00:00:00Previously, when new couples entered the experiment...
00:00:05Hello. Hi. How are you?
00:00:07Michael finally got his fairy tale wedding.
00:00:11Seems like he's literally made for me.
00:00:13The spark is definitely igniting.
00:00:16But his recent heartbreak...
00:00:18I have been previously matched in this experiment before.
00:00:22...left groom Stephen feeling second best.
00:00:25Instantly, I felt sick.
00:00:27Am I just his fill-in?
00:00:30And...
00:00:31Georgia!
00:00:32It was a close encounter...
00:00:34I am weird.
00:00:36..of the psychic kind.
00:00:38I love you.
00:00:39..as one of the most memorable brides...
00:00:42You will love me. I'll find you.
00:00:44..left an unforgettable first impression.
00:00:47Poor dude, he's so scared.
00:00:50Before...
00:00:50Why am I bored?
00:00:52What do you mean?
00:00:52Because I'm trying to organise these things to make you happy.
00:00:54An unexpected setback for Cassandra and Tristan.
00:00:58What is going on here, Tristan?
00:01:00Nothing's going on and that's the problem.
00:01:04Tonight...
00:01:05I'm the bad guy. Yeah, cool.
00:01:10John Aiken to the rescue.
00:01:12I mean, she's an amazing woman and she wants touch from you.
00:01:16But will it be enough to save this marriage in crisis?
00:01:21Plus...
00:01:22I've got a lot of things going for me.
00:01:23I've got a lot of things, I don't know, people do find attractive in a partner.
00:01:26We meet the most overly confident groom ever seen.
00:01:30I feel like my wife's first impression is going to be like, I got lucky here.
00:01:34In the final wedding of the experiment.
00:01:37What I aim to provide is safety and security in our relationship.
00:01:40Because I know you girls love that stuff.
00:01:43But will his vows...
00:01:45Boys, give us a D's.
00:01:47D's.
00:01:48Prove too much for his new bride.
00:01:51Promise to always provide a sturdy shoulder for you to cry on.
00:01:53Hopefully not because of me.
00:01:55Oh God.
00:01:57Before the three new couples...
00:02:00Nice.
00:02:00Head off on their honeymoons.
00:02:03Come on.
00:02:04Come on.
00:02:06Where psychic Maddie...
00:02:08They're still talking to you.
00:02:09Oh yes, hold on.
00:02:10Sorry.
00:02:10Gets a ghostly message from the other side.
00:02:13They all want to talk.
00:02:15Everyone wants to talk to you.
00:02:17Leaving her husband in total shock.
00:02:21I don't know what is going on.
00:02:22No.
00:02:23No.
00:02:23It's annoying.
00:02:25What the...
00:02:41It's four weeks into the experiment.
00:02:44And the morning after the weddings of our two newest couples.
00:02:49Oh.
00:02:51It all happened.
00:02:52It, uh...
00:02:53It wasn't a dream.
00:02:54Yours is still on?
00:02:56Yeah.
00:02:57Oh, oh.
00:02:57Yours is still on?
00:02:59No.
00:03:01It isn't.
00:03:03For Michael and Stephen, the wedding night ended with a bombshell.
00:03:08Anything you want to pre-warn me about?
00:03:12Yeah.
00:03:12Just to, like, bring it to attention.
00:03:14Like, I have been previously matched in this experiment before.
00:03:19Um...
00:03:20Found out after the hen's night that he left after the bucks night.
00:03:24Yeah.
00:03:25Okay.
00:03:28Uh...
00:03:29I'm a married man.
00:03:31Good.
00:03:31Promise you.
00:03:32Okay.
00:03:34Waking up this morning, it's really hit.
00:03:36Like, we're married.
00:03:37We're doing this experiment.
00:03:38I need a cup of tea.
00:03:40So, I'm really trying hard not to have my guard up, but I don't want to feel like he's fill
00:03:47-in or just his back-up.
00:03:50Do you feel comfortable with him?
00:03:53Yeah.
00:03:53I feel...
00:03:54I feel, um, hopeful that we will get to a place where we feel really comfortable with each other.
00:04:01But, you know, we've only known each other for 24 hours, so it's gonna take a little while.
00:04:06You ready for this?
00:04:07With the honeymoon phase of the experiment about to get underway...
00:04:11You're off to explore the picture of Tasmania.
00:04:13It's a chance for the couple to put the setback behind them.
00:04:17While you get to know each other on a deeper level.
00:04:19Enjoy!
00:04:20Yay!
00:04:21I've never been to Tassie.
00:04:22That's exciting, actually.
00:04:23Never.
00:04:23We are off to Tassie.
00:04:25I'm actually really looking forward to that.
00:04:27We've had a difficult start to our marriage.
00:04:29Do you go to wineries quite often?
00:04:30No, not really.
00:04:32Okay.
00:04:33And it's just gonna take a little time to get over the awkwardness of Stephen feeling like he's second best.
00:04:39I tend to frequent up north towards the age.
00:04:42Okay, fair.
00:04:43But we're gonna make the honeymoon the best we can.
00:04:46Definitely need these pyjamas, because they're lit.
00:04:48They're your favourite?
00:04:50They're my favourite.
00:04:51What shoes do I need?
00:04:54As Michael and Stephen put their best foot forward...
00:04:58Whew!
00:04:58I did not pack late.
00:05:00...Madeline and Ash are packing for their honeymoon on the southern New South Wales coast.
00:05:06This isn't working!
00:05:08...where Ash hopes some quality time will help him get to know his new wife on a deeper level.
00:05:13I'm sorry.
00:05:15My coats.
00:05:17Madeline's very attractive, but I'm still trying to get a gist of her and her personality.
00:05:22Did you?
00:05:23You push, I'll zip.
00:05:24Okay, here we go.
00:05:24Her quirks.
00:05:25Oh, yeah.
00:05:30I'm gonna take my top off.
00:05:31But it's just the unknown for me.
00:05:34Oh!
00:05:35We have forgot this!
00:05:38We found out where we've gone for our honeymoon!
00:05:42Do you have space?
00:05:44We're going to...
00:05:45Okay, hold on.
00:05:47Ulla Dalla.
00:05:49Do you want to come try and fit it?
00:05:50Yeah.
00:05:51I'm actually happy because, like, I can wear my coats.
00:05:55This is what love is, you see?
00:05:57That's cool.
00:05:58But what I really want from the tiny moon is, like, me and Ash should be able to develop
00:06:03into something more deep.
00:06:05A connection that's deeper.
00:06:07I made it!
00:06:08I made it!
00:06:09I made it!
00:06:09That was easy.
00:06:10I love you.
00:06:12Okay.
00:06:13We're done.
00:06:17As anticipation builds for our newlyweds' honeymoons and the next stage of the experiment,
00:06:24after four weeks of trying, original couple Cassandra and Tristan are running on empty.
00:06:34Relationships, right?
00:06:37Are we okay?
00:06:38Yeah.
00:06:40We're fine.
00:06:40Great fun.
00:06:41The couple fought last night at Madeline and Ash's wedding.
00:06:45Like, why am I bored?
00:06:47When a discussion about their dating life...
00:06:50What do you mean?
00:06:51You were bored.
00:06:51...triggered Tristan.
00:06:52I'm trying more harder than she is.
00:06:54Every day.
00:06:55But for Cassandra, the issue went deeper, following weeks of frustration about Tristan's
00:07:01struggle to initiate intimate affection.
00:07:04What is going on with you, Tristan?
00:07:06Nothing's going on and that's the problem.
00:07:09I literally go to touch his hand and he moves his hand away.
00:07:12I like Tristan a lot.
00:07:13I don't even know if he likes me.
00:07:15Cass, honey, are you okay?
00:07:17No.
00:07:18He's not crying.
00:07:23Um, last night.
00:07:25I don't know.
00:07:29We got home from the wedding and didn't speak to each other and went to sleep.
00:07:34No kisses or anything at the end of the night.
00:07:36Nothing.
00:07:39All I could think about was that these arguments are not going to stop.
00:07:44Because Tristan spirals and it just gets worse.
00:07:47See, not how I thought the wedding would end for us.
00:07:53But you did raise a few things that was on your mind.
00:07:59The thing that set me off was the fact that you're like, I'm bored.
00:08:02It's like a lot of me planning and doing things.
00:08:04But like, like I'm trying.
00:08:07Trying as best as I can.
00:08:09And the whole thing's exhausting me.
00:08:11I don't understand why you feel like I'm exhausting you so much.
00:08:16But you're not exhausted.
00:08:17It's after you're taking...
00:08:18Planning all these activities.
00:08:20No, no, okay.
00:08:20These dates.
00:08:21No, but I'm not though.
00:08:22It's fine.
00:08:24Well, it's, it's, it's whatever.
00:08:26I'm the bad guy.
00:08:26Yeah, cool.
00:08:33I'm always a bad guy, right?
00:08:37I think Tristan's been holding a few things in.
00:08:41But this is not about the dates.
00:08:43You might not realise it, but this is really about our lack of physical connection.
00:08:49He's a bit insecure.
00:08:51He's not very confident.
00:08:53And it's draining me.
00:08:55And I'm so over this.
00:08:57I'm really over this.
00:08:59Yeah.
00:09:04As Tristan takes some time out to recover from the stressful 24 hours, the four original
00:09:11couples who didn't attend yesterday's wedding...
00:09:14Is it cake?
00:09:16...are receiving some exciting news.
00:09:18One day it'll be cake.
00:09:20Just saying.
00:09:21Yes, it's a wedding invite.
00:09:22Oh, it is.
00:09:25Two strangers taking a huge leap of faith to find true love.
00:09:29The experts invite you to celebrate the wedding of...
00:09:34Who?
00:09:35Question mark and question mark.
00:09:37Dress to impress.
00:09:38There's no details on it whatsoever.
00:09:40I know just the thing to wear.
00:09:41Oh, you'd like it.
00:09:42I do.
00:09:43Alright, alright.
00:09:43Let's go.
00:09:44Let's do it.
00:09:47I actually don't know what to wear.
00:09:57Our final groom is 27-year-old psych nurse, Ridge.
00:10:04He's decided he wants to put an end to his bachelor lifestyle and find true love.
00:10:16Oh, what are you most worried about getting into this?
00:10:20Man, 100% not being attracted to you all.
00:10:22Just the attraction?
00:10:22100%.
00:10:23Shallow as it does sound.
00:10:25I'm just hoping the experts get it right.
00:10:28So far Ridge has failed to find a woman who meets his high standards.
00:10:32At the end of the day I'm picky.
00:10:34Whilst having no shortage of love and admiration for himself.
00:10:40Like, they don't want to tell me how good looking I am because I know that.
00:10:42And I tell myself every day.
00:10:43I don't need two people telling me that.
00:10:45Exactly.
00:10:47Are you ready for a girl to tame Ridge?
00:10:51Oh, honestly, for the right girl, yes.
00:10:53I am.
00:10:55Hand over my heart I'm ready.
00:10:56Like, I'm getting 28 this year.
00:10:58Like, I always said by the age of 28 that I'd be ready to settle down.
00:11:03So I've had one serious girlfriend and then I've had a ton of situation shifts.
00:11:09But I get nothing out of breaking hearts and that's sort of why I've sort of distanced myself from all
00:11:13that sort of stuff.
00:11:15I look after people for a living.
00:11:16I've seen people come into my work depressed and I don't want to be a part of the reason that
00:11:20someone is upset.
00:11:22When you're a psych nurse, you have to mature quick.
00:11:25It's a very unique career.
00:11:27It's not for everyone, but it's really helped me in terms of my relationships.
00:11:32Born and raised here, but I've got Filipino heritage.
00:11:35My parents are in the most beautiful relationship.
00:11:37They still go on date nights once a week.
00:11:40When my dad gets eaten after a long day at work, he'll drop everything, give mum a big kiss.
00:11:44Like, yeah, I know how to love.
00:11:46It's something I really strive for and something I'm not going to settle for anything less than what my parents
00:11:51have.
00:11:53But obviously, it's a matter of finding that person.
00:11:59I'm very picky.
00:12:01I know what I want.
00:12:02And that's someone who's loves to have a laugh.
00:12:04Doesn't take itself too seriously.
00:12:06I want someone whose family is massively important.
00:12:09I can't wait to be a dad.
00:12:11You know, like, Ridge Junior running around would be sick.
00:12:14My name's Shade, I'm 26, I'm from Queensland, and I'm an executive assistant.
00:12:20If he's the one for me, he's tall, tan, dark hair, few tattoos.
00:12:28And he's just like a really strong figure.
00:12:32I feel like it's really good to laugh with your partner a lot and just have fun with them as
00:12:37well.
00:12:38But I suck at picking the right person.
00:12:44Growing up in South Africa, we did have a lot of people who went through arranged marriages.
00:12:50And they were all so happy.
00:12:52In South Africa, it's like normal to get married around, like, 25.
00:12:58So as soon as I hit 25, I was like, where's the ring?
00:13:05I have a daughter, V.
00:13:08She is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
00:13:12She has kept me so grounded.
00:13:14I expected to marry V's dad, but when she was a month or two old, he cheated on me with
00:13:21my best friend.
00:13:27And yeah.
00:13:34It's hard trying to juggle mum life and, like, being single in my 20s.
00:13:40Home life for me at the moment is basically just mum duties.
00:13:46Like, I just don't have it in me to just keep trying to find the right person and go on
00:13:51dates.
00:13:52I'm sick of people messaging me if they're not going to marry me.
00:13:56I have wanted to be married for years already.
00:14:00And have my daughter be in that secure household as well.
00:14:04She should be able to see, like, mum really happy with someone.
00:14:11So, yeah.
00:14:16Jade and Ridge.
00:14:17I can't wait to see how this dynamic develops.
00:14:21Now, Jade is a single mum.
00:14:23And she became a single mum at 19.
00:14:25Very young, yeah.
00:14:26Very young.
00:14:27So, a lot of her early adulthood has been spent with the heavy responsibility of being a mum.
00:14:33So, for her, I think it's important that we can bring someone into her life that can inject some fun,
00:14:39some playfulness.
00:14:40She wants to feel that connection with a partner.
00:14:43She hasn't had that in her adult life because she's been focusing on being a mum
00:14:47and because her past relationship ended in a betrayal.
00:14:50I guess, for me, the question with Ridge is, will he also bring in the maturity that is needed to
00:14:56be in a relationship with a young mum of a seven-year-old?
00:14:59I think what Jade will like is that Ridge is an alpha.
00:15:04And I think that will appeal to her.
00:15:06She'll be drawn to his very masculine energy.
00:15:09He's saying he's done with his partying days.
00:15:12Time will tell on this one.
00:15:15The final couple to have been matched are Jade and Ridge.
00:15:19And soon they will meet and marry at first sight.
00:15:25Coming up...
00:15:26Oh, what are you hoping she's like?
00:15:27Dece.
00:15:28Dece means, like, decent.
00:15:31Ridge and his groomsmen reveal they have their own special language.
00:15:36Dece.
00:15:37Dece.
00:15:39But can Jade and her guests be persuaded to get on board with the banter?
00:15:44Boys, give us a dece.
00:15:46Dece.
00:16:02It's the morning of the final wedding of the experiment.
00:16:06Oh, boy!
00:16:07How are you, brother?
00:16:08How are you?
00:16:09How are you?
00:16:09Big time.
00:16:10How are you, brother?
00:16:11How are you?
00:16:12How are we?
00:16:13How are you?
00:16:14Man, ready to get married.
00:16:15Let's go.
00:16:16Anyone want a drink?
00:16:17Yeah.
00:16:19In Sydney, psych nurse Ridge has been joined by groomsmen Chris and Jordan for what promises
00:16:25to be a life-changing wedding.
00:16:28We did not expect you to be the first married out of us.
00:16:32But before Ridge's new wife can put an end to his bachelor lifestyle.
00:16:36Oh, what are you hoping she's like?
00:16:38Dece.
00:16:39She'll have to be schooled in the special language they share.
00:16:43Oh, yeah.
00:16:44Dece.
00:16:47Dece.
00:16:47Dece means, like, decent, which is, like, very good looking in our terminology.
00:16:53Yeah.
00:16:54So you're getting married today, obviously, so your week can't really get any worse.
00:16:57Toey's a Roman sandal brother.
00:16:59We have a lot of inside jokes.
00:17:01We've been friends for, like, 20 years.
00:17:03I think we're looking fresh, boys.
00:17:05We're looking all right.
00:17:06Dece.
00:17:07Dece.
00:17:09Yo!
00:17:10Way to go.
00:17:11I feel so sorry for her.
00:17:12No.
00:17:13I feel so sorry for her.
00:17:14Come as a pack.
00:17:15Yeah.
00:17:16While Ridge leans into the support of his close-knit friendship group, he has yet
00:17:21to find out 26-year-old Jade comes as a package deal herself.
00:17:27Hello, chicken.
00:17:29Hello.
00:17:30With daughter V, one of the driving forces in her search for love.
00:17:34I'm getting married today.
00:17:37Today?
00:17:39Yeah.
00:17:42It has definitely made me sad in the past that I'm not married.
00:17:47Having a child so young, I've basically had to grow up, like, way quicker than what I was
00:17:52meant to, and now I feel like it is so important to me to find my person and complete my
00:18:00family,
00:18:02and make a nice home for me and V.
00:18:06She should be able to see love, be happy and fulfilled.
00:18:11But it does get a little hard.
00:18:18Sometimes, um, like having to act happy in front of her.
00:18:31Got it.
00:18:32In the absence of daughter V and her own mum, who is overseas.
00:18:37I love the veil.
00:18:38You actually look like a princess.
00:18:41Jade's asked best friend and bridesmaid Ria to help her get ready.
00:18:45Oh my gosh, I'm going to be a wife.
00:18:49She does not shut up about wanting to get married.
00:18:53I just want to be a wife.
00:18:54I can't wait to meet my husband.
00:18:56So this day is probably the most important day of her life.
00:18:59Oh my gosh, I'm so nervous now.
00:19:03You look amazing.
00:19:04I do hope she finds what she's looking for, and that is somebody that's going to match her
00:19:10and she can fall in love with.
00:19:24Jade and Ridge's guests have arrived and are waiting for them
00:19:27at a ceremony being held in the grounds of Sydney's Taronga Zoo.
00:19:32Are you parents?
00:19:33Parents?
00:19:34Mum and Dad?
00:19:37Hello.
00:19:40Hi.
00:19:41How are you guys?
00:19:42How are you guys?
00:19:43Are you excited?
00:19:44I'm excited.
00:19:46And as our original couples take their seats...
00:19:49Dad's standing up the back.
00:19:50Hi, Dad.
00:19:52Jade's father Grant and sister Jasmine
00:19:54are reflecting on how much Jade has invested in the outcome of the experiment.
00:20:00You know, as a father, you always want your kids to be happy.
00:20:03Obviously, I don't know the young man.
00:20:05I don't know his family yet.
00:20:08But hopefully he treats her with respect.
00:20:11Are you guys excited?
00:20:13I'm a little bit nervous.
00:20:14You're nervous?
00:20:15Maybe.
00:20:17Hopefully, he is exactly what Jade's looking for.
00:20:20Someone family-orientated and mature.
00:20:28I think she'll be a bit disappointed if he's not.
00:20:32I'll see you boys.
00:20:33I'll see you boys down in the aisle.
00:20:35You're going to kill him.
00:20:36100%.
00:20:43No regrets.
00:20:44No regrets.
00:20:46You might meet the love of your life.
00:20:48I know.
00:20:49And that's stressing me more.
00:20:51Because I'm about to meet someone who I might think is amazing.
00:20:54I have really high expectations and hopes at the moment.
00:20:59Yeah.
00:21:01If you see him...
00:21:02I feel like...
00:21:03What could be an ick?
00:21:05As much as I want a strong personality, if he was, like, really, like, cocky, yes.
00:21:12Mm-hmm.
00:21:15I feel like my wife's first impression is going to be, like, I got lucky here.
00:21:20I've got a lot of things going for me.
00:21:21I've got a lot of things people do find attractive in a partner.
00:21:24And I'm finally ready to give that to her.
00:21:29Sometimes it gets mistaken for being cocky.
00:21:33I say it's a fine line between cocky and confident.
00:21:37And I'm very confident with myself and who I am as a person.
00:21:44Hey, you are jokes.
00:21:46Oh, no.
00:21:46This is unreal, everybody.
00:21:48Oh, jeez.
00:21:50Hey.
00:21:50The view.
00:21:50Hey, guys.
00:21:52How are you?
00:21:52The old man.
00:21:53How are you?
00:21:56Where are we?
00:21:58Jesus Christ.
00:22:01Hey.
00:22:02Hi.
00:22:03G'day.
00:22:04How are we?
00:22:04It's Kraken.
00:22:05How are we?
00:22:06Hi, Mum.
00:22:06Hi, Dad.
00:22:08Hey, guys.
00:22:10Ridge.
00:22:10It's Kraken.
00:22:12Rich.
00:22:13Rick.
00:22:15What is it?
00:22:17I don't know, yeah.
00:22:18It's Kraken.
00:22:20Ridge.
00:22:21Ridge.
00:22:21Ridge.
00:22:22Ridge.
00:22:23Oh.
00:22:24Ridge.
00:22:25I heard Ridge.
00:22:28Hello.
00:22:28How are you?
00:22:33Anyone came for a drink?
00:22:36Yeah.
00:22:37I'll take two.
00:22:43I feel like if he's cocky, I would not be able to hide, like, my facial expression, so he'll know
00:22:48straight away.
00:22:49Yeah.
00:22:51Beautiful day, isn't it?
00:22:52Yeah.
00:22:53It's gorgeous.
00:22:55Not as gorgeous as you are.
00:22:57Say it louder, brother.
00:23:00Say it louder.
00:23:07Say it louder.
00:23:10Do you remember that feeling?
00:23:13You'd like this.
00:23:17Can't lie, I'm a bit nervous about if I'm going to be attracted to her or not.
00:23:24I need to be attracted to her.
00:23:27Because that's the end of the day, I'm not going to get hard for a personality.
00:23:31So I've tried, it doesn't work.
00:23:34That's the number one in my head.
00:23:42I'm not much a religious man, but I'll be afraid.
00:23:49There's a lot of writing on this.
00:24:00She's gorgeous.
00:24:02Like, man, days.
00:24:06100%.
00:24:07As soon as I saw her, I was just like, yeah.
00:24:10I was looking for a nice smile, nice eyes.
00:24:14Yeah, tidy rig, just, yeah.
00:24:16All of it she had, and I'm just like, oh, shit.
00:24:19Hey, how are you?
00:24:20I'm rich.
00:24:20How's it doing, how's it doing?
00:24:21How's it doing?
00:24:23How's it doing?
00:24:24How's it doing?
00:24:32How's it doing?
00:24:33How's it doing?
00:24:33How's it doing?
00:24:33How's it doing?
00:24:33It's okay, we're fine.
00:24:35It's all good.
00:24:36You look unreal though.
00:24:37Thank you, you look good too.
00:24:40First impression, he is very nice to look at.
00:24:44So, out of 10, I'm going to give him a solid...
00:24:49eight family and friends we're here today to witness and to celebrate a truly extraordinary
00:24:56occasion two courageous strangers choosing to be with each other and to be vulnerable
00:25:06so with that choice and to begin your story jade and ridge it's now time to exchange your vows
00:25:17thank you okay feeling very nervous i would just like to start by saying i'm here today to give

00:25:59like to thank everyone for coming to our special day i think it's also fitting that we're here in
00:26:04taronga zoo because you've met the king of the jungle but enough about that
00:26:13that's how boy
00:26:18if i had to describe myself i'd say i was kind caring compassionate and gorgeous
00:26:23but that's just scratching the surface
00:26:29true to form but as a husband and partner i promise to always provide a sturdy shoulder for
00:26:34you to cry on hopefully not because of me oh god
00:26:45i think that yeah bridge making jokes and stuff um wasn't the best for jade i know you don't know
00:26:54me
00:26:55but what i aim to provide more than anything is safety and security in our relationship
00:27:03because i know you girls love that stuff
00:27:10he maybe comes across as a little bit immature for jade
00:27:16it wasn't maybe what she expected i know the experts had their work cut out finding me the
00:27:22perfect match but now boys give us a deece
00:27:34i'm not sure about the deece

00:31:23But there's only one word on everybody's lips.
00:31:27Deuce!
00:31:28Which obviously means decent, I guess.
00:31:33Deuce.
00:31:34Deuce.
00:31:34Deuce.
00:31:35Deuce.
00:31:35Yeah, you guys knew it was decent.

00:31:48Oh, dear.
00:31:48Oh, dear.
00:31:51I'm excited for her.
00:31:52I think he's got a really good sense of humour and I feel like he's been really good for
00:31:55her.
00:31:56I think he's got a good heart, too.
00:31:58Yeah.
00:31:58I'm just working about the maturity.
00:32:01And I'm like, is he just going to lose those boys?
00:32:15Uh, ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together for the newlyweds, Jade and Ridge.
00:32:22I love the rest.
00:32:23Oh, jeez.
00:32:29Oh, I'll let him do that.
00:32:35Hey, my brother, what's good?

00:32:37Yeah, you look so good.
00:32:39Oh, man. Yeah, you look good.
00:32:41Oh, my gosh.
00:32:42I don't know where the drinks are.
00:32:43It's hot.
00:32:45It's swollen.
00:32:45Yeah, I was very close to me, it's swollen.
00:32:47Because everyone was to listen.
00:32:50Cheers, my boys.
00:32:51Oh, you've already finished it.
00:32:52Surprise, surprise.
00:32:54Cheers, my boys.
00:32:55Cheers, ma.
00:32:55Cheers, girls.
00:32:57Cheers.
00:32:58I think the wedding went really well.
00:32:59Kissing was deece.
00:33:01Very deece.
00:33:02Deece.
00:33:03I'll kiss the old bird a couple more times if she's lucky.
00:33:07We were just in the waiting room and stuff, just for booze and some of us were there.
00:33:10I'm Jane.
00:33:11Nice to meet you, guys.
00:33:12This is the old bird, Jane.
00:33:14Hey, deece.
00:33:15No.
00:33:17Yeah, some of his little, like, comments.
00:33:20Yeah, Jade made my leg shake.
00:33:23The old girl.
00:33:24I don't think Jade's ever come across, like, someone like that.
00:33:28It comes across really immature.
00:33:30Oh, we need a refill on the drinks.
00:33:33Jade, is it Jade or Jade?
00:33:35Jade.
00:33:37She was trying to look happy and smiley, but she probably felt awkward.
00:33:43Jade.
00:33:45He said it could be French, legit.
00:33:48She has a daughter, so she doesn't want two kids.
00:33:51Yeah, I know.
00:33:52I am a little worried.
00:33:54Being a mum, I need someone who I feel like I am safe with and can depend on.
00:33:59But, um, he's definitely not mature in a lot of ways, I think.
00:34:07But who else would you want?
00:34:09Mate, aren't you?
00:34:10Come on, mate.
00:34:10Exactly.
00:34:11We've almost stolen the show.
00:34:14They say, they say, Jerry, next year, I said, relax.
00:34:17Yeah.
00:34:17I do know he does hang out with the boys a lot.
00:34:20There's no way.
00:34:21I heard that.
00:34:23Um, he still lives at home.
00:34:27I have not seen any real depth to him just yet.
00:34:30It's all making me on and off about when to tell him about my daughter.
00:34:37So, have you siblings?
00:34:39My brother in the black.
00:34:42And then my sister in the blue.
00:34:44Okay.
00:34:45At this point, I feel like we are just having a lot of small talk.
00:34:49And I need to tell him about her.
00:34:5226 and married, eh?
00:34:54I know.
00:34:55That's a young pup.
00:34:57But I feel like in South Africa, it's like an old one.
00:34:59Is it?
00:35:00Yeah.
00:35:01Is your sister younger than you?
00:35:01No, my sister's older than me.
00:35:03But she's already been engaged.
00:35:04Okay.
00:35:06Any kids?
00:35:08Yeah, yeah.
00:35:08Yeah, she has.
00:35:10Um, a son.
00:35:11Okay.
00:35:14And...
00:35:19This is a really hard one.
00:35:22And what?
00:35:24I just really need to see if we're just ready for me and be...
00:35:30There is so much pressure right now.
00:35:34Um...
00:35:35I have no idea how he's going to react.
00:35:54And...
00:35:56And what?
00:36:00Um...
00:36:04I have a daughter.
00:36:06Oh, do you really?
00:36:07Yeah.
00:36:08Ooh, what's her name?
00:36:09Victoria.
00:36:10Ooh, nice.
00:36:10How old are you?
00:36:12She is seven.
00:36:14Ooh.
00:36:18That can be busy.
00:36:19Yes.
00:36:20Mm.
00:36:22Mm.
00:36:23Yeah.
00:36:24So.
00:36:25Mm.
00:36:25So.
00:36:25Mm.
00:36:27Um.
00:36:34Mm.
00:36:35Oh, we need a refill on the drinks.
00:36:40Mm.
00:36:43Mm.
00:36:44Mm.
00:36:45Mm.
00:36:45Mm.
00:36:52Um.
00:36:54Yeah.
00:36:54So, like, that's right now, dude.
00:36:57Mm.
00:36:58Um, yeah.
00:36:59I appreciate it, honestly.
00:37:00But yeah, that's sick.
00:37:01I can't wait to meet her.
00:37:05Her having a daughter doesn't faze me one bit.
00:37:07At the end of the day,
00:37:08I came here to look for something
00:37:09that's going to last a lifetime, you know?
00:37:11And it's still early,
00:37:12but yeah, there's good energy, there's good vibes.
00:37:15I'll tell you how I know,
00:37:16it's…
00:37:17because my mom is in the same situation.
00:37:20With my…
00:37:20so my older sister is my half-sister.
00:37:23So I've got a very…
00:37:27first-hand understanding
00:37:28of how it can work.
00:37:32It doesn't bother me because I've lived it.
00:37:34My mom had a kid with her previous partner before my dad,
00:37:38and from a young age, I've watched my dad look after my older sister
00:37:42like he was his own.
00:37:43So I know it's possible.
00:37:45And I'm very, very adaptable.
00:37:46I'm very, very, uh, able and willing to work together.
00:37:51Jade seems like an awesome girl, and I've always seen myself as being a dad.
00:37:58I want to give this everything that I've got, make the most of it,
00:38:01and do what's best by her and us in this experiment.
00:38:06It's alright, darling, I've got you. We're good.
00:38:10That was nice. I was very surprised.
00:38:13He does seem like he's ready to deal with, like, having a child.
00:38:17And obviously, like, he has a stepsister as well.
00:38:20So, like, that made me feel a lot better.
00:38:26I am very happy with how today is going,
00:38:30and very happy with my husband.
00:38:32But nice, nice. Yeah.
00:38:34It is so comfortable being around someone who just jokes about everything
00:38:38and is really playful.
00:38:40And he's also ready to settle down.
00:38:43I'm in my little love bubble at the moment.
00:38:53As the last of the formalities gets underway...
00:38:59..the stage is set for Jade and Ridge to really let their hair down.
00:39:07Ladies and gentlemen, the bride and groom's first dance.
00:39:11Give it up for Ridge and Jade!
00:39:25Jade and...
00:39:27..what's his name? Ridge?
00:39:30I mean, they were joking around with each other.
00:39:32She seemed pretty giddy.
00:39:36It was so good watching someone else do what we had to do.
00:39:41It was definitely a really good chemistry and a great pie.
00:39:44Oh, my God!
00:39:46It's all energy, babe. Trust me.
00:39:48OK.
00:39:48It's all energy.
00:39:50Yeah, I feel way better than I did when I first saw him.
00:39:54She definitely likes Ridge.
00:39:56And I hope that they both have a fun, loving relationship
00:40:00because that's all Jade wants.
00:40:02One more.
00:40:04One more.
00:40:05I wouldn't change anything.
00:40:08I didn't know what to expect when I came to this experiment.
00:40:10I didn't know how I was going to react when I saw her.
00:40:13But so far, so good.
00:40:14Like, she's a cracker girl.
00:40:16I don't even know how to describe it.
00:40:19But, uh, yeah.
00:40:22Tonight was deece.
00:40:40As a new day dawns on the Sky Suites in Sydney, a special guest has arrived to visit one of
00:40:47the experiment's most well-loved couples.
00:40:57Hello!
00:40:59Hi, John.
00:41:00Good to see you, Miss Bella.
00:41:02It's good to see you as well.
00:41:02You're looking handsome as per usual.
00:41:04Come on in.
00:41:05After weeks of intimacy issues, Cassandra has reached out to me for help.
00:41:10Time to unpack all of this, eh?
00:41:12Yes.
00:41:13She's been struggling to get her concerns across to Tristan, and now she's at breaking point.
00:41:19It's my role to not only be there to support, guide and advise our couples, but also to intervene when
00:41:26necessary.
00:41:29So you're really thinking now, Cass, about kind of where you stand with him?
00:41:34Is that what's happening?
00:41:35Um, I'm just really struggling with Tristan.
00:41:40He's not affectionate.
00:41:42I have really been so patient, and I'm really over this.
00:41:47I feel like I'm just a friend.
00:41:50I don't feel like we're husband and wife.
00:41:54Right.
00:41:57Tristan, do you find you want to be more affectionate with her?
00:42:00Of course I do.
00:42:01And I, like, I wish it wasn't this hard, but, like, the intimacy part is just nerve-wracking.
00:42:08But the want is there.
00:42:10Yeah.
00:42:11That's something we can deal with.
00:42:14Because what I can see here is a couple that's actually keen on each other, but just don't know how
00:42:21to do it.
00:42:21The first thing you need to do is to ask questions about each other's inner world.
00:42:29Questions like, what do you hope for?
00:42:32Or, what are you scared of?
00:42:34And there is something else.
00:42:37You, I think, as a couple, would do well with little rituals of connection.
00:42:43They're like small things daily and often.
00:42:45It can be, you know, a little coffee or it can be you guys always get up at 6 o
00:42:52'clock in the morning and you go for a walk together.
00:42:54As you start to do these things and dig deeper, you'll feel safer to touch her.
00:43:01I can do that. That can be fun.
00:43:03I mean, she's an amazing woman and she wants touch from you.
00:43:07Yeah.
00:43:08Not from anybody else.
00:43:10I'm sorry.
00:43:11Just the intimacy. I didn't, like, I know it's always been a big deal, but I realise now it's like
00:43:16a big, big, big deal.
00:43:17Like, you know?
00:43:18Yeah.
00:43:19I get it.
00:43:20I need to learn how to shut up and listen.
00:43:23Cass loves intimacy, so I need to start sitting on the couch.
00:43:26Start giving her some snuggles.
00:43:28Snuggles with the tea bear, you know?
00:43:30I was surprised when I heard that you do want to do that stuff because I didn't think you wanted
00:43:34to.
00:43:36Yeah, of course I do.
00:43:37Yeah, of course I do.
00:43:39I feel so much better.
00:43:41I think he just finally understands what I'm talking about.
00:43:46Holding hands, touch, that's all I need.
00:43:50See? Pats on the head.
00:43:51No, I'm kidding.
00:43:52Come on, give us a cuddle.
00:43:53Let's go.
00:43:54See intimacy.
00:43:56So hopefully John has put us back on the husband and wife course.
00:44:00Because that's what I want.
00:44:01That's what I came here for.
00:44:07Still to come.
00:44:08Last night I was getting in my own head about your intention for being here.
00:44:15Will Stephen's insecurities derail the honeymoon?
00:44:20And later...
00:44:21I love you beyond.
00:44:22I love you beyond.
00:44:23I love you beyond.
00:44:25I don't know what is going on.
00:44:27Psychic medium Madeline's spirit guides make a surprise appearance at dinner.
00:44:32I'm a f***ing weirdo.
00:44:33No.
00:44:34It's annoying.
00:44:56You happy hour?
00:45:00Well done.
00:45:01You happy hour?
00:45:01You're good.
00:45:02It's the morning after the wedding of the final couple of The Experiment.
00:45:06Are you tired?
00:45:08I was last night. That's for you.
00:45:11And for Ridge, the start of a transition
00:45:13from living at home with his parents
00:45:15to married life with new wife Jade.
00:45:19Did you make the bed?
00:45:21Yes.
00:45:22Did you actually?
00:45:23I actually did. Go check it.
00:45:25Man, I like that. I'm a quick learner.
00:45:28Mmm.
00:45:28I think the experts have done a really good job.
00:45:31I feel like she's very driven. She knows what she wants.
00:45:33You know, I find that really attractive in her.
00:45:34But, you know, I'm not trying to force anything or rush anything.
00:45:38Like, she's already married to me.
00:45:39Like, she's got something that a lot of girls
00:45:41I know in the past would have loved to do.
00:45:44I mean, lucky her.
00:45:46She's in the pole position.
00:45:55That is nice.
00:45:57That's so cute.
00:45:59As Madeline and Ash arrive in Aladulla...
00:46:01You know me, I need to talk like this.
00:46:03Oh my God, there's a bath!
00:46:06Are you serious?
00:46:07I didn't even see that.
00:46:08What?
00:46:10In Tasmania, it's a slow start to the day.
00:46:13Have you woken up yet?
00:46:16No.
00:46:17As Stephen wakes from a restless night,
00:46:20spent worrying about being Michael's replacement groom.
00:46:23Yeah, I touched and turned a fair bit last night.
00:46:26Did you?
00:46:27Yeah.
00:46:28I didn't toss and turn, I just saw you toss and turn.
00:46:31So...
00:46:31Last night, I was playing on my mind a bit.
00:46:33I was getting in my own head about a lot of things.
00:46:37Um...
00:46:38I am struggling with you being matched prior to this
00:46:42and your intention for being here.
00:46:45And if you wanted to, you know, get to know me
00:46:49and you were doing this to get to know me,
00:46:51or if it was just anyone.
00:46:53Yeah, look, I think the outside noise of previously being matched
00:46:58and then not pulling out,
00:47:00I could see how that would weigh on your mind
00:47:02because then I'm still here, obviously.
00:47:04Yeah, yeah.
00:47:04And that makes you question whether...
00:47:07Yeah.
00:47:08Well, if I'm just a...
00:47:09If I'm here.
00:47:09Yeah, but, I mean...
00:47:13I believe everything happens for a reason.
00:47:15Yeah.
00:47:16And you're in front of me for a reason.
00:47:17Yeah.
00:47:18And I feel so at ease with you.
00:47:19Like, and I'm so attracted to you.
00:47:21And I...
00:47:22I honestly, again, wouldn't want anybody else here with me
00:47:26through this.
00:47:26Like, I'm actually happy that you're here.
00:47:29Yeah.
00:47:29Yeah, thanks.
00:47:30And I want you to let them walls down.
00:47:32Yeah.
00:47:32So we can explore more of us.
00:47:35Yeah.
00:47:35And grow us together.
00:47:36Yeah.
00:47:37His walls are up, guarded,
00:47:38thinking that he's coming in as a replacement,
00:47:40which is...
00:47:41I don't see it that way.
00:47:42You would not, baby.
00:47:44I just need to figure out how to make him realize, like,
00:47:46you are my guy.
00:47:49I feel like we are so compatible
00:47:51in so many different ways
00:47:52and on so many different levels
00:47:55that, yeah, like...
00:47:57The universe works in mysterious ways.
00:47:59Yeah, I know.
00:48:00Having the second chance at love
00:48:02means the world to me.
00:48:03Getting married at first sight,
00:48:05it's been a long time coming,
00:48:06and I want to make this work with him.
00:48:08So today, I'm putting on my little worker hat.
00:48:12I am feeling like...
00:48:14I'm just gonna do the best I can
00:48:17to be the best husband
00:48:17and putting my ease and comfort,
00:48:20so...
00:48:20I feel like challenge accepted.
00:48:23Just gotta get you to bring your walls down.
00:48:25Oh, no.
00:48:26Yeah.
00:48:39With Jade and Ridge's arrival at Port Stephens,
00:48:41a couple of hours north of Sydney...
00:48:44Oh, it's pretty.
00:48:45Very nice.
00:48:46My love.
00:48:48All three of our newlyweds are now on their honeymoons.
00:48:53This is...
00:48:54Nice.
00:48:56Ooh!
00:48:58This is sexy!
00:49:01This is sexy!
00:49:03In Ulladulla, Ash is hoping to move past Madeline's quirks
00:49:07and find a deeper connection with his new wife.
00:49:10Is this romance?
00:49:11Yes!
00:49:13And has organised a surprise lunch and clay-making date.
00:49:17I just get great...
00:49:19Look!
00:49:20I love this stuff!
00:49:21Look at this stuff!
00:49:22For Madeline, it's an opportunity to gauge her new husband's view
00:49:26on her larger-than-life personality and erratic moods.
00:49:30This is so...
00:49:31Like, honestly...
00:49:32Come on!
00:49:33Come on!
00:49:35Ash!
00:49:36It's a pretty nice setting.
00:49:37I'm someone that tests people because I do have big emotions
00:49:41and I feel like it takes a big energy to be able to hold space for that.
00:49:45Okay, what are we gonna commit to today?
00:49:47Because every day is a new day.
00:49:49You know this.
00:49:49To fun.
00:49:50Ash is cool.
00:49:51Cheers!
00:49:52Cheers!
00:49:52I feel like he is definitely capable of holding that space.
00:49:57And I'm interested to hear what he says about it.
00:50:02So...
00:50:03I want you to know, I cry so much.
00:50:05Obviously you picked that up.
00:50:06I cry so often.
00:50:07Okay.
00:50:08But it's like only because I care about like everything so much.
00:50:13Okay.
00:50:14Appreciate that.
00:50:15I mean, there's nothing wrong with getting emotional, right?
00:50:18I think you're an emotional person.
00:50:20You know, I have nothing against crying.
00:50:22Okay, good.
00:50:22Crying's healthy.
00:50:23Yeah.
00:50:24Right?
00:50:24Nothing against crying.
00:50:25Yeah.
00:50:26I remember I grew up with three sisters.
00:50:28I know.
00:50:28There's a lot of crying.
00:50:29There's a lot of crying going on.
00:50:33Lots of crying.
00:50:35But although she's up and down, it seems like Madeline is coming from a place of kindness
00:50:40and goodness.
00:50:41And I slowly think I'm making some progress.
00:50:44Baby, baby steps.
00:50:45Real tiny steps.
00:50:46But I can see she's a really beautiful person with a kind heart and a nice soul.
00:50:51I just want to say like, I love you for always like accepting me and like always like being
00:50:57there because I don't know.
00:51:01Like I just, I think that you're a really beautiful human being because you like.
00:51:04You think I'm there for you?
00:51:05Yeah, I do.
00:51:06A hundred percent.
00:51:06And I think you're really beautiful because you're always so loving and accepting.
00:51:10I can only speak for me.
00:51:11I feel like I am starting to get to know you.
00:51:13Yeah.
00:51:14And I actually like it.
00:51:15I do like it.
00:51:16I feel positive energy with Ash.
00:51:18I feel like we are making headway and I feel like he's so intelligent.
00:51:22He's so deep.
00:51:23He's so loving and kind.
00:51:26Yeah, I think we're so much closer.
00:51:28Let's get one of these now.
00:51:29Do you wanna?
00:51:31I'll watch you manhandle that mother **** like God knows what.
00:51:36The fact that Madeline is actually being vulnerable is growing the connection for me.
00:51:41There's a few inklings or there's a few things where I can see why we're potentially being matched that are
00:51:46starting to show up.
00:51:48How did you write something in it?
00:51:50Yeah.
00:51:51Like what?
00:51:53I don't know.
00:51:53How you feel?
00:51:55On that.
00:51:57She's funny, outgoing.
00:51:59I'll write M&A.
00:52:00M&A.
00:52:01Aww.
00:52:02She's also sweet, fun to be around.
00:52:04This is like we're back in like kindergarten together.
00:52:08It's a great lunch.
00:52:09It was a great day.
00:52:10I felt like I was connecting with Madeline.
00:52:14So I'm loving it.
00:52:16Coming up.
00:52:17You sure you're alright?
00:52:17That's brilliant.
00:52:18Is Ash still loving it?
00:52:20Why am I so ****ing annoying?
00:52:23When Madeline unleashes the full force of her emotions.
00:52:27**** me.
00:52:27On a romantic countryside walk.
00:52:30It's not normal.
00:52:31No.
00:52:44In Port Stephens, it's an early start for Jade and Ridge.
00:52:48We're going to go to the gym.
00:52:50We're going to go to the gym.
00:52:52Gym and coffee.
00:52:53Coffee and gym.
00:52:55But there's more than just coffee and gym on the newlyweds' minds.
00:53:02How come you're glowing?
00:53:03What's going on?
00:53:06I'm not.
00:53:06Did you sleep well last night or something?
00:53:07Yeah.
00:53:08Good night's sleep as well.
00:53:09Yeah.
00:53:09Would they usually do the trick?
00:53:10Mm-hmm.
00:53:12So you're looking tanner and you're glowing today.
00:53:18Any danger of telling me why you're glowing or?
00:53:21Shut up.
00:53:22Did you use a new moisturiser or?
00:53:24Yeah.
00:53:24Yeah.
00:53:25So why are you glowing?
00:53:29If you're asking if we banged, we did.
00:53:32And I'm not talking about this.
00:53:36You've got a couple of skills in the bag, don't you?
00:53:41Oh my gosh.
00:53:45Are we getting a divorce soon?
00:53:46I hope you choke on your coffee.
00:53:49I am feeling good.
00:53:52So far.
00:53:56At least you know what you get with me all the time, you know?
00:53:59High energy.
00:54:00High res.
00:54:01Him.
00:54:02A lot of the time, I still have no idea what he's saying.
00:54:06I wouldn't mind proper English, but it's alright.
00:54:09But like, yes, I would definitely say we're compatible.
00:54:15Let's bounce.
00:54:16Let's make like a tree and a leaf.
00:54:20That's stupid.
00:54:21What?
00:54:21That's a good one.
00:54:22I don't understand that.
00:54:23Make like a tree and leaf.
00:54:25Like, make like a tree and leave.
00:54:27With Ridge still explaining his jokes...
00:54:32In Tasmania, Stephen's come to the realisation he's ready to move past his insecurities about
00:54:38being the second groom to join Michael in the experiment.
00:54:43You've been matched prior.
00:54:44It's just my first instinct to feel shut off and guarded.
00:54:50But like, I wish I wasn't.
00:54:52It's a huge flaw of mine.
00:54:55And I'm really trying to work through it with you.
00:54:57Yeah.
00:54:58Because, you know, you are this perfect, nice, kind, considerate, good-looking guy.
00:55:05I don't want to get hurt.
00:55:06But yeah, I definitely, definitely feel like I need to loosen up.
00:55:09He realised that he needs to become a little bit more playful.
00:55:12I'm happy that he's willing to loosen up a bit.
00:55:15Let's go.
00:55:16Maybe I can flirt a little bit more and I can draw you in a little bit more.
00:55:21Better watch out.
00:55:21I'm good at what I do.
00:55:22I'm looking forward to him being a little light-hearted and a little bit more humorous.
00:55:26Yeah, exactly.
00:55:28And I can go a long way.
00:55:29Okay.
00:55:30Thank you for letting me get Pinot Noir.
00:55:33Thank you for choosing Bray.
00:55:34While Michael and Stephen drink to their progress.
00:55:42Madeleine and Ash are also celebrating the end of a successful day with a romantic walk in the countryside.
00:55:53Try and get close to have a look.
00:55:58You sure you're all right?
00:55:59Not really.
00:56:00But a visit to the resort's resident cow herd has Madeleine processing a wave of unexpected emotion.
00:56:10It's like a dog. Can you whistle at him?
00:56:12Come here.
00:56:15You don't have to, actually. I'm sorry.
00:56:18We had cows for dinners last night.
00:56:22And now I regret that.
00:56:26Oh my God.
00:56:27F***ing no more red meat.
00:56:29Just...
00:56:29No, just no more eating f***ing animals.
00:56:36Like...
00:56:44Hey, at least we didn't eat these ones.
00:56:47Well then, they're still here.
00:56:49I'm gonna cry.
00:56:51Don't!
00:56:52Oh!
00:56:53Why am I so f***ing annoying?
00:56:58Crying.
00:57:00Crying.
00:57:07Hi babies.
00:57:08I love you guys.
00:57:09If you want to come say hi, you can.
00:57:11I don't know if this is a good idea.
00:57:13Why?
00:57:14Are they friendly?
00:57:16Checking you can touch them.
00:57:18Come here, bobbies.
00:57:19I love you.
00:57:23Hi, honeys.
00:57:24It's okay, guys.
00:57:25I know.
00:57:26I love you.
00:57:26They're all so scared.
00:57:28Why do they have to be so scared?
00:57:30I know they're so scared because of us as human beings.
00:57:33I'm wearing all black, so maybe they think I'm a cow.
00:57:35No, they just think that we're just gonna hurt them.
00:57:38It's like f***ing that's why I'm so sad.
00:57:40Because we did hurt them.
00:57:43So seeing the cows, seeing the cow cows, seeing the cowies was like...
00:57:48Seeing my dog.
00:57:50I love you.
00:57:51And I wouldn't dare eat him.
00:57:53So I won't dare eat these beautiful creatures ever again.
00:57:58I love you guys.
00:58:02I'm sorry.
00:58:04F*** me.
00:58:07Very confused by the tears, yeah.
00:58:09God.
00:58:10I don't know how you can go from eating meat one night to crying the next day, but she seemed
00:58:15pretty upset about it.
00:58:16Hey, guys.
00:58:18Do you like us?
00:58:19I know that Madeline's a really, really caring person and a sweet person, but she has this side to her.
00:58:27It's not normal.
00:58:28I don't know what is going on.
00:58:30Like, it's quite hard to make sense of some of these things.
00:58:34It's not normal.
00:58:40Coming up...
00:58:41I love you beyond. I love you beyond. I love you beyond.
00:58:43You're actually getting like...
00:58:44Hold on a sec.
00:58:48I don't know what is going on.
00:58:50Psychic medium Madeline receives messages from the other side.
00:58:54A f***ing widow.
00:58:55As her relationship with Ash takes another hit.
00:58:59Did you enjoy your meal?
00:59:00I did, yeah.
00:59:11In Tassie, Michael and Stephen have decided to celebrate the last afternoon of their honeymoon.
00:59:17In the bath.
00:59:18Oh, honey.
00:59:20Made my way down.
00:59:21Strong.
00:59:22Yeah, you've got to phase into it.
00:59:24First things first.
00:59:26Wherever we move and live in the world, I need this bathroom.
00:59:29Yeah, nice and cozy in here.
00:59:32Heater floors, the bathtub, double vanity.
00:59:35That's goals right there.
00:59:37Secondly, this cleans impurities.
00:59:41Someone's going to scrub you in general.
00:59:43Yes, we took a little bath together.
00:59:45But the walls are now gone.
00:59:49Yeah, amazing.
00:59:50They're sorted.
00:59:51For our marriage tonight, and even the first night of our honeymoon, I would never have imagined
00:59:55him jumping in the bath with me and just being so relaxed.
00:59:59And I do love it.
01:00:01But like, surely this is a cheers moment.
01:00:04Final cheers of the honeymoon.
01:00:05Cheers to, yeah, a wild adventure and getting to know each other.
01:00:14Do you think, like, the universe puts people in front of you?
01:00:17Yeah, I do.
01:00:18Like, actually, yeah.
01:00:19Okay, good.
01:00:20Yeah.
01:00:20Yeah, good.
01:00:20I agree.
01:00:21In Aladala, following an emotional afternoon with the cows.
01:00:25Now we're here.
01:00:26Yeah.
01:00:26And we're going to have a great dinner.
01:00:27Ash is determined to end his honeymoon with Madeline.
01:00:31Yeah.
01:00:31On a high.
01:00:32Yeah.
01:00:33Now I'm like, what's that?
01:00:34What's going to go wrong?
01:00:35That's what I think.
01:00:37Don't.
01:00:37I know, I know.
01:00:38That's me and my monkey brain.
01:00:40Shush, shush, shush, shush, shush, shush.
01:00:41Nothing's going to go wrong.
01:00:42Nothing's going wrong.
01:00:43Lots and all, right?
01:00:44So, it's the last night of our honeymoon.
01:00:48And I do want to make a big, big effort with Ash.
01:00:52Because I know I can be really hard sometimes.
01:00:56Next minute I'm drunk and I'll be like, what did you say?
01:00:59No, I'm kidding.
01:01:00That's why I'm trying not to drink.
01:01:03I feel so lucky that it was him that I was matched with.
01:01:07And I feel like I'm learning so much about myself and about relationships because of him.
01:01:12So, I just want him to be able to have a good night.
01:01:15Tonight I sense a shift and I'm loving that shift.
01:01:18I'm loving the shift.
01:01:20What shift?
01:01:21I don't know.
01:01:21I just feel like you're being more you.
01:01:23You're being more Madeline.
01:01:25You're being raw.
01:01:26Like, I just, yeah, I feel it.
01:01:27I sense it.
01:01:28I wonder, like, what the hell we're up for next.
01:01:32We're...
01:01:34We're jumping in the deep end.
01:01:35We are going in the deep end.
01:01:38Are you ready?
01:01:41I don't know.
01:01:42Because I'm vibing it.
01:01:45Are you ready for, like, in this experiment, are you ready for, like, people going to be asking questions?
01:01:52I feel you, you, you, I, hopefully you're ready for it because it's going to come.
01:01:58Did you go to a Deb Ball?
01:02:01Yes.

01:02:23I want to, like, it's related to this.
01:02:24It's related to us.
01:02:25I don't remember anything bad happening.
01:02:26Well, did you get into an altercation?
01:02:29I can't.

01:02:37I love you.
01:02:37Hold on.
01:02:43Yeah, I know.
01:02:45It's hard because they all want to talk.
01:02:47Everyone wants to talk to you.
01:02:49Do you know what I mean?
01:02:50Everyone wants to talk to you and I want them to be able to communicate, but I don't too
01:02:54because it's, like, scary.
01:02:57Can you just know you're so protected?
01:02:59I love you.
01:02:59You're so protected.
01:03:01You are so protected and I'm sorry that I even, like, suggested anything like that.
01:03:05I'm sorry.
01:03:06It's fine.
01:03:06Blessings on you.

01:03:14I love you beyond.
01:03:16Beyond, beyond, beyond.
01:03:24I don't know what is going on.
01:03:27Oh, I love you.
01:03:27I love you.
01:03:28Sorry.
01:03:28And I'm sorry.
01:03:29I'm so sorry.

01:03:34And they were already talking.
01:03:35Yeah.
01:03:35Hold on.
01:03:36Things are good.
01:03:37And then she started hearing voices.
01:03:39And they were talking about me.
01:03:45And they were saying things about me.
01:03:48Know that I...
01:03:55Yeah.
01:03:57They're still talking to you?
01:03:58Oh, yes.

01:03:59Sorry.
01:04:00Yeah.
01:04:20Things are good.

01:04:29Sorry.
01:04:30It's all good.
01:04:30I'm sorry.

01:04:32I take it seriously.
01:04:32I need you to know that.
01:04:34Yeah.
01:04:34Never encountered voices at the dinner table.
01:04:37Normally just potatoes and lamb and salad.
01:04:40Never voices.
01:04:41You're actually getting like...
01:04:43Hold on a sec.
01:04:47I probably shouldn't be laughing about it.
01:04:49But to me, it's so crazy that that's the only emotion that I have.
01:04:53What?
01:04:54They're actually talking to you now?
01:04:55Yeah.

01:05:06me so much about you, but like without telling me, if that makes sense.

01:06:10That old.
01:06:11I'll never do it again.
01:06:12No, it's funny.
01:06:14It's actually funny.
01:06:14No, but like that's what I'm saying.
01:06:15It's okay.
01:06:16This is why I'm like a weirdo.
01:06:18You're a wood.
01:06:19No, I am.
01:06:20I'm a weirdo.
01:06:21No, it's annoying.
01:06:23But I hope it wasn't horrible.
01:06:29Did you enjoy your meal?
01:06:31I did, yeah.

01:06:33Honestly, that was splendid.
01:06:50What the f***?
01:06:55We've heard some stuff.
01:06:58But that is...
01:07:00It's things you can't say.
01:07:03And that is one of them.
01:07:05If there was anyone saying that to Jade, I would have lost it.
01:07:08Absolutely lost it.
01:07:10That's not cool.
01:07:11My mum would beat me if I ever said that to a woman.
01:07:15Not funny.
01:07:16Not appropriate.
01:07:18Not now, not never.
01:07:19Not to no one.
01:07:20Tomorrow, a line will be crossed.
01:07:32Jack has just showed his true colours.
