58:27I'll grab you
00:58:28or lift you up
00:58:28I'll put you down
00:58:29right on the table
00:58:30and then I'll reach
00:58:30you close off you
00:58:31and then that's
00:58:32you know what I mean?
00:58:32Like that's
00:58:32the kind of things
00:58:34I like.
00:58:34I like it very spontaneous.
00:58:35Exactly.
00:58:36I like it very spontaneous.
00:58:38I know.
00:58:38I love that.
00:58:39Thank God.
00:58:41Across the hall
00:58:42Jackie is coming
00:58:44to the X-Files task
00:58:45still feeling rejected
00:58:47after Ryan ranked her
00:58:49third in the photo ranking task.
00:58:51I found that tough
00:58:57to go through.
00:58:58He hurt my feelings
00:58:59a little bit.
00:59:01You must
00:59:01ask your match
00:59:03some hard-hitting questions
00:59:04about their exes.
00:59:06Past relationships
00:59:07can help new partners
00:59:08get a better idea
00:59:09of their spouses.
00:59:10However,
00:59:11they can also be
00:59:11an insecurity
00:59:12for couples early on
00:59:13in a relationship.
00:59:17Be vulnerable,
00:59:18brave
00:59:19and let your partner in.
00:59:20The experts.
00:59:20Wow,
00:59:27this is great.
00:59:28After that challenge
00:59:29yesterday,
00:59:30I don't feel
00:59:31reserved
00:59:33in being honest
00:59:34with him today
00:59:34and just laying it out there.
00:59:37So,
00:59:37we'll see how
00:59:38he likes
00:59:39brutal honesty.
00:59:40Jackie is using
00:59:56the X-Files task
00:59:58as an opportunity
00:59:59to get just as honest
01:00:01with Ryan
01:00:01as he was with her
01:00:03in the photo ranking task.
01:00:05All right,
01:00:07I'm ready.
01:00:08I'm ready.
01:00:09Well,
01:00:09we've got some questions here.
01:00:11All right,
01:00:12let's do it.
01:00:13Okay,
01:00:13first one.
01:00:14What have you learnt
01:00:15about yourself
01:00:16from dating your ex?
01:00:18What have I learnt
01:00:19about myself?
01:00:20Yeah.
01:00:20I've learnt that
01:00:21love isn't everything.
01:00:24Passion can be
01:00:25confused with,
01:00:27like,
01:00:29you can get
01:00:29so caught up
01:00:30in it
01:00:30that you lose
01:00:31sight of
01:00:31like what's
01:00:32actually healthy.
01:00:35Okay,
01:00:36can you physically
01:00:36describe your ex
01:00:37to me?
01:00:37Like,
01:00:42six,
01:00:42four,
01:00:43tall,
01:00:45blonde,
01:00:47blue eyes,
01:00:49godlike body.
01:00:54Yeah,
01:00:56I'm being honest.
01:00:58Yeah.
01:01:00What if I said to you
01:01:01that my ex
01:01:02had a godlike body?
01:01:03I wouldn't be surprised.
01:01:05It's a massive compliment
01:01:06to someone
01:01:06who is in your past,
01:01:08so...
01:01:09To say they had
01:01:09a godlike body?
01:01:10Yeah,
01:01:11that's a huge compliment,
01:01:12big statement to make.
01:01:15You know,
01:01:15like,
01:01:16better body than yours
01:01:16or whatever,
01:01:17you know?
01:01:17I didn't say
01:01:18he had a better body
01:01:19than yours.
01:01:19I know,
01:01:20but, like,
01:01:20the way you said it,
01:01:21like,
01:01:21godlike is very,
01:01:22like,
01:01:23elite compliment.
01:01:24I'm just being honest.
01:01:29It lacks class,
01:01:30I think.
01:01:32You know,
01:01:32like,
01:01:32you're sitting with someone
01:01:33here you're trying
01:01:33to build a connection with
01:01:34and you're blowing up
01:01:34this six foot four,
01:01:35you know,
01:01:36like,
01:01:36the godlike body.
01:01:37That was a dumb answer.
01:01:39It was a dumb answer.
01:01:41I'm not blonde,
01:01:42I'm not six foot four.
01:01:44I mean,
01:01:44like,
01:01:44what chance does any guy
01:01:45have against this ideal
01:01:46picture in someone's head?
01:01:49So every guy
01:01:49after him
01:01:51probably had,
01:01:51like,
01:01:51an impossible standard
01:01:52to measure up to,
01:01:53hey?
01:01:55Well,
01:01:56he's in a different continent,
01:01:57like...
01:01:58not very reassuring.
01:02:01Well,
01:02:02what do you want me to say?
01:02:04I think she's got
01:02:04some definite growing
01:02:05to do in terms of
01:02:06considering where I'm
01:02:07coming from,
01:02:07considering my feelings.
01:02:11Yeah,
01:02:12all right,
01:02:12next one.
01:02:15If your ex
01:02:16proposed while you
01:02:17were together,
01:02:17would you have said yes?
01:02:19Yes.
01:02:23That's big.
01:02:25That's big.
01:02:26Maybe we should fly over there
01:02:27and catch up with him.
01:02:31No one likes to be
01:02:32in this situation
01:02:33with the ring on
01:02:33and here you're attracted
01:02:34to your ex still
01:02:35and you would have married him.
01:02:36Like,
01:02:36you're married to me.
01:02:38Six months
01:02:39with this guy
01:02:40and you,
01:02:40if he proposed
01:02:41after six months
01:02:42you would have said yes.
01:02:43Today I wanted to
01:02:46piss Ryan off
01:02:46a little bit.
01:02:48I really wanted
01:02:49to get under his skin.
01:02:51Be like,
01:02:52this is what I got.
01:02:53Can you match up?
01:02:54No,
01:02:55you can't.
01:03:00Next time.
01:03:01I'm not vibing,
01:03:02Jackie.
01:03:03Maybe the crazy eyes.
01:03:05The most shocking
01:03:06photo ranking.
01:03:08Her face screamed like
01:03:09I could, like,
01:03:09stab you in your sleep.
01:03:11In this year's experiment.
01:03:13That was appalling.
01:03:14How dare you
01:03:15say these unhinged things
01:03:16about these gorgeous women.
01:03:19As Confessions Week continues.
01:03:22I really like it.
01:03:23You know,
01:03:23she makes me laugh.
01:03:24Deeper connections
01:03:25are formed.
01:03:26He's open and vulnerable
01:03:27and letting his walls down.
01:03:30You didn't write
01:03:31a letter at all?
01:03:32No.
01:03:33Tensions boil over.
01:03:35You bought it with work.
01:03:36That's it.
01:03:37There's nothing else to it.
01:03:37Don't end off me.
01:03:38Don't end off me.
01:03:39There's nothing else to it.
01:03:39Don't end off me.
01:03:40Why is Adrian refusing
01:03:42to complete a specific task?
01:03:45What have I said?
01:03:45I've seen your application.
01:03:49Um.
01:03:50I do get this feeling
01:03:52that Adrian's keeping
01:03:52something from me.
01:03:53I do get this feeling
