00:00:00Previously, a dating experience unlike any other began.
00:00:06This is probably the wildest, craziest thing I've ever done.
00:00:09And six Aussie singles put their faith in our matchmakers
00:00:13and married a stranger.
00:00:16I'm pronounced you husband and wife.
00:00:19I was kind of breathless for a little hot moment there, hey.
00:00:22Before leaving the world behind for 21 days.
00:00:26What we're doing is completely scary.
00:00:28But as soon as I turned around and saw her,
00:00:32I knew everything was going to be all right.
00:00:34To see if love can bloom in paradise.
00:00:37Oh, my goodness! Look at that!
00:00:40Or if their bad dating baggage will drag them out to sea.
00:00:44I'm starting to feel quite overwhelmed.
00:00:46I want to swim away.
00:00:47Three new relationships set sail.
00:00:50But Amy and Mike hit the rocks.
00:00:53I feel like there's a bit of a power struggle going on.
00:00:55No, I'm good.
00:00:56You know, I'm the man. Just chill out.
00:00:58I got this.
00:00:58I just wanted it to be Honeymoon Island.
00:01:01And I think it might be Nightmare Island.
00:01:04And a surprise crate...
00:01:06Oh!
00:01:07...delivered drama.
00:01:09Hello.
00:01:10There's my ex.
00:01:11I guess a bit of feedback.
00:01:14You know, you made me feel quite small.
00:01:17Coming up now, six new singles fed up with the toxic world of modern dating.
00:01:26I've been single for seven years.
00:01:28This is the last resort.
00:01:30Join the adventure.
00:01:32I'm ready to give this my entire all.
00:01:34I feel like this is a massive leap of faith.
00:01:36And get stranded on Honeymoon Island.
00:01:38I think it's inevitable that it's going to be a wild ride.
00:01:41For better...
00:01:42This could be something special here.
00:01:44Or for worse...
00:01:45This was the real world.
00:01:46I usually cut things off.
00:01:48Maybe even ghosts.
00:01:49Thousands of miles from home.
00:02:06Three newlywed couples are stranded on Honeymoon Island.
00:02:09And they'll have 21 days to see if a long-lasting relationship can form
00:02:16without any distractions from the modern dating world.
00:02:21The cocoa roll.
00:02:24Do you want it harder?
00:02:25That's enough.
00:02:26That's enough.
00:02:28Shut your eyes.
00:02:35Mmm.
00:02:37So good.
00:02:39For Flight Attendant Georgia and Bachelor Chad,
00:02:43the wedding day was a fairy tale come true.
00:02:49I have been engaged before.
00:02:51And I got my heart broken.
00:02:54But I still do believe that there are good men out there.
00:02:59Hello.
00:03:01How are you?
00:03:03Good, how are you?
00:03:04Good, good.
00:03:05You look beautiful.
00:03:07Amazing.
00:03:07Happy?
00:03:13Yes.
00:03:13Good, good.
00:03:15And on their second day of married life,
00:03:18these two lovebirds are in no rush to take their relationship to the next level.
00:03:25You're going to put some sunscreen on me now?
00:03:27Yeah.
00:03:27No, we haven't had a little kiss yet.
00:03:32We're both just happy to, like, take it slow, even though we are married.
00:03:38So do you like a lot of it?
00:03:40Lather it up for you.
00:03:42I feel that we have an amazing foundation where we are building chemistry and connection from.
00:03:48So I'm happy to wait for a kiss.
00:03:51Damn.
00:03:52Do you ever own a waterfront property?
00:04:01No.
00:04:02You have now?
00:04:02Yes.
00:04:04You have now?
00:04:04This is our first property together.
00:04:06Why not?
00:04:07We're homeowners.
00:04:07We are.
00:04:08For commitment-fought Brie, getting married and stranded with laid-back Sparky Byron was a huge adjustment.
00:04:17Remember, this is a common saying.
00:04:19If you're looking, it ain't cooking.
00:04:22Wow, look where we are.
00:04:24I know.
00:04:25I'm starting to feel quite overwhelmed.
00:04:27I've never really been in a serious relationship before, so it's been a huge step, and that fear of commitment is definitely, like, kicking in.
00:04:36Wifey?
00:04:37Mm-hmm?
00:04:38I might need your hand.
00:04:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:40I don't know what's happened to Brie.
00:04:42I wonder if it's me.
00:04:44I think I'm just overwhelmed still, because this is wild and crazy, and I met you yesterday, and that kind of is a lot for me.
00:04:52I really just don't want to f*** it all up by being an idiot.
00:04:56I'm with, like, the perfect guy.
00:05:00But as their second day stranded together comes to an end, Brie is starting to realise that this experience is exactly what she needs.
00:05:10Nailed it.
00:05:11Fish is on.
00:05:12Shut up.
00:05:13Potatoes.
00:05:14Should we wash that?
00:05:15I'm going to give it a quick wash, and I'll wash this.
00:05:17I was going to go to the ocean.
00:05:18Yeah, nice.
00:05:18Okay.
00:05:19Byron is such a nice guy.
00:05:21He's very sweet, very considerate, always asking if I'm okay.
00:05:25He's jumping it, helping me, and trying to make me as comfortable as possible.
00:05:31What are we going to do for breakfast?
00:05:33Um, I can make pancakes if you want.
00:05:37With potatoes?
00:05:40Coconut pancakes?
00:05:41Yeah.
00:05:42I'll figure it out.
00:05:43He, like, I'm not used to nice guys and being treated nicely.
00:05:50The guys in my past don't do that, and there's always been a lack of commitment from both parties.
00:05:55Oh, my God.
00:05:57Oh, my God.
00:05:58Get out.
00:05:59Get out.
00:06:00That looks amazing.
00:06:01Doesn't that look good?
00:06:02I'm impressed.
00:06:04Byron is definitely a catch.
00:06:06Yeah, this is probably, like, the best thing that could have happened to me, and I'm, I'm, these are, these are happy tears.
00:06:12I'm really excited about the time we're going to have.
00:06:14Definitely, I feel like, I'm, like, the luckiest girl ever right now.
00:06:24I got lucky.
00:06:25I got lucky.
00:06:27For Amy and Mike, 48 hours stranded together has quickly become the clash of the titans.
00:06:46And earlier today, a message from home brought things to a head.
00:06:51There's been a lot of things that you've done that have made me uncomfortable.
00:07:01Belittled the alpha male, the dominant.
00:07:04I've felt, like, an underlying misogyny from you.
00:07:08And what?
00:07:10When we're cutting the wedding dress.
00:07:12Less is more, like, I'm not a piece of meat.
00:07:15I've never heard that from anyone before.
00:07:18Well, you're hearing it from me now.
00:07:20Yeah.
00:07:21All right.
00:07:21I've never been called a misogynist in my life.
00:07:27That's, was a first.
00:07:30I'm all good to take accountability for stuff I've done.
00:07:33If it's made her feel bad, no problem.
00:07:36But I'm not a bad dude.
00:07:38I'm just trying to be chivalrous.
00:07:40Try and look after your guilt.
00:07:42That's what a man should do.
00:07:44I guess I have a big personality, big sense of humour, and I don't mean anything from a bad place.
00:07:49He's got a big personality too, and I think it's just trying to navigate that at the moment, which is very, very difficult.
00:07:56I know we're going to need to talk about a lot of stuff that happened today.
00:08:00Yeah.
00:08:01Some of that shit hurt my feelings, and I felt real attacked.
00:08:05Misogyny is a big word to use.
00:08:09Okay.
00:08:10Well, I mean, that's what I've seen, and that's my truth, and that's what, yeah, that's the feeling I've been getting.
00:08:18That's the vibe, and so I'm just letting you know that that's how I feel.
00:08:21Some of the points you said were just.
00:08:23It could have been dealt with in a different way, but it really upset me.
00:08:28Basically calling me a woman hater, and I'm like, whoa.
00:08:33No, that's, oh.
00:08:35That one hurt the most.
00:08:37Look, I am sorry to bombard you.
00:08:39I get that that was a lot.
00:08:40I don't think I have to tap out for today.
00:08:45No, I, no, it's been a, it's been a big day.
00:08:48Can I get you anything to eat?
00:08:50No, I'm good.
00:08:50Can I do anything to help you?
00:08:52No, I'm fine.
00:08:52I'm going to get some water and just get back to zen.
00:08:57Yeah.
00:08:59All right.
00:09:05Look, today's been a pretty hard day.
00:09:08I don't want this.
00:09:09Shit.
00:09:10We're here and, buddy, we're here on an island.
00:09:14To find love.
00:09:15And now I don't know where I'm at.
00:09:19The best thing we can do is just call off and have some space.
00:09:28Now, it's time for three brand new couples to make the ultimate leap of faith.
00:09:35So, let's go back to where it all began.
00:09:38A speed dating event with a twist.
00:09:46Let's get the show on the road.
00:09:48Our six new castaways each took part in a two-minute speed date observed by matchmakers.
00:09:54Do you put your fries on the cheeseburger or you just go straight for the cheeseburger?
00:09:58No names or jobs were shared and they were matched on their chemistry, compatibility and their ability to grow together.
00:10:08And one of our new brides can't wait to get to the island and heat things up.
00:10:19Number seven.
00:10:20Oh, ask me.
00:10:20Can I just wear your jacket for two minutes?
00:10:22Because I'm freezing.
00:10:22Yeah, absolutely.
00:10:23Ask me a question while you do that.
00:10:24I'm freezing.
00:10:25Yeah?
00:10:25All right.
00:10:26The question will be.
00:10:27Yep.
00:10:28Tell me.
00:10:29How cold are you on a scale of one to ten?
00:10:39I hate the cold.
00:10:40I'm a summer cold.
00:10:41Turn around.
00:10:42At the moment, my dating world is cobwebs.
00:10:46I can't say that.
00:10:48It's pretty dusty.
00:10:52If you try to kiss me, watch out quickly, I fall for you.
00:10:56I fall for you.
00:10:57I'm Jess.
00:10:58I'm 38 and I'm a writer and dating and relationship coach.
00:11:02If you are somebody that tends to worry about having sex with somebody too soon when you start dating, then this tip is for you.
00:11:11Nighttime activities lead to nighttime activities.
00:11:15It's as simple as that.
00:11:17If you don't want to have sex, go to brunch.
00:11:20I fall for you.
00:11:23I fall for you.
00:11:25The irony is I'm a dating and relationship coach, but I haven't been in a relationship for many years.
00:11:30Sometimes I forget to follow my own advice.
00:11:35I chase chemistry.
00:11:37Chemistry feels amazing.
00:11:41And it's exciting.
00:11:43There's a thrill that comes from chasing chemistry, like fireworks.
00:11:48But it doesn't always pan out well.
00:11:54It does fade.
00:11:56Men lose interest, then back away, and it's devastating for me.
00:12:03I'm 38 and I've been putting my heart on the line.
00:12:10So I'm starting to think, when is it going to be my turn?
00:12:15Hello.
00:12:16Hi.
00:12:17I was born in Austria, so I was raised overseas.
00:12:20Austria?
00:12:21Yeah.
00:12:22So I speak fluent German.
00:12:23And I've traveled all over the world.
00:12:24I love German.
00:12:25Well, I hope we'll be able to teach you a little more than just that.
00:12:27I like that.
00:12:28I like that very much.
00:12:30On the island, we'll have no choice but to keep persisting on the relationship beyond chemistry.
00:12:37You're gorgeous.
00:12:39How are you?
00:12:40Nice to meet you, 13.
00:12:41Nice to meet you, 9.
00:12:42My days are good.
00:12:44Are you an extrovert or introvert?
00:12:46I'm just going to guess.
00:12:47You're confident and caring.
00:12:48How are you caring?
00:12:49Tell me.
00:12:50Give me examples.
00:12:51Active listening.
00:12:52Empathetic.
00:12:53I want to be your best friend and your lover.
00:12:56Okay.
00:12:57We've got 14.
00:12:59Big yes.
00:13:00So yeah, huge **** yes.
00:13:02He speaks German and he's my physical type.
00:13:069 is a bit naughty.
00:13:09He's gorgeous.
00:13:10A lot of confidence.
00:13:11A lot of charm.
00:13:12He said some of the right things.
00:13:14So I'm going to say ding, dong, dang.
00:13:16You found me five husbands.
00:13:19You checking me out?
00:13:22I have a little 12.
00:13:23Of course.
00:13:24Beautiful.
00:13:25I've got some cheap.
00:13:26I reckon I've got some good chat.
00:13:28And I reckon I make people feel very comfortable.
00:13:30Can I give you a handshake and a kiss?
00:13:31A week, yeah.
00:13:32Lovely.
00:13:33You look really nice, by the way.
00:13:35Who are you?
00:13:36Why didn't I start with you?
00:13:37If all else fails, hopefully I've got a half-decent body.
00:13:43Hey!
00:13:44God damn, I know you love to make an entrance.
00:13:46Do you like getting paid or getting paid attention?
00:13:48Like, whoa.
00:13:49You mix the wrong guys with the right intentions.
00:13:51Feels with me.
00:13:53And again.
00:13:54Oh!
00:13:55Good.
00:13:56Jump.
00:13:57I had some real heartbreak at the start of this year.
00:14:00Two pretty traumatic events in almost the space of four to eight weeks.
00:14:05My last relationship ended and it was devastating.
00:14:08We both had very different lifestyles.
00:14:09You know, I probably going out partying a little too much.
00:14:14That ended very close to around the time that my dad passed away.
00:14:19The thought of, like, losing another person in my life was very overwhelming.
00:14:26My mum was caring for my dad up until the day he passed away.
00:14:31They were married over 25 years and till his last breath my mum was with my dad.
00:14:43Imagine finding someone.
00:14:44I can hold your hands right up until the moment you take your last breath.
00:14:49I'm dying.
00:14:50What else do you want?
00:14:52Today's the day that Sam will find out if the matchmakers have chosen someone he can
00:15:06create a meaningful bond with that will hopefully last a lifetime.
00:15:10I think the person that's about to meet me is going to fully meet the best version of myself.
00:15:20For a bit over three months now, I've been on a detox, no alcohol, no partying, no sex.
00:15:27I want to be as clear a mind as possible to meet the right person for me.
00:15:35Being stranded on Honeymoon Island, this really gives me the opportunity to dig deep
00:15:40with someone.
00:15:41No external factors, no technology, no social media, no friends, no opinions.
00:15:46Just me and one other person.
00:16:01Hi.
00:16:03You look beautiful.
00:16:04You look gorgeous too.
00:16:09Welcome to our wedding.
00:16:11Hi babe.
00:16:12Hi.
00:16:13Nice to see you.
00:16:14Nice to see you too.
00:16:15You alright?
00:16:16Can I give you a hug?
00:16:17You okay?
00:16:18Yeah.
00:16:19You got this together.
00:16:20Okay.
00:16:21Alright?
00:16:22I remembered him straight away.
00:16:23There was chemistry.
00:16:24I did feel it.
00:16:25You feel calm?
00:16:26Yeah, I feel super comfortable with you.
00:16:27Yeah.
00:16:28All the nerves.
00:16:29I feel much calmer now after I've met him.
00:16:30And it was super comfortable straight away.
00:16:31So it's all tick, tick, tick.
00:16:32You look amazing.
00:16:34I'm really excited.
00:16:35I'm Sam.
00:16:36I'm Sam.
00:16:37Jess.
00:16:38Nice to meet you, Sam.
00:16:39Lovely to meet you, Jess.
00:16:40I feel better now seeing you.
00:16:41I was definitely nervous but she made me feel super calm.
00:16:42Yeah, I'm very much attracted to her.
00:16:43She's a beautiful lady.
00:16:44Yeah, let's get married.
00:16:45Hi.
00:16:46Hello.
00:16:47Ready to get married?
00:16:48I think so.
00:16:49I certainly am.
00:16:50Yeah.
00:16:51Yeah.
00:16:52I'm really excited.
00:16:53I'm really excited.
00:16:54I'm really excited.
00:16:55I'm Sam.
00:16:56Jess.
00:16:57Nice to meet you, Sam.
00:16:58Lovely to meet you, Jess.
00:16:59I feel better now seeing you.
00:17:00I was definitely nervous but she made me feel super calm.
00:17:02Yeah, I'm very much attracted to her.
00:17:03She's a beautiful lady.
00:17:04Yeah, let's get married.
00:17:06Hi.
00:17:07Hello.
00:17:08Ready to get married?
00:17:09I think so.
00:17:10Let's do it.
00:17:11You do?
00:17:12I certainly am.
00:17:13Yep.
00:17:14Jess and Sam, I invite you both to share vows with one another with an open heart and
00:17:23an open mind.
00:17:25Jess, I have yours.
00:17:27I have mine.
00:17:28Okay.
00:17:29Give it to me.
00:17:30Don't make me cry.
00:17:31Okay.
00:17:32It's quite comfortable for me to be single because my past relationships whilst loving
00:17:39have not worked in my favour.
00:17:41I've completely surrendered to the chemistry and I've experienced heartbreak.
00:17:47But I still believe in love and that hope remains firmly intact.
00:17:54To me, a successful relationship and a marriage is fundamentally reliant on great communication
00:18:00and compatibility.
00:18:03I'm committed to understanding you, opening my heart to the possibility of love and to
00:18:08embracing this experience with you regardless of the many unknowns that lie before us.
00:18:13Jess, thank you.
00:18:14Jess, thank you.
00:18:15That was beautiful.
00:18:16You hear that was written from the heart.
00:18:18Thanks.
00:18:19Definitely.
00:18:20You don't know.
00:18:21Not chat GPT.
00:18:22No!
00:18:23It didn't just make it up.
00:18:25Well done.
00:18:26Thanks, Jess.
00:18:27Alright.
00:18:30Jess.
00:18:31My parents taught me so much, not just about love, but also how to make a relationship
00:18:36work.
00:18:37They taught me to communicate always.
00:18:39For a bit over the last three and a half months, my focus has been my fitness, my mental
00:18:44health and the relationships I have with the people close to me.
00:18:48Through this period, I haven't had any alcohol or intimate relationships.
00:18:52I work out up to twice a day.
00:18:54I meditate, a journal and I build healthy relationships with those around me.
00:18:59You can take my hand on this journey and trust that you are with someone who has clarity.
00:19:05I will be the person not only that you want, but the person that you need.
00:19:10I promise to be the best version of myself for you, to be your support, your partner and
00:19:15your island entertainment.
00:19:17Amazing.
00:19:20I love those.
00:19:22I'm glad.
00:19:29There certainly is a little bit of chemistry, especially now that I can see that he has
00:19:36a lot of depth, which I definitely need.
00:19:38So we've been well matched.
00:19:39I do.
00:19:40Thank goodness.
00:19:41Absolutely.
00:19:42I'm actually looking forward to spending three weeks on a deserted island with Sam.
00:19:48I do.
00:19:49Yes.
00:19:50I'm ready to give it a go.
00:19:51Let's go.
00:19:53I'm overjoyed to pronounce you husband and wife.
00:19:56Yay!
00:19:57You may seal the deal with a kiss.
00:19:58I'll be up.
00:19:59I'm married.
00:20:00Jess and Sam are now on their way to Honeymoon Island.
00:20:19There's obvious chemistry, but will it last for 21 days?
00:20:26Is that it?
00:20:27Is that it?
00:20:28Oh my God.
00:20:29What is it?
00:20:32What happens when you're stranded on a deserted island with no phones, no luxuries and completely
00:20:38cut off from the outside world?
00:20:42Will a deeper connection form or will that chemistry burn out?
00:20:48Let's go baby.
00:20:50Woo!
00:20:51Oh my God.
00:20:52This is the wildest thing I've ever done in my life.
00:20:58But it's an experience that is once in a lifetime.
00:21:04Woo!
00:21:06Finding chemistry is easy, but falling in love is hard.
00:21:10I want a deeper connection.
00:21:11I want to find love and I'm ready to go.
00:21:15I'm ready to go.
00:21:26Thousands of miles away from home.
00:21:30God.
00:21:31Oh my God.
00:21:32Two brave souls just took an epic leap of faith into a romantic adventure unlike any other.
00:21:43Straight off.
00:21:44Yeah.
00:21:45Let's go.
00:21:46Alright.
00:21:47Jess and Sam are now stranded on Honeymoon Island.
00:21:52And this remote beach will be their home for the next 21 days.
00:21:57What is this?
00:21:58Oh my God.
00:21:59Are we okay?
00:22:00Oh.
00:22:01Oh.
00:22:02Oh.
00:22:03Where they'll discover if living in total isolation with only each other for company will strengthen
00:22:09their initial bond.
00:22:12How wet did what?
00:22:14Oh my God.
00:22:15There's a shower.
00:22:16This is gorgeous.
00:22:17Oh.
00:22:18How about the view?
00:22:19I know.
00:22:20Not bad, hey?
00:22:21We have our own private beach right on our doorstep.
00:22:28Maybe 25 steps into crystal clear water.
00:22:33Welcome home.
00:22:34What should we call it?
00:22:35Oh.
00:22:36Our fresco paradiso?
00:22:37Yeah.
00:22:38I'm most looking forward to spending the time with Sam in like a bit of a romantic cute
00:22:43setting.
00:22:44I'm happy with Sam.
00:22:45Like I'm happy that we'll match together.
00:22:48Cheers to...
00:22:49Woo!
00:22:52That's perfect.
00:22:54I feel like there's a bit of chemistry, there's a bit of a spark.
00:22:57Congratulations.
00:22:59Let's make this work.
00:23:00It's nice to meet you.
00:23:02Lovely to meet you too.
00:23:03She's a beautiful woman and I'm really lucky.
00:23:06Like, this could be something special here.
00:23:10I think we're gonna need to come up with a bit of a game plan.
00:23:12Yeah.
00:23:13I need to rinse these clothes.
00:23:14If we're gonna have to make them work and last, you want this shirt, don't you?
00:23:18Yep.
00:23:19Alright, let's go rinse everything off.
00:23:21Let's just take a bit of a lead on this.
00:23:24Being here with just the clothes on my back and nothing else is a little bit nuts.
00:23:32Yeah, perfect.
00:23:33But, I'm feeling pretty confident and comfortable with Sam.
00:23:38He seems quite caring and considerate and thoughtful.
00:23:43You've got something to wear.
00:23:45And when Sam rinsed his shirt off, popped me in the shower, made sure I was comfortable and checked to see if I needed anything else, it was really lovely.
00:23:55Alright, I'm gonna give you some privacy.
00:23:58I haven't had many men in my life that have really done that for me and have really been so gentle with me.
00:24:05Hi.
00:24:06Honey, I'm home.
00:24:07Hello.
00:24:09And I think it's those little things in relationships and when you're building connections that are the most special and the most important.
00:24:18And they show you a lot about a person's character.
00:24:21Okay.
00:24:23Cool.
00:24:24Alright.
00:24:25Yeah, I'm good.
00:24:26It's a really nice start.
00:24:27It makes me feel reassured.
00:24:41Back in civilisation, another bride is preparing to leave behind the comforts and distractions of home.
00:24:50To marry a stranger and get herself stranded in the name of love.
00:24:56Beautiful people.
00:24:59Okay, what is everyone getting?
00:25:00Cocktails.
00:25:01We're doing cocktails.
00:25:02I'm Emily.
00:25:04I'm 28 and I'm from Melbourne.
00:25:08I grew up down the surf coast, but yeah, I'm a city girl through and through now.
00:25:13See you at the bottom.
00:25:16People take one look at me and they're like, she's confident.
00:25:18She's out there.
00:25:20But deep down, not the case at all.
00:25:23I am not as confident as I come across.
00:25:31I've been single for seven years.
00:25:33I have tried the apps.
00:25:34I have tried being set up by friends.
00:25:36I got set up by my parents at one stage.
00:25:38I have tried speed dating.
00:25:42Nothing has worked for me.
00:25:45I'm constantly finding with these guys is the initial attraction is there.
00:25:48And then over time it just, it fizzles.
00:25:54And I'm constantly getting ghosted.
00:25:56You look at the common denominator and it's me.
00:26:02I just question, is there something I'm doing wrong?
00:26:07Do I not look the right way?
00:26:09So I try and change how I look.
00:26:13I haven't always been blonde.
00:26:14I was brunette at one stage.
00:26:16So I kind of think, you know, maybe if I do go blonde, it'll, it'll help.
00:26:21I think I'll part my hair differently.
00:26:23See if that helps.
00:26:24I'll lose weight.
00:26:25I'll wear different clothes.
00:26:27No matter what I try and do, I always end up single and alone.
00:26:39Yeah.
00:26:48When I get ghosted, it's a really, it's a horrible feeling.
00:26:52So I'm so excited for this because we are forced to be together.
00:26:57You can't run away.
00:26:59I want him to get to know me and get to know who I am as a person.
00:27:04Hello.
00:27:05Nice to meet you.
00:27:06I'm a hugger as well.
00:27:07Oh good.
00:27:08Nice to meet you.
00:27:09Lovely to meet you.
00:27:10How are you?
00:27:11I'm speaking an accent.
00:27:12Irish.
00:27:13You know what?
00:27:14My mom's always said she want to marry an Irishman.
00:27:15Really?
00:27:16Oh my God.
00:27:17I'm keen.
00:27:18This is perfect.
00:27:19Reviving.
00:27:20Reviving.
00:27:21We're aligned.
00:27:22We just got to get married first.
00:27:23Yeah.
00:27:24For me, number two was a big front runner.
00:27:25He's Irish and I love an accent.
00:27:26Yes, yes, yes.
00:27:27Irish and I love.
00:27:29What I'm looking for is just someone who is tall, you know, dark hair, dark features
00:27:35and really down to earth and a real genuine guy who actually wants this as much as I do.
00:27:41Hello.
00:27:42Hi.
00:27:43Oh, matching number five.
00:27:44Nice to meet you.
00:27:45I'm a hugger.
00:27:46I'm sorry.
00:27:47Nice to meet you.
00:27:48Lovely to meet you too.
00:27:49Alright, I'm going to start off with a big one.
00:27:50Yeah, give it to me.
00:27:51Perfect day.
00:27:52From the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed.
00:27:54Perfect day.
00:27:55Perfect day.
00:27:56Perfect day.
00:27:57Perfect day.
00:27:58Definitely somewhere near the beach.
00:28:00Stop.
00:28:01Wake up, probably sex in the morning, I reckon.
00:28:03Yeah.
00:28:04Start it off.
00:28:05Then straight into coffee.
00:28:06Love coffee.
00:28:07Yeah.
00:28:08It was in the top for sure.
00:28:09His answer was amazing.
00:28:10I was like, you started off with morning glory and that's a great way to start your day,
00:28:15mate.
00:28:16And he's just beautiful to look at.
00:28:18So I wouldn't mind looking at that every day.
00:28:25I'm Tom.
00:28:26I'm 29 and I work as a business analyst.
00:28:29I like your, I like your matching like suit.
00:28:33It's cute.
00:28:34So Tom, how much attention do you get from the opposite sex?
00:28:38How do I answer this without sounding like a douchebag?
00:28:40You're a bit cute.
00:28:41You've got someone else's makeup.
00:28:42I'll just help you though.
00:28:43Oh, great.
00:28:45It's so fine.
00:28:46Was that yours?
00:28:47No.
00:28:48I'd say I haven't really struggled when it comes to meeting women.
00:28:51Hobbies.
00:28:52I like guitar.
00:28:53That's high.
00:28:54But I haven't really been able to find a meaningful connection with anyone.
00:29:01And why are you still single?
00:29:02What would your ex-girlfriend say?
00:29:04She'd say because she didn't want to be with me.
00:29:06Why?
00:29:10Come on.
00:29:11It's hard for me to kind of let people in and let my guard down.
00:29:15I think potentially because of my previous relationship.
00:29:18I was dating someone for quite a few years and thought that that would be the person that
00:29:24I'd spend the rest of my life with.
00:29:26But it didn't end up that way.
00:29:28And I found out later on that she was seeing her ex-boyfriend.
00:29:32So that was a big hit to the gut.
00:29:36I mean, yeah, the only way to describe that moment when we broke up is just, yeah, heartbroken.
00:29:43I think I've processed the end of that relationship, but there's still wounds there that I haven't quite recovered from.
00:29:56In relationships, it's hard for me to let my guard down.
00:29:59I can be a closed book.
00:30:01It's, yeah, it's hard for me to open up.
00:30:04Being on an island, I'll be forced to be vulnerable and open myself up to someone.
00:30:14I'm looking for a partner who is bubbly and has a good sense of humour.
00:30:19Patient.
00:30:20And, yeah, someone who can break down my walls.
00:30:26I think after seven years, you kind of doubt yourself that you'll ever get to this point.
00:30:30So, the fact that I am here feels incredible.
00:30:35Oh, wow.
00:30:39I love this.
00:30:43This is beautiful.
00:30:45I feel like a princess.
00:30:47Just how I wanted to feel on my wedding day.
00:30:52I think it's the first time I've ever looked at myself and thought,
00:30:55far out, I'm gorgeous.
00:30:56Like, any man would be happy to have this.
00:31:00And lucky to have this.
00:31:02So, I'm obsessed.
00:31:06I'm not the most confident person.
00:31:08So, to be sitting here loving myself, I'm like, finally.
00:31:12I hope my husband loves me just as much as I do right now.
00:31:15What I'm looking for is just someone who can just love every little weird bit about me,
00:31:25and every little curve that I might have, and every weird snort that I do when I laugh.
00:31:29I think I'm most nervous about my partner not liking me.
00:31:44Is he going to be disappointed when he sees me down the aisle?
00:31:47I would be devastated if this was another big projection for me.
00:31:52I would be devastated if this was another big projection for me.
00:32:15I would be devastated if this was another big projection for me.
00:32:22And if this isn't to work out, I don't want to have my heart broken.
00:32:28Because I'm ready to give this my entire all, and I hope he is too.
00:32:44Hello.
00:32:45Hello.
00:32:47How are you doing?
00:32:48How are you doing?
00:32:49Good to see you.
00:32:51Are you as nervous as I am?
00:32:52Terrified.
00:32:54Okay, good.
00:32:56What's your name?
00:32:57Emily.
00:32:58Tom.
00:32:59Nice to meet you.
00:33:00Nice to meet you. You look amazing.
00:33:01You look very handsome yourself.
00:33:03Thank you. Thank you very much.
00:33:06He's beautiful.
00:33:09He was 100% the guy I wanted to see at the end of the altar.
00:33:12He's got the most beautiful eyes.
00:33:14I have a big thing for blue eyes.
00:33:15So, yeah, he's gorgeous.
00:33:18Are you ready to do this?
00:33:19I think so.
00:33:20Are you?
00:33:21Yep.
00:33:22No, we got this.
00:33:23We got this together.
00:33:24I am definitely attracted to him.
00:33:26And I hope he's feeling the same.
00:33:31Hello.
00:33:33Ready to get married?
00:33:34Yep.
00:33:35Yeah.
00:33:36Let's do it.
00:33:38Today you will not only exchange rings and vows, but I also promise to embark on this journey
00:33:45with an open heart and an open mind.
00:33:49I invite you both to share your vows with one another.
00:33:53Tom, your vows.
00:33:54Stranger.
00:33:59When I signed up for this experience, I had no idea I'd be standing here with you today,
00:34:05about to marry a 10 out of 10 drop-dead gorgeous stunner.
00:34:09I promise to be your co-captain in this castaway cosplay.
00:34:13Even if you haven't showered for days, I will share a bed with you and always keep the fire going.
00:34:19So let's embrace the insanity and turn this unlikely love story into something to remember.
00:34:24So beautiful.
00:34:26You did well.
00:34:28Emily, I have your vows here.
00:34:30Amazing.
00:34:34To my new husband.
00:34:37The journey of love for me has been far from easy.
00:34:40And after countless failed attempts at finding love,
00:34:43I've at times lost hope in finding the man of my dreams.
00:34:48For years, I've lost confidence in myself.
00:34:51I've tried my hardest at being the perfect partner,
00:34:53moulded myself into the girl I think people want,
00:34:56just to please someone else.
00:34:58But today marks a new chapter in not only my life, but our lives together.
00:35:03So, I promise to always be my true authentic self, as I hope you do in return.
00:35:09And most importantly, I promise to give you and this experience my all.
00:35:13It's my all.
00:35:19Now we get to do the exchanging of rings.
00:35:25What are you thinking of Anne?
00:35:26What are you thinking of Anne?
00:35:27A lot of emotions, I guess.
00:35:29Um, yeah.
00:35:31So, yeah, I think, um, for me, there has to be a spark from the very start.
00:35:40I do.
00:35:42If I'm truly honest with myself, I don't feel the spark.
00:35:47I do.
00:35:50I would say Emily is not my usual type.
00:35:53It brings me great honour to declare you two husband and wife.
00:35:58You may seal the deal with a kiss.
00:36:12There's nothing, nothing there.
00:36:15Amazing.
00:36:17Kiss was very good.
00:36:18Tom went in for the full French kiss.
00:36:20Let's go.
00:36:22I wasn't going to argue it.
00:36:23I was like, I'm here for it.
00:36:24My husband's hot.
00:36:25It's going to happen.
00:36:31I'll let you jump on first.
00:36:33He is honestly hot out of ten.
00:36:36I have 100% won the lottery with Tom.
00:36:39Here you go.
00:36:41That was like, dream guy, dream wedding.
00:36:44I loved it.
00:36:46Let's go live on an island now.
00:36:47Tom might not be feeling the spark, but there's no turning back now.
00:36:58Okay, I'm kind of freaking out now.
00:37:00Cut.
00:37:02When I'm dating and when I meet someone.
00:37:07What a great start.
00:37:09If I don't feel like there's that spark or something doesn't click or feel right,
00:37:14it usually takes me a long time to open up to someone.
00:37:16But I'm about to be stranded on an island with this girl.
00:37:33So to give this relationship the best chance of succeeding, I know that I'm going to have to be open and vulnerable and try to make a change from my old ways.
00:37:44Sweet.
00:37:46Check out this hut.
00:37:48I really want to throw myself into this and be fully committed to this.
00:37:51But I'm packing it right now for sure.
00:38:08After walking down the aisle just hours ago, relationship coach Jess and personal trainer Sam are getting better acquainted in their new island home.
00:38:18What do you do for work?
00:38:21Try to keep it in.
00:38:24I'm a writer and a dating and relationship coach.
00:38:28You are not.
00:38:32You are not.
00:38:34Are you going to give us advice?
00:38:35Are you going to be our therapist?
00:38:37No, not for us.
00:38:39Being stranded on this island for three weeks I think is going to be hugely valuable.
00:38:43I think we're going to learn a lot about each other and ourselves.
00:38:46Yeah, I'll be vulnerable and say I feel a bit of a connection.
00:38:49So, yeah.
00:38:50Me too.
00:38:51I'm happy.
00:38:52Me too.
00:38:57While Jess and Sam get settled into island life.
00:39:05One more brand new couple are about to take the plunge and marry someone they've only met once before.
00:39:12I mean it's a strange feeling, you know, I'm kind of just in this whole limbo world.
00:39:25I don't know who I'm marrying today, but as crazy as it sounds, I am trusting the process.
00:39:30My name is Emmanuel. I'm 34 years old. I'm a musician and a music producer.
00:39:39And I live on the Gold Coast.
00:39:41I play in a band which plays alternative rock and roll.
00:39:44I've worked with Matt Corby, The Kid Laroid, Jessica Mowboy.
00:39:49My goal is to be as big as Pharrell Williams.
00:39:55We are the riot.
00:39:56I am so ambitious and really want to chase my dream.
00:40:03But my music career has just consumed my life and hasn't allowed me to really have a relationship.
00:40:09Since I've gotten older, I've realized we all care about things that don't really matter.
00:40:15I've just allowed myself to fall into this trap of work, work, work.
00:40:22I want to get stranded because I need work to disappear so I can really focus on a relationship.
00:40:28I've neglected really finding my life partner, which is just as important as my job.
00:40:35Maybe more important, to be honest, because you retire at some stage, don't you?
00:40:40But you don't retire a relationship, that's forever, in my eyes.
00:40:48Hi.
00:40:49How are you?
00:40:50Good, how are you?
00:40:51Very well, how are you?
00:40:52Good, thank you.
00:40:53Lovely to meet you.
00:40:54Do you think you're a catch?
00:40:56I think I'm a catch.
00:40:57I think I'm a catch.
00:40:59I'm caring, I'm forgiving, I'm compassionate.
00:41:02I'm a lover, you know?
00:41:05So what are you hoping to get out of this experience?
00:41:07I mean, yeah, just a life partner.
00:41:10I'm at the place in my life where it's like, I want to have something with someone together.
00:41:16Yeah.
00:41:17My mum was telling me the other day, she's like, aren't you sick of being alone?
00:41:20I said, I know, mum.
00:41:22I'm tired of superficial relationships.
00:41:25I really want something deep and meaningful and, yeah, a life partner.
00:41:31Hello.
00:41:32Oh, hi, how are you going?
00:41:33Nice to meet you.
00:41:34What do you look for in a life partner?
00:41:39Ooh, good question.
00:41:42Emotionally intelligent.
00:41:43They have to, yeah, have to be able to hold a deep conversation, but also not take themselves
00:41:49too seriously.
00:41:50Yeah.
00:41:51Love a bit of banter.
00:41:53Yeah.
00:41:54Gotta be able to hold the bans.
00:41:55I love it.
00:41:56Yeah, gotta have the bans.
00:41:57Gotta have the bans.
00:41:58Oh, 14's really hot.
00:42:02Ooh.
00:42:03And I think that's what is the most important thing.
00:42:05Yeah.
00:42:06Is to establish a best friend within your relationship.
00:42:09I want, like, professional, tall, dark, handsome.
00:42:13Do you hold off on sleeping with somebody until you do that?
00:42:15I mean, yeah.
00:42:16Yeah.
00:42:17It's never.
00:42:18Really?
00:42:19No.
00:42:20Suave, sexy.
00:42:21I'm done.
00:42:22I'm done.
00:42:25I'm Dani.
00:42:26I'm 34 and I'm from Magnetic Island.
00:42:29There was a dating scene.
00:42:30Oh my God.
00:42:31It is dire.
00:42:32Dire.
00:42:33It's just, I mean, I'm talking long sleeve fisherman shirts, like three quarter board
00:42:43shorts, reflective sunnies, like it's mullets with three kids and they can't, you know,
00:42:50pull a sentence together.
00:42:51I can't deal.
00:42:52I think I need a change of pace, just a little empty space to find myself.
00:43:02I moved to Magnetic Island because I was working in Sydney in a corporate job, classic
00:43:07nine to five, slaving away at my desk, living the dream and I was miserable.
00:43:13Cheers.
00:43:14My love.
00:43:15So nice to see you.
00:43:17Magnetic Island was the best move ever because it's just this alternate universe where everything's
00:43:23really slow paced.
00:43:24It's like no bra, no shoes.
00:43:26No one, can I swear?
00:43:27Yeah, go for it.
00:43:28No one gives a shit what you do for a living.
00:43:30And it's very chill.
00:43:34But I'm at a stage now where I'm starting to think about, okay, what does my future look
00:43:39like?
00:43:40Every now and again, I'll like catch myself walking through a shopping center and see a
00:43:44home with like a new baby and think, oh, that'll be me soon.
00:43:49I've done my whole life alone for so long now.
00:43:53And I just want to find someone to settle down with.
00:43:58I don't want to be single forever.
00:44:02I think it's inevitable that it's going to be a wild ride.
00:44:05Three weeks, just the two of us stuck on an island.
00:44:08We've really only got each other.
00:44:10So we're either going to love each other or we're going to hate each other.
00:44:14But I am in my YOLO era.
00:44:17Imagine if I did fall in love.
00:44:19How fun would that be?
00:44:22It could be the beginning of the rest of my life.
00:44:33Love the heights.
00:44:34I'm all for the heights.
00:44:35Hello.
00:44:36Hello.
00:44:37How are you?
00:44:42Here we are.
00:44:43Here we are.
00:44:44Yeah.
00:44:46He's super hot.
00:44:47I'm into it.
00:44:49Yeah, you smell good.
00:44:50Oh, thank you.
00:44:52It's actually such a good result.
00:44:54Yeah, I think it's all going to be okay.
00:44:57I like your suit.
00:44:59I like your outfit.
00:45:03Are we waiting?
00:45:04I don't know what to do.
00:45:07I felt happy to have finally seen her.
00:45:11She looks pretty.
00:45:12She's really stunning.
00:45:13But I can't remember her from speed dating at all.
00:45:17How are you feeling?
00:45:19I'm happy.
00:45:20I'm very happy.
00:45:21Yeah.
00:45:23Okay, good.
00:45:25I do remember a few brunettes, but I'm not sure.
00:45:28Does she have a leg tattoo?
00:45:38Hi.
00:45:40Do you guys know each other's names yet?
00:45:42No.
00:45:44Well, Emmanuel, meet Danielle.
00:45:46Nice to meet you, Danielle.
00:45:47I meet Emmanuel.
00:45:48Nice to meet you.
00:45:51Hang on.
00:45:52I'm trying to remember if I actually did.
00:45:55You've both taken time to write your own vows.
00:45:58Does she work in hospitality?
00:45:59I'm going to invite you now to share those.
00:46:02Or the one in the red dress.
00:46:04I'm going to have to look back on that tape.
00:46:05I can't remember.
00:46:09Okay.
00:46:10Emmanuel.
00:46:12I've been waiting a long time for this.
00:46:13An opportunity to find my person.
00:46:16Sometimes I think I'm crazy.
00:46:18Who travels to a tropical island to marry a stranger?
00:46:20We do.
00:46:21Apparently us.
00:46:24I spent a lot of time persisting in relationships that weren't right for me.
00:46:28And it's only when life throws you obstacles you realise how important it is to have the right person by your side.
00:46:34I'm looking for a true connection.
00:46:37To have a friend and a partner.
00:46:39To be seen and heard and loved with equal weight.
00:46:42What I need from you is the willingness and patience to get to know me.
00:46:48I'm excited to get to know you, to understand you, and to lean into the possibility of what this could be.
00:46:54Thank you for trusting me with your heart.
00:46:57And I can't wait to show you all the layers that are Danny.
00:47:02That's beautiful.
00:47:03I don't remember Danny at all, to be honest.
00:47:07But we're both just really tired of being alone and really want to find someone in the most genuine way possible.
00:47:15So, nerves are gone finally.
00:47:18And I feel very excited.
00:47:23Emmanuel.
00:47:26Deep breath.
00:47:33I stand here today preparing to marry you a complete stranger.
00:47:38I know most people would think it's a crazy way to go about finding love.
00:47:43But this experience doesn't scare me.
00:47:47So with my heart wide open, I say I do.
00:47:52Here's to a time of discovery, happiness, and creating the most beautiful story we can together.
00:48:00And in the end, hopefully there is love.
00:48:03Beautiful.
00:48:05Well written.
00:48:07Danielle and Emmanuel.
00:48:09I now pronounce you to be husband and wife.
00:48:12Congratulations.
00:48:13It's time for the kick.
00:48:14Woohoo!
00:48:16I'm just going to thank you.
00:48:20Woo!
00:48:22Carried!
00:48:24Off to our island.
00:48:26Danny and Emmanuel have left civilisation behind and are headed for Honeymoon Island.
00:48:37Oh my God.
00:48:38I can see a little shelter thing on that corner.
00:48:40There's no walls, is there?
00:48:41There's no walls, just the roof.
00:48:43I'm struggling to remember Danny.
00:48:49But we're a team now.
00:48:51Are you ready?
00:48:52No.
00:48:54We need to not only survive, but get to know each other and hopefully build a strong bond that, you know, goes beyond this island.
00:49:01All right, let's do this.
00:49:02Ready, set, go.
00:49:03Good.
00:49:05Scary and exciting, but I'm ready just to throw myself into the deep end to find my life harder.
00:49:17It's the first night on Honeymoon Island for our three new couples, and now the adventure can begin.
00:49:23I feel really lucky that I got you.
00:49:29Really?
00:49:30Yeah.
00:49:32Really?
00:49:33Yeah.
00:49:38Marrying a stranger was the easy part.
00:49:40We cannot find matches to light a simple fire.
00:49:43It has to be here.
00:49:45Do you see a flint?
00:49:46Maybe there's a flint.
00:49:47What's a flint?
00:49:49I don't actually know what it is.
00:49:54So batten down the hatches and hold on tight, because this experience is about to blow them away.
00:50:01Holy shit!
00:50:02Holy shit!
00:50:04This thing is insane.
00:50:07Oh, my God!
00:50:11Holy hell!
00:50:12This is for real!
00:50:13We're screwed!
00:50:14As the sun rises over the South Pacific, all six couples are officially stranded on Honeymoon Island.
00:50:34After yesterday's confrontation, Amy and Mike are taking it slow.
00:50:39I think Mike is emotional.
00:50:45I think he's upset.
00:50:48I don't think there'll be much chitchat today.
00:50:54We'll probably stay to our separate corners of the camp.
00:50:58But I now feel like everything that's been bubbling up inside me is out.
00:51:04And I feel like we can really start on working from a fresh slate tomorrow.
00:51:10I don't want there to be this rift between us.
00:51:14He is my partner in this.
00:51:16And at the end of the day, we really only have each other here.
00:51:20I hope that we can move forward from this.
00:51:23I guess we'll just see.
00:51:29How's that?
00:51:31Moan beach shorts.
00:51:32Since being married, flight attendant Georgia and 46-year-old bachelor Chad are yet to have their first kiss.
00:51:44We feel like we're in our little bubble.
00:51:46We're in a little bubble.
00:51:47We're in a bubble.
00:51:48A little honeymoon bubble.
00:51:50We do want to take things slow, but...
00:51:51I'm feeling like the chemistry is definitely there.
00:51:55And I'm very attracted to Chad, like mentally and physically.
00:52:00Of course it's hard to take it slow.
00:52:03You look good.
00:52:05Do you like that?
00:52:06You do.
00:52:18It's always scary getting new feelings for someone.
00:52:20But I always say, no risk, no reward.
00:52:23It just felt right, so...
00:52:26Yes.
00:52:27It was so nice.
00:52:29As you can see by the grin on my face.
00:52:32I can't wait for the smile off.
00:52:33It was worth the wait.
00:52:34Yes.
00:52:35Yes.
00:52:36Yes.
00:52:37Like some firewood.
00:52:38Commitment-faux Bree is starting to warm up to island life with laid-back Sparky Byron.
00:52:59Let's cut them up.
00:53:01Alright, am I doing it?
00:53:02Yeah.
00:53:03Don't you wind up.
00:53:05Why?
00:53:07I think she's doing really well considering she's never had an experience like this before,
00:53:12of like camping and being outdoors.
00:53:15What are we going to do with the other half of the pants?
00:53:16That's the question.
00:53:18Then you add being married to a random.
00:53:20Yeah, it's pretty overwhelming, but...
00:53:24Alright, let's try it on.
00:53:25She's keeping the entertainment there and a bit of creativity, which is fun.
00:53:31We've got leg warmers.
00:53:33Perfect.
00:53:34We can do a jazz routine.
00:53:36It's obvious to see Bree likes me, and I really like Bree too, you know?
00:53:40So, if we didn't like each other, we wouldn't be this happy and enjoying every day.
00:53:46It kind of suits you.
00:53:47You can't look like a nun.
00:53:50A hot nun?
00:53:51Yeah, of course.
00:53:52Our brand new couples are still adjusting to living in the elements.
00:53:59That wind last night, like, it was moving the bed with both of us on it.
00:54:05How'd you sleep?
00:54:07I don't think I actually slept.
00:54:08But relationship coach Jess and personal trainer Sam are too besotted to notice.
00:54:19Give me the order, babe.
00:54:21The night in the honeymoon suite was very relaxed, very chill, nothing risque to report.
00:54:27The physical chemistry, romantic spark is still there.
00:54:32Hello, yes, it's Jessica in Al Fresco Paradiso.
00:54:37Yes, I'd like a double shot oatmeal latte.
00:54:40Yes, honey.
00:54:41Is that right?
00:54:42With honey?
00:54:43I'm the kind of person that will wake up every day and go to bed every night and be like,
00:54:48Hey, do you still like me?
00:54:49Because I need that kind of reassurance.
00:54:52But at the moment, I still think it's there organically, which is amazing.
00:54:57Thank you very much.
00:54:58Catch up.
00:54:59See you soon.
00:55:02While Jess still fills the chemistry with new hubby Sam, on Emily and Tom's island, there's no fire.
00:55:12And for Tom, there's no spark.
00:55:15So today, I will cut your dress down so you can actually walk around.
00:55:20The fire is a priority as well.
00:55:22Yeah, I think waking up this morning, it's kind of all hit me of exactly what I've got myself into.
00:55:29It might reveal too much.
00:55:32Very close to my butt.
00:55:34Yeah, we'll just see.
00:55:36Still don't know if there's that spark there at the moment.
00:55:41In the past, I'd say if I didn't see that spark with someone or, you know, I guess sometimes you might get the ick or something like that,
00:55:50I would usually cut things off, maybe even ghost someone.
00:55:54But being on an island and stranded with her, it's going to be a lot tougher than what I imagined going into this.
00:56:04I can move!
00:56:06I don't think she really knows how I'm feeling.
00:56:09It's just an awkward situation.
00:56:12It actually doesn't look too bad.
00:56:13I feel the need to run away from Emily, but I can't.
00:56:19I'll do a catwalk later.
00:56:22There has been no development in the romance department.
00:56:27I think for now, it's very platonic.
00:56:29So I think I need to set myself like a personal task of maybe flirting a little bit more and see where that leads us.
00:56:37And if it does create more of a romantic spark.
00:56:41We can use this for so much stuff.
00:56:46Sleeping masks.
00:56:49Could also use it for something else, but you know, we'll work that out later.
00:56:53Hand cast.
00:56:54I also feel like he is holding back a little bit.
00:56:59I would love to break down his walls and we will see how he reacts to it.
00:57:06Matches?
00:57:08It has to be somewhere right in front of us that we can't see.
00:57:13Alright, first one to start a fire.
00:57:15Is that what you want to do?
00:57:17Gives the other one a massage.
00:57:18Alright.
00:57:20Yeah?
00:57:22Alright, okay.
00:57:24Yeah, I'll look forward to my massage.
00:57:26I am 100% confident that I can get what I want out of this situation.
00:57:32I'm getting a massage out of this.
00:57:35It has to be here.
00:57:39Am I just blind?
00:57:46The matches are right there.
00:57:49This is so embarrassing that we could not find these last night.
00:57:55It was very difficult to see.
00:57:59But I'm so glad I found them.
00:58:02And I'm going to get the best massage tonight.
00:58:05I cannot wait.
00:58:09What happened to your fire?
00:58:11I'm still searching.
00:58:12It's just a pit stop.
00:58:13I'm just getting some water.
00:58:14I can't wait for my massage tonight.
00:58:15I can't wait for my massage tonight.
00:58:17I didn't really agree to the terms of this.
00:58:18It's just a five-minute massage, right?
00:58:19It's just a five-minute massage, right?
00:58:20It's not...
00:58:22Like, this wasn't an hour long.
00:58:23I got at least ten minutes.
00:58:24Okay, I can deal with ten minutes.
00:58:25Yeah.
00:58:26I honestly have no idea what's going on in Tom's head.
00:58:27I do like it hard, so you can get the best massage.
00:58:28I can't wait for my massage tonight.
00:58:29I can't wait for my massage tonight.
00:58:30I didn't really agree to the terms of this.
00:58:35It's just a five-minute massage, right?
00:58:36It's not...
00:58:37Like, this wasn't an hour long.
00:58:39I got at least ten minutes.
00:58:42Okay, I can deal with ten minutes, yeah.
00:58:46I honestly have no idea what's going on in Tom's head.
00:58:52I do like it hard, so you can go as hard as you like if you like.
00:58:57It's hard?
00:58:58Yeah.
00:58:59I don't know if he's an affectionate person.
00:59:05It doesn't seem like it.
00:59:07Can we set the timer for ten minutes?
00:59:10It's a mental timer at this point.
00:59:12I expect you to be counting down.
00:59:14Sure.
00:59:15I'm flirting, and he is the one pulling back.
00:59:19I'm done.
00:59:21All right, so my debt's paid?
00:59:25Yeah.
00:59:26Good.
00:59:27I'm starting to realise that, yeah, he's distant with me.
00:59:34If he's not interested, then that's fine.
00:59:36But I also would prefer him to tell me that.
00:59:40So I'm not trying to put in all this effort again
00:59:43and get little in return.
00:59:47After being single for seven years,
00:59:50I am so scared of getting hurt again.
00:59:54And if this isn't to work out, I don't want to have my heart broken once again.
00:59:59I am so scared of getting hurt again.
01:00:00I am so scared of getting hurt again.
01:00:02I am so scared of getting hurt again.
01:00:04Owning.
01:00:05I am so scared.
01:00:06How do we feel?
01:00:10Straw'knaq J sencill, what?
01:00:17So, the fuck you's coming towards the 24th year?
01:00:18No.
01:00:19So thearte's made at the end of the year,
01:00:21For Danny and Emmanuel, getting married and stranded on Honeymoon Island
01:00:25hasn't exactly been smooth sailing.
01:00:29High knees.
01:00:31Not only did Emmanuel not recognise his new wife at the altar,
01:00:36Gayle Forcewinds last night prevented them from getting acquainted.
01:00:41What would you like on the menu, Dal? A bit of shakshuka?
01:00:44Shakshuka would be great. No eggs?
01:00:45Great. Shakshuka, no eggs. Let's run it.
01:00:48Danny and I are getting along really well,
01:00:50but I'm struggling to remember Danny from the speed dating event.
01:00:53And I'm not really sure what we have in common right now.
01:00:57It's our first dinner together.
01:00:58That's cute.
01:01:00Is this our first date?
01:01:02This is our first date.
01:01:03So I'm hoping the more I get to spend time with Danny,
01:01:07we can get to know each other on a deeper level.
01:01:10Cheers.
01:01:10Cheers.
01:01:11This is our first date.
01:01:14It's really nice.
01:01:16Are you originally from Sydney?
01:01:17Yeah, I'm originally from Sydney.
01:01:18And now I'm a Gold Coastian.
01:01:21Are you from Sydney?
01:01:22Yeah.
01:01:23I was born in Sydney and then now I live on Magnetic Island,
01:01:26just off Townsville.
01:01:28Sydney is like really hustling, bustling and crazy and like...
01:01:31It's too much, hey.
01:01:32It's getting very angsty for me and I just wanted to go and find what I love the most.
01:01:36Yep, I know that feeling.
01:01:38I climbed the corporate ladder.
01:01:39I lived the city life.
01:01:40I did all that.
01:01:41Yeah.
01:01:41And then I burnt out.
01:01:43Yeah, that's exactly right.
01:01:44It's not fun.
01:01:45It's not.
01:01:47First day was really nice.
01:01:49We are both in Queensland running away from our city fears.
01:01:54We have a very similar outlook on life and I'm starting to realise why we've been stranded
01:02:00on this island together.
01:02:02I think that's why I love Maggie so much.
01:02:05I've just never been anywhere where I could be more like myself.
01:02:09Yeah.
01:02:09I love that.
01:02:09And be so accepted for who I am.
01:02:11I love that.
01:02:12I love that.
01:02:12Yeah.
01:02:13Yeah, I'm the same type of person.
01:02:14Yeah.
01:02:15We share the same values and it's a good energy and the conversation and vibes are flowing.
01:02:22I mean, I'm excited about the next three weeks now.
01:02:25It's a good day.
01:02:35Let me give this thing a whirl.
01:02:37It's really good actually.
01:02:38Is it just?
01:02:39Yeah.
01:02:40I think we just get a new one every day and that's how we do it.
01:02:42After an instant attraction at the wedding, Jess and Sam have been swept away by their chemistry
01:02:48and are now in marital bliss.
01:02:50It looks pretty good.
01:02:52But how long will the honeymoon period last?
01:02:55I'm really impressed.
01:02:57You know, everything's been really, really amazing.
01:02:59We had a really epic night in bed together last night.
01:03:02Lots of cuddling.
01:03:02There's been lots of kissing, lots of love, lots of touching.
01:03:05Give me a high five or a hug.
01:03:08Do you want high fives?
01:03:10Nice job.
01:03:11Part of me wants to go like, oh my God, is this happening?
01:03:15This is the one.
01:03:16But I've had relationships in the past where you start too fast, too early and the emotional
01:03:23connection struggles.
01:03:24I've got to be careful not to fall into that trap.
01:03:33I feel a really good connection with you and a chemistry and a comfortability with you.
01:03:40Like, I really do.
01:03:41It's been a great 24 hours and we're like, you know, literally like the chemistry in your
01:03:47head.
01:03:47Like, endorphins are starting to go, dopamine's starting to go, serotonin's starting to go.
01:03:52Yes, I understand.
01:03:53And then when we slow down for a second and we go like, oh, like, is this even real?
01:03:57Like, you know?
01:03:58Yeah.
01:03:58But, um, with what I've been doing over the last four months, three and a half, whatever,
01:04:05you know, I'm able to look at things much more level-headedly.
01:04:08Like, for this to seriously work, it's going to be slow.
01:04:16It's just because, you know.
01:04:20Yeah.
01:04:25So.
01:04:27Yeah.
01:04:27I'm really grateful I've got you and I'm glad we can have these conversations and...
01:04:32Me too.
01:04:36That conversation today did throw me a little bit.
01:04:40He needs space.
01:04:42This is what tends to happen when I meet men.
01:04:46There's amazing chemistry to start with and then suddenly they'll start to pull away.
01:04:53It feels like Sam is losing interest.
01:04:56You do what you need to do.
01:04:57I just want to try and do this right.
01:05:05I had so much hope that this experience would be different for me.
01:05:09So, I am a little bit confused and honestly a little bit disappointed.
01:05:17The island will force all our couples to confront their bad relationship habits from the past
01:05:28and face their own red flags in order to create a long-lasting relationship.
01:05:34The water feels nice.
01:05:35The water feels nice.
01:05:35And after being stranded for 24 hours, they're about to receive a wedding gift.
01:05:43Oh!
01:05:44Oh!
01:05:45What is that?
01:05:46Let's go.
01:05:47Oh, I hope there's snacks in it.
01:05:49I hope there is.
01:05:53What is that?
01:05:53This mysterious orange crate...
01:05:58What's going on here?
01:05:59...is the first of many that will arrive throughout their time on Honeymoon Island.
01:06:04Great!
01:06:05Finally!
01:06:06Something's landed on our island.
01:06:08They'll contain surprises, challenges and tests to accelerate their bond and push their relationships forward.
01:06:16Ah!
01:06:17All right, let's go.
01:06:18This is exciting.
01:06:19Ready?
01:06:20Three, two, one.
01:06:21Oh, my God.
01:06:22Go.
01:06:23Ah!
01:06:24Yay!
01:06:25Oh, my God!
01:06:26Today's crate celebrates our couple's nuptials...
01:06:27Wow.
01:06:28That's cute.
01:06:29Look at us.
01:06:30...and brings a message from home.
01:06:31What have we got here?
01:06:32...kind words of wisdom and support...
01:06:34Haven't seen one of those in a while.
01:06:35I haven't seen one of those in a while.
01:06:36All right, let's go.
01:06:37All right, let's go.
01:06:38This is exciting.
01:06:39Ready?
01:06:40Ready?
01:06:41Three, two, one.
01:06:42Oh, my God.
01:06:43Go.
01:06:44Oh, my God.
01:06:45...and support...
01:06:46Haven't seen one of those in a while.
01:06:47I know, right?
01:06:48Technology.
01:06:49What have we got here?
01:06:50...for our isolated couples.
01:06:52Hello.
01:06:53Hi.
01:06:54Hi, Denny.
01:06:55My name's Emily.
01:06:56I'm Denny's best friend.
01:06:58She's never been the sort of person to follow the crowd.
01:07:02I'm so happy that she's taken this risk in trying to find love.
01:07:07Oh, I love her so much.
01:07:10Ooh.
01:07:11Hi, Manuel.
01:07:12That's my sister.
01:07:13I can't believe you're married.
01:07:16I just really hope what you gain from this whole experience is that you are so worthy
01:07:21of being loved no matter the situation.
01:07:24She's beautiful.
01:07:27Other messages will contain reminders as to why they've committed to 21 days of isolation.
01:07:34No, I think you should go first.
01:07:36To help them avoid relationship mistakes from the past.
01:07:40I feel like Tom is holding back a little bit.
01:07:43I would love to break down his walls and get to more the nitty-gritty of why he's pulling
01:07:48away a little bit and understand who he is as a person.
01:07:51Well, Thomas Brown, how did we end up here?
01:07:55Yeah, that's my brother-in-law.
01:07:57You're on an island and you're married.
01:07:59Something that we didn't think we'd be saying a few months ago, but here we are.
01:08:04We know that you had a pretty bad breakup a couple of years ago and took a toll on you.
01:08:11And it's been a bit of a struggle for you ever since.
01:08:15You haven't been able to, you know, find the perfect girl.
01:08:19You've got so much to offer.
01:08:21You're a tremendous bloke.
01:08:22And the girls tell me that you're not too bad on the eye either.
01:08:25So that's probably a good thing.
01:08:27We're all so proud of you, mate.
01:08:29And all the best.
01:08:30That's funny.
01:08:31Do you want to tell me about your ex?
01:08:37There's a time in my life where I found someone that I thought was going to be the person
01:08:46that I'd marry and spend the rest of my life with.
01:08:49But yeah, it just didn't work out.
01:08:55She kind of ended things like kind of out of the blue.
01:08:58And I think that's probably why I've struggled dating after that.
01:09:04I think I've been looking for that same kind of connection that I had with her.
01:09:17Yeah.
01:09:19Do you feel that, you know, you're not completely over her in that case?
01:09:24Um...
01:09:34In the 2003
01:09:42After hearing about Tom's past relationship, Emily is desperately trying to find out why he's pulling away from her.
01:09:47It was a time in my life where I found someone that, yeah, I thought was going to be the person that I'd marry and spend the rest of my life with.
01:09:53But yeah, it just didn't work out.
01:09:56Do you feel that, you know, you're not completely over her in that case?
01:10:04Um, um, I'm completely over her, but there's a slight fear of getting in a situation where,
01:10:17you know, I make a commitment to the wrong person and it ends badly.
01:10:21You know, you fall in love with them and you think you're going to start a life with them,
01:10:28but then it doesn't go to plan and then things end.
01:10:31And then you go through that trauma of another breakup.
01:10:34So I end up cutting things off.
01:10:37So I don't have a chance to, you know, to have that rejection.
01:10:44But yeah.
01:10:51Have you always been the one to break things off?
01:11:01I probably have been the one to end things, I think.
01:11:07I'll start dating someone and then after a few times being with them,
01:11:13there's something in my gut that tells me it's not going to work out.
01:11:16So I usually just cut things off without really letting them know why I'm cutting things off
01:11:25or give them excuses for other reasons as to why I'm cutting it off, I guess.
01:11:30So you tell them lies?
01:11:33Um, no, I wouldn't say I tell them lies.
01:11:37Um, or maybe a white lie.
01:11:42Um.
01:11:42This whole situation is really triggering.
01:11:46I've been lied to in the past and I'm constantly getting ghosted.
01:11:50His past relationships have sort of moulded him into who he is,
01:11:54which is someone who runs away quite easily and doesn't really give things a chance.
01:12:01But that's kind of part of the reason I took up this experience was
01:12:04that you don't have that opportunity to, like, just cut things off and run away.
01:12:10It is a scary thing to keep trying with Tom,
01:12:14but I think this island is a great place to move past that sort of issues that we both have.
01:12:23Do you feel like you'd get things better off your chest if you started opening up
01:12:27and maybe that would help you in relationships?
01:12:28Yeah, definitely, Emily.
01:12:32I think that would help.
01:12:33But stubborn and it's hard for me to do that.
01:12:37Yeah, I'm not going to give up at this point in time.
01:12:39I'm going to keep, you know, keep trying at it
01:12:40and see if we can develop something with these little sparks.
01:12:45I'm a very good talker, if you haven't noticed.
01:12:48I have noticed.
01:12:49In no way am I, like, ready to throw in the towel and give up.
01:12:54I really want to break my bad habit of running away.
01:12:58I need to be open to this.
01:13:01I really like Emily and moving forward,
01:13:04I think I just want to continue having those conversations with her
01:13:07and getting to know her and just see where it goes.
01:13:09I'll make you talk more.
01:13:10So far, the messages from home have been crucial
01:13:24in offering insight into each other's behaviour.
01:13:28Let's do it.
01:13:31Sam has asked that we take things slow,
01:13:34which I'm completely happy with.
01:13:36But it feels like rejection
01:13:38and it feels like he's losing interest in me already.
01:13:42So I'm a little bit worried about where I stand with Sam.
01:13:46Hi, Sam.
01:13:47I'm so excited to be able to send this message to you.
01:13:51It's your mum.
01:13:51Yeah, it's mum.
01:13:53Sam, it's been a huge year for us,
01:13:56for the family and for you in particular.
01:13:58You know, losing your dad at your age is really difficult.
01:14:04And it's been a tough ride for all of us.
01:14:08I know your dad's proud of you.
01:14:11To your new partner in life,
01:14:14he's got a massive heart.
01:14:16I'm very biased.
01:14:17But, you know, I'm his mum.
01:14:22Relationships are not easy.
01:14:24And just throwing love into it
01:14:26doesn't make it a magic formula.
01:14:29Please work at it.
01:14:31Be kind to each other.
01:14:32Reflect on each other.
01:14:34Reflect on who you are and who she is.
01:14:36I miss you already.
01:14:38Love you, mate.
01:14:39Bye.
01:14:40Love you, mum.
01:14:41She's wise.
01:14:43Yeah.
01:14:44Seeing him get emotional about the message from his mum
01:14:53was really touching.
01:14:55Need a minute?
01:14:56I'll be right.
01:14:57Which we've just been through, like...
01:15:04We've been through so much, like, as a family.
01:15:09And, um...
01:15:11We've just both been each other's rocks, like, so many times.
01:15:14And, um...
01:15:15I think my mum...
01:15:17She's really ready to see me just be, like, really happy.
01:15:21Yeah.
01:15:21Sam has been through a lot.
01:15:25I feel like I have a better idea of who Sam is right now.
01:15:29And I can understand why he might want to move a little bit slower.
01:15:33It just...
01:15:33It'd mean...
01:15:34It'd mean a lot to be able to find the one.
01:15:37Yeah.
01:15:38Yeah.
01:15:39I don't think he's lost interest in me.
01:15:41He's just going through a lot.
01:15:42I just need to remember why I'm here.
01:15:47You okay?
01:15:49Yeah.
01:15:50I know from my past experiences that chemistry fades.
01:15:56And I came here to build a strong foundation with somebody.
01:16:00All right.
01:16:05So, I'll go as slow as I need to.
01:16:12Across all six islands, the experience is underway.
01:16:18Nature's dishwasher.
01:16:20Oh, yeah.
01:16:24Motorsport host Mike and TikToker Amy are coexisting and being civil with each other.
01:16:30Have we got enough for tonight, do you reckon?
01:16:33We've got enough for, like, four days.
01:16:36Enough firework for days.
01:16:38For now.
01:16:39Because the day has one last surprise.
01:16:44Oi.
01:16:45Yeah?
01:16:47The blood or something.
01:16:49Oh, my God.
01:16:51What the hell's that?
01:16:53Did you put that there?
01:16:55No.
01:16:56Oh, my God.
01:16:58That needs to wash the shower.
01:17:01I see the bottle and I was like, oh, here we go.
01:17:05Oh, what?
01:17:07What is it?
01:17:08What is that?
01:17:10Another container.
01:17:11I didn't see it.
01:17:12Another container.
01:17:14It's a message in a bottle.
01:17:16Okay, do you want to do the honors?
01:17:21Oh.
01:17:23What?
01:17:24Oh.
01:17:25Oh, my God.
01:17:27Wow.
01:17:27Wow.
01:17:27Wow.
01:17:27Wow.
01:17:27Wow.
01:17:27Wow.
01:17:28Wow.
01:17:29Wow.
01:17:30Wow.
01:17:31Wow.
01:17:32Wow.
01:17:33Wow.
01:17:34Wow.
01:17:35Wow.
01:17:36Wow.
01:17:37Wow.
01:17:38Wow.
01:17:39Wow.
01:17:44Oh, my God.
01:17:44Look.
01:17:46What?
01:17:47Wow.
01:17:50Look.
01:17:51What is it?
01:17:51The message in a bottle.
01:17:53A message in a bottle?
01:17:54A message in a bottle has washed up on the shore of all six islands.
01:18:00OK, do you want to do the honours?
01:18:03An invitation too good to refuse.
01:18:07Oh!
01:18:09Nearly weds.
01:18:11Tomorrow you will meet the other couples who are sharing this experience with you.
01:18:15The time has come for Couples' Cove!
01:18:18A boat will arrive in the morning to collect you and take you to Couples' Cove.
01:18:23Ooh, cowbonga.
01:18:25Couples' Cove, that's exciting.
01:18:27I'm so excited to just hear, like, we're not alone in this and there's other couples going through this exact same thing.
01:18:34Prepare yourselves to share experiences with the other couples going through it with you.
01:18:40Yeah.
01:18:41That'll be interesting.
01:18:44Yes, oh my god.
01:18:46Exciting.
01:18:49I'm looking forward to Couples' Cove.
01:18:52I can't wait to tell the other couples about Mike and what I've had to deal with.
01:19:05What are you feeling about seeing the other couples?
01:19:09I'm excited.
01:19:10Hiya.
01:19:11It'll be interesting to see who is there.
01:19:16What do you mean?
01:19:19Something I haven't told you.
01:19:23There was one guy at the speed dating.
01:19:25I actually knew before.
01:19:28What, like, you dated before?
01:19:30No, not really dated.
01:19:31Just matched on the apps.
01:19:34I'm like, yeah, okay.
01:19:35Just made some very vulgar comments.
01:19:42There is one particular person that I do not want to see at Couples' Cove.
01:19:47When I saw him at the speed dating night, it kind of blew my mind that we were sort of in this experience at the same time.
01:19:54Fingers crossed he's not going to be at Couples' Cove because I blocked him on everything after the comments that he made.
01:20:00He is just icky.
01:20:02I don't want him to be there.
01:20:05What stuff did he say to you before the speed dating event?
01:20:09Um...
01:20:11Ask me what colour underwear I was wearing.
01:20:16I just think that's really inappropriate.
01:20:18I don't know the guy from a bar of soap.
01:20:21I don't know his sense of humour.
01:20:22He doesn't know mine.
01:20:24To me, this guy's character doesn't show that he's genuine and that he's actually looking for a relationship.
01:20:28For someone to be in their 30s and making those kind of ridiculous remarks is disgusting to me.
01:20:34And just shows it not mature enough, not the kind of person I would want to be with.
01:20:39Which guy was it?
01:20:42His name's Mike.
01:20:46Paul, Kiwi, Mike.
01:20:49Sweet ears.
01:20:50I just don't want to have anything to do with someone who asks those disgusting questions.
01:20:57Yeah, right.
01:20:59Would you tell his wife that this happened if he was there?
01:21:01I definitely want to say something.
01:21:03I'd definitely let her know, like, the kind of person that I dealt with.
01:21:07I am someone who always has my girls' backs.
01:21:10If this guy is at Couples Cove, I will be pulling his wife aside and letting her know the disgusting comments that he's made.
01:21:21Nah, sorry, he's not going to be there. I wouldn't worry about it.
01:21:25Let's hope.
01:21:27Fingers crossed, Mike is not at Couples Cove.
01:21:30Still to come, six new couples are leaving their island bubble.
01:21:41I'm so excited to meet the other couples.
01:21:44And setting sail for Couples Cove.
01:21:47This is it.
01:21:51Where one groom's past
01:21:54will come to the surface.
01:21:57Is that him?
01:21:58And where secrets and scandals.
01:22:01Okay, so I'm going to talk to you about something.
01:22:04I met Mike prior to the speed dating night.
01:22:07Really?
01:22:08Rise up.
01:22:09I do have a question.
01:22:11In a tsunami of drama.
01:22:13Why do you have a relationship on the outside of this?
01:22:16Damn, that's a big bomb drop.
01:22:18Sweeping one couple into very troubled waters.
01:22:22He seems like such a nice guy and now I just want to tip my red wine all over him.
01:22:28I don't know if I can.
01:22:29Not too long as he has a good one.
01:22:30I'm sorry.
01:22:31You're not alone.
01:22:32I'm sorry.
01:22:33I'm sorry.
01:22:34I'm not alone.
01:22:35Let's go.
01:22:36I'm sorry.
01:22:38You're wrong.
01:22:39You're wrong.
01:22:40Yeah.
01:22:41Yeah.
01:22:42I'm sorry.
01:22:43I'm sorry.
01:22:45You're wrong.
01:22:46I'm sorry.
01:22:47I'm sorry.
01:22:48Yeah.
01:22:49I'm sorry.
