Original subtitles

the end of a 21-day island experience

delivered love stories.

I don't care that it's only been three weeks,

'cause I'm falling in love with you.

I never would have thought coming to this experience

I'd be leaving in love.

No, me either.

I can't believe I'm delivering my Final Promises

to the notorious Man Bun Salmon Jacket.

I promise that this is the start of our story.

Yay! (CHUCKLE)

I feel like I finally got my happily ever after.

But not everyone found their happy ending.

I know this is hard to hear,

but trust me, it's even harder to say.

I can't promise to continue

this romantic relationship with you after this.

(TEARFULLY) It's like rejection hurts.

That's what I was fearful of and it happened.

I deserve

to be with someone who knows without a shadow of a doubt

that they want me,

and I won't settle for anything less.

I walked away from something that wasn't right for me.

And I walked away from somebody that wasn't going to give me

what I deserve.

And Chad made a devastating decision.

I came looking for love,

the whole package, and it happened.

I love Georgia.

I love her a lot, but...

(SIGHS)

today I can't give her that fairy tale ending.

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Georgia and Chad are the final couple

to make a decision

about the future of their relationship.

And after 24 hours apart,

Chad has come to a heart-breaking realisation.

I've fallen for Georgia.

I see it now.

I know that she's going to be

wanting to continue this experience

out of the island

and into our natural habitat.

And...

what she doesn't know is the true reality of my life.

My sister was born with special needs,

and the care that she requires

is very extensive and it is a lifelong commitment.

There are gonna be struggles that Georgia cannot comprehend.

That's why I've decided to set her free.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I have fallen for Chad, so, I know where I stand.

But I've been left at the altar once

so, I'm feeling very nervous

to put my heart on the line again.

If Chad walked away from this relationship...

I could be heartbroken again.

(CHUCKLES) Mm.

Give me a hug.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

So, good to see you.

Good to see you. (CHUCKLES)

Looking very handsome.

Thank you. You're looking very beautiful.

Thank you.

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(SIGHS) You ready? Yeah, and you?

Mm-hmm. (SIGHS)

To my darling Chad, the big malolo.

(LAUGHTER)

I came into this experience

hoping to find love.

I've had to overcome my past heartbreak

and renew my trust in others

to be able to be here with you today.

I never thought I could find someone

I love being around 24-7...

someone who was as kind and patient as you are,

even in the most testing of times.

I never thought I could find someone

who would make me laugh every day like you do.

I don't kno what the future has in store for us,

but I promise to be as committed to you at home

as I have been on our paradise island.

I can't wait to start our next adventure together.

Chad, I love you.

(SNIFFS EMOTIONALLY)

(SIGHS)

To my wife, Georgia.

(CHUCKLES)

I entered this experience to find my soulmate,

true love, and partner in crime.

(CHUCKLES)

However,

when it came to writing my Final Promises,

there is something I must tell you first.

In life, my absolute duty

and responsibility is devoted to my mum and sister.

And with the inevitable reality

that my mum's time is finite,

I need to consider my future seriously.

It's true,

I struggle with commitment to a romantic partner

because my unwavering commitment is to my mum and sister.

And when the day comes that my mum is no longer with me,

that is when I will step into her shoes

to take over my sister's management.

She has done it all alone

and this is the only way I ever imagined doing it, alone.

The reality of my life punches a lot harder.

You're yet to see just how involved and committed

one needs to be caring for my sister.

This is a huge commitment, not only for me,

but also my potential life partner.

So, I want to let you know

that you have an out.

(SNIFFS TEARFULLY)

(SIGHS)

You're not locked in,

and I need to say this to you now...

because this matter alone could make or break us,

and I need you to think about it seriously.

But...

if you choose me and everything I come with...

this is my promise to you.

I promise to love you

and everything that makes you, you.

Yet, I will understand if you choose not to take me

and all that I come with.

Georgia, I love you.

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

I just want to acknowledge what you've said first.

And I do choose you and all that you come with.

There was never any doubt.

I pictured that that would just be a given anyway,

before he even said to me.

Hey, hubby. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. (CHUCKLES)

To have someone who's willing to go on that journey with me

means a lot.

Now, we've got to get into a hotel room.

(LAUGHTER) (CHEERFUL MUSIC)

As Georgia and Chad make a beeline

for the nearest hotel room,

the sun is going down

on a revolutionary dating experience.

21 days ago,

12 brave Aussie singles ventured into the middle of the Pacific Ocean

thousands of miles from the nearest hot shower

to get married and stranded on Honeymoon Island.

(WATER SPLASHES)

Today, back on the mainland,

they've shaken off the sand and glammed up

for a Reunion Couples' Cove.

One last island gathering to find out who stayed together

and whose relationship got lost at sea.

Yep, the honeymoon is finally over.

But the reunion starts now.

Ooh! This is nice.

So, romantic.

As it should be.

Feels good to have found what we were looking for.

I think we both came in with a similar mindset.

Mm.

We were both not sure if it would work.

But here we are.

Finding love. Yeah.

Astounded that we are here

and it worked.

We found it. It's been found.

It's been a week

since our castaways last saw each other at Couples' Cove.

And they have no idea who's still together and who's not.

Let's stand here so we can peruse who walks in solo...

Yeah. ..and who walks in together.

Look, we're not here to rub our success

in anyone's faces, but...

No, no.

..we're here to rub our success in everyone's faces.

Hey! Hey!

Hi!

Look at this! Hello.

Hello, oh, my god!

Welcome to our humble abode! How are you guys?

OK, are you guys still married?

What's the go? Yeah!

Of course! Congratulations!

How are you? Good to see you.

Look at you two walking in holding hands.

Hello! How are you my brother?

Good to see you. You look beautiful.

You look beautiful! What's happening?

How nice is having clothes? I know, right?

It's so nice to be walking in

feeling like a united front.

It's been a unique and challenging journey,

but I feel like I finally got my happily ever after.

And how'd you guys go?

I said I loved her.

Oh, what, what? Yeah.

You guys are in love? Well done!

Yeah. Oh, my god! So are we!

(LAUGHS) Yeah.

He hasn't...he hasn't said it back but I feel it.

(LAUGHS) He hasn't said it back. Ah! He hasn't said it back!

Guys, cheers to love.

(GLASSES CLINK) Cheers to love.

You're not allowed to cheers.

(LAUGHTER) What?

Cheers to love! Cheers to love.

(LAUGHTER)

Um, OK, so who do we think is not together?

Obviously, we hope Jess walks in alone.

I would argue... Totally.

..that he probably got up there and was like,

"I really want to see where this goes on the outside."

Like, I can't imagine him admitting defeat...

Yep.

..and saying, "Look, this isn't working.

"You deserve better." He's never gonna say that.

And if he was, he would have pulled the flare like Mike...

Exactly. ..and the right reason.

He would have tapped out weeks ago. Yeah.

But he doesn't have the balls to.

The most talked about couple in the experience

was Jess and Sam thanks to the drama

that surrounded the pair at nearly every Couples' Cove.

Sam, do you want to talk about this right now?

No! I want to have a conversation with you privately.

Are you (BLEEP) deaf, mate? Like, seriously.

I'll talk like a man to you.

I'm not asking for your opinion, Amy, and it's no offence.

Jesus, (BLEEP) kettle calling the pot black there, Amy.

Kettle calling the pot black? Oh, shut up, Jesus Christ.

Oh, my god, this is why I didn't want to come to this shit.

Look, he is emotionally reactive, and...

Is he like that one on one with you?

No.

This is actually my fault.

I don't feel like you need to apologise though.

You don't...you don't need to apologise.

Why are you apologising?

I asked so many times what were the fights about

and Jess would not go there.

Her-her versions of things are so...

Different. ..different.

Yeah. Yeah.

And trying to get those actual stories

out of her of those arguments is tough.

Especially in a group environment, she's not...

She's-she's never told me what happened to those arguments

'cause she's protecting him.

Exactly. She's a great wife.

That's what you... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

She has actually leaned into the experience.

Yeah, she has. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The thing is, you're so isolated on the island.

As soon as you get an outsider's perspective,

it can make things much clearer.

Maybe she has finally seen through it and maybe she left him.

I hope so. That's what I'm hoping for.

I hope she has. I hope she... I know...

I'm not... I'm not...

I-I believe that Sam will definitely try

to paint it whatever because I believe that...

He's-he's gonna hold on... Yeah.

..by the skin of his teeth until the end.

Totally.

I hope that Jess has finally seen through it,

and if that's what's happened,

I'll be there to back her all the way.

I've supported her, I'm a girl's girl,

I'll speak up and call out bad behaviour,

and today will be no different.

But hey, it's the last day of school today.

Yes! (LAUGHS)

So, do we think we'll be, uh, seeing any ghosts

from the past today?

I think...I think the ghost of Mike might pull up.

Nah, the ghost of Mike will pull up. You'll be alright.

You'll be good.

I'm definitely preparing to bump into my ex.

I think Mike will make one final appearance.

I also think that we might see Em and Tom today.

Well, Amy, you're bang on.

Mike,

Tom and Emily are all back in the South Pacific

and on their way to today's reunion.

And Emily is packing a bombshell.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC) I'm quite nervous to see Tom again.

Obviously the last time we spoke it was really emotional.

(FLARE HISSES)

I wanna quit.

I can't do this anymore.

I can't fight for someone anymore who wasn't gonna fight for me.

It's a really crappy feeling knowing that

I have been single seven years.

This was almost like

a last resort for me.

And he ripped that away from me right from the start.

Firstly, he tells me

there's a secret girlfriend on the outside.

But, he lied.

Being on the island made me pani and just blurt this thing out to you

as a way of avoiding the intimacy part.

He had one foot out the door the entire time,

and unfortunately, since going home,

I've discovered a few new things.

Everything makes sense now.

I understand why he couldn't commit.

I understand why he never had feelings.

There is a lot of dirty laundry to air.

I'm going in to make sure that every single person

at that final party

knows the exact facts.

Nobody has seen Emily since she left Honeymoon Island

halfway through the experience.

Nobody even knows that it was her that pulled the flare,

ending her relationship with Tom.

(EXCLAIM) Yeah!

I'm back!

Welcome back! You're back!

Oh, my god, I'm so happy.

(EXCLAIM) She's back!

Yay! Who flared?

Tell me now. I'm gonna tell you all together.

Oh, my god! Come on, come on, come on.

This is Em! Hello!

Hi! Oh, my god! Welcome.

Dude, dude, look.

So nice to see you. He's-he's...

Man Bun Salmon Jacket is here!

What the hell? I go by Haydn these days.

Haydn, OK. (LAUGHTER)

Oh, my god!

OK, I topped you right up.

Thanks, darl. Now, spill the god damn beans!

So...

I flared.

(SQUEALS) Yeah!

Power to you. Power to you, girl. My queen!

Good! No, don't stand for that shit. That's your power.

You take your power back. Thank you!

You take that power back. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Cheers.

So, there's some dirty laundry I need to air.

Air that shit. Oh, please tell me!

Tell me, tell me. Please air that out.

Yes, yes, yes.

So, I'm surprised we've only had

one little guest from the speed dating.

What? Has he...he has been talking to someone from the speed dating?

Oh, not just one.

What? Oh!

He's talking to people from the speed dating?

What? How many?

There's two girls.

What? Whoa!

One messaged me within half an hour

of having our phones back...

What? ..and said, "Tom's smitten."

Yo! I will... Oh, god, guys!

Wait, wait, wait. So, when did he build this, like...

Oh, between the speed dating and leaving for the island.

Whoa!

Within 30 minutes of me having my phone back,

I received a message from two girls from the speed dating

who told me Tom was smitten with them

even before the wedding.

I am pissed off.

I came into this experience with my heart open,

ready to find love.

And he robbed that from me the second he said, "I do".

This man has a roster and I'm off it.

This man has upset women and we are coming for him!

Don't say "I do"

if you've got two girls on the outside.

Don't commit to this whole thing if your brain is elsewhere.

The only title he needs is (BLEEP) boy.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

So, there's some dirty laundry I need to air.

Air that shit. Oh, please do.

Tell me, tell me. Please air that out.

Yes, yes, yes!

So, I'm surprised we've only had one little guest

from the speed dating.

What?

Has he-he... Has he been talking to someone from the speed dating?

Oh, not just one.

Oh! What?

He's talking to people from the speed dating.

What? How many?

There's two girls.

What? Whoa!

One messaged me within half an hour of having our phones back.

What? And said, "Tom's smitten."

Oh! I will... Oh, god, guys!

Wait, wait, wait! So, when did he build this, like...

Oh, between the speed dating and leaving for the island.

Whoa!

Thank god you flared out.

Thank you. Yeah, good on you. Good on you.

Is he coming?

I don't know. That is shit!

I think he is going to shit himself

because he knows that I'll be here.

Yeah, and so will I.

I have got my revenge dress on.

I don't need no man like Tom.

Actually, he's not even a man, he's a boy.

Tom is gonna be berated at the table,

once again.

And this time, I don't have his back.

This one's on you, mate.

Is there anything you feel like you need from him?

Like... I don't need anything.

Nothing. I need to tell him that he's a pig.

(COUPLES CHEER)

Hey!

(COUPLES APPLAUD) Hello.

Congratulations! (OVERLAPPING CHATTER)

Hello. Welcome, welcome.

Yeah, no, you're married, right? Yeah.

(CHUCKLES) It's... Aw, congrats.

Feeling very lucky to have come to this experience and found love.

Some journeys have been rocky,

some journeys haven't been.

(SQUEAL)

I'm so happy you guys are together!

(SQUEALS)

Today, we can all get together and just spread the love.

Good plan. (CHUCKLES)

We're happy! I know!

We're so happy!

Oh, my god, Georgia, you guys are so cute.

Yeah, you're glowing.

Are you guys in love?

Well, so he said his beautiful vows.

And then he said he has his mum and his sister

and his sister has special needs that need to be met...

Mm, yep.

..and he's saying when my mum, when her time is eventually up,

That's his job. ..that that's gonna be his role.

Yeah.

And then he said if you want an out, I'll give you one.

And then he started crying and then he said I love you.

Aw, no. Aww!

I know!

And I was... And then I said to him like,

that-that was a...that was a given,

the thought even when I'll to be with you...

Oh, my god.

..that's-that's a given.

No matter what your baggage is... Yeah.

..if it's the right person, you can get through anything...

Yeah.

..and-and you will be happy to take on anything.

That would not even cross your mind as a barrier.

It didn't even cross my mind.

And then I told him I loved him too.

Aww! Yay!

I know.

So... That's so sweet!

Oh, yes! Oh, I'm so happy for you guys.

So happy for you. It was a beautiful day.

Feels amazing

but almost feel a little bit bad saying it...

Yeah, correct. ..you know.

Given the present company

that not everyone's sort of had the same experience,

we're kind of dumbing down a little bit...

Yeah.

..and just sort of just flying underneath the radar.

But, um, it's going to be interesting to see

who walks in hand in hand.

I never thought I'd be walking in alone.

I thought Byron and I left the island in the best place

we've ever been in.

I left thinking that we're on the same page,

and I genuinely meant everything that I said in my promises.

Today, I'm putting my heart on my sleeve.

Byron, I do really like you.

I know I was meant to meet you,

and we were meant to go through this experience together.

So, I stand before you now,

saying yes to continuing this crazy journey.

I never let my wall down,

and first time that I do,

like it comes back in my face.

Brie, I'm sorry this wasn't our fairy tale ending.

My Final Promises weren't being like,

let's get married, let's have kids.

I just wanted to be open to trying

because we've had such a great three weeks

and we seem to be in such a great place.

And then he kind of came out of nowhere

and was like, nah, we're done.

I don't know him right now.

I don't understand the last three weeks.

Why was he kissing me in the ocean up until the last minute

if he's got all these concerns that I wasn't aware about?

Yeah, I let him get off yesterday a little too easy

because I was kind of shocked

and I kind of put my wall up straight away

and I kind of went into protection mode

and didn't want to cry in front of him.

But, now I'm angry.

Byron hurt me and today I want him to know it.

Hey!

Oh! Hey!

Oh! Brie in the building!

(GASPS) Babe!

Oh, my god!

How are you?

Hello, hey, give me a hug. Hey, you alright?

Yep. You OK?

Come and hug your brothers.

(TEARFULLY) Hi.

(EMOTIONALLY) I missed you.

(TEARFULLY) I missed you so much.

Are you OK?

(CHUCKLES) You-you need to be OK first.

No, you, are... You need to be OK first.

(CHUCKLES) No.

I'm really sad to see Byron and Brie break up.

You know, they were such a strong couple

from what I saw.

From everything she's told me, they were such a strong couple,

so, I'm really sad for Brie.

She was really dedicated to him in this whole experience.

Yeah, I'm-I'm genuinely surprised that they did not make it through.

So, yeah, I needed to talk to you so badly.

Oh, my god, I've been desperate to talk to you.

I've been dying to talk to you.

OK. OK, just deep breath. So, basically...

Sip of wine.

Yep. Then start.

You've got this.

Yeah, so basically, we have a new name for a Byron.

It's Bullshit Byron.

Oh.

OK.

Yeah.

Did you go into the promises expecting to walk away as a couple?

I thought we were going... Yeah.

I thought we were going to go...

To be honest, in my promises, I was promising...

Oh, honey. ..that I was just going to try.

Because I've never been hurt before and I've never let my wall down.

Yeah, I know.

And this is the first time it happened and I got hurt.

And I'm pissed off. Look...

I'm pissed off.

I feel like I've questioned how genuine he has been.

Yep.

I genuinely thought that you guys would be on the same page.

We were.

Why was he kissing me on the beach up until the last minute?

Yeah.

Why was that happening if-if he had this many concerns?

He's scared of conflict,

so, he decided to play happy couples and lead me on

Yeah. Yeah.

Well, the kissing and stuff,

that's weird if you're kind of not in...

We had sex.

Oh. OK.

He has played a nice guy,

and I don't know who Byron is right now.

I was totally blindsided, and then I just got mad.

How do you feel about seeing him today?

I don't want to see him...

Yeah. ..and I will be talking to him.

He led me on.

Hardcore.

I just feel like this whole three weeks

of experience is kind of, like, I don't understand.

I-I need clarity.

He needs to be accountable for how he made me feel yesterday.

Hey!

Oh, oh! Hey.

Oi! Ahoy! Who is it? Who is it? Who is it?

It's Bullshit Byron.

I need to come give you an early hug.

How are ya? Love you.

Byron doesn't want conflict.

Wants to play a fun little game of happy couples,

and then hurts the person at the end.

Well, today, babe, guess what?

It's coming for you.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Hey!

Oh, oh! Hey!

Wait. Who is it? Who is it? Who is it?

It's Bullshit Byron?

I need to come give you an early hug.

How are ya? Love you.

Love you too.

He doesn't know that I'm upset, by the way.

He doesn't know that I'm pissed.

How are you, mate? You right? (LAUGHTER)

It does feel really weird

kind of entering without Brie by my side.

You know, she was my partner through this all.

Yeah, we left things quite positive and...

Yeah, I hope Brie and I can share a beer or a wine today

and have a laugh about our-our chicken Boris

and that'll make my day.

Yeah. And then...

As soon as I got there I was like, (BLEEP) take this shit off.

Mm. ..guy's charisma.

Should I say hello quickly?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. (CHUCKLES)

Um, incoming.

Hey ladies.

Hey mate. Hey.

How are we? Hello.

You all look very gorgeous.

That would be a hard hello.

I-I kind of want to see it.

Hey, beautiful. How are you?

Byron is acting like everything's OK

and that yesterday wasn't a big deal to me

and that he thinks I'm gonna be all happy and sunshine.

Have some boy time...

OK. ..we'll have our girl time.

It's-it's not what people do after they break up,

that I thought, I don't know.

My first impression of you is like, so different to who you...

Do you know what a breakup is?

What do you... what do you want from me?

Seems very tense over there.

(TENSE MUSIC) No, you're alright.

You're alright.

Oh, man, you can only be honest.

That's it, bro.

After yesterday, I thought everything was OK,

you know, and...

we'd seen each other's views on this whole experience.

But then when I said hi to Brie, you know, I could feel the tension.

I, you know, I-I felt the ice.

I mean, I just, I just felt like there was just, um,

a big piece missing.

I just wasn't getting that feeling.

I never want to leave

a situation where I feel like I'm in a negative light.

I'll see yas later.

This whole experience is about being honest

and what's inside and, you know, I needed to have the opportunity

to pull Brie aside and say what's going on,

you know, tell me how you actually feel.

Do you mind if I steal Brie for a hot minute?

It's up to you, but yeah, I just want to have some...

OK. ..chill words.

How far are we going?

Uh, just over the corner. Right.

I have the highest respect for Brie

and I have a lot of feelings for Brie

and I wanted to kind of patch it up.

I wanted to let her know where I was at

and where was she was at.

Right.

You wanted to tell... How... Yeah.

Um...

But I don't know, I feel like when I walked in there, like,

I felt like it was a bit icy.

Yeah, not gonna lie, Byron, I'm-I'm kind of upset...

and pretty blindsided.

Because you had so many chances to bring up your doubts with me...

and you didn't.

I thought we were on the same page.

I thought what we had was, like, amazing.

But why-why was it the first time that I heard all of this yesterday?

(TENSE MUSIC)

There was just flags

that I just couldn't get out of my head.

You can't tell me how to feel.

I had a chance to sit down

and pour out my heart on paper for the first time in three weeks,

and you're accusing me of lying to you over three weeks?

I'm not saying... Like, any... Like, I'm like...

everything you said on the promises,

it's not...it's not about what you said in the promises.

It's about how, leading up to it,

there was no signs that you had any doubts with me.

I'm... I was not prepared.

Why were you kissing me up until the last minute

if you didn't see us being together?

I feel like you led me on Byron.

I don't think you were genuine and it hurt me.

I put my wall down for the first time and it hurt me.

Like, I'm now just questioning the last three weeks

and that's been really hard.

I... And you think I'm not hurt?

I...I...I hear that you're hurt, and I...

that was the last thing I wanted to do in this whole thing.

I think...

I never wanted to hurt you.

Everything I felt was real, Brie.

And I wanted to kiss you 'cause that's how I felt.

I did want to kiss you.

I like... What happened on that island was all real.

Those... I can't fake those emotions.

I care about you a lot.

The issue is, I can't also lie.

There is gut feelings that feel like there is something missing.

And I was pacing the whole time writing those things.

And I was trying to figure out what's going on.

Not everyone is meant to be.

The same... I can't fake feelings

and I can't... I want to love so...

I want to love someone with all my heart.

And I don't think it's fair if I can't do that with you.

It was huge of me what I did yesterday

and let my wall down and I think...

like, I-I have been hurt.

It's... Hon... Honest, Brie,

it's-it's all warranted and I get it.

And like, you know what?

If you weren't upset like this,

I would feel like I have let you down

because I haven't shown you everything.

And I don't want this to be rocky because...

No.

..I obviously think the world of you.

And the words you spoke yesterday,

I-I don't think anyone's spoken those words to me in my life.

And it meant the world to me.

Like, after hearing you say that stuff,

I wanted to rip up all those pages,

but that's not fair on either of us.

I know.

I think I just, like, didn't want it to just come to an end.

Because I did like you.

I still do like you.

You are well and truly good enough, if not way better than me

in so many different ways.

I just wanted to be honest with you

Yeah.

..and let you know where my heart and head were.

I know.

All those feelings I felt for you are all still there.

And it means the world to me that you did bring those walls down.

It means the world to me that you were able to be comfortable

enough with me.

After speaking with Byron,

I feel like he did validate my feelings and why I was hurt.

I feel like he did give me that reassurance that

it has been a positive experience and that he has been genuine.

The growth we had together, I'll never forget that.

Yeah. You've taught me so much.

I knew he always cared.

Yeah, it's been...it's been good and I'm feeling a lot better.

There's a lot of different ways to love

and I love you so much.

Yeah.

But you deserve to be loved...

I know. ..for everything.

And that guy's going to be really lucky.

And if you don't keep me in the loop, I'll be so angry.

Come here.

I have learnt so much from Byron. Hey.

I have learnt so much from this experience

and I have learnt so much from the Final Promises.

I feel really positive and excited about where I'm going

and who I'm finding and...yeah.

And how me and Byron are going to continue our friendship.

Coming up next...

(TENSE MUSIC) Oh!

(GROOM APPLAUDS) Oh, my god.

My gut just dropped. I feel sick for you.

Yeah.

Emily unpacks Tom's dirty laundry.

Obviously I'm aware of the other girls.

They have reached out to me.

If Emily's going to open up this can of worms,

then, you know, I might have to open up what I know.

The Reunion Couples' Cove is well underway.

Does anyone need a top up?

Yeah. Yes, please.

And everybody is wondering about the fate of the experience's

most unpredictable couple.

So, Sam and Jess, predictions.

Um, I don't think they're coming in together.

They're not coming in together.

I don't know, I have a feeling that they may come in together.

Oh, what? Do you?

I will be very disappointed.

Really? Yeah.

I'm convinced they won't.

I actually thought he was going to pull a flare.

Sam does not have the balls or gumption to pull a flare.

Totally. You know what?

If they're together and happy,

I'll admit defeat, and you know what?

Sometimes you can be wrong.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I gave everything to Sam

and to the experience.

It may have taken me a little while to work it out,

but in the end

I walked away from something that wasn't right for me

and I walked away from somebody

that wasn't going to give me what I deserve.

I made the right decision.

Sam, you made me feel small

and I can't tell you how much I regret letting that happen.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity,

and whether you know it or not,

I am a once in a lifetime opportunity type of woman.

It pains me to say this,

but you fumbled the bag.

In your heart of hearts, you know that-that's the truth.

Sorry, I couldn't be what you wanted.

Today, I can see Sam

for exactly who he is.

That girl on the island is gone.

I feel like a brand new woman.

I'm back, baby.

Guys.

Hola. Hey.

Hey! Hola.

Well, there you go. There is our answer.

You look beautiful.

You look amazing.

She looks amazing. She does.

I've got a feeling

Jess has finally seen the light.

My heart is racing.

So, I just can't wait to get all the goss.

I'm back, baby. I'm back.

You're back. She's back.

I love this. I love this! She's back.

The energy is back.

Hold up! We need our girl over here!

Yeah.

Bring her over!

Jess Best Dressed is your new nickname.

Yeah! Yeah!

Jess Best Dressed. (CHEERFUL MUSIC)

It's horrible going into this last event

not with someone on my arm,

particularly when I gave it so much energy and so much time.

Jess is in the middle. Jess in the middle.

But I've gained something even better,

I know who I am I've re-found myself and I know even more clearl

what I need and what I want,

and I won't settle for anything less.

I mean...

what do you think I said based on the outfit?

Um, that you're hottest... (LAUGHTER)

Better have been (BLEEP) you!

I said I deserve to be with someone who knows...

You let him down? Yes.

(GASPS) Yeah. Who knows my value.

Yeah, you did.

And I won't settle for anything less.

Yeah. Good girl, girly!

Yes! Yes, girl!

The girls certainly caught Sam's behaviour early,

but I needed to go through the experience my own way.

I need to make my own mistakes and learn from them.

But yeah, to know that the girls have my back

feels really empowering.

What was the moment that you realised?

What was it? Yeah.

When, um, we had visitors, my gay husband came over,

and we sat down and he's like, you're not yourself.

He's just like, I feel like... We saw that, yeah.

We saw. Yeah, I'm sorry.

Was like... Sorry, no, no, no, no.

Please don't apologise. I need to hear...

Don't apologise. Don't apologies.

Don't apologise.

He's just like, you're not yourself.

Like, you... Like, your-your shine's been dimmed.

And like, it sucks that I had to get to this point

but I couldn't say yes, like, for myself, but also for...

all other women.

Like, you can't... Mm.

Like, you can't... You can't settle for less.

Yep, babe.

But you know, I commend you for giving it a real red hot...

You tried. ..(BLEEP) go.

You tried. You were in it and he wasn't.

Oh, Jess is so empowering

and inspiring.

She's got her light back,

and I am so proud of her.

(BRIDES CHEERS) Cheers to girls!

(GLASSES CLINK) OK, is Tom coming?

You know what's so funny, Sam's favourite guy was Tom.

Oh! Birds of a feather...

I can't wait to grill him again.

I've missed grilling Tom.

Do you want to hear the best part?

What?

There's two more girls.

OK!

How did you know?

They contacted me.

They're both from the speed dating.

Oh! Are they? Yeah!

Oh, no. From the speed dating.

Tom, Tom,

you cannot dig a bigger hole for yourself.

He went to speed dating and picked up three girls.

What were they wearing?

And then got married to one.

Here's some advice.

Don't do it with the girls from speed dating

because we're gonna find out.

I think what's the most disappointing is...

Oh!

..I never got a fair go.

Oh!

What a shock! Hello.

(QUIETLY) Oh, my god, speaking of this.

Oh, here he is. Oh, wow.

Shit, shit, shit.

How you doing, Georgia?

Good, how are you? Yeah. Jess?

My gut just dropped. I feel sick for you.

Tom's sort of walked in quite nonchalant,

kind of like nothing's happened.

Boys! In the building.

How we doing? I'm good, bud. How are you?

He comes in like this cute little mouse.

Mate, you're a rat.

You're a stain, no-one wants to see it.

You look beautiful.

He looks like shit.

He reminds me of like a wet piece of toast.

(LAUGHS)

Who are we missing?

Ah, still people to come.

Well, there's your ex-wife over there.

You might like to say hello.

Hi, Thomas!

Hello.

There was plenty of times on the island

where I suppressed my emotions

to make sure that he was comfortable.

It's like watching a lamb go to slaughter.

Oh, bro.

So, tonight,

probably gonna be the first time in my life

where I actually stand up for myself

and you don't see a suppressed version of me.

You're gonna see the whole version.

You ever walked on landmines?

(LAUGHS) Yeah. Mm...

You're about to find out what.

Kaboom! Chaboom! (LAUGHS)

How you been?

Good.

Um...

So...

a lot has happened in the last few days.

Yeah.

Um...

and I wanted to chat to you first before obviously anything came up.

Mm-hmm.

Obviously, I'm aware of...

the other girls.

They have reached out to me.

Other girls?

OK.

The main thing

that I wanted to chat about...

Mm-hmm.

Was like,

why you did this whole experience if there was...

Other girls, supposedly, apparently.

Yeah. OK.

Um, well, there's not other girls.

So, I'm just, yeah, I'm-I'm very curious to see

what-what other girls there could be.

These girls are from the speed dating event.

Mm-hmm.

It's the biggest joke ever.

I don't have any girls on the outside.

Obviously, they've told me what they've told me.

It's just not a great look. Yeah, OK.

When, again, you've come here to be married,

you had one foot out the door the whole time.

I think she's bringing these girls up

to start some more drama

and-and fuel to the girls so they can, you know,

execute me at the dinner table, which I...

I'm fully prepared for.

But if Emily's going to open up this can of worms and gossip,

then, you know, I might have to open up what I know.

What's pissed me off is tha you didn't come into this experience

like everyone else.

Every...everybody here, they shut off...

Yeah.

..what was going on beforehand with exes and flings

and whatever there might be.

Everyone here?

Yes.

Everyone here?

So, no, um, you know...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

These girls are from the speed dating event.

Mm-hmm. OK, um,

well, there's not other girls.

It's just not a great look. Yeah, OK.

When, again, you've come here to be married,

you had one foot out the door the whole time.

I think she's bringing these girls up

to start some more drama

and-and fuel the girls so they can,

you know, execute me at the dinner table,

which I... I'm fully prepared for.

But if Emily's gonna open up this can of worms and gossip,

then, you know, I might have to open up what I know.

What's pissed me off is tha you didn't come into this experience

like everyone else.

Every... everybody here, they shut off...

Yeah.

..what was going on beforehand with exes and flings

and whatever there might be.

Everyone here?

Yes.

Everyone here?

Aww, you guys get...

No, we-we love each other.

Happy for Amy. Yeah, OK.

Emily and Man Bun,

um, I know that they used to date

because, yeah, she told me on the island.

So, no, um, you know...

Sorry?

Emily?

(LAUGHS) Just let it go.

No, she must know. No.

Does anyone know? No.

(CHUCKLES) No-one knows...

(CHUCKLES) No. But me?

I mean, that was regretful.

Interesting, OK.

It's a bit hypocritical

that Emily's kind of throwing me under the bus so hard

and bringing up all this stuff when she hasn't confessed to Amy,

who's supposedly her best friend, that, you know, her husband,

they used to date.

So, if Emily's gonna come for me,

then maybe I'll have to bring it to light.

Tom turned out to be an arsehole and we were right.

It's gonna be a roasting.

Guys, do you know what's so funny?

Mike doesn't look so bad anymore. No!

(LAUGHTER) I want Mike.

I can't wait to see Mike!

Do you think Mike will come? Yes!

Yeah, of course, he'll come! Really?

Em, Em... Nah, I think he'll come.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I'm back, baby. Yo!

(FLARE HISSES)

(BLEEP).

Dropped a bit of a bombshell when I left

and gave Amy an opportunity to find love

with what I think she thought the man of her dreams was.

Oh, my god, Mike.

It's all good.

No! I'm sorry.

No, no, it's fine. No.

I got everything I could have ever thought I wanted

and more out of this experience.

Yeah.

And this might now, be a new chapter

for your life moving forward.

I'd be lying if I said that I haven't thought about Ames

when I was away.

We had a lot of really good times together

and I'm curious to see how she's going with him.

But I'd be surprised

if anyone could make Ames laugh

as much as I did.

(LAUGHS) Yeah.

I don't know what she's going to say today,

but, you know, if she comes at me and tells me

that she made a mistake, that would be... a curveball.

(LAUGHTER)

I mean, maybe the door might not be closed.

Never say never.

Big man!

(COUPLES EXCLAIM) (CHEERFUL MUSIC)

Bah! (GROOM LAUGHS)

(CHATTER)

Hello. Oh, it's great Amy.

Hey. Good to see you.

So good to see you too. You too.

How are you? How are you?

I'm good. That's good.

Mike! Come here! I was waiting for two hours.

Aye, aye, aye, Mike, you still got them abs?

Bro, I do.

Yeah! Yeah.

Have you met him yet? No.

He does scrub up. Oh, here we go.

He is handsome. He is.

Yeah.

It's nice to see everyone again.

Guys, this is my ex-husband.

Bro.

Ames would be the person I want to see the most.

Bro, Mike. Nice to meet ya. Haydn.

Nice to meet you Haydn. (CHUCKLES)

Yeah, I'm just curious to see

if the grass is greener on the other side.

'Cause I believe the grass

is the greenest where you water it the best.

Hey, can we just cheers to Mike?

Mike the man!

To Mike the man!

(COUPLES APPLAUD)

Oh, the man needs a beer!

Yeah, look, I have wondered a few times

if Amy's thought about me when I left.

We had a lot of really good times together.

So...

yeah, I'm a little curious to see if she missed me.

I need a...I need a water.

Wait, does anyone else need anything?

Get me a water.

Surprised if he doesn't come.

He said...

You good? I'm good.

Did you miss the island?

Uh, yeah, there was heaps of things you looked back.

Did you miss me? You're a pain in the arse.

(LAUGHS) Of course.

There were small things.

There were small things. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The second you left, I started stressing out.

I was like, what if...

what if they get here and then I want Mike back?

Yeah! (LAUGHS)

And you'd be like, too late, mate. Later.

No... (LAUGHS) (CHUCKLES)

And I was like, picturing myself being like, "Mike!

"Mike! Get back here!"

So, how are you, good?

(LAUGHS) Everything going good?

Yeah, yeah, thank you.

You're welcome. Thank you.

Seems like it's going really well.

I would have loved if it was me, but, you know, it's OK.

That wasn't my destiny.

That's good. No, that's good.

Shit, I would have...I would have been gutted

if I went through that, left early and then it was like,

and then it was like terrible.

Yep. And then it was terrible.

I could have stay, at least gotten my, another tan, you know.

Tan. Tan. Yeah.

I had another absolutely pack to go.

(LAUGHS) Yeah, no, you only got just six.

There could have been eight. I know.

I meant what I said when I left. I was like, I...

You were the person I needed there. Yeah.

And we grew so much from each other to find our proper people.

You know, like, I pulled you up on a few things at the start,

and like, I saw the change in behaviour.

Yeah. And it was really great to see.

Give me a cuddle. I'm proud of you.

Well done.

Like you, thank you for doing what you did.

Alright. Yeah.

I truly appreciate it.

Nah, nah, it's good. Little cheers. Little cheers.

I look forward to meeting... What's his name again?

(CHUCKLES) Haydn. Haydn.

Of course, it hurts a little bit,

but sometimes you just have to put your emotions

and your feelings aside

when someone doesn't feel the same

and, you know, let them pursu something that they're really after.

I mean, at the end of the day,

like, it's nice to see

Ames have a smile on her dial, you know.

And it was super nice to see her with someone

who she really cares about.

There you go. Come on.

For Amy and Mike, there's no hard feelings,

but the same can't be said for our very last groom.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Coming into the final party today, I'm looking forward to it.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Jess's true colours.

I really am looking forward

to seeing if she's going to try

and pull a few women onside

and say that I was...

I was really making her feel

terrible throughout the experience.

At the end of the day,

it's all going to come out in the wash.

Do you feel like Sam's coming in today feeling like

he's got an alliance with anybody?

Um, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't turn up.

Mm.

Honestly.

I mean, I feel lik he's-he's walking into a lion's den.

I feel like a few of them,

they had it out for me since day one.

I'm ready for people to lunge and come at me as much as they like.

They weren't there. They weren't on our island.

They don't know what the experience was.

My story is my story. My truth is my truth.

I'm not going to be the punching bag today.

Yoo!

Sammy! (APPLAUD)

Hey! Hey!

Damn!

Oh. Good job, man.

(BLEEP). My stomach just dropped.

My stomach just like went...

Yeah, nice to see you, bro. You too.

Mate, come in here. Hello, how are we?

We do the hugs, man. Are you OK?

Ish.

(INHALES) Hey, you look (BLEEP) hot.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, you look (BLEEP) hot.

You don't have to do or say anything that you don't want to.

Seeing Sam today was difficult,

I'm not gonna lie.

After we exchanged promises, he was upset and defensive.

Yeah! I'm back.

Come on, bro.

How'd your tan get better since you've been gone?

How are you, brother?

Sam is critically aware

that he's going to have criticism thrown at him today

and I just hope for Sam that he listens to it and grows.

Let's see if he approaches us.

Let's just wait.

(LAUGHTER AND CHATTER)

Is he gonna (BLEEP) come over and say hello to you

or is he just gonna stand there?

Assume not.

(GROOMS CHATTER) Hi, hi, hi.

Oh, he's definitely not coming over.

That's the thing though, he rarely even like

looks around a room for me.

Mm, mm.

Even at...even at-at home,

like, I would enter the hut

and he would barely even look up, you know?

Like... Wow.

Barely acknowledge.

To not even acknowledge

that Jess was there,

it's like low blow, dude.

Like, come on.

Yeah.

What's he scared of? (CHUCKLES)

What... Yeah, what are you... what are you frightened of, Sam?

No. Come on over.

(CHUCKLES) Come sit right here.

Sam rolled in

and gave Jess the cold shoulder.

He didn't even acknowledge her.

And I think honestly,

it's because he knows he's going to be in the hot seat today.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Yoo!

Sammy! (APPLAUD)

Oh, yeah! Come!

Yay!

Damn!

Oh.

(BLEEP). My stomach just dropped.

My stomach just like went...

Seeing Sam today was difficult,

I'm not gonna lie.

After we exchanged promises, he was upset and defensive.

Is he gonna (BLEEP) come over and say hello to you

or is he just gonna stand there?

Assume not.

(CHATTER) Hi, hi.

Oh, he's definitely not coming over.

That's the thing though, he rarely even like

looks around a room for me.

Mm. Wow. Barely acknowledge.

To not even acknowledge

that Jess was there,

it's like a low blow, dude.

Like, come on.

Um, I don't know. Do you guys know?

I'm sure you guys already know.

I feel like I'm last to the party. We don't.

Got whispers, but that's about it.

Shh! Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no.

And we got to the end and, yeah, both walked away from it.

Was it usually, uh, like you were better for it

or was it a bit of tough times or...

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Um, we had a really good, like, last five days.

Epic.

But if I had to look back on it as a whole,

like, did I fall in love?

No.

I was struggling with the spark.

Sam knows to come in and address things right away,

so, he'd be doing this up front.

I knew that Sam would seek refuge in the men,

so, he could let everyone know

where he stands before it goes to the table.

I know how Sam moves now. Not surprised.

You know, there was some trust issues

there that were hard to rebuild back from and..

With the trust? What...

Yeah, what was the trust? Like...

Well, the trust thing was just that-that particular Couples' Cove

where I felt like I was just had it coming for me,

and I just felt like Jess just wasn't there to support me

as a partner.

And I explained that to her

and-and we were hoping to squash that the following Couples' Cove,

and you know, the trust started to be rebuilt for sure.

But trust is really important to me.

Like, I've had my trust broken before and-and you know,

I get my walls back up pretty hard around that stuff and...

But I don't believe the trust thing

because she had your back more than you are attesting to.

100% This woman had your back. All of it.

Clearly, like, I've got a history there, and you know,

there's stuff for me to walk away and-and work on.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

And I admit, and, and I'm... She had your back.

But at times I needed more. Yeah.

For who I am and how I react... Yeah.

And I'm emotional and I wear it on my sleeve,

I need a partner that is at times willing to jump in

and-and straighten things up for me.

Yeah.

You guys have seen that I can react really poorly.

But I feel like you also need to take responsibility

sometimes yourself.

100%.

And dude, I feel like I've tried to put my hand up

and...and...and own it.

Sam, he was like, "Oh,

"she wasn't showing the character that he needed as a partner."

Well, mate, she was looking after you.

We all know that she was actually all in for him...

Mm.

..and trying her best

to cater to his emotional instability.

We can't talk about this right now.

Let's go to the table. Let's go and get some food.

Let's get on the table.

The general consensus with the guys is that Sam is a bit of an idiot.

And Jess needs to stand up for herself

and let him know his place.

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

Doesn't this look divine?

Potatoes.

Oh, meat.

Whoo! Let's eat! Let's eat.

Wow.

Oh, amazing.

Who wants some salad?

Well, should we go around and share our experiences

of Final Promises?

(LAUGHTER) Yes.

I think we should start with Chad and Georgia.

Do you want to share your experience?

Georgia, you got this.

So, Chad and I, um, did our promises

and I was actually really nervous

because, um, I had fallen in love with Chad.

(COUPLES EXCLAIM)

(COUPLES CHEER AND APPLAUD)

It's so good to see Chad and Georgia.

Like, there's genuine love

out of this experience

and it's just,

it's really inspiring.

I'm really happy for them.

I made my promise to always bring the heat.

Yeah! Oh!

G spot! G banger.

Just not the chilli. (LAUGHS)

Or just don't put the chilli where the heat is.

Yeah. (LAUGHTER)

I've made that mistake before. Yeah.

(LAUGHTER)

Dani and Emanuel.

Look, we good. Let's just move on.

(LAUGHTER)

See? I told you. No emotions.

(LAUGHTER)

That's not true! No, I'm joking.

I'm joking. I told you I loved you.

She did, and I told her I loved her too.

(COUPLES SIGH ADORINGLY)

Seeing Chad and Georgia together and Emanuel and Dani,

I am super thrilled for them.

But there is a little part of me that is disappointed

that I didn't get that for my own outcome.

This woman just, like, emotionally got to me, you know?

Automatically, I just kind of was like,

she is sexy when she talks.

You know, like,

you want to be old and grey with your...with your partner

and still be intellectually captivated by them.

And I'm going to be by your side.

And I love this woman.

Aww.

(COUPLES APPLAUD) Yay!

Love you guys.

Cheers. That's a cheers for sure.

Definitely. Cheers.

(GLASSES CLINK) Cheers.

Thank you, darling.

OK, so, Tom.

(TENSE MUSIC)

The goss with Tom is that he's got some girls on the roster.

He was chatting to some girls he met at the speed dating

prior to coming on the island with Emily.

Emily came into this situation for love

and she wanted to see the best in Tom.

She was here for the right reasons and it just got thrown in her face.

Um, well, I think everyone knows what happened.

Um... What happened?

Well, did everyone else get a flare?

It was... it was just like... Yeah, we all got a flare.

OK. Yep.

Um, yeah, so, the flare rocked up

and obviously big decision to make

and Emily ended up deciding to pull the flare.

I was disappointed.

I obviously had a great time with Emily.

We get on so well.

And that's something

I would have liked to stay and explore with her.

I think that's bullshit. I'm sorry.

I agree.

I don't think you were ever here

willing to make this work.

Well, that's your opinion.

How was your time in Melbourne when you got back?

He's in Canberra.

Can... Canberra, sorry. What are you talking about, mate?

Get your facts straight.

Yep, it's a different state.

I don't know where you're from. Um...

So, my time in Canberra, is that what you're asking?

Yeah, yeah, when you got back there.

It was...it was good. Got to see my dog.

Did you talk to some other girls?

From speed dating?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

How was your time when you got back?

My time in Canberra, is that what you're asking?

Yeah, yeah, when you got back there.

It was...it was good. Got to see my dog.

Did you talk to some other girls?

From speed dating?

Um...

A girl from speed dating messaged me.

For sure, but there's nothing romantic there at all.

How many?

Just one.

One or two?

Just one.

So, there wasn't two girls?

No.

But you're talking to a girl before going on to the show...

Who messaged me, yeah.

You were going to get married to another...someone else.

So, what...

Mean, you can't speak to people?

Tom's not genuine.

Tom never came here

with good intentions.

He robbed Em of her experience

and she deserves much better.

I think what everyone's saying

is it feels like you closed off from the get-go

before giving anything a chance.

I think that's why you're getting grilled.

The importance also is like,

we are at this experience knowing we're gonna go and get married.

But I feel like you kept thinking about people from the outside

instead of just leaning into the experience.

At the moment, I'm frustrated and pissed off.

It's a bit hypocritical that Emily

is throwing me under the bus so hard

and bringing up all this stuff

when Emily and Man Bun used to date.

They knew each other on the speed dating,

and it seems like Amy is unaware.

So, if Emily doesn't have my back,

you know, I might have to open up what I know.

You know what?

I don't believe that it was just one speed dating girl.

There's a couple.

I can't wait to see these messages, Emily.

How do you see... Like, is it...is it just the one?

Say it...say it if it's two.

I wanna give Tom the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah.

I only know what Tom's told me, and I want to...

I-I want to believe Tom, I want to believe Tom.

It's just that it's really confusing

when there's so many different versions.

Girls involved.

So, this is the-the chat I had with Tom earlier.

I said, I, like, maybe there's a confusion there

where Tom's actually being completely innocent.

In Tom's defence,

what we've been through is us, you guys have...

obviously haven't... obviously haven't seen

what we've been through on the island.

There is a good person in there.

And I...and I would hate anybody to not see that.

I love him so much. He's a great guy.

Yeah, but you're a good person too and you deserve better.

Yeah.

Is she going to keep defending him?

Emily's making a lot of excuses for Tom.

I think that she still

has feelings for him,

and Tom's getting away with a lot.

It's all sliding under the rug.

To this day, I have said to everyone back home

that we had the most amount of fun.

Like, I...I've never laughed so much with someone

before at the most ridiculous things.

We were literally laughing about a light bulb one night.

Yeah, we all had fun, but I'm a little bit shocked

as to why you still want to maintain a friendship

with this person who has hurt you.

That's the kind of person I am.

Like, I... I'm a person of growth.

Like, I'm not someone to have any bad blood.

It's disappointing to see that Emily is not seeing through it,

and it's hurting me.

Do not defend him.

You don't have anything else to share?

I've moved on.

Um, you know, I'm just ready to just put it to bed.

It was very difficult for me to see Em at the table.

Today she walked in here fierce,

ready for action and as soon as Tom started speaking,

I saw her retract into her shell.

I'm confused.

There's no relationship here apart from a friendship,

and that's enough for me.

This is who I am as a person. I'm a very forgiving person.

I will sleep at night knowing

that there's not bad blood between us.

Don't know what to say. It's a friendship, right?

We're all great friends now.

Beautifully said, yeah.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

At the Reunion Couples' Cove

the group is sharing their experiences

of their time on the island

and everyone's keen to hear from the final couple Jess and Sam.

Sambo.

Sam. Thank you.

Um... Yeah, uh...

(SIGHS) This has been a lot.

Uh, this has been a lot for me personally

and I feel like I had a unique experience over here.

I've come up against some obstacles

that I wasn't expecting to come up against with Jess.

I came into this experience meeting Jess

and felt a spark straight away.

And that spark sort of faded for me around day four, day five.

But there was some things for me,

um, that made me question Jess's intentions.

For one of those things is trust.

There was times where I was honest with you

about the trust for me being broken.

And-and that...

What was the trust that was broken?

..for me needed to be rebuilt.

And-and I was on the back foot.

What was the trust that was broken?

And-and I did that.

Wait, I really want to know what the trust was broken.

After a pretty nasty end to Couples' Cove number two, uh...

I was convinced that Jess had blind sided me

and-and didn't have my back at the table

when-when I really needed support.

And I really had to question that.

You know, that's about as far as I could take it

for me on a personal level.

But at the end of it, there were a couple of things

that weren't lining up for me, and, uh...

I didn't feel like the chemistry was fully there.

Did I find love on-on the island? No.

I'm-I'm sad for me.

Just seems a little bit insincere, Sam,

when last week all I heard from you

is everything's going great about Jess.

Yeah.

It just seems very disingenuous. Yeah.

It's-it's funny, Amy... Yeah.

..'cause you stood up in front of all of us

and said to Mike, "I'm so glad,

"even though I've spoken about man bun or salmon jacket,

"or whatever number you referred to...

"that I've got you here, Mike."

And for us to then see Haydn and...

Like, no offence, Sam, this is like...

this is perfect deflection.

No, I'm not trying to deflect. I'm just finding it funny.

This is has nothing to do with Amy right now.

You-you saying like that I would've chosen Mike...

At that point in time,

like Mike and I can vouch for the fact

that we have learnt so much together.

And so, have we, Amy.

And at that point in time I wanted to be here with Jess.

Sorry, Monologue Sam,

I'm gonna interrupt you if that's OK.

Um, I think you've spoken enough at this point.

Everything that I have brought up to Mike as a concern,

I've said, you know, to the girls, but I've also said to Mike's face,

and we've worked that out together.

In the end, he did something that was so selfless for me.

You know, your experience was over, and you gave me another shot.

So sorry, Sam, don't deflect.

We're over it, and we see through you.

(QUIETLY) OK.

I call you Cellophane Sam for a reason, OK?

OK.

I think we'd love to hear from Jess now.

Yeah, thanks Dani.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

Um, to be honest,

I think,

when Sam questioned my trust,

it-it was a huge blow to me.

It made me super insecure.

I didn't feel valued.

I am disappointed that Sam and I...

are here now.

I...

And that is because I actually saw the potential

in the relationship the whole time,

but in the end I actually said to Sam

that I deserve to be with someone

who knows that they want to be with me

and that they want me.

And it is really hard when you like someone to walk away.

I know so much about you, but, you know, like you don't...

you don't know what I did for a job before my last job.

You don't know what my tattoos mean.

You don't know what my family nickname is.

You-you don't know all of this sort of stuff about me

because you didn't ask.

Yeah.

I just...and I felt like you weren't interested.

I've watched you for three weeks.

And I know who you are.

And I know your values, and from what I can ascertain,

you're someone that wants a woman that is fiery,

that is strong, that is ambitious, that is independent...

that is interesting, that is intelligent, that is fun.

But I was it.

(LAUGHS) Jess.

I was it! You know?

Hearing Jess speak up at the table,

it really, really hit home

that I can, um, react poorly at times.

So, yeah, man, her retelling of what happened is true.

She-she's upset and she's got a right to be upset.

Yeah, I'm rattled. I am struggling.

Yeah, I'm struggling for sure.

How you feeling Sam?

Yeah, I'm all...

I'm-I'm alright, Brie. I'm just... You alright?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. I'm...

Honestly, no-one's trying to persecute you, bro.

I'm, yeah, I'm grateful.

I feel like y'all think this is bullshit,

that she's got people looking out for her.

Like, I really am.

And, like, I'm proud of Jess for finding her voice and telling me

how she felt throughout it.

I want Jess to be happy.

I'm sorry that it's not me at the end of it.

This sucks for me as well.

Like, I...I am...I am spewing.

You know, I'm looking at people like Emanuel and Georgia and Chad

and even your guys end of the relationship,

like, it is hard.

You know, like, it sucks.

But I get it, you've...you've... you've, you know,

Jess is an amazing person.

(CLEARS THROAT) I've learnt so much from Jess.

I-I continue to-to surprise myself at how much I've still got to learn

and how much I've got to work on.

I'm not perfect, and I'll own that.

Um, I'm not trying to come up with excuses.

I didn't know how to do it any differently

than what I was doing out there.

And I am sorry for-for the pain I may have caused her.

Yeah.

You want to be a better person

and be the best version of yourself that you can.

I already see it.

Having that extra humility,

having that extra understanding will help you just a lot further.

And we are going to love and support you through it.

I appreciate your opinion, man.

And Sam, I know you might be hurting at the moment,

but when you look back on this experience,

you'll grow and that's really powerful.

I think everyone here needs to be incredibly proud of themselves.

Regardless of how your partnership went,

and if you're walking away with a partner or not,

it's a massive risk to come here and to do this.

It's emotionally challenging, mentally challenging,

and the fact that you came here

and committed to it is a testament to your character.

Mm! Yes.

Well, said. Yes.

Beautiful. Cheers!

Cheers to that. Cheers to that.

Cheers to that.

Cheers to that. (GLASSES CLINK)

The Stranded on Honeymoon Island experience is over.

On these tropical islands,

some people found a happily ever after.

Others found themselves.

But not one of these 13 castaways

is leaving Honeymoon Island unchanged.

I do feel empowered for what I said at the table today.

I do feel empowered for telling Sam that I deserve better.

I didn't find love.

But, I've gained something even better.

I've found myself again.
