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.
00:01:10That'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.
00:01:27I'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 massively good fate.
00:01:36And get stranded on Honeymoon Island.
00:01:39I 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...
00:02:17...without any distractions from the modern dating world.
00:02:21The cocoa roll.
00:02:24Oh!
00:02:24Do you want it harder?
00:02:25That's enough.
00:02:26I don't want it.
00:02:26That's enough.
00:02:27I don't want it.
00:02:27Bring me your higher love.
00:02:31Oh!
00:02:32Shut your eyes.
00:02:35Mmm.
00:02:37So good.
00:02:37For 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.
00:03:03How are you?
00:03:04Good, good.
00:03:05You look beautiful.
00:03:07Amazing.
00:03:12Happy?
00:03:13Yes.
00:03:13Good, good.
00:03:14Happy?
00:03:14Yes.
00:03:15And on their second day of married life,
00:03:18these two lovebirds are in no rush
00:03:20to take their relationship to the next level.
00:03:25You're going to put some sunscreen on me now?
00:03:27Yeah.
00:03:28No, we haven't had a little kiss yet.
00:03:30We're both just happy to, like, take it slow, even though we are married.
00:03:38So 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.
00:03:50So I'm happy to wait for a kiss.
00:03:50Damn.
00:03:52Do you ever own waterfront property?
00:03:56Do you ever own waterfront property?
00:04:01No.
00:04:02You haven't now?
00:04:02Yes.
00:04:04You haven't now?
00:04:04This is our first property together.
00:04:06We're homeowners.
00:04:06We'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.
00:04:28I've never really been in a serious relationship before, so it's been a huge step.
00:04:31And 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.
00:04:48Yeah.
00:04:49I met you yesterday, and that kind of is a lot for me.
00:04:53I really just don't want to f*** it all up by being an idiot.
00:04:57I'm with, like, the perfect guy.
00:05:00But as their second day stranded together comes to an end, Brie is starting to realise
00:05:06that 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.
00:05:16Where?
00:05:17I'm going to 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.
00:05:26He'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.
00:05:43Like, 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.
00:05:57Oh, 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 these are happy tears.
00:06:11I'm really excited about the time we're going to have.
00:06:18Definitely, I feel like I'm, like, the luckiest girl ever right now.
00:06:24I got lucky.
00:06:26I got lucky.
00:06:27I 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.
00:07:25I've never been called a misogynist in my life.
00:07:27That 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.
00:07:43I guess I've got a big personality, a big sense of humour, and I don't mean anything from a bad place.
00:07:50He'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.
00:08:02Some of that shit hurt my feelings.
00:08:04Yeah.
00:08:04And I felt real attacked.
00:08:06Misogyny is a big f***ing 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...
00:08:16Yeah, I mean...
00:08:16That's the feeling I've been getting.
00:08:18That's the vibe.
00:08:19And 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.
00:08:31I'm like, whoa.
00:08:33Nice.
00:08:34Oh.
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.
00:08:43I don't think I have to tap out for today.
00:08:45No, 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.
00:08:59Look, 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 to 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.
00:09:23Now, 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.
00:09:39A speed dating event with a twist.
00:09:42Let'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.
00:09:55Do you put your fries on the cheeseburger or you just go straight for the cheeseburger?
00:09:59No names or jobs were shared.
00:10:02And they were matched on their chemistry, compatibility and their ability to grow together.
00:10:08You're beautiful.
00:10:09Oh, good lord, is this dress?
00:10:11Oh, thank you.
00:10:13It's so cute, right?
00:10:14And one of our new brides can't wait to get to the island and heat things up.
00:10:19Number seven.
00:10:20Can I first wear your jacket for two minutes?
00:10:22Yeah, absolutely.
00:10:23Ask me a question while you do that.
00:10:25I'm freezing.
00:10:25All right.
00:10:26The question will be...
00:10:27Yeah, tell me.
00:10:29I don't know.
00:10:30What are you into?
00:10:31What do you do for fun?
00:10:33Ask me a question while you're undressing.
00:10:35Absolutely.
00:10:36Yeah.
00:10:37How cold are you on a scale of one to ten?
00:10:39I hate the cold.
00:10:41Okay.
00:10:41At the moment, my dating world is cobwebs.
00:10:47I can't say that.
00:10:51It's pretty dusty.
00:10:52If you try to kiss me, watch out quickly, I fall for you.
00:10:57I'm Jess.
00:10:58I'm 38.
00:10:59And 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
00:11:08start dating, then this tip is for you.
00:11:12Nighttime activities lead to nighttime activities.
00:11:15It's as simple as that.
00:11:16If you don't want to have sex, go to brunch.
00:11:20The 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.
00:11:34I chase chemistry.
00:11:36Chemistry feels amazing and it's exciting.
00:11:43There's a thrill that comes from chasing chemistry like fireworks, but it doesn't always pan out well.
00:11:54It does fade.
00:11:55Men 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, so I'm starting to think, when is it going to be my turn?
00:12:15Hello.
00:12:16Hi.
00:12:16How are you?
00:12:17I was born in Austria, so I was raised overseas.
00:12:20Austria?
00:12:20Yeah, so I speak fluent German, and I've traveled a lot all over the world.
00:12:24I love German.
00:12:25Well, I'll hopefully be able to teach you a little more than just that.
00:12:27I like that.
00:12:28I like that very much.
00:12:29On 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?
00:12:39Nice to meet you, 13.
00:12:41Nice to meet you, 9.
00:12:42Nice to do.
00:12:42My days are good.
00:12:45Are you an extrovert or introvert?
00:12:46I'm just going to guess.
00:12:47We're confident and caring.
00:12:48How are you caring?
00:12:49Tell me.
00:12:50Give me examples.
00:12:51Active listening, empathetic.
00:12:53I want to be your best friend and your lover.
00:12:56Okay.
00:12:56We've got 14.
00:12:59Big yes.
00:13:00So, yeah, huge yes.
00:13:02He speaks German, and he's my physical type.
00:13:079 is a bit naughty.
00:13:09He's gorgeous.
00:13:10A lot of confidence.
00:13:11A lot of charm.
00:13:13He said some of the right things.
00:13:14So, I'm going to say ding, dong, dang.
00:13:16You found me five husbands.
00:13:21Can I have a little 12?
00:13:23Of course.
00:13:24Beautiful.
00:13:25I've got some cheek.
00:13:27I reckon I've got some good chat, and 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?
00:13:35Why didn't I start with you?
00:13:36Holy.
00:13:36If all else fails, hopefully I've got a half-decent body.
00:13:41Goddamn, I know you love to make an entrance.
00:13:47Do you like getting paid or getting paid attention?
00:13:49You mix the wrong guys with the right intentions.
00:13:51And again.
00:13:55Good.
00:13:56Jeff.
00:13:56I 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.
00:14:11You know, I'd probably go out partying a little too much.
00:14:14That ended very close to around the time that my dad passed away.
00:14:18The 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...
00:14:34Till his last breath, my mum was with my dad.
00:14:43Imagine finding someone.
00:14:45I've got to hold your hand right up until the moment
00:14:48and really take your last breath.
00:14:50Undying.
00:14:52What else do you want?
00:15:01Today's the day that Sam will find out
00:15:03if the matchmakers have chosen someone
00:15:05he can create a meaningful bond with
00:15:08that will hopefully last a lifetime.
00:15:12I think the person that's about to meet me
00:15:14is going to fully meet the best version of myself.
00:15:18For a bit over three months now,
00:15:21I've been on a detox,
00:15:23no alcohol, no partying, no sex.
00:15:27I want to be as clear a mind as possible
00:15:29to meet the right person for me.
00:15:35Being stranded on Honeymoon Island,
00:15:37this really gives me the opportunity
00:15:39to dig deep with someone.
00:15:40No external factors,
00:15:42no technology,
00:15:44no social media,
00:15:45no friends,
00:15:45no opinions,
00:15:46just me
00:15:47and one other person.
00:15:50Hi.
00:16:02You look beautiful.
00:16:04You look gorgeous too.
00:16:08Welcome to our wedding.
00:16:12Hi, babe.
00:16:13Hi.
00:16:13Nice to see you.
00:16:14Nice to see you too.
00:16:16Are you all right?
00:16:17Can I give you a hug?
00:16:21You okay?
00:16:22Yeah.
00:16:22You got this together.
00:16:23Okay.
00:16:23All right?
00:16:24I remembered him straight away.
00:16:27There was chemistry.
00:16:28I did feel it.
00:16:29You feel calm?
00:16:30Yeah, I feel super comfortable with you.
00:16:33All the notes.
00:16:34I feel much calmer now after I've met him.
00:16:38And it was super comfortable straight away.
00:16:40So it's all tick, tick, tick.
00:16:42You look amazing.
00:16:45I'm really excited.
00:16:48I'm Sam.
00:16:49Jess.
00:16:50Nice to meet you, Sam.
00:16:51Lovely to meet you, Jess.
00:16:54I feel better now seeing you.
00:16:57I was definitely nervous, but she made me feel super calm.
00:17:01Yeah, I'm very much attracted to her.
00:17:03She's a beautiful lady.
00:17:04Yeah, let's get married.
00:17:09Hi.
00:17:09Hello.
00:17:10Ready to get married?
00:17:12I think so.
00:17:13I certainly am.
00:17:14Yep.
00:17:15Jess and Sam, I invite you both to share vows with one another, with an open heart and
00:17:23an open mind.
00:17:26Jess, I have yours.
00:17:28I have mine.
00:17:28Okay.
00:17:29Give it to me.
00:17:29Don't make me cry.
00:17:30Okay.
00:17:31Okay.
00:17:31It's quite comfortable for me to be single because my past relationships, whilst loving, have
00:17:40not worked in my favour.
00:17:41I've completely surrendered to the chemistry, but I still believe in love, and that hope remains
00:17:52firmly intact.
00:17:53And to me, a successful relationship and a marriage is fundamentally reliant on great communication
00:18:00and compatibility.
00:18:01I'm committed to understanding you, opening my heart to the possibility of love, and to embracing
00:18:09this experience with you, regardless of the many unknowns that lie before us.
00:18:13Jess, thank you.
00:18:14Jess, thank you.
00:18:14That was beautiful.
00:18:16You hear that was written from the heart.
00:18:18Thanks.
00:18:18Definitely.
00:18:20You don't say.
00:18:21Not chat GPT.
00:18:21No.
00:18:22It didn't just make it up.
00:18:25Well done.
00:18:25Thanks, Jess.
00:18:27All right.
00:18:30Jess.
00:18:32My parents taught me so much, not just about love, but also how to make a relationship
00:18:35work.
00:18:37They taught me to communicate, always.
00:18:40For 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, I journal, and I build healthy relationships with those around me.
00:19:00You 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 entertainer.
00:19:17Amazing.
00:19:19I love those.
00:19:21I'm glad.
00:19:29There certainly is a little bit of chemistry, especially now that I can see that he has
00:19:35a lot of depth, which I definitely need.
00:19:38So we've been well matched.
00:19:40I do.
00:19:41Goodness.
00:19:42Absolutely.
00:19:43I'm actually looking forward to spending three weeks on a deserted island with Sam.
00:19:47I do.
00:19:49Yes, I'm ready to give it a go.
00:19:50Let's go.
00:19:52I'm overjoyed to pronounce you husband and wife.
00:19:56Yay!
00:19:56You may seal the deal with a kiss.
00:19:58I'm here.
00:19:58I'm here.
00:20:06I'm married.
00:20:15Jess and Sam are now on their way to Honeymoon Island.
00:20:18There's obvious chemistry, but will it last for 21 days?
00:20:27Is that it?
00:20:27Oh, my God.
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?
00:20:40Will a deeper connection form, or will that chemistry burn out?
00:20:49Let's go, baby.
00:20:51Oh, my God.
00:20:56This is the wildest thing I've ever done in my life.
00:20:59But it's an experience that is once in a lifetime.
00:21:02Finding chemistry is easy, but falling in love is hard.
00:21:11I want a deeper connection.
00:21:12I want to find love, and I'm ready to go.
00:21:26Thousands of miles away from home.
00:21:29Oh, my God.
00:21:31Oh, my God.
00:21:32Two brave souls just took an epic leap of faith into a romantic adventure unlike any
00:21:41other.
00:21:43Straight up.
00:21:44Yeah, let's go.
00:21:45I think that's our spot, right?
00:21:46Jess and Sam are now stranded on Honeymoon Island, and this remote beach will be their home
00:21:54for the next 21 days.
00:21:56What is this?
00:21:57Oh, my God.
00:21:58Do we have a cake?
00:22:00Oh.
00:22:00Where they'll discover if living in total isolation with only each other for company will strengthen
00:22:09their initial bond.
00:22:11How wet did what?
00:22:13Oh, my God.
00:22:14There's a shower.
00:22:15This is gorgeous.
00:22:18How about the view?
00:22:19I know.
00:22:20Not bad, hey?
00:22:20We have our own private beach right on our doorstep, maybe 25 steps into crystal clear
00:22:31water.
00:22:33Welcome home.
00:22:33What should we call it?
00:22:34What should we call it?
00:22:35Al fresco paradiso?
00:22:36Oh, yeah.
00:22:37I'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 were matched together.
00:22:46Cheers to us.
00:22:50That's perfect.
00:22:51I feel like there's a bit of chemistry.
00:22:52There's a bit of a spark.
00:22:53Congratulations.
00:22:54Let's make this work.
00:22:55Nice to meet you.
00:22:56She's a beautiful woman and I'm really lucky.
00:22:58Like, this could be something special here.
00:23:00I think we're going to need to come up with a bit of a game plan.
00:23:01Yeah.
00:23:02I need to rinse these clothes.
00:23:03If we're going to have to make them work and last, you want this shirt, don't you?
00:23:18Yep.
00:23:19All right, let's go rinse everything off.
00:23:21Let's just take a bit of a lead on this.
00:23:23Being 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
00:23:52and checked to see if I needed anything else.
00:23:54It was really lovely.
00:23:55All right, let me give you some privacy.
00:23:58I haven't had many men in my life that have really done that for me
00:24:02and 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
00:24:14that are the most special and the most important.
00:24:18And they show you a lot about a person's character.
00:24:21Okay.
00:24:22Cool.
00:24:23All right.
00:24:24Yeah, I'm good.
00:24:25It's a really nice start.
00:24:26It makes me feel reassured.
00:24:28Back in civilisation, another bride is preparing to leave behind the comforts and distractions
00:24:47of home to marry a stranger and get herself stranded in the name of love.
00:24:54Okay.
00:24:55What is everyone getting?
00:24:56Cocktails.
00:24:57We're doing cocktails.
00:24:58I'm Emily.
00:24:59I'm 28.
00:25:00And I'm from Melbourne.
00:25:01I grew up down the surf coast, but yeah, I'm a city girl through and through now.
00:25:13See you at the bottom.
00:25:14People take one look at me and they're like, she's confident.
00:25:18She's out there.
00:25:19But deep down, not the case at all.
00:25:25I am not as confident as I come across.
00:25:26I've been single for seven years.
00:25:27I have tried the apps.
00:25:28I have tried being set up by friends.
00:25:29I got set up by my parents at one stage.
00:25:39I have tried speed dating.
00:25:42Nothing has worked for me.
00:25:44I'm constantly finding with these guys is the initial attraction is there.
00:25:49And then over time, it just, it fizzles and 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.
00:26:12I 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.
00:26:20I 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.
00:26:28No matter what I try and do, I always end up single and alone.
00:26:39Yeah.
00:26:40When I get ghosted, it's a really, it's a horrible feeling. So I'm so excited for this because we are forced to be together.
00:26:57You can't run away.
00:26:58I want him to get to know me and get to know who I am as a person.
00:27:03Hello.
00:27:04Nice to meet you.
00:27:05I'm a hugger as well.
00:27:06Oh, good.
00:27:07Nice to meet you.
00:27:08Lovely to meet you.
00:27:09I'm seeking an accent.
00:27:10Irish.
00:27:11You know what?
00:27:12My mom's always said she want to marry an Irishman.
00:27:13Really?
00:27:14Oh my God.
00:27:15I'm keen.
00:27:16This is perfect.
00:27:17Reviving.
00:27:18Reviving.
00:27:19We're aligned.
00:27:20Just gotta get married first.
00:27:21Reviving.
00:27:22He's Irish and I love an accent.
00:27:24Let's make some notes here.
00:27:25Double tick.
00:27:26Yes.
00:27:27Irish.
00:27:28What I'm looking for is just someone who is tall, you know, dark hair, dark features and really down to earth.
00:27:37And a real genuine guy who actually wants this as much as I do.
00:27:40Hey.
00:27:41Hello.
00:27:42Five.
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 gonna start off with a big one.
00:27:50Yeah, give it to me.
00:27:51Describe me your perfect day from 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, then straight into coffee.
00:28:05Love coffee, so.
00:28:06Yeah.
00:28:07I'd say number five was in the top for sure.
00:28:09His answer was amazing.
00:28:11I was like, you started off with Morning Glory, and that's a great way to start your day,
00:28:16mate.
00:28:17And he's just beautiful to look at, so.
00:28:19I wouldn't mind looking at that every day.
00:28:25I'm Tom, I'm 29, and I work as a business analyst.
00:28:29I like your, I like your matching like suit, it's cute.
00:28:33So Tom, how much attention do you get from the opposite sex?
00:28:38How do I answer this without sounding like a douchebag?
00:28:40Well, you're a bit cute.
00:28:41You've got someone else's makeup, I'll just help you though.
00:28:43Oh, great.
00:28:44It's so fine.
00:28:45Was that yours?
00:28:46No.
00:28:47I'd say I haven't really struggled when it comes to meeting women.
00:28:51Hobbies, I like guitar, that's high.
00:28:53But, you know, I haven't really been able to find a meaningful connection with anyone.
00:29:00And why are you still single?
00:29:02What would your ex-girlfriend say?
00:29:03Um, she'd say because she didn't want to be with me.
00:29:06Hi.
00:29:07Come on.
00:29:11It's hard for me to kind of let people in and let my guard down.
00:29:16I think potentially because of my previous relationship.
00:29:19I was dating someone for quite a few years and, and thought that that would be the person
00:29:24that I'd spend the rest of my life with.
00:29:26But, um, it didn't end up that way.
00:29:28And, and I found out later on that she was seeing her ex-boyfriend.
00:29:32So, that's, it was a big hit to the gut.
00:29:36I mean, yeah, the, the only way to describe that moment when we broke up is just, yeah,
00:29:43heartbroken.
00:29:48I think I've processed the end of that relationship, but there's still wounds there that I haven't
00:29:53quite 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, it's, yeah, it's hard for me to open up.
00:30:07Being 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 humor.
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.
00:30:31So, the fact that I am here feels incredible.
00:30:35Oh, wow.
00:30:36I love this.
00:30:37This is beautiful.
00:30:38I feel like a princess.
00:30:40Just how I wanted to feel on my wedding day.
00:30:41I think it's the first time I've ever looked at myself and thought, all right, I'm gorgeous.
00:30:56Like, any man would be happy to have this.
00:31:00And lucky to have this.
00:31:01So, I'm obsessed.
00:31:04I'm not the most confident person.
00:31:07So, to be sitting here loving myself, I'm like, finally.
00:31:11I hope my husband loves me just as much as I do right now.
00:31:17What I'm looking for is just someone who can just love every little weird bit about me and
00:31:26every little curve that I might have and every weird snort that I do when I laugh.
00:31:30I 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?
00:31:48I would be devastated if this was another big rejection for me.
00:32:15And 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.
00:32:43Hello.
00:32:44Hello.
00:32:45How are you doing?
00:32:47How are you doing?
00:32:48Good to see you.
00:32:50Are you as nervous as I am?
00:32:52Terrified.
00:32:53Okay, good.
00:32:55What's your name?
00:32:56Emily.
00:32:57Emily.
00:32:58Tom.
00:32:59Nice to meet you.
00:33:00Nice to meet you.
00:33:01You look amazing.
00:33:02You look very handsome yourself.
00:33:04Thank you very much.
00:33:06He's beautiful.
00:33:08He was 100% the guy I wanted to see at the end of the altar.
00:33:12He's got the most beautiful eyes.
00:33:13I have a big thing for blue eyes.
00:33:15So, yeah, he's gorgeous.
00:33:17Are 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 and I hope he's feeling the same.
00:33:27Hello.
00:33:28Ready to get married?
00:33:29Yep.
00:33:30Yeah.
00:33:31Let's do it.
00:33:32Today you will not only exchange rings and vows, but I also promise to embark on this
00:33:44journey with an open heart and an open mind.
00:33:48I invite you both to share your vows with one another.
00:33:52Tom, your vows.
00:33:53Stranger.
00:33:58When I signed up for this experience, I had no idea I'd be standing here with you today
00:34:04about to marry a 10 out of 10 drop-dead gorgeous stunner.
00:34:08I promise to be your co-captain in this castaway cosplay.
00:34:12Even if you haven't showered for days, I will share a bed with you and always keep
00:34:17the fire going.
00:34:18So let's embrace the insanity and turn this unlikely love story into something to remember.
00:34:23So beautiful.
00:34:24You did well.
00:34:25Emily, I have your vows here.
00:34:26Amazing.
00:34:27To my new husband.
00:34:28The journey of love for me has been far from easy.
00:34:29And after countless failed attempts at finding love, I've at times lost hope in finding the
00:34:45man of my dreams.
00:34:46For years, I've lost confidence in myself.
00:34:50I've tried my hardest at being the perfect partner, moulded myself into the girl I think
00:34:55people want, just 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.
00:35:14One time.
00:35:16Yeah.
00:35:17That was really good.
00:35:18Now we get to do the exchanging of rings.
00:35:22Emily, what are you thinking of, Em?
00:35:27A lot of emotions, I guess.
00:35:29Um, yeah.
00:35:30So, yeah, I think, um, for me, there has to be a spark from the very start.
00:35:39I 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.
00:35:59You may seal the deal with a kiss.
00:36:11There's nothing, nothing there.
00:36:15Amazing.
00:36:16Kiss was very good.
00:36:18Tom went in for the full French kiss.
00:36:20Let's go.
00:36:21I wasn't going to argue it.
00:36:22I was like, I'm here for it.
00:36:23My husband's hot.
00:36:24I'm going to let it happen.
00:36:30I'll let you jump on first.
00:36:32He is honestly hot out of 10.
00:36:35I have 100% won the lottery with Tom.
00:36:38Here we go.
00:36:41That was like, dream guy, dream wedding.
00:36:43I loved it.
00:36:45Let's go live on an island now.
00:36:53Tom might not be feeling the spark, but there's no turning back now.
00:36:57Okay.
00:36:58I'm kind of freaking out now.
00:37:02When I'm dating and when I meet someone.
00:37:08What a great start.
00:37:09If I don't feel like there's that spark or something doesn't click or feel right,
00:37:13it usually takes me a long time to open up to someone.
00:37:31But I'm about to be stranded on an island with this girl.
00:37:34So to give this relationship the best chance of succeeding,
00:37:38I 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.
00:37:52But I'm packing it right now for sure.
00:38:04After walking down the aisle just hours ago, relationship coach Jess and personal trainer Sam
00:38:15are getting better acquainted in their new island home.
00:38:19What are you doing for work?
00:38:23Try to keep it in.
00:38:25I'm a writer and a dating and relationship coach.
00:38:31You are not.
00:38:32You are not.
00:38:33Are you going to give us advice?
00:38:34Are 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.
00:38:47I'll be vulnerable and say I feel a bit of a connection.
00:38:50So, yeah.
00:38:51Me too.
00:38:52I'm happy.
00:38:57While Jess and Sam get settled into island life.
00:39:03One more brand new couple are about to take the plunge and marry someone they've only met once before.
00:39:15I 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.
00:39:31I'm 34 years old.
00:39:32I'm a musician and a music producer.
00:39:33And I live on the Gold Coast.
00:39:34I play in a band which plays alternative rock and roll.
00:39:35I've worked with Matt Corby, The Kid Leroy, Jessica Mowboy.
00:39:36My goal is to be as big as Pharrell Williams.
00:39:38I am so ambitious and really want to chase my dream.
00:39:41But my music career has just consumed my life and hasn't allowed me to really have a relationship.
00:39:48my goal is to be as big as Pharrell Williams I am so ambitious and really
00:40:01want to chase my dream but my music career has consumed my life and hasn't
00:40:06allowed me to really have a relationship I've realized we all care
00:40:14about things that don't really matter I've just allowed myself to fall into this
00:40:18trap of work work work I want to get stranded because I need work to
00:40:24disappear so I can really focus on a relationship I've neglected really
00:40:31finding my life partner which is just as important as my job maybe more important
00:40:37to be honest because you retire at some stage don't you but you don't retire
00:40:42a relationship that's forever in my eyes
00:40:48do you think you're a catch I think I'm a catch I think I'm a catch I'm caring I'm

00:41:52bit of banter yeah gotta be able to hold the pants I love it yeah yeah gotta have the pants

00:42:39talking long sleeve fisherman shirts like three quarter board shorts reflective sunnies like it's
00:42:46oh mullets with three kids and they can't you know pull a sentence together I can't deal
00:42:52I think I need a change please just a little empty space to find myself I moved to Magnetic Island
00:43:04because I was working in Sydney in a corporate job classic nine to five slaving away at my desk
00:43:09living the dream and I was miserable cheers my love so nice to see you Magnetic Island was the best
00:43:18move ever because it's just this alternate universe where everything's really slow paced it's like no
00:43:24bra no shoes no one can I swear yeah no one gives a shit what you do for a living and it's very chill
00:43:31but I'm at a stage now where I'm starting to think about okay what does my future look like
00:43:39every now and again I'll like catch myself walking through a shopping center and see a mom with like
00:43:44a new baby and think oh that'll be me soon I've done my whole life alone for so long now and I just
00:43:54want to find someone to settle down with I don't want to be single forever I think it's inevitable that

00:48:51you ready?
00:48:52no
00:48:53we need to not only survive but get to know each other and hopefully build a strong bond that you know goes beyond this island
00:49:00all right let's do this
00:49:02ready set go
00:49:03go
00:49:04scary and exciting but I'm ready just to throw myself into the deep end to find my life partner
00:49:09it's the first night on honeymoon island for our three new couples and now the adventure can begin
00:49:22I feel really lucky that I got you
00:49:29really?
00:49:30yeah
00:49:31I got you
00:49:32really?
00:49:33yeah
00:49:34marrying a stranger was the easy part
00:49:39we cannot find matches to light a simple fire
00:49:43it has to be here
00:49:44do you see a flint?
00:49:46maybe there's a flint
00:49:47what's a flint?
00:49:48uh...
00:49:50I don't actually know what it is
00:49:53so batten down the hatches and hold on tight
00:49:57cause this experience is about to blow them away
00:50:01holy shit
00:50:03this is insane
00:50:05oh my god
00:50:07oh my god
00:50:08oh my god
00:50:11this is for real
00:50:12we're screwed
00:50:13we're screwed
00:50:23as the sun rises over the south pacific
00:50:26all 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
00:50:44I think he's upset
00:50:47I don't think there'll be much chitchat today
00:50:51we'll probably stay to our separate corners of the camp
00:50:56but I now feel like everything that's been bubbling up inside me is out
00:51:03and I feel like we can really start on working from a fresh slate tomorrow
00:51:08I don't want there to be this rift between us
00:51:13he is my partner in this
00:51:15and at the end of the day we really only have each other here
00:51:19I hope that we can move forward from this
00:51:22I guess we'll just see
00:51:29how's that?
00:51:30I'm wearing beach shorts
00:51:32since being married
00:51:37flight attendant Georgia and 46 year old bachelor Chad
00:51:41are yet to have their first kiss
00:51:44we feel like we're in a little bubble
00:51:46we're in a bubble
00:51:47a little honeymoon bubble
00:51:49we do want to take things slow
00:51:51I'm feeling like the chemistry is definitely there
00:51:54and I'm very attracted to Chad
00:51:57like mentally and physically
00:52:00of course it's hard to take it slow
00:52:03you look good
00:52:04you like that?
00:52:05I do
00:52:06it's always scary getting new feelings for someone
00:52:19but I always say no risk no reward
00:52:23it just felt right
00:52:25so yeah it was so nice
00:52:28as you can see by the grin on my face
00:52:31can't wait for the smile off
00:52:40it was worth the wait
00:52:48like some firewood
00:52:53commitment foe Bree is starting to warm up to island life
00:52:56with laid back sparky Byron
00:52:59let's cut them up
00:53:00alright am I doing it?
00:53:02yeah
00:53:03don't you wind up
00:53:04why?
00:53:07I think she's doing really well
00:53:08considering she's never had an experience
00:53:11like this before
00:53:12of like camping and being outdoors
00:53:14what are we going to do with the other half of the pants?
00:53:16that's the question
00:53:17then you add being married to a random
00:53:20yeah it's pretty overwhelming but
00:53:23alright let's try it on
00:53:25she's keeping the entertainment there
00:53:27and a bit of creativity
00:53:29which 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
00:53:37Bree likes me
00:53:38and I really like Bree too
00:53:39you know so
00:53:41if we didn't like each other
00:53:42we wouldn't be this happy
00:53:44and enjoying everyday
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
00:53:53our brand new couples
00:53:55are still adjusting to living in the elements
00:53:59that wind last night
00:54:01like it was moving the bed
00:54:03with both of us on it
00:54:05how did you sleep?
00:54:07i don't think i actually slept
00:54:08but relationship coach Jess and personal trainer Sam
00:54:14are too besotted to notice
00:54:19give it a water break
00:54:21the night in the honeymoon suite was
00:54:23very relaxed, very chill
00:54:25nothing risque to report
00:54:26the physical chemistry
00:54:29romantic spark is still there
00:54:32hello
00:54:33yes it's Jessica in al fresco paradiso
00:54:37yes i'd like a double shot oatmeal latte
00:54:41is that right? with honey?
00:54:43i'm the kind of person that will wake up
00:54:45everyday and go to bed
00:54:47every night and be like hey do you still like me?
00:54:49because i need that kind of reassurance
00:54:51but at the moment i still think it's there organically
00:54:55which is amazing
00:54:57thank you very much
00:54:58catch up
00:54:59see you soon
00:55:00thank you
00:55:03while Jess still fills the chemistry with new hubby Sam
00:55:07on Emily and Tom's island
00:55:10there's no fire
00:55:12and for Tom
00:55:14there's no spark
00:55:16so today i will cut your dress down
00:55:17so you can actually walk around
00:55:20the fire is a priority as well
00:55:22yeah i think waking up this morning
00:55:24it's kind of all hit me
00:55:26of exactly
00:55:28what i've got myself into
00:55:30i 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
00:55:39at the moment
00:55:41in the past i'd say if i didn't see that spark with someone
00:55:45or you know i guess sometimes you might get the ick or something like that
00:55:50i would usually cut things off
00:55:51maybe even ghost
00:55:53ghost someone
00:55:55but being on an island and stranded with her
00:55:59it's going to be a lot tougher than what i imagined going into this
00:56:03i can move
00:56:05i don't think she really knows how i'm feeling
00:56:08it's just an awkward situation
00:56:11actually doesn't look too bad
00:56:13i feel the need to run away from Emily
00:56:17but i can't
00:56:19i'll do a catwalk later
00:56:21there 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
00:56:33of maybe flirting a little bit more
00:56:36and see where that leads us
00:56:38and 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
00:56:51but you know we'll work that out later
00:56:53handcuffs
00:56:55i also feel like he is holding back a little bit
00:56:59i would love to break down his walls
00:57:02and 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

00:58:58it is hard?
00:58:59yup

00:59:10it is a mental timer at this point
00:59:13i expect you to be counting down

00:59:20i am done
00:59:24alright so my debts paid?
00:59:26yup
00:59:27i am starting to realise that
00:59:30yeah he is distant with me
00:59:32if he is not interested then that is fine
00:59:36but i also would prefer him to tell me that
00:59:40so i am not trying to put in all this effort again
00:59:44and get little in return
00:59:46after being single for 7 years
00:59:50i am so scared of getting hurt again
00:59:53and if this isn't to work out i don't want to have my heart broken once again
00:59:58show i make jorts?
01:00:02yes

01:00:21For Danny and Emmanuel,
01:00:23getting married and stranded on Honeymoon Island
01:00:26hasn't exactly been smooth sailing.
01:00:29High knees.
01:00:30Not only did Emmanuel not recognise his new wife at the altar,
01:00:36Gayle Forcewinds last night
01:00:38prevented them from getting acquainted.
01:00:41What would you like on the menu, Dahl?
01:00:42A bit of shakshuka?
01:00:44No 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 hustle and bustle 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.
01:01:45First day was really nice.
01:01:49We are both in Queensland, running away from our city fears.
01:01:55We have a very similar outlook on life.
01:01:58And I'm starting to realise why we've been stranded on 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, I love that.
01:02:10And 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.
01:02:14We share the same values and it's a good energy and the conversation and vibes are flowing.
01:02:23I'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
01:02:47chemistry and are now in marital bliss.
01:02:51It looks pretty good.
01:02:51But 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.
01:03:03Lots of love.
01:03:04Lots of touching.
01:03:05Give me a high five or a hug.
01:03:08I'm doing 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.
01:03:27It's got me.
01:03:28Yeah.
01:03:28I've got to be careful not to fall into that trap.
01:03:34I 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.
01:03:48Like, endorphins are starting to go.
01:03:49Dopamine is starting to go.
01:03:51Serotonin is 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.
01:04:00But with what I've been doing over the last four months, three and a half, whatever, you
01:04:06know, I'm able to look at things much more level-headedly.
01:04:08I'm like, for this to seriously work, it's going to be slow.
01:04:16It's just because, you know.
01:04:20Yeah.
01:04:23I'm really grateful I've got you and I'm glad we can have these conversations.
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.
01:04:51It feels like Sam is losing interest.
01:04:55You do what you need to do.
01:04:59I just want to try and do this right.
01:05:05I had so much hope that this experience would be different for me.
01:05:11So, 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.
01:05:34Water 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?
01:06:00...is the first of many that will arrive throughout their time on Honeymoon Island.
01:06:05Great!
01:06:06Finally!
01:06:07Something's landed on our island.
01:06:08They'll contain surprises, challenges and tests
01:06:12to accelerate their bond and push their relationships forward.
01:06:17Oh!
01:06:17All right, let's go.
01:06:19This is exciting.
01:06:21Ready?
01:06:22Three, two, one.
01:06:25Oh, my God.
01:06:26Okay.
01:06:28Ha, ha, ha!
01:06:29Yay!
01:06:30Oh, my God!
01:06:32Today's crate celebrates our couple's nuptials...
01:06:36Wow.
01:06:37That's cute.
01:06:38Look at us.
01:06:39...and brings a message from home.
01:06:41What have we got here?
01:06:43...kind words of wisdom and support...
01:06:46Haven't seen one of those in a while.
01:06:48I know, right?
01:06:48Technology.
01:06:49What have we got here?
01:06:50For 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.
01:06:58Meow.
01:06:59She's never been the sort of person to follow the crowd.
01:07:03I'm so happy that she's taken this risk in trying to find love.
01:07:07Oh, I love her so much.
01:07:11Ooh.
01:07:12Hi, Manuel.
01:07:13That'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
01:07:22of being loved no matter the situation.
01:07:25She's beautiful.
01:07:28Other messages will contain reminders as to why they've committed to 21 days of isolation.
01:07:35No, 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.
01:07:44I would love to break down his walls and get to more the nitty-gritty of why he's pulling
01:07:49away a little bit.
01:07:50Understand who he is as a person.
01:07:52Well, Thomas Brown, how did we end up here?
01:07:56Yeah, that's my brother-in-law.
01:07:58You're on an island and you're married.
01:08:00Something 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.
01:08:12And 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.
01:08:18You've got so much to offer.
01:08:22You're a tremendous bloke.
01:08:23And the girls tell me that you're not too bad on the IE either, so that's probably a
01:08:26good thing.
01:08:28We're all so proud of you, mate.
01:08:29And all the best.
01:08:31That's funny.
01:08:34Do you want to tell me about your ex?
01:08:42There's a time in my life where I found someone that, yeah, I thought was going to be the
01:08:47person that I'd marry and spend the rest of my life with, but yeah, it just didn't work
01:08:51out.
01:08:55She kind of ended things like kind of out of the blue.
01:08:59And I think that's probably why I've struggled dating after that.
01:09:05I think I've been looking for that same kind of connection that I had with her.
01:09:17Do you feel that, you know, you're not completely over her in that case?
01:09:24After hearing about Tom's past relationship, Emily is desperately trying to find out why
01:09:45he's pulling away from her.
01:09:47There's a time in my life where I found someone that, yeah, I thought was going to be the person
01:09:51that I'd marry and spend the rest of my life with, but yeah, it just didn't work out.
01:10:00Do you feel that, you know, you're not completely over her in that case?
01:10:04I'm completely over her, but there's a slight fear of getting in a situation where, you know,
01:10:17I 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.
01:10:38So I don't have a chance to, you know, to have that rejection.
01:10:41Have you always been the one to break things off?
01:11:01I probably have been the one to end things, I think.
01:11:06So I'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.
01:11:17So 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?
01:11:32Um, no, I wouldn't say I'd tell them lies.
01:11:37Um, or maybe a white lie.
01:11:42Um.
01:11:44This whole situation is really triggering.
01:11:46I've been lied to in the past and I'm constantly getting ghosted.
01:11:51His 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.
01:12:00But 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.
01:12:21Do 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?
01:12:30Yeah, 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.
01:12:50In 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.
01:13:12Great.
01:13:12So 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.
01:13:41So 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.
01:14:02And it's been a tough ride for all of us.
01:14:07I 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, but, you know, I'm his mum.
01:14:20Relationships are not easy
01:14:23and 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. Bye.
01:14:40Love you, mum.
01:14:41She's wise.
01:14:41Seeing him get emotional about the message from his mum
01:14:53was really touching.
01:14:55Need a minute?
01:14:57I'll be right.
01:15:02We've just been through, like...
01:15:04We've been through so much, like, as a family.
01:15:07And, um...
01:15:11We've just both been each other's rocks, like, so many times.
01:15:14And, um...
01:15:16I think my mum...
01:15:18She's really ready to see me just be, like, really happy.
01:15:21Yeah.
01:15:22Sam 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... It'd mean...
01:15:34It'd mean a lot to be able to find the one.
01:15:37Yeah.
01:15:37Yeah.
01:15:39I don't think he's lost interest in me.
01:15:41He's just going through a lot.
01:15:44I just need to remember why I'm here.
01:15:48You okay?
01:15:49Yeah.
01:15:50I know from my past experiences that chemistry fades
01:15:55and I came here to build a strong foundation with somebody.
01:16:00All right.
01:16:00So, I'll go as slow as I need to.
01:16:13Across all six islands, the experience is underway.
01:16:18Nature's dishwasher.
01:16:20Oh, yeah.
01:16:20Motorsport 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.
01:16:36Easy.
01:16:37For days.
01:16:38For now.
01:16:39Because the day has one last surprise.
01:16:44Oi.
01:16:45Yeah?
01:16:46We've got enough something.
01:16:48Oh, my God.
01:16:49What the hell's that?
01:16:52Well...
01:16:54Did you put that there?
01:16:55No.
01:16:56Oh, my God.
01:16:57Oh, my God.
01:16:58That means to wash the shore.
01:17:00I see the bottle and I was like, oh, here we go.

01:17:06What is it?
01:17:07What is that?
01:17:09Another container.
01:17:10I didn't even see it.
01:17:11Another container.
01:17:13It's a message in a bottle.
