NARRATOR: Previously...

(WOMAN SQUEALS)

..four unforgettable weddings.

(LAUGHS)

WOMAN: Quick, quick, quick!
Don't lose them.

LUKE: Sorry I'm late, everyone.
Sorry I'm late.

Farmer Luke's series of errors...

He was chewing gum, sort of,
with his mouth open.

Doesn't feel like the fairytale
I pictured for myself.

..dashed any hopes of
a fairytale start for his wife, Mel.

I didn't feel chemistry or
anything like that, unfortunately.

Babe, calm down.
I don't want you in the limo.

Despite a dramatic start...

(WOMAN SQUEALS)
(WOMAN LAUGHS)

There's nothing wrong with that.

..love blossomed for Gia and Scott.
(CHEERING)

I haven't had a spark like that
literally in years.

Honestly, I couldn't thank
the experts enough.

This is the one
I've been looking for.

This is a true love story right now.

Tonight, it's Bec's turn
to walk down the aisle...

(RIP!)
Oh! Oh!

Oh, my god!

..in one of the most unpredictable
weddings...

ONLOOKERS: Oh!

..the experiment's ever seen.

MAN: Oh, my god.

I just want something serious.

I don't want to be with anyone
that gets arrested.

(SIREN WAILS)

And...

JOHN: Chris may be
our greatest sceptic of all.

.this opinionated groom...

..is the experiment's biggest cynic.

"Let's try and be the 0.00001%
that works from this experiment."

But will he be proven wrong
by the experts?

I don't care. I don't care.

I don't care.

As Australia's biggest
social experiment continues,

newlyweds Gia and Scott are beginnin
their first day together

as husband and wife.

GIA: How are you feeling?

I feel married.

Married!
(LAUGHS)

SCOTT: Can't get rid of my smile
right now.

I feel great. I feel alive.
I feel married.

What else could you ask for?
(LAUGHS)

Has it all sunk in from last night?

Yeah.

It was so good. Don't you reckon?
Yeah. I can't fault anything.

No, not at all. We cuddled.
That was it.

We both are the same.
Like, he was like, "I like to wait"

and I was like, "Me too,"

so I think we're on the same page
with that.

There's no... We're not rushing.

"Gia and Scott."
Oh! Oooh!

You open it.

Oh, my god. Where are we going?

"You're heading to
the Ardo Hotel in Townsville,

"where tropical warmth
meets elevated luxury.

"The experts."

Oh, my god!
We're going somewhere warm!

I'm excited to go there,

get the bathers on, get tanned

and look at my hot wife in a bikini.

That's exciting.

Oh, my gosh.

I'm so excited.
I want to be alone with him.

Like, I want to talk to him more and
like, I want to know everything.

Alright, let's get out of here.

(BOTH LAUGH)

As Gia and Scott prepare to jet off
to tropical Townsville,

Mel and Luke are waking up
in separate beds

after getting off to a frosty start.

Going on my honeymoon. Yay!

I really hope I'm going somewhere
warm...

or WE'RE going somewhere warm.

Um... Yeah. Fingers and toes.

I don't think there's going to be
an option

of separate beds on the honeymoon,

which is OK
because we can just pillow it up.

Ooh. What do we have here?

"Mel and Luke."
Do you want to read it?

OK.

"Good morning, Mel and Luke.

"Now it's time to slow down
and enjoy your honeymoon.

"Louth Island, South Australia

"is a place where the world feels
quieter, the air feels lighter

"and everything invites you
to simply be.

"Enjoy. The experts."

Right.
Oh, man, that's gonna be so cold.

Do you reckon?
South Australia?

Yeah.

It's closer to Antarctica.

Mmm.

Bummer.

As Mel and Luke prepare
for their honeymoon...

Alissa and David are revelling
in the snow

on the slopes of Mount Buller.

DAVID: Oh, this is gorgeous.

What are you doing?

(BOTH LAUGH)

DAVID: Alissa definitely tested me
on our wedding day.

(BOTH LAUGH)

But I'm not going to lie -
I'm pleasantly surprised

that I'm having an absolute ball,

being able to just be silly
with Alissa and having fun.

I'm literally having
the best time ever.

Mwah.

And in Mudgee, New South Wales...

RACHEL: Oh, my gosh. This is lovely!

..Rachel and Steven have arrived
at their luxury eco-glamping resort.

Oh, my god.
STEVEN: Oh, fancy!

Hello!

But unfortunately for Steven,

he's come down with
a case of...digestive discomfort...

I've got a tummy ache.

Not feeling well.

It's a bit of a concern.
It's really bad timing.

Oh, is this the bathroom?

Yeah, it's definitely not
soundproof, babes.

(BOTH LAUGH)

..and a discovery
of an absent toilet door

isn't good news for Steven.

I am really concerned about this.

The bathroom is not really private.

I'm gonna lay off
the chilli tonight, I think.

It's the sound.
It's not so much the private...

the view, it's the sound.

We're all human
and we make sounds

and, look, this early
into the relationship,

I don't want Rachel hearing
my bowel movements. (LAUGHS)

As Steven navigates
the sounds of marriage...

Mmm.

..in Adelaide, we're about to meet
the next bride

to enter this year's experiment.

I am about to sit my family down
and tell them

that I am getting married
in a matter of weeks

on Married At First Sight Australia.

(LAUGHS) Crazy.

Yum!

WOMAN: Lovely.
It looks beautiful!

Lovely.

Well done.

That's excellent, what you've done.

Oh, (BLEEP). Um, OK.

I'm getting married because I'm 35,
I'm single

and I live in Adelaide
and I need all the help I can get.

(LAUGHS)

What happens if I tell you...
(LAUGHS)

that I am no longer
going to be single?

PARENTS: What?

WOMEN: Have you met someone?
(LAUGHTER)

What do you mean?
WOMAN: Have you met someone?

Not yet.
What do you mean?

How would you feel about walking
your eldest daughter down the aisle?

(GASPS)
Of course.

One day.
Of course I would. But...

What would you say
if I'd never met the person?

(LAUGHS)
You've never met the person?

Oh, no. Is that what...
(LAUGHS)

What would you say
if I was getting married...

on Married At First Sight?

Oh, my gosh.
(BLEEP).

You're lying.
(BLEEP).

I'm getting married.
What do you mean?

I'm getting married.
I think I'm going to need a drink.

(WOMEN LAUGH)

Holy crap.

(LAUGHTER)

Is it costing him anything?
No.

Oh, shit.
Not costing me anything?

(LAUGHTER)

This could be, like,
my happily-ever-after...

You deserve it. You deserve
all the happiness.

..and hopefully the person
that I'm going to marry...

ends up falling in love with me

the way that I'm going to
fall in love with them

and, you know...
(BIRD SQUAWKS)

..we go through
the hard times together.

You bastard. (LAUGHS)

BEC: I've actually been engaged
in the past.

I was only a few months
out of my wedding

and I ended up breaking it off.

Look, it was, uh... My ex-fiance's
a lovely person

but he wasn't my person

and I had reservations
about getting married

and I thought that
the kindest thing to do

would be to end that engagement.

The reality is, is that I knew
that I could marry that person

but I also knew that we would
end up being divorced,

so it was the toughest thing
I've ever done.

Since then, I have worked on myself.

I've worked on my mind.
I've worked on my body.

I've worked on my health.

And I've lost about 20 kilos,
maybe a little bit more now.

Growing up,
I was always the chubby one

and there was not a lot of self-love
going on.

My friends, they were all beautiful
and skinny

and I was never that.

I don't think I'm a ten out of ten
by any means at all, but I...

I definitely walk through life now

thinking and feeling
that I'm beautiful

and I've never felt beautiful
before.

This next chapter for me
is about finding someone

to walk through life with
and enjoy it with.

Laughter's really important to me
in a relationship.

You know, I want to come home
to a cheeky chappy

who, you know, is smiling and happy.

Paying each other out. I love that.

There needs to be a little bit of
like, you know, banter.

It's so important.

MAN: You can never be overdressed
or overeducated

and I'm definitely not overeducated,
so I'm always overdressed.

(LAUGHS)

That's true, though, isn't it?
That's, uh... Who said that?

I think it was Oscar 'Wylie'
or something, was it?

I'm Danny, I'm 34
and I'm a real estate agent

and businessman from London.

I've been living in Australia
for the last 12 years.

I was a cheeky kid, yeah.

Very. I'm still cheeky now,
to be fair.

I've been described as a geezer,

but I wouldn't walk around
describing myself.

(LAUGHS)

Oh... I don't know.

Me mum's nagging me.

I'm a bit nervous because
I've got something to tell you.

Oh, what have you got to tell us,
darling?

You know I told you
a couple of months ago

that I was talking to
Married At First Sight?

Yeah.

I'm getting married.

What?
Seriously?

I am.
Oh, god.

Are you happy for me?

She's not pregnant?

I've not even met her, Mum!

(LAUGHTER)

That's not the question.
(LAUGHTER)

My parents have been married
42 years this year.

Yeah, I'm very proud of them.

My mum and dad told me

"You've got to always have
each other's backs."

They've always been strong
and united.

My nan and grandad, they were
together for, like, 55, 60 years

until my nan passed away, so...

witnessing that as a child,
a good, strong relationship,

it gives you the right fundamentals

to, like, know
what you're looking for as well.

Definitely describe myself
as a gentleman.

If I take a woman out,
I'll always pay. Open doors.

Always be respectful to women.

You know,
that's just how I was raised.

And that's how you should be.

You know you see them
old couples in the pub

and they've been together 50 years

and they're sitting there just
taking the piss out of each other?

That's the kind of thing I want.

I want a relationship
like Bonnie and Clyde.

She was ride or die.

Well, she was breaking him
out of prison, right?

Like, that obsession with someone.

I mean, that's what I'm looking for.

I think if I was to meet
the right person now,

I could have something
very, very special.

She's got to have
a good sense of humour

because I'm always cracking
awful jokes.

Like, I'll do anything to make
someone laugh, to be fair.

Who is this woman
that you want to meet

and who you think is going to be
the woman

that meshes well with you?

What is she like?

Do you know what?
Men don't have a clue.

(LAUGHS)

I said this to my mate.

We don't have a clue,
but we know when we meet them.

This match is a lot of fun.

They're both very likeable,
down to earth

and their energy is infectious.

He's all about the banter,
the quick wit

and Bec has
a brilliant sense of humour.

She's honest, self-deprecating

and she really wants someone
who can make her laugh.

What I love about Bec
is she follows her heart.

If she feels something,
she's going to say it.

On the surface, she comes across
as very confident,

but underneath, there is a lot
of vulnerabilities about her.

Danny is a very confident man

and hopefully some of that confidenc
can really help Bec

navigate her tendencies
to self-sabotage.

This couple has so much potential.

JOHN: Bec and Danny.

NARRATOR: It's the morning
of Bec and Danny's wedding

and groom Danny is getting ready
with his closest mates Will and Alex

Scrub up alright.

Whenever you go to war,
you must have your boys with you.

A man in a well-tailored suit
can take on the world.

Absolutely, mate.
Do you know what I mean?

Yeah.

Cheers, boys.
MEN: Cheers.

It's not often Danny's best friend
Will attends a wedding.

He is far more familiar
with hens' nights,

having gained popularity with
millions of followers on social medi

as a Magic Mike impersonator.

I'm not here to give lap-dances
today. It's a wedding.

I'm here to support Danny.
It's not about me.

I don't want to take the limelight
away from Danny, you know.

(LAUGHS)

It's my job.

It's my career. It's not a hobby.

I do the hens' parties
and the birthdays,

the bachelorette parties,
not the weddings.

You've got the crown jewels
on there.

Look. The crown's nice,
though, isn't it?

But I'm thinking, at the end of the
night, I might just give it to her.

Do it, like, in a cute way.
How do I...

I reckon I'm just going to give it
to her and say,

"Up until now,
I've been a prince.

"'Cause you can't be a king
without a queen."

There you go, mate.
You've already got it.

She'll love it.

Is that cheesy as (BLEEP)?
That's what...

Bro, the whole... This wedding is...
Of course it's cheesy.

(MEN LAUGH)

NARRATOR: Across town,
Bec is putting on her final touches

before her big reveal.

(RIP!)
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh, my god!

Oh, my god, what the (BLEEP)!

This (BLEEP) bed's just (BLEEP)
(BLEEP).

WOMAN: What's happened?
I don't know

The bed's just caught my dress.
Oh, my god. OK.

What the (BLEEP) is that?
It's OK. It's OK.

It's probably just snagged.
It's alright.

Coming up, Bec's long-awaited
wedding day takes an unexpected turn

Just want to be matched
with someone that's serious.

He's out watching his best mate
strip every weekend

to shag the women that go there.

I don't want to be with anyone
that gets arrested.

I want my husband.

Sorry.

(RESOUNDING MUSIC PLAYS)

WOMAN: Hi.
Sam.

MAN: Hi, everyone.

MAN: Oh, hello.
(PEOPLE EXCLAIM)

(PEOPLE EXCHANGE GREETINGS)

Smart-looking group.

Hi, ladies. Lovely to meet you.
Hi.

Hello.
MAN: Hello.

DANNY: Normally
I'm a confident bastard,

but right now I'm petrified.

I want a love like my parents'.

I want my ride or die.

That's why I'm here.

So I'm the most nervous
I've ever been.

I'm ready to give this experiment
100%

and hopefully I'll walk away
with that old-school love

that I've been looking for
my whole life.

PEOPLE: Hey!

(LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE)

Yeah, I think she'll be very happy.
Yeah.

Sorry to keep you all waiting.
(WOMAN LAUGHS)

I'm Danny.

Nice to meet you.
Hello, Danny.

I'm gonna get you
to face this way for me.

Legend. Thank you.
He's tall.

(EXHALES)

BEC: My whole life,
I've never thought I was worthy.

But today, I'm confident.
I know who I am.

And that's because the self-worth
and the self-love,

it's all there now.

I feel proud,

proud of all the hard work
that I've put in,

proud of myself
for getting to where I am,

proud to be walking down the aisle
to a man that I've never met before

and feeling great about myself.

Oh, my god. (SQUEALS)

I just hope that when my husband
turns around and sees me

walk down the aisle,

he thinks, "Wow, she looks
beautiful. I'm so lucky."

Hi, Dad.

(BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYS)

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Hello.

Hi.

Dad, thank you. Love you.

Nice to meet you. Danny.

Hi, I'm Bec.

You look beautiful.
Oh, thanks.

How are you?
Bec?

Yeah, Bec.
I'm Danny.

Nice to meet you, Daniel.
You too.

DANNY: She's stunning. Yeah,
she's... She's a gorgeous girl.

She's just beautiful all over,
really.

She's got nice hair, nice skin.

Oh, my god, I'm shaking.
Are you nervous?

Indeed.
(LAUGHTER)

I can barely talk. But yeah.

Oh, same.
(LAUGHTER)

Yeah, she's my type as well,
so they've done a good job.

(LAUGHS)

You OK?

I need a vino.

Same.
Champagne.

I'm just kidding.
(LAUGHS)

BEC: He's got lovely eyes.
Beautiful eyes.

He's tall. He's got lovely teeth,
which is really important.

Normally the guys I date
are a bit shaggier.

That hasn't worked out,

so maybe someone that goes to
a good barber

might work for me this time round.

English?
I am indeed.

Yes.

(LAUGHTER)

Where are you guys from?

Melbourne. London, Melbourne.

Has anyone ever told you
you look like what's his name?

Channing Tatum.

(LAUGHTER)

He gets it all the time.

(LAUGHTER)

Have you seen that stripper
that's making heaps of money?

That's him.

(LAUGHTER)

Is that you?

That's him, yeah.

(LAUGHS)

I told you he was a stripper.

You... You slept with my friend
the other night.

(PEOPLE EXCLAIM)

Oh, my god.

I didn't recognise the bride,
so that's all that matters.

Oh, my god.

I'd heard you didn't ring her after,
so...

(PEOPLE EXCLAIM)

She gave him a bit of a shakedown.

She did try and stitch me up
a little bit, yeah.

(LAUGHTER)

She's gonna need to carry on
with that type of banter,

especially to deal with Danny.

She's feisty, mate.

(LAUGHS)
I like it.

Wait, are you a stripper too?

No.
OK.

No stripping here.

He's not a stripper, Dad.
Don't worry.

(LAUGHTER)

Oh, my god.

She's got good banter.

I like a girl who can hold their own
and take the piss out of Will.

(LAUGHS)

Let's get married.

Let's do it.

(LAUGHTER)

OK.

"Hello, soon-to-be husband.
I'm Bec.

"I'm really excited to meet you.

"I've been known to write a poem
or two for friends and family

"during their special moments

"and today felt like the perfect
time to write one for you.

"Here we are,
strangers at the end of an aisle

"Dressed to the nines,
both with impeccable style.

"No first glances and no first date

"Just trembling hands
in a twist of fate.

"A million eyes watching
a love story unfold

"With two hopeful people
not knowing what the future holds."

DANNY: I love girls who write poems.

That's old-school,
1950s kind of shit, so I like that.

"I want us to grow together
and create a life that feels safe,

"exciting and deeply ours.

"I can't wait to go on this journey
with you."

It was amazing.
Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Do you like my poem?
(APPLAUSE)

Good.

Yeah. Really confident girl.
Stunning.

Really good personality,
which is what you want.

She seems really nice.

I felt like a lot of the things
she said

sort of gelled with my mindset
as well.

I think that's took a bit...
a bit of the weight off,

to be honest with you.

I think my mum and dad
will love her, so we'll see.

We'll go again.

"The first piece of advice I'll give
you as your husband here today

"is these fine gentlemen
you see with me today,

"don't believe any stories
they tell you."

(LAUGHTER)

I'm the nice guy.

Oh, yeah. Here we go.
(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHTER)

Right.

"So I guess I should start off
by introducing myself.

"My name is Danny.

"Born and raised in England,

"but been calling Australia
my second home

"for over a decade now.

"A few things
you should know about me.

"I come from a strong
love background.

"My parents have been
happily married for 42 years

"and my grandparents
were married 65 years.

"I grew up watching
my parents' relationship

"and the way they stood
by each other no matter what

"and it's always something
I've aspired to have.

"I can promise you this.

"I'll always have your back
and look after you like a gentleman

"during this experiment.

"One of the main reasons
I'm stood here today

"is because of the constant nagging
from my mum

"to find myself a nice girl."

(LAUGHTER)

"She thinks a woman's going to
keep me out of trouble.

"In my younger days,
you could call me the wild one.

"But luckily for you,
those days are over.

"I'm looking for a Bonnie-and-Clyde
type of love.

"With that being said,
if I ever get locked up in prison,

"I'd like you to bail me out."
(LAUGHTER)

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

Um...

I mean, he seems like
a really lovely guy

and...

But I'm just a bit nervous,
to be honest with you.

I think that he kind of made mention
in his vows

of, you know, if he gets
arrested and whatnot...

And I just...like, I know that
I can be quite wild and fun,

but, like, I really want to
settle down

and it makes me worry.

(LAUGHTER)

I just want to be matched
with someone that's serious

about being
with their forever person,

not someone that's out
getting hammered,

acting a fool
to the point of getting arrested.

"I'm a firm believer
that soulmates exist

"and I'm here to find my soulmate."

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

I've given up everything.
Everything.

Everything.

And you're mentioning
getting arrested in your vows?

(BLEEP) that, man.

He's out watching his best mate
strip every weekend

to shag the women that go there.

No. It's bullshit.

You may now kiss the bride!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

I wrote you a (BLEEP) poem, mate.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Like, I wanted to come on here
to find love.

And I don't know whether or not
he wants that.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

I just want something serious.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE CONTINUES)

I don't want to be with anyone
that gets arrested.

I want my husband.

Sorry. (CRIES)

WOMAN: Yeah. But...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

NARRATOR: With Bec and Danny
now married,

the experts are about to reveal
a groom

that could be
their greatest challenge yet.

JOHN: We're not strangers
to sceptics

of the Married At First Sight
experiment.

We saw it last time with Eliot

and now I think, frankly,
Chris tops it all.

Obviously there's a reason
people are going on this show.

There's a reason you've got
"experts" doing it.

Chris is opinionated,
he's abrasive and he has no filter.

What? "Experts."

"Experts."

I think Chris may be
our greatest sceptic of all.

If that's a qualification. (LAUGHS)

I'm Chris, I'm from Melbourne
and I'm a construction supervisor.

Footy's big for me because
I've always been competitive.

I love what I'm good at.

Well, if I'm not good at it,
I won't be doing it. so nothing.

People really love me or hate me.

I don't hide my thoughts
or the person that I am.

(LAUGHS)

I've made a lot of enemies...
(LAUGHS)

but I've also got a lot of mates...

Cheers, guys.

..who enjoy the person that I am,

so I tend to surround myself
around those guys

and blow off the rest.

I've questioned whether or not
it's going to work for me.

You could just get on Hinge
or Tinder or something like that.

I've been through them all.

I hope it works, you know,

but obviously I'm doubtful
that it will.

I know you're sceptical...
Yeah, very, very sceptical.

..so I want to know

with the scepticism
that you're bringing with you...

Yeah.

..why choose to go
on this experiment?

I'm doing the whole dating apps
and it's just...

it's obviously not working for me
at the moment.

And outside of that,

obviously being
in this male-dominated life

with footy and work...

Like, I'm a tradesman...
Mm-hm.

..and I never interact with women

or have never really interacted
with women my whole life.

Oh. At school?

All boys' school.

So how...like, the social aspect

of just having a girlfriend
who's a friend?

I'd say I don't have...

You don't have a girl...a friend,
platonic girlfriend

who's just a friend...
No.

..to hang out with?

Yeah, I've never really been
in that position

to be...be around women
in a platonic way.

Do you think that you're awkward
around women?

Early on? Yes. Big-time.

ALESSANDRA: I wonder how comfortable
are you opening up

and sharing who you are?

CHRIS: I do have an emotional
and caring side

that I don't typically show.

Being surrounded by guys
my whole life

has just led me to distance myself
subconsciously.

JOHN: I actually find Chris
fascinating.

He's Married At First Sight's
biggest armchair critic

yet here he is,
applying for the experiment.

Chris is wearing a mask,

but as experts
we've seen behind that mask

and we want to explore
that soft side of him.

Despite the bravado and scepticism,

he's genuinely looking for
a connection.

MEL: He may be sceptical of us,

but we're not sceptical
of his intention

to find that long-term connection.

CHRIS: I've only really been
in love once

and it's just...it's just
such an absorbing feeling

and, you know,
I really want to find that again.

Parents are still together.

Mum and Dad are very in sync
with each other,

tell each other everything
and trust each other through life.

The love and the care
they have for each other,

that's exactly what I'm looking for.

You have to be able to trust
the person you're with.

I wouldn't cheat on my wife.

I think trust and honesty
are massive.

As soon as you lost those, you're...
you're done.

That's something that I've learnt
from my parents' relationship,

so I'm ready to commit
to someone, yeah.

Looks and attraction for me
is important.

I want someone extroverted
and opinionated, just like me,

but also compassionate, caring

and able to reciprocate
that emotional availability.

I think I'm picky in the way
that I want what I want,

but I'm not out there
looking for a supermodel.

So good. Oh, my god,
you actually look so good.

I'm Brook, I'm 27 and I'm a model.

Yeah, look to the side.

That's really cool.

I'm very honest.

I will voice my opinion and I will
be direct for the right reason.

I think I've always had thick skin
from modelling.

You're going to castings with
hundreds of beautiful women.

Hundreds.

You know that you're not everyone's
cup of tea and that's OK.

I am a strong woman.

I know who I am
and what I've got to give.

When people, you know,
find out that you're a model,

they probably think my love-life
is all rainbows and butterflies.

But in the love department,
my track record is pretty bad.

There has been
a history of cheating?

Yeah, definitely.

Right up from when I, like, had
a boyfriend at the age of, like, 14.

How many times do you think
it's happened to you?

Oh, my gosh.

Like, 80% out of 100...

Wow.

..I would say.

So I've had one boyfriend that's
cheated on me with an escort,

one that's cheated on me
through Facebook,

one that's flown another girl
from another country.

The list goes on. And I'm just
like, "Can a girl catch a break?"

Like, the last time I got
cheated on, I didn't even cry.

I was like, "Oh, I'm so fed up.

"I just... Honestly, why should I
have to put up with that?"

Why should anyone have to be
putting up with that, to be honest?

When I talk to you today,
there is a resilience about you.

Mmm.

I think in life you don't get places
if you're not strong.

I'm a huge believer in
'This is me, take it or leave it'

because I know what I deserve.

I need someone
that is ready to settle down,

that wants to have a family.

If I was to paint a picture
of my life in ten years

with the right person,

it'd be a little white picket fence
with two kids

and, you know, happy family.

I just hope you get
someone who's really kind,

but also, like, a little bit more
like, edgy.

Edgy!

(WOMEN LAUGH)

I mean, I definitely want someone
taller than me

because I'm 5'9"

and I want to be able to wear
high heels occasionally.

Six. Six foot.

PRODUCER: Are you?

Yes, I am, and I've measured this
at least four times on job sites.

ALESSANDRA: Because Chris is
such a headstrong, abrasive

and sceptical guy,

whoever we match him with
will have to challenge him,

hold him to account
and not be afraid to call him out.

And that is Brook.
JOHN: Ah-ha.

MEL: Where Chris is
the eternal sceptic,

in Brook
we have the eternal optimist.

What we love about Brook
is her confidence

and she knows who she is.

So, watch this space, guys.

We know these two could be
really good for each other.

The rest is up to them now.

NARRATOR: It's almost time
for Brook and Chris

to marry at first sight.

But as the bride gets ready
for her walk down the aisle,

the groom still has one final
loose end that must be tied up

before he ties the knot

and the stakes
have never been higher.

For the record, I'm going out
of my way to prove something

that I (BLEEP) shouldn't need to.

But here we are.

1900.

And you could probably say
it's about 18-4, 18-3.

But, you know, the lesson of the day
is I'm (BLEEP) six foot.

NARRATOR: And with that cleared up,

Chris can now turn his attention

to the second-most pressing issue
of the day.

How attractive his bride will be.

Uneasy, because I don't know
what's happening.

I know I'm getting married,

but apart from that,
I don't know anything.

I'd like to think
I know what she looks like,

which is based on, what I'm told,
what I'm attracted to.

I'd like her to have brunette hair,

be, you know, physically fit,
look after herself as the basics.

But knowing how life works,
I don't think that'll be the case.

If I turn around and see a short,
overweight, blonde girl

with fake tan
or just caked-on little pink cheeks

and then the (BLEEP) orange hands,

I'm gone.

As in, like, my physical...

She... She doesn't like
my physical looks?

Please.

(LAUGHS)

Please.

(EXPECTANT MUSIC PLAYS)

(WOMAN LAUGHS)

It's very surreal
seeing Chris getting married.

WOMAN: Hello.
WOMAN: Hi.

How are you?
Hi.

What do you reckon?
They're pretty. They're pretty.

Yeah, they've done well there.

I've been saying that, you know,
he needs to find someone

to share his life with.

It's show time.

Who's this?
Wait.

I'm happy for him. Very much so.

Hi. How you going?
Hello.

How you going?
Good. How are you?

Yes. What she said.
(BOTH LAUGH)

CHRIS: I hope it works.
I'm doubtful that it will.

But when I see my parents,

Mum and Dad are very in sync
with each other.

They live off each other and sort of
just bounce back and forth.

I want that connection with someone.

I want to replicate
the same relationship.

So if there is a chance,
whether it be 5% or 1%,

I'm willing to give it a go.

I don't want to be proved wrong.

WOMAN: Mmm.

Oh, yep. Sweet.

Oooh, hello.

WOMAN: Oh, we have someone.

That's him?
Is it?

Has to be.

CHRIS: (BLEEP) (BLEEP) this weather.
(MEN LAUGH)

(HUMS)

Mum.
(LAUGHS)

How you going?

What about the weather? (BLEEP).

Good day for it.

I can't believe
we're still doing this.

Take us out of here.
We're going to the pub.

(MAN LAUGHS)

Oh...

Christ.

It's raining.
Oh, god.

No, no, no, that is good luck
on your wedding day.

If it rains on your wedding day,
that's good luck.

Hi.

How are you?
I'm good.

It's funny, I turned around and
I thought... There was a bridesmaid.

But I thought it was...
(LAUGHS) the bride.

What's your name?
Chris.

Chris, nice to meet you. I'm Phoebe.
Good to meet you, Phoebe.

You reckon?

He turned around
thinking it was the bride.

I was thinking, "Uh, not my type."

Phew. Phew.

(MEN LAUGH)

Wait.

(SETS GLASS DOWN)

BROOK: When you're a little girl,

you always dream of having
your wedding.

I've been heartbroken so many times,

but it's given me a clarity.

I'm ready

and I'm going into this
knowing what I want.

I want to be adored.

I want to be loved
like I love someone.

And to be honest, if I don't
get that, I would tap out

because I'm only accepting the best.

(RESOUNDING MUSIC PLAYS)

WOMAN: Oh, look at her!

WOMAN: You can turn around.
Again.

(WOMAN GASPS)

(LAUGHS) Hello.

How you going?
How are you?

Yeah.

Yeah. Not too bad.

Yeah, not too bad. (LAUGHS)

Chris. Nice to meet you.
Brook.

Nice to meet you, Chris.
(LAUGHS)

Brook's attractive. What else do you
want me to (BLEEP) say?

Brook, you look amazing.

Uh...

Um, I don't know.

I'm gonna go up a little bit.

Yeah.

(LAUGHS AWKWARDLY)

That's (BLEEP).

I'm six foot.

She's wearing heels,
so she'll drop down a little bit.

I'll be taller.

(MAN LAUGHS)
She's taller.

I mean, it doesn't really matter
to me that I'm tall.

It's more like... I'm like, "Well,
if he's attracted to me, he is.

"If he isn't,
then it's not really my problem."

Not tall enough.

I'm not doubting myself at all.
(BLEEP). Yeah, 100%.

I'm cruising here.
I don't doubt myself. (LAUGHS)

What are we waiting for? (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)
CELEBRANT: OK.

Well, Brook and Chris...
Oh, gosh.

..you guys ready to get married?

If we can get married
and get out of the weather, yep.

I'm definitely getting a sense
that Chris is a stubborn guy.

Chris, if you would like to read
your vows.

"Hi."
Hi.

"I'm Chris, and like you
I stand here today

"ready to embark on an unexpected
journey with one goal -

"to meet my forever person.

"Confident, passionate
and never afraid to speak the truth,

"even if it gets me into trouble.

"Beneath this chiselled exterior,

"there's a genuine, compassionate
and caring heart.

"Unfortunately, I haven't been able
to share this with anyone

"for the past three years.

"I work in a male-dominated industry

"and spend weekends
on the footy field.

"Where am I supposed to meet someone
outside of a dating app?

"I have no idea.

"Being single
definitely has its positives,

"but at 31,
it's time to hang up the boots.

"I've been pretty sceptical
about this whole experiment.

"Statistically, the numbers
don't look great...

"and at times I feel the experts got
their degree from a cereal box.

"In this case, the positives and
potentials outweigh the disbelief,

"so I'm relying on us to prove
my scepticism wrong.

"With that, let's try and be
the 0.00001%

"that works from this experiment."

BROOK: I don't want to say
I'm disappointed,

but his vows were a little bit
on the negative side.

He did say that this has, like,
0.000 whatever he said...

1% chance of working,

so I'm kind of, like, "What are you
doing here?" in a way.

CELEBRANT: Brook.
Oh, god.

If he doesn't want to
show the effort,

I'm not going to be putting up
with it - I don't care.

"Never did I think
I'd be standing here today

"marrying someone
who was a complete stranger.

"But I'm beyond excited to see
where this path leads us.

"When I'm not doing something
completely wild,

"like marrying a stranger,

"I live on the Gold Coast
and work as a model.

"I'm someone who cares hard

"and gives all the people
in my life 100%

"and also the kind
who absolutely will call you out

"if you do perv on another female
while we're out.

"But I can assure you,
beneath the sass, sarcasm,

"there's genuinely a softer side.

"Unfortunately,
despite my kind heart,

"my track record of dating
and relationships

"has not always been great.

"My trust has been broken more times
than I can count

"and every time I have felt love
or gotten close to it,

"I end up getting hurt.

"Despite my bad experiences,

"I still believe my person
is out there

"and I hope that is you -
no pressure.

"Growing up, I've always been told
'stranger danger',

"but I don't like being told
what to do,

"so here I am.

"Hello, stranger.
Let's get married."

That's awesome.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

So far, I'd have to say
I'm more leaning towards

it's going to work than it's not.

Nailed it.
Thanks.

Oh, relief.

Brook's a model.
I've had two model girlfriends.

Probably is a good sign...

but I'm not putting all my eggs
in one basket yet.

Everyone,
it is my absolute pleasure now

to present to you all
for the very first time,

our newlyweds, Brook and Chris!

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

You can celebrate
with your first kiss.

Go on.

(LAUGHS)
Oh. Alright.

Oh!

Would you like to seal it
with a kiss?

You can kiss me on the cheek.
I'll give you a kiss on the cheek.

Mate.

I didn't give him a kiss.

I'm conservative.

I hope it put him in his place.

You know, you got to
earn your stripes.

You can work hard for that. (LAUGHS)

A kiss on the cheek.

Got a kiss on the cheek.

I'll hear about it from everyone.

(AWKWARD LAUGHTER)

MAN: His ego
is on the floor right now.

Far out. This is a disaster.

I don't care. I don't care.
I'm not fussed. I'm...

No, sooner or later,
I'm sure I'll kiss her.

I don't... I don't care about today
or tomorrow. It's going to happen.

Everyone, give them a big cheer.
The newlyweds!

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

(LAUGHS)

You'd think so.

Yeah, that was a bit strange.

PRODUCER: Yeah.

It is what it is. I don't care.

I don't care. I don't care.
I don't care.

I don't... I couldn't care less
if I get rejected.

I'm a grown man.

(SNORTS)

NARRATOR: Today, the experiment
has brought together Bec and Danny,

but bride Bec has been unable
to shake her doubts

about her new husband

after a comment he made
during his vows.

BEC: Hi, honey.
MAN: Hey, guys. How are you?

Congratulations.
DANNY: Thank you.

Thank you.
Come on over here.

It's been a long time coming.
(LAUGHS)

I am dubious as to whether or not
he is here for the right reasons.

I'm here to find a husband
and to settle down

and I hope he's here to find a wife
and to really settle down.

Good. And looking at each other.

I don't want to give up everything
for a party animal.

I don't want to
give up everything

for someone who's not nice to people
so they get arrested.

Do you like dogs?
I love dogs. Yeah.

I've got a cat.
Got a cat?

She's a rescue, OK?
Oh!

So everyone needs a bit of saving.
Ugh!

Are you here to be on a show
rather than to find a wife?

What's this? 'Cause you're English?

(HALF-LAUGHS)

It's a... It's a crown.

Yeah, I know. 'Cause you're English?

(LAUGHS)
Is that why?

No, I see it in the...
I see it in the tailor

and I was like "That's nice."

Oh, OK. Alright.

Do you like it?

No.

It's alright. (LAUGHS)

You don't like it?
It's a little bit... (LAUGHS)

I just think that knowing what
I know about him as a person,

he's probably not for me.

When did you come over here?

Oh, yeah. That's right. I'm sorry.
I just honed in on getting arrested.

So why did you hear that?

Bec, can I get you to come
just up here a little bit?

Darling, you can get me to do
whatever you like.

Danny, really laughing, OK?
Three, two, one, then.

And looking back towards me. Thanks.
(LAUGHS)

Cool.

I'm just going to come in
a little closer here, guys.

I'm worried about you, though,

because I'm here for real reasons
and I think you might be...

I promise you, I promise you,
on my whole life, I am.

I promise you.
I wouldn't come here for clout.

I promise you that.
Don't get that shit now.

I'm just a bit nervous about you
saying "If I get arrested,

"you bail me out."

That was...
What are you doing?

(LAUGHS)

What are you doing
on weekends, mate?

DANNY: I wasn't expecting that
at all, actually.

I don't want her to be thinking
like that, do you know what I mean?

I promise you, the...
I don't go out, Bec.

Neither do I.

But I'd expect you to bail me out,
same as if you got arrested.

'Cause it's ride or die, yeah?
Yeah, of course.

Got each other's backs.

She's got her guard up,
which is fair enough.

Maybe she's been hurt in the past
or something.

But I'm not here to hurt her
or anyone.

I'm going to be respectful
and a gentleman.

But, like, why are you here, then?

For LOLs and bants?

She probably thinks
I'm a bit of a wild boy.

But, uh, every...every man is wild
until he meets a good wife.

You should be wild
until you meet a good wife.

You've got to get that out of
your head, babe. I promise you.

What about the, um...
I'm here for the right reasons.

OK.

Don't be thinking like that
because it's gonna ruin it.

You know what I mean?

Sometimes girls think I'm wild,

but that's up to me
to show them that I'm not,

so that's...that's all good.

All I need is 1% of her trust.

I'll earn the other 99.
Do you know what I mean? So...

I'm not photogenic. I hate this.

Come on, babe,
you look unbelievable.

You look very pretty.

Flirting with my wife.
(LAUGHS)

This bloke.

Danny handled my line of questioning
really well, actually.

He 100%, like, took them on board
and answered them.

It's comforting to know that
I can actually maybe come to him

and have a conversation
with him about something

without any hesitation, which is
a green flag for me, for sure.

Can you pick that up? (BLEEP).

Thanks.

Shove it in there somewhere.
Yeah. They cost me a fortune.

Did they?
I paid for this whole thing.

I handpicked you.

It was like "That Bec bird
from Adelaide, she's unreal."

(BOTH LAUGH)

I feel bad that I may have judged
a book by its cover.

Them big knuckles of yours.
I know.

How long have you been boxing for?
I used to box a lot.

Did you?
Yeah.

I box.
Yeah. Will you teach me?

Yeah.
Can we box?

We'll do some sessions. Yeah.

BEC: He's a nice guy.

I feel like he would make me
feel safe,

which is nice, which I asked for,

so I probably shouldn't have cried
like a little baby

because he said
he was going to get arrested.

But do not get arrested.

MAN: And another little kiss for me
would be great.

(LAUGHS) I'm an arsehole.

Do you think he's gonna like me?
(LAUGHS)

He's probably run for the hills.
(LAUGHS)

NARRATOR: Across town, although
yet to give credit to the experts,

Chris is happy with his new bride.

But for Brook, the jury is still out

Hey, guys.
Congratulations on your wedding.

Thank you.
Thanks.

We'll take some nice pictures
to celebrate.

I don't know if I'm feeling
the spark yet.

I think maybe when I get to know him
a little bit better,

I could feel a spark,
but right now, I'm not sure.

So I reckon just come in here.

We'll do one of those
where we push them in the pool?

No, we don't do that.
(BLEEP) knock you out.

(LAUGHS)

Look at us both shivering so much.
I know.

This is the best weather
for a wedding, honestly.

I mean, I think Chris is
a little bit of a diva.

A little bit closer there, guys.

I'm going to change the lens.
Give me a second.

Surely you could have had
the camera ready.

You know, obviously it was freezing.
It's raining.

But suck it up, sweetheart.

And looking towards me, guys.

I'm just more interested in
going inside.

Like, sorry. It's your wedding day.

And if you don't want to be here
right now, stay at home

and fricken eat chips.

So cold.

Oh, boy. Are you cold?
A little bit.

You need to drink yourself a jacket.
(LAUGHS)

May I formally introduce you
to the new couple,

Chris and Brook, newly married!

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

And don't they look fantastic!

After you.
Thank you.

You guys look so, so hot together.

Must say, very cute.
Oh, really?

Really? Really?

CHRIS: Fancy...
Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, hello.
Hello.

Oh, hello!

My darling mother.
I'm Brook, by the way.

Jennifer.
Nice to meet you.

For me, family's massive.

Well done, Christopher.

Congratulations.
This is the old man.

I've always cared about
my parents' opinion with girls.

Nice to meet you.
Yeah.

How do you feel about
the whole experience?

I think it's great. I think it is.

Seeing her and Brook connecting,
it means a lot.

Things are lining up.
They're two peas in a pod.

Oh, that's so cute.

(LAUGHS) Yeah. You're probably
just, like, "Really?" Like...

Of course we are.
(LAUGHTER)

BROOK: I'm not sure
if I see potential just yet,

but I absolutely loved his parents,
to be honest.

He's very caring.

You know, there's a lot of bravado
and a lot of, you know, macho man.

But when you get past that,
you know,

he has got
a very caring personality.

That's nice. Yeah.

We do butt heads 'cause I think
we're very similar in a way.

Oh, really? (LAUGHS)

Jennifer said that he's got
a hard exterior

but he's definitely very caring
and sensitive deep down.

But you need to crack that nut.

So you are two were roommates?
Yeah.

Roomies.
Right.

And footy mates.

What do you rate
his roommate skills?

Like, absolute ten.
Like, I clean up after him.

I can't speak highly enough of him.

He cooks and then I literally clean
up by the time he's finished eating.

Oh, I like that.
I just can't handle...

I can't handle it.
No, I like that.

I think he needs to let his guard
down a little bit more,

show me what his intentions are

and hopefully I will see
a softer side to him.

I'm here to crack the nut.

So, what were your first impressions
of me?

For me, like,
personality matters a lot.

Like, I love someone
with a strong personality.

Like, to me, that's how I act.
Good. I'm glad.

So that's perfect.
Yeah.

They look good.
They look real good.

They might be into each other.

Have you ever cheated
on anyone before?

No. No.
Swear on your life?

I'm big on... I'm big on loyalty.
Swear on your mum's life?

Swear on my mum's life.
OK. That's good. Can you promise?

I think I judged too soon.

I want that connection with someone.

I've gotten to know him

and we do have
similar personalities.

There's definitely something there.

I'm shocked.
At the start, I wasn't sure.

Yeah, no, I was in the same boat.

I was like,
you're too stubborn for me.

I'm set in my ways.

But if there's reason and logic
to someone else's need...

That's fine. Like, I need, like,
someone that can compromise.

I, at the moment,
as I currently stand,

am happy with Brook and the decision
the experts have made.

Alright, are we cutting?
Are we cutting?

Are we cutting?

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(GLASSES TINKLE)

Whoo!

I'm not saying experts one,
Chris zero.

I'm not saying it.

Experts can still be zero.

(GLASSES TINKLE)

What's happening here?

I think we're due for a kiss.

GUESTS: Kiss!
(LAUGHS)

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

We're not getting to point one.

We're not getting
any sort of points.

I'm keeping my points

and they'll get their points later
when it's deserved.

NARRATOR: Still to come...

(BLEEP).

..David's honeymoon
comes crashing down.

(BLEEP).

I didn't realise they made
a photo of us in the future.

And things turn even more awkward
for Mel and Luke.

NARRATOR: With Bec and Danny's
reception in full swing,

Danny is trying to win over
Bec's father, Lee.

Hey.
How are you, Danny?

Honoured to meet you.
Good on you.

WOMAN: Do the right thing by you...

..and reassure him that he's here
for the right reasons.

I wanted to say it to you,
man to man,

look you in the eyes -
I'm a man of my word.

Good.
I'll always look after her.

I promise you that.
I'll never disrespect her.

Good.
I'll have her back.

I'm old school.

I wanted to say that to you,
man to man

because I know, obviously,

when you normally give your daughter
away, you'd know the person.

I like...
He's growing on me.

So much.

Just no more prison jokes.

(LAUGHS)

Having been won over
by new husband Danny,

Bec has pulled him aside to apologis
for how she treated him

earlier in the day.

(GLASSES CLINK)
Chin-chin.

How was your night?

I gotta be honest.
Like at the beginning, I was upset.

You had the guard up, didn't you?
Yeah, I did.

I feel bad.

I thought you were a party animal.

But you've just really changed
my mind.

And I'm sorry.

No, it's OK.

I was more just saying

If I got arrested,
I'd like you to bail me out

because I want a Bonnie and Clyde
type of love.

Alright.

That was what the quote was.
Yeah.

But...
I honed in on the wrong thing.

I'm sorry.
No, it's OK.

I think you're so different.

I loved it. She apologised.
I respect that.

So, you're happy?

I'm happy.

One thing I'll say about Bec is
she seems like a very lovely girl.

Your family are amazing.
You're amazing.

I asked for a good person
with a good family

and she is that in abundance.

Can I kiss you?

Absolutely.

(RESOUNDING MUSIC PLAYS)

Right now,
I feel really, really lucky,

ready to go head-first into
this experiment with this person.

But I'm really excited to see
what the future holds now.

DANNY: She's got a lot of things
I look for in a woman,

so the attraction is pretty high
right now

and I want to let Bec know
that she is a queen.

I hate that (BLEEP) brooch, man.
Mmm.

I hate it. It makes me feel ill.

(BLEEP) hell.

(LAUGHS)

So, why do you think I got this?

I don't know.
Because you love the Queen?

The reason I wore this crown today

was because you can't be a king
without a queen.

Mmm.

And you are the queen,
so I wanted to give this to you.

Um...
(BOTH LAUGH)

I think it's heinous,
but I love the gesture.

(LAUGHS)

Goodbye.

The first gift my husband's
ever give to me...

I appreciated him giving it to me
so I'd never had to see it again.

(LAUGHS)

Never wear it again.
Heinous.

Even... The gesture is beautiful.
But it's (BLEEP) awful.

I mean, how dare that tailor
sell it to him!

In fact, I'm going to sue
that tailor.

Do you need a hand?
No. I'm good.

Thanks, babe.
You alright? Sweet as a nut.

Oh, it's upstairs. Get rid of it.

I left it there by accident.
Sorry, darling.

No.

Will I say it was?

Yes.

NARRATOR: With their wedding day
behind them,

Bec and Danny are waking up
as husband and wife

for the very first time.

How do you feel?
Hon, it's 7:00...

You have to say...

You're meant to say "I feel like
the luckiest guy in the world."

I do.
That's right.

There was no intimacy last night.

Definitely lots of kisses
and cuddles.

He can wait 'til the honeymoon.

I had a little feel. I need to see
what I'm working with.

I'm about to go on my honeymoon
with him.

And with that,
it's now time for the couple

to find out where the experts will b
sending them on their honeymoon.

"Congratulations on
your recent nuptials.

"You're heading to the breathtaking
shores of Natadola Beach in Fiji."

(BOTH LAUGH)

So good.

While Bec and Danny's marriage
is progressing well so far,

Brook and Chris have spent
their first night as husband and wif

sleeping in separate rooms.

Last night I slept out here.

But that's...that's fine by me.

It's a very unique situation being
dumped in a house with a stranger

sleeping under the same roof.

I'm sure she thought her door was
going to open at some point

and get murdered.

Good morning, husband. (LAUGHS)
Morning.

How are you?
Good.

How you going?
Good.

How did you sleep?
I slept very well.

Yourself?
Good.

I personally generally go
a little bit quicker.

But I'm here for a reason. I'm here
to do something different.

And so maybe I do need to slow down
and take things step by step.

OK. "Good morning, Brook and Chris.

"You're headed into
the heart of wine country

"to the lush whispering hills
of the Hunter Valley.

"Enjoy. The experts."

About the first thing...nice thing
they've done for us.

Oh, don't say that.
(LAUGHS)

I would like to say
that Chris is a positive person,

but I think he can be
a little bit whiny.

But we'll snap it out of him.
(LAUGHS)

You go.
Muscles. Thank you.

NARRATOR: While Brook and Chris
and Bec and Danny

head off on their honeymoons...

Off to Fiji.

..in South Australia...

Luke is still trying to break the ic
with wife Mel.

Yeah. It's nice.
With a slanted roof. That's cool.

Hmm.

Kind of feels like you're in
a leaning tower of Pisa.

MEL: I'm on my honeymoon,

but I'm not feeling
those romantic honeymoon vibes.

Oh, I didn't realise they made
a photo of us in the future.

That's really weird.

It's so unfortunate because
I really wanted a fairytale

and at the moment, I'm not feeling
like I'm the princess

in the fairytale.

Well, what if I want to sleep
in the king bed by myself?

Scissors, paper, rock for it.
No way!

You don't know how to rock it off?
I do.

Is that not a Canberra thing?
Yeah.

Scissors, paper, rock.
I go paper, scissors, rock.

But either or.
OK. Scissors, paper, rock.

OK. On rock or on shoot?
Scissors, paper, rock, shoot?

What?
On shoot or on rock?

Scissors, paper, rock.
Oh, you do it like that? OK.

What do you do?
Scissors, paper, rock, shoot?

Yeah. No, we'll do your one.

Can we just do scissors,
paper, rock, please?

Yeah. Go for it.
What happens...

So the person sleep on the couch...
Loser has to sleep on the couch. OK.

OK. Scissors, paper... Wait.
Why are you going like that?

How do you do it?
I go like that.

That's weird.
That's weird. (LAUGHS)

OK.
Really?

Yeah. OK. So...
Alright.

Scissors, paper... Oh, you do...
Yeah. OK. Again.

Scissors, paper, rock. There you go.

That was a friendly game.
No, it wasn't.

You said it...
No, you didn't.

I crossed my fingers.
That was a friendly game.

So, get your...
Hey, be nice.

I am being nice. Get your pillow.
I'm being nice about it.

I mean, it's pretty cold.
Yeah.

It's fine. If we don't have a spare
blanket, I've got a spare towel.

So... Do you really even need
a blanket?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

At the moment, I would say
it definitely feels, like,

a little bit uncomfortable
between Mel and I.

Do you think I'm joking?

(BOTH LAUGH)

I am... I'm not.

We obviously didn't get off
to the best start.

Um... But I am still trying.

We're in this together.

We're now married and I really want
to make this work.

If you were a Neanderthal,
what would you do?

You wouldn't even have a towel.

Well, I'm not, so...

What would you do
if you were a Neanderthal?

I wouldn't be one.
Why not?

'Cause I'm a princess.

D'uh.

NARRATOR: The honeymoons
are well underway

and on the tropical shores of Fiji..
(CONTESTANT EXHALES)

..Bec and Danny have spent the night

discovering
their own slice of paradise.

(KISSING)

BEC: Come on.

You want a cup of tea?

DANNY: Thanks.
(LAUGHS)

I saw Daniel's anaconda

and it did not disappoint.

Sensational all round, people.

Good shower, good sleep, good shag.
(LAUGHS)

It was a sensational night.

Very pleased.

A-plus.

It's great. (LAUGHS)

So much better than it being a dud.
Jesus. Thank god.

Oh, imagine.

That would be awful, wouldn't it,

not having sexual chemistry
with your husband.

With sexual chemistry,
it's either there or it's not.

It's sort of just...

It's not there.

I'm gonna go and have a dip.

Dip your wick. (LAUGHS)

Well, I am attracted to Bec, but...

I'm here to find love

and I'm just concerned that
there's not enough chemistry

between me and Bec
for it to be that, to be honest.

While Danny struggles with his lack
of sexual chemistry with wife Bec...

in Townsville, there is no such
problem for Gia and Scott.

SCOTT: What are you doing?

Stretching.

Sorry. That looks nice
so I had to touch it.

You're allowed.
You're my husband.

GIA: We're having such a good time.

Like, there's... There's really
nothing to complain about.

Like, there's just some connection.

It's hard to, like, honestly
keep our hands off each other.

Push your arse out more.
It looks good.

Like, bend it all the way over?
(LAUGHS)

I think for him it's getting harder
to put off sex

because he, like...he definitely...

If he had his way,
I think he'd do it now.

Do you care
that I'm just staring at you?

No.

(STRAINS)

But I feel like the lead-up's funner
than the actual thing.

(STRAINS)

Having fun?
Yeah.

(LAUGHS)

So he'll have to wait longer.

(GASPS)

(SCOTT LAUGHS)

From a confident couple

to a groom with no confidence
in the experiment...

BROOK: Shit. Oh, yuck!

I just put my hand on bird shit.

(LAUGHS)

You know, worst-case scenario
in my mind was not this.

You know, it was a lot worse.

Oh, my god! (LAUGHS)

CHRIS: We're having, you know,
a lot of fun.

(LAUGHS)

Things are going well.
I'm actually...

I think I'm gonna have to start
apologising to people soon

for ridiculing...ridiculing them.

I'm not apologising yet.

Alright, we'll clean up this...
this bird poo situation.

What a gentleman.

(LAUGHS)

I love... I love the humour.

That looks like a female...or...

No, there's balls on that.
(LAUGHS)

It's not a female.

Like, she's attractive, but she's
also got an attractive personality.

That's two boxes.

Shall we go through the vineyard?

It says no walking
through the vineyard.

(WHISPERS) Let's do it.
(LAUGHS)

I am willing to admit it.

I'm very happy with being matched
with Brook.

It's always better to ask for
forgiveness than permission.

(LAUGHS)

NARRATOR: And for Rachel and Steven,

life in Mudgee is all about the view

(BOTH LAUGH)

(RACHEL LAUGHS)

BOTH: Mmm.

(LAUGHS)

Atop the snowy peaks
of Mount Buller,

Alissa and David are embarking
on a sensual spa day.

Ready for the steam room?

ALISSA: There's a lot of chemistry
with David and I.

We're getting closer.
There's still a lot to unpack.

It's like an onion
with all these layers.

Oooh!

We really are enjoying
our time together.

Oh, my god, you're so naughty.

(CRASH!)

(BLEEP)!

Just as things are getting
hot and steamy,

David has taken a terrible fall
inside the steam room.

Just something I can...
I need a minute.

DAVID: I slipped.

Couldn't catch my footing
and landed on my left knee.

Let me have a look
if you've got something...

But I'm so lucky
that my wife's a nurse.

She jumped right in.
She strapped me up.

(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)

I've definitely seen
a massive different side to Alissa.

When it comes down to it,
she deeply cares

and she really does mean
what she says

when she says that she's going to be
with me through thick and thin.

We're in it together, you know.

Very well done.

Seeing David hurt himself today
was, yeah, really awful.

David just needs to rest
the next few days

and I'm going to make sure of it.

It's alright, we'll still have
a good time together

because we love being
in each other's company.

You know what,
I'm just glad that he's OK.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, I can do it in my sleep.
You literally can.

Like, that's crazy.

Back in Fiji, Bec has noticed a shif
in Danny's energy

after last night's intimate encounte

and with Bec feeling like Danny's
affections have dropped off,

she wants to address
the changing tides.

I'm feeling a little bit
disheartened, I think.

I don't know whether or not
it's because I've been...

(EXHALES) just playing things
through in my mind or what it is.

How was it?

DANNY: It was nice, to be fair.

But at this point in time,

I'm not really feeling like
Danny is showing me

the sexual attraction
side of things.

I think Danny is holding back.

We had such a nice day yesterday.
Like, didn't we?

Yeah, such a good day.

But, like, it's taken me back
a little bit,

this morning, I think...

because I'm not really feeling it
from you.

(SIGHS)

I just feel a little bit
disheartened.

I also think that you need to have
some level of, like,

sexual attraction to one another
from the first instance

and I don't know if we have that.

Mmm.

I think
there's sexual attraction there.

But it's maybe just like
the chemistry is not as much.

But that's a really big part of it,
because that's connection.

Intimacy is connection.
I know, yeah.

You know? So...

I think my worry about this
situation is, like,

we know we get along,

but I don't know whether or not
we're gonna be able to go from

getting along and being mates
to actually being lovers.

Yeah.

(SIGHS)

BEC: We know we get along,

but I don't know whether or not
we're going to be able to go from

getting along and being mates
to actually being lovers.

Definitely good friends, aren't we?

(SIGHS)

Like at the minute, obviously,
me and Bec have both agreed

that the sexual chemistry
isn't the highest.

What happens if we don't get there?

But it's early days, isn't it?
Yeah, it is.

I think as long as we're both open
and honest with each other,

that's all that matters, really,
isn't it?

Yeah, absolutely.
We're such good...

Like, at the minute,
we're such good mates.

OK.

If this was the outside world,
I'd probably just call it quits

and be respectful
and part my ways.

What do you want to do now?

I don't know.

Just got a lot playing on in my mind
at the moment.

But this isn't the outside world.
This is an experiment.

It's taken me back a little bit.

Yeah.

I'm here to really give this a crack
and to find...find love.

Go for a dip, yeah?

I'm humble enough to know
that sometimes in life,

you need to change your ways.

So I'm here to really give this
experiment a red-hot crack.

(BEC CRIES)

Oh...

(SOLEMN MUSIC PLAYS)

(CRIES)

Shit.

Yeah, I just feel like
an initial spark should be there.

If it's not there

when we get along so well now,

how are we going to grow that?

How are we going to take it
from one thing to another?

(BEC CRIES)

It's just really hard to face that,
you know,

feeling undesired.

(CRIES) That's how I feel.

I feel unattractive.

And I don't want to feel that way

'cause I've done...I've worked
so hard to feel amazing in myself.

(CRIES)

And now I just feel like
I've just taken a step back.

Kind of makes me feel ugly.

Sorry.

(SOLEMN MUSIC PLAYS)

I don't want to feel like that.

NARRATOR: Tomorrow night...

You're putting me down.

(CRIES) It's hurtful.

..it's the fight no-one saw coming.

Sorry. (CRIES)

The honeymoons heat up
for Gia and Scott...

GIA: There's definitely
sexual tension, for sure.

..but in Fiji...

Do you want a triple take
on the girl

that you've been staring at all day
again?

..has Bec just busted Danny
looking at another woman?

I don't know who you think you are.
Do you think you're David Beckham?

And the search for true love
continues...

Being a recent empty-nester,

the only piece that's missing is
someone to share my life with.

You look beautiful, Mum.
Do I?

Yes. You've got this.
I'm proud of you.

..in one of the most magical wedding
ever seen.
