Hi! Oh, hello. Previously...

Oh!

..as three new couples made their dinner party debut...

I like to meet somebody, and there's, like, that flirty vibe.

I'm pissed off.

..new bride Leisha caught Leah's eye...

They're hot. Blue eyes. Oh, of course you BLEEP noticed.

Ooh! But husband Reiss...

On the plane on the way home, she was banging back wines,

sick all down her, chatting to some geezer. What?!

..was less impressed with his new wife...

Everybody else is holding hands. Stopped holding hands

because you said, "Don't hold my BLEEP hand" and stormed off.

To me that is immature.

..and she soon came under fire from the group.

Do you think you should be sat on a plane talking to a boy?

Probably not. I've had past relationships.

That has never been a problem.

Um, no. Babe, you've just had a honeymoon with this man.

I felt disrespected.

Meanwhile, a candid question... Do you feel like there's a spark?

No.

What am I supposed to say?

..renewed long-held fears for Sarah.

I just can't keep doing it.

I can't change my feelings.

Tonight...

For me, I checked out of my head.

..hard-hitting honesty from the couples...

What more can I actually do?

You've done something to piss me off.

..and the experts...

Why weren't my feelings considered in this?

That is a masterful deflection.

We are talking about your wife right now.

..makes for an emotional make-or-break commitment ceremony.

I'm worried that if I give up, that I'm going to be, like,

"Oh, I wish I'd tried."

Sarah...

..I think you're clutching at straws here.

You know how you feel.

CHUCKLING

Don't headbutt Benji! He's got a sensitive skull.

Babe, do you want a brew? Yes, please. Tea, please.

Milk and sugar? Yes, please.

It's the morning of the third commitment ceremony.

What's this? Bronzer. Yeah. Use it sparingly.

Oh, no, no, no. What do you mean, no?!

My Lord. Thank you. Your sandwich. Are you having one?

Yeah, I'm having one. Oh!

Grace and I are in the best place we've been.

We had a great dinner party last night.

Like, even got a kiss at the table.

And I had breakfast made this morning.

Did you see that? I'm well happy. Thank you very much.

Come on. Come on, bacon breath.

The dinner party last night, that was a lot.

Mm. We're having a laugh,

apart from when you're being a knob.

Really? Let's be honest, right? Going into the dinner party,

when we was telling the people that were there about the new couple

Reiss and Leisha.

Mm. Obviously, you've started with, you know, like, how she looks.

In the north, words are different.

Down here, maybe "fit" means I fancy them,

Fit, to me, means like they're a really good-looking couple together.

Acting that way towards other women, it's disrespectful

and it makes me uncomfortable.

Especially if the girl's her type.

I've been humiliated in my past in these sorts of scenarios,

so I really need to think about what I'm going to do

at the commitment ceremony today.

We've just got over one situation where I felt

a little bit uncomfortable about, like, certain behaviours

and certain comments, and then we've gone in and there's another

person that's come in that's - bang, that exact same type.

Just a little bit too far.

Does she actually believe I fancy Leisha?

Because that's just ridiculous. This just feels like the Rebecca

situation all over again.

It's confusing for me, because on one hand

she's saying she doesn't like me in that way,

it's not there for her yet. But then,

you know, this is the second person she's got jealous about.

It doesn't add up,

and it's definitely gave me a lot of things to think about.

And this is just a huge, huge decision I've got to make today.

Me and Leisha, unfortunately,

we're not in a good place. There has been, like, a lot of drama.

I'm seeing, like, other little sides of her that I'm not a fan of,

like last night's dinner party.

She is fiery and I can't be with no-one

that gives me drama, especially unnecessary drama.

It gets boring and also it's draining.

Last night, looking around, it's our first dinner party.

Everybody else was holding hands. Everybody else is lovey-dovey,

and I just needed that little bit of reassurance.

I'm honestly quite nervous.

We did have our ups and downs, and I just want to try and fix it.

The ups have to outweigh the downs.

Coming into our first commitment ceremony,

it's going to be an important day.

It's going to be a test for us, because I've got

a big decision to make. And right now I don't

really know which way it's going to go.

I'm nervous about today.

I am definitely getting really

strong feelings for Reiss. So I don't want to hear

that he doesn't like me the same way.

Tonight's commitment ceremony will be better than last week,

that's for sure. Last week was an absolutely grilling,

so... Mm. I'm looking forward to asking

the experts and saying, "We've made baby steps,

"but what can we do to progress it again?

"Just to get closer to each other

"and try and get those feelings going again?"

Because I feel like we're friends at the moment.

We can't really stay like this.

Friends don't give each other smooches.

Friends don't give each other hugs.

So obviously there's more than a friendship basis there.

Yeah.

We have been a little bit affectionate with each other,

but I would love Steven to give me a bit more reassurance.

Like hearing, "Babe, you look nice today."

Or, "Come here, I'll hold your hand."

It's not that there's no romance there at all,

but the way I am, I'd just like a little bit more. Mm.

I was confident going into today's commitment ceremony.

We have made progress in this past week,

but the conversation Nelly and I had this morning

has definitely thrown me off.

For me, if the romance wasn't there,

I wouldn't be here and I'm sure she wouldn't be either,

so I have no idea what to expect now.

Here we are. Amazing.

Thank you. Thanks for breakfast. You're welcome.

I'm looking forward to the commitment ceremony.

Yeah, definitely. I just feel really,

really privileged that we haven't had a hiccup. Mm.

It feels like a breeze still.

It'd be nice to kind of speak to the experts about our connection,

our relationship and see, like, how far we can progress.

The first thing I want to do is thank the experts.

Here you go. Half a croissant for you.

That'll do, darling. We've got a busy day ahead,

like, haven't we? Yeah.

So how do you think the commitment ceremony is going to go for us?

Um, obviously you've not had a good week. No.

So this week's been a tough week.

My grandad has passed away.

I've not shared this news with the other couples.

I've kind of just been keeping everything bottled up.

But I think by doing that,

it is having a negative effect on our marriage.

We just brush things under the carpet and we just carry on.

And the reason that I don't, like, open up about stuff

is because I don't want to, like, dampen the mood in the house.

Do you know what I mean? I know, but I don't want to feel like

you can't talk with us, because you're going to dampen the mood.

Like, arguments we've had as well,

we kind of just be like, "Oh, it don't matter",

and we just kind of get on with it.

Me and Joe have just been, like, plain sailing,

nothing bad has happened. The relationship's fine,

but whenever it feels like things are getting tense,

we just change the subject.

But there's a couple of things that I do think we need to address.

The commitment ceremony is, like, the best time,

just to be honest, innit. So I just think it'll be good for us

if we open up and actually just talk about stuff.

Yeah. What's been going on. Just in my opinion,

I don't think everything's as, like, rosy as it seems.

Hello. Hey.

This morning, waking up, I'm feeling a bit deflated.

Hearing Sarah say that she doesn't have the spark did throw me,

because I thought we were progressing

and it was growing into something.

So I keep pushing and I'm pushing it forwards,

but if she's checked out, then I can't push it on my own.

So it's, um... Yeah, it's a big one today.

How are you feeling after last night?

A bit confused now.

To be honest, last night has completely thrown me,

I'm not going to lie. I was obviously, you know,

thinking, yeah, this is positive, we're going in the right direction,

but I just feel like I'm now in my head

about this constant spark and the romantic,

and do you think it's...? I'm like, "I don't know."

No, I don't fancy Dean.

Since their wedding,

Sarah has struggled to feel a physical attraction to Dean.

Have you ever been with anyone big? No, I have to admit. No. Mm-mm.

Is there anything Dean could do?

Get some tattoos and lose some weight.

Both have tried hard to ignite intimacy...

How's that? Yeah, that's nice. Good.

This is a step in the right direction.

We're giving it a go. We're giving it a go.

..encouraged by advice from loved ones...

Do I just kiss him and see what happens?

I do think sometimes you can, like,

fall in love with someone's personality.

..but doubts persist for Sarah.

I want it to be there. Well, don't rush it. If it comes, it comes.

If it doesn't, it doesn't. Do you know what I mean? I know, I know.

We are getting more like touchy and things like that as well.

You know what I mean? We are progressing in the right way.

Absolutely.

It's just this fucking spark thing.

Like, do you feel that?

What? A spark? Yeah. Put a word on a spark. You know, just that feeling

that you get in your stomach, that sort of, like, buzzy feeling.

To me, it just meant like there's something that could grow

from there. That's not a spark, though, Dean. That is a spark.

That's the start of something, right? Oh.

Fucking hell.

Everybody knows what a spark is.

It is progressing. It is getting better.

So that's a win to me.

Is that going to be something that can grow or become a thing?

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

I think there's something worth fighting for.

But I don't know what Sarah's thinking.

So it's a big thing for me today. It's make or break.

I am torn about what I'm going to do at today's commitment ceremony.

I do think Dean's an incredible person.

And I do care about Dean a lot. However...

..I am now getting more into my head again

with sparks and feelings and attraction.

I have to think about what I want.

I have to think about what I came here for.

I don't want to hurt him.

I genuinely don't know what I'm going to do.

My head is fucking scrambled.

Welcome, everyone, to today's commitment ceremony,

especially to the three new couples

that are joining us for the first time.

You have just three

more commitment ceremonies left after this one.

So, today we're going to demand

that you be your authentic self

and tell us your true feelings.

Stop holding back.

We cannot help you if you aren't honest with us.

First on the couch this evening...

..Abigail and John.

Hi. Hi. Welcome, guys. Take a seat. Good to see you.

Well, lovely to see the two of you.

Welcome to your first commitment ceremony.

Thank you. Thank you. OK, so take me back to the wedding.

What were your first impressions of each other?

I think it was probably the best day

of my life, honestly. Aw. No, genuinely,

like, I just saw kind of John turn round,

and the first thing I noticed was his, like, bright blue eyes.

And I think that just, like, melted my heart a little bit.

It sounds like there was an attraction from the onset, really?

100%. Yeah, definitely. It was just amazing.

I said I wanted somebody whose smile lit up a room, and yours did.

I said I wanted somebody who I could stare in their eyes,

and I haven't stopped staring at your eyes. Like, it was just...

Honestly, it was just insane. So tick, tick, tick.

And then you go on your honeymoon.

What was that experience like? The honeymoon was class.

We were in the Seychelles, like dream location.

And each day we grew and we grew closer and closer.

We have really good communication,

so I think the whole time we were just explaining how

we felt, being really open and vulnerable with each other,

and I think we both then were, like, able

to let our guard down and just, like, relax

and show our true selves.

And what I love about, like, John so much is like he lets me be me.

And I've never had that in a relationship before,

like, I've always been put down in the past,

and I've always felt like I'm not good enough.

But, like, John makes me feel like I am good enough

and it's OK to be me.

Yeah, it really is. And it's the same for me.

I'm becoming a better person every day because of you as well.

So there's a really strong connection here, which is fabulous.

I'm very excited to see where this goes.

Shall we go to a decision? John, if we start with you.

Yeah. I'm having the absolute

time of my life with you. Every day is amazing.

And I can't wait for what we've got to come.

So my decision is to stay.

And, Abigail, what's your decision?

So, honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better husband.

Like, he gives me everything that I need.

And also what I want, like you do make me, like, a better person.

I'm just really excited to see how far we can go.

So that's why I wrote stay.

And a little heart.

Aw. Well, Abigail and John, we wish you a phenomenal week.

Good luck. Thanks. Thanks.

Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. thanks. Yeah!

Next up to the couch, if we could have...

..Leigh and Leah.

Hello. Hello.

Ladies, so last week,

when you were both here, you said you had a wonky week.

LEIGH LAUGHS

How would you describe this week?

I think for me, I wasn't as driven in this relationship.

I kind of checked out in my head. OK. What happened?

I felt like what it was, like for the last three weeks

I was, like, trying so hard and I didn't

feel I was getting anything back.

And there was the confusion of seeing her kind of get

her back up or get a bit jealous here and there.

Obviously, there was Bec Gate and then I mentioned Leish,

she was good-looking last night, she was getting upset.

I was like, "Yeah, they're fit."

That, to me, is like a normal thing to say.

OK. Leah, can we talk about this behaviour for a moment?

Like, I'm a very complimentary person.

I think some people do take that as I'm flirting.

But I do feel like people in the North

are more complimentary than people in the South.

Yeah, I hear what you're saying.

However, ultimately, we want you to feel safe with each other.

And if you correct that, it's going to create safety.

Fair? Fair. Fair? OK. All right.

Leigh, you've had this feeling of jealousy. What is that feeling?

I wasn't sure where that was coming from.

I didn't know what that meant.

I didn't know if it was coming from a place of being,

you know, we're still in this together,

and we've still got a loyalty and a respect for each other,

and I felt disrespected.

Or if it was because, you know,

there were feelings there and I was like,

"Oh, actually, I don't really like the thought of that."

I've got in my head and I've been out of my head

and I feel like - I don't know,

I mean, like my logical analytic brain,

24/7... Leigh, when you feel an emotion

and you have a feeling around it,

catch yourself doing that analysis

and just move off of feeling.

Do as you feel, opposed to as you think.

OK? I don't know why I find it so hard to do that.

But sometimes it can be a bit of a defence mechanism.

Maybe it's about just trusting your feelings more,

Leigh, and not just staying

in that space of intellectualising everything. Mm.

I just got a little bit emotional there for some reason. Why?

I don't know. I think it's... Oh.

Allow yourself to feel.

Sorry.

I think, um...

I've been through, um...

..a lot of situations where...

..me acting off of how I feel...

..has just ended really badly for me...

..um, has just led to me getting really hurt.

And so... You're protecting yourself. Yeah.

But I don't even realise I'm doing it, until you've just said it.

Yeah. Yeah. And it's like I've turned something off

in me from, like, my previous relationship

and I, like, can't get it back on.

So this is a great insight for you to be aware of.

Yeah. And I guess the next

step is recognising that, OK,

being fully present emotionally

has not worked for you in previous situations. Mm. Got it.

You need to protect yourself from that.

And that's smart. But if you were to start taking some

baby steps toward a more emotional style,

I think it would be received pretty well. Yeah.

Um, there is something there and something to build on.

So I want you to know that I care about you

and that's why I am trying to make the effort to get out of my head.

All right. This is a positive step forward.

OK.

Are we ready to go to a decision? Yes.

Leah, can we start with you?

So it was a hard week for me.

Like, I was umming and ahhing about it. I was thinking...

.."Do I just need to kind of bolt at this point?"

Because, yeah, it felt like it wasn't

really going anywhere romantically and emotionally.

But in turn, like, now I know this,

I want you to know that A, you can trust me.

B, that obviously I care about you.

And I am glad I have chose to stay.

APPLAUSE

Obviously, I've got a lot

going away from right now to think about.

I think there's a lot more going in my head.

Sorry. Fucking hell.

There's a lot more going on in my head than I realised.

But...

..I was firm on my decision

because I knew that I wanted to make the effort

and I have been hoping that everything

that we've spoken about wanting to come would come.

So I've decided to...

..stay.

APPLAUSE

All right. That was incredibly powerful.

We thank you both. Thank you.

I think you know exactly what you need to work on this week.

Yes. OK. Thank you. Well done, both of you.

Next up to the couch...

..Nelly and Steven.

Hello. Hi. Hi, guys. Hello.

Welcome to you both.

All right. How are you both feeling?

Better than last week. Yeah. OK.

So you had in-laws week.

Nelly, who came for you this week? My sister and my brother.

Your sister AND your brother?

Yes. All right. How was that experience?

Yeah, it was amazing. I mean, because I'd had such a bad week,

I think I was like, "Oh, my God, this is exactly what I needed."

And I wanted you to obviously see them and spend time with them.

Yeah. But...

..I had to tell them about,

you know, the injury and the idiot comment.

I'm not going to lie, they've got their back up a little bit

because they've seen me be hurt by

the other men that have been in my life.

Their advice was, "Just be a little bit more guarded", I think.

OK. But now, do you feel as if the challenges

that you had previously have been addressed and resolved?

I mean, I don't think they've been fully resolved... Yeah, we've

addressed them. I think, for me, I'm still in the back of my head

a bit, like I know you say you care, but I need you to show me.

And I kind of... I feel like I've mentioned it,

but there's only so many times I can say it.

If you want a kiss, just come up and kiss me.

Like, if you want to, like, I don't know, like grab me up,

then go grab me up. I'm doing what you want me to do. I'm asking for it

because I'm not getting that... I'm not feeling affirmed in that.

I'm just telling you - like telling you what I'm feeling here.

Yeah. Can we can we explore that just a little bit? Yeah, yeah.

So, Nelly, it sounds

like you're not feeling secure in your relationship,

and I want to address that.

I want you to give me your honest truth.

Yes or no. OK. OK.

Do you feel like in your relationship

with your partner that there have been times

of conflict where your feelings

or your experience has been minimised?

Yes.

Question number two. Do you feel like that

sometimes there's an issue that you bring to him,

and when you get into the discussion, the issue is deflected?

Yes, I'm sorry.

OK. But then, like, say that I'll deflect because

that's what I'm good at, right?

When I opened up last week, my feelings were shut down like that

and I had to go straight back to this.

And why weren't my feelings considered in this?

So that is a masterful deflection,

because we are talking about your wife right now.

And I'm not just talking about that week.

I'm talking about how your partner feels

when she reflects back upon your entire relationship.

You see that shake? You see that shake?

You're minimising her feelings.

You see that shake?

You're minimising her feelings.

Oh, wow.

Like, it's literally like... I'm sorry, but it feels like

it's always me, me, me. It makes it seems like

I'm the bad person, when I know I'm trying to do good

and try and please people and try and listen to people.

It's then, "Oh, I'm doing this and I'm a bad person."

You know, Steven, just because the intent isn't bad

doesn't mean that it doesn't need to be addressed.

Now, Steven, here's the thing.

I'm not coming down on you

because I think that you are a bad guy.

But I do believe you deflect.

I do believe you minimise your partner's feelings.

And if you can accept this,

you can catch yourself in the future with the behaviour,

you could change your behaviour

and you could have a stronger relationship.

That's all I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, I agree with it.

It's just obviously shit to hear.

The bad behaviour for me last week was based on

a situation which was out of my control

because of the news of my stepdad being in hospital,

which I communicated.

You know what, Steven? Here's the thing,

my heart goes out to you about that situation.

You have gone through traumatic events in this experiment,

and that shapes how we see the world and our behaviour. Yeah.

But that's behaviour

that I guarantee you you can correct.

And I think it's very important for you, Nelly, to give him space.

Yeah. But you also have to ensure

that you're getting what you need. Take her feelings into account.

When there's an issue brought up, you handle the issue

and then your partner is going to feel affirmed.

Then you win.

Is that fair? That's absolutely fair.

Yeah. All right. And apologies

for having my back up as well, but that's... Yeah.

No, no, I get it.

The reason why I'm pushing is because I want you to become better.

OK? Yeah.

OK. Can I ask a really quick question?

Yes. Um, on that bad week that we had,

we opened up emotionally because we had the Ask Me Anything.

And obviously this week has been baby steps just

trying to get back to it as a restart.

Yeah. How do we start trying to get that emotional intimacy back?

It's everything that we're saying. OK. Because safety is the key.

And what we're talking about here is going to create safety.

OK. All right. If you could do that, the emotional connection

will be there.

Thank you. OK.

let's go to a decision. Nelly?

Um, so obviously this week has been baby steps...

..but I really want to work on being in a safer space with you

and just feeling like we can open up more.

And obviously, I fancy you, so I would like to stay.

Steven.

So it's been a tough couple of weeks.

But I know what I need to work on, and I'm very much in this.

Mm. I want an emotional connection and, yes, I fancy you,

so, yeah, my decision is stay.

Thank you both for your willingness to listen.

Your focus this week is continuing

to create a safe space for each other.

OK. All right? Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Come on, you. Thank you.

OK. Next up to the couch, Rebecca and Bailey.

Hello. Hello. Hello. All right? Hello.

How have the two of you been good? Good. Really good. Really good.

Yep. Yeah? Good week? Really good week. Really good week, yeah.

Good stuff. So let's look at the dinner party.

We noticed that there was lots of physical affection,

you guys were in a really great place.

Yeah. And there were lots of moments where I was like, "Aw!"

That's nice. How are things with the two of you,

with regards to intimacy? Um...

Spot-on. I'll just say I can't keep my hands off her, so...

Um, I think you described it

in the beginning as, like, well-matched. Yeah.

Yeah, we're very well-matched, if that makes sense. You're welcome.

Yeah. Well done on that one. So, yeah, thank you.

Good stuff. So I am conscious about the fact

there hasn't really been any conflict.

No. Yeah. We've not had anything big.

We've had like a few tiny, small things,

but like really small. Like...

We've had no issues, like... Yeah. Like, the conflict

Bailey's talking about, like... Can I say this about what you do?

Yeah, of course you can. I was sewing at the time.

Tell them why you sewed! No, no!

He's brought a little hand-held sewing machine

with him to sew the arms of his t shirts tighter,

so he looks buff.

LAUGHTER

Yeah, I like to tailor my shirts, so...

But we were bickering about it

because it was stressful. We were arguing about that.

And it kept breaking, and I was like, "Oh..." I couldn't do it.

And I swore at him and he swore back. And then

we just laughed. We just laughed. And that's, like,

literally, all we've had. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, we've actually had no issues.

So your relationship is going from strength to strength. Mm-mm.

What do you think would be useful

in terms of what we could do to help you moving forward?

I'm apprehensive about what's going to happen when we leave.

I think the distance will be our biggest issue

because we're, like, five hours away from each other.

So I do have concerns around if we were to make it work

and we really wanted to give it a go when we got home,

how would we cope with that?

I suppose it's about taking it step by step, isn't it?

Yeah. And I think that maybe I'm a firm believer in love,

but I think that Bailey has said that he loves you.

And, you know, I'm sure, Rebecca, that, you know,

when you're ready, you'll say the same. Mm-mm.

And with love, you'll be able to work it out.

That's nice. Yeah. Yeah. A nice way to put it. A nice way to put it.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah? Yeah.

OK, let's go to a decision.

If we can start with Bailey. Yeah.

Let's just talk about now, I love just the laughing,

joking at home, dancing around

in her underwear, like it's just the normal stuff I'm loving doing.

And I feel like I get a bit closer to you every day

and I can see your feelings grow as well.

So a really easy decision for me. And it's stay.

Oh! R&B. R&B.

Yeah. Very cute.

That's lovely. Thank you, Bailey. And Rebecca, what's your decision?

Um...

Bailey's really, really important to me.

And I think everybody here knows that

I absolutely adore him.

Um, so my decision is to obviously stay.

APPLAUSE

Excellent. So continue to enjoy these moments,

but also maybe introduce the conversation around

what the next stage looks like for the two of you

and continue to dance around your living room in underwear.

Uh, have fun. Thank you, guys. Thank you very much. Have a good week.

Thank you.

Next on the couch is April and Leo.

Oh, shit. It's going to be us.

Oh, shit.

Hello, you two. Hi. Hello. Welcome aboard.

Thank you. Bit of a shock to the system,

I imagine. Yeah. Right.

Well, why don't you take us back to the wedding day

and the moment

you first clasped eyes on each other.

The wedding day was so good.

I think as soon as I saw your mullet, I was like, "Fuck, yeah!"

I don't know why. That's a great response to a mullet.

I love it. I don't know why. It put my mind at ease.

Yeah, definitely. It was 50-50 on the mullet.

But, yeah, it was a really good day.

You could see instantly why we'd be matched,

I think, because we have so much in common and...

Lots of green flags. Yeah, there was a lot.

It sounds like a really positive start to your marriage.

Definitely.

So how are things going from an intimacy perspective?

I'll let you lead on this. Uh, we did the deed.

Um, but... Um, and continued to do the deed.

Um, but, like, I think...

..as time's gone on for me, like, almost...

I haven't expressed this to you and I'm really sorry

I'm doing this right now, but, um...

Like, as much as I do find you attractive,

um, for me,

I almost feel myself retracting a little bit

because there isn't the deeper connection yet.

OK.

For me, I have... I have concerns.

So what kind of concerns came up?

We weren't having easy flowing conversations,

when I think that should be very easy at the beginning

of a new relationship.

I was, like, give it time or sit on it and, you know,

hope and wait to see if it gets better.

I think, from being single for so long myself,

it's just an adjustment. Yeah. If it's because he's not been in

a relationship for so long, and you're just getting used to it,

then that's just a hurdle. Do you know what I mean?

We'll get over that. But if that is just his personality,

then that is a problem.

And then I think... So what does your gut tell you?

Is this the way he's adjusting, or is it his personality?

Um...

I feel like it might be your personality.

OK.

Yeah, that is... It is just a worry for me. Do you know what I mean?

I think it's just me

becoming more comfortable being in a relationship situation.

I'm worried that I'm not asking the right questions sometimes.

Yeah. What if I said to you there's no wrong questions?

What if I encouraged you to just jump

in to these conversations with April?

Be curious. Ask her questions.

Show her that you want to know what's beneath the surface,

because you can't really get it wrong.

No. Straight up. Honestly, anything.

Just talk shit to me and I'll be happy.

Yeah, I definitely think moving forward,

the more time we spend together, the more I am able to open up.

But it hasn't come naturally to me.

But it's definitely something that I'm willing to work on.

Yeah, no, for sure. And it's just me expressing any concerns,

and hopefully they are just hurdles and we can get over them,

do you know what I mean? Yeah. So...

Well, I'll actually say it's quite positive

because you're saying you want

to get to know him at a deeper level.

Yeah. Isn't she, Leo?

She is, yeah. She's actually saying she wants more.

She wants more of the mullet. Yeah. She wants to see more of me.

You've shared with us some little wobbles

that you're having, and this is very real stuff. OK.

We're going to go to a decision.

Let's start with you, Leo.

So, April, I love all the stuff that we have in common.

I'm just looking forward to get to know you

a lot better on a deeper level.

I have chosen to stay. Fantastic.

Beautiful.

Thanks, Leo. And to you, April.

Yeah. I mean, at the end of the day, there is honestly

so many positives to you and us,

and I can definitely see why we've been matched.

And you really do take everything on the chin.

So, yeah, I have decided to stay.

Fantastic.

Well, well done, you two. I think the next week is all about

now taking it to the next level. Ask those questions,

show that you're interested in each other beneath the surface.

Stay honest. Stay real.

Thank you. Thanks, guys.

Next up to the couch, if we can have...

..Reiss and Leisha. Come on up.

Hello. Welcome, first time. Yeah.

How do you truly feel in this moment?

Um, there's definitely been some ups and downs.

Um, first see Leisha on the wedding day,

I was over the moon. Like, the attraction was there.

All right, so there was the connection there.

Oh, yeah, 100%. He's gorgeous.

And everything he said in the vows is exactly what I wanted.

But when we got to the honeymoon,

we had, like, a couple of rows.

Um, Leisha was getting quite stressed

with me because I weren't going at the pace that she was happy with.

But to me, I'm not doing nothing wrong.

I'm just going at my pace. So, Reiss,

what is your pace? So, you know,

when you get to the stage where you say, "I love you",

that kind of stuff, that normally takes me at least

like six months. Whereas Leisha said to me like quite early on,

like, "Are you falling for me yet?"

And that made me a bit scared, I'll be honest.

How long into the marriage did she ask you that?

Um, second day.

Wow. That's quick.

It wasn't like falling in love. I think it was just like,

"Do you see potential?" Because I am somebody that does need

that little bit of reassurance,

and Reiss can be slightly cold at times.

It does give you that anxiousness. The only reason...

The only reason you get a cold frostiness from me is

when you've done something to piss me off,

which was the cold frostiness come

after the flight back from the honeymoon.

So we definitely need to talk about this,

because here you have a moment where your brand-new wife

is talking to someone for an hour.

Reiss, how do you feel about that incident?

I felt like that's really taking the piss.

Leisha talking to the fella for, like, an hour,

that one, for me, showed a bit of disrespect.

Straight away, I wasn't interested.

I was just like, "You've pissed me off now,

"I need like ten minutes to cool down."

You felt disrespected. Yeah. OK.

This is a great moment right now just to stop and say,

"This is how boundaries are set in relationships."

In my perspective, it was totally platonic, and it was friendly.

But I definitely seen where Reiss was coming from.

And, like, I totally apologised and put my hands up and was like,

"Yeah, I wouldn't do that again." OK. Yeah.

There was also something else that happened just

before we was walking into the dinner party.

Like, we was both standing outside, I understand Leisha wanted me

to hold her hand as we was walking in,

but, like, I didn't hold her hand for, like, two seconds.

And I went to grab it and she was like,

"No, don't fucking hold my hand now."

And, like, stormed off.

I did snap in that moment

because Reiss doesn't give me any reassurance.

And that's what I really needed

in that moment because I felt, you know,

quite vulnerable, like I need somebody

that takes consideration of my feelings

and, you know, wants to hold my hand as we walk into a dinner party.

I shouldn't have to tell my partner, "Hold my hand."

She didn't need to, like, start effing and blinding

and storm off.

Already, like, too much drama. To me, it was unnecessary.

I just feel like we did take a step back.

So that being said, where you sit right now,

how do you feel about your partner and your marriage?

We're not as strong as what we have been.

OK.

Leisha, how do you feel?

Yeah. It's not nice to hear, is it?

But I'm...

Aw!

Sorry!

Leisha, how do you feel?

Yeah. It's not nice to hear, is it?

But I'm...

Aw! Aw!

Sorry!

I just feel like it's just... It's just been a lot.

Obviously, like...

..that's just my personality, and I can't...

Like, I can't change my personality and...

Oh, I don't know.

Obviously, I like him.

A lot.

I'm giving everything

and I don't feel like I'm getting the same back.

I want to know his intentions.

Like, when I'm asking these questions as well,

he thinks I'm having a go. I'm not having a go.

I'm just trying to figure out what he wants out of life.

Like, am I something that he sees

in the future? Because I know exactly what I want.

I really want a family.

And, you know, it's...

Yeah, I feel like we're just on different pages,

maybe at the moment. And... Yeah, this is

about simply how you miscommunicate with each other.

Leisha, you're asking to be affirmed.

Yeah. You're asking your partner

to show you that he's in it. Yeah, that's all I want.

This is baby steps. Yeah. So it could be something as simple

as in moments where there is tension,

let's give each other a cool off period,

let's come back.

We're going to give each other a hug and a kiss,

so that you know I have a problem with the issue, but not with you.

Yeah. OK? And for Reiss,

I believe you need to assert boundaries.

Yeah. So in these moments where you felt disrespected,

I would challenge you to think about, "OK, what would have

"made me feel respected in that moment?"

And articulate that and the reason why.

Right? And then ask your partner, "Is this a boundary we can place?"

OK.

All right. Let's go to a decision. OK.

Leisha.

Yeah. I feel like, obviously,

I've been a bit of a nightmare the last couple of days.

But, yeah, I've took accountability of, like,

things that I really need to work on, and I want to get to know

Reiss, like I really want to get to know Reiss.

And I feel like there's so many layers I want to discover.

So I put stay.

All right. Reiss? OK.

Um, I've made this decision...

..because I feel like we have been in a better place

than what we are now.

Um, there's some things that I don't really agree with.

But seeing the connection that we've had in the past,

we have good banter with each other

and the attraction, that's there as well.

So I have seen what we can potentially grow to,

and I do want to see a little bit more of it.

So for that reason I chose stay.

Beautiful. You know exactly what you need to do.

Yeah. Do those things.

You'll come back next week even stronger.

Thank you! Good work, guys. Well done. Thank you.

Our next couple up...

..Grace and Ashley.

Hello, you two. Hi, guys. Good to see you.

Welcome. It's good to see you guys. Good to see you.

Last time we were on the couch here, it was a little bit tense.

I'll say.

But we have to say

we quite enjoyed watching you last night.

It was quite lovely. And certainly, you know,

during the honesty box there was a bit of openness,

a bit of sharing, and there was a bit of a kiss.

There was. Told you she'd do it eventually. Mr Boombastic here.

There was a kiss and we enjoyed that.

Yeah. Me, too. I can see that!

And I'm glad that you did. So, yeah,

we went from the worst I've felt in this experiment,

and I think the same goes for you, to the best place we've ever been.

OK. And that's in a week. OK. So... What changed?

Uh, in-laws. Mm-mm.

So what feedback did you get?

My friends, they were very pro - like you guys need to just have fun,

take the pressure off.

For me, it was great to meet Ash's family

because they validated that Ash is extremely generous,

that he is all of the things he's presenting. Yeah.

I feel like you're seeing me for who I am. Mm.

I'm not a nasty person. I mean well,

and I feel like I've been kind of really patient. Yeah.

But I don't feel like I need to be that any more.

Like, I'm starting to kind of drop, and it's getting easier for me.

And we've just kind of gone from strength to strength.

Yeah. I wore a dress to the dinner party.

I didn't ask her to do it. Just want to throw that out there.

Grace's choice.

But those things, they did work... But they mean a lot to me.

They mean a lot to you. Like those little things.

I accept now

that there is no ill intent or malice,

and that you do want to be the right partner for me,

and that you are listening.

You are acting on the things I feed back.

You care. And now I'm willing to maybe give it

that more time, or I'm just more open to it. This is great.

It's done a 180. We're king and queen of the 180.

Well, what I'm hearing, Grace, is that you are starting to trust.

Yeah. Which is a huge leap from

where you were when we first met. Yeah.

I would love for each of you to tell each other

what you need from each other this week.

I think we're in such a good place now.

Grace is back. Like bubbly, fun Grace is back.

I think you're starting to enjoy

who I am to you, so just keep that up,

I would say. Grace, what do you need from him?

I'd love to be doing more of the fun stuff that we did

this week. We'll be the silly,

fun people that really enjoy each other's company.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, you two have had an incredible week.

I'll say. Really. This is wonderful.

This is real progress and I have so much more optimism

for you this week than I did last week. Thank you.

Thanks, guys, for all your help. We're going to go to a decision.

Ash, we'll start with you.

Um, every day my feelings grow for you.

I think you're an amazing, intelligent, funny woman.

And, yeah, I really want to see how far we can take this.

So I'm a definite stay.

Brilliant.

And to you, Grace. Um, somehow Ash and I keep rising

from the ashes as phoenixes.

Um, there's so much I like about you

and I'm so happy to be here with you.

So I'm going to stay.

APPLAUSE

Well, thank you. So good to see you smiling,

laughing together. More fun this week.

More fun this week. Good on you, guys. Well done.

That was amazing. Oh, thanks. Thank you so much.

Next up to the couch, Julia-Ruth and Divarni.

APPLAUSE

Hello. Hello. Hello. How are you guys doing?

Good, good, good.

OK, so how has your week been, guys?

It's been good. We'll talk about, like, in-laws week.

I think, if you like, remove that from there,

I feel like we're doing really well in terms of where we had conflict

from in-laws week, we were able to like deal with it a lot sooner.

So take me back to the in-laws week.

Um, my friends and family weren't too impressed about the things

that kind of unfolded between us in terms of the conflict.

Right. Divarni, what was your experience of the in-laws week?

OK, so my experience on that was heavy hitting for sure.

I did break down. Um, I just felt like you can't move on

if you're still reminiscing on the past, you know what I mean?

We're not trying to continue that circle.

Just break it so that we can break into new challenges

and new, new ways of building that relationship.

Yeah.

How do you feel like the relationship has progressed?

I feel like Divarni has such a good point

in terms of it's enough going around in a circle

and kind of rehashing things.

Stop picking at that wound and focus on the good things.

And that's kind of where we're at right now.

And I've told her, like, I've got strong feelings for her.

And that's something that I know will grow into something magical

later. She has made me breakfast, so it has been pancakes and bacon.

I'm not going to lie, it was banging.

And where are you guys at with intimacy?

I think we're still taking our time with that one a little bit.

No-one's rushing anything and there's no pressure

in this situation. I'm comfortable.

So I'm not saying that there needs to be pressure.

For sure, but I'm very comfortable where I am.

But I just feel like it's something that has been avoided here.

You know what I would love to know?

Are you physically attracted to each other?

100%. I am 100%.

Like, I tell her every single day.

Like, I'm just a bit behind and slower, like.

So you are physically attracted to Divarni?

I think he's an attractive man, yes.

No...

Oh!

Don't think Julia-Ruth is answering the question. She's not.

Are you physically attracted to your husband?

Yes, I mean, you are attractive, yes.

No!

Are you physically attracted to your husband?

I'm getting there. I'm on the path.

So are you saying at this stage you're not

physically attracted to your husband?

So are you saying at this stage you're not physically attracted

to your husband?

I think it's just taken me a little bit more effort than normal.

OK. It kind of sounds like maybe more conversations

need to be had in terms of how you progress that,

because I'm sure that's something that's quite important

for the two of you. Yeah.

OK, let's go to the decision.

Divarni, let's start with you. All right, so it is a roller-coaster,

but I value you a lot,

and just want to basically keep going down this journey with you.

So I have decided to stay.

APPLAUSE

Lovely. Julia-Ruth, what's your decision?

Yeah, I feel like we're trying to stop the circle and go forward.

And, yeah, I feel like we just keep doing

what we're doing and we'll see where it goes.

So I have written stay.

APPLAUSE

Excellent. So onwards and upwards, guys.

Onwards and upwards. Yes. Have a good week.

Thank you. Thanks, team.

APPLAUSE

Next up to the couch, if we can have Maeve and Joe.

CHEERING

Got some fans. Wow. Yeah, Maeve and Joe are loved.

All right. So, good to see you.

How are you feeling?

It's been a pretty weird week, to be honest.

Um, yeah, I've had something going on at home.

There's been, like, a death in the family,

and I didn't want to sort of tell anybody.

Obviously Maeve knows, but I just didn't want...

I just didn't want to bring that negative energy to the table,

do you know what I mean?

Well, first, Joe, our heart goes out to you.

Yeah. OK? And we appreciate you just being here, right?

Secondly, can we talk about this notion of

you don't want to bring this to Maeve?

Why do you do that?

Um, because I just want her to have the best time possible,

and, like, I don't want to bring my shit to her.

Then, like, I feel like I'm not there for you

because you're not telling us.

Then I feel awful, do you know what I mean?

Like, I can't do like my best

if you don't tell us what's going on.

Like, we're just acting like everything's fine,

but if it's not fine, it's OK it's not fine. Mm.

You know, Maeve is saying I want to help you,

I want to be there for you. And it's like just giving her

that opportunity without kind of worrying that she can't take it.

Just talk to us.

To be fair, in my past relationships,

and this is like my biggest criticism from my exes

would be that I always just want everything to be fine all the time.

And I could never have anything like negative happening.

I'd just either run away from it or just completely ignore it.

If you continue to do that, what you're saying is

is that you don't trust your partner,

you don't feel fully safe with your partner,

and therefore you won't be able to emotionally connect

with your partner. But I think what I'm saying

is we share all the positive, but none of the negative.

We've not really been fully honest about our arguments as well.

If there is like a problem,

we might like make a little comment or something

and then just ignore it and brush it under the carpet.

It'll get spoke, but like it doesn't get resolved, does it?

Exactly. Yeah. And why?

Honestly, I think, just from my opinion,

you'll just react in like quite a snappy way,

and then like, I'm like, oh, well, what's the point?

And then I'll like move the conversation on

and we'll have a laugh about it.

But conflict is not bad. You don't have to stay away from it.

I've been holding back because I don't want to, like, upset you.

Because you know what I'm like.

I go from like, I feel like I'm going out from like, zero to 100

in my head, I feel like I'm spiralling. Mm-hm.

And I don't want to be that person around you.

This is interesting. So then, Maeve, let me ask you.

You said you haven't been your true self. Well...

If you could describe Newcastle Maeve in three words... Yeah.

..describe Maeve.

Loud. I'm outgoing and I am quite opinionated.

OK, that was definitely not who we saw at the dinner party last night.

Yeah, I know.

That was definitely not who we've seen these last few weeks.

So where did she go? I don't know.

Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that Joe's calm?

I don't know, like, I feel like you have calmed me down,

and I do enjoy that. But there's still that side of me

that's a little bit like fucking nuts.

Do you know what I mean? So now there's calm,

but then there's also compromising who you are.

Yeah. Just to make your partner happy.

Yeah. And, Joe, you are compromising

in terms of not disclosing your true feelings

just to make your partner happy.

Agreed?

Yeah. And what's interesting is your demonstration

of not sharing suggests that you're not

as emotionally connected as maybe we thought you were.

If you want to better connect with your partner,

you have to be authentic with each other.

Joe, how do you believe you get to this space

where you can disclose more to Maeve?

So I just need to learn that, like, I can just be open and honest

with her all the time about everything.

And not everything's going to be

like sunshine and rainbows all the time.

Right. And then for Maeve, how about this?

When an idea comes to your mind, instead of editing yourself...

Just say how it is. Just say it how it is.

OK. That's easy, right?

Well, after speaking to you guys, yeah. I'm sound with that now.

Good. There you go. All right.

So there's no better time than now to go to a decision.

And, Maeve, if we can have you go first.

So there has been times when I thought,

if you can't open up to us, then where do we go from here?

Mm-hm.

But obviously I love you.

Like I actually do and I obviously care for you,

and this has just been like a learning curve, hasn't it?

But, like, I'm going to stay.

APPLAUSE

Thank you.

Joe. Um...

When I found out this news this week,

I just hadn't dealt with it very well.

It's a big thing for me opening up.

But like, the feelings I have for you are genuine.

So, yeah, obviously,

I really want to give this a crack and just keep going at it.

So for that reason, I'm staying.

APPLAUSE

You know, can I thank you both for opening up?

Continue to do that not just with us in the group,

but most importantly with each other.

All right. Thank you. Nice one, thank you. Cheers.

APPLAUSE

Next up to the couch, Davide and Keye.

APPLAUSE

Hello. Hello. Hello, good to see you.

Hello, how are the two of you doing? Good. How are you?

Good. You're even talking at the same time.

I know, this is just going to become a one thing at the moment.

OK, so dressing similar, talking together at the same time.

Excellent, and the physical intimacy side of things

you absolutely don't need our help with.

That is clear to see. How do we get the goodie bag?

And I'm loving how tactile the two of you are,

and we noticed that at the dinner party as well.

And Keye, you delivered a fantastic speech.

I'm glad you liked it. I was sweating so much.

He hates public speaking.

There is no situation in which before Davide,

I would have ever stood up and given any form of toast.

I just wouldn't have done it. But knowing that he's there

and knowing that I'm doing it for him gives me

that confidence to do it. So I'm more myself than I've ever been

because of this man and his support.

I love how the two of you support each other,

not just in these moments, but in what I would call the moments

when technically no-one is looking.

But we're still looking. I think it is beautiful.

I can be myself with Keye 100%.

He doesn't judge me for what I wear, the way I paint my nails.

He doesn't suppress me.

I don't have to change who I am around Keye

and I can speak and I can be vulnerable

because I know I have him.

Excellent.

So tell me about in-laws. Yeah, it was my mum

and then both of our best friends came.

Yeah, and it was, you know, it was really fantastic to have them

all there. It was good for me to put my mum's mind at ease,

that I was happy and with someone

that cares about me and that I care about.

So, yeah, it was, it was, it was really positive.

And we heard you drop the L bomb.

We did. Yes, we did. We did indeed.

Tried to sneak that one in, didn't you?

I can see that, you know, the love between you two is very strong.

You know, you have a really fun relationship.

You're very tactile.

There's so much great physical affection,

so a really great partnership here. Yeah.

OK, if we can go to decisions, we can start with you, Keye.

You bring a smile to my face every single day.

I've never met anyone that has lit up the room the way you do.

And I cannot wait to continue doing this with you.

So obviously I am going to stay.

APPLAUSE

And Davide, what's your decision?

All I want to do is to keep growing, keep learning about you,

and so I chose to stay.

APPLAUSE

Lovely. So have a good week, guys. Thanks so much.

Thank you, guys. Thank you.

APPLAUSE

The last couple we would like to invite to the couch

is Sarah and Dean.

APPLAUSE

Hello. Hello there. Hello.

Welcome back to the comfortable couch.

Let's make it uncomfortable.

We're going to go right to last night. Mm-hm.

Where we heard, Sarah, you say that there's still no spark with Dean.

For me, things have been moving positively.

But I can't seem to get to that sort of spark.

And I think I'm getting in my head about it quite a bit at the minute.

OK. Dean, we observed you last night talking about

what is starting to develop for you with Sarah,

and you mentioned that you fancy her.

Yeah, yeah, definitely. Yeah.

Do you feel that that's reciprocated?

I'm not sure. I hope it can be.

I was like kind of putting more things,

like holding hands, like little bum taps,

like little kisses on the head, on the shoulder, you know,

just to kind of like, I want to be more than your friend, you know,

kind of putting that out there.

But when we had my friend here at the in-laws week,

he's like, "Cut the BS. Like, are you happy?

"Like, how is it working?"

It's like, "We are progressing and stuff."

He's like, "But who initiates it?"

And I was like, oh, yeah, it is... It is me the majority of the time.

He's like, "What do you want?"

I was like, "I'd love for like Sarah to come to me

"and do those things to me,

"but I'm scared if I don't do it, it won't happen at all."

It's a tricky place to be in.

Dean, what's the name of your friend?

James. James is a good friend.

James is smart and is looking at you

and he knows what you deserve.

And he can see that you're not getting it.

Sarah, when Dean's doing these little things,

the touches and the just that physical interaction

that's more than friendship, how does that land for you?

I think initially I was a wee bit unsure and I was going with it

because I was like, let's give it a go and see.

And I think...

I think it's just happening almost too much for me now.

OK. You've sat here and articulated that you see potential here,

yet when Dean is showing ovations toward you

in a way that is more than friends, you're saying that's too much.

So you're sending very mixed messages here.

I just don't know why I can't seem to...

..get past this attraction or if it's ever going to come.

I just don't know.

I really want it to. He's an absolute gem.

He's my biggest supporter.

When I have been really struggling in this process,

he's been absolutely incredible.

I'm just gutted. I just really want it to work.

What do you want to work?

As a romantic, like, I want to see if that's going to develop.

I think we're almost at that point now where,

well, maybe if you take a step back, if I still feel the same...

I don't know.

Sarah, I'm wondering if you're making excuses here.

OK.

I wonder if it's easy for you to say I'm not sure or I don't know,

rather than say, actually, I don't think this is going anywhere.

And perhaps you're doing that because you're wanting

to save Dean's feelings, but you're possibly making it worse.

But I'm worried that if I give up that I'm going to be like,

"Oh, I wish I'd tried."

That's why I think I almost need just another week

just to see if I can come to you.

Plan a nice date and see how I feel,

and then I will know

that I have given it absolutely everything. Sarah.

I think you know how you feel.

OK.

I think you're clutching at straws here. OK.

And this is not to be harsh. This is to be real.

We are halfway through this experiment.

My head is I don't know. Yeah.

I think you do know that this isn't going anywhere.

At the moment, it's just a friendship.

It doesn't sound like there's any desire there at all.

At what point do you call it quits?

At what point do you call it quits?

Yeah, I understand what you're saying,

but we've made such big steps and you've said you can see it.

It is progressing, yeah. It's moving forward.

But, Dean, Sarah's also said that the affection is too much.

Mm-hm.

I think you're both in denial.

And I say that with respect.

I've given it everything, you know.

We all see.

And what you have to be careful of is that

it's not to the detriment of your own self-worth.

We love the two of you, absolutely, but together, do we think

that this is a relationship that is moving in a good direction?

No.

Yeah.

I just wish it was different. Yeah, well, me too.

Well, I think the two of you know what the smart thing to do here is.

You just may not be quite ready to say it.

Dean, what's going through your mind?

That it's shit. It's a really shit situation.

Because I just was hoping that it would work, you know?

I just want to be loved, bro. You know, that's what anybody wants.

You know what I mean? That's what anybody wants.

And I come in here with the biggest hope that I'm going to find it,

I'm going to learn. And I have learned about myself.

But like, I went straight back to my old ways

of putting someone on a pedestal, you know?

But I don't know how to be different.

I guess that is just who I am.

But how you're different is in this moment,

you choose yourself. Yeah.

Yeah, true. And you're aware of what's going on.

You know, you can label it. You can say, "I went into my old patterns.

"I put her on a pedestal. That doesn't work for me.

"I'm not going to do that again."

You've heard all of our feedback.

You've heard the feedback from your friends.

You've seen the feedback from your partner

in terms of not being receptive.

So you have all of this information.

What are you going to do with it?

Listen to it.

But are you going to act on it?

If I respect myself, I have to, innit.

Can you tell us what you deserve in a relationship?

I deserve to be wanted. Just someone who, like, adores everything

about you, you know?

Like I deserve to not be, like, asking to hold someone's hand.

You deserve more. Mm-hm.

And equally, Sarah, you deserve more.

I know. I know.

You deserve different.

Yeah. You know, you do deserve to be in a relationship

where you fancy the pants off him.

You know, that's absolutely what we want for you.

You know, we want that for both of you.

OK.

Well, we do need to go to a decision.

Dean, we'll go to you.

So I had written, like, to stay, because I wanted to see if there

was something I could change, but...

..yeah.

OK. Thank you.

And Sarah. Yeah, I had the same. I just thought we would give it

one more go. So I'd also written stay.

So now that you've had the benefit of this discussion...

..how do you feel about what you've both written?

I think we've tried, you know, but I can't do this any more.

It's tiring to keep trying.

If you honestly feel like you can't do any more,

I do have to leave.

Like, of course it will hurt me a little bit, but I'll be OK.

It will hurt more, I think, the further...

Yeah, I think then in that case, then we call it now.

I don't want to hurt you any more.

Yeah. Like, that is not what I want to do at all.

I just don't think we're right for each other romantically.

Thank you for being honest.

And, um...

It's OK that it's not worked, and someone will be out there,

I'm sure. And I've just got to take what I've learned from here, yeah.

100%. Yeah, and thank you for being absolutely amazing,

because you have been... You've been my biggest supporter.

And it's been a really rough ride.

And I'm so sorry it hasn't worked out.

And thank you. And thank you, guys, because it's been hard.

OK.

Just to confirm,

I just need each of you to say what your final decision is.

Dean.

My decision is to leave.

Thank you, Dean. And Sarah.

My decision is to leave.

Thank you.

Well, thank you, both of you,

for being so incredibly open and raw and honest with us today.

I think there's a lot of people here who want to give you

some hugs and kisses, so go for it.

Cheers. Nice to meet you. Good to meet you.

Oh, don't make me...

I am overwhelmed. I am emotional.

I really gave this process everything.

But I did come here for love,

and hearing the experts' advice,

leaving is the right thing to do.

You deserve the world.

I'm gutted. I come in here thinking I was going to find a mother

to my kids, the grandmother to my grandchildren, you know?

Oh!

But I can't keep putting stuff out if it's not coming back.

I'm going to miss all your smiles.

I owe it to myself to, like, respect myself enough to be like,

this isn't right. You do need to go and just go

into the world ready to find love,

and hopefully have that happily ever after.

Next time... I don't think he's really trying.

..even while apart... Just say, yeah,

you are treating me like a fucking piece of shit.

..Nelly... I'm not you!

..and Steven...

I don't think any of this is Nelly's fault.

You did fuck up.

I'm done with it.

..find their marriage stays under fire.

Clowns.

And for Divarni..

You have great sex, you have great sex,

you're not really having any at the moment.

..the burden of a long-hidden secret...

So I know the truth. She knows the truth.

This is really starting to piss me off.

..sparks an explosive clash with wife Julia-Ruth.

I looked like a complete fucking fool today.

We need to talk about this off camera.

You could be honest! Let it fucking go.

You want everything to be done your way.

No respect for me at all. I don't know where we go from here.
