Original subtitles

Previously... This is crazy!

I just got married!

I'm so happy.

..Honeymoon Island heated up for some...

I've definitely got a spring in my step.

..but for others, the tide turned.

I can't speak for Taniae fully, but I feel like, on the day,

there were moments that she was flirty with me.

So, we got intimate.

And after, I decided it'd be a good time to say...

"Now, don't go falling in love with me."

SHE RETCHES

Like, he's just a bit of a walking ick.

Honestly, it doesn't look great.

Is that another crate? It's another crate.

..a taste of home washes ashore.

"Your mobile phones." Give it to me.

If I'd seen this profile, I would have passed.

But it's their second Couples Cove...

The comment was really stupid.

I sort of thought, "Oh, he's an arsehole."

Can I have the pitchfork next?

Bore off.

I'm not feeling as comfortable in our friendship.

I'm honestly shocked.

..that's too close to home for some.

Tonight, you'll take a look back at speed dating.

It's my ex-girlfriend.

I don't think I'd enjoy it

if we didn't end up getting matched together.

Oof.

# Just like the air I'm breathin'

# These open wounds ain't healin'

# Tryna find my way back to you cos I'm needin'... #

The Honeymooners have woken up to another day of stranded life

in a remote corner of the Philippines,

far away from the distractions of the outside world.

# A little bit of love A little bit of love... #

And after their first night together,

newlyweds Georgina and Matt are already cooking with gas.

Not literally, of course - there's no power.

Really happy that we get on really well, like, from a friend thing,

but, like, obviously, there's a bit of chemistry.

There's a little bit, isn't there? There's a little bit.

But I think it's just good that we're taking it slow.

Got all the time in the world. Don't need to rush anything.

Praise be.

Give me a kiss.

We always kiss, don't we?

It's our little... I love having a little kiss.

I've got coconut juice all down my face.

As they navigate their way through their blossoming relationships,

for some, the wind is well and truly in their sails.

I woke up, like, really smiling about you today. Aww.

I think Intimacy Day changed a lot.

Yeah, I feel like we are on the same page now, and moving forward. Yeah.

..whilst other couples have barely left the dock.

# I need a little love. #

Boys' Day was just a laugh. All eyes were on Ollie.

He did say that Taniae,

she can speak to trees, the water, and ghosts.

But was he, like, laughing about making that comment?

I mean...it does sound quite something. Mm.

But I feel like Taniae and Ollie,

like, they've been intimate and stuff.

I don't think they're nearly as close as what we are.

No. I think we'll be in each other's lives longer.

Yeah. Lucky for you!

I feel like me and Moray are in a good place right now.

We're on the same page, we're taking it slow.

Like, I am a bit, like, just testing the waters

of, like, touch, touch, touch.

And like, he's not, like, going, "Urgh!" or anything.

So I suppose that's a good sign.

So, I'm feeling hopeful.

I'm so glad I've, like, experienced this whole journey with you.

All we've had is just fun...

Yeah. ..and it's exactly what I've been wanting.

But I was hopeful, like, obviously, with that fun, like,

things could maybe progress intimately.

And it's just unfortunate that,

like, I'm not feeling it, in that way. Yeah.

I am opening up more and more.

I can now see why the match-makers have paired us together.

But for me, attraction is a massive thing.

It's that one thing that's just so important.

So, yeah, I think for me, it's just like that frustrating,

because, like, I do feel like

it's just been the environment that's not helped us.

It definitely hasn't helped.

Like, it's a hindrance, isn't it?

As each day goes, we're still kind of learning

more and more about each other, and about ourselves, as well.

So...I'm hopeful that something can still grow.

I'm just not ready to give up yet.

My mum raised a fighter.

It's not just Mae and Moray struggling with attraction,

if what Ini heard from Taniae is to be believed.

Yesterday, Taniae pulled me aside

and said that in Oliver's opinion,

you don't find me attractive.

And I just thought that was very, very random.

Like, where it came from.

I think I was just shocked, right? I was very, very shocked.

I don't know why he would feel that way, but I'm like...

Again, he's entitled to his opinion -

that's what he sees, and that's how he feels.

I find you attractive. And if I didn't, it wouldn't work.

I wouldn't... I can't force it. You would see it in my face,

you would see it in my actions. I can't hide it.

Obviously, I don't understand Ollie's opinion,

I don't agree with it. What's bothering me the most about this is,

I'm starting to think, "Wait, hold on."

Taniae may have some, you know, hidden ulterior motive

that I don't know of, and there's a possibility that maybe Taniae

is trying to cause some trouble.

You know, when Taniae came over to our beach,

it felt like there was a bit of flirtation going on.

High five. Expect it. See?

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

I... I... I don't know why.

I don't think that's a him thing. That could be a me thing.

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

I'm not like this around Ollie.

Within the first few minutes of her being here,

she said she felt more comfortable with me than she did with Oliver.

The second thing, her saying she's just...

She's vibing with the wrong person,

that kind of gave me signs of,

"Are you kind of regretting that you are with Oliver,

"and maybe you wish you were with me?"

That kind of made me feel a little bit uneasy.

So hearing what is happening with Taniae is very, very shocking.

I'm like, "Have I missed something? Am I in Delulu Land?

"Am I not seeing something that someone else is seeing?"

There's something off for me, and I'm just processing it in my mind.

I don't know what you are thinking now, and how you feel.

I don't know. I find it a bit hard to talk, but...

But that's the thing, you do that part. You just...

You just dead the conversation,

and then I just feel like there's nothing else to say,

and then we don't talk about how you feel.

When you're trying to showcase to somebody that you really care,

and you're being honest and transparent,

and at some points feel like you're not being seen,

it does kind of hurt, and it does kind of put me in the backseat.

I don't know at this point, man, but...

I'm feeling nervous, I'm feeling vulnerable.

I think David is picking up that I'm holding back on him,

but I think vulnerability

is something that I've done in the past,

and having to be vulnerable again,

and let someone kind of have that power, is scary.

I don't want to be hurt, I don't want

to come out of here heartbroken - that's not what anyone wants.

And, yeah, it's fearful. I'm just fearful.

# Lord, it's a feeling

# It comes to find you... #

Taniae and Ols, they are in the shit!

Let's say the phrase that we're both thinking at the same time.

Three, two, one...

"Don't go falling in love with me." Yeah.

Ultimately, we are here to fall in love -

that is what we want from this. Mm-hm.

And to have that be your first comment,

after the first time you have sex, it would make you feel confused.

Like, just giving small-dick energy, first of all.

Yeah.

Ollie, Ollie, Ollie is going down.

I just think, "Urgh." Like, "Urgh," he should have been

thrown in the sea at that point.

Well, not to blow our own trumpet,

but I do still think we are the strongest couple.

I know it's not a competition, but I'm glad I'm winning it, you know?

Hannah may be feeling like a champ, but on another beach,

a relationship could be on the ropes.

Where... Where... Where is your head this morning?

For me, we were in a great place until you went off to the girls,

and then you come back, and it's like, "Fuck, OK."

Because my friends will be honest with me,

whether they think I'm being treated well or not.

I woke up this morning, I'm not feeling great.

Ollie and I had a massive discussion last night.

I think what I need from you is,

I need you to please lean in to the emotional intimacy.

I think for you that's hard. I need more.

Right now, I... I'm feeling a lot. A bit overwhelmed.

SHE SIGHS

Feels like you've got a guard up with me.

OK.

I'm trying to figure out whether this is the most you can

give me, emotionally, or is there something more?

Because if this is the most you can give me,

it's not enough.

Everything you said that you need, I'm... I'm in, just...

I'm going to give it a hell of a shot.

I want to lean in to the emotional connection.

I want to see if we can... we can crack this,

because it feels like there's a lot of things

which lead to what could be something really special.

We've kind of got the ingredients, but we haven't got the recipe.

That was beautifully put.

I think Ollie came into this entire experience just wanting to have fun,

but I think he's just realising now, "I'm in a relationship.

"I need to really show up." Which is good.

It would be mental if we don't just start having fun,

and just let loose a little bit.

Like, we'll be back in the UK soon, and we will hate...

..be hating the fact that we didn't. All right.

I just want us to be able to

not be thinking about all of this stuff that's been going on recently.

Just be present, enjoy each other's company.

I want to get to know her a bit better,

get deep into the tea life world.

And hopefully, she can get to know me and the legend that I am.

My frustration with Ini, really and truly at this point,

is that she's just not being open with me.

Honestly, I don't know if it's what I'm doing wrong,

or it's her past issues.

Um, I just really need to figure out what's going on.

I think the Taniae situation...

I think I do have trust in...

Sorry. Because of what's happened with my ex,

I've internalised it so much that I put walls up.

I think there's parts that have also come from my dad.

I don't cry. This is... It's good, that's...

There's a reason I'm not touching you. I want to...

I don't want to stop you.

I find it hard to really open up and talk about, like, the past

and how that links to my present.

My dad left when I was really young.

It was a very hurtful situation.

I'm feeling scared, I'm feeling vulnerable,

and I'm feeling like God has brought me here

and God's hand is in this.

Not having the first love from a man,

it's never going to, like, run OK,

like, the rest of my life.

So, because of that, the love I've always got is from women.

That's why maybe I don't feel safe to talk about my emotions with you,

as I would feel safe to talk about it with girls.

But I think you're such a great person,

and I know we have such a great thing going.

That's why I'm like... I want you to have the whole picture.

I know that was hard for you, so...

Come on, let me give you a hug first,

before I say what I'm going to say. You're good, I gotcha.

It's OK. It's OK to cry, it's OK to let it all out.

It's OK to be honest and vulnerable.

I ain't going to harm you, I just want to protect you.

We're good, OK? Thank you, yeah. All right.

I'm looking at you, and I'm thinking,

"This woman is strong, this woman is brave." You come on here

to meet a man, knowing that men has done you wrong in the past.

You still want to open yourself up. Wow, yeah.

It really paints a bigger, bigger picture.

Yeah. So, thank you.

I'm feeling lighter.

I'm feeling that, actually, it's not as scary to open up to a man.

And not all men are my dad,

and not all men will not catch me.

So I'm hoping for today that we start building our trust again.

I'm trying to choose to work through these issues. Mm.

And I hope you meet me there. OK, wow.

Come on.

Well said!

OK, now...

SHE LAUGHS

Feeling good? Mm. Yeah? Sleepy, you know? Sleepy?

Mm. Oh...

Oh, babe! Babe, babe, babe, babe, babe! What?

Look! Look, look, look, look, look, look!

Is that another crate? It's another crate.

It's got to be some bloody clothes! Bring me some clothes!

I just want my clothes.

I don't ask for much, I just want my clothes.

Crate.

Go and get us that crate, babe.

Oh, please, please be clothes!

That didn't work.

David! David!

A coffee machine. It doesn't feel like a coffee machine.

Babe, I have to say, you look very good

coming out of the water holding a crate!

Crates always either bring us closer together, or stir the pot.

So I'm looking forward to this one.

One, two, three...

BOTH: Ta-dah!

What is that?

What is it?

Message in a bottle. Message in a bottle!

I'll do this one, seeing as you don't like public reading.

All right.

"Dear honeymooners, you and your partner

"have been stranded away from the distractions of modern life."

"But now, it's time to bring you a taste of home." Oh!

"Inside this crate is something you will recognise,

"and may well be missing - your mobile phones."

No way. That is funny.

Whoa! This is savage! What? What? What?

"Should you wish, you now have the chance to swap phones

"and look through each other's social media and dating apps..."

"..offering you a window into your partner's world

"and a glimpse of their life before they met you."

Is this going to give me the ick?

Do you wear plimsolls?

That's crazy!

Oh...

It's like a flash from my past.

I hate this thing.

It's weird.

Oh...

I mean, hold it, think about it.

Feel free to actually have a think about it.

Er, I feel fairly strongly on this.

I don't have any interest in going through your phone.

I trust you, and this is a boundary that I don't want to cross.

I feel the same, and I think...

I think, if you dig for something enough, you will find something.

Ready? Do you want to do it together? Bye! Yeah.

See ya.

Give me your phone.

Give it to me.

Are you actually going to go through it all? Yes.

Wow!

Give it to me.

OK, here's mine. Thank you.

I'm not nervous for you to look through my socials.

Like, you know, um... Yeah, mm-hm.

I'm not... I'm not really nervous at all, either. Like...

No.

So I'm happy to swap. Are you? OK, yeah.

SHE LAUGHS

Right, what shall we start with, then?

Let's go with the dating profile.

So, I've got 336 likes to go through,

if you want to do that? Can't be that bad, right?

It's interesting how uncomfortable you are.

Mm, but...

Um, yeah, cool. Go for it.

Look, I understand... Why would...?

I'm just wondering why you'd want to.

Don't know. Get to know you a little bit more?

These are good, you know? You look good, man.

Fits are fitting, come on.

I'm jumping into pics.

Immediate just, like, abs. Just abs and body.

Abs and body, just... There's a bit of that. Just there.

Photo number one - Tinker Bell.

I'm liking the Tinker Bell vibe.

Oh, thank you.

I feel forced, doing this voice note.

Anyway, my most controversial opinion is,

I can't stand Ant and Dec.

Mainly Ant, but...

Yeah, I can't stand them.

Explain.

They just get on my tits.

Oh!

I even changed banks, cos they did my head in, popping up all the time.

I'm going to go in your messages now. Enjoy.

Oh, someone's sent a picture.

Should I open it?

Open it.

Oh...!

What is it?

SHE LAUGHS

What did she send?

"Lol. Even months after you left, I still find your hair in my stuff."

Oh, OK. "At this rate, I'll be able to make you a wig."

Yeah, she took a picture of your hair.

They sent my hair?

Yeah. What can you say to that?

OK, fair enough!

Snapchat?

At this age?

I don't use it.

It's not loading.

Typical, innit? As soon as we get to yours, signal's cut out.

The little icon on your Instagram,

that does give fuckboy energy, though. Oh, does it?

"Oh, there's a camera."

Load, load, you bastard! Load!

Grindr?

It all makes sense now.

HE SIGHS

Stop trying to get a rise.

You know what you're doing with, like, the jibes.

Choice jibes, though.

Like, I thought that was just, like... I thought we had this, like,

banter where we took the piss out of each other?

It's just constant little digs about everything.

Like, it's just comment after comment after comment.

And I'm just like, "Just stop."

But, no, I've actually not missed my phone. Normally, I feel like

I can't go to sleep without it. And I've clearly learnt here that

I just need a conversation with you, and it sends me straight off.

That's fine.

Tough crowd.

I don't find it banter, I don't find it funny.

I feel like she's just trying to get a reaction.

I just think, like, that task obviously could be a fun thing,

and it's like she's just trying to goad me.

Um...

OK, cool, go.

HE HUMS

I'm going to look through your profile.

Oh, your podcast.

Is that your podcast? Yeah.

You haven't really mentioned that before.

Yeah, we can talk about that. How has this never come up,

that you have a podcast? This is wild to me.

Wild. Yeah, yeah. This is my... I guess this is my point around,

we don't know anything about each other,

because you haven't told me. Mm, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, anyway, that's fine. Well, as I say,

all the chats have been so bloody deep. We haven't...

We haven't explored each other, which is...

Mm-hm, OK. Let's have a look.

Oh, I see.

You've got just over 7,000 followers?

Um, let me have a little look, see if some...

The followers, would that impact anything for you?

No, no, it doesn't. No. I don't want to date someone who has heaps.

Now, messages...

Go on, go on. OK.

You've got 12 new messages.

This feels weird, going through your messages.

It is, right? Do you see now? It feels comfortable. Yeah, yeah.

Like, I get you want to get information out, but...

You know what, I'm not going to do it. I can respect that.

I'm going to do it. It feels weird.

Yeah, I'm not going to do it.

Pinned pics first. Yeah? What are you seeing?

I'm seeing you looking saucy, I'm not going to lie.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, you're looking...

Looking fit there, babe, to be honest.

A little bit less dishevelled than I am right now.

Handing my phone over to Abby is a no-brainer.

Yeah. Fit. Thank you.

To be honest, I think both of us are taking each other for who we are

when we met, when we got married, not judging each other on our past.

I'm not holding her to anything, and I don't think she is me either.

Right, let's see this. "I go crazy for..." Yeah.

"..deep chats and late night Maccies." Yeah.

Ooh, it says on here, though, "Don't want children."

Mm.

Interesting.

OK.

If I'd seen this profile before this experience,

and it says don't want children, yeah, I would have...

I would have passed, to be honest with you. Mm-mm, yeah.

Um, that is something that I want.

Yeah, I wouldn't... I wouldn't get involved with...

I wouldn't, I wouldn't... Yeah, I wouldn't ...

I wouldn't fucking match with that person.

Um...

OK, give it. Let me put it in.

SHE PRETENDS TO SOB

I just really wish there was a time machine

in the next orange crate.

Oh, God.

I've got some grovelling to do, haven't I?

One... I don't want to break a nail. Two...

Launch! Three! See ya later, mate.

Taniae's reaction to this phone challenge is a bit ...

..revealing. My initial thoughts were,

"My God, does she not have faith in me?"

But I think we're progressing, I really do.

And I think that challenge has pushed us in the right direction.

She seems in a good place. I'm feeling happy.

So, hopefully, we come out...

Wake up tomorrow, feeling great, in a good place.

What could go wrong?

What could go wrong? Something's going to go wrong.

That's the spirit, Ollie.

LAUGHTER

Well, you've passed the festival test. Thank you.

The phones were met with a mixed reception,

but new honeymooners Georgina and Matt

have had a crate escape as they continue their honeymoon

with zero distractions,

and their batteries are fully charged for each other.

So happy and so grateful to be here with you. Very lucky.

Yeah. You'd think, as well, you know, being this far away from home,

and being in very, very basic conditions, it would be a struggle.

But it's all good, isn't it?

Yeah, we're handling it just fine. Yeah, we're smashing it. We are.

It is going scarily well.

You know, there's nothing that is really getting in the way of things.

This could blossom into something that is very serious.

It doesn't normally happen this easily.

But, you know, I'm not going to overthink it,

I'm not going to jinx anything.

I'm just going to keep just living in the moment.

I'm not bothered about going out, I'm not bothered about drinking,

I'm not bothered about partying. You know, this is my... Yeah.

..my time in life now to find something serious, settle down,

start planning for a family and stuff like that.

That's what I'm after. Aw.

Yeah, I mean, same.

I partied a lot when I was younger - whoops - but I'm ready to chill,

be wholesome, focus on... Finding something?

Yeah, finding something more serious.

It's nice to be able to feel this feeling again,

the feelings of liking someone a lot.

I just did not think that I was going to feel that way again.

Oh, my God, I don't know why I'm tearing up.

But, yeah, it's true.

Just need to find the right person to be wholesome with

and plan for a family. Well, I'm doing my best.

You are the best.

Oh, my God.

Mm.

Love that.

# Everything I didn't say

# To you

# Like sorry for all my mistakes... #

Hey. Heya.

Got you an I'm sorry shell.

Thank you. If you hold it up to your ear?

"I'm so sorry for being an idiot."

Mm.

I don't know.

Like, I've felt the whole time, being here, that, like,

I'm the bad guy for, like, not having the same feelings

and different things. And, like, it's been really shit

doing this whole process, and not having that feeling and stuff. Mm.

It's the goading now that I'm just, like...

Pff.

I just don't feel like I deserve it, but it's just constant.

Can you see it? It's just constant. Yeah, I know.

But it's just, like, to protect myself.

Like, it's embarrassing.

But it's not embarrassing, and this is what I've tried to explain.

It's just my preference, like,

and I really can't help the fact that my preference just...

..isn't you.

I genuinely think, like, he deserves a girl like me and, like...

But I just don't know if he believes that.

You want me to like me and it's hard, but you don't.

I do think the world of you, but I've just got to be honest

with my feelings.

Cos the last thing I would want is

to lead you on or give you mixed signals.

All I wanted to say was, like, stop with the jibes

because that's how I was feeling. Mm.

I didn't want it to turn into this at all.

That was the last thing I wanted.

Like, I was really upset that you thought, like,

I was intentionally trying to hurt you.

Like, that wasn't what I was trying to do.

If anything, I was just, like...

Just trying to have a bit of banter and...

So, let's just hug and make up.

I'm sorry, like... No, no. It's fine.

It's just making me feel, like, maybe love is, like,

just not meant for me.

Thank you for the shell.

I feel awful for not fancying Mae, but I'm trying to work out

my emotions and feelings and thoughts as I go.

And I feel like, as I've been doing that,

I've been communicating that at every step.

I... I don't really know where it goes from here.

# But I would rather not

# Betray myself just to keep... #

As Mae and Moray face an uncertain future,

the crate has also given Helen and Abby something to think about.

You know, like, family is already, like, a massive thing for me.

Yeah. And my two little nephews, they're like my biggest blessings.

I think just having that relationship with them,

like, I definitely want kids. Like, it kind of is, like,

a non-negotiable thing for me. Mm.

I felt like me and Helen were on the same page,

but I did see on her dating profile that she didn't want kids.

Cos obviously, that is a massive thing to me.

And I guess it is, like, complicated because of that now, for sure.

To be honest, I've kind of been on-and-off about kids,

like, over the course of my adult life. Mmm.

I would not say never - I would never say never.

For me, I just feel like all the circumstances would need to

be perfect for me to want to do that.

I think that's very, like...

..on-the-fence as a reply.

A lot of people I've been with before, it's kind of like,

"Do you want kids?" And they're either like yes or no,

to be honest with you. Mm.

They're not sort of like, "Well, it sort of depends if I..."

I'm just not sure. What's important to me is,

like, I don't think I could be an amazing parent

if I wasn't really, really happy.

And, you know, it's a lot of responsibility.

I mean, yeah, it is hard. It is difficult.

There's definitely some unknown to it.

But, yeah, I'm... You know, I still want to do it.

I feel like...

I would like an answer on that, cos I think it is a massive thing to me.

And, yeah, I don't want to waste time.

Like, I've thought about it. I can't give you that, Abby.

Do you know what I mean, though? I can't give you that, then.

But then you can see from my side, how difficult that would be? Yeah.

No, absolutely. You could turn around and decide one day, like,

"Nah." Actually, it's a no for you, and then... Mm.

So, that's really difficult. If you need a yes now...

But if you need a yes now, then I can't give that to you.

Yeah. And then you're going to have to do with that what you feel.

OK.

Yeah.

Um...

Yeah, I don't really know what else to say.

With Abby, it feels like she's sort of half-listening to me,

but really not.

Just sort of saying, "Well, this is what I want.

"This is what I want, and this is what's going to happen in my life."

She's got it all set out.

And I feel like, if you don't fit into exactly what that little

picture is in her head, she just can't fathom anything else.

# Oh, you said that you needed space

# Go on, then, astronaut

# And when you come back down... #

It's so peaceful, innit? Yeah.

# ..the one you call

# When you realise there's nothing out there

# But matter and emptiness

# And you let a good thing go... #

What a day.

# Some days I wanna sail away

# When the going gets rough... #

It's another blissful morning in the Philippines.

Another day in this outfit. I swear to God.

Oh, that's so nice.

You're so good at that. You're so good with your hands. Thank you.

It's like we're in a bit of an Amazonian music video here.

About 12,000 miles off, Matt.

But other than that, spot-on.

She's very, very sensual.

Lucky Matt, but the only thing Sam's getting showered in is complaints.

I hate this dress!

I hate the frogs!

I hate my hair!

I have woken up feeling just really negative and crap.

I am really, really, really missing home.

There's bloody insects everywhere, it's not great.

Also, showering - still a nightmare.

Toilet situation - not great for me.

I hate the fact I have no clothes.

And Ollie has something to shout about, too!

I love sex! Yeah! Woo!

You enjoy this morning?

Which part?

Well, I feel there's only one part.

Ollie and I have been intimate again, for the third time.

So, yeah, we're good.

Turns out, intimacy works.

Taniae and I are in the best place, by far, since this all started.

And obviously, that led to this morning being quite exciting.

A little bit of the bubbly!

She did say her guides said give me some more time.

So, thank you, trees. Thank you, water spirits.

You know, if it continues like this,

I would be keen to see what we're like outside of the...

In the real world. In the real world. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Same, same. Yeah.

The trees are chill. I haven't had a chance to tell them.

The tree behind me, his name's Greg...

..and he thinks I'm always right.

So, biking around London.

You can take me out, pamper me.

Pamper you? Yeah.

I thought you'd just be like, "Yeah. Ha-ha-ha-ha!"

I was going to say, I can, depending on what you want. OK, cool.

Fine, great. Um...

I'll have the full service.

Taniae and Oliver are back on track,

but Helen and Abby have been derailed by their different

feelings about starting a family in the future.

Time for a deep, deep chat.

What? What do you want?

Since yesterday's disagreement, it's very difficult between me and Helen.

I guess it's hard, because I've actually never met a girl

who's turned around and said, "Well, I don't know."

I can't tell you that I definitely

want to have children with you, Abby. No, that's fine.

I don't know you well enough! Yeah, and that's fine.

I haven't been with anyone before, who... That's a question mark.

Like, I haven't. I don't know how to navigate that, I don't.

And sometimes I can be a bit, like, on what I think and how I feel,

maybe too fast.

I'd just like the space to be able to sort of, you know...

..voice how I feel about stuff.

Communicating with someone that you don't know very well is hard, on...

You know, all day, every day.

On big things, small things.

You know?

It's difficult to know where to go with this with Abby, because,

you know, I do feel like I'm having to sort of like tutor her

on how to have just deep, meaningful conversations,

which is what relationships are, whether they're romantic or not,

and it just really leaves me feeling like,

"Are we ever going to be on the same wavelength?"

I just don't know if we're ever going to view...

..how to connect with a partner the same.

The phones washing up has certainly put the dating cat amongst

the pigeons - and there's another surprise on the shore this morning.

Oh, my God. One whole one for me, one whole one for Sam.

Sam! You've got a whole bag of goodies!

I don't know what, but we've got a bag each.

We've got gifts.

What is it? Sacks - and big ones.

# We've got presents! Santa's been!

# It's like Christmas! #

Ini, I think your clothes are here.

SHE SQUEALS

You're lying! You're lying!

Oh, my God! Are you joking?!

Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Yes!

"Dear honeymooners..." "You are cordially invited..."

"To your second Couples Cove"! Oi, oi!

"An exclusive red-carpet event..."

"Where you are the stars of the show."

"Inside this sack are a few things to help you get your glam on!"

Clothes! Ah! My make-up bag!

Well, now we're talking.

Today is a new day. Today is Couples Cove, today is glam.

And so that's the position I'm holding.

What a way to start the day, babe.

Fresh fits.

God! Ostrich feathers on the beach, here we go.

I think, as you know, I like to get dolled up.

I like to dress up, and this isn't really...

Are you not feeling that? It's not channelling me. It's not giving Mae.

SHE GASPS

Thank God!

Super buzzing, just feel good.

Moray can maybe even see, like, me looking a bit better.

This is me in my element, strutting down that red carpet.

It's going to give me that confidence, and hopefully

inject a bit of romantic spark into Moray and open his eyes.

What do you think? Looking forward to seeing me in it?

It's giving tropical. Mm.

# Lights, camera, action, that's it

# Lights, camera, action... #

Hollywood glam.

Moray's outfit is giving James Bond meets Rupert the Bear.

# Lights, camera, action, that's it... #

I'm excited to get glam.

Usually, I have my make-up artist,

my hairstylist, and my entire wardrobe.

# Lights, camera, action... #

Taniae, we have got to go. The boat is leaving.

Coming. What do you think?

You look outrageously hot.

As well as Ollie saying the right thing for once,

it's also a very good day for our glammed-up honeymooners,

as they're heading to their second Couples Cove.

I've not got knickers on, though, so be careful.

But nothing will prepare them for the arrival of a brand-new couple.

Strange, isn't it? You know, we only know these people as numbers. Yeah.

And now, you know, we're going to a little dinner party with them.

So, you know, it'll be interesting to meet...

You know, learn everyone's names.

Learn everyone's name!

I'm so excited about the first Couples Cove.

But I do think we might have to watch the PDAs today.

I don't think couples who are, like, not getting on will enjoy us

kissing every, like, five seconds,

so...it's awkward.

I'm just buzzing to see everyone, not going to lie. Same.

Hopefully, we don't get in trouble.

I think we're going to be fine.

Hopefully, someone else gets all the heat.

The Taniae and David situation, I think

I have a great relationship with both.

Obviously, one is a romantic and one is a friendship, but I think

there is questions that's being raised, and I can't ignore that.

# You've got me feeling like a movie star

# All eyes on me... #

Familiar scenes for you, darling? This is, yeah. This is so fun!

To be honest with you, the concept of time doesn't even exist here.

It feels like it's been three years since we had our last Couples Cove.

Yes! Wow, OK.

I've got a bit of a nervous belly.

Oi, oi. Look who it is.

Ah, hello! How nice is it to feel fresh?

Feels amazing to be walking down the red carpet with Hannah,

my beautiful wife.

What an amazing moment.

I'm excited for a beer, I'm excited to see everyone.

I was really excited, like, getting ready and getting glam,

but it's not the same, getting glam on a beach.

It's not. Like, the full-length mirror isn't there.

I know. Still don't really know how I'm looking.

You look fire. I'm stressing out.

Let me be your mirror. You look amazing. Thank you.

Look at this sexy lot.

They look hot. They do look hot!

Hey, guys. Red carpet ready!

I think everyone looks great. I almost forgot they were humans.

I was like jump-scare when I saw everyone, because...

Wow, we're not rag-livers any more.

We're normal people.

We can have a little catch-up. A little chinwag. Yes.

How you getting on with Hannah?

I can't lie, I think I'm getting quite far along

the feelings journey. You think you're falling?

I think I'm falling a little bit, yeah. Boy! Ooh!

It's still early days, don't get me wrong. Of course, yeah.

Looks like the matchmakers might have done a good job here.

It feels like we're only going from strength to strength.

I can't really see many things that would really disrupt that.

We've clearly got a good level of trust with each other.

It's really nice, I'm happy.

I'm pretty smitten, man. I can't complain.

When we last saw you, at the picnic,

you were beaming! We were in a good place, yeah.

You were almost feeling bad, how happy you were. I know!

So, at the end of it, Taniae pulled me for a chat.

Was like, um, "Ollie's opinion is that David

"doesn't find you attractive." Interesting.

For me, I was like, "Why is this coming up this late?

"Did he say it?" Like... So, my head was just like...

Mashed. Yeah, but then something else was mentioned and...

During your conversation with David? Yeah, he was like,

"When Taniae visited the beach, she was really flirty."

Oh, OK, OK. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I think the fact that I didn't question her character

based on that, he's like, "What's going on here?"

Like, "You're not even seeing how your friend

"might be stirring stuff."

Can I see David and Taniae having a little flirt with each other?

To be honest, yeah, I can.

They liked each other at the speed dating, but I would be saying,

"I want a conversation with both Taniae and David there,

"to get to the bottom of it."

And Taniae can't say one thing to my face,

and be doing another thing in my home.

It's not even like David came to your beach.

My bed is right there. I don't get that.

And I think a lot of what I hear regarding David that

affects our relationship does come from Taniae.

But, yeah, I think I definitely need to speak to her today.

But for now, let's go join the party.

Cheers. Love you, guys. Cheers. Cheers, baby. OK.

My boobs, they look good in this dress, don't they?

Yeah, they look amazing.

Ah, here they are.

Can you...? Yeah, sorry. Can we just slow it down, just a tad?

Yes! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure.

How do you feel about the entrance of the...?

I'm personally calm. It's all good. Yeah.

I present to you... Hey, girl! Hello! You rescued a maiden!

God, everyone looks amazing. Hello! You OK?

Nice to see you.

You look so cute, T.

How's everyone doing?

Very good, mate. How are you? Good.

Are you happier? Are you happier?

Yeah, it's been a... It's been a journey, yeah.

Yeah, it's been an interesting week, that's for sure.

Yeah, for sure, for sure. Ups and downs. Yeah.

What about you guys? You guys all good?

Yeah, yeah.

Well, this is slightly awkward, isn't it?

Anyone up for another arrival?

Ooh! Oy, oy!

Aw, she looks good!

I like her dress. I like that they're holding hands.

Everyone looks so good.

Like, everyone's just, like, in their element, in their energy.

But the girls? Mm, chef's kiss.

Beautiful! Mwah, mwah!

But this just wouldn't be Couples Cove

without a few surprises, would it?

Wait, who the heck is this?

Cue the new honeymooners! Guys, I'm not being funny,

but who is this? Who are they?

Who the fuck is that?

SCREAMING

Oy, oy!

New honeymooners? Yeah, just what I needed. Another happy couple.

I knew it, I knew it!

As we were walking in, everyone turned around and saw us.

You know, a big cheer from the lads and stuff like that.

You know, I think we spent a while together at the speed dating,

so it's good to see them all again.

How are you doing? What's your name?

SCREAMING

Hello!

Oh, my God. It's so nice to meet everyone! I literally love them!

I can't believe everyone who's been matched together.

I'm just so excited to find out what's been going on.

Wait, so you guys are stranded together?

We are. Yes, we were very happy to see each other.

All right, guys, I think it's time for a toast. Oh.

Oh! Firstly, we've got some new honeymooners!

CHEERING

Cheers to that. Cheers to that! Cheers, guys! Cheers!

Let's tuck into some food, at last!

So, I'm going to start off, straight off, how have you guys been?

Yeah, yeah. It's going really well, yeah.

I was hoping it was going to be my little Number 17

at the end of the aisle, when I got to the end of the aisle. Same!

I was so happy. Turned around, it was her.

And it's been... Yeah, it's just been literally,

like, that honeymoon since then. Can't stop touching each other.

Aw, that's cute!

All over each other. Have you been intimate?

No. No, not yet.

No! No, we haven't, we haven't. No, we haven't been intimate.

It's too hot! And it'd be like a sweaty sausage.

I mean, we don't know anything about how everyone's getting on.

So, David, Ini, how's married life? Stranded life?

Imperfectly perfect is the best way to put it.

What about you guys?

Yeah, I think we've had a pretty good go, haven't we?

Yeah. Yeah, we have... Oh, yeah? Have you?

None of your business, all right?

Moray, take it away.

I actually feel Mae and I know each other probably the best

almost out of all the couples. Yeah.

It's been a very frustrating one.

Because obviously, I really want to fancy the girl, but

I've just been trying to go with my feelings,

but also trying to look after Mae's, as well.

But are you still willing to, like, give that a shot, or is it, like...?

I think it is...

So, have you decided that you're friends?

Yeah. Er, it's been tough.

It's been really tough, but I feel like we are super, super close.

The journey Mae and I have had so far, we've had loads of fun -

and I was hoping that would then build the intimacy.

That's still not come, and for me, that's just cemented that

I genuinely just see her as a really close friend.

Um, hang on...

SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

You've got this, don't worry. You've got it, Mae.

Yeah, although I came here for love, I do...

Like, I genuinely wouldn't change being partnered with you.

And I, like...

It's so frustrating, yet...

..I'm just grateful to meet you and, like... Aw!

Aw!

It's hard, because there's no attraction there on his side

and he can't get past it.

It is what it is.

I just don't know who else would be a better match for him than me.

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

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

What about you guys?

It's been up and down, but...

OK, I'm just going to... I'm just going to, you know,

stick my foot in here.

When Taniae was in tears at the girls' picnic

because of a comment that you made...

..the comment itself, when I heard it, I sort of thought,

"Oh, he's an arsehole."

And then when I sort of let it sit in my head,

it actually started, like, really pissing me off.

Post-intimacy, for you to get up and say

"don't be falling in love with me",

when we are all in an experience to hopefully fall in love...

Like, what made you say that?

Yeah, I think it's important to have a bit of context.

So, firstly, we started having that banter, having that fun before.

Then we got intimate. And after, I thought I'd continue that.

So, it was purely to keep that fun rolling.

Very distasteful.

I often put my foot in it, say stupid things.

Yeah, I mean, it was... It was a shit move.

I've certainly learnt from it, and...

Yeah, I am sorry.

Ollie is trying to backpedal.

You know, if you say the wrong thing -

I've said the wrong thing sometimes -

and sometimes you've just got to take a bit of stick for it.

I think it's just hard to read, because you do have this

kind of Prince Charming, you know, way about you.

And that is not a very, like, Prince Charming comment to make.

I completely agree with you, completely.

If you're sort of this facade in a group setting,

but behind closed doors you're quite comfortable making

comments like that to Taniae... I don't think that's the case.

..it's quite hard in a group dynamic to, like, just accept you,

when we're like, "Ooh, which one? Which one are you?"

Hannah made a snarky comment.

Immediately, I'm just thinking,

"Great, she's made her mind up about me.

"She's going to come for the jugular

"without knowing anything about my side or my story."

Yeah, bore off.

Can I have the pitchfork next?

Go on, Mae. Obviously, Taniae's very spiritual.

How did you, like, relay to everyone about...?

Yeah, I'm going to jump in here, because

this was very easily going to be misconstrued.

So, Taniae's spiritual. Yeah. And she had explained to me

that she speaks with... How would you call them?

I speak to my guides.

I speak to my angels, I speak to the gods, I speak to the goddesses.

Yeah. I speak to the water spirits, I speak to the trees.

I know it's crazy, but I probably know all your secrets. OK.

No, but it's not, Taniae. You're allowed to be yourself.

You don't have to call it crazy, just

because other people don't get it. You can be yourself.

Am I allowed to get my argument across here at all?

Because I'm certainly... Yeah, yeah, go for it. I'm just letting her

know she is allowed to be herself. I couldn't agree more,

and that is of my opinion, as well. Yeah.

So, I started that comment by saying

there is nothing wrong with her beliefs,

and I will never, ever make her feel bad -

or in any way - about her beliefs. That is not the case.

I, however, wanted to talk to everyone about that

and get some advice.

And Sam gave me some, Moray gave me some.

The intention was never to make a mockery of that, and I don't want

anyone for one minute to think that was the case, because I think...

That's not what you did. Boys, you can back me here.

In fairness to Ollie, he really wasn't.

I've approached it with curiosity. Yeah, you have.

I will never, ever be made out to be that way,

because that's just not the case.

I think to me, it sounded like...

There's a difference with being like, "Taniae's really spiritual.

"Like, she's really into that. It's not my thing, but she can do it."

And then there's the difference of, "Bro, she talks to trees and water."

Yeah, I completely understand that the way

it was worded is not acceptable, right?

How did you feel when the rest of them were laughing

and making jokes, then? We didn't laugh, though. Yeah.

Yeah, it hurt you. I don't believe you!

I laughed straight away,

because it's not something I was expecting to hear.

Like, it was unusual for me to hear that someone speaks to trees

and water. No, because of the way he said it. He... Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. I found that funny to hear.

So I apologise if that... Because of the way it was pitched.

No. Oh! Fucking hell.

No, I just said... You all right? Obviously, I found it quite funny.

If you guys are uncomfortable with it, that's really on you.

I mean, the comment was really stupid, but... Amen.

Teachable moment, teachable moment. Learnable moment.

Taniae is finding it hard to admit that this might not be what

she romanticised it to be,

and that this man is really here for the right reasons.

I think she's starting to see it,

but she's finding it hard to admit to herself.

Just don't do it again and we're good. Mm, never, ever.

Cheers to that!

Cheers to Ollie never speaking again. Cheers to that.

OK, that is not what I said!

It's ludicrous! I haven't been this arsehole

they've depicted me to be, and I refuse to be depicted in that way.

No chance.

Taniae, do you want to catch up?

Cheers for backing me earlier, by the way.

All good, man. Appreciate that.

So, what's up? How are you?

Um... Yeah, what do you want to talk about?

So, it's a bit of an awkward one, I'll be so real.

Apparently, when you went to my beach,

you were really quite flirty with David.

Me?!

And I think David felt quite uncomfortable.

That's interesting he thinks I'm flirty, but continue.

He said when you went to the beach, that you were kind of making

reference to the fact that, "Oh, this is what I want with my partner.

"I feel so much more comfortable here." OK.

Can you grab me? Grab me, grab me, grab me, grab me! Right, go on.

Go, go, go. It's cool.

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

"I actually don't mind being stranded..." Exactly.

It's not as bad as it seems. "..with the right company," you know?

He feels upset, and obviously you're my friend,

so I don't know where I sit right now.

I feel really divided... Yeah.

..and quite uncomfortable with the whole situation.

I want to reassure you that you are my friend,

and I am not interested in David in the slightest.

Like, at all. I don't know if he thought I was being flirty.

I feel like I was just being myself.

Do you think the way you acted with him on that beach that day...

Yeah, yeah. ..would you have acted the same way if I was there?

And be honest. Yes, Ini, of course! Yeah.

I'm being... I'm being so honest, I'm being so honest. No, I know.

Yeah. I'm telling you exactly what's happened.

I am not one of those girls. Trust me, I'm not.

Maybe he mistook my confidence for flirting?

I'm upset, because it seems really unfair.

I think David has also thrown me under the bus.

I'm not sure where that's come from, and it also makes me think,

"Does David...?" Like, "Is a part of him wishing I was?"

Like, I'm honestly shocked.

Guys, babe... What? I think shit's going down over there.

Yeah, babe. Jeez. I know it is, I know it is.

Yeah, so I can see Taniae and Ini having quite a deep chat.

I'm wondering what's happened there.

Ini, I'm not interested in him at all.

Shall we bring Dave here? I'll say it in front of him, because

I don't like that this has now caused a rift between us

and a rift between you, because it's not a thing.

David?

And deep breath, deep breath.

Oh, no, I'm good. It's easy for me, man.

Ini has just expressed to me that she

feels like I was flirty with you, and I was inappropriate.

Firstly, for me, you mentioned you felt more comfortable

with me than you did with Ollie. So, then I thought,

"OK, does that mean you'd rather be stranded with me?

"Are you trying to do something?

"Are you trying to kind of make us, like, split?

"Are you thinking maybe me and you might work?" I don't know.

Oh, Dave...

OK, that is absolutely not the case.

I'm not interested in you any more than a friend.

And also as Ini's partner.

There was no intention of me wanting to be stranded with you.

It wasn't me hitting on you.

But I think everything that has...

..given me anxiety,

or, like, pulled us apart, has come from you, Taniae.

It has, and I don't know why.

Like, he's just... I think he's just making me connect those dots,

and I didn't before. But maybe I'm missing something.

OK. Honestly, I'm shocked at this conversation.

I'm very trusting, until there's a reason not to trust,

and I'm not feeling as comfortable as I was in our friendship.

OK.

They can say whatever they want.

I know, within my heart, I wasn't flirting.

Like, genuinely perplexed.

I'm not interested in him.

Like, I'm just not.

After what can only be described as the most

tense relaxed beach party ever...

# I'd like to take you to the movies when it's late at night... #

..it's time for our couples to unwind with a movie.

But when they see what's in store,

they'll be wishing they had a sofa to hide behind.

Here we go.

We're going to have a nice little movie, get that popcorn out.

This is so comfortable. Innit?

Please, let this just be a romantic film!

Let the show begin.

Good evening, honeymooners! Davina! Woo!

Welcome to a very special, very exclusive stranded screening.

Tonight, you'll take a look back at where this adventure began... Oh!

..speed dating... Oh! ..to see the journey you went on

to find each other.

Yeah, usually, movie nights are quite nice and relaxing.

Whew, yeah, in the outside world.

So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the entertainment.

Where's a pillow to cover my eyes?

Oh, my God!

The tension, yeah, is electric.

Everyone's, like, fidgety. Everyone's shifty.

Everybody is on edge.

It'll be so weird, watching ourselves back. I know.

Let me get comfy for this one.

So, do you fancy me? Yeah, you're beautiful.

LAUGHTER

You have really big arm muscles. Oh, thank you.

You're welcome.

No offence, but I just thought, lately like,

"Why aren't men funny any more?"

LAUGHTER

# Sometimes... #

Hello. Hi, there. How are you? I'm good. How are you?

# Run away, I've got to... #

All right? Very much so. You look good.

Thank you, so do you.

Oh, my God. It's my ex-girlfriend.

# Tainted love... #

There's no real bad blood there. # Tainted love... #

She's a really lovely girl.

# Don't touch me... #

I don't know if she's here to win me back...

# I cannot stand the way you tease

# Tainted love... #

..but at the moment, I'm quite confused.

We'll always care about each other.

Oof...

I don't think I'd enjoy it,

if we didn't end up getting matched together.

Oh... Yeah.

# I love you though you hurt me so... #

I've been very trusting in Sam up until this moment.

But I want to know - is he actually hoping it would be her?

I don't need to compete with an ex, and I won't compete with an ex.

# Tainted love... #

That's not going to happen under my watch.

# Tainted love... #

You look really nice, by the way.

I am attracted to her, but not super attracted to her.

Right.

Ah!

This island may be deserted, but it's about to host

some new castaways that you may well recognise.

What?! Who's this? Hi!

Fucking great.

Here comes the ex.

Hi, guys!
