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 don't know.
00:13:43I don't know.
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.
00:14:18Oh, 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 designed 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 and sex-focused,
00:14:49but 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 with your partner
00:15:18and strengthening your understanding of connection,
00:15:21romance, and sexual compatibility.
00:15:23Later today, I'll be hosting a workshop with all the brides
00:15:26and tomorrow with the grooms
00:15:28where we'll explore some home truths about intimacy.
00:15:31For you to take back an 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.
00:15:43I 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 on 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.
00:16:09You'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 you'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.
00:16:39For Rachel and Stephen,
00:16:41Intimacy Week is an opportunity to address
00:16:43some of the challenges the couple has faced.
00:16:46We've both discussed that intimacy is something
00:16:49that we need to work on.
00:16:52I'll be the first to admit I 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, I don't know what I'm doing.
00:17:06I'm not great at intimacy.
00:17:08You know, that area is, 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, to be honest.
00:17:16I'm just like, what's going to happen?
00:17:18What's going to happen here?
00:17:18I think that's why I'm really excited about working on it together.
00:17:24Yeah.
00:17:25Fantastic.
00:17:27Fantastic.
00:17:28That'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 at a pivotal time in their relationship,
00:17:40with Steve having recently divulged an exhaustive list
00:17:44of the issues he has with Rebecca during 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, a bit more outspoken.
00:18:07I'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.
00:18:15Oblivious 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 desired?
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.
00:19:00The 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.
00:19:11We 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.
00:19:21Like, I 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,
00:19:40I'm actually really looking forward to this.
00:19:43So I 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
00:20:16that we're in this position.
00:20:18Last night we had a whole conversation
00:20:20about getting out of that friend zone,
00:20:22and now, this morning,
00:20:24they kept on saying friendship,
00:20:25which 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,
00:20:37intimacy 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,
00:20:46so 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!
00:21:13Hello!
00:21:14The brides have arrived at their workshop with Alessandra.
00:21:19Please have a seat.
00:21:21It will be an opportunity for the group
00:21:23to check in on each other's progress.
00:21:26Good 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,
00:21:46I 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,
00:22:05safety,
00:22:05trust in the relationship,
00:22:07and then all the really fun,
00:22:09exciting,
00:22:11romantic,
00:22:12playful aspects of a relationship
00:22:13that you get with people
00:22:14who are not your friends.
00:22:17That 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.
00:22:28Hey!
00:22:30Gia, that 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?
00:22:52It'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,
00:22:58and it was there,
00:22:59like the wedding day.
00:23:00Yeah, it's hard to, like,
00:23:02honestly keep our hands
00:23:03off each other at 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
00:23:14that I had
00:23:15was from the get-go.
00:23:17Like, I don't know
00:23:17how 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
00:23:24and this and that,
00:23:25like, it's already...
00:23:27Listening to Stella
00:23:27talk 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.
00:23:38Same.
00:23:40LAUGHTER
00:23:42I just think she's full of shit.
00:23:45Alisa,
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, how many times a week
00:23:56is enough for you?
00:23:57He's like, every day,
00:23:58I'm like, well,
00:23:58that might be a little bit
00:23:59too much for me.
00:24:00I don't know if I can take that
00:24:01every day, but maybe.
00:24:04LAUGHTER
00:24:06LAUGHTER
00:24:10I'm sitting there
00:24:11listening to everyone
00:24:12talk about the way things are going
00:24:14and progressing.
00:24:15LAUGHTER
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
00:24:30place where he's at.
00:24:32So, um...
00:24:33Cos I'm...
00:24:33We all know that I'm ten 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,
00:24:52are being understood,
00:24:54that is very important
00:24:55to bring up.
00:24:57Rebecca!
00:24:59What's going on?
00:25:13What's going on?
00:25:13Relationships are two-way streets.
00:25:15It's not only about
00:25:16what one person thinks
00:25:17is good for them.
00:25:23Rebecca!
00:25:27What's going on?
00:25:32Sorry.
00:25:32Why does it make you
00:25:34react emotionally?
00:25:35I'm starting already.
00:25:36It's all right.
00:25:38I would like to stop
00:25:39and explore this a little bit.
00:25:42Oh, it's just...
00:25:43It's just...
00:25:44It's just a lot.
00:25:47Like, it is hard.
00:25:49Obviously, respecting your partner's
00:25:51speed they want to go at.
00:25:53Like, it's hard to meet halfway.
00:25:56It's very difficult.
00:25:58Very difficult.
00:25:58And we did tell Steve
00:25:59the other night
00:26:00he's controlling the pace
00:26:01and that there needs
00:26:03to be a space for you also
00:26:05to have a voice
00:26:05in that pace.
00:26:08And it's a fine balance
00:26:10to find
00:26:11because you don't want
00:26:12to lose yourself
00:26:13in the process
00:26:15of respecting your partner.
00:26:18I've spent eight years
00:26:19for me that I've been seeing
00:26:20because I'm craving
00:26:21more affection.
00:26:24Everyone wants
00:26:25to feel desired
00:26:27and right now
00:26:28Steve is not giving it to me.
00:26:31I don't know.
00:26:32I don't know
00:26:32what's going on there.
00:26:34Please may I say something?
00:26:36I think that you
00:26:37are needing
00:26:40something
00:26:40in the relationship
00:26:41that you are not getting
00:26:42but you're more worried
00:26:44about Steve
00:26:45than you are
00:26:46about your needs.
00:26:48My sense was that
00:26:50you don't want
00:26:50to scare him off.
00:26:52Yeah.
00:26:53There's a part of you
00:26:54that says
00:26:54oh he feels like
00:26:56it's a lot
00:26:56so let me just
00:26:57shrink in a little bit
00:26:59so he doesn't feel pressure.
00:27:01Yeah.
00:27:03Your courage
00:27:04needs to come
00:27:05in terms of
00:27:06allowing yourself
00:27:07to remain yourself
00:27:09in this equation.
00:27:12I'm feeling like
00:27:14I'm going into
00:27:15my past habits
00:27:17of doubting
00:27:17my self worth
00:27:18and then being
00:27:19so fearful
00:27:20of rejection
00:27:20like so fearful
00:27:22of being rejected
00:27:22I feel like
00:27:23I have been
00:27:25shrinking with Steve.
00:27:26He reassures me
00:27:27I can meet
00:27:27but he needs
00:27:28to meet me half
00:27:29Yeah yeah
00:27:30you can't be the one
00:27:30doing all that.
00:27:31It upsets me
00:27:32about Rebecca
00:27:32because when I met
00:27:34her at the Hens
00:27:34she was so energetic
00:27:36and so loud
00:27:37and full on
00:27:37and like comfortable
00:27:39in her skin
00:27:39and I'm not seeing
00:27:40that with Rebecca
00:27:40anymore
00:27:41and I think
00:27:41Steve is making
00:27:42Rebecca doubt
00:27:43herself a little bit
00:27:44which is crazy
00:27:45because she is
00:27:46such a hot mum
00:27:47like she's a bad bitch
00:27:49she is a firecracker.
00:27:53Miss Julia
00:27:55hello
00:27:56how are you?
00:27:58I feel very
00:27:59vulnerable
00:28:00sharing
00:28:02where I'm
00:28:03at right now.
00:28:06this morning
00:28:07we had
00:28:08our first argument
00:28:10the truth is
00:28:11is that
00:28:12before the conflict
00:28:13the connection
00:28:14was building
00:28:15in terms of like
00:28:16the laughter
00:28:17the depth
00:28:18we were going there
00:28:19and then it got derailed
00:28:21and then it got
00:28:22completely derailed
00:28:23that didn't just
00:28:25take me
00:28:25a step back
00:28:27a lot of
00:28:28emotional
00:28:30safety
00:28:30trust
00:28:32was sort of
00:28:33broken in that
00:28:34moment for me.
00:28:35In terms of repairing
00:28:36because you've been
00:28:38derailed
00:28:38what do you need
00:28:40to repair
00:28:41and to then
00:28:42reassess
00:28:43and regroup
00:28:44and refocus?
00:28:45Of course I want
00:28:45to be attracted
00:28:46to my partner
00:28:47and I am very
00:28:48attracted to Grayson
00:28:49he's a sexy boy
00:28:51and that's what
00:28:52makes this
00:28:53very nuanced.
00:28:56I want to be
00:28:57authentic in this
00:28:59I want to be
00:28:59authentic with Grayson.
00:29:04I'm wanting
00:29:05to honour
00:29:06and respect
00:29:06myself
00:29:07and
00:29:08also
00:29:09lean in.
00:29:11I was like
00:29:12what is she
00:29:13talking about?
00:29:15And I want
00:29:16to continue
00:29:16the emotional
00:29:17depth
00:29:18and
00:29:18expanding
00:29:19the
00:29:19natural
00:29:20organic
00:29:21free flowing
00:29:22energy
00:29:22that I probably
00:29:23need
00:29:24to romantically
00:29:25connect.
00:29:30Okay
00:29:31and Rachel
00:29:32I haven't
00:29:33forgotten
00:29:34about you

00:29:38going on?

00:30:18to feel like

00:31:58her relationship
00:31:58with Steve
00:31:59a much needed
00:32:00spark.
00:32:03Okay.

00:32:1850 year old I've ever
00:32:19met in my life
00:32:19you're a bad bitch.

00:32:23I want her to feel
00:32:24like a baddie and
00:32:25she is.
00:32:27They're cute aren't

00:32:35Oh my god okay.
00:32:38I'm really.
00:32:39Oh that's hot as.

00:32:51What about a whip?
00:32:52Do you want to get a whip?

00:33:09continues Rachel
00:33:11Hey.
00:33:12Is hoping Alessandra's
00:33:14task might help her
00:33:15address the lack of
00:33:16intimacy in her
00:33:17relationship with
00:33:18Stephen.
00:33:20Tonight is
00:33:21fantasy's night.
00:33:22Essentially
00:33:23it is us girls
00:33:25bringing to life
00:33:26a fantasy
00:33:27with our partner.
00:33:30So what do they
00:33:31mean by fantasies
00:33:32like?
00:33:33So it's an intimate
00:33:35fantasy that I will
00:33:36be sharing with you.
00:33:39Yeah.
00:33:40Okay no worries.
00:33:42Obviously intimacy
00:33:42is really lacking
00:33:43for Stephen and I.
00:33:44So my fantasy
00:33:46right now
00:33:47with my husband
00:33:48is that he will
00:33:49kiss me
00:33:50and really kiss me
00:33:52not peck me
00:33:53actually give me
00:33:54a big old
00:33:55passion.
00:33:56That's a thick
00:33:57notepad you got there.
00:33:59There's no passion
00:34:01about kissing
00:34:01at all.
00:34:04And since the wedding
00:34:05I've only had
00:34:07two goodnight kisses.
00:34:09Like pecks
00:34:10it barely kisses
00:34:11you know.
00:34:11It's just very
00:34:12how you kiss your mum.
00:34:14I am hoping
00:34:15that you know
00:34:16we can
00:34:17progress
00:34:18just our kissing.
00:34:19Just our kissing.
00:34:20But I am going to need
00:34:21the apartment
00:34:22for a little bit.
00:34:23Okay no worries.
00:34:25See you soon.
00:34:25See you soon.
00:34:27I'm actually feeling
00:34:28really excited
00:34:29for this task.
00:34:30I want to like
00:34:31create
00:34:31a rom-com vibe
00:34:33like in love actually
00:34:35and hold some
00:34:36placards up.
00:34:37You know
00:34:37kind of welcoming
00:34:38Stephen to my fantasy.
00:34:40Okay.
00:34:42Asking some
00:34:42really direct
00:34:43questions too.
00:34:46Get him to really
00:34:47actually open up
00:34:48to me more.
00:34:52Now I'm going
00:34:53into this
00:34:54really open hearted.
00:34:55We're here to put
00:34:56ourselves out there.
00:34:57We're here to be
00:34:58vulnerable.
00:35:00And
00:35:01that's what
00:35:02I'm going to do.
00:35:05I'm really hoping
00:35:06he leads into this.
00:35:09I want this
00:35:10so badly
00:35:11with him.
00:35:14I want this
00:35:15to progress.
00:35:17I need
00:35:18some romance.
00:35:19I need it.
00:35:20to be
00:35:21to be
00:35:51All righty.
00:35:53It says, please read out loud.
00:36:04Welcome to my fantasy task.
00:36:06I ask that you please answer all questions clearly.
00:36:14What things do you like about me and my personality?
00:36:22The things I like about you are is your caring, selfless nature that you have.
00:36:30And you bring me up every day.
00:36:32You feel like that you're my number one fan and you make me never doubt myself.
00:36:38And I really appreciate that about your personality.
00:36:41That's the number one thing I can say about you that I really enjoy.
00:36:51What physical asset of mine do you like the most?
00:36:55I love your eyes and your laugh.
00:36:57Your laugh is very contagious.
00:36:59And having said that, you actually have more than one type of laugh too.
00:37:03You've got a giggly one, a serious one, and there's the nervous one that we had at our wedding.
00:37:12So you have a few, you have a few laughs.
00:37:30Will you kiss me now, in this moment, the kind of kiss that makes me feel something?
00:37:53I can kiss you, Rachel.
00:37:56I can kiss you.
00:38:14Will you kiss me now, in this moment, the kind of kiss that makes me feel something?
00:38:40I can kiss you, Rachel.
00:38:43I can kiss you.
00:38:47But I'm not too sure if it's going to make you feel something.
00:39:06I need to understand what you mean by that.
00:39:10I really, yeah, you need to help me understand what you mean by that.
00:39:17And I'll let you, and I'll explain.
00:39:20I'll explain.
00:39:21Yeah.
00:39:22Do you want to, we have a seat and I'll explain?
00:39:24Sure.
00:39:27You know, I'm really, I'm going to be really open to you, with this.
00:39:48The way I stand in the relationship right now, we feel like roommates and I feel like it
00:39:54is friendly.
00:39:56For me to kiss you and make you feel something, I need to feel that romantic connection.
00:40:01And unfortunately, I haven't felt that romantic connection as of yet.
00:40:09This is really hard for me to be saying this right now.
00:40:13For me to get intimate and to get that passion, I need that spark.
00:40:19I need that romantic connection.
00:40:21I need that flirtiness.
00:40:23I need all of those dots to be connected.
00:40:27For me to feel comfortable and to give you the passion that you want, that you need to
00:40:32feel in the kiss.
00:40:35I like you, Stephen.
00:40:37I'm physically attracted to you.
00:40:39I have having lucid dreams about you finally grabbing me and kissing me and it makes me excited.
00:40:46And to sit here and say you feel no spark for me, nothing, what a slap in the face.
00:40:58I need to know, why are you here?
00:41:02Because you're holding so much back from me.
00:41:06It's all on your time schedule.
00:41:09Everything is on your time schedule currently.
00:41:14And all I asked was a kiss.
00:41:17A kiss that makes me feel something.
00:41:19More than a peck than you would give your mum.
00:41:21That's it.
00:41:22That's all I wanted.
00:41:24That's all I wanted.
00:41:25Was a kiss.
00:41:27That's more than just...
00:41:29That's it.
00:41:30And...
00:41:31I didn't want to kiss you and it to feel empty either, Rachel.
00:41:36Yeah.
00:41:37I want to kiss you with passion.
00:41:40I actually don't think you want to kiss me at all, Stephen.
00:41:43And I think you actually don't want to tell me directly that you're not into me.
00:41:49That you're not physically attracted to me.
00:41:53Direct question.
00:41:55Do you have any physical attraction to me at all?
00:42:02It's a yes or no question, Stephen.
00:42:04I don't want to dance around.
00:42:06I don't want you to dance around politically and give me a politically correct answer.
00:42:10Yes or no.
00:42:11Are you physically attracted to me?
00:42:14Trust me, I can handle it.
00:42:17There's more to it than a yes or no answer.
00:42:19But it is there isn't.
00:42:21There is, Rachel.
00:42:23There is.
00:42:24I'm a romantic and passionate person.
00:42:28That's the way I am.
00:42:30And I'm proud of it to be like that.
00:42:31Well, where is it?
00:42:32Where's the romance and passion that you're speaking of?
00:42:36I need to feel the passion, the spark.
00:42:38I haven't felt that spark yet, Rachel.
00:42:40So, I just keep doing this and wait for you to feel a spark?
00:42:49Yeah, sweet.
00:42:55Cool.
00:43:00Yeah, I think we need some space right now.
00:43:02I'm feeling really, really rejected over a kiss.
00:43:06Um, and sitting here having you say to me that you've not viewed me romantically at all.
00:43:14When...
00:43:17I was exactly right.
00:43:19I'm out on the ledge.
00:43:20I'm by myself.
00:43:22F*** just boot me off at this point.
00:43:24F*** this.
00:43:28I don't deserve this.
00:43:42No!
00:43:43I'm not...
00:43:45No...
00:43:45No!
00:43:45No!
00:43:51No!

00:47:02fantasy night to a whole new level
00:47:09at school were you bullied
00:47:15wowza um sorry say that again what i've brought to the table for intimacy week is a bit of a
00:47:21list of
00:47:21questions and connecting with someone in this way is really sacred to me what's the most healing
00:47:28experience you've had in friendship um how does that mean how do you mean by that sorry since we kind
00:47:41of had our little argument i feel like this is a way to reset reconnect and build intimacy
00:47:47how's a stranger ever changed your life um um julia's ultimate fantasy
00:48:01it's um it's interesting um i obviously everyone's got their own definition of what an ultimate fantasy is
00:48:20what do you think my superpower is like can you fly or something for jules it's a questionnaire
00:48:29is it mine no okay obviously this is intimacy week let's change the pace a little bit
00:48:39um 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 copped
00:49:12today weren't what's your favorite quality about your ex
00:49:18i have no idea what she's thinking
00:49:23i feel like i'm having a mindgasm like an orgasm but in the mind
00:49:31we're definitely 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
00:49:49um my 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

00:52:42write on him in paint words that reflect how i feel about him and then he is going to do
00:52:49the same
00:52:49thing for me intimacy for me at least is about that connection and like going deeper within your soul

00:53:05things i just hope he's going to be taking this seriously i want to see my husband being vulnerable

00:56:36them no of course not but like i like i liked what i wrote i love what you wrote honestly
00:56:41hearing him
00:56:42right that he wrote forever on my leg was really pretty euphoric he did not have to write that on
00:56:52my
00:56:52leg which makes me really think that like he's really serious about this that's so cute right now
00:57:02i have the biggest crush on my husband i adore him i adore him if this continues on the trajectory
00:57:10that
00:57:10is now then yeah i couldn't see myself falling in love with him favorite word would probably be
00:57:16loyalty because without that we have nothing that would be my favorite word every day like i see
00:57:24a different part of her or i feel a different kind of way about her it's just it's something i've
00:57:29never
00:57:29experienced before cheers on it cheers here's to painting each other
00:57:38down the hall rebecca has returned from the adult store honey i'm home oh with high hopes for her
00:57:46evening with husband steve so my fantasy tonight steve i'm just going to basically go in and just show
00:57:53him a little piece that i'd like to put myself in for him and stroll around the room i'm hoping
00:57:58he'll
00:57:58go okay pennies dropped now i'm getting it and um yeah steps it up a bit glass of wine i
00:58:04would love a
00:58:05glass of wine i don't know what his reaction is going to be but still i am really hopeful
00:58:13and you know what i don't think daddy steve is as wet innocent as he makes out to be he
00:58:18might just uh
00:58:19come around to a bit of a i must admit i'm very curious about your day i had the best
00:58:26time of my life
00:58:27so we went shopping and we had to basically pick out costumes so that we would potentially wear yeah
00:58:32and basically i went into it it was a sex shop and can i say one thing we were like
00:58:37oh honey we had we
00:58:38were like running around like mad women like mum's got a wild to be like i could have bought the
00:58:42whole
00:58:42shop yeah that's that's a concern so that yeah do you pick this out for me because she's like you're
00:58:50you're you're a working what is it she's like you're a a boss bitch um yeah you know it's it's
00:58:58these
00:58:59things that i picked just so you know yeah i like the most covered up yeah yeah that's a good
00:59:07one if
00:59:08you wanted me to put it on uh yeah i mean look i'd rather not because it's not something that
00:59:16i'm
00:59:17i guess uh what's the word it's just not for me it's very disappointing i didn't want to do the
00:59:24task
00:59:24he didn't even want to try you like lingerie when i think lingerie i don't think sex shop i want
00:59:30to feel
00:59:30desire i want to feel sexy rebecca i'm not getting any of this yeah this is on fast forward we
00:59:38know
00:59:38what this is all about but intimacy comes in many shapes and forms and it doesn't have to be um
00:59:46like
00:59:46this immediately rebecca is a wonderful person strong independence confident but if i'm being
00:59:54completely honest i find rebecca and i are a little bit different rebecca's a little bit
01:00:01full-on it's not about me stalling us and going hey we're doing my speed it's about us finding our
01:00:08speed that's where i'm at i came in here to find my person i'm being my authentic self and he's
01:00:14not
01:00:14meeting me halfway you have to adjust i have to adjust he doesn't want to try just all lip service
01:00:21and we have to meet halfway like i feel like i'm going crazy i feel like we're on completely
01:00:26different pages we are happy we're good and right now i'm starting to doubt the relationship
01:00:33like i don't know whether steve's intimate i do appreciate all this i really do yeah it brings us
01:00:46closer
01:00:48it's stella's ultimate fantasy night
01:00:52and while philip is getting in touch with his creative side
01:00:55it's stella who's taking some artistic license with her fantasy
01:01:01right so you know it's my fantasy day yes i actually feel like you should be taking your clothes off
01:01:07as well
01:01:11oh at least you went to the gym today for a pump
01:01:15all right you know what all right i think every woman will agree with me multitasking men are quite
01:01:23sexy so tonight i made him do all of these little tasks how about we do those push-ups let's
01:01:30do 70.
01:01:31i'm gonna stop at 69.
01:01:35i am enjoying taking the reins tonight it's great because it just like goes with the flow
01:01:40you know it's what i like about philip oh here we go
01:01:47lucky he didn't ask me to get up probably about two minutes before because as we progress
01:01:51i might not be able to leave the table you know for a natural reason
01:01:57i was trying to concentrate and trying to draw but uh my eyes would go everywhere she was just
01:02:02sitting in a certain way looking rather inviting thankfully i was sitting down because you know
01:02:08just i've got tight jocks on before i do the unveiling i just i want you to know that this
01:02:13case like i tried all right all right all right so this is what i go on
01:02:21this is me
01:02:27well casso was definitely on a phil semi
01:02:31i just i had to emphasize that there's three legs there two are bigger than the other all i saw
01:02:37is a love heart so i'll just focus on that
01:02:44what's wrong with that look at her there's definitely nothing wrong
01:02:48while fantasy night draws to a close for one couple the evening is far from over
01:02:59after julia's ultimate fantasy left her husband feeling confused
01:03:05grayson is eager to raise his concerns about the state of their relationship
01:03:11i'm genuinely into julia but that conversation felt like i was entrenching myself more in the friend
01:03:18zone it's intimacy week you this is designed to help you move into the next stage of your relationship
01:03:25and she's not not leaning in that's not leaning into me asking me a series of questions about my
01:03:30football memories if that's intimacy to you i mean we're we're on completely different planets
01:03:41um i wanted to sort of have a conversation with you around
01:03:46how i'm feeling and how we're feeling and where we're at sure it's um i'm really really nervous to
01:03:54have this conversation just so you know okay i can't discount your your ultimate fantasy of intimacy
01:04:05but for me mine's like so different
01:04:11um by asking me questions like what's my fondest memory on the football field or what was the best
01:04:19i'm trying to my ex-girlfriend does that literally build intimacy for you like is that it's getting
01:04:24to know you these are things i don't know about you and i wanted to get to know you more
01:04:32again i was trying to lean in and be curious but i wanted to keep it light because there had
01:04:37been
01:04:37some dense energy around us for me i think like intimacy is more around the chemistry romance side
01:04:46those questions like is that your ultimate fantasy of like
01:04:50your ultimate fantasy that's where we are at right now
01:04:53um no i think that that's where you're at this chat was just definitely not what i was expecting
01:05:02i feel like the task was a really positive step in the right direction for grayson and i
01:05:09i thought we were building connection so yeah it's a bit confusing i want to be creating that emotional
01:05:16safety you know like these things are important yeah okay
01:05:25it's super deflating like she uses words like leaning in and getting curious and there's zero
01:05:31of it i just can't seem to get any sort of solid clarity out of any conversation that i have
01:05:37with
01:05:38julia and for me that just tells me you know she's she's not invested in it i want to build
01:05:44a connection
01:05:46but at this point of our relationship i'm really confused about how you actually feel about me
01:05:55okay can i ask you this question yeah can you see any kind of future with me
01:06:04um
01:06:16i'm really confused about how you actually feel about me okay can i ask you this question do you can
01:06:25you see
01:06:26any kind of future with me um that depth of connection needs to happen before anything
01:06:38i've asked you i just wanted you to answer this question for me it's really simple
01:06:41well can you see an emotional connection building for us in the future
01:06:48if if we're able to communicate and there's emotional safety
01:06:53in terms of my needs that's the part um
01:06:58i've asked her blatant questions i i get this long-winded answer we need to just continue creating
01:07:07safe spaces to to really talk about what's really under the surface just just tell me if you like
01:07:12me or not you know leaning in and really reading the energy of the other person jules
01:07:18can you answer this question for me i feel like we're in court or something and you're like
01:07:23firing these questions at me and it just doesn't feel it's useful so you don't like answering
01:07:29questions do you like to dance you like answering use all this language that i don't i don't
01:07:34understand like use language like lean in and and get curious curiosity like is is not asking me
01:07:44questions about what my favorite football like that is not intimacy obviously you're not happy with
01:07:52what i've absolutely not okay well this is a problem girls i feel at this point that i'm wasting
01:07:58my time oh absolutely wasting my time yeah i'm getting hurt i'm starting to feel hurt i i've been
01:08:08so invested in this but i'm just um yeah i'm just not getting any any sort of reciprocation julie needs
01:08:18to step up to the plate for this to progress any further that's how i feel right now tomorrow night
01:08:27it was huge for us mel and luke's incredible transformation i feel closer with mel after the
01:08:33task because that physical gap between us has kind of been bridged a little bit we have been
01:08:38progressing like in the right direction i really want to send a clear message to steven rachel draws
01:08:44her line in the sand taking this a tense boys workshop i feel like you're skirting around my
01:08:54questions i disagree with you i don't have an earpiece in my ear i'm not waiting for someone to tell
01:08:58me what to say alessandra calls out steve's behavior the lack of respect that you're showing
01:09:05me is appalling really tread lightly i don't take to this well and in a shock turn of events
01:09:12one bride calls it quits and makes a dramatic exit
