00:00:00Welcome to your very first commitment ceremony.
00:00:04Previously, our couples received much-needed guidance
00:00:08from our three relationship experts.
00:00:10Get curious, open your mind up.
00:00:12Lean in, hear what the other is saying.
00:00:15You are so special, and we're going to get there.
00:00:18Rachel and Stephen's blossoming connection
00:00:20You are amazing.
00:00:22was just one of many on full display.
00:00:25Every day we get closer, like it gets better every day.
00:00:28Capital's Day with a smiley face, because I'm really happy.
00:00:32Alyssa, shut up, because all you do is speak
00:00:35with an infomercial voice, hyped out.
00:00:38But not everyone was feeling the love.
00:00:40Yeah, we're going great.
00:00:41But not everyone likes your happiness.
00:00:45As Brooke continued to question Stella and Phillip's authenticity...
00:00:49Don't sit up here and make yourself be the victim.
00:00:52You can't blame me for that.
00:00:53I don't understand why you're coming at me.
00:00:56I'm not coming at you.
00:00:56We'll just bring it back down.
00:00:58We built a friendship very quickly during and after the honeymoon.
00:01:01Steve blindsides Rebecca, putting her in the friend zone.
00:01:06Yeah?
00:01:06Yeah, look, I...
00:01:07Yeah.
00:01:07Yeah.
00:01:08Yeah.
00:01:09Yeah.
00:01:10I would love to hear from Rebecca.
00:01:13John gave Steve seven days
00:01:15to put more romantic effort into his marriage.
00:01:19The challenge here, Steve, is getting onto the same page.
00:01:24Tonight...
00:01:26Oh, what's going on?
00:01:28Our newlyweds enter the next phase of the experiment.
00:01:31Oh, my God!
00:01:32Intimacy Week, it's meant to build emotional closeness, safety, and then other playful aspects
00:01:39of a relationship.
00:01:40While some embrace stepping out of their comfort zone.
00:01:43God damn.
00:01:44How about we do those push-ups?
00:01:46Come here.
00:01:48You know, it's...
00:01:49Steve remains hesitant.
00:01:51It's just not for me.
00:01:53Intimacy comes in many shapes and forms.
00:01:55Were you bullied?
00:01:57Um...
00:01:58Has a stranger ever changed your life?
00:02:02What's your favourite quality about your ex?
00:02:07Julia's interpretation of intimacy...
00:02:09How do you mean by that, sorry?
00:02:11...leaves Grayson feeling confused and frustrated with the lack of clarity.
00:02:16Can you see any kind of future with me?
00:02:20Um...
00:02:21And then...
00:02:22Kiss me now.
00:02:24The kind of kiss that makes me feel something.
00:02:29Stephen's massive moment of truth.
00:03:01First commitment ceremony.
00:03:03Wow, though.
00:03:04Yeah.
00:03:05Wow, wow, wow.
00:03:06What a night, eh?
00:03:08It's the morning after an eventful first commitment ceremony.
00:03:13And the couples are reflecting on last night's dramatic events.
00:03:17Mmm, last night blew up a little bit.
00:03:20A rift has emerged between some of the brides
00:03:23after Stella raised concerns about Brooke's treatment of her in the experiment.
00:03:29Like, I'm just speechless.
00:03:33Brooke and Stella's conflict began at the red flag, green flag task,
00:03:38where Brooke questioned Stella and Philip's relationship.
00:03:42Surely he gets on your nerves at times.
00:03:44No.
00:03:45I don't believe you.
00:03:46What?
00:03:47I don't believe you.
00:03:48And at last night's commitment ceremony,
00:03:51Stella made her concerns known.
00:03:53I guess, you know, it's kind of sad to learn that at the age of 32,
00:03:56I have to relearn that not everyone is wishing you happiness.
00:04:01But no-one's saying that we're not happy for you.
00:04:04Like, no-one has said that.
00:04:06No-one yesterday said that we're not happy for you.
00:04:09No.
00:04:09Don't sit up here and make yourself be the victim,
00:04:12because that's how it is.
00:04:15I don't know why Stella was coming at me.
00:04:17I obviously spoke my mind and was very direct.
00:04:20I think everything I said was completely, you know, facts.
00:04:24She is fully playing the victim, like,
00:04:27oh, my gosh, everyone is jealous and unhappy for me.
00:04:31I really couldn't give a rat sauce about seeing Stella again.
00:04:34If she wants to apologise, I'll let her apologise.
00:04:37But other than that, off your f***.
00:04:42I was happy to see if all could call that out.
00:04:44I agreed.
00:04:45Stella is trying to be the victim
00:04:47and rally people, like, you know, on her side, like,
00:04:51poor me, you know?
00:04:52Stella believes that she is the strongest couple,
00:04:54the best person on this goddamn experiment.
00:04:57She's a little bit fake.
00:04:58No-one's jealous of your relationship.
00:05:00Yeah.
00:05:01Like, no-one's coming in to try and ruin your relationship.
00:05:03Well, it's blown up in her face now.
00:05:05I'm sure she's next door right now,
00:05:07fricking whining and complaining about everyone.
00:05:12Why do you actually think that Brooke was coming for you?
00:05:15I don't know.
00:05:17I really don't know.
00:05:19Like, we only met these people three times.
00:05:21Yes.
00:05:22You know?
00:05:22Yes.
00:05:24I've never experienced anything like it in my life.
00:05:27At school, at university, at any work placement.
00:05:31I work with women.
00:05:32I've never experienced that.
00:05:37Um...
00:05:37It's pretty wild.
00:05:39Obviously, like, I kind of first checked in with myself,
00:05:43have I done something wrong to rob someone that way?
00:05:47And if I don't let me repair it?
00:05:50I want to understand.
00:05:52I want to learn.
00:05:53What did I do to, you know, be sidelined?
00:05:58When people are not happy within themselves
00:06:00and within the relationship,
00:06:01they really try to project that negativity.
00:06:03I think that's what Brooke exactly did.
00:06:06I think she exposed that side of herself in front of everyone
00:06:10and, like, some sort of anger was directed to me for some reason.
00:06:13Obviously, it affected me, but...
00:06:16I know.
00:06:17Like, I have nothing but kindness in my heart, so...
00:06:19And if we miscommunicate,
00:06:21that's the last thing I want.
00:06:23I'm not here for mean girls.
00:06:25I'm here to build a relationship.
00:06:26I'm not here for the girls' drama.
00:06:30I'm enjoying this experience with you.
00:06:33And I think we're generally...
00:06:35Like, we're a good match.
00:06:37I protect my energy with Philip.
00:06:39We feel solid.
00:06:40Like, we don't need someone else to confirm to us how we feel.
00:06:44It's...
00:06:45I don't know.
00:06:49With the girls' conflict sending shockwaves through the experiment,
00:06:54Stella isn't the only one caught up in the fallout.
00:06:59The room literally went red.
00:07:01It was a lot.
00:07:02At last night's commitment ceremony,
00:07:05a throwaway comment made by Alyssa...
00:07:08Don't worry, I was called fake yesterday.
00:07:10Too.
00:07:10..also attracted Gia and Brooke's attention.
00:07:14Alyssa, shut up,
00:07:15cos all you do is speak with an infomercial voice.
00:07:18Pipe down, OK?
00:07:19I was like, where the hell did I come from?
00:07:22It wasn't even a bad comment.
00:07:24I just kind of...
00:07:24Well, I got called fake, you know?
00:07:27Cos I'm just throwing it out there.
00:07:29And it was, like, blowing fire in my face.
00:07:33Gia yelled at my face.
00:07:34And I had Brooke yelling at me.
00:07:37And it was just, like, mean girl vibes.
00:07:40I don't know where it's stemming from, but I'm not into it.
00:07:43I've spoken nothing but highly of those girls
00:07:46ever since I've entered this experiment.
00:07:48Mean girls, they can be mean, but I'm not here for it.
00:07:51Stuff was just out of line.
00:07:53And it's embarrassing.
00:07:54It was embarrassing.
00:07:55Really embarrassing.
00:07:57Hearing Gia, you know, scream at my wife like that,
00:08:00shocking, it's mind-blowing.
00:08:01And to see her being trash-talked like that, you know,
00:08:05as her husband, it angers me, if I'm being completely honest.
00:08:09You know, I am proud of you, of how you handled that.
00:08:12I mean, having someone just literally yell, yell at you,
00:08:16like, I don't know, I'm not going to lie.
00:08:18I know.
00:08:18I'm not going to lie.
00:08:19I don't think I would have been able to sit there
00:08:21and take that.
00:08:24With emotions running high
00:08:26after last night's commitment ceremony,
00:08:28one couple is dealing with struggles of their own.
00:08:33This morning, Mel has invited husband Luke over...
00:08:37Hello.
00:08:38Hello.
00:08:38How are you going?
00:08:39Good, how are you going?
00:08:39Thanks.
00:08:40..to discuss the future of their relationship.
00:08:44Coming out of the commitment ceremony,
00:08:45I got a lot of home truths,
00:08:47and since that conversation with the experts,
00:08:49I have been realising I've got to, like,
00:08:52shift my butt into gear.
00:08:56How are you feeling after last night?
00:08:58Obviously, it was a pretty hectic night.
00:09:00Yeah.
00:09:03It's just, like,
00:09:05whatever we have is so broken into a million pieces.
00:09:11Yeah, yeah.
00:09:14But, like...
00:09:15After the commitment ceremony,
00:09:17I've had some moments to sort of reflect.
00:09:21And, like, going forward,
00:09:23I do feel like I want to be more positive too.
00:09:28OK, cool.
00:09:29I can see why the experts matched us together,
00:09:32because, like, you and I have a similar personality.
00:09:35Yeah, I think so too.
00:09:37We have that sort of similar energy.
00:09:39Oh, great.
00:09:42And, like, it's a calming energy.
00:09:45It's a nice energy.
00:09:46This week, I'm going to just try.
00:09:49I'm going to really try.
00:09:51I'm going to take an open-minded approach,
00:09:53and I'm going to prove to them
00:09:54that I can take their advice on board.
00:09:56I want to get to know you better.
00:09:58Like, let's just get along with each other,
00:10:00because I know we can.
00:10:01Yeah.
00:10:02Let's just make this situation a little bit better for both of us.
00:10:05Deal.
00:10:06Deal.
00:10:08I was really nervous to come and have this conversation with Mel,
00:10:11but it went really, really well.
00:10:13Very warm hands.
00:10:14Because they were like this, because I was so nervous.
00:10:17Oh, really?
00:10:18We've, like, yeah, drawn that line in the sand.
00:10:20It does feel a lot lighter already.
00:10:24While Mel and Luke agree to turn a new leaf,
00:10:28Julia and Grayson are still unsettled.
00:10:32Um, I'm just going to make some warm water.
00:10:38After a tense commitment ceremony,
00:10:40saw Grayson express his concern at the pace of the relationship.
00:10:46Would I have liked it to be a little further down the line?
00:10:49Yeah.
00:10:50It sounds to me like, Julia, you set the pace,
00:10:53and Grayson, then you said, oh, well, okay.
00:11:00This morning, a lack of sleep
00:11:02seems to have brought some hard feelings
00:11:05between the two to the surface.
00:11:08I'm really struggling.
00:11:11I haven't slept pretty much at all.
00:11:13Like, even right now, I'm shaking.
00:11:16Because I'm so sleep-deprived.
00:11:19So I felt like there would be some grace
00:11:22for the fact that I'm sleep-deprived.
00:11:28This morning, I go into my bedroom, and I...
00:11:33Our bedroom?
00:11:34Yeah.
00:11:35Our bedroom.
00:11:36And I said, can you do your packing later?
00:11:39And you seemed frustrated.
00:11:40You didn't ask to say that.
00:11:42Can you do your packing later?
00:11:43You did not say that.
00:11:44Grayson, I'm exhausted.
00:11:46That's fine.
00:11:46I understand you're exhausted.
00:11:47But you were annoyed at me.
00:11:48No, no, no.
00:11:49I was annoyed at the way you addressed it.
00:11:51Jules was napping on the couch,
00:11:52so I just left her be and went into the room.
00:11:56She then came and said, I need some rest.
00:11:58And I said, oh, do you want me to leave?
00:12:00And she said, well, yeah, I need some rest.
00:12:04Like, sort of just blame it on me.
00:12:08It was just like, oh, I didn't matter at that point.
00:12:13I just feel like...
00:12:15I just feel like I can't do much right, to be honest.
00:12:17So I just feel like I'm really putting in the effort,
00:12:19like, you know, offering to cook you breakfast and dinner
00:12:21and, you know, offering to go to the pharmacy for you
00:12:24or do your washing or, you know, get you coffees,
00:12:27all that stuff.
00:12:28But I just don't know if you're wondering how I'm feeling
00:12:30or how I'm going at the moment.
00:12:32Like, I have needs as well at the moment as well.
00:12:36And I just feel like we're focusing so much of it all on you.
00:12:39But in terms of who's kind of the stronger person
00:12:43in this partnership right now,
00:12:45I would say it's you, because you're well-rested.
00:12:48And I'm asking you to give me some grace.
00:12:50You're just asking for some grace.
00:12:53What does that mean?
00:12:55Grayson, I'm literally...
00:12:57This is doing my head in.
00:13:00Jules, I'm asking for you to acknowledge what I'm saying.
00:13:04Acknowledge what?
00:13:05I just feel like all the conversations are about you
00:13:09and what you need.
00:13:10What about what I need, Jules?
00:13:12Because you haven't asked me once about what I need
00:13:14throughout this whole process.
00:13:17I'm literally...
00:13:18I just can't talk to you when, like, I'm...
00:13:23Oh, God.
00:13:28I'm doing my best to support her,
00:13:30but I do feel like I'm in the way
00:13:33and I'm walking on eggshells
00:13:35and I don't feel like I'm taking it into account.
00:13:38I just feel like my needs are being overlooked.
00:13:40I'm...
00:13:43I'm...
00:14:03I'm...
00:14:07With last night's commitment ceremony
00:14:09still in everyone's minds,
00:14:11a dramatic gear change is about to take place.
00:14:19Oh, no.
00:14:20Oh, what's going on?
00:14:22As the couples embark on one of the most exciting,
00:14:25meaningful, and confronting phases of the experiment,
00:14:30Intimacy Week.
00:14:31The week ahead is upon us.
00:14:34For Intimacy Week this year,
00:14:36I've devised a series of tasks
00:14:37designed to empower our couples
00:14:39to take the next steps in their relationships.
00:14:42Beck and Danny.
00:14:44Okay.
00:14:45People may assume intimacy is purely physical
00:14:48and sex-focused, but this is not the case.
00:14:52Oh.
00:14:53Ready?
00:14:54I want our couples to feel safe,
00:14:56to be able to lean into vulnerability
00:14:59and find the courage to step outside their comfort zones
00:15:02in order to forge lasting connections.
00:15:05How do you say that word?
00:15:07Hola.
00:15:07Hola.
00:15:08Hola, couples.
00:15:10Hola.
00:15:12Alessandra.
00:15:13Hola.
00:15:13This next phase of the experiment
00:15:15is all about deepening intimacy
00:15:17with your partner.
00:15:18And strengthening your understanding
00:15:20of connection, romance,
00:15:21and sexual compatibility.
00:15:23Later today, I'll be hosting a workshop
00:15:25with all the brides
00:15:26and tomorrow with the grooms
00:15:28where we'll explore some home truths
00:15:30about intimacy.
00:15:31For you to take back
00:15:32and experiment with as a couple.
00:15:35Oh, wow.
00:15:36Alessandra, hey?
00:15:37See what she's going to make us do.
00:15:39She's the expert.
00:15:41She's the expert.
00:15:41She's the sexpert.
00:15:42I feel quite excited for Gia to go to this workshop.
00:15:45She might come back even more naughtier,
00:15:46so I'm down for that.
00:15:50I'm intrigued because we're pretty spicy.
00:15:53Yeah, I don't know how much she can help.
00:15:56I don't know what tools she can throw
00:15:57on the woodworks, but...
00:15:59Toys.
00:16:00Toys, tools.
00:16:01Yeah.
00:16:02I'm open to anything, to be honest.
00:16:05I'm excited. Are you?
00:16:07A bit good, yeah.
00:16:08You're going to have to talk about your feelings again.
00:16:12Right now, Danny and I are forming, like,
00:16:15a deeper and deeper, deeper connection every day.
00:16:18With Intimacy Week,
00:16:19I'm hoping that it'll bring out
00:16:22a little bit more of a vulnerable side from Danny.
00:16:24He's an oyster.
00:16:25He's a hard shell, soft inside.
00:16:27She's going to teach you some things
00:16:28you've never heard of before.
00:16:29You mean you?
00:16:31I was just cracking, Jake.
00:16:34Let's get intimate.
00:16:36You know what I mean?
00:16:37Sure.
00:16:38For Rachel and Stephen,
00:16:41Intimacy Week is an opportunity
00:16:42to address some of the challenges
00:16:45the couple has faced.
00:16:46We've both discussed that intimacy
00:16:48is something that we need to work on.
00:16:52I'll be the first to admit
00:16:53I struggle in this field,
00:16:55so I don't know how to talk about that stuff yet.
00:16:59That's why I don't really have much to really say
00:17:01besides, oh, goody,
00:17:02I don't know what I'm doing.
00:17:06I'm not great at intimacy.
00:17:08You know, that area is,
00:17:10I'm not, yeah, I'm not great at it.
00:17:11I need to learn a few things.
00:17:13I don't know what to expect at this workshop,
00:17:15to be honest.
00:17:16I'm just like,
00:17:17what's going to happen?
00:17:18What's going to happen here?
00:17:19I think that's why I'm really excited about,
00:17:23working on it together.
00:17:24Yeah.
00:17:25Fantastic.
00:17:27Fantastic.
00:17:28It's becoming your buzzword.
00:17:31Loved a little giggle at the end.
00:17:35For Rebecca and Steve,
00:17:37Intimacy Week has come
00:17:38at a pivotal time in their relationship,
00:17:40with Steve having recently divulged
00:17:43an exhaustive list of the issues he has with Rebecca
00:17:46during Revelations Week.
00:17:48Rebecca is consistently that person
00:17:52where it needs to be talking all the time.
00:17:54Rebecca's not my usual type,
00:17:56and what I mean by that is just her personality
00:17:58is less conservative than mine.
00:18:01Her emotions are very high and very low.
00:18:04Rebecca's very opinionated,
00:18:06a bit more outspoken.
00:18:08I'm not.
00:18:09I'm trying to do the right thing.
00:18:10Rebecca's just been a bit impatient,
00:18:12and that has affected our relationship.
00:18:14Yeah.
00:18:15Oblivious to Steve's list of grievances,
00:18:18at the commitment ceremony,
00:18:20a disheartened Rebecca gave insight
00:18:23into her husband's lack of affection.
00:18:26Has Steve made you feel desirable?
00:18:30No.
00:18:32So do you think he looks at you as a friend at the moment?
00:18:36Yeah, absolutely.
00:18:39Despite his previous list of complaints,
00:18:42when pressed by the experts...
00:18:44Do you feel that sense of attraction to her?
00:18:47Yes, I do.
00:18:49Steve professed to being attracted to Rebecca
00:18:52and committed to remaining in the experiment.
00:18:55She's very attracted to you,
00:18:57and she wants to move it forward.
00:18:59Yes.
00:18:59The challenge here, Steve,
00:19:01is now getting onto the same page.
00:19:05Into the sea week,
00:19:06it's going to be very confronting for me.
00:19:09So far in the experiment.
00:19:10We have been going at Steve's speed.
00:19:13Like, I'm hopeful for us as a couple moving forward,
00:19:16but of course I have that self-doubt.
00:19:18I just have that fear of that rejection.
00:19:21I find him really attractive,
00:19:22and he said that he finds me attractive as well.
00:19:26So, yeah.
00:19:28I'm hoping that he will take on the advice from the experts,
00:19:33and I just hope, fingers crossed,
00:19:37that he steps up.
00:19:39I must admit, I'm actually really looking forward to this.
00:19:43I think it's coming a good time.
00:19:45Yeah.
00:19:46Yeah.
00:19:48How do you feel about it?
00:19:51I'm not sure what it means yet.
00:19:54I know what intimacy is.
00:19:56Yeah.
00:19:56I know different versions of intimacy.
00:19:58I'm not sure what they've got planned.
00:20:00Yeah.
00:20:01Who knows?
00:20:02Time will tell.
00:20:03Exciting times ahead.
00:20:05Yeah.
00:20:06Yeah.
00:20:06So...
00:20:07Yeah.
00:20:08I think we'll slowly move through the friendship zone
00:20:10and see where that progresses to,
00:20:12and this is what this is designed for.
00:20:14Yep.
00:20:15I'm a little bit frustrated that we're in this position.
00:20:18Last night, we had a whole conversation about getting out of that friend zone,
00:20:22and now, this morning,
00:20:24he kept on saying friendship, which pissed me off.
00:20:27Not a good start.
00:20:29I would like to see things progress.
00:20:33Just the romance side of things.
00:20:36Intimacy, for me, has so many different forms.
00:20:41Just, uh...
00:20:43As I said, we just, uh...
00:20:45I'm pretty chill, so we just, uh...
00:20:47Yeah.
00:20:48Take it as it comes.
00:20:51He does say he wants to keep progressing.
00:20:54Like, I am really hopeful,
00:20:57but I just don't know.
00:21:07As intimacy week begins...
00:21:11Hello!
00:21:14The brides have arrived at their workshop with Alessandra.
00:21:18Please have a seat.
00:21:20It will be an opportunity for the group to check in on each other's progress.
00:21:25Good to see you all!
00:21:27We are at Alessandra's workshop today.
00:21:31Talking all things intimacy.
00:21:33I love talking about sex.
00:21:35It's good fun.
00:21:36I'm excited.
00:21:38Welcome to our intimacy week workshop.
00:21:41This kicks off intimacy week for all of you.
00:21:45Today, I want to get into everybody's relationships
00:21:48and the specifics of what is and isn't going on.
00:21:52Because, of course,
00:21:53this is not friendship at first sight.
00:21:56It's meant to build relationships,
00:21:58and that includes romance,
00:22:01actual closeness,
00:22:03emotional closeness,
00:22:04safety,
00:22:06trust in the relationship,
00:22:07and then all the really fun,
00:22:09exciting, romantic,
00:22:12playful aspects of a relationship
00:22:13that you get with people who are not your friends.
00:22:17And that includes, of course,
00:22:19physical closeness.
00:22:20And I know for some of you,
00:22:22that's been a bit of an issue.
00:22:25Others have really jumped into it.
00:22:28Mm-hmm.
00:22:28Hey.
00:22:29Gia,
00:22:30that part of your relationship
00:22:31is really flowing freely and nicely,
00:22:34and that's really good.
00:22:35Yeah.
00:22:36I feel like every time we have sex,
00:22:39it gets better and better.
00:22:40It's more intimate.
00:22:41It's more like we make love.
00:22:43We don't just have sex.
00:22:45It's quite deep.
00:22:47And I think,
00:22:48and it's so lame,
00:22:49but, um...
00:22:50It's what everybody wants.
00:22:52Are you kidding?
00:22:53It's not lame.
00:22:53For me and Scott,
00:22:54we are forming a really good,
00:22:56deep connection,
00:22:56and I feel like there's just some energy,
00:22:59and it was there like the wedding day.
00:23:00Yeah, it's hard to, like,
00:23:01honestly keep our hands off each other
00:23:03at this point.
00:23:05Stella,
00:23:06you've also explored a lot
00:23:08in your relationship.
00:23:10We just connected
00:23:12from the get-go,
00:23:13and the most intimate sex that I had
00:23:15was from the get-go.
00:23:17Like, I don't know how to even explain.
00:23:19It just flows.
00:23:20You know, like...
00:23:21We did massages.
00:23:23We already did, you know,
00:23:24the kitchen bench and this and that.
00:23:25Like, it's already...
00:23:27Listening to Stella talk about her relationship,
00:23:29I think it was a bit,
00:23:30look how great we are.
00:23:33Stella does kind of think
00:23:34that she's ticked everything off.
00:23:36I like to be manhandled.
00:23:37Yes.
00:23:38Amen.
00:23:38Shame.
00:23:43I just think she's full of shit.
00:23:45Alyssa,
00:23:46I know that you two
00:23:47are also meshing really well.
00:23:50Yeah, we're very sexual people.
00:23:52David and I have spoken about that
00:23:53and our needs.
00:23:54You know,
00:23:55how many times a week
00:23:56is enough for you?
00:23:57He's like,
00:23:58every day,
00:23:58I'm like,
00:23:58well, that might be
00:23:59a little bit too much for me.
00:24:00I don't know if I can take that
00:24:01every day,
00:24:02but, um,
00:24:03maybe...
00:24:04LAUGHTER
00:24:06LAUGHTER
00:24:07LAUGHTER
00:24:08LAUGHTER
00:24:10I'm sitting there
00:24:11listening to everyone
00:24:12talk about the way things are going
00:24:14and progressing.
00:24:17It's a lot.
00:24:18I am obsessed with Danny right now.
00:24:21It's a pep in my step
00:24:22and it's like the phony flutters.
00:24:25Nice.
00:24:26LAUGHTER
00:24:27I want to get out of this friendship
00:24:29place where he's at.
00:24:31So, um...
00:24:33Because I'm...
00:24:33We all know that I'm
00:24:34ten steps ahead.
00:24:37Relationships are two-way streets.
00:24:39It's not only about
00:24:40what one person thinks
00:24:42is good for them.
00:24:44And this is really
00:24:45for all of you to think about.
00:24:47If you're not sure
00:24:48that your needs are being held,
00:24:50are being met,
00:24:51are being understood,
00:24:54that is very important
00:24:55to bring up.
00:24:57Rebecca!
00:24:59What's going on?
00:25:27What's going on?
00:25:30What's going on?
00:25:32sorry why does it make you I would like to stop and explore this a little bit
00:25:42oh it's just it's just it's just a lot like it is hard obviously respecting
00:25:50your partner's great they want to go at like it's it's hard to make halfway it's
00:25:57very different and we did tell Steve the other night he's controlling the
00:26:01pace and that there needs to be a space for you also to have a voice in that
00:26:06pace and it's a fine balance to find because you don't want to lose yourself
00:26:13in the process of respecting your partner it's been eight years for me that I've
00:26:20been seeing was I'm craving of more affection everyone wants to feel desired
00:26:27and right now Steve is not giving it to me I don't know I don't know what's going on there
00:26:34please may I say something I think that you are needing something in the relationship that you
00:26:42are not getting but you're more worried about Steve than you are about your needs
00:26:48my sense was that you don't want to scare him off yeah there's a part of you that says oh
00:26:54he feels
00:26:55like it's a lot so let me just shrink in a little bit so he doesn't feel pressure yeah your
00:27:04courage
00:27:04needs to come in terms of allowing yourself to remain yourself in this equation I'm feeling like
00:27:14I'm going into my past habits of doubting my self-worth and then being so fearful of rejection
00:27:20like so fearful of being rejected I feel like I have been shrinking with Steve he reassures me I can
00:27:27meet but he needs to meet me half yeah yeah you can't be the one doing all that it upsets
00:27:32me about
00:27:32Rebecca because when I met her at the hens she was so energetic and so loud and full-on and
00:27:38like
00:27:38comfortable in her skin and I'm not seeing that with Rebecca anymore and I think Steve is making
00:27:43Rebecca doubt herself a little bit which is crazy because she is such a hot mom like she's a bad
00:27:49bitch
00:27:49she is a firecracker miss Julia hello how are you I feel very vulnerable sharing
00:28:02where I'm at right now this morning we had our first argument the truth is is that before the
00:28:13conflict the connection was building in terms of like the laughter the depth we were going there and
00:28:20and then it got derailed and then it got completely derailed that didn't just take me a step back a
00:28:28lot of
00:28:28emotional safety trust was sort of broken in that moment for me in terms of repairing because you've been
00:28:38derailed what do you need to repair and to then reassess and regroup and refocus of course I want to
00:28:45be
00:28:45attracted to my partner and I am very attracted to grace and he's a sexy boy and that's what makes
00:28:52this very nuanced I want to be authentic in this I want to be authentic with Grayson I'm wanting to
00:29:06honor
00:29:06and respect myself and also lean in what is she talking about and I want to continue the emotional
00:29:17depth and expanding the natural organic free-flowing energy that I probably need to romantically connect
00:29:30okay and Rachel I haven't forgotten about you what's been going on right now any kissing it's very much
00:29:43like a peck since the wedding we've only had two good night kisses and are they good night pecks or
00:29:52good
00:29:53night kisses it's very just like that's it oh so this week really has come on a timely thing because
00:30:02I've said to him really need you to lean into this because I've come here for a romantic connection I'm
00:30:08really feeling this with Steve I want more I am like physically attracted to my husband I'm hoping
00:30:14to for some progression because if there's not yeah it is starting to feel like rejection I can
00:30:21understand why Rachel is feeling the way that she's feeling today I'm really hoping that there is a full
00:30:26360 turnaround for Rachel she is such a queen she's bubbly she's beautiful she's confident she deserves
00:30:32the best and yeah I hope that Steven can let her in I understand so burn but like just a
00:30:40kiss just kiss
00:30:41me like a prop badge action speak louder than words you want to see the action and the action will
00:30:46then
00:30:46let you know oh yeah it's actually showing me yeah for me if at the end of this week I
00:30:52can get a proper
00:30:53kiss from my husband I'm like tick tick we're moving in the right direction so with that the first task

00:40:25be connected

00:40:33the kiss
00:40:35I like you Stephen I'm physically attracted to you I've having lucid dreams about you finally grabbing me
00:40:42kissing me and it makes me excited I just sit here and say you feel no spark for me nothing
00:40:50what a slap in the face
00:40:58I need to know why are you here because you're holding so much back from me
00:41:06it's all on your time schedule everything is on your time schedule currently and
00:41:14all I asked was a kiss a kiss that makes me feel something more than a peck than you would
00:41:20give your mum
00:41:21that's it that's all I wanted that's all I wanted was a kiss that's more than just that's it and
00:41:30I
00:41:31didn't want to kiss you and it to feel empty either Rachel I wanted to I want to kiss you
00:41:39with passion
00:41:40I actually don't think you want to kiss me at all Stephen and I think you actually don't want to
00:41:46tell me
00:41:46directly that you're not into me that you're not physically attracted to me direct question do you
00:41:55have any physical attraction to me at all it's a yes or no question Stephen I don't want to dance
00:42:06around I don't want you to dance around politically and give me a politically correct answer yes or no
00:42:11are you physically attracted to me trust me I can handle it there's more to it than a yes or
00:42:18no
00:42:18answer it is there isn't there is Rachel there is I'm a romantic and passionate person that's the
00:42:28way I am and I'm proud of it to be where is it where's the romance and passion that you're
00:42:33speaking of
00:42:36I need to feel the passion the spark I haven't felt that spark yet Rachel so I just keep doing
00:42:42this and wait for you to feel a spark yeah sweet cool um yeah I think we need some space
00:43:01right now
00:43:02I'm feeling really really rejected over a kiss and sitting here having you say to me that you've not
00:43:10viewed me romantically at all when I was exactly right I'm out on the ledge I'm by myself just
00:43:22booting off at this point yes

00:47:11you bullied Wowza I'm sorry Saturday yeah what I brought to the table for intimacy week is a bit
00:47:21of a list of questions and connecting with someone in this way is really sacred to me what's the most
00:47:28healing experience you've had in friendship okay how does that mean how do you mean by that sorry
00:47:40since we kind of had our little argument I feel like this is a way to reset reconnect and build
00:47:46intimacy has a stranger ever changed your life um um Julia's ultimate fantasy it's um it's interesting
00:48:03um I obviously everyone's got their own definition of what an ultimate fantasy is
00:48:15um put your mouth over it that's hot what do you think my superpower is like can you fly or
00:48:25something
00:48:27for Jules it's a questionnaire is it mine no okay obviously this is intimacy week let's change the
00:48:36pace a little bit um what's the greatest moment you've had on the footy field
00:48:45look to be honest I'm disappointed what about me is most strange or unfamiliar to you
00:48:53we had a chance to build chemistry and romance but this isn't building intimacy for me we've got a lot
00:49:00more here what's the most insightful thing you've learned from the personal development and therapy
00:49:05that you've done there is questions you can ask to build intimacy absolutely but the ones that I
00:49:11copped today what what's your favorite quality about your ex I have no idea what she's thinking
00:49:23I feel like I'm having mindgasm like an orgasm but in the mind
00:49:31definitely building something
00:49:35having like those mindgasms through conversation that in itself is really beautiful really um sacred
00:49:43why do you think we met um why do I think we met that's a bit of a hard one
00:49:49my ultimate fantasy night was kind of perfect to be honest I'm having such a good time
00:49:57still to come will Steve give Rebecca her ultimate fantasy if you wanted me to put it on
00:50:05yeah I mean Beck's intimacy task reveals a different side to Danny to be honest I'm gonna I'm actually
00:50:12gonna be really honest now it made me feel a bit emotional and in search of clarity Grayson asks the
00:50:20hard questions can you see any kind of future with me
00:50:34as intimacy week continues Mel and Luke's fantasy night task is proving successful after their shaky
00:50:45start to the experiment

00:52:43in paint
00:52:43words that reflect how I feel about him and then he is going to do the same thing for me
00:52:50intimacy intimacy for me at least is about that connection and like going deeper within your soul
00:52:56that is something that Danny struggles with
00:53:00Danny uses humor to mask him having to get too deep with things
00:53:05I just hope he's going to be taking this seriously I want to see my husband being vulnerable and and
00:53:12really talking about his feelings
00:53:17this task is going to really connect us

00:55:56and some of these emotions
00:55:58are
00:55:59coming back up to the surface
00:56:00and there's things I haven't felt
00:56:02in years

00:56:28honestly
00:56:28that felt
00:56:31really intimate
00:56:32how do you feel about the words I wrote
00:56:34I think they're amazing
00:56:35I didn't have time to think about them
00:56:36no of course not
00:56:37but like I liked
00:56:38I liked what I wrote
00:56:39I love what you wrote
00:56:40honestly hearing him write
00:56:42that he wrote forever
00:56:44on my leg
00:56:47was really
00:56:48pretty euphoric
00:56:49he did not have to write that on my leg
00:56:52which makes me
00:56:54really think that like
00:56:56he's really serious about this
00:56:58that's so cute
00:56:59right now
00:57:02I have the biggest crush on my husband

00:57:07I adore him
00:57:08if this continues on the trajectory
00:57:10that it is now
00:57:11then yeah
00:57:12I can see myself falling in love with him
00:57:14my favourite word would probably be loyalty
00:57:17because without that
00:57:18we have nothing
00:57:20that would be my favourite word
00:57:22every day
00:57:23like I see a different part of her
00:57:26or feel a different kind of way about her
00:57:28it's just
00:57:28it's something I've never experienced before
00:57:31cheers

00:57:43honey I'm home
00:57:44oh
00:57:44with high hopes for her evening with husband Steve
00:57:48so my fantasy tonight's Steve
00:57:50I'm just going to basically go in
00:57:52and just show him
00:57:53a little piece that I'd like to put myself in for him
00:57:55and stroll around the room
00:57:57I'm hoping he'll go
00:57:58okay
00:57:59penny's dropped
00:57:59now I'm getting it
00:58:00and um
00:58:01yeah

00:58:06I don't know what his reaction's going to be
00:58:08but still
00:58:09I am really hopeful
00:58:13and you know what
00:58:14I don't think daddy Steve
00:58:15is as wet and innocent
00:58:17as he makes out to be
00:58:18he might just uh
00:58:19come around
00:58:20to a bit of a
00:58:22I must admit
00:58:23I'm very curious about
00:58:25your day
00:58:25I had the best time of my life
00:58:27so we went shopping
00:58:28and we had to basically pick out costumes
00:58:30that we would potentially wear
00:58:32and basically I went into a
00:58:34well it was a sex shop
00:58:35and can I say one thing
00:58:36we were like
00:58:37oh honey
00:58:37we were like running around like mad women
00:58:39we were like mum's gone wild
00:58:41she'd be like
00:58:41I could have brought the whole shop
00:58:44that's a concern
00:58:47so that yeah
00:58:48Gia picked this out for me
00:58:49because she's like
00:58:50you're a working
00:58:52what is it
00:58:52she's like
00:58:52you're a boss bitch
00:58:55um
00:58:55yeah
00:58:56you know
00:58:57it's

00:59:03the most covered up

00:59:09um
00:59:11yeah
00:59:11I mean
00:59:12look
00:59:13I'd rather not
00:59:14because it's not something that I'm
00:59:17I guess
00:59:18what's the word
00:59:20it's just not for me
00:59:22it's very disappointing
00:59:23I didn't want to do the task
00:59:24I didn't even want to try
00:59:25you like lingerie
00:59:27when I think lingerie
00:59:28I don't think sex shop
00:59:29I want to feel desired
00:59:31I want to feel sexy Rebecca
00:59:32I'm not getting any of this
00:59:34yeah
00:59:36this is on fast forward
00:59:37we know what this is all about
00:59:39but
00:59:41intimacy comes in
00:59:42in many shapes and forms
00:59:43and
00:59:44it doesn't have to be
00:59:45um
00:59:46like this
00:59:47immediately
00:59:48Rebecca is a wonderful person
00:59:50strong
00:59:51independent
00:59:52she's confident
00:59:52but
00:59:53if I'm being completely honest
00:59:55I find
00:59:56Rebecca and I are a little bit different
00:59:59Rebecca's a little bit
01:00:01full on
01:00:02it's not about
01:00:03me stalling us
01:00:04and going
01:00:04hey we're doing my speed
01:00:06it's about us
01:00:07finding our speed
01:00:08that's where I'm at
01:00:09I came in here to find my person
01:00:11I'm being my authentic self
01:00:13and he's not meeting me halfway
01:00:15you have to adjust
01:00:17I have to adjust
01:00:18he doesn't want to try
01:00:19just all lip service
01:00:21and we have to meet halfway
01:00:23like I feel like I'm going crazy
01:00:25I feel like we're on completely different pages
01:00:27we are happy
01:00:28we're good
01:00:29and right now
01:00:31I'm starting to doubt the relationship
01:00:33like I don't know whether Steve's intimate
01:00:34I do appreciate all this
01:00:36I really do
01:00:36yeah
01:00:37it brings us closer
01:00:48it's Stella's ultimate fantasy night
01:00:52and while Philip is getting in touch
01:00:54with his creative side
01:00:55it's Stella who's taking some artistic license
01:00:59with her fantasy
01:01:01right so you know how it's my fantasy day
01:01:03yes
01:01:04I actually feel like you should be taking your clothes off as well
01:01:11at least you went to the gym today for a pump
01:01:16alright you know what
01:01:17alright
01:01:18I think every woman will agree with me
01:01:21multitasking men are quite sexy
01:01:24so tonight I made him do all of these little tasks
01:01:27how about we do those push ups
01:01:29let's do 70
01:01:30I'm going to stop at 69
01:01:35I am enjoying taking the reins tonight
01:01:37it's great because
01:01:39it just like goes with the flow
01:01:40you know
01:01:41it's what I like about Philip
01:01:43oh here we go
01:01:47lucky he didn't ask me to get up
01:01:48probably about two minutes before
01:01:49because as we progress
01:01:51I might not be able to leave the table
01:01:53you know
01:01:53for natural reasons
01:01:57I was trying to concentrate
01:01:58I'm trying to draw
01:01:59but uh
01:02:00my eyes would go everywhere
01:02:02she was just sitting in a certain way
01:02:04looking rather inviting
01:02:06thankfully I was sitting down
01:02:07because you know
01:02:08just I've got tight jocks on
01:02:10before I do the unveiling
01:02:11I want you to know that this came
01:02:13like I tried
01:02:14alright
01:02:15alright so
01:02:16this is what I go
01:02:17this is me
01:02:27Lucaso was definitely on a Phil Semi
01:02:31I just I had to emphasize that
01:02:34there's three legs there
01:02:35two are bigger than the other
01:02:36all I saw is a love heart
01:02:38so I'll just focus on that
01:02:51while fantasy night draws to a close
01:02:54for one couple
01:02:56the evening is far from over
01:02:59after Julia's ultimate fantasy
01:03:01left her husband feeling confused
01:03:04Grayson is eager to raise his concerns
01:03:07about the state of their relationship
01:03:11I'm genuinely into Julia
01:03:12but
01:03:14that conversation felt like
01:03:16I was entrenching myself
01:03:17more in the friend zone
01:03:18it's intimacy week
01:03:20you
01:03:21this is designed to help you
01:03:23move into the next stage
01:03:24of your relationship
01:03:25and she's not
01:03:25they're not leaning in
01:03:26that's not leaning into me
01:03:28asking me a series of questions
01:03:29about my
01:03:30football memories
01:03:32if that's intimacy to you
01:03:34I mean we're
01:03:35we're on completely different
01:03:37planets
01:03:42I wanted to sort of
01:03:43have a conversation with you
01:03:45around
01:03:46how
01:03:47I'm feeling
01:03:48and how we're feeling
01:03:49and where we're at
01:03:50sure
01:03:51but um
01:03:52I'm really
01:03:53really nervous to have this conversation
01:03:55just so you know
01:03:56okay
01:03:58I can't discount your
01:04:01your ultimate fantasy
01:04:03of intimacy
01:04:05but for me mine's like
01:04:07so different
01:04:10um
01:04:11by asking me questions like
01:04:14what's my fondest memory
01:04:15on the football field
01:04:16or
01:04:16what was the best
01:04:19trade of my ex-girlfriend
01:04:20does that literally
01:04:21build intimacy for you
01:04:23like is that
01:04:23it's getting to know you
01:04:24these are things I don't know about you
01:04:26and I wanted to
01:04:28get to know you more
01:04:32again I was trying to lean in
01:04:33and be curious
01:04:34but I wanted to keep it light
01:04:36because there had been some
01:04:37dense energy around us
01:04:39for me I think
01:04:40like intimacy is more
01:04:42around the chemistry
01:04:44romance side

01:04:48of like
01:04:50your ultimate fantasy
01:04:51that's where we are at right now
01:04:53um
01:04:54no I think that that's
01:04:56where you're at
01:04:58this chat was just definitely
01:04:59not what I was expecting
01:05:02I feel like
01:05:03the task
01:05:04was a really positive
01:05:06step in the right direction
01:05:07for Grayson and I
01:05:09I thought we were
01:05:10building connection
01:05:11so yeah
01:05:12it's a bit confusing
01:05:13I want to be creating that
01:05:15emotional safety
01:05:16you know
01:05:17like
01:05:18these things are
01:05:19important
01:05:20yeah
01:05:22okay
01:05:25it's super deflating
01:05:27like she uses words like
01:05:29leaning in
01:05:29and getting curious
01:05:30and there's zero of it
01:05:32I just can't seem to get
01:05:34any sort of
01:05:34solid clarity
01:05:35out of
01:05:36any conversation
01:05:37that I have with Julia
01:05:38and for me
01:05:39that just tells me
01:05:40you know
01:05:41she's not
01:05:42invested in it

01:05:46but at this point
01:05:48of our relationship

01:06:58I've asked her
01:07:00blatant questions

01:07:03long-winded answer

01:07:06continue creating
01:07:07safe spaces

01:07:55problem

01:08:28for us
01:08:28Mel and Luke's
01:08:30incredible
01:08:31transformation
01:08:31I feel closer
01:08:33with Mel
01:08:33after the task
01:08:33because that
01:08:34physical gap
01:08:35between us
01:08:35has kind of
01:08:36been bridged
01:08:37a little bit
01:08:37we have been
01:08:38progressing
01:08:39like in the
01:08:39right direction

01:08:56I don't have an
01:08:56earpiece in my ear
01:08:57I'm not waiting
01:08:58for someone to
01:08:58tell me what to say
01:09:01Alessandra calls
01:09:02out Steve's
01:09:02behaviour
01:09:03the lack of respect
01:09:04that you're showing
01:09:05me is appalling
01:09:06really tread lightly
01:09:07I don't take to
01:09:08this well
01:09:09and in a shock
01:09:10turn of events
01:09:12one bride
01:09:13calls it quits
