HELEN DALLIMORE:
Previously...

It's very selfish.

Eliot abandoned Lauren
on the honeymoon.

This is a pattern
that is keeping you single.

And despite some hard truths
from expert John...

I disagree
with everything you just said.

..the rigid groom officially
exited the experiment.

(BELL RINGS)

The first dinner party
of the season...

Why does everyone look
so freaking hot?

..saw our couples
meet each other's partners

for the very first time.

Everyone's so happy.

Everyone's so happy.

This is true love right now,
baby. (CHUCKLES)

Obviously, my match is not here.

But with Eliot's no show...

This is probably my last night.

Oh!

Lauren's experience was over
before it had even started.

(APPLAUSE)
Lauren, you got robbed.

I feel like I've been
the one making most of the effort.

Are you serious?

Tim's version of events...

It's hard when I feel like
my trust has been broken.

..led Jamie to speak up
in defence of Katie.

I can't die on this hill charging
this (BLEEP).

I can't die on this hill charging
this (BLEEP).

Someone's gotta back me.

(INTENSE MUSIC)

Tonight...a brand
new chapter begins.

We're home.

Our couples start living together
as husband and wife.

It's moving day.

Can we please not have
dirty feet on the couch?

And close quarters
will test some more than others.

Do you see the dirt here?

Do you see the dirt here?

Do you wanna lick the dirt off
your shoes?

And over two massive nights...

(SCREAMS)

Oh, my god!

(LAUGHS)

..Confessions Week returns.

Dun dun duun.

I'm nervous.
Yeah.

Get comfortable
getting uncomfortable.

You're literally here
to get to know me

and I've just given you
everything.

Hell no, that was appalling.

How dare you?

Our newlyweds will be tested
like never before.

'Cause you don't want someone
with children, why you still here?

With brand new confessions week
challenges.

With brand new confessions week
challenges.

Ask your match some hard-hitting
questions

about their exes.

(WHISTLES)
That's big.

Some couples will fast-track
their connections...

I've got you.

..forging deeper bonds.

It's been a while since I felt
that comfortable

that quickly with someone.

(SOBS)

But for others...

I have no words.

(SIGHS) I just wish I didn't knock
on that door, I wish I just didn't.

..raw honesty...

Have you cheated, Adrian?
No.

..exposes uncomfortable truths.

..exposes uncomfortable truths.

Um...

I am worried Adrian's trying
to keep something from me.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Wow. How unreal is this?

(LAUGHS)

Our newlyweds are being fast tracked

Our newlyweds are being fast tracked

into the next phase
of the experiment.

We're home.

(CHUCKLES)

Moving into the first home

they will share together
as husband and wife.

Perfect.
Thank you so much.

Thank you very much.

It's moving day.

Whoo! (LAUGHS)

Oh, yeah.

Oh, we have to look for our name,
don't we?

Alright. Oh, look.

Rhi and Jeff.

Hey!
(CHUCKLES)

Hey!
(CHUCKLES)

We've got neighbours.

Oh, we've got neighbours
over this, Sierah and Billy.

This is so cool.

OK.

For the next eight weeks

of the Married at
First Sight experiment,

these apartments will be home
for our couples.

Get in. (LAUGHS) Get in.

I can't get in.
All your luggage.

Oh!

Look at this place, Ryan.

Home sweet Home.

Oh, my god, it's gorgeous...

It's pink. (LAUGHS)

It's pink. (LAUGHS)

Oh, man. This is nice.

So good.
(SCREAMS) Oh, my god.

We've got a coffee machine.

(LAUGHS) Coffee all day.

We got married,
then went on a honeymoon

and then we're moving in together.

(LAUGHTER)

I can't wait to unpack,
to actually settle in

and finally do life in here
with Carina, yeah. (CHUCKLES)

Oh, my god! (LAUGHS)

What?
Oh, my god. Look at that photo.

(LAUGHS) (BLEEP) Are you joking?

(LAUGHS) (BLEEP) Are you joking?

I'm dead.

Oh, my god. It looks so good.

We're gonna make cute babies.
(CHUCKLES)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Let's say...
He runs away.

Slow down there. (LAUGHS)

It's a surreal feeling
knowing that I'm married

and living with a husband.

I feel like all my dreams
have come true...

(CHUCKLES)
..but like at a fast pace.

It's like fast forward.

We-we bump a bit.

We actually look like
the Australian royal family.

(LAUGHTER)

The Australian royal family.

Living together is an important step
for our couples,

Living together is an important step
for our couples,

as it allows them
to see how the other half live

and whether they can compromise
on old habits

from their single days.

Here, our couples must learn
how to live harmoniously

and fit into each other's lives.

Are you really done
with your packing?

I'm done.

Men are from Venus
and women are from Mars.

Is that what they say?

(LAUGHS)
It's a long trip to Mars, man.

We need clothes hangers.
That's for sure.

I'm excited.
I'm glad I've got that...

I'm excited.
I'm glad I've got that...

I need to hang out
my overalls, you know.

Oh! Oh, my god.

The overalls.

It's like the ultimate outfit.

The fishing gear
always brings the ladies.

Always!

Do not wear the fishing vest.

I wanna wear the vest.

That's the only non-negotiable, OK?

Oh, the fishing vest
is absolutely ghastly.

I'm not gonna be seen dead in that.

How good is that?
(LAUGHS)

Let's go hit the town.

(LAUGHS)

She loved it
and she tells you different.

She loved it
and she tells you different.

She's lying. She loved it.

(LAUGHS)

Single mama Awhina is over the moon

to be moving in
with her new husband, Adrian.

(LAUGHS)

What are you laughing at?

I don't know, just laughing.

At me?
Yeah.

Why?

The fact that you're stuck with me.

(CHUCKLES)

Adrian and I just moved
into our apartments

Adrian and I just moved
into our apartments

and it's really nice actually.

I'm actually excited.

I just feel like you can't
really immerse yourself

into this experiment
until you actually live together.

Here, I got us something.

What's that?
Hmm?

What's that?

I thought it'd be cute

if we did a appreciation jar
and you gotta pull...

And then at the end of every week,
we read what we wrote.

Mmm?
Yeah.

We are still so early on,
but I actually feel like

We are still so early on,
but I actually feel like

Adrian and I have
a stronger connection

than most couples.

There is sexual chemistry.

There's a physical attraction.

We are both very cuddly and kissy
and we're kind to each other

and I can see he's trying.

So excited to see where it goes.

Across the hall,
cohabitation is a chance

for Jacqui and Ryan

for Jacqui and Ryan

to get an insight
into each other's way of living.

Whoo!

So pretty.

Jacqui entered marriage
with confidence...

I'm highly educated,
intelligent, hard-working.

I'm a corporate professional.

I'm also a former model, dancer
and a certified yoga instructor.

..and high expectations
for her groom.

But Ryan soon fell short.

(CHUCKLES)

Yeah. Yeah.
Head down the aisle.

Oh.

(LAUGHTER)

(LAUGHTER)

I was a bit concerned
that he didn't take the lead

when we had
to walk back down the aisle.

I was the one who ended up
grabbing his hand

and leading him down
which I didn't want.

Like, that's the one thing
I didn't want.

I wanted a man to take the lead.

Nice one, Ryry.
Thanks, guys.

'Cause I don't wanna the one like...

(CRIES)

Ryan stepped up by taking
the lead on the dance floor,

but it didn't last long.

(CHEERS)

(CHEERS)

(LAUGHTER)

I'm so sorry.

He has ruined everything.

And while Jacqui forgave him then,
there's no forgiving him here.

Hey, shoes off the couch.

It's on the rug.

Whoo! Whoo!
Hey. Hey. Hey.

Leave my shoes on.
Shoes off. Shoes off.

This is gonna be
a shoes off household.

Oh, is it now?

It's a joint discussion.

OK, so, can we please...

You don't...
You don't just get to go,

"This is how it is."

Can we please not have
dirty feet on the couch?

I've noticed
that she's quite highly strung

and, you know, she's got
a lot of ideas for the place,

but sometimes
she's just like chucking

'em out there one thing at a time.

I'm like, "Look, I'm-I'm easy.

I'm an easy-going guy,"
but at the same time I'm like,

"You just need
to chill a little bit."

I know, but like...

Don't.

Leave my shoes alone. (CHUCKLES)

OK, here's the rule.

If you wanna wear shoes inside,
you can vacuum.

Here's the rule,

hey, we're not down
to the negotiation phase yet.

I'm just a little bit nervous
living with Ryan

because, like, it's a huge red flag
that he, like,

because, like, it's a huge red flag
that he, like,

walked in and put his shoes
on the couch.

This is big.

Is this...
(WHISTLES)

Wait, unless
there's another bathroom here.

No. No, no. (LAUGHS) OK.

This is like...
Ah.

This is where you'll find me today.

I actually don't want
the TV in our bedroom.

Like, I hate TV.

My biggest worry is that Ryan turns
on the TV in the bedroom.

Can't watch it.
It's not gonna work.

I think electronics
are really bad for humankind.

Like, people are just dumbing
their brains by watching TV.

Like, people are just dumbing
their brains by watching TV.

You can't watch TV in there.
OK, Ryan?

Like, I just don't want the TV.
I watch TV when I want.

No, I don't want TV...
I'll watch TV when I want.

No, you can watch TV out there,
but not in the bedroom, OK?

That's like non-negotiable.

And you don't tell me
what's non-negotiable, Jacqui.

Like, it's just gonna be annoying.

It's just like, I don't know
why you need two TVs

in an apartment this small.

Like, why does there need
to be a TV in the bedroom?

Like, there can just be
a TV out here.

Like you can't...

You-you don't both need
to be watching TV.

That's just ridiculous.

It's just like, yeah.

It's just like, yeah.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I got like a million summer clothes
and I've got, like, three jumpers.

(LAUGHTER)

I really did pack wrong.
You packed in reverse.

Yeah, I did. I packed wrong.

While some couples
continue to unpack,

Ashleigh and Jake's conversation

Ashleigh and Jake's conversation

turns to unloading last night's
dinner party

and Eliot's conspicuous absence.

(CHUCKLES)
Lauren, Eliot...

Who would be saying to who?

(LAUGHS) that's...

Oh, here's Lauren.

BOTH: Ah!

After husband Eliot
ditched her on the honeymoon,

Lauren entered
the first dinner party alone.

Where's Eliot?

Disappointing.

And revealed her marriage
to Eliot was already over.

And revealed her marriage
to Eliot was already over.

What's happening?

Sorry, I haven't had the DL.

No-one really knows.

Like, he just kind of
packed his bag the second...

You don't even know?

No.

I don't know how many people

would actually rock up
by themselves.

Like, to have the courage
to actually do that, that's huge.

So, to me that's not a man.

You know what a Topolino is,
like a little mouse.

Coming off like a-a Topolino.

Like, seriously.

But Lauren and Eliot's
shock departure from the experiment

But Lauren and Eliot's
shock departure from the experiment

wasn't the only source of tension
at last night's dinner party.

All of the-the drama
was circulating

around the-the Tim and Katie...

Mmm.
..situation, hey.

(SCREAM)

After a disastrous wedding
and honeymoon,

Katie also arrived
at the first dinner party alone.

He woke me up on the, like,
wedding night to tell me

that he didn't have a spark

and he wanted to know
if he should leave or not.

and he wanted to know
if he should leave or not.

Arriving separately,

Tim proceeded to blame Katie
for their relationship problems.

I... All I would say is

I feel like I've been
the one making most of the effort.

But that's...
Are you serious?

I feel like I had opened up...

So, apparently,
I suck at relationships.

I-I'm just disappointed
that I didn't get that support

I-I'm just disappointed
that I didn't get that support

that I would give you
no matter what.

(INTENSE MUSIC)

I-I don't know if everyone's
drinking Kool-Aid, yeah.

It looks like
he's completely flipped the script

and now, she's thinking
it's her fault.

Her life...

Do you all know
what's going on here?

She was someone
I wanted it like the most for.

Yeah.

And I felt so bad for her.

Like, seeing her come in,
holding back the tears,

you know, and I'm like,
"She's being robbed."

Hmm.

He destroyed her in the process.

He destroyed her in the process.

And that's what I have an issue in,

the fact that people started
questioning Katie.

That's why I went so hard,
so hard to air him out.

(INTENSE MUSIC)

Downstairs,
Katie's arriving at the apartments

without her husband, Tim.

I'm feeling pretty low, actually.

There's just been
a lot of rejection...

a lot of not wanting to be
with me...

but I'm gonna stay powerful.

I'm gonna stay strong.

I'm gonna stay compassionate
and empathetic...

'cause I came in here
to go on a journey with somebody

and get to know them and understand
why the experts put us together.

I knew we were gonna
have challenges.

I knew we were going to like,

have all of our triggers
like happening probably all at once.

have all of our triggers
like happening probably all at once.

But I was committed to working
through that together

and holding space and grace
for that person

to process their stuff
with me helping them.

I don't know where Tim is.

I think Tim needs to be here

to see if we can move
forward at any pace,

even if it's glacial.

even if it's glacial.

I don't wanna give up.

Despite her best hopes,

Katie is about to get
some devastating news.

What a selfish (BLEEP).

(THEME MUSIC)

Jacqui and Ryan
have been living together

for less than 24 hours,

but Ryan has already made
another catastrophic mistake.

So, I just got back from the gym
and I come into our bedroom

and we have his (BLEEP)
shoes on the bed.

And, OK, so, this is becoming
a huge problem because it's like,

And, OK, so, this is becoming
a huge problem because it's like,

what am I supposed to do about it?

In the past, I have, first of all,
I have tried

asking him to do stuff
around the house.

When I ask him to do stuff,

he tells me he doesn't like
being told what to do.

So, then the next step
is I've tried just moving it for him

and putting it away for him.

So, just taking it off the bed
and do you know what he yells at me?

He yells at me and says,
"Don't touch my stuff."

And he's like told me
he doesn't like being mothered.

Like, I'm getting to the point

where I just like
passively aggressively say,

"I love a clean place or like,
I love shoes kept on the ground."

"I love a clean place or like,
I love shoes kept on the ground."

And he knows that.
I've said it to him 100 times.

So, it's not...nothing new.

Um, but I'm also considering like
whether there's another tactic like

the mum's out there.

Like, what do you do when you got
a dirty boy in the house?

Like, how do you get them
to start behaving?

So, what is this?

Shoes.

Why are they on the bed?

Mmm!

No particular reason.

No particular reason.

So, why...
How did they get on the bed?

Actually, you know what,

now I'm gonna put those on
and go downstairs.

These are, by the way,
your aeroplane shoes

These are, by the way,
your aeroplane shoes

and look how dirty they are.

These are not clean shoes.

Everyone's an individual,

so they're entitled
to live their own life.

I may come off
as I've got high standards,

but if I'm...giving you
constructive criticism...

it's because I think
everyone deserves

the opportunity to grow in life.

So, if I am offering like
a tip or piece of advice to someone,

it's out of a place of love.

Do you...do you see the dirt here?

Do you wanna
lick the dirt off your shoes?

(CHUCKLES)

Do you wanna
lick the dirt off your shoes?

Yeah. Yeah.

Anyway, so, back
to more important things.

With the new day,

the next challenging phase
of the experiment is about to begin.

Our first letter.
Oh.

Our first letter.
Oh.

You've got mail.
Oh!

Its Confessions Week.
Confessions Week.

(LAUGHS)

Alright.

It's Confessions Week.

Oh.
(LAUGHS)

What does that mean?

Yeah, what does that mean?

(LAUGHTER)

Dun dun duun.

Confessions Week is a crucial part
of the experiment.

We want our couples to develop
levels of emotional connection,

which would normally take
months or even years

to create in the outside world.

Get comfortable
getting uncomfortable.

Oh!

Oh!

Throughout the week,

the couples will face
a series of tasks

that will challenge them to be
honest with one another.

They may find these
tasks confronting,

but each one is carefully designed

to help them to be
vulnerable with one another,

so they grow as a couple.

OK.

The first confessions week task
is a test of attraction

and is one of the most confronting
of the experiment.

OK, what do you think it is?
Oh!

OK, what do you think it is?
Oh!

OK.

In this envelope
are photos of all the other brides

and grooms in this experiment.

Oh, no.

From left to right,
you must place the photos in order

of who you find most attractive
to who you are least attracted to.

Bring it on.

(LAUGHS)

The photo ranking task
asks our couples to reveal

what they find attractive
in a partner.

How they balance honesty

with empathy
for their partner's feelings

with empathy
for their partner's feelings

is crucial for this stage
of the experiment.

Paul, like,
he's obviously an attractive guy,

but he's actually not my type.

Cute photo.

Ah...
A bit small.

It is a nice photo.

Actually, in fact, I actually
love everyone's smile here.

But he has always said
how attractive I am.

Ryan, I think the second best
looking based on these photos.

I'm definitely gonna be
at the top of this.

I'm definitely gonna be
at the top of this.

Whether you call it confidence
or self-love, I don't know.

I call it self-love.

And Billy is there.

Cool. Now, do yours.

And I actually do honestly find you
the most attractive.

Me, being honest.

Adrian is like a knockout.

I think
I'm the best-looking guy here...

I think
I'm the best-looking guy here...

Yeah.

..without a doubt in person.
Yeah, go on.

And I know
who's gonna be first in my list.

Oh, hey, just put me up there then.

Hmm?
Just put me up there then.

Mmm.
Huh?

Mmm.

I know I'm attractive.

Um, but you're not gonna be
everyone's cup of tea.

I always say that.

I'm interested to see
where I stand on a scale.

And then...

Jamie.

Jamie.
Oh!

Jamie is very photogenic.

She...
Yeah.

..she looks like
that in real life too.

..she looks like
that in real life too.

She's stunning.
Yeah.

When it comes to physical part,
I know what I'm looking for.

BOTH: Sierah.

She's good looking.
Dark hair. Tall.

Yeah. You like tall?

Mmm.

Being honest is not hard for me.

I'm honest always.

Tall and dark hair,
I'm not your type.

I'm blonde and short.

I'm gonna pick the most attractive

to me and then that would be...

Rhi.
Rhi. Sorry.

(LAUGHTER)

(LAUGHTER)

I think Rhi's good looking.

I think she's attractive.

Last but not at least, I'm gonna...

Nah, you are number one by far.

Action is over here.

You are not even close to them.

(CHUCKLES)

Nah.

By far, honestly,
when I meant it like

if I were to pair up
and I didn't know anyone,

Awhina would still be
my top pick 100% by far.

This makes complete sense.

These two beauties.

That's it.

Photo ranking, it was actually fun.

I enjoyed it. Had a good time.

(CHUCKLES)

Carina and Paul are also doing
the photo ranking task.

My little princess.
Yeah.

My beautiful Italian princess here.

(CHUCKLES)
Principessa.

Princess.

Princess.

Well, you I am without
hesitation gonna put you...

babe, right up there.

BOTH: (CHUCKLES)

Carina responded
pretty well to my ranking.

My husband. (LAUGHS)

We both put each other right on top.

You're like a 500 out of a ten.

Yeah, you are.

(LAUGHS)
Like, I'm so attracted to you.

You've just got
a beautiful face structure.

You're just throwing off
'Fifty Shades of Grey' vibes

You're just throwing off
'Fifty Shades of Grey' vibes

and, you know, very masculine man.

(LAUGHS) Thank you darling.

Mwah!

Despite their move in squabbles,

Jacqui is hoping
the photo ranking task

will bring her and husband Ryan
closer together.

So, I actually really
am attracted to Jeff

because Jeff's got that height.

Girls love a giant.

Yeah.
Yeah.

And I have you Ryan,

I would like to actually put you...

I would like to actually put you...

Um, I am putting you up here first.

Oh, really?

Yes.

Yes. I'm feeling attracted to Ryan.

(LAUGHS)

There's definitely a spark.

And I think we are on the same page.

Yeah.

Thank you.
That's-that's lovely.

I mean, I do have
a good smile up there. (CHUCKLES)

Alright, let's get this over with.

Alright, let's get this over with.

OK.
Morena?

Yeah, I was pretty clear that
I'm not attracted to older women.

Next we got Ashleigh.

Oh, Ashleigh.

Mm-hm.

Any reason?

Yeah, I don't think
we'd have that-that chemistry.

You know,
she's probably a nice person.

Yeah.

But, uh, yeah,
just going on physicality,

I'm gonna be 100% honest.

I'm gonna follow
what's true to my instincts

I'm gonna follow
what's true to my instincts

and rate them accordingly.

Yeah, it's pretty simple really.

There's no other way.

There's no other way there.

I'm not here to (BLEEP) around.

(LAUGHS) Uh, next up is Katie.

Oh, Katie.

Yeah.

I guess I've got high expectations
for what I'd like in a partner.

Alright.

Awhina.
Just wasn't attracted to her.

Loyalty is one
of my number one values

and I deserve a man
who makes me feel like

the most special person
in the world and puts me first.

the most special person
in the world and puts me first.

OK.

So, I think Sierah
is quite pretty in the face,

like, very feminine
and nice hair and everything.

I just probably couldn't
date a woman taller than me.

OK.

It's Carina.

I feel like
putting your partner first is

just such an easy thing
to put your relationship

in the strongest position
to move forward.

OK. There's Rhi, my top choice.

OK. There's Rhi, my top choice.

So Rhi.

She has got one
of the rarest combinations

of the blue eyes, dark hair

and that's always been
kind of a weakness for me.

But like, ultimately, everyone knows

that you should always
put your wife first.

Like, I'm pretty sure
Ryan will put me first.

I'm gonna be 100% honest.

(LAUGHS)

I used to be a model
and was even Miss New Zealand.

Yeah.

And I've got brains as well.

Alright.

Getting now
to the business end now.

Getting now
to the business end now.

Yeah.

Alright, last one.

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Right.

Getting down
to the business end now.

Yeah.
I'm gonna be 100% honest.

(LAUGHS)

Everyone knows that

Everyone knows that

you should always
put your wife first,

and so if he doesn't put me first,
it would be really disappointing.

Alright, last one.

I'll put you third.

Yeah.

Alright, that's it.

So, yeah, that's-that's my honest,
honest interpretation of that.

I probably would've put you two
as equally attractive

or maybe her
a little bit more attractive

if she wasn't quite so tall.

Um... (LAUGHS)

But, um, yeah, I-I was always
gonna be 100% honest

and that's definitely
the order I put them in.

Yeah, that's for sure.

Yeah. Sierah to me has
a much more attractive face.

And, yeah, like she has dark hair
and that's what absolutely slays me.

And, yeah, like she has dark hair
and that's what absolutely slays me.

Yeah, she's very attractive.

Carina does look quite
European looking,

which I'm just kind of
drawn to that look.

Rhi, my top choice.

Just personal preference.

They'd have to be, like,
absolutely blow my mind stunning.

Yeah. Just kind of
like it stands out to me.

Yeah. OK.
Mm-hm.

It's pretty shit just knowing

my-my partner has no care
about my feelings.

Yeah.

I was very honest.

I was very honest.

I'm not here to hurt feelings,
but I'm also not here to bullshit.

I'm glad that's-that's over now.

I think we, um, I think
we've got out OK. (LAUGHS)

Did some of my choices surprise you?

I don't think Ryan understands
what it means to be in a marriage.

I have no words.

I deserve someone
who makes me feel like

the most beautiful girl in the world
and that's not Ryan.

It's just really disappointing
and unimpressive and it's not OK.

Phew!

Good times.

While there's tension
in the air at Jacqui and Ryan's...

our other couples are settling in
for their first night

in their new homes.

(LAUGHS)

Cheers to ours.

Yeah, thanks for a great day.

That was good.
Yeah.

That was good.
Yeah.

Awhina and Adrian are putting
their appreciation jar to use.

Um.

Is it just one thing
that you appreciate about

each other for today or...

If it's gonna be hard
to figure one, then don't sweat it.

(LAUGHS).

He is my...

I appreciate when you don't talk
and you're so pretty.

Easy.

But in Jacqui and Ryan's apartment,

the mood has turned
from bad to worse.

the mood has turned
from bad to worse.

(CRIES)

He is like really disappointing.

Like-like-like
I deserve someone great.

I deserve someone who thinks

I deserve someone who thinks

I'm the most beautiful girl
in the world.

He's like a low effort man
who deserves a low effort girl.

'Cause that's not me.

Like, I came into this experiment
with a list of 50 things

I wanted do with my partner
like buy 100 candles

and light the room,
make it more romantic.

And like, he doesn't
deserve any of that.

Just stupid.
Like, we are here for a marriage.

Just stupid.
Like, we are here for a marriage.

(CRIES)

Coming up.

"You must ask
your match some hard hitting

questions about their ex."

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

We'll see
how he likes brutal honesty.

(TRANQUIL MUSIC)

Confessions Week is a chance
for our couples to accelerate

the process of getting
to know each other.

(SNORING)

(SNORING)

But sharing a home
for the first time

But sharing a home
for the first time

may also be an opportunity

to share with each other
their nocturnal behaviours.

Did you sleep well?

Tony, um, makes
a lot of noise when he sleeps.

You are like the Titanic
and the whole bed, it's like...

I don't know. We are hitting...
We're hitting...

We're hitting rocks.

(LAUGHS)
And then...and then...

Turbulence. Swell.

That.
(LAUGHS) Whoa.

Hi, Morena.

Hey, what's going on?

She's talking to me
about the Titanic

and having a laugh with me.

Morena is funny and I like that.

(LAUGHS)

Then the sound effects.

Oh!
Is there?

(MIMICS SNORING)

(LAUGHS)

I'm thinking, is he...is he alright?

Yeah.
Has he...has he...

Well, that...
Is that his last breath?

(LAUGHS)
And she's got a cool laugh, man.

(LAUGHS)

When she laughs, she makes me laugh,

When she laughs, she makes me laugh,

but I know I'm gonna sleep
on the couch for a while.

(LAUGHS)

Mate, you are a...you are
a...you are a foghorn.

Yeah. Ooh! Like ooh.

Like huge.

We need two beds.

Across town,

Billy has organised a special date
for wife Sierah.

Thank you.

Me and Sierah, you know,
both are missing our pets at home.

So, I wanted to bring Sierah
to the pet shop today

So, I wanted to bring Sierah
to the pet shop today

to pick out a couple of fish

so we can have our own little pets
that reminds us of home

as such but in our new home.

(BIRD SQUAWKS)

Oh, the bird's actually out.

Oh, it's alright.

Hey.
Oh!

Do you wanna come on?

I'm good with animals usually,
but I'm terrified of birds.

I hate 'em.

Ooh!

You wanna step on?

I thought he was gonna bite you.

I thought he was gonna bite you.

Yeah, he was.

I like them, the human birds.

It really doesn't look comfortable.
(LAUGHS)

(MAKES BIRD SOUNDS)

Stop coming near me with them.

Come here.
No.

Be a big boy. (CHUCKLES)

I didn't realise that Billy
was such a sensitive teddy bear.

Stop it, please.
Look at you.

Look at you with your tattoo
and your muscles.

It makes me feel weird.

I think it's just so funny
that he is just tattooed and muscly

and 6'1"
but he's terrified of...that.

(GIGGLES)

I feel like I'm backed in a corner.

I feel like I'm backed in a corner.

Buddy needs to grab a pair of balls.

Better catch, here we.

I'm gonna get me fish
and I'm getting out there.

(CHUCKLES)

Maybe I can get a share
on my shoulder later.

(BIRD SCREECHES)
What you doing now?

That's the tea. Too hot?

A little bit.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Oh.
Oh.

(CHUCKLES)
Oh.

Morena and Tony, letter again.

I'm loving these.

(LAUGHS)

Back in the apartments,
the next Confessions Week task

the newlyweds will be tackling
is the audition video task.

Take it away.
That's right.

"It's time to watch back
with your partner

some of your original interviews
from your selection process,

when you are at your rawest
and most honest."

(LAUGHS)

"Press play, the experts."

Oh, my god.
Wow!

(LAUGHTER)

I'm cringing already.

I'm gonna have my eyes covered.

I'm gonna have my eyes covered.

In this year's Confessions Week,

we will allow our couples
to view their audition videos

to give an unfiltered insight
into each other.

During the audition process,

our participants are their most
honest and vulnerable selves.

Here, we get to know them
on a deeper level

and ultimately what they desire
from a relationship.

Should we get popcorn?
Oh, do we get it?

(LAUGHTER)

Can't wait to get
the ick about myself.

Yeah, same. (LAUGHS)

Yeah, same. (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

Peas and beans.

The first to begin the task
is Carina and Paul.

Let's bring the tea.

In a MARS first, the bride and groom

had already dated
before their wedding.

He ghosted me.

Yeah.

But Paul took the time to explain
his actions to Carina...

Yeah.
You know.

..proving he's now ready to be
the partner Carina deserves.

Ready?

I was born ready.
Set.

(CHUCKLES) Go.

Go.
(LAUGHS)

My name is Paul.

Um...

Oh, I hate listening to my voice.

You look so good.

So, tell me about dating in Perth.

Let's talk about that.

(LAUGHS)

Well, Perth is a... Per...
put it that way,

Perth is a...is a very small city.

Perth is a...is a very small city.

Yeah. (LAUGHS)

Everyone knows each other.

So, you sort of, you know,
you go around pretty quickly.

Oh, you know, that's a fact.

Yeah. (LAUGHS)

Out of option. (LAUGHS)

What kind of personality traits
do you want them to have?

Well, the biggest point
is, uh, authenticity.

I just, I like someone
who's authentic.

Someone who's not trying
to pull on a facade

and tries to pretend someone
that they're not.

Is that it? I wanna watch more.

Is that it? I wanna watch more.

Do you wanna watch more?
I wanna watch more.

That's it. (LAUGHS)

I really do. (LAUGHS)

Everything that I've listened to,
I've been told,

like, there's no lies in there.

And if anything its making
it's grow even more

and our bond is definitely
getting closer.

Tick. (CHUCKLES)

We're on the same page.

Let's do a handshake.

Bang. (LAUGHS)

Got it. Just like let it go.

(INTENSE MUSIC)

Despite Tim returning home
to Melbourne...

(KNOCKS ON DOOR)

..Katie has still decided
to take part in Confessions Week.

Oh, dear.

She's about to watch
Tim's audition video

in the hopes of gaining
a better understanding

of what went wrong between them.

Uh, so, my name's Tim.

I'm from Melbourne
and I'm a primary school teacher.

So, are you open
to wanting to find someone again?

Like, do you wanting to settle down?

I think I want the typical like
happy ending.

Like, I don't care if I win lotto.

It's more about partner,
kids, dog, comfortable house.

That's all I want really.

And what about looks?

Physical traits?

I always say pretty face
is always number one.

'Cause everyone's bodies
and looks, women have kids.

'Cause everyone's bodies
and looks, women have kids.

It all changes.
But a pretty face is forever.

Like yeah, just a natural person.

Like I'm not... I'm not Brad Pitt,
so I'm not expecting Miranda Kerr.

When you meet them
for the first time in person,

what we can't control is that spark.

And whether that initial
kind of chemistry is there.

If that doesn't happen for you,

how do you think
you would tackle that?

I'm willing to give it
a go 'cause yeah,

it is gonna be such
a pressure cooker that first time.

(INTENSE MUSIC)

(INTENSE MUSIC)

So, are you saying
that you would work at it?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.
Where the (BLEEP) are you, huh?

(INTENSE MUSIC)

That was (BLEEP) full of lies.

Like, that was just complete
and utter bullshit.

He's got some answering to do.

(LIVELY STRINGS PLAY)

Is it?
Yeah.

Let me see.

As another day
of Confessions Week continues,

It's Morena and Tony's turn to take
on the photo ranking challenge.

It's Morena and Tony's turn to take
on the photo ranking challenge.

I may not look too bad at all.

I'm not bad for an old stocker.

Stop.
Look, I'll let you keep the photo.

So, I'm actually
really excited about today.

You know, I'm an outgoing guy,

you know, I like
to joke around and laugh.

And so, hopefully, we have
a bit of fun, bit of communication.

Let's start. (LAUGHS)

I'm not here to date young men.

I'm not here to rate young men.

Hang on a minute.

I'm a young... I'm younger than you.

It's only four years.

It's only four years.

One, two, three, four.

That's all it is.

So, it's not...
it's-it's not that much.

So, based on what I got
in one dinner party...

this gentleman.

He's got a lot of things
going for himself...

but he wasn't interested
in talking to me.

I don't find that attractive at all.

Attractive young man...

but he didn't speak to me.

So, for me,
that's why I put him here.

This gorgeous spark...

he also didn't speak to me.

Is it because I'm old?

Is it because
I don't want nothing from him?

Is it because
I don't want nothing from him?

I'm all about with people,
regardless...

what age group you are,
regardless if I think

I'm gonna get
something out of you or not,

you acknowledge everybody.

I-I was speaking...

Morena can talk, man.

(LAUGHS)

Back on the fishing jar.

Look at up.

(LAUGHS)

Everything will be alright.

(BIRD CHIRPS)

I know I go deep.

Ooh. You go deep.

These-these guys
have all got something

that's really special and...

Across the hall,
Billy is serving dinner and a show.

Across the hall,
Billy is serving dinner and a show.

I feel like chicken tonight,

I feel like,
I feel like chicken tonight.

(CHUCKLES)

Was that a twerk?

(GIGGLES)

With his usual flare,
Billy made sure that his

and Sierah's first meeting
was memorable.

Ah, yeah.

Will you marry me?

I guess.

While sparks flew
at Billy and Sierah's wedding,

the real fireworks
were on their honeymoon.

Um...

Um...

I saw Billy's willy last night.

(CHIME RINGS)

I think we're gonna
need the energy for today.

Yeah, just to be
able to actually stand up.

(LAUGHS) It's gonna take a lot.

Going really good with Billy.

He's a very impressive man

and he just keeps
getting better and better.

Today, the couple are facing
the confessions letter task.

And for the first time
since entering the experiment,

Billy has lost his positive energy

as he faces a past
he's tried to forget.

Coming into this experiment,
I'm wanting to give it my all.

Coming into this experiment,
I'm wanting to give it my all.

I'm wanting to show Sierah
the reason why I am the man I am.

But I've never talked about

what I'm about to tell Sierah
with any of my partners.

And opening up about
this part of my life,

I'm revisiting a load of feelings
that I shut away.

Like, it affected me
for far too long.

I'm scared
that I'm just gonna get hurt.

My biggest fear right now is that

if I put all my vulnerability
out there

and I've told her the-the thing
that's closest to my heart,

she might just think
I'm damaged goods.

(CLEARS THROAT)

All I ever wanted
was a dad that cared,

wanted to be there for me
and loved me.

But not having him
around made me feel rejected.

I feel like I've been the one that
has always chased a relationship...

and receive little back.

Eight years ago,
I returned back-back to the UK...

in the hope
of reconnecting with my dad.

Oh, god.

(SIGHS)

(BLEEP)

I hope he would've
picked up the phone.

Sorry, I can't actually
get the words out.

(SOBS)
Don't apologise.

(SOBS)
Don't apologise.

I hoped
he would've picked up the phone

or wanted to see me, but he didn't.

(EXHALES)

Being rejected by someone

who should have wanted to be there
may have broken me.

I worry that if I share
this information with someone,

I worry that if I share
this information with someone,

that they will not be there for me

when I need them to be because
of the fear of...

rejection.

So, I hope me telling you
this doesn't push you away

and it gives you a better
understanding of me as a person.

That was beautiful.

Thank you.

That was
really, really heartbreaking.

Yeah. I just, I couldn't imagine
that...and yeah, it's just awful.

Like I actually almost
wanted to cry for him,

but I just felt like
I had to be a bit stronger

in that situation to support him.

Yeah.

Like, I'm really grateful that
he shared all that stuff with me,

'cause I know how hard that was.

I'm not saying
that he's a bad person.

I'm not saying
that he's a bad person.

Yeah.

He just didn't know how to be a dad.

All a lad wants kind of
like grown up is that...

You just want your dad.
..father-son bond.

Yeah.

And but like, I missed out.

Yeah.

You don't have to worry
about that at all with me.

Thanks.

Appreciate you saying that.

It's true.

I'm-I'm not used
to someone being around

and to kind of be there
and understand.

I guess it makes me feel
that I don't know,

I'm-I'm-I'm not in this alone.

We're in this together.

I've got you.

(LIVELY STRINGS PLAY)

It's Confessions Week
and Awhina and Adrian

It's Confessions Week
and Awhina and Adrian

are about to start
their next task...

Wow. Interviews.

..where they will find out exactly

what the other asked for
in their audition video.

I'm also excited to see yours.

Yeah.
I don't even remember what I said.

Oh, really?
You don't remember at all?

Probably said a lot.
Who knows?

Yeah. I'm-I'm excited to see
what that lot was that you said.

I wanted to see
what he was after in a partner

and whether or not I lined
with that vice versa.

The pair hit a roadblock
on their honeymoon

The pair hit a roadblock
on their honeymoon

when Adrian's feelings about
being a potential step-father

to Awhina's son became evident.

And if I'm being 100% honest...

I don't know if I can love,
like, my kids as much as your kid.

My name's Adrian.

I'm from Sydney and I own
my own business e-Commerce.

I still believe
in the old school traditions.

You know, I wanna get married.

Because it's commitment,

Because it's commitment,

you know,
and marriage is a big thing

and I do believe in it.

Do you want kids?

Yeah, of course.

Would've had 'em yesterday.

Really?
Yeah.

Are you ready to be a dad?
Yeah, for sure.

Again, I feel like, I'm...

I think it's just frustrating

'cause, like,
we get along really well.

There is...there's
a physical attraction...

and I actually do think
he's a great guy.

and I actually do think
he's a great guy.

But I do have a six-year-old child.

And if I'm here pursuing this,

I need to know that the other person

on the other end's open
to the idea of me being a mum.

The only part of that

video is when we mention kids
and you're like,

"Yeah, I would've had
the kids yesterday."

It's like...

Yeah.

Because it's probably
why they matched us together.

I would look that
and be like someone's saying

I would look that
and be like someone's saying

they could have
had the kids yesterday

it's like someone saying
they're ready to be a dad now.

Yeah. I never said
I wasn't ready to be a dad.

(CHUCKLES)

I just said... I didn't say
I wanted to be someone else's dad.

And I didn't even say
I want someone else's kid.

And I made...

Could you stop using that language?

You're very like...

I'm just saying that you're not open
because I am a mum.

You're not actually open
to-to even letting me in, really.

You're not actually open
to-to even letting me in, really.

I told you from the start.

I literally told you
from the second night

that you said had a kid
that it was gonna be a problem.

Like we've parked it.

'Cause we said
when we get to know each other,

it could be something we're open to.

But the language
you're using right now,

is it's very like-like definite.

You know, like final.

It's not a small issue to me.
It's a big issue.

Something that means a lot to me.

And what you are saying
right now is a huge issue to me,

'cause it's kind of like...

Yeah, and I get that.

Yeah, and I get that.

I'd be... I mean,
I knew it from day one.

I didn't lie.
I didn't hide it to you.

I was open and honest.

And I've been very open with you.

How... what you are saying is...
I know and I agree.

Put walls up on me too.
Yeah, and I agree.

So, I just don't feel like you and I

are ever gonna get past
this surface level connection.

I feel angry, hurt, upset

'cause I'm not used to having
those confrontational conversations.

But I just feel like
I need to say my peace.

Why are you still here?

Because you don't want
someone with children.

Why are you still here?
You know what you want, Adrian.

Because I don't know
what I (INDISTINCT).

You know what you want.
I do.

You know what you want.
I do.

But now you don't know
what you don't know.

I do.
That makes no sense.

I know...I know I wanna be here.
You know what you want.

You don't what you want.
I know I want to be here.

OK. What... for what reason?

Because you don't want
someone with a child.

Do you see? Do you see?

Also have old-school traditions,
you know.

I do...
I come from a family under one roof.

So, that's important to me.

I'm trying to keep an open mind.
Yeah.

She ticks eight out of ten boxes.

So, that's what keeps me here.

And I do like her, you know,
and I think she likes me.

And I do like her, you know,
and I think she likes me.

But at the same time,
having kids is a beautiful thing.

I think it's a special moment
in everyone's life.

I will... I would like to have
that first with someone else first.

And that's...
I feel strongly about it.

It's hard.

Next.

That's a huge compliment,
big statement to make.

Yeah. I'm being honest.

Yeah. (CHUCKLES)

Jacqui's revenge.

(WHISTLES) That's big.

It's big.

No-one likes to be
in this situation with the ring on.

Like, you're married to me.

(MOODY PIANO PLAYS)

With husband Tim's return
still in doubt,

Katie has decided
to invite Ashleigh and Jamie over

for some much needed girl support.

It's not fun to be here alone.

So, I wanted to catch up with Ash
and Jamie and update them.

But the disastrous time
this has become.

(KNOCKS ON DOOR)

(CHUCKLES) Come in.

Hello. Hi!

(LAUGHTER)

Jamie! Ash!

Oh, my god.

I didn't think
I was gonna see you again.

I know. Oh, my god.

I've got have been so worried.

Charlie's Angels back together.

She's off.

She's off.
OK. So...

Oh, my god.
OK, tell me everything.

Tell me everything.
Oh, do.

I am dying to know
what the F is going on.

I am dying to know
what the F is going on.

How the bloody hell are ya?

What's happened
since the dinner party?

Has he come to this apartment?

No.

You have not seen him
at all since his dinner party?

No.

Oh!

Yeah. So...

Wait.
So, where the hell is your husband?

Yeah. So, where...

Well, long story short, like,
he's ghosted me back to...

Completely?
..Melbourne.

(GASPS)

He's totally gone back to Melbourne.

He's totally gone back to Melbourne.

He's left?

Yeah.

Don't even let me
get into this right now.

Like, imagine being
a 38 years old and ghosting.

He's a woosy-pussy.

This whole experience for me

has been a real life
Tinder swipe left...

Yeah.
..on me. (LAUGHS)

And I'm like just going, "Oh, shit."

That's just rubbish.
She deserves better than that.

Katie deserves
much better than that.

He didn't even give it a crack.

He didn't even give it a crack.

He didn't even give her a shot.

Hitting rock bottom, babe.
The only way is up now.

Yeah.

But at the end of the day,

I'm a true believer
everything comes for a reason.

And I think this is the last piece
you needed to remember who you are.

Yeah.
What you can offer...

Yeah.
..to meet the most amazing person.

Yeah.

You honestly will be
stronger for it.

Yeah.

I said in my vows, like,

it's not how you fall
or if you fall that matters.

It's how you get back up.

100%.

So, up onwards and upwards for me.

So, up onwards and upwards for me.

It's not
the end of your story, babe.

Yeah. You are on the up for sure.

You can get up...
Climb back up on my throne.

Yeah. Raise the whole goddamn fire.

Yes.
And slay.

And get on your throne.
Killing it.

(LAUGHS) What I've been
through with Tim

has been an epic failure.

However, I've learned
a lot about myself.

I've learned that I'm strong
and I'm powerful

and I'm worthy
and I can get back up.

Ah! (LAUGHS)

Ah! (LAUGHS)

No knocking me now, mother (BLEEP).

Cheers to that.

(LAUGHS)

(KNOCKS ON DOOR)

Well, well, well.
Come on. Gimme the gossip.

With the experiment
in its 12th season,

the experts have raised the stakes

by introducing a brand new task
to Confessions Week.

I'm nervous.

It's another letter.

It's another letter.

The ex-files task is a world first
for the experiment.

This is...this is heavy.
Oh.

There's-there's like...
there's a lot of stuff in there.

OK, let me see. Let me see.

It's not just a normal letter.

No, I don't think so.
OK.

We have introduced
a new task to Confessions Week,

which asks our couples to be open
about their ex-partners.

Understanding ex-partners
and past relationships

can help new partners
get a better idea of their spouses.

However, they can also be
an insecurity

for couples
early on in a relationship.

for couples
early on in a relationship.

What have you learned about
yourself from dating your ex?

I think what I've learned
about myself is

I don't trust my gut often enough.

I remember I was seeing this guy

and he was like
an athlete kind of thing

and he was in-in Australia
playing sport.

But I just had this, like,
feeling in the back of my mind

that something wasn't right.

But turns out he actually had like
a missus

and a kid back
from the country he was from.

(BLEEP) Crazy.

(BLEEP) Crazy.

(LAUGHS) Did you have
a healthy sex life with your ex?

Oh, OK.
Why? Or why not?

Yeah. No, I had a healthy...

Yeah, OK.
..sex life relationship.

Yeah. OK.
Yeah, I had a very healthy one.

Um...

Yeah.

(LAUGHS)

If you-if you could do it

anywhere other than a bed...
Uhuh.

..or you wanna try somewhere,
where would it be?

In here, wear a bloody sexy outfit,

I'll grab you,
I'll lift you up,

I'll grab you,
I'll lift you up,

I'll put you down
right on the table

and then I'd rip
your clothes off you

and then that's-
you know what I mean? Like that's...

That's the kind of things
that I like.

I like it very spo-
Like spontaneous.

Exactly.
I like it very spontaneous.

I know. I love that. Thank gosh.

Across the hall,

Jacqui is coming to the ex-files
task still feeling rejected,

after Ryan ranked her third
in the photo ranking task.

I found that tough to go through.

I found that tough to go through.

He'd hurt my feelings a little bit.

"You must ask your match
some hard hitting questions

about their ex's past relationships.

It can help new partners
get a better idea of their spouses.

However, they can also be
an insecurity

for couples early on
in a relationship.

Be vulnerable, brave,
and let your partner in.

The experts."

Wow, this is great.

Wow, this is great.

After that challenge yesterday,

I don't feel reserved
in being honest with him today

and just laying it out there.

So, we'll see
how he likes brutal honesty.

(ENERGETIC STRINGS PLAY)

Jacqui is using the ex-files task

Jacqui is using the ex-files task

as an opportunity to get
just as honest with Ryan

as he was with her
in the photo ranking task.

Alright, I'm ready.

I'm ready.

Well, we've got some questions here.

Alright, let's do it.

OK, first one, what have you learned

about yourself from dating your ex?

What have I learned about myself?
Yeah.

I've learned that,
um, love isn't everything.

Passion can be confused with... um,

Passion can be confused with... um,

like you-you can get
so caught up in it

that you lose sight of like
what's actually healthy.

OK. Can you physically
describe your ex to me?

Like 6'4", tall...

blonde, blue eyes, god-like body.

(SIGHS)

Yeah, I'm being honest. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm being honest. Yeah.

What if I said to you
that my ex had a god-like body?

I wouldn't be surprised.

It's a massive compliment
to someone who is in your past.

So...

To say they had a god-like body?

Yeah, that's a huge compliment.

Big statement to make.

You know, like better body
than yours or whatever, you know.

I didn't say
he-he a had better body than yours.

I know, but like the way
you said it,

like god-like is very like
elite compliment.

I'm just being honest.

It lacks class, I think.

You know, like
you're sitting with someone

who you're trying
to build a connection with

and you're blowing up is 6'4",
you know, like the god-like body.

That's a dumb answer.

That's a dumb answer.

I'm not blonde, I'm not 6'4".

I mean, like what chance

does any guy have
against this-this ideal

picture in someone's head?

He's... so, every guy after him
probably had like

an impossible standard
to measure up to, hey.

Well, he is
in a different continent.

Like...

Like...

Not very reassuring.

Well, what do you want me to say?

I think she's got some
definite growing to do in terms of

considering where I'm coming from.

Considering my feelings.

Yeah. Alright, next one.

If your ex proposed
while you were together,

would you have said yes?

Yes.

(WHISTLES) That's big.

That's big.

Maybe you should fly over there
and catch up with him.

Maybe you should fly over there
and catch up with him.

No-one likes to be in this situation
with the ring on

and hear you're attracted
to your ex still.

And you would've married him.

Like, you're married to me.

Six months with this guy and you,
if he proposed after six months,

you would've said yes?

Yeah.
(SIGHS)

Today, I wanted
to piss Ryan off a little bit.

(LAUGHS)

I really wanted to get
under his skin,

be like, this is what I got.

Can you match up?

No, you can't.

Next time...

The most shocking photo ranking...

Her face screamed like,

"I could like stab you
in your sleep."

..in this year's experiment.

That was appalling.

How dare you say
these unhinged things

about the gorgeous women?

As Confessions Week continues...

(CHUCKLES) I really like it.

You know, she makes me laugh.

..deeper connections are formed.

He's open and vulnerable
and letting his walls down.

He's open and vulnerable
and letting his walls down.

You-you didn't write
a letter at all?

No.

Tensions boil over.

Don't 'end of' me.

Don't 'end of' me.
There's nothing more.

Why is Adrian refusing
to complete a specific task?

What if I say
I've seen your application?

Um...

I do get this feeling that

Adrian's keeping me
something from me.
