00:00:01Your match.
00:00:03He no longer wanted to be a part of the experiment.
00:00:08Previously, Michael's devastating news...
00:00:10I feel like somebody just ripped my heart out of my chest.
00:00:13...turned to hope.
00:00:14We are looking at new matches for you
00:00:16because we want to find you the fairy tale.
00:00:21Meanwhile...
00:00:21Just hope he's not gonna think he's a boxer
00:00:24and he's heartless and he doesn't have the ability to love.
00:00:27Kickboxer Jaden overcame his own self-doubt...
00:00:30Were you this nervous, bro?
00:00:33...to give Eden her fairy tale wedding day.
00:00:37It was perfect. It was 10 out of 10.
00:00:40Before...
00:00:43...quirky bride Natalie...
00:00:45Alright, we're going!
00:00:47...was besotted with her new groom...
00:00:50I just want to wrap my arms around him all the time.
00:00:53...but Colin's lack of relationship experience...
00:00:56How are you feeling about Natalie?
00:00:58Could you repeat that?
00:01:00...saw him put on the brakes before they even left for their honeymoon.
00:01:04I know that it's gonna take time for me.
00:01:07Slow burn!
00:01:07Yeah! A real slow burn.
00:01:09I'm feeling so upset.
00:01:14Tonight...
00:01:15...the honeymoons are in full swing.
00:01:18We just get along so well.
00:01:20Feels like I've known him forever.
00:01:21As romantic sparks...
00:01:23The honeymoon life suits us.
00:01:24...start to form.
00:01:26Could I give you a goodnight kiss?
00:01:29That's so sweet!
00:01:31But the arrival of the honeymoon box...
00:01:35This is my worst nightmare.
00:01:37...will expose some uncomfortable...
00:01:39Do you feel any sexual chemistry with me?
00:01:42...and hard truths.
00:01:44I didn't even want to sleep with you.
00:01:49And...
00:01:50All I've ever wanted is to get married and start a family.
00:01:53But I've had to cancel one wedding before.
00:01:56That was the hardest thing to go through.
00:01:58A brave bride's second chance at love.
00:02:01Hi!
00:02:04Wow!
00:02:04But will her overprotective cousin...
00:02:07Why are you here?
00:02:08I have concerns.
00:02:10...derail the entire wedding?
00:02:13I...
00:02:13Don't believe it.
00:02:19From the seas of the South Pacific...
00:02:23...to the white sands of the Whitsundays...
00:02:26...our first six couples are embarking on the next phase of the experiment...
00:02:31...the honeymoons.
00:02:33And some newlyweds are taking the opportunity to build more intimacy.
00:02:38Oh!
00:02:39Oh!
00:02:40Yes!
00:02:40Yes!
00:02:41Oh!
00:02:41Yes!
00:02:42Yes!
00:02:43Come on!
00:02:51There's no aphrodisiac like an oyster.
00:02:54Do you mind if I just keep shucking?
00:03:00In Vanuatu...
00:03:01Help me out.
00:03:02...Tori is gaining a newfound appreciation for her husband, Jack.
00:03:06It's a hard one to get out.
00:03:09What's happening at that?
00:03:11Stop it.
00:03:13Jesus Christ.
00:03:14Jack is sexy.
00:03:16Hurry up and wrap yourself up.
00:03:18Jesus.
00:03:21Honestly, I'll take it.
00:03:22Yeah, I'm looking forward to the rest of the honeymoon.
00:03:25Absolutely.
00:03:29Honeymoon, day two.
00:03:30Honeymoon, day two.
00:03:32Morning.
00:03:33And welcome to you.
00:03:34We are broadcasting live from the Whitsundays.
00:03:37That's when you do like a little quick around.
00:03:39Oh, oh yeah.
00:03:40We can do that.
00:03:42Watching over the Whitsundays, I'm saying I'm pretty damn good.
00:03:46Especially I've got this 47 out of 10.
00:03:50Our couples are growing more comfortable with one another.
00:03:53Beautiful spot.
00:03:56All to ourselves.
00:03:58Yeah, I feel like Tim and I had a really rocky start.
00:04:02But we've just gone from completely one end to the other.
00:04:07And I'm hopeful.
00:04:10And in Western Australia, Natalie and Collins are finding new ways to entertain themselves.
00:04:17No, I'm going to do the run-up.
00:04:19You know the run-up?
00:04:20The run-up.
00:04:22Yee!
00:04:26You've got to do a run-up.
00:04:28Yeah, day one of the honeymoon.
00:04:32It's...
00:04:32Don't you ever do that?
00:04:34I haven't...
00:04:35No, I've never done the run-up.
00:04:36I think today I found a whole new level of the dorky, nerdy, quirky side of Nats.
00:04:43And at times I'm like, ooh!
00:04:47Yeah.
00:04:48Welcome to the honeymoon.
00:04:57In South Australia, Cassandra and Tristan are settling in for brunch.
00:05:03Cheers to another beautiful day on our honeymoon.
00:05:05Let's be honest.
00:05:06I did not see this coming.
00:05:07No, not at all.
00:05:11Hello.
00:05:13You're beautiful.
00:05:14For Tristan, the connection was instant on their wedding day.
00:05:18She's so pretty.
00:05:20I really like her.
00:05:21I like her a lot.
00:05:22I'm a hopeless romantic, so get ready to be treated like the queen you deserve to be.
00:05:27He is bold, courageous, funny, and I really adore him.
00:05:34And the couple have grown closer during their honeymoon.
00:05:38The honeymoon life suits us.
00:05:40The honeymoon life does suit us.
00:05:42Things are going really great.
00:05:44Really good.
00:05:45Definitely husband material.
00:05:46Okay, that's a good start.
00:05:47That's a good start.
00:05:48You're very, very, very much wise material.
00:05:51I feel like you've got a nice honeymoon glow about you.
00:05:54Yeah.
00:05:55I'm very happy here.
00:05:57The honeymoon glow is real.
00:05:59Tristan is fantastic.
00:06:01I'm in my zone.
00:06:04Just bliss.
00:06:05Just bliss everything.
00:06:07Everything is just bliss.
00:06:08You literally can't get much better than this.
00:06:13I do want to ask one question, but I'm like really nervous about asking.
00:06:15Oh, my goodness.
00:06:17I don't want to ask it.
00:06:17Oh, come on.
00:06:18I don't want to ask it.
00:06:19You can ask me anything.
00:06:20No, no, I can.
00:06:20We'll ask it.
00:06:21I'll talk about it later.
00:06:21I love everything about it.
00:06:22I don't want to ask it.
00:06:23I mean, obviously we're married and physical contact is a thing that kind of needs to happen.
00:06:28And obviously being the dude, I need to kind of, and I hate that.
00:06:31Like, I was really hoping at some point she was just going to make the move, but like,
00:06:36obviously we've got to progress either way, move forward.
00:06:39But I also don't want to put too much pressure on it.
00:06:42When you're ready, I will answer any question you have for me.
00:06:58I was maybe wondering after dinner if I could give you a good night kiss.
00:07:07Oh, my God, this brings me out after that.
00:07:11Oh, why would you ask that?
00:07:12I don't know.
00:07:13This is very, very stressful.
00:07:14I was going to ask you yesterday, but I was never going to do it.
00:07:16That's so sweet.
00:07:17And I was just like, no, we'll wait for dinner time because then I can ask you.
00:07:20But look, that's the question I'm going to ask you.
00:07:22So, like, it's up to you, obviously.
00:07:25Now I'm sitting there.
00:07:26Now that you asked him, like...
00:07:26Now I'm going to leave.
00:07:29You put me in the vulnerable zone.
00:07:31That's so sweet.
00:07:34Don't hide.
00:07:35That's really sweet.
00:07:40No, no, no, no.
00:07:41It was very sweet.
00:07:43It was very sweet of him.
00:07:44And it took him a lot to get that off his mind and chest.
00:07:49And, um, it was very sweet.
00:07:51I think that'll be nice.
00:07:53Okay.
00:07:54He's just a gentleman.
00:07:55And I'm glad to have him as my husband.
00:08:05In Vanuatu, the experiment's two dominant alpha personalities, Tori and Jack...
00:08:13Happy husband, happy life.
00:08:15...are beginning to explore their relationship dynamic on their honeymoon.
00:08:20I've never been so aligned with someone in my life.
00:08:23And there's a spark and that's great.
00:08:25And I'm sure he's the same.
00:08:27Like, do you ask yourself, where was I going wrong?
00:08:29Like...
00:08:30Well, you've never dated me.
00:08:32I'm feeling like you're the special one.
00:08:36Maybe.
00:08:38On their wedding day...
00:08:39I'm a bit of a control freak.
00:08:41Okay.
00:08:42Jack was confident he could take charge in the relationship.
00:08:45I definitely reckon I'll sort her out and we'll have a good time.
00:08:48And Tori's attraction to Jack proved too strong to resist.
00:08:53The hair.
00:08:54Body.
00:08:55Glistening in the sun.
00:08:57Move it.
00:08:58Go.
00:08:58There's definitely lack of sexual energy there.
00:09:02But unbeknownst to Tori, Jack's sexual feelings for her weren't exactly reciprocated.
00:09:09We're not sexually connected at all.
00:09:12We're on the same page.
00:09:14I mean, we obviously don't know how the other couples are going.
00:09:17But I'm feeling a little bit like...
00:09:22..superior.
00:09:25I really do think that we are...
00:09:28..a step ahead.
00:09:31Hello.
00:09:33But Tori's confidence in their relationship is about to be tested.
00:09:37What is this?
00:09:39..with the arrival of the honeymoon box.
00:09:42Damn!
00:09:43Did you get me a gift?
00:09:45The honeymoon box is an important part of the Married at First Sight experiment.
00:09:50I...
00:09:52..kind of wish it was a gift.
00:09:54It contains a set of direct and targeted questions,
00:09:58with its purpose to speed up our newlyweds getting to know each other on a deeper level.
00:10:03Good luck.
00:10:06Okay, shall I start?
00:10:08Fire away.
00:10:10What are your deal breakers and why?
00:10:12Someone that doesn't take care of themselves.
00:10:15Someone that's not true to themselves.
00:10:17Someone that's not driven.
00:10:18And ultimately someone that respects me.
00:10:21Also, I demand respect in a relationship.
00:10:25It makes me feel like the man I am.
00:10:28I don't think we will have an issue in that area whatsoever.
00:10:33Alrighty.
00:10:35Tori.
00:10:38Are you attracted to me?
00:10:40Am I your type?
00:10:44I am attracted to you.
00:10:45Absolutely.
00:10:46No question.
00:10:51Are you my type?
00:10:52Yeah.
00:10:52You are pretty much cookie cutter what I asked for.
00:10:56Values.
00:10:58Looks.
00:10:59Personality.
00:11:02Everything.
00:11:03Honestly, I couldn't ask for anything more.
00:11:08Like, you absolutely fit the mould.
00:11:12Feel like tea.
00:11:13Yeah.
00:11:15Yeah.
00:11:16They've done great.
00:11:18They've done great.
00:11:19I absolutely feel that.
00:11:21Yeah, right. Okay.
00:11:22Hmm.
00:11:25Shoot me.
00:11:29Do you feel any sexual chemistry with me?
00:11:34You answered that question immac...
00:11:37What's that word?
00:11:38Immaculately.
00:11:39Immaculately.
00:11:40It was amazing the way you worded that.
00:11:45Um...
00:11:47I've definitely had, like,
00:11:49bigger sexual sparks instantly.
00:11:55Um...
00:11:56I think given the way we met,
00:11:58and the mixed bag of emotions
00:12:00that were running through my body,
00:12:03um...
00:12:03and my head the day I met you,
00:12:06I wasn't, like,
00:12:08going, God damn, I want to get this girl in bed.
00:12:27Um...
00:12:28I think given the way we met,
00:12:30and...
00:12:30the mixed bag of emotions
00:12:32that were running through my body,
00:12:34and my head the day I met you,
00:12:36I wasn't, like,
00:12:38going, God damn,
00:12:39I want to get this girl in bed.
00:12:46I am a sexually driven guy.
00:12:49I've got to be connected to my partner.
00:12:51And that takes time for me.
00:12:53I nearly can pinpoint how long it takes.
00:12:56Okay.
00:12:57I've said to the experts,
00:12:59when I first lay eyes on my bride,
00:13:01I want to get a feeling
00:13:03and a connection instantly.
00:13:05I can tell, like,
00:13:06within ten seconds,
00:13:08if I want to be physical with this girl,
00:13:10one night or three months
00:13:11or put a ring on it.
00:13:13I'm hoping this experiment,
00:13:15as fast-paced as it is,
00:13:17it'll grow quicker than, you know,
00:13:19what the average time is for me.
00:13:22Um...
00:13:23Sex is a funny topic.
00:13:25Yeah.
00:13:26So, it does happen in life.
00:13:27Like, I have had, um,
00:13:30moments where I do have
00:13:31that sexual spark instantly.
00:13:33I don't think we had it straight away.
00:13:37Yeah, I think it was him
00:13:39trying to keep his cards close to his chest,
00:13:42which...
00:13:44is fine.
00:13:45So, it's not the first thing on my mind.
00:13:47I didn't even want to sleep with you
00:13:49the first night, second night,
00:13:51it was not on my mind.
00:13:54I'm a fierce lover
00:13:55and I'm a very passionate lover,
00:13:56you know.
00:13:57The stronger connection I can find
00:13:59with my partner,
00:14:01AKA you,
00:14:02the more sexually attracted I will be.
00:14:05Therefore, that's when, you know,
00:14:08yeah, we'll be getting it on.
00:14:10Perfect.
00:14:12Right, well, that concludes that.
00:14:15She hasn't challenged me yet,
00:14:16which I thought she would,
00:14:18especially the day I met her
00:14:19and listening to her vows,
00:14:21I thought she would challenge me.
00:14:22I don't know if she's a bit more submissive
00:14:24than she...
00:14:24Yeah.
00:14:25..leads out to be,
00:14:26or...
00:14:27she might like me.
00:14:28Might like me a lot
00:14:29and she's trying to please me,
00:14:31which is kind of sweet as well.
00:14:32I hope it's the latter.
00:14:34If I'm not sleeping with you
00:14:36in six weeks' time,
00:14:37something's wrong,
00:14:38I'll tell you that right now.
00:14:41With Jack setting a clear six-week deadline
00:14:44for when sex should transpire in his marriage...
00:14:49..for Natalie and Collins,
00:14:51there are no such concerns.
00:14:54Thanks to a sturdy pillow wall
00:14:56erected to prevent
00:14:58any potential romantic misunderstandings.
00:15:03Oh!
00:15:05He's going to be the pillow wall guardian.
00:15:08OK.
00:15:10Alright, no worries.
00:15:12I feel safer already.
00:15:22In Port Stephens,
00:15:24Lucinda and Timothy
00:15:25are waking up
00:15:26to the first full day
00:15:27of their honeymoon.
00:15:29Is it, eh?
00:15:30Yeah. First morning.
00:15:31How are you feeling about everything?
00:15:32A little more relaxed.
00:15:34Yeah.
00:15:35Timothy's unease with Lucinda's spiritual practices
00:15:39was palpable on their wedding day.
00:15:41What I would like to invite you to do,
00:15:43first of all,
00:15:44is close your eyes.
00:15:47Is it different?
00:15:49This is frankincense,
00:15:51rose petals.
00:15:53When they were waving the chicken wing,
00:15:55I was waiting for something to fall out of the sky
00:15:57and just hit me.
00:15:59And a thunderstorm...
00:16:00I can feel rain.
00:16:01...threw their nuptials into chaos.
00:16:03Do we have a wet weather plan?
00:16:05Our shit gets real!
00:16:07Everybody, run for cover!
00:16:09That better not be an omen.
00:16:10But despite a tumultuous start to their wedding,
00:16:13the couple weathered the storm together.
00:16:16You put me at ease.
00:16:18And as they begin their honeymoon,
00:16:21Lucinda is eager to further broaden Timothy's horizons...
00:16:25Oh, my God.
00:16:27...with a life drawing session.
00:16:28Hmm.
00:16:29It's him.
00:16:31We're going to draw each other, are we?
00:16:33There's no chance of me getting my gear off
00:16:35and somebody painting me.
00:16:36I'm telling you right now.
00:16:37So, Elise, in you come.
00:16:40Oh, hello.
00:16:42Wow.
00:16:45Hi, Elise.
00:16:46Hi.
00:16:47We get to draw you.
00:16:49Fabulous.
00:16:53Holy shit.
00:16:55Okay.
00:17:00It was very confronting.
00:17:02I just didn't know where to look.
00:17:04The good thing to do, Tim,
00:17:05is actually look at the body and not your paper.
00:17:08And appreciate the body.
00:17:09So you look at the lines, the curves, how it moves.
00:17:14I just...
00:17:15It's just...
00:17:15It's just not real often, you know?
00:17:17You just...
00:17:18Somebody just walks in and says,
00:17:20Draw me.
00:17:21Yeah.
00:17:22I just...
00:17:24It just happens to happen at my place that often.
00:17:26That often, never.
00:17:30Oh, God.
00:17:32This is awesome.
00:17:35But Lucinda, it was just natural for her.
00:17:38And Elise, you're gorgeous, honey.
00:17:40So beautiful.
00:17:41She just compliments and, you know,
00:17:46lots of hand movements.
00:17:49I'm loving all these awesome curves.
00:17:53From one voluptuous woman to another.
00:17:55So awesome.
00:17:56She just makes everyone feel very comfortable.
00:17:59I was gripping masks next to her,
00:18:01but, you know, the model was very comfortable.
00:18:04That was so beautiful.
00:18:05Thank you, honey.
00:18:06Thank you very much.
00:18:08You all right?
00:18:11Um...
00:18:11It's not, you know...
00:18:13Obviously, um...
00:18:14Um...
00:18:15Yeah.
00:18:17I appreciate your beautiful open mind.
00:18:19You've gone with her.
00:18:21I think it's great.
00:18:23That was just fun.
00:18:24At the end of the day,
00:18:25we just really enjoy each other.
00:18:26And have such a laugh.
00:18:28So...
00:18:29That, to me, is the best thing ever.
00:18:32I'd like to draw Tim naked.
00:18:35At some point.
00:18:40Coming up...
00:18:41I've had to cancel one wedding before.
00:18:44That was the hardest thing to go through.
00:18:46A brand-new couple enter the experiment.
00:18:50Hi!
00:18:51Wow.
00:18:53Oh.
00:18:54But a protective cousin...
00:18:55I just have a gut feeling.
00:18:57Maybe he might be here to promote his business.
00:19:00Threatens to derail this bride's second chance at love.
00:19:04Red flags.
00:19:05Made me a little bit nervous.
00:19:14Back in Sydney,
00:19:15it's time to meet two new singles
00:19:18who are about to enter the experiment.
00:19:25I'm Ellie, I'm 32.
00:19:26I'm from Queensland.
00:19:28And I'm a nurse.
00:19:31All I've ever wanted in life.
00:19:32It's just the average Australian dream.
00:19:36And I almost had that with my ex-partner.
00:19:40We were together for six years.
00:19:43I was engaged, about to get married.
00:19:45Just bought a house.
00:19:46We had spoken about starting a family.
00:19:49Yeah, I had my whole life mapped out.
00:19:51And then it all just crumbled.
00:19:54He went out one night
00:19:56and didn't come home until 10am the next morning.
00:19:59I tried phoning him.
00:20:02Hadn't taken my call all night.
00:20:03And I, deep down, knew that something wasn't right.
00:20:07And then when he came home the next day,
00:20:09it was just like, hey, I don't love you anymore.
00:20:12It was a big shock.
00:20:15And I was like, do you want to work on it?
00:20:17And he said no.
00:20:18And that was it.
00:20:21It was gut-wrenching.
00:20:22Yeah. And really sad.
00:20:24How close were you to the wedding day?
00:20:27Three or four months out.
00:20:28Wow.
00:20:29So, everything was pretty much planned.
00:20:32We'd sent out invites and I had paid for my dress,
00:20:36had all my rings.
00:20:38Yeah, so I had to cancel all of that.
00:20:41And I had to do that by myself too.
00:20:43Oh.
00:20:44And you try and make those calls to everyone
00:20:46and everyone wants to know why
00:20:48and you're like...
00:20:49But very quickly after we'd broken up,
00:20:52he was with someone else
00:20:54and then, yeah, she got pregnant.
00:20:57Yeah, it was just insane.
00:20:58Like I just could not believe that my life just changed
00:21:01like that overnight.
00:21:03I've definitely healed from that past relationship.
00:21:05I just thought, you know, we'll start again.
00:21:11I definitely want someone that's like active,
00:21:14adventurous and willing to try new things.
00:21:18Someone that loves travelling
00:21:20and I really like someone that's got goals
00:21:23and a plan for their life.
00:21:25I do actually want children.
00:21:27My baby sister is having a baby.
00:21:29She's like four years younger than me.
00:21:31It just makes me realise that, you know,
00:21:33I do actually want that for myself in the future.
00:21:36And to meet someone that's also looking for that,
00:21:39that is the goal for me.
00:21:41And what I hope that I walk away with at the end
00:21:44is someone that, you know,
00:21:45I can share the rest of my life with
00:21:46and go on and have a happily ever after.
00:21:49So what would this life look like, do you think,
00:21:52with this ideal person?
00:21:54The white picket fence.
00:21:55Maybe. Is that what you see?
00:21:58I want to have a family
00:21:59and just the average Australian dream.
00:22:02Yes.
00:22:03And to be able to travel together
00:22:04and, yeah, try new things and new experiences.
00:22:12My name is Ben.
00:22:13I'm 39 years of age.
00:22:14I'm from Newcastle, New South Wales
00:22:16and I'm a tour leader.
00:22:17In Venice, in Florence, Rome.
00:22:22I've been travelling for such a long time
00:22:25and I really wasn't ready to be in that long-term relationship.
00:22:29But I've shifted my priorities
00:22:32where I've put relationships at the top.
00:22:35Because you never know what tomorrow's going to bring.
00:22:39Recently, I lost my best mate to brain cancer.
00:22:44That shook me.
00:22:45You know, lose your best mate when you're 36.
00:22:48You have so much to live for.
00:22:53Yeah, that was really hard.
00:22:58I don't get asked about that a lot.
00:23:01You know, that was a tough journey.
00:23:03Yeah.
00:23:04Um, but gave me a great perspective
00:23:07to reanalyse what's important.
00:23:09I had to sort of hit a big reset button.
00:23:11Okay.
00:23:12And just look at all the pieces in the puzzle.
00:23:14You know, what's important.
00:23:16And part of that was relationships.
00:23:18That's at number one.
00:23:19Yeah.
00:23:20So, ta-da!
00:23:21You ready for love?
00:23:22Yes.
00:23:23You know, like, I've got good people around me.
00:23:26Mm-hmm.
00:23:27Got a good career.
00:23:28Everything's great.
00:23:29It's just that little piece that's missing.
00:23:31What makes a woman attractive?
00:23:33A nice smile.
00:23:34Yeah?
00:23:35I'm hoping that she's intelligent.
00:23:38Mm-hmm.
00:23:39Trustworthy.
00:23:40Sort of a helper-type personality.
00:23:42Mm-hmm.
00:23:43I find, sort of, it's a good match.
00:23:45And that's about it.
00:23:47You think you want to have kids?
00:23:48Yes.
00:23:49Yeah.
00:23:50You know, 2.3 kids, a house.
00:23:52Yeah.
00:23:52It's the Australian dream.
00:23:54And I want that.
00:23:55That's at number one.
00:23:58This is an amazing dress.
00:24:01It feels absolutely wild to be wedding dress shopping again.
00:24:07Beautiful.
00:24:10Ta-da!
00:24:12Second time's a charm.
00:24:14I can't believe we're doing this.
00:24:15I know, me either.
00:24:16We.
00:24:17As in I'm knowing that you are.
00:24:20I really hope this works.
00:24:24Hopefully this is it.
00:24:27But I do feel optimistic going into this experiment.
00:24:32And it would just be amazing to meet my, like, perfect match.
00:24:37Ellie, I think, is a person who really deserves a second chance.
00:24:41She really is ready at this moment to form that connection, to form that bond, to fall in love.
00:24:47And she's really looking ahead into motherhood and taking those steps.
00:24:51They really are very much aligned in terms of what they want to get out of this relationship.
00:24:56You know, so often with this experiment we have people coming into the process with really lofty goals and high
00:25:02expectations.
00:25:04Sometimes unrelenting expectations.
00:25:06But with Ben and Ellie, their expectations are quite humble.
00:25:11You know, they really just want to find the one, settle down and create a beautiful home.
00:25:15And I think that's quite refreshing.
00:25:18Ellie and Ben, I think they stand a really, really good chance.
00:25:23Very hopeful about them.
00:25:26With less than 24 hours before her big day...
00:25:30Hey!
00:25:31Ellie is meeting up with her cousin Jordan for a final pep talk.
00:25:36Nice to see you.
00:25:37Look, I got us a great table here.
00:25:38Jordan and I are really close because our mums are actually identical twins.
00:25:43Cheers!
00:25:43She's getting married.
00:25:45Jordan has a great BS radar.
00:25:49He always says it how it is.
00:25:51And he's definitely very vocal.
00:25:53So I know that he is going to just say it straight to me.
00:25:57Which is sometimes what I need to hear.
00:25:58Is this crazy?
00:26:01Absolutely it's crazy, Ellie.
00:26:04But do you want to know why?
00:26:05I would really hope that you are matched with somebody who would really care about you,
00:26:09want to grow a family with you, who want to be there and support you for a long time.
00:26:15Yeah.
00:26:15You know, I want to have children one day.
00:26:17Like, tick, tick.
00:26:18Yeah.
00:26:19You know, it's like little sisters beating me to it.
00:26:22Yeah, true.
00:26:23She is, isn't she?
00:26:23Yeah.
00:26:24This could be it.
00:26:24And then there could be no more dating and it could be the best thing ever.
00:26:29Ellie definitely sees the best in people.
00:26:31She always looks to the positive side and I think it's good for her to have someone like me to
00:26:36bring her back down a little bit.
00:26:38I get pretty excited and I kind of just, like, forget and, you know, try and see the best in
00:26:43someone.
00:26:43Yeah.
00:26:43But yeah, sometimes I wear my rose-coloured glasses.
00:26:46I'll be there.
00:26:48I'll be there with wine in hand.
00:26:50Excuse me.
00:26:51I'm definitely a protective cousin.
00:26:53We're family.
00:26:54I care about you.
00:26:55I'm protective of her because she's had a history of bad relationships in the past and I don't want to
00:26:59see that again.
00:27:00You can be pretty vocal.
00:27:01Yeah.
00:27:02After a couple of drinks, you certainly don't hold anything back.
00:27:06If I said anything to anybody, it would be because I want the best for you.
00:27:11Alright.
00:27:11Yeah, I can always see somebody for directly who they are.
00:27:14Yeah.
00:27:15And I think it's going to be good having me there.
00:27:18I can always spot any kind of bullshit from a mile away.
00:27:31Today, I finally get to walk down the aisle.
00:27:35And the best outcome would be meeting my one true love.
00:27:41And starting a family.
00:27:45That's all I've ever wanted in life.
00:27:48And I'm really optimistic about this experiment.
00:27:53Lived around the world.
00:27:55Travelled a lot.
00:27:56But I want love.
00:27:58And I want to settle down and start a family.
00:28:02So to be here now makes sense.
00:28:06I don't have a crystal ball, but who knows?
00:28:10Like, I could live happily ever after.
00:28:15Hi.
00:28:16Oh my gosh, look at you.
00:28:20Oh my god, you make me cry.
00:28:24Hi.
00:28:27I can't believe this is happening.
00:28:30Just don't wreck the makeup.
00:28:32I know.
00:28:32We've made it.
00:28:34I know.
00:28:35A little bit, you know, different.
00:28:37Not knowing who I'm going to marry, but it's something.
00:28:40A little bit delayed, but hey, here we are.
00:28:42Today is going to be so amazing.
00:28:44This is the beginning of your happily ever after.
00:28:47You've always deserved.
00:28:49She deserves this happy, happy day and happy ending.
00:28:52And I just hope it's perfect for her.
00:28:55All right.
00:28:55Well, I'm going to see you at your wedding walking down the aisle.
00:28:59Amazing.
00:28:59I'll make you this.
00:29:23Oh, wow, oh my gosh, this is amazing.
00:29:27What a place to have a wedding
00:29:29Gorgeous
00:29:30That's lovely
00:29:31It's all a bit surreal
00:29:33Beautiful day
00:29:41I am excited
00:29:45I've lived a pretty unconventional wild lifestyle
00:29:50But now I want something more
00:29:54And I think I'm ready for it
00:29:57To be here and the experiment
00:29:59It's an outstanding opportunity
00:30:02In every shape and form
00:30:05So I'm going to give it everything
00:30:08Bring it on
00:30:09Look who's coming
00:30:14Hi, how are you?
00:30:16Hi
00:30:20Hi
00:30:20Hi
00:30:21Hi
00:30:22How are you feeling?
00:30:25Excited
00:30:25You're going to love her
00:30:27I hope so
00:30:28I bet she's excited
00:30:30I can just imagine her
00:30:37Yep, that's happening
00:30:41I've been waiting for this moment for a very long time
00:30:45It's very surreal to be in a big white dress
00:30:49I've had to cancel one wedding before
00:30:53That was the hardest thing to go through
00:30:57So, so much is riding on this for me
00:31:04All I've ever wanted in life
00:31:05All I've ever wanted in life is to get married and start a family
00:31:09And I really hope that I meet someone amazing that just wants the same things that I do
00:31:23I hope that I walk down that aisle
00:31:25He turns around with a big smile on his face and it's like we instantly click
00:31:31I'm hoping it is a forever type of deal
00:31:34Because the absolute goal for me at the end of this is to finally have my happily ever after
00:31:40Oh my god
00:31:43She's so beautiful
00:31:44So beautiful
00:31:45Hi
00:31:55Wow
00:31:57Hi
00:32:00Hello everybody
00:32:03Hi
00:32:04Hi
00:32:05Hi
00:32:06Hi
00:32:06Hi
00:32:07Oh my god
00:32:10I can't believe I'm doing this
00:32:11Hiya
00:32:12Hi I'm Ellie
00:32:12Hey Ellie, Ben
00:32:14Nice to meet you
00:32:15Nice to meet you
00:32:15As soon as I locked eyes with him I was like perfect
00:32:18Oh, I'm nervous
00:32:19I was so pleased, honestly
00:32:21Hands down the experts like did a great job
00:32:25You look like amazing
00:32:27Thank you, I was hoping for that
00:32:29Oh my god
00:32:30Holy shit
00:32:31She's beautiful
00:32:34We like hold hands or
00:32:35Yeah, whatever you're comfortable with
00:32:36Let's just do it, I need to hold on to something
00:32:39Do you have children?
00:32:40No
00:32:41Okay
00:32:41Do you?
00:32:42No, that's good, ticking a few boxes already
00:32:44Yeah
00:32:45What do you do?
00:32:46I'm a nurse, what do you do?
00:32:48Wow, I'm a tour guide
00:32:49Okay, yeah
00:32:50You enjoy helping people
00:32:51Yeah
00:32:51We're off to a good start
00:32:53This is going to work
00:32:53It's going to work
00:32:54I love traveling too
00:32:55Really?
00:32:56Yeah, I do
00:32:56Wow, my type of personality
00:33:01Family and friends
00:33:03We are gathered here today
00:33:05To witness the union of Ellie and Ben
00:33:08Today they will pledge their commitment to each other in marriage
00:33:15Ellie and Ben will now share their personal vows
00:33:18Which they have written for one another
00:33:20Okay
00:33:21But the old shake
00:33:27Hey Ben
00:33:29I am so excited to be standing here and crazily enough marrying you today
00:33:36I know this is a little unconventional and a pretty wild thing to do
00:33:40But I'm hoping the experts have this right
00:33:45And that this decision to marry a complete stranger pays off as one of the best decisions of my life
00:33:54I'm an eternal optimist and I value honesty and respect and believe that every relationship
00:33:59Must have these to have a solid foundation for something to grow
00:34:04I've had my fair share of heartbreaks and letdowns in the past
00:34:08Which is what brought me here today
00:34:10I'm hoping this turns out a little differently though
00:34:13Which is why I'm willing to jump in the deep end with you and commit myself to this relationship
00:34:19So, let's get married
00:34:24That was so good
00:34:25Like those words
00:34:26Like that was exactly what I was thinking
00:34:28Yeah
00:34:29My type of personality
00:34:30Yeah
00:34:31Ben, your vowels?
00:34:33Sure
00:34:35Ellie
00:34:37I first want to thank you for taking a huge risk as we stand here together as complete strangers
00:34:43Placing our faith into the experts
00:34:47Being a world traveler and a tour guide for many years
00:34:49I've lived a life on the road with itchy feet
00:34:53And as a result, romance has taken a back seat
00:34:59But I've learned that love is life's greatest experience
00:35:03And that's why I'm here standing in front of you
00:35:07And I want to assure you that I'm here for genuine reasons
00:35:13The experiment and you are now my priority
00:35:18I hope that no matter what the outcome
00:35:20If we put our best foot forward and take care for one another
00:35:23We can never lose
00:35:24I love that
00:35:26That's really sweet
00:35:26Thank you
00:35:31I loved his vowels
00:35:34He just seems so genuine
00:35:36And he's into traveling
00:35:38I love traveling
00:35:40And he doesn't have children just yet
00:35:43I was like, perfect
00:35:45Tick, tick, tick
00:35:46All the boxes
00:35:51Looks good, hey
00:35:52Wow
00:35:52Yeah
00:35:52Oh my god
00:35:54I feel like this could be it
00:35:57Perfect

00:36:58Yeah
00:36:59Yeah
00:36:59I think we're getting along really well
00:37:01And from what I can gather, you know, through our little chats together
00:37:04He seemed really great
00:37:05I'm so happy
00:37:06Yeah
00:37:07Very beautiful
00:37:08Yeah yeah
00:37:08She seems really happy
00:37:10Yeah
00:37:10Perfect
00:37:11I've had a great first impression I would not be laughing and smiling otherwise
00:37:19Ben seems like a nice guy but I'm really nervous for Ellie because she always
00:37:25looks to the positives in people which has had a history of some terrible
00:37:29relationship and I don't want to see her get hurt again so I'm here to interrogate
00:37:36him I hope that he has the right intentions to be a good loving husband we'll
00:37:45see what do you do for work Ben so it's all like two things so I'll do some tour
00:38:00guiding and doing like podcasts it's like a hobby oh yeah oh you have a podcast
00:38:07it's just all travel stuff how many subscribers you have not much not much
00:38:15okay hey can I just ask you though Ben why are you here like are you looking for a
00:38:27relationship like a good long-term relationship yeah I'm trying to suss you
00:38:35out and see if you're here just to start an only fence or no one will pay to see
00:38:41this I've chosen a lot of travel for such a long time it's shot myself in the foot
00:38:49you know this man is getting grilled over here isn't it just it's a way they get to
00:38:55know you Benny why now it's a way they get to know you I can always see the red flags
00:39:10in people and I'm
00:39:13getting bad juju vibes I just have in my mind that Ben might be here for the wrong
00:39:28reasons he runs a podcast runs a business a tour guide that tells me that he could
00:39:37potentially be looking for fame still to come it's going to be completely frank with you our
00:39:46newest groom gets a grilling I have concerns that you might be here to promote your podcast
00:39:52and not giving you all to this relationship are you here for genuine reason yeah connections grow as
00:40:00the honeymoons continue Eden will you marry me we just get along so well it feels like I've known
00:40:06him forever before the honeymoon box got to be kidding me exposes some difficult truths this is my worst
00:40:15nightmare do you feel any sexual chemistry with me anyone else um it's not there
00:40:35with their wedding reception in full swing the newlywed nurse Ellie and travel guide Ben
00:40:41are relishing in their successful pairing I thought okay here and here and this is going
00:40:47above like am I punching my way to you oh my god how's this happening
00:40:53all the tours that I went on the um tour guides were absolute whores
00:41:00like they just went around sleeping with all the like the tour guide yeah yes
00:41:06thanks Gracie despite Ellie being happy with her new husband oh no the protective cousin Jordan
00:41:14has concerns about Ben following the admission that he has a podcast so far I think Ellie's pretty
00:41:22smitten but I just have a few I guess doubts about Ben I just have a gut feeling that he
00:41:31is here to
00:41:33promote himself
00:41:38I'm definitely protective of Ellie she's my closest family that I have and I only want the best for her
00:41:48so I'm going to have a one-on-one conversation with him I want to know exactly why he's here
00:42:02so how long have you been wanting to do married at first sight
00:42:07ah I don't know I got my interest a few years ago a few years ago okay
00:42:15so you've tried doing this a few times over here yeah okay I nearly made it in 2021
00:42:25like met all the hosts and then say sorry close up um have you tried to do anything else like
00:42:32this before
00:42:34um no you haven't um people's contacted me okay righto
00:42:46I'm just going to be completely frank with you I have concerns that
00:42:49you might be here to promote your touring business promote your podcast you're just here for fame
00:42:58and I just feel like hearing those sorts of things from you tonight
00:43:04I just feel like that's potentially a possibility for you and not giving your all to this relationship
00:43:13no I can see it makes sense
00:43:18why you'd reach those conclusions and if that does happen out of it
00:43:22that's one sort of silver lining
00:43:30you know but if love happens out of it
00:43:33great
00:43:34okay
00:43:38so you're saying you're kind of here for this and that
00:43:43um
00:43:44here for both reasons
00:43:47you want to promote yourself and
00:43:49um
00:43:51like
00:43:54so
00:43:55relationship one thing but I love taking exciting adventures and risks
00:43:59so I just did it with no intention I would say why not
00:44:04but if you've been trying to do it for a while
00:44:10that's my that's my thought pattern here
00:44:13but it makes sense to me I like doing exciting things
00:44:16yeah
00:44:18are you here for genuine reasons
00:44:21yeah I think so
00:44:23yeah
00:44:25not sure how to elaborate
00:44:27okay
00:44:29righto
00:44:29feel like your answers like satisfied with questions
00:44:35I don't know
00:44:36you'll have to ask him that
00:44:40I'm not going to lie my concerns are still there
00:44:43yeah
00:44:45but I guess time will show that
00:44:48I feel like
00:44:48yeah I really hope you look after her
00:44:50and you do the right thing by her
00:44:55if I can say anything
00:44:56base me on my actions
00:44:57okay
00:44:58please base me on that
00:44:59well I look forward to seeing that
00:45:02Ben tried to reassure me that he was here for love
00:45:05I don't believe him
00:45:09I want the best for Ellie
00:45:11and I think that potentially at this stage
00:45:14I'm not convinced that he's going to be the best for her
00:45:18are you guys going for a tour
00:45:20Ellie needs to be cautious
00:45:23of who he is
00:45:24and exactly what his intentions are
00:45:36okay
00:45:36I don't
00:45:39Ben tried to reassure me that he was here for love
00:45:42I don't believe him
00:45:46I want the best for Ellie
00:45:49and I think that potentially at this stage
00:45:52I'm not convinced that he's going to be the best for her
00:45:54and just hop out of here
00:45:58are you guys going for a tour
00:45:59Ellie needs to be cautious
00:46:02of who he is
00:46:03and exactly what his intentions are
00:46:06you never know you know what I mean
00:46:07so I just figured why not
00:46:10you know why not give it a go
00:46:12so it's your fault
00:46:13you know nice nice guy
00:46:15yeah
00:46:18I'm going to be honest with you
00:46:19when I spoke to him
00:46:21I felt like everything I asked him
00:46:24it was just like a vague
00:46:29he didn't really answer the fact that
00:46:31why is he here
00:46:31do you know what I mean
00:46:34just hearing that conversation about
00:46:36you know
00:46:36the podcast
00:46:37and the tour business
00:46:39I just have a gut feeling
00:46:41like he might be here
00:46:42to promote his business
00:46:45he wants to be
00:46:46a podcast owner
00:46:47he wants to be
00:46:48promoting himself
00:46:49by getting married to you
00:46:53you're going to see that side of him
00:46:55and it's like
00:46:55okay
00:46:56like
00:46:56red flags
00:46:58you know
00:46:59hearing from my cousin
00:47:00that Ben just is here
00:47:02to promote himself
00:47:04kind of was a bit of like
00:47:05a shock
00:47:07and also
00:47:08it made me think
00:47:09he might not be genuine
00:47:11yeah
00:47:12made me a little bit nervous
00:47:17so I'd imagine family
00:47:18is an important thing
00:47:19yes definitely
00:47:21yeah
00:47:23all right everybody
00:47:24we have a speech
00:47:25from our lovely groom
00:47:27Ben
00:47:29thank you
00:47:32oh boy
00:47:32um
00:47:34oh where to begin
00:47:37um
00:47:38yeah
00:47:39so I was actually having conversations about this before
00:47:41and you know
00:47:42I know what you're thinking
00:47:46you know
00:47:46what does Ben do
00:47:47is he here for the right reasons
00:47:49why is he still single
00:47:52is he a nice guy
00:47:54so hopefully I can explain
00:47:56uh to answer some of these questions
00:47:58I've never been married
00:48:00I've been travelling since I've been 22
00:48:02I'm 39 now
00:48:05uh like the Ben that you see
00:48:07right now before you
00:48:09is ready
00:48:09to plant some roots
00:48:12so I've been asked many times
00:48:14why do you want the experiment
00:48:16so many times
00:48:18why not
00:48:21why not
00:48:22why do you want to do a podcast
00:48:23why not
00:48:24I love excitement
00:48:26I love adventure
00:48:27and doing this experiment
00:48:28to me
00:48:29makes perfect sense
00:48:32so
00:48:33and the biggest thank you
00:48:34is to
00:48:35my wife
00:48:36for taking that biggest leap of faith
00:48:37and saying
00:48:38why not too
00:48:40you get it
00:48:41so why not
00:48:42why not
00:48:43cheers
00:48:44cheers
00:48:45cheers
00:48:46why not
00:48:47why not
00:48:55I don't think that anything that Ben said has reassured me about what I think about him
00:49:02I think he said something about building a life
00:49:05but I was just like
00:49:08you're 38 mate
00:49:09like you've had 38 years to do this
00:49:11what are you doing here
00:49:12what are you doing here
00:49:13you're trying to promote your podcast
00:49:21yeah I think that's enough of me being a
00:49:27congratulations to the bride and the groom
00:49:28Ellie and Ben
00:49:29and I'm looking forward to getting to know you more
00:49:32Ben
00:49:34and I'm looking forward to seeing some good green flags in the future
00:49:42just hearing from my cousin Jordan
00:49:43looking forward to the first dance
00:49:45I don't want to call it a major red flag now
00:49:47I think it's like
00:49:48a little amber flag
00:49:51hey
00:49:52yeah
00:49:54I just need to find out more about him
00:50:02we are going to invite the bride and the groom up to cut the cake
00:50:06yes
00:50:08hey it looks amazing
00:50:10it seems the experts have actually delivered
00:50:14she's stunningly beautiful
00:50:16she's intelligent
00:50:16she's kind
00:50:17yay
00:50:18but
00:50:21Jordan
00:50:22suspected I might not be here for genuine reasons
00:50:24here we go
00:50:27I think it's a bit presumptuous to think that
00:50:31he's known me for a day
00:50:37being interrogated
00:50:38you know
00:50:40that's a mood killer
00:50:42it just is
00:50:50in the New South Wales Southern Highlands
00:50:53our most recent newlyweds
00:50:56Ellie and Ben
00:50:57are arriving to begin their honeymoon
00:50:59oh my god
00:51:01that's all we run
00:51:02oh my god
00:51:05this is amazing
00:51:12in the Whitsundays
00:51:13we exchange rings again
00:51:15yep
00:51:16Jayden is winding back the clock on the experiment
00:51:19with an interesting proposition for new wife Eden
00:51:23Eden
00:51:24will you marry me
00:51:25I'm going to ask you first
00:51:26yes
00:51:27give me a yes
00:51:27what do you think you're going to say no
00:51:28of course
00:51:29well I mean maybe
00:51:32thank you
00:51:34how's things you think you and Jayden
00:51:36yeah just so good
00:51:38we just get along so well
00:51:39it feels like I've known him forever
00:51:41thank you
00:51:42but yeah we haven't really delved into like past relationships
00:51:45and things like that
00:51:46um
00:51:47you know I do want to open up to Jayden
00:51:50but it takes me a while to get to that point
00:51:52with someone new
00:51:53because I definitely don't trust people easily
00:51:56my last relationship
00:51:57we did break up because he cheated on me
00:51:59it came out in the end
00:52:01that he had cheated on me
00:52:02with my lifelong best friend
00:52:05lifelong friend
00:52:08that's like a
00:52:09insanely deep betrayal
00:52:12I am so hesitant to date someone else
00:52:14and to be in that same position again
00:52:17watch step
00:52:18you watch yours
00:52:19you trip over every time we walk anyway
00:52:21and I'm just falling for you
00:52:22I feel like the vibe between the two of us
00:52:25is pretty unique
00:52:26and rare that that happens so quickly
00:52:28how nice is this
00:52:29lovely
00:52:31so I'm hoping that he
00:52:33can get me to trust him
00:52:35um but I do think I need to tell him
00:52:37about my past situation
00:52:41so it for me
00:52:43going into any new relationship
00:52:45whether it's a friendship
00:52:46or it's a relationship
00:52:47I'm so sceptical
00:52:49because my ex-partner cheated on me
00:52:52with my lifelong best friend
00:52:55oh shit
00:52:56it definitely has affected
00:52:58how I approach new people
00:52:59yeah
00:53:00that probably that's why
00:53:01I'm a little bit of a slow burner
00:53:02I'd say
00:53:03because I'm not very trusting
00:53:04initially
00:53:06do you think
00:53:06I haven't
00:53:07I've only known you
00:53:08for a couple of days
00:53:08do you think
00:53:09there might be some trust issues
00:53:11or you might read into other things
00:53:13down the line with me
00:53:14I think
00:53:15I would hope that you
00:53:17prove yourself to be
00:53:18a loyal person
00:53:19like reassurance
00:53:20yeah
00:53:22I think actions speak louder than words
00:53:23so it's just
00:53:24yeah
00:53:24the way that you show it
00:53:25I guess
00:53:26but
00:53:26um
00:53:27you gotta protect your feelings
00:53:28I get that
00:53:28yeah
00:53:29that's what it is
00:53:29it's just like protecting myself
00:53:31I guess
00:53:31I just want you to know
00:53:32you're everything that I want
00:53:33really?
00:53:33yeah
00:53:36Eden has definitely
00:53:37been through a lot of heartbreak
00:53:39it might not be
00:53:40the most pleasant thing
00:53:41to talk about
00:53:41but
00:53:42I'm happy
00:53:43she opened up a bit more
00:53:44and you know
00:53:45I want her to know
00:53:46that I'm definitely
00:53:46someone that she can trust
00:53:47yeah
00:53:48I love that
00:53:48that's good
00:53:49it's almost like
00:53:50too good to be true
00:53:51how well we've gotten along
00:53:52and I feel like
00:53:52we've hit it off far quicker
00:53:53than I've probably ever
00:53:54hit it off with anyone
00:53:55I think that it was something
00:53:56that we needed to talk out
00:53:57but Jaden made me feel comfortable
00:53:59talking about my past situation
00:54:01very good signs
00:54:02I'm hoping over time
00:54:03I'll get that reassurance from him
00:54:05cheers
00:54:05let's get some dinner
00:54:06fish and chips
00:54:07look at that
00:54:08look at the words you're on my mouth

00:54:24after connecting over their shared sense of humour
00:54:28during a life drawing session
00:54:30that was a lot of fun

00:54:50this has arrived from the experts
00:54:51guys

00:55:00this is exciting
00:55:05I don't enjoy talking about feelings and emotions

00:55:12so
00:55:13this is my worst nightmare
00:55:17yeah
00:55:21like every red-blooded man over 45
00:55:24we're taught to put our emotions and squash them down
00:55:29I'm the opposite

00:58:54Get it out.
00:59:03It's got to grow for me.
00:59:05It's not an instantaneous thing.
00:59:11So you don't have any sexual attraction to me?
00:59:14It's not that I don't, or it's just...
00:59:18It's not there.
00:59:22Yet.
00:59:28OK.
00:59:30He was very direct and honest, and I respect that.
00:59:34Although my heart did go real.
00:59:37Like, I was a little bit deflated.
00:59:53I genuinely feel like shit.
00:59:58Because I know what it's like.
01:00:01Rejection to the face just sucks.
01:00:04And I just felt that I hurt somebody.
01:00:10It's bullshit.
01:00:17There's no sexual chemistry with me yet.
01:00:21But I do understand your answer.
01:00:27OK.
01:00:27Yeah, I get it.
01:00:30It's still early days, and I'm a patient woman.
01:00:34You know, I mean, I'm absolutely happy to give it time.
01:00:39You know, there's no question you've got a good heart and a good soul.
01:00:43If there's any shortcomings, it's mine.
01:00:47Lucinda is an amazing person.
01:00:51And I don't take it lightly that it's an incredible opportunity
01:00:55to be in this experiment with her.
01:00:59But I feel shit for her that she got paired up with me.
01:01:08Yeah.
01:01:11Sounds like you don't think you're good enough.
01:01:15I don't.
01:01:19I don't think I'm good enough.
01:01:23I think she can do better.
01:01:28Let's pick the next one.
01:01:29Thanks for sharing.
01:01:32I feel like Tim's a little bit of a rubber band.
01:01:36It's like there's a bit of a crack and then a pullback
01:01:38and a crack and a pullback.
01:01:40And, you know, it's going to require a bit of patience for me.
01:01:43But I'm here.
01:01:44I'm a patient woman.
01:01:45And I do think he's worth it.
01:01:47So I'll just keep gently prizing.
01:01:51Through the shell.
01:01:53Why did you apply for this experiment?
01:01:59I am ready for a husband and sharing my magnificent life.
01:02:03So, yeah, I feel that's my deep truth.
01:02:08And for you.
01:02:10Why did I apply?
01:02:14There was a specific moment in time six weeks ago.
01:02:19Dad died and I was in that room or at the airport,
01:02:25especially at the airport,
01:02:26when I was just sitting there
01:02:28and I wanted to be able to phone somebody
01:02:33and I didn't and couldn't.
01:02:37And I just went,
01:02:39I am alone.
01:02:51That's it?
01:02:53No.
01:03:06Like, right now,
01:03:07I want to cry,
01:03:08you know,
01:03:09for you.
01:03:10Like,
01:03:10I just feel,
01:03:11you know,
01:03:12that makes me,
01:03:13oh.
01:03:15I see your little tender bits
01:03:17and your vulnerable bits
01:03:18and they are welcome here.
01:03:24And, yeah,
01:03:25I see you too.
01:03:28I've got lots of compassion for Tim.
01:03:31There's been lots of loss and trauma
01:03:33that he buries.
01:03:34That's a lot for anybody to hold in, actually.
01:03:38What?
01:03:39To do with your loss.
01:03:41What's that?
01:03:42Your loss.
01:03:43What about it?
01:03:44It's a lot.
01:03:46No, it's not.
01:03:47It's only if you think about it.
01:03:48It's like feelings.
01:03:50I feel like he is
01:03:52a hard
01:03:54egg to crack.
01:03:55Right?
01:03:56Yeah.
01:03:57Yes, at this point,
01:03:58he's not sexually attracted to me,
01:04:00but, you know,
01:04:01I'm not giving up.
01:04:02I just need to
01:04:03keep showing up
01:04:05and loving him
01:04:06for where he is.
01:04:09I hold the lantern of hope.
01:04:19Next time.
01:04:20Shit.
01:04:21Yes.
01:04:22Holy shit.
01:04:23What am I meant to hold on to?
01:04:24I'm ready for a drink.
01:04:26What time is it?
01:04:26The experiments.
01:04:28He can't be a vegan.
01:04:29That's not the life of me.
01:04:31I'm going to get all the vegans
01:04:32hating me now.

01:05:05that age is no barrier.

01:05:08life by the balls.
