fall for you ♪

- "married at first sight"
is back.

- ♪ you want me too

- And this time,
we've come to denver.

[upbeat music]

We're here to bring together
five hopeful couples

Who are all ready
to marry a complete stranger.

- I'm 29 years old
and 29 years single,

So it's time.

- I see my friends
getting married,

Having kids,
starting their family.

The worst part is
that I haven't found that yet.

- I'm a great person.

I will be a great wife
to whoever does

End up marrying me.

- ♪ I'm on top
of the mountain ♪

♪ how did we get here?

- For many singles today,
the traditional ways

Of finding a spouse
haven't worked.

- I really want to be married,
and I'm ready now.

- And in a world
of superficial dating apps,

Unrealistic expectations,
and fear of commitment,

It's never been harder
to meet the perfect match.

- I do believe
that love is out there.

- But there's still hope.

All they have to do
is put their faith

In us to find them
the love of their lives,

Sight unseen.

- I know I'm ready
to just jump right in.

- Tonight, we are revealing
the intense process

That we go through
to match our couples.

- Here's a man
who knows himself.

- I want to visit him at home.

We have to find the candidates
with the best chance

For making
a successful marriage.

- Hey.
- Hi!

- It's not easy,
but when love is on the line,

There is nothing
more important.

I think we have
some great candidates

To make some lifelong matches.

- You ready to be a wife?

- I am.

- This is
a serious commitment.

Our singles are not here
to date or simply be friends.

Just like
our couples in the past,

They will enter
a legally binding marriage,

And the only way out
is divorce.

- It would be best
to get a divorce.

- Our method may
be unconventional,

And the process
is challenging, but it works.

Over the years,

The number of "married
at first sight" couples

Who found their forever love
continues to grow.

And so do their families.

- Finally!

- Who will be
the next five couples to put

Their hearts on the line
in order to find love?

- My husband is
at the end of this.

I'm so excited.

- ♪ it's all or nothing

- Find out tonight on the
"married at first sight"

Denver matchmaking special.

- Pepper, pia,
look at this scenery.

Don't you love denver?
- I do.

- I mean,
this is the perfect place

For us to have our next season
of "married at first sight."

- I am super excited to finally
be a part of the team

And join both of you
in the matchmaking process.

I know that finding
matches isn't easy,

But I'm happy to be here.

- Well, you know,
it's a really tough task,

But it's something
we love to do.

And nothing makes us happier
than getting a couple

On their road
to a lifetime marriage.

- I believe denver is
an incredible city.

I mean, the mile high city
has so much to offer.

I mean,
there's incredible nightlife.

The food is fantastic.

The scenery is incredible.

This is just a fantastic spot.

- I love denver,
and this has grown

Into an area where there
are so many young professionals

Who are in aerospace,
and health science, and tech.

- We have professionals.

We have athletes.
You name it.

It's a little bit of something
for everybody here.

- Yeah, I hope
there's a few cowboys.

That's just me.
- [laughs]

- Well, dr. Pepper, pastor cal,
I am excited to dive

Into the denver
singles scene...

- Yes.
- And find us some matches.

- Oh, yeah, me too.

Somewhere out here
in denver, colorado,

There are ten hopeful singles

Waiting to marry
a perfect stranger.

You guys ready to go find them?

- Oh, yes, we are.

[upbeat music]

- This season,
over a thousand denver singles

Applied to be matched
with a total stranger

And take the ultimate
leap of faith

To get married at first sight.

- Denver is
considered "menver."

They say two guys
for every girl,

But it's hard to find
a really good guy here.

- I've given up because
the men I'm attracted to

Are not good for me.

- I seem to attract
gold diggers,

Or I'm trying to get away
from gold diggers.

- My grandma always
tells me--she's like,

You're probably gonna
be alone forever

Unless something really weird
or strange happens to you.

- I'm, like, a hopeless
romantic, so if I see--

I'm like, oh,
we both like cheese?

Wow, great.

We're gonna get along fine.
[laughs]

- I really like to get
to the deep parts of people

And getting to know people
on a deeper level,

Which can be scary in dating.

- When I may start
to pull back,

I need someone to kind of push
me back in that direction

And say, no, just keep going,
just keep trying.

- I want someone who's
on the same frequency as me.

I want a partnership.

- This is my last hope.
This is my last chance.

Guys, make my dreams
come true here.

Find me a man.
[laughs]

- We narrowed down all
the interested singles

To a select group of people
who then had to pass

In-depth background checks

And extensive
psychological evaluations.

Once they were cleared
to move forward,

We brought
the hopeful candidates in

For the next phase,
meeting with us

For a series
of in-person interviews.

- Hey, michael, come on in.

- Meeting our applicants
face to face is crucial.

All right,
let's jump right into it.

- Let's do it.

- We want to learn
why they are here,

What they're looking for...

- Do you want children?
- That's a good question.

- And if they truly have
what it takes to marry

A stranger and make it work.

♪

Why "married at first sight"?

- I just think that I'm not
good at choosing for myself.

- Dating apps are crap.
- Mm-hmm.

- And I'm tired of dealing
with the garbage.

- Ok, all right.

- I'm 29 years old and 29
years single, so it's time.

- I'm ready to go in
with the entirety of my heart.

- I've lived
an unconventional life.

I'm ready to meet my partner
in a really unconventional way.

- I do want to get married.

I've always wanted to have
that american dream life.

- I think I've been ready
for this commitment

Just because of everything
that I've learned,

Everything that I've
been through.

- Right, right.

- So I know I'm ready
to just jump right in.

- I have never found
what really speaks to me.

It feels like I've been
searching my whole life.

- I've never done
anything traditional.

That's always been
super rewarding for me.

And I think that
a marriage in this way

Could be the same way.

- Ok, fair enough.

- Tell me who you are.

- I grew up
on the navajo reservation.

As a community,
you know, the one goal

Is to change the world
one person at a time.

I never hesitate
to do my part in that.

- Yoga is a big part
of my life and a big part

Of my practice and meditation.

- I'm a native coloradan,
so I love biking,

Skiing, hiking, that stuff.

- All the outdoor stuff.
- All the outdoor stuff.

- I do consider myself
to be the life of the party.

- Ok.

- And I love just, like,
going out with friends,

A big concertgoer,
and, like, drinking.

- Ok.

- You're not
your average colorado guy.

- My expression
and how I dress,

It's a lot
of different components

Kind of put together.

- I am a quadruplet.

I adore my family.

They are everything
that I need in my life.

- I'm a pretty selfless guy.

Like, I put everyone
before myself.

- Ok.

- And I think that is huge
in a relationship.

- Gotcha.
Ok, great.

- What's that element
that's keeping you single?

- You know, I haven't really
connected with someone.

- I've kind of been very
specific about what I want.

Again, which is why I'm single.

- So when I moved to colorado,
I met a beautiful young lady.

I hadn't ridden
a mountain bike,

And I set a goal
to race 100 miles and--

- 100 miles?

- And so that was
one relationship down.

- I knew that in order
for me to fully commit myself

To someone else,
I needed to be

The best version of myself.

- I'm a big personality.

I'm successful
in my career for my age,

And sometimes
I don't know if that's just,

Like, too much for someone.

- They friend zone you.
- I get friend zoned, yeah.

If I get called
a friend one more time--

It's a triggering word for me.

- [laughs]

- I want someone
who's smart and fun,

Energetic, big social circles.

- If there's a lack of
character and integrity there,

I'm not gonna be
attracted to it.

- Exploring new things
and exploring

Different parts of their body.

- I love curly hair.

I'm a sucker for curly hair.
That gets me every time.

- How important is sex to you?

- Ooh.
[laughs]

I've never been
asked that in my life.

- Ok.

- I like to have sex, I do.

I just think that there
has to be regular intimacy

On some kind of level.

- I'm a scorpio.

Sex is important to us.

- I wouldn't be opposed
to having sex every day.

- Ok, this is a safe space,
no judgment.

What do you need sexually?

What are you looking for?
What do you want?

- You have to have foreplay.

- I like it when she bites me.

- One, like, weird thing
I've always, like,

Enjoyed was, like,
sex in weird places.

Like, hey, we're on a hike.

- Look, I'm not a prude,
but I don't want

To fear for my life.

- I wouldn't say I have kinks.
- Ok.

- But I'm willing
to experiment.

- I would like him to be
sexually adventurous

And open to trying
new experiences.

I don't have a lot of hard nos.

- Tell me about your most
recent group-sex experience.

- Oh, my gosh.

If this gets aired, my mom's
gonna kill me, but whatever.

- It needs to be girthy.

- Say it again.
You're a girth girl?

- I'm a girth girl, yeah.
- Ok.

- Do you feel like
you have a lot of sex?

- Well, not in this moment.

There's one or two guys,

We're friends
with benefits situation, yeah.

- I've kissed a man.

- Did you come to a conclusion?

- He laid one on me,
and I was not about it.

- [laughs]
- yeah, I was not about it.

- When was the last time
you had sex?

- Um...

- What's
your favorite position?

- Probably, like, doggy style.
- Mm-hmm.

- It's weird to say on camera.
- Ok.

- I would give
my sex life a five

Because it's not the worst,

And it's not the best
it's ever been.

- It's a zero.

- I'm a virgin.

[laughs]

- Any final words?

Anything that we
haven't asked you?

- Oh, my gosh, I don't think--
you got into it.

- Ok.

- After our interviews,
we meet up

To go over
the remaining candidates

And discuss who each of us
believes should continue

In the matchmaking process

And who doesn't have
what it takes

To move forward to
the next round of home visits.

- I really think this is
a great group to choose from.

You know, denver is
treating us extremely well.

It's been a great city.
- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- It's gonna be hard,
but we now have

To narrow down who we're
gonna see for home visits.

- I'm ready to dig in.

- All right,
so let's start with becca.

I think we all think
that she's attractive,

Fun, smart,
got a great business.

- I like the pink hair.

It lets me know a lot about
her character and personality.

- We're gonna go see her.

- Let's talk about michael.

I like michael.

You know, he's so
outside of the box.

- I think he's so genuine,
and the confidence

That he exudes--
like, when he walked

Into that interview
with his outfit, I was like,

Here's a man who knows himself.

- Well, ok, he's got flair,
but he's got substance.

- I want to visit him at home.

- Where's orion?

- My man, orion.

- So this is a guy who's
a little bit of everything,

And he was such a sort
of sensitive, deep thinker.

He seems to me, like,
a really interesting mix

Of both feminine and masculine
attributes in a nice way.

- Yeah.

- I just want
to know more about him.

- I want to know more
about him as well.

- Yeah.
- Keely flack.

She also had a certain
uniqueness to her.

She came across as having
a genuinely nice personality.

- All right,
so let's look at clare.

She was the therapist,
and she was such a sweetheart.

- I detected a lot of depth.
- Mm-hmm.

- I think she's mature
enough for this.

- So what about austin?

I think, you know, they make
the joke about denver guys

That they all come
in their jeep with their husky,

And I think that's austin.

- He's like
an all-american guy.

- I like that
about him, I think.

Ok, who else?

- How about jessica patterson?

I think she's worth
a second look.

Tyreesa.

- She's very intelligent.
- She is.

- Very charismatic
and seems very much like

A people person.

All right, nicholas bryant.
I really liked him.

I thought he had
a certain swag about him.

- Oh, yes.

- Let's take a look at brennan.

He was so cute to me.

He's got a lot going
for him in terms of business.

- I believed how serious
he was about this.

I think he would be great
for a home visit.

- I really want
to talk about lauren.

Lauren--
- oh, I love lauren!

- Lauren really
stood out to me.

She follows her own drumbeat.

- Emily is a woman
who's independent.

I can feel it in her
that she really wants this.

- I agree.

- She had some
really good values

That make me very interested
in finding out more about her.

- Yeah.
- Good, good.

- She's a good choice.
- Ok.

All right, let's
talk about chloe.

It was the pink blazer for me.

- She has so much
sweetness in her.

It's almost like
I need to see more--

- Yeah.

- To believe that
much sweetness is real.

- It's real, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You know?

- I would love to find out
more about her life

To see whether or not she fits.

- Yeah.

- Ok, who else?

- Let's look at cameron.

First of all, I love the fact
that he's so athletic.

He's a serious biker.

- He wants kids.
He wants to be serious.

I believe
he's into this process.

- Yeah, and I think
women are gonna

Fall in love with that accent.

- Yeah.

- Ok, well, I think we have
a great group of people,

And I think it's time
for us to get ready

For these home visits.

- I am so ecstatic--

- Yeah.
- To have my first home visits.

- Everybody ready?

- Yeah.
- I think we're good.

[upbeat music]

- ♪ is it fire that burns
when I think of you? ♪

♪ it sends me

- You are gonna
have so much fun.

This is my favorite part
of matchmaking.

After we do
the individual interviews,

We go on the home visits.

And that's where we really see
the people that we're getting

Serious about, who we
think might be matchable,

But who we know will make
a great partner in marriage.

- And this is the perfect time
also to sit and talk to them.

You know, one-on-one,
you can really dig deep

To show us who they really are.

And this becomes crucial
when it comes down

To the final wire
and we have to choose

Somebody to be married.

- And here's the best part.

They don't know we're coming.

They think they're just filming
more background material

With the producers, so they
aren't expecting to see us.

So you are gonna get really
shocked looks on their face

When they answer
the knock at that door.

You got to really
take everything in.

You look at the pictures on
the wall, how they decorated,

What's in their drawers,
everything.

And you'd be surprised
that all these details,

They really tell you a lot
more about the person

And also maybe a little bit
more about what kind of spouse

They're gonna be.

- So I am ready
to knock on some doors

And look in some drawers.

- You and I are
on the same page.

- ♪ oh, live a little louder

♪ oh, laugh a little longer

♪ push your luck

♪ feel it all over,
soak it up, yeah ♪

- Hi.
- Oh, hi.

- [laughing]

- Hi!
- Hi, dr. Pia.

I'm, like,
a little bit shocked.

- I didn't surprise you, did I?

- You did, absolutely.

- So--
- I'm about to die. -

Well, let's snoop around.

- Snoop.
- Steak.

Love my steak.

Prosciutto, I eat, like,
kind of a disgusting amount.

- Well, that's all right.
- Yeah.

- Prosciutto is good.

- The headstand helper is
a really great way to learn

How to be upside down.

You want to see?

Maybe you're like, hey, splits.

- Oh, look at this.

Do you take collagen shots?

- [chuckles]

I mean, you know,
I've got to--

- No, that's great.

- Got to keep the elasticity
of the skin.

- I love it.

- And what else do
we have under here?

Just glasses.
- And a bong.

- A wh--oh.
- Just in case.

It's never even been used,
but it's there

For guests just in case.

- I wouldn't know
what to do with this.

All right, all right,
all right, let's talk.

- Ok.

- Tell me, how are you feeling
about this whole thing?

Are you ready
to do this marriage?

- I think so.

In a lot of the time
that I've been single,

I've just been building
myself to be a good partner.

- Do you have any insecurities
about this whole thing?

- I mean, yeah, of course.

- [laughs]
talk to me.

- I think one
of my biggest challenges

Has been because
I'm so independent

And because I have
my own business,

I either intimidate people,
or on the flip side,

I think they think that I'll be
a lot more avoidant than I am.

Like, just because I like
to have my alone time

And I'm independent
doesn't mean that I don't

Want to find deep connection.

- But you were engaged once.

- We were planning
on getting eloped.

- So you guys
didn't get married?

- Mm-mm.
- Why?

- I think I wasn't the person
that I wanted to be.

I was suffering from pretty
severe anxiety at the time,

And it was, like, the catapult
for me learning how to manage

My anxiety,
for me to be aware of it,

For me to be proud of it,
and not be afraid of it.

So, like, I don't think it's
anything to be ashamed of.

- I agree, absolutely not.

So then do you feel like
the pressure of this

Would, you know,
be a problem for you?

- No, I'm good.

I think if you were
to ask me six years ago,

I would just start crying
even at this thought,

But I think that everything
good has happened

Outside of my comfort zone.

And while this isn't
comfortable, it is expansive,

And that's all I've ever
wanted is to never stop

Growing and expanding
and learning

About myself and other people.

- Right, ok,
so if I were to ask you what

Do you want in a husband,
what do you feel at this point

In your life you really need?

- Someone who knows themselves,
who is emotionally intelligent

And emotionally available.

I love when a man is sensitive
or when he's empathetic.

But with that said, doesn't
take life too seriously.

So I'm playful.
I'm sarcastic.

I would love if somebody
could banter with me

And have a sense of humor.

I think someone
who's non-traditional

In some aspects
would fit best with me

Because that's who I am.

[upbeat music]

- So this is something
that I wear for my culture.

- Oh, my god.
- Yeah.

- That's so pretty.

I want to hear more.

Why don't we sit down and talk?

Well, you have a very
rich cultural background.

What kinds of cultures do you
feel most comfortable with?

- In terms of comfort
and attraction,

I definitely lean more
towards dark-complected women.

But when it comes
specifically to culture,

Something that I have dealt
with, being indigenous,

I do not want my wife
to treat me

Like a shiny little diamond.

You know, I had an
ex-girlfriend kind of be like,

Oh, he's native, oh, he's--
and that's just what I was.

- You want someone
to put you as you first?

- Yes.

I would like my wife to want
to learn about my culture.

You know, to want
to ask about the stories,

To want to ask what style
of dance is happening,

Things like that.

I would absolutely love that.

- Let's say you're up there,
and your bride

Comes down the aisle,

And that will be
the first time you see her.

- Mm-hmm.

- And for whatever reason,
she's not what you expected.

- Ok.
- How will you handle that?

- I've noticed, you know,
throughout the years,

My real
meaningful relationships

And my closest friendships,

They've all come through just--

Just mental stimulation, being
able to talk to each other,

Being able to have fun,
you know, enjoy one another's

Company out doing something.

And I feel like that alone
speaks more than just

Being attracted
to what you see.

- What is the personality
of a woman

That would make you happy?

- Extroverted personalities
tend to charm me

Because I'm extroverted myself.

I would really enjoy,
you know, my wife

And I to explore new hobbies.

I know snowboarding
isn't everybody's hobby,

But I would still enjoy her
if she came out,

Hung out in the hotel,
you know, while we

Spent the day snowboarding.

I'm really enjoying
everything about me

And everything I'm doing.

I am just lacking a partner.

That's really what
it comes down to.

You're a therapist.

- Thank you.

- So when the world
is looking at you

And they're saying, gosh,
like, why is she single,

What would you say to women
who might have those thoughts?

- I won't settle, for one.
- Yeah.

- And I don't like
to waste time

Because life is very short.

And so if someone is
not for you, leave that.

- Yeah.

- Leave that as it is,
you know what I mean?

So I don't know,
I think that's why I'm single,

Because I realize I deserve
better than I've been given.

- What are you looking for
in your spouse?

- Somebody who is
in tune with my emotions.

I'm a very emotional person.

- Mm-hmm.

- I'm very, like,
family-oriented.

That's really important
for me in a partner

Is that they value family.

I also value,
like, my alone time.

- Mm-hmm.

- I'm a very, like,
independent person,

And I want my partner to also
be fulfilled enough as it is.

They're not seeking someone to,
like, validate them.

- Make them whole.
- Make them whole, exactly.

- Yeah, ok.
- Yeah.

- That's the therapist in you.

- Yeah, exactly.

- Well, it has been a pleasure
getting to know you...

- You too.
- And meeting you.

Hopefully, I'll see you again.
- I hope so.

- Yes.
- I really hope so.

That would be amazing.

I think that's kind of healthy
because sometimes

You really don't know what
you like until you try it.

- Ok, all right, great.

Let's go out
in the living room.

- Ok, come on out.

- First of all,
this is really cozy.

- Thanks.
- This is very cool.

Tell me where you are as far

As your pride of culture goes.

- There are very little things
I love more than being black.

There are very little.

I love being black,
and it's important for me

To marry someone who
understands my identity

And my culture
because I want them

To feel that type
of pride in their culture,

In their skin.

- Absolutely.

- And so I want to make sure
that that happens

In my house, for sure.

- Is there a world
where that could happen

With someone who is not black?

[tense music]

♪

- I would be open to that
because I have a reverence

For other cultures.

I feel like if another person
of another culture

Came in and also had
that curiosity...

- Mm-mm-mm.

- I could be open to that
because then we could

Explore different
things together

And learn about each other.

- Yeah, and I don't
want you to feel as though

I'm trying
to convince you or push you

In any kind of direction.

I simply want you to be open
to every possibility of love.

- Yeah, I would be
comfortable with that.

I would be comfortable

And just enough un-comfort
that's curious.

- Yeah.

- Because that's really what

That adventurous side of me is,
it's like, it's uncomfortable,

But I'm intrigued.

- Yeah.

If we found this guy for you,
tell me what qualities would

You want him to have?

- We don't have to have
a similar sense of humor,

But if we're making
each other laugh,

That's big for me
because laughter is just--

I seek it.

If we can laugh off through
the good times and we can laugh

Off some of the bad times too,
it will just make

This process smoother,
and not just

The eight-week process, like...

- Right.
- Our marriage.

Someone who is really
attentive to me.

I feel like in the past,
I've had great partners,

But they didn't have the amount
of care for me that I needed.

And I really need
someone who is,

For lack of a better word,
like, all about me.

Like, that's my girl,
that's my wife.

And I need to know
that he has my back.

Like, if I turn around,
he's right there.

I also want him to be--this is,
like, a little bit more

Vain, but style.

You got to be well-dressed.
- Ok.

- We got to walk
into a room and turn heads.

I really like that feeling
because it makes me

More attractive to him.

Like, look at everybody
looking at you.

Oh, they're looking at us.

[laughter]

- You are
such a joy to talk to.

- Thank you.

- And I sincerely
believe that you would

Make a very, very good wife.

- And someone, like,
that will also, like,

- Ok.

I don't use this.
It was given to me as a joke.

and I would play with my cat.

And she loves it.
- So that's great.

You use toys.
I think that's wonderful.

exciting here.

- No skeletons in your closet.

- Sorry, no.

- When was
your last relationship?

- About a year ago.

I just wanted a bit of a break.

- Ok.

Committed relationships.

Right, right.

It's a resume.
- Bingo.

- Ok, great, let's go.

Let's go further.

Let's sit and talk.

How you feel
about this whole process?

- I don't think
I've ever been more ready.

- Really?
- Yes.

- Emotionally,
I've been ready

For a good few years.

I mean, I don't know, let's
say maybe three or four years.

I think I know who
I am in a relationship.

And the kind of man
that I think I've become

Is very reliable,
trustworthy almost--

Almost to a fault,
and I would say

I like to be
an important part--

- Uh-huh.

- Of my partner's life
without being

Overburdensome or clingy
or anything like that.

- In terms of attraction,
what can we do that would

Make you incredibly happy?

- I do like a slender woman.

- Slender women, ok.
- Healthy.

I enjoy going out...
- Mm-hmm.

- Mountain biking and running.

Like, you know, let's go out.
Let's go enjoy the mountains.

- Ok.
- Right?

That's the kind of fitness
that I'm interested in.

- All right, great.

I think we're making
some headway here.

- Great.

[upbeat music]

- What's that?

- My pinata costume
from Halloween.

- Let me see it.
- Yeah.

- That is the best.
- Isn't that nice?

- That is the best.
I sincerely love that.

- Yeah, isn't it fun?

- So let's sit
down here and talk.

Let's get more
on the issue at hand.

You know, the biggest one
that bedevils me

Is probably the one
that bedevils you,

Which is the fact that--

- Yeah.

- You never had anything
past a fourth date.

- Yeah, I've never had
a serious relationship

Or a boyfriend.

- So tell me why
an attractive, accomplished,

High-earning woman would
not let some romance...

- Yeah.

- And some
connection in her life.

- Like, I just think
it's kind of the way

That I've evolved as a person.

I mean, being in your mid-20s,
like, there's so much

To figure out, and I was,
like, focusing on myself,

Like, in my career.

And the few times I did put
myself out there,

It always was disappointing.

But I really would love
to share my life with someone.

And I wouldn't be doing this
if I wasn't serious about it

And if I didn't want it.

- What does he
have to look like?

- I'm definitely in to,
like, the scruff look,

But it really is
personality for me.

Like, you could be
the hottest person,

But if you're, like, sitting
there and have nothing to say

Or, like, talk about yourself
or ask no questions or, like,

You have no sense of humor,
like, I can't deal with that.

- What do you think
someone would have

To either put up with
or accept?

- Honestly, just I'm, like,
a go, go, go, go personality,

And for some people, like,
that might be too much.

I do swear a lot.

I could get better at that.

I need to be
better about money,

So, like,
someone could be like,

You are spending too much.

I'm getting better,
but that is something

I still will admit
I'm not great at.

Other than that, my true
insecurity is really this,

Is that I'm just never gonna
be in love or get married,

And that's
obviously what I want.

- Well, my worry
with matching you

Is just because you don't have
a track record of attachment.

So what makes you think--

And this is
a serious question--

Because when I think
of both members of the couple,

I want to do right
by both members in the couple

Because this is a marriage.

It is really important.

What makes you think that
you will be able to embrace

This person, if we find
someone that we think

Would be right for you,
in a serious a way

As marriage demands?

- Um...

I'm a very, like,
adaptable person.

I think it just goes down to,
like, my core strengths.

I'm really caring.
I'm really loving.

I'm very understanding.

And I am patient.

And I just don't ever
see a avenue of me

Not being able
to figure it out.

This is fully a one-time thing.

- Ok, well,
thanks so much for this.

I really do feel like
I know you better,

And I do believe that you
would put everything into it.

- I know I can do this.

I just need people
to also take a chance on me.

- ♪ it all starts
in a moment like this ♪

♪ it always comes true

- These are
your vitamins in here?

- Yeah, those
are all my vitamins.

These are ones
that I take every day.

Collagen helps with
my skin, hair, and nails.

Calcium and magnesium.

Biotin for hair.

B12, b6, 5-htp.

And then I have
more down here too.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

- You're healthy.
- Yeah.

- Well, good.
Let's go talk.

- Yeah.
- You got nice style.

- I try to have
some rhyme or reason.

So, like, that's all
tailored wear there.

- Oh, tailored wear.

Excuse me.

- Let's go talk outside.

All right.

[upbeat music]

How do you feel about all this?

- I feel excited.
- Yeah?

- I feel excited.

Yeah, I'm ready
to meet my person,

And I do believe
that the universe puts things

And experiences in front
of you to teach you,

To help you grow,
and to help you attract

The things that you deserve.

- Yeah, what are you
looking forward to?

- I wake up alone every day.

I would love to wake up with
my husband and make him coffee,

And we get to kind of have
this morning together.

Ideally, it'd be great
to be with someone that's

As, you know,
grounded as well that...

- Absolutely.
- Might not get super fiery.

But if they do, like,
my energy is grounding,

And I do believe
that if one person comes in

With a fiery energy,
if you come

In with a sweet,
grounding energy...

- Oh, it makes a difference.
- You're gonna balance it out.

I'm excited
to grow with somebody,

And to work through life
and to support each other,

And to find someone
I can deeply connect with

Because I've been missing that.

[upbeat music]

- This is pretty.

Is there a story
behind these flowers?

- Oh, yeah, those
are actually from exes.

- Ok, would you be cool
if your husband

Had gifts from their ex?

- If they were, like, panties,
I'd probably hate it.

But--
- ok.

- If it was, like,
a painting or something,

I'd be fine with that.

- All right, interesting.

- And this is my bedroom.

- So have you ever
had sex in this bed?

- Yes, I have.

- Look, so why
don't I see condoms?

- They're hiding.

- Ok.

- Ok.

So tell me a little bit about
why you're still willing to go

Further into this process.

- For me, I just think
of nothing but positives.

Having a wife, being able
to do all the fun things with,

Build new memories with,

All that just sounds
incredible to me.

So the more I think about it,
the more excited

I get and hopeful.

- What is your vision
of this woman who would

Be your wife and how that would
operate on a day-to-day basis?

- Yeah, so I definitely
have traditional values.

- Mm-hmm.

- But I would like for her
to have a career, definitely.

As long as we have a good
work-life balance where we put

Each other first
and our careers second,

That's all that matters to me.

- What are the best qualities
that you would really

Feel lucky to have in her?

- Someone who's
supportive, warm.

I feel like I need, like,
a girl that's just in between,

Like, confident and not
too overly confident,

Where it's everything's
about me and I'm always right.

- Yeah.

- For me, I'm a very,
I would say, balanced person.

Like, I'm very down to earth.

Like, I'm very
trusting and loyal.

That's also, you know, what
I'm looking for in a partner

Because I think there's
chemistry and connection.

And I think there's
the other pillars

Where it's communication,
trust, honesty, loyalty.

So that, to me,
for a successful marriage,

You need to have
all of those things.

My mindset isn't
to look at this

Like everything has
to be perfect up front.

My total understanding
is that this is gonna

Take time and be a process.

Like, I want us to be a team.

I want us to do this
together and lean

On each other for support.

And we're gonna get
through this together.

And I think that's the
only way we can, honestly.

- It is.

- ♪ we're gonna leave
no stone unturned ♪

♪ yeah, we're moving
onward and upward ♪

- Oh, nice, record player.

- Yes.
- Ok, a diffuser.

This is sexy, michael.

- I mean, I try
to create a vibe in here.

- Ok.

So tell me, why are you ready
to not be single anymore?

- As much as I
enjoy being single,

I've always viewed it as,
like, this is my process

To trying to find
and be in a relationship.

- Ok, and tell me,
what are you looking for

In your ideal wife?

Like, if you close your eyes,
you look down the aisle,

What do you see?

- I mean, I do tend to
gravitate to a little bit of,

Like, darker features.

- Ok.
- So darker, hair, darker eyes.

- Mm-hmm.
- A nice complexion.

Those are probably
the immediate things

That I would hope to see.

- Looks aside--
- mm-hmm.

- What are you looking for
on the inside of your wife?

- I think one of the things
or a couple of the things

That really
resonate with me is,

Like, a strong sense of self.

- Mm.

- So them having a high level

Of confidence in who they are,
how they see the world.

As long as they have that...
- Mm-hmm.

- You know, that
sense of confidence,

That really resonates with me,
a level of drive and ambition.

And, you know, for me,
if I was with a woman

That really wanted children...

- Mm-hmm.

- I would definitely
be open to it,

But I would hope that we were
at a place that we feel

Very fulfilled and enriched
in our relationship and that

We're at a place
that we see that

Enrichment now
coming through, like,

Raising a child together.

- Ok, yeah.

- Those are the things that,
at the core,

Right off the bat, I would hope
to have in a woman.

- Ok.

Any deal breakers for you?

- If I was with a woman
that really just wanted

To stay within a particular
bubble and kind of cultivate

A lifestyle
in that set ecosystem...

- Mm.

- That would be
very tough for me.

You know, I like to think I
have a big curiosity for life.

That informs my travel
and trying new things.

- Mm-hmm.

- So if that's just something
that doesn't interest them,

I would find that challenging.

- Fair enough.

[upbeat music]

- ♪ I've been feeling
I'm falling deeper ♪

- Wow!

- We are now
at the moment, guys.

- Yay!

- Yes, we are going
to make some matches.

I think we have
a really great group here.

- Mm-hmm.
- Yes.

- But there are gonna
be some hard choices.

- I think we've done a great
job vetting these people.

- Mm-hmm.

- And we have some
great candidates

To make some lifelong matches.

- Yeah, and being
new to the process,

I didn't realize
how extensive it is.

- Yeah.

- So I am ready to dive in
and work through these matches.

- Why don't we try
starting with cameron?

- I had a lot of fun
meeting with cameron.

He's really a nice guy.
He was very welcoming.

Whoever we choose for him,
they're really gonna like him.

I mean, he's 32 years old,
a bike shop owner.

He's an entrepreneur.
And he has that--you know,

That new zealand thing
going on.

- Ok.

- He's a serious biker,
and he's really

Dedicated to his athleticism.

He's looking for somebody who's
independent, who's strong,

But who can make
their own decisions.

He's not really
a traditionalist, necessarily.

He's looking for a real
collaborative relationship.

- Mm-hmm.
- Right.

He wants
an adventurous person...

- Right.

- Because that's a lot of his
life, being in the mountains.

- Right.

- Well, so this one's kind
of tricky because we've got

Two potential matches
for cameron.

- Right.

- We've got jessica,
and then we've also got clare.

- They both have some
really great qualities,

But we need to really look
at which qualities really

Are gonna be compatible to him.

So yeah, it's gonna be tough.

- So this one's kind of tricky
because we've got

Two potential matches
for cameron.

- Right.

- We've got jessica,
and then we've also got clare.

- They both have some
really great qualities.

- Well, let's start
with jessica.

- I visited jessica.

She is so dedicated to yoga.

When you look up yoga in the
dictionary, you see her face.

She is yoga.

- There's something
about the energy

Difference between them.

- Yeah.
- He's intense.

And she's kind of like
go with the flow.

- Right.
- And that would worry me.

- Sure.

- Her ideal man is
sort of like a thor.

- He ain't thor.
- No.

- No, he--
- he's not giving thor.

- No, he's not
giving me thor.

He would be attracted to her.

I don't know if she
would necessarily

Find him her cup of tea.

- Maybe a better
match might be clare.

- Let's talk about her.

- So I really enjoyed clare.

I think she is driven.
I think she's motivated.

She's got, like, just a great
spirit and energy about her.

I might be a little bit biased
because she's a therapist,

So I think she's
really in tune

With her emotional
intelligence.

She's very family-oriented.
- Mm.

- And fitness is really
important to her.

She wakes up like
5:00 a.M. Every day

And, like, gets her workout in
and then starts her day.

So I just really love clare.

- What kind of guy
is she looking for?

- She wants someone who's tall,
who's family-oriented...

- Ok.
- Who can be goofy.

- Ok.
- Now he matches that.

She's looking
for that equal partnership...

- Yeah.

- Not the traditional gender
roles within a marriage.

- Right, yeah.

- Well, I think clare sounds,

To me, the much better match.

Similar discipline,
similar use of the outdoors,

And a fitness regime,
intelligence.

I think matched intelligence
in this case is really good.

And I think they'll both
find each other attractive.

- They both have
the same values.

They both want
to have children.

I don't think
that either of them

Want to have
children right away.

So I think that they're
going to find compatibility.

- The question is,
are the central, core things

They need in place?

And I see these two
as being a good team...

- Yeah.

- Of respecting each
other's way of life.

So I see them together.

- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

- I think we all agree,
and I think it's official here

That we have our first match.

Am I right?
- Absolutely.

- You're right.

- Clare and cameron.

I can't wait for them
to meet each other.

I think this is gonna be great.

- One down, four to go.

- One down, four to go.
- Ok, who's next?

- I would love
to talk about lauren.

- Yay.

- I absolutely love this girl.

She just exudes such a positive
energy and zest for life,

And she has a different style,
but I love it.

- Yeah.

- She's a little settled
in the fact

That she wants someone
who can identify

With the black experience.

- Mm.
- Yes, right, right.

- She's open
to different races.

- Absolutely.

- She's open
to different people,

But I need someone
who can understand me,

Understand my culture,

And where I don't
have to explain,

You know, my experience and...

Both: Right.

- And my culture's experience.
- Mm-hmm.

- I think the other thing is,
she said she wants

Someone who can
provide her emotional safety.

- Yeah.

- That's something that's
really important for her,

Someone who has,
like, a calming spirit.

- Yeah.
- She's a lot of things.

I mean, because she
likes meditation...

- Yeah.

- And yoga, and yet,
she also likes climbing...

- Yeah.
- And adventurous sports.

And she likes to be
the bright light in the room

To make people feel good.

And I like the fact
she was very open

About her sexual history,
that she has been with women,

She's been with men.

I mean, she's very clear that
she wants to be with a man,

But she wants to be
accepted for who she is.

- Yeah.

- Good for her
for being brave and honest.

- Yeah.

- And I think that's
been a challenge of hers,

As far as finding a match.

Because of her sexuality,
it has been difficult for her

To find somebody
who is willing to accept...

- Right.
- All that she is.

- Well, and to that point,

She's a very independent
black woman.

She's not looking for
someone to take care of her.

She can hold her own.

So I think that,
one, that's important,

But we needed to find someone
who can be accepting of that.

- Yeah.

- She needs somebody
who can take all of her in,

Can accept it, understand
her culture in the right way.

And I think we all
know who that is.

- So I think we're
talking about orion here.

I mean, what's not
to love about orion?

- Let's see here. Orion.

- I feel like this may
be a magical match.

He's 26 years old.

He's a business owner.

He's easy-going
and compassionate,

Funny, competitive.

And I think
he's loyal to a fault.

He has
american indian heritage.

He's very proud
of his culture,

And he's very involved in it.

He goes to the gym.
He snowboards.

I mean, he is
a colorado guy, you know?

And he wants somebody who

Has that kind of physical
discipline as well.

He wants somebody
with a culture that understands

What it's like to be--

- Mm-hmm.
- American indian.

So black, asian, he's
open to a lot of categories

Where he feels that they
would get, you know,

What it means to be him.

- That's what I'm
hoping they can connect on,

The fact that
they have shared experiences.

- And I think
we all agree that she

Is such a special,
special person

That we really need
to make sure that we're making

The right match for her.

However, we're in denver,
and we did not find

Many viable black
male candidates for her.

- Yeah.

- And she did say, though,
that her mother,

Who's recently passed...
- Right.

- Has shared with her,
like, hey, lauren,

I want you
to think outside of the box.

- Absolutely.

- You know, you don't have to
be completely in in your race.

And I think we all agree
that we need to at least find

Her someone who is in tune
with culture, who's going to be

Understanding and appreciative
and nonjudgmental

Of the black experience.

- Yeah, and if he's
the kind of person

We think he is,
I believe it would be great.

- I think she would get who he
is and admire it and like it,

And I think he would
be very happy with her,

Her history, and her present.

- The one thing--

It may not be an issue.

But he's 26, and she's 30.

Do you feel as though he
has the kind of maturity?

Because she's ready for this.

- I think that's
a really good point.

In terms of maturity level,
is he going

To be receptive to feedback?

Even though it's
only four years' difference,

Being in your 30s
versus being in your 20s...

- It's a big deal.
- Right?

Like, really being able to,
like, receive information--

- Yeah.

- And maybe be challenged
or called out on stuff.

- Yeah.

- I do have concerns
about that with him.

- Yeah.

- I definitely
feel it is a risk.

- Yeah, that's something
I have to bring up,

Whether or not you feel
that he's ready for this kind

Of commitment.

[upbeat music]

- Even though it's
only four years' difference,

Being in your 30s
versus being in your 20s...

- It's a big deal.

- I do have concerns
about that with him.

- Yeah, yeah.

- I think it's fair
to have this concern.

You know, if it was
any other 26-year-old,

I'd kind of say, don't do it.

But he's so wise...
- Fair.

- And so well put together.
- Yeah.

- I think it's worth the risk.

And if what we think we're
getting is what we get--

- Yeah.
- They should be spectacular...

- Yeah.
- Together.

- Absolutely, I'm excited
to see these two together.

I believe there are some
serious positives there.

- I think we should say
that this is our next couple.

- I say yes.

- It's lauren and orion.

- Lauren and orion.

I'm excited about them.

- Yes, let's do it.
- Let's do it.

- What do you think?
- Ok.

- Two down.
Both: Three to go.

- Three to go
let's do it.

- I've got someone
in mind that I think

That we all really enjoyed.

And that is austin.

- Oh, absolutely.

- All right, so I did
austin's home visit.

And he is
your all-american guy.

He likes to get
his hands dirty.

He likes to build things.

He had terrariums in his house.

He said he wants to,
like, build something

For his future wife.

He's in business development.

You know,
he's successful there.

But he's also,
like, a kid at heart.

- Mm.

- He says he, you know,
is someone who's very in tune

With his emotions.

He likes to read.

He has a spiritual side to him.

He's a little bit docile.

But once he gets
to know someone

And once he gets comfortable,
then he's really just all in.

- He strikes me
as your colorado guy, you know?

- Right.

- Nature, maybe experience,
as opposed to the thing.

- I think he's
also someone who's

Aware of his limitations,
and he says, you know,

He really needs a partner
that's gonna talk a lot,

That's gonna have
a lot of structure

And be a planner and,
you know, that can

Kind of him
out of his comfort zone.

- I like that. I like that.

- He's got, like,
such a warm heart about him.

He is just so empathic,
and he's just--

Honestly, just a sweetheart.

- Well, so we all like austin.

Both: Yeah.
- Ok.

What do you think about becca?

She was one
of my favorite home visits

Because she's just
so full of life.

She's a wedding photographer.

And she is
the embodiment of energy.

She's also very adventurous.
She's caring.

She's a very sensitive person,
but she's not afraid

To speak up for what
she believes in.

She's very vocal.

She has no problem telling
you what's on her mind.

- I just love her.

You can really
get into her soul.

She's someone where it's like,
you talk to her,

And you feel like you've known
her for a very long time.

- Absolutely.
- Yeah.

- I love her for that.
I think she's awesome.

- Becca is one of a kind.

- She is.

- So let's go over why she and
austin would be a great pair.

- They're both
creatives, right?

- Yes.

- Like, he loves to,
you know, create things,

And she's
a wedding photographer.

So I can see them
really aligning in the arts.

- She wants someone
who's passionate...

- Right.

- About their work
and their life,

And then their lifestyles
would complement each other.

- They both have just
this warm energy...

- Mm-hmm, right.
- About them.

I mean, he is such
a charismatic person.

He's just like--he gives me
such gentleman vibes.

- Yeah.
- He seems like a nurturer.

- They want someone
independent,

But they also want somebody
who likes going out,

Doing things, seeing friends.

- Mm-hmm.

- In that way,
they're both adventurous too.

And I think they have qualities
that balance each other,

Right, because he's
more introverted,

But she's more extroverted.

- Right.

- And so I think she can
bring that out of him,

And he might be able
to tame her a little bit.

- I think that's important.
- Yeah.

- She's looking
for a guy, she says,

With emotional intelligence.

- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

- And austin said
to us that he believed

He was high in that category.

And he also said
he was a kid at heart,

Which is something
she also wants...

- She is such a kid.
- Someone who can play.

- Mm-hmm, yeah.
- You know?

And I think
he would appreciate that

In her and vice versa.

- I think we've got a really,
really great match

With becca and austin.

- Yeah.
- So do we make it official?

- Yes, we have
our third couple.

- Yay!
- Oh, yeah.

- Yeah.
- Oh, this is great.

- Well, we're on a roll.

We got to keep
this thing going.

- Ok.
- All right.

- Who is next?
- Let's talk about emily.

I think we have
a real gem in her.

I did her home visit,
and I was very impressed.

She's been
an account executive,

Sort of driving force,
very ambitious.

So she's gonna need a strong
guy on the other side.

- Oh, yeah.
- That's what she wants.

And that's what she needs,
I think.

She wants somebody to be

Sort of as vibrant
as she is, you know?

- Mm-hmm.
- And I feel that's fair.

She likes guys with brown hair,
a little scruff.

She'd like to know
that they have the qualities

That would make
a good dad eventually.

So I think she's a catch.

- I really do like her.

- The only real drawback
I see with her,

She's not been

In a relationship before,
but I really like everything...

- Yeah.
- She presents to us.

Both: Yeah.
- What do you think?

- She's never been
in love before.

And beyond never
being in love,

She's never been in a serious
relationship before.

- Yeah.

- So I'm wondering about that,
but she has stated,

You know, maybe I haven't
been in a relationship

Because I prioritize
work too much.

And I think it speaks
to her being disciplined,

Right, especially,
like, with her work ethic.

And I think she would bring
that same level of discipline

Into the marriage.

- Absolutely, based on what
we've said, her values,

And what she's looking for,
you know,

Brennan comes to mind.

- Yeah, he does.
- Ok, yeah.

- So what do you say
we talk about him?

- Let's do it.

- Brennan is
a new york transplant.

And he wants the good life.

- Mm-hmm.
- He's working to save.

I do believe he is serious
about getting married.

He's looking for somebody
who's attractive,

Light eyes, more traditional.

- Mm.
- So I think he likes...

- Yeah.
- To be the leader.

So that might be an
interesting thing to consider.

- I think the other thing
is that they both have

Very active social lives.

They really...
- Yes.

- You know,
have strong friend groups,

And they like to spend time
with their friends.

They like to go out
and have a good time.

They're both
very fun-spirited people.

So I think that they're gonna
have a lot of fun together.

- Yeah, and I often wonder,
though,

Why is a guy like this--
he's a software consultant.

He's handsome.

You know, he's got
a lot going for himself.

Why is he single?

- Well, he's not
a man of many words.

I don't see him
as being someone who's,

Like, totally in tune
with his emotional side.

- Yeah.
- However, she is.

So I think
that she can bring that

Out of him if he's open to it.

- These are all
reasonable fears,

But I also feel that we've
discovered and listed things

That are strong things
to argue for them...

- Absolutely.
- That their goals are aligned.

Their lifestyles are aligned.

You know,
they're both competitive.

They both are earning
a lot of money.

They both want family.

I think he really does
want a more homebody life,

And I think, ultimately,
she wants to be a mom.

I mean, there's a lot
that we've identified.

So I think it looks good.

And I think they could...
- Yeah.

- Yes.
- Definitely be a great couple.

- Can we make it official?

- Yes.
- Do we have our next couple?

- Yes, we do.

- We have a confirmed match
between emily and brennan.

This is number four
of our couples.

- Whoo!
- We have one more to do it.

And I feel that we're
going into this strong.

- [laughs]
ok.

- Ok.
- Yes, yes, I am with you.

- Ok, so next up,
we have michael.

And I--
- yes.

- I am just so
enamored by him.

I did his home visit,
and I just have

Nothing but excellent things...

- Wow.
- To say about him.

First of all,
it's the hair for me.

I know that both
of you all had concerns.

- I did. I do.

- But it speaks
to his confidence.

- Yes.
- He is eclectic.

He is sure of himself.

He's someone who's very in tune
with his emotional side.

He is someone who can really
articulate himself well.

He's a project manager,
so he's used to being

In charge and leading groups.

I think he needs a partner
who is sure of themselves,

Just as he is.

- Absolutely.
- Yes.

- That's gonna be
really important.

- One thing
that I honestly love

About him is his kindness.

- Mm-hmm.

- I think he's such
a kind, passionate,

Compassionate person.

- Well, I think
he's incredible too.

He's so articulate about
what he wants, who he is.

- Yes.

- You know,
but also understanding

And supportive of a much
broader vision, you know,

Of what life is
and who people are.

I was very impressed with him.

- I mean, he's ambitious.

- He is.
- He is outgoing.

He's athletic.
He's a boxer.

He likes to play basketball.

He's very adventurous,
so he's got--

He's not one-dimensional.
- Right.

- And I can see how, like,
the hair could give you

One-dimensional, but you
really got to get to know him

Because he's an amazing guy.

- Well, he's very successful--
- yes.

- At what he does.
- Yeah, yeah.

- And he wants someone
who has their own.

They are successful.

They're doing their own thing.
- Yeah.

- And they can do it together.
- Right.

- Exactly.

- And there's so many points
of interest in him

That make it so likely that
his wife will find something

That he is and does
that's interesting.

- Yeah.
- I mean, he's into cooking.

- Yeah.
- He's into travel.

He's into museums.

- Yeah.
- He's into fashion.

So being a renaissance man
like that...

- Yeah.
- It's a lot to offer.

- Yeah, he definitely
needs a wife that's

Going to be appreciative
of his unique flair

And standout personality.

So I propose we do a little
more digging to see

If we can find
the right match for him.

- I mean, I think we agree.

- We all really think
a lot of this guy.

- Ok then, it's settled.

We all agree michael is in,
and now we just need

To find him his wife.

- I'll drink to that.

- Yeah, yes,
drink to that, for real.

- ♪ we're out in the oceans
in our minds ♪

♪ on top of the world

- All right, so to recap,
we have clare and cameron,

Becca and austin,
emily and brennan,

Lauren and orion,

And we're committed to finding
a match for michael.

[upbeat music]

So how do we feel
about our denver couples?

We know we need to find
a match for michael,

But how are we feeling
about everyone else?

- You know, I think it's
a really good group.

I think there's
real potential here

To have lifetime marriages.

- Yeah.
- I agree.

We really put in the hard work
to find promising matches.

And I think it's
gonna pay off in love.

- [laughs]
me too.

Now comes the really fun part.

- Are you ready to go
spread the good news?

Both: I am.
Let's go.

- Ok.

- ♪ my, oh, my, something
about this thing ♪

♪ feels right, all right

♪ just to make you mine

- Clare is a motivated
and confident woman

Who won't settle for anything
less than the best.

As a therapist, she's
in tune with her emotions

And isn't quick to react.

And she wants the same
from her future husband.

Clare tends to go for goofy
guys who aren't afraid

To show
their affectionate side.

- And we think
cameron fits the bill.

He's adventurous
and imaginative,

And his subtle,
new zealand sense of humor

Will surely make
clare's heart melt.

They're on the same page
when it comes to having kids,

And they both seek maturity
and stability in a spouse.

Both clare and cameron
are looking for someone

Who can be independent
in the relationship

But also come together
when it counts

To make
an amazing partnership.

And we think that's
just what they'll do.

Beautiful.

- ♪ so watch me while I work

♪ you better watch me

- I hope you're not
gonna ask me to do that.

That is not.

- Yeah.

- Is this the place

- Yes, yes, this is,
like, my second home.

It's a lot of fun.

- So I guess one of the things
I'm here to check on is,

Like, you know, just how
important is marriage to you?

- Yeah.

- How much do you believe
in your role

In maintaining
that institution?

- I believe, in a marriage,
you put in effort and energy

Into things that matter.

And so, you have to be
willing to go the extra mile.

And I realize, like, you have
to be ok--like, each people

Need to be doing
their own growth,

Which is what I really--
that's something I value a lot

Because you can't grow
together if you're not

Growing individually as well.

And so, I am willing
to grow as a human being,

But also in a partnership
with somebody

Who wants to grow with me.

I'm willing to work
for something.

I realize it might not
just be an immediate thing.

But I think it's so amazing
to feel like you can go home

At the end of the day
and have the same person there

For the rest of your life,
and wake up in the morning,

It's that same person
that's there.

And I just--I have not
had that consistency.

And I'm a very
consistent person.

Yeah, I'm just at the point
where I'm ready for something

Serious, for something real.

The dating situation
is just not giving me that.

It's exhausting.

And I just--I'm done.
I'm literally done.

I'm like,
I can't do it anymore.

You're going to be married.

Oh, my god.

That is so crazy.

Oh, man.
So you found someone?

- Yeah, we did, we did.

- Ok, breathe.

I just can't believe
this is real.

I cannot believe this is real.

[laughs]
like, what?

In two weeks,
I'm gonna have a dress on.

I'm gonna be at my wedding.

Like, that, to me, just--

It's--I'm gonna have to sleep
on that, because I just--

I can't.

Boom!

[laughs]
oh, my gosh.

I'm so excited, but wow.
- [laughs]

What's going
through your mind right now?

- I'm just, like,
shocked, happy, excited,

And just, like, ready, ready.

- You are off the market, girl.

You're getting
married in two weeks.

- Thank god. It's time.

- [laughs]

- I honestly think this really
is the beginning

Of my love story,
one that I did not predict,

But one, I think, that,
like, I'm ready for

And, like, I
honestly only have,

Like, good thoughts
and predictions for.

Wow.
- All right, we will talk.

- Ok.
- All right, you take care.

- Thanks for that surprise.
- Absolutely.

We'll talk soon.
- Ok.

Two weeks.

To my future husband, all I'm
saying is buckle up, baby.

Things are about to get
real serious real fast,

And I really can't
wait to meet you.

I'm gonna bring
this bottle of champagne.

- The next couple
to get the big news

Is becca and austin.

Becca is a creative soul
who isn't afraid to think

Outside the box when it comes
to fulfilling her passions

And pursuing
a romantic partner.

She's looking for a husband
who's responsible and mature

But can also be playful
and lighthearted.

- Austin's a classic colorado
guy who loves the outdoors

And always stays active.

He's emotionally intelligent
and independent

But can also be
a big kid at heart.

Austin wants to find
a wife with a similar outlook

On life, taking things
seriously when you need to,

But having lots
of fun along the way.

- Becca and austin
are both extroverts.

That, and an open mindedness
to accept new ideas,

Makes rebecca
and austin a pair

We could see going
the distance.

- ♪ I'm going to make
this where you find me ♪

♪ hiding, it's not
a good time ♪

- Surprise.

- Hey!
- Hey, austin!

How are you?
- How are you?

I'm good.
How are you?

- Good to see you again.
- Yeah, you too.

- Tell me, what are we
doing in a plant shop?

- I love to have a lot
of plants in my house.

Who doesn't like to have
a little green in their house?

- A little life.
- Yeah, yeah.

- So I wanted to check in
and see, you know,

How you're feeling
about this whole process,

If you're still
feeling committed.

- Yeah, totally.
Ready for it.

- Are you sure?
- Fully committed.

- Ok, so if you are to get
married at first sight--

- Yeah.

- What might you be
doing to ensure

That this doesn't
end in divorce?

- I feel like a lot of things
have lined up in my life

To prepare me for this.

And I kind of view marriage
as, like, the two

Of you ensuring that you do
what's best for the other.

So it's like, communication
and honesty, just being open,

And you put the other person
ahead of yourself.

- Mm-hmm.
- Communication is key.

And I think
if you can have that--

- Ok.
- There shouldn't be an issue.

- Ok.

So I got to tell you, austin...

You're getting married
in two weeks!

- No way!
- Yes!

- That's awesome.
- Congratulations!

- Thank you.
- How are you feeling?

- [laughs]
um...

Like, this is real?

- This is real.
In two weeks.

- I'm excited.
I'm nervous.

I think it's still sinking in.

I think it is more just, like,
a physical sort of like,

Oh, boy.

[laughs]

That's crazy.

- It is crazy.

Ok, ok.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yes.

- Looking good.

[laughter]

- You guys always
do this [bleep].

- Well, yeah, we do.

Hi.

Good to see you.

- It's good to see you too.

- I just need a little bit
of your time to talk more.

There's just some gaps
I need to fill in.

- Ok.

- Could you excuse us
for a moment?

- Yes, of course.
- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

You know, we just like
to surprise people.

[laughs]

So obviously,
I'm here because it's

Getting very serious.

- Yeah.

- What excites you most
about this process?

What's the best part?

- I think one
of the best parts is

That I always like
to do things that are

Outside of my comfort zone.

And while a relationship
is something that's

In my comfort zone,
finding it this way

Is not in my comfort zone.

But I often find
that the best things always

Come when you push
yourself a little bit

And trust other people more
than yourself at times, so--

- Ok, all right, I do have
one other question for you.

Who would you be getting
to take your wedding pictures?

- One of my best friends
and associates.

- So that's really
important to know

Because you're
getting married...

- Yeah.
- In two weeks.

- Yeah.
- You got that?

- No.
[laughter]

- You are officially engaged.

- Stop.

Can I throw up?

- [laughs]

Oh, I actually would
like a different reaction,

If we could have that.

Just let me get out of the way.

- I still can't believe it.

Oh, my gosh.

♪

Let's [bleep] go!

Let's do it.
Let's get married.

- Hopefully,
it's just gonna be one

Great, wonderful adventure.

- [laughs]

[upbeat music]

- The final couple
is lauren and orion.

Lauren has a big heart
and a deep, spiritual soul.

She's curious
and loves to learn

And is looking
for a man who will

Appreciate her
for her mind and will make

Her feel emotionally safe.

- We think orion's strong ties
to his native american

Heritage will be a perfect
complement to lauren's need

For cultural identification.

Orion is searching
for a renaissance woman

Who can match his sense
of loyalty and compassion.

They are both confident
in themselves and their path

In life and are ready
to grow together

With the right person.

dr. Pepper!

- Hi, nice to see you again.
- Hi, how are you?

- I'm good.
It's really great to see you.

- It's nice to see you.

- So I have lots of questions.

- I might have some answers.

- I bet you do.

We're getting serious here,
so let's dive a little deeper.

- Ok.
- Let's go sit down.

So what did you pick out?

- I have this book
on botany and crystals.

I really like plants,
and I like

To see how they work together.

A book on the moon,
pretty much a lot of astrology.

- Someone told me that you're
into gems, quartz, and--

- Gems and crystals, yeah.

- And rocks and--
is that part of an interest,

Or is there something spiritual
in those things for you?

- It's both.

It's actually both.

I have a crystal
right in my pocket.

I always leave the house
with something that I need,

And it's always a crystal.

This one is--it's glossed over,
but just a amethyst.

This is what I decided
I needed for the day.

- You think something like that
would fit in a wedding dress?

- I think so.

- Do you think?
- Wait.

A wedding dress?
- Yeah.

You're gonna need
to have a pocket.

- Am I getting married,
dr. Pepper?

- In two weeks.

- Shut up.

[laughter]

Stop it.

I'm so--
oh, my gosh, I'm so hot.

I just got so hot.

[laughter]

Oh! Are you serious?

- Oh, dead serious.
- I'm gonna cry.

- [laughs]

- I just can't believe this.

- You better believe it
because you're

Getting married in two weeks.

- I'm so happy.
These are happy tears.

These are happy tears.

- [laughs]

- I'm whole-ass engaged.

I got a whole-ass husband.

I'm a whole-ass fiancée.

Look, I got a ring on it,
everything.

- Oh, there we go.
- Hey!

Look at that.
That was the perfect pop.

No spill.

I can't believe I have a match.

I have a partner.

There's someone who's
out there who's committed

To me without even knowing me.

And that's delusional.

And I'm just really excited
that there's someone

As crazy as me out there.

I think I need another drink.

I think I'm gonna
take another sip.

- Trying to figure out
how these individuals

Are gonna be matched, man.

- Yeah, because ever
since, you know,

The start of this process,
it's honestly been really

Making me think about,
you know...

- Yeah.

- The kind of
person I want next

To me as I go through that.

- What kind of person
do you want next to you?

- You know,
someone who is really just--

You know, just supportive.

You know, just some
positive reinforcement.

- Right.

- You know, I like
to speak metaphorically,

And a lot of, you know,
what I do revolves around this.

- Right.

- You know, what I think
of as a marriage is,

You know, the input
has to match the output.

- Ok.

- You know, and if that--you
know, if it's not matching up,

This isn't gonna work.

- Right.

- And it's not gonna
power anything else

You bring into the equation.

- Ok.

- And so, you know, I feel
like if you understand where

You're going, what you
want to do, and you're

Able to pay attention to--

You know, I guess speaking
in electrical terms,

You're able to pay attention to
your codes, your regulations,

The things that you
need to pay attention to

To get the job done--

- Right.

- I think we could have
a very successful marriage

If you are attentive to it.

- Right, right,
and I love that.

It's so interesting
meeting with you

And finding out more about
you and your electrical work,

You know?

And I'm gonna tell you
something real shocking...

- [laughs]

- That you're getting
married in two weeks.

- What?
- Oh, you didn't get it?

- You guys found me a match?

married in two weeks.

- Congratulations, my man.
- How amazing.

- This is real.

- Hoo.
Is it?

- Are you ok?
- I think so.

- You ok?

- I don't know how to, you
know, filter this excitement.

This might be the biggest
breath of air I've ever taken.

This is--thank you so much.
- Awesome.

- Thank you so much.
- Awesome.

Man, I love it.

We believe we've now paired

He'll be won over

There you go. Again.

Switch it back.

Put your hip in it, man.

[wheezing]

- Try and catch me
off guard up in here, man.

How are you, sir?
- What's up, partner?

It's good to see you, man.

- I'm nasty.
- I know.

- I wasn't ready
for you to arrive.

- Dude, you putting
in work, though, dude.

- I'm trying to.

- Man, I wouldn't get
in the ring with you.

We're getting
to the point when we

Get down to the final
couple dozen people.

- Sure.

- Then we need
to get more information.

- Sure.

- Why do you feel
you're still single?

- I think the thing that I
need to work on more is,

If I notice something's off
in the beginning,

Maybe I don't give
enough opportunity

To let that work itself out
or try to work through it.

- Right.

- So knowing that I'm
marrying this person,

Like, right off the bat, to me,
it's like, I can't just step

Out if something goes left.

Granted, yeah,
I don't know her.

- Right, right, right.

- But at the very least,
I'm committed to the process,

And I'm committed to getting
to know her and developing...

- Yeah.

- That foundation
to work through that stuff.

- And I'm so glad you say
that because eight weeks

Is not enough time to determine
whether or not your marriage

Has the foundation, you know--

- Sure.
- To succeed.

You have a lifetime
to figure that out.

And so when we
make these matches,

We are sincerely hoping
that people will take

Into consideration that,
hey, you know,

There's a reason
we're together.

- Yeah.

- Just for curiosity,
in the last year,

Have you ever knocked
anyone out?

- I don't--not,
like, cold knockout.

- You ever been sucker punched?

- No, not sucker punched,
thank goodness.

- I think I'm about
to sucker punch you, dude.

- Just to see?
- Yeah.

- Just to see?

- No, because you're getting
married in two weeks.

- Oh--

So--

- [laughs]

- So you're saying that,
like, this--

- I'm saying that in two weeks,
you're getting married.

- Well, that is
definitely a sucker punch.

I did not--
- yes.

- All right.
- This is it, dude.

- You set that up good.

That was--
you set that up good.

That was a good--

It is overwhelming but,
like, a good overwhelming.

I don't know how many times
I'll be told, you know,

I'm getting married.

There's not many things
in this world that rival that.

So I'm honestly just trying to
do my best to take it all in.

- Here's to
a knockout marriage,

Ok, because I'm telling you,
your bride's gonna be awesome.

- All right.

- Next week

On the "married at first
sight" kickoff special...

"married at first sight"

Five hopeful couples will

In the hopes of finding

You know, this is it.

matches have a shot

At a successful marriage...

- I think they actually
have a ton in common.

- There's something
fiery about them.

They seem perfectly matched.

- And which ones
may struggle.

- There could be something
wrong with her.

- They will be
getting divorced.

- We'll be joined
by some very special guests,

And we'll hear one
very emotional update.

- I'm sorry.
I'm such a mess.

- We have some
exclusive sneak peeks

From the upcoming season.

I'm ready for marriage?
