Unexpected guests rocked the boat with some couples...

I think you're top of my list. Well, that's good to know.

You're incredibly good looking. Thank you. You too. You too.

It's like, "Ah!"

..and the honeymooners faced their biggest dilemma yet.

You must all now make a decision. What?

Anchor down with your current partner.

Or test the water with a castaway.

# Dark clouds, dark clouds in every sky... #

"Abby. I'm anchoring down." Now I need you to join me."

Don't make me regret it.

She's my number one pick.

So I said that I was going to explore it.

Oh, my God. I didn't think you would do this.

I actually think you're an idiot.

You're an absolute idiot.

Being stranded,

it's been way harder than I thought it was going to be.

It does put the most amount of pressure

on a relationship you possibly can.

It's obviously a flare.

Do you think there could be something to salvage from this?

Do YOU think?

Rain clouds are gathering.

The last, like, couple of days, they've been like,

proper harshness, ain't they?

I didn't know if your feelings had changed.

There's a storm on the beach.

If a man was making a joke

about how he raised his voice at you, we wouldn't be laughing.

No, I'm fully owning it, like... I know you're owning it, but I don't

think you should be making jokes about it.

I'm done with this conversation now.

And a shock entrance sends ripples through the waters.

Guys, I hate to say it, but there are people.

What the hell? Oh, my God.

# But now it's all gone away... #

After Oliver chose to test the water with castaway Megan,

Taniae has been left devastated.

# I'm going to keep your ghost by my side... #

He now has a huge decision to make.

Either continue in his marriage with Taniae,

or flare-out of it and start a new relationship with Megan.

Wait, wait.

# I hear you call out... #

Oh!

Is that a flare?

Oh, my God, babe, babe!

What the hell is going on?

Oh! Oh!

# Are we fighters or are we lovers? #

I'm really disappointed we couldn't make it work,

but I knew I had to walk away.

I know my worth.

It's obviously gutting seeing her flare-out.

It's a crappy feeling.

I can't stay in a relationship where a guy doesn't choose me every day.

With Taniae having chosen to flare-out

rather than wait for Ollie's decision,

she will now leave Honeymoon Island for good.

# A moment, a love,

# A dream, aloud

# A moment, a love

# Sweet disposition... #

As a new dawn breaks over Honeymoon Island,

the only thing hotter than the sun is the gossip from last night.

Somebody flared-out. Yeah. I don't know who.

I don't know.

How are you feeling about the flare last night?

I feel like Mae has left the island and Moray.

The island feels less funny today.

Do you think? And I think that's Mae's absence.

Interesting to find out what the hell has gone on.

Since the argument with Mae, I still feel a bit on edge,

and I'm just walking on eggshells,

and I don't really feel comfortable around my hut any more.

# It comes and goes in waves... #

Oh!

# We watch as our young hearts fade... #

There we go.

Another night.

Just woke up another day of paradise.

Shocked to be here, because me and Moray aren't at our strongest.

I haven't even got the words to say how guilty,

disappointed and sad I am about the way I made Moray feel.

But this situation, it's such a pressure cooker.

Hopefully we can move on.

# Put a little love on me

# Put a little love on me... #

Stranded life is not easy.

Mae and Moray are still struggling,

and even our most stable honeymooners

are looking a bit lost.

Although he could equally be looking for his morning coconut, to be fair.

I feel a little bit on edge this morning.

Matt's pulled back a little bit and I'm not really sure why.

Just went on a little walk. Are you OK?

Yeah. Yeah? All right.

Good. How are you feeling?

The last, like, couple of days

they have been, like, proper harshness, ain't they? Yeah.

I've noticed there's been less affection.

I've been trying to keep very positive,

trying to bring the vibe up,

but it hasn't really changed, so I don't really know if it's me.

I don't know what's going on.

I just think it's been a little bit difficult for me.

Being here, I'm never a good temperature, constantly sweating.

Yeah. Beard's itchy. My hair's long.

At the start we were so excited.

You know, we both got what we wanted.

We were both in this beautiful location.

You just sort of think, "Oh, I don't mind sweating,

"I don't mind this." And then... Yeah.

..like, a week later you think to yourself,

"Right, I really don't want to sweat no more." Yeah.

I really underestimated how hard this would be.

It's horrible. Yeah, no. It's disgusting. I know.

You overlook the hardness and the harshness of the environment.

And then after a while, it does sort of take its toll on you.

Constantly being sweaty makes me not want to be affectionate.

I'm not sleeping.

I'm struggling to stay awake if I can sleep.

So it is really difficult to sort of

maintain that happiness within the relationship.

I think I find it quite difficult,

because when I felt you pulling back,

I felt a bit confused,

cos I didn't know if I'd done something wrong

or if your feelings had changed.

The vibe feels different.

I think it's hard because I don't have my people around me,

and it's making me be co-dependent on him.

And I'm not a co-dependent person, so it's very, very difficult for me.

I feel like I don't look my best self.

I feel like I feel disgusting.

I don't feel confident. I don't feel any of those things.

You have to face every emotion together,

and there's no being away for nine hours from each other,

for work or, you know, popping out

and going to the gym to clear your head.

You are together 24-7, and there is no escape from that.

It is a struggle.

# Hold me while you wait

# I wish that I was good enough... #

And they are not alone with their troubles.

David and Ini's beach has switched from tropical to frosty.

After Ini's message from home yesterday encouraging her

to find someone she could rely on in difficult times,

she decided she was all in.

You're someone that I can have difficult

times with, as well as good times.

What do you think?

But there was hesitation from David.

When you face difficult times where you feel

like you need your own space to kind of process,

I don't know how to do that within, like, a together thing.

My whole mood yesterday was just off.

I think there was, like, a sudden

realisation and I was like, "Damn, like,

"we really are not in a good place."

And I think my hope dropped a little.

I miss being in a romantic place with you.

I felt your energy change as well.

What I realised more than ever at

that point is I really need my space.

I just think cos we're confined, it's like it's hard to have that.

So I feel like I just need a day off,

a couple hours away from you, where it's just me, myself and I.

Well, how can we bring that to where we are now?

We are here. So what can we do in this moment?

I think what's creating the distance

between David and I is that he needs space,

just for clarity, I guess, but the space he needs,

I'm not giving it.

I think it's just being on top

of each other all the time

To make it work, we're going to have to put in a lot of effort.

I want you to have your space,

but I want us to work together with what space we've got right now.

Does that work for you?

I don't know yet.

I'm still torn.

Do I really see us going further,

or do I need some space to rethink that?

And I honestly feel like maybe we just need

to be friends first and see

if we're actually really compatible in the long term.

Is there hope? Find out and see.

# I guess the apple don't fall far from the tree

# Cos I've been looking at you so long

# Now I only see me... #

With quite a few of our couples feeling the heat,

it's time to shake things up with a mysterious surprise.

Message in a bottle. Yeah.

What's going to happen?

God, I feel like it's just relentless these days.

Here we go.

"Mae, Zac Efron is waiting for you on another island."

Don't be silly, Mae.

He was far too expensive.

"Dear honeymooners, your time stranded may have unearthed your

"feelings for each other...

"..but for your third Couples Cove...

"..things will be shrouded in mystery at a masquerade ball..."

Interesting.

"..where hidden truths could be shared and secrets may be revealed."

Nice.

"Inside the sack are a few

"items to add an element of enigma to the day."

Oh, that's fun. I've never been to one of these before.

No, neither have I.

This will be my first-ever masquerade ball.

And I get to do it with my husband, so, yeah, bring it on.

That actually looks quite hot.

Yeah? Yeah. Shall I wear it in the bedroom? No.

Maybe people's masks will drop today.

How mysterious. How mysterious.

I am feeling excited to see everyone.

I'm anticipating a bit of drama,

and I want to see who set off the flare last night.

There's lots of questions going on in my head.

Or, like, what's happened? I don't really know.

I don't really know.

After Taniae's shock exit yesterday,

Ollie spent the morning alone on his beach.

Although he was given a choice between Taniae and Megan,

Taniae decided to flare-out of her marriage herself,

leaving Ollie to continue his journey with Megan.

I came to Honeymoon Island to find love, like,

to find a wife, and that's the core of this, really.

But I've got a few reservations about this whole Megan thing,

because I've literally just come out of something

that did really wear me down mentally.

Ah, lovely.

I just don't want to push too fast or explore too deep.

It might be the thing that I've been looking for.

It might not, but I'm going to take that risk.

# It felt so supernatural to have you hold me

# Super kind of comfortable to have you around... #

With secrets swirling and sand in places it shouldn't be...

It's our first selfie!

..it's time for our honeymooners to shake it off,

glam it up and head to the most

exclusive masquerade ball in the South China Sea...

Ah! ..where the truth about last night's flare-out will be revealed.

Our first masquerade ball.

# Like you're the spike in my adrenaline

# I try and fight it, not to let you in... #

How are you feeling about it?

A little bit anxious, actually. Are you?

Yeah. I believe that Mae was the one to flare-out.

That would be gutting, but what would be worse is

if there is someone sitting in her seat called Megan.

# I can't let it go, this chemical... #

We've not had the truth from Sam.

No. And I feel like today is the day

where it's all just going to come out.

# Sometimes I wonder if you even know

# The way you send me into overflow... #

It feels like Moray's putting a barrier up.

I don't know if he's never met a girl

that's been so open and as caring as me

and it's kind of a bit like, "Whoa." And I'm just like, "No,

"you deserve to be cared for the way I deserve to be cared for."

And that's why I'm a bit, like,

I genuinely think that we deserve each other.

I feel like being here, both Mae and I are growing as people.

As long as we're still here, I feel like I'm learning a lot.

I do believe there's still room for growth.

# If you say I'm too much, baby, go find less

# If you can't keep up, stay below I guess

# If I'm such a big deal, maybe you're too little.

# Ooh, ooh, it's tough

# Too, too, too much... #

I really don't know who's going to be here today.

I'm just anticipating who's not going to walk up.

So, yeah, it's just a lot.

Not crazy right now, but it will be later.

We're the first ones here. Looking forward to see

what everyone has to say after yesterday's craziness.

It'll be good to see if anybody anchored

down or decided to, you know, test the waters.

There was a flare, so it means one person has gone home

and one person from the Castaway stayed.

I think today's going to bring surprises after surprises

and secrets after secrets.

Oh, I see the next couple.

Hi! Hi!

Who's that?

You look insane! So do you!

I'm waiting to see if Ollie is here with Megan.

Or if it's Moray or Mae. Who knows?

Hi, sweetheart.

You all right? Good, brother. All good? Yes, yes, yes.

We all saw the flare.

There was a lot of speculation over who it could be.

Obviously, me and G had a little visitor on our beach,

so based off that conversation, I think it is Taniae.

Cheers, guys. It's going to be an eventful day.

Another eventful day.

Here they are. Come on.

Who's that pirate?

Look at you! Oi? Oh, my God!

Dude, you good? Yeah. How is everyone?

Good, good. There's a lot to unpack.

Oh, God.

So Taniae came to our hut yesterday. Right?

Yeah, and... Ollie's tested the waters with Megan.

And guess what? Ollie's told Taniae that the only reason

that he did it was because we were all egging him on, going,

"Nah, you should do it. You should test the waters."

This boy does not take responsibility for his actions.

It's just not cool to blame other people,

especially people who you're supposed to be friends with.

I don't think a big grown man needs any encouragement

to do anything, but Megan was his first choice.

And this whole way through this,

he's never been 100% happy with Taniae.

So if you're here for love, for me, it was the first time

I felt Ollie was about to follow his actual heart.

I don't think there's a problem with that.

I think there's a problem with what he's been saying to Taniae

behind closed doors.

The issue is lies.

You can't be sat there being like, "I'm happy with my wife." Right.

"I'm happy with my wife. I'm having a great time."

This isn't a five minute speed date.

This is a couple of weeks in 24-7 company.

We know how intense that is. Exactly. Yeah, exactly.

So how do you both feel about that?

That means he might walk in with Megan.

How was your conversation with her? The minute she started talking,

it was sort of like, well, Sam actually dumped me to be here.

Nobody's forced her to do this. Yeah. And she's come in swinging,

making up some sort of narrative about me which isn't true.

I don't trust that we're not about to see

the ex-girlfriend on her high horse trotting along the beach,

waiting to take a seat.

You mark my words, she's coming. We are all making assumptions.

It could have been Mae and Moray that flared out

and then Ollie still with Taniae. We don't know.

Yeah. It's true. You know, that could have been a situation

where Moray didn't get chosen.

Mae's pissed off about that. Mae's left, and then...

I reckon... I reckon they're still here.

Hey. Hello.

You two look fabulous.

Thank you. Hey, guys.

Hey, guys. How are you?

I'm very good. How are you?

Hi, my doll. How are you?

I'm good, babe. How are you?

Another Couple's Cove. Here we go.

Oh, that's Mae and Moray.

Mae and Moray? Yeah.

Oi, oi!

Still here. They're still here!

I was expecting Moray and Mae to have flared out,

so seeing them walk in is actually a bit of a relief.

They're two of my favourite people in here.

Still here. Yes!

What are you doing here? Can't get rid of me.

I'm so happy you're here.

I'm just happy you're here. I'm just really happy you're here.

I am so shocked to see Mae and Moray,

but I can't help but keep stretching to see if more people will come in.

Because the ex-girlfriend, I can smell her.

You know, I'm a shifty guard dog right now.

Oh, well, guys. Well, I guess, cheers.

Cheers. Cheers, guys. To the final survivors!

Cheers, my darling. Cheers, my darling.

Here's to minimal drama ahead.

Yeah. About that. Don't speak too soon, guys,

because there's still one survivor to come.

After Taniae's flare-out last night, Oliver is officially single

and ready to mingle with castaway Megan.

I saw one flare-out, so I think Ollie has decided

to flare-out his relationship with Taniae.

Hopefully she's taking it as well as she can,

but I'm just excited to explore things more.

Ah, hello.

Fancy seeing you here. What a treat.

What a day for it. You look lovely. So do you.

How's things? Good. How are things with you?

What a view. What a view!

So, brought your dress.

Thank you. And I wanted to invite you

to a masquerade ball for Couples Cove tonight.

Very fun.

This is beautiful. That's fancy, isn't it?

What did you get up to after I left you?

I'll be honest, it was a pretty savage one

because obviously we had built something, Taniae and I. Yeah.

But for me, it just wasn't...

It wasn't there, and, you know, that feeling wasn't there.

And she flared out. Did she...?

And, yeah, that was the end of that. OK.

So I obviously picked you.

If you'll have me. I'll have you.

I'd love to. I'm a lucky girl. It's a big yes.

Honeymoon with Ollie. I'm excited to explore things more.

Are you... Are you ready for Couples' Cove?

I am, are you ready for Couples' Cove?

No? Yeah. Yeah. It's going to be great.

So we can now go to a masquerade ball and cause some trouble.

Yeah, literally. Surprise!

I've got to be open-minded.

It is a tough situation to come into.

It's very fresh.

I'm still getting over what's just happened.

Um, so, yeah, I think cautious optimism

is probably the word,

but they might not even recognise me with this small mask.

You know? Maybe not.

How are you feeling on, uh, walking into the lion's den?

I'm not nervous about anything. Like, back yourself.

I'm happy with every decision I've made.

I'm happy that I'm going to be there with you.

Yeah. It's going to be good. Yeah. We've got this.

We do. The strongest couple there.

The other thing is, obviously you're going to see

Sam and Hannah together,

and I think you've experienced Hannah.

Her wrath. Yeah, she's got quite the wrath.

I think Hannah has come across a bit more fiery than I would have hoped

someone would have, but if I'm with you, I don't really mind.

Good. That's music to my ears. Yeah.

So, yeah, I think in that case, we've got it.

Yeah. Easy peasy. Go, team.

I'm excited for Couples' Cove.

This is the first time I'm going to see Sam since speed dating.

I'm not too worried about how I'll feel seeing him.

I just don't know what mood he's going to be in.

I hope that he's going to be as respectful

for me starting my journey as I've been him starting his.

It'd be good just to see if there's a connection there and explore it.

Yeah, I think grow a connection.

I like your stance. Let's go.

Let's have a nice day. Exactly.

Is it weird I'm really excited for this evening.

I think you're going to enjoy it.

I think I'll cop some heat, but whatever. Let's go. Gloves are on.

Whoosh!

He might want to reconsider that tactic,

because I've got a feeling some people's gloves will be off.

It's just ten of us.

Just the ten. I didn't expect that at all, though.

I was expecting to see Ollie.

I was expecting it to be a bit more of a, bit more of a drama occasion.

He escaped that one if he didn't...

Which I think was smart. Yeah, it was smart.

Very smart. Obviously, I decided to test the waters.

Mae took that really well.

Appreciate it.

You're so convincing.

No, she didn't. No, she did not say that.

No, I really believed it. Oh, that's nice!

Yeah, well, that's how I thought she would take it.

Actually, like, I saw a different side to Mae.

Really? Um, yeah. Pretty nasty. But I was trying to explain, like,

it's literally like giving someone a chance, getting to know them.

It's not that deep. So what have I got to lose

just getting to know the girl? Exactly.

Hearing Moray just speak about, you know, how Mae came back

and she's very fiery. I'm feeling sorry for her.

It's not easy when somebody you want is choosing to take somebody else.

But at the same time, I am shocked because I didn't think

it would be that much of a big deal.

So it's been pretty frosty with Mae and I now.

How do you feel about Moray, though, doing...?

Basically, what really offended me was that he'd actually rather spend

a day with Megan rather than me.

Yeah. He was like, "She said I was number one."

And I was like, "Was this before or after you said

"that yous was happy."

And it was after. It was after because she went,

"So what's everyone's tea? And we went, "No, what's yours?"

Yeah. She went, "Oh, I couldn't possibly say."

I'm like, OK. And then it wasn't until we all went round

that she went, "Oh, well, actually,

"it just so happens that you three were my top pick."

Megan, in my opinion, doesn't even deserve Moray's energy.

ALL: Woo!

I never knew corks, like, fly like that, you know?

Babes. I never knew that.

Where's a man been opening a drink for you? Come on.

I do actually look a bit like a waiter, so...

I love it. You're welcome, ma'am.

Can I get you anything else?

We'd love some food other than rice and noodles, please.

We're now at this part of the process

where you start thinking about what happens next.

Oh, 100%. Where are you guys at? Yeah. What is the deal?

I feel like I'm always trying to get David... No pressure!

We're all like, what's happening?!

Guys, we need to know. We need to know.

I actually don't know. I think he just needs to figure it out.

How do you feel ATM? I feel like I just want

to move past it. Like, it's either we do or we don't.

Yeah, 100%. I hate, like, this... Middle space. Yeah.

Middle space is so hard to be in as well. Like, you need to know

where you stand at the end of the day, like, you know.

But he just, he keeps saying he needs space

and he can't get it here.

I'm in this. I'm ready to, like, work on it.

It's him. I would give him space if I could,

but I don't have the physical thing to give you.

I don't have it. I'm sorry.

You either want me or don't. Just let me know.

I think all of us had something when we came in here that we're like,

look, we've done this a lot in the past. It's maybe a mistake

that we've continued to make with past relationships.

So it's like... Challenge it. Yeah, challenge it.

Tell him that. That's what we're here for.

And I think we've realised, so we're both, like, fearful avoidance.

At the start, I was more avoidant

and he was in it and now it's switched.

So it's like... You need to get back on the same page.

Ini looks deflated.

Tell him how you feel.

Otherwise what has it been for?

For me at the moment, with Ini, I think we reached a certain point

where I noticed that something was off.

Like, I felt like, you know, one minute she might let me know that,

"Oh, yeah, you're so open. You make me feel comfortable."

One minute I'm not, one minute I am.

So I'm like, OK, cool, no problem. Like, you know,

we can build this as a friendship,

see if we develop into a romantic relationship.

And we kind of agreed. But by the next day,

she said her feelings for me have actually grown.

It's kind of like, OK, cool. I just need some space.

But you should show more love, more affection, more everything.

And when you do that, when a guy needs space,

it's like you're going to push them away even more.

I found that big time.

I'm trying to kind of find that balance of, OK, I know I like you,

I know there's connection, but how do I create the space

I need while I'm with you here?

Well, it's hard to get space in here, isn't it?

Exactly. What are you going to do? Walk ten metres down the beach?

Stand there on your own?

That's where I'm at.

We're not seeing eye to eye on what I want from it right now.

There's a mutual understanding of our conversation.

It's just me just finding a way

to get my space outside of all of this.

Looks like there's a lot of things to think about for David,

but he can't do anything on an empty stomach.

So, for now, tuck in, everyone.

Wow, look at this bad boy spread.

Glad to still be here with you fine people.

Yeah. You really have made the experience.

It's been amazing. Yeah.

We were worried that it might be you guys.

I thought you were gone, I'm not going to lie.

Lovely to see your little faces around the table. Honestly, again,

we were separate when the flare went off.

Have you gone to bed with that flare?

Kept it just in case every night.

Sam, how are you feeling?

I'm feeling all right, you know.

I'm glad that, um, it's just us ten out here

and nobody else.

If I do see Megan, my ex, I've got some questions for her.

But, as much as I love talking about my ex...

Yeah, me too! ..I'm happy that she's not here

so we can have a lovely meal together.

We're coming into the latter stages of the process now.

And I think we're probably all at the stage

where we think about what happens next.

Definitely. David and Ini, where are you at with that?

The silence is deafening. There's chewing happening.

I feel like I need that space away to make a conscious decision.

Even though we have the connection, the attraction is there,

we connect, we laugh, everything's just so easy.

But I want to kind of stick with being a friend

and then take it from there on the outside world.

How did that work, then? Because if you need space,

would you rather not be here

and have that space and then reconnect?

What's the craic? I'm trying to figure out the best way to do it

while I'm here with her, but it's a bit difficult, you know what I mean?

I don't know, guys. I respect what he needs,

but I think it just leaves me in this, like, weird spot.

I just wanted to say something to David on this

because it has been a massive thing for me.

I guess I just had a moment where I was like, I really need

to give this a go now, and it's worked. And I mean, it's difficult

and it's hard and sometimes it's scary.

Yeah, and I was just. A minute, a minute for that. That's so good.

I don't know, bro, but I'm just saying, like, you know, if you can

see a way, like, we're here for a reason.

I definitely think that David and Ini are not really on the same page,

but I do honestly believe as they've spent time together,

it's developed and I hope they work out.

On a lighter note, are you moving to London shortly?

Oh, my God, no-one needs to move anywhere!

I'm a person who's very set in my ways,

and I do specific things at specific times,

and I like that routine in my life.

And coming here and coming out of that comfort zone,

it is really hard.

None of us are ever clean, sand everywhere.

Like, you can't get comfortable. And I've probably been like a bit

more reserved with G, which hasn't been, like, nice on her.

Obviously I had my feelings of him pulling away

and I felt a bit insecure about that,

and I think him distancing himself concerns me

because I want us to be connected.

I want us to get back to a better version of how we are.

I had the option to test the waters.

I got a jar, basically.

Message in a bottle from Megan, explaining that she wanted

to test the waters with someone else. Right. Fair.

So I'm assuming that would be Ollie. Right.

How do you feel? To be honest,

I think Megan's just shot herself in the foot,

because, obviously, she said to me that I was her number one.

Did she? Yeah, and then very quickly,

she went with Ollie. Maybe she just fancied him

more yesterday rather than you, babes. Potentially. It happens.

Yeah. It does. It's Moray being friend zoned for once, so...

I think that's why I got a bit annoyed.

I actually think you're an idiot.

You're an absolute idiot.

All right. Cool.

Thing is, I am her number one.

You're literally the only person here for her. That's why.

Oh, my God.

I just wanted him to see his, like, own worth.

And it sounds a bit mad, like what? That's your way of showing it.

You don't deserve to be spoken to like that.

But for me, I felt like my indoor voice wasn't working,

so I had to then go to my outdoor voice.

I don't think that's funny. I think if a man was making a joke

about how he'd raised his voice at you, we wouldn't be laughing.

I'm fully owning it. I know you're owning it,

but I don't think you should be making jokes about it, to be honest.

Are you...are you offended by me saying that?

No. I feel like I did make it quite clear

that I felt very uncomfortable.

Yeah, and to be fair, I've been, like, crying because I just felt

so bad that I did that.

I'll be honest with you, saying about, like, me making a joke

of, like, the indoor and outdoor voice...

I didn't know you'd shouted at him.

I'm not saying you're a bad person, Mae,

but I think if the roles were reversed,

then I don't think we would be laughing at you shouting at him.

And I think that's a fair statement to make.

I'm not even making a joke of it. I literally said, like,

I fully acknowledged, I fully owned it.

It was a bit like we were still...

It was more you just justifying why you reacted.

Meanwhile, I still was like, no, there's no reason.

No justification. Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm not like that normally.

No, no, it was a nasty side.

Yeah. We're calling each other out on our behaviour

and I think that's the point of this. Yeah, but you're making out

as if, like, I'm the whole, like, patriarchy and everything.

As if like, "Oh, no, it's OK for women, but not men."

I really don't appreciate that.

Like, it's not what I stand for at all.

So boring, being one of the only people here with a pair of balls,

honestly. Considering I'm surrounded by blokes as well.

Call it! Stop letting people get away with things that are not nice.

As long as Moray knows how sorry I am, he's my priority.

So, as long as you're happy with it. And do you, Moray?

Do you feel happy and content with that? I do appreciate it.

But I do get Helen's point and I can't brush over that.

If it was roles reversed, I think I'd have been carried out.

All of us really respect each other.

I really like you.

But we are, we've got to say what we're seeing, too.

That is the point.

I'm done with this conversation now.

I am a good person, and although I did it,

and I'm owning that, it's not something I've ever done

or would do in, like, a normal environment.

And I know Moray thinks that as well.

It's just obviously the way I went about it was not on.

After the least relaxing lunch ever,

it's time for our honeymooners to retire to the campfire

for the fun and games to begin.

What do you reckon about a little two truths, one lie?

Yeah, it's very on theme. OK. Shall I kick it off?

I once dated a famous comedian.

I've interviewed Kylie Minogue.

My dad is a famous musician.

Any guesses? I think the lie's your dad's a famous...

The lie's your dad.

God, I'm just see-through.

You're so right. Really?! My dad's an electrician, the legend.

Guys, I hate to say it, but there are people.

We're in this together.

It's not Taniae.

Oh, shit! Oh, my God.

Perfect view of Ollie and Megan walking in.

Why do I have to be sat here?

Why do I have to be the first to see it?

Oh, my God.

Are you being serious?

What the hell?

This is mental.

Walking in, I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty nervous.

It's a lot to walk into the lion's den.

Pretty overwhelmed.

It's a brutal one.

How are you doing? Hello. Hello.

How are you? You all right?

Shock, surprise.

It's my ex, Megan, and Ollie.

I can feel my blood boiling a little bit.

I think I've got some stuff I need to get off my chest.

How are you? Hi, mate, how you doing?

You all right?

Do you know what? I just feel awkward.

Hello? How are you? Good, how are you?

Thanks.

I'm here for the same reason as everybody else

and I am Megan, I am not just Sam's ex.

That's tough, walking into this, I'm like, whoo!

I obviously chose to test the waters.

Initially, I was thinking, I'm not going to do it.

The main thought was, I don't want to hurt Taniae.

And that sort of alluded to me that I'm again

not putting my feelings first.

I thought, do you think this will work in the outside world?

"No" was the answer.

So I got back, told her immediately, which is shit.

I didn't want her to feel upset and hurt her ultimately,

but I didn't want to just lead her on and hurt her more.

At the end, I genuinely think it was...

It was the right thing to do.

Can I ask something? Because we saw Taniae...

Yes. ..yesterday.

She came to our beach.

She was really upset. It was really hard to see her.

Absolutely. And she said that you told her you were really happy.

No.

I've been very transparent

throughout this whole process with her.

Very. I've also been very clear that those feelings were there,

that emotional connection,

and that I won't have anyone tell me otherwise.

I've been super clear with her the whole way through.

In fairness, Ollie has had conversations with me

and he has expressed those feelings.

So I do want to step up for Ollie on that.

Thank you, mate. Yeah, it's a tough situation.

Taniae said that Ollie had said

that they were in a really good place,

so I'm not really sure what's going on

and nothing's really adding up for me.

What happened was the crate arrived and it had a flare in and it said,

"Do you continue with Taniae or do you swap to Megan?"

And then she flared out.

Did you not feel you might have led her on a little bit?

I tried so hard, to be honest,

but in this situation it's so hard

to be brutally honest with someone because you hurt them.

I was going to hurt her either way, and it sucks.

I did not want to hurt the girl. I stand by what I did.

I think it was the right thing to do.

The feelings just weren't there.

It just sucks to hurt someone in the process.

One of the things that was confusing when Taniae came to ours,

she said that you said that us five were egging you on to do it,

that you were saying no and we were going, "Do it."

No, that's... And that is, that is the... That's bollocks.

That's absolute bollocks. I just said that what I was surprised at

is the people who were there said I should go for it.

In words. And you guys did say I should.

I think there's always going to be an element of whispers,

but there's two sides to every story.

I feel like you need to recognise maybe you weren't as clear

as you think you were. Maybe so. We're all here for a reason.

We are here to find our person. We are here to find the one.

And if it wasn't working with Taniae, I did say to you,

I think you should explore that.

My issue with it was that it got brought up

that in the morning you and Taniae sort of made an agreement

that you were on the same page.

You were going to stick together.

I'm trying to back you for the whole, like, I want you to do it,

you should do it, as long as you're open and honest with Taniae.

Yeah, I can understand that. That morning...

Did that happen or not? Do you know what I mean? That morning, we were

discussing having each other's back in situations like this.

That was the main priority - we have to have each other's backs.

All that we saw yesterday is that she was, like, super upset,

and she basically said it was such a switch.

I'm feeling in the firing line.

It feels like it's coming from all directions.

It's tough in these situations, it really is,

because deep down, I know I'm a good person. It's hard to have

everyone essentially tell you you're not.

What you can't control, though, is you mean to deliver something,

but maybe how it's received is slightly different.

Yeah, I definitely could have clarified that with her.

I really feel for Ollie in this situation.

Everyone's coming at him with their opinions,

and I think he has gone through this experience

with Taniae as best as he can.

At the end of the day, he's done what he's done

and I think he's been handling it really respectfully.

I think he'd fallen into the trap of saying what Taniae wants to hear,

rather than how you actually feel.

I felt backed into a corner because it's been very much

she's needing more and more validation and I couldn't give it.

He doesn't know where his head's at.

I just don't really respect his behaviour,

if I'm honest with you.

Megan, can I ask you a question?

So, from what I've heard,

you came into the experience and are telling a narrative

that I broke up with you to come on this,

when that's factually incorrect.

So I'm just wondering why you said that.

I didn't say that you broke up with me to come on this.

We broke up when we did, and then we had all that time apart.

We lived our own lives.

Then I said we rekindled a little bit, which is true.

And then it stopped because you said you wanted

to explore this experience, and I was supportive of it.

That's what I've been consistent with, with everybody.

But that's not actually true, though.

Is it not, Sam? I would back him on that, to be fair, because...

We're the two people that had that interaction,

so we know what the truth is. If I could finish.

Yeah, I'd love you to. I didn't interrupt.

So...

Awkward.

I think I was very clear with you when we were rekindling

that there was two different choices here.

Yeah. The first was whether there was space and room

for us to explore this again.

Yeah. To which I decided no,

because we've tried it twice and it didn't work.

And the second decision was, I've got a choice now as to whether

I want to go on this experience or not.

Sam, the two came side by side. It was a weighing up,

like, do we explore things any further?

Because we still had a little bit of a connection.

And the opportunity to come on here came at the same time.

So things ended and you decided to come on here, yes.

But those two decisions are separate.

OK, you can spin it...

And I made that very clear to you at the time.

But maybe there's your truth, my truth and the actual truth, right?

But I've got proof that... I've got proof too, hon.

You can't deny that this didn't have an influence on it.

We were sat side by side. You had to, I had to say, "Come on, bro."

Do you think if this hadn't come about,

that we would still be exploring it? No, I mean, I think I said...

There you go. I said... Let me finish because I let you finish.

Romantically, it didn't work first time around.

And so, yeah, statistically,

second time around it wasn't going to work.

And that's why we are where we're here now.

But there's no reason that just... That's the point, isn't it, then?

So those two things are separate.

If you appreciate that and understand...

Can't two things be true at the same time, though? No.

What?!

We quickly realised that this is an ex. It's weird.

She actually knows him better than I do.

They've actually got a whole lot of history together.

I'm the new girl, you know?

I don't want any animosity between us.

Like, if you have stones that you want unturned, then cool.

Let's go for it. But I don't know if you want to have it

in a group setting. I actually would quite like to have it

in a group setting so that nothing can be misconstrued.

You said that you still have a lot of respect for me

and you care about me, but if you really did that,

why did you blindside me at the speed date?

Hello? Oh, my God.

How are you? Surprised?

Very.

It's my ex-girlfriend.

Why did you not message me afterwards?

What are your true intentions for being here

and dating alongside your ex?

Because to me, that doesn't feel like someone that cares about me.

That feels like someone that's trying to catch me out.

I think I understand Megan's reason for coming in.

Everyone does deserve to have this experience

and hopefully find their person, but I could never do it,

I couldn't date alongside my ex.

Maybe in hindsight, I could have dropped you a text.

I could have given you a heads up.

I didn't know I was going to get here.

You didn't know you were going to get here.

Could have messaged you after the speed dating,

but you could have done the same back.

To be honest, we're on separate journeys.

Like, how much interaction have we had, or would we have had?

We're not on separate journeys.

Because you've decided to join the show.

Everyone is on the same experience,

but everyone's having their own journey.

I hope you can appreciate where I'm coming from with that.

You come in and try to paint a narrative which isn't true.

So from my perspective... I haven't painted you in...

She's not been painting a narrative.

I was actually talking to Megan.

You just said have it in a group scenario,

so if you want to do that one-to-one, I think step aside

and have it one-to-one. I'm all right, mate. Thank you.

Oh, wow.

I'm in the middle of a conversation. Yeah, BUT I think his point was

we're having a group conversation.

Yeah, I appreciate that. So if you don't want group to join in,

then how about we do one on one?

But you have disrespected me.

It feels very hard for me to accept that you want me to be happy

if you're behaving in a way that is different to what you're saying.

I have no problems with people being friends with their ex.

I'm friends with a few of my exes.

It's music to my ears to know Hannah knows that two exes can be friendly

with each other. I hope she applies that same rationale to Sam and I,

and hopefully Sam can apply that to us as well.

You've come to speed dating and you've initiated

quite a flirty convo. You're very complimentary of him, and it's like,

if you're really on your own journey,

why would you sit opposite your ex and start quite a flirty convo

when you're truly here to meet one of the other guys?

Quite a tough situation to be in.

Ollie, please stop answering for the girl.

I'm allowed to jump in.

No, I know, but like, I get you're defending her, but...

I'm saying that speed dating scenario,

you couldn't have anticipated they were going to be put together.

Babe, how could you not anticipate that?

Did you know that Sam was going to be here?

I didn't know 100%. I had a very strong inkling.

I didn't know 100%.

I was like, OK, that doesn't add up.

But, you know, maybe they're made for each other, Ollie and Megan,

because both their stories don't add up.

I am a naturally very complimentary person.

Like, I like to see the best in people.

A rock could have been sat in front of me

and I would have given them a compliment.

But that is just me as a person. It wasn't me being like,

"Oh, my God, my ex is so sexy."

It wasn't me like trying to refuel the fire.

I promise you, I haven't come on here to derail anything

or come in to be like, "I'm going to cause chaos."

I do just want to find love and I want to explore a connection.

And I want to be here for the exact same reasons as you guys.

I'm allowed to explore the opportunity for love

as much as anyone else is here,

and this whole time I have felt empowered.

I felt more control of my life by doing this,

and I just really don't think it's fair that people question that.

Like, look at yourselves before you look at me.

I'm really sorry that I rocked your boat in the process.

No-one wants to make you feel uncomfortable, right?

We all want to... Like, it's so... It's hard.

It's hard enough coming in here.

At the end of the day,

I don't now believe that you do actually care about me.

And so that narrative doesn't fit in my head.

And I've lost a bit of respect for you on that behalf

and the way that you've treated me.

The way I treated you? Yeah, but hang on...

Sam, you're not the victim in the situation, though.

But at the end of the day, everybody deserves to find love,

and I hope that that's what you can find with Ollie.

So... Cool. ..good luck. Yeah.

And I think, from my perspective,

this doesn't need to carry on and on and on.

I've said my piece.

I've got what I wanted to say out. You've said yours.

I appreciate what you're saying. And for me, that's now done.

I'm ready to let my past be my past and my future be my future.

Sam and Megan have things that they need to iron out.

Hopefully, they felt the space to do that tonight

and they can both just move on with their own relationships.

He said he lost respect for me for coming on here.

That's hurtful to hear from someone that you cared about quite deeply.

But you know what? Hopefully the dust will settle

and we can reach a level of mutual respect in the future.

As sparks fly around the fire,

Helen and Mae also need to clear the air

after their stern words earlier today.

How are you?

I've been very emotional today,

because I understand it was a weird way to show Moray

how much I appreciate him,

and obviously, like, trying to get that point across

in an aggressive and frustrated way wasn't the way about it. Yeah.

But it felt a bit like you didn't need to chirp in.

My point was that was not the time to make a joke.

I have to tell you... Yeah. ..that wasn't a good look.

There's never any tension from my side towards Mae,

but I will always be honest.

Sometimes a bit brutally honest.

And I'm not sure Mae is ready to really face that.

Everything we say has an impact,

and sometimes we just need to be a bit more careful

about what we say.

Sorry to walk in at a tense moment.

Hello, Megan.

I'm really sorry. What were we talking about?

We're just talking about my tragic love life.

How are you? Uh, yeah, it's a lot.

Like, obviously, I knew that there's conversations to be had.

Yeah.

Do I think she should be here? No.

Obviously we've got questions,

because it's a bit of a weird scenario.

How are you feeling with Megan being here?

Do you know, when she first walked in,

I felt like I had some unanswered questions.

I felt like I'd been wronged, to a certain degree,

because the narrative that was created was different

to the actual narrative.

Now that I've had the opportunity to say my piece...

Get it off your chest. Let's get this off the chest.

And there are two decisions that were made at the same time.

And it wasn't that I broke up with her to come on this experience.

So for me, that was the biggest thing.

Glad that it's done and now I feel fine about it.

And I think at the end of the day, everyone knew you weren't going

to have the same stories,

and I think everyone sort of knows what they're going to believe.

And I think it's very mature just

to put it in the sand and then just move on.

Obviously, I wouldn't choose to date next to my ex,

but in this situation I'm OK with it.

I'm very lucky that I found Hannah.

Yeah. It's worked. It's continuing to work.

And, yeah, so I feel very grateful for the position that I'm in.

He's got what he wanted to say off his chest.

Sam's happy with Hannah,

and hopefully Ollie and Megan can grow from here.

Keep being you, man. It's inspiring.

Honestly. Oh, the fellas. Good, innit?

Group hug? Group hug.

Come on, lads. A little friendship for life. Absolutely, brother.

I'm very excited now to move past this.

I'm proud of the way that I dealt with the situation.

I think I articulated myself well. I managed to not blow my temper.

This is now done, settled, sayonara.

What I don't really understand is,

like, you're kind of coming in knowing that you're going

to be, like, the other woman.

At the end of the day, we're both here,

we're both hopefully here for genuine reasons.

And I just really hope that people... As accepting as I was

for Sam to be on this journey, I just hope that people

can be accepting of me on this journey as well.

I think it's weird you're here. OK.

Because it's actually not your journey.

Just feel a bit like you're riding on his coat-tails a little bit.

Something happened to me and these decisions happened to you

and you're like, hang on. My whole life has now shifted

because of someone else's decision.

I felt empowered and I was like, fuck it.

I want to have an experience like this.

And I didn't think about him in this decision,

but sue me, there's one time in my life I actually make a decision

which is for myself, and I didn't take into account his feelings.

I didn't, but I'm fucking here now. Yeah, but do you not think

this would be uncomfortable for you? Like, if you are selfless, like,

you gotta admit, it's kind of... It's kind of a bit weird.

Is it that weird? Like, we're both over it.

Why would I want to see him flirting or getting married

or exploring a relationship with someone else

if I actually still wanted something with him?

And hopefully you guys can see that point of view.

That's how I feel. And I respect that.

I think if it's a case of wanting to be empowered,

wanting her own journey, wanting to go and find love,

that girl has got balls.

But I wouldn't want to be her, to be honest with you.

What frustrated me was you gave a lot of guys at the speed dating

the impression that they was their number one,

because that was your way in.

We were all putting our best foot forward.

Like, that boy might have been my favourite at that time,

but then I might have had someone else.

And then when it came to the lunch, picking people,

these are all boys that I've been interested in.

You know what? I did fancy Moray.

But the reason why I picked Ollie as soon as I came off the boat,

he was the most welcoming.

I thought, he's so handsome,

he's got to have a level of arrogance about him.

And then I thought, oh, bloody hell, they've got this boy all wrong.

He's so kind and gentle and understanding,

and the way we've communicated to each other is,

has been really, really nice. Yeah.

So hopefully... Taniae liked that about him too.

I'm sure. But, like, I don't know, it's not a me versus Taniae.

I'm not saying that, but I'm just saying, like, just heads up.

That's also true that Taniae liked him.

Everyone has their questions about whether or not I'm here,

and bloody hell, I'm here. Yeah.

Can we all just draw a line on it and just move on now?

Yeah. Fair.

It's strange to have to justify my actions

to somebody I don't know at all.

And if Hannah's OK with this,

if Sam and I have now drawn the line,

why do you feel the need to stick your oar in?

Like, you don't know me, I don't know you.

You stick on your journey, and I'll try and explore mine.

Well, time will tell.

As the sun rises on Honeymoon Island,

our couples are waking up slowly.

I feel like that was the perfect way to wash off all of that.

But after last night's explosive Couples' Cove...

..not everyone's feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

How are you doing after yesterday?

Yeah, I'm all right. I'm just exhausted.

It's weird, people having such strong opinions on things

they quite frankly know nothing about, isn't it? It's crazy.

Yesterday felt very school,

and it's, "We're like the cool kids and this is how we feel,

"so therefore that's fact and everyone must align."

They've literally met you for five minutes.

They can be so catty, some of them.

After last night, this morning I feel emotionally drained.

It's really tough.

Other than Ollie, it's really isolating.

It's taken its toll on me, I think, more than I thought it would.

I mean, Sam was just going in circles with you.

Yeah. And I was like, what?

You know that meme? "What do you want?"

What do you want from her?

She's explained herself, like, three times. Yeah.

I don't know the version of Sam that was there yesterday

and it's actually really weird. Really?

Yeah. I think Moray's a lovely boy. There was no connection.

There was no spark. I had a conversation with you,

there was a spark. Yeah.

And that's why I wanted to test the water with you.

And I don't understand what's confusing in that. How evil of you.

How evil of you. I feel really good about Megan.

Yeah, she's... She's a properly cool chick.

And the way she handled herself is really endearing.

I think it's cool to be around someone who's able

to articulate like that,

and handle quite a savage situation the way she did.

But how do you feel in yourself? Like, obviously, the whole

Taniae situation, but how do you actually feel?

Yeah, just feeling a bit defeated.

Why? Because, brain-power-wise,

I've got literally nothing, nothing in the tank.

I tend to do this thing where I start to get close to the girl,

start to feel, "This could go somewhere."

And then, I normally sabotage it

by just pulling away completely or shutting it down.

But I don't want to do that this time.

I think Megan and I connected a lot.

Having each other's back was really cool.

Yeah, I'm going to give it a crack with Megan.

We're in paradise. You never know what might happen.

This is going to be fun. It will be fun.

We'll get you living in the proper Stranded fashion.

But we're a team. Yes. We're in this together. Yeah.

We'll just have a really good time. We'll have some fun. Yeah?

# Here comes the sun

# Doo-doo-doo-doo

# Here comes the sun

# And I say

# It's all right... #

HANNAH: How are you feeling after the dramatics of last night?

Like, it was a lot.

I think the last thing anyone would want in this process

is to have their ex walk in.

Especially when they're saying things that aren't true about you.

Yeah. However, I actually feel very good about it this morning.

I feel like I got the opportunity to say my side of things,

because I didn't have a chance to defend myself,

cos it was said behind my back.

I'm pleased now that I can just move on,

start thinking about us and the future.

It's actually brought us closer together.

It sort of validated everything that you'd been saying.

Megan, being involved this early on in mine and

Sam's relationship, is so unhinged.

Like, you really couldn't write it,

but I think we've handled it really well.

I think we've had decorum,

we've had our questions, we've got our answers.

And now, hopefully, we can just, you know, be in unity,

live together in peace.

It's taking the group a while to accept

sharing their island with Megan.

SHE GASPS

Yes. Yay! Woohoo.

That's quite far away, wasn't it?

Is the game - just remind me -

is the game to get it as close as possible...?

Close to the coconut.

Get away. Come on. Get away!

But, as the end of their honeymoons draw closer...

Are we doing three or four?

Connect Four, obviously.

Yeah, that was very stupid from me right now.

If it was, it would've been called Connect Three.

..I've got another surprise for them.

What's this boat? Who's that?

I don't know.

Let's hope they're happier to see these familiar faces.

The last time there was an intruder, it was Sam's ex.

Please, no more. Please, please, please.

Is it coming for us?

Who is that? I'm nervous.

LAUGHING: Oh, my God!

SHE SCREAMS

Oh, my God!

That's my mum!

She's my best mate!

How'd the wedding go? Ah, well, I didn't marry her.

Sam is here.

My husband and his ex-girlfriend are having back and forth.

There's clearly unfinished business.

It's just friends.

You OK?

SHE SOBS

It's been so hard.

If that's how you feel, you don't have to be here.

Not saying that you've made the wrong choice,

I'm just being honest.

Could you actually see this working?

I don't think she's the one.

ECHOING: I don't think she's the one.

Both of us really see it working.

It's going to be ten times harder on the outside.

I think an apology's in order.

Megan, you've been daggers in me today.

You come in firing shots...

How much more respectful can an ex-girlfriend be?

What more can I do? You OK?

It's OK.

Sam is a good listener...

until it's something he doesn't want to hear.

He likes to have it his way.

It's a complete and utter mess.

You're all faced with a huge decision.

It's all coming down to this final moment.

Commit to your partner in the real world,

or quit your relationship for good.

But we didn't leave on the best of terms.

We could both get hurt here.

It's definitely a battle between the head and the heart.

I don't know what to do.

Release the flare.
