Today is the biggest day
of my life. Previously,
18 love seeking singles...

Hi!

..went from strangers...

I made a mistake. Shit.

I wouldn't say he's my type.

..to spouses.

It's love at first sight.

My husband is fit.

Some couples settled
seamlessly into married life...

One could say Steven is quite good
with his hands, yes.

Does that make you happy?
Makes some part of me happy.

..while others...

Said I want a tomboy Barbie.

Every now
and then he just says something

and I think,
like "Do, you know how that sounds?"

..were thrown into marital mayhem.

You've really pissed me off. Why?

Because you BLEEP are, man, you
actually BLEEP are.

Would it be any different
if I wasn't as big?

Probably.

I am starting to feel rejected.

The last thing I want to do is have

a talk about traumas and then, like,
get into bed with you.

You've hardly asked any questions
about me.

I don't want to ask.

I don't know
if there's hope for the marriage.

Truthfully, I don't think there is.

Tonight...

I'm home!

..our newlyweds...

Woo!

..move in together...

We're so cute!

..but for some couples...

It's almost becoming a little bit
real now.

..domestic harmony...

I know your three children's names.

Do you know my two?

..is short-lived.

It's crunch time for me.

CHEERING

At the first dinner party of
the experiment...

Oh, she's on her own.

HE CLINKS GLASS

..it's showtime for Dean.

Here we are on this mad experiment,

seeing things not in our element.

But Sarah serves a scathing review.

He asked me if I'd ever slept with
anyone fat before.

He was calling himself
the Funny Fat Kid.

He's like a care bear.

That's not a very hot thing to say
about your partner. No.

While some
are falling head over heels...

I've got that, like, fuzzy feeling
in me.

You're gonna make me...

..others are falling apart.

You are very negative.

SHE SOBS

Honey, I'm home!

As our newlyweds return
from their honeymoons...

Yesso! Let's do it.
Our first key together.

..it's time for them to embark upon

the next big milestone
in their married lives.

We're doing it, huh?
Living together.

Right...

Whoa! Oh, my God!
Look at this.

Holy moly!

Whoa!

How do you feel
about being here together?

What, being married?

Feels quite normal for me. Don't it?

Do you know what I mean? Yeah.

I'm really comfortable around Joe.

Like, really comfortable.
I mean we're sharing a toothbrush.

Do you know what I mean?
Like, that is gross, but

it's one of those things.

Good luck!

Settling into here
and just being with you,

like, that's... I'm excited for
that.

We're here. We're home.
Honeymoon's done.

Next step, baby girl.

We're so cute! This is beautiful.

I barely recognise you there.
You actually look like a different

person to who I know now. Yeah?
Yeah.

Is this the one?
Is this the one you didn't like?

THEY LAUGH

We're different people.

I can touch you and everything. Mm.

When I left the honeymoon I
was feeling really on edge

and unsure about Ash's
character and

I was kind of looking for flaws
and negatives

and being quite reactive
to everything he said.

But now the pressure's off.

Yeah, we're,
just getting to know each other and,

yeah, it's a lot more chilled,
which is how I prefer things.

It will be nice to meet

everyone else
and hear how they've got on and

it will either make us feel way
better

or a million times worse.

No, I think, look,
everyone's different, but

I'm quite happy with where we are.
Are you going to be jealous

if the other couples are, like,
all, over each other, like snogging?

I just said I'm happy with, like,
where we are

and the progress we're making.

What a day. Who would have known we
didn't even know each other then?

Yeah it's so surreal.

What was your thinking
in that moment?

I think, I mean...

I don't know. I'm not going to lie.
That does feel like a lifetime ago.

I'm just very overwhelmed
by everything

and, you know, Dean is so lovely
and he absolutely is

and, you know, he's great
in things, but

I'm just... I don't know,
it's just kind of like...

I just thought it would be
different, you know?

If he doesn't look like
what I would usually go for,

doesn't matter.
I'm going to be open-minded.

On their wedding day...

No, I don't fancy Dean.

..despite Sarah's intentions, she
struggled to find an initial

attraction to Dean...

Take a seat.
Take some heat off these feet.

You love turning things into raps.
Oh, I love rapping.

..and on the honeymoon, Sarah's
spark never ignited.

Have you ever been
with anyone big?

No, I have to admit. No.

But Dean remained optimistic

he could make it out of the friend
zone.

Have you been cuddling any pillows?
No,

I've not been cuddling any pillows.
I'm waiting for the real thing.

Get some tattoos
and losing some weight, maybe.

It's nice to be home.

Like, I feel home as well now
because we're so far away.

I do wonder if living together
is going to progress anything, if

intimacy side of things is going
to happen or

if it's going to go
the opposite way.

It's not the first time I've kind of
been in the friend zone, you know?

It kind of does change, it
does change, so

just trust the process.
Trust me.

It will come it, will come.

Touch wood.

All the wood, all the wood.

It's all just becoming a little bit
real now. Is it, yeah? Yeah.

I don't want to get upset.
I don't want to be upset.

It's OK. It's a lot. It is a lot.

Like, you just moved in with a
stranger,

we knew each other for a week.

Do you know what I mean? Yeah.

I don't like seeing anyone upset,
especially,

like, my wife.

It's making me a bit anxious.

I wasn't expecting it.

Because you're so positive,

but like, you just don't let
anything sort of...

Rain on my parade. Yeah.

Trust the process and don't think
that, cos if you do, that's

half the battle lost
in my head, you know?

It's all about mindset.
Life's all about mindset.

Your life's as good as you want it
to be.

I thought I'd fancy the pants
off my husband and I don't.

I just thought my experience
would be different.

That's class. Oh, that's cute.

That's the best photo I've ever had.
Yeah, same.

Next chapter I'm really
looking forward to.

I want to jump in with two feet.

If anything how the honeymoon's
gone, then

this will be a breeze.

Compatibility is probably off
the scale at this point.

Let's have some snacks. Yeah.

I've never lived with a guy
before, so

I don't know what to expect.
Go on, tuck right in.

I do really like Steven.

The honeymoon was amazing,
but now we're in the real world I'm

just a bit
apprehensive of how it's going

to go and the bubble
is going to be burst.

This is probably going to be
the biggest test, living together.

Yeah, it'll be the biggest
test, absolutely.

Is there anything you think I could
work on?

Obviously, like, you just want a
little bit of reassurance from me.

I think reassurance

for me can be quite hard to give
if I feel like I've given enough.

Mm-hm.

A lot of my friends, they
say, like, I'll self-sabotage, but

I need reassurance,
because boyfriends

in the past have blindsided me
and I've had no idea.

So I do need a little
bit of reassurance sometimes.

I don't think we're going to really
have many issues living together.

No. No.

At the moment I, think me and Leah
are more of, like, a friendship.

She's just not my initial type, so

for me it's just been a little
bit difficult

to build that romantic
and physical connection.

But I'm not going to force anything.

We'll have to see
if you get on my nerves.

You actually might get on
my nerves too.

I'm just a more reserved, chilled
person.

I think it'll definitely

test us, moving in together.

It worries me.

She's going
to be this annoying little princess

that wants this and wants
that and gets her own way.

I think we should have
delegated jobs though.

OK, but I'm not doing your
washing.

There isn't really any intimacy

I have been definitely trying a bit

more, because I know I need
to be trying in this process.

Got to go somewhere.

It can't just keep as a friendship.
It's not going to work like that.

I think we've had, you know,

our ups and downs
and it's been quite tricky,

but I feel like I'm glad that we've
had it like early on as well and

we can, like, understand how
to, like, tackle conflict

and that when it comes up, that kind
of energy

and that like tornado between us.

Do you know what I mean? Yeah.

CHEERING

Hi.

It's love at first sight.

Despite having instant
chemistry on their wedding day...

CHEERING

I've woken up with, like, a,
different thought this morning.

I'm not having that desire.

..Divarni didn't measure
up to Julia-Ruth's expectations.

I have dated, like, taller guys. Oh.

Yeah, that hurt.

Shit.

Different energy levels...

Growing up, I was always alone.

And I think knowing
that I could potentially be alone

for the rest of my life,
that would be the worst. Yeah.

..and Divarni's outlook on life...

He doesn't see any positives
with me.

It's just too much.

..cause deep divides in the
marriage.

The last thing I want to do is talk

about traumas and then, like,
get into bed with you.

There's trouble in paradise, innit?

You know what, conflict
isn't a bad thing.

Like, I'm glad we had it so that we
know how to proceed. Yeah.

It's not a nice thing to have,
but, like, it's important.

Imagine if we were, like, it's, all
happy daisies and roses

and it's like...

I feel like just...
Just the honeymoon,

I feel like
whether it was smooth sailing

or not for other people,
we came back stronger anyways.

I think that's just the
key part to it.

Going into this dinner party,

we've come through our trials
and tribulations

We've come back stronger
and I'm here to show off my wife

and walk in loud
and bold, confidence, head up.

I've probably got the most
beautiful wife out there.

We're unpenetrable right now.

Hopefully we can be an inspiration
to the other couples as well.

And... Damn, an inspiration.
Yeah, definitely an inspiration.

Um, we don't have the same reality.

We do not have the same reality.

I'm absolutely bricking it
for this dinner party.

We have to show the confidence
and not be going into this thing,

be like "OK, cool, we've
had our troubles, but

"we're still lingering on the
issues."

We're coming in as a team.

We know what we've been through.
We've got our chest out high.

Yeah.

That was wonderful. Mm.
And I'm glad we waited.

Yeah, same, for sure.
Definitely worth it.

Yeah. And doing it in our own beds.

Yeah, in our house. Probably try it
again, you know.

Yeah. Practice makes perfect.
Absolutely.

Let's just keep trying it
and trying it and trying and trying.

HE LAUGHS

We have finally gotten intimate. Ay!

Feeling absolutely fantastic.

We never thought it was going to be
a problem and it definitely wasn't.

I think we both felt very safe
with one another emotionally

and have built a really
strong connection, so...

Yeah. ..that was always going
to be the easy part.

Right now I feel like me and him,
there's nothing we cannot handle.

We're really good.
I just really want this next chapter

to start, because I feel like we're
in a really good space right now.

Crikey. That's a good one of
you. Don't you think?

You didn't drop me. So that's good.

I think the next chapter is going
to be exciting.

I'm going to have
to be on my best behaviour.

Where's the washer dryer?
Hang on.

Sink, so water will be here.

Oh, dishwasher.

My heart sank a little
bit within minutes of arriving here.

Hey!

Feeling very nervous,

apprehensive about sharing a compact
space with Paul.

Hoover, washer dryer, ironing board.

Happy days.

Yeah he's just...

He's overwhelming.

He's frantic at the moment.

Now we're talking!

I found the bathroom.

I need to have a conversation

with Paul with regards
to how we're going to move forward.

Things have cropped
up during the honeymoon that's

kind of been little red flags
for me.

I'm worried about the cupboard
space though.

Why? Not sure
if I'm going to get any.

I need to be honest with Paul.

I need
to see how I'm actually feeling.

It's crunch time for me.

I need to have a little
chat with you, Paul.

Is that all right? Yeah. Yeah?

I've tried to get to know Paul.

I've asked him lots of questions.

However, Paul has took no interest
in my life.

When I get nothing back from Paul,
my heart sinks.

I have to have the conversation with
him.

How have you found it?

Um...

Difficult at times.

Do you think you know
a lot about me?

Do you think you've asked questions
about my family?

No.

Not at all, no.

So I know your three children's
names.

Do you know my two children's names?

No.

Paul never listens.

He doesn't even know
my children's names.

I've told him a hundred times.

I mean, take some interest, Paul.

For me, that is the basics.

I need some time out.

So...

I won't be...

..living in this apartment with you.

I'm feeling rejected at the moment
from Anita.

I've had in my life many rejections.
I'm used to it.

I'm skilled at it.

I have a master's in it,
PhD in it.

My job now is to convince her
to get back together.

We'll wait and see.

Paul's not the person I was hoping
for.

I know that sounds really harsh,
but...

..he's not.

I just want to see everyone.
Yeah.

Do you think everyone got along?

Nah.

THEY LAUGH

My biggest one is that
yeah, like, other people are,

you know, maybe further along
in their marriages than we are.

I think that's my main concern.

Everyone's got a good base.
We can't let it affect us too much.

No. Definitely not. Yeah.

Obviously the honeymoon,
there was ups and downs,

but myself and Julia-Ruth

have come back on stronger
terms. Going into this dinner party,

we're just there supporting
each other.

I think I'm a bit nervous
in terms of,

like, questions that might come
our way.

We might be put
under the microscope tonight.

I just hope that Divarni and I can
stand united together.

Are you ready
for the first dinner party?

Yes. Absolutely.
All the couples have now returned

from their honeymoons

and are settling in together
in the marital homes.

Now, this dinner party will prove
a real challenge for our newlyweds.

It will test their early connections

and, in some cases, highlight
their glaring differences.

Whoa! Oh, my gosh.

Geez.

Well, first in, we
have Sarah and Dean.

And they're holding hands.

I feel like this is possibly a
good sign.

Just be our fun selves, you know?
Have a good time.

It'll be fun. Absolutely.

Had a fun honeymoon, you know?

CLEARS THROAT

Sarah looks really tense, actually,
doesn't she?

Just keep the rapping to a minimum.
Hmm. Singing.

Oh!

No, but the rap will be on request.

That will be fine. Oh, my God.

So there's the first
boundary that's been laid down.

Keep the rapping to a minimum.
Yeah.

Oh, my gosh. Who's here?

THEY CHEER

Nelly and Steven.

They look happy.

THEY CHEER

Good to see you. How you been, bro?
It's lovely to see the energy

that both Nelly and Steven
are bringing,

and I'm hopeful that they're
in a really good place.

It looks like they are. Yes.

So how's it been? Yeah, it's been
good.

Yeah. I know.
I hate to say it out loud.

When I met with Nelly
before the experiment started,

she talked about finding it quite
hard to open up,

so it's really nice here
at this very early stage

to hear her saying,
"I quite like Steven."

How do you feel Deany boy?

Obviously he is lovely.

Lovely, lovely, Lovely. Yeah.

I was disappointed.

Oh.

He's super high energy, but it
gets annoying.

Yeah. And I sort of need...

Need the space. Yeah.

He does this thing where he, like,
starts rapping.

He loves to rap.

Do you like a rap? No.

Really?! Is his rapping that bad?

My sense is the rapping is code
for something else.

Yes.

How's it been for you? Yeah.
Like, we get on.

We get on really well.

It's kind of just not been that,
like, intimacy side yet, really.

But I was like, "I've been
in the friend zone before.

"Trust me - you'll fall for me."

She's like... I'm like, "Trust me.
It'll come."

HE LAUGHS

Although Dean is laughing,
that must be quite hurtful for him.

There's someone coming in. Ah! Hey!

Hi!

Oh, my God! Hey!

MEL LAUGHS

Big smiles. There's a happy
and confident entrance.

Yeah. Absolutely.

Look at this man.
Look at this man.

Look at this man.
Oh, and the big pash!

That's a lot going on right there.
Yeah.

Missed you. Missed you!
How's everything. Yeah.

OK. You? Oh, we, great.
I can see that.

It was instant as well.
We are discussing...

I do apologise right now
because we are very,

very, strongly falling
for each other.

Wow. I mean, isn't that
an incredibly

strong statement
at this early stage?

"We are falling for each other."
How's it going?

How were the wedding days?
Tell us about yours first.

Yeah, yeah. Want to hear about
yours.

Yeah, he's perfect in every way.
I have no complaints.

Every way? Every single way.

Oh.

Gotta ask these questions.

Why? What's happening?

It's just not what I thought.

I only heard really good things.
Oh, he's lovely.

The attraction is just nothing.

There's no...nothing there.
Have you guys talked about it?

Yeah.

He's not bad-looking at all.

Just I don't know. Is it, like...?

Is it something you cannot pass?

No. It's just he's got no tattoos.
OK. You can get tattoos.

He doesn't want tattoos.

What's so interesting about Sarah
is she's someone

who has said her past
type didn't work for her, right?

And her past type

was mainly based on
physical characteristics.

And she wanted someone different,
and she wanted someone nice.

This is exactly what we've delivered
in Dean,

but yet she's very quickly
shutting him down.

Hello! Joe and Maeve.

Hi!

They look happy. Yeah.

I've been waiting for this,
you know.

Do you know what it is?
I'm actually so happy with him.

Aw! Yeah.

He's funny. It's just everything

he says, like, in his accent is
just... Where's he from?

Where's he from?
Is it Yorkshire? Yeah.

Halifax. Halifax.

I keep remembering
because that's who I bank with.

So has anyone, um,
Christened their...

Look at you!

SHE LAUGHS

What? Conversation is getting a
little bit complicated.

OK. Guilty!

Yeah, fine.
That's the confirmation.

Yes. Yes.

HE LAUGHS

Have you? Yeah. Wow.
It was not a

"I'm happy for you" wow. No.

Today.

THEY LAUGH

It must be hard hearing
another couple talk

about their sexual escapades

when she isn't at
that stage with Dean.

I think I'm a bit
nervous for tonight

because she said she kind
of compares, like, just naturally.

And she's hearing everyone
probably doing well and

she'll be like, "Oh,
"we should be further along."

There's a few rules come in
because I sing a lot and rap a lot.

And it was annoying her. She's like,
"You sing all the time."

And she's just getting used
to it now?

No, she told me to kind of... She
was like, "Can you stop it?
Why are you doing it?"

Oh, really? Yeah, yeah.
All right. OK.

So how do you think you're going to
be living together and that?

Are you sharing a bed?

Sharing a bed and all that.
Like, all fine, because

I'm just like... I'm like, "Look, no
rush, no pressure, nothing."

Have you had, like, no intimacy at
all?

No. Not even a kiss or anything.
Really?!

Yeah, yeah. She's kind of never
really been with

a bigger person,
you know, type thing. OK.

And I'm like, "Oh, that's OK."

I was like, "I'm not bad looking.

I'm just fat." Like, that's it.

It's quite clear that right now he's
feeling rejected.

Well, it's fine. It doesn't
bother me.

Yes, it does.

Hey!

Grace and Ashley. Looking good.

Looking happy, relaxed.

Tell us the story. Yeah.
How's it going?

I think, uh,
sort of found out quite early,

like, we're completely different

in the way we, like, flirt and
everything.

Oh, God. I'm like very hands-on,
touchy and that.

And she hates being touched.

THEY LAUGH

We all have a right to enjoy,
touch or not.

We probably need to learn a little
bit more about

what that means for her.
But then, look, we

just had a conversation and... It's
learning, innit?

Mate, we communicate so well. So,
like, turned the relationship 180.

We're really,
good. Getting on really well.

Yeah? Yeah. She couldn't look at me
to start with

and now she's snorting laughing
and all sorts.

I'm doing something right.

It's working.

More of this.

He's saying, "I'm trying
to learn my partner.

"I'm trying to listen, I'm.
trying to understand her."

How are you? Yeah, good, thank you.
How are things going?

In a good place?
He's a very nice bloke.

We had some, uh...
Sort of spiralled at my wedding.

I just sort of panicked, I think.

Ash very naturally put
all this trust

in the experts and was like,
"You're my wife.

"We're together. Let's go."
And I was like,

"Whoa, you're a stranger."

Kind of did what I always do, which
was just like

instead of even thinking

about one thing I liked, I
was like, "No, I don't like this!"

OK.

But then we pulled it back.
He's so patient.

He's so tolerant.
He, like, makes me laugh.

And that's about building a good,
solid foundation, isn't it,

in the relationship?

Having those early struggles,
overcoming them.

But it's all like settled down now?
Yeah, definitely.

The communication we've
got is fantastic.

Yeah. I feel like quite proud of us.

I think we do it better than people
who have been married for ten years.

That amazing girl. Yeah.
That's a bold statement.

Very.

We're getting on so well.

You know, for me, no attraction
there. OK.

And it's very much friend vibes.
Fine.

Can't find anything?

Hearing all of the other couples

and all been
having sex on honeymoon and

I'm just like...
I let him hold my hand today.

He's now said to me,

"Look, I'm going to leave you to
make the move."

And I'm like...

I'm frustrated, I'm annoyed.

Dean is so far away from my
usual type.

I wish I was, like, being intimate

on honeymoon, and
we weren't. I'm gutted.

I'm gutted I'm not there.

He's like joke all the time.

Do you know what, though?

Maybe he's desperately trying
to, like,

make you feel better.

Think of the key word
that you just said there.

Desperately trying... Yeah.
Desperately.

It's giving me the ick.

It's starting to feel like Sarah
is mocking Dean.

This is getting really frustrating
to watch, isn't it?

I mean, once you've got the ick,
you've got the ick, haven't you?

It's the way that Sarah's going

about it that feels so
disrespectful.

Telling everyone
about all the issues that Dean has.

That's a sign of immaturity.

Someone who has no clue as to
what it is that they need in life.

If he went in for a kiss, I'd
be like,

"Whoa!" I need that attraction.

I just wanted that spark, that
fire.

There's no spark there.

Yeah, it's just cute.

Oh! Oh. Oh!

Anita! Oh, no.
You're by yourself.

Oh, she's on her own.
Hiya. Are you all right?

Oh, Anita's alone.

I've been thinking about you
all week.

She seems happy
to see her support group. Yeah.

Where's your husband? Somewhere.

I'm not too sure where,
though. Yeah. Are you guys OK?

Are you good?
We do get on.

It's kind of there. His
sense of humour and

he's a gentleman and...
Yeah, but the deepest stuff,

we're total opposites. Yeah.

Just needed some time apart.

So I've moved into a different
apartment.

Fine. Absolutely fine. Yeah.
Space is the best thing.

Yeah. It was just kind of a make

or break for me whether I
was going to stay in the apartment.

And I just said, "Paul, what's
my two children called?"

He went...

Oh, no!

Yeah. The basics, isn't it?

I've just got up, got the case
and went.

My sense is she's putting such
an emphasis on

that because that's a real value
for her.

Actually, she shouldn't really be
testing him at this stage

because they are
getting to know one another.

So that feels quite a shame.

He's never been in a relationship
for 15 years, either.

So you're feeling a bit like,
why would you not date for 15 years

and then get married
to a complete stranger?

You're a bit like, "What's
that all about?"

He hasn't dipped his toe in

along the way. It's been more
of a self-discovery

experiment for him rather than a
a love journey,

what it's been for me, kind of.

Maybe he does need some time
to adjust.

But it doesn't sound like Anita has
that patience right now.

Hi, hi, hi, hi! Hello.
We're coming to say hello.

Are you doing OK? Are you? Yeah,
good. Are you all right?

Are you OK? How are you?
Yeah, good. Good.

What about...

He's an absolute hoot. Honestly,
he's a sweetheart.

He's lovely.

But the attraction's not there
for me.

Do you think that'll ever come?
I don't think so.

I'm going to be honest.

Looks-wise. tall, tanned,
tats was my thing.

I was like, "Would you get a sleeve
or something or

"a wee neck tat?" But no.

She's creating this
really rigid, fixed

mindset. Yeah. And we're so early
in the piece.

She's literally going around

to everyone in the group
and talking about this.

I didn't really realise how big

the attraction thing was for me, if
you know what I mean.

So it is what it is.

CHEERING

Oh, he's happy. Yeah.

Rebecca and Bailey. And it looks
like they have

maybe blown up in a good way.
In a positive way.

Yeah.

She's stunning, isn't she? I've done
all right.

How are things?
How was the wedding? Right, so,

both got to the wedding.
It's overwhelming, isn't it?

It's so overwhelming. A lot of
emotions. There wasn't that
instant spark.

And then since our honeymoon, like,
literally adore him.

Aw!

He's such a gorgeous person.
Like a little best mate.

I fancy him. So, yeah, we've
just been on the up.

Aw!

I can feel the
fucking electricity in the room

with everyone
I am surrounded by.

And I am like, "What is going on?!
Why is it not me?

"Why is it not me?" It is so
hard. I want to have

that fire. They're all kissing and
like,

you can just feel it,
and we don't have that.

CHEERING

And here's our gorgeous ladies,
Leigh and Leah.

Style.

So were you in dresses or suits?
Both dresses.

It's been an adjustment

for me to try and get used to,
like, the feminine element.

And I wouldn't say we're at
a romantic point.

We've said that we're going to,
like, build the friendship first.

How's yours been? Good.

The sexual connection
isn't there yet.

It's not there yet? No. No.
You feel like you're a bit

more like friendship level...?
At the minute, yeah.

But the deeper connection
is there and it has been growing.

Isn't it nice
to hear this time someone talking

about having a type but
being open to someone different?

Where are you at?
Oh, like, I'm obsessed with him.

Fuck off. Are you?

Aw. Yeah, we
get along really well.

We've both been, like, really
honest about everything.

Yeah. Like, EVERYTHING from the
very start.

And I've never had that with anyone.

Have you..? What, shagged
him? Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, you have? Was it good?
Yeah. Yay! We love!

I think she's trying to tell us
that they've had more than one

or maybe two intimate
moments together, which

is just really lovely.

Yeah.

Can you say much or not? Yeah.

They're getting on like a fucking
house. Are you?

I hate the fact that
how's it been Like

a week and a half...
Feel like you've

known him forever? Yeah, and
it's really freaking me out, man.

It's freaking me out.

It was freaking me out.

Don't. You can't.

I'm so worried
about becoming emotionally

dependent on someone
that they will then learn who I am,

think I'm too much and then break
my heart and want out.

Nelly is leaning into her past

of having all of
these traumatic experiences,

so then she begins looking
for red flags.

So right now her friends
are saying, "No, no, no.

"If things are good,
look for the green."

Divarni and Julia-Ruth.

Stunning, guys!

EXCITED SCREAMS

You guys all right? Hi.
Davide. Nice to meet you.

So we've got Julia-Ruth that's
come in really

high energy, lots of fun.

And Divarni,
who looks a little bit subdued.

Oh!

Fill us in. What's the energies and
everything like? Seems good.

Mad, bro. Because
that was the big thing.

Yeah. We're literally like yin
and yang.

Like, we're literally the exact
same person, bro.

Yeah? Yeah. So I'm very happy, man.

100.

Wow. Strong statement.

We're literally yin and yang.
They are the same person.

Wow.

Oh!

Without heels?

Like we, get on very well but, like,
sometimes

he's, like, trauma dumping his past
and everything,

and I'm just like... There's no
chance for me to get a word in.

It kind of feels like we're two very
different energies there.

It's like we're peering into two
very different relationships here.

He's really happy with how much
energy and it's really cute.

OK. They're like,
um, they're like the same person,

male, female.

OK. It was super cute.
Like, super, super happy.

OK. Is she happy?

Yeah. No, we've got too
much similarities.

Too much similarities. In
a good way or a bad way?

Very good way. Very good way.
Everything's great,

I'm not going to lie.

I mean, there's clearly two
different narratives going on here.

I don't know about you guys,

but I'm feeling a little
bit confused right now.

Two very separate individuals.

Oh, there they are. Hey!

Chez moi. Where's my wife?
Where's my wife?

Where's my wife? Oh, here's Paul.

Do you want to stand up? Yeah.
I'll do whatever you want to do.

Yeah, I'll just stay with you.

It's nice
to see Grace having Anita's back.

Yeah? Where is she? There, go on.

Are you all right? Yeah.
Had a good day?

Uh, it's been a long day. Yeah.
I'll tell you what. You look nice.

My main plan of action
is to speak to my wife, Anita.

I really want to make sure she's

in a good headspace
and she's ready to move forward.

Paul, is it that you panicked in the
moment where you forgot

the name of Anita's children,

or was it that you didn't know
or take interest?

It's taken me eight days to remember
the grooms' names.

So you think it's a memory issue?
I have four tattoos.

My children dates of birth....

..and their names. Right.

Now you get the experts, so they can
help you with all this stuff.

Perhaps. I said to you,
in your past,

what has been your past
relationship breakdowns?

What did I say? You avoided the
question again.

No. Sometimes you have to be...show
a little bit of weakness.

Pardon? Vulnerability?

As soon as it comes
down to relationships

and personal stuff,
for some reason he just diverts.

Listen. Do you know what I spent the
day doing?

Steaming my clothes.

There's the other meaningful,
deep stuff that also matters

in a relationship
other than making you laugh.

Do you know Anita's Paul?

Anita said that they'd spent the day
apart today.

God, I felt like I was the only

one going through
the fucking wringer.

I was like... What do you mean?

Because you know what?
It's been a lot.

It's been hard. Yeah.

Has he just said
it's been easy sailing?

Since everyone walked in
it was like...

Yeah. He said, oh, like...

Yin to Yang kind of thing.

We've had issues like this is where
it's just

like one of us is not receiving
the information.

Have you had more of a deep

chat to say, like, look, this
is...? We have!

He knows. So this is interesting.

Julia-Ruth is getting feedback from

the group that Divarni thinks
they're really well matched.

Is it that Julia-Ruth is presenting

in a way that makes him feel
like everything is fine?

Or is he someone that sort
of has his head in the cloud?

You all loved-up? Nah!
Wait what's going on?!

I mean, we're going step by step.
The spark is definitely there.

Yeah. Did he just say the spark
is definitely there?

He said it's DEFINITELY there.

I'm so happy you're happy?

Julia-Ruth? This is really hard.

Why?

Because he's not
what you wanted, isn't it?

Voice your issues.
Don't blindside him.

Don't blindside him.
Please don't do that.

I feel awful.
You just don't feel it yet.

I want to and I'm trying.
But you can't...

I'm trying so hard.

We spoke about having each other's
backs and being honest and open.

Makes me look fucking stupid,

telling people
that we're having hard times.

You're saying it's fucking great!

SHE SOBS

Hello, guys. I'm coming over.
Is that OK?

Yeah? Do you want to step out? Yeah.

Where's your wife gone?
Julia-Ruth? She is somewhere.

I don't know.

Divarni not even knowing
if Julia-Ruth is in the room?

It's like these two are not even on
the same planet.

I just feel awful
because I just feel

like I'm going to be like
a bitch because

I feel this way, like.

And I'm trying the best I can,
smiling through everything.

But you don't have to, though.

But I'm going to cry
if I don't. Fucking cry.

So are you happy? Very.

Both of you vibing with each other?

100% vibing.

I think it's really hard to work out
why Divarni

has such a different view of
the relationship.

Don't ever feel like you're being

a horrible person by voicing
what you want.

Don't! No.

But I do!

I feel like a fucking monster.

Wow. Oh!

Gorgeous. Woo! Amazing.

Sarah, Dean, boom!

Head of the table, Madam. Thank you,
darling. Hello, hello, hello.

Hiya, mate? Fancy seeing you
here. It's a bit posh

for you, isn't it?
Very posh for me.

Mum and dad.

Yeah, we're the mum and dad of
the crew.

How's things? Yes. Yeah?

You disappeared for a minute.
Yeah. It's all good.

Oh, you could cut the tension with
a knife.

I feel good.

Hey, guys.

I know a few of you have
probably heard that I rap sometimes.

CHEERING

All right.

# Here we are
on this mad experiment

# Seeing things not in our element

# Learning
what we may grow to be... #

RAPPING ECHOES OFF

I feel like I have experienced
a lot of the raps now.

# Hands up in the air... #

I mean, he's rapping in
the shower, he's rap...

Like, I can hear him and stuff
and I'm like,

the novelty for me has worn off.

ALL CHEER

OK.

OK, G.

SNICKERS
What?

INDISTINCT

Awkward, weren't it?
Well awkward.

So...fabulous.

One more. Oh, no, you've got
lipstick all over you.

Have I? Is it bad?

No just leave it on there.

Lots of physical affection.
Maybe love is in the air.

Have you guys actually sat
and spoken about

what it is that you would
like to sort of change?

I think we knew quite early
that we were on different paces.

I'm quite a talker and

then she said to me one day,
"You know nothing about me.

"Why don't you ask me questions?

And I said,
"Because, it's not my style.

"I volunteer the information.
Right.

I did this, I went here,
I did that and, I did that.

She likes to have a conversation
and be asked.

And do you find it hard to be like,
"Sorry, can I talk now?"

No, she's quite polite.

I'll just let her him...
Oh, fuck that.

Why don't you maybe have a signal
where, like,

"Cut, Yeah. Shut the fuck up!"

Observing Anita tonight she,

looks like she's completely
lost her sparkle.

Yes. Doesn't she? All of that
zest for life and that energy,

that we know she possesses,
has just been zapped away.

I honestly look at everyone and
I'm, like...

I said to Steven earlier,

I was like, um,
"All the girl's are gorgeous.

"Like, is there anyone
that you want to be with?"

And he was like...

Is that what you...?

Oh, my God. Neelima.

Oh, God, not on the first date.

Like, why is she asking Steven?

"Like, are you attracted to any of
the other wives?"

Like, it's just an insecurity.

I'm giving myself the ick. I say it

and I'm, like, "stop",
and it just...

Do you know what? I think you're
surprised at how much you like him.

So you're sabotaging it.

Because I don't think you expected
to get someone that you would like.

Oh, my God you're, so right.
It's fine,

cos I can say it to the girls.
Yeah, 100%.

Not only
is she showing her insecurity but,

she's acknowledging
that she is being insecure.

She realises that this is a weakness

that she has
and she is trying to work on it.

Yeah.

It's crazy because you think,
I bet everybody else is getting on

and I bet there's loads
of attraction there.

And it's just like tonight is kind
of like, wow, it's so diverse.

Come here. You OK?

My light has been dimmed.

You can talk to me.

Me and Julia-Ruth are having
the same issue.

We don't have a spark
with our partner.

And I'm not going to lie,
I'm actually quite, like,

glad that someone else is
experiencing the same thing as me.

OK, so I'm struggling because...

..I think it's been glossing
over how hard it's been.

Do you thing he's been telling
everyone that it's fine?

Yeah.

These two are
in two different relationships.

What we need to really figure out
is how they got to that point.

I just have a little question
because I just I think I was just

a bit thrown off
when you were like that's not what

I'd heard when I explained what the
honeymoon was... Yeah. Yeah.

..like, your face shocked but you
were like... Yeah. Yeah.

I went and spoke to your husband,

and the conversation
was entirely different.

Entirely different.

Like, he said
that how amazing it was.

Like you were vibing, ra-ra-ra,
everything he wants.

We said that we were going to be
open and honest and say,

"Look, shit hit the fan", but I'm
just hearing that it was great.

Yeah, that's what we're hearing too.
You're on different pages.

Yeah, your reality is different,
so different.

Hearing how he perceives
our relationship,

like, apparently everything
has been smooth sailing

and he's brushing over everything
like we're a fucking power couple.

On what planet?

Do you want to come closer?

When people are asking how things
are going, are you just saying good.

The honeymoon was not easy.

100%. I'm not saying it's all
Gucci, nah.

What I think is really confusing,
is that Divarni has painted

a picture
that this relationship is great,

but he's not actually acknowledging

that now he's been called out
by Julia-Ruth.

I think he's embarrassed.

Because I sat
down and spoke with Steve.

Joe and Rebecca, and they said
they have a completely

different response from you.
Then that's not true.

Just be honest.

Don't...

I'm just sharing some stories and

I don't want to look like a dickhead
for being like, "Oh, it's, hard",

and you're, like, it's great, and
then I look like a like a dumbass.

No, no, no, absolutely...

..because I look like I'm being
mean saying that, like, it's hard.

No, no, no. And you're like,
"Oh, it's roses."

I just feel like fuck me dead.

They've heard a different story.

It makes no sense.

Maybe how I articulated our issues

could have been a little
bit sugar-coated which,

would stem from a little
bit of pride.

Look we're, a team.
I'm here to unite us.

But at this moment
I feel locked out.

How has it all been, then?
Yeah, it's been... It's been good.

Has it? We get on really well.

Like we, like, laugh all the time.
I can see that yous

are both, like, proper nice,
like happy... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

She's got such a good heart.

He asked me if I'd ever slept with
anyone fat before, and I said no.

But people work on themselves.
Do you know what I mean? Yeah.

Do you know what I'm getting?
Yeah, he did before.

Do you know what I mean?
He lost some weight.

She said I'm kind of
not her normal type.

And she's never been with a bigger
party before,

so it's kind of a bit new to her.

And I was like I, appreciate you
being honest and telling me...

What do you mean bigger?

Just new for her, isn't it?
Don't say you're big.

Yeah, I am though. Like the scale
would and the BMI. You know like,

like, I'm OK with it,
it's not like a thing for me.

He keeps calling himself
the funny fat kid.

Remember when we were
in the hen do

and you said I always go
for the bad boy, the red flags?

He ain't a bad boy.
He's like a Care Bear.

Oh. Yeah, it's not a very hot thing
to say about your partner. No.

A lot of what she's showing when she
talks about Dean is disgust.

Sarah's already entered the zone of
being disrespectful.

That just wasn't kind.

How ridiculous, how petty, how low.

And that's something that
needs to end.

Guys.
WHISTLES

CHEERING

Good evening, newlyweds.

"In this box, a question
designed to help you navigate

"the problematic
aspects of your marriage,

"as well
as celebrate the more positive.

"Please remember they
will hold little value

"if you do not respond with courage
and absolute honesty.

"Love, Charlene, Paul and Mel."

Oh. Well read.

Grace, how, far do you think we've
come in terms of progress

since our wedding day?

I think we've made great progress.

We started rock bottom, so...

Couldn't have got worse, really.
Yeah.

I didn't think you were coming away
on the honeymoon to be honest.

No lie. I was like,
"Should I be going?"

I know, I know. "He's so nice.
Why is she so mean?"

LAUGHTER

I'll hold my hands up. I
spiralled, I misjudged,

he, misspoke and we talked it out,

and...we're good, we're great.
We're...yeah.

Ashley, what are my best
and worst qualities?

Best quality is 100%
your personality.

Like, you light up
wherever you are instantly.

- You're a really lovely girl.
- Aw!

Marry me, marry me.

Joking. Jo...

Joking.

Oh. Oh! PAUL: Ooh.

Ouch!
Yeah, that joke didn't land.

Your worst quality.
It's like how many can I give?

Maybe just jumping
to conclusions straight away

about something
that you think is happening.

Maybe it's not exactly
as you thought it was.

Fair. Fair. I'll take it.

Sarah. Oh, gosh.

What has been the hardest part
of the experience for you so far?

Probably the intensity, I would say.

Marrying a stranger.

Going halfway across the world
with someone I don't really know.

Moving in together.
I have struggled,

and you know I have, you know. Yeah.

So, yeah, I would definitely
say the intensity

has been the hardest part
for me so far.

Yeah. That's...good.

It's actually quite
humiliating for Dean

because, actually, Sarah
has already gone around

and told everyone
that she's not attracted to him.

What we need is honesty.
It's quite cruel.

Dean, what do you hope
for in our future together?

I hope that
we can kind of just continue,

like, getting to know each other

and grow and not have any pressure
on anything

and just concentrate on us,
you know, just make sure we're OK.

I'm hoping it'll kind of get to that
place where that spark is there,

and it's kind of magical.

It's making me cringe a little bit.

I don't want magical.

I want fiery.

I came here to find the one,

I've given this opportunity and this
experience everything.

Like everything.

There's something not right here.

Neeli... Can you see yourself
falling for me?

Go on now. Um.

CLEARS THROAT

It's very hard for me to say.

No pressure, girl.

Yeah, yeah. Yes.
Let's just move on.

Yes, you're great, go.

It's tough, I know.

Why is it so hard for you
to talk about falling for somebody?

Do you know what it is?
I think, um...

I think I'm so afraid of, um,
being so emotionally, like,

open and vulnerable to someone...

..like thinking, like, they know

who I am and think, "You know what?
I'm not into her

"I'm not into that."

And then, uh,
and then they're like,

then they break my heart.

Just I can't, I can't with any
more. It's too much.

But you know you're not too much.

Ah, honey.

I'm sorry. Crying all over me.

Tears all over me now.
Oh, no, I hate this.

For Neeli, showing this level of
vulnerability is really difficult.

And here she's starting to do it.
I'm really proud of Neeli tonight.

For me, first night together, like
seeing my family really take to you,

I think they're the first
people you look at for validation.

And as soon as I sat down that night
at the dinner table it, was,

"Yeah, Steve, this,
is what you've been looking for",

so that's probably, for me,
the biggest validation I need.

Well done.

You can see
that just means the world to Neeli.

She is craving reassurance
and validation from him and

he's just given it to her, which
is everything she wants to hear.

Yeah, it's huge.

Anita? Yep.

What three things can
I do to make this marriage work?

I would like you to listen more.

I would like you to find out
a little bit more about me...

..and actually start
asking questions about me.

Right. Got it.

I got to remember now.

Can you not remember them?

Well, apparently that's the way he
works at home as well.

He's got post-it notes all over so,
just because he's wrote them down,

though, doesn't say
that he's going to do it.

Right, Paul.

I'm ready.

How much are you willing to fight
for this marriage?

Whoa!

I'm not sure
if fight's the right word.

Don't really want to fight
with you at all.

I'd rather work with you.

So hopefully we can build some
bridges and get over the other side.

It kind of deviates again.
Is this marriage worth fighting for?

I wouldn't say it was fighting.

It was certainly not on the same
page.

I'm in a different book.

Davide, how did you feel

when you turned
and saw me walking up the aisle?

Turning back and seeing you.

First of all I, was like, whoa!

It wasn't just that.

As soon as I hold your hand,
the entire thing just disappeared.

It was just me and him.

And since then we, haven't let go.

The way that you have the ability
to make everyone feel

so seen and so safe
and so comfortable.

It's... It's incredible.
It's like a shooting star.

You don't try and explain it,
you just appreciate its beauty.

MAN LAUGHS
Oh!

Leah.

Oh, fuck me.

Do you think you like me more
than I like you?

Mm. Oh.

I think I'm moving faster than
you are now.

100%.

Mm.

We both know where
we're at the moment.

Romance isn't where we both thought
it would be at this point.

So I think the biggest
challenge, realistically,

is going to be
whether that romance does come.

Yeah.

Uh, Maeve, how,
do you feel about me right now?

Like, as I've got to know you...

..do you know,
I actually really like you.

Like really like you

and I don't tell people that.

You can tell that.

I'm really excited to see, like,
where's it going to go.

Do you know what I mean?
And that's all I'm saying.

It's all good, love.

APPLAUSE

Um, as every day has gone on,

like, I've learned more
and more about you,

and honestly, like,
I've got that, like,

fuzzy feeling in me
where when I look at you...

Sorry.

Oh, you're going to make me cry. Oh.

I'm just gathering feelings for you.

Like I, honestly can't wait to spend
the rest of the time with you.

Oh.

CHEERING

It's so lovely to see Maeve
gradually dropping those walls.

She's really trusting Joe.
And being very vulnerable,

which we know is something
that she has really struggled with.

I just want to go home and snuggle
with you.

Um. OK.

Divarni,

how do you think I feel
about our marriage?

Hmm?

So what do you think about our
marriage is that

we've definitely hit
tough, tough times.

The honeymoon wasn't glitz and glam,
for sure.

It wasn't what I expected to,
be fair.

Um, but I'm glad that we are
where we are right now.

Um, but how you truly feel,
it's a bit...

It's a bit of a turbulent feeling.

OK.

With the honesty box I
feel like he was trying to be

a little bit more honest
because he felt the heat on him.

So he was a bit more open, but
he hasn't been that way before.

And I'm sitting there
like you seem to be in a Lala land.

Julia-Ruth,

what one thing would
you change about me?

Um.

Like,
I think it's your outlook on life

and how you respond
to things.

I think...

Ah!

It's OK, you've got this,
girl, you've got this,

you've got this,
you've got this, you've got this.

I think life can be tough

and I think we've both gone through
a lot of shit, but...

..there's no point
in dwelling on it and

I just feel like I want someone
who matches my energy.

I'm struggling
with my own emotions and I...

and I want to be there for you, but
I struggle to do it for both of us.

You are very negative.

And I feel very tired.

Sorry.

Ready? Ready.

Who do you think is the strongest
and the weakest couple at the table?

I feel like Neeli and Steven got,
like, a connection going on.

Like, there's something going on
with you two that feels strong.

OK, weakest. I don't want to say.

Sorry.

Um...

Just say it.
We're all here for a reason.

Um. Just say it, just say it.

Paul and Anita. Yeah.

And also...

..Julia-Ruth. Let's be honest,

with the struggles in particular,

your relationship and
your relationship.

I need a man who's honest.

Next time... It's the very
first commitment ceremony.

..it's time
for the couples to face the experts.

I can't communicate with you and
you don't listen.

You don't back down.
It's been difficult.

It's been proper difficult.
This isn't going to work.

Tension builds as two couples clash.

No emotional connection,
no communication.

I thought we could build from
the wedding day.

Just miles apart.

And Sarah's bad-mouthing...

Do you think that you were rude
while talking about your partner.

..catches up with her.

This man is talking
about how lovely his partner is,

and you are on the other side of
the room disrespecting him.

It's not me, it's not who I am.
