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.
00:13:40But, um...
00:13:44But, um...
00:14:07With last night's commitment ceremony still in everyone's minds, a dramatic gear change is about to take place.
00:14:19Oh no.
00:14:20Oh, what's going on?
00:14:22As the couples embark on one of the most exciting, meaningful and confronting phases of the experiment, Intimacy Week.
00:14:31The week ahead is upon us.
00:14:33For Intimacy Week this year, I've devised a series of tasks designed to empower our couples to take the next
00:14:40steps 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?
00:14:54I want our couples to feel safe, to be able to lean into vulnerability,
00:14:59and find the courage to 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.
00:15:09Hola, 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.
00:15:43I 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,
00:16:53I struggle in this field,
00:16:55so I don't know how to talk about that stuff yet.
00:16:59That's why I don't really have much to 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,
00:17:10I'm not, yeah, I'm not great at it.
00:17:11I need to learn a few things.
00:17:13I don't know what to expect at this workshop, 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.
00:17:27That's becoming your buzzword.
00:17:31Loved a little giggle at the end.
00:17:35For Rebecca and Steve,
00:17:37Intimacy Week has come at a pivotal time in their relationship,
00:17:41with 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.
00:19:21I find him really attractive,
00:19:22and he said that he finds me attractive as well.
00:19:26So, yeah.
00:19:28I'm hoping that he will take on the advice from the experts,
00:19:33and I just hope, fingers crossed,
00:19:37that he steps up.
00:19:39I must admit, I'm actually really looking forward to this.
00:19:43I think it's coming a good time.
00:19:45Yeah.
00:19:46Yeah.
00:19:48How do you feel about it?
00:19:51I'm not sure what it means yet.
00:19:54I know what intimacy is.
00:19:56Yeah.
00:19:56I know different versions of intimacy.
00:19:58I'm not sure what they've got planned.
00:20:00Yeah.
00:20:01Who knows?
00:20:02Time will tell.
00:20:03Exciting times ahead.
00:20:05Yeah.
00:20:06Yeah.
00:20:07I think we'll slowly move through the friendship zone
00:20:10and see where that progresses to,
00:20:12and this is what this is designed for.
00:20:14Yep.
00:20:15I'm a little bit frustrated
00:20:16that we're in this position.
00:20:18Last night, we had a whole conversation
00:20:20about getting out of that friend zone,
00:20:22and now, this morning,
00:20:24they kept on saying friendship,
00:20:25which pissed me off.
00:20:27Not a good start.
00:20:29I would like to see things progress.
00:20:33Just the romance side of things.
00:20:37Intimacy, for me,
00:20:38has so many different forms.
00:20:43As I said, we just...
00:20:44I'm pretty chill,
00:20:46so we just, yeah,
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...
00:21:11Hello!
00:21:14The brides have arrived
00:21:16at their workshop with Alessandra.
00:21:18Please have a seat.
00:21:20It will be an opportunity
00:21:22for the group to check in
00:21:24on each other's progress.
00:21:25Yes.
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
00:21:43for all of you.
00:21:45Today, I want to get into
00:21:47everybody's relationships
00:21:48and the specifics of what is and isn't going on.
00:21:52Because, of course,
00:21:54this 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, romantic,
00:22:12playful aspects of a relationship
00:22:13that you get with people
00:22:14who are not your friends.
00:22:17That includes, of course,
00:22:19physical closeness.
00:22:20And I know for some of you,
00:22:22that's been a bit of an issue.
00:22:25Others have really jumped into it.
00:22:28Hey.
00:22:30Gia, that part of your relationship
00:22:31is really flowing freely and nicely,
00:22:34and that's really good.
00:22:35Yeah.
00:22:36I feel like every time we have sex,
00:22:39it gets better and better.
00:22:40It's more intimate.
00:22:41It's more like we make love.
00:22:43We don't just have sex.
00:22:45It's quite deep.
00:22:47And I think,
00:22:48and it's so lame,
00:22:49but, um...
00:22:50It's what everybody wants.
00:22:52Are you kidding?
00:22:53It's not lame.
00:22:53For me and Scott,
00:22:54we are forming a really good,
00:22:56deep connection,
00:22:56and I feel like there's just some energy,
00:22:59and it was there like the wedding day.
00:23:00Yeah, it's hard to, like,
00:23:01honestly keep our hands off each other
00:23:03at this point.
00:23:05Stella!
00:23:06You've also explored a lot
00:23:08in your relationship.
00:23:10We just connected 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.
00:23:32Like, Stella does kind of think
00:23:34that she's ticked everything off.
00:23:36I like to be manhandled.
00:23:37Yes.
00:23:38Amen.
00:23:38Shame.
00:23:42I just think she's full of shit.
00:23:45Alisa,
00:23:46I know that you two
00:23:47are also meshing really well.
00:23:50Yeah.
00:23:50We'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
00:23:56is enough for you?
00:23:57He's like,
00:23:58every day,
00:23:58I'm like,
00:23:58well,
00:23:58that might be a little bit
00:23:59too much for me.
00:24:00I don't know if I can take that
00:24:01every day,
00:24:02but maybe...
00:24:11Sitting there,
00:24:11listening to everyone
00:24:12talk about the way things are going
00:24:14and progressing.
00:24:17It's a lot.
00:24:18I am obsessed with Danny right now.
00:24:21It's a pep in my step
00:24:22and it's like,
00:24:23the phony flutters.
00:24:25Nice.
00:24:27I want to get out
00:24:28of this friendship place
00:24:30where he's at.
00:24:32So,
00:24:32because I'm,
00:24:33we all know that I'm
00:24:34ten steps ahead.
00:24:37Relationships are two-way streets.
00:24:39It's not only about
00:24:40what one person thinks
00:24:42is good for them.
00:24:44And this is really
00:24:45for all of you to think about.
00:24:47If you're not sure
00:24:48that your needs are being held,
00:24:50are being met,
00:24:51are being understood,
00:24:54that is very important
00:24:55to bring up.
00:24:57Rebecca?
00:24:59What's going on?
00:25:13Relationships are two-way streets.
00:25:15It's not only about
00:25:16what one person thinks
00:25:17is good for them.
00:25:23Rebecca?
00:25:27What's going on?
00:25:32Sorry.
00:25:32Why does it make you
00:25:34react emotionally?
00:25:35I'm starting already.
00:25:36Jesus.
00:25:36It's all right.
00:25:38I would like to stop
00:25:39and explore this a little bit.
00:25:42Oh, it's just,
00:25:43it's just,
00:25:43it's just a lot.
00:25:47Like, it is hard.
00:25:49Obviously, respecting your partner,
00:25:51at the speed they want to go at.
00:25:53Like, it's hard to meet halfway.
00:25:56It's very difficult.
00:25:58And we did tell Steve
00:25:59the other night,
00:26:00he's controlling the pace
00:26:01and that there needs to be
00:26:03a space for you also
00:26:05to have a voice in that pace.
00:26:08And it's a fine balance
00:26:10to find because you don't want
00:26:12to lose yourself
00:26:13in the process of respecting
00:26:15your 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,
00:26:28Steve 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
00:26:40something in the relationship
00:26:41that you are not getting.
00:26:43But you're more worried about Steve
00:26:45than you are about your needs.
00:26:48My sense was that
00:26:50you 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
00:27:09in this equation.
00:27:12I'm feeling like
00:27:14I'm going into my past habits
00:27:17of doubting my self-worth
00:27:18and then being so fearful
00:27:20of rejection,
00:27:20like so fearful
00:27:22of being rejected.
00:27:23I feel like I have
00:27:24been 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
00:27:30doing all that.
00:27:31It upsets me about Rebecca
00:27:33because when I met her
00:27:34at the Hens,
00:27:34she was so energetic
00:27:36and so loud
00:27:37and full on
00:27:37and like comfortable
00:27:39in her skin.
00:27:39And I'm not seeing that
00:27:40with Rebecca anymore.
00:27:41And I think Steve
00:27:42is making Rebecca
00:27:43doubt herself a little bit,
00:27:44which is crazy
00:27:45because she is such
00:27:46a hot mom.
00:27:48Like, she's a bad bitch.
00:27:50She is a firecracker.
00:27:53Miss Julia!
00:27:55Hello!
00:27:56How are you?
00:27:58I feel very vulnerable
00:28:00sharing
00:28:02where I'm at right now.
00:28:06This morning,
00:28:07we had our first argument.
00:28:10The truth is,
00:28:12is that before the conflict,
00:28:13the connection was building
00:28:15in terms of like
00:28:16the laughter,
00:28:17the depth.
00:28:18We were going there.
00:28:20And then it got derailed.
00:28:21And then it got
00:28:22completely derailed.
00:28:24That didn't just take me
00:28:25a step back.
00:28:27A lot of emotional
00:28:30safety,
00:28:31trust,
00:28:32was sort of broken
00:28:33in that moment for me.
00:28:35In terms of repairing,
00:28:37because you've been derailed,
00:28:39what 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
00:28:45to 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
00:28:52makes this
00:28:53very nuanced.
00:28:56I want to be
00:28:57authentic in this.
00:28:59I want to be
00:28:59authentic with Grayson.
00:29:05I'm wanting to honour
00:29:06and respect myself
00:29:07and 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,
00:29:21organic,
00:29:21free-flowing energy
00:29:22that I probably need
00:29:24to romantically connect.
00:29:31and Rachel,
00:29:33I haven't forgotten
00:29:34about you,
00:29:34queen.
00:29:36Go, girl.
00:29:38What's been going on?
00:29:41Right now,
00:29:42any kissing,
00:29:43it's very much
00:29:43like a peck.
00:29:45Since the wedding,
00:29:46we've only had
00:29:47two goodnight kisses
00:29:50and...
00:29:50Are they goodnight
00:29:52pecks
00:29:52or goodnight kisses?
00:29:54It's very just like,
00:29:56that's it.
00:29:57Oh.
00:29:58So,
00:29:59this week really
00:30:00has come on a timely thing
00:30:01because I've said to him,
00:30:03I really need you
00:30:03to lean into this
00:30:04because I've come here
00:30:06for a romantic connection.
00:30:07I'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.
00:30:13but I'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 for 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,
00:30:47he's actually showing me.
00:30:49Yeah.
00:30:50For me,
00:30:51if at the end of this week
00:30:52I can get a proper kiss
00:30:53from my husband,
00:30:54I'm like,
00:30:55tick, tick.
00:30:56We're moving
00:30:57in the right direction.
00:30:59So with that,
00:31:01the first task
00:31:02for Intimacy Week

00:31:19that you need
00:31:19to get close
00:31:21to your partner.
00:31:22I want you to remember
00:31:24that this is all

00:31:56some items
00:31:57to give her
00:31:58relationship with
00:31:59Steve
00:31:59a much-needed spark.
00:32:03OK.

00:32:06Come with Mummy.
00:32:08I'm excited.

00:32:16I want her to feel sexy.
00:32:17If you're the hottest
00:32:1850-year-old I've ever
00:32:19met in my life,
00:32:20you're a f***ing bad
00:32:21bitch.
00:32:21He should be chasing
00:32:22after you, babe.
00:32:23I want her to feel
00:32:24like a baddie
00:32:25and she is.
00:32:27They're cute, aren't they?
00:32:28I could see you
00:32:29in like a nurse outfit.
00:32:31I could see you
00:32:32doing that.
00:32:32He might be
00:32:33into that.
00:32:35Oh my God, okay.
00:32:38I'm really...
00:32:39Oh, that's hot, Az.
00:32:40Because you're a
00:32:40businesswoman, babe.
00:32:42Boss bitch.
00:32:43Wait.
00:32:44She's ready
00:32:45for some touch
00:32:46from Steve.
00:32:47I'll get that.
00:32:47I think, yeah.
00:32:48I hope that happens
00:32:50for her tonight.
00:32:51What about a whip?
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.
00:33:12..is hoping Alessandra's
00:33:14task might help her
00:33:15address the 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.
00:33:40Okay, no worries.
00:33:42Obviously, intimacy
00:33:42is really lacking
00:33:43for Stephen and I.
00:33:44So,
00:33:45my fantasy right now
00:33:47with my husband
00:33:48is that he will kiss 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,
00:34:06I'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 that,
00:34:16you know,
00:34:16we can progress
00:34:18just our kissing.
00:34:19Just our kissing.
00:34:20But I am going to need
00:34:21the apartment
00:34:22for a little bit.
00:34:23Okay, no worries.
00:34:24See 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,
00:34:31create a rom-com vibe,
00:34:33like,
00:34:34in Love Actually
00:34:35and hold some placards up.
00:34:37You know,
00:34:37kind of welcoming Stephen
00:34:38to my fantasy.
00:34:40Okay.
00:34:41Asking some really
00:34:43direct questions too.
00:34:46Get him to really
00:34:47actually open up
00:34:48to me more.
00:34:52Now I'm going into this
00:34:54really open-hearted
00:34:55that we're here
00:34:56to put ourselves out there.
00:34:57We're here to be vulnerable.
00:35:01And that's what
00:35:02I'm going to do.
00:35:05I'm really hoping
00:35:06he leads into this.
00:35:09I want this so badly
00:35:11with him.
00:35:14I want this to progress.
00:35:17I need some romance.
00:35:19I need it.
00:35:51All righty.
00:35:53It says, please read out loud.
00:36:04Welcome to my fantasy task.
00:36:06I ask that you please answer all questions clearly.
00:36:14What things do you like about me and my personality?
00:36:23The things I like about you are is your caring, selfless nature that you have.
00:36:30And you bring me up every day.
00:36:32You feel like that you're my number one fan and you make me never doubt myself.
00:36:38And I really appreciate that about your personality.
00:36:41That's the number one thing I can say about you that I really enjoy.
00:36:51What physical asset of mine do you like the most?
00:36:55I love your eyes and your laugh.
00:36:57Your laugh is very contagious.
00:37:00And having said that, you actually have more than one type of laugh too.
00:37:03You've got a giggly one, a serious one, and there's the nervous one that we had at our wedding.
00:37:11So you have a few, you have a few laughs.
00:37:30Will you kiss me now, in this moment, the kind of kiss that makes me feel something?
00:37:53I can kiss you, Rachel.
00:37:56I can kiss you.
00:38:00But I'm not too sure if it's going to make you feel something.
00:38:14Will you kiss me now, in this moment, the kind of kiss that makes me feel something?
00:38:40I can kiss you, Rachel.
00:38:43I can kiss you.
00:38:47I can kiss you, but I'm not too sure if it's going to make you feel something.
00:39:06I need to understand what you mean by that.
00:39:11I really...
00:39:12Yeah.
00:39:14You need to help me understand what you mean by that.
00:39:17And I'll let you...
00:39:18And I'll explain.
00:39:20I'll explain.
00:39:21Yeah.
00:39:22Do you want to...
00:39:22We have a seat and I'll explain?
00:39:24Sure.
00:39:27Now, I'm really...
00:39:40I'm going to be really open to you with this.
00:39:48The way I stand in the relationship right now, we feel like roommates and I feel like it
00:39:54is friendly.
00:39:56For me to kiss you and make you feel something, I need to feel that romantic connection.
00:40:01And unfortunately, I haven't felt that romantic connection as of yet.
00:40:09This is really hard for me to be saying this right now.
00:40:13For me to get intimate and to get that passion, I need that spark.
00:40:19I need that romantic connection, I need that flirtiness, I need all of those dots to be connected.
00:40:27For me to feel comfortable and to give you the passion that you want, that you need to feel in
00:40:33the kiss.
00:40:35I like you, Stephen.
00:40:37I'm physically attracted to you.
00:40:39I have having lucid dreams about you finally grabbing me and kissing me and it makes me excited.
00:40:46And to sit here and say you feel no spark for me, nothing, what a slap in the face.
00:40:58I need to know why you're here.
00:41:02Because you're holding so much back from me.
00:41:06It's all on your time schedule.
00:41:09Everything is on your time schedule currently.
00:41:14And all I asked was a kiss.
00:41:17A kiss that makes me feel something.
00:41:19More than a peck than you would give your mum.
00:41:21That's it.
00:41:22That's all I wanted.
00:41:24That's all I wanted.
00:41:25Was a kiss.
00:41:27That's more than just...
00:41:29That's it.
00:41:30And...
00:41:31I didn't want to kiss you and it to feel empty either, Rachel.
00:41:36Yeah.
00:41:37I want to kiss you with passion.
00:41:40I actually don't think you want to kiss me at all, Stephen.
00:41:43And I think you actually don't want to tell me directly that you're not into me.
00:41:49That you're not physically attracted to me.
00:41:53Direct question.
00:41:55Do you have any physical attraction to me at all?
00:42:02It's a yes or no question, Stephen.
00:42:04I don't want to dance around.
00:42:06I don't want you to dance around politically and give me a politically correct answer.
00:42:10Yes or no.
00:42:11Are you physically attracted to me?
00:42:14Trust me, I can handle it.
00:42:17There's more to it than a yes or no answer.
00:42:19But there isn't.
00:42:21There is, Rachel.
00:42:23There is.
00:42:24I'm a romantic and passionate person.
00:42:28That's the way I am.
00:42:30And I'm proud of it to be like that.
00:42:31Well, where is it?
00:42:32Where's the romance and passion that you're speaking of?
00:42:36I need to feel the passion, the spark.
00:42:38I haven't felt that spark yet, Rachel.
00:42:40So I just keep doing this and wait for you to feel a spark?
00:42:49Yeah, sweet.
00:42:55Cool.
00:42:57Um.
00:42:59Yeah, I think we need some space right now.
00:43:02I'm feeling really, really rejected over a kiss.
00:43:06Um.
00:43:07And sitting here having you say to me that you've not viewed me romantically at all.
00:43:13When.
00:43:17I was exactly right.
00:43:19I'm out on the ledge.
00:43:20I'm by myself.
00:43:22Just boot me off at this point.
00:43:24F*** this.
00:43:26F***.
00:43:28I don't deserve this.
00:43:36I don't deserve this.
00:43:42No.
00:43:43No.
00:44:00With the ultimate fantasy night underway,
00:44:03more brides are getting ready for their intimate night in,
00:44:07with their husbands soon to find out what's in store for them.
00:44:14Oh, what the? Oh, damn!
00:44:17Are you for real right now?
00:44:21My plan for David was dress up, look all sexy for my husband,
00:44:27because he deserves a present, and I'd love to give.
00:44:31I'm a giver.
00:44:32Damn, you're looking so good.
00:44:34Do you like it?
00:44:35Damn.
00:44:36Yeah?
00:44:37I'm not going to lie, my jaw dropped to the floor,
00:44:39and you needed literally a vacuum cleaner to suck up all the pieces.
00:44:44It shattered.
00:44:45Oh, my God. Damn.
00:44:47Wow.
00:44:50Made you a salmon pokeball.
00:44:53Not sure if that's dinner or this is dinner.
00:44:56All right, well...
00:44:56Right here in front of me.
00:44:58Well, there's a lot of sexual tension
00:45:00and a lot of chemistry with David, and I...
00:45:04I'm trying to collect my thoughts.
00:45:05If people want to call it Frank, that's okay,
00:45:07but I'm having a great time with my husband.
00:45:10Like, we are...
00:45:11We are...
00:45:12Really vibing.
00:45:15As Alyssa and David prepare for dessert...
00:45:18Let's get this foot massage going.
00:45:19Ah!
00:45:22Gia's preparing for her own fantasy night
00:45:25with husband Scott.
00:45:28Dressed as a bunny tonight for my husband.
00:45:33He'll like anything with me half-naked.
00:45:35He'll be wearing a bloody towel and he'll be happy.
00:45:38It is ultimate fantasy night.
00:45:41Oh, my nipples are nearly out.
00:45:42Let me cover that up.
00:45:44Scott should be prepared.
00:45:45I'm going to kind of tell him what to do tonight
00:45:47and make him kind of wait on my hand and foot.
00:45:50Usually Scott likes to be in control at all times.
00:45:52He's a control freak.
00:45:53But really, it's not his night, is it?
00:45:55It's mine.
00:45:55So he's going to have to get used to it.
00:45:57Is this not PG enough for Channel 9?
00:46:03Hello?
00:46:05Hi, handsome.
00:46:06Holy shit!
00:46:08Wow.
00:46:10Um...
00:46:11Oh, what's it called?
00:46:12What'd she...
00:46:15It was quite different.
00:46:17You're going to do whatever the hell I say tonight.
00:46:18Is that all right?
00:46:19I might like that.
00:46:21Is that all right with you?
00:46:22Yeah.
00:46:22Okay.
00:46:23I need to take all your clothes off and 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.
00:46:31Uh...
00:46:31And apparently I've got to be told what to do.
00:46:34But, you know, I kind of like it.
00:46:36Hi!
00:46:39Scott was very pleased with tonight.
00:46:41I was very pleased as well.
00:46:44Do you want the other side?
00:46:45I'm really happy.
00:46:47I think you need more oil.
00:46:49It's definitely got us in the mood.
00:46:50I'm ready to get you guys the hell out so I can take care of my man tonight and he
00:46:53can
00:46:53take care of me.
00:46:55But as Gia continues a passionate night in with Scott...
00:46:59Come on.
00:46:59Hurry up.
00:47:01One bride is taking fantasy night to a whole new level.
00:47:18What I've brought to the table for Intimacy Week is a bit of a list of questions and connecting
00:47:23with someone in this way is really sacred to me.
00:47:27What's the most healing experience you've had in friendship?
00:47:37How does that mean?
00:47:38How do you mean by that?
00:47:39Sorry.
00:47:41Since we kind of had our little argument, I feel like this is a way to reset, reconnect and build
00:47:46intimacy.
00:47:47Has a stranger ever changed your life?
00:47:53Um...
00:47:54Um...
00:47:55Um...
00:47:55Julia's...
00:47:56Ultimate Fantasy...
00:47:57I...
00:48:01It's, um...
00:48:02It's interesting.
00:48:05Um...
00:48:07I...
00:48:07Obviously everyone's got their own definition of what an ultimate fantasy is.
00:48:15Mmm.
00:48:17Put your mouth over it.
00:48:19That's hot.
00:48:20What do you think my superpower is?
00:48:24Like, can you fly or something?
00:48:27For Jules it's a questionnaire.
00:48:29Is it mine?
00:48:31No.
00:48:33Okay.
00:48:33Obviously this is Intimacy Week.
00:48:35Let's change the pace a little bit.
00:48:40Um...
00:48:40What's the greatest moment you've had on the footy field?
00:48:45Look, to be honest, I'm disappointed.
00:48:48What about me is most strange or unfamiliar to you?
00:48:53We had a chance to build chemistry and romance.
00:48:57But this isn't building intimacy for me.
00:48:59We've got a lot more here.
00:49:01What's the most insightful thing you've learned from the personal development
00:49:05and therapy that you've done?
00:49:07There is questions you can ask to build intimacy, absolutely.
00:49:11But the ones that I copped today, weren't.
00:49:13What's your favourite quality about your ex?
00:49:19I have no idea what she's thinking.
00:49:23I feel like I'm having a mindgasm.
00:49:26Like an orgasm, but in the mind.
00:49:31You're definitely building something.
00:49:32Mm.
00:49:35Having like those mindgasms through conversation.
00:49:39That in itself is really beautiful.
00:49:41Really sacred.
00:49:43Why do you think we met?
00:49:45Um, why do I think we met?
00:49:47that's a bit of a hard one my ultimate fantasy night was kind of perfect to be honest
00:49:53i'm having such a good time still to come will steve give rebecca her ultimate fantasy

00:55:35it just i don't i feel a bit emotional it's weird i don't
00:55:40me get this camera out of my face
00:55:44it's weird i don't even know why i just feel i feel like a bit choked up
00:55:51i've had a lot of emotions shut off
00:55:54in my adolescent years do you know what you mean and and and some of these emotions are
00:55:59coming back up to the surface and things i haven't felt in in in years like um
00:56:04like i feel like a bit of a school boy
00:56:10so what i've written is this
00:56:13adore because that's our song yeah
00:56:17lovers trust yeah you put trust as well didn't you yeah back of your legs says forever
00:56:24sexy oh thanks because you look sexy
00:56:28honestly that felt really intimate how do you feel about the words i wrote i think they're amazing
00:56:35i didn't have time to think about them no of course not but like i like i liked what i
00:56:39wrote
00:56:39i love what you wrote honestly hearing him write that he wrote forever on my leg
00:56:47was really pretty euphoric he did not have to write that on my leg which makes me
00:56:54really really think that like he's really serious about this that's so cute right now
00:57:02i have the biggest crush on my husband i adore him i adore him if this continues on the trajectory
00:57:10that it is now then yeah i couldn't see myself falling in love with him favorite word would probably
00:57:16be loyalty because without that we have nothing that would be my favorite word every day like i
00:57:24see a different part of her or feel a different kind of way about this is it's something i've never
00:57:29experienced before cheers here's to painting each other down the hall rebecca has returned from
00:57:41the adult store honey i'm home oh with high hopes for her evening with husband steve so my fantasy
00:57:50tonight steve i'm just going to basically go in and just show him a little piece that i'd like to
00:57:54put myself in for him and stroll around the room i'm hoping he'll go okay pennies dropped now i'm getting
00:58:00it and um yeah steps it up a bit glass of wine i would love a glass of wine yeah
00:58:06i don't know what his
00:58:07reaction is going to be but still i am really hopeful and you know what i don't think daddy steve
00:58:16is as wet innocent as he makes out to be he might just uh come around to a bit of
00:58:20a
00:58:23i must admit i'm very curious about your day i had the best time of my life so we went
00:58:28shopping and
00:58:28we had to basically pick out costumes so that we would potentially wear yeah and basically i went into
00:58:34a or it was a sex shop and can i say one thing we were like oh honey we had
00:58:38we were like running
00:58:38around like mad women like mum's gone wild to be i could have bought the whole shop yeah that's that's
00:58:44a concern so that yeah do you pick this out for me because she's like you're you're a what is
00:58:52it she's
00:58:52like you're a a boss bitch um yeah you know it's it's these things that i picked just so you
00:59:00know yeah
00:59:01yeah i like the most covered up yeah yeah that's a good one if you wanted me to put it
00:59:09on uh yeah i
00:59:12mean look i'd rather not because it's not something that i'm i guess uh what's the word it's just not
00:59:20for me it's very disappointing he didn't want to do the task he didn't even want to try you like
00:59:26lingerie
00:59:27when i think lingerie i don't think sex shop i want to feel desired i want to feel sexy rebecca
00:59:32i'm not getting any of this yeah this is on fast forward we know what this is all about but
00:59:40uh
00:59:40intimacy comes in many shapes and forms and it doesn't have to be um like this uh immediately
00:59:48rebecca is a wonderful person strong independence confident but if i'm being completely honest i find
00:59:56rebecca and i are a little bit different rebecca's a little bit full-on it's not about me stalling us
01:00:04and going hey we're doing my speed it's about us finding our speed that's where i'm at i came in
01:00:10here to find my person i'm being my authentic self and he's not meeting me halfway do you have to
01:00:16adjust
01:00:17i have to adjust he doesn't want to try just all lip service and we have to meet halfway like
01:00:24i feel like
01:00:24i'm going crazy i feel like we're on completely different pages we are happy we're good and right
01:00:30now i'm starting to doubt the relationship like i don't know whether steve's intimate i do appreciate
01:00:35all this i really do yeah it brings us closer
01:00:47it's stella's ultimate fantasy night and while philip is getting in touch with his creative side
01:00:55it's stella who's taking some artistic license with her fantasy right so you know it's my fantasy day
01:01:03yes i actually feel like you should be taking your clothes off as well
01:01:11oh at least you went to the gym today for a pump
01:01:15all right you know what all right i think every woman will agree with me multitasking men are quite
01:01:23sexy so tonight i made him do all of these little tasks how about we do those push-ups let's
01:01:30do 70.
01:01:31i'm gonna stop at 69.
01:01:35i am enjoying taking the reins tonight it's great because it just like goes with the flow
01:01:40you know it's what i like about philip oh here we go
01:01:47lucky he didn't ask me to get up probably about two minutes before because as we progress
01:01:51i might not be able to leave the table you know for a natural reason i was trying to concentrate
01:01:58and trying to draw but uh my eyes would go everywhere she was just sitting in a certain way
01:02:04looking rather inviting thankfully i was sitting down because you know just i've got tight jocks on
01:02:10before i do the unveiling i just i want you to know that this case like i tried all right
01:02:15all right so this is what i go this is me
01:02:27well casso was definitely on a philsemi
01:02:31i just i had to emphasize that there's three legs there two are bigger than the other all i saw
01:02:37is a
01:02:38love heart so i'll just focus on that
01:02:44what's wrong with that look at her there's definitely nothing wrong there
01:02:48she's great
01:02:51while fantasy night draws to a close for one couple the evening is far from over
01:02:59after julia's ultimate fantasy left her husband feeling confused
01:03:05grayson is eager to raise his concerns about the state of their relationship
01:03:11i'm genuinely into julia but that conversation felt like i was entrenching myself more in the friend
01:03:18zone it's intimacy week you this is designed to help you move into the next stage of your relationship
01:03:25and she's not not leaning in that's not leaning into me asking me a series of questions about my
01:03:30football memories if that's intimacy to you i mean we're we're on a completely different
01:03:39planet um i wanted to sort of have a conversation with you around
01:03:46how i'm feeling and how we're feeling and where we're at sure it's um i'm really really nervous to
01:03:54have this conversation just so you know okay i can't discount your your ultimate fantasy of intimacy
01:04:06but for me mine's like so different
01:04:11um by asking me questions like what's my fondest memory on the football field or what was the best
01:04:19trade of my ex-girlfriend does that literally build intimacy for you like is that it's getting to know
01:04:24you these are things i don't know about you and i wanted to get to know you more
01:04:32again i was trying to lean in and be curious but i wanted to keep it light because there had
01:04:37been
01:04:37some dance energy around us for me i think like intimacy is more around the chemistry romance side
01:04:45those questions like is that your ultimate fantasy of like your ultimate fantasy that's where we are at
01:04:53right now um no i think that that's where you're at this chat was just definitely not what i was
01:05:00expecting i feel like the task was a really positive step in the right direction for grayson and i
01:05:09i thought we were building connection so yeah it's a bit confusing i want to be creating that emotional
01:05:16safety you know like these things are important yeah okay
01:05:25it's super deflating like she uses words like leaning in and getting curious and there's zero of it
01:05:32i just can't seem to get any sort of solid clarity out of any conversation that i have with julia
01:05:38and
01:05:39for me that just tells me you know she's she's not invested in it i want to build a connection
01:05:46but at this point of our relationship i'm really confused about how you actually feel about me
01:05:55okay can i ask you this question yeah can you see any kind of future with me
01:06:05um
01:06:16i'm really confused about how you actually feel about me
01:06:21okay can i ask you this question do you can you see any kind of future with me
01:06:29um
01:06:32that depth of connection needs to happen before anything i've asked you i just wanted
01:06:39you to answer this question for me it's really simple can you see an emotional connection building
01:06:45for us in the future if if we're able to communicate and there's emotional safety
01:06:52in terms of my needs that's the part um i've asked her blatant questions
01:07:02i get this long-winded answer we need to just continue creating safe spaces to to really talk
01:07:09about what's really under the surface just just tell me if you like me or not
01:07:13you know leaning in and really reading the energy of the other person jules can you answer this
01:07:19question for me i feel like we're in court or something and you're like firing these questions
01:07:24at me and it just doesn't feel it's useful so you don't like answering questions do you like to
01:07:30dance you like answering use all this language that i don't i don't understand like use language
01:07:35like lean in and and get curious curiosity like is is not asking me questions about what my favorite
01:07:46football like that is not intimacy obviously you're not happy with what i've absolutely not okay well
01:07:54this is a problem because i feel at this point that i'm wasting my time oh absolutely wasting my time
01:08:01yeah i'm getting hurt i'm starting to feel hurt i i've been so invested in this but i'm just um
01:08:13yeah i'm just not getting any any sort of reciprocation julia needs to step up to the plate
01:08:19for this to progress any further that's how i feel right now tomorrow night it was huge for us
01:08:28mel and luke's incredible transformation i feel closer with mel after the task because that physical
01:08:35gap between us has kind of been bridged a little bit we have been progressing like in the right direction
01:08:41i really want to send a clear message to steven rachel draws her line in the sand
01:08:48taking this a tense boys workshop i feel like you're skirting around my questions i disagree with
01:08:56you i don't have an earpiece in my ear i'm not waiting for someone to tell me what to say
01:09:01alessandra calls out steve's behavior the lack of respect that you're showing me is appalling
01:09:06really tread lightly i don't take to this well and in a shock turn of events one bride calls it
01:09:14quits and
01:09:15makes a dramatic exit
