(DARK, BROODING MUSIC)

(DINGS GLASS CRISPLY)

NARRATOR: Previously...

(LAUGHTER)

He speaks Spanish.

..we witnessed nine extraordinary weddings.

ANDREA: I'm, like, giggly and happy. I feel lucky.

JAYDEN: I genuinely feel like this is something special.

(THUNDER CLAPS)

Do we have a wet-weather plan?

Really?

Where am I meant to hold on to?

Uh, level of crazy...

(BLEEP). ..is exactly what I asked for.

I'm a little bit smitten now, for sure.

Our newlyweds took off across the country...

We are off, we are off.

..and overseas to explore their romantic connections...

You're everything that I want.

Really? Yeah.

..on their honeymoons.

This morning, there was spontaneous combustion.

But for some...

Do you feel any sexual chemistry with me?

It's not there.

..uncomfortable confessions...

I've definitely had bigger sexual sparks instantly.

..caused early friction.

You're too nice.

Are you (BLEEP) kidding? Nuh.

(UNEASY MUSIC)

Tonight...

(WAITER DINGS GLASS)

Dinner is served.

It's the first dinner party of the experiment...

A bit of an elephant in the room.

..where a salacious news article...

WOMAN: Did you hear about one of the grooms?

..rocks the experiment.

What? Oh, my God.

And then, in a shocking turn of events...

What is going on here?

..which of the newlyweds will call it quits and make an early exit?

ALESSANDRA: They just left.

(HAUNTING MUSIC)

TRISTAN: Oh, here we go.

Three, two, one.

BOTH: Ahh!

(LAUGHTER)

That's, like, the best part. My stomach, yeah.

From the wineries of South Australia to the waters of the Whitsundays...

One, two, and then step, both feet.

Like, step your left foot.

Oh, so, step, like shuffle? Yeah.

So, basically step with your left foot and then bang.

Not that hard. Gentle with me.

..and all across Australia...

Hi, guys. Singer!

..and the Pacific...

All right, up we go.

..our couples are making the most of their honeymoons.

Are you riding a dolphin?

Are you talking to me or...?

Sort you out.

Jeez, how quick are you going? Race...I'm trying to race you.

Are ya? (LAUGHTER)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

You look like you belong in a Giorgio Armani commercial.

(JONATHAN LAUGHS)

Things are going good with Jonathan.

On the first day of the honeymoon, I was like,

"You're just too nice to me.

"Like, you're too nice all the time."

So, I've tried to be as direct as possible,

but it comes across as, like, bitchy and nasty and abrasive.

Oh...

So, I think now I'm trying my best to get to know him,

like, on a deeper level.

And he can get to know me on a deeper level.

In Fiji, Sara and Tim are settling in to the island lifestyle

after an up-and-down start to the experiment.

Bula.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

The couple's chemistry was undeniable on their wedding day.

Hi.

He speaks Spanish.

(LAUGHTER) Oh!

That's great.

But their honeymoon hasn't been all smooth sailing.

You need to... Um...

What? Nothing.

You don't need to do anything.

Why are you stopping yourself from saying things?

Just say it.

Okay.

No, I was gonna say you need to relax.

Oh, yeah. You don't say that.

That was a really rogue comment to make.

Now, on day three of their honeymoon,

the fiery couple have had a monumental breakthrough.

Should we get ready then? Yeah, let's get ready.

Let's do it.

Yeah, we cuddled.

Yeah, we kissed.

Um...

Finally, we finally got there in the end.

We got there.

(BOTH LAUGH)

This is so awkward.

My parents are gonna watch this.

Uh, a gentleman never tells.

I feel like it's not my place.

We did.

I can't believe it's our last day.

I know.

In the Mornington Peninsula,

Andrea and Richard are revelling in their blossoming romance.

Last day of the honeymoon and, yeah, it's pretty good.

Feelings are good.

Beautiful man.

This relationship is probably the speediest one I've had.

It's ridiculous.

Top of the world.

Oh, oh!

Wow.

My feelings, where are they sitting?

Like, ooh, ah!

(CHORTLES)

(RICHARD LAUGHS)

Yeah, they grow by the minute.

Magnetic, I would say, yeah.

You find it hard not to touch each other and hug each other.

You're foggy again.

There's a lot of affection and closeness,

and we're just drawn to each other.

I haven't felt that way for a very, very long time.

It's a great feeling.

And while Andrea and Richard can't keep their hands off each other,

the same cannot be said for Natalie and Collins in Broome.

What is this?

That's me rock collection.

(NATALIE LAUGHS)

From out there?

Yeah, I did a bit of a morning... a morning walk.

Yeah, all right. All right.

I might go put some sunscreen on.

For Natalie, the honeymoon has not been the romantic change of pace

she was hoping for.

After starting the experiment going heels over head...

(LAUGHS) Oh!

MAN: You okay?

..Natalie fell head over heels for Collins.

Oh, my goodness. Collins is...

He's really cute and very handsome.

This old thing?

But Collins was less enthusiastic.

I'm feeling a little bit like, "Oh, ooh, eh."

And there were no sparks on the wedding night...

Sleeping in the separate bedrooms was Collins' idea.

(COLLINS SIGHS)

I missed him a little bit.

I did want a few cuddles.

..nor since arriving at their honeymoon...

Whoo!

..where Collins has shown little interest in pursuing any intimacy...

Do you ever jump on the bed?

I don't personally jump on the bed.

I sleep in the bed.

..and has insisted on building the biggest pillow wall

in MAFS history.

I feel safer already.

Collins and I haven't had enough time

where I could say if he has romantic feelings for me or not.

Yeah, I just feel like we need to

explore that romantic connection more.

But, unfortunately for Natalie,

Collins's plans for the second day of their honeymoon

are far from romantic.

Yes, plan this morning is fishing.

That was the idea. Honeymoon day two.

This beautiful weather.

It's gonna be a good day.

Catch some fish.

Hey!

I walk up. "Nat, are you ready?"

You know, in my typical me. "Let's go. Honeymoon day two.

"It's time for fish."

And then, immediately, I saw she was upset.

Yeah.

So, not super jazzed about going fishing.

I know.

Not a super romantic honeymoon activity.

This is probably where executive assistant me comes into play

and something has happened, we reacted,

boom, no, we're going to find another option.

Nat wasn't feeling good and I need to rectify that situation.

So, Collins has decided to take Natalie four-wheel driving.

So, tour guide.

Go from there.

This beautiful weather.

(VULTURE SQUAWKS)

Nat is a Melbourne girl such as yourself, mate.

That's... (LAUGHS)

I want Collins to have a good time.

I wanted him to make the most of Broome.

Um, but yeah, just standing on a beach in the full sun,

that's not how I pictured spending time together on our honeymoon.

Yeah, we'll get some shade.

Mate, are you all right if you could make it to your car

and bring it here?

I'll just stand behind you. Okay. Yeah.

Perfect.

Um, I'm nervous about Sydney.

We need to work on the romantic connection and the intimacy.

This is meant to be the good part,

and there were not so good parts.

Yeah.

My feelings for Nat, I'm enjoying her company.

I believe, just because I've never been in a relationship,

it doesn't mean, "Oh, he's got a long way to go."

Not at all.

I've said I just haven't met her yet.

But...

Too early to say. Too early to say.

I don't know what I'm saying.

I'm, kind of, again, my vocab is...

What did you say? It was...?

No, not at all.

(BURPS)

Wait, I can't... Wait, what...?

No, not at all, as in, I can't see a future.

I don't know, what does that question mean? No.

Oh, my God.

Sorry, I didn't know what you meant. I was...

I have mistranslated in my head to say, "No, not at all.

"It's far too early for me to know."

Um... That chicken?

Yeah.

(CHICKEN CLUCKING)

That was a chicken.

What the hell?

(FRAUGHT MUSIC)

Yeah, exactly.

(CHICKEN CLUCKING)

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

When you said, "Do I see a future with...?"

That chicken is terrifying me.

(CHICKEN CLUCKING)

(MUSIC BUILDS OMINOUSLY)

Yeah.

(CHICKEN CLUCKS)

Coming up, it's the first dinner party of the experiment...

Where are we?

Where are we?

..where secrets will be spilled...

Have you guys seen each other naked?

So, you two.

Sexual engagement. Was that good?

..and one groom will be taken to task by the table.

In Port Stephens,

Lucinda and Timothy are winding down with a game of pool...

So, you kick us off.

..as their honeymoon draws to a close.

Wow.

Does that count?

Despite her best efforts, Lucinda was unable to strip Timothy

of his emotional armour, impeding any intimacy...

We're going to draw each other, are we?

There's no chance of me getting my gear off and somebody painting me,

I'm telling you right now.

..before the honesty box revealed some hard truths.

Do you feel any sexual chemistry with me?

Be honest.

It's...it's not a... it's not an instantaneous thing.

It's not there yet. It's not there yet.

Okay.

I feel shit for her that she got paired up with me.

I think she can do better.

Yesterday, that was a tough one.

The idea of somebody getting to know me...

..does scare me.

But she's very different than the people I've dated.

Are you excited to see me or is that just your pool stick?

That's good, I like that.

She's easy to open up to.

Nice shot.

See, it just takes me a while to warm up.

I've had to drop my walls more than I've dropped in the last five years.

(LUCINDA SIGHS)

Last night. What's been the highlight?

What's been the lowlight?

So, highlight for me was, oh, when we went to the wildlife sanctuary.

Lowlight was a little bit lunch yesterday with the box.

Right.

And, for you, what's been the highlight and the lowlight?

The highlight is you.

Your heart, your honesty, your thoughtful, your eyes, your smile.

You wear it all on your sleeve.

I cover it...everything up where, you, it's...it's there.

And that's really cool.

It's cool that you don't take any time to warm up.

You are who you are.

Thank you, sweetie. You're a cool, cool girl.

Thanks, gorgeous.

You had a call today with 40 people.

I don't think I could get 40 people to my funeral.

Oh.

Yeah.

I think he's had a big think about the revealing questions

from the experts in the box.

Yeah, it feels like he is sort of leaning toward me a bit more today.

Oh!

Winner, winner. Chicken dinner.

You won.

I did.

It's a pretty... it's a pretty bad way of winning.

Oh, thanks. Huh?

Well, congratulations.

No worries.

I hold a huge lantern of hope for Tim and I, I really do.

You know, I could...I could be really happy with that guy.

We're gonna have an awesome time, I reckon.

At least we know we're gonna have a couple of laughs.

For our newlyweds, the honeymoons have come to an end.

I think we should get up and get ready.

You're the first guy you've lived with.

What a guy to do it with, hey?

Spicy.

And now it's time to pack up and travel

to their temporary accommodation in Sydney...

Oh, no.

Can't close my bag.

..ahead of the first dinner party of the experiment.

Oh! The sun.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

In Sydney...

..the silverware is polished and the table is set

for the first dinner party of 2024.

Here, all our couples will come face to face for the first time,

and marriages will be judged by the entire group.

Are you ready?

For what?

For the dinner party!

I'm ready. What do you reckon? Huh? What do you reckon?

Before our couples move into their marital homes...

Damn, girl.

You look fine.

(LAUGHS)

..whey are preparing to put their best foot forward

in front of their fellow newlyweds.

Should practice our entrance.

My prediction is that all the girls are going to get together again,

all the guys are going to get together.

It's gonna be like, girls, guys.

"Okay, so tell us about your husband."

For some newlyweds, particularly those who have yet to forge

a strong romantic connection with their partner,

the dinner parties can prove to be quite confronting.

I do know that it is a group environment

that could potentially make me feel anxious,

but I know that Collins is there for me.

I'll rely on him more for that emotional support,

especially going through this.

I'm really excited.

It's just...it's a dinner party.

Oh! I'm gonna meet the others.

It's...

Yeah. I'm pumped.

Yeah, I'm excited.

Mate, dinner parties, this is my thing.

You know, dolled up, looking good, balls trimmed.

You're just... you're feeling ready to go.

(DISCONCERTING MUSIC)

We'll roll with it.

We got married at first sight.

Yeah. I'm excited. I'm looking forward.

Hope the food's good.

Yeah.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

But, while Natalie puts on a brave face,

a much bigger storm is brewing ahead of the first dinner party.

An online gossip column has published an explosive article

about one of this year's couples.

(MESSAGE TONE DINGS)

(KEYBOARD CLACKS, SENT MESSAGE TONE)

(MESSAGE TONES AND DINGS)

As well as revealing who has been coupled up,

the article has made the damning allegation

that the groom was in a serious relationship

just prior to entering the experiment.

It's going to be, like, an elephant in the room, right?

What's that?

So, um, I have seen some things, and I actually read about someone.

Are you worried about any of them?

No. No. I, well...

It was just, you know, he might have had a relationship

before he came in.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(SPRITZES)

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

Like, the whole Jack thing?

Yeah. What did it say again?

It said that he just broke up with his girlfriend

to come to the show or something.

Fully didn't tell her and said he was going to go work overseas.

And then she finds out he's not actually overseas.

And now she's a bit cranky.

Everyone's going to want to know about it.

You never really know whether it's true or not,

so it's always good to just get someone's opinion

and just to clarify it

because, if there's anyone that's gonna know what actually happened,

it's going to be him.

I hope that Tori and Jack are okay. Yeah.

Do you think they're going to be a good match?

Well, he's the one I told you that I was a bit...

Wary of. ..wary of.

I don't know if they're going to be a good match, that's all.

I feel like Tori and I are, like, little besties.

What is your wedding mantra?

I think mine would be just like, open mind, open heart.

Open legs.

No!

Everyone's loving Lauren.

Chaotic.

What's your limit, older?

You're not stealing my man.

No-one is safe.

(LAUGHTER)

She's not joking.

I'll (BLEEP) your dad and your brother.

All your friends, your boss, your colleagues.

She's going to be, like, trouble and I can't wait.

I really, really, really hope that Tori and Jack are going well

because Tori is the nicest person.

But, um, there's been some rumblings about Jack.

And so I'm, like, a little bit worried.

If you (BLEEP) with her...

I'm gonna bash him.

For the man at the centre of the swirling rumours,

this isn't the first time his integrity has been questioned,

as he revealed in his audition.

Every single chick, man, I'm ever with will...

Um, yeah.

On his wedding day, Jack was taken aback

by the headstrong woman he found in Tori.

Jack, I was raised by a very strong, independent woman.

As a result, I'm a bit of a control freak.

Okay.

I think, um, I think she'll challenge me a little bit,

but I definitely reckon I'll sort her out and we'll have a good time.

Jack's alpha-male confidence

was cause for concern for Tori's best friend, Leah.

What are you thinking?

Um. Honestly.

There is something about him that is, like, guarded.

But I don't know what it is.

I...literally, I can feel it.

And you won't know until it comes out.

So, I think I turned my phone on in the morning and it was blowing up.

Um, and this girl's just obviously made a deal of it.

She wants three seconds of fame.

I don't know what she's chasing.

Yeah, basically, the nuts and bolts of it

was I entered in a very casual, respectful relationship,

um, early on in the year.

It wasn't serious.

It was never long-term for me.

And it's a shame it's gone like this.

How much longer we got? I'm sweating bullets.

A couple of minutes. (BLEEP).

Just need to get a quick update. Can I have two seconds?

I'm actually about to break out into a sweat.

Oh, okay. I'm just hot.

Yeah, just two secs.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(BLEEP).

Do you think you're easy to go out with?

If something's not going how I would like it to go,

it looks like me just being a bit of a bulldog, I think.

What is a bulldog?

It's harsh, it's insensitive, it's aggressive.

Yeah, it's not nice.

All right, so what are you like with compromise?

I couldn't tell you because I don't think I've ever done it.

(JOHN LAUGHS)

She's not a part of my story, this girl.

Um, this is about me and Tori.

And people are going to question my intention.

They're going to question my character.

If I do get any questions about my integrity or my character,

you know, that's where I'm going to really, uh, stand up

and grind the gears a little bit.

I don't care if, like, people don't like me

for superficial reasons,

but, question my character, my integrity,

that's a different story.

It might get a bit heated, we'll see.

Tonight's the night all our couples come together

for their very first dinner party.

First dinner party. I'm excited to see the boys.

That's just... Blanket statement.

Keen to see, like, everyone's matches

and, like, what they're like.

That scare ya? That actually did scare me.

How's my lipstick?

Do I need to touch up?

You haven't kissed it all off.

Not yet, no.

We are the dynamic duo.

Yeah. Right.

We are...you are Beyonce and I am your single ba...

I am Jay-Z.

Okay, so I'm out there hustlin', right?

Married at First Sight is a unique social experiment,

and the dinner parties serve as a platform where our couples

engage in open discussions about their relationships,

enabling them to gather valuable insights

and receive much-needed support.

I wonder, has anyone hit the fence?

The way our couples manage this new environment will prove critical

in the success or downfall of their relationships.

As they socialise with the other couples,

inevitable comparisons will take place,

and this can sometimes shine a spotlight

on their progress or lack thereof.

Nah.

Bringing the, uh, the fire.

Dinner party one.

A little bit of heat already.

Oh, damn. Like a proper girlfriend?

I used to create a bit of drama back in the day, but...

Would you say something to him? Yeah.

Oh...

I wouldn't ask. No, no, I never ask.

Out of the ones that I know, Lauren will totally ask.

I reckon she'll be loose. Yeah.

I feel like it's so close to me.

Such a big, big personality.

Am I memorable? Make an impression.

Do I? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Um...

This one sounds spicy. I can't wait to meet Lauren.

Ask me later.

I'm the noisiest bitch in the world.

Like, I want to know everything about everyone.

Do you think I should pull old mate aside and be like,

"How are you treating my girl?"

Yeah. Jack.

Yeah, I knew who you were talking about. Um...

(GENTLE MUSIC)

So exciting. Can you believe it?

We're here again. We are.

I am so excited to see how our matches have been going

since they got married,

and to really just see them interacting

for the first time tonight.

Are you nervous? I'm so nervous.

The first dinner party, I would have to say,

is my favourite part of the entire experiment.

Of course, the grooms have met, the brides have met,

but they all come together.

And it's also very stressful

because they are essentially fronting up as a couple.

But they're also comparing themselves with everyone else.

And, for us, it's very intriguing.

We do this exhausting assessment of them, we put them together,

but now we actually see do they get along?

Here we go.

Ooh.

Jayden and Eden.

Ooh.

How is everyone?

First ones in. First ones in. How's that?

They're holding on tight to one another.

They sure are.

Okay, I got it. Good job.

Very good. Look at that, nailed it, perfect.

Thank you.

Well, they do seem very relaxed. They do.

Connected.

I'm a little bit nervous just to see everyone.

Don't be nervous. Don't be nervous.

All right, it's gonna be all good. Oh, thank you.

I want to see the boys, I want to see Tristan.

Oh, here we go.

Oh! Oh, no way!

Jayden! This is Jayden. This is my boy.

You look so handsome.

Cassandra and Tristan.

Oh, they look so happy together.

Another really strong entrance. Oh!

What would you like, honeys?

Did Tristan just call Cassandra honey?

Oh, they look cute together. They look good.

And she cannot wipe the grin off her face, I love it.

It's been a great start.

Can we just finish here? 100%.

We'll go home happy.

No, let's see the rest. Bring it.

Hi!

Sara and Tim. Sara and Tim.

I'm so hopeful for these two. Ooh.

David. Sarah.

Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

How are ya?

All smiles. Walked in together.

There's Tim adjusting her dress and helping her out.

I love that. Very nice.

Oh, here we go. Here we go.

Here we...oh!

Lucinda!

(PLAYFUL CHEERING)

Lucinda and Timothy.

Lucinda is very open to all of life has to offer,

and Tim can be quite much more reserved.

I'm hoping that she'll be able to help bring him out of that shell.

Look. Oh, my God!

All right, darling, this is us.

Oh. Lauren and Jonathan.

(PLAYFUL CHEERING)

Hi, Lauren.

Oh, my gosh. I need a (BLEEP) drink.

I'm so (BLEEP) thirsty.

Okay.

I will say hi, but I'm that (BLEEP) thirsty. Yeah.

Priorities. Champagne first.

There we go. All right.

(EXCLAMATIONS)

Richard and Andrea!

It's Andrea and Richard!

I think Andrea and Richard are totally besotted with each other.

He's hot. I know.

He's so sexy.

Perfect, perfect match. I can see the chemistry.

Like, I'm...I'm rooting for them.

Literally.

Maybe tonight I'll be rooting for them.

Who's here?

(SQUEALS OF DELIGHT)

ALESSANDRA AND MEL: Ben and Ellie!

Strong hand holding.

Hi. I'm Lauren.

Hi, how are you?

Everyone else is, like, really loved up.

It was really exciting.

(ANIMATED CHATTER)

They're all floating around, like, "I went on my honeymoon.

"Oh, I went on a (BLEEP) helicopter."

(IMITATES THEIR TALKING)

Like, they're just, like, everyone's so in love and happy.

Like, I'm (BLEEP) stoked for everyone.

Go us. We're so good at this.

It seems too good to be true.

But time will tell.

(DISQUIETING MUSIC)

All right.

Show time.

Let's have...have fun with it, yeah? I will have fun with it.

Yeah, let's just try to have fun with it.

Let's do this.

That was a cool car. Where do we go?

(COLLINS CHUCKLES)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC) Yes!

How are you going? Hey!

Let's walk in. After you.

Collins and Natalie?

Looking good so far.

They're all smiles, aren't they? Yeah.

Genuinely happy walking in.

So, hopefully, that's a reflection

of what the connection has been like.

Keep in mind, he's never been in a relationship before.

Yes, I think Natalie's experience

might be helpful in just easing him in getting used to

the kind of scenarios that he's going to be confronted with

in the experiment.

Are you looking after my girl?

Yeah. God, yeah. Yes.

(CHAMPAGNE CORK POPS)

So, nobody's come in, the wheels are off the wagon?

Well, not everyone's here yet.

(SOFT MUSIC RACES)

Oh, yes. Yes, I did...

Yes, yeah, yeah.

We'll see if they come in together. Yeah.

So, clearly, the guys here are talking about Jack.

Something's come to light that's surprising to them.

Be interesting to see how that unfolds tonight.

He had a girlfriend a month before and broke up with her

and said he was moving overseas for a job.

Right? Yeah.

I didn't take Jack as the type of guy to do that.

I thought... I thought he was solid, but.

I'll tell you something else.

No!

So he (BLEEP) shot his foot. Like...

They don't seem to believe

that Jack's here with the right intentions.

If someone is being deceptive

from the moment they enter the experiment,

it's only downhill from there.

Can you let a slight bit of air in here, please?

Yeah. Sorry.

Do you know what guys do? It's a (BLEEP) downside...

If you discredit the girl by making out that she's crazy,

but she does come out and say something,

it's like, "Well, everyone knows you're crazy."

Like, already, something's gone down.

Coming up...

It was very insignificant.

Jack goes on the attack.

I'll get into it later, but I'll just say my piece.

I'll tell 'em to (BLEEP) off.

And later,

one couple's shock exit rocks the experiment.

Let's do this. Let's do this, babe.

Yeah.

I definitely will, though.

I'm not going to not say anything.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

I want to know what's going on.

Who are we missing?

Oh, speaking of!

(PLAYFUL CHEERING)

Ooh, Tori and Jack.

Everyone step back.

Hey!

(SQUEALS GLEEFULLY)

That was a strong signal to the room, wasn't it?

How are you? You look stunning.

Oh, my God. Hello.

You looks stunning. Thank you.

Hello. Hello, Lauren.

I'm Lauren. Hey.

I could hear you out there. Could you?

Yeah, Tori's my bestie.

Tori loves you. I love her.

Hello. You look beautiful.

I'm a little bit worried about Tori.

How you doing, bro? Oh, never the poorer seeing you.

So, tonight, always gonna have my eye on him.

Always gonna look out for Tori, 100%.

And, like, maybe if we're sitting next to each other at dinner,

I can, "Hey, hey," literally blink twice.

"Do you need help?"

Uh, uh, literally.

What's the downlow? Is everyone mingling pretty good?

(SOFT CHATTER)

Obviously, the elephant in the room.

Um, basically, it's very... it was very insignificant.

I'll get into it later, but I'll just say my piece.

Um, if someone wants to question my character or my integrity,

like, I'll tell them to (BLEEP) off.

Whoa. Yeah.

Whoa.

Oh, you blame the woman and call her crazy.

We've heard that before? Did he really do that?

He just did. He did, yeah.

He just did.

I mean, look, as long as... how does Tori feel about it?

Mate, we are getting on so good.

Like, I am so happy with my match.

I think she is, too.

He's brought it up quickly and moved on.

And moved on.

So, denial. Right.

Rumours. No substance to them.

He's into Tori.

What about Natalie and Collins?

I know.

They don't really inspire me right now.

No.

They literally have not checked in on each other once

since they arrived.

Lucinda.

You know, when I interviewed Collins before entering this experiment,

he did tend to put up a mask.

Mm-hm. You know, everything was great.

When you meet him, you almost get a sense that it's a performance.

Yes.

That he's giving you a certain impression that he wants.

How you been? How's it all going? It's going well.

Yeah. Day by day. It's going well.

Just watching closely to see whether this is, you know, genuine for him.

Okay.

Where did you go for your honeymoon?

Broome.

I had a good time.

Has there been romance?

Mate, it's gone well.

There was no romance.

Oh.

(COLLINS GULPS)

Hard at the start. Yeah.

I think she's being very real now. She is.

Well, she finally has that support and people to speak with.

And, yeah, so it was really...

In its time.

If she's not feeling any chemistry with him,

she's sort of thinking, "Okay, where do we start?"

Hello, matey. How are ya? I'm Collins.

I'm Cassandra. Mwah. Pleasure.

Cassandra. Lovely to meet you. How are you?

(CHATTER WARPS)

That romantic connection that we had on that very first day,

on the wedding day, I just wanted so badly to feel again.

Romance is just so far away from how I'm feeling at the moment.

(DINGS GLASS CRISPLY)

Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is served.

Whoo! Yay!

We're missing one couple. Yeah, where's Michael?

Yeah.

Well, as this dinner party rolls along,

what these guys don't know

is that Michael won't be entering the experiment tonight.

Uh, and, you know, I've had to talk to Michael about it,

and he's crushed.

Well, that's definitely a hard blow.

But we're going to do everything we can to find Michael another match

so they can enter the experiment halfway through.

Yes. Yeah, I'm optimistic.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

We've gotta find our names.

Where are we? Where are we?

Here, here, here.

I'm more than happy with this set-up.

What? Stop it!

Stop! (LAUGHTER)

Uh, Nat and Collins, they're not here at the dinner party.

They haven't walked in.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

They may have just left.

Yeah.

Yeah.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Ooh, Nat, Collins.

Just looking for chairs now.

Natalie looks quite...

Overwhelmed, I would say, no? She does.

There's a real flatness to her. Yeah.

Yeah.

We'll watch this space.

Okay. Hey, do you want red or white?

Red, please.

Cheers, sweetie.

Oh, that's.

I think they just paired everyone so perfectly.

Yeah, I know, right? Yeah, yeah.

(CHUCKLING)

I can do the splits. He can do the splits.

He can literally do the splits.

I'll probably rip my pants, but yeah.

I'll take that. Wow.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

It looks pretty fishy, mate.

(ANIMATED CHATTER)

I wasn't feeling myself,

and at times feeling like I'm in a room full of people, but I'm alone.

I know how much he wanted to have a good time tonight,

but I just didn't feel like I wanted to be there.

I don't feel like Collins likes me, and...

Yeah.

Did he ever see anything between us?

Did you want a bread roll?

Oh, yeah.

I know, I'm in my world.

A dinner party, I'm excited.

We're having a nice meal.

Cheers. Cheers. Thank you, thank you.

What do you want to eat? I'm good, thanks.

You're not feeling well? Yeah.

Um...

COLLINS: Yeah!

I love your hair.

She seems defeated, resigned.

She does. Yes.

She does. She seems very sad.

Big dog. Yeah.

Is there apple juice?

But, meanwhile, Collins is just excited to be there.

Dinner party.

Red or white? None. I'm sticking to water.

Yeah, I said Tori. Tory.

Water it is. Yep.

This is just horrible and it just doesn't feel real and right.

I'd rather him be honest than just put this mask on.

I really wanted this to work.

I wanted this just to be my happily ever after.

I wanted to show us off to everybody.

But I need a relationship with honesty and communication.

Are you all right?

You?

Mm, no.

Yeah. She was crying before.

What is going on here, Natalie?

We're in this together, so...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC RACES, NATALIE WHIMPERS)

(NATALIE SNIFFLES AND CRIES)

(MUSIC ENDS)

Tonight was...

Green, white? We'll go the green.

Talk to me.

(COLLINS CHUCKLES)

It's our very first dinner party.

And...yeah.

I really don't know where that came from.

I was like, "What?"

Yeah, it was like, "What?

"What...?"

I could tell she was off, but whoa.

O...okay.

I would love for you to stay.

I just want to go home.

I just don't think I can push myself through this.

Wow.

It didn't even begin.

It didn't even begin.

I didn't think my MAFS journey would end.

It's over.

(CHUCKLES RUEFULLY)

I'll get their attention, right? No!

Oh, oh, you're doing the whole...

Hi. Hey.

Oh. Oh, yeah.

Hey, guys, how are ya?

As you can see, I'm not being my happy, bubbly self.

Um, being here has been a big challenge for me.

Um, I just wanted to come and say goodbye.

(MURMURS OF SHOCK)

We lost Michael and Simon early on before the weddings,

and then, uh, dinner party number one,

Collins and Natalie fall over.

I don't think we've ever lost a couple

at the first dinner party before, have we?

It just shows you the unpredictable side to all of this, really.

Oh, my God.

I'm so sorry.

Don't be sorry. Don't be sorry.

Can I give you a hug? Yeah, of course. I just...yeah.

I just... I've taken up...

I feel like...

I just want to say, before you guys come up, um...

It's tough. It's really, really tough.

But, um...

Look, we're all here for love, right?

Um. Yeah.

Yeah. Whoa!

Oh, my God.

Um... (SNIFFLES)

Collins, mate. Shut up.

Like, I don't get that.

Was he acting? Like, it was like...

He was like he was going for an Academy Award.

That's goodbye for me, too. Whoa.

All right, let's say goodbye.

If you are acting, dial it back a bit.

Like, do less, say less.

I'm sorry.

I didn't even get to say hi to you.

Poor Nat is obviously bawling her eyes out.

She's extremely upset.

But, then, you know, Collins is pretending to be upset as well

when, no, he's not.

I've seen him outside the dinner parties.

I've seen how he really feels about it,

and he's not really... he's not that upset.

I don't know where that come from.

But, you know, it's just...

Yeah, it's not right.

Good on ya. I appreciate that.

Yeah. Yeah.

(PRODUCER SIGHS)

Yeah, it's sad.

That's my...that's my MAFS.

That's it.

JAYDEN: In fact, he's probably more pissed off.

I think there's a lot of...

there's a lot of fake tears coming from Collins, as much as I love him.

It's over.

Oh, my God.

I cancelled everything.

I have to go back to work tomorrow.

Oh!

So, you two, sexual engagement. Was that good?

(WOMAN SQUEALS, GROUP CACKLES)

Even hearing them right now. Oh, my God.

Did he have a big dick and will you do it again?

(GROUP LAUGHS WILDLY)

(COLLINS GASPS)

(GROUP LAUGHING)

I can hear them talking and having a ch...

(SIGHS)

That's it.

Coming up, Jack gets grilled by the table.

A bit of an elephant in the room.

It's just all out of context.

There was talk about meeting the parents.

Which was a lie.

And, later, Tori finally has her say.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

So you guys are happy now? Doesn't get in between youse?

Myself and Jack...

Um...

(LIGHT, AIRY MUSIC)

So, do you think you're quite naughty, are you?

Oh!

He looks so sweet.

But you're just, like, this naughty little thing.

Is he?

You know, there was a couple of sad moments,

you know, with Nat and Collins leaving,

but, you know, hopefully, we can just have a good time tonight.

You know, I think it's such a marvellous lot.

Tim is a total jack in the box.

I'm like, surely you have extracted the most laughs out of me.

And then comes another one.

And you think you're done and you keep going.

Nuh, he just keeps on going.

We're gonna go to an open mic night.

(RICHARD CHORTLES)

Really?

I think the feeling is, uh, amongst a lot of the couples

that they've been matched in a really good way.

Amazing.

We've got all these adventures we want to do.

Love that.

Lucinda was even saying that the good matches even look the same.

LUCINDA: I think it's quite interesting.

Some of the facial is even a match.

Like, some of them...like, you guys are a bit of a match.

It's here. It's around here or something.

Really? Yeah.

And so are these two.

Like, Jono and Lauren a little bit.

Did you just think of that tonight or is that always...?

Oh, no, I'm feeling it.

But you always see that in people? I do a little bit.

Yeah, okay. Yeah.

She was on this whole other dimension of, you know,

physical features and somehow that that's also part of the match.

I'm like, "Yeah, right, okay."

Spirit fingers.

It's a divine orchestration is what it is.

That's one of the things I love the most about Lucinda.

She's very aligned with herself.

So, you can drop her anywhere. She's...

She's just going to be who she is.

Have you guys seen each other naked?

Obviously, they're like horny teenagers.

These guys are holding classes.

I can't get clothes on him.

He's out the window going...

(LAUGHTER)

Just like, "Hey!"

I was utterly delighted to see that Andrea

is completely fallen for her fellow, Richard.

I mean, these two just feel like

they've known each other for 6,000 years.

We've renamed Richard Dickie. Dickie.

(LAUGHTER)

That's so good.

Dickie, I love it.

I really love the heat between Richard and Andrea.

Isn't it great? It's just...it's so evident.

Oh, I love it.

You know, just stepping back and looking at that large shot of 'em.

Yeah. Happy families.

They're polite, aren't they?

Yeah, they're in polite mode. Respectful.

It was a little bit tame.

There wasn't, you know, there was no scandals,

no throwing bottles or glasses or anything like that.

So it was very tame, a little bit boring.

So, we had our wedding day.

The next day was her birthday, her 30th.

Wow!

Some of the couples were playing it safe tonight.

She said, "I think this could be a good cock ring for you."

(LAUGHTER)

There's definitely more than meets the eye with authenticity

that was there tonight.

You know, it might seem all fun and games

and everyone's happy, but, yeah,

that's not a reflection

of what their relationships are really like.

How are you going with your trainer, mate?

Did you get to train on your honeymoon?

No. Oh, bro, I got the best story.

Oh, here we go.

Put (BLEEP) five kilos on in five days in Vanuatu.

But I was eating, like, um, breakfast in bed,

breakfast burritos, hash browns, banana bread,

and I was just going for it.

So, I was off the diet...

A lot of people were holding back,

and a lot of people were probably insecure about, you know,

the negative starts of their relationships

and they just, sort of, they were hiding that.

My face was like...

I've lost all of it now.

Yeah, I just thought you'd find that fascinating, eh?

I was a little bit bored, no-one wanted to say anything,

and everyone wanted to know about it, so I thought, you know,

let's just address the whole room and put the pressure on him.

Yeah. All right, guys.

All right, guys!

Bit of a...bit of an elephant in the room that most people

have asked me about or said something to me about.

Oh, here we go, here we go.

So, Jayden's going to come hard with the questions on Jack.

Find out what these rumours are all about.

Man bun versus man bun.

So, we're going to clear it up before it goes any further.

Otherwise it's going to go around all night.

I'm not normally one to, like, pry into other people's relationships,

to be honest.

But apparently he was in a relationship before this

and he told her that he was going overseas

instead of participating in this experiment.

It would be a little bit of a, like, alarm bells going off if someone,

like, broke up with their girlfriend just to go on a TV show.

I'm just such a nosy bitch.

And so, like, this situation to me is like (BLEEP) heroin.

Like, I love it, like, not saying I love heroin.

That's a bad move. But you know what I mean? Like...

Tell everyone. I'd love to get to the bottom of it.

Obviously, everyone knows about the article that came out about Jack.

(TENSE MUSIC)

And everyone has already asked me about it,

so let's just clear it up right now.

We were all thinking it.

I saw it, I saw it online.

I was just, like, curious.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

Spotlight's on Jack now.

If someone wants to get a bit yappy with me, it'll piss me off.

Um...but I'll hold myself.

I'll stand up for myself, and they'll know about it.

All right, guys.

All right, guys!

Bit of a... bit of an elephant in the room.

There's got to be more goss than I had an ex.

Come on.

34 years old.

It's, uh...

Yeah, there's got to be something more going on that I had an ex

that's pissed off that I'm on the show.

So, we're going to clear it up before it goes any further.

Otherwise it's going to go around all night.

Obviously, everyone knows about the article that came out about Jack.

And everyone has already asked me about it,

so let's just clear it up right now.

Who's Jack?

Sorry, Jack. Of course. Sorry, honey.

Haven't you seen the article? No.

Okay, let's start with that. Let's start with that.

I'm not...I'm not nervous.

Like, um, if someone wants to get a bit yappy with me,

if they question my character or my integrity, it'll piss me off.

Um...but I'll hold myself.

I'll stand up for myself, and they'll know about it.

Yeah. No, let's clear it up.

Otherwise, I feel like I'm gonna

spot-fire this conversation all night.

Yeah.

I mean, he's come in and there've been rumours swirling around him.

Does he have a girlfriend on the outside?

What's going to be very key is how he answers the questions.

Um...

I've got a disgruntled ex, basically.

She was just pissed off that you'd gone on the show?

Like, you had broken up to go on the show.

It sounded... Go for it.

There was talk about moving in together.

There was, like, meeting the parents, things like that.

So, she felt like it was more serious than it was.

The article said that Jack had a job in America for three months,

and you had told her that, which was a...

Oh, yeah! ..which was a lie.

They were so weak.

You know, I've done nothing wrong.

I'm going to take a lot away from tonight because I'm going to,

you know, see how people want to approach me and how...

if they've got the respect to ask me my side.

It's just all out of context.

Um, it was a very, like, casual but yet exclusive relationship,

but very casual.

Um...

She fell a little bit harder for me a little bit quicker.

So, without, like, she's throwing me under the bus, ultimately,

and I'm still not going to go there.

Like, I've got everything on this girl I would need to have,

but I would never do it.

She's had a pretty colourful past.

Um...

She didn't...

You know, if she wants to question my integrity and my character,

different story.

There's...there's a little truth to everything she did say,

and I could go into detail about all of it.

I don't know Jack well enough

to know if his heart's in the right place,

but I have uncertainties about that.

We were compatible, gym.

We went for walks, that kind of thing.

And, yeah, it got physical.

And, you know, I would...I would deem it a relationship but casual.

And then we were basically arguing on a weekly,

and she was questioning my commitment in the relationship.

Like, the writing was on the wall.

So, the article's come out.

I'm not surprised.

It's disappointing because this is about me and Tori,

and I just feel for Tori.

Like, let's wrap up this really long-winded story

and let's get to the point.

I tried to end it.

This was about seven weeks ago.

Six, seven weeks ago.

It's not...like, you know,

I didn't even know I'd be here seven weeks ago.

So, eight weeks ago, I tried to... tried to end it.

Wait a minute.

He tried to end it seven weeks ago.

He was well into the experiment, looking into the experiment process.

Yeah, we're going to need to talk to him about that.

I tried to end it.

This girl blew my phone up.

Basically, the next week, she rocked up at my workplace.

Right? Dealt with it.

Week following, rocked up at my workplace.

It was like,

"Let me make my ex look as crazy as possible

"so that, whatever comes to light, I've discredited her first,

"so, whatever comes to light,

"I've essentially created, like, this guard around myself

"so that she's crazy and I'm right."

So, I told her I had business to do.

I did say, "Look, I'm going to America for a month."

Yeah. Shut the door.

Went really well.

I think it's nipped in the butt.

We've already spoken about it plenty enough,

and, uh, yeah, I hope that girl got her two seconds.

And that's, you know, that's as nitty-gritty

as I want to go with it.

Um... Do I look good? Like...

It was never going to be a forever thing for me.

I feel like I'm going to have a bee in my bonnet over this situation

if he continues to, like, just (BLEEP) be full of shit.

It's so see-through.

You're here now.

This is the situation.

And, like, that needs to stop.

Yeah. And again...and again...

This needs to be the focus.

Lauren is a character.

She's loud, let's go obnoxious.

She's full-on, like, there is no calm,

there's no chill, there's no reserve.

That really (BLEEP) annoys me.

What's that? No.

Huh?

I will back Tori 100% if she wants me to, like, take some of Jayden's,

like, (BLEEP) mu-toy moves and just, like, chop him in the trachea.

So, you guys are happy now, it doesn't get in between youse?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Are you...?

Are you...? Obviously...

Are you ok...? Are you...?

Oi, blink twice if you're okay.

Myself and Jack.

Um...

It was more like...

Has it been solved?

Yeah.

Look at Tori.

She doesn't look comfortable.

All right.

Shh!

So, you guys are happy now? It doesn't get in between youse?

(TENSE MUSIC)

Um...

Myself and Jack...

I think under her skin, especially,

is the opinions of everybody else on the table with the situation.

I think that's what's making her super uncomfortable.

Mm.

Tori, are you happy?

Shh!

I'm absolutely happy.

Absolutely happy.

I don't trust easily, but I think...

..at some point,

there is an element of trusting.

And I want her to feel comfortable. Yeah.

It's fine, honestly.

Does not need to be a conversation moving forward.

Wow.

That surprised me. Yeah.

Regardless, it's going to be very hard for Tori

just to feel like, "I know who this guy is.

"I can trust him.

"He's come in wanting the right things."

(SINISTER MUSIC)

I'm getting an odd vibe from Tori.

That was easy. Thank you.

If she's acting the way she's acting,

my gut is telling me that maybe he led her to believe something

than what he's leading us to believe.

Yeah. Absolutely happy. Cheers to that.

Cheers to that.

I don't want to engage in that.

I don't need to engage in that.

I know what I'm doing and I stand by that.

Call me crazy.

Respectfully, I don't care.

(ANIMATED CHATTER)

I don't care what he was doing before he came in here

because it is a non-issue.

It will not be a talking point past tonight,

and, to be honest, it's no-one else's business.

Anyway, that pissed me off.

Can I just...can I just go on? I didn't get it out before.

When I...you know, under the bus a little bit, obviously, tonight.

But Tori didn't give me shit.

She supported me, held my hand and said, "I got you."

And, yeah, testament to her, she had my back from the get-go.

The emotional intelligence for this girl,

um, very attractive.

Thank you very much. Oh...

Oh! Cheers.

Cheers for that.

Yeah.

Cheers, bro.

I think they're (BLEEP) full of shit. Sorry.

I really hope he's not.

But my gut feeling is telling me that he is.

I hope not.

100%.

I call it from a mile away.

Like, you can break up with someone a day before and move on.

That's your prerogative.

I just genuinely feel like there's something more to the story.

I got my one good eye and my lazy...one lazy eye.

It's like, it's kind of over here, but, like,

I'll kind of, like, look this way and I'll be like...

Tomorrow night...

Oh!

I want to be sick.

Um...

Why are they still on here?

Clearly, something on there I didn't want you to see.

Don't like it.

At all.

It's confessions week...

..where, over two massive nights,

our newlyweds expose some dark truths.

This has affected my life for the last 30 years.

I'm going to put you...

It literally hurts a lot and I don't know how to come back from that.

Before...

Um...

..the biggest confession...

I'm just in shock.

..rocks...

What?

..the entire experiment.

Wait, he told you that?
