00:00:00Four weeks ago...
00:00:01Ladies!
00:00:08Your match.
00:00:10He no longer wanted to be a part of the experiment.
00:00:13It was a devastating start to the experiment for Michael.
00:00:17I feel like somebody just ripped my heart out of my chest.
00:00:19And then last night...
00:00:21Why didn't you apologise to Tim when you sat down here tonight?
00:00:25He yelled at me.
00:00:27An intense second commitment ceremony...
00:00:30Do you really want to be here?
00:00:33..saw some couples celebrate their love.
00:00:36I'm head over heels, mate.
00:00:39I love you guys. You're the best.
00:00:41We gazed, we hugged, we sucked, we f***ed, we did everything.
00:00:45Oh, my God!
00:00:49Before Timothy...
00:00:50I don't regret anything I said.
00:00:53..received a smackdown from Lucinda.
00:00:55What do you actually want to be projecting in your frequency?
00:01:00But despite their tension...
00:01:02..the pair lived to fight another day...
00:01:06..stay...
00:01:09..tonight...
00:01:09I've never felt so vulnerable in my whole life.
00:01:13..from heartbreak...
00:01:14It really left me hurt and shattered.
00:01:17..to hope.
00:01:18I'm extremely blessed that the experts found me a new match.
00:01:22Michael gets his second chance at true love.
00:01:26I truly want to find somebody and have that fairytale ending with kids.
00:01:33..and two new couples enter the experiment.
00:01:37I am a medium.
00:01:39I'll get psychic downloads.
00:01:41But can this psychic pride...
00:01:43Sure, sure!
00:01:46Yeah!
00:01:47..win over her husband...
00:01:49OK, I'm going to shut up now.
00:01:51..and the sceptics...
00:01:53What's a medium, like a clothes size?
00:01:55..I just don't want her vibes on me.
00:01:59Before...
00:02:00Why am I bored?
00:02:01What do you mean?
00:02:02I'm trying to organise these things to make you happy...
00:02:04..when you don't look like you're having fun.
00:02:06..the most unexpected confrontation.
00:02:09Is this a sudden ending...
00:02:11Honey, are you OK?
00:02:12..for one of our most beloved couples?
00:02:15We done?
00:02:28It's the morning after what was an intense...
00:02:31..and brutally honest commitment ceremony.
00:02:34And while some participants quietly reflect on their behaviour...
00:02:41..others are trying to salvage the wreckage.
00:02:44I wrote you a letter.
00:02:45First and foremost, I want to apologise...
00:02:48..for not making you feel hurt.
00:02:50I never, ever want to make anyone feel like that.
00:02:53I find it hard to let people in...
00:02:56..especially good men.
00:02:57It feels foreign to me to be in a relationship...
00:02:59..where a man is putting in all this effort...
00:03:02..and wants this much affection from me.
00:03:04I told you about my ex...
00:03:06..and how I was quite dependent on that relationship...
00:03:10..and I was the one that wanted affection from him...
00:03:12..and I didn't get it.
00:03:13I'm going to try my best to be more open to this...
00:03:16..and to give it a real shot.
00:03:18I would hope you know I never mean to hurt you.
00:03:20So I'm sorry.
00:03:22I'll make it up to you.
00:03:24Sarah, you're a spicy wifey.
00:03:28Aw.
00:03:30That was really sweet.
00:03:35It was heartfelt.
00:03:36It was a heartfelt letter.
00:03:38So, you know, she's reading it out to me...
00:03:39..and she's getting emotional and teary...
00:03:41..and I have not seen her be open and vulnerable like that with me at all.
00:03:45So it was nice for me to see that because it actually showed me that she is actually trying and
00:03:52I appreciate that.
00:03:55As Sarah and Tim call a truce, Cassandra and Tristan's relationship has taken an unexpected turn for the worse.
00:04:03What's up, Cass?
00:04:05Are you all good?
00:04:07What's...what's up?
00:04:08No, I just, um...
00:04:11Yeah, I was just thinking about the ceremony.
00:04:14At last night's commitment ceremony, Cassandra had the opportunity to share her feelings about her relationship with Tristan.
00:04:22What is it that you need at this point from Tristan?
00:04:26He is really trying, but I would like just a bit more touches and kisses and stuff.
00:04:31A fantastic technique here is to listen to the feedback that she gives you.
00:04:35Take it at face value and do more of that.
00:04:38Yeah, OK.
00:04:38Is what she's saying.
00:04:39OK.
00:04:41But after agreeing to step up the intimacy, Tristan has taken a step in the wrong direction.
00:04:48Yeah, Tristan...
00:04:51Tristan slept on the couch last night.
00:04:54Did you sleep well?
00:04:55Yeah, I slept good.
00:04:57Yeah.
00:04:57Um, obviously slept on the couch last night.
00:04:59I just needed some space, but, like, um, I'm definitely not going to do that again because your reaction to
00:05:04that was not good.
00:05:05So, I can tell you're very angry and pissed off.
00:05:10I'm definitely not angry and pissed off.
00:05:14I'm not angry.
00:05:15I just want affection, touch, closeness, but it's still just time for Tristan.
00:05:24It just makes me so happy, and I love being around him.
00:05:28But kissing, hugging, cuddling, we don't do any of that stuff.
00:05:33Obviously, I've got some issues, but I'm just not going to bring them to the table.
00:05:36I'm just...it's fine.
00:05:39I have really been so patient because I want the intimacy to grow between us, but I feel like we're
00:05:46going backwards.
00:05:51While Cassandra and Tristan's marriage is continuing to face problems, a familiar face is about to re-enter the experiment.
00:05:59After his first experience was over before it began.
00:06:08It's your last night as a single man.
00:06:14Yes, it is my last night as a single man, and I don't think I can be more prepared to
00:06:21jump into the marriage life.
00:06:25Four weeks ago, a hopeful and excited groom-to-be, Michael, entered the initial stages of the experiment.
00:06:37I don't know if this is the small-town boy in me, but I feel like I've known that I
00:06:41wanted a family since I was, like, 16.
00:06:45I can always just remember saying, one day I want a family and kids, one day I want a family
00:06:49and kids, and one day I'm going to have a family and kids.
00:06:54And after being matched by the experts, a confident Michael entered the hen's night, ready to begin his journey to
00:07:02find love.
00:07:03Ladies, I am the new bride.
00:07:14But shockingly for Michael, his experience unfolded in a way nobody saw coming.
00:07:23Well, Michael, I've got some real disappointing and shocking news.
00:07:3348 hours after the Bucks and hen's night, your match.
00:07:41How are you, man?
00:07:42Good. Simon.
00:07:44You look as nervous as me.
00:07:45Oh, yeah.
00:07:46Decided to send us an email saying he no longer wanted to be a part of the experiment.
00:08:01I feel like somebody just ripped my heart out of my chest.
00:08:07But four weeks later, there's hope for Michael, as he's about to re-enter the experiment and get his second
00:08:14chance at true love.
00:08:16Thanks to the experts finding him a brand new match.
00:08:21Michael is here to find love.
00:08:23He is honest, open-minded, has a big heart and has strong core values.
00:08:28There was no way we were going to let Michael miss out on his chance of finding his happily ever
00:08:34after.
00:08:34So following an extensive and thorough fresh search, we found Michael a new match.
00:08:54I'm currently living in Melbourne, but I'm originally from Newark, Ohio.
00:08:58So Newark is a very small, close-knit town.
00:09:01It's probably 50 years still behind the rest of the United States, sadly.
00:09:04So a lot of close-minded thinkers.
00:09:07Starting out as a young kid, I do remember being called racial slurs, not being accepted for just the color
00:09:13of my skin.
00:09:15Then to add an extra layer, I'm homosexual.
00:09:19So now I have this double whammy.
00:09:21So there was a lot of challenging times that I sometimes had to fight my way through.
00:09:28But growing up, I feel like it made me really resilient, who I am today.
00:09:32Building a family is extremely important to me.
00:09:35I would say it's one of my top priorities.
00:09:37I grew up with a large family.
00:09:40I have two sisters, three brothers.
00:09:43I'm the oldest of 20-plus grandchildren, so I've always seen myself as a father figure.
00:09:49Give me a hug.
00:09:52I am also a sperm donor.
00:09:56Nicole and Natalie, they are the birth mothers of my donor babies.
00:10:01I consider them family.
00:10:02I'm happy that I was able to give you the gift of life, not only once, but twice.
00:10:06We have two little ones running around out there.
00:10:09He's given us the greatest gift.
00:10:10I couldn't ask for anything more.
00:10:12I know, he's just so special.
00:10:13He's just incredible.
00:10:14I'm so happy for him to have this experience, to be able to have that as well.
00:10:17Seeing you with the girls has inspired me to want my own family.
00:10:21I'm happy that I was able to help provide that for them.
00:10:24But I want that family experience for myself as well.
00:10:30It's so frustrating knowing exactly what you want and going on day after day after day after day after day.
00:10:36And it's just nothing's ticking or nothing's rolling over or nothing carries on as well.
00:10:42You think you find somebody, and then you're ghosted.
00:10:45You think you like somebody because of an online chat, and in person they're shit.
00:10:50Those moments that you feel, man, what am I doing wrong?
00:10:55Or how come nobody's found me yet?
00:10:57First and foremost, they have to be family-oriented.
00:11:00Like, I need a man that wants a family, loves his family.
00:11:04He's here for love, happiness, and fairytale ending.
00:11:07I'm full of love and ready for it, and I just can't find the right one.
00:11:18We were determined to find Michael another match, and I think we did.
00:11:24Michael is absolutely worth it.
00:11:26We love him.
00:11:27He's authentic.
00:11:28He's genuine.
00:11:29He's a family man and someone who has so much love to give a relationship.
00:11:34To be clear, although this new match wasn't the initial choice for Michael, he is no less
00:11:41a match for him moving forward.
00:11:43In fact, in terms of compatibility, he's as good, if not better, and we're really excited
00:11:49about it.
00:11:50Absolutely.
00:11:52And Michael's mystery new match will be unveiled the very moment they meet and marry at first
00:12:00sight.
00:12:25It feels very real right now.
00:12:29The moment has come that I am now about to get married to a stranger, and I can't help
00:12:35but try to visualize this boy.
00:12:37I'm trying to figure out how tall this guy is, and this is his eye color, or what color
00:12:43is his hair, and, you know, what's his little quirks he might have?
00:12:46It's just crazy to think that it's now here and happening.
00:12:58I can just feel my heart pounding out of my chest right now.
00:13:08I've had to deal with a rollercoaster of emotions through this.
00:13:12I've had a guy that I was ready to give my all to, pull out.
00:13:18It made me really question if I was worthy of love and marriage.
00:13:23I'm feeling extremely blessed that the experts found me a new match, and ready to meet the
00:13:30man in my dreams.
00:13:30Oh, my God.
00:13:33Oh, my God.
00:13:36Oh, my God.
00:13:37Oh, my God.
00:13:38Oh, my God.
00:13:38I know you guys.
00:13:39Hey.
00:13:40Oh, my God.
00:13:41I know you guys.
00:13:43Hey.
00:13:43Oh, my God.
00:13:43I know you guys.
00:13:44You look gorgeous, boo.
00:13:47Oh, the nerves have kicked in.
00:13:52And you guys are mom and dad?
00:13:55Yeah.
00:13:55Yes?
00:13:56Lovely to meet you.
00:13:57Lovely to meet you, too.
00:14:06Hi.
00:14:07Hi.
00:14:12Hey.
00:14:13Thank you, sir.
00:14:15You guys look lovely.
00:14:23I can feel my body.
00:14:24It's like, poop, poop, poop, poop, poop, poop.
00:14:25You've got this.
00:14:26You've got this, boo.
00:14:27Yeah.
00:14:28It's a little hot up here now.
00:14:30Just got to get hold on.
00:14:49I truly want to find somebody and have that fairytale ending with kids and a relationship,
00:14:54but I'm scared of being let down again.
00:14:59And my mind is just racing with doubts.
00:15:03And the moment's coming.
00:15:04Like, what if this guy now turns around and decides he's nervous?
00:15:09What if this guy doesn't like what he sees when I turn around?
00:15:13What if his family don't like what they see standing at the end?
00:15:17There are so many things just spreading to my mind,
00:15:19and I've never felt so vulnerable in my whole life.
00:15:23I'm panicking on the side.
00:15:25Ooh.
00:15:26How's my face look?
00:15:29Oh, God.
00:15:31Here we go.
00:15:36We're coming.
00:15:40Oh, God.
00:15:53And the moment's coming.
00:15:56Oh, God.
00:15:57That's what happens.
00:16:02Here we go.
00:16:15Oh.
00:16:16Hi.
00:16:18Hey.
00:16:19Hi.
00:16:20How are you?
00:16:22Wow.
00:16:23Lovely to meet you too!
00:16:39I'm Stephen, I'm 26 and I'm a hairdresser from Perth. I've been a hairdresser for 10
00:16:44years. It's my creative outlet. I love it. I'm able to live a very comfortable life because
00:16:49of that. I have the best clients that are super fun and, yeah, I've got an awesome work crew.
00:16:58Dig in. My family's huge. I am one of eight siblings, so five of us from the first marriage
00:17:06and then my stepdad had two kids coming into our lives and then my mum and stepdad had a
00:17:13daughter together, so we're a blended family. With nieces, nephews, partners, there's 26
00:17:20of us. Also, I'm a twin. We are identical. My family mean the world to me.
00:17:28Can you tell me a bit about your scarf? I was in a car accident when I was eight. It
00:17:34was a pretty hectic accident. It was a front-on collision on the freeway. I remember waking
00:17:40up to the sound of mum screaming. Unfortunately, the guy that did crash into us, he passed away.
00:17:48The recovery for me was a lot more intense, I think, than the incident itself. Going to school
00:17:54for the first time and the kids being scared to be around me. Yeah, the reality of like,
00:17:58this is what I look like now. This is what everyone else is seeing. As you get older and you
00:18:04start
00:18:04being attracted to people and comments that are made, it's like, is this going to affect me forever?
00:18:10So yeah, that's definitely something I've carried with me. I started preparing myself
00:18:15from a very young age of, I'm potentially going to get rejected. But I think I've got an awesome
00:18:21family that we're super supportive and no one allowed me to dwell in my own sorrow. It was like,
00:18:27well, this has happened, we move on. And I'm really thankful for that.
00:18:34I've been single for a really long time. I've been single for five years.
00:18:37It is a very shallow pool of dating in Perth. The biggest deterrent I have found is that
00:18:45no one seems to be on board with the idea of one person forever. Everyone's wanting an open
00:18:51relationship and not wanting monogamy. And that's hugely important to me.
00:18:58Ideally, I'd have a kid tomorrow. Like I love kids. And I would love to have some of my own.
00:19:06Yeah, the white picket fence, the house and the dog would be amazing.
00:19:10I'm going into this experiment to come out the other side with a life partner,
00:19:15someone who wants a family, his family is so important to him.
00:19:19So yeah, if that's the case, I will be wrapped. The first interaction will be huge. I hope that
00:19:26I am lucky that I meet someone that I do click with and there is that spark.
00:19:35You look good. You're very nice.
00:19:37Yes, you as well. I love your skin. Sorry, I'm touchy-feely. It's like all over here.
00:19:42That's a good sign.
00:19:44I love your skin.
00:19:45He is stunning. Great hair, like locks and beautiful eyes, warm smile. It just all clicked.
00:19:53Like this is now finally happening. It was a good grip there.
00:19:56Yeah, that actually hurt my head a little bit.
00:20:00First impression, really good looking guy. I love, I love an accent. So yeah, it just,
00:20:08it did shock me in a really good way. He's definitely my type. Yeah, I wasn't nervous before,
00:20:15but now I'm shitting myself. Yeah, exactly the same. I thought that's cool.
00:20:20Oh, he's lovely. I like him. Absolutely proud of Stephen. This is really out of his comfort zone
00:20:27and he certainly does deserve love. He does. He's a good boy. He loves his family and he has been
00:20:35hurt
00:20:35in the past. So doing something like this is huge. It's huge.
00:20:42We'll be good. Good morning. Got your back. You got my back. Yeah, I was wearing this together.
00:20:52Welcome everyone to this beautiful occasion as we gather here today to witness
00:20:58and celebrate the joining of two souls, Michael and Stephen, in the bond of marriage.
00:21:06I now invite you to share your personal commitments to each other. Thank you. Wish me luck.
00:21:13I got this. Michael, we're both taking a huge leap into the unknown and that's terrifying,
00:21:20but also exciting. I come from a big, loud Italian family and I'm one of eight children. So buckle up.
00:21:28Wow. Yeah. My family mean the world to me. So the dream is to find someone who's happy to be
00:21:33a part of
00:21:34that and embrace the chaos. It's wild. This is not at all how I thought I was going to meet
00:21:41my husband,
00:21:42but I do believe everything happens for a reason and I'm excited to share this with you.
00:21:48I promise to be honest and respectful, to always have your back. I promise to give this my all
00:21:54and do my best to let down my guard to truly let you in. I can't wait to share this
00:21:59amazing crazy journey
00:22:00together.
00:22:03Those are beautiful. Thanks, you're going through it.
00:22:06Thanks. Thanks.
00:22:09Thanks. His vows were actually really sweet. Family is a massive thing for me. Like they
00:22:13either need to want a family, have a big family that I can fit into, which he has eight siblings,
00:22:18so that's insane. I mean, again, yeah, I come from a large family myself, so
00:22:23it's a lot of big personalities around. You have to know how to deal with a lot of people,
00:22:27so he knows how to deal with it. I know how to deal with it. I feel like his match
00:22:31made in heaven.
00:22:35Okay. Standing here with you today means that both the experts in the universe have matched me with
00:22:39somebody who is adventurous, vulnerable, confident, and trusting. Also, you're someone that knows how
00:22:45to say yes to me. So I want to start by saying thank you. You're my type of guy. Let's
00:22:50get married.
00:22:53I grew up on the other side of the world, surrounded by a strong woman and sometimes
00:22:56literally fighting my way through problems. However, that small town Ohio boy can never
00:23:01have dreamt of standing here in front of this gorgeous boy in Australia about to get married
00:23:06in these surreal circumstances. If I could tell that boy anything about life now, I'd say take what makes
00:23:13you different from the other little boys and embrace it. Boys can love boys too,
00:23:18and you're going to marry the perfect match someday. Being so far from my family has become my normal,
00:23:24but now my heart is telling me it's time to build a family I can call my own. Wherever we
00:23:29go,
00:23:29we'll go together. Everything I've been through has brought me across the world standing in front of you
00:23:34today. I'm ready to say yes to my next adventure. I'm intrigued by him. I really, really am excited
00:23:47to get to know him. Already, I'm so fascinated by him as a person. So yeah, the spark is definitely
00:23:56igniting. Michael, will you take Stephen to be your husband? Will you promise to love and respect him,
00:24:03to be honest with him and to stand by him through whatever may come for as long as you both
00:24:08shall
00:24:09live? I do. And Stephen, will you take Michael to be your husband, to stand by him through whatever
00:24:19may come for as long as you both shall live? I do. It now gives me great pleasure to pronounce
00:24:30you
00:24:30your husband, to be married. You may now kiss.
00:24:47I've had one guy pull out, so I've had my expectations let down. And now again, this guy's come through,
00:24:55and Stephen's ten times better than I expected him to be. Seems like he's literally made for me.
00:25:06Next, an unforgettable new bride enters the experiment. I'm Madeline. I'm annoying.
00:25:17She's a lot. Georgia! She started crying. I never want you to try to be anything other than who you
00:25:24are.
00:25:24And then she started laughing. Yeah! Buckle up, Ash. Buckle up, buddy. Ooh. And later...
00:25:32I'm just trying to figure out what you want, and it's like exhausting. An unexpected confrontation puts
00:25:37Cassandra and Tristan's marriage in jeopardy. I'm speeding myself up, and that's now starting to drain me.
00:25:42You're so drained. I'm like, drained for what? I need a break. Yeah.
00:25:59It's a new day at Skysweeps, and some of the OG couples have received a special delivery.
00:26:06We have a letter. But this is no ordinary letter. Yes. Oh, the writing's getting smaller.
00:26:15The experts invite you to celebrate the wedding of... Question mark and question mark.
00:26:21Date. Today. Bless. Yes. Okay, exciting.
00:26:27Just like throws me back to our wedding day. My knee was shaken.
00:26:32I know how they're feeling. It's like the complete unknown. It's... Will they be what I asked for?
00:26:39Will they not be what I asked for? I want some, like... I want some new blood. Some fresh blood.
00:26:44You want fresh meat? Fresh meat. Bring it on. What's wrong with the meat you've got?
00:26:48Well, I'm happy with my meat, but I need, like, fresh meat in the experiment.
00:26:53With half of the couples invited to today's ceremony, they excitedly race to get wedding ready.
00:26:59We're off to a wedding. Oh!
00:27:05And the time has arrived to unveil the first new bride-to-be.
00:27:10My name's Madeline. I'm 30, and I'm from Melbourne, Victoria.
00:27:15Why marry at first sight and why now? I want a connection. I want to be in love again.
00:27:24I lived with someone for nine years. I was in a long-term relationship. I loved being in love.
00:27:29I love the team aspect of a relationship, and I haven't had that in so long. Like,
00:27:33and I remember that feeling, and it's like, I love that feeling of, like, having your, like,
00:27:40person. Buying flowers and, like, taking care of the house and having that beautiful person there.
00:27:44Like, I love that. And I really miss that.
00:27:48What are you hoping for then? What does the future look like?
00:27:52I would love, like, a family and babies. Now I look at people that have kids, and I look at
00:27:58people that
00:27:59are doing, like, wholesome things. And I'm like, I don't know. I just want that for me.
00:28:08Eager to find a partner and start a family, Madeline is ready to open herself up to love.
00:28:14But as one of the most unique participants, she brings with her a gift that is both a blessing
00:28:20and a curse.
00:28:23I am a psychic medium. I'm a weird one. I was an actress for a long time, an artist,
00:28:30but I also don't necessarily love to, like, own that, I guess, in a way.
00:28:37I am a medium, first and foremost. So I feel like that's a lot of, like, a part of my
00:28:43identity.
00:28:44Can you tell me about being a medium?
00:28:46Yeah, so I didn't always have it at all. When my grandfather passed away, that's when it came
00:28:52really strong. Straight away, I was getting, like, visions. And then, yeah, I started to audibly hear.
00:29:01So you audibly hear things? I do, yeah.
00:29:05Like, I'll get psychic downloads from my guides. They're telling me information that is helpful
00:29:11for me to know. It's like, it comes through me. Psychic vision, what's happening? Okay,
00:29:17shut up. Leave me alone. Seriously. See what I'm saying? They are, they're guiding me now.
00:29:22I'm so not the normal human being in the sense that it's like, I am so sensitive when it comes
00:29:28to,
00:29:28like, energy. I pick up vibes on people. People are really scared sometimes because you know a lot.
00:29:36You do know people's names. You do know what they're doing. You do know where they've been.
00:29:41You do know what they shouldn't be doing. You know what I mean? Knowing about things can be so fun.
00:29:46However, becoming a medium really isolated me.
00:29:51Yeah, my gift is something that I feel like has really changed me in relationships because a lot
00:29:58of people don't really understand it or they don't really either believe it or they really believe it.
00:30:06And then they're really relying on me. So it's like, it's a very hard thing for me with people
00:30:14in general. And so that's why it's hard for me because becoming a medium made me really lonely.
00:30:24What are you, what are you hoping for in a partner? What are you hoping for in a husband?
00:30:28I'm looking for a kind soul. Someone who accepts me for me because what I do might be overwhelming
00:30:38sometimes. So it's like, I need someone who's like able to cope with that and someone who is proud of
00:30:45who I am. So I think I want someone who is just a really kind person beyond all else.
00:30:55What are your best qualities Ash? My best qualities would be my heart, like my kind heart
00:31:01and my empathy. That's definitely my best qualities. Where does that come from? It comes from my mum.
00:31:07My mum is the sweetest lady in the world. She has a big heart. She would give you the shirt
00:31:12off her
00:31:12back even though she doesn't have a lot. Everything good that's in me comes from her. So right now I
00:31:19live
00:31:19with my dad and my step mum and my two little brothers. I'm helping raise my two little brothers,
00:31:25Junior and Jet, which are 12 and seven. My dad's very elderly and my step mum is from overseas. So
00:31:32English not her first language. So I've kind of taken it on myself to do school pickups, school lunch,
00:31:40taking them to sporting events, putting them to bed, that sort of thing. They're very special to me and
00:31:45I would do anything for them. Family's everything to me because we lost my older brother who passed
00:31:52away and it's just brought us all closer together. He was a funny character. He was the life of the
00:32:00party. He was very outgoing. Yeah, just a great guy. He passed away two years ago.
00:32:11It's been very hard. And even just doing this process, like I would have wished that like he was,
00:32:18he was my best man. But
00:32:24sorry.
00:32:27Yeah, no.
00:32:30It's just sad that he's not going to see me get married and like
00:32:35he's not going to meet my kids. So that's, yeah, that's the rough heart.
00:32:48With all these things have happened, it's also made me realise that life's too short. And yes,
00:32:54I can also support my family, but I do need to have my own life.
00:33:01Hopefully I'd find someone that's supportive and that's family orientated and is on the same page
00:33:06as me and has the same values. Someone that's unique. I do believe in true love. I do believe
00:33:12it's out there and I do believe it exists and I crave it. I want that. But I would do
00:33:17anything for
00:33:18love. I'm, yeah, open to do whatever it takes. That's why I'm on the experiment. Ash will be a great
00:33:26match for Madeline. He's your boy next door, your classic Aussie guy. He's a real catch. You know,
00:33:32he's grounded. He's kind. He's a real nurturer. You know, he spends a lot of time helping his
00:33:38family bring up his younger half siblings. This is a big part of his world. And I think in many
00:33:43ways,
00:33:44Madeline is at a stage in her life now where she needs some nurturing. She needs some support and
00:33:48some love. Yeah, exactly. And look, Maddie's a very artistic person. She can come off as eccentric
00:33:54at times, but she's passionate about her gift as a psychic medium. So much so that she's given up her
00:34:00acting career to pursue it. Now, being a medium is not something everyone embraces. So she needs
00:34:06someone with an open mind who can give her love, support and stability. And I think Ash is just the
00:34:13person to offer her that. Yeah. Our second new couple has been unveiled, Madeline and Ash.
00:34:29Today is Madeline and Ash's wedding.
00:34:34And while groom Ash prepares himself to tie the knot,
00:34:41across town. It's coming. It's coming. I'm like tuning in. Okay. Okay. Okay. Psychic medium,
00:34:51Madeline is getting a download about her future husband. Yeah. I know. Okay. 37. 37. 37. 37.
00:35:0237 is coming real in strong. Do you think it's 37? Yeah. Yeah.
00:35:15I'm obviously nervous about people being skeptical of her, um, or not believing her. Um,
00:35:21when I know she's so talented and gifted. She's been through a lot in the last couple of years
00:35:26since becoming a medium and she is ready for a whole new phase in her life. She deserves love.
00:35:33She deserves the world. She's an amazing person.
00:35:54So pretty.
00:35:59It's sunny.
00:36:01With Madeline and Ash's family and friends all seated, some special guests are also in attendance.
00:36:08The OG couples.
00:36:10Hello.
00:36:11Hey, how you doing?
00:36:12Welcome, welcome.
00:36:13Jonathan.
00:36:14Ivana, nice to meet you.
00:36:15Hi.
00:36:16Hi, how are you?
00:36:16Hi.
00:36:17Exciting.
00:36:18How do you know who, bride or groom?
00:36:22Oh, we're on the bride's side. Lovely.
00:36:25What does she do for work?
00:36:27She has a blush.
00:36:28A medium.
00:36:30Cool.
00:36:30No.
00:36:33Interesting.
00:36:35I am a skeptic.
00:36:38Does anyone believe in that?
00:36:40I don't.
00:36:42Like at all.
00:36:44I'm sure she's a lovely girl, but I just don't want her vibes on me.
00:36:52What does he do?
00:36:53He works in sales for like pest control.
00:36:56Okay.
00:36:57Yeah.
00:36:57Well, there's a few pests here, so he might go well.
00:37:01I'm definitely ready for some new blood, I think.
00:37:04Yeah.
00:37:10Going through the things I've been through with my brother passing away and my parents getting older,
00:37:15I want my family to experience seeing me happy and in love and having children,
00:37:23and I want them to share that experience with me. And I know time's ticking, so that's driven me
00:37:29to come onto this experiment and to do that and to hopefully find the love of my life.
00:37:35Someone with real kindness about her and someone that's empathetic.
00:37:41Someone who is themself when there's no one around.
00:37:45I want the butterflies in my stomach. Like, isn't that what everyone wants?
00:37:54I'm nervous to see him. I hope he looks cute.
00:37:57He will look cute.
00:37:58Okay.
00:38:07How are you feeling now? How are you feeling?
00:38:15He's like, who the are you?
00:38:27I love that.
00:38:30Okay, first look, she's saying that they're well-suited, so that's a good start.
00:38:33Okay, that's a good start. That's a good start.
00:38:36Your hair looks good.
00:38:39Oh, he looks so handsome.
00:38:51I want love, and I don't want to be lonely anymore.
00:38:57She's coming.
00:39:02I know me, and I'm so sensitive.
00:39:06I can be, like, dramatic.
00:39:08I can cry at the drop of a hat.
00:39:12And I will say weird things.
00:39:15I just hope that it doesn't scare my husband away.
00:39:24Hey, you're so beautiful.
00:39:28Oh, my God, she says.
00:39:31Wow. Yeah, wow.
00:39:33Great smile.
00:39:35Great body.
00:39:36She's an absolute knockout.
00:39:43I love you.
00:39:50Good start.
00:39:52I am Madeline.
00:39:54I'm 30.
00:39:55I am really deep and weird, strange.
00:39:59Getting married.
00:40:01To you, to you.
00:40:05What's your name?
00:40:06Ash.
00:40:07I'm from Melbourne.
00:40:10What are your first impressions of Ash?
00:40:12Okay, so initially,
00:40:16I just saw...
00:40:17I see energy.
00:40:19Right?
00:40:20I see energy.
00:40:21The whitewash of just, like,
00:40:23like, you know?
00:40:27Do you know what I mean?
00:40:29They're recording everything.
00:40:31It's all recorded.
00:40:33The whole time?
00:40:35Yeah.
00:40:37Interesting.
00:40:38All right.
00:40:41So, should we get married?
00:40:43Yeah, let's...
00:40:44Is this what happens now?
00:40:47The bride.
00:40:48First impressions.
00:40:50She's...
00:40:52She's...
00:40:53A lot.
00:40:54Hi, baby.
00:40:55Hi, guys.
00:40:59She's very...
00:41:00Um...
00:41:03Intense.
00:41:04And he's much more reserved.
00:41:07Buckle up, Ash.
00:41:09Buckle up, buddy.
00:41:17I am Madeline.
00:41:20I am weird, strange.
00:41:23Getting married.
00:41:24To you!
00:41:28I am a beautiful, kind person.
00:41:32I'm a medium.
00:41:35Um...
00:41:35What's a medium?
00:41:36Like, a clothes size?
00:41:40Girl, you are at least an extra small.
00:41:42And they were like, no, like, she's a psyche.
00:41:45Lauren!
00:41:45I was like, oh.
00:41:48I don't know whether you've heard about me.
00:41:49Do you know what medium is?
00:41:50Uh, yeah, kind of.
00:41:53Reads people's thoughts.
00:41:55I don't know, um, something along those lines.
00:42:00Madeline and Ash, I now invite you to share your vows with each other.
00:42:04Ash.
00:42:09To my new wife.
00:42:11Hi, I'm Ash.
00:42:13I'd love to know what you're thinking right now.
00:42:15I may look like a bad boy with tattoos on the outside, but I've got a puppy dog heart.
00:42:20I'm fiercely loyal, a good listener, and someone who loves his family.
00:42:25The sort of love that I'm looking for is something I'm yet to experience.
00:42:29I picture being 80 years old, holding hands, walking down the beach together, the old school,
00:42:34supportive, loving, all-encompassing kind of love.
00:42:37And so I stand before you today, gazing into your blue eyes, hopeful and optimistic.
00:42:44I promise that no matter how difficult this experiment gets, I'll be here to support you.
00:42:49I don't expect us to always have an easy road on this journey, but I can promise I'll do everything
00:42:54to get through this with you.
00:42:56We both deserve this opportunity for love, and I hope this could be it for us.
00:43:06Good job, buddy.
00:43:08Madeline?
00:43:09Yes.
00:43:10Would you like to share a few words?
00:43:12Okay.
00:43:13All right.
00:43:16Well, I'm Madeline.
00:43:18I'm annoying.
00:43:20I am.
00:43:21I want you to know that.
00:43:22I can do annoying.
00:43:24I'm annoying because I love people deeply, and I'm annoying because I'm super kind.
00:43:30And when I love people deeply, I expect love in return.
00:43:38So I hope that you can love me for who I am and my strange little weird quirks.
00:43:45I have a lot.
00:43:48I love people who are genuine.
00:43:50I love people who are themselves.
00:43:51I only want you to be who you are.
00:43:55She raw-dogged her vows.
00:43:58Who can raw-dog their vows?
00:44:00This is about you and me, and it's about who we are as people.
00:44:05Like, it doesn't matter, because it's like I accept you, and I love you.
00:44:14Yeah!
00:44:16Oh, poor dude, he's so scared.
00:44:18I love you.
00:44:19You'll love me.
00:44:20I love you.
00:44:21You will love me.
00:44:22I'll find you.
00:44:27Okay, I'm going to shut up now.
00:44:29Sure, sure!
00:44:31Yeah, that was so nice.
00:44:37That was so good.
00:44:39I mean, that was one of the best I've ever seen.
00:44:43She's brilliant.
00:44:46Ash, with this ring, I steal my vows.
00:44:49She done very well on her vows.
00:44:50I was quite impressed that she just read them straight off the cusp.
00:44:52And just came from her heart.
00:44:54That, to me, was amazing.
00:44:56She said she has some quirks and some different traits, so it's going to be good finding out
00:45:00those different quirks.
00:45:03Madeline and Ash, it is with great pleasure that I now pronounce you as husband and wife.
00:45:20I think I was floating off the ground when she kissed me.
00:45:23I almost went into the sky.
00:45:25Family and friends, it is with great honour that I present to you for the very first time,
00:45:30as husband and wife, Madeline and Ash.
00:45:40I'm blown away.
00:45:41I'm blown away.
00:45:42I'm pumped.
00:45:43I'm super excited to start this journey.
00:45:45Bye!
00:45:46Are we seeing you guys again?
00:45:47I think so.
00:45:49Madeline was everything I wished for and more.
00:45:53Everything in my life has led me to here.
00:45:55And I'm grateful for the steps I've taken that have put me here in front of her.
00:45:59So, I hope she feels the same about me.
00:46:02You're a married woman.
00:46:04How does that feel for you?
00:46:08Yeah, I don't know.
00:46:09I just...
00:46:10Sorry, one second.
00:46:14Are you receiving things right now?
00:46:18Yeah.
00:46:20Um...
00:46:20About Ash?
00:46:22Yeah.
00:46:22What have you learned?
00:46:23I'm getting, like, really bad vibes.
00:46:34That's great.
00:46:35Nice.
00:46:37There you go.
00:46:41Get used to that.
00:46:43A lot more to come.
00:46:45Yeah.
00:46:46I haven't been touched like that in a while.
00:46:47Although it's only a hand on the waist, but hey, it felt nice.
00:46:51Jump on my back.
00:46:52Let me see if I can get up there.
00:46:53Come on.
00:46:55While things couldn't be more playful at the boys' photo shoot...
00:47:01Back at Madeline and Asha's wedding, the atmosphere is anything but.
00:47:09A nice and happy and smiley for me.
00:47:13After receiving an ominous psychic download at the ceremony,
00:47:17Madeline is finding it hard to relax with her new husband.
00:47:21It's just nice and romantic and fun.
00:47:23You're sort of, you know, celebrating our beautiful day.
00:47:29Look at each other for a couple of frames for me.
00:47:38What has shifted and why?
00:47:41I feel like it shifted because I got a download about where it was going.
00:47:44They were showing me something.
00:47:46Do you want to tell me what was happening?
00:47:47No.
00:47:48Okay.
00:47:49But were you receiving things about us?
00:47:52Yes.
00:47:53Yes.
00:47:54Yeah.
00:47:55Just information that is helpful for me to know.
00:47:58So what happens now?
00:47:59I just wait to get guidance.
00:48:02I'm waiting to see who he is.
00:48:04A nice and happy and smiley for me.
00:48:10The photo shoot with Madeline, it's somewhat awkward.
00:48:14Let's look towards each other a little bit.
00:48:17I'm still trying to get a gist of her and her personality.
00:48:22But she seems very quiet during the photo shoot.
00:48:26Let me just reframe.
00:48:28Bear with me a second.
00:48:29Oh, my God.
00:48:30Yeah, it's a lot, huh?
00:48:31How did you sleep?
00:48:33I didn't sleep.
00:48:33Yeah, anyways, at all.
00:48:34Yeah.
00:48:36Yeah.
00:48:44I waited until I left the last night.
00:48:47Do you get creepy stuff?
00:48:48What?
00:48:49Yeah, like, just when I was sleeping.
00:48:51I thought there was, like, something over me.
00:48:54Really?
00:48:54That need from God.
00:48:55What?
00:48:56What the?
00:48:57Yeah, it's crazy.
00:48:58It's super weird.
00:48:59The house was probably haunted, I don't know.
00:49:01I love that.
00:49:02Yeah, I had no idea what was going on.
00:49:03Oh, my God.
00:49:05That's pretty vulnerable for a man to be able to share an experience like that.
00:49:08Like, that's pretty cool.
00:49:09And I feel privileged that he did.
00:49:11That's cool.
00:49:12I just feel better now because I feel like he was aware.
00:49:16He's, like, aware that he had an experience.
00:49:19And I love that he was open, I guess, to psychic stuff.
00:49:23I'm used to things changing fast, but, like, wow, that changed really fast.
00:49:26The energy shifted really fast.
00:49:28And I know that he's someone that is open.
00:49:31I'm going to do everything I can in my power to give it a red hot go.
00:49:35I just want something really fun to finish with.
00:49:37Okay, fun.
00:49:38Maybe hands in the air, or...?
00:49:39Yeah, that's cute.
00:49:40Yeah.
00:49:40I love that.
00:49:41That's cool.
00:49:42Isn't that cool?
00:49:54Can we all put our hands together for the great group?
00:50:04The winning's done.
00:50:05I have my man.
00:50:06I think that we're going well so far.
00:50:09I definitely believe I felt a spark between us.
00:50:11I feel like we're extremely compatible.
00:50:14I want to say I'm thrilled.
00:50:15It feels good.
00:50:16The experts have listened.
00:50:17They've delivered.
00:50:17And now it's time to party.
00:50:20Cheers.
00:50:21Cheers.
00:50:24Cheers.
00:50:25Cheers.
00:50:25Hello.
00:50:25Hi.
00:50:26It's so nice to meet you.
00:50:26You as well, I think.
00:50:28Nice to meet you probably as well.
00:50:29Yes, exactly.
00:50:30Rudy.
00:50:30Yeah.
00:50:30Nice to meet you, Steven.
00:50:32How are you feeling, Mark?
00:50:34Oh, look, I'm a little bit more at ease now.
00:50:36Yeah.
00:50:37Oh my God, my nerves were through the roof.
00:50:40I'm feeling pretty confident.
00:50:42I'm feeling like we're in a good place.
00:50:43Yeah, I just hope that it's a genuine connection for him and his reasons for being here are the same
00:50:50as me.
00:50:50And so far, he's honest and open.
00:50:53And I think that's an amazing quality to have.
00:50:59Ta.
00:50:59Sorry.
00:51:00Thanks.
00:51:01You're a vegetarian?
00:51:02No.
00:51:03No.
00:51:03Did you put me down?
00:51:04Well, this is pork fun and I don't eat pork.
00:51:06Mike doesn't eat.
00:51:06Well, it's swapsies.
00:51:07It's already coming in here.
00:51:08Great.
00:51:10It's already working out.
00:51:12There we go.
00:51:13We'll share.
00:51:16My first impression of Michael was that he is Steven's type and I think they had chemistry.
00:51:25I could see the chemistry between them.
00:51:27He seems like a super genuine guy.
00:51:30Yeah, made effort with the family.
00:51:32They definitely seem on the same page, which is exciting to see.
00:51:37I don't even know what your last name is.
00:51:39Felix.
00:51:40Felix.
00:51:40What's yours?
00:51:41Stuart.
00:51:41Felix Stewart.
00:51:43Michael Felix Stewart.
00:51:44Michael Felix Stewart.
00:51:45When I look at Steven, I get that energy.
00:51:49Like, it's just, I'm actually so attracted to him.
00:51:52Like, he's calm.
00:51:54He's masculine.
00:51:56He's laid back.
00:51:57He's really deep and connected to his family, which is extremely important to me.
00:52:02So he's ticking all the boxes.
00:52:05Hi, I'm Steven.
00:52:06Nice to meet you.
00:52:07How are you?
00:52:07Yeah, good.
00:52:08Like, overwhelmed, but good.
00:52:10Yeah, yeah.
00:52:11I feel like, um, yeah, I feel like there's some chemistry there, huh?
00:52:14Yeah, well, stay tuned, though.
00:52:17We might be having kids in...
00:52:21Well, you know, we've met baby mamas, so, yeah.
00:52:26What?
00:52:31Really?
00:52:38What have you just...
00:52:39What have you just...
00:52:40You just ruined something.
00:52:41No, not at all.
00:52:43I know.
00:52:44No, you said he already had the conversation.
00:52:46He already had the conversation with your family.
00:52:48Yeah.
00:52:48I have not had this conversation.
00:52:53Really?
00:52:54No.
00:52:54Mike's got such an interesting life.
00:52:56It's just, like, literally an onion just...
00:52:59Yeah, right.
00:53:00Your eyes water after a while.
00:53:07Right, well, um, you've captured my attention with the baby mamas comments, so I need to...
00:53:13I need to suss that one out.
00:53:14Yeah, it was nice meeting you guys.
00:53:16Take care.
00:53:18Interesting.
00:53:20Probably uninvited to its wedding.
00:53:22Me?
00:53:22Yeah, probably.
00:53:23What?
00:53:24No, she's the one that told the, uh, loose lips over here.
00:53:27What?
00:53:32So, what's this about a baby mama?
00:53:45Well, you know, you've met baby mamas, so, yeah.
00:53:50What?
00:53:55I've not had this conversation.
00:53:57Really?
00:53:58No.
00:54:00Right, well, um, you've captured my attention with the baby mamas.
00:54:04I've had this comment, so I need to suss that one out.
00:54:07Yeah, it was nice meeting you guys.
00:54:09Take care.
00:54:19So, what's this about a baby mama?
00:54:24Oh, I was going to get to that.
00:54:27I missed that.
00:54:35Yeah, I have two biological daughters.
00:54:39Oh, well, okay.
00:54:40One with each, Natalie and Nicole.
00:54:43Yes, the couple here.
00:54:44Yeah.
00:54:46So, honestly, it feels good to be able to give the gift of life, you know, to them and help
00:54:50them continue their family and grow their family.
00:54:52That's awesome.
00:54:52Yeah, like, honestly, it was more about them in the situation than myself, but after seeing the
00:54:56girls grow up, I'm like, okay, no, I definitely want these.
00:54:59Like, have some children.
00:55:00Oh, yeah.
00:55:01Yeah.
00:55:01Okay.
00:55:02Yeah, good on, guys.
00:55:03That's awesome.
00:55:04I think that the fact that he has given this gift to his friends so that they could start their
00:55:10family
00:55:11and he's willing to selflessly step back and let that unfold, I love that.
00:55:16I think that's, yeah, that is amazing.
00:55:18That's a really kind act and takes a pretty special person to be able to do that.
00:55:23That's a huge, huge tick in my box.
00:55:27I think that, yeah, that speaks volumes of him and, yeah, I view him very highly because of that.
00:55:35I feel like, honestly, it was me, the little girls.
00:55:38I just straight out there, that big old tick on our side.
00:55:41Yeah, it was definitely me.
00:55:44He just confirmed how aligned he is with his family values and his morals and that makes me
00:55:53excited to think that they have a promising future.
00:55:57I just, I can't wait to see you guys, um, when you've got to know each other.
00:56:01Procreate.
00:56:16Wow, look at these fancy utensils.
00:56:25Can I just get everyone's attention?
00:56:28Please put our hands together for the bride and group.
00:56:33After discovering a spiritual connection with her new husband at the photo shoot,
00:56:39Madeline has a spring in her step once again.
00:56:50I think there may be a bit of a spark there for me, so that's quite exciting.
00:56:56Madeline, she's just absolutely stunning.
00:56:58I feel like we should, like, order champagne.
00:57:00Yeah, we've been waiting for it.
00:57:02We've got two of the glasses.
00:57:03We're like, yo, waiters, what's going down? Hello.
00:57:06We haven't really connected on a super deep level just yet, but I'm guessing that's going to come.
00:57:13Ash, what made you, like, want to be a part of this whole thing?
00:57:16Um, I'm definitely ready for, like, a long-term thing.
00:57:20Yeah.
00:57:20Like, absolutely ready for it.
00:57:21Yeah.
00:57:22The timing, just everything aligned, so I was like, yeah, let's go full steam ahead.
00:57:27And then he walked down the aisle and I was smitten, so I was like, wow.
00:57:32Yeah.
00:57:34Well, that's good.
00:57:38She said she has some quirks and some different, um, traits, which is good,
00:57:42because I do too, and ready to just, yeah, ready to get stuck into it.
00:57:45Like, ready to hang out with my wife.
00:57:49As the guests enjoy the party atmosphere, Cassandra and Tristan are struggling to connect.
00:57:56Anything you need?
00:57:57Huh?
00:57:58Anything you need?
00:57:59No, I'm good.
00:58:00It's very fiery.
00:58:01Yeah.
00:58:02No, it's just like, and more, and more.
00:58:05Oh my God.
00:58:06I hope we get some wedding cake.
00:58:07I would love some wedding cake.
00:58:08We barely got any of our wedding cake.
00:58:10I'm crazy, but feels so long ago.
00:58:13And now we're at another wedding.
00:58:15Yes.
00:58:17It's been a beautiful wedding, two beautiful people.
00:58:20And I guess you just kind of think about your own relationship a little bit more,
00:58:24and they're so excited, and they're so happy, and I love that for them.
00:58:28And I love love, and then I'm just like, where is mine?
00:58:36What is going on with you, Tristan?
00:58:38Nothing's going on, and that's the problem.
00:58:41But for Cassandra and Tristan, it hasn't always been this way.
00:58:46From the moment they met, there was a fairy tale connection.
00:58:50Oh, you look stunning.
00:58:56He's got these lovely eyes and such a fun smile.
00:59:00I am drawn to him because he's so warm-hearted, so funny.
00:59:06But during the experiment, Tristan's self-doubt and lack of confidence opened up some old wounds,
00:59:13with a heartbreaking revelation.
00:59:15Oh, I hate myself.
00:59:17Like, the way I look, I think I sound annoying as well.
00:59:22I guess I don't think I do good enough when I try to do good enough.
00:59:25But Cassandra was quick to remind Tristan of all the qualities she loves about him.
00:59:31He's thoughtful, he's patient, he's generous, kind, absolutely hilarious,
00:59:41cutest dimples, he's tall, he's fun to be around, beautiful energy.
00:59:48But sadly, Tristan's lack of confidence has been the main barrier holding the pair
00:59:54back from exploring intimacy, and has left a despondent Cassandra questioning where she
00:59:59stands in her marriage.
01:00:02I like Tristan a lot.
01:00:03I just want him to be confident in who he is, what he brings to this relationship,
01:00:08and what he has to offer, because it's so much.
01:00:11But I don't even know if he likes me.
01:00:14Is he, like, repulsed by me?
01:00:16Is he just not into me?
01:00:19I don't know.
01:00:22It's weird between us.
01:00:27Are we okay?
01:00:33Next, Tristan and Cassandra's conflict finally boils over.
01:00:38We're trying so hard to make you have fun, and it's now starting to drain me.
01:00:42I need a break.
01:00:44Yeah.
01:00:46I'm obviously the bad guy, so it's all my fault.
01:00:49Cass, honey, are you okay?
01:00:51Cass.
01:00:57And later...
01:00:58Anything you want to pre-warn me about?
01:01:03Um...
01:01:04Michael's truth rattles Stephen.
01:01:06Instantly, I felt sick.
01:01:08I just felt like, this is not a genuine match.
01:01:32Here's to MASH.
01:01:36We've already given them a nickname as well.
01:01:38MASH.
01:01:39MASH.
01:01:39Yeah.
01:01:40Yeah.
01:01:40Maddie and Ash equals MASH.
01:01:43I want to do the MASH theme song now.
01:01:47Can't think.
01:01:49Oh my God, so MASH.
01:01:51That's hilarious.
01:01:52Here's to MASH.
01:01:54As the couples continue to enjoy the wedding vibe,
01:01:59Sandra and Tristan are still struggling to get past the small talk.
01:02:07Are we okay?
01:02:09Yeah.
01:02:10We're fine.
01:02:13I think we're just a bit of stale, mate.
01:02:15I just think lately we've just been in a bit of a rut.
01:02:20And how are you feeling about everything?
01:02:22About us?
01:02:23Yeah.
01:02:24I don't know if it's like the...
01:02:27Just being in or being in this experiment.
01:02:30Like, why am I bored?
01:02:32What do you mean?
01:02:33You were bored?
01:02:34Like, how are you bored?
01:02:36Like, seriously.
01:02:37Like, I've planned every day now, trying so hard to make, like,
01:02:41to make you have fun and go, what do you need me to do?
01:02:43No, that's why I don't know what I'm expecting.
01:02:45I'm just trying to figure out what you want.
01:02:46Like, and then I get not sure if you're having a good time
01:02:48and it just frustrates me.
01:02:49No, I tell you, I have the best time at everything.
01:02:52I do, like, I try everything.
01:02:54And then I get, you're telling me you're bored.
01:02:55Like, when I said I was bored, I was just like, it was just...
01:02:58It was nothing like you're boring me sort of thing.
01:03:02Oh, my God.
01:03:03Tristan is so sensitive.
01:03:05I did say to Tristan I was bored, but not of him.
01:03:09I'm just frustrated because I need more intimacy.
01:03:15I just want a normal map.
01:03:16That's not nothing.
01:03:18Anything is better than nothing.
01:03:26Are you trying?
01:03:28Do you believe I'm not trying?
01:03:30Like, that's a really bullshit question to ask.
01:03:31Like, obviously, I'm trying.
01:03:33I try every freaking single day.
01:03:35Am I consistently organising things to make her have fun?
01:03:38Then just don't turn around and be like, you're bored and shit.
01:03:41That really shitted me.
01:03:43The dates are fine.
01:03:45I think Cassandra is what's more intimacy.
01:03:47I don't know.
01:03:48I think it's just been a bit stale.
01:03:50That comment of, like, I'm bored really crushed me.
01:03:54Like, well, me too, bro.
01:03:55At least I'm trying.
01:03:59I think hearing those words really upset him.
01:04:02And he took it, like, to another level.
01:04:06It's, like, exhausting.
01:04:07Because I'm trying to organise these things to make you happy.
01:04:09And you don't look like you're having fun.
01:04:10It's annoying.
01:04:11The way Tristan's mind works, it just goes fast.
01:04:14And it thinks of a thousand different things.
01:04:17I've, like, organised so much stuff to go above and beyond.
01:04:20And you don't look like you're having fun.
01:04:21I'm beating myself up.
01:04:22And that's now starting to drain me.
01:04:26He's telling me he's so drained.
01:04:27I'm like, drained for what?
01:04:28It's exhausting him.
01:04:29I'm like, why are you being exhausted by these things?
01:04:33Like, just take it easy.
01:04:35We can just eat popcorn on the side of the street.
01:04:38And I'd be the happiest because you've made the effort to plan popcorn on the side.
01:04:40I just, I don't need much.
01:04:42I'm happy just being with him.
01:04:44But he is showing me no affection at all, which is all I want.
01:04:50I'm also trying so hard to make, like, to make you have fun.
01:04:54And I've, like, organised so much stuff.
01:04:56I don't care about dates.
01:04:57I just want Tristan to just give me a bit more love and affection.
01:05:04I'm a husband.
01:05:05That's why I'm here.
01:05:06I want Tristan to be the man that I came here for.
01:05:11Yeah.
01:05:12I'm consistently putting myself down.
01:05:14And I've never given myself credit on anything.
01:05:16So this is the time I'm giving myself credit because I am trying.
01:05:19I try every goddamn freaking day.
01:05:21If I keep on getting shut down like this and I keep on feeling this shit,
01:05:23I'm going to give up.
01:05:24At least I'm trying.
01:05:25I need a break.
01:05:27Yeah.
01:05:28Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:05:30Okay.
01:05:31Tristan and Cass are having a full birth domestic.
01:05:40Whatever.
01:05:41I'm obviously the dude, so I'm obviously the bad guy.
01:05:43So it's all my fault here again.
01:05:46I'm trying more harder than she is every day, you know?
01:05:50So, like, what am I supposed to do?
01:05:52Like, me, man.
01:05:56We done?
01:05:57Yep.
01:05:57Awesome.
01:06:03Cass, honey, are you okay?
01:06:06Cass?
01:06:07No, Ralphie's not coming.
01:06:24Following an offhand comment by Cassandra saying she was bored,
01:06:28an irate Tristan's defences have kicked in and a heated argument saw Cassandra crying in the bathroom.
01:06:40I'm sorry.
01:06:42You okay?
01:06:43Yes.
01:06:43What's going on?
01:06:44No, I just needed a minute.
01:06:47I'm a little tired, a long day.
01:06:52Yeah.
01:06:55I feel like I'm trying really hard and, yeah, just tired, I think.
01:07:02Tired of not knowing, tired of interest and self-confidence issues.
01:07:09Tired of no progress, tired of lack of intimacy.
01:07:18Yeah, I feel like we're just not on the same track at the moment.
01:07:24I just feel deflated.
01:07:30Um, guys, I wish there was music.
01:07:35Like, goddammit!
01:07:38Like, what?
01:07:40But seriously, guys, I'm so ready to have fun with you all.
01:07:44I'm so ready to party.
01:07:46Woo!
01:07:46Like, we should party.
01:07:48Can we party again?
01:07:49Come on.
01:07:50Okay, thank you, guys.
01:07:51I love you all.
01:07:53And know this, know this.
01:07:55Love conquers all.
01:07:57Right?
01:07:57It does.
01:07:58And bring the positive vibes.
01:08:05The day has been great.
01:08:07I'm feeling like it's definitely going to be a roller coaster with Madeline.
01:08:10But I'm enjoying the ride so far.
01:08:13She's so unique.
01:08:14She just has a heart of gold.
01:08:16So, yeah, I couldn't be happier.
01:08:18I love you all.
01:08:19I love you all.
01:08:20I love you all.
01:08:21Love conquers all.
01:08:23Love you.
01:08:23I think Maddie is just a total treasure.
01:08:26They're both gorgeous, funky creatures, actually.
01:08:28He's going to go on a ride with her.
01:08:30Yes.
01:08:30Yeah, you're a dancer.
01:08:32I tell you what, because when you're around energy like that, I mean, she's magnificent.
01:08:37She's a bit of a piece of art, like, inside and out.
01:08:40That was the most awkward first dance I've ever seen in my life.
01:08:44As Madeline brings the positive vibes and unique dance moves,
01:08:50Michael and Stephen are revelling in their new relationship status.
01:08:55This is the most committed relationship I've been in five years.
01:08:59Oh, my God, me and, like, four, so here we are.
01:09:02Yeah, we're up to a good start.
01:09:03We're up to a good start.
01:09:03Into this deep end, hey?
01:09:05She's just diving in.
01:09:06Diving in.
01:09:07Yeah, so.
01:09:09I just, I really am genuinely going into this hoping to find love.
01:09:15That's my end goal.
01:09:16Exactly the same.
01:09:17And anything you want to pre-warn me about?
01:09:21Um, I'm speaking of something to discuss, actually.
01:09:24I do want to bring it up to you.
01:09:26Oh, shoot.
01:09:26So, just to, like, bring it to attention, like, I have been previously matched in this experiment before.
01:09:34Yeah, okay.
01:09:35Sean came to me with some shattering news that the match had pulled out.
01:09:41And I never met the person, obviously, and things happen for a reason, which led me to you.
01:09:49Learning that Michael had been previously matched in this experiment, instantly I felt sick.
01:09:56I just felt like, this is, this is not a genuine match then, if that's the case.
01:10:02This is a really last-minute slapdash, you'll do.
01:10:07Yeah, okay.
01:10:08And that, to me, is a huge red flag.
01:10:11I'm really trying hard not to have my guard up, but to, to know that someone pulled out last minute,
01:10:17am I just, he's fill-in.
01:10:26Tomorrow night.
01:10:27I'm the bad guy.
01:10:28Yeah, cool.
01:10:32John Aitken to the rescue.
01:10:34I mean, she's an amazing woman, and she wants touch from you.
01:10:39But will it be enough to save this marriage in crisis?
01:10:43Plus.
01:10:44I've got a lot of things going for me.
01:10:45I've got a lot of things, I don't know, people do find attractive in a partner.
01:10:49We meet the most overly confident groom ever seen.
01:10:53I feel like my wife's first impression is going to be like, I got lucky here.
01:10:56In the final wedding of the experiment.
01:10:58What I aim to provide is safety and security in our relationship.
01:11:02Because I know you girls love that stuff.
01:11:06But will his vows...
01:11:07Boys, give us a D's.
01:11:09D's.
01:11:11Prove too much for his new bride.
01:11:13Promise to always provide a sturdy shoulder for you to cry on.
01:11:16Hopefully not because of me.
01:11:18Oh, God.
01:11:19Before the three new couples...
01:11:21That was nice.
01:11:23Head off on their honeymoons.
01:11:25Come on.
01:11:27Come on.
01:11:28Where psychic Maddie...
01:11:30They're still talking to you.
01:11:31Oh, yes.
01:11:31Hold on.
01:11:32Sorry.
01:11:33Gets a ghostly message from the other side.
01:11:36They all want to talk.
01:11:37Everyone wants to talk to you.
01:11:40Leaving her husband in total shock.
01:11:43I don't know what is going on.
01:11:45Weirdo.
01:11:45No.
01:11:46It's annoying.
01:11:47What the...
