00:00:01Previously...
00:00:01Hello!
00:00:03Wifey!
00:00:04...two brand-new couples took the ultimate leap of faith.
00:00:08Tyson, nice to meet you.
00:00:11Outspoken Tyson was concerned his new bride might be too dominant.
00:00:15I'm exceptionally goal-driven.
00:00:17She did give across masculine energy.
00:00:19I want submissive vibes, otherwise we can have problems.
00:00:22...before making his expectations very clear.
00:00:26Do you want this?
00:00:27Probably five would be good.
00:00:28What?
00:00:28He hasn't got to push them out.
00:00:30How can it be?
00:00:31It's only this big.
00:00:32You've just got to feed it and take it to the toilet.
00:00:36I've actually got many floors.
00:00:38Carpet, tiles, wood.
00:00:40And when Juliet married Joel...
00:00:42He still likes to lie on my lap and have me scratch his back.
00:00:46Unique wedding speeches planted seeds of doubt for Juliet.
00:00:51Yeah, I'm definitely a bit worried.
00:00:52Maybe he's in it for the wrong reasons.
00:00:57Tonight...
00:00:58I'm a farmer and a gym owner.
00:01:00I'm a fitness trainer by trade, but I am happiest outside.
00:01:05It's one of the most incredible matches the experiment's ever seen.
00:01:10I feel like I put my career first, but now I want to focus on this.
00:01:14I have thrown myself into my career, but now I'm ready to put love first.
00:01:18Are they my vats?
00:01:19I know, right?
00:01:20I know.
00:01:20The final couple to enter this year's experiment.
00:01:24Stop!
00:01:26The original couples celebrate their first milestone.
00:01:29There's no other way of explaining our relationship for us to be just extra.
00:01:34And Julia drops an unexpected bombshell.
00:01:37That burning desire doesn't seem to be growing.
00:01:42Leaving Grayson in shock.
00:01:44It's hard.
00:01:47And then...
00:01:48My rig's a lot of maintenance.
00:01:49It's like a Ferrari.
00:01:51Stephanie and Tyson's honeymoon goes from bad...
00:01:54Is it the situation or is it me?
00:01:57I'll probably say it's you.
00:01:59To worse...
00:02:00I don't want a slave for a wife.
00:02:02All I want is just a submissive wife.
00:02:04As Stephanie butts heads with her opinionated new husband.
00:02:08Sounds like a you problem, not a new problem.
00:02:10Well, it's a new problem because you're missing out on all this.
00:02:13Anyway.
00:02:13Wow.
00:02:14My blood is boiling.
00:02:15I don't know who he thinks he is.
00:02:22Having returned to their accommodation for the night,
00:02:25new bride Juliet is still struggling to make sense of the wedding speeches.
00:02:30I need to talk with my husband.
00:02:32I just want to have a conversation with him, with my concerns,
00:02:35because, um, yeah, I think it's, like, worrying.
00:02:39Earlier,
00:02:40husband Joel's performative speech failed to land.
00:02:44Through highs and lows,
00:02:45my loyalty for you will remain as strong as my BO after a Barry's class.
00:02:51But when Joel's mum Sharon took her turn on the mic...
00:02:54He was a baby that did not sleep.
00:02:56Juliet began questioning if he was here for the right reasons.
00:03:00As he got older, he turned into a gluttonous pig.
00:03:04Who can say shit like that?
00:03:05Like, especially at a wedding speech with someone who has no idea who this guy is.
00:03:09Thanks for a beautiful speech.
00:03:10This whole thing has been like a joke in a theatrical performance.
00:03:19But Juliet's concerns have been put on ice.
00:03:23So Joel can introduce a special someone who couldn't make the wedding.
00:03:36That's Teddy.
00:03:45Oh, my God, that's crazy.
00:03:50What do you think about a grown man having a teddy bear or taking a teddy bear into this experiment?
00:04:01Um...
00:04:04Tonight has just been, like, the longest day of my life.
00:04:08And after all of my discomfort with today and the speeches,
00:04:13now I'm dead reeling with a teddy bear.
00:04:15Teddy, I'm fine with Teddy.
00:04:17Yeah?
00:04:17I would never count Teddy as a red flag.
00:04:19It's not, like, a big deal breaker for me.
00:04:22But I'm definitely worried about the other stuff.
00:04:26The speeches.
00:04:28Yours and your mum's.
00:04:29It was pretty bad, yeah.
00:04:30What?
00:04:31My mum's speech?
00:04:32Yeah.
00:04:33Really?
00:04:34Yeah.
00:04:35How so?
00:04:36The pig comment.
00:04:37I wasn't a fan of that.
00:04:39I think it, like, painted you in a horrible picture.
00:04:42Wow.
00:04:42Yeah.
00:04:43Okay.
00:04:44Yeah.
00:04:44But that's how we speak.
00:04:45Insults or just truth.
00:04:48That's very surprising.
00:04:49Really?
00:04:49Yeah.
00:04:50Okay.
00:04:50I was absolutely shocked.
00:04:52No one I have ever spoken to that has interacted with my mum like that
00:04:57has ever said one single bad word about her.
00:04:59She is an angel on this earth.
00:05:02She's everyone's angel.
00:05:04You seem a bit concerned.
00:05:05I'm concerned.
00:05:06Of course.
00:05:07Because of what my mum said about me?
00:05:09And even the vibes that you guys were saying.
00:05:12You as well.
00:05:13In your speech.
00:05:14What?
00:05:14It didn't feel, like, genuine.
00:05:17Like, are you in this for the right reason then?
00:05:19Like, are you after a real, like, deep love, emotional relationship?
00:05:22That's all that matters to me.
00:05:24So why wasn't that present in this speech or the vows?
00:05:27The vows are more heartfelt and more, like, deep.
00:05:31You're maybe just seeing too much of the joker, you know, the joke maker.
00:05:37Mm-hmm.
00:05:38I'm here to find love and I'm here to work through it with you.
00:05:42Silencing out the outside noise.
00:05:45The outside noise, I think, is literally everyone that showed up to the wedding.
00:05:50Not that they, like, said anything to me, but you can read expressions from everyone.
00:05:55And expressions are life.
00:06:00I'm positive and I want to give it a shot.
00:06:03Okay, good.
00:06:03And I believe in giving it a shot and being open-minded.
00:06:06Let's both make a pact on that and just have the best time ever.
00:06:09Promise?
00:06:10Yeah.
00:06:11The thing is, like, the chemistry between us is good.
00:06:15Excited to do this with you.
00:06:17Excited.
00:06:18I'm excited.
00:06:19I'm gonna trust that.
00:06:21I'm gonna sleep on it and trust the experts.
00:06:23This is all meant to happen for a reason.
00:06:25Yeah.
00:06:25I think maybe tonight...
00:06:27Yeah.
00:06:27...we keep it classy and we do separate beds.
00:06:30Oh, sure.
00:06:30For sure.
00:06:31As Juliette and Joel put their first difficult conversation...
00:06:36...and a teddy...
00:06:38...to bed...
00:06:41...our other recent newlyweds, Stephanie and Tyson, are waking in separate rooms.
00:06:48After a tense first night getting to know each other.
00:06:54I stand firmly by my beliefs.
00:06:56If the person across from me today embraces woke culture, we'll have a problem.
00:07:00Oh, thank God.
00:07:03Although it was clear the couple had plenty in common...
00:07:07Everything he said was really lovely.
00:07:09I definitely think there was, like, some good chemistry there.
00:07:12Cracks soon appeared around Stephanie's career-driven mindset.
00:07:16I'm exceptionally goal-driven and ambitious.
00:07:19Oof.
00:07:20Do you want to be house-husband?
00:07:22Hell no.
00:07:23You may as well ask me if I want to wear a skirt around the house.
00:07:26I want someone that is very driven.
00:07:28You're motivated, which is great.
00:07:29But, um, I don't want someone that's going to bring masculine energy to a relationship.
00:07:34I'm very stressed.
00:07:35I feel like my body is, like, shutting down on me.
00:07:41Yeah, look, um, I'm not going to lie, I woke up this morning having a lot of doubt.
00:07:46Coming onto this experiment, um, I thought you guys would match me up with someone a little
00:07:50bit more feminine.
00:07:51Someone that gives off, like, those sweet vibes.
00:07:53And I'm just not feeling that with, uh, Steph.
00:07:55Do you think you've given it enough time?
00:07:57I haven't.
00:07:58And I admit that.
00:07:58I haven't given it enough time.
00:08:00But I don't actually look at her as a partner or a wife right now.
00:08:04Yeah, I just, I really do get those boss bitch vibes.
00:08:07Am I kind of matching?
00:08:09Yeah, I know.
00:08:10Despite some doubts of her own, and with their honeymoon about to get underway.
00:08:16How exciting.
00:08:18Stephanie is taking a very different approach to the marriage.
00:08:22Now that I've had time to rest and reflect, I think we've been matched really well.
00:08:27I'm definitely going into the honeymoon, like, wanting to learn.
00:08:30I want to learn more about Tyson.
00:08:33Dear Newlyweds, your honeymoon begins in the breathtaking beauty of Shoalhaven, a coastal
00:08:38escape where white sand meets rolling green hills.
00:08:42Shoalhaven, do you surf?
00:08:43Do I surf?
00:08:44No.
00:08:44Alright, well, something we're going to have to put on the old bucket list.
00:08:47I'm going to have to teach you how to surf.
00:08:48Do you know how to surf?
00:08:49A little bit.
00:08:51I can tell he's, like, trying to make an effort to, like, show me that he's there
00:08:54for me.
00:08:55Be a gentleman.
00:08:56That's actually really exciting.
00:08:58Yay!
00:08:59Cool.
00:08:59So, I want to put myself out of my comfort zone.
00:09:03I mean, I'm already out of it, but I want to just, like, give everything a go.
00:09:06Bring it on.
00:09:07Sweet.
00:09:07I'm excited.
00:09:08Let's go.
00:09:08Let's go honeymoon.
00:09:09Cool.
00:09:10Yeah, just want to be open.
00:09:12For Stephanie, who's never been in a serious relationship, a romantic getaway is a huge
00:09:19step.
00:09:22I did go away once to Caloundra with a partner, but that was, like, over ten years ago.
00:09:34I'm very nervous.
00:09:35My stomach is doing flip flops.
00:09:37Alright, let's rock and roll.
00:09:38I don't know what to expect.
00:09:40Going away with a partner I've never met before.
00:09:42I'm shitting my pants.
00:09:52You need help?
00:09:54I think you do.
00:09:55Come on.
00:09:55After their honest discussion last night, Juliet and Joel are starting their day in high spirits.
00:10:02Wow.
00:10:04Wow.
00:10:04Holy smokes.
00:10:06Last night, he showed me that he's kind.
00:10:10He showed me that he's here for the right reasons.
00:10:12So nice.
00:10:13This is insane.
00:10:14Yeah.
00:10:15So today, I'm blocking out any concerns from yesterday and just giving this whole situation
00:10:21the benefit of the doubt.
00:10:24Oh, my God.
00:10:25Those are our names.
00:10:27Can I?
00:10:27I'll let you do the honours.
00:10:29I think we smooth things over.
00:10:30But for me, it's still concerning how she was so easily influenced by the opinions of other
00:10:35people.
00:10:36You're heading north to the sparkling shore of Gold Coast.
00:10:39Yay!
00:10:40I think the honeymoon is going to bring us closer together.
00:10:43Quality time is so important because a lot of people meet me and they misunderstand me
00:10:46straight away.
00:10:47Woo!
00:10:49We did good.
00:10:51Now bring on the honeymoon, baby!
00:11:01Back at the apartments...
00:11:04Oh.
00:11:04Oh, I'm gonna get this.
00:11:06Your turn.
00:11:07An unexpected delivery heralds the arrival of a brand new challenge for our couples.
00:11:13Could be a million dollar scratchy.
00:11:17All right, so...
00:11:18Dear Mel and Luke.
00:11:19Dear Alyssa and David.
00:11:21Congratulations.
00:11:21This week marks your one month anniversary.
00:11:24So today, Daniel will get a second wife for the day.
00:11:30That's unreal.
00:11:34In celebration of this milestone, this week we are tasking you with doing something for
00:11:38your partner.
00:11:39This may be a gift, an experience, or a heartfelt show of affection.
00:11:42In this accelerated experiment, our couples need to form deep connections quickly.
00:11:48And learning to celebrate milestones with a show of appreciation is an important part
00:11:54of that process.
00:11:55One month anniversary.
00:11:57I know, I know.
00:11:58Okay, alright.
00:11:58Whether it's fun, romantic, or a meaningful gesture, this task is a chance to acknowledge
00:12:04how far they've come, what they've learned about each other, and to uncover their sincerest
00:12:10side.
00:12:11One month, and I've aged 10 years.
00:12:13Imagine if we stayed together a year, I would look like a 90 year old.
00:12:17What do you mean imagine?
00:12:19You're not funny.
00:12:25As the couples begin planning their activities...
00:12:2975 bucks a kilo.
00:12:32F*** me.
00:12:34He's gonna ruffle some feathers.
00:12:36Gia and Scott are diving straight in, with a plan to mark their first month together...
00:12:41Here we go.
00:12:43...permanently.
00:12:44I never would have thought I would come into this experiment and literally meet someone
00:12:50I like enough to get a matching tattoo with.
00:12:52Now that you've started, I'm not gonna get mine.
00:12:54Why are you joking about that?
00:12:55I'm joking.
00:12:55Is that why you agree for me going first?
00:12:57No, you won't.
00:12:58And we're getting barbed wire heart tattoos with number 13 inside, for season 13, Married
00:13:05at First Sight.
00:13:06I just think it's very us.
00:13:08There's no other way of explaining our relationship but for us to be just extra.
00:13:12We've really set the stone, haven't we?
00:13:14Set the tone.
00:13:16The stone, the tone.
00:13:18I think the other couples are probably going on a little lunch date, cooking for each other
00:13:22in an apartment situation.
00:13:26My favourite shirt.
00:13:28Going on a little picnic.
00:13:33No one's going to be doing what we're doing today and that's what I love about us.
00:13:37I can't wait to go to the dinner party with my heels on and be like, hi!
00:13:40We live an exceptional life.
00:13:43I love it.
00:13:45Me too.
00:13:46You have to eat a piece of salami as well though.
00:13:49Yeah.
00:13:50Otherwise we'll smell that salami.
00:13:52It's the most adorable thing that anyone's ever done for me in my life.
00:13:56Look at the cherry ripe.
00:13:58You're so cute.
00:13:59I tried pretty hard on it to be fair.
00:14:01Like no one has ever done this for me in my life, ever.
00:14:05No man.
00:14:06Last week was a really bad week for us, right?
00:14:09We didn't have a great time.
00:14:11But each time we've faced an adversity in our relationship, we're stronger than we thought.
00:14:17We come back stronger, yeah.
00:14:19Yeah.
00:14:19Do you feel that?
00:14:20Yeah, we do, yeah.
00:14:22It's been a turbulent first few weeks for Bec and Danny, following Gia's allegation that Danny expressed an interest in
00:14:29her.
00:14:30Babe, babe, do you know one of my favourite sayings?
00:14:33Look at my eyes.
00:14:36Look at my eyes.
00:14:38But why would I make that up?
00:14:39Why the f*** would I make that up?
00:14:45Joel, what do you do? What do you do for her?
00:14:47Oh, sorry, modelling.
00:14:48For what?
00:14:49Kmart or Big W?
00:14:50Last night, Gia was really disrespectful to Joel.
00:14:53You should just be happy anyone's talking to you, mate.
00:14:56Like, it's crazy. I do feel like it's attention-seeking behaviour.
00:15:00It's just like when she made up rumours about my husband.
00:15:03Gia, why are you doing that?
00:15:04I just think there's a place and a time if you've got something to say.
00:15:09That you've got no decorum.
00:15:10Bad energy, that's what it is.
00:15:12Yeah.
00:15:13Yeah, at the end of the day, Gia's the one that has hurt me.
00:15:15But even in the face of, like, adversity and, you know, people sort of coming for our relationship,
00:15:21we've come out of it on top.
00:15:24Oh, my God, you're so cute!
00:15:27He has gone to such an effort.
00:15:29They're so beautiful, thank you.
00:15:33Like, I'm falling in love with him.
00:15:37And it's like, it's great.
00:15:38It's the best feeling in the world.
00:15:42Oh, my God.
00:15:45That means so much.
00:15:48The one-month milestone also marks the very last opportunity for a new couple to join the experiment.
00:15:55Five, four, three, two, one, let's go.
00:16:00And our final groom...
00:16:02Keep the clap now.
00:16:04Hey!
00:16:05...is 34-year-old fitness studio owner Sam from Adelaide.
00:16:10From Sam's search for love, lack of interest from women hasn't been the problem.
00:16:17I wouldn't pick it.
00:16:19Yeah, look, it...
00:16:21I feel like as you get to know me better, you'll start to, like, pick up on stuff, but I'm
00:16:26a gay man.
00:16:27It's true.
00:16:29The rumours are true.
00:16:32I think I need the experts because the dating scene here in Adelaide is not great.
00:16:39It's just the same dudes over and over, and it's just, like, pretty hard to find someone looking for a
00:16:45real connection.
00:16:46How are you feeling about it all? Getting excited?
00:16:48I'm very excited.
00:16:49Don't know what's going to happen, but, uh, we'll see.
00:16:51I've dated and I've travelled and done heaps of my life and I've opened a business, but I feel like
00:16:57the one thing that I haven't really, like, conquered yet, obviously, is, like, finding the person that I want to
00:17:02spend the rest of my life with.
00:17:04Are you open to opening up? I know you're picky.
00:17:07You're going to throw yourself fully into the experiment.
00:17:09I didn't know I was picky, Shane. That's brand new information to me.
00:17:12I think you're picky.
00:17:13Yeah, you are.
00:17:14Yeah, cool.
00:17:15Yeah, maybe I am.
00:17:21Maybe I'm a little bit picky.
00:17:22But I really do trust this process.
00:17:24I really trust the experts as well.
00:17:26Yeah, the track record with gays on maths hasn't been great.
00:17:30Um, but I am here, hopefully, to change that.
00:17:34At least you'll finally stop stealing all the good-looking women off your single mates.
00:17:38You've done that about the whole time, don't you?
00:17:40Yeah, cool.
00:17:42I am happiest outside.
00:17:46So I'm just looking for someone who can take out camping and sleep by the campfire, but also can get
00:17:53out with the girls and hit the dance floor and be fun.
00:18:01I'm Christopher, I'm 38, and I'm from the south coast, New South Wales.
00:18:05So definitely two sides to me.
00:18:08I'm a farmer and a gym owner.
00:18:11I am definitely ready to share my life with someone.
00:18:14Someone who's also career-driven, who's into health and fitness, and someone who can enjoy just a simple life on
00:18:23the farm with me.
00:18:25It's really important for me that my match is ready to settle down.
00:18:30I want the white picket fence, all that stuff.
00:18:33My dream family set up would be me, my husband, two children, you know, all of us at the farm,
00:18:39just enjoying our best life.
00:18:43If my partner's from interstate, I would definitely be open to moving.
00:18:48I feel like the business is in a place where, you know, I can leave it and come back to
00:18:53it.
00:18:53Like, I'm ready, I've got itchy feet, I'm ready to go somewhere else, start something new.
00:18:59While Sam and Chris are both ready to settle and build a life with someone, there is one aspect of
00:19:06Chris's wish list that could prove tricky.
00:19:09It's really important for me that my match wants kids or is open to the idea of children.
00:19:15I've wanted to be a father for so long, and as I've gotten older, I feel like I can't wait
00:19:21to bring a little human into this world.
00:19:23So, it's wild, absolutely wild, but I'm pregnant.
00:19:30Not me, obviously.
00:19:37There's two children coming.
00:19:40I have one coming very soon, and then I have another one coming next year.
00:19:46I am donor daddy for a friend of mine who's a lesbian.
00:19:49Then I'm also having my own child through surrogacy.
00:19:53Tell me, Chris, what's your plan going in?
00:19:58In terms of revealing the kids that are coming, you know, into your life.
00:20:03Yeah, I mean, it's a tough one.
00:20:05In the dating world, I usually like to bring it up as soon as possible.
00:20:08Yeah.
00:20:09So there's no issues.
00:20:11Yeah, I like that.
00:20:11And that goes to who you are, what you see is what you get.
00:20:17Yeah.
00:20:17You're authentic.
00:20:18Yes.
00:20:20So, two children coming.
00:20:22I know it's a lot for my future husband.
00:20:24It's obviously huge.
00:20:26But, yeah, I am going to make the best dad.
00:20:29And I hope that my match is willing to do the same.
00:20:35As we know, Chris has already begun his journey to starting his own family.
00:20:40Look, Chris, he's a driven guy.
00:20:43And he's been nesting, waiting for the right guy to come about.
00:20:47I think that guy could be Sam.
00:20:49He is such a catch.
00:20:51Yeah.
00:20:52Sam is open, accepting, and is now at a stage in his life where he's looking for that big love.
00:20:59But what is interesting with this pairing is whether their timelines for having a family is going to match up.
00:21:06Chris and Sam both really crave monogamy.
00:21:09I think we've got a really solid couple here.
00:21:11Compatibility just screams off the page.
00:21:14The last couple to enter the experiment is Sam and Chris.
00:21:18And soon they will marry at first sight.
00:21:23Coming up...
00:21:24My rig's a lot of maintenance. It's like a Ferrari.
00:21:27You almost don't want to buy it at that much maintenance.
00:21:29You know what I mean?
00:21:30Oh, my good God.
00:21:31Tyson's lunch topics...
00:21:33One thing's for sure, Steph, you just demolished that.
00:21:35..fail to impress wife Stephanie.
00:21:38It's not always what you say, it's about how you say it.
00:21:41And Julia speaks her truth.
00:21:44What a wild ride this has been thus far.
00:21:47..in an unforgettable monthly milestone gesture.
00:21:50What?
00:21:52What is this?
00:22:00It's the morning of Sam and Chris' wedding.
00:22:04And the first of our grooms, Chris, has awoken with pre-wedding nerves.
00:22:13This is definitely not how I imagined my wedding day.
00:22:17I always thought I would get married at my farm to someone that I know.
00:22:21But monogamy in the gay community is very tough to find.
00:22:26And that's why a lot of my dates haven't worked.
00:22:33I'd love to have a husband and the white picket fence family.
00:22:38And it's really important for my future kids too.
00:22:43So, if this experiment didn't work, obviously it's going to be devastating.
00:22:51Hey!
00:22:53How are you guys?
00:22:55Chris' sister Becky and mum Veronica...
00:22:58Hi mum, how are you going?
00:23:00..have travelled from Townsville in Northern Queensland to support him on his big day.
00:23:06Can you believe I'm getting married?
00:23:07I cannot believe it.
00:23:09It's happening today.
00:23:10Mum and my sister Becky, we're super close.
00:23:13Oh, I didn't sleep much last night.
00:23:15Yeah?
00:23:15Mum's just a queen.
00:23:17Just excited.
00:23:18When we were little, my parents divorced and she raised us on her own.
00:23:21We have been through so much together.
00:23:24I love them so much.
00:23:26So, what do you think he's going to look like?
00:23:28Um, I don't know.
00:23:30I hope, I just hope that he's kind.
00:23:32Yeah, Chris just wants to be loved.
00:23:33He wants someone that's going to love him unconditionally.
00:23:36You're so ready for this.
00:23:37I'm so ready.
00:23:38So ready to start your next chapter.
00:23:39He is about to become a father.
00:23:41So that's very important.
00:23:43So this, that's me.
00:23:45It's probably the biggest day of his life today.
00:23:47And I just want to see him happy.
00:23:49You're supporting me.
00:23:50Thank you so much mum.
00:23:51I love you so much.
00:23:52Thank you for coming.
00:23:53I appreciate it.
00:23:53I wouldn't be anywhere else.
00:23:58Groom Sam is starting his morning thinking about loved ones too.
00:24:03Yeah, family is incredibly important to me.
00:24:06I wish my parents could be here today.
00:24:09Sam's mum and dad are away touring in remote bushland.
00:24:13And are unable to attend today's wedding.
00:24:17Hello.
00:24:18Hello, how are we?
00:24:20Do you like the soup?
00:24:21You're both eyes a little bit.
00:24:23Oh, thanks mum.
00:24:24Very good.
00:24:25That's better.
00:24:26Yeah, we've just been getting ready.
00:24:29And yeah, then the day begins.
00:24:31Meet my husband.
00:24:33Yes.
00:24:35That's a little exciting.
00:24:36Hope he's cool.
00:24:37Hope he gets along with you guys.
00:24:39It's very important to me.
00:24:40You know we would love to.
00:24:41I know you'd love to be here.
00:24:43Yes, I know.
00:24:43Yeah.
00:24:44Yeah.
00:24:44And we support you whatever you do.
00:24:46Oh, thanks mum.
00:24:48That's good.
00:24:49There goes mum.
00:24:51She's gone, yeah.
00:24:52I knew that was going to happen.
00:24:55All right.
00:24:56Love you both.
00:24:57Bye.
00:24:57Bye.
00:25:01How are you feeling right now?
00:25:03Yeah.
00:25:03I wish they were here.
00:25:11I'm just so lucky to have such supportive parents.
00:25:14It's so cool and yeah, not everyone has that support from their parents and it makes me so grateful.
00:25:42Beautiful.
00:25:47Beautiful.
00:25:49This is so nice.
00:25:51It's stunning.
00:25:54You're welcome.
00:25:55Oh, here come the others.
00:25:58Hi.
00:25:58Hello, how are you going?
00:26:00Hi.
00:26:00How are you going?
00:26:01How are you going?
00:26:02Nerve-wracking.
00:26:03So, this is Guam, Veronica, and I'm his sister.
00:26:07And best mate.
00:26:08Oh, how good.
00:26:09We're all best mates.
00:26:10Oh, lovely.
00:26:12Yeah.
00:26:12Yeah.
00:26:12What's his name?
00:26:13Yeah, what's his name?
00:26:15Chris.
00:26:15We've got a Sam.
00:26:16We've got a Sam.
00:26:19Plus he likes animals.
00:26:20Loves them.
00:26:21Yep.
00:26:21Awesome.
00:26:22Excellent.
00:26:23Amazing.
00:26:24I'm excited.
00:26:24Sounding good.
00:26:25Yeah.
00:26:26I just hope that their values align.
00:26:28That's obviously the ideal outcome.
00:26:31Is Chris outgoing?
00:26:31Is he quiet?
00:26:33Very outgoing.
00:26:34Oh.
00:26:34When we got to talk to Chris's family members a little bit, I feel like there was a bit
00:26:38of a mirror kind of thing going on there.
00:26:40Very similar.
00:26:42Gonna be a good day.
00:26:45I'd like a drink actually.
00:26:46I can have a drink after this, right?
00:26:49Is Chris outdoorsy?
00:26:51Yes.
00:26:52Oh, yes.
00:26:53Very outdoorsy.
00:26:55Sam runs a fitness studio.
00:26:57Oh, stop.
00:26:58So does Chris.
00:26:59Oh, wait.
00:27:01Yeah.
00:27:04They sound very similar already.
00:27:07I never drink by myself normally.
00:27:08This is weird for me to do.
00:27:09So I have a tiny, tiny little bit.
00:27:11It looks like they have a lot in common.
00:27:13Oh.
00:27:14I'm so excited now.
00:27:16Yeah.
00:27:19Oh, here he is.
00:27:21Woo!
00:27:21Oh, look at him.
00:27:26How you doing?
00:27:27Hi.
00:27:28Good.
00:27:29Sam, nice to meet you.
00:27:29Nice to meet you.
00:27:30Hi, Bec.
00:27:31Nice to meet you.
00:27:32How you doing?
00:27:34Sam, nice to meet you.
00:27:35He's tall.
00:27:36Good.
00:27:38Where am I meant to stand?
00:27:39His son?
00:27:40His son, I think.
00:27:41Yeah, I'm with you guys.
00:27:43He's got such a kind face.
00:27:46But very handsome as well.
00:27:47So we're happy.
00:27:48Yeah, we're happy.
00:27:49Yeah.
00:27:49How are you feeling?
00:27:50Yeah, I feel good.
00:27:51Lovely.
00:27:52But, um, yeah, this is the most stressful part right now, I guess.
00:27:56We've done some intel, Sam.
00:27:57It's all looking...
00:27:58Yeah.
00:27:59There you go.
00:28:06I have been wanting to get married for so long now.
00:28:12And, yes, I have dreamt of this day for a very long time.
00:28:17Just worried if we're gonna like each other.
00:28:20If he's gonna like me and if I'm gonna like him.
00:28:23If we have anything in common.
00:28:27And, obviously, that initial spark and that initial click.
00:28:33I'm hoping for someone kind.
00:28:36Someone to do life with.
00:28:39Someone to start a family with.
00:28:44Oh, here he comes.
00:28:46Oh!
00:28:47Oh, he's handsome.
00:28:48He is.
00:28:54Hi.
00:28:55Hello.
00:28:55How you doing?
00:28:56Good.
00:28:56How are you?
00:28:57Very good.
00:28:57Nice to meet you.
00:28:58Lovely to meet you.
00:28:58Sam.
00:28:59What's going on?
00:28:59Nice to meet you.
00:29:00Thanks for showing up.
00:29:01Yeah, you too.
00:29:04You look handsome.
00:29:06You too.
00:29:10A big, huge wow.
00:29:12Yeah, you look great.
00:29:13Yeah.
00:29:15He has a really kind face.
00:29:16He's got beautiful eyes.
00:29:18Great energy.
00:29:19And he's super handsome.
00:29:21Did you meet my mum in that?
00:29:22Yeah, I just met them all before.
00:29:24Yeah.
00:29:24Yes.
00:29:25Do you approve?
00:29:26Yeah.
00:29:27Tick.
00:29:28Great.
00:29:29I think there's a spark.
00:29:30For sure.
00:29:33I'm really obsessed with his eyes.
00:29:35They're like really blue.
00:29:36They were just like striking.
00:29:37Yeah, he's really handsome.
00:29:39Here we go.
00:29:40Do it.
00:29:43I'm going to try not to cry.
00:29:46Good afternoon and a heartfelt welcome to everyone gathered here.
00:29:50As we witness the joining of Chris and Sam in marriage.
00:29:54In the presence of those who love and support you,
00:29:58I now invite you to share your vows.
00:30:01I've got a tissue if you cross.
00:30:05Sorry, I can't actually see.
00:30:06That's okay.
00:30:07I haven't seen you for the first time now.
00:30:08Okay.
00:30:10Hope you like it.
00:30:11I do, I do.
00:30:12It's good.
00:30:13Happy.
00:30:15When he put his glasses on, I felt like crumbling to my feet.
00:30:19He's so handsome and it was so cute and yeah, he's a vibe.
00:30:23I loved it.
00:30:27Chris, it's nice to finally meet you.
00:30:30I'm a fitness trainer by trade and I own my own successful fitness studio in Adelaide.
00:30:36When I'm not yelling over music at clients, I'm normally outside camping.
00:30:41There's something about being out in nature that makes me feel whole.
00:30:44Wow.
00:30:46Sure I have mates that could come, but they're not so keen on a cuddle in the swag by the
00:30:50fire.
00:30:50So I hope this is something you'd be into.
00:30:56Nothing beats a fire under the stars of a night.
00:30:58That's the way to my heart.
00:30:59That's great.
00:31:01I know I'm pretty dressed up today, but I'm usually knee deep in mud and cow shit.
00:31:06I hope you like the great outdoors because if you haven't guessed, I'm a farmer.
00:31:11Whilst the farm is my happy place, I do also have an apartment in the city that I bounce between.
00:31:15In the city, I run a very successful PT business.
00:31:19Are they my vows?
00:31:20I know, right?
00:31:21I know.
00:31:22Finding love in Adelaide has been tough.
00:31:24I feel like I've stayed in Adelaide for a long time to put my career first, but now I want
00:31:28to focus on this.
00:31:29For a long time, I have thrown myself into my career, but now I'm at a stage in my life
00:31:34where I'm ready to put love first.
00:31:36So I'm hoping that you and I can reignite my passion for love and romance.
00:31:42I'm a bit romantic, whether it's planning a date, booking a spontaneous trip, or just bringing you a coffee in
00:31:48bed.
00:31:49Those moments matter to me because they're how I show love.
00:31:53Wow.
00:31:54I'm ready to enjoy coffees on the veranda, sunsets at the farm, and all the little ordinary moments that turn
00:32:00into something special because I still want my happily ever after and I really hope it's with you.
00:32:05Here's to hopefully being happily ever after.
00:32:08Yours, Sam.
00:32:09That was amazing.
00:32:10Thank you so much.
00:32:11That was so good.
00:32:16We have very similar interests.
00:32:18Same, same.
00:32:19We seemed really aligned.
00:32:21Like, we almost said the same thing.
00:32:23With this ring.
00:32:24With this ring.
00:32:25I offer you my heart.
00:32:26I offer you my heart.
00:32:28And my everlasting devotion.
00:32:31Yeah, I'm very happy.
00:32:32You know, I was just, like, picturing, like, a possible life together and I was like, yeah, I can see
00:32:37this.
00:32:39With the blessings of everyone present, it is my joy to declare Chris and Sam as husbands.
00:32:48Woo!
00:32:50Woo!
00:32:50Woo!
00:32:51Woo!
00:32:53You're amazing.
00:32:55Woo!
00:32:55Woo!
00:32:57I'm so happy to be married.
00:32:58I can't believe I've got a husband.
00:33:01The only thing is, I'm not sure, like, where he stands on family and children and how important that is
00:33:09to him.
00:33:09Let's go.
00:33:10Woo!
00:33:12If he doesn't want kids, that would be devastating.
00:33:15We did it.
00:33:16Oh, God.
00:33:28My name is Joel and this is my beautiful wife.
00:33:31Juliet.
00:33:33This is so nice.
00:33:34This is so nice.
00:33:35How lovely.
00:33:36Our recent newlyweds are arriving at their honeymoon destinations.
00:33:41Wow.
00:33:43Welcome to the island.
00:33:45We hope you enjoy your stay with us.
00:33:47Here is a thousand dollars comped on the bar tab.
00:33:50It did not say that.
00:33:51We're in the Gold Coast.
00:33:52How exciting.
00:33:54The more I'm getting to know Joel, I'm realising that he really is extremely charismatic.
00:33:59This is just like our connection.
00:34:01The fizz is still fizzing.
00:34:03So, I'm excited to be with someone like that, too.
00:34:05So happy to be here with you.
00:34:07Thanks.
00:34:07I'm happy to be here with you, too.
00:34:09But it's not the type of vibe where I've wanted to, like, obviously, like, jump his bones right now.
00:34:15I'm very comfortable sleeping in the bed with you tonight.
00:34:19But I guess I just want to, like, take it slow in the intimacy part.
00:34:25You know, when it comes to the bedroom, you're the boss.
00:34:28You're a judge and you set the rules.
00:34:30Okay, good.
00:34:32Trust before lust.
00:34:34Trust before lust.
00:34:35The pact.
00:34:36Trust before lust.
00:34:37Like, I feel safe with you.
00:34:39I feel very comfortable and safe with you.
00:34:41And that's why I feel also comfortable not rushing into it.
00:34:46I have no expectation of intimacy.
00:34:47And I think we're both very aligned on that.
00:34:50That she wants to take it slow.
00:34:51I want to take it slow.
00:34:52So there's no problems with that.
00:34:54But the bed's going to be a little cramped.
00:34:57Because I'm bringing along my little friend, the good old Teddy.
00:35:00You know, Teddy's going to be sleeping with us every night.
00:35:02And, uh, we come as a package.
00:35:15We all need to give a big cheers and a welcome to the new husbands.
00:35:19So, raise a glass.
00:35:22And welcome to the new husbands.
00:35:25Woo!
00:35:29Welcome.
00:35:30Hi.
00:35:31How are you?
00:35:32Good.
00:35:33Yeah, the ceremony was really good.
00:35:35Cheers.
00:35:36Aw, cheers, guys.
00:35:38So, at the moment, I'm feeling very encouraged by the whole situation.
00:35:41When I was talking to Sammy about what kind of person you're looking for,
00:35:44I think we even joked about, like, a farmer, which is crazy.
00:35:48Someone who value their health and fitness as well.
00:35:51So, another box ticked.
00:35:53Yeah, so many values align.
00:35:56Yeah, how old are you?
00:35:5734.
00:35:58Okay.
00:35:58I'm 38.
00:35:59Yeah.
00:35:59Yeah, dating an older man.
00:36:01Okay.
00:36:02Yeah, first time, actually.
00:36:04Right, okay.
00:36:05Yeah, all right.
00:36:06Okay.
00:36:06Yeah, right.
00:36:09I fancy Sam a lot.
00:36:11The experts have done so well.
00:36:13I can totally picture him at the farm, um, with his cute glasses on,
00:36:17reading the paper, and I don't even need to speak with my mum.
00:36:21She is in love with him already, I can tell.
00:36:24How long have you had the farm for?
00:36:26Um, the first farm I bought in 2019.
00:36:29And the one that I'm in now, I've had that for two years.
00:36:31Right.
00:36:32Yeah.
00:36:32And, like, just hearing about, like, you starting your PT business
00:36:36and then buying a farm.
00:36:38I'm like, wait, this guy's like me, but a few years ahead, like...
00:36:40Yeah.
00:36:41Yeah.
00:36:41There's a lot more you don't know yet, either way.
00:36:43Oh, yeah?
00:36:43There's a lot more.
00:36:44There's a lot more, yeah.
00:36:45It's good news?
00:36:46Great news.
00:36:47Okay, good.
00:36:47Yeah.
00:36:49A thousand percent trying to subtly hint where Sam's at with family.
00:36:53But, yeah, I'm pretty old school.
00:36:54My mother's raised me to be very old school.
00:36:56And, you know, I want white picket fence, um, children.
00:37:02Uh, you know, two dogs running around.
00:37:04Like, someone to come home to.
00:37:06Someone who's your teammate.
00:37:08Uh, you know, family.
00:37:12But he's so hard to read.
00:37:15So, I want him to get to know me first, just a little bit.
00:37:17And then I'm gonna tell him about the children.
00:37:20It's funny, when you said, like, old school values, like,
00:37:23when I think of that, I just think of, like, a man and a woman.
00:37:25I was like, I think we're in the wrong place.
00:37:29As Chris delays revealing his baby news.
00:37:36In Shoalhaven, Stephanie and Tyson are bonding over a shared world view.
00:37:41There seems to be a lot of hatred out there.
00:37:43Yeah.
00:37:44The world needs a lot of healing.
00:37:45Um, I think that's why there's a lot of single people out there.
00:37:48I couldn't agree more with you.
00:37:50I think a lot of that comes down to social media as well.
00:37:52They're constantly comparing themselves and, you know,
00:37:55everyone's under the impression that grass is always greener.
00:37:57Yeah.
00:37:58Um, so...
00:37:59Grass is green where you water it.
00:38:00That's a good one.
00:38:03So, what do you want to do this evening?
00:38:06I might go for a bit of a beach walk or, um,
00:38:09maybe hit the gym or something like that.
00:38:10Just to sort of clear the mines.
00:38:14Um, and also, my rig's a lot of maintenance.
00:38:16It's like a Ferrari.
00:38:18Like, you almost don't want to bite.
00:38:21It's that much maintenance.
00:38:21You know what I mean?
00:38:22Oh, my good God.
00:38:24But, um...
00:38:24Listen to him.
00:38:25His approach to conversations is interesting.
00:38:29Thank you so much.
00:38:31He's got a very high opinion of himself.
00:38:33He does not hold back.
00:38:35Does it shock you that you are single?
00:38:38Well, with me, Steph, I'm very fussy with who I bring into my life.
00:38:43And I do.
00:38:44I really feel like I bring a lot to the table.
00:38:46I've seen people.
00:38:47I say, jeez, that person has, like, a girlfriend or a boyfriend, whatever.
00:38:52And you're like, jeez, like, there really is someone out there for everyone.
00:38:56Like...
00:38:56Wait, what's...
00:38:57Sorry, go back to that.
00:38:58What do you mean?
00:38:58Saying, like, sometimes, like, you might see someone who's...
00:39:02I don't know.
00:39:03Someone who you wouldn't think might get a girlfriend.
00:39:07With a girlfriend.
00:39:08Oh, well...
00:39:10Why?
00:39:13Um...
00:39:13Could be a lot of different reasons there, Steph.
00:39:15Use the imagination.
00:39:18It's not always what you say.
00:39:19It's about how you say it.
00:39:21Here's the thing, Steph.
00:39:23Well, this is how it is, Steph.
00:39:24And da-da-da, Steph.
00:39:26One thing's for sure, Steph, you just demolish that.
00:39:29Mmm.
00:39:32Like, what of it, mate?
00:39:35I just think it's typical of him
00:39:38to comment on people's appearance
00:39:40and what they eat and what they do.
00:39:43I think it's very judgemental.
00:39:45Dang, you can eat.
00:39:46You can eat.
00:39:56But before Tyson can continue his commentary
00:39:59on Stephanie's eating habits,
00:40:02the honeymoon box is served.
00:40:10Well, I'm a little bit disappointed there's no chocolate.
00:40:13But I'll read it.
00:40:15What is one important thing I should know about you?
00:40:21Do you have one?
00:40:22I've got one.
00:40:23Do you want me to start?
00:40:23You start?
00:40:24Yeah.
00:40:25I can't think.
00:40:26So, with me, I take care of myself
00:40:29and I take care of my possessions.
00:40:31So, my house is like a prize home.
00:40:33Some people have even said,
00:40:34you've got OCD.
00:40:35I said, I probably do.
00:40:36But I don't look at it that way.
00:40:38I just look at it as a good trait in myself to have.
00:40:42I think I like it.
00:40:43It's funny, though.
00:40:44You leave the toilet seat up.
00:40:46Do I?
00:40:47Yeah.
00:40:47It's gross.
00:40:50Alright.
00:40:51Next question.
00:40:54So, tell me about your relationship history.
00:40:59Oh, well, yeah.
00:41:00You know mine.
00:41:01I don't have one.
00:41:02What about you?
00:41:02For me, recently, I was in somewhat of a relationship.
00:41:08And beautiful girl, but unfortunately,
00:41:10she told me her body count history,
00:41:11like how many guys she slept with.
00:41:13And I think it was like 78 or something crazy.
00:41:17But I had to escort her out of the house because...
00:41:19What?
00:41:20Did you really?
00:41:21Yeah, I sort of don't want to get HIV here.
00:41:22Oh, God, Tyson.
00:41:24Well, it's too many for me.
00:41:25Like, that's a lot of the telewhackers, quite frankly.
00:41:30Tyson, what is your ideal body count for a female?
00:41:33Um...
00:41:34I think my ideal body count for a female would be zero, really.
00:41:37You know, I'm not asking for a virgin
00:41:39because I don't...
00:41:40You know, that's nearly impossible, right?
00:41:42But, um, yeah, having a person with a high body count,
00:41:45it's actually pretty dirty.
00:41:47Do you think if a girl said she'd slept with 80 guys
00:41:50and a guy said that he'd slept with 80 girls,
00:41:52do you think that's different?
00:41:54A little bit.
00:41:55I think a woman can control her urges better than a guy.
00:41:57A guy has high testosterone.
00:41:59You know, we're hunters, we're out there hunting,
00:42:01we're mating, but, you know, we're doing what we've got to do.
00:42:03She should have more self-control.
00:42:04She's not full of testosterone.
00:42:06You guys should have more self-control.
00:42:09I just feel like, as well,
00:42:12if a woman has a high body count,
00:42:13chances are she's got daddy issues too.
00:42:17Just...
00:42:17Coming up...
00:42:19Are you making judgements of me based on that number?
00:42:23A little bit of a problem.
00:42:25Mmm.
00:42:26Stephanie's body count challenges Tyson.
00:42:28I haven't had sex in three years.
00:42:30Well, credit to you.
00:42:31I'm almost tempted to give you a high five, quite frankly.
00:42:34And later...
00:42:36How are you feeling?
00:42:37Good.
00:42:38Big day.
00:42:39Will Chris bite the bullet with his baby news?
00:42:42I don't know how he's going to react.
00:42:44It's a huge risk, but I'm going to have to do it.
00:43:00Let's bring on the next one.
00:43:03Oh, there we go.
00:43:03How many sexual partners have you had?
00:43:09Um...
00:43:09I don't know.
00:43:1020 to 30.
00:43:13It's not that many, I don't think.
00:43:15But that number could be a lot higher.
00:43:17Don't get me wrong.
00:43:18But how many...
00:43:18Yeah, so how many partners do you have, Steph?
00:43:21Oh, you make me laugh.
00:43:22Um, I think I've had about 20.
00:43:25About 20.
00:43:26Okay.
00:43:27How does that make you feel?
00:43:28And obviously these are all partners that, um, you're in a relationship with any of these people, were you?
00:43:33No.
00:43:34About 20.
00:43:35Okay.
00:43:37Are you making judgements of me based on that number?
00:43:41A little bit of a problem.
00:43:42Hmm.
00:43:43What is the problem?
00:43:44Tell me what the problem is.
00:43:45I think the problem is that you've never been in a relationship before, yet you've slept with 20 guys.
00:43:48That's the problem.
00:43:49Yeah.
00:43:49The problem to me is, like, you enjoy lust over actually finding that soulmate.
00:43:54But I've never found that soulmate.
00:43:55Yeah, I know.
00:43:56And a lot of it was, like, in my early 20s.
00:43:59I mean, we all went and partied then.
00:44:00Hmm.
00:44:01You know, he slept with more people than I have, yet my number was too high.
00:44:10I bit my tongue for the sake of maintaining a civil conversation today.
00:44:14I haven't had sex in three years.
00:44:15Well, credit to you.
00:44:16I'm almost tempted to give you a high five, quite frankly.
00:44:18But I just love watching him judge me, because it says so much about him.
00:44:37The sun has set on Sam and Chris's wedding.
00:44:40And the formalities are out of the way.
00:44:43Woo!
00:44:45But with the weight of his baby news still hanging in the air, Chris has pulled Sam aside for a
00:44:52private chat.
00:44:54How are you feeling?
00:44:55Good.
00:44:56Big day.
00:44:57Look, it's gonna be hard.
00:44:59I'm not sure it's the right time.
00:45:01It's a huge risk.
00:45:02But we're moving in together tonight.
00:45:04I'm gonna have to do it.
00:45:06Are you scared about anything moving forward?
00:45:08Or are you like...
00:45:10I don't think so.
00:45:11No?
00:45:11No.
00:45:11Yeah.
00:45:12And how do you feel about the age thing?
00:45:13Like, does that bother you?
00:45:15Uh, I don't think it bothers me.
00:45:17It's just something for me to, like, think about that I've never thought about before.
00:45:20Yeah.
00:45:20Because I've only dated younger people.
00:45:22Yep.
00:45:22And then dating someone a bit older is like, okay, am I fast forwarding, like...
00:45:26Okay.
00:45:26You know?
00:45:27Gotcha.
00:45:28Like, kids and all those things that I do want in my life.
00:45:31For they are gonna happen, like, sooner now.
00:45:35Right.
00:45:36Yeah.
00:45:36Is that a problem?
00:45:38I don't know if it's a problem.
00:45:40Yeah.
00:45:40Yeah.
00:45:40I mean, it could be.
00:45:43It depends how quickly, like, that stuff sort of has to happen to you.
00:45:46Right, okay.
00:45:47I think, you know, even like...
00:45:48Like, give me some examples.
00:45:50I mean, if you wanted kids next year, I don't think that would be something that I would
00:45:53be ready for just yet.
00:45:55Right.
00:45:58Um, yeah, it's a little bit disheartening.
00:46:00It's a little bit sad, to be honest.
00:46:02And so is that a deal breaker, or what's, like...
00:46:04It's so hard to say, like, you know?
00:46:07But that's okay.
00:46:07We can still work with it.
00:46:09That just solidified that it's not the right time to tell him.
00:46:12Um, I'm just gonna get to know him a little bit better, go on the honeymoon, and then I'm
00:46:16gonna pop the kids in there.
00:46:17I'll just do a little soft...
00:46:19I'll do it softly.
00:46:21Yeah.
00:46:21Right now, in my current situation, in my current life, seeing kids next year is not
00:46:26something that I would see.
00:46:27But also, one of the children isn't coming next year.
00:46:30It's coming in a couple of months.
00:46:36The original couples are now in full swing with their monthly milestone tasks.
00:46:43Making an array of playful...
00:46:45Oh, my God, I might be good at this game!
00:46:48...meaningful...
00:46:50...and romantic gestures of appreciation for one another.
00:46:53I'm surprised.
00:46:54He hasn't told me.
00:46:54She doesn't know where she's going.
00:46:57Oh, my God!
00:46:58Babe!
00:47:00Stop!
00:47:01For Julia and Grayson, the opportunity to celebrate has come at a pivotal time.
00:47:07Hiya.
00:47:07Good, how are you?
00:47:08Yeah, I'm okay.
00:47:09How are you feeling?
00:47:10Yeah, good.
00:47:11Yeah?
00:47:11Yeah.
00:47:15Hi!
00:47:17Despite an initial spark...
00:47:19What's your name?
00:47:20I'm Grayson.
00:47:21Grayson?
00:47:22What's your name?
00:47:22This is a very interesting way to wake up.
00:47:26Finding ways to connect physically was a struggle for Julia and Grayson.
00:47:31And even stretching.
00:47:32I'd like to see you progress into a more romantic relationship.
00:47:37It sounds to me like, Julia, you set the pace, and Grayson, then you said, oh, well, okay.
00:47:43I feel powerless over my position in this relationship.
00:47:48As Grayson struggled to make his voice heard...
00:47:51This doesn't need to be a big deal.
00:47:53No, it is a big deal.
00:47:53Because this is something that's important to me.
00:47:56Julia's ultimate fantasy night was a reminder he was stuck firmly in the friend zone.
00:48:02What's the greatest moment you've had on the footy field?
00:48:05Those questions were a bit of a cop-out, to be honest.
00:48:08At school, were you bullied?
00:48:10It's intimacy week.
00:48:11This is designed to help you move into the next stage of your relationship.
00:48:17It makes a smile on your face.
00:48:20Today, despite a turbulent few weeks...
00:48:23Dear Gray.
00:48:24Julia has chosen to mark the one-month milestone with a heartfelt letter.
00:48:29What a wild ride this has been thus far.
00:48:32It feels like I've known you for years and it's only been a month.
00:48:36Grace and I, we've been a bit up and down.
00:48:38But writing letters is definitely a love language of mine.
00:48:42I chose to participate in this experiment to find a deep soul connection with someone.
00:48:47I connect through words and so having something to read to him feels authentic.
00:48:52We have grown so much separately and together.
00:48:55I've seen you lean in and I have too with everything we have.
00:48:59When Jules does nice things like this, I get those little, you know, those little butterflies and I get excited
00:49:05and I'm like,
00:49:06Well, this is great.
00:49:07Let's build on this.
00:49:08Let's go.
00:49:10Let's go.
00:49:10However, that burning desire we have both spoken about...
00:49:17Doesn't seem to be growing.
00:49:21Our moments of true connection have been fleeting.
00:49:25Despite us making progress in many ways...
00:49:28At this stage, a flame of mutual chemistry hasn't been ignited and I don't wanna force anything.
00:49:37what what is this i need to choose myself i must listen to my intuition
00:49:43i just feel really confused to be honest
00:49:46um i actually thought we were making some progress in our relationship
00:50:06um thanks for being open and yeah for taking the time to write that i just really am hurt
00:50:16i'm sad i came here to fall in love with someone
00:50:22and uh it hasn't you know it's just i yeah i i feel like i just don't think that the
00:50:31effort's been met
00:50:32you know help me understand why this hasn't worked for us
00:50:41relationships and connecting are incredibly personal and nuanced i i don't really i just
00:50:48don't that burning desire that we keep discussing just isn't there for me
00:50:57i knew that a conversation was necessary at this point in the experiment for me i think
00:51:04that romantic side wasn't really being progressed and it really sort of sunk in that this is
00:51:09probably not my forever person
00:51:13tell me have you put your heart and soul into this experiment i have and i'm letting you know
00:51:18that i'm i'm not feeling like this is something that i that is right for me yeah and that's fine
00:51:25that's fine if it's not right but can you walk away from the experiment saying i gave my absolute
00:51:30everything to this yes really yeah i'm i'm the one that's made this place here a home i've showed up
00:51:40for you and been your i've been your safe place and i know that i've supported you through all your
00:51:45needs
00:51:45not true i bring you a coffee home every month yes it is true julia it is i'm just just
00:51:49take some
00:51:50responsibility you've you've been here but you haven't been i you haven't been here i disagree
00:51:57for me it hasn't progressed and i don't want to waste your time we have you're wasting my time
00:52:07you're wasting my time since i reckon you've probably wasted my time since
00:52:11the honeymoon because you've tippy-toed around this whole thing oh great i'm so disappointed
00:52:20i care about it a lot i really do yeah it's like it's it's hard
00:52:37um uh i was really hopeful and unfortunately it hasn't worked out for me

00:57:48great success great success yes where's the mankini i like you people
00:57:53it was nice i felt the bond
00:57:56it's good good vibes
00:57:59i haven't had sex in a long time so obviously uh you know you can get a bit excited with
00:58:05even the
00:58:06the sight of a woman let alone the touch and the feel up close so uh
00:58:10there you go
00:58:11i had to delay my exit out of the pool let's say
00:58:19read between those lines
00:58:24as things heat up on the gold coast
00:58:27in shoalhaven stephanie and tyson's relationship is getting frostier by the minute
00:58:33following a tense honeymoon box
00:58:36it's pretty bad weather
00:58:46how are you feeling
00:58:47how am i feeling um i'm still feeling just a little bit out of place
00:58:55um so what i'm going to do is i'm just going to go to the gym for a couple hours
00:58:59there's many other places i'd rather be right now if i'm being honest with you
00:59:03um just to clear my head so i'm going to go to the gym now just for a couple hours
00:59:06just to um
00:59:08get away from death
00:59:11it'll be good for you just to clear your head and just to think about things and ponder
00:59:15um and just to see like yeah where we're at with everything
00:59:26is it the situation or is it me or is it both
00:59:31um i'll probably say it's you
00:59:33me yeah well the situation as well like it's everything
00:59:36it's everything all at once like so what about me is it
00:59:42well i think obviously we've got dominant personalities
00:59:45yeah yeah see look i'm just going to stop you there this is where i find you to be a
00:59:50bit of a
00:59:51walking contradiction to be honest because how so
00:59:55because you say you want someone who's driven and ambitious and blah blah blah but then you're also
01:00:00saying i want like a stay-at-home mom that's gonna you know it just doesn't make sense to me
01:00:09like i just like i don't think you actually know what you really want
01:00:12i do i do know what i want i do want to stay at home mom and she can have
01:00:15a side hustle that's great
01:00:16but like i've always said i'm the provider i'm the protector
01:00:20okay
01:00:22interesting
01:00:24so i know exactly what i want in my wife
01:00:27someone that's submissive um someone that's not going to say would you be a house husband
01:00:32um once again that gives off um it's sort of it's emasculating towards me
01:00:36i'm not a maid you know i'm not doing that
01:00:39so what i'm going to do is i'm going to go to the gym
01:00:41yeah i think that's a good idea
01:00:43and you can stay here do what you want
01:00:48cool
01:01:00she's a very driven girl and look that's great and i do want a driven girl but
01:01:05i don't know she brings like this dominance thing to the relationship
01:01:09and i want to be the one essentially calling the shots
01:01:14if she's going to bring that as well we're definitely going to clash
01:01:23don't get me wrong steph like i think it's great that you're a business woman and all
01:01:30but you just come across in the relationship very masculine
01:01:36well that's your perception
01:01:38well when masculine energy comes to relationship that's that's just the problem and sometimes i feel
01:01:42that with you i feel like it makes you feel emasculated emasculated no no i think it's just
01:01:48you bring masculine energy to relationship that's what i think
01:01:53sounds like a you problem not a me problem
01:01:55well it's a you problem because it won't work out
01:01:59and you're missing out on all this so
01:02:00oh no it's a you problem not me sweetheart
01:02:04anyway
01:02:04wow
01:02:05oh wow
01:02:06someone thinks i want it himself
01:02:09my blood is boiling
01:02:13i don't know who he thinks he's like talking to
01:02:23he's just i think he's a bloody immature child to be honest

01:05:22just yet
01:05:23i feel like i want to get to know you a little bit better
01:05:26i still feel like it's not the right time to tell him
01:05:29yeah i just want to get a bit further in
01:05:31yeah
01:05:32i just feel like it wouldn't give it wouldn't be respectful for
01:05:37wouldn't be respectful for myself it wouldn't be respectful for the children
01:05:40i just i don't know i just some you know some some situations with
01:05:44friends and family members it seems right this just doesn't seem
01:05:47right to tell him just yet
01:05:51i will just tell you that um yeah i just you know i've had a lot of heartbreak and failed
01:05:56relationships and i just want to do the right thing and
01:05:58yeah i get that yeah i don't feel any like rush or insecurities around each other holding
01:06:06something to hold your hand and say something i feel like there's every chance this could work out
01:06:11there's so many reasons it could it could i'm having a great time yeah i hope you you can see
01:06:17that
01:06:17like yeah like we get along yeah it's his news he will share it we'll get there when we get
01:06:23there
01:06:24it's kind of nice because i feel like maybe shows the secure position that chris is putting me in as
01:06:29a partner
01:06:30thank you so much appreciate that he will um he'll open up when he's ready thank you
01:06:37as chris delays his baby news once again
01:06:43in shoalhaven tyson has returned to wife stephanie at the villa
01:06:49to apologize for their earlier disagreement
01:06:52hey steph hey how'd you go
01:06:55you all right to talk for a sec hey you all right to have a little chat yeah
01:06:58ah cool
01:07:01i've been thinking about it you know in my mind i shouldn't have made a smart ass remark to you
01:07:07before i just got caught up in my own head and um yeah it was a bit sort of immature
01:07:13on my behalf
01:07:15um so what i'd like to do is just start fresh start again and maybe we can stop for now
01:07:21talking
01:07:22about you know what what you bring to the table what i bring to the table and just try and
01:07:26enjoy
01:07:26this honeymoon at least because i feel like you know talking about you know masculine energy feminine
01:07:33and energy all this sort of stuff i think it's just going to cause more conflict yeah i mean it's
01:07:38that's something that you continue to bring up though i'm not talking about yeah well okay whatever
01:07:42but anyway what i'm trying to say is i'd just like to start fresh and i think as well
01:07:47it'd be good to potentially get a separate room yeah i mean unless you're prepared to sleep on the
01:07:52couch i couldn't agree more yeah well you could also sleep on the couch too
01:08:00but whatever that may be i think i'm just going to stop you there like you like to say that
01:08:07you
01:08:07you know you'd like to be the jet like the gentleman and you know provide for a woman yet
01:08:13you wouldn't be prepared to like offer me like the bed and you're saying well you could sleep on the
01:08:17couch too like should she come across with an attitude like oh you know i'm taking the bed like
01:08:21you're having the couch like once again masculine energy very demanding um i could say the same about
01:08:27you tyson it's not masculine at all to call someone out on their behavior just the way that
01:08:34you speak to me and come in and like direct conversation he yeah he comes in he controls the
01:08:39room he says how it's going to be i just think he wants someone that he can just tell what
01:08:44to do
01:08:44all the time and i'm sorry it's not happening buddy like
01:08:51let's just move on from that i mean it's just going to come up again isn't it well
01:08:54because you can't get off the topic of masculine energy okay well that is true but the thing is
01:08:59i'd rather just start fresh i'd rather not bring that up anymore so i'm not going to bring it up
01:09:03if you don't bring it up i won't bring it up i've never brought it up
01:09:08but also i think like you're apologizing for the way that you reacted before firing off with a smart
01:09:14ass comment like you know that's going to be your lost sweetheart like i don't know who you think
01:09:19you're talking to but clearly to me that indicates that you don't like to be challenged by a woman
01:09:28i think she tries to talk to me like she's figured me out and she knows me when clearly she
01:09:33doesn't
01:09:34like do you are you looking for someone who's going to like bow down at your feet and like treat
01:09:38like a king
01:09:41i clearly don't want a slave for a wife um if anything you know my wife can work like that's
01:09:47great
01:09:50all's i want is just a submissive wife but once again the challenge like that's the masculine energy
01:09:56coming out of you once again no it's just an adult having a conversation i'm not looking for a
01:10:01challenge i'm looking for a you're looking for someone who's just going to bow down at your feet
01:10:05no and treat you like a king definitely not definitely not okay so what does submissive
01:10:10look like to you then the opposite of you
01:10:23i'm not looking for a challenge i'm looking for a you're looking for someone who's just going to bow
01:10:27down at your feet and treat you like a king definitely not definitely not okay so what does
01:10:32submissive look like to you then the opposite of you to me a submissive woman would be someone that's
01:10:38really easy going and sweet to talk to um someone that wants to cook for me not constantly trying to
01:10:46compete against me okay so someone who's not going to challenge you when you are coming at me with
01:10:52so obviously you're trying to you're trying to challenge me and you're very independent i can
01:10:56see that you haven't been in a relationship your whole life that's got nothing to do with
01:11:00independence okay but i'm just saying i think it's i can hold my own and you want someone who
01:11:05wants to be run by you that does not work say it wouldn't say run i'd say just more submissive
01:11:12i'm just trying to rectify the issue you're always trying to challenge me yeah because i'm pulling you
01:11:18off on your bullshit i think in the real world he would like his wife to just keep her mouth
01:11:22shut
01:11:23what bullshit the way that you're coming at me right now he he honestly needs someone who will just
01:11:30bow down to his feet and praise him for the amazing god gift that he is me challenging you on
01:11:41what you're
01:11:42saying and getting you to think about things in a different way you don't like you don't like to be
01:11:49challenged in your thinking you like it your way and that's it it's very clear to me that it's tyson's
01:11:58way and only tyson's way and if you don't get your way you throw your toys out of the cot
01:12:02let's just not
01:12:03bring it up anymore okay i'm going to go to a different room i think we should have a great
01:12:06idea
01:12:07i reckon it's the best idea i've had all yeah all experiment if you really want to know i'm over
01:12:11it
01:12:11i'm not going to lie from the get-go she's brought masculine energy to this relationship and i think
01:12:18she needs to get some constructive criticism from the experts who have effective communication obviously
01:12:24i'm going to see you tomorrow okay yeah i don't want a loud mouth i don't want someone that thinks
01:12:30they're going to boss me around if we're both getting wound up obviously learn to you know stay quiet
01:12:37i'll uh i'll see you tomorrow catch you later buddy
01:12:52we have three new couples welcome to the experiment new love is served i want submissive bias otherwise we
01:13:02do you say submissive i'm just a lone lion trying to defend myself
