00:00:04When Australia's biggest social experiment returned
00:00:07You got me good. Will you marry me?
00:00:12Hopeful singles from across the nation began writing a new chapter of their love stories.
00:00:20I can't believe how happy I am. I have a really good feeling about him.
00:00:25Honestly, I couldn't make the experts enough. This is what I'm looking for.
00:00:28But for Mel...
00:00:30That's my husband.
00:00:31Have you got the reads?
00:00:33No.
00:00:34A late groom dampened her dream of a fairytale start.
00:00:38He was chewing gum sort of with his mouth open.
00:00:41Doesn't feel like the fairytale picture for myself.
00:00:46Breathtaking honeymoons.
00:00:47There's definitely sexual tension for sure.
00:00:50I'm literally having the best time of all with Alyssa.
00:00:52Fast-tracked connections for some.
00:00:55I think he's actually the perfect match for me.
00:00:57I think you're a very beautiful person.
00:01:00Slowly, inch by inch, we're getting closer.
00:01:02While for others...
00:01:03Our honeymoon has taken a little bit of a turn.
00:01:06Sorry.
00:01:08It's just...
00:01:08It's just as hurtful.
00:01:10It turned pear-shaped really quickly.
00:01:12Confronting questions...
00:01:14Do you feel any sexual chemistry with me?
00:01:17Not too much, to be honest with you. No.
00:01:20Caused heartache for Bec and Danny.
00:01:22Kind of makes me feel...
00:01:25Ugly.
00:01:30Tonight...
00:01:31It isn't about someone's gender.
00:01:34A never-before-seen first for the experiment.
00:01:39I don't know if I'm going to be matched with a man or a woman.
00:01:43This bride takes the term leap of faith to a whole new level.
00:01:48I'm bisexual.
00:01:49That would be a deal-breaker because that's not going to change.
00:01:53And...
00:01:53I grew up in Lithuania and moved to Australia nine years ago, all by myself.
00:02:00Having uprooted her life from the other side of the globe...
00:02:03I'm craving connection.
00:02:05New bride, Stella, yearns for a deep love.
00:02:09I do believe in soulmates.
00:02:10I'm not accepting anything less.
00:02:13But what does this groom say?
00:02:16Tell her in private.
00:02:17That's, like, red flag.
00:02:19That causes chaos.
00:02:21You're irritated.
00:02:22I'm relaxed. I'm breathing.
00:02:23No, you're getting really worked up. I can feel it.
00:02:25There's nothing I wouldn't do to protect her.
00:02:27I've got my eyes on him.
00:02:38Following tens of thousands of applications from across the country,
00:02:42we're down to the final two couples to enter the experiment.
00:02:50Having spent months making their perfect matches,
00:02:55the experts are now ready to reveal the next participant.
00:03:04That is three?
00:03:08It's not a friend.
00:03:09Oh!
00:03:17To me today, um, amita already over when branca could have cleared of sun.
00:03:19What matters doing?
00:03:20I do not dare.
00:03:20What matters with you tonight?
00:03:22What matters to me today?
00:03:29I don't even know you as a nostro teacher's int champsdiviögically.
00:03:30It's all your time, while bleem on everything else!
00:03:30You all show up to me.
00:03:31What ass of you tonight?
00:03:31You get a hand.
00:03:33All you want to walk into your life,
00:03:33Your car Miguel's 커부터 is a dragon toy,
00:03:33My name is Stella. I'm 32. I'm from Sydney, New South Wales. I'm a beauty therapist.
00:03:41I grew up in Lithuania and moved to Australia nine years ago, all by myself.
00:03:48I was 23. I remember rolled out my luggage out of the airport. I sat down and I was like,
00:03:54what have I done?
00:03:57Growing up in Lithuania, my city was one of more, I guess, more dangerous places to live in.
00:04:06So I came to Australia to lay a better base for my own family when and if I have one.
00:04:17So that I can raise my children and I can give them opportunities because I didn't have that growing up.
00:04:25Do you miss them?
00:04:28Yeah, I do. Yeah, I miss them.
00:04:34What's up, dear? But I'm getting married.
00:04:39Hey!
00:04:40So what?
00:04:45You're a stranger.
00:04:48Stranger? You have to be a stranger, man.
00:04:50Yes, you're a stranger.
00:04:52You have to be a stranger, man, married at first sight.
00:04:56Uh-huh.
00:04:57Uh-huh.
00:05:00Thumbs up for this, guys.
00:05:04No, you're a cabrist.
00:05:06You have to be a cabrist.
00:05:07You have to be a cabrist.
00:05:08Buddy.
00:05:13Lithuania breeds, they're resilient people, I must say.
00:05:18My family and friends sometimes call me Feisty-Eisty.
00:05:21Well, my name is Eiste in Lithuanian because I don't take bullshit.
00:05:29Very short and direct.
00:05:31There's no fluff around.
00:05:32I'm confident in who I am.
00:05:37What's your upbringing taught you and how it's moulded you?
00:05:40I did see my grandmother raising solely three kids because my grandpa passed away when she was 47.
00:05:50She never remarried, so she raised three children.
00:05:54So I saw beautiful, strong women in my life.
00:06:00But I also saw the lack of having that masculine picture in the house.
00:06:11So I think that's where my craving is to do have a soulmate.
00:06:18I'm craving connection.
00:06:22Like, I know I'm craving connection.
00:06:23That's...
00:06:28That's me getting teary.
00:06:31Sorry.
00:06:33I told you I'm a crier.
00:06:44I'm a little emotional gangsta, okay?
00:06:51What is it you're looking for?
00:06:53Who is your ideal man?
00:06:56Kindness is the first one.
00:07:00Disciplined.
00:07:02Is into exercise.
00:07:04Beautiful values in terms of family values.
00:07:07Is into self-development, growth.
00:07:10Yeah, we're looking for, um...
00:07:13For a good man.
00:07:17I know what happily married looks like.
00:07:20I can only go from the example that I've seen from my parents.
00:07:23This year is our 40th anniversary.
00:07:2540th anniversary.
00:07:27My name is Phil.
00:07:28I'm 38, from Melbourne, and I'm a carpenter.
00:07:32I was born in Croatia.
00:07:35We came to Australia when I was one.
00:07:37And my parents left to give us a better life.
00:07:40Life over there at the time was very basic living, you know?
00:07:44And my parents thought that they could give us more.
00:07:46So I'm super grateful that they did, you know?
00:07:48Because now we're here.
00:07:50As well as being a carpenter, I work on a passion project,
00:07:53which is my online coaching.
00:07:54So I put a lot of effort into that.
00:07:56I'm going to tell you exactly why being in Bali
00:07:58is the absolute best all-around setup
00:08:01if you want to live that fit, clean, healthy lifestyle
00:08:04whilst you're doing it.
00:08:08So I do personal development coaching
00:08:10tailored to people in construction
00:08:12and just men in general.
00:08:15There's a mental health crisis
00:08:16and there's a kind of like a generation of men.
00:08:19They're not looking after their health,
00:08:21their nutrition, their lifestyle.
00:08:23And I just tackle the root of that.
00:08:25Knowing that you're making a difference, I love it.
00:08:28But in saying that two years ago,
00:08:30it was a totally different story.
00:08:32I used to be a little bit of a party boy,
00:08:35literally living for the weekend.
00:08:37And one day, I literally thought to myself,
00:08:40I'm like, well, my parents come to this country
00:08:42for me to just be an absolute piece of, you know,
00:08:44like, what are you doing?
00:08:46That was the very last time that I had a drink
00:08:48and staying fit, active lifestyle.
00:08:50I wasn't ready to get into something serious until now.
00:08:54What sort of partner do you think would be ideal for you?
00:08:57Just someone who looks after themselves,
00:09:00who likes to prioritise fitness, family,
00:09:04discipline for the most part,
00:09:06and someone that can think for themselves as well.
00:09:09I'm looking for beauty with substance.
00:09:12I definitely know that she's out there.
00:09:16How do you guys make it work?
00:09:17You need to be able to openly communicate
00:09:20issues that will arise.
00:09:21Of the day, you have to solve the problem
00:09:24before you go to bed.
00:09:26You know, understanding, empathy.
00:09:29My parents, they've got each other's back.
00:09:31They're always putting each other at the first and foremost.
00:09:33They've experienced everything
00:09:34that there is to experience together.
00:09:36That is what marriage is.
00:09:37They can have fun.
00:09:38They can have laughs.
00:09:39That's what I'm looking for.
00:09:41Yeah, I genuinely want to find the love of my life.
00:09:45Philip's parents have been married for over 40 years,
00:09:48and one of the things he really admires about them
00:09:50is the sacrifices they made for the family
00:09:52moving to Australia from Croatia.
00:09:55So if anybody's going to understand Stella
00:09:57and everything she's gone through,
00:09:59it will be Philip.
00:10:00You know, Philip wants to be the rock,
00:10:03and that's exactly what Stella needs.
00:10:05She wants a masculine man
00:10:07who she can really lean into.
00:10:10These two are both disciplined high achievers,
00:10:13and they're extremely committed
00:10:16to finding love in this experiment.
00:10:20With Stella and Philip now matched...
00:10:27..in an experiment first,
00:10:29our final bride has no idea
00:10:32whether she'll be matched with a man or a woman.
00:10:35I feel like I really am the definition
00:10:39of a bisexual person
00:10:41in the sense of that, for me,
00:10:43it's not some performative thing.
00:10:45Like, I really have fallen in love with men,
00:10:47and I really have fallen in love with women.
00:10:50And I have felt like
00:10:52that has transcended gender,
00:10:56that the connection that I have felt...
00:10:58Yes, it's a human connection,
00:11:00regardless of...
00:11:01Yeah.
00:11:02Absolutely.
00:11:05I'm Julia, I'm from Melbourne,
00:11:07and I'm a confidence and charisma consultant.
00:11:11My career started when I became a journalist.
00:11:15I moved to London.
00:11:16It was a really exciting time,
00:11:20but through a lot of my life,
00:11:22I didn't feel very comfortable in my skin.
00:11:25I really didn't have much of a sense of identity.
00:11:32And I just didn't know who I was.
00:11:35I started sort of following this thread within me
00:11:38that was like, oh, I'm attracted to women.
00:11:42I realised, like, actually, this is a part of me.
00:11:45And I had a lot of fear around that, because...
00:11:49About what?
00:11:50About potentially being bisexual.
00:11:53I just hadn't fully come to terms with that in my own mind.
00:11:58And now, I don't question myself anymore.
00:12:02I feel like, for the most part,
00:12:04like, I feel really, like, clear on who I am.
00:12:06And I genuinely feel like I'm the happiest,
00:12:10most sort of well-rounded,
00:12:12vibrant version of myself right now.
00:12:15I'm really looking for someone that knows who they are.
00:12:19It doesn't really matter to me
00:12:21if that person is male or female or whatever.
00:12:23It's more about who are they?
00:12:26Like, what's their soul?
00:12:28Someone who is emotionally intelligent,
00:12:30that knows what they want in life.
00:12:33Someone that has got their shit together, you know?
00:12:37And they know that I'm going to be next to them
00:12:41along for this journey and this adventure.
00:12:50My name's Grayson.
00:12:52I'm 34 and I'm from Queensland.
00:12:54And I'm a director of a recruitment agency.
00:12:57I would consider myself successful.
00:12:59I'm happy, I'm healthy, emotionally intelligent.
00:13:05But I want to share my life with someone.
00:13:08Like, I really am craving that in my life.
00:13:11It's the missing piece.
00:13:15The experiment, it's a pretty unconventional way
00:13:17of meeting someone,
00:13:18but one of my best mates, Johnny,
00:13:20was a part of the experiment five years ago now.
00:13:23I'm Johnny.
00:13:24I'm Kerry.
00:13:25Kerry.
00:13:25Yeah.
00:13:27He and Kerry are now married
00:13:29with a beautiful family of their own,
00:13:30so I thought, you know,
00:13:31if he can fall in love on this experiment,
00:13:33maybe I can too.
00:13:36Just want you to be happy, Grayson.
00:13:38Yeah, well, Mum, I mean,
00:13:39Johnny and Kerry have had success.
00:13:41We've been trying long enough, you know?
00:13:43It's time.
00:13:44I can put my trust in these experts.
00:13:47What I've been doing hasn't been working, so...
00:13:50Now, we looked very closely for a match for Julia.
00:13:54We looked at both men and women.
00:13:57She was equally open to being paired with both,
00:14:00so we cast the net wide.
00:14:01But every time, we always came back to Grayson.
00:14:07He matches her on values, intellect and emotional intelligence.
00:14:12Grayson's very self-aware.
00:14:14He's not afraid to open up and to learn.
00:14:17This is a guy who's had to come to terms with shattered dreams.
00:14:20Yes.
00:14:24Growing up, football for me was my life.
00:14:26Like, I was a fanatic.
00:14:28I grew up just wanting to be a professional AFL player.
00:14:32That's all I wanted.
00:14:34You know, I committed my whole life, really,
00:14:38to trying to make it.
00:14:41I was aligned with a couple of different AFL clubs.
00:14:45I was very, very close.
00:14:48However, due to bad injuries,
00:14:50it sort of came crumbling down.
00:14:54Fell at the last hurdle.
00:14:55It was a tough, a tough time.
00:14:59AFL meant everything to me.
00:15:01That's where I got my self-esteem from,
00:15:04my confidence.
00:15:05I felt like I lost my whole identity
00:15:08and fell into a crisis of being super self-critical.
00:15:16I've been single for three years
00:15:18and I think that's the period of time
00:15:20where I've changed the most of my life.
00:15:22I've spent a lot of time alone working on myself.
00:15:27As you sit here now,
00:15:29do you feel like you've got to that stage
00:15:31where you're healthy, that you're whole?
00:15:34Absolutely.
00:15:34It's a really peaceful feeling.
00:15:37I feel proud of myself.
00:15:38I'm not living in the past anymore.
00:15:39I'm at a point in my life now
00:15:41where I'm ready to share my life with someone.
00:15:43I'm, I guess, a new person, really.
00:15:48They've asked me a few times
00:15:49what it is that I would like in a woman.
00:15:54Someone that's open, vulnerable,
00:15:57emotionally intelligent,
00:15:58loves adventure, loves to travel,
00:16:00you know, optimistic, ambitious.
00:16:09It's probably going to be too big
00:16:11because I have pin-sized hair.
00:16:13It fits!
00:16:14Mum, what do you think of me doing this experiment?
00:16:19You've had a lot of experiences through your whole life.
00:16:22Like you've, one minute you're in America in the desert,
00:16:26next minute you're in Bali surfing.
00:16:29So I feel as though the time is right for you.
00:16:32And I hope that it's somebody that is in line with an open mind like you.
00:16:41You know, we've never had anyone in this position on the experiment before,
00:16:48where they're coming in not knowing whether they're being matched with a man or a woman.
00:16:53Yeah.
00:16:54I'm very excited about it.
00:16:55I know you're very excited about it.
00:16:58I really want to meet someone who is open-minded.
00:17:02Someone who accepts me for who I am.
00:17:05Because love feels like the final frontier for me.
00:17:09And, yeah, I'm at a point where I feel like I need a little bit of help.
00:17:12And if it means I need to do that as a televised event, then sure.
00:17:18Or whatever it means for me to find someone that is my person,
00:17:23I'm willing to take risks for love.
00:17:27Both Julia and Grayson are intellectual.
00:17:30They have both had a journey of self-discovery in their own lives,
00:17:33and they're both always willing to learn and grow.
00:17:36They're curious about life.
00:17:38One of the great things about Grayson is he's open-minded.
00:17:41He's non-judgmental.
00:17:42And that's one of the reasons that I think this match could really work.
00:17:45I think there's great potential here, guys.
00:17:48But I have such high hopes for them.
00:17:51Julia and Grayson.
00:18:42Such a nice spot.
00:18:54What a spot.
00:18:56That is nuts.
00:18:58Oh, yeah.
00:18:58Yeah, wow.
00:18:59I want to get married here.
00:19:01Hello.
00:19:02Hello, everyone.
00:19:04Hello, I'm Glenn.
00:19:05Glenn.
00:19:06Glenn.
00:19:07Julie.
00:19:07Hi, Julie.
00:19:09It's the suspense that gets you, right?
00:19:12Oh, come on.
00:19:28The biggest hope I have going into this experiment is obviously meeting the person that I'm going to spend the
00:19:34rest of my life with.
00:19:35I want to walk away from this hand-in-hand and start our life together.
00:19:42I'm ready to fall in love.
00:19:44And I know that this experiment can work.
00:19:46I've seen it firsthand.
00:19:49I'm confident if Johnny can, then I can too.
00:19:55Oh, here we go.
00:19:57Dashing.
00:20:00Oh, yeah, guys.
00:20:02How are you?
00:20:03Hello.
00:20:05Hello.
00:20:06How are you?
00:20:07Very dashing.
00:20:13And what's your name?
00:20:15Grayson.
00:20:16Grayson.
00:20:17Lovely to meet you.
00:20:18Hey, guys.
00:20:19Are you as nervous as I am?
00:20:21How are you, Mum?
00:20:22You all right?
00:20:24You're pretty.
00:20:26I don't got a tissue.
00:20:29I feel like I'm getting a love in my throat, too, and I don't even know why.
00:20:40Oh, it is a guy.
00:20:44I want him to turn around.
00:20:47Oh, hello.
00:20:48He's handsome.
00:20:51Hey, girls.
00:20:52Hello.
00:20:53How are you?
00:20:54Hi.
00:20:54Hi.
00:20:55Lovely to meet you guys.
00:20:56Hello.
00:20:57Hello.
00:20:59You're handsome.
00:21:00All right, all right, all right.

00:21:03Wait till you see her.
00:21:05Woo!
00:21:05Knock out.
00:21:09The idea that my potential husband and wife is out there and I don't know them is a very
00:21:16strange thought.
00:21:18I am looking for a cosmic connection.
00:21:23The most important thing is that when we lock eyes, there is a spark.
00:21:36I don't know if I'm going to be matched with a man or a woman.
00:21:42It isn't really about someone's gender.
00:21:48It's about the connection that I have with them.
00:21:53That connection transcends gender for me.
00:21:57I don't know if I'm going to be matched with a man.

00:38:07Will please call me Stella
00:38:09Obviously it's not your typical Aussie name
00:38:10Because I'm not your typical Aussie woman
00:38:13Nine years ago
00:38:14I left a small town in Lithuania
00:38:15With one-way ticket, $2,000 and a broken phone
00:38:19When people asked
00:38:27I'm sorry
00:38:28Sorry, it's fine
00:38:35It's fine
00:38:36Oh God
00:38:39When people asked how long I planned to stay in Australia
00:38:41I said for the rest of my life
00:38:45I doubt it
00:38:46I struggled
00:38:48I was ready to quit many times
00:38:50But I stayed
00:38:52I learned resilience, independence
00:38:54I learned resilience, independence
00:38:54How to lead fiercely and stand on my own two feet
00:38:57Today I live simple, beautiful life
00:38:59I build out of grit, heart and persistence
00:39:02Living in Australia taught me a few things
00:39:04Starting over doesn't mean losing your roots
00:39:07It means growing new ones, stronger, deeper, wider
00:39:12My friends call me feisty, icy
00:39:14I speak my mind
00:39:15I don't tolerate bullshit
00:39:16Beneath the fire is softness
00:39:19A deep nurturing part of me
00:39:21In my language we say
00:39:26Which translates
00:39:27To you hold the wheel
00:39:28And I'll bring peace to our journey
00:39:30To me that's real love
00:39:31Balance
00:39:32Safety
00:39:32Freedom
00:39:33And fire
00:39:34Today I don't just marry a stranger
00:39:36I marry a possibility
00:39:37A possibility of something real
00:39:39Something lasting
00:39:42One last thing
00:39:45Yes, I cry
00:39:46A lot
00:39:48Yeah
00:39:50Awesome
00:39:51Thank you

00:40:07To hear Stella's life story
00:40:09And her coming to Australia
00:40:12Yeah, that requires a lot of courage
00:40:14I'm happy that two courageous people
00:40:17Have been brought together
00:40:18In this moment
00:40:22We're excited
00:40:23To see what future's gonna bring
00:40:26They really look good together
00:40:28Don't they?
00:40:28Philip, you're up
00:40:32Hey Stella
00:40:33I need to tell you
00:40:34That you look absolutely next level
00:40:35To understand me fully
00:40:37It's worth understanding my family
00:40:39I actually came to Australia
00:40:41From a small country in Europe
00:40:42Called Croatia
00:40:43At eight months of age
00:40:45It's something that I admire
00:40:46About my parents
00:40:47To leave their hometown
00:40:49Their family, their friends
00:40:51Starting over to give us kids
00:40:53A better life
00:40:54Their 40 year commitment
00:40:55Of teamwork
00:40:56Love and patience
00:40:58Have shown me that hard work
00:41:00Does pay off
00:41:01My parents have ingrained in me
00:41:03The resilience to stick around
00:41:04No matter what
00:41:06When things get tough
00:41:08I won't run
00:41:09I've lived a full life
00:41:10I've partied and played
00:41:13Prioritise fun and travel
00:41:14Over commitment
00:41:15And responsibility
00:41:17But two years ago
00:41:18I had an epiphany
00:41:19I had a midlife crisis
00:41:21And I realised
00:41:22That if I do
00:41:23The absolute opposite
00:41:24To everything
00:41:25That I was doing
00:41:26At this point in my life
00:41:27Things will get better
00:41:28And they did
00:41:30I'm a carpenter
00:41:31I'm a carpenter
00:41:31But I'm also
00:41:32An online health coach
00:41:33A YouTuber
00:41:34An annoying morning person
00:41:36That hasn't had a sip of alcohol
00:41:38In two years
00:41:38And hasn't missed a single workout
00:41:40In three years
00:41:42Just know that you can relax
00:41:44And unapologetically
00:41:45Be yourself
00:41:46With me
00:41:46With all your quirks
00:41:48And lean into those things
00:41:49That light you up
00:41:50Because I promise I will

00:42:06A connection there

00:42:08Mum and dad
00:42:09Coming to Australia
00:42:10When he was
00:42:11You know
00:42:11Just a baby
00:42:13Talked to my soul
00:42:14Because I know

00:43:29There's something that's not really gelling with me
00:43:31He was really emphasising about his YouTube and his online thing
00:43:35Isn't that something you would mention in private?
00:43:37No
00:43:38It's not a vibe
00:43:39Is he here really for true love?
00:43:42Is he here to elevate his platform?
00:43:45We're gonna still have to have a chat
00:43:46Oh 100%
00:43:47Oh yay
00:43:49Do you have your questions ready?
00:43:51And I'm hoping I'm wrong
00:43:53That the vibes that I'm getting from him
00:43:56I'm waving the red flag
00:44:10After meeting and marrying at first sight
00:44:14Julia and Grayson's chemistry continues to grow
00:44:25I feel amazing
00:44:27I feel like we're kind of on the same page
00:44:29I was feeling really lost in Grayson's energy
00:44:33You're not natural enough
00:44:36Huh?
00:44:37We were giggling
00:44:37We were laughing
00:44:39It was just really fun
00:44:41Love it
00:44:44You lifted me up at one point
00:44:47That's great
00:44:49Today I was just hoping for a spark
00:44:51And there was a spark
00:44:54Hey guys
00:44:55Just looking back towards me
00:44:56Thank you
00:44:57That's lovely
00:44:58That's great
00:45:03Over at the other wedding
00:45:07Stella's attention is solely on new husband Philip
00:45:14Babe
00:45:16Babe
00:45:17Babe
00:45:18You all good?
00:45:19What do you think?
00:45:21Babe
00:45:22Sorry I'm just masmerising
00:45:24I can't even hear you
00:45:25Excuse me
00:45:28Sorry
00:45:28I feel like I've been on the cloud nine today
00:45:33Giggly and you know holding hands and having little pecs here and there
00:45:36I feel great
00:45:38It's cute
00:45:38It's cute
00:45:39The chemistry is definitely there
00:45:41I'm making a bite for you
00:45:45There's encouraging signs there to build up
00:45:48Oh yeah?
00:45:48I love fish
00:45:49Yep
00:45:50Good
00:45:50So it's definitely a good start
00:45:53Is Joe behaving?
00:45:55No
00:45:58Who in their vows
00:46:00Talks about their YouTube channel
00:46:02And this
00:46:04And that
00:46:05That's like a red flag
00:46:11It's supposed to be your special day
00:46:13And to drop in the fact that you've got a YouTube channel
00:46:17And this is what you do
00:46:18I don't know
00:46:19I just didn't think it was appropriate
00:46:20Dropping the YouTube channel was a bit of an egg
00:46:23It's not a vibe
00:46:25This is meant to be your
00:46:28Vows
00:46:28It's almost like you were selling yourself a little bit
00:46:30Yeah
00:46:30Yeah
00:46:30YouTube channel
00:46:31I'm a this, I'm a that
00:46:32Tell her in private what you do
00:46:36Impress her in private
00:46:36You don't need to tell the general public
00:46:37And your vows is really your
00:46:38What's your vow to your partner?
00:46:39Your vow is this
00:46:40Is this
00:46:44Rrr
00:46:48Red flag
00:46:55Guys, excuse me for a second
00:46:58I'm going to go and share exactly what I thought of that
00:47:02Yep
00:47:02Are you man or mouse?
00:47:05My name is Joe Natale Drummer
00:47:06Joe Drummer Natale
00:47:16Boys
00:47:17Oh, there we go
00:47:18I'm Joe
00:47:19Ryan, nice to meet you
00:47:20Nice to meet you
00:47:21Hey Wilson
00:47:21Clint, nice to meet you
00:47:23I'm Joe
00:47:24Joe, Joe, Joe
00:47:25Giuseppe
00:47:27So who knows, what can you tell me about Philip?
00:47:31What was your take?
00:47:33My first impression
00:47:34Look, I love the fact that he takes care of himself
00:47:36Really, you can tell he's into his fitness
00:47:40He started like this fitness journey
00:47:42He just uploads videos constantly, every day
00:47:45That's his YouTube channel
00:47:47Yeah
00:47:47But a couple of red flags
00:47:54Okay, give it to us
00:47:55Go on, throw it, throw it out
00:47:58I don't know if I agree with him giving us a bit of a spill about his YouTube channel
00:48:04Oh
00:48:05Oh, okay
00:48:06Is he here for the right reason?
00:48:09I could see, I could see why
00:48:12Yeah, no, I could
00:48:13Is that something you really mention throughout this?
00:48:16Yeah, he doesn't want to speak
00:48:17No, but he's not saying that
00:48:18He's saying it
00:48:18I'm not saying, isn't that a special sacred moment?
00:48:21Yeah
00:48:21Like, the vibe that I got
00:48:23Was that nice?
00:48:25You know, hearing that out loud
00:48:26Like, I didn't even think about that
00:48:27But yes, it definitely does
00:48:29Are you here to promote your YouTube channel?
00:48:31Your, your, your, your
00:48:32You know, I think the thing is, Giuseppe, is that
00:48:35Phil is very passionate about things that he does now
00:48:37Yeah
00:48:38You know, like, there's, like
00:48:40He's basically changed from the times that
00:48:42He used to basically, you know, go out party and everything else
00:48:45And that, that's not him anymore
00:48:46Yeah
00:48:48Just ask some questions
00:48:51Am I really happy and confident with the response? Not really
00:48:55She's a stunning woman
00:48:56We're gonna be realistic as well, Logan
00:48:58We just hope that
00:48:59Those of them are here for the right reason, you know
00:49:02I just didn't get the answers that I really wanted for Stella
00:49:07And I think there's an agenda
00:49:10Stella's such a stunning woman
00:49:12And she's here to find love
00:49:15So I got a lot of eyes on you, you know
00:49:16Okay
00:49:17Yeah
00:49:19Yeah
00:49:21Do I see that in Philip?
00:49:26No
00:49:28It's a no from me
00:49:42Cheers guys
00:49:43To the happy couple
00:49:45I'll actually have wine rather than sparkly
00:49:47As the celebrations for newlyweds Stella and Philip continue
00:49:51You're in the water, hey
00:49:52100%
00:49:53A tradition steeped in cultural significance
00:49:56Is about to add a whole new layer of excitement to their special day
00:50:03Hey everyone, so my name is Aister
00:50:06We share the same name and we share the country
00:50:09And we share traditions as well, right?
00:50:12In Lithuanian weddings, we have this tradition
00:50:15Because the road wouldn't be dusty
00:50:18So the road wouldn't be dusty
00:50:20So what we're going to do right now
00:50:23We're going to drink vodka
00:50:25Sprinkle some salt on the dark rye
00:50:28A shot, you've got to have a shot
00:50:30Vodka represents joy
00:50:33Dark rye, bread represents hardship
00:50:38Salt represents abundance
00:50:42You better do it
00:50:43You better do it
00:50:43A shot mate
00:50:45Right, so guys
00:50:46Drink your drinks
00:50:52I'm not doing it
00:50:54I don't drink, that's it
00:50:56I just don't do that, you know
00:50:57And the reason why I don't do that is because I tell people not to do it
00:51:02Oh my god
00:51:03Do you want to take a literal?
00:51:06If it was me personally, would I have had a drink?
00:51:10Yes I would have, but that's just me
00:51:15I'm not drinking vodka, I'm not drinking it
00:51:17What's that?
00:51:18He won't have a shot
00:51:20In Lithuanian culture, traditions are quite important, right?
00:51:25It is, it is
00:51:26Stella, she wears that with pride
00:51:29Oh Jesus Christ
00:51:31It's our fricking tradition
00:51:34It's one shot
00:51:36See?
00:51:37I'm not doing it
00:51:39I'm not doing it
00:51:41It would have been nice to honour the tradition for Stella's sake
00:51:45Like, yeah, I don't, yeah, I just don't, yeah
00:51:47No, no, absolutely, no, no pressure
00:51:49Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:51:53My whole business model that I teach is like, I teach guys to be sober
00:51:57Yeah, definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely
00:52:01Yeah, cool
00:52:03Because guys rely on me to coach them, I'm like, I don't do it, do you understand?
00:52:07Yeah
00:52:10No, look, I respect
00:52:11I'm not doing it
00:52:11I respect it
00:52:13Simple
00:52:14You obviously mentioned
00:52:16That he coaches people and tells them not to drink and all this kind of stuff and he basically doesn't
00:52:22want to look bad
00:52:22There's a big online presence there, isn't there?
00:52:26Just that little bit didn't sit well with me
00:52:32I'm questioning things
00:52:33I'm questioning things
00:52:34Let's have a drink of coke today, won't I?
00:52:36Give it
00:52:37Give it
00:52:55The better
00:52:57Wow, like what a wild ride
00:52:59Yeah
00:52:59Getting married in public at the biggest tourist attraction in Australia
00:53:05And I still don't even know your birthday
00:53:09Are you 35 or are you 36 this year?
00:53:1236 this year
00:53:14So you're older than me, gee whiz
00:53:16Gee whiz
00:53:17Yup
00:53:19It's very early stages but I'm actually really drawn to her
00:53:23She's really quite deep and I feel like there's definitely a connection there
00:53:27Absolutely, yeah, yeah, yeah
00:53:28I just feel like we just connected straight away
00:53:30The moment that we were able just to share with each other some of our values, some of our life
00:53:35experiences
00:53:35I felt like there was a fair bit of alignment
00:53:40I wear my heart on my sleeve, you'll know exactly where you stand with me
00:53:44Is that right?
00:53:45Yeah, absolutely
00:53:48The more I talk to him, the more I'm attracted to him
00:53:50I really love how he's super willing just to let his walls down
00:53:56And that's something that like really excites me, it really turns me on
00:53:59What are you open mind to?
00:54:01I'm open, I'm absolutely open
00:54:02I'm open to others
00:54:03Listening to Grayson speak, I'm going tick, tick, tick, you know?
00:54:08Everything I've been through, I actually feel like I'm um
00:54:12I'm far more emotionally mature, I'm really in tune, I'm quite a strong person now
00:54:18But Grayson doesn't yet know that I date men and women
00:54:22And that hasn't kind of naturally come up yet
00:54:25That is something that I would definitely want him to know
00:54:28Because the fact that I'm bisexual is a big part of me
00:54:32And I really want to meet someone who accepts me for who I am
00:54:35So if he just blatantly
00:54:40Wasn't accepting of my sexuality
00:54:42Then that would absolutely be a deal breaker because that's not going to change
00:54:48Julia, what would be
00:54:52Like the hardest thing about dating yet?
00:54:55Mmm
00:54:57Interesting question there
00:55:03Hardest thing about dating me?
00:55:06Now
00:55:07Now
00:55:12It's a tough question, the hardest thing
00:55:18I'm 35
00:55:19I'm 35
00:55:20So
00:55:23I
00:55:25Have dated
00:55:27All kinds of different people
00:55:30I'm actually bisexual
00:55:35Yeah, I've dated men, I've dated women
00:55:52I
00:55:53I
00:55:54have dated
00:55:55all kinds of different people
00:55:57I
00:56:00I'm actually bisexual
00:56:02Yeah
00:56:04How does that make you feel about my bisexuality?
00:56:09How does that make you feel about my bisexuality?
00:56:16I don't, doesn't, I don't think about it at all, it's not, I don't see people for their
00:56:21sexuality. I'm open to any, anything. Doesn't bother me whatsoever. Yeah. Never dated anyone
00:56:33that's bisexual, but I've, I've married some of the bisexual. Yeah. I mean, I just wasn't expecting
00:56:41it, to be honest. Probably just categorised her or pigeonholed her into being a straight woman
00:56:45because she's married a straight guy. I've dated men, I've dated women. For me, it's just about the
00:56:53energy. It's about. I mean, that's a big one for my energy. Yeah. Absolutely. And so I've fallen in
00:56:59love with men. I've fallen in love with women. Um, but I think because I've dated, and that's
00:57:06what I sort of said in my vows, like I've dated all kinds of people from all kinds of different
00:57:10flavours and shades. Flavours and shades. That's a light way of putting it. For me, I see positives
00:57:19in it. She doesn't just see people for what they look like or whether they're male or female.
00:57:24It tells me that she can really connect with someone on who they are as a person. So, and
00:57:29for me, I take my hat off to that. That excites me. I'm kind of like, oh, let's, I want
00:57:35to,
00:57:36I want to know more. Did you know today whether I was female or female? No. No, right. I mean,
00:57:44what's the word? I'm, I would like to think that I'm not judgmental whatsoever. When you have
00:57:51the conversation with the experts, do you, do they ask you, do you, would you rather,
00:57:57you know, do you want a male or do you want a female? Like, how does that work?
00:58:00I basically said that I was open-minded to who they thought would be the right fit for
00:58:06me. Um, I didn't specify if I was wanting to be matched with a man or a woman. So it
00:58:15was
00:58:15a real surprise coming around the corner. There was a lot of surprises. Yeah. Yeah.
00:58:19It's been a big day. It's been a big day. Um, but I'm super, super happy with how it all
00:58:26went.
00:58:26That's cool. There's no doubt that this was a scary feat to lean into, but I honestly couldn't
00:58:35feel better about it. Cheers to new friends, new connections. He was pretty respectful,
00:58:47which is a definite, uh, green flag for me. And I think that what we've experienced together
00:58:54today is going to set us up for a really good shot at seeing where this can go. So yeah,
00:59:01I feel, I feel really good about it. With Philip refusing to take part in the traditional
00:59:11vodka shots. I need to talk to my girl. Stella's bridesmaids and guest Joe. Can I take your
00:59:17beautiful bride? Are concerned about Philip's intentions for being in the experiment. We'll
00:59:22be back guys. Sorry. This is a serious tribe. I know Stella's coming into this with an open
00:59:27heart looking for true love. So obviously I want the same back for her. Stella goes into
00:59:33everything with rose colored glasses. And I feel like I'm the person there to open her
00:59:40eyes and have a look at the bigger picture. What's the observations? So my first impressions
00:59:48were, wow. Yeah. Tall, handsome. Tall, dark and handsome. Tall, dark and handsome. Well looked
00:59:54after, well chiseled, you know, all that. Got his shit together. Yeah. The energy, the chemistry,
01:00:00I thought, ooh, okay. I think there's a bit of a spark. However, and I'm going to be completely
01:00:07transparent. I'm getting red flag. Absolutely. I'm telling you now, I don't think he has entered
01:00:17on the right foot. I agree. With the vows, it was, I'm a carpenter, but I've also got an online
01:00:25health
01:00:25business. Yeah. Why promote YouTube and him during your nuptials? That to me is... Screaming something
01:00:35else. Yeah. And to me, I'm getting... Are you here for the right reason? To me... Exactly. Are you
01:00:44here for love or are you here for stability on business? Yeah. I really appreciate them giving
01:00:50that feedback. I'd definitely take it on because I know that they're looking out for me. Just keep an
01:00:55eye. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. You know, keep an eye on it. No honeymoon anymore. Yeah,
01:01:00in your life. Yeah, you're too old for this. It was a bit sobering. Yeah. Which, again, it's a good
01:01:05thing. Like, you can't be up in the clouds all the time. Are you to break the bread and put
01:01:10the bread
01:01:10on the table and it's up to you? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. What you do with it? To
01:01:13do with it,
01:01:13whatever you want to do with it. Yeah. Have you been here before where you maybe missed signs? Oh, yeah,
01:01:19I've been there before. Yeah. Yeah. Or just, like, also chose to ignore things. We're sisters. Like,
01:01:27I'm a sister too. Yeah. But just be careful. I appreciate a man with passion, mission. If it's
01:01:33that, I'm all for it. But if he's not here with the right intentions, see you later because
01:01:42the space won't be held for you.
01:01:52Coming up. I'm going to get straight to the point. Yeah, talk to me. Are you here
01:01:54for the right reasons? Layla confronts Philip. Don't just be here to try and help yourself
01:01:59and f*** her up. In an unforgettable showdown. No, no, no, no. I mean it. Hold on, hold on.
01:02:04I don't care. I feel your energy. You are agitated.
01:02:26It's not every day that you get married at the Sydney Opera House. I know. It's a first
01:02:31for me. Yeah. Lucky you.
01:02:40How are you feeling? I am feeling, I'm just super excited to get to spend some time with you.
01:02:47This is the part I've been looking forward to the most. Yeah. Is the, is you. Oh. You know,
01:02:54absolutely. Really sweet. You know, the barks, you know, the relentless like process you go
01:03:02through. This is actually the part that I've been looking forward to the most. Yeah. Meeting
01:03:06you and actually, you know, finding out about you. I am really into Julia. Yeah. I haven't
01:03:17really felt like this way about someone for a long time. Do you have the hots for her?
01:03:23I do. I have the major hots for her. Yeah. She's so open and just open-minded and yeah, I
01:03:34love it.
01:03:36This is like everything that I envision. Like, no, and I genuinely mean that. Like,
01:03:42I like, this is all sort of falling into place. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel the same. I feel
01:03:46the same. What makes you feel that way, do you think? It's just your essence. I feel like
01:03:53we really sort of, yeah, speak the same language in a lot of ways.
01:04:10That moment definitely felt romantic. It definitely felt more than friends. It was really sweet. It
01:04:16was, it was just, it wasn't, it wasn't too much. It was just enough. It was perfect for
01:04:22me and where I'm at. And I felt the same from him.
01:04:30This is a little bit of doubtful in the books this day. Oh, I'm not going to be forgetting
01:04:34him today anytime soon. Yeah. At Stella and Phillip's wedding, Layla still
01:04:44has concerns about Phillip's intentions in the experiment.
01:04:48Let's hope you can. Can we have a little chatty? Let's have a chat. Let's go.
01:04:54As the best friend, I'm here to make sure that Phillip's the right man for Stella. I'm not
01:04:59talking behind his back. I've got an opinion. I'm going to share that with him. I also want
01:05:04clarity and I want him to put me at ease. How are you feeling? Good. Like, I'm pumped.
01:05:11Yeah, like, she's got the right energy and she's just pure, you know? So it's good. It's
01:05:16good. Okay, I'm going to get straight to the point. Are you here for the right reasons?
01:05:20Yes. Yep. Absolutely. Okay. The fact that you've come here and made mention of your beautiful
01:05:26online business and how big your presence is online. It's not big. It's just my outlet.
01:05:31Correct. But Stella didn't come here and talk to you about her business. She's come in and,
01:05:38like, poured her heart out. But you've made mention of the online businesses. No, because
01:05:43that's something that's important to me that gives me purpose. Like, this is part of my
01:05:49story why I changed as a person and then that was an avenue for me to become... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:05:53Do you know what I mean? Like, I just, I'm very proud of it.
01:05:57It's just that boast. Yeah. Do you get what I mean? Yes and no. Because, like, I just can't
01:06:03listen to someone misjudging me or whatever. I just need to try and correct it. Oh, it's not
01:06:06judgment. It's opinion. Okay. Just based on... Mis-opinioning. Whatever. Well, everybody's
01:06:11opinion is valid, sir. Like... Got a little bit intense for you there. Yeah. Don't just be here
01:06:18to try and help yourself and f*** her up. Her friends are just literally seeing me for the
01:06:23first time. They want to know that she's safe. So, I just had to explain that's not what I
01:06:28come here for. That my intentions are pure. And this is kind of what I'm about, you know?
01:06:33Yeah. You're looking out for your best mate. I know. Excellent. But at the same breath.
01:06:37It just adds to my story as how I changed my life around. Like... No, no, no, no. I mean
01:06:41it. Hold on, hold on, hold on. I don't care. I don't care. I know. Like, I'm telling you right.
01:06:46I'm going to stop you just for a second. Yeah. You're irritated. Okay. It's okay.
01:06:50You don't have to tell me. I just don't want someone to tell me I'm thinking something
01:06:53or whatever. I'm just, I'm very calm. Like, I'm just listening to what you're saying.
01:06:56No, no, no. It's okay. Breathe. No, I'm relaxed. I'm breathing. No, you're getting really worked
01:07:01up. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. You don't have to tell me. I
01:07:05feel your
01:07:05energy. You are agitated.
01:07:24You're irritated. Okay. It's okay. You don't have to tell me. I just don't want someone to
01:07:29tell me I'm thinking something or whatever. I'm just, I'm very calm. Like, I'm just listening
01:07:32to what you're saying. No, no, no. It's okay. Breathe.
01:07:35No, I'm relaxed. I'm breathing. No, you're getting really worked up. I can feel it. I can feel it.
01:07:40I can feel it. I can feel it. You don't have to tell me. I feel your energy.
01:07:43You are agitated.
01:07:49And it's fine. The main reason as to why we're here is for true love.
01:07:55Yeah. Okay. And we've all got things that we're working towards. Yeah.
01:08:00Prove me wrong. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not here to prove you wrong. I don't want to prove you.
01:08:04I'm just going to be my, I'm here to be myself. If it's about my bestie, the intentions going,
01:08:09moving into the experiment, I know for her is true love. Yeah.
01:08:13Ultimately, I'm here for Stella. I care what Stella thinks, you know, straight up.
01:08:17Like, oh, like that, like I've married her. So that's all, that's all I need to remember.
01:08:22I don't marry anyone else. I'm taking in everything. And I really, really appreciate what you came to tell me.
01:08:27I've got my intentions and you've got yours. I'm just trying to tell you, my intentions are pure.
01:08:30I mean it. The fact that I brought my parents here, like they're super important to me.
01:08:36My parents have been together 40 years. Like they are traditional.
01:08:39This is huge for them to come here and for me to do this. I wouldn't have done this if
01:08:42I didn't think that I was here for the right reasons.
01:08:45I wouldn't be here. Like I literally put my life on hold for this.
01:08:50I'm fully in on this. All right. Yeah. Yeah.
01:08:53My wife now, like, I've got her back. Like I said, once I'm in, I'm all in. So I don't
01:08:58want you to worry or stress.
01:08:59I've got her back. I really like. I mean it. Yeah. Yeah. I mean it.
01:09:03Say it. That's my. Be good with it. Yeah. And we're done.
01:09:08Well, thank you. Thank you. We're really happy for you. Well, thank you.
01:09:13I still have my guard up.
01:09:17We're not going to have one conversation and he's in the clear.
01:09:21That was a lot.
01:09:22Because you can't just get me that quick.
01:09:25How are you guys going?
01:09:36Tomorrow night.
01:09:37Do you know, sir?
01:09:39The next phase of the experiment begins.
01:09:42Well, here we are, team.
01:09:43First in a party.
01:09:45Our couples come face to face with each other.
01:09:48Not ourselves.
01:09:48For the very first time.
01:09:51Everyone's like, hey!
01:09:53Who are you?
01:09:55And for some.
01:09:57To see her with that massive smile on her face.
01:09:59Minging.
01:10:00I don't think she looks good in green.
01:10:02Green because she's envious of me.
01:10:03It's a competition to prove who's got the strongest relationship so far.
01:10:08We had sex and I don't see us fizzling out.
01:10:11You guys are going to fizzle out?
01:10:12Not at all.
01:10:12I think Beck and Danny are very much selling this relationship that's perfect.
01:10:16I'm not buying it.
01:10:17Mel has a sudden energy shift.
01:10:19You've actually put up a full block.
01:10:21It's immense.
01:10:22I can see how she talks to other people in the room.
01:10:25But it's completely different how she talks to me.
01:10:27Luke is left feeling defeated.
01:10:30Help me, I still feel single.
01:10:34And in a shock twist.
01:10:37Has Danny got his eye on another bride?
01:10:40I'm not talking about it.
01:10:42I'm not bringing that up.
01:10:42It's bad vibes.
01:10:43It's bad juju.
01:10:43I'm not doing it.
