All language subtitles for Married At First Sight UK S10E10.en

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.
