00:00And you know that I'm not a friend of the town.
00:19I asked a small, tan, ethnic.
00:24She's the complete opposite in every single thing.
00:35I fucking hate it.
00:37That's bullshit.
00:38Could you do it?
00:39Can't do it.
00:43It's like, you'd be an even more of a dick if you do it.
00:46Fuck or whatever, then I'm not even more of a fucker.
00:51There's just no way I'm not looking like an asshole after this.
00:55Literally any other girl here, I would be into it.
00:59Literally, I can't do that.
01:04A triangle has three corners.
01:13And this year, they are sharper than ever before.
01:18No, Peyton, come on.
01:19Honestly, Peyton, I'm not doing this.
01:21I'm out.
01:22Can we please stop?
01:24Like, why would you fuck around someone who was a fucking kid?
01:28Oh, God.
01:29Have I not been a high-value woman this whole fucking time?
01:32The answer's no.
01:33The status of modern dating, I think, is here for a good time, not for a long time.
01:56Five singles lay their hearts on the line.
02:01I hate dating apps, going on first dates, small talk.
02:06When they enter a bold and radical experience.
02:12Love triangle will see the singles matched with two suitors, sight unseen.
02:20I'm excited about going completely blind.
02:21No photos, no idea who they're texting.
02:26First impressions, personality only, banter.
02:29Do I like you or not?
02:31Can they form a more authentic connection before deciding which suitor they will meet in real life?
02:39Ari?
02:39Hey.
02:40Hey.
02:41Hey.
02:41Hey.
02:43Goodness me, I didn't know what to expect.
02:45Did I disappoint?
02:46No, not at all.
02:46You're really lovely.
02:49And this season...
02:51How long has it been since you've been since you've been since you've been since?
02:54Six years.
02:55Six years.
02:56Oh my gosh.
02:57Hmm.
02:57I'm Mike.
02:58I'm 50 years old.
03:00I'm from the Gold Coast.
03:01And you might remember me from Maths Season 6.
03:06Australia's most controversial single is Back for Redemption.
03:12People remember me as being a little bit brutally honest.
03:16Look, I'm not your therapist.
03:18This isn't therapy.
03:19Maybe just a little bit brutal in general.
03:22I think groups of women under pressure don't cope as well as groups of men under pressure.
03:29Leave everyone else's relationships to themselves.
03:33You know, stick to your knitting.
03:36Has he changed his controversial ways?
03:39I'm not used to people just getting to know me for who I am.
03:44So we're on the up and up.
03:45Or will old habits die hard?
03:51This is Chloe.
03:51Chloe's irritating.
03:53I've had enough of your bullshit.
03:55And just as sparks begin to fly.
04:00Hell yeah.
04:01Hot vibes.
04:02Ten, ten, ten, ten, ten.
04:03The guy's hot.
04:04I'm not blind.
04:06The experience takes a dramatic turn.
04:11Oh no.
04:12Oh my God.
04:13As the rejected suitors arrive.
04:17Hey, how are ya?
04:18Hello.
04:20What the fuck is happening?
04:22They will face their toughest decision.
04:25I'm getting along really well with both of them.
04:27I know it's not going to make them both happy.
04:29But it's my triangle.
04:30Leading to a scandal so shocking
04:34that a special guest has flown in to dissect it.
04:43Hey Australia, I'm Chrishell Stouth.
04:45Get ready for the season three love triangle reunion.
04:50You said that there was something holding you back.
04:53Let's have a look at what that was.
04:55Oh God.
04:56You were playing the both of us.
04:57That's literally the playbook of fuckboys.
05:02A shocking truth will be exposed.
05:05You're a fucking twat.
05:08Across the country,
05:11three singles are about to embark on a radical experience.
05:16Sitting somewhere.
05:18Don't know what they look like.
05:20But we're going to start texting today.
05:22No pity.
05:23I love.
05:23They've each been matched with two very different suitors
05:29with no idea what they look like.
05:32The two matches that I've been given are Melissa and Melinda.
05:36I like those names, so we're off to a good start.
05:39For three days, they can text and call each other.
05:42Then they'll choose who to go on the biggest first date of their lives with.
05:52And whether the date is a hit or a miss,
05:55they will then move in together.
06:02What are you doing, buddy?
06:03Just looking at the camera.
06:05I was looking at if I look okay.
06:06Are you successful with the ladies?
06:15Look, am I successful with the ladies?
06:18You need to ask yourself,
06:19what's your definition of success first?
06:21If it is just hooking up with people
06:23with no strings attached,
06:25not a lot of emotion,
06:26maybe I'm successful a little bit.
06:30My name is Bernie.
06:31I'm 27,
06:32and I'm a Portuguese guy living in Melbourne.
06:34I do a bit of DJing.
06:37Been known to do a few paintings here and there.
06:39And recently, I've also been playing around on TikTok,
06:42like content creation.
06:43I have, like, these ambitions
06:45of living a life that's not ordinary.
06:47I feel like maybe boomers have, like, a different idea,
06:50and they're like,
06:50you need to work for nine to five.
06:52You need to have a baby by this age.
06:54Like, is that something that I want?
06:56Like, want that traditional life?
06:58Probably not.
07:00How do you find dating Australia?
07:02That shit is, it's cooked.
07:06People go on dating apps
07:08to just look at pretty faces.
07:10People want that quick fix of dopamine,
07:12and then move on to the next one.
07:14But, um,
07:17I feel like,
07:18hmm,
07:19I'm definitely part of the problem as well.
07:21Um, yeah.
07:22I always go through, like,
07:24a very similar pattern of, like, meet someone,
07:26and then if they say something
07:28that doesn't really, you know, tickle my fancy,
07:30I'll just move on to the next one.
07:37The thing is, though,
07:39I do want to commit.
07:40I do love love,
07:42which is so, so, so, so rogue to say,
07:45and so cringe to say,
07:46but, like, being in love is the best.
07:48So I think this experience
07:51will be a great opportunity
07:52for me to try to change my ways
07:55a little bit.
07:56But not knowing what they look like
07:58is going to fucking kill me,
07:59I'm not going to lie.
08:01Like, not knowing
08:02if I'm going to be attracted to them or not.
08:07Ah, let's go.
08:09Jasmine and Marissa.
08:12I've never met a Marissa,
08:13I'm not going to lie to you,
08:14but Jasmine is a hot girl name, for sure.
08:17Hoping to curb his toxic dating behaviour
08:20and find a real connection,
08:23Bernie has been matched
08:25with 30-year-old Marissa from Sydney
08:27and 30-year-old Jasmine from Melbourne.
08:32He'll spend the next three days
08:35getting to know them
08:36before deciding
08:37who he has the best connection with.
08:41We're doing it.
08:46All right, my love,
08:48first question to kick us off,
08:50what's your dream Saturday?
08:51I just think it's nice
08:53because it's, like,
08:53I'm not,
08:54it doesn't seem so business-like.
08:56All right, my love is, like,
08:57relax, like, you're in,
08:58this is a comfortable, safe space.
09:00Do you know what I mean?
09:03Jasmine's read it.
09:07This is hot girl behaviour right here.
09:10Texting quick.
09:11Ah, God.
09:27This is a bit generic.
09:30I was expecting a bit more detail.
09:34I want to know, like,
09:35where are you going?
09:37What are you eating?
09:38That just makes me,
09:39gives me a better picture.
09:40One of my friends describe me
09:48as a golden retriever
09:48because my energy
09:50and my smile
09:51and my kindness,
09:52I just always
09:54see the best in every day.
09:56I'm definitely a girl's girl.
09:58I love dressing up with my girls
10:00and we go out for dinner,
10:01we take photos.
10:03It's just so much fun.
10:04I love it.
10:04I want to settle down now.
10:07I've seen what's out there
10:09and the contaminated sea
10:10and I'm so ready to get married.
10:12I want to have kids.
10:13I want to have the white picket fans
10:15and the family.
10:16Is any of this really interesting?
10:24Not really that much.
10:28Some people take a bit longer
10:29to warm up, though.
10:30It's fine.
10:30That's all good.
10:31That's no stress.
10:32I get it, doll.
10:33Don't worry.
10:37Sorry, guys.
10:38Just getting these boring questions
10:39out of the way.
10:41Sounds to bad.
10:44Marissa's replying now.
10:50X.
10:51She's cheeky.
10:52She's trying to put me
10:53in my place.
10:54I like it.
11:03I love it.
11:04She's giving me
11:05a lot more to work with.
11:10Maybe with you to join.
11:12Wink.
11:14Let's go.
11:15Scary movie.
11:17She's not fooling me.
11:19She can't fool me.
11:23Buckle up,
11:30because I'll keep
11:30being cheeky.
11:31Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi.
11:35Wait a minute.
11:36Is she American?
11:39I live in Sydney,
11:40but I'm originally
11:41from Texas.
11:43Men definitely
11:44can't resist
11:45a Texan girl.
11:47But you've got to be careful.
11:48Don't mess with Texans.
11:49I love to party.
11:54I party
11:55probably most weekends.
11:58I like to go out
11:59and flirt.
12:00I like to show off
12:01my body.
12:02I've worked hard for it.
12:03A lot of people think,
12:04oh, she's a party girl.
12:06But as you start
12:07to get to know me,
12:08lots of other, like,
12:09layers unravel.
12:13There's definitely
12:13the really soft
12:15and gentle side.
12:15I'm looking for a guy
12:18who is kind
12:19and educated,
12:21someone who's super fit.
12:23I definitely love
12:25a little bit of muscle
12:26to snuggle up to at night.
12:28I mean, who wouldn't?
12:30I love you.
12:31Nah, kidding.
12:32Calm down.
12:39Conversation right now,
12:40it's like the analogy
12:42of the fire.
12:43It's just building up.
12:45I think that
12:48Marissa's
12:49going to be hot.
12:52Sexy.
12:53That's the vibe
12:53that I'm getting.
12:57I can feel it
12:58in the air a little bit.
12:59There's a little bit
12:59of spiciness.
13:00You know what I mean?
13:02It's going somewhere.
13:04I'm not going to
13:05tell you guys where.
13:10The gentleman never tells,
13:12but Marissa's giving me
13:14the vibes.
13:17Do you know what I mean?
13:20I think I know what you mean.
13:21Yeah, okay, cool.
13:22In case that wasn't clear enough.
13:26Fuck yeah.
13:26As things heat up
13:29for Serial Day to Bernie,
13:31our next single
13:34is back for
13:35a second chance
13:36at love.
13:36How does it feel
13:43to be getting in the chair?
13:45Good.
13:46Good.
13:47How long has it been
13:47since you've been in the chair?
13:49Six years.
13:50Six years.
13:51Yeah,
13:5126th of September,
13:532018.
13:54Oh my gosh.
13:55Hmm.
13:56Fancy that.
13:58Fancy that.
14:00You want me to do that?
14:01No,
14:02you do that.
14:03Mike Masterinsky.
14:04I'm Mike.
14:11I'm 50 years old.
14:12I'm from the Gold Coast.
14:15And you might remember me
14:16from Maths Season 6.
14:20Hello, husband.
14:21Nice to meet you.
14:25Nice to see you.
14:26Oh, you too.
14:27I went on right at first sight
14:28to find love.
14:29Really cool.
14:30Oh, so are you.
14:31But people remember me
14:33as being a little bit
14:36brutally honest
14:36and maybe just
14:39a little bit brutal
14:39in general.
14:40I feel like I was born
14:42strong.
14:43Like I moved out of home
14:44when I was still
14:45in high school and stuff
14:46and I had to go
14:47and live in foster care,
14:49got government housing
14:50and then lived by myself.
14:52Look, I'm not your therapist.
14:54This isn't therapy.
14:56You're just telling me.
14:59I think groups of women
15:01under pressure
15:02don't cope as well
15:03as groups of men
15:04under pressure.
15:04Hey, Jess,
15:09leave everyone else's
15:10relationships to themselves.
15:12You know, stick to your knitting.
15:17I have made a lot of mistakes
15:18but the biggest regret
15:20is I found love.
15:23Heidi,
15:25I love you.
15:28I love you.
15:28Oh, my God.
15:34And then I let her slip
15:36through my fingers.
15:39Mike, were you in love?
15:41I was, yeah.
15:43Are you still in love?
15:45Yeah, probably.
15:49Are you still in love?
15:54No.
15:57No.
16:00Did he break your heart?
16:02Yeah.
16:02It's fucking sad.
16:11The years after maths
16:13have given me
16:16a lot of time
16:16to reflect on
16:18my behaviour.
16:19I do regret
16:20the things that I said
16:21in those moments.
16:23I still am flawed
16:24in many ways
16:27but I definitely feel like
16:29I've made some progress.
16:31You've got to hope so anyway.
16:33I mean,
16:33you know,
16:34that guy needed to,
16:36you know,
16:36he needed to figure it out a bit.
16:39Now I'm at an age
16:41where I've left it very late
16:43to, you know,
16:44meet someone
16:45and maybe start a family
16:47or maybe take on
16:48someone's family.
16:50So...
16:51Hey, how are you?
16:52Good.
16:52I'm excited about Love Triangle.
16:54Dating since maths,
16:56it's been difficult.
16:57There's just preconceived
16:59ideas of who I am.
17:01I have had women in the past
17:03just confront me
17:04straight up
17:05and say,
17:06didn't like you.
17:07So,
17:08in this experience,
17:09it is nice to have
17:10a bit of anonymity.
17:11I'm going to be able to
17:13be completely myself
17:15without being prejudged
17:17by my matches.
17:19Looking for a judgment-free connection,
17:22Mike has been matched
17:24with Melinda from Wollongong
17:26and Melissa from Sydney.
17:32Melissa and Melinda.
17:34OK.
17:36So,
17:36I'm going to be going
17:38by Michael,
17:38not Mike,
17:39because I suppose,
17:41you know,
17:41having done maths,
17:43I'm easily identified
17:44if you do,
17:45like,
17:45a search online.
17:46So,
17:47I wouldn't want,
17:48you know,
17:48to be prejudged
17:49by my matches.
17:51That makes me sound like
17:52I think I'm a star
17:53or something.
17:55Which I am.
17:56But,
17:56I'm kidding.
17:59And it begins.
18:01How's it going?
18:03Nah.
18:04I could do better than that.
18:06Um.
18:09I'm feeling nervous
18:11starting a texting conversation.
18:14I want to mix it up a bit.
18:16What's cooking?
18:18That's lame.
18:19Like,
18:20you've got to really
18:21think about what you're saying.
18:23You know,
18:23I don't want anything
18:24to get lost in translation.
18:26There's a bug in the pool
18:27that's going to bother me.
18:30Can we get a pool scoop?
18:34Sorry.
18:40Oh,
18:41Melinda,
18:41here we go.
18:42Yeah.
18:42I like the well hello there.
18:46That's,
18:46that's a strong move.
18:48You know,
18:48well hello there,
18:49Michael.
18:49It's got a soft,
18:51sort of a confident spin to it.
18:58I look for someone
18:59who can match my energy,
19:01which is very hard.
19:03I need to be entertained.
19:05I am not into like boring people,
19:08boring conversation.
19:10You've got like this long
19:11to,
19:12to captivate me
19:13and get me excited
19:14and then I'm done.
19:17I can be sassy,
19:19but I also have a lot of love to give.
19:22I'm so ready to find my person
19:24and that'll be the final piece
19:26of the puzzle.
19:27Oh,
19:38here we go.
19:40Okay.
19:40Oh,
19:41lucky you.
19:41Watch those tan lines,
19:43lol.
19:44But I,
19:45I can't think of it.
19:46Anything funny
19:46that goes with tan lines.
19:51Hmm.
19:54Dang it.
19:54This is,
19:55I've,
19:55I've drawn a blank.
19:57Come on Mike,
19:59think.
20:02Okay.
20:03No,
20:03hee hee.
20:05Uh,
20:06it's not sunny enough for that.
20:09Hey?
20:12No,
20:13no,
20:13no.
20:14But,
20:16ah,
20:16there's a punchline in here,
20:17I just know it.
20:20Maybe if I start typing,
20:21it'll come.
20:25It's,
20:25no,
20:26I've got nothing.
20:28Hang on.
20:29Okay.
20:31Melissa's writing something.
20:38I'm actually just working,
20:40nothing overly exciting.
20:44Okay.
20:44short to the point.
20:46I may have to,
20:48I don't know,
20:49start to
20:49dig down a bit,
20:51you know.
20:51Mm.
20:57I would definitely say
20:58it's the simple things in life
20:59that keep me happy.
21:03I love to go to the gym.
21:04I love going to the beach.
21:06I'm definitely a water baby.
21:09Yeah,
21:09so,
21:09I still live at home.
21:11I live with my family.
21:13I love coming home
21:14to a house full of people,
21:16but being 40,
21:17ideally,
21:18I'd love to settle down
21:19with the right person.
21:2040 and not leaving home.
21:24Yeah,
21:25I wonder if that is a concern.
21:29But some people just
21:31love their parents
21:32and it's just like
21:34a big community.
21:35All right,
21:37I might come back to her
21:38because
21:38that's a bit of a curveball.
21:41Anyway,
21:41Melinda and I,
21:42we're away.
21:43I like her style.
21:44She's got confidence,
21:45this lady,
21:46I can tell.
21:47Melinda,
21:47start a little bit of flirtation,
21:49but let's just bring it back
21:51to getting to know each other.
22:01Oh,
22:02my gosh.
22:03She has daughters.
22:05Any woman I've ever met
22:11or dated
22:12that has children
22:13is generally
22:14a really well-adjusted person
22:16and then nurturing
22:17and
22:19having a kind of
22:21a ready-made family
22:22to be part of
22:24is actually,
22:25at 50 years old
22:26with no children of your own,
22:27is actually a really
22:28nice prospect.
22:31I like Melinda
22:32very much.
22:35but I don't want to forget
22:36about Melissa,
22:38so I just want to get to know her
22:40as well.
22:42As Mike continues
22:44to get to know his matches,
22:46in Sydney,
22:47another single
22:48is ready to start the experience.
22:512, 0, 1, 3.
22:54Oh, my God!
22:57The crazy door!
22:59Yeah, love triangle,
23:00count they,
23:01Chloe, M.I.V.
23:02I'm Chloe,
23:05I'm 27,
23:06I'm a nurse manager
23:07from Sydney.
23:09I'm probably feeling
23:10a 9 out of 10
23:11nervous for the experience.
23:13I should have brought
23:13my stethoscope,
23:15listen to my own heart.
23:18I identify as bisexual,
23:20meaning I like
23:21both men
23:22and women,
23:23and I'm
23:24smack bang,
23:2650-50.
23:27I could go
23:28either way.
23:30Tell me about
23:31your past
23:33that in history.
23:34So,
23:37at the beginning
23:39of this year,
23:40I was engaged
23:42to be married
23:43to my female partner.
23:45We booked
23:46our wedding venue,
23:47we had our
23:47engagement party.
23:49For me,
23:50that was
23:50my happily ever after.
23:53And then a few
23:53short weeks later,
23:55I came home
23:56one afternoon
23:57and my partner
23:58told me
23:59that she didn't
24:00love me anymore
24:01and didn't feel
24:02excited
24:03at the idea
24:04of marrying me.
24:07And so,
24:07my world
24:08fell apart
24:09at that moment.
24:11Um,
24:12sorry.
24:17I'm good,
24:18I promise.
24:23But,
24:24since my relationship
24:26break down,
24:27I've been healing
24:27and I've been
24:29taking that journey
24:30to better myself.
24:33going into this,
24:44I don't actually
24:45want to know
24:46the gender
24:46of either of my suitors
24:48because it doesn't
24:49matter to me.
24:49I would prefer
24:52to make my decision
24:53based off
24:54pure connection.
24:55The person,
24:56it's how they treat me
24:57and how they make me feel.
24:59Okay,
25:00so we have,
25:00we have an E
25:01and we have a B.
25:03Searching for a real love
25:05regardless of gender,
25:06Chloe has been given
25:08only the first initial
25:09of her match's names.
25:11E,
25:12a 26-year-old
25:13from Wollongong
25:14and B,
25:16a 25-year-old
25:18from Western Sydney.
25:19Hi,
25:20I'm Chloe.
25:22I just wanted
25:23to let you know
25:25that I'm
25:27bisexual.
25:30I sent it.
25:35Now we wait.
25:44Like,
25:44this is such
25:45an intense
25:45first message
25:46but I just felt
25:47really strongly
25:48that it was important
25:49to get that across.
25:50I really,
25:51really hope
25:52I've not scared
25:53them both away.
25:58Oh gosh,
25:59okay.
26:01I've got the three dots
26:02from E.
26:03E.
26:03Okay.
26:07That's a really
26:08nice response.
26:09I'm actually
26:10really happy with that.
26:11That's really sweet.
26:13Are there
26:14any burning questions?
26:16Okay,
26:16so
26:16I am going
26:18to respond
26:19and say
26:20a machine
26:30operator
26:30and crane
26:31driver
26:31not to be
26:33at all
26:33generalistic
26:34but I do feel
26:35like that's
26:36a very
26:36masculine job
26:38so potentially
26:38we have a man
26:39on our hands
26:40here.
26:46Oh.
26:47Oh,
26:48it's B.
26:48okay,
26:55okay,
26:55B seems
26:57to be
26:58very open.
27:04Oh,
27:05probably
27:05has a good
27:06fashion sense.
27:07That's hot.
27:08I'm going to be
27:09going to be
27:10a good
27:11woman.
27:11I'm going to be
27:12a good
27:13woman.
27:13I'm going to be
27:13a good
27:14woman.
27:14I'm going to be
27:15a good
27:15woman.
27:16Wow,
27:17what a creative
27:19question.
27:21I'm feeling as though
27:23B is female.
27:25Just the nature of the texts
27:27as they're coming through,
27:29they're quite expressive
27:30and someone showing
27:32interest in me
27:33is really important
27:35and I think it's
27:36attractive.
27:37That is such a good
28:00answer.
28:02They have spent a lot
28:03of time improving
28:05themselves and I feel
28:06like that's what I've
28:08been doing a lot
28:08this year so I resonate
28:10closely with them
28:11in that sense.
28:14I'd love the next
28:15person to be my
28:16last two.
28:20Oh,
28:20I really love
28:21that answer.
28:23I've been through
28:24the worst heartbreak
28:26and I don't want
28:28to do that again.
28:29So I completely
28:30understand.
28:32So,
28:33yeah.
28:34I'm getting a really
28:37good vibe already
28:38and I feel like we're
28:41connecting on a lot
28:41of levels
28:42and I actually feel
28:49really excited.
28:51Bernie has been
29:06matched with Marissa
29:08from Sydney
29:08and Jasmine from
29:10Melbourne
29:11and this morning
29:12he's basking in the glow
29:14of a late night text
29:15exchange
29:16with one of his
29:18matches.
29:18Marissa asked me
29:20last night if I go
29:20to bed late
29:21and I said,
29:22yeah,
29:23I love staying up
29:23late.
29:24I said,
29:24there's a lot
29:24of time for
29:25activities.
29:26Don't even need
29:27many clothes either
29:28so it's quite
29:29convenient.
29:30She said she goes
29:31to sensual dance
29:32classes and
29:33obviously I was
29:34like,
29:34I'm going to need
29:34you to carefully
29:35explain with a
29:37lot of details
29:37what these sensual
29:38dance classes are.
29:40Both getting
29:41quite cheeky.
29:42If you catch
29:43my drifts.
29:48Alrighty.
29:49I just got one
29:49message come
29:50from Jasmine.
29:52Jasmine hasn't
29:52really given me
29:53much in general.
29:55I actually don't
29:55know much about
29:56her at all.
29:57So,
29:58no,
29:58I want to reply.
29:59I want to give
29:59her a chance.
30:00I need Jasmine
30:01to get off the
30:02sidelines,
30:02get into the
30:03field,
30:04win the game
30:04for the team.
30:05She needs to
30:05step it up.
30:13She doesn't
30:17spell your
30:18correctly.
30:21I don't know.
30:24I'm not sure
30:24about that.
30:25English is not
30:26my main language
30:27and I know how
30:27to use the
30:28language properly.
30:29It's so easy
30:30to get this right.
30:32I don't get it.
30:33I gave her a chance
30:34but like,
30:35I can't lie,
30:36it makes me cringe
30:37a little bit.
30:39Am I being picky?
30:41Maybe.
30:43In a world
30:45where even a
30:46spelling mistake
30:47can mean rejection,
30:49Bernie has decided
30:50to make his
30:51decision early.
31:03He has chosen
31:04Marissa to meet
31:06him for a date,
31:07after which
31:08they'll move in
31:09together.
31:10But the enormity
31:12of entering
31:13the experience
31:14with a woman
31:15he's never
31:16seen is
31:17starting to
31:18kick in.
31:26I'm feeling
31:27fucking anxious
31:28to be honest.
31:29You over text,
31:30everyone's very nice.
31:31Whereas on a date,
31:32it can go wrong
31:33really quickly.
31:34Okay,
31:35I'm now officially
31:36shaking.
31:37Let's go.
31:37I've never
31:39ever been on a date
31:40where I know
31:41absolutely nothing
31:43about what they
31:44look like.
31:48I'm low-key scared
31:49that I'm not going
31:50to be attracted
31:50to her.
31:53She walks in
31:53and I'm not
31:54attracted to her.
31:55I unfortunately
31:56don't think I'll
31:57be able to fake it.
31:585, 4, 3, 2, 1.
32:03Shitting a brick,
32:05as they say.
32:11Hi.
32:13How are you?
32:14You good?
32:15I'm good, how are you?
32:15So nice to see you.
32:16You're gorgeous.
32:17How are you?
32:18Oh, that's a bit of a relief,
32:19actually.
32:19I didn't know what to expect.
32:20Yeah, I've been a little
32:21freaked out.
32:22You look really good.
32:28You look really pretty.
32:31Hell yeah.
32:34First impressions of Marisa,
32:37attractive,
32:38good height,
32:39great hair,
32:40beautiful skin.
32:41I've made the right decision.
32:44Should I get a drink?
32:45Yeah.
32:46Yeah.
32:46Let's do it.
32:48He's hot shit.
32:50I feel like from
32:51those initial moments,
32:52we clearly had
32:53a bit of a vibe.
32:55What are we cheering to?
32:59To New Beginnings.
33:01So deep.
33:01You're so American.
33:02Rom-com, isn't it?
33:04Yeah, it is.
33:04This is a rom-com
33:05that we're starting in.
33:09What?
33:10Nothing.
33:11Nothing?
33:12You weren't thinking
33:12any single thing?
33:13No, you're pretty.
33:14Oh, thank you.
33:15Yeah.
33:16Do you want many
33:17first dates?
33:18Like, what's dating like?
33:19I prefer to meet
33:19people in person.
33:20I actually have
33:21no problem
33:21going up to a guy,
33:22so...
33:23Really?
33:24Alright, let's paint
33:25the picture, shall we?
33:25Yeah, yeah, yeah.
33:26Just imagine
33:27when I'm at a bar.
33:28I really like
33:29your sweater.
33:31Or maybe your eyes,
33:32actually.
33:33I might even go there
33:34as well.
33:35They're really nice.
33:36I like blue eyes.
33:36Thank you so much.
33:37So...
33:37I think the flirty
33:40banter we had in text
33:42has actually translated
33:43to in-person.
33:44On the first days,
33:46or, like,
33:47the first time
33:47that you kiss someone?
33:50Tongue or no tongue?
33:53Tongue?
33:54So good.
33:56Very good vibes.
33:57Great vibes.
33:58Hot vibes.
34:00Flirty vibes.
34:02Honestly,
34:03I forgot where we were
34:04and what we were doing.
34:05We were just
34:05back and forth,
34:06back and forth.
34:07Didn't have a single
34:08care in the world.
34:17On the Gold Coast,
34:23Mike is enjoying
34:24being anonymous
34:25as he texts
34:26both 40-year-old Melissa
34:28and 41-year-old Melinda.
34:36Even though
34:37I'm vibing
34:38with them both,
34:39Melissa is
34:41just a little bit
34:42more quiet
34:43and, you know,
34:45her living at home.
34:46Yeah, I guess
34:47maybe it's
34:47an orange flag.
34:53Whereas Melinda,
34:54she's got a good energy
34:55and she's confident.
34:59And I like
35:00that she's
35:01a mum.
35:02We've got
35:03a great connection.
35:08News revolution
35:08I set myself
35:09is to squash
35:10a watermelon
35:11between my thighs.
35:14Really?
35:16OK, so she must
35:18be muscular
35:19because it would
35:21take you more
35:22than a year
35:22to do that,
35:24but...
35:25There's a few
35:29watermelon crushes
35:30at my gym
35:31and I don't know
35:33that I'd want
35:33to date them.
35:37That's a question
35:37I never thought
35:39what I'd ask.
35:39Lots of bands
35:42and weight training.
35:44So this girl's
35:45pretty strong.
35:49But,
35:50OK.
35:53Do you know,
35:54how strong are we talking?
35:55We're talking
35:56watermelon crushing
35:57strong.
35:59So,
36:01between your thighs,
36:03wow,
36:08OK.
36:09I don't know
36:10what to make
36:10of that.
36:11Let me think
36:12about this.
36:12Just that
36:34watermelon crushing.
36:35The visual
36:39of the watermelon
36:40crushing,
36:40I think,
36:41was a...
36:42kind of rattled me
36:42a bit.
36:43I don't want
36:44to be the
36:45watermelon,
36:45basically.
36:46You know?
36:48With Melinda's
36:50unusual hobby
36:51playing on his mind,
36:53Mike must make
36:54a decision
36:55on who he wants
36:56to date.
36:58Fuck.
36:59All right.
37:00Melinda's
37:13really a fun
37:13person.
37:14And if Melinda
37:16wants to explode
37:17a watermelon
37:17between her thighs,
37:19hey, you know,
37:20who am I to judge?
37:21I just hope
37:22she's not a huge,
37:23muscly woman.
37:30I'm on my way
37:37to meet Melinda
37:38and I don't
37:40know what
37:41to expect.
37:46Fuck.
37:51I'm in this
37:52for the potential
37:54of something
37:55really special.
37:57So,
37:58I'm a bit
37:59nervous,
37:59actually.
38:00I don't know
38:03what Melinda
38:04looks like.
38:06Visualising
38:06a woman
38:07shattering
38:07a watermelon
38:08in her thighs
38:09is going
38:09through my head.
38:12Oh,
38:12Melinda,
38:13here we go.
38:18Hello.
38:19Are you
38:20Melinda?
38:21No.
38:24OK.
38:25You're not
38:25Melinda.
38:26All right,
38:26I thought you were
38:26going to walk
38:27straight at me.
38:29Sorry.
38:29That was awkward.
38:31That was awkward.
38:41And also,
38:42Melinda might recognise
38:43me from maths.
38:46And maybe she wasn't
38:48a fan of me.
38:49Maybe she was.
38:51But through the way,
38:52I'll put my best foot
38:53forward and hopefully
38:54she likes me.
38:55Hello.
39:06Hello.
39:08Michael.
39:11Hey.
39:11Hello.
39:12Hello.
39:13How are you?
39:14Nice to meet you.
39:15Good to meet you.
39:16How are you?
39:17I'm good.
39:18You're Melinda.
39:18I am.
39:19Nice to meet you.
39:20You look really nice.
39:21So do you.
39:24Yeah,
39:24Melinda's beautiful.
39:26She's, you know,
39:27just got a good energy.
39:28I can tell she's got
39:29a pretty smile.
39:30And I didn't expect
39:31her to be
39:32so attractive.
39:34All right,
39:35so do you want a drink?
39:36I would love one.
39:38All right,
39:38well,
39:38grab a seat over here.
39:41Michael,
39:42he's quite cute.
39:44He doesn't look
39:44his age at all.
39:45I was so worried
39:46that I was going
39:47to get matched
39:48with an old guy,
39:50an old boring man.
39:52So I am so relieved
39:53that that's not the case.
39:55Cheers,
39:56it's lovely to meet you.
39:57You're really lovely.
40:00It's such a relief
40:01to meet you now.
40:02I'm seriously,
40:03you've got no idea.
40:05The problem was
40:05is Mr. Watermelon.
40:06That threw me,
40:09to be honest.
40:11Here you are
40:12crushing watermelons.
40:12I mean,
40:13I can't even do that.
40:14I don't think I can.
40:14I can't do it either.
40:15I'm trying to do it.
40:18I figured,
40:19like,
40:19I'm just picturing
40:20the damn thing
40:21exploding
40:22and covering you
40:23in watermelon.
40:25You know,
40:27I thought,
40:28oh God,
40:28I thought you'd have
40:29huge legs
40:30and like big,
40:32like this.
40:32I actually did.
40:33I'm thinking,
40:33oh my God,
40:34I'm getting stitched up here.
40:36Oh,
40:37hang on.
40:38Ice cream!
40:39Do you want to get an ice cream?
40:39Yeah,
40:39let's get an ice cream.
40:41I think it's,
40:42it's going well so far,
40:44you know,
40:44but I'm feeling it nervous.
40:47I don't know
40:47that Melinda
40:48recognised me
40:49from maths.
40:51She didn't seem startle.
40:53There you go.
40:54Thank you so much.
40:55I'm just going to have to
40:56let the cat out of the bag
40:58and,
40:58because eventually
40:59she'll find out.
41:02I was going to ask you
41:03something.
41:03It's an odd question.
41:06Do I remind you of anyone?
41:08No.
41:10No?
41:13No.
41:13Really?
41:15Are you supposed to
41:16remind me of someone?
41:17Do I know you?
41:17I just thought I'd ask.
41:23No,
41:24you don't.
41:26That's good.
41:29Maybe she's keeping it for herself.
41:31Hard to know.
41:32Maybe because I've got a hat on.
41:34Maybe when I take the hat off,
41:35she'll be like,
41:35oh,
41:36there it is.
41:36It's the final day of texting
41:49for Chloe,
41:50who has found herself
41:52connecting with both
41:53content creator B
41:54and crane driver E.
41:58And in just a few hours,
42:01she will have to make a decision
42:02about who she wants to meet
42:04for a date.
42:06I have just been playing
42:08tennis in my mind
42:10for the past two days.
42:26Oh my God,
42:27he owns a house.
42:29I don't know why I said he.
42:31I'm still really sensing
42:33masculine energy here.
42:34And I just feel really aligned
42:36with E.
42:38Because previously,
42:39in all of my relationships,
42:40I have been the one
42:42to financially support my partners.
42:45But with B,
42:46I feel like we've connected
42:48on a really deep level.
42:52Which I think is so important.
42:56And so my heart is telling me one thing
42:58and my head is telling me another.
43:00But I have come to a decision.
43:07Hi, B.
43:08It's Chloe.
43:10I'm just sending you a voice note
43:12to see if you would like
43:13to join me on a date.
43:15I've had such a great couple of days
43:17talking to you
43:18and getting to know you
43:19and I really look forward
43:22to meeting you.
43:25Ooh.
43:25This is my first proper
43:46first date
43:48in three and a half years
43:50since I met my ex-partner.
43:52I'm really excited
43:56to meet B.
43:58I really like who B is
44:00as a person.
44:01I had green flag
44:03after green flag
44:04through text.
44:07Honestly,
44:08everything inside of me
44:09has crossed
44:09that this date
44:11just goes amazing.
44:12But I do feel
44:17that deep pit
44:19of fear.
44:22Feeling like
44:23I wasn't enough
44:25in my previous relationship
44:27is definitely
44:28weighing on my mind.
44:29I am so awkward.
44:45I'm going into a date
44:47with someone
44:47who
44:48I don't know their name.
44:50I don't know their gender.
44:55Is that B?
44:58Hey.
44:58Do you know
45:00the way to
45:01Central?
45:03Central Station?
45:04Yeah.
45:06No.
45:20Chloe.
45:22Hello.
45:23Hi.
45:23Chloe, do we meet you?
45:25Yeah, I'm B.
45:25Oh, it's so lovely.
45:28How are you?
45:29I'm good.
45:30So, Beck.
45:31Beck, nice to meet you.
45:32My middle name's Rebecca.
45:33No kidding.
45:34No.
45:34Oh, my God, get out.
45:35Hey, is it Rebecca?
45:36It's Rebecca.
45:36Oh, my God.
45:37Oh, my God.
45:38You're beautiful.
45:39So do you.
45:40I love your vibe.
45:41Thank you very much.
45:42We met you.
45:43Yeah, we are.
45:44Look at my.
45:44I feel so relieved and happy.
45:48Just absolutely beautiful.
45:50For sure that initial attraction is there.
45:54I'm getting what's called a STEM vibe from Beck, which is like a mix between a mask and a femme.
46:00That's my tie.
46:03Oh, it's so nice to meet you.
46:04Yeah, I know.
46:04Finally, it's been so, like, suspenseful.
46:06Am I what you expected?
46:07I'm not a man.
46:08Me, don't.
46:10I thought you were a woman.
46:12When I got the voice note, I thought, oh, you sounded very feminine.
46:15Yeah.
46:16Yeah.
46:16Do you like feminine girls?
46:19Different from what I'm used to, I normally go for quite masculine.
46:21Love.
46:23Love.
46:26Love.
46:27Love.
46:27Love.
46:27Love.
46:27Love.
46:27Love.
46:27Love.
46:27Love.
46:30Love.
46:32Normally, I go for quite a masculine kind of person.
46:34Darker features, dark hair, dark eyes.
46:38I've never had someone so quickly tell me that I'm not the usual type.
46:42But I love your vibe.
46:44No, thank you very much.
46:45I love yours.
46:46I definitely felt a stab in the gut.
46:50Did you have to travel today?
46:52A little bit, but not too far.
46:54I'm obviously not masculine.
46:55So I now have this, like, thought in my brain, like, oh, she's disappointed.
47:03She's not attracted to me.
47:05And if that's the case, then she's probably not really that open to seeing where things
47:10go, which is scary.
47:13All right.
47:13Well, let's go get some dinner.
47:14Yeah, let's.
47:14We're going to head this way.
47:15Okay, beautiful.
47:16Let's go.
47:17And I can't help but feel like, once again, I'm not good enough.
47:23I am definitely wondering if I've made the right decision.
47:28As Chloe is left contemplating whether she made the right choice with Beck, Mike is also
47:36doing some contemplating of his own.
47:39It seems like she has no idea who I am, which is great.
47:44But I was a bit surprised.
47:49Are you sure that I don't remind you of anyone?
47:56No?
47:57I just, I don't know.
47:58I just wondered if maybe I reminded you of someone.
48:07I'm totally unique.
48:09That's good.
48:14Okay.
48:15I have to tell you something.
48:19So a few years ago, I did a TV thing.
48:23I married at first sight.
48:25Oh.
48:26Do you watch that?
48:28Yeah, I've seen.
48:29I haven't seen no one at all.
48:30Okay, well.
48:31Sorry.
48:33That's good.
48:34I was getting really concerned because you're like, do I remind you of someone?
48:37I'm like, oh shit, do I know him?
48:40I was pretty quiet in there.
48:42I didn't, probably wouldn't have even noticed me had you watched it, you know, just sort
48:45of stayed below the radar.
48:47There's, there's total relief going through my mind right now.
48:53Melinda, she seems to have no issue with it.
48:56So that's good.
48:58So, I like your hair.
49:05Um, that was so awkward.
49:08I didn't recognise him.
49:09And to be honest with you, so far, the date has been very weird to me.
49:14I've got to suss out the energy a little bit more.
49:17I'm really organised, and I know that annoys people a lot.
49:21Uh-huh.
49:21Are you, are you organised?
49:23I am, yeah.
49:24Are you clean?
49:25Yes.
49:29And at the gym, I don't like my people.
49:32We'll, um, we'll load the weight.
49:35And not take them off.
49:36Can I be honest with you?
49:41I'm guilty of that.
49:42I must admit, and I've been pulled up on it.
49:44Why do you do, I never understood why people do that.
49:48It's, look, I don't do it so much anymore.
49:51This is like the funniest thing ever.
49:54Because I've always wondered why you people are arseholes and do that.
50:00You're a weight arsehole.
50:03Well, that's a bit strong.
50:06Sorry.
50:06But, yeah, I can see how you might feel that way.
50:10It's been a minute since I've done that in my defence.
50:13It's okay.
50:13I've gotten better.
50:14I've gotten better.
50:16God, you're pretty direct with you.
50:19Are there any criticisms there?
50:20I'm sorry.
50:22I'm sorry.
50:24You've got some sass.
50:25I mean, yeah, a little bit.
50:27I liked it that she had that confidence to kind of just throw out a, you know,
50:32a bit of casual insult and know that I would take it in good faith.
50:37Sometimes things will just slip out that I, like...
50:40You know what?
50:41Don't let them slip out.
50:42I do the same thing.
50:43Seriously.
50:44I'm not as sassy as you, I don't think.
50:46But I definitely do the thing where, you know, you say something and go,
50:50oh, immediately I shouldn't have said that, you know.
50:52That's exactly what it is.
50:57I'm liking that she's sort of acknowledged that she's a bit sassy.
51:01Oh, I think we're going to get along just great.
51:03I might have met my match here.
51:06And I was able just to explain from my past.
51:08And she just took it in her stride.
51:11Lovely to meet you.
51:15This is really lovely.
51:16And I think our energy matches each other, so that's important.
51:20But he's a bit different.
51:22And I want to know more about him.
51:24So I think maybe I need to, like, Google him.
51:27I'm going to do a bit of a maths deep dive.
51:38In Sydney, the connection Bernie and Marissa made on the phone
51:43has translated to real life.
51:47With sparks flying between the pair.
51:50I just wanted to see this angle of you as well.
51:53Like, maybe, you're trying to give me just one angle,
51:55and I was like, what's happening?
51:57What are you hiding over there?
51:58I don't know.
52:00I like your vibe.
52:02Which is?
52:03It's getting fun.
52:04It's getting cheeky.
52:06Look, living together might be a bit more fun than we anticipated.
52:09I don't know.
52:09I don't know.
52:10I'm just saying.
52:11I don't know.
52:12I'm just saying.
52:17Oh
52:47She's a great kisser ten out of ten ding ding ding
52:57Ten ten ten ten ten. Yeah, I did enjoy that
53:05I feel like I got really red
53:08I write his personality and we definitely have lots of sexual chemistry, but
53:14My concern with birdie right now is if he's got the maturity level that matches mine
53:22Who do you live with by yourself or with someone else?
53:27Why is this funny to you like with my ex?
53:31Cuz there's something I did not mention it in the text, so I am feeling kind of nervous
53:39Then that I've got to drop this bomb and it might just be a no
53:44I think it's time to tell you something
53:51You've got a kid
53:55Yeah, I do have a kid do you actually I do how old nine nine years old
54:06Okay, no fucking my your mom
54:10Yeah, sorry to drop it like that just felt like there was such limited time texting
54:20Yeah, but there wasn't the right opportunity
54:25I don't feel about dating a mom
54:28It's kind of like
54:30My insider at me during the weekdays. I obviously like to school drop-off and school pick up and then
54:36Sometimes we have sports
54:38I have every weekend
54:41Serious
54:43Responsibility
54:46To be honest in this situation normally I'd probably find an excuse to just you know move on to the next one
54:52But I don't want to do that
54:54I'm here for a reason focus from the way that you like chatting it was like you're quite youthful
54:59Like you seem quite youthful and you seem quite like
55:02Spontaneous open to life
55:04In general, you know, I mean, that's not what I would imagine
55:08Like someone that has a child would be like I don't think that I fit the typical I
55:13I guess stereotype, but I never want to I think I there are many different versions of Marissa and
55:21Mom Marissa is just one of them. Yeah, and that's healthy. That's really healthy. Yeah. Oh, it's gonna be a very interesting few weeks with you. Yeah
55:30first mom I've ever dated and
55:33I'm moving in with her
55:37Think what's in store now is gonna be a very
55:40Insane journey. I honestly couldn't tell you what's gonna happen. All right. See you
55:46But I'm coming into this to really challenge myself. It's like let's do it
55:55Next time on love triangle
55:59The next phase of the experience moving in together
56:04Hello, hello met her last night and I were ready to
56:08To share a house
56:10That's not crazy. That's normal. Mike's past comes back to haunt him. Yeah, I did a bit of a math steep dive
56:21And two new singles
56:23We are in the absolute trenches
56:27Enter the radical experience
56:30Hi
56:32Hey, how are you?
56:34Come on
56:36Hey, what's up?
56:37I'm
