This is a social experiment

to see if relationships can thrive in isolation,

when it's just the two of you.

Six couples began their stranded life together.

This is wild!

For some, it's been a breeze.

Sam and I did take things to the next level.

You are exactly my type.

But for others, a stormier start.

So, who would you have preferred?

Number 28, the Asian-Australian.

Was I your number one choice? Ooh...

No, you weren't, actually.

It is really hard to hear that because he was my number one.

And while Millie struggled to find a spark with Jordan...

She said the attraction's not quite there for her yet.

Making me upset.

# I don't want you ever to forget about us... #

..Moray revealed his honest feelings to Mae.

I see you as, like, a little sister, almost.

Why have you said that?

Go, go, go!

But that wasn't the only shock.

Commit or quit?

The choice is yours.

It's decision time...

My head is just scrambled right now.

I just don't know if I'm, like, wasting my time.

I still want to give this a 100%.

This is a massive decision to have to make.

..and relationships are tested.

We've got a message. "David, Taniae will be visiting your beach."

It's so weird cos I just can't be like this around Ollie.

So, you can't fancy me because we haven't kissed or had sex?

That feels very surface level to me.

We've got a problem.

Throughout their time on Honeymoon Island,

crates wash ashore

to help our couples navigate their relationships.

However, what's arrived on the beach today

could turn the tide of their marriages forever.

Here we go. Ready? Yeah, play.

Hello, honeymooners. Hello!

No doubt it's been tough.

Tough?! I hope that most of you are thriving,

but some of you may only just be surviving.

In this crate is an emergency flare.

If you truly believe that there's no future for love

or growth with your partner,

you now have the chance to flare out of your honeymoon...

Wow.

This is mental.

..and end your marriage today.

But think carefully about your decision,

because when you release the flare,

you're going to be saying goodbye to your honeymoon for good.

Commit...

..or quit.

The choice is yours.

I just need to process this right now, actually.

My head is just scrambled right now.

I don't really know what to think.

This is a massive shock.

We've both got a lot to think about.

# You'll find me in the shadows... #

Before they make their decision,

the couples must ask each other questions to help them decide

if they're right for each other.

And put it this way, they're not, "What's your favourite colour?"

"If you could change one thing about me, what would it be?"

I wouldn't change anything about you.

That was too quick. Try again. That's too quick.

But I wouldn't.

"What are your worst traits in a relationship?"

Narcissistic, self-serving, unkind.

Um... No, what are YOUR worst traits?

Oh! You scared me! I was about to start running!

"What would you like to change about me?" Erm...

I would like you to stop moaning about everything all the time.

I can't deal with it any more!

I can't, it's back-to-back. It's a lot, I'm adjusting.

Listen, I'm just... I'm just a girl, stranded.

Me too, babe, funnily enough.

OK, these questions are tricky.

Maybe Taniae and Oliver's are a bit easier.

"How would you rate our marriage so far?"

Maybe not.

Er, it's... It's pretty solid.

Probably, like, a nine. Wow. Yeah, I'm pretty... That's not bad.

Good start. Yeah, I think so. What do you...? What would you...?

What would you rate...? What would you...? I would say, yeah,

it's definitely up there. Not a nine?

Seven and a half.

Really? Yeah.

Should I just, like, leave?

What more does he want? What more does he want? It is what it is.

He clearly has some trepidation.

What's negative? Like, I genuinely...

That's a good point. I don't have anything... It's a good point.

Maybe that's a me problem.

For me, a marriage is quite... It's a big thing, so,

given we're in early days,

I think it'd be silly to go super high-scoring.

Ten doesn't exist, it just doesn't.

Actually, you lost a ring. It's an eight.

THEY LAUGH

Still an eight for losing the ring? I'll take it.

# Cos I'm feeling it, feeling it, feeling it... #

"If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?"

It would be not to fall for someone too hard, too quick.

And then that kind of pushes that person away,

because you come on too strong, too soon.

What about you?

I'd like to have a bit more patience. Yeah.

I can be a little bit hot-headed sometimes.

Yesterday, I kind of felt you were a bit distant,

and then that made me feel like I couldn't be myself around you.

So, if you are ever going through, like, a moment of stress,

just tell me and we can both get through that together.

# No running... #

Jordan has always been supportive,

and he has always...

..thought about me. You know, he is a proper gentleman in that way.

So, I feel like that's, like, ticking boxes for me.

# Whoa-oh... #

"If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?"

Probably letting someone actually in

and allowing them to love me.

Mm. I think I struggle with that.

I think, delving deep,

what it is, is I've got a fear of having people that I love

then leave me, and I think that stems from my previous relationship.

And I just would rather not get vulnerable,

let someone in, and then them to leave me.

Because of, like, what he's been through in the past,

I feel like he's got his guard up, and just, like, won't allow himself

to be loved or admired himself. And I'm just a bit, like...

Oh, like, something great could be there.

If you're worried about, like, letting me in, cos you think

I might leave you or hurt you or...or...or anyone... No, I know.

I... I think my issue is that I love really deeply, when I do.

So, I just...

Er, I don't want to go through that again. It's... It's horrible.

Like... Yeah. It is like grieving someone, and I think that's where

I just have that fear and don't want to go through that. Yeah.

# Time is gonna let you down... #

Right, the time for talking is over.

Now our couples need to address

the big red, flare-shaped elephant in the room.

I commit. Yeah, I commit. We're staying.

So, put that back in the box? OK.

Why would we sort of stop something so prematurely?

Yeah, no flaring for us.

There's no way I'm breaking that. I don't want to break it.

Close. Send it out to the sharks.

Four couples have chosen not to flare out,

but Millie and Jordan and Mae and Moray

still have the option to break glass on their marriages, quite literally.

It is that case of, like, is this worth the gamble

or is it just, like, cut your losses, almost?

What I need to decide now

is whether we can turn this friendship

into a romantic relationship.

My gut is saying,

is he going to get past that little sister feeling?

So, I just don't know if I'm, like, wasting my time here

and might as well put my energy into someone else that kind of wants it.

# Could this be the end? #

How do you feel?

Erm...

# Could this be the end? #

He's lovely, he's got amazing qualities,

but I'm so in my own head right now.

This is definitely the type of situation where I need my mum.

All I want to do is just pick up the phone.

I feel like my mum would say to me, um, you know,

"Just stay strong and just stay true to yourself."

All right. Well, I'll go and ponder my thoughts.

# Brick by brick, I build my walls... #

I still want to give this 100%.

I have been giving it 100%.

So, I think I'd be pretty devastated if she pulled that flare.

# I-I-I... #

There are, you know, quite a few of my values that Jordan and I

are aligned on. But, obviously, just weighing on my mind

is the physical attraction. This is a massive decision to have to make.

I just need to make the right one.

# Brick by brick, I build my walls... #

Moray, he sees me as a little a sister. I'm not his type.

Is he ever going to see me as a romantic partner?

These are all things that I'm going through in my head.

Do I deserve someone to have those thoughts on me,

or do I deserve someone that's going to be 100% in?

# I-I-I... #

I feel like, since I've been stranded with Mae,

there has been ups, but I feel like there has been a lot of downs.

She isn't listening to me,

and it does feel like all of my communication is going on deaf ears.

I feel like I need to really focus on what's right for me.

I'm processing our whole journey so far,

and, obviously, it's had so many struggles along the way. Mm.

I think, for me, I've been in just such a completely different

situation than what I'm used to.

I'm used to being confident, I'm used to feeling pretty.

I've acted in a way that I wouldn't normally.

I know I've been too intense.

Look, I'm just concerned that you're not understanding

where I'm coming from on certain things. Mm.

# Everything... #

I just think we both came here to find something.

You know, could there be growth? I don't know.

We're literally days into our marriage

and I'm not ready to quit at the first hurdle.

# It's dangerous

# As we stare into the break of dawn... #

Shit, it's a flare.

Where's that come from? No fucking way. What the heck is that?

# Will we sink or swim? #

Oh, my God! Oh, my God, how sad.

They've just gone.

# Will we sink or swim? #

Yeah, I've decided not to flare out.

I want to have that time to show that I have not only listened,

but heard you. I'm hoping, by not flaring, it gives us the time

to do those baby steps and see where we go.

I'm glad we've both made the same decision.

Yeah, I'm glad we get more time.

There isn't the potential for love, which is what I came here to find,

and I feel like there's no way you can grow from that,

so what's the point in staying

if I haven't come and found what I was looking for?

# Will we sink or swim? #

I deserve the right girl. I know I deserve the right girl.

So, when I do meet the right girl, she's going to be pretty lucky.

Are you OK? I'm all right.

I'm sorry. Don't worry about it.

Probably for the best, anyway.

I feel so guilty for how Jordan must be feeling, seeing me do that.

Selfishly, I have put myself and my feelings first at times,

but I feel like because I spent so long letting other people's feelings

come before mine, I just feel like I have to look out for myself

because at the end of the day, who's going to?

I cannot wait to get home, cuddle my mum, and see all my friends.

Sadly, for Millie and Jordan, the sun has set for one last time

on their marriage and they will now leave Honeymoon Island forever.

# Azizam

# Meet me on the floor tonight... #

What we doing for breakfast? I actually feel like coconut.

Watermelon and mango.

Oh! You've done that before.

No, I haven't. You definitely have.

It's a new day in paradise, and for some of our honeymooners

a new start.

Time to put the drama of the flare behind them and focus on...

I'm pretty certain that it will be Millie leaving.

..gossiping about other honeymooners, I guess.

Also could be Moray or Mae, couldn't it?

I would bet my house on it. And I don't even have one.

THEY LAUGH

I can't believe last night. Like, the flare.

Yeah, I think the weight of it has actually hit me more this morning.

I feel gutted for whoever's gone, I do. Mm.

I think it's 100% Millie and Jordan.

Personally, I think for Moray and Mae, it probably was too soon.

I actually realised, what makes us work is

there's an actual attraction, right? If there was no attraction...

You're attracted to me? I said, there's an actual attraction,

meaning one person. I didn't say it was plural. I didn't say...

I'm attracted to you?

I'm attracted to my sister. Are you attracted to your...?

THEY LAUGH

Were you glad to wake up this morning?

Yeah, I think it gave...

..like, almost, like, a new sense of energy in why we're here.

Yeah. I think there's still room for growth for us. Mm.

If we can listen to one another and, like, have some fun,

and then see where it takes us.

# Maybe I, maybe I

# Ain't the same... #

I'm glad that Moray chose to stay here.

It has given me the confidence and reassurance

that we both want to be here. But, yeah,

Moray's also a hard one to read. He has got resting bitch face, so...

I'd say, it looks more like

resting always-looks-a-bit-worried face, personally.

And over on Taniae and Oliver's beach,

someone else is a bit worried.

So, this morning, I've expressed to Ollie that I'm not feeling

super secure in the relationship

and that's because I would like some more physical affection from him.

So, then we discussed it.

He reassured me, I was feeling better.

# You got that thing that I've been looking for

We then decided to take the next step in...intimacy.

There's a coconut there for you. Where is it? Oh, up here.

This morning, Taniae and I were intimate, which was really nice.

Erm...

HE LAUGHS

Did that this morning.

One thing led to another.

And then, afterwards, he made it a joke,

and he said, "Don't go falling in love with me now."

Yeah, it really upset me, because men tend to run away

after they get what they want.

It's happened to me quite a few times.

# Just say you feel the way that I feel... #

I get in this and feel sleepy immediately.

It's good, isn't it?

No? OK.

We're not as picture-perfect as I would hope,

but I guess this is just...

This is a relationship. It's not going to be easy.

So, it's choppy waters for Taniae and Oliver

as they begin to drift apart.

But after what could only be described as a bumpy start,

Ini and David are drawing the positives from the flare-out.

How are you feeling about the news from yesterday?

I feel like it's good to see us still be strong

in our connection, because that showed me yesterday that,

like, yeah, we do have a strong connection.

We are here for the right reasons as well. So is everybody.

And those who left, they left because they weren't happy.

And, you know, I'm proud of them for making that decision,

and proud of us for still being here and working through our shit.

So... I'm happy for us.

And excited for the journey ahead.

Same. We're so compatible, so strong.

And, for me, I feel like, to get to the next stage,

it's just keeping up what we're doing.

We have so much similarities

that help us work through the differences.

Mm. Erm, and I think we're focusing on building our foundation.

We're obviously going to face more challenges, but...

..I don't see it being a problem, hopefully.

We're building, like, the foundation, brick by brick.

Brick by brick. And I think that's what will really solidify our house.

As Ini and David strengthen their foundations,

over on Taniae and Oliver's beach, is their compatibility crumbling?

Yeah, the vibe is a little bit meh.

I think there's a...

There's definitely an elephant in the room,

so I thought it'd be nice to chat with Taniae, catch up.

What do you want to talk about?

Why did you decide to come and do this?

I mean, yeah. I mean, I haven't really...met anyone.

I've been single for a very long time.

The thought of having a matchmaker match me

with someone seemed attractive.

Maybe this is where I find my fairy tale.

So, yeah, what about you? Maybe.

Why do you think you've been single for so long?

I mean, to be honest, there was probably...

After the last relationship, I think I'm only realising now, how...

..how much it sort of screwed up my, erm, dating life.

What do you mean by that? In...

I always...I always find a reason to...to not date someone.

Looking back, I think it was just protecting myself.

Yeah, I do that.

Cos I think that, now that I've got past that and I know who I am,

the level of confidence I've got in all this,

I think the only missing link is dealing with whatever damage

that did in the dating world.

I think Ollie is...guarded.

I know relationships are not easy,

and I know two people can have different...experiences

and projections and expectations.

But, even though we are really good on paper,

there is just something missing.

# Just want the fever tonight

# If you wanna do the real thing Make it right... #

Do you want to have a go? Right.

All the way from the top, all the way from the top.

It don't sound that great. Doesn't.

Nah.

As well as crates washing up on our honeymooners' beaches,

occasionally something a little more mysterious will, too.

Hannah!

We've got a message!

Bring it here, bring it here.

It better be a good one.

Seeing the message in the bottle, I was like, "Oh!"

I'm really hoping it's something for maybe going on a date,

doing something that me and Moray kind of need.

Hopefully, good news. Will you get it out for me, please?

Can't deal with... Can't deal with anything else.

SHE LAUGHS

# Two lonely ships collide... #

I'm not going to lie - when I seen the bottle with the scroll in it,

I was like, "Please, give us some juicy good stuff."

Ollie. Ooh!

Pop it.

Oh, I daren't open it!

Oh, no. Huh...

Put me out of my misery.

"Dear honeymooners,

"you've spent the last few days stranded together,

"but now it's time to spend some time apart."

"Today, each of you will leave your partner to spend the day

"with another husband or wife."

"Use the opportunity to gain both an insight into their marriage

"and an outside perspective on your own..."

"and to discover if absence really does...

BOTH: "..make the heart grow fonder."

You look like you wanted to cry when you opened that.

You had... Like, you... Your eyes sort of filled up with water

for a split-second.

Is that cos you're away from me? Yeah. Aww...

We wanted it to be a date, didn't we?

Yeah. But that's fine.

And is that just for the day? For the night?

HE LAUGHS

Don't get too excited. No!

It's not the news that I wanted to receive.

I was hoping to get the opportunity to organise a nice little date

for Hannah and I to go on,

but instead it feels like we're getting dates

with other people's husbands and wives,

which is not what I would have wanted.

# Just had a breakthrough

# I'm used to being your number two... #

"Abby, you'll be visiting Oliver's beach.

"Helen, Mae will be visiting your beach."

So... Yeah, so it obviously wasn't Moray and Mae.

Wasn't Moray and Mae.

That's interesting. Are you happy to be seeing Ollie?

Yeah, I'm happy to be seeing Ollie, yeah.

I feel like me and him are just going to

try and smash a load of workouts.

LAUGHING: You're such a lad, Abby.

You're such a lad.

Yeah, I think it'll be good seeing Ollie today.

You know, it'll be a good time to spend some time part,

have a little break, because it is...

It is intense when you're around each other 24/7.

SHE LAUGHS

I mean, do you feel like you're going to be able to have any,

like, genuinely emotionally deep conversations with Ollie today,

or is just going to be bants?

Just bants, I think. Got it.

SHE LAUGHS

# It's better to walk away than to run with fake friends... #

Abby may be looking forward to some laddie banter,

but Hannah has other plans for her swap.

"Hannah, you'll be visiting Moray's beach.

"Sam, Ini will be visiting your beach."

That's good. Very good.

That's...

SHE LAUGHS

I'm going to cut Moray off so bad. I can't wait.

I'm actually really happy to see Moray today, because I want to

get to the sort of one-liners that he's been saying,

ie, the little sister comment.

Because we want Mae to be confident in this,

and I want to help Moray to boost Mae's confidence.

How do you feel about Hannah coming? You're in for a treat.

We are quite similar in the sense of, like, we're both quite, "Rah!"

Are you worried that it's going to be, like, intense, still?

No, no, no, no. I'm not...

I'm good with intensity. It's just, like...

It's that romantic intensity when I'm not there.

Oh, OK. Huh.

Hannah and Sam, obviously, they have a lot of chemistry,

a lot of passion, a lot of PDA.

So, hopefully, she can kind of like

inject that into a bit of Moray.

"Ini, you'll be visiting Sam's beach."

OK, yeah. "David, Taniae will be visiting your beach."

Fair play.

Oh, my God!

How do you feel about Taniae coming to your humble abode?

I think it'll be good for you guys to have a talk,

to fully close that 50/50 chapter.

Yeah. But also, let's be real - we are married.

Yeah, man, exactly.

Don't be living crazy.

No, I understand.

# Cos I'm too messy

# And then I'm just too damn clean... #

"Taniae, you'll be visiting David's beach.

"Oliver, Abby will be visiting your beach."

No, I think it'll be good for us to have some time apart.

I mean, I think we both need it.

I'll be honest - I'm all right.

Oh... Yeah, genuinely, I'm fine with it.

But I think it gives you a chance for some perspective.

I'll get some...respite from overthinking as well.

Yeah, and I think it might be good,

when...I come back, that we probably...have a chat.

I'm looking forward to having some space away from the beach,

just for me to change the environment

so I can process my feelings.

I'd say now is the perfect time to get this couple swap under way.

Our honeymooners are about to get a glimpse of how the other half lives.

Mae!

With Mae visiting Helen... Hello!

..and Hannah arriving on Moray's beach...

Oh, my God, look at you in your hammock!

We don't have one. We broke ours on the first day.

Lovely to see you. I'm going... And you.

I'm going to be using that by the end of our little chat.

Welcome to our humble abode.

It's a chance to catch up on their current situations...

I've brought you a house-warming gift. It's a shell from my beach.

Thank you! Come here. BOTH: Oh!

..and to give guidance and support...

I'm glad it's me coming to your beach,

because you know me and Mae are obviously very, very tight.

..or maybe just a grilling.

But, like, I think for Mae it's been a lot of,

like, back and forth, because...because you was...

You said quite openly she was your top girl.

I can imagine why communication has been hard to do with you,

because you've sort of flipped the script of...

..of what you want.

You know, going from, like, "I like blondes," to, "I like brunettes."

I'd slightly disagree on that. Yeah.

Er, I mean, I said from the speed-dating that Mae...

I wasn't... She wasn't the top girl I was attracted to.

But from the actual date, she was my top. Yeah.

Is it a Mae problem, or is it a you problem?

Have you asked yourself that? Like...

I think it's a bit of both.

I've just tried to communicate how I've been feeling as well, like...

Yeah. For me, like, being attracted to my partner,

wanting to rip their clothes off, is a massive part.

Yeah. And if I'm missing that, I've got to communicate that. Yeah.

I'm a slow-burner as it is.

But, like, you were signing up to get married.

You weren't signing up to go on, like, a few dates

and slow-burn together and see where it took you.

God, I feel like...we need a catch-up, don't we?

Yeah. You obviously haven't flared out.

So, what's... No. Where are you now?

I just don't know if he's just ever going to get it out of his head

that I'm not his type.

But I think you need some fun. Yeah.

So, why don't we... Why don't we just get on the bed?

Let's, like... I host a radio show back in the UK.

Yeah, yeah. Why don't we have a little podcast-y chinwag.

Yeah, right. You know, caller Mae. Yeah.

Needs a chinwag, needs some advice. Yeah.

Let's, erm... "We've got Mae on the line.

"Her husband doesn't fancy her." "And he's an idiot for it!"

I know that talking can really do such wonderful things,

so I'm hoping that if she wants to off-load on me today,

I'm here to listen to it,

and maybe that will help her in her relationship with Moray.

Today, we've got a gorgeous, stunning,

blonde bombshell on the line.

Mae! How are you?

Hiya! I'm good, thank you.

Oh, Mae, I don't like the sad sound of your voice.

What's going on with you, Mae?

So, although you called me a blonde bombshell, that's the problem.

My husband likes brunettes.

Beow-beow-beow-beow-beow! He sounds like a loser!

What the fuck am I doing right now?

I'm literally talking into a stick.

It's madness, I know!

Madness is exactly the word that comes to mind.

Now to see if, on Moray's beach,

Hannah has eased off with her grilling.

This is giving husband and wife.

Do you fancy her at this stage?

I was excited and happy. And to be honest, I was just, like,

I was really happy she came down. I wasn't...

And you fancied her at this stage? Yeah, she...she looked very good.

Yeah, but you was... At this moment... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I was happy. Yeah.

Girls are always going to stick up for their girls,

so, I did expect a lot of the grilling,

and I can understand a lot of the points that she's making.

It's like you've missed the, erm,

the very basic things of what you just don't say to women sometimes.

OK. I think, like, the...

..the little sister comment and, erm...

But that's how I felt.

I'm struggling... I don't see that sexual chemistry,

where I want to rip your clothes off,

but I am enjoying my time with you. Yeah. We have a laugh.

I do feel like there is good things with Mae...

Yeah, and you do see... You do see that, like...

Why we're compatible? Yeah.

After speaking to Moray,

I definitely have a lot more grace for him

and his side of the relationship.

They both chose to not flare out last night.

This is now the time for both of them to make the effort.

I just want you both to be happy, really, cos you seem lovely.

You seem, like, really in tune with your emotions

and things like that. And Mae is just, like...

Just a top girl, you know? Yeah.

Is there anything you can do,

or is there anything more I can help you with?

We're both struggling on the lack of food front.

So, it'd probably be a good idea to make, like, a nice pasta for her.

Yeah, perfect. Let's do it.

Let's get in the kitchen!

SHE LAUGHS

I'd like to think I've given Moray some advice today

that also benefits Mae, and ultimately just allows her

to be herself, and encourage her to be herself.

Ah, using the age-old tactic of wooing with cards -

the way to every woman's heart.

But back at Helen's beach, there's still more food for thought.

So... Yeah, I need to drop this now, sorry.

You're better than I am. I don't want you to feel unconfident.

If a man is not going to like you for the colour of your hair,

Mae, do you want to marry him?

The problem is, I'm already married to him.

Yeah. Yeah.

Well, he has stayed, OK?

And I want you to take confidence in that.

Mm. Look in that mirror and be the Mae that you've always been.

Yeah. Come on!

I am sexy.

You are beautiful!

I am funny.

You're hilarious!

SHE LAUGHS

I am not too much.

You're never too much!

I think Helen's kind of reminded me who I am and why I'm here,

and why somebody would be lucky to have me.

# I just want you close when you look so pretty... #

# Hi, nice to meet you

# Tonight maybe we could... #

Over on Oliver's beach, Abby is arriving to spend the day with him.

All right, son? All right? Aye-aye!

And with the laddy-ness starting to grate on Helen,

it's probably not ideal that they'll mainly be playing

with their balls, by the look of it.

Buzzing to see you, mate.

How you doing?

Welcome to our humble abode!

I love how you've got a football.

Kick-off's later, mate.

Just beautiful here. It's nice, innit?

Honestly, your water and everything...

Yeah. This place is unreal.

This beach, it is unreal. Come for the tour.

We've got our main boudoir. Oh, yeah? The pad of...

No, I'm not going to say... The pad of what?

The shag pad. No.

How's it been going down?

Erm, it started today, I guess.

So... OK. What about you?

Er, no. I...I want a refund from my wife.

Really?! Oh, no!

What do you want to do, then? Shall we smash a workout?

It was bound to happen, wasn't it? Yeah, let's do it.

First things first - no flare.

No flare, no.

Quite an east decision, actually.

Yeah. It's definitely not all plain sailing.

I fancy her. I really fancy her.

Yeah, yeah. But she is a bit of a lad.

Right. She's a bit of a lad.

Yeah.

She's been talking to me about a lot of, like,

one-night stands that she's had, but in quite in-depth detail,

in sort of like a, "I've had a lot of casual sex and I'm the man."

So, that sort... Right, yeah.

And like, I love confidence.

But that's a bit of a turn-off? But that's not sexy to me.

Yeah. "I've had loads of girls."

It's really, like, kind of changed the way I look at her.

We've not even kissed yet... Well, I was going to ask you about that.

..because of my cold sore.

If you didn't have a cold... Is it a cold slaw or cold sore?

Cold sore. Cold sore, right.

Would you? Or do you feel like you'd be put off

because you feel like she...

You're just another notch on the bedpost?

To be honest, I think within, like, the first bit of time

we spent together, I probably would. Mm.

Now I'm sort of thinking, "I don't know if I do." Yeah.

Hearing what Helen had to say about Abby,

it does just show that, obviously, all couples have their issues.

So, it kind of makes me feel like I'm not that behind with Moray,

and there is probably that hope.

She doesn't need to change. Mm.

Like, if this is her, and that's what she likes,

and that's how she wants to be, then that's... It's her game, yeah.

Like, cos we're all who we are,

but it doesn't really work for me.

Yeah. And there would need to be compromise.

So, yeah, we'll see.

It has been a nice break, this afternoon.

I think speaking to Mae today, and focusing on the fact

that communication is so key, I'm definitely ready to start

talking to Abby about some of the things that have been niggling me.

Right, Mae, come on.

Play you out. Yeah, I'll do some harmony.

# Mae called in, she's not having a great time

# A great time

# We've given her some vibes and she's gonna shine

# We love you, Mae

# You've got this, Mae

# So, go and sla-hay-hay

# Sla-hay! #

One of the upsides of being stranded miles from civilisation

is there are no neighbours to complain about the noise.

# Cos I'm holdin' on to heaven... #

Over on David's beach,

Taniae's arriving for some much-needed time apart from Ollie.

Hello! Yoo-hoo!

Whew! Hello, Taniae.

Hi! Hey.

Nice to see you.

How are you, Taniae? I love your house. Thank you.

Great to see you. You too.

Welcome to me and Ini's. Wow.

Got the bed. Where the magic happens!

Soon to come.

Got our chest with all our stuff in there, all our little bits and bobs.

Got my little boxing...

Oh, you use that to box? Yeah, but it's super soft,

so I need to stuff it up with some more stuff. That's clever.

Having Taniae on the beach, it's kind of good to see

from the angle of Ini, that's Ini's close friend.

And honestly, for me, get to kind of cover the whole 50-50 stuff.

All right, am I going? Am I going? You've got it. Go ahead.

OK. You good? Yeah. Well done. High five.

Seven, eight, nine, ten.

All right! Lovely stuff, thanks for that.

Solid workout.

Oh... Let's grab a coconut, get electrolytes,

and then we bitch about our partners.

One, two, three.

Got it?

Hang on, hang on. No, this is...

No, it's too slippery. All right, cool.

OK, you want to go straight. OK, let go.

Straight leg. Oh, I can't...

HE LAUGHS

Yeah, see?

It's not easy, is it? But you're doing good, though.

Yeah, that's knee tucks.

All right, can you... You ready? Yeah.

Can you grab me? Grab me, grab me, grab me, grab me!

It's cool.

Argh! That's painful on the hands.

All good, man, though. Well done, well done. Yeah, high five.

Respect to you. See?

See, it's so weird, because I just can't be like this around Ollie.

I...

I don't know why, and I don't think that's a "him" thing.

It could be a "me" thing.

If you feel something's wrong, something's off, you approach it.

Don't keep blaming yourself, like, "Oh, it's just me.

"Oh, it's just me." Accept that this is how you feel and approach it.

Yeah. Thank you.

And I think being here, I'm like, "Oh, I actually...

"I actually don't mind being stranded with the right company."

You know? Exactly, it's not as bad as it seems.

As David takes a break from throwing Taniae around his home,

his wife Ini is obliviously making her way to spend the day with Sam.

Ini!

Hold on, be careful of this.

So, David normally carries me.

I've got you, don't worry about it. SHE LAUGHS

Thanks. Wouldn't want you getting washed away. Yeah.

You know, I'm only little. I'm a good host. Thank you.

Oh, wow. You're actually strong. THEY LAUGH

What do you mean? What are you so surprised about?

Er, well...

Thank you so much.

How are you? Give me a hug.

Good to see you. How are you?

Welcome to my humble abode.

It looks really nice! Your beach is, like, just huge.

Cheers, bud. Cheers.

Lovely.

Oh, that's so good, isn't it?

So fresh. Yeah.

I think that's one thing I can't complain about.

Do you have a lot to complain about, then?

I think me and Helen are going well.

I definitely think we're on the same page in terms of

how we're feeling about each other and wanting to see where it goes.

That's good. Yeah.

Um, yeah, obviously, it's just been difficult as well, because,

do you know what I mean? We haven't, um...

We haven't even... Consummated the marriage.

HE LAUGHS

I'm just a very...

Are you quite... ..you know, sexual person.

You are, yeah? Yeah. So, I think for me, it's like,

you know, we did get married,

as soon as you have the honeymoon, like,

you're at least going to have a kiss, do you know what I mean? Yeah.

I don't want it to turn to just be, like, friends and no benefits.

That's the thing.

It's like, I said to T - Taniae, rather...

She was saying she's not getting enough affection

and she thinks that I don't like her at all.

And then also combine that with the fact that,

with sex, she said, if she sleeps with someone

she tends to fall super hard. Like, that's it, she's in.

Really?

So, I was like, OK, so I need to hold back on that

because I want to respect that.

Yeah. But then she's initiating it.

And you know, obviously, as a dude, zero willpower,

like, for when it comes to that. It's going down?

Yeah, we obviously do it, and then,

you know, we've been in a playful mood from start to finish, during.

And after we were smiling, and I said,

"Don't go falling in love with me now," and headed to the shower.

Oh, geez.

No, that is not the best.

I don't think it's that bad of a comment.

She did not see it that way. She stormed off down the beach.

I'm a guy.

We're pretty dumb, we don't really get comments right all the time.

I'm putting my foot in it already and it's only the early days.

And initially, I was like, "Oh, for goodness' sake."

Like, come on. But then, I get...

One of her insecurities is that sort of...

..someone hooks up with her and then buggers off. Oh, I see.

So, I completely understand where she's coming from.

Cleansing breath out.

Deep breath in to Om.

Om...

Om...

How was that?

Good. Namaste. Namaste.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on.

I feel like I'm already more relaxed with you.

I'm not like this around Ollie.

When she said she feels more comfortable with me

than she did with Oliver, I thought, OK.

It did feel, like, a little bit flirty.

I could sense something, but I didn't really want to

play into it, because I'm really happy with where I'm at with Ini.

So, how are you feeling?

Nothing against you, but I was a bit disappointed this morning,

when I got a message in a bottle, and it was like, "Off you go."

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you know what I mean?

The more that I grow to like Hannah,

the more vulnerable I feel in my relationship.

Why? Why vulnerable?

I think because there's something to lose, right?

Oh, bless you.

I really like Hannah. I think I'm probably falling for her

but I've been hurt in previous relationships.

I think I've got a bit of the fear of abandonment,

so right now I'm feeling very vulnerable.

I think we're similar. Like, Taniae's going to our beach.

Ah... I feel OK, I'll be very honest.

I think the initial was like... But after that, it was fine.

That's it, that's really mature. Yeah.

You should be proud of yourself for that. Thank you.

So, obviously I hear what David tells me, which is all nice.

But, like, I'd love to know what he says to the boys about, like,

our relationship and about me, about the Taniae situation.

Like, give me the tea.

He is happy that, you know...

It was 50-50 coming into this,

but he definitely feels like he's got the right partner

and found the right person to be on the beach with.

That's good to know, that he's...

It's not, like, something else is being said in the back,

because I'd be very upset if that was the case.

No, as you should. So, I'm glad that it's the same.

What I really wanted to do today was set up a date day for Hannah.

Aw. What are you thinking?

I don't really know yet.

I was hoping that's what you would help me with.

What about, um, bowling?

Bowling? I honestly think it's a classic first date.

You really don't have much to work with.

I don't have many better ideas. I think it'll be really good.

Are you going to help me set it up, though? Yeah. Let me help you

set it up. Shall we go find a good spot? Yeah, come on.

This is absolutely so cute.

I love love, and it just really shows where his heart is.

So, I will be snarkily mentioning to David, saying, "Hmm, you know

"that he's planning a date for his wife?"

How are you and Ini going? Er, with me and Ini...

Even with the 50-50, with that even happening,

it was right on the altar it happened.

For me, I was like, "OK, cool."

I didn't have an instant attraction with Ini at the time,

and I said, "Oh, yeah, I connected with you more."

It was a bit tough, and then we worked through it.

Being here with her made me realise, "Oh, wow.

"Like, we are really good. OK, we are compatible.

"Oh, yeah, we do work in all these different ways."

But, more importantly, how are you feeling now?

I'm not really sure how emotionally available

Ollie is towards me. Mm.

He's just closed. Mm.

Like, heart's closed.

And I'm like, OK. That's what I'm picking up on.

So, I'm just going to have to talk to him.

# I need love. #

I have some questions around Ollie's emotional availability.

He has told me about his past and his past relationships

and how much it's hurt him.

But it does make me question, like,

is he really ready for a long-term relationship?

And I'm thinking about how to best approach this when I see him next.

I think she's expecting things to move a lot faster than I am. Yeah.

And I'm not going to speed up. And that's extremely difficult.

For example, me and affection is a tricky one. Yeah.

I don't like public affection. I find it awkward.

That's a "me" problem.

Just stay open and honest with her and have good communication.

And I think that's something me and Helen, like, appreciate

and cherish in our relationship. Yeah, great advice.

I think I do need to lay a line in the sand and say,

"Listen, we need to take this on a day-by-day basis."

Because otherwise these things are going to keep building up,

keep building up. And no matter how much reassurance I give,

I don't know if that'll be enough.

# I need love

# Oh, oh

# Oh, I need love. #

So, how's it been going? Have you been schnogging?

Yeah, we've been kissing, cuddling.

Yeah? Just kissing? Yeah, just kissing and cuddling.

We both share, like, the same faith in celibacy, so that's quite good.

How far does that go?

Is that just the last straw, or can things happen in-between?

I think it's individual for everyone, and...

Where do you sit?

Well, it's...

SHE LAUGHS

It's a bit hard when there's attraction.

Is it?

I'm going to chuck this coconut at your head!

It's a bit hard when there's attraction,

so all I can say is I'm trying to be on my best behaviour. Mm.

So, we'll see what happens.

I'd say, stay strong, but I don't really mean it.

Have you stayed strong?

No. So, you've...

We've...

We've been intimate, yeah. You've got a strike?

THEY LAUGH

Hearing Sam talk about intimacy is hard, because, naturally,

you're human beings, you want to enjoy that.

But because of our belief, we're not doing that.

So, I hope they enjoy it, and I'll enjoy through them.

Woo!

That's actually well good!

# Oh, I hope you know

# I will carry you home. #

After spending their first day apart since getting hitched,

the honeymooners are heading back to their own beaches.

High! Ooh!

All right, mate? Bring it in.

But will all the couples still feel home is where the heart is?

It was lovely to see you. And you. Good luck. You guys have got this.

I'm rooting for you all the way. Thank you.

It's going to be such a great date.

Get your hug.

I enjoyed spending the day with ya, but I'm off...

See you later.

..to see my man. My man, my man!

Good chat. Love and leave you? See you again.

Ciao, ciao, ciao. Don't forget to have a conversation.

Bye. I won't. Bye.

Remember who you are, what you want.

Yeah. And see if there can be some compromise.

And I think that's the best that you can do.

But just don't forget you. Yeah.

Please, just remember my voice in your head.

Yeah, I'll be hearing that tonight. Yeah!

"Welcome to the beach! On tonight's show...!"

Yeah, and how great you are!

# I know there's so many ways this could go

# Don't want you to wonder, darling, I need you to know

# Hope you know I will carry you home. #

Honey, I'm home!

Oh...

I have made dinner.

Dinner? You?

Yes.

Ooh!

Ah!

How sweet.

So, this is my special dish.

Called...? What's it called?

Pasta and tomato sauce. OK.

Hmm. Nothing quite says "I've missed you"

like pasta and tomato sauce with a side of orange.

You look lovely in this lighting. Golden hour.

Oh, well, you're in for a treat as well.

I've got a surprise for you later. OK.

Is this what you've learnt from Hannah, then? She taught you

how to cook? She gave me pointers.

Right. No interrogation, then?

Er, a little bit.

Oh, really? Did she say, "You're wrong and Mae's right"?

Sort of.

Did she actually? Sort of.

I was only joking about that.

I feel like you do have, like, that bounce back in your step. Mm.

And that's what I want to see. She's got a hairbrush.

Yeah, but... Give a girl a hairbrush and she can take on the world.

That hairbrush is doing things, and your hair does look lovely.

# If you give me a chance I'd give all that I can

# I know I would risk it all

Yeah, it's quite nice to actually have our, like, first proper date.

Yeah. You seem... You seem...

..in a good, good spirits.

I feel like you've enjoyed today. That's nice.

Well, me in the kitchen.

And also, look at that sunset. Yeah.

# Now I know I Now I know I

# I'd risk it all

# I wasn't ready I wasn't ready

# Now I know I'd risk it all... #

Guess who's home!

Wifey!

Hello. Are you OK?

I'm better. Are you better?

Yeah.

How was your day? I had a good day. How was your day?

Yeah? Yeah, it was good.

Um, they've got a lovely little beach, a lovely little beach house.

Have they? As nice as ours?

Mm, no. It's just a bit more intimate.

It's a bit more, like, together.

Everything feels more together.

So, did you miss me?

I did miss you. Did you actually?

It's nice to have you back. Yeah. It's nice to be back.

A day apart, I didn't exactly miss you. Cheers!

No... What? I'm... You want me to be honest?

I didn't say that. No.

But I was very much looking forward to coming back to you.

It was a little bit hard to hear that Hannah hadn't maybe missed me

as much as I'd missed her. Perhaps I'm more into this than she is.

But I don't really want to go down that route, because I think

it might be overthinking things.

I like having little moments apart from someone.

I've not been with someone for six years.

But, yeah, I was very much looking forward to coming back to you,

coming back to home.

I just didn't miss ya.

SHE LAUGH

It was nice, in many ways, to spend some time apart.

It wasn't what I really wanted to do this morning,

but I think it was good, obviously, nice to...

Distance did make my heart grow fonder.

Nice to have you back. Pull me up.

# If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely

# If you're leaving, baby, let me down slowly... #

Time apart has clearly brought Hannah and Sam closer together,

but will Abby's bromantic day with Ollie

help improve things with wife Helen?

Hello! Hello, hello.

How are you, babe? I'm good, I'm good. Put that there.

Yeah.

Just a little wretched at this point.

Did you have a good day, though?

Yeah, no, it was a really good day. Um...

Do you want to tell me about yours first?

I had Mae rock up,

and I did speak to her a little bit about your laddish ways.

Oh, geez, OK.

For me, it's just...

You know, like, how you talk to me about, you know, the girls

that you've been with and, like, how many girls you've had sex with.

And it's sort of like what I would expect, you know,

like a 25-year-old bloke to be talking. Bloke chat. Yeah, OK.

It just doesn't feel like...

..a conversation that I would have with somebody that I'm...

..married to.

I don't... Do you know what I mean?

Like, considering we haven't even kissed yet...

Yeah, I know. My love language is physical touch.

Like, I think I'm just finding it hard, because...

Yeah, we haven't... We haven't kissed, we haven't...

There's been sort of none of that sort of physical touch

from my side, which I sort of need for it to turn from, like,

a friendship to, like, a relationship.

Mm. So, I think that's...

You can't really, like, fancy me

because we haven't kissed or had sex?

No, not... No, not really fancy you.

I'm just saying, like, in a relationship, I need that.

Like, I need to... Yeah, of course.

Like, I need to kiss the person and see if, like, I'm into it. Yeah.

# And you'd better stay clever if you want to survive...

I'm quite surprised that...

..the reason that she's feeling more friends

is because we haven't had sex.

I feel like, if that's the case,

then she can't really have fancied me very much to begin with,

because that feels very surface level to me.

I think where I've sort of said those sort of things to you

is...is coming from a place of maybe cos I'm just a bit...

Horny? Yeah, like, I'm just a bit...

No, like, I'm just a bit frustrated with our situation.

I just want to clarify it, though,

because I don't think you're understanding what I mean.

I do. I'm not bothered about hearing about your past sexual experiences.

It's the way that you talk about it in this sort of, like, laddy,

"Oh, I went with her, and then I went in there with her."

It feels emotionally immature to me.

I don't think it's immature.

I think that was just a bit much, to be honest with you.

I appreciate she doesn't find that funny

and doesn't want to hear about it, maybe, and that's fine. Um...

But, yeah, no, I didn't really

understand that, to be honest with you.

It has been more friendly vibes. Yeah.

And that...that I felt comfortable to say that to you.

But I respect that you don't want to hear that.

Even if we're...just friends,

that's not really the sort of conversation I would have

with my friends. No, OK, but then say that at the time, then.

Why has it taken till now?

Now it's a big thing and you're saying... It's not a big thing!

It is a big thing, or you wouldn't be speaking like this about it.

You would have just brought it up at the time.

# We never shoot to stun...

I think it's interesting that we approach things differently.

I am a person who does like to sort of say at the time,

and sort of squash it.

So, yeah, it just, I don't know, did my head in, to be honest.

# We're kings of the killing, we're out for blood... #

Helen and Abby's paradise may be turning a little stormy,

but over on Mae and Moray's beach,

the last thing he needs is a stiff breeze. Trust me!

Three, two, one...

Ta-dah! Ta-dah!

Nice. What do you think?

You got your tartan budgie smugglers underneath?

THEY LAUGH

Er, a real Scot... Oh, I don't know.

Turn round.

Nice.

A bit, you know... Just with the wind, you know?

Yeah, how's the breeze? It's very nice.

I'll just have to cross my legs.

Seeing Moray in his kilt, that was definitely something

I won't ever forget. It was a lovely sight to come home to.

I'm just hoping, after tonight,

we just carry on that trajectory of being upwards.

Cheers. Cheers.

Seems like the kilt worked a charm!

But has their time apart given Ini and David

some clarity on their rather chequered past?

Oof. Gosh, what a day.

Obviously, when I got the message in the bottle,

and I read that Taniae was coming here,

my heart did drop a little bit, I'm not going to lie.

For me, spending time with Taniae, it allowed us

to put to bed the whole 50/50, finally.

OK.

Made me realise how much I miss you,

and genuinely happy that we're together.

Also, like, I couldn't wait to see you again.

Our connection is there.

We've got the chemistry, we've got the compatibility.

We've got a sexual compatibility - we're being patient with that.

We... Like, everything is ticking.

It just made me proud that we're together,

and that God has put us on the same path.

And he didn't go with what I thought I wanted, he gave me who I needed.

So, yeah.

That was so cute!

I want to say, cheers to us.

Raise your glass. Clink. Oh, let's do our rings. Yeah.

Clink! Clink!

The stars may be aligning for some of our honeymooners,

but as night descends on the island,

not everyone is returning home a ray of tropical sunshine.

Oh, hello. Hi, babe.

How are you? I'm good. How are you?

Very well, thank you. Mwah.

How was your day? It's been, er... It's been a wonderful day.

Yeah, same.

I'm definitely feeling nervous speaking to Oliver,

but David has helped me clear my head.

So, moving forward, I really need

Ollie to step his game up a little bit more.

How was...? How was David?

We had a chat, um, which was good.

I think I just needed to talk about, you know,

some of the challenges that we've been facing.

What...? What are the challenges, in your mind?

The affection, and, um... I guess the pace difference.

I feel like maybe you're holding back a bit.

Just because I'm not kissing and cuddling her all day,

it kind of feels like I'm being forced to find a stronger

connection, which is probably going to do the opposite, if I'm honest.

Are you up for just taking everything day by day?

Having catch-ups every day? Making sure we're having fun?

Yeah, so, let's take it day by day, but with a long-term view.

That's what I'm missing. I'm missing with the long-term view.

Like, let's... The intention is for us to be together long term.

Er, I... I can't give you that long-term part, until we've...

..we've established... This is what I mean. ..what this is.

Yeah, OK. Do you know what I mean? No, I don't.

What do you need from me?

I need you to let me in, because I don't think you have.

I... I don't agree with you on that point, I really don't.

Um, I think I've been so open about so much.

I mean, if you feel like you have, and I feel like you haven't,

we've got a... We've got a problem.

I just need to know what, in terms of opening up.

Because if I'm missing something, then I can address it.

I don't know how you can be intimate with someone

but then also not be physically affectionate with them.

You're right. Probably the affection thing is a barrier.

I actually hate that I have to ask this of you.

But I get it, like, it's...

Oh...

I feel like if...

You'd know by now whether you like each other.

I know he's saying he does, but I'm just not feeling it.

I just... I don't want to have to ask someone, or force someone.

So, maybe this is where I have to accept that this is it.

This is going to be where I might find my little fairy tale love.

I just got married!

I don't trust you now.

I'm banging my head against a brick wall.

It feels very like you'd recoil if I touched you.

I don't want you to feel like that at all.

"Today, you'll be enjoying a beach picnic

"with your fellow husbands or wives."

He said, straight after, "Now, don't go falling in love with me."

THEY GASP

Ollie it just a bit of a walking ick.

I thought it was funny, OK?

David is not that into you, physically.

Honestly, it doesn't look great.

I just don't think I can keep going in this relationship.
