This programme contains very strong language and adult themes.

Let's take it up a notch. Previously... Oh! Ooh!

..while Charlene's intimacy workshop.. Ooh. Ooh!

..spiced things up for some couples...

Ah, I think he wants it harder. Charlene, you read my mind.

..an emotional breakthrough...

I love how everyone just loves you as a person.

That was cute. ..helped Maeve and Joe flourish.

Honestly, I think he's amazing. It's melting my heart.

Keye was just trying to have my back.

But unwelcome feedback on their marriage...

I was just telling them

that you haven't been the same since the honeymoon.

Other people don't need to know my shit.

DOOR KNOCKS ..set Steven on a collision course.

Just stay out my business.

I'm not trying to come between your relationship, I'm not.

Couldn't give a flying BLEEP if I'm completely honest.

I'm here for my relationship.

Basically just BLEEP.

Tonight... "On a scale of 1 to 10, how strong are your feelings?"

Ooh! ..the second dinner party

serves up romantic confessions from some...

9.5. Whoo! Whey!

Do you have any regrets so far?

..while others face harsher truths.

Yes.

Feel like I'm constantly calling you out for things.

I'm trying to be nice, and then they're backfiring on me.

I'm at a point of my life now,

I need to know you want the same thing.

I haven't got time to waste.

But it's gossip in the group...

He BLEEP her like two weeks before he came here.

Whoa.

Oi. ..that sparks the biggest conflict of the night.

Who has decided to say I was talking about my sexual activity?

You did! We were all there!

People are starting to BLEEP me off!

They're like that, that, that, that, that!

BLEEP! BLEEP!

Wow! Did he just say that?!

Do you want a tea, babe? Yeah I'm, spitting feathers.

That means you're angry.

No, it means that you're thirsty.

I thought it meant you're... Like feathers are coming out your mouth

cos you're so dry.

I always thought that meant you're annoyed.

Cookie? Stop force feeding me. No, no.

- Yeah. - Great!

I don't want the cookie now you've licked it.

It's Maeve's 30th birthday today,

so I just want to make it as special as possible

and celebrate her birthday together.

There you go. That's not too bad.

Maeve? She sometimes needs reassuring how special she is.

MAEVE LAUGHS What theBLEEP?

Happy birthday.

Good writing, isn't it?

And then all your stuff there.

Oh, my God! Yeah.

All I wanted was a three and a zero balloon, wasn't it?

Happy birthday. Aw, thank you so much.

I've never been treated this well off a lad on my birthday, ever.

Me and Joe are in a really good spot right now.

I just feel like we're on cloud nine.

I feel very good about myself today.

Mm-hm. What? It's nice.

Is it? MAEVE LAUGHS

Aw, sweetheart.

It is a bit salty, like.

BLEEP, me. That is salty!

After the Experts Week and the help with Charlene,

myself and Sarah were growing romantically.

Now we're holding hands, you know, now we'll cuddle.

You know, it's slowly, slowly, getting there.

And we were doing really good,

but we had a blip.

Last night, we had a massive argument.

We had had a few drinks,

and I really wish the argument hadn't happened

because we have had a really good week.

I put my foot in it again.

A member of the crew came down where we were drinking,

and Sarah said, "Oh, if you were straight, I'd be all over you."

Made me feel like,

I don't know if she'll ever feel that way about me.

So last night, we had a massive argument,

cos I was like, "Do you think you'll ever fall for me?"

She said, "I don't know."

And it did hurt.

I now have learnt from that,

and I have been apologising to Dean today.

She's saying she's not used to thinking

for somebody else's feelings,

and she went, "I'm genuinely sorry. It will never happen again."

I'm here to find love and I'm putting everything into this.

So we're going to be strong and we're going to get through this.

You want a coffee, Grace? Yes, please.

Things with me and Ash are good.

Experts Week helped the relationship.

We're getting more trusting and I'm relaxing more.

The workshop was helpful for taking the pressure off a little bit.

Did you find it awkward at all?

I'm just private, aren't I?

Did it make it more awkward that I wasn't awkward?

No, I think that probably helped, to be fair.

Grace and I are really good,

but there's that constant communication issue

where my terminology isn't always correct.

It's normally silly things.

I woke up the other morning

and her nails were overgrown,

and I was like, "Should we go and get your nails done?"

And her reply was, "I don't need to get my nails done for a man."

And I was like, "OK, it's not what I was saying, but I get it."

How do I say this?

When I met Ash, I was so disappointed

that I had this traditional person

that wants a lady and a tomboy Barbie, and all this bollocks.

It made me feel uncomfortable and not...not really me.

I've asked him not to comment on what I wear

and how I look and how I am.

He continues to do it anyway.

Anita and I are in separate apartments.

I have gave her plenty space.

I thought Expert Week was good for us.

We did the questions task,

and I asked her some direct questions,

which was what she wanted.

And I think that went quite positive.

Hello. Oh, hello, lovely!

I'd like to walk into the dinner party together,

show strength,

show we're becoming closer.

I have my fingers crossed.

That's a nice frock, innit? Thanks.

I've joined this experiment and said that I would give it 100%,

but I don't know how I feel about my marriage.

You've hardly asked any questions about me. I don't want to ask.

Since their honeymoon...

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

..issues with communication...

I know your three children's names.

Do you know my two?

No.

No emotional connection, no communication.

Just miles apart.

..and a differing approach to the pace of their marriage...

Surely you should know what you want by now.

Are you expecting me to be fully committed after two weeks?

..created problems for Anita and Paul.

You said it takes you time.

I just haven't got that time.

Love is something you build.

My timeframe may be different from her timeframe.

And that's going to be the sticking point.

Have you had a good week?

Yeah, it's been better, yeah.

What about you?

Don't know how I'm feeling.

I've took the experts' advice on board.

Done the questions,

being more open.

I don't want to give any...

..wrong signals.

Well, let me reassure you, you're not.

How would you like to arrive?

Personally, I'd like to go together.

I think we've had a better week.

We've been more communicative,

spent time together.

Your choice, madam.

I don't know.

I'm not sure whether to go into the dinner party with Paul.

Obviously came here looking for love,

and Paul and I are on totally different pages.

Different books, to be honest.

He feels that if he does ask questions,

he feels like he's being intrusive,

he's being nosy.

As always, I don't know how he feels deep down.

I'm not sure what Paul wants, to be honest.

How do you think the week's gone?

It's been up and down-ish.

The workshop with Charlene was interesting.

Yeah.

I wouldn't say that the intimacy workshop brought me and Leah closer

because intimacy is still not massively progressed.

We went through that whole situation

where Leah was being flirty with Rebecca.

And it annoyed me, I felt disrespected.

I just feel like they're going to ask us,

"Have you done your homework?"

Yeah, but we're not in any rush to be doing anything

that we don't want to do.

I'm frustrated.

I'm putting my all on the table.

Do I feel like I'm getting that back? Absolutely not.

We did take a load of different bits and pieces

from the intimacy workshop,

but she's dug it under the bed somewhere.

And we haven't done anything or practised anything at home.

I just hope it doesn't just stay in this friend zone

because we're here for a reason, aren't we?

Thank you.

It's been a really tough week.

I have communicated to Steven how I'm feeling,

but the effort's not there.

And I'm exhausted.

How's the rib?

You know me, I'm quite good with pain, so.

You're putting up with me, so, yeah, you must be good with pain.

Yesterday, I fell over in the bathtub and broke my rib.

When I told Steven, I just felt like he didn't really care

because he ignored how I'm feeling

and didn't come home till gone 11 at night.

Do you want to talk or not about when I broke my rib?

Sure.

I felt deflated not seeing you until very late at night.

That's just knocked me back a little bit.

She's not been my priority this week.

My stepdad is in hospital.

It's hard to think of anything other than that.

We went out for drinks last night,

and we had Steven with us.

Yeah. There's things I don't agree with that were said.

Yeah, it is quite concerning.

Steven should've been at home with Nelly,

but instead he was at the bar

bragging about his sex life before the experiment.

That is just insane.

Nelly has no idea.

And I'm not 100% sure if I should bring it up at the dinner party.

I'm struggling with that.

I think tonight will be very telling

once there's a bit of heat on him,

how strong that bond really is now.

Aw, I don't know what is going on in that boy's mind.

Nelly fell, fractured her rib.

She was hurt... Oh, right. ..and then he just decided

to stay out with the boys all night.

I just don't know where his head's at.

Both Bailey and I are really close with Nelly and Steven,

but it feels really muggy.

And I think he's treating her the wrong way.

My husband wouldn't disrespect me in that way.

And if he did, then that would be it for me.

People are going to have an opinion

on how they would've done things.

Genuinely couldn't care.

I am apprehensive about going into the dinner party.

People are going to have an opinion.

And he's going to get his back up cos people are piping in again.

They can say their own thing...

..but I'll just dismiss it,

and then see how they like that.

Steven doesn't take into account my wellbeing,

and I deserve better than that.

Do you care?

Because every single person came and checked on me apart from you.

I'm in agony, I'm in pain.

Where were you?

Here we are, guys, dinner party number two.

I cannot wait to check in

and see how all the couples are doing.

And of course, right off the back of Experts Week,

let's see if the couples put into practice

everything that they learned.

Let's take a look.

Oh!

No-one in here. First ones.

Julia-Ruth and Divarni.

Last time we saw these two,

they were not in a great place.

For Experts Week, this couple had the values ranking task,

so it's going to be really interesting

to see what that's done for them

in terms of finding alignment or otherwise.

Do you think anyone's going to come in alone?

I don't think so. I hope Anita and Paul are doing well.

Yeah. Rooting for them.

Whoo!

How are you?

Here's Leigh and Leah.

Good! How you doing, you all right? Oh, no! The first in.

Hey, lovely.

Leigh and Leah really struggled with intimacy.

So it'll be really interesting to find out

whether there has been some progress.

What have you guys been up to?

We had Intimacy Week,

and there was literally just sex toys all over a table. Was it?

Mm. We got to take them home after.

Have you used it since you've been back? No, then she put it all under the bed. Stop it.

- Really? LEAH: Swear. - All of it?

All of it under the bed.

Doesn't sound like they've been accessed.

Leah sounds quite disappointed.

The thing for me is that, I mean, we've touched first base.

We haven't gone to second base. Yeah.

So pulling out a dildo at this point. Oh, God. Aggressive.

You don't have to go like balls-to-the-walls like crazy.

What about the candle, the massage candle? Yeah.

Shall we try that later? Yeah! Let's make a pact now.

All right, then. Yeah! Don't just say it.

We're the witnesses, we're the witnesses! No, we'll do that.

You're the witnesses.

We'll do that. Oh!

I'm knocking your door tomorrow and I'm like, "How did it go?"

If I'm not burnt tomorrow with candle wax, then she's a liar.

Oh, it sounds like they might've shared a kiss,

which IS progress.

The question is, will Leigh make good on that pinky promise.

Let's see.

And Nelly and Steve?

Are we talking about the fact that he went out all day

when she had a broken rib,

and didn't come back and see if she was all right?

And everyone else was in the apartment looking after her? Yep.

Ooh. Nelly must be really suffering. Yes.

I mean, it's not what you expect from your partner, is it?

To have a broken rib and for them not to show up for you.

Something's going wrong there.

I think everyone came in and checked on her but Steven.

Hey!Hello! BAILEY LAUGHS

Hi, gorgeous. You all good?

Rebecca and Bailey.

They look like a really strong couple.

And it's because they've managed to build

both a strong physical and emotional connection with each other.

They seem to be doing really well.

Hello, girlies. How are you? Good.

Did our old Experts Week.

We had values. OK.

Our values was, like, completely opposite.

Were they? Why? What was yours? So we didn't align

on the...the sex and the looks.

Where did you put sex and looks? DIVARNI LAUGHS

That would've been.

Nah, nah. I put sex as number eight.

Eight?!

Well, I can imagine that Julia-Ruth wasn't happy to hear that,

because one thing we do know about Julia-Ruth

is that sex is right up there.

It's very important for her.

He put sex eight and then looks as nine.

Oh, my God!

Sex as eight for you is a no.

The thing that got me was that he had occupation and money

above sex and looks.

And it just was like, "So you're more worried about someone's job

"than you are your attraction to them?" The sexual connection with them. Really?

I would've appreciated if it was like five, six,

maybe something like that.

As a man, I was like, "Eight?!"

Ooh. Hey! Hey!

Hi, everyone! Wow!

Maeve and Joe.

So I saw these two for Experts Week

and we had a really good session.

Maeve had a challenge around accepting compliments,

and I believe that we were able to work her through that hump.

So we had to do an exercise when I'm looking in the mirror,

Joe's got to give me a compliment.

Was you like? Did you feel uncomfortable? You would've hated that?

You would've hated it? Hated every minute of it.

And then, obviously, then look at Joe and then repeat it back to him.

OK, that's sweet. That's so nice.

We're in a fucking great spot, man.

Like, this morning, I actually woke up genuinely, like, buzzing.

I just felt very good... Yeah. ..where I was at, do you know what I mean, with her?

So... It's a good feeling. So I just feel in a really good spot with her.

Yeah. Go on, son. Yeah, man. Cheers to that, mate. Yeah.

I feel like yous two are actually closer.

Like, every time I see you, I'm like, "Oh, bit closer, bit closer."

We have had a wobbly week, haven't we?

Our problem is,

and I'm going to speak about this at the commitment ceremony

cos I don't know where these feelings were coming from.

I felt a little bit of a type of way,

and Leah was being flirty with Rebecca.

I felt rubbed up the wrong way about it.

And we was having a bicker, and I was like,

"Look, you take a minute, we'll come back and talk about it again."

It'll be interesting to watch it play out

and see whether this really is Leigh

having deeper feelings for Leah,

or whether her pride's been hurt,

or is this triggers from her past relationships

coming up and unsettling her?

Oh, Paul.

On my own again.

Aw, no, Paul's alone. Wow.

So him and Anita are still not going too well.

How are you? Where's Anita?

I've no idea. Is she here? No, not yet.

Aw. You're in before her this time.

How are you? You look nice, darling. Thank you.

Of course, last week, Anita was talking very much

about feeling that Paul wasn't listening to her,

wasn't asking her questions or really engaging with her.

By the looks of things,

there might not have been any improvement.

Yeah. I need to take time, and I build and I build and I build.

The more I get into her mind,

the more I get to know her as a human being,

the more chance there is of loving her.

I'm disappointed that we didn't come together,

cos I've put quite a bit of effort in this week.

I hope she realises that my intentions are sincere...

..and perhaps that time

is something she will give me.

I'd like to try and build some kind of emotional connection.

Of course, yeah. And I've started to build it.

That's good.

Oh. Whoo! Whey.

Hi. Here she comes. Oh, talk of the devil. Ah.

Ah, here's Anita.

How are you? You all right?

Hello. He was talking about you. Literally talking about you.

You all right?

Well, it looked like Paul missed Anita.

The question is if Anita missed Paul.

She looks nice, doesn't she? Yeah. With a dress on.

She looks lovely.

All the compliments that Paul has are beautiful.

But is he saying this to Anita?

Why are you coming in separately?

Did you start overthinking? This morning, I did.

Just didn't want to give him any...

False hope or anything? Yeah.

I wanted to go in separate from Paul tonight

because I still believe that he's on a self-discovery journey

and I'm on a love journey.

I have no idea what Paul's thinking.

I've wasted 17 years.

I don't want to do that again.

It's quite notable that after a 17-year relationship

that never progressed,

this weighs heavily on her.

This is about past triggers from previous relationships.

Hey. Hey. Yay! Hi, everybody!

Ashley and Grace.

What an entrance.

You look dashing in your lilac. Thank you very much.

How are you, honey? Good?

So my wife bought it for me.

Oh!

Wow. Oh. My wife. My wife.

How are you?

I think you're definitely warming up to him.

Yeah. Yeah.

I just feel he's just getting a bit exhausted.

I don't think he is. But then I worry, like, aw...

We've just had a few conversations this week just about, like...

What? I don't know, I just...I just... Spit it out!

Fuck's sake!

Ash made the mistake of telling me I needed to get my nails done.

And I was like, "Ash, no-one's going to tell me how to have my nails.

"No-one's going to tell me what outfit to wear.

"That's for me."

This is a big one for Grace. Mm.

You know, as an independent woman,

having a man tell her what to wear,

how to do her nails,

this is really rubbing her the wrong way.

And this goes deep into her values.

This is not something she's just going to get over.

This is something that the two of them

really need to very carefully navigate together.

I'm really confused at the moment. Oh, no.

No, no, no. Do you know what I mean?

It's around people. You look like a really good couple.

Yeah. Like, really good.

And then the fact that the way I say things

isn't necessarily what I mean.

But... Yeah. ..things like I turned around and I was like,

"Oh, your nails look like you need doing.

"Like, shall we go and get your nails done?

And then she's like, "I don't need to get my nails done for men."

And I was like, "It's not what I meant."

That's not what you meant. But I was like, "Aw!"

Yeah, but it's like a constant thing, so we're clashing.

But then, also, like, we went out last night,

and of course I knew where I was going, but it was a surprise. Yeah.

That's a nice start. So she got ready, and then she was like, "How do I look?"

And I was like, "You look lovely, but have you got a dress?

"And that's because, I'm not telling you to wear a dress."

Yeah, I know, but you know where you're going. "I'm just saying, like, I know where we're going."

You should've probably told her before she got dressed.

Yeah. Aw, nice.

When Ashley says things like, "Wear a dress,"

I think there are lots of women that'll be like,

"Don't you tell me what to do."

Because if she's saying that this is offensive,

then what we would want from Ashley

is for him to take that on board and make changes.

So here's that opportunity to question his partner

and say, "What do you need?

"How do we interact around this?"

Can I talk to you?

I just found it very weird that Steven...

Aw, fuck me dead.

He was talking to the group and he was bragging

about how he was on Raya and how he had, like, fucked a girl

like two weeks before he came on here.

Oh, come on, Steven.

Like, he kept bragging about it.

Like, if I called Maeve here,

like, she can, like... Back it. ..affirm that.

Maeve.

What? What am I getting in for? Sorry.

OK. When we were at the bar...

Yeah.

So what I'm gathering here is that Steven's out

with all the other guys,

bragging about being with other women

on an internet dating site.

Mm. It's not a good look.

But my real concern here is that Nelly's at home

with a broken rib.

She's feeling pain, probably quite vulnerable

and really needs that support of her partner.

And it sounds like he hasn't shown up.

It wasn't just like one comment.

It was like, "Oh, yeah, and then I did this, and then I did that.

"And then also when I went with her,

"there was someone else that I went with."

And we were just like...

This would be really hurtful for Nelly.

If this gets back to her, it's really going to reinforce

any insecurities that she's having in this relationship,

and her doubts about whether Steven's interested in her.

It's out of order.

I think he's a cheeky bastard.

Oh! Oh! Hiya!

You guys look amazing! Hi!

Steven and Nelly.

I'm shocked, they actually seem pretty happy.

Poor Nelly, none the wiser.

You good? You cool? Yeah? Lovely.

How are you getting on today?

So, obviously, I've broken my rib,

and then he didn't come home until like... Yes.

..which really upset me, and I told him at the time.

I just didn't want to rock the boat

because I feel like anything I do is... But you're not rocking

the boat though. You're not the one who's rocking... I know, but I feel like

if I say anything about how I feel, then... No. ..it annoys him.

No, Anita, you need to say how you fucking feel.

I know, but it just turns into... Tell him to fuck off.

At the end of the day, you were injured,

but he still chose to go out with the lads for hours and hours.

And he was a five-minute walk away.

So Nelly's talking about being in this vulnerable position

and not wanting to say anything to him

cos she doesn't want to rock the boat.

It's a very dangerous position

walking on eggshells in a relationship,

and that's precisely what she's doing right now.

Yeah.

What's going on? Everything good or?

Mm-hm. Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm going to go chat with Steven.

You know he gets really annoyed about people

flinging their opinions... I don't give a shit. ..and I feel like it's going to go badly.

Nelly's really panicking. Mm.

Want a chat? Yeah, come on, then. I'll be back.

Where we going? Oh, hell. Ugh.

So... Yes. ..things are getting said,

and I'm obviously coming to you

prior to it going back to Nelly. Mm.

Why did you not come back all day, all night?

I said this to Nelly,

I've had an emotionally challenged week

and my stepdad's in the hospital. So, yeah...

..she's not been my priority this week,

which I've held my hands up for.

Oh, that's why. OK.

Which is why I didn't come home the other night,

which, again, held up... Yeah, it didn't look good,

not going to lie. It didn't look good. Like it was a shit move from you.

Something's happening with his stepdad.

That must be very hard.

I think it does help us understand his behaviour.

There's external pressures bearing down on Steven.

He was pulling back.

Just listen to everything first,

cos I know you'll get up and go wild.

Steve made comments about, like...

..having sex with a celeb.

Oh, hell.

It became braggy.

We're just looking at each other thinking, "What the fuck do you even say about that?"

When your wife's at home with... Yeah. ..a broken rib.

Poor Nelly.

She's been cheated on in three relationships,

so you can imagine her alarm bells will be going off.

I'm such an idiot. No! No, no, no. No.

Ew.

The night that I hurt my rib and he didn't come home,

Steven's obviously discussing who he's been with,

when your girl's at home.

I feel like an absolute fool for letting my guard down.

Just feel like he cares about himself.

Sorry to encroach.

If you care about Nelly

and you want it to go somewhere truly...

..you've got to be smarter about what you're doing.

The stuff that you've done so far don't look great.

Some of the things do look sticky.

They just look dodge.

I don't like the fact that everyone's getting involved

in Nelly and I's relationship.

People sticking their two pence in, I hate it from the off.

Way they go about their business,

they can fuck off.

Hello! Oh. Dean and Sarah.

At the intimacy workshop,

they both really gave it a good shot.

Whether the sexual attraction has grown though,

I'm not sure.

Come on, sit down and say hello.

How are you and Dean getting on?

It's tough. Yeah.

I did have a little bit of an argument.

I think you've probably heard. Yeah.

Don't know if you heard,

we had our first, like, argument.

She said to one of the crew members

that if he was straight, she would sleep with him.

Aw.

Last time we saw Sarah and Dean at the commitment ceremony,

we were quite firm with Sarah

about some of the quite disrespectful comments

she made about Dean.

She's made another one and she's hurt his feelings again.

If my missus said something like that,

I would probably take offence to it. Just say it in the moment.

Yeah, I would definitely pull her up for it.

Are you OK though as well?

Yeah, no. Cos obviously it sounds like it was quite a heated thing.

No, it was, yeah. It just kind of caught me. I forgot, I was like,

"I don't think you're ever going to say that to me." So then that triggered that. Yeah.

And then I went upstairs, I was like,

"Ah, I don't think I can stay

"cos I don't think you're ever going to...ever going to feel that way about me."

And she went, "I don't know if I will."

I was like, "Well, then what am I doing here? Yeah.

But I feel like sticking up for yourself is perfectly fine. Yeah.

I found it quite up and down and things.

I'm glad that Dean and I are getting on and we are getting better.

No, I mean, you're having arguments,

but as long as you're taking something positive out of them

and these are things that you've gone through

and you're not going to go through again, and then, yeah.

No, we did have, yeah.

So we're actually, like, probably in the best place we've been in.

Dean wants this relationship more than anything,

but hopefully he's able to identify what his self-worth is

before he places priority on the relationship. Yeah.

My real concern for Dean here

is that his expectations are so low

that almost anything Sarah offers him,

he's going to be prepared to accept. Yes.

You don't deserve this.

I don't deserve this, I deserve better.

Someone out there will give me better.

What he needs to do now is needs to figure out

how he's getting out of this. That's what he's doing. Mm.

It's going to be bloody tough, mate.

You need to ask him.

Nelly. I think it's time. Go.

Aw, this has been a fun start to the dinner party, hasn't it?

Mm. Extremely fun.

Apparently there's a lot of stuff going around. Mm.

I've been told, apparently, a few weeks before,

you'd hooked up with some Z-lister

and you were talking about the sexual stuff

that you'd done with her.

I wasn't.

So has that come out comple... Fuck me! Who the fuck has said that?

People have heard it.

Do you know how it feels to come in here

and everyone tell you, "This is how Steven's been acting,"

when I've already been upset with how you've been behaving anyway?

Two weeks before an experiment, Nelly, man.

Do you know how fucking silly that is?

Why is it coming into the experiment?

Don't get mad at me.

Fucking clownish, man.

So this is interesting looking at Steven's default reaction...

Yes. ..to being confronted with his behaviour

is to get defensive, angry and deflect.

You're speaking about ex-partners that you've been with

on the night when you should've been at home with me. Oh, wow.

Wow, wow, wow.

Are you going to listen to what I'm saying?

I'm listening, but I'm finding it fucking laughable really,

to be honest.

What, I'm laughable? What I'm...

No, I'm finding this situation laughable. OK.

I'm not finding it funny.

So if you are finding it funny, great.

These are my feelings and I'm not finding it very funny.

Mm. OK?

Right. Guys! Guys!

- Oi! - Oh, God.

Who has decided to say I was talking about my sexual activity

with this fucking Z-lister?

Did it happen at the bar? Was I talking about... I mean, you did talk about...

..how great the sex was? ..who you were having sex with on Raya, yes.

No, I was not.

At the bar, you did!

Divarni, Maeve, you were there. So what is it? Huh?

I've just said, I know.

Shh. Maeve, please. I don't want to get involved with this.

Divarni, don't leave me hanging. No, seriously.

- You did! - No, I, didn't darling.

Oh. Oh.

That's interesting though, is Divarni has not said a word. Mm.

We were all there! Dean, Sarah, Maeve.

Some people are really starting to fuck me off.

I wouldn't lie about that, seriously! Yeah, all right, all right.

Of course, of course. You said that in front of all of us,

and we went, "Oh, my God, what the fuck?" Yes. Yes, cos I've spoke so

openly about my sexual activity with people.

Two weeks before... You did! You said she gave sloppy head!

Whoa!

Oh, geez. She gives what? Sloppy head.

Sloppy head?

Let me ask...let...let me ask another question here.

Two weeks before I started the experiment,

why the fuck does it matter? OK.

It's fine to just... Honestly, why the fuck does it matter?

Steven... Who I date beforehand,

why the fuck does it matter what I do?! Maeve. What?

No, cos people are starting to fuck me off!

They're like that, that, that, that, that, that!

Need to fucking realise shit.

Fucking bollocks, man.

Abso-fucking-lutely, yeah. Ain't going over there.

Fuck them.

He fucking said it.

You all right? No, I'm not fucking all right. All fucking cunts.

People are starting to fuck me off!

They're like that, that, that, that, that, that!

Need to fucking realise shit.

Fucking bollocks, man.

Abso-fucking-lutely, yeah. Ain't going over there.

Fuck them.

He fucking said it.

You all right? No, I'm not fucking all right. All fucking cunts.

Wow! Did he just say that?

He did.

He's under pressure.

He's back against the wall.

He's being confronted with things that he's said.

He cannot cope,

and so he's attacking everyone else.

And this is ugly.

Currently, with Steven, I don't know where I'm at.

Obviously, I'm going to be thinking "What the hell is going on?"

And you were sat there getting annoyed at me

that I'm believing these people.

Why would Julia-Ruth and Maeve lie?

They're not going to.

You all right? We don't have to talk, don't have to say nothing.

Cool? Fucking idiots, man. I know, I know.

Just chill, innit? And have a breather for a second, geez.

You're saying that you've done this, you've done that,

but then you haven't even fucking seen your wife.

That's what everyone's... And then you don't take accountability for it,

and then you want to shout at everyone.

You said it. What do you mean, "Who said it?" YOU said it.

But then... YOU said it, it came out your mouth.

But then obviously if he's said it more than once...

You didn't pipe up? Hey? You left me.

I didn't leave you. You left me.

I didn't leave you. You did.

Just disappointed in Divarni.

He just could've said something.

I didn't like how that was handled.

And he needs to have my back next time.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Yay!

Yes! Whoo!

We needed them in the room one minute ago.

Yes. Yeah, we did. Yeah.

Well, the whole energy shifted as soon as they walked through. Yeah.

So what's happened? Steven and his wife.

What? Over there, one on one, quiet conversation.

Words were said. What words?

Something about Steven said he had slept with a Z-lister.

Oh.Oh. PAUL LAUGHS

I mean, we've all slept with a Z-lister, right? OK.

I mean, I thought it was normal.

All righty. Here we go again.

Oh, hello.

Oh, cutesy.

Where do you think we are?

Can we not just switch the names?

You OK? Yeah. Yeah? Good. Are you OK? Mm-hm.

You want some wine now? I am. Remember that? I am.

Do you want some wine?

No.

Ooh.

Julia-Ruth,

thank you for holding your own and being truthful and not...

Thank you. You're welcome, babe.

I told you I got you.

Cos it's not a nice position to be in... No.

..when someone's coming for you, but thank you.

If anyone should be scared, it's him.

Woman on a mission.

Where is Steven?

Probably crying somewhere about how he's messed up.

I don't know.

How do you feel about Joe?

I'm like obsessed with Joe. Ooh! Ooh!

In a healthy way. Oh! OK.

In a very healthy way.

I just think you're class, man.

Yeah. You're like everything that I've ever wanted.

Aw! Mm-hm.

Ah! They're so cute. But, yeah.

She knows how much love I have for her.

And I've said, I'm not going to, like, go all-in

with, "I'm falling in love with her,"

but I can see there's potential for love there

because there are genuine things that I do love about her.

What a sweetheart.

Right, enough of that. Yeah. Aw.

I love that.

Maeve is taking the advice

that we gave her on Experts Week,

and that is how to receive a compliment.

This is so good to see.

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

We're good. We're on the right track, I think.

Dean and I, we're learning so much about each other all the time.

I've just been so overwhelmed.

I...I really am giving it more this week.

I shouldn't have disrespected Dean.

I am worried about what to do next.

I don't know whether to just bite the bullet, give him a kiss,

but I also don't want to lead him on and hurt him.

He deserves better than that.

So I just want to not make any more mistakes.

What is happening with you two? How are you getting on? Is it improving?

Yeah, I don't think so for Anita, no. OK.

What about for you?

Is it moving quick enough for you?

Yeah, cos the more I get to know her,

the more I'll be attracted to her.

You've already said you're attracted to her.

You've said she's attractive. Yeah, she's a really attractive woman.

Yeah. Yeah, she looks great all the time. That's the first time I've heard him say that.

Well, I didn't know you need the affirmation, love.

Absolutely not tonight. I thought you were a confident, independent person. I will remember that.

That right there is a great example of their inability to communicate.

Mm. He believes she's attractive.

He's vocalised it.

And it's such a shame because they actually could work

if they could just fix the communication.

Oh, here comes Steven.

Hey! All right. All right, Steven. Welcome. All right, treacle.

Right, is everyone all right now, then?

Are we all all right? Yes, all good, son?

I'm absolutely fine.

Only thing that grinds my gears is,

like, the more ears that listen in, the more mouths that pipe up.

And it's just like, just back the fuck off.

Hang on a minute. Steven, Nell's had your back constantly.

Yeah, but... And I think the, hang on, the issue was,

is that when she needed you on that night,

she knew that you needed to blow off steam with the lads,

but she just didn't want you last home and not checking in on her.

She's not been my number-one priority this week,

which is shit,

because my stepdad and making sure he's OK

has been at the forefront.

So it's like, all these things are factored in into this week,

when I've already been open and emotional

on things I never wanted to talk about before,

cos I'm a closed-off person.

I think what's clear here is that,

yes, he's got a lot going on at home,

but what isn't great is how he's treating Nelly.

That's not on.

Steven, I think the point of this is,

you need to say in this moment is that, yeah, you did fuck up that day.

Which I've said. He knows.

That's what I mean, and I've said this to you.

But now it's like, it's being made to I've got to say sorry again

just to please every one of you. And that's exactly...

No, you haven't. No, but that's what it's being...

You haven't. ..made out to right now.

Do you feel like you've had an apology?

So you apologised obviously the moment you walked in.

But I think what stings a little bit for me is,

it's not that you're sat there talking about your family

for like till, you know, midnight.

You're talking about loads of other things

that I just don't think are appropriate.

And it's on the night where you should be at home with me.

Words are great, but I just need actions.

I can't do much in 24 hours to show that action.

It needs to be over time, so.

I've said sorry, and not even 24 hours has passed,

and then we've got another issue that we've got to then deal with.

I feel like I'm getting frustrated now

because it's at the point where I'm trying to look

at the good in everything,

and I just find that sometimes my feelings get dismissed.

Aw.

Don't roll your eyes at me.

Sorry, can I just say?

Cos it's uncomfortable at the moment.

The minute... Yeah, it is. No, no, no.

It's uncomfortable, Steven, your reaction

to when Nelly goes to talk about how she feels.

Well, good on Leigh for standing up for Nelly

and actually calling this out

because this is passive-aggressive behaviour

and it is dismissive.

You've got your head in your hands, you're rolling your eyes,

you're huffing yourself.

I'm extremely dismissed in what I'm saying.

I just, it's a little bit difficult to watch, won't lie.

Are you joking me?

Here's the honesty box,

where we get to ask difficult questions,

but always bring out the truth.

Right, are you ready?

"What are you finding the hardest about being in this experiment?"

I think, obviously, you know my past.

From a really young age,

I was addicted to the party lifestyle. Yeah.

And I think being around, like, the drinking environment

is what I'm really struggling with.

But that's where you've been so amazing.

And I think obviously you love getting pissed,

so, like...I do, yes. EVERYBODY LAUGHS

And that's very much part of your lifestyle,

but I think you've really adapted to me.

And sometimes I've said I feel like

I'm sucking the fun out of you sometimes,

but you're saying that's not the case.

Just like compromise with me really well,

and I just don't want to be in that environment all the time.

That's fair. Respect that.

OK. EVERYBODY CLAPS AND CHEERS

Why are you just the best human?

Aw. Aw.

I'm embarrassed now. No!

That was really brave of Joe, I think, to open up

and talk about the struggles he's had

in that social environment in the past,

and that this is quite tricky for him,

shows real vulnerability.

Whew. DIVARNI CLEARS THROAT

"Julia-Ruth, do you feel like we are on the same team?"

No, we're not always on the same team, no.

Last week was telling that we, like, maybe weren't.

Mm. And then I think, today,

I don't need anyone to, like, fight my battles, I can do that,

but I think if I'm calling your name,

I need you to step up and be there.

I don't care if you like conflict or not, or if that's your boy.

You could've done a bit better in that regard.

Yeah. It is what it is.

I really appreciate Julia-Ruth's honesty here

because, fair enough, Divarni could say,

"I didn't know you needed my support,"

but she actually called his name and he still didn't help her.

Right, Anita, young lady.

"Why didn't you want to come to the dinner party with me?"

Initially I did think,

"Yeah, we can go to the dinner party together. There's no harm in that."

But then I thought,

"I'm not sure where Paul has placed us.

"Is he thinking friendship or is he wanting more?"

OK, yeah. So that was me kind of taking a step back.

Mm-hm.

Judge me after six, eight, ten weeks.

Don't judge me after two weeks.

I'm getting more fond of her the more I spend time with her.

Yeah, and that's fair. Still early days.

And, Anita, is that friendship,

is that not a good base?

I'm at a point of my life now

where I need to know where I stand.

I need to know you want the same thing,

and I haven't got time to waste.

You've got ten weeks in you, you're not fucking dying.

Time's precious.

Seems like the issue is on both of their sides.

They're moving at totally different speeds.

Anita's said that she has no time to waste.

Paul, on the other hand,

is comfortable with a slow and steady approach.

It takes him time to form a bond.

Go on, Leah.

How have your feelings changed for me this week?

I feel like my feelings for you have changed this week

because, in the Rebecca situation...

..I realised that I obviously had feelings towards you...

..because I was bothered by it...

..and if I didn't have any feelings toward you at all,

it wouldn't have bothered me.

Oh! Oh! Nice.

What?

That was a cheek, wasn't it?

She swerved her.

It's not total rejection,

but it is stating a boundary when it comes to intimacy.

"Grace, what's the biggest challenge in our marriage for you?"

I think a challenge I'm having is that, in speaking with you,

I do sometimes feel it's like put back to me,

like, "Well, you're just," you know?

"I can't understand you. I don't," you know?

And I think, how do we get to a place where I feel comfortable,

but you don't feel nagged

and, like, you don't feel like I'm constantly

calling you out for things and?

But everything you've kind of called me out on,

I'm genuinely...I'm trying to be nice

and I'm trying to do these things,

and then they're backfiring on me. Yeah.

What sort of thing, like?

So little things. So, like, the nails incident.

In my head, I was thinking,

"Right, your nails are, like, overgrown.

"Let's take you out to get your nails done."

I meant it in, like, "Let me treat you, let me take you out."

To clarify, he didn't say like,

"Oh, can I treat you to get your nails done?"

He didn't say that, he was like...

The way you say it isn't the way I said it.

OK, well, we're... There's three sides to every story. How did you say it, then?

I got sisters and that. So there was a gap in the back.

And I was like, "Your nails are overgrown."

That's when you go to get your nails done.

I was like, "Sorry?" And he was like, "Yeah, I prefer French tips."

And that wasn't said all in one thing neither.

I made a joke... And I said, "Here's a French tip. Fuck off!" No, no, no.

I wouldn't have said it like that. What he meant to say...

I'm not going to be a person that tells you,

"Right, you need to get your nails done,"

or, "You need to wear this," or, "You need to do that."

I'm not that person.

I've never been that person.

Forget the terminology,

do you think it came from a genuinely nice place

or do you think he was actually saying, like?

In the moment, I was like, "Yeah, easy, tiger.

"Like, I'll manage my own alleycat nails.

"Like, you're all good."

And I was like, "Aw, that is really bothering me."

And it was just a few things,

like, I'd put an outfit on, and Ash would be like,

"Haven't you got a dress you can wear?" No, no, no.

No, no. Again...

But, OK. ..so I'd booked a fancy meal and a show.

And you said, "Do I look good?" I said, "You look amazing,

"but have you got like a dress?"

Because I knew where we were going and you didn't.

The real test of a mature relationship

is your willingness to compromise,

and also to listen to what your partner's saying.

They both have two very different versions

of the same event,

so it's really difficult to know what the intention is.

I'm with you. I'm confused.

I feel like there's a reluctance on both of their parts

to seek deeper.

In this scenario,

it's become quite apparent to everybody,

Grace is very independent,

doesn't need anybody else's opinion.

And so I think given that you're her husband

and that you've probably taken that on board...

But I am trying my best... I know you are. ..but it's frustrating.

I know you are in so many ways. But I'm also,

like, I think Grace thinks that she's the bad person. She's not.

No, she's not. Of course. Like, I completely understand

and I take full responsibility

that it is the way I say it and the way it's presented.

Yeah. I get that. But I'm not blaming Grace.

I'm taking responsibility. Yeah. Well, OK. Yeah.

We have this issue of, like, struggling to understand each other.

But for us to progress,

we need to get on the same page.

That's the challenge we face.

"On a scale of 1 to 10,

"10 being love,

"how strong are your feelings for me?" Ooh!

EVERYBODY CHEERS AND LAUGHS

12 wasn't on it. One! Be honest, Bailey.

I am a firm 9.5. Whoo!

EVERYBODY CHEERS AND CLAPS

Wow!

Ooh. Wow.

That's strong. That's a strong...

Oh, my gosh. You round up, he's a ten.

My heart is literally like. SHE IMITATES HEARTBEATS

I don't know how much more I can say.

I'm falling,

and I like the way it's going.

Yeah. Can't imagine you not in my life.

Why couldn't you just give me a ten? Listen,

maybe the ten will come, all right?

Give me a moment.

Listen, 9.5,

maybe I'm holding a little something back.

But honestly, yeah, it's nearly there.

It's nearly, nearly there.

But I'm sure it's not going to take too long.

OK, "Sarah, do you have any regrets so far?"

Yes, I do.

I regret the last dinner party

and the comments that I obviously made to the girls

that were brought up to the commitment ceremony.

And I apologise again to you. It's OK. I know I've apologised

quite a bit now for it,

but I do regret that and I'm really sorry.

And our argument as well.

I wish that hadn't happened,

but it has, and we've dealt with it.

We all have blips... Yeah. ..but if we communicate, as we did,

and get over it, like, we're going to come out stronger,

and I think we'll be fine, you know?

We'll be good. Thank you.

It's great that Sarah took responsibility,

but Dean so quickly dismissed his own feelings in that.

And there was no mention of how she made him feel,

and he made no mention of how he felt.

Yeah. Thank you.

It is lovely that Dean has, you know,

he speaks so highly of me.

And that's what I mean, he's just so lovely.

So...

..yeah, I don't really know how to, like, deal with it,

so I just, I don't want to cause any problem.

We are in a better place than we were last week, I hope.

I really am trying, and I'm trying to, like, hold his hand

and hug him and stuff.

But I don't know if it ever will come.

Fucking hell. Oh, no.

All right.

"Do you trust me?"

I don't know.

The only thing I struggle with is...

..can I trust you with my heart?

I like to think we can get there.

Words are great, but I just need action to back it. That's all.

I just don't want to be broken at the end.

I don't feel I've got that much making up to do.

It can't just be what I've got to compromise on.

It needs to be a happy balance.

Otherwise it's purely I'm give, give, give,

and she's just receive, receive.

What a fucking day.

The way I'm feeling right now and after today,

I genuinely don't know if I'm going to be staying or leaving.

So a lot of thinking to do overnight.

Next time...

I get bored saying the same thing over and over again.

You keep saying that. Well, don't antagonise me, then!

Don't raise your voice at me.

..Nelly and Steven continue to clash...

Fucking idiot.

Why am I liking someone who's treating me like this?

..ahead of the tense...

We have hit an issue this week.

If this is the way it is,

I can't do this forever.

..and emotional commitment ceremony.

My mindset really hasn't shifted that much.

Sorry, I've just got to jump in.

It's time to actually take responsibility.

This week has been awful. It's been hell.

I don't know who you are.
