- Dalton? - Kia ora, boys.

- What the heck are you doing here, bro? I thought you were gone. - What is this place?

- Home sweet home, baby. - What have you been eating?

- Coconuts. - (LAUGHS) What?!

Look at all those ants, bro.

That's disgusting, bro.

Oh man.

Is this your bed, bro?

- Our bed. - (LAUGHS)

- (BASSY R&B POP MUSIC)

- What a crazy day yesterday was, eh. - Absolute madness, bruv.

- What happen with Coco yesterday, like, at the end of the pool party? - Mate, you don't wanna know, eh.

Like, she just started lighting me up, eh.

- So that's all I am ― just, like, an amazing body?

I'm actually really fucking hurt, because guys are out there saying that.

You've been saying that I'm not here for genuine reasons.

- That's a lie.

- Mate, I'm with you 24-7 ―

there's nothing but nice things; I've never heard any shit coming out of your mouth about itat all.

- No. So that's why I was shocked. I was just, like, they're literally just talking shit.

Like, I barely spoke with those boys.

- It's just so funny around here. They're all, like, your best mate.

They're, like, 'Oh, bro, how are you, bro? How are you?' Then five minutes later, they're, like,

'Yeah, he's a fuckwit.' - Yeah. - You know, talking shit about you.

- BOTH: Slime, yuck, yuck.

- Yeah, I think you see it from some of the guys now.

You're seeing their true colours, like, for sure.

- Yeah, there's a lot of desperation coming through now, isn't there? - Big time.

- At this point, I definitely feel like I have to watch what I say around people.

Gave her a hug, kiss on the cheek and said goodbye.

And obviously it worked out, cos I wasn't on the elimination block.

- Were you worried? - I was definitely still worried, bro.

You never know what's going through their heads, man, honestly.

- Boys, I don't wanna interrupt you, but talking about immaturity, guys ―

they're playing clapping games down the end there.

- BOTH: One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three.

- (LAUGHTER)

(BASSY R&B POP MUSIC)

- How we feeling after the pool party yesterday?

- Oh my God. - Intense, wasn't it?

- Yeah, it was full on.

- The confrontation with Zac, like, it's definitely knocked me back a few paces.

I just don't like anyone talking about me like that, in any way.

Like, it's just something that I'm used to on the outside ―

like, people always look at my body first rather than judging my personality.

- Yeah. - I don't know if, like, his, like, feelings are,

like, 100% genuine or whether they're fake.

Like, I just don't know.

- Hello, my ladies. - BOTH: Hi! - Hello! How are you?

You're looking good.

- Thank you. By the way, I am living for these debriefs. All right?

So please tell me everything. Let's start with elimination, because Denny.

- I came here as a Fboy.

- Oh my God!

- Who would have thought?

- He obviously understood the assignment.

- Yeah. - BOTH: 100%. - They're throwing us off.

You don't necessarily have to be cocky or charming to be an Fboy.

- There's definitely a few quiet ones that we need to maybe pay more attention to.

I've got PTSD from Denny.

Like, I've had my experience with Fboys in the past,

and I'm not gonna waste my time any longer.

- So when I came in and stirred that little pot. - You stirred the pot completely.

- What did you hear, Kita? - Yeah, so, I heard Sammy and Cooper.

- Yeah. - And they were full-on fighting.

- (MOUTHS) - Sammy was going Cooper.

Like, honestly, he was calling out his character.

He was calling him out on being shady. And Cooper was, like, so taken back,

cos there's a very clear divide in that house.

- # Gimme something real, baby. #

- I just wanted to have a chat with you ― like, not in front of Kita,

just about how you're playing this game or just what your thoughts are like.

- I just wanna hear it from you, just man to man. - Yeah, no, that's fair enough.

I thought Sammy was coming to apologise for telling Kita I'm an Fboy.

But he was just coming and having a go again.

- He's getting chewed up and spat out. Yeah.

- So I just answered truthfully, like you said you were doing.

And I feel like maybe you're a little bit threatened or...

or something, and that's why you try to throw me under the bus. (LAUGHTER)

- He doesn't knowwhatto say, bro.

- Like, what's your crack, then ― are you gonna still try it on with Kita?

- I haven't had a chat to Kiera yet, so I'll have to have a chat with her, you know?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- Oh!

They're both liking Kiera.

Oh, and, like, I know Cooper's an Fboy, just from, like,

conversations we've had, like, the things he talks about and stuff.

So we'll see what happens later. (LAUGHS)

(BOTH LAUGH)

# Tell me where you stand. #

- (INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS) - Hi, boys.

- Whoo! - How's it going? - Hello!

- Good morning. - How are you? - Hi, boys. How are we feeling?

- Oh, good morning. - Who's ready to go on some dates?

- ALL: Whoo-hoo!

- I like all the girls, they're all attractive,

but I wanna dig deeper with all of them,

and then sift it down to one.

But at the moment, they are all on my top ones.

- So, was tensions pretty high last night? - Ooh, yeah.

- Yes. - Yeah. - Especially afterourchat.

- (LAUGHTER) - Jeez. - Yeah.

- I think we've definitely got unfinished business. - Yeah, that's for sure.

- So I would like to take you out on a date today.

- I'd love that. - Yes!

- Thank fuck. (LAUGHS) But at the same time,

I don't know whether she's gonna bite my head off or have a nice chat with me, but,

yeah, I'm keen.

- So, what kind of dates are you guys hoping to, like, go on?

- Horseback riding would be pretty cool. - Yeah, that would be cool.

- I wanna talk about the elimination yesterday.

It's easier to talk one-on-ones, and you can show who you are more.

You don't have all the boys, like, fucking butting in ― it's kind of a pain. (LAUGHS)

- OK, well, I have decided who I'm going to pick.

Tom, would you like to come on a date with me?

- I would love to come on a date with you, Kita. - Right. Let's go.

- Awesome.

I've been hoping for a proper one on one time with Kita since I first got here,

so I'm feeling really excited to go on a date.

- So, I've got a question.

So, why was I in the bottom two? - Ooh, yeah.

(CHUCKLES) Down to the nitty-gritty. - Let's get straight into it.

- So, I think just for me,

I had heard from a few of the boys that, um,

you knew people on the outside, and I think in the past,

you may have screwed some boys over in terms of girls. - Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. - Just raised some red flags.

But yeah. - Yeah, yeah.

- There it is.

He knows. He knows that I probably said something.

- Nelson, yeah, it's such a small town that you're bound to get with someone's ex.

Or, like, you're bound to. - (LAUGHTER)

- It's bound to happen. Like, it's a small town. What do you expect?

At the same time, I didn't know that maybe Will was still involved in this information or not.

- Yeah. - If I knew, then maybe it would have been different.

- A bit different. OK.

- It's not that deep, Will and I. You know?

I'm not responsible for your emotions. It's been two years ― get over it.

- Well, it's good to hear your side of the story, too.

I just kind of wanted to get both sides. - It's still, like, a bit tense.

- Mm. - And, like, I'm not gonna lie ― like, it's still a bit stand-offish.

But if you didn't know, it's, like, what can you do?

He says he doesn't know that we were dating at the time,

but how can you trust that?

But I think for water under the bridge's sake, I don't want this to be awkward, so I'm just,like,

'Yeah, bro. Cool. Sweet as.'

- Choosing the date today, it's a big decision. I, kind of,

wanna be able to get to know people a bit more.

And I think,

um...

- Eyes don't lie. I'm thinking I still have a chance here.

- I was really, really wanting to get to know you.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

But I'm leaning more towards taking William on a date.

I appreciate, you know, the truthful and honesty stuff.

- I'm actually pretty busy today (!) (LAUGHTER) - Oh. Oh, are you?

Oh, could you clear your schedule? - You know what?

I might be able to. - Wish your luck hanging round. - Don't miss us too much.

- Have a good time. - Cheers, bro.

(ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC)

# Dum, dum, dum, dum. Dum, dum, dum, dum. #

- So, there's a lot that I'd like to talk to you about,

regarding last night.

- I'm sure there is. - But I really do want us to enjoy our day,

so we'll just put that on pause for now.

And let's go swimming. - Let's go do it.

# Better love me.

(BASSY R&B POP MUSIC CONTINUES)

# You better love me, better love me now.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

- Not many people can say that they've seen a turtle literally this close to them.

Oh my gosh. I loved it. I loved it.

# You better love me, better love me now. #

- There's kind of this, like, moment

where we were sitting up on, like,

this lifeguard tower thing.

- Yeah, quite exposed up there.

I noticed that Coco's cold, so held her in,

try and warm her up a bit.

I asked for a kiss. I was in the dog box.

I'm not just gonna lean in for it and get by, you know?

(LAUGHS)

OK. Sweet. She can't be that angry at me.

I think we got this.

- I'm feeling it ― I'm feeling the vibe, I'm feeling the connection.

But... (SIGHS)

the kiss. The kiss is just, like,...

why is there not enough, like, fireworks?

Like, why am I not so excited?

(R&B MUSIC)

- I love kayaking. I'm so glad she picked kayaking.

I used to do a lot of sea kayaking.

- He asked me if I'd been kayaking before. I said,

'Yeah, all the time.'

I can't. Which way do you hold a fucking paddle?

- You all set up? - Yeah, I'm fine.

- She told me she'd kayaked before, but I don't believe her.

- He can hear me, can't he?

I was trying to focus on kayaking, and I just couldn't,

because his body is insane.

The initial physical attraction is there with Will,...

(GIGGLES)

...but I'm hoping to find maybe a deeper connection

and maybe suss him out a little bit.

- What are you interested in? What do you wanna walk out of here with?

- I do genuinely wanna find someone that's, even, like a...

like, a good friend as well.

You know, when you're able to, like, have a laugh together at the end of the day.

- And that's why I, sort of, like... I don't take anything too seriously.

- Really? Oh, that's perfect. Like, literally if you can't have a laugh ― like,

if you take yourself too seriously, then, yeah.

- I like Kiera quite a lot. Yeah. Like, I really gelled with her.

And, like, the thing is that until I'm given a reason not to,

I can see things really moving forwards.

- Have you always had that sense of style? Cos that's,

like, definitely the number-one thing that,

like, made me, like, notice you. - True? - Yeah.

- I heard something about Johnny Depp, and I was, like, 'I'll take that.'

Growing up, I was surrounded by a lot of toxic masculinity. I don't know where I stood, like―

- Yeah. - ...on the spectrum of femininity and masculinity.

And so I just started experimenting with fashion and style and that,

cos I just went to op shops and just found some funky things.

And sure enough, now my style is just,

I guess, different. - That's wicked, though. Well, we kind of balance each other out.

Like, I'm not really a girly girl, either. - Beers and concrete laying.

- I like that he's just different. He's not the usual type I would go for.

I think there's definitely a connection being formed between us.

'But why am I so scared of him being an Fboy, though?'

What's your usual type? - Look in a mirror. - Don't.

- Oh my gosh. - I just go for the top-tier ones, you know;

the absolutely beautiful stunners.

- Since Denny left last night, being the Fboy,

I am, kind of, in the mood that I can't trust anyone.

So I feel like maybe I'm giving it...

judging him. Oh. I dunno.

Like, we came on here to form a connection with someone.

And as much as, like, this is a game,

you don't wanna just be thinking about who's the Fboys and who's not. Because, like,

we're 99% sure, like, the guys that we are interested are Fboys.

- I just really fucking hope she does not think I am an Fboy.

I give off a bit of a sarcastic vibe sometimes,

and I hope it doesn't come across like I'm an Fboy.

100%, like, I don't wanna scare you, but all my eggs are in your basket ―

like, you have control of all my eggs right now.

- I am getting sort of Fboy vibes from him.

He talks like quite an Fboy,

and I'm really hoping he's not.

(CHUCKLES) Like, fuck it, I'm actually, like, nervous about that.

Cheers to that. - That's great.

(SLOW INTENSE MUSIC)

(POP MUSIC)

# I know I'm looking so fine. #

- So, are you excited to do papaya picking? - I'mreallyexcited.

- OK, let's go have a look for some ripe ones. - Yeah.

- I think they're the yellow ones. - There's a yellow one right there, actually.

- You're gonna have to get up in the tree. - I know.

- Cos this dress is not gonna allow me to do that.

- Fair enough. All right, I'll have a crack.

- Oh. Ooh! - Ooh!

Shit!

(BOTH LAUGH)

- That is one way to get it down.

Oh my God. - Maybe we don't try climbing them next time.

100%, that is the most embarrassing

thing I've ever done to myself on a first date.

- (LAUGHS) That is so funny.

- She's not gonna forget me any more.

- Just whack it?

- Try and get up underneath it, I reckon. (LAUGHS) - Ooh, sorry.

I got your hand! - I reckon try and get the stick up underneath it,

and pull it towards you. - Ooh. - Look at that.

I got it! Yay.

- (BOTH LAUGH) - Smacked me in the head again.

- Tom's unintentionally funny, which I feel like I'm,

kind of, like, as well.

- Oh! - Oh. Nearly lost my boob.

- This is a dangerous first date. - (LAUGHS)

I'm, like, dying laughing. Like, my stomach hurts.

He's not purposely cracking jokes ― it's just, like,

just stuff he does. Like, even falling out of a tree ―

like, that would probably only happen to Tom.

Here you go. Pop it that way, though.

- Yeah.

- (POP!) - Ooh! Oh my God.

- Cheers. - OK. Cheers. Thanks for coming with me on the date.

- Oh. Thank you so much for inviting me out here. - Yeah, of course.

I feel like you're funny, and we get along.

It's just, like, been a good time, you know?

So, what do you want in a girlfriend?

Like, what are you actually looking for? - Personality-wise?

- Yeah. - Your personality is just my type ― you know, like,

confident, talkative. - Yeah. - A bit of banter.

- Yeah. - You know, really free and not afraid to put herself out there.

- Yeah. No, definitely. Yeah, that's definitely me.

You're one of, like, the guys that I, like, vibe with the most.

- Awesome. I'm very happy to hear that.

- I hope that makes you feel good. Yeah. (LAUGHS)

- It is good, because obviously I do like you.

- Stop it (!) (LAUGHS)

I'm actually surprised at how well it's going.

Oh, hey. Good. OK. Yeah, let's try it.

Tom has a very chilled vibe.

- I love it, eh.

- So that's where we're quite different, because I'm quite, like, city girl, out there.

But I feel like opposites attract.

We just get along really well. Like, we just vibe.

I haven't actually tried it yet. So we'll see how it is.

(WHIMSICAL MUSIC)

- (LAUGHS) - I'm not a big fan. - Not a fan.

(BOTH LAUGH)

- I'm really surprised myself that, you know, I am interested in him.

Kind of exciting ― like, I wasn't expecting it.

I'm definitely looking forward to, you know, getting to see, kind of, where it goes.

- # I want it all. I want the best or nothing at all.

# I want it all. Give me this, give me that ― give me more. #

- All right, team, what are we playing for here? What's the stakes?

- Uh, shall we play for Kiera?

One-on-one. - You're losing, though. You're losing.

- First to five? - Done.

I definitely think, like, as cocky as it might sound,

that I have an advantage over the other boys.

I just had the best time with this amazing woman ― not only do I feel safe,

but I feel like Kiera understands me a lot more, and that's all I wanted.

- Argh! Ooh!

- Ah. One. Stakes are high, man.

- They are very high, aren't they?

I feel like I don't want this as much as you do.

I'm probably sitting at a two on the scale.

And these boys, mate, they are well 11s.

Oh!

I gotta bring those, uh, extra...

nine points, to be in the game.

It's all right. We've got a plan for this.

Just gotta get the chance and the opportunity to

chat to one of the girls.

- I don't know how you can beat that for a first date, eh.

- Oh, unreal. Almost banging into the turtle was a highlight, wasn't it?

- Yeah. It looks like you bang a bit too hard, cos you've still got the mask around yourface.

(BOTH LAUGH) - Love it!

Do you think you're gonna get another date after this one?

- Well, I hope so. - Hmm? - If I play my cards right, maybe.

- After my kiss with Zac,

I'm hoping to get a little bit more clarity on my feelings.

We left the pool party on a bit of a...

And I just don't feel like it's, like, fully resolved.

What are you, like, looking for? - You asked me this yesterday.

- Yeah, I know. I know. - And the first date. Are you sure your love languages,

and what's that ― words of affirmation? - It's not words of affirmation,

but, like, obviously, at the moment,

with, like, everything in the villa, like, it's like a pressure cooker, you know?

- Yeah. - So, like, I, like, need to know. And I'm just gonna see if,

like, you're gonna crack.

Will did say that the Bedsheet Boys―

- Mm-hm. - ...said my intentions were not genuine.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(MUSIC BUILDS)

- (SIGHS)

- Nah, it didn't come from my lips. It didn't come from theirs either. I can 100% confirmthat.

You can go back to Kiera and get Kiera to talk to Will ―

whatever you need to do.

I think it's fucking bullshit.

Will is obviously trying to ruin my chances with Coco.

Yeah. It's not on.

- Oh. - Good game. Good game. Good game.

- Ooh!

(INTENSE MUSIC)

- (HUMS)

Ah.

(GRUNTS)

Well, it's gotta be hard, right, being an Fboy during a global pandemic.

Lockdown got your cock down.

Stuck in a bubble, I mean, what do you do?

- A bit of sexting. - Sexting ― always a good one.

- Probably some dick pics. - Dick pics ― everyone loves a dick pic.

- Sit on FaceTime. - Mm.

Yes. Sit on Face... time.

- Ha.

(POP MUSIC)

- What's happening? - BOTH: Hey!

(LAUGHTER)

- What did you do? - Oh, I fell out of some trees, bro.

Got a few stains. - How was it, mate? - Oh, mate.

Absolutely unreal, eh. - Cleared the air a little bit?

- Yeah, definitely cleared the air, all right. Yeah, it was good.

I'm the only lad who's managed to get a kiss.

So at this point, I'm absolutely ecstatic.

I can't really wipe the smile off my face. Like,

yeah, I'm over the moon.

I do have a bone to pick, though.

Apparently some of you boys have been saying that us three boys ― me,

Logan and Sam were saying that Coco wasn't genuine.

I'd just like to know what that's about.

- If I'm honest,

I did mention along the lines of I heard that you guys were talking about Coco

and if she was here for the right reasons or not.

I was just saying overheard, and it was just you guys over there.

- If you heard that, mate, then I'd probably suggest the best thing you do when you get back is

probably get your ears checked. That's never left my mouth,

mate. - I can't recall saying anything like that, eh.

- OK.

- Did you hear it? - That's the thing ― I just said,

like, I thought I overheard something along those lines.

- Well, something along those lines or did you hear it ―

like, it's just yes or no.

- I don't think my ears are lying to me ―

it's something that I heard, and it's something that they would say.

I'm not going for those girls, so it serves me no purpose.

- So then what was in it for you, then?

- Nothing ― being honest, staying true to my morals.

- Being honest.

I had a feeling it was William that made the comments.

It's definitely not the way that Zac, myself and Logan, sort of, behave.

- What's this shit about the Bedsheet boys as well?

- Oh. I made a comment about the amount of linen. - Oh yeah.

- All right. Go on. - I saw a lot of linen,

and it just looked like a bedsheet from afar.

- OK. So when you come out here wearing a fucking green sparkly...

and you're painting your nails down the end, did we say anything?

- If you wanna make a comment, you can. It wasn't an insult.

Clearly, for some reason, he doesn't like my nails.

And maybe that's a problem with his masculinity. Who knows?

But I'm comfortable in mine, so I don't care what he thinks.

- It's a difference in maturity, I think.

We're not here to walk around with the boys and play the games,

paint our nails or whatever the fuck they do ―

we're just doing our own thing. Like, we've got our own reasons to be here.

I'd just use your time a bit more wisely.

Otherwise it might come to an end pretty quick.

- Exactly. - Mm.

# I give you bright light, give you bright light. #

(BASSY DANCE MUSIC)

# Hey! #

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

- Is my hair all good?

- Cheers for the pool party, Bedsheet Boys.

- (LAUGHTER) - This guy!

- Just trying to get those one-on-ones.

At this pool party, I am gonna yarn my own ear off.

- (CHEERING) - Whoo!

- (APPLAUSE) - What's going on? - Hi, Iggy.

- How are you doing? - Good. - How are you?

- Coco! What's going on, darling? - Hi. - Coco, how are you doing?

- Oh, good. - Good to see you.

- Hiya. How have you been? - Good.

- God, I love your cowboy boots. - Oh, thank you. - Very cool.

- It felt very me, you know. - Yeah, absolutely.

- It's always awkward, me getting on these things with a short dress.

No, how are you feeling? Like, after, you know,

everything that's been happening.

- When you put me up for elimination, I kind of felt a bit sad,

you know, cos I really wanted to get to know you. - Yeah.

- And I wanted to get a chance for you to get to know me. Yeah.

I don't really have any romantic feelings for Cooper at the moment.

He is my type on paper, so maybe if I get to know him more,

hopefully something could potentially come up,

but I'm really not sure at the moment.

Oh my God. Sorry. There's a grasshopper on my arm.

Oh, thank you. (GIGGLES) I thought it was my hair.

And then I looked, and I was like, 'Oh my God.'

- Zac's a straight-up guy. Like, I respect Zach.

He's a straight talker. Like, me and him, we'll always be real with each other.

Shit kicked off yesterday.

What happened? - Zac was sick of the bullshit that's been said about him.

- Bullshit? - Cos the boys are chatting shit,

right, and he confronted them about it. And I was there with him.

I was there with all of them. They had nothing to say.

The truth came out, because they were stuttering over their words. - Right.

So basically it came out that they weren't telling the truth?

- Oh, they just were, like, 'Oh, we heard from someone else that heard from someone else.'

- Wishy-washy. - Oh, completely.

- Sammy, just off the bat is, going straight into the drama.

And I'm, like, 'Come on ― just get to know me.'

I don't wanna know more about drama.

- I think a lot of them are getting a little bit desperate, Coco.

- He was not really giving good vibes.

He just seems like the Daily Messenger.

- I love juicy gossip.

(CONTEMPLATIVE MUSIC)

- # We like to party. #

- Lads, do you mind if I have a separate chat with Kiera?

- Yeah, yeah, of course. - Sweet. Get out of here, boys (!) - We wanna talk, brother. Yeah.

- My main goal was to talk to Kiera.

And I wasn't gonna sit there with the boys and not give my graft on.

So I had to tell them to fuck off.

See you, boys.

So I can see if this is actually gonna go somewhere.

- Were you kind of thinking of getting to know obviously me or anyone else?

- 100% you. You know, possibly, but not really at this stage.

- Yeah. Yeah. - I don't wanna say the whole put all my eggs in one basket.

- Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no. Early day. - Yeah, yeah. But I tend to do that.

- I was really hoping Logan was gonna make an effort,

because it seemed to me that he was just chilling with Zac and Sam constantly.

- Do you know what? When I turned up here, I was, like, 'Fuck, I'm pasty, eh?'

- (LAUGHS) You were. You were. - Oh really?

Oh, shit, I feel a bit attacked now.

- I just wanted to know what he's like in a relationship and, kind of,

where he stands in terms of morals.

I'm just kind of looking for a best friend, someone to laugh with at the end of the day.

Like, I really don't want the serious sort of―

- Someone to take the piss with, you know. Like, my flatmates have an awesome relationship.

You know, they're taking the piss out of each other all the time. - Really?

- Hello. Can I join you guys? Let me sit with you.

What's going on? - Oh, actually, can I call you? Yeah, I'll call you shortly.

- Bye. - Thank you. - Yeah, yeah.

At least the man tried, but, yeah, he got shut down pretty hard.

- Sorry. I can't. - Really? - You know,

when you're not interested? He's just too intense.

Like, I won't even like bullshit ― it's, like, way too much.

- I just sort of sit there, shocked. I was, like, 'Fuck, that's savage.'

- This is a really cool little seat. - It is. I've kind of claimed this as my own.

- This isyours. - This is, like, Kita's spot. - This is where you park up.

- Kit's grilling seat. Yeah.

I haven't personally had a lot of time with John,

and the time we have had, he hasn't really made a connection with me.

- I mean, you girls don't get to see us a lot.

- No, we don't. - And you've got to make those big decisions straight away.

- And it's really hard, because everyone's been so nice. - Yeah.

- And that's the problem, is that all these guys are ―

whatever they say they are ― they're all decent people. - Mm.

- I don't pre-plan things, cos I don't need to.

I've got such a good chat that as soon as I'm up there,

I know I'm gonna smash it.

From our little chat ― very short chat, I feel like we have quite a lot in common.

- OK. Cool. - And that was quite interesting.

- Yeah. - Because although we're obviously very different people,...

- Yeah. - ...there seemed to be quite a lot that we did...

- Yeah. - ...vibe too. - Yeah.

- It's so easy, this game.

All you've gotta be is be there at the end.

So even if you've not got a connection, you gotta pretend you've got a connection.

What is your ideal Sunday?

I'm just gonna get some basic questions,

to make it look like I really care and I'm interested ― that's all I'm here to do.

Oh nice.

And this is the genius bit ―

by putting in this tiny little bit of chat,

I have done enough to make her go,

'Oh, yeah, he's not that bad. He's put in some effort.'

You know One Tree Hill? Have you heard of One Tree Hill?

It's, like, bang in the middle of Auckland. - Mm.

- And it's actually a farm.

- John is, like, not exciting.

I feel like he's kind of talking to me just to put himself, like, in my good books.

- What do you find you are drawn to when you, kind of,

come home from work ― what do you kind of go to there?

- It was just, like, boring chat. Like, I was, like,

waiting until it was, like, over.

I think we're gonna be interrupted. - Much as this has been great, mate.

- No, of course. Absolutely.

Oh, thank you, Sam!

(LAUGHS) You are a legend.

I was gonna run out of my stale chat.

Sammy, you saved me there.

- Sorry ― I'm a bit sweaty. - No, you're all right.

- I just wanted to come here and chat to you, because I don't wanna be kicked off,

because I feel like I've haven't chatted to you yet,

and I actually wanna get to know Kita properly.

- Yeah. - So I wanna come here, make sure I get me across,

so you don't put me on the chopping block.

- Sam had another one-on-one move with Cooper.

I asked Cooper, like, 'Oh, you're still gonna get to know Kita?'

And he's, like, 'Oh, I haven't spoken to Kiera, so I'll probably get to know her.'

And I was, like... (CHUCKLES) - Oh my God! He's sitting there,

telling me he's all about me. - (SCOFFS)

- Yeah, which is interesting that he said that.

- I've had a chat with her just before. Yeah. - Oh, have you?

OK. Yay. - And it was a lovely chat. - Yeah.

- I feel like we've both got similar morals and stuff, so... - Yeah.

- That was awesome. Yeah.

- I was pretty exciting about that. I sort of thought, 'Oh, he's just shot himself in thefoot.'

- OK. I don't know who to trust now.

(R&B MUSIC)

- So, I have a very important question to ask you.

- OK.

- Did you know that kayak backwards is 'kayak'?

- (BOTH LAUGH)

- OK. I'm joking. That wasn't actually the question. - Stop it!

- OK. OK. The actual question ― do you like coconut juice?

- Kind of. Are you gonna make me a drink?

- Maybe. Would you wait here for one minute?

- (GIGGLES) - (CLEARS THROAT)

- Greg is such a nice guy, and

I think he's the type of guy that would look after his girlfriend.

I've never dated a nice guy, and it's a weird feeling.

I'm scared, but I like it.

Oh my God. I can't even look. I don't wanna look.

SQUEALS: You got me a coconut! What a surprise!

- So, I climbed to the highest mountain... - (LAUGHS)

- ...and climbed the highest coconut tree. - Did you, now?

- That's a joke. I bought it from the supermarket.

We talked about a coconut drink...

- Yeah. - ...on our last date.

There we go. - (GIGGLES)

- We're both sipping from this coconut,

making eye contact.

I really wanted to kiss her.

- (GIGGLES) Stop!

- But in these up-close moments when we're in each other's, like, energy,

she gets quite...

nervous.

- Take a geez over at old mate Ross over there, absolutely killing it.

- Coco told me on the first day that you like guys that are, you know,

gonna come up to you and be direct. - Yeah.

- I just kind of wanna let you know that I'd love a kiss

at some point.

- Oh my gosh.

We went on one date. Honestly, I can't even say the date went well.

I feel like we didn't have that much of a connection.

- In my opinion, the best way to test the connection, right, is a kiss.

Cos there's either sparks or there isn't. - I agree with you,

but I don't like forcing

that kind of thing.

- I wanted Greg to kiss me. I wanted Greg to kiss me, so bad.

I wouldn't mind a kiss from you. It doesn't have to be now ― it doesn't have to be,

like, any time soon; whenever you're ready.

- # I wanna get to know you. Yeah. - # I wanna get to know you.

- # I wanna get to know―#

- No, that was for you. - Oh.

- I didn't wanna rush it. I'm not trying to rush in and kiss her too quickly.

Kind of like building up a bit of tension, you know ― like,

it makes it a little bit more exciting when it does happen.

- Was that on your mind for the past couple of days, was it? - Yeah.

You're either gonna say yes, in which case fantastic,

or you're gonna say no and be thinking about it for the rest of the day,

which is also kind of fantastic.

- Oh, my fucking God.

Oh my gosh.

I mean, we've got a bit of barrier going on. (BOTH LAUGH)

- Yo, good on me for, uh, trying it anyway.

- I have a very nitty-gritty question for you.

Have you ever been hurt in a previous relationship before?

- Yeah, for sure. - Like, how did it happen?

What happened? - Hey, guys,

I hope I'm not interrupting a good moment here,

but I was just wondering if I could have a quick chat to Coco real quick.

- Yeah, of course you can. - Is that all right? - Will you give me two minutes,

- and I'll come grab you? - Yeah. - There we are.

Cheers, bro. I'll come grab you in a sec, I swear. - OK.

Ouch.

- Normally what happens is I end up hurting myself. - Yeah.

- No, I just blew my opportunity, like, what?

Walk back up to the boys, and they were, like,

'Oh, wow. What happened?'

- Get the fuck in there now. - Listen to Zac.

- Make yourself known. - Listen to him.

- All right. Fine. - Get out there. - Get the fuck over there.

- So I thought I'll talk to Kiera. You know, I wanna get to know these girls.

- What's he doing?

Why is he going to Kiera? - That's who he wanted to chat with. - I thought he was going toCoco.

- No, I think he already had. Oh. Oh!

- Mm. - Oh, sorry. Hey. I'm not interrupting anything,

am I? - Yeah. Sorry.

- I will grab you. - No, that's all right. - We'll have a chat later.

I'm just, like, yeah. - This is like watching,

like, a massive plane crash.

- All right. I'll come grab you as soon as we've finished. OK? - Sorry.

- Damn. Two for two. - Sorry. Sorry.

- Honestly, I wanna to talk to all of them.

Definitely wanna talk to all of them.

- Perfect timing. - Hi. - How are you doing?

- Good. How are you? - I'm so sorry to interrupt that before.

- No, no, that's no worries. - Yeah. Here we are.

It sounded like real deep and meaningful. It's cool.

- Yeah. Well, we've got to deep and meaningful.

Like, you know, we've got to get to know people. - I know, and I think we're just,

like, we're just starting.

Couple of things that popped up for me was, uh, you like hiking?

- Yes. - Yeah. And you own your own business.

- Yes. - Yeah. So I love hiking.

(BOTH LAUGH)

- Um, what did he say? He said something.

Um...

- Right. Yeah. So why ― why is that?

- Taynen? Taynen, Taynen, Taynen.

Taynen's not really my type.

It was really lovely getting to know you. - Yeah, thank you for your time.

I appreciate it. - Hopefully it's not the last of our chats.

- No, I hope now. - I will come and find you another time.

- Yeah. Oh, another day, another dollar. - Wow.

- Got my conversation in, and I felt pretty happy.

(ROMANTIC MUSIC)

- How are you doing? - Yeah, I'm good. How are you?

- Good. I finally get to have a one-on-one with you.

- Yeah, I know. - Do you wanna sit down?

I am stoked. Finally, we can have a chat and get to know each other.

You have to do the one-on-one. - No, I appreciate you guys all making an effort.

- I was a bit worried last night ― I was gonna get kicked off without even getting the chance to...

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - But gladly, she kept me in, so...

- So, like, what made you wanna come on here, I guess. - To be honest with you,

you guys said, obviously, I'm the youngest in the group, you know?

- Yeah. - You're worried if I'm an Fboy and stuff like that.

But obviously, I'm young on the outside.

But, like, inside― - Yeah. You seem quite mature, though, I will say.

- When Kiera looks into my eyes,

it's like she's staring into my soul,

and, oh, it is amazing.

- If you don't mind, cos I'm just thinking of time. - Yeah.

- All right. - All right. It was lovely talking to you.

- Yeah, no, that's all right.

I'm not that fazed if, you know, Iggy was to go home.

Yes, he's a nice guy, but it's just there's no vibe there.

And, like, we are honestly going off connections as well.

(POP MUSIC)

# If I ever wanna see you again. If I ever wanna see you again. #

- (SHRIEKS) - What's your team called?

- Uh, Team Coco. - (GIGGLES)

- No, you need to add your names together. (GIGGLES) - Zaco.

(LAUGHTER)

- So, did you say you had a one-on-one yet? - Yeah.

- Who'd you have a one-on-one with, bro? - Everyone.

- Everyone? - Yeah, bro. - Did you talk to Kiera as well?

- No.

- Hey, Kita, do you wanna come here for a minute?

- (SCOFFING) - He's a nice guy. He'll let you go.

- Oh. - Oh! Oh, you're not getting that chat, buddy.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

- It was sickening to watch. It was gross.

- Why don't you take a picture, boys? It might last longer.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

- I think he's just put full claims on her.

Great (!)

- It was quite an arrogant move, if you ask me.

I think he's still stuck in high school, maybe self-conscious.

I'd be surprised if he's a nice guy.

(ELECTRO POP MUSIC) # Your star is ice cold,

# and I'm faded, tempting, but I'm trying for some patience.

# So selfish, want you for myself.

# I know you're no good for my health. #

- Hello, boys. - ALL: Hey, Shavaughn.

(MUSIC FADES)

- # Baby, you're the best I know.

- # I know.

- # Never should have left,

# I know.

- # I know. - # No telling

# how far I'd go

# for you. #

- Kia ora.

Wahine ataahua.

Mmm.

Well, I think we all know the drill by now, don't we?

It's elimination time.

So, Kita, my sexy senorita.

Who are your bottom two?

- The first boy I would like to put up for

elimination is...

Iggy.

The second boy I am putting up for elimination

is... John.

- I'm sweet, here. There's no way I'm gonna get eliminated,

because I've put in the right amount

of effort to just scrape through.

- Kiera, your bottom two.

- My first boy going into elimination is...

Ross.

And my second boy going to elimination

is...

Cooper.

- I'm a little confused. I had a chat to Kita and Kiera at the pool party.

And I feel like they'd both gone quite well.

I was a bit fucking, like, what the hell?

- Coco. Looks like you've been meditating on this, huh?

- Absolutely. I mean, I look like I'm going to a wedding,

but it feels like a another funeral again. - Mm.

- The first boy. I would like to nominate...

is...

Taynen.

And the second boy I'd like to nominate...

is... Sammy.

- Being in that bottom six is fucking awful.

Like, that's a basically a big sign,

saying, look, these girls aren't vibing you.

- Some of you have been here before. Iggy?

- Yeah, it's not it's not the best place to be, is it?

- Definitely not. OK, Kita,

why are you not getting jiggy with Iggy?

- (CHUCKLES) Hi, Iggy.

I feel like we've only really said hi and bye to each other.

We haven't had a good conversation,

and I've felt maybe some stronger connections,

so that's why.

- It's true we've only ever said hi and bye.

I've really only got my eyes on Kiera here.

- Do you think you've made an effort with her, though?

- I tried to make an effort today, and I was really happy, because I really got that one-on-one.

But I'd like to see if I could have some more time,

if you were... if you'd let that happen. - OK.

John, I appreciate you coming and pulling me for a chat today.

It potentially could be too little, too late.

- Yeah, honestly, I fully appreciate you've got 14 guys here.

Everyone's trying to make a connection.

Something meaningful ― I just need time, I really want that. Da-de-da.

I'm trying to make a connection just as much as we all are.

I just would love to have that time

to try and build that.

Keep it short, sweet ― done, we're good.

- Kiera, why is that boy Ross up there?

- Tonight's elimination was really hard for me to, kind of,

put two guys in the bottom,

but after our one-on-one date,

things weren't flowing as much as I hoped they would.

I'm just wondering if we've got much in common or not.

- I think you're right. You know, the first date,

we didn't really find anything we did connect on.

Don't envy your position, yeah, and I wish you all the best,

all three of you. And I'm thrilled to be here and have this opportunity.

- That was a very nice answer, wasn't it?

Could all be a ruse. We don't know. - (LAUGHS)

- Cooper, you've held the line before. How are you feeling right now?

- Pretty shit. - Cooper, I really appreciate you coming up and having

a chat with me today at the pool party.

I guess some questions were just raised.

You did tell me you were interested in getting to know Kita.

And then I think a few of the boys

were under the impression you were interested in getting to know me.

So I think at this point, you really have to be clear with who the connections are with,

because, yeah, that's what we're here for, at the end of the day.

- If I actually wanted to get to know you, I wouldn't have told you I was keen on Kita.

Kita's my type to a tee. It is what it is.

I do wanna get to know Kita more on one-on-ones.

But I understand where you come from.

- Did you tell Sam you were interested in me and not Kita?

- I told Sammy I wanted to get to know you, because I didn't want you to kick me off,

because I really wanted to get to know Kita, and I talked to you about that today.

You can believe who you want. I understand if you believe someone else,

will fully respect your decision. - There you go.

- Coco. - Taynen,

all the girls and I have had a chat,

and we're still a bit unsure on where you stand.

You still seem a little bit wishy-washy,

in terms of who exactly you're gunning for.

- Oh! Eugh. Shit.

I'm not a super overconfident kind of guy ―

I am going to be honest with you.

I walked into this island,

and when I saw Kiera, with that nice pink dress,

the hair and the bangs was outstanding.

Like, amazing. So I'm here for Kiera.

I really wanna get to know her. I'd love to get to know Kita.

I hope that's enough. - Why am I always the second option, eh.

- (LAUGHTER) - Oh, you're my first. - At least you're on the menu.

I'm, like, somewhere off the menu.

- You just said you're here for Kiera,

but you also said you wanna to get to know Kita. - But not me.

- And I really wanna get to know you as well.

- You should probably start talking right now.

(LAUGHTER) - Yeah, I get it. Yeah.

I felt like a 5-year-old kid in a candy store, eh.

Just get to pick and choose, and...

you should've just chose the one candy, like your mum said,

instead picking all of them, cos you're broke.

- Oh, Mr T, you're all good, mate. - Well done, Mr T.

- You did well.

- Sammy, we all feel like you've shot your shot with all the girls,

but perhaps the shots...

haven't quite...

hit. - Coco, and the rest of the girls,

if you want to have your heart and your head and your emotions played

with, then take me home.

If you want someone that's gonna be real honest and truthful with

you the whole time, then you should keep me.

- Well said, mate.

- Like, Sammy's piece was amazing.

Didn't understand what it meant, though.

You know, then went over my head. I was, like, 'Oh, yeah,

'that was pretty good.' Not gonna lie.

- It's elimination time.

But before we do that,...

I have some news.

Tonight,...

there is no elimination.

- Holy shit. I'm, like, 'Oh, dang. That's crazy.'

- You're all safe.

- Big sigh of relief.

And then after the relief was gone,

I was just pissed off that people had been spreading bullshit.

- # You can't do like that. Hot damn, how you do like that?

# Join the fiesta. #

(DANCE MUSIC)

# It's night. All right. You're looking real good.

# Hold me tight.

# Oh, I wish you would. #
