00:00Apart from their spouses...
00:02We don't know what forever looks like,
00:04so I can't just up and leave.
00:06...exposed fears for the future.
00:08For me, it shouldn't be this hard.
00:10But it was the return of familiar faces...
00:13She's back!
00:15...that brought new betrayals.
00:17Is that iron toad?
00:19Do you want to replace me?
00:20Show the receipt then!
00:22Now it looks like you're f***ing iron!
00:24Do you know what's happened?
00:26Go on.
00:27Have you slept with Jo?
00:29Yeah.
00:30And now you're after Steven as well?
00:32Are you all right?
00:33I'm giving both an apology.
00:35Your behaviour?
00:36Disgusting.
00:37It's dawn.
00:38There's no defending you.
00:42Tonight...
00:43Final dinner party, guys!
00:45...the couples come together one last time.
00:48Wow.
00:49But it's Lee's actions...
00:50If I kissed Lisa, you would have lost your head.
00:52That's double standard.
00:54...that sends her marriage into meltdown.
00:56If this were to happen with you,
00:58it would be very different.
00:59If it happens with you, it's not.
01:00Why would you kiss her back?
01:01That's what I'm not getting.
01:02He's arguing at me like a f***ing lawyer.
01:04Confidation's done.
01:05Confidation's taken root.
01:07And as the experiment nears its climax...
01:11I'm worried that I'm not going to be enough for you.
01:14Shocking confessions threaten to tear it all apart.
01:17Do you think your feelings will change when we leave the experiment?
01:20Um...
01:21I'm worried we might lose our passion and everything that we do have.
01:25No reassurance whatsoever.
01:27Devastating answer.
01:28While hard truths...
01:30Do you think I've been respectful in this marriage?
01:32No.
01:33Throw Leah's behaviour into the spotlight.
01:36Leon, in Lee's defence, you're a flirty person.
01:38Come on, Bailey.
01:39She goes, I'll sleep with her, I'll shag her, I'll turn her.
01:42If I said I would shag Leah, you wouldn't be happy.
01:45Do I feel disrespected in those moments? Yes, I do.
01:47F*** me.
01:48I'm done arguing.
01:49I'm done trying to defend myself.
01:51It's ridiculous.
01:59Morning.
02:00Morning, babe. You okay?
02:01Yeah, good.
02:02It's morning at the apartments.
02:04I feel like I've got a bit of FOMO.
02:05What, from last night?
02:06Yeah.
02:07The girls' day sounds juicy.
02:08I don't think you want to be there, to be honest.
02:11And some of the couples are reflecting on the events of yesterday.
02:14How was your boys' day out?
02:16Boys' day out was good.
02:18I had a lovely day, to be honest.
02:20Okay.
02:21I guess there is more to tell.
02:23So, basically, what happened is...
02:25Julia Ruth slides into Jo's DMs.
02:27She's like, oh, I'm going to Lancelot for ten days.
02:29And she's like, oh, maybe I should come.
02:31So, out she flies for 48 hours.
02:33Only 48 hours.
02:34Joan Lanzarote.
02:36And then completely airs her out.
02:38Just ignores her.
02:40So, then, she asks Stephen on a date,
02:42because she's like, wow, husband number three's a charm.
02:44So...
02:45We asked to see his phone, and he denied it.
02:47I'm actually shooketh that Stephen would lie.
02:49He's not known for his lies.
02:50I know.
02:51Mm-mm.
02:56Going into the last dinner party today is a wild thought.
03:00Madness, isn't it?
03:01It feels like we've blinked, and it's happened.
03:03I know.
03:04It's like that.
03:05Yeah.
03:06So many little things we've done together.
03:07That has all just gone like that.
03:08And we're about to walk in on the final day,
03:10and then the next day, we're out of here.
03:12Mm.
03:13Into the real world.
03:14Yeah.
03:15The big, bad world.
03:16Are you ready?
03:17Mad.
03:18No, I'm not ready for it to end.
03:19I'm not.
03:20I'm not ready to leave here, and to not have this as our little home,
03:23and our life together, and I'm not ready for it to end, honestly.
03:26I'm panicking about what is next.
03:30Bailey and I have some really big decisions to make
03:33when it comes to the distance and where we'll live.
03:36I think it's scary, and I'm sort of burying my head in the sand
03:40that these next few days without him aren't coming,
03:43but it's something that eventually we're going to have to face.
03:46There's so much for me to think about.
03:53I feel a bit deflated this morning.
03:55Last night, I got told by Alicia,
03:58oh, by the way, I kissed your wife.
04:00I think you are going to leave.
04:02I do.
04:03Do you?
04:04The action.
04:05Aw, come here.
04:07I love it.
04:08Do you want to kiss me? Is that what you was trying to do?
04:10I was trying to, but it wasn't how it was.
04:12Go again.
04:15You see?
04:16Yeah.
04:18That's why I'm actually really pissed off with her.
04:20Lee's had a thing with Alicia and I saying that
04:23she's flirted with me, I've flirted with her.
04:25The piss take is she made such a hoo-ha about this with me.
04:29Fuck me, I wasn't kissing her on the lips though.
04:34Hello.
04:35We met a new couple today.
04:36What? Where?
04:37When Alicia joined the experiment...
04:39She's brunette.
04:40Blue eyes.
04:41Yeah.
04:42Oh, of course you'll notice.
04:43They're hot.
04:45Lee took issue with Leah's comments about her.
04:48You've got another one of your type, the opposite ass this week.
04:51Yes, she's brunette and goes to gym.
04:53Leah, you'll be coupled with Alicia.
04:55During partner swap week...
04:57No flirting.
04:58Really?
04:59Just be respectful.
05:00Lee made her boundaries clear.
05:02How do you know that you haven't gone out and flirting and you don't remember the majority of the day or the night?
05:09I've been branded a flirt throughout this whole process.
05:12Do you feel like you can trust Leah now?
05:14I think I'd be lying if I said 100%.
05:16The fact is, if I had kissed her, she would have gone mad.
05:22It's double standards.
05:24Usually I just like to try and squash it and sort it out, but there's a lot of things I need to think about.
05:30It's a lot to process.
05:31I'm feeling very sad this morning.
05:40Me and Rhys are obviously very aware that we're not the strongest couple.
05:44Morning!
05:45My feelings are stronger than his, which obviously scares me because I want us to be on the same page when we leave here.
05:52Did you have fun yesterday?
05:54Yeah, yesterday was such a good day.
05:56Was it?
05:57Yeah.
05:58Nice.
05:59It was good.
06:00Obviously I missed you.
06:03I always miss you.
06:06So what was the chat you were having?
06:08I was having a conversation about our big car guidance to the theme park on our final day.
06:15You were acting horrible towards me.
06:17What are you talking about? It's huge. You're in a fucking mood.
06:20If there's going to be an atmosphere all day, I'm just going to go.
06:23I hate it. I fucking hate it.
06:25You're the one who caused it at the beginning.
06:27I'm just, no, I'm just worried that when we leave here, like, is that it for us?
06:31I don't know if I'm the one Felicia.
06:33If she's saying she needs more than what I'm giving her, am I enough?
06:36Listen, like, there's things that do make me think, do I want that for the rest of my life?
06:41Just keep pushing them away. I don't really know what to do.
06:47I told them there's one thing I can't really stand, drama.
06:50Mm-hmm.
06:51You know, you say sometimes I'm causing drama. I'm really, really not.
06:55I don't like drama. I'm just struggling to articulate my feelings at the time.
07:01I maybe don't express it in a way that's good, because then it makes you shut down.
07:06But what I really want to say is, you're hurting my feelings, and I want you to be like, I hear you.
07:11Let's try and get a resolution on how to solve that.
07:14Yeah.
07:15Do you know?
07:16This is where I think we do go wrong.
07:21See where I do maybe do something to hurt your feelings.
07:26Instead of you coming over and having a conversation with me about it.
07:29Yeah.
07:30You act in a different way.
07:31I go, like, I flexed, don't I?
07:32And I'm just like, no worries. I ain't dealing with that.
07:35It's safe to say, throughout this experiment, mine and Leisha's relationship, it literally, I think, most of it does, like, boil down to communication.
07:45We have had a few ups and downs.
07:47I do worry about the future with me and Leisha.
07:50We've got tons in common, but the things that I don't really like about Leisha is the unnecessary arguments.
07:56And they haven't really come to a stop.
07:59So going into the final dinner party today, I am a bit concerned.
08:02If the arguments was to continue, I probably couldn't see myself together with Leisha.
08:11I'm feeling really vulnerable at the minute.
08:13I know exactly where my heart lies, but I am really scared of rejection.
08:18It is weird saying to another person that you love them and not getting it back.
08:23But I just hope he reassures me that he does see potentially falling in love with me.
08:29It's just not right now.
08:32Well, we've arrived at the final dinner party of the experiment.
08:47What a journey it's been.
08:49The highs, the lows, the drama, all culminating in five couples remaining.
08:55This is the last time that our couples will all be together before they make the decision whether or not to renew their vows.
09:01So I am so excited.
09:02Yeah.
09:03Look at us being first to the last.
09:04Hey.
09:05Hello, my little man.
09:06Debate and care.
09:07Last time we saw these two, they had a bit of an issue at homestay, but it appears as if they've been able to overcome that.
09:22Do you know what this reminds me of?
09:24What?
09:25Our first dinner party.
09:26I was out here and you were out there.
09:28Holding hands.
09:29Holding hands.
09:30And I've never been happier.
09:32I never thought that, yeah, I would meet anyone like you in falling in love.
09:37Given it's the last dinner party, it's understandable that our couples are going to be quite sentimental.
09:44And this is that opportunity to really look back across the experiment and to remember the highs and some of the lows.
09:50And not every couple has made it to this stage.
09:53So it's real success for them, isn't it?
09:55They've got it.
09:56Are you going to talk to Lee about Lee kissing Leisha on the Girls' Day?
10:02Ooh.
10:03Wow.
10:04What?
10:05Lee kissing Leisha.
10:06That doesn't make sense.
10:07Well, we definitely need to find out a little bit more about what's got on there because that doesn't sound right at all.
10:12No.
10:13Certainly not.
10:14I don't think it was a full-on kiss.
10:15I think it was just a peck.
10:17It's not a big deal, but I understand how Leah was feeling because if it was the opposite case, she would have made a massive thing about it.
10:23Yeah.
10:24So I do understand that Leah probably is on a bit of an apology on that end.
10:28It can't be one rule for one and one for the other.
10:30Yeah.
10:31Why did Lee do this?
10:33Yeah.
10:34She's the one who's always talked about boundaries.
10:35Right.
10:36So why cross one?
10:37Right.
10:38Makes no sense.
10:39No.
10:42Hi.
10:43Hello.
10:44Hello.
10:45We're marching.
10:46The happy couple, Rebecca and Bailey.
10:48Well, last time we saw Bailey and Rebecca, the big issue of distance in their relationship was coming up.
10:54So what I'll be really interested to see tonight is whether they progress that conversation and starting to actually make some decisions about how they're going to navigate this.
11:02Cheers, guys.
11:03The last EP.
11:04Cheers.
11:05Yeah.
11:06Feels like it's gone in the blink of an eye.
11:07Yeah.
11:08Yeah.
11:09Feels like I've known you a year or two.
11:11Yeah.
11:12It's weird.
11:13How much do you feel like you've known each of the four?
11:14Lifetime.
11:15Oh.
11:16Oh.
11:17Oh.
11:22Hey.
11:23Look at you two.
11:25Here are the ladies in question.
11:27They've walked in together like a unified couple.
11:30Mwah.
11:31Mwah.
11:32But last time we saw these two, Lee was accusing Leah of flirting.
11:36And now it's really interesting that the tables have turned.
11:39Where are you going?
11:40Don't be the girl.
11:41Oh.
11:42He's going to talk to Leah and Leah about the kiss between Leisha and Leah yesterday.
11:48I don't even know what that was.
11:50I don't know.
11:51Leisha did say it to Leah.
11:52Leisha went, oh, by the way, I kissed your wife today.
11:54And Leah went, where?
11:55And she was like, on the lips.
11:56How are you guys?
11:57Good, how are you?
11:58Good.
11:59Kids.
12:00You okay?
12:01Have you checked with her about yesterday?
12:03Who brought it up?
12:05Leisha was like, I kissed your wife.
12:06And then Leah was like, where?
12:07And she was like, on the lips.
12:08But did she make it sound like it was a thing?
12:09I think it's the way that Leisha said it.
12:11It was like, oh, I kissed your wife, but it's not a big deal.
12:15Sorry, I'm just bamboozled that it's even a thing.
12:18I literally kiss you on the lips.
12:19I kiss Keira on the lips.
12:20I kiss everyone.
12:21It's just something that I do.
12:22I'm confused.
12:24If I kissed Leisha, you would have lost your head.
12:28That's double standard.
12:30If I would have come to you and said, oh, I kissed Leisha on the lips.
12:33It's because you've told me before that Leisha's been forthcoming with you in situations and flirted.
12:38So I think that makes the situation slightly different.
12:40I'm really surprised by Leisha's response here because usually she's quite emotionally mature enough to acknowledge, you know, boundaries in relationships.
12:50But on this occasion, it kind of feels like she's making excuses for her behavior as opposed to really taking accountability.
12:57Have you ever been paranoid about me and Leisha?
13:00No, because I trust you.
13:02It's more the double standards thing.
13:09I'll take it.
13:10If it's made you feel the type of way, then I apologize.
13:13I did not mean anything by it.
13:15I never assumed that that would ever be a problem.
13:18The whole Leisha and Leigh kissing, she's trying to spin her side.
13:22It's like, yeah, but it's different because I've thought you and Leisha were flirty before.
13:26Yeah, you've thought that.
13:28So if you do think Leisha's flirty when she's drunk, then why did you let her kiss you?
13:33Why do you think that's okay?
13:34Answer that.
13:41She's only trying to spin it now.
13:43If I'd done that, she would lose her fucking head.
13:46Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:47She's not bothered because I've kissed somebody on the lips.
13:50She's bothered because it's Leisha trying to say it's double standards, and I don't understand how that's the saying.
13:55It is a double standard.
13:57Throughout the experiment, Leigh has set the moral high ground, and she's been speaking to Leigh very much from the, well, I wouldn't do that.
14:06And now here she is having stepped into similar behavior.
14:09She's crossed a boundary, but she was angry when Leigh crossed the same boundary.
14:14Leigh, do you mind coming here? Come on.
14:17I'd have to be made into a big thing.
14:18It's not a big thing.
14:19I didn't ask for that.
14:20Honestly, fine.
14:21I know, but you made it a big thing by going for a little walk.
14:23If I'd done that, you would have lost your head.
14:29Yes.
14:30Because you think I've fancied her.
14:32Because you have told me that Leigh has flirted with you behind closed doors, Leigh.
14:35OK, but even if you knew that, though.
14:36If we're going to do this, we'll do this and we'll get it all out on the table.
14:40She's really not hearing Leigh's perspective here, is she?
14:43No.
14:44There is a situation between you and Leigh that holds a lot more weight.
14:48So if you've got this situation in your head yet, if that's the case and Leigh is flirty when she's drunk, why would you kiss her?
14:53I don't know why you're doing this, like I've made that up out of thin air.
14:57But if you know that, why would you kiss her back then, if you know that and you're a lesbian?
15:02That's what I'm not getting.
15:03All I'm trying to explain in this conversation is that if this were to happen with you, it would be very different.
15:08It's bad, but with you it's not.
15:10I feel like me and Leo could go around in circles having this argument.
15:13It's not going to get anywhere.
15:15I was trying to make you understand how the situation's different.
15:17If you don't understand that and you don't see that, that's fine.
15:22The conversation's done.
15:24The double standards doesn't sit right with me because the situation between Leigh and Leigh is very different.
15:31This is typical Leigh, she gets on a high horse, arguing at me like a fucking lawyer, like...
15:38This whole process is about to justify myself because I think people are good looking.
15:43Just admit you have double standards, drop it, move on.
15:48I actually don't know where I stand with this person.
15:50I actually don't know where I stand with this person.
15:52And I think everybody's going to go with aحد.
15:53Hello, Aаст.
15:54Let me know where I stand with you.
15:55Did they stop you?
15:56The winner of STUDENTS
15:57And then let me know where you are.
15:59Oh-oh!
16:01How are you don't kiss me Leisha oh wow oh too soon what Lee has done there is really
16:22dismiss Leah's feelings Lee has created a disrespect cake right and then she
16:43put disrespect icing on the cake can we just squish this it's been a bit awkward yeah
17:08about the kids thing yeah today just now yeah I think so yeah one thing we know
17:13about Rhys is he hates the drama yeah so hearing whispers of this kiss and the
17:18drama that surrounds it he's gonna be pretty uncomfortable for him yes you
17:23okay yeah I'm just gonna go and make sure race don't think I'm trying to fuck his
17:26wife oh are you annoyed so nice it is a little behind a little bit you know I'm
17:35saying yeah because like you know you are into girls but today right and like like
17:39even though not yeah yeah very far if there's a boundary there between you as a
17:48couple that's been overstepped I I hear that was it a good look on the lips no it's a
17:55pen if I went to say bye to beckon pector on the lips would you care I would be less
18:00annoyed than if Leah did because Leah has flirted with beck a little bit sometimes and I've been a
18:05bit like there's a there's a line and I've said it to beck I mean be best friends but the whole like
18:11sex jokes and the whole odd turner and stuff is the line well now it's becoming apparent that Bailey has
18:16taken issue with Leah's behavior at times and has perhaps felt a little bit threatened
18:21particularly in the knowledge I guess that Leah has quite openly said that Beck would be
18:25her type as well how do you feel about it all well I've said to leash like if the drama continues my
18:32one part with it and I certainly won't stick around for it well of course when we last saw
18:37Leisha and Reese we had that uncomfortable conversation with her saying that she's at a
18:43hundred percent him only being at 80 Reese is essentially saying if you could just hold off on
18:48the drama for a while then I might fall in love with you it kind of feels like he's testing
18:53Leisha you know as soon as she makes a mistake then she's in the doghouse yeah my last relationship
19:01like I think that broke down because of drama oh really don't need it there yeah it's just my pet
19:06hate yeah hey like you mean like what's the point name you get stressed out for like nothing yeah I do
19:14see a future of Leisha I don't know I feel like we just need to get on the same page a little bit it is
19:21frustrating because I have communicated I don't like drama many times now I've Lee and Leisha share
19:27the kiss I'm still getting it all right yeah I just just wanted to just catch her base opinion
19:36really you know because like yeah I spent really on is it in the end of the thing she is into girls
19:41right she's my power as well oh yes no you know and she's not into boys so I could say that to you
19:48like this whole case scenario to be honest is all room blowout proportion it was just like a friendly
19:55kiss and it doesn't mean anything in my eyes I'm not into girls they're my friends like I'm just
20:00quick over friendly and tactical but I would never do that with a man I feel like I sometimes can't ever
20:07do anything right I feel like I was a little bit anxious that obviously like everything I do that
20:13and it's going to like push you away do you know what I mean and I'm just a little bit sad by that
20:19because I feel like I'm just being myself it's sad isn't it to hear Leisha saying I feel like I can't be
20:26myself in this relationship you know that's her essentially saying this does not feel like a safe
20:32space for me to open up and be real she's not trusting the relationship at this point I think
20:39the good sign though is that Leisha is able to voice it with Reece and it shows that there is
20:45like an emotionally safe space for her to feel comfortable to do so
20:48our gorgeous happy couple and of course last time we saw Abby and John they shared with us that they
21:04have told each other they love each other they are all in they are banking on this relationship and
21:10talking about how they're going to take it to the next level outside the experiment
21:14how are you for getting on you enjoyed the last couple of weeks yeah we've had a brilliant time
21:28at the best couple of weeks yeah he's already got a key to my apartment and I have a key to his as well
21:34so you can just let yourself in whenever if you give your partner a key to your apartment that
21:39really shows signs of trust absolutely it's trust do you feel comfortable to give Leisha a key
21:44at yours hmm I don't know if we're at that stage yet for me to give her a key right what do you
21:51think it would take you to get kind of there just like a good run for a bit yeah well we ain't
21:57really had that like good last one I feel like we kind of go like that and then it back to know
22:01what I mean but like good solid one so how are you feeling about it now good yeah for now don't
22:08speak too soon don't jinx me can you see a future with Leisha though let's say if the drama's yeah
22:14no I mean what sense like I was saying to the boys yesterday I was like I have got close to like
22:19feeling it saying it but then like whoa yeah this is positive that Reese could see love between him
22:26and Leisha but then at the same time the fact that he feels like she keeps pushing him away is just
22:33unsettling because we are at the end of the experiment ultimately what he's saying is Leisha
22:40you're bringing the drama to the relationship and that's too much for me but he isn't taking
22:44accountability for his part in this right this is not the time to be unsure of your partner yeah
22:50does she know that as well I haven't actually told her I think you should tell her if you
22:57communicate kind of like where you're at I think that would just reassure her yeah it probably does
23:05take just a little bit more trust in her and maybe just like a little bit more communication a little
23:11reassurance from you and I feel like you will get to where you need to get to she absolutely adores
23:15you race yeah no that's very sweet to hear how you feel about everything like yeah yeah I mean I'm
23:25I'm in love and I've told him that and he never said it back I want you to get out of that headspace
23:33like I feel like if you let him like he will 100% get there so you don't think like every time I do
23:39something it seems like push Reese away and it's like an excuse to like no but I do no but I do
23:43think no I don't think I have said this to you before and you didn't take my advice what was that
23:47I know if sometimes some of the things that you do would put me off okay and I feel like he's a bit
23:52similar to me like you're a fucking nightmare sometimes because you are yeah I think what's
23:57happening with you is that when you are with somebody like Reese who is probably bordering on like
24:04secure to avoidant yeah that makes you madly anxious yeah so you're trying to push and push
24:09and push trying to get all these answers and he's just completely retracting but you both need to
24:13find some security in your relationship I think I just want him to desire me the way I desire yeah
24:19yeah I mean it's a bit chicken and egg isn't it with Leisha and Reese I wonder if he was to give
24:25her more reassurance would he see less drama and if he saw less drama would he be inclined to give more
24:31reassurance
24:31oh
24:43oh
24:44yeah
24:45how exciting is this the final dinner party
25:01for our final dinner party. Cheers, guys.
25:06I was a bit sad this morning.
25:08I'm excited, but, like, no doubt sad about, like,
25:12us not waking up together every morning. It's a bit mad, isn't it?
25:14Yeah. You know, when everything's been so certain over the last few weeks.
25:18Yeah. And now it's going to be uncertain, isn't it?
25:20I feel like it's the end of a chapter.
25:24What's been everyone's highlight?
25:27Mine has to be the wedding day.
25:28You'd have so many fears before the wedding day,
25:32thinking about, like, will I be paired with the right person?
25:36Then, like, turning around and seeing Abby.
25:38All my worries, like, disappeared.
25:40When he turned around, there's these bright blue eyes,
25:43and I think that was, yeah, definitely my favourite moment to date.
25:46Aw. Yeah.
25:48Abby and John, you can really see love radiating from them.
25:52And also you can see how important this has been for them
25:54to meet the love of their lives, and they've met each other,
25:57which is fantastic.
25:58Yeah.
25:59Our hire, my hire, I don't know about yours,
26:01but, like, the last night on our honeymoon,
26:04it was on the rooftop of the hotel.
26:05They, like, sit out at this lovely table for us, load of candles.
26:09It was actually, like, amazing.
26:12That's been my highlight.
26:13What about yours, Leish?
26:14Yeah, I'd probably say the honeymoon.
26:15I think, like, our wedding was, like, so overwhelming, wasn't it?
26:18It was, like, so much.
26:19And then I think on the honeymoon, we just kind of connected
26:21and realised that, like, we'd got on so well, we just had, like, fun.
26:24And then I think the low points.
26:29I think it was, like, the final date.
26:33We was going to the theme park.
26:34Mm.
26:35And, like, it just didn't go to plan.
26:36I thought as soon as we were going to get it,
26:37we were going to have two little kids, like, running around,
26:39causing mischief, like, but it wasn't.
26:41And, like, we walked in there and, like, it just wasn't a good day.
26:47Do you feel the same?
26:48Yeah.
26:48Yeah.
26:49Yeah, it's crap, isn't it?
26:51I think we both just wanted it to be, like, such a good day.
26:53And, yeah, it's just never nice when you do argue like that
26:56and, like, was maybe trying to be quite vulnerable
26:58and quite, like, open from the start.
27:01But I think I soon realised that
27:02you weren't really on the same page as me at that point.
27:07I don't know why that bothers you,
27:09cos not everyone does go to the same page.
27:10And, like, it shouldn't affect you.
27:12Can I chime in?
27:13Go on.
27:15That, exactly what just happened there, is the issue.
27:19What happened there?
27:20So she's telling you that she felt...
27:22She feels a type of way about something.
27:23I'm trying to reassure her there.
27:24Hang on a minute. Let me finish.
27:26She's told you how she feels about something.
27:29And instead of saying,
27:30I understand that you feel that way,
27:32I'm sorry that it makes you feel like that, you know,
27:34we will get to the same place eventually,
27:35and give in reassurance.
27:37You've said, I don't understand why you feel like that.
27:39You shouldn't feel like that.
27:41I don't get why you feel like that.
27:43That ain't reassurance.
27:44That is minimising her feelings, yeah.
27:46OK.
27:48This is really great advice from Leigh.
27:50It's a shame that she isn't able to take her own advice, though,
27:54with relation to this situation about the kiss.
27:56But at the same time, I think Leigh does have a point.
27:59You know, it's very clear here that Rhys is shutting down Leisha.
28:03He's not allowing her to talk about how that felt for her,
28:06and he's being quite dismissive.
28:08I'm just trying to reassure Leisha, like,
28:10you don't need to be worried.
28:11Like, it's OK, yeah.
28:12And I get it.
28:13I think it's the way you deliver it.
28:15OK.
28:15What do I say to that?
28:16You would just say, like,
28:17you're all right to feel that way.
28:19Don't panic.
28:20I'll get there.
28:21Like, there's loads of...
28:22Yeah, but that's, like, a girl's way of, like, delivering a message.
28:25Oh.
28:26Oh, you take that one, Paul.
28:28Yeah.
28:28Yeah, right?
28:30I was going to say, no,
28:31that's the mature way of delivering a message.
28:34Yes.
28:35Yes.
28:35Exactly.
28:38I think it's more just having a little bit more understanding
28:41on, like, me as, like, a person and being, like,
28:43you know I can be a little bit emotional
28:45and I just want a little bit of kindness back.
28:47Like, just that little bit, like...
28:48You can't say I'm not quite the way you're wording it now.
28:51No, but, like, no, not, like, kindness like that.
28:54Kindness towards my emotions.
28:56Understanding that you may not understand how I'm feeling,
28:59but just being, like...
29:00You're a bit softer.
29:01A bit softer towards me type of thing, because, yeah.
29:04How would you feel if someone says, like,
29:06you can't feel like that?
29:07I didn't say you can't feel like that.
29:08No, no, no, but, like...
29:09Is that how it comes across?
29:10No, this is an example.
29:11This is an example.
29:12Like, Leesh, do you feel reassured when he says it?
29:16No.
29:18What the fuck is going on here, yeah?
29:21I do feel like I can give Leeshia the reassurance she needs.
29:25I'm giving her so much more than what I would normally give anyway,
29:27but clearly she's not happy with that.
29:33Leeshia, do you think it's because, obviously,
29:34you've told Leesh that you love him,
29:36and so do you think it's because that he's obviously not there yet,
29:38then there's that insecurity there and that kind of worry,
29:42and that's where it's coming from?
29:43Yeah, of course.
29:43Like, I think, obviously, because I know
29:45I'm not getting what I'm giving back,
29:48which nearly should,
29:49because if he's not there yet,
29:50I don't want it unless he's there.
29:51So, like, it's not like I want anybody to be, like, untrue.
29:54It's just, obviously, I think, like...
29:57I've given him everything.
30:03What do you want from him?
30:04Like, what would you want him to say?
30:05Do you know what I want? I want, like, say we're in a room.
30:06I want to know that I am the only person
30:09that's on the top of your priority list.
30:11And majority of the time,
30:12I feel pretty much at the bottom.
30:14Well, yeah, I don't... I think that's untrue.
30:17OK, he's done it again.
30:19She's talking about,
30:20this is how I feel,
30:21and he says, no, that's untrue.
30:23And I'm pretty sure that going into Val Renewal,
30:26she's going to be feeling pretty uncertain.
30:30Honestly, you must want him to, like, smother you.
30:32You won't be satisfied
30:34until I'm literally, like, picking up baby,
30:37and it just seems like...
30:40Oh, race.
30:41It's getting disrespectful, isn't it?
30:43Mm.
30:43And, of course, this isn't what Leisha is saying.
30:46What she's saying is that she just wants him
30:48to acknowledge how she's feeling.
30:50She's not asking for smothering.
30:51She's not going over the top
30:52in terms of what she needs from him.
30:54She wants basic respect and acknowledgement.
30:56Yes.
30:58I think it's just so scary
30:59because we're leaving on very different terms,
31:01and I'm like, is it strong enough for it to...
31:04Do you know, I know it is for me.
31:06Like, I'll make...
31:07I'll travel to the end of whatever to be with you.
31:10But I just...
31:10I believe it is.
31:15I think I'm just so scared of being hurt.
31:18Oh, honesty box for you, John.
31:44This is the final honesty box,
31:48and it gives our couples an opportunity
31:50to get those last feelings out on the table.
31:56Good evening.
31:58It's important you go into your final varinals
32:01with the clearest possible understanding
32:03of the state of your marriage.
32:05So, we urge you all to be unflinchingly honest
32:09in your responses.
32:10Love, Paul, Mel, and Charlene.
32:12John, what sort of woman did you hope
32:18would be waiting for you at the end of the aisle,
32:20and how do I compare?
32:25Firstly, I wanted somebody
32:27who wasn't too scared to smile.
32:30And I asked for somebody with curves, and...
32:32Yay!
32:34Hey, hey, hey!
32:35I don't think they've ever been applauded before!
32:38Thanks, guys. Thank you.
32:39But those are the things I asked the experts for.
32:43And then you've done things throughout this experiment
32:45that, like, I've not known that I've needed.
32:47I've not known that...
32:48Do you know what?
32:48I'm probably not as secure about my personality
32:51than I've needed.
32:52You know, yes, I did need somebody
32:53that was really supportive
32:54and would really champion me like you do.
32:56I didn't ask the experts for that.
32:58That's exactly what I got,
32:59and exactly what I needed as well.
33:00So I've got even more than I said to the experts.
33:04Oh, my God!
33:06That's cute.
33:07That's really cute.
33:13Abby, what do you see in our future?
33:16So, obviously, I came into this experiment
33:18to find someone for life,
33:19and I have found that,
33:21like, genuinely me,
33:23that, like, you are my soulmate,
33:24and I see that, like, in you,
33:26all the qualities I've ever wanted in a man,
33:29like, you have,
33:31and I feel just so privileged to...
33:33Sorry.
33:36I just feel so privileged
33:37to have you in my life.
33:40You are what I've been waiting for,
33:42and I think the reason why
33:44I have had failed relationships
33:46and they've been so unsuccessful
33:48is because it's led me to this point
33:50to meet you.
33:53I've never been so certain
33:54about my future before
33:55because it's with you.
33:58Whatever the future brings,
33:59like, we'll do it together.
34:01We'll find where we want to live.
34:03We'll have a family
34:04and have, like,
34:06an incredible future together,
34:07and that's all I've ever wanted,
34:09and I'm just so thankful for you,
34:11and I absolutely adore you.
34:12I love you.
34:12I love you.
34:13Oh, nice!
34:17That's so cute.
34:20Now, that had to be the best speech
34:22we've ever heard, right?
34:23Beautiful.
34:24You can see that it really came from her heart
34:27and she really meant it,
34:28and I think that's why we see
34:29the emotion there in John.
34:32I love you.
34:33I love you, too.
34:35I love you.
34:35How are you feeling about us
34:42taking our marriage
34:43into the real world?
34:47There is parts of me
34:49that are worried
34:52that
34:53I'm not going to be enough for you.
34:56a debt
34:58that will drift apart,
35:00and
35:02you'll realize that
35:03I wasn't what you wanted.
35:07I'm just worried that
35:08in your world
35:10I won't fit in
35:10because I'm not enough.
35:13In this relationship,
35:15you know that you're enough
35:16for your world.
35:17I'm just afraid I'm not going to be enough.
35:18You are my world.
35:21If you don't fit into my world,
35:22my world needs to change,
35:23not you.
35:30I wonder how long this fear
35:32has been on Daveed's mind,
35:33you know,
35:34feeling not enough
35:35and concerns about the future.
35:37But I'm hoping that
35:38Keir's words were able to
35:39reassure him
35:40and put his mind at rest.
35:44Bailey, please ask Rebecca.
35:46How do you truly feel
35:48about potentially
35:49leaving your life
35:50and family in Liverpool
35:51to become a wife
35:52in Brighton with me?
35:55How do I truly feel?
35:58Torn,
35:59confused,
36:01worried.
36:02I don't want to leave
36:04my family,
36:05friends,
36:05and my life
36:05in Liverpool.
36:07And I think the main worry
36:08for me is that
36:09at my age now,
36:10like, I want to have
36:11children in the future.
36:12And if I left them,
36:15I wouldn't experience
36:16that life
36:17as, like, a mother
36:18and all of that
36:19with them.
36:24How do you feel
36:25about potentially
36:25moving to Liverpool
36:26if you're flipping that round?
36:27If it wasn't for Bluebell,
36:28like,
36:29it wouldn't be a question.
36:31Honestly,
36:31I would straight away,
36:32probably straight after this,
36:33move up with Bec.
36:34But also,
36:35I totally understand
36:36the situation
36:37and I also wouldn't want
36:38to tear away
36:39from her family.
36:40But I want to be with her
36:40and I want to be near her.
36:41So, it's just so hard.
36:48Bailey,
36:49we are used to spending
36:50every moment together.
36:51Do you think your feelings
36:52will change
36:53when we leave the experiment
36:54due to the distance?
36:55I don't know.
37:06It's hard, isn't it,
37:07to answer?
37:12I feel like there's
37:15a bit of a worry
37:16that when the intensity
37:18isn't there,
37:19that something
37:21might change.
37:23We might lose
37:24that intensity
37:25and lose that passion
37:26and everything
37:26that we do have.
37:29If I could bottle
37:30this relationship up
37:32right now
37:32how it is,
37:33this would be me forever.
37:36I wouldn't change a thing.
37:38And I'm worried
37:38that any of that
37:40bottle leaks out
37:41when we go home
37:41and it changes,
37:42that we might lose track
37:44and lose grasp
37:45with something
37:45that is perfect.
37:46And that's probably
37:47my main worry.
37:49Devastating answer.
37:50Yeah.
37:51No reassurance whatsoever.
37:52That was not expected
37:54from Bailey.
37:55And the first time
37:56we've ever heard it.
37:57Yes.
37:57We've never heard Bailey
37:58filled with doubt like this.
38:00I think also leading
38:01into the vow renewal,
38:03this is a bit of a curveball
38:04and, you know,
38:05we're all shocked.
38:06You can really clearly
38:06see that Rebecca is too.
38:12This is the first time
38:13I'm hearing about
38:14Bailey's concerns.
38:16It's scary
38:16and it's worrying
38:17that his feelings
38:19might change.
38:20If our marriage
38:22didn't last
38:22I would be devastated.
38:24Alicia, what aspects
38:47of my personality
38:47do you struggle
38:48with the most?
38:54Probably your
38:55closed-offness.
38:56Yeah.
38:57Not easy to read
38:58and I obviously
38:59then struggle with that.
39:01When I can't read you
39:02it goes in my head
39:03and then I start spiralling
39:04rather than just
39:06like asking you.
39:07But I still feel like
39:08sometimes if I ask you
39:09you may not say it
39:10because you're quite
39:11closed.
39:13Like when I'm like,
39:13oh, you're right?
39:14And then you kind of like
39:15go, yeah, why?
39:15Like you say
39:16it's like an attack thing.
39:17Only if we've had
39:18a bit of a bicker
39:18I'll be like that.
39:19Yeah.
39:19And then obviously
39:20if you have a bit
39:21of an argument
39:21I'll go a bit like
39:23shut down kind of thing.
39:24You'll go, you're right
39:25and I'll be like, yeah, I'm fine.
39:26But like, I'm not fine
39:27obviously.
39:29I just need them
39:29ten minutes
39:30to just chill.
39:31Yeah, yeah, true.
39:32Just be honest
39:34in the moment
39:34like, do you know
39:36what I mean?
39:36Yeah.
39:42Rhys, how likely
39:44do you think
39:44it is that we will
39:45still be together
39:46one year from now?
39:48Um.
39:53I just think
39:54obviously there's a lot
39:55riding on the next
39:56few months
39:56to see how we cope.
39:57And I feel like
39:59if we can get like
40:01on the same wave
40:02you know, like
40:03if the arguments
40:04calm down
40:05all that kind of stuff
40:06then yeah
40:07I can see us
40:07together in a year's time.
40:09What Rhys is
40:10essentially saying
40:11is, Leisha
40:12as long as you don't
40:13bring any drama
40:14to me
40:15then we might
40:16be together
40:17in a year.
40:18Yeah.
40:19Yeah.
40:20A lot of the anxieties
40:21I get is just
40:22through fear.
40:23Fear of like
40:24when we get out of here
40:24back into the real world
40:26and realistically
40:27like we're not
40:28going to be
40:28with each other
40:29all the time
40:29the way we are
40:30in here
40:30so like
40:31will that connection
40:32drift apart?
40:34I've came in here
40:35to find the love
40:36of my life
40:36and I definitely
40:37know I love you.
40:43No response.
40:45No.
40:46Leisha definitely
40:47has the right
40:47to feel that anxiety.
40:49No response,
40:50no reassurance
40:50and unfortunately
40:51they're not
40:52anywhere closer
40:53together today
40:53than they were
40:54last week.
40:55No.
40:55I am scared
40:59obviously
41:00he's not
41:01trying to reassuring
41:02me to say
41:02like don't worry
41:03I'm not going
41:03anywhere
41:03and we'll make
41:05this work.
41:05I'm just worried
41:06that we're going
41:06to lose that spark
41:07and that we're
41:08just going to
41:08drift off.
41:10It is emotionally
41:10draining.
41:16Oh God.
41:17Lee, do you think
41:21I've been
41:22respectful in
41:22this marriage?
41:24God.
41:27Erm.
41:32To my level
41:33of what I wanted
41:36coming in here
41:37I don't think
41:39everything that
41:41you've done
41:42has been
41:42100%
41:43respectful now.
41:50I don't agree.
41:52Oh.
41:52I just think
41:58there's been
41:59certain times
42:00where you have
42:01made certain
42:01comments or
42:02you have done
42:02certain things
42:03where I
42:04wouldn't have
42:04done.
42:05Can you give
42:06examples, Lee?
42:08I think there
42:08was an uncomfortability
42:09around the way
42:11Leah behaved
42:11towards Beck
42:12in the beginning.
42:12Again, when
42:18Leisha came in
42:19and then talking
42:19about the fact
42:20that you're her
42:20type and...
42:21No, you asked
42:22me at the
42:22dinner table
42:22is she more
42:22your type.
42:23I said yes.
42:26You don't have
42:27to get all right.
42:27It's literally
42:28I'm just explaining
42:29what...
42:29They need the
42:30context as well
42:31sometimes.
42:37In Leisha's
42:38offence,
42:38you're a flirty
42:39person.
42:39You are.
42:41I've felt it
42:41sometimes.
42:42We've spoken
42:43about it.
42:43Hang on.
42:45That's quite
42:45suggestive,
42:46like saying,
42:47oh, we spoke
42:47about it.
42:48I said I
42:49didn't feel
42:49comfortable.
42:51It's how Leah
42:52acts towards
42:53people or
42:54comments that
42:55are made or
42:55certain situations.
42:56It's not a
42:57reciprocated
42:58situation with
42:58you.
42:59I don't feel
42:59like I've ever...
43:00No, you haven't.
43:01I didn't say
43:02that.
43:02I know you
43:03two are close,
43:03Bessie.
43:03I've said
43:04I would never
43:05give her.
43:05But sometimes
43:06your jokes have
43:07hit my nerves
43:08sometimes and
43:09I've said it to
43:09you.
43:10Well, she goes,
43:11I'd sleep with her,
43:11I'd shag her,
43:12oh, I'd turn her.
43:13Leah never, ever
43:13makes jokes like
43:14that to me.
43:15I'm not talking
43:15about in front of
43:16her.
43:16That's what I'm
43:16saying, because
43:17in a group setting
43:18she will be the
43:19person who will
43:19joke you and
43:20go, I'll do that.
43:22I'll do that.
43:22That's disrespectful to
43:23me, though.
43:23If I said I would
43:24shag Leahy, you
43:25wouldn't be happy.
43:26But I don't say it
43:26like that.
43:27That's the question.
43:30Do I feel
43:30disrespected in
43:31those moments?
43:31Yes, I do.
43:32Bailey's felt it.
43:38I've felt it.
43:39There's a limit
43:39between being
43:40friends and
43:41the sexual
43:42endurendos and
43:43the jokes.
43:43For me, it
43:51bothers me when
43:52it's someone that
43:52you've said, like,
43:53is your type.
43:56I think that's
43:57where the disrespect
43:57is.
43:59But just to
44:00clarify, I said
44:01dark hair, someone
44:02like hair is more
44:03my type.
44:04Yeah, that's not
44:04the same.
44:05No, but the wording
44:06might be different,
44:07but that's what I mean.
44:08That's the whole point
44:09of what I'm trying to
44:09say.
44:10Lee and Leah are
44:11probably in the
44:12worst place they've
44:13ever been in, you
44:14know, being
44:14disrespectful to
44:15each other.
44:16I think it's going
44:16to be really
44:16difficult for them
44:17to move forward
44:18from this.
44:19Where does the
44:20land lie with it
44:21all?
44:21Do you know
44:21what I mean?
44:22Like, for example,
44:23there was a
44:23conversation earlier
44:24at the Mixer
44:24about you two
44:25having a quick
44:25peck and that
44:26there was nothing
44:26in that, but
44:28that you felt
44:28like that was
44:29double standards.
44:32So then, is
44:33that okay that
44:34you two, in a
44:35platonic way, went
44:36and kissed?
44:37Because if you
44:38did that, that
44:39would be
44:40against a
44:41boundary.
44:44It's more
44:45also the things
44:46that me and you
44:47have discussed
44:47between us about
44:49Leisha and
44:50there being
44:51a more flirtiness
44:52when Leisha's
44:52had a drink.
44:53Me and you both
44:54know there is
44:54more underneath
44:55that, Leah,
44:56that makes it
44:57different.
44:57So, so, if you
44:58knew that about
44:59her, why would
45:00you kiss her
45:00then?
45:02I didn't kiss
45:03her.
45:03For once she
45:04kissed me.
45:04Fucking joke,
45:05man.
45:06But you allowed
45:07it to happen.
45:08How is that
45:09okay when
45:10I couldn't even
45:12say you're a
45:12good-looking girl?
45:13Like, it just
45:15doesn't add up.
45:16She's allowed to
45:17kiss Leisha, but
45:18I've been
45:19disrespectful.
45:20Fuck me.
45:23It's ridiculous.
45:25Had I never
45:26answered the
45:26question of,
45:28are they more
45:29my type on the
45:29outside world,
45:30if I'd never
45:31answered that
45:31question, you'd
45:32have never had
45:33a thing in your
45:33head of, that
45:35would be a
45:35problem.
45:36I just want to
45:37ask you, did
45:38anything happen
45:39between you and
45:40Leisha in
45:40part of the
45:41swap?
45:42No.
45:44Are you
45:44joking?
45:45I've just
45:46had to ask a
45:46question.
45:48Leisha's just
45:48an absolute
45:49joke.
45:50It's actually
45:54so disrespectful
45:55to me and
45:56to Leisha and
45:57Therese that
45:58this is even
45:59getting brought
45:59up, and I
46:00don't know why
46:01this has even
46:01got into a
46:03thing, because
46:03it's so
46:04disrespectful.
46:05I don't think
46:05it's anyone's
46:06place to say
46:07that's right or
46:08wrong.
46:09I'm not 100%
46:10sure where my
46:11marriage is
46:12heading at this
46:12point and what's
46:13going to happen
46:13at final vows.
46:20All I've done
46:21throughout this
46:22whole process is
46:23justify myself, but
46:25I'm done arguing, I'm
46:27done trying to
46:27defend myself.
46:29Final vows are
46:30coming up and I've
46:31definitely got a lot
46:32to think about,
46:33especially after
46:33tonight.
46:34next time.
46:38In her head, I
46:39fancy these people.
46:41That is unfair on
46:41you.
46:42The experiment
46:43reaches its gripping
46:44climax.
46:45I'm scared because
46:45it's something I want
46:47so badly.
46:47I don't ever want to
46:49see your heart broken.
46:51Do you think you're
46:52on the same page?
46:53I don't think so.
46:55As the first three
46:56couples face a
46:57life-changing decision.
46:59There is feeling
46:59there, but I actually
47:01don't know if Lee
47:02will ever trust me.
47:03If Rhys doesn't
47:04want to renew the
47:06vows, my heart
47:07will be broken.
47:09Whether to stay
47:09together.
47:10Is love enough
47:12to make this work?
47:13We've got a really
47:14deep connection, but
47:16the good doesn't come
47:17without the
47:17bad or end their
47:19marriages forever.
47:20I never want to
47:21hurt Lee-Shah, but
47:22I just need to be
47:23honest.
47:24Lee, I always try
47:26to do the best in
47:27you, but if I'm
47:29truly thinking about
47:30my future, I need
47:32someone who trusts
47:32me without question.
47:34You put pressure on
47:35me to move at a
47:36faster pace than I
47:37was ready for and
47:38not have questions
47:38at all.
47:40So, Lee-Shah.
47:41Do you want to
47:55see you later?
47:57I'm
