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.
00:13:40Well, I'm...
00:14:07With last night's commitment ceremony still in everyone's minds,
00:14:11a dramatic gear change is about to take place as the couples embark on one of the most
00:14:24exciting, meaningful, and confronting phases of the experiment, Intimacy Week.
00:14:31The week ahead is upon us. For Intimacy Week this year, I've devised a series of tasks designed
00:14:38to empower our couples to take the next steps in their relationships.
00:14:42Beck and Johnny.
00:14:44Okay.
00:14:45People may assume intimacy is purely physical and sex-focused, but this is not the case.
00:14:52Oh.
00:14:53Ready?
00:14:53I want our couples to feel safe, to be able to lean into vulnerability, and find the courage
00:15:00to step outside their comfort zones in 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 is all about deepening intimacy with your partner.
00:15:18And strengthening your understanding of connection, romance, and sexual compatibility.
00:15:23Later today, I'll be hosting a workshop with all the brides, and tomorrow with the grooms,
00:15:28where we'll explore some home truths about intimacy.
00:15:31For you to take back and experiment with as a couple.
00:15:34Oh, 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, so 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.
00:16:06Are 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, I'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.
00:16:30You mean you.
00:16:31I was just cracking, Jo.
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 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, I'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, to be honest.
00:17:16I'm just like, what's going to happen?
00:17:18What's going to happen here?
00:17:19I think that's what I'm really excited about,
00:17:22working on it together.
00:17:24Yeah.
00:17:25Fantastic.
00:17:27Fantastic.
00:17:28That's becoming your buzzword.
00:17:30I love the little giggle at the end.
00:17:35For Rebecca and Steve,
00:17:37Intimacy Week has come at a pivotal time in their relationship,
00:17:41with 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.
00:18:48Steve 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
00:19:08so 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.
00:19:17I just have a 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,
00:19:39I'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.
00:20:01You know, time 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.
00:20:23And 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, so we just, uh...
00:20:47Yeah.
00:20:48Take it as it comes.
00:20:50He 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...
00:21:10Hello!
00:21:14The brides have arrived at their workshop
00:21:17with Alessandra.
00:21:18Please 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, 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, this 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,
00:22:06trust 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.
00:22:27Mm-hmm.
00:22:28Hey.
00:22:29Gia, that part of your relationship
00:22:31is really flowing really 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, and it's so lame,
00:22:49but...
00:22:50It's what everybody wants.
00:22:52Are you kidding?
00:22:52Isn't it, Lee?
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 from 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.
00:23:39Same.
00:23:43I just think she's full of shit.
00:23:45Alyssa,
00:23:46I know that you two are also meshing really well.
00:23:50Yeah, we're very sexual people.
00:23:51David and I have spoken about that
00:23:53and our needs.
00:23:54You know,
00:23:55how many times a week is enough for you?
00:23:57He's like,
00:23:58every day,
00:23:58I'm like,
00:23:58well, that might be a little bit too much for me.
00:24:00I don't know if I can take that every day,
00:24:02but, uh,
00:24:03maybe...
00:24:11Sitting there listening 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.
00:24:27I want to get out of this friendship place
00:24:30where he's at.
00:24:32So, um...
00:24:33Because I'm...
00:24:33We all know that I'm 10 steps ahead.
00:24:37Relationships are two-way streets.
00:24:39It's not only about
00:24:40what one person thinks is good for them.
00:24:44And this is really for 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 to bring up.
00:24:57Rebecca!
00:24:59What's going on?
00:25:27What's going on?
00:25:32Sorry.
00:25:32Why does it make you react emotionally?
00:25:35I'm sorry already, Jesus.
00:25:36Don't...
00:25:37It's all right.
00:25:38I would like to stop and 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 speed
00:25:51they 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 the other night
00:26:00he's controlling the pace
00:26:01and that there needs to be a space for you also
00:26:05to have a voice in that pace.
00:26:08And it's a fine balance to find
00:26:11because you don't want to lose yourself
00:26:13in the process of respecting your partner.
00:26:18It's been eight years for me
00:26:20that I've been single
00:26:20so I'm craving more affection.
00:26:24Everyone wants to feel desired
00:26:27and right now, Steve is not giving it to me.
00:26:31I don't know.
00:26:32I don't know what's going on there.
00:26:34Please may I say something?
00:26:36I think that you are needing something
00:26:40in the relationship that you are not getting
00:26:42but you're more worried about Steve
00:26:45than you are about your needs.
00:26:48My sense was that you don't want to scare him off.
00:26:52Yeah.
00:26:53There's a part of you that says,
00:26:54oh, he feels like it's a lot
00:26:56so let me just shrink in a little bit
00:26:59so he doesn't feel pressure.
00:27:01Yeah.
00:27:03Your courage needs to come
00:27:05in terms of allowing yourself
00:27:07to remain yourself in this equation.
00:27:12I'm feeling like I'm going into my past habits
00:27:17of doubting my self-worth
00:27:18and then being so fearful of rejection,
00:27:20like so fearful of being rejected.
00:27:23I feel like I have been shrinking with Steve.
00:27:26He reassures me.
00:27:27I can meet him
00:27:28but he needs to meet me half one.
00:27:29Yeah, yeah.
00:27:30You can't be the one doing all that.
00:27:31It upsets me about Rebecca
00:27:32because when I met her at the Hens
00:27:34she was so energetic
00:27:36and so loud
00:27:37and full on
00:27:37and like comfortable in her skin
00:27:39and I'm not seeing that with Rebecca anymore
00:27:41and I think Steve is making Rebecca
00:27:43doubt herself a little bit
00:27:44which is crazy
00:27:45because she is such a hot mum
00:27:47like she's a bad bitch
00:27:49she is a firecracker.
00:27:53Miss Julia!
00:27:54Hello!
00:27:56How are you?
00:27:58I feel very vulnerable
00:28:00sharing
00:28:01where I'm at 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 take me
00:28:25a step back
00:28:27a lot of emotional
00:28:30safety
00:28:30trust
00:28:32was sort of broken
00:28:33in that moment for me.
00:28:35In terms of repairing
00:28:36because you've been derailed
00:28:38what do you need
00:28:40to repair
00:28:41and to then reassess
00:28:43and regroup
00:28:44and refocus?
00:28:45Of course I want to be attracted
00:28:46to my partner
00:28:47and I am very attracted
00:28:48to Grayson
00:28:49he's a sexy boy
00:28:51and that's what makes
00:28:52this very nuanced.
00:28:56I want to be authentic
00:28:58in this.
00:28:59I want to be authentic
00:29:00with Grayson.
00:29:05I'm wanting to honour
00:29:06and respect myself
00:29:08and also lean in.
00:29:11I was like
00:29:12what is she talking about?
00:29:15And I want to continue
00:29:16the emotional depth
00:29:18and expanding
00:29:19the natural
00:29:20organic
00:29:21free flowing energy
00:29:22that I probably need
00:29:24to romantically connect.
00:29:30Okay.
00:29:32And Rachel
00:29:32I haven't forgotten
00:29:34about you Queen.
00:29:35Go girl.
00:29:37What's been going on?
00:29:41Right now
00:29:42any kissing
00:29:43it's very much
00:29:43like a peck
00:29:44since the wedding.
00:29:46We've only had
00:29:47two goodnight kisses
00:29:49and
00:29:50are they goodnight
00:29:51pecks
00:29:52or a goodnight kisses?
00:29:54It's very just like
00:29:56that's it.
00:29:58Oh.
00:29:59So this week
00:30:00really has come
00:30:01on a timely thing
00:30:01because I've said to him
00:30:02I really need you
00:30:03to lean into this
00:30:04because I've come here
00:30:06for a romantic connection.
00:30:08I'm really feeling
00:30:09this with Steve.
00:30:09I want more.
00:30:10I am like
00:30:11physically attracted
00:30:12to my husband.
00:30:13I'm hoping
00:30:14for some progression
00:30:16because if there's not
00:30:17it is starting
00:30:18to feel like rejection.
00:30:20I can understand
00:30:21why Rachel is feeling
00:30:22the way that she's
00:30:23feeling today.
00:30:24I'm really hoping
00:30:25that there is a full
00:30:26360 turnaround
00:30:27for Rachel.
00:30:27She is such a queen.
00:30:29She's bubbly.
00:30:30She's beautiful.
00:30:30She's confident.
00:30:31She deserves the best
00:30:33and yeah
00:30:34I hope that Stephen
00:30:35can let her in.
00:30:37I understand
00:30:38so burn
00:30:39but like
00:30:39just a kiss
00:30:40just kiss me
00:30:41like a proper power.
00:30:42Actions speak
00:30:43louder than words.
00:30:44You want to see
00:30:44the action
00:30:45and the action
00:30:46will then let you know
00:30:47oh he's actually
00:30:48showing me.
00:30:49Yeah.
00:30:50For me
00:30:50if at the end
00:30:51of this week
00:30:52I can get a proper
00:30:53kiss from my husband
00:30:54I'm like
00:30:55tick tick.

00:30:57in the right direction.

00:32:52Do you want to get a whip?
00:32:55Want to whip him a bit?
00:32:56Oh my god yes.
00:32:58I don't want an
00:33:00every colour play stick.
00:33:08As intimacy week continues
00:33:10Rachel.
00:33:11Hey.
00:33:12Is hoping Alessandra's task
00:33:14might help her address
00:33:15the lack of intimacy
00:33:17in her relationship
00:33:18with Stephen.
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 mean
00:33:31by fantasies like?
00:33:33So it's an intimate
00:33:35fantasy
00:33:36that I will be sharing
00:33:37with you.
00:33:39Yeah.
00:33:40OK.
00:33:40No 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 passion.
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.
00:34:23OK.
00:34:24No worries.
00:34:24See 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

00:34:36placards up.

00:34:37kind of welcoming
00:34:38Stephen
00:34:38to my fantasy.
00:34:41asking some
00:34:42really direct
00:34:43questions too.
00:34:46Get him to really
00:34:47actually open up

00:35:00And
00:35:02that's what

00:39:48The way I stand
00:39:49in the relationship
00:39:50right now,
00:39:52we feel like
00:39:53roommates and I
00:39:53feel like it is
00:39:54friendly.
00:39:56For me to kiss
00:39:57you and make you
00:39:58feel something,
00:39:59I need to feel
00:39:59that romantic
00:40:00connection.
00:40:02And unfortunately,
00:40:03I haven't felt that
00:40:04romantic connection
00:40:05as of yet.
00:40:09This is really hard
00:40:10for me to be saying
00:40:11this right now.
00:40:13for me to get
00:40:14intimate and
00:40:15to get that
00:40:16passion,
00:40:16I need that
00:40:17spark.
00:40:19I need that
00:40:20romantic connection.
00:40:21I need that
00:40:22flirtiness.
00:40:23I need all of
00:40:24those dots to be
00:40:25connected.
00:40:27For me to feel
00:40:28comfortable and to
00:40:29give you the
00:40:30passion that you
00:40:31want, that you
00:40:32need to feel in
00:40:33the kiss.
00:40:35I like you,
00:40:36Stephen.
00:40:37I'm physically
00:40:38attracted to you.
00:40:39I'm having lucid
00:40:40dreams about you
00:40:41finally grabbing me
00:40:42and kissing me
00:40:43and it makes me
00:40:44excited.
00:40:46And to sit here
00:40:47and say you feel
00:40:47no spark for me,
00:40:50nothing,
00:40:51what a slap
00:40:52in the face.
00:40:58I need to know
00:41:00why are you here?
00:41:02Because you're
00:41:03holding so much
00:41:04back from me.
00:41:06It's all on your
00:41:07time schedule.
00:41:09Everything is on
00:41:10your time schedule
00:41:11currently.
00:41:14And all I asked
00:41:15was a kiss.
00:41:16A kiss that makes
00:41:18me feel something.
00:41:19More than a peck
00:41:20than you would
00:41:20give 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
00:41:28just...
00:41:29That's it.
00:41:30And...
00:41:31I didn't want
00:41:32to kiss you
00:41:32and it to feel
00:41:34empty either,
00:41:35Rachel.
00:41:36Yeah.
00:41:37I wanted to...
00:41:38I want to kiss you
00:41:39with passion.
00:41:40I actually don't
00:41:41think you want
00:41:41to kiss me at all,
00:41:42Stephen.
00:41:43And I think
00:41:44you actually
00:41:45don't want to
00:41:46tell me directly
00:41:47that you're not
00:41:48into me,
00:41:49that you're not
00:41:50physically attracted
00:41:51to me.
00:41:53direct question.
00:41:55Do you have
00:41:55any physical
00:41:57attraction to
00:41:58me at all?
00:42:02It's a yes
00:42:02or no question,
00:42:03Stephen.
00:42:04I don't want
00:42:05to dance around.
00:42:06I don't want you
00:42:07to dance around
00:42:07politically and
00:42:08give me a
00:42:08politically correct
00:42:09answer.
00:42:10Yes or no?
00:42:11Are you physically
00:42:13attracted to me?
00:42:14Trust me,
00:42:15I can handle it.
00:42:17There's more to it
00:42:18than a yes or no
00:42:18answer.
00:42:19But it is,
00:42:20there isn't.
00:42:21There is,
00:42:22Rachel,
00:42:23there is.
00:42:24I'm a romantic
00:42:26and passionate
00:42:26person.
00:42:28That's the way
00:42:29I am.
00:42:30And I'm proud
00:42:30of it to be like
00:42:31that.
00:42:31Well, where is it?
00:42:32Where's the romance
00:42:33and passion that
00:42:33you're speaking of?
00:42:36I need to feel
00:42:37the passion,
00:42:37the spark.
00:42:38I haven't felt
00:42:39that spark yet,
00:42:40Rachel.
00:42:40So I just keep
00:42:41doing this and
00:42:42wait for you to
00:42:43feel a spark?
00:42:49Yeah,
00:42:50sweet.
00:42:55Cool.
00:42:57Um,
00:43:00yeah,
00:43:00I think we need
00:43:01some space right
00:43:01now.
00:43:02I'm feeling really,
00:43:03really rejected
00:43:04over a kiss.
00:43:06Um,
00:43:07and sitting here
00:43:08having you say to me
00:43:09that you've not
00:43:10viewed me romantically
00:43:11at all
00:43:13when
00:43:16I was exactly
00:43:17right.
00:43:19I'm out on the
00:43:19ledge,
00:43:20I'm by myself.
00:43:22Just boot me off
00:43:23at this point.

00:44:37Don't lie,
00:44:37my jaw dropped
00:44:38to the floor
00:44:39and you needed
00:44:40literally a vacuum
00:44:42cleaner to
00:44:42suck up all the pieces.
00:44:44It shattered.
00:44:45Oh my God.

00:44:56Alright, well.
00:44:56Right here in front of me.
00:44:58Well,
00:44:58there's a lot of sexual tension
00:45:00and a lot of chemistry
00:45:01and a lot of chemistry
00:45:02with David
00:45:02and I...
00:45:04I'm trying to collect
00:45:05my thoughts.
00:45:05If people want to call it
00:45:06a fact,
00:45:07that's okay,
00:45:07but I'm having a great time
00:45:09with my husband.
00:45:10Like,
00:45:10we are,
00:45:11we are
00:45:12really vibing.
00:45:15As Alyssa and David
00:45:16prepare for dessert...
00:45:18Let's get this
00:45:18fucking massage going.
00:45:22Gia is preparing
00:45:23for her own fantasy night
00:45:25with husband Scott.
00:45:28Dressed as a bunny tonight
00:45:30for my husband.
00:45:33He'll like anything
00:45:34with me half naked.
00:45:35Could be wearing a bloody towel
00:45:36and he'll be happy.
00:45:38It is
00:45:39Ultimate Fantasy Night.
00:45:41Oh, my nipples are nearly out
00:45:42and let me cover that up.
00:45:44Scott should be prepared.
00:45:45I'm going to kind of
00:45:45tell him what to do tonight
00:45:47and make him kind of
00:45:48wait on my hand and foot.
00:45:50Usually Scott likes to be
00:45:51in control at all times.
00:45:52He's a control freak.
00:45:53But really,
00:45:54it's not his night,
00:45:54is it?
00:45:55It's mine.
00:45:55So,
00:45:56he's going to have
00:45:56to get used to it.
00:45:57Is this not PG enough
00:45:59for Channel 9?
00:46:03Hello?
00:46:05Hi, handsome.
00:46:06Holy shit.
00:46:08Wow.
00:46:09Um,

00:46:12What's she?
00:46:15It's quite different.
00:46:17So, you're going to do
00:46:17whatever the hell I say tonight.
00:46:19Is that alright?
00:46:19I might like that.
00:46:21Is that alright with you?
00:46:22Yeah.
00:46:22Okay.
00:46:23I need to take all your clothes off
00:46:24and just be in your jocks, please.
00:46:27Yeah.
00:46:27I'm a bit of a control freak.
00:46:29Take all your clothes off.
00:46:30Uh,
00:46:31and
00:46:31apparently I've got to be
00:46:32told what to do.
00:46:34But, you know,
00:46:35I kind of like it.
00:46:36Hi.
00:46:39Scott was very pleased
00:46:40with tonight.
00:46:41I was very pleased as well.
00:46:44Do it on the other side.
00:46:45I'm really happy.
00:46:47I think I need more oil.
00:46:49It's definitely got us in the mood.
00:46:50I'm ready to get you guys
00:46:51the hell out
00:46:52so I can take care of my man tonight
00:46:53and he can take care of me.
00:46:55But as Gia continues
00:46:57a passionate night in with Scott...
00:46:59Come on.
00:46:59Hurry up.
00:47:01...one bride is taking fantasy night
00:47:03to a whole new level.
00:47:09At school,
00:47:10were you bullied?
00:47:14Wowza.
00:47:16Um, sorry,
00:47:17say that again.
00:47:18What I've brought to the table
00:47:19for Intimacy Week
00:47:20is a bit of a list
00:47:21of questions
00:47:22and connecting with someone
00:47:24in this way
00:47:25is really sacred to me.
00:47:27What's the most healing experience
00:47:28you've had in
00:47:30friendship?
00:47:37How does that mean?
00:47:38How do you mean by that?
00:47:39Sorry.
00:47:40Since we kind of
00:47:41had our little argument,
00:47:42I feel like this is a way
00:47:44to reset, reconnect
00:47:45and build intimacy.
00:47:48Has a stranger
00:47:49ever changed your life?
00:47:51Um.
00:47:54Um.
00:47:55Julia's ultimate fantasy
00:47:57fire.
00:48:01It's, um,
00:48:02it's interesting.
00:48:04Um.
00:48:06I...
00:48:07Obviously,
00:48:08everyone's got their own
00:48:10definition of what
00:48:11an ultimate fantasy is.
00:48:15Mmm.
00:48:17Put your mouth over it.
00:48:19That's hot.
00:48:20What do you think
00:48:22my superpower is?
00:48:24Like, can you fly or something?
00:48:27For Jules,
00:48:28it's a questionnaire.
00:48:29Is it mine?
00:48:31No.
00:48:33Okay.
00:48:33Obviously,
00:48:34this is intimacy week.
00:48:35Let's change the pace
00:48:36a little bit.
00:48:38Um.
00:48:40What's the greatest moment
00:48:41you've had
00:48:42on the footy field?
00:48:45Look,
00:48:46to be honest,
00:48:47I'm disappointed.
00:48:48What about me
00:48:49is most strange
00:48:50or unfamiliar to you?
00:48:53We had a chance
00:48:54to build chemistry
00:48:56and romance,
00:48:56but this isn't
00:48:58building intimacy for me.
00:48:59We've got a lot more here.
00:49:01What's the most
00:49:02insightful thing
00:49:02you've learned
00:49:03from the personal
00:49:04development and therapy
00:49:05that you've done?
00:49:07There is questions
00:49:09you can ask
00:49:09to build intimacy,
00:49:10absolutely,
00:49:11but the ones
00:49:11that I copped today
00:49:12weren't.
00:49:13what's your favourite quality
00:49:15about your ex?
00:49:18I have no idea
00:49:20what she's thinking.
00:49:23I feel like I'm having
00:49:24a mindgasm.
00:49:26Like an orgasm,
00:49:27but in the mind.
00:49:31we're definitely
00:49:31building something.
00:49:32Hmm.
00:49:35Having like
00:49:36those mindgasms
00:49:37through conversation,
00:49:39that in itself
00:49:40is really beautiful,
00:49:41really sacred.
00:49:43Why do you think
00:49:44we met?
00:49:45Um,
00:49:46why do I think
00:49:47we met?
00:49:47That's a bit
00:49:48of a hard one.
00:49:49My ultimate fantasy night
00:49:51was kind of perfect
00:49:52to be honest.
00:49:53I'm having
00:49:54such a good time.
00:49:55Hmm.
00:49:56Yeah.
00:49:57Still to come,
00:49:58will Steve
00:49:59give Rebecca
00:50:00her ultimate fantasy?
00:50:02If you wanted me
00:50:03to put it on.
00:50:04Um,
00:50:05yeah,
00:50:06I mean.
00:50:07Beck's intimacy task
00:50:08reveals a different
00:50:09side to Danny.
00:50:10To be honest,
00:50:11I'm actually going
00:50:12to be really honest now.
00:50:13It made me feel
00:50:14a bit emotional.
00:50:16And,
00:50:17in search of clarity,
00:50:19Grayson asks
00:50:20the hard questions.
00:50:22Can you see
00:50:24any kind of future
00:50:25with me?
00:50:28Um.
00:50:35As intimacy week
00:50:36continues,
00:50:39Mel and Luke's
00:50:40fantasy night task
00:50:41is proving successful
00:50:43after their shaky
00:50:45start to the experiment.
00:50:48I'll pay that.
00:50:50Good shot.
00:50:51Wow.
00:50:52I chose to do
00:50:53something fun
00:50:53for Luke and I.
00:50:55So, yeah,
00:50:55we're here at
00:50:56Meagolf.
00:51:00Sorry.
00:51:01I thought you missed it.
00:51:03Luke and I,
00:51:04we're getting along
00:51:05really well.
00:51:06Mona Luca,
00:51:07here he is.
00:51:11We've been laughing,
00:51:12having banter,
00:51:13which is huge for us.
00:51:15It's a baby stabs,
00:51:16but I do feel like
00:51:17we're moving forward.
00:51:18Cheers.
00:51:21While Mel and Luke
00:51:22finally seem to be
00:51:23hitting it off...
00:51:25Paintbrushes down.
00:51:27Back at the apartments,
00:51:29a romantically cautious
00:51:30Brooke's artistic choices
00:51:32have caught Chris
00:51:33by surprise.
00:51:35Ta-da!
00:51:37That's your dog
00:51:38that died.
00:51:44And then
00:51:46footy ball,
00:51:47obviously.
00:51:48Green shirt.
00:51:51Yeah.
00:51:54I think I've done
00:51:55a pretty good job.
00:52:00I'm just not sure
00:52:01about a dead top.
00:52:03Show me yours.
00:52:08Oh, that sock...
00:52:09What the helly?
00:52:10That's so good.
00:52:12Oh, my God,
00:52:13you've made it so cute.
00:52:16You remember the date.
00:52:17Yeah.
00:52:18Oh, bless your cotton socks.
00:52:28Down the hall,
00:52:29Bec is keen to get started
00:52:31on a painting activity
00:52:33of her own
00:52:33with husband Danny.
00:52:37For the ultimate fantasy night,
00:52:39I'm going to blindfold Danny
00:52:41and I'm going to write
00:52:42on him in paint
00:52:43words that reflect
00:52:45how I feel about him.
00:52:47And then he is going
00:52:48to do the same thing for me.
00:52:50Intimacy, for me at least,
00:52:52is about that connection
00:52:53and, like, going deeper
00:52:55within your soul.
00:52:56That is something
00:52:57that Danny struggles with.
00:52:59Danny uses humour
00:53:01to mask him
00:53:03having to get
00:53:04too deep with things.
00:53:06I just hope he's
00:53:07going to be
00:53:07taking this seriously.
00:53:09I want to see
00:53:10my husband
00:53:11being vulnerable
00:53:11and really talking
00:53:13about his feelings.
00:53:17This task
00:53:18is going to really
00:53:19connect us.
00:53:20Are you ready?
00:53:22Yeah, come on.
00:53:23Don't be scared, doll.
00:53:30Oh, look at this.
00:53:33What the
00:53:33is going on there?
00:53:38Are you ready?
00:53:43This is so weird.
00:53:46Oh.
00:53:49Oh.
00:53:50What's going on here?
00:53:52Are you painting
00:53:53on me right now?
00:53:54Mm-hmm.
00:53:55And what are you painting?
00:53:57I'm painting
00:53:58on you
00:53:59words
00:54:00that
00:54:01when I think
00:54:02about you
00:54:02and our relationship
00:54:06come to mind.
00:54:10You okay, babe?
00:54:12It's actually
00:54:13quite relaxing.
00:54:16Feels good.
00:54:18I like it.
00:54:19Yeah?
00:54:20Do you?
00:54:21Mm-hmm.
00:54:23To be honest,
00:54:24putting the blindfold on,
00:54:25I didn't really
00:54:26want to do it.
00:54:27I didn't want to do it.
00:54:29But as soon as
00:54:29it was on,
00:54:30like,
00:54:32you forget
00:54:34where you are,
00:54:35what's going on.
00:54:36You're just
00:54:36in that moment.
00:54:39I felt at peace.
00:54:41Okay,
00:54:41you ready?
00:54:45So,
00:54:45put
00:54:47trust,
00:54:50adore,
00:54:51hopeful,
00:54:53handsome.
00:54:54That's so cute.
00:54:56Work
00:54:58and loyalty.
00:55:01To be honest,
00:55:02I'm going to,
00:55:02I'm actually going to
00:55:03be really honest now.
00:55:04It made me feel
00:55:05a bit emotional.
00:55:07It made me,
00:55:08I don't know why.
00:55:10You've got to
00:55:10paint me now, babe.
00:55:12Let's get in the mood.
00:55:13You got it?
00:55:15I'm not that good
00:55:16at putting it into words,
00:55:17but just, like,
00:55:18the intimacy of it
00:55:19was a beautiful experience.
00:55:22And I felt like
00:55:23she'd put so much
00:55:24trust in me.
00:55:26Do you need some wine?
00:55:27Yeah.
00:55:28Come here, sweetheart.
00:55:32in that moment,
00:55:33I realised
00:55:33how much
00:55:34I care about it.
00:55:36It just,
00:55:36I don't,
00:55:37I feel a bit emotional.
00:55:38It's weird.
00:55:39I don't,
00:55:40man,
00:55:41get this camera
00:55:41out of my face.
00:55:44It's weird.
00:55:45I don't even know why.
00:55:46I just feel,
00:55:47I feel
00:55:47a bit choked up.
00:55:51I've had a lot
00:55:52of emotions
00:55:53shut off
00:55:54in my adolescent years,
00:55:56do you know
00:55:56what I mean?
00:55:57And some of these emotions
00:55:58are coming back
00:56:00up to the surface
00:56:01and there's things
00:56:01I haven't felt
00:56:02in years.
00:56:03Like,
00:56:04I feel like
00:56:05a bit of a
00:56:05schoolboy.
00:56:10So what I've written
00:56:11is this.
00:56:13Adore,
00:56:14because that's
00:56:15our song.
00:56:16Yeah.
00:56:17Lovers,
00:56:18trust.
00:56:19Yeah.
00:56:19You put trust
00:56:20as well,
00:56:20didn't you?
00:56:21Back of your legs
00:56:22says forever.
00:56:23Sexy.
00:56:24Oh,
00:56:25thanks.
00:56:25Because you look sexy.
00:56:28Honestly,
00:56:29that felt
00:56:31really intimate.
00:56:32How do you feel
00:56:32about the words
00:56:33I wrote?
00:56:34I think they're amazing.
00:56:35I didn't have time
00:56:35to think about them.
00:56:36No, of course not.
00:56:37But, like,
00:56:38I liked what I wrote.
00:56:39I love what you wrote.
00:56:41Honestly,
00:56:41hearing him write
00:56:42that he wrote
00:56:43forever
00:56:44on my leg
00:56:47was really
00:56:48pretty euphoric.
00:56:50He did not
00:56:51have to write
00:56:51that on my leg,
00:56:52which makes me
00:56:54really think
00:56:55that, like,
00:56:56he's really serious
00:56:57about this.
00:56:58That's so cute.
00:56:59Right now,
00:57:02I have
00:57:03the biggest crush
00:57:04on my husband.
00:57:05I adore him.
00:57:07I adore him.
00:57:08If this continues
00:57:09on the trajectory
00:57:10that it is now,
00:57:12then, yeah,
00:57:12I can see myself
00:57:13falling in love
00:57:14with him.
00:57:15Favourite word
00:57:16would probably
00:57:16be loyalty
00:57:17because without
00:57:17that,
00:57:18we have nothing.
00:57:20That would be
00:57:21my favourite word.
00:57:22Every day,
00:57:24like,
00:57:24I see a different
00:57:25part of her
00:57:26or feel a different
00:57:27kind of way about her.
00:57:28It's just,
00:57:28it's something
00:57:29I've never experienced
00:57:29before.
00:57:31Cheers, honey.
00:57:32Cheers.
00:57:34Here's to paint
00:57:35on each other.
00:57:38Down the hall,
00:57:40Rebecca has returned
00:57:41from the adult store.
00:57:43Honey,
00:57:43I'm home.
00:57:44Oh.
00:57:45With high hopes
00:57:46for her evening
00:57:47with husband,
00:57:48Steve.
00:57:49So my fantasy
00:57:50tonight's Steve,
00:57:51I'm just going to
00:57:51basically go in
00:57:52and just show him
00:57:53a little piece
00:57:54that I'd like to
00:57:54put myself in for him
00:57:55and stroll around
00:57:56the room.
00:57:57I'm hoping he'll go,
00:57:58OK,
00:57:59penny's dropped,
00:57:59now I'm getting it
00:58:00and, yeah,
00:58:02steps it up a bit.
00:58:03A glass of wine?
00:58:04I would love
00:58:05a glass of wine, yeah.
00:58:06I don't know
00:58:07what his reaction
00:58:07is 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
00:58:15Daddy Steve
00:58:15is as wet and innocent
00:58:17as he makes out to be.
00:58:18He might just
00:58:18come around
00:58:20to a bit of a...
00:58:23I must admit
00:58:23I'm very curious
00:58:24about your day.
00:58:26I had the best
00:58:26time of my life,
00:58:27so we went shopping
00:58:28and we had to basically
00:58:29pick out costumes
00:58:30that we would
00:58:31potentially wear.
00:58:32And basically,
00:58:33I 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
00:58:39like mad women.
00:58:39Like mum's got a wild.
00:58:41She'd be like,
00:58:41I could have bought
00:58:42the whole shop.
00:58:44That's a concern.
00:58:47So, yeah.
00:58:48Do you pick this out
00:58:49for me because she's
00:58:50like you're a working...
00:58:52Can I have a look?
00:58:52What is it?
00:58:52She's like you're
00:58:53a boss bitch.
00:58:56Yeah.
00:58:57You know, it's...
00:58:59These things
00:58:59that I picked,
00:59:00just so you know,
00:59:01are like
00:59:03the most covered up.
00:59:05Yeah, fine.
00:59:06Yeah, that's a good one.
00:59:08If you wanted me
00:59:08to put it on,
00:59:09um,
00:59:11yeah, I mean,
00:59:13look,
00:59:13I'd rather not
00:59:15because it's not
00:59:15something 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.
00:59:23He didn't want to do the task.
00:59:24He didn't even want to try.
00:59:26Do you like lingerie?
00:59:27When I think lingerie,
00:59:28I don't think sex shop.
00:59:30I want to feel desired.
00:59:31I want to feel sexy, Rebecca.
00:59:33I'm not getting any of this.
00:59:34Yeah.
00:59:34All right.
00:59:36This is on fast forward.
00:59:38We know what this is all about,
00:59:40but intimacy comes in
00:59:42many shapes and forms
00:59:43and it doesn't have to be,
00:59:45um,
00:59:46like this,
00:59:47uh,
00:59:47immediately.
00:59:49Rebecca is a wonderful person.
00:59:51Strong,
00:59:51independent,
00:59:52she's confident.
00:59:53But if I'm being completely honest,
00:59:55I find Rebecca and I are a little bit different.
00:59:59Rebecca's a little bit full on.
01:00:02It's not about me stalling us
01:00:04and going,
01:00:04hey,
01:00:05we're doing my speed.
01:00:06It's about us finding 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.
01:00:16You have to adjust.
01:00:17I have to adjust.
01:00:18He doesn't want to try.
01:00:20Just all lip service.
01:00:21And we have to meet halfway.
01:00:24Like,
01:00:24I feel like I'm going crazy.
01:00:25I feel like we're on completely different pages.
01:00:28We are happy.
01:00:29We're good.
01:00:29And right now,
01:00:31I'm starting to doubt the relationship.
01:00:33Like,
01:00:33I don't know whether Steve's intimate.
01:00:35I do appreciate all this.
01:00:36I really do.
01:00:37Yeah.
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 licence
01:00:59with her fantasy.
01:01:01Right,
01:01:01so you know how it's my fantasy day?
01:01:04Yes.
01:01:04I actually feel like
01:01:05you should be taking your clothes off as well.
01:01:12At least you went to the gym today for a pump.
01:01:16All right,
01:01:16you know what?
01:01:17All right.
01:01:18I think every woman will agree with me.
01:01:22Multitasking men are quite sexy.
01:01:24So tonight,
01:01:25I made him do all of these little tasks.
01:01:27How about we do those push-ups?
01:01:29Let's do 70.
01:01:31I'm going to stop at 69.
01:01:35I'm going to stop at 69.
01:01:36I am enjoying taking the reins tonight.
01:01:37It's great because
01:01:39it just like goes with the flow,
01:01:41you know?
01:01:41It's what I like about Philip.
01:01:43Oh,
01:01:44here 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,
01:01:54for natural reasons.
01:01:57I was trying to concentrate
01:01:58and trying to draw
01:01:59but my eyes would go everywhere.
01:02:02She was just sitting in a certain way,
01:02:04looking rather inviting.
01:02:06Thankfully,
01:02:06I was sitting down
01:02:07because, you know,
01:02:08I've got tight jocks on.
01:02:10Before I do the unveiling,
01:02:11I want you to know
01:02:13that in this case,
01:02:13I tried, all right?
01:02:15All right,
01:02:16so this is what I go on.
01:02:21This is me.
01:02:27Lucaso was definitely
01:02:28on a Phil Semi.
01:02:31I just,
01:02:32I had to emphasise 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.
01:02:44What's wrong with her?
01:02:45Look at her.
01:02:47There's definitely nothing wrong with her.
01:02:48She's great.
01:02:52While Fantasy Night
01:02:53draws 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,
01:03:05Grayson is eager to raise his concerns
01:03:07about the state of their relationship.
01:03:10I'm genuinely into Julia,
01:03:13but that conversation felt like
01:03:16I was entrenching myself
01:03:17more in the friend zone.
01:03:18It's intimacy week.
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 leaning in.
01:03:27That's not leaning in to me,
01:03:28asking me a series of questions
01:03:29about my football memories.
01:03:32If that's intimacy to you,
01:03:34I mean,
01:03:34we're on a completely different planet.
01:03:42I wanted to sort of have a conversation
01:03:44with you around
01:03:47how I'm feeling
01:03:48and how we're feeling
01:03:49and where we're at.
01:03:50Sure.
01:03:51But I'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
01:03:59your ultimate fantasy
01:04:03of intimacy,
01:04:05but for me,
01:04:07mine's like so different.
01:04:12By asking me questions like,
01:04:14what's my fondest memory
01:04:15on the football field
01:04:16or what was the best trade
01:04:19of my ex-girlfriend,
01:04:20does that literally
01:04:21build intimacy for you?
01:04:23It's getting to know you.
01:04:24These are things
01:04:25that I don't know about you
01:04:26and I wanted to
01:04:27get to know you more.
01:04:32Again,
01:04:33I 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
01:04:37some dance energy around us.
01:04:39For me,
01:04:40I think intimacy
01:04:41is more around
01:04:43the chemistry,
01:04:44romance side.
01:04:46Those questions,
01:04:47like is that your ultimate fantasy
01:04:48of like,
01:04:50your ultimate fantasy?
01:04:51That's where we are at right now.
01:04:54Um,
01:04:55no,
01:04:55I think that that's
01:04:56where you're at.
01:04:58This chat was just
01:04:59definitely not
01:05:00what 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.
01:05:14I want to be creating
01:05:15that emotional safety,
01:05:17you 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
01:05:28like leaning in
01:05:29and getting curious
01:05:30and there's zero of it.
01:05:32I just can't seem
01:05:33to get any sort of
01:05:34solid clarity
01:05:35out of any 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 invested in it.
01:05:43I want to build a connection.
01:05:46But at this point
01:05:48of our relationship,
01:05:50I'm really confused
01:05:51about how you actually
01:05:53feel about me.
01:05:55Can I ask you
01:05:56this question?
01:05:57Yeah.
01:05:57Can you see
01:06:00any kind of future
01:06:01with me?
01:06:05Um.
01:06:16I'm really confused
01:06:17about how you
01:06:18actually feel about me.
01:06:21Can I ask you
01:06:22this question?
01:06:24Do you,
01:06:24can you see
01:06:26any kind
01:06:27of future
01:06:28with me?
01:06:30Um.
01:06:33That depth
01:06:34of connection
01:06:35needs to happen
01:06:36before anything.
01:06:38I've asked you,
01:06:39I just wanted you
01:06:39to answer this question
01:06:40for me.
01:06:40It's really simple.
01:06:42Well, I'm just trying to.
01:06:42Can you see an emotional
01:06:44connection building
01:06:45for us in the future?
01:06:48If,
01:06:49if we're able
01:06:50to communicate
01:06:51and there's emotional
01:06:52safety
01:06:53in terms of my needs,
01:06:54that's the path.
01:06:58I've asked
01:06:59her blatant
01:07:00questions.
01:07:02I get this
01:07:03long-winded answer.
01:07:05We need to just
01:07:06continue creating
01:07:07safe spaces
01:07:08to really talk
01:07:09about what's
01:07:10really under the surface.
01:07:11Just tell me
01:07:12if you like me
01:07:12or not.
01:07:13You know,
01:07:14leaning in
01:07:14and really reading
01:07:16the energy
01:07:16of the other person.
01:07:18Jules,
01:07:18can you answer
01:07:19this question for me?
01:07:20I feel like
01:07:21we're in court
01:07:22or something
01:07:22and you're
01:07:23firing these
01:07:24questions at me
01:07:24and it just
01:07:25doesn't feel
01:07:26peaceful.
01:07:27So you don't
01:07:28like answering
01:07:29questions,
01:07:29do you?
01:07:29Yes, I do.
01:07:30It's the way
01:07:30it's your tone.
01:07:31Use all this
01:07:32language that I
01:07:33don't understand.
01:07:35Use language like
01:07:36lean in
01:07:37and get curious.
01:07:40Curiosity
01:07:41is not
01:07:43asking me
01:07:44questions about
01:07:45what my favourite
01:07:46football...
01:07:47Like, that is
01:07:48not intimacy.
01:07:50Obviously,
01:07:51you're not happy
01:07:51with what I've...
01:07:52Absolutely not.
01:07:53OK, well,
01:07:54this is a problem
01:07:56then because...
01:07:56Jules, I feel
01:07:57at this point
01:07:57that I'm wasting
01:07:58my time.
01:07:59Oh, OK, yeah.
01:08:00Absolutely wasting
01:08:01my time.
01:08:02Yeah.
01:08:03I'm getting hurt.
01:08:05I'm starting
01:08:05to feel hurt.
01:08:08I've been so
01:08:09invested in this
01:08:10but I'm just,
01:08:13um...
01:08:13Yeah, I'm just
01:08:14not getting any
01:08:15sort of reciprocation.
01:08:18Jules needs to
01:08:18step up to the plate
01:08:19for this to
01:08:20progress any further.
01:08:22That's how I feel
01:08:23right now.
01:08:26Tomorrow night...
01:08:27It was huge for us.
01:08:29Mel and Luke's
01:08:30incredible transformation.
01:08:32I feel closer
01:08:33with Mel after the task
01:08:34because that physical
01:08:35gap between us
01:08:35has kind of been
01:08:36bridged a little bit.
01:08:37We have been
01:08:38progressing, like,
01:08:39in the right direction.
01:08:41I really want to
01:08:42send a clear message
01:08:42to Steven.
01:08:43Rachel draws
01:08:44her line in the sand.
01:08:48Taking this.
01:08:50A tense
01:08:51boys' workshop.
01:08:52I feel like
01:08:53you're skirting
01:08:54around my questions.
01:08:55I disagree with you.
01:08:56I don't have
01:08:56an earpiece in my ear.
01:08:57I'm not waiting
01:08:58for someone
01:08:58to tell me
01:08:58what to say.
01:09:01Alessandra calls out
01:09:02Steve's behavior.
01:09:03The lack of respect
01:09:04that you're showing me
01:09:05is appalling.
01:09:06Really tread lightly.
01:09:08I don't take to this
01:09:09well.
01:09:09And in a shock
01:09:10turn of events,
01:09:12one bride
01:09:13calls it quits
01:09:15and makes
01:09:15a dramatic exit.
01:09:17is 뿅.
01:09:28We'll see you next time.
