[narrator] Previously...

[woman 1] I've swiped left,
I've swiped right.

But it hasn't gotten me
anywhere.

[woman 2] I hesitate to reach
out to guys on dating apps.

I'm insecure that they won't
find me attractive enough.

[narrator] Three singles,

fed up with superficial
modern dating...

[man] It can lead you down
a lonely path.

[narrator] entered a life-
changing six week experience

where looks are off the table,

and the only thing that matters
is a real connection.

[woman 2] To meet someone who's
going to

fall in love with who I am
as an entire person.

[narrator] They were each
matched with

two very different suitors...

[woman 1] Sheree, and the second
person is Nemo.

[narrator] without any idea what
they looked like.

I can feel my cheeks
getting a little red.

[narrator] Each single
found their spark

and made their choice.

[woman] Sam.

[narrator] But when fantasy
met reality

on the first blind dates...

I definitely need a drink.

there was disappointment.

[Sam] If I saw her on a dating
app would I go for her?

No. No way.

[narrator] There were mixed
signals...

[woman laughs]
I think he might be into me.

[man] Was there a spark there?

I don't think so.

[narrator] and there was fire.

[woman 1] Oh, there's definitely
chemistry.

I'm excited to see him again.

Like, let's just move in
tonight.

Seriously.

[sigh]

-[producer] Okay.
-[man] Yeah.

[producer] Tell me what
are you doing today?

[dog barks repeatedly]

Shh. Dog.

[dog barks repeatedly]

No more. Daddy's on TV.

Look at this face. I can't.

[narrator] Across Australia,
it's the beginning

of The Love Triangle experience
for three more singles.

I'm about to text
the two matches.

Potentially. Oh no I definitely
am going to text them.

Then I have to pick one.

[narrator] Alan,

Tamera,

and Sulei,

have each matched with
two very different people

but they have no idea
what they look like.

Do you want me to
turn the phone on?

-[producer] Yes, please.
-[Tamera laughs]

Feel like, that's, yeah,
kind of essential.

Here we go.

[narrator] They each have
three days to

find a spark before
making a choice...

So, what do I do, just rip in?

meeting on a blind date

and moving in together
for six weeks,

all in the hopes of making
a life-changing connection.

[Alan] The dating apps
are shocking.

Like, it's a shocking set up.

It's just the same old story.

There's no substance to it
or anything deeper.

For example, I've got a little
message I got the other day

from a girl.

It's a photo of, a footy photo
of me and one of the boys.

It says, "I would rip out
my left nipple piercing

to have you choke me
with those god-gifted arms."

[Alan laughs]

Come on, now, now, now, now.

I'm Alan, I'm thirty-two,
from Melbourne.

And I'm a sparkie.

I've had my own business
for about four years now.

Obviously not.

I'm nearly thirty-three, single.

I feel like based off the way
I look, got the tattoos,

probably the way I dress,
like, you know,

got two buttons done up
on this shirt.

It's probably not a good look.

I think the perception
that people have of me is

I'm here for just like
a quick friggin' root and boot.

I think that sort of set up,
you know.

I do get
put in the Fuckboy category

before I've even said anything.

And that's just not me.

That's probably why
I'm taking a shot with this

because, you know,
it's just based off

getting to know each other
on a deeper level

and then getting to know

a bit of substance about
each other before we do meet.

I feel like that's
very important

because once they give me
the time of day,

they'll get to know that
actually, deep down, there is

a guy that is looking for

something
with a bit more substance.

[narrator] Sparky Alan has been
matched with

30-year-old airline customer
service representative Jessica

and 25 year-old lawyer, Caity.

You ready Fab?
You ready for this?

The two girls' names are here.
Got Jess and Caity.

And it's up to him
to make the first move.

I was gonna write, "Are you up?"
Or just, "You up?"

[Alan laughs]

Shall I spell it with a "U"
or "You up?"

Texting these two girls
for the first time, obviously

there's going to be an element
of seriousness

but, yeah, initially I just want
it to be like a bit of fun.

You know, lot of banter
to start off with.

So, yeah, hopefully they can
see the funny side to it.

Alright.
[texting sounds]

[outgoing text sound]

There it is.

Alright. Let this fun begin.

[Alan whistles]

The update is... Nothing.

Shall we just
wrap the show up now

and that'll be it?

Like, they're obviously
not interested.

Come on. Good boy.

Aren't ya, hey?

It was a risky text.

Maybe, they didn't
find it funny.

Does it say
if I've been left on "seen"?

Geez that can't be a good look.

Delivered, 2:05.
Yeah okay.

[incoming text sound]

Oh, here we go.

So I've got a reply
and it's from Caity.

[incoming text sound]

I think Caity's just given me
the absolute cold shoulder.

I don't know
if she got the humour to it.

[texting sounds]

[outgoing text sound]

[texting sounds]

[incoming text sound]
[Caity] My name's Caity.

I'm twenty-five years old...
[incoming text sound]

I am a lawyer and I live
in Wagga, regional NSW.

I'm a country girl through
and through.

The appeal for of country life
for me, it's all about balance.

I want to walk my dog
in the morning

and I want to
ride my horses in the afternoon

but I also want to have
an amazing career.

[incoming text sound]

I want to change the world.

[incoming text sound]
I want to help people.

[Alan] She's a country girl.

Probably going to be
a really sweet girl.

Country girls are all sweet,
they're all nice.

Like, brought up really well.

I reckon she'd be a little
sweetheart I reckon, for sure.

That's the vibe I'm getting.
[incoming text sound]

Okay so, I've got a message.

Jessica.

[incoming text sound]

[Alan laughs]
It's got the dot, dot, dot.

[incoming text sound]

I think she's
got the humour behind it.

[texting sounds]

[outgoing text sound]

[texting sounds]

[incoming text sound]

[Jessica] I would say I'm
honestly the whole package...

I'm not gonna lie

Like, I'm a hundred percent
confident,

very, very passionate.

I'm also really fiery.

And I'm not going to apologise
for that.

[incoming text sound]

[Alan reading] "I also
definitely have a fiery,

passionate,
wild side to me as well."

Um...

I don't know if she's meaning
that in like, a sexual way.

I don't know.
I'll have to ask her.

[outgoing text sound]

[alert chime]

[incoming text sound]

[incoming text sound]

[incoming text sound]

[incoming text sound]

[Alan laughs]

Jess is really
shooting her shot here.

DTF.

[producer] Who?

[Alan laughs]
Jess.

[incoming text sound]

[Alan reads] "What really turns
me on is

"when a guy
really knows what he wants"

and isn't afraid to
go for it."

[incoming text sound]

"That and when he is just as
into it as I am...

if you know what I mean."

[Alan laughs]

[Alan sighs]

Like it's, like, it's good.

Like, it is.

She's really like, just firing
on all cylinders now.

Mmm.

I actually am really intrigued
what, what this,

what Jess looks like.

[phone chimes]

[incoming text sound]

[incoming text sound]

[Alan] I feel like Caity seems
she's just totally

opposite end of the scale
to what [laughs] Jess is.

[phone chimes]

[incoming text sound]

[texting sounds]

[incoming text sound]

[incoming text sound]

If you asked me who I'd probably
go on a date with right now,

it would be Jess.

Wow.

[Tamera smacks her lips]

Did I just get lipstick on my teeth?

-[man] No, you're all good.
-The bottom one?

Okay Tamera...

I'm feeling like I have a very
dry mouth but I'm good.

Let's go.

My name's Tamera.

I'm twenty-six and I
100% think I'm a catch.

Like, I know I'm a catch.

I'm one of a kind.

Confident.

Like, I know I'm a catch
but I'm very humble,

I'm not going to go out
and say, "I'm a catch,

"I should have a boyfriend,"
or "I should have a partner."

I know it.

So, currently for work I am
a model and a content creator.

I truly believe that

I could genuinely
be on the cover of Vogue,

walking Victoria Secret,

flying internationally,
that sort of jazz,

and I think because
I'm very attractive,

I feel like it intimidates
a lot of people.

I think people think that
I get a lot of attention.

But I don't.

I don't get guys
come up to me, approach me,

message me, genuinely, ever.

So, I've been single
around five years

and I'm ready to try something
new in regards to dating.

Oh amazing. Thank you so much.
Have a great day.

Because I want love

and I have just not been
able to find it

on dating apps or online.

Here will do.

I think a man should have to put
on his best self for me,

message me, pursue me.

I want flowers every day.

I want all the things.

Like, a unicorn.

[narrator] Tamera has been
matched sight unseen

with 30-year-old
photographer Sam

and 24-year-old
tennis coach Jackson.

So the message I'm going
to send to both guys first...

It's three very basic questions
that I ask people

that I potentially want to get
to know on a deeper level.

[texting sounds]

Let's try and be like,
brief about this.

Oh, my gosh.

[texting sounds]

[texting sounds continue]

This is really good questions
to ask someone.

Okay, two hundred
and seven characters. Send.

[incoming text sounds]

[incoming text sounds]

[incoming text sounds]

[incoming text sound]

Honestly, if they don't have
an answer for these questions,

I think that's a pretty clear
indicator that, yeah,

well, do the maths, honestly.

[Tamera chuckles]

[phone chimes]

Oh my gosh,
I got a message from Sam.

[Tamera reads] "Hey Tam!

"These are some crucial
questions ha ha ha."

"My favourite colour is blue."

"It reminds me of the ocean,
blue skies,"

and being out on the boat
as a kid."

Okay, I really like that.

So, he's like sentimental,
I guess, that gives off,

which I love
'cause I think I am too.

[incoming text sound]

He's slow and steady
so he's like, dependable.

[incoming text sound]

"I love the beach and I've been
around water most of my life."

[outgoing text sound]

[Sam] Being
a bit of a daydreamer

I love being near the water.

And as a, you know, artistic
creative type person.

My passion's film
and photography.

I like to, you know,
vision like a certain aesthetic,

make it come to life.

I'm a bit of a man of mystery.

Like, I've never been to someone
to drop in to someone's like,

direct messages
or send like, a flame emoji

or whatever people do.

I'd probably rather do more
face to face

if I go on a date with somebody.

I definitely like the feeling
of kind of being swept

or taken by surprise
by certain things.

Okay we love that. That is me.

Without jumping the gun, Sam

kind of feels like
he's similar to me.

He gave great answers

to my in-depth
psychological questions.

Love these answers.

[incoming text sound]
Oh, here we go.

Jackson.

"Hi Tam! Holy... Those are
some serious questions."

That's interesting.

[incoming text sound]

[incoming text sound]

Um... okay.

[incoming text sound]

[incoming text sound]

I mean, he just seems like
a typical boy.

Like he's given something
but it's

kind of like, could dig a little
deeper to be fair.

[texting sounds]

[incoming text sound]

[Jackson] I'm twenty-four.

I'm a professional tennis coach

and all I'm praying for is a
girl that can return my serve.

[Jackson laughs]

I'm definitely a catch. Come on!
I'm tall, dark and handsome.

I have a tan 365 days
of the year,

and I think I have
a really infectious smile.

[Jackson chuckles]

I like to think
I'm very cheeky and funny.

[incoming text sound]

Any girl would be
happy to have me!

And my mamma would agree.
[Jackson laughs]

Interesting.

Jackson's answers, I just got
a bit of a, I don't know, bit of

a intuition that there's
something a bit,

bit immature going on there.

But then Sam was
pretty deep off the bat

so I was genuinely happy.

Like he gave it
a bit of thought

and insight into
who he is.

Sam has just, slow and steady is
winning the race at the moment.

Alright,
my best pickup line is this,

and it works every time.

And it's a little bit cheesy
but just trust me, it'll work.

Um, so it goes like this.

Are you... Do you know...
So, if... When a...

If a cop comes up to you
and you get in trouble

for speeding and he gives you...

Okay, so, if a cop comes up...
If it...

Okay so, you're in public,

and you're driving
and you're speeding

and he gives you a fine, you,

you're a traffic, you're a fine.

You're fine.
Do you want to have sex?

[Sulei laughs]

My name's Sulei,
I am twenty-eight,

from Brisbane,
and I'm a social worker.

I look after young people who

haven't had the best start
to life.

I really love the job that I do.

Being able to
take a young person

who hasn't had like,
the nurturing,

loving upbringing
like what I had,

and be able to let them
experience what it's like

to be loved and looked after
and cared for,

and stuff like that,

it's so rewarding,
I feel so good.

Like, it makes me
feel really good,

like I've accomplished
something.

I have been single
for about three years now.

I don't really go on many dates
and

I think dating apps don't appeal
to me because

I don't know, sometimes I can be
quite, like,

low on self-confidence.

Especially when it comes to
my looks.

And like, on social media

or on dating apps,
looks is like, everything.

I don't know, I used to have
like crooked teeth

and didn't have a beard
so a chubbier face,

didn't really like,
maintain myself well.

And I know I've fixed my teeth
and stuff

but sometimes I cover my mouth
when I'm talking or,

like, out of insecurities
and stuff so, yeah.

Sometimes I forget, like,
that I'm not that person anymore

and that I have changed and kind
of evolved into who I am today.

I probably don't put myself out
there enough

because I don't like being
rejected,

and I don't like the feeling
of rejection but yeah,

I definitely want to
settle down.

Definitely looking for someone
to build that big family with.

[narrator] Brissy boy Sulei has
been matched

with two very different women.

Lisa is a nanny from Sydney

and Lili from Melbourne
works in the music industry.

I said hey, exclamation mark.
To show that I'm excited.

Three favourite music artists,
go, and I did this emoji.

Like, the cheeky laugh one
with the hand.

[Sulei laughs]

Okay. Okay I'm just going to
send it.

I'm not gonna overthink it.
[texting sound]

[outgoing text sound]

Feel like a kid.
[Sulei laughs]

Wonder who's going to reply
first.

[phone chimes]

Lisa replied back first.

[incoming text sound]

"Ed Sheeran, Britney Spears
and probably Ariana Grande."

[Sulei laughs]

That's not good.
Bad music taste.

[texting sound]

[incoming text sound]

[incoming text sound]

I work with kids
so I'm a big children person.

Can't wait to have kids
of my own one day,

obviously with the right person.

[outgoing text sound]

My fantasy man...

[incoming text sound]
He has to be...

[incoming text sound]
Taller than me.

And a nice smile
and good personality.

He has to make me like, laugh.

I don't want like, a body
builder looking guy

who thinks he's top shit,
you know?

I want someone who's just like
a genuine like, nice guy.

Someone who's not too serious,
like 'cause I'm not too serious.

[Sulei] She seems really kind.

She's given me something that I
can be like oh yeah,

I agree with that
or, I have similar values.

[phone chimes]

Wow, Sulei hi.

"This is the best first message
you could have ever sent."

[incoming text sound]

"The Getaway Plan, Tonight Alive
and Thornhill."

What the hell?

You can never miss me
in a mosh pit.

I'm gonna always have like,
pink nails

and dress in pretty
dresses but then like,

all I want to do is like, scream
at the top of my lungs.

I'm absolutely a boss bitch.

Like I, in the space
of three months

I launched
and started two businesses

that are now my full time jobs.

I do like a career focused
woman.

[Lili] People who don't know me
might be

like, nope, she's a lot,
she's too much,

because I come on,
I can come on really strong.

But the people who know and love
me,

like my family, my friends,

that's what they love
about me.

It's a bit hectic but if you put
in like, some time

it'll be worth it.

[Sulei] Lili seems quite, like,
tell you how it is.

I reckon she'd be a bit more
spicy than Lisa.

[narrator] Sulei has spent
most of the night

texting with hardcore
band manager Lili.

-With Lili?
-Yeah.

Um...

Yeah, she has got
a little bit flirty actually.

[producer] What did she say?

We were talking about what,
the ideal date would look like.

[texting sound]

[outgoing text sound]

[texting sound]
[outgoing text sound]

[incoming text sound]

[incoming text sound]

[incoming text sound]

-[producer] What did she mean?
-Oh, you know what she means.

[producer] No, I don't.
What does she mean?

[whispering] She's talking about
sex.

[incoming text sound]

[Sulei laughs]

Oh! I don't know how to reply to
stuff like this.

Oh, my head's spinning.

I don't know, it almost feels
like sexting vibes.

I'm sweating.

Someone put the air con on.

[Sulei sighs]
[texting sound]

She's definitely
got my attention.

[outgoing text sound]

[texting sound]
[outgoing text sound]

[incoming text sound]

[Sulei] No, I did not think it
would be getting this flirty

and kinky this early

but Lili seems
quite playful and fun.

Seems like
she knows what she wants.

Starting to see a lot of really
cool things about Lili

so I'm going to go to bed
tonight happy.

[phone chimes]

[phone chimes]

[phone chimes]

[phone continues to chime with
each new alert]

[chilling music]

[birds chirp]

Twenty-two.
Twenty-two messages is a lot.

It's just a lot to take in like,
first thing in the morning.

I mean normally you'd just
unpack,

like, one thing at a time
but this is

kind of just like, one thing
after the other.

Lili is a very strong character.

Kind of makes me worried

for what my relationship
with her would look like

if I were to pursue something
like that.

If someone outside of this
experience sent me

twenty-two messages like that,

I, honestly would not reply.

Yeah.

[Sulei sighs heavily]

I'm feeling stressed.

[phone chimes]

[incoming text sound]

[Sulei] Lisa's more easy-going.

It's like a breath of fresh air
in comparison

and I think what's happening is

Lili's pushing me closer towards
Lisa.

[narrator] Sparky, Alan, is
matched with country girl Caity

and Jess...

the spicy airline
customer service agent

who captured
his attention from the...

[outgoing text sound]
very first text.

[outgoing text sound]

Can't believe I said that.

[phone chimes]

Oh, god.
[texting sound]

[outgoing text sound]

[incoming text sound]

[Alan sighs nervously]

Alright, here goes.

[phone ringing]

Oh, god.

[Jess, via phone]
Hello?

Hello?

-Hi.
-How you going?

-Good, how are you?
-Very well.

-How are you feeling?
-[Jess laughs]

Yeah I'm good, I'm good.
How are you going?

I'm actually a little bit
more nervous now.

I've actually been alright the
last couple of days but um...

-I know.
-Yeah.

I know, it's actually
so nerve-racking.

Do I sound like my texting
or am I, uh...

You definitely
do sound like your texts.

I do?
What do you reckon about mine?

I think you've just got a nice
voice. Yeah. I don't know.

-Oh, really?
-Yeah.

You do too. I like it.

Yeah...
I'm not all talk.

Mmm.
I was actually thinking that.

I was thinking, mmm,

is she just a keyboard warrior,
this chick or is she um...

[Jess laughs]
No!

Has she got a bit of game?

I have that fun, flirty side
to me too, don't worry.

-I've seen that. Yeah.
-[Jess laughs]

-But I can get deep.
-Beautiful.

Alright, well I'll let you,
I'll leave you to it

but um, have a good night.

-Have a good night.
-Cya.

-Goodnight. Bye.
-Bye.

[narrator] At the end
of day two,

Alan's chemistry with Jessica
is undeniable...

[incoming text sound]

and he's ready
to make his decision

about who he'd like to meet on a
blind date.

[texting sound]

[outgoing text sound]

[incoming text sound]

[Alan] I chose Jess over Caity
because I

feel like I had more of a spark
there from day one.

I'm pumped to see Jess
in the flesh.

See there's a, a physical spark
to

go along with her, um,
fire cracker personality

that I've met so far.

[outgoing text sound]

[incoming text sound]

Meeting anyone blind,
it is a lot but it's exciting,

it's intriguing.

[phone chimes]

[outgoing text sound]

Al?

Hi.

How you going?

-Nice to meet ya.
-Nice to meet you.

-[Jess] How are you?
-How you feeling, alright?

-I'm so nervous, how are you?
-Nervous?

Yeah I'm good. Very well.
Alright, let's go in.

-We going in?
-Yeah come for a drink.

Just here?

How are you feeling? Alright?

-I'm so nervous. How are you?
-Yeah, I'm alright.

[producer] Are you
attracted to Jess?

[Alan laughs awkwardly]

Are you happy with your decision
that you made?

Oh, we'll have to wait and see.

Way too early.
Um...

[Alan] Obviously
I'm a little bit disappointed.

She's not my normal type of girl
I'd usually go for.

And like, that physical spark,

that, like, explosive chemistry
that I was looking for

isn't there, unfortunately.

Would you say you have a type?

I've dated blondes usually
but um, I

have dated a brunette before
so, yeah.

So, you gravitate
more to blondes?

-Probably yeah.
-Yeah?

It's all good.
I used to be a blonde.

Yeah, okay.

So, am I what you thought
I was going to look like?

You're not what I thought
but you are my type.

Yeah, okay. What is your type?

-Is it like...
-Like I go for dark features.

-Yeah.
-Um, tats.

[Jessica laughs]

-Um...
-I've got a lot.

Just that fuckboy look.

[Jessica giggles]

[narrator] In Brisbane,
Sulei has found himself

drawn to Melbourne nanny Lisa's
easy-going nature.

[Sulei] From the get go Lisa's

been kind of like,
a joy to speak to.

She's been really fun
and it's all kind of,

like, coming together.

[texting sound]
[outgoing text sound]

[narrator] He wants to
ask her out

but rejection phobic Sulei is
looking for a clear green light.

Here goes nothing.

[phone ringing]

[Lisa, via phone] Hello?

Hello?

-Hey!
-Hey, how are you?

Yeah I'm good, thank you.
How are you?

I'm good.

I didn't know that,
um, like, you were gonna call.

I know. Surprise, surprise.

Surprise. You're all surprises!

Yes, look at me go.

[Lisa laughs]

Hey, um, I've got a question,

I've got a question for you
before we go any further.

Alright.

Now, obviously I've got to make
a decision soon. Um...

Yeah?

Now, obviously we've been, like,
texting,

and I just want to know
where you're at in your mind.

Would you want to be picked?

Well, obviously.

Like, we got along so well
through our texts already.

There's banter there,
there's like, chemistry there.

Some really good, you know,
conversation about,

like, how much we value
our family, friends.

Well then I was wondering
if you'd like to go on a date

to get some drinks in Sydney?

Hang on, let me
just check my diary.

Okay.

Yes, let's do it!

That's good, that's really good.
I'm so happy.

-Imagine if you said no.
-[Lisa laughs]

Oh, my god,
I should have just said no.

That would have been funny
but don't ever do that.

I'm feeling nervous now. Yeah.

I've never, ever been on
a blind date in my life.

I think I'll know if she doesn't
find me attractive

by her expression
when I see her.

I mean, if she dry retches

then I'll know for sure if she
finds me attractive or not.

Then I'll cry if she doesn't
find me attractive.

Just sit there
crying at the bar.

I think I've always kind of been
the funny guy because I couldn't

use my looks as like,

the thing that girls
would be attracted to.

Freezing my balls off.

I definitely
worry about rejection.

So I don't ever
really shoot my shot.

That wasn't her.

I definitely hope, like,

if initially Lisa
doesn't find me attractive,

that maybe after
her getting to know me

she can see like,
I am a nice guy,

and then that kind of
can win her over.

Like, fingers crossed,

But yeah, I get nervous
about that kind of stuff.

Lisa.

-Lisa?
-Hi, hi, yes.

-How are you?
-I'm excited. How are you?

-Nice to meet you.
-Oh, it's so nice to meet you.

-You're gorgeous. Stunning.
-Wow.

-How are you? Good?
-Yeah. How are you?

-Good, good.
-Were you nervous?

So nervous.
I'm still nervous now.

I'm happy that you're here now
though. I think I can like...

Yeah, don't worry.

We'll, just take a deep breath
and just chill. Just chill.

Not even nervous.

Do I look
anything like you thought?

I literally pictured
someone tall, dark hair.

That's it.

Okay well, you've got two
of them right.

Close.
[Sulei and Lisa laugh]

Yeah I did not expect
you to look like this.

-Yeah. Crazy.
-Well, now that we're here...

-Shall we go in for a drink?
-Let's go. Let's go.

I'm so thirsty.

When I first saw her walking
across the street,

I definitely, I felt like,
I felt a bit like a kid.

Like, I was like, excited.

Obviously she's beautiful.

Oh, thank you.

[Sulei] It's a cool spot.

I think I definitely
felt something.

Call it a spark maybe.

I don't know how, like,
where her head's at

with any of it but yeah,
guess we'll find out.

-Hello.
-[waiter] Hey, how are you?

-[Sulei] I'm good, how are you?
-[waiter] Very well.

Can I get you some drinks
to start?

Do you guys do cocktails?

-Is it sweet, sour?
-It is sour. It is sweet, yeah.

-You know what, let's try that.
-Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, please. Thank you.

-Thank you.
-Thanks so much.

So like, what do you
think of the mullet?

-I had to ask you.
-Yeah it suits you.

-Really?
-Yeah.

I don't know how long
I'm going to keep it for but...

To be honest

I've actually never been
with a guy with a mullet

so this would, if I do end up,
like, dating him,

this would be a first.

That's good.

I just, in my head I was like

I would hate it if I met her
and she wasn't attracted to me.

Mmm. Mmm. Yep.

I got shy.

I got shy like locking eyes
with him, I'm not gonna lie.

Like I buckled, you know.

Obviously, when we texted
I liked your personality

but being in person,
you get the vibe, right?

You get to actually see them,

see the, you know,
body language.

You get to, feel it, you know,
the whole lot, right?

I like a tall guy
and he's definitely tall.

He seemed very sweet,
very nice and yeah,

I can't wait to see to find out
more about him.

You know, now we can
take our time to, you know,

find out about each other
and like, see where it goes.

You never know
what's going to happen.

Yeah, yeah. Exactly.

You could fall in love in like,
four weeks.

-Yeah, yeah.
-You just literally never know.

[Lisa and Sulei laugh]

Like, you just don't know,
right?

Oh, here's the drinks.

Ooh, look how pretty.

-Cheers to my first blind date.
-Same.

Here's to the beginning
of the journey, hey?

Mmm.

-My very first blind date.
-Oh, my god that's so good.

Um, I got a,
I do have a question.

Okay.

That just literally popped up
in my head.

-Okay.
Are you ready?

How do I properly pronounce
your name? Is it--

How do you think? Go.

I think it's either
Sully or Solly.

Close. It's Sulei.

-Solly.
-Sulei.

-Sulei.
-Sulei, yeah.

-Sulei. Got it.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Honestly you can say whatever.
Call me whatever.

Okay.

Call me um, daddy.

[Sulei and Lisa laugh]

Like, I haven't been on a date
for so long

and go on a date with Sulei
today literally, like,

it was great, like...

-[inaudible]
-Yeah, first date.

[waiter] Would you like some
dessert or maybe later?

Oh, dessert, yeah please.

Yeah dessert, yeah, yeah,
definitely dessert.

Are we able to get them in like
containers? Takeaway containers?

-Of course.
-Yeah, yeah thanks.

I love how we looked at each
other, desserts.

Yeah.

You know, it's rare when you
go on a first nerve-racking date

like this and the last thing you
want is

awkward silence and just like
oh, my god,

okay it's not going anywhere.

But it was so natural with him.

It was sweet.
Like, I loved the date.

It was so much fun.

[Sulei laughs]

Yeah we'll figure out what, um,
what

the plan is moving forward
and then go from there.

Yeah. See you later.

[Sulei kisses Lisa
on the cheek]

Very good first date.
I'm excited.

-I know. Likewise.
-Alright.

-Okay, well, get home safe.
-I will.

-See you. Bye!
-Bye.

So good. Yeah it was such
a good date.

If this was like outside
of this experience

then I reckon 100%
I'd walk her to her car.

Probably give her
a kiss goodnight.

I don't know if I'd say
I've got high hopes

but my hopes are very high.

This actually is a vibe,
this cape and this...

I feel like part of it.

[narrator] In Sydney,

Tamera is the last single
to make her decision.

She's choosing between
Gold Coast creative Sam

and professional tennis coach
Jackson.

I have a day and a half left
to make a pretty,

pretty weighty decision,
big decision

who I will choose,
Jackson or Sam.

[phone chimes]

Got a text.

Sam started off quite strong,
I would say.

[incoming text sound]

[texting sound]
[incoming text sound]

Got four texts...

Maybe five, oh, yeah.
[incoming text sound]

We've got five texts.

Feel like with Sam we do have
a lot of common,

like, commonorities...

Don't even know if commonorities
is a word.

But the conversation with Sam is

different from the conversation
with Jackson.

It's never nice to see lots of
you talking and them not much.

Like that, if that was just
the whole conversation

that's pretty, pretty stark.

I mean,
Jackson's a tennis player,

he should know
how to hit back.

[incoming text sound]

[incoming text sound]

[Tamera] It's never
a competition in love

but this situation right now,
it kind of is a competition.

The prize is to
go on a first date with me.

[texting sound]

[Tamera] I'm just looking for
someone that just wants it

as much as I want it.

Smiley face.

[outgoing text sound]

[incoming text sound]

[outgoing text sound]

[incoming text sound]

[Tamera] I did give Sam
a few clues.

I wasn't hinting,
I was pretty blunt.

I said, "I want the flowers
on the dates."

Put that seed in there
quite obviously.

I'm definitely hoping to be
swept off my feet.

I don't just want companionship
I want like, a soulmate.

I want love.

I want the Prince Charming.

I love a bit of height.

I'm a tall girl myself
so I love a tall man,

the taller the better.

I love a great smile,
beautiful eyes.

This is torture.

[dramatic music]

I know life is not a romcom

but at end of the day, I want to
just live happily ever after.

So, hopefully Sam
is my Prince Charming

and if he's not,
I'll be disappointed.

Tam?

-Sam?
-How are you doing?

-I'm good, how are you?
-Nice to meet you.

-I'm great, how are you?
-I'm well, thank you.

Looking good.

I wasn't sure what I was
expecting Sam to be but...

to be 100% honest,

he's definitely not my type
looks-wise.

How are you feeling
about it all?

Honestly? It's a lot.
It's a lot, isn't it?

It's a lot.

I don't think if I was
on a dating app

and I saw Sam,
that I would have swiped right.

Well, I think that's enough time
downstairs. Let's head upstairs.

Alright, cool.

And I think it's pretty obvious

that Sam did not rock up
with any flowers.

[Tamera sighs]

To say I was swept off my feet
would be an absolute lie.

[waiter] Hey guys, can I take
a drinks order today?

What do we feel like?

I am vibing coffee, please.

Coffee yes, we can take coffee.
How would you like it?

Can I please get an extra hot,

large, strong,
almond flat white, please.

-Too early for beer? Um...
-No, no, we've got beer.

Tequila shot in it would be
great, if you can remember that.

I don't know, I'm so nervous
right now I was like far out.

She's a beautiful girl

and I think Tam holds herself
really well, dresses nicely.

I feel like I'm underdressed.

Um, I feel like I haven't
dressed up enough.

-[waiter] Drinks, guys.
-[Tamera] Amazing.

-Got the large.
-Thank you so much.

Strong almond flat white.

[Sam chuckles]
And here's your beer.

[Sam] But yeah, she seems like
a lovely girl

and I'm keen to get to know Tam
a lot more

and I'm sure Tam would love to
get to know me a little bit more

as well, and then that way we
can build on something

from there.

[waiter] So, this is
normal charcuterie board

and this is gluten free
and vegan.

Oh, wow. Amazing.
Thank you.

Thank you very much.

I was so shocked that
you chose me first...

Mm-hm.

'cause I thought I was doing
such a bad job at texting you.

I was like, shit,
I do have some mojo left.

I don't know,
it's kind of exciting,

it's kind of daunting,
it's kind of nerve-racking,

but with this experience I just
want to obviously

get to know you
a little bit more.

So, how do you find like,
with your modelling stuff,

do you enjoy that more than
the content stuff that you do?

[Tamera] I feel right now

like I'm wasting my time.

I've done it a couple of times
and I

just don't know
what to do with my hands.

Better on the other side
of the camera I think.

Found this huge box with all
my grandparents' old stuff.

There was just so many cool
old-school cameras in there,

just like, like Dad cams,
basically.

[Tamera] I'm going to be
so honest...

I'd give my date with Sam
a two.

I came here to fall in love
and find my unicorn,

and that is absolutely
not with Sam.

I just don't really know how
I'm, um -

gonna navigate this.

Well, goodbye.
Thank you for that.

I will see, well, I'll be moving
in with you soon, I guess.

-Yeah, see you in a few days.
-I'll see you soon.

[Tamera] Oh, Jesus.

That was definitely a mistake.

[narrator] Tamera might have

wrapped up her date with Sam
early

but the rules of The Love
Triangle experience

mean she's committed to
living with him for six weeks.

In this experience,

superficial first impressions
are never the end of the story.

What is your type?

Um, [Jess laughs]
just that fuckboy look.

[Jessica giggles]

[Alan] When Jess said, you know,

you look like
a bit of a fuckboy,

it was a bit of a, you know,

same impression I get
from any other girl.

It does make me upset because
that's not what I came here for.

Everyone does look at me 'cause
of like, I've got tattoos,

-I'm tanned...
-Yeah.

Relatively tall and think fuck,

this guy's just another guy
that's just looking to

like, just plough through as
many girls as he can but like...

-Yeah.
-It's not the case.

[Jess] I guess I'm just
used to that 'cause that's what,

honestly what Sydney boys
are like.

Like, they don't
want anything deeper.

Because I'm honest,
like, I'll be honest,

that's, like, every time a guy
talks to me,

that's all they want
so I know...

Yeah.
This is why I've lost all hope.

You can't even get to know
a girl these days

without them
sort of just like...

Like, they judge a book
by its cover straight away.

-Yeah. Like it's a good cover.
-Yeah?

-It is. I'm not gonna lie.
-Yeah.

But like, there is a lot more
to me,

and that's what people
don't understand

'cause I don't get to
that point with the girls.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's shit.

So for me, I've come into this
like feeling like

wanting to be vulnerable,

wanting to sort of
put my walls down a bit.

I don't know how raw and real
I want to be with you right now

but I will be.

So...

When I was younger I had,

I had a blood cancer
when I was growing up.

Okay.

So, I was only fifteen,
nearly sixteen.

And I suppose, I didn't,

I lost my hair for two years, I
had three years of treatment.

Yeah it was a dark time
in my life

and, yeah, I was just
a bit of a shell of myself.

I lost two years of me life,
three years of me life.

I suppose that's why I was
a bit of a late bloomer

when it comes to girls.

First date I ever went on
I was twenty-one

and fuck that's a lot,
that's late.

-No it's...
-That's late.

Yeah, but it's 'cause
you were so like--

-I was sick.
-Yeah.

I was hidden.

So, a lot of people look at me
like I'm some dickhead

or like you're this, you're
that, you're a fuckboy.

So, that's why I'm so sensitive
when these things come up

because like, mate, fuck,
you don't have any fucking clue.

I'm so sorry
that you went through that.

-Nah, it's fine. It's...
-But it says a lot.

-Yeah--
-To who you are as a person.

Yeah.

You've been through a lot.

I'm a lot stronger
than I used to be.

Like, you know, I've got
everything,

I've got my dog Fev now,
got my house.

You know like shit's good
for me like...

I honestly don't know
how you're single.

I would say that you are
a really amazing person.

Yeah.

[Alan] I'm ready for someone
that's ready

for what I want and ready for,
just about anything really.

Yeah. You're just ready.
Like you're ready to... Life.

Yeah I'm just ready
for what's to come.

Yeah.

[Alan] Physically,

she's probably not my type.

Like, physically.

But she's a very,
very beautiful person.

Like, I found myself
really drawn to her.

She was really, really sweet.

Look, I don't know where
this is gonna go but I'm down.

Definitely.

We'll see how we go.
It's only early days.

She just gave me this warmth
about her

that I was able to just really
able to open up to her,

like, to the point where I could
open up

about past things that happened
in my life.

I didn't think I was going to
get to that point

but how can you not sort of be
like, drawn to that.

-Alright, let's go. Come on.
-Okay.

[Alan] Yeah I'm actually
surprised.

Even though I maybe wasn't
feeling it physically,

I feel like maybe
something could be there.

Alright well,
it's nice to meet you.

-You too. I will--
-Bring it in.

See you when
we're moving in together.

-Get home safe, alright?
-Yep. You too.

-Alright. I'll see you later.
-Bye.

Cya, mate.

[Alan] It's early days

but even if Caity's
like Margot Robbie, for example,

I chose the right girl.

No doubt about it.

[sigh]

[narrator] Next time...

Welcome to our house, darling.

Hey!

Phase two of The Love Triangle
experience...

Welcome home.

sees our six new couples
digging deeper...

How would I know
if you're interested in me?

Are you attracted to me?

Am I? [stammers]
I don't, I don't know Nel.

and falling faster...

[man] We find each other
attractive

and the connection's building.

than they ever have before.

I'm pretty confident that

Emily and I are going to express
ourselves physically.

I don't know what we do next.

And then,
the first cocktail party...

Hi!

sees the couples meet...

-Cheers.
-for the first time.

Are you sleeping with Emily?

Uh...

And nothing...

is off the table.

Maybe she's gone in and slept
with blokes straight away

and that.

Oh, my god!

You just go bam!

I'm just gonna slut shame
my match right away.

And someone's trying to build
a love triangle...

way ahead of schedule.

What?

[woman] The person you're
meant to be connecting with

is flirting with someone else.

Like, that's shit.
