Previously...

Hi!

..nine couples met at the aisle... You look stunning.

Experts have rocked it!

And at the first dinner party of the experiment...

Everyone's so in love and happy.

..love was in the air.

I think they just paired everyone so perfectly.

Until it wasn't.

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

They haven't walked in.

Not feeling the love from Collins...

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

I'm in a room full of people, but I'm alone.

..Natalie called it quits.

I just want to go home.

Oh my god!

Leaving Collins to give an unforgettable farewell speech.

That's goodbye for me, too. Whoa.

That was all fake. There were no tears there.

But all eyes were on Jack.

I've done nothing wrong.

It's just all out of context.

Following a leaked news article...

I've got a disgruntled ex.

..claiming he had a girlfriend on the outside

just days before he married Tori.

Um... It's fine.

I think (BLEEP) full of shit.

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

Tonight...

Oh!

I want to be sick.

Um...

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

Don't like it.

At all.

..it's Confessions Week.

Where over two big nights...

our newlyweds expose some uncomfortable truths.

This is affected my life for the last 30 years.

I'm going to put you...

It literally hurt a lot.

And I don't know how to come back from that.

Before...

Um... ..the most astonishing confession...

I'm just in shock.

..rocks...

What!

..the entire experiment.

Wait, he told you that?

Our newlyweds are being fast tracked into

the next phase of the experiment.

Moving into the first home they will share together

as husband and wife.

Here we go.

You go first.

Such a gentleman.

And for the first time in four years,

our couples will live in a brand new building.

Skye suite. Wow.

In you go, honey.

With the hope this relaxed and luxurious setting

will make them feel at home sooner.

Oh my god, they've got names on them.

This is iconic.

Lauren and Jonathan.

There'll be plenty of shenanigans going on in there.

Don't work.

All right.

802 we're at, my bed.

(HUMS BRIDAL CHORUS)

Going this way, we'll go this way. Oh, my god.

Ooh, this is exciting!

Oh! Stop it!

Oh!

For the next eight weeks of the Married at First Sight experiment...

Oh. Looks good.

..these apartments will be home for our nine newlywed couples.

Wow. This is beautiful.

I can't believe there's two bathrooms.

Thrilled.

What scares you about relationships?

The shitter. Like, we've got to share a toilet.

Your biggest worry about entering Married At First Sight is...

The shitter.

I'm taking that bathroom.

I got dibs on that.

The little one? Yeah.

Oh. That's great.

Thanks for being really generous

and giving me the one with the bath.

You're such a honey.

You're a good man.

You know how much I love baths.

Do you think you'll join me for a bath

at some point in there? Most probably not.

Oh.

(BOTH EXCLAIM)

Oh, my god, our wedding photo.

Oh, that's really cute.

Exciting!

I love this!

Look at that view.

Oh, wow.

It's actually really impressive.

Is that (BLEEP) KFC?

Oh my god. Oh, nah!

I honestly, I could go a bucket of fried chicken.

This stage of the experiment is about accelerating

our couples' relationships.

OK, so when you get out of bed,

do you make the bed straight away or do you...

What do you do? Look, I can't lie.

You don't make the bed, do you?

I struggle to make the bed.

This can be daunting for some, who may be forced

to compromise with their partners

as they begin to set boundaries within their new space together.

My TV's mounted in the bedroom.

I was actually going to get one off either wall.

I don't like the idea of televisions in bedrooms.

Really? No.

How else do you watch porn?

Do you watch porn?

Oh, no. I'm stuck on the porn now.

Most importantly, this time allows our couples

to create a space for growth in their relationship...

Look!

..and ultimately develop a new found bond

as they begin marital life in their new home.

Can't wait to see you in that, Paul.

Just like the water glistening off you.

Yeah, it's gonna be amazing.

I'll be sitting here watching you with a bucket of fried chicken.

OK.

For Eden and Jayden, moving in is a chance

for their initial bond to deepen even further.

Oh, my god, I love that photo.

Yeah, that's real cool. I love it.

That was a very awkward photo shoot though, wasn't it.

Yeah. I couldn't look at you and I couldn't hold your hands.

Complete stranger. We didn't know what we were doing.

Eden. Jayden.

Lovely to meet you. You look amazing.

Thank you. You too.

My grin says it all, doesn't it?

I genuinely feel like this is something special.

She's hopefully the one.

Your two favourite things, me and a KitKat.

I know. At once.

I'm super pumped and super excited to be moving in with Eden.

I've never lived with a partner either, so I'm excited.

You know, we can start our life together

and I can really see a future with Eden.

There's no friction.

There's no "Oh, I've been with you all day. I'm sick of you."

It's not like that.

Apart from the first couple hours of the wedding,

when I was unsure whether she liked me or not.

But after we got out of that and we were out of, you know,

the pressure environment, it was like I couldn't get her off me.

And it's like, we've been like that for the last week.

Oh, very cute. Can I have some snuggles?

While some couples continue to unpack...

Probably over-packed.

It looks good though, I like it.

Thank you.

..Lauren and Jonathan are unloading last night's

dinner party and the stories

involving Jack's relationship status

before he entered the experiment.

Basically, there was an article two days ago.

I've got a disgruntled ex, basically.

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

I'm not surprised.

It's disappointing because this is about

me and Tori and I just feel for Tori.

It was just bizarre. You know when you're lying...

you tell too much detail. So all he needed to say was,

"Yeah, I was dating this chick a month ago.

Broke up a month ago."

That's it. "She's obviously scorned."

That's the end of it.

But he was trying to cover his tracks too much.

I didn't believe a word that he said.

I'm glad I addressed the elephant in the room.

I think because you addressed it so early on...

Yeah.

And you were so direct with it, people were like, yeah, OK.

There's like, nothing more to it.

Yeah. Which is what you want.

Less oxygen this conversation gets...

Yeah.

..the happier I am.

What concerned me was how Tori was like,

"Yeah, we've covered it. Like, we're good.

We're on the same page."

And he was going...

"Just wouldn't have been able to do it without

this girl here."

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, very attractive.

Thank you very much.

"I can't do without you." It's like, do what without you?

Pull off this weird, bizarre (BLEEP) backstory.

And that other bloody thing

quacking on the other side of the table.

Lauren? Couldn't be married to Lauren.

She's like, too much for me.

Like, too loud, too big.

Oh, I feel for that poor bugger.

She's a lot. She is a lot.

F-bombs all over the place.

This is where I hate being in a group of girls because

they're going to be like, "What a (BLEEP)wit.

"Was he together when they were in the process of applying?"

It's a non-issue. It will not be a talking point.

I don't want to (BLEEP) hear about it.

But I think the first dinner party was pretty good.

We did pretty well. It was good.

It was good. Yeah.

Hand in hand with you when we walked in.

Hand in hand when we walked home.

Like, power couple, back each other, and there was no issue.

Jack and I are so fine.

We are... We are like the power couple.

I need to stop saying the superior couple, 'cause it's (BLEEP) rude,

but we are definitely, like, at the top.

Yeah. Number one.

I mean, the others might become number one too,

but for now, it's us.

Now that they have settled into their marital home,

the next challenging phase of the experiment is about to begin.

Oh, no. We got a letter.

What is that?

Eden and Jayden.

"It's confession week." Yay! Great.

Confessions week.

What does that mean?

We're gonna find out.

Confessions week is a crucial part

of the experiment.

We want to develop levels of emotional connection

between our couples,

which would normally take months or even years

to create in the outside world.

Throughout the week, the couples will face a series of tasks

that will challenge them to be honest with one another.

In past years of the experiment,

we've seen some very raw and confronting revelations.

My confession to you

is that I've never been in a healthy relationship.

But it was the last relationship that did all the damage.

I was kept a secret for two entire years.

I never met any of my ex's friends or family.

Is there anything else you feel like you need to say,

or you need to get off your chest?

Or like...

They may find these tasks confronting.

But each one is carefully designed to help them

open up to each other and grow as a couple.

What have you got to confess that you've never told anyone?

The first couple to tackle a Confessions Week task is loved up,

Eden and Jayden.

The experts have asked them to write a letter

revealing a deep truth from their past.

The letter writing task is a test of our couple's

ability to be open with their communication.

It not only assesses their capacity to open up

and to be vulnerable about difficult and personal topics,

it also examines how well they listen and their capacity

to empathise with what their partner is telling them.

Jayden and I are pretty open.

We have no problems doing things like this task.

He does know a fair bit about me already,

because we kind of got pretty deep on the honeymoon.

My ex-partner cheated on me with my lifelong best friend.

Oh, shit.

It definitely has affected how I approach new people.

I'm going to do everything I can to give you

the reassurance and love and care,

so you don't have any doubts.

We've got a pretty strong relationship

and have each other's back,

so I'm not worried at all.

Jayden's pretty open, so I'm not too concerned for later

to have something crazy in there that I didn't know about.

It might though, I don't know.

As for Jayden, this opportunity to be open

and raw has left him feeling unsure

whether he should reveal a secret from

a past relationship to his new wife.

Really, really nervous right now.

This is going to be the first thing

she finds out about my past.

She finds out about some things that I've done,

and I don't know how she's going to react.

We have discussed a lot of things from our past,

and a lot of them have been,

you know, she's been fine with, she's cool with it.

But this is a pretty big one.

So I really don't know how she's going to take it.

Are you done? I'm done.

You finished? Yeah. I'm nervous, though.

You're nervous? I think you and I both.

OK. Have a seat.

I think, you know, this is obviously going to be a little challenging,

especially what I have to tell you.

Oh.

But I think it's something

that I want to tell you about my past.

I think if we can get through this,

basically we can get through anything.

OK. I'm scared now.

Um...

To begin Confessions Week, Jayden is about to reveal

a secret from his past relationship to new wife, Eden.

Really, really nervous right now.

I guess we better get straight into it.

Um...

Dear Eden...

My ex-girlfriend cheated on me.

Um, she was going on dinner dates, movie dates,

and I even had guys openly admit to me

in person that they had slept with her.

I told her that I was willing to give her another chance.

Um...

I'm going to sleep with her best friend...

..while she watches.

One of her friends agreed to do it.

So, after a little bit of chatting for a few days,

it happened.

Do you regret that, though?

I feel like that's just so triggering for me

because of my situation,

which you already know about, but yeah. Yeah.

That's... That's me.

(SNIFFLES)

I think the 'do you regret it' response was probably

more concerning to me than the actual story.

Like, the story was gross and I didn't like it at all,

but he didn't seem to regret it.

That was the concerning part.

You right?

Yeah, I just want to go by myself somewhere.

I think I just, like, kind of want to go for a walk by myself

for an hour or so and think about how I feel about it.

Because right now, I'm just in shock.

After her husband's revelation

and in need of an outside perspective,

Eden turns to fellow wife, Sara.

Hello. Hi!

OK, we need a debrief.

What's happening?

We just... We need to talk it out, I think.

D'you want to sit here? Yeah.

So Jayden's letter thing,

it was real hectic, and I'm a bit rattled by it.

Oh, what? Yeah.

So, like, his, um...

His ex cheated on him a bunch of times, like, a million times.

So he basically said to her, like,

"I'm gonna sleep with your friend."

What? Yeah.

Wait. He told you that?

Yeah. And then they did it.

What? And she watched it.

She let that happen? That's what I said.

I was like, firstly, she let that happen.

And he said yeah, because she wanted to get back with him.

I'm, like, rattled by it.

That's (BLEEP) up.

Yeah.

I was just baffled.

I was like, that's not what I expected to come out of her mouth.

Like, I was just, like, I don't know,

it's just pretty crazy, honestly.

Like, I've never heard anyone do that in my life before.

So, yeah, that's a first.

That's weird that the best friend even was like...

I'll do it. ..allowing that.

Who even agrees to that?

Just, like, picture the scenario, please.

Because I'm picturing, I'm like this is just really (BLEEP) weird.

Are you OK?

I started crying.

Oh babe!

Because I was just like, my, like,

my ex-boyfriend cheated on me with my lifelong best friend.

That's triggering. Oh.

And that's essentially what he did.

Am I being, like, silly to think that that's extreme?

No, no. Absolutely not. I'd be (BLEEP) pissed.

So then I said, "Do you regret it?"

Like, "Do you feel like that was the wrong decision?"

And he said no. No!

Shut (BLEEP).

Wait, what! If Tim said that to me, I would be like,

I'd probably be out of here.

Like, I would see that as a major red flag.

It was like, "Do you regret it?" "No."

It wasn't even, he didn't even stop and think.

I was like, OK.

Like, the most immature thing ever.

Like, that says a lot about someone.

I think. The not regretting it part is the issue for me.

So it's like, how does he deal with other issues that come up?

Is he going to deal with them like he dealt with that?

Yeah. And I need someone

who's willing to learn from their mistakes.

100 percent. Yeah.

Jayden's not my good books right now.

Oh, look, I want to believe he's a nice guy,

just purely based on the fact

that he's dating a friend of mine.

But what the (BLEEP).

This experiment is definitely speeding up

those little bumps in the road

that you're going to have in a relationship.

Because we're having the tough questions so early on.

Like, you don't get to see that for a while in like normally,

you know, so it's like,

yeah, this experiment is definitely, like, speeding things up for us.

But she, I can tell that she is feeling a little bit,

like, confused about what she's going to do.

Yeah, I don't think she's feeling too good about it at the moment.

I don't know. Oh babe.

It made me feel better that Sara was on the same page as me.

I was kind of wondering, am I being, like,

extreme to care so much about this situation?

But then Sara made me feel better because she was like,

no, that's a lot.

Thanks for the chat. Thank you.

And I think she kind of agreed with me in that

kind of needs to show a little bit of remorse

for that situation before I can think

about staying in this relationship.

Thank you. You're the best.

Love you. Bye.

I'll see you soon. OK.

Bye.

With Confessions Week already exposing

confronting secrets from the past,

the experiment is about to get another shock.

With an unexpected and late check-in.

As our couples begin living together

as husband and wife in their new home,

there's a last minute check-in.

The last time I spoke to Collins was, um,

at the dinner party and saying our final goodbyes.

Um, he probably thinks I jetted home to Melbourne

at the first flight.

Um, but having spent some time alone and being able

to sleep on it as well really helped me to...

yeah, to want to be here.

Despite having high hopes for a romantic connection with Collins,

by the time the pair arrived at the first

dinner party of the experiment,

it became clear that Natalie's feelings

for Collins were not reciprocated.

Let's go. Let's step out, shall we?

Let's go for a walk.

Leading Natalie to make a drastic decision.

Announcing an early exit.

I just wanted to come and say goodbye.

(ALL EXCLAIM)

Damn. Whoa!

Oh my god.

That's goodbye for me, too.

Whoa!

Oh my god.

I cancelled everything.

I'll have to go back to work tomorrow.

Oh my god.

Hello?

No way!

What the hell?

How you going?

Sorry, I was watching the tennis.

I've decided to stay in the experiment.

But if he starts to do that surface level performance,

I'm out. Are you doing alright?

Yeah. I thought you went...

Yeah. No, I'm still here.

I'll tell you all about it.

Whew! She's back.

Yeah, it's, as I said,

it's good to see her. I just thought she was done.

She's back.

I thought you left.

I thought I was leaving, too.

Um... Yeah.

Do we want to sit down?

Yeah. Sorry. Bear with me. It's really good to see you.

Mentally, I was like, OK.

I'm shocked and speechless.

Just a whole bunch of what's going on?

I still feel like there's things I need to learn about myself

and about this relationship,

before I call this quits.

Yeah.

How were you feeling during the dinner party?

Can I ask that?

Yeah, 'course.

I was very, evidently, very upset and very anxious.

You didn't really pick up on my cues that I really

wanted you to be at my side, and I spiralled.

Yeah.

Like, I wish that you could have bolstered me up a bit.

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

Yeah...

No, no, I see where you're coming from.

I just wish that you came over and tried to use some of

that positive energy that you have so much.

OK. Yeah. I don't know!

I don't know where I'm at, what I'm feeling.

Yeah. Here we are. She's back!

Yeah. Let's go.

Um, so I'm currently staying in another apartment.

I prefer just to stay in my own space.

Yeah. Of course.

Um, so it's going to still be day by day for me.

I understand that.

Mate, it's been a day.

It's been a day.

What is going on?

Like, you're back.

So...

It's been a day.

Are you sure about your feelings and wanting to be here?

Yeah, I am. Are you sure?

That's what I need to sort out.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Down the hall, Lauren and Jonathan

are taking on their first Confessions Week task.

OK.

"This next task will test your ability to trust each other.

"Are you keeping a part of yourself hidden?

"For this task, you must reveal your latest correspondence

"on the device you most use, your phone."

Letting your partner in and allow them to look at the contents

of your phone is the strongest possible way that participants

can show how willing they are to be completely open and honest

with their partner at this stage of the experiment.

OK, they're my messages.

Go, scroll.

OK.

Mm-hm.

Look how many times KFC messages me.

Yeah.

Oh, god. You have issues.

This feels really weird. I know.

You haven't given me any reason not to trust you.

I know, I'm an angel from heaven.

We all know that's not true.

Whore after whore after whore.

(GASPS) What is this?

Who the (BLEEP) is Cabcharge?

You slut.

The experts have also asked Tori and Jack

to take on the phone swap task.

Good news, bad news?

Something funny? (BLEEP)!

"This next task will test your ability to trust each other.

"For this task,

you must reveal your device you use the most, your phone."

The timing of this task comes at a precarious time for the pair,

following intense scrutiny of Jack's recent relationship past

at last night's dinner party.

He's come in and there've been rumours swirling around him.

Does he have a girlfriend on the outside or not?

I heard a rumbling, but I didn't want to,

I didn't want to say anything.

What did the article say?

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

There was talk about moving in together.

There was like meeting the parents, things like that.

So she felt like it was more serious.

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

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

Where are our phones at?

Right over there. Oh!

Of course. Um...

Going through the phones,

I've never done it before.

Are you feeling nervous?

Um... What do you think's on here?

Well, I should know what's on there, but shit gets through,

doesn't it, that you think isn't there?

And then it is.

Have a look. See what you find, my honey.

I'm, like, sweaty.

You know, I will admit, before coming into this,

I absolutely went through my phone,

made sure that there were no compromising photos

of ex-partners or me with my partner.

You know you're getting married.

Let's just, like, have a spring clean of the phone.

Did you vet your phone before this whole thing?

Um...

I haven't, like, got rid of any text messages, phone calls.

But, you know, I think I've done that so many times in the past

when I might have had incriminating things on my phone.

Interesting.

Yeah.

You going straight for the pics?

Yep. Oh!

Show me. Nah.

Hey, hey, are you trying to look in the reflection?

Shit, yeah.

Where are you going?

Oh! Where are you going?

This is gross!

What is it?

What the (BLEEP) was that?

In Confessions Week, the experts have asked

our couples to swap phones, in an exercise of trust.

Mm.

And that trust is being put to the test

as Tori searches through Jack's phone.

Where are you going?

What the (BLEEP) was that?

Oh, shit!

Did you see that?

Or do you know what I'm talking about?

I caught the reflection.

Yeah.

Uh, it was just from...

It's just like a... how do I put it?

Um...

Pretty sure this is you proposing.

Um...

It's unfortunate that she just came across a picture

of me and my ex-fiance when I was proposing.

It is a part of my past and it was special.

Why are these still on here?

Like, why are these still on here?

Get rid of them.

I actually feel like...

physically like I want to be sick.

If I could rewind and stab myself in the eyeballs

with sharpened spoons, I think I would.

Respectfully, that is something that is now unnecessary.

That's as far as I'm going with that.

That was a lot. That was a lot.

Um...

You've just vetted your phone better than me by the sounds of it.

I feel like I'm gonna vomit.

This hasn't made me trust Jack any less,

but it is, like, a bit, like, icky.

Like, it's like a bit, like, ugh.

Like, dude, like, clean your shit up.

OK, well, hate this for us, so let's move on to something else.

Just like, over there. Ciao.

Down the hall,

Richard is reminding Andrea of a very special anniversary.

It's 3:00. Nap time.

No, no, no... What?

3:00 on Wednesday.

Yeah. When did we get married?

3:00 last Wednesday.

Happy one week.

From the moment they met at the aisle,

Andrea and Richard had an instant spark.

Hello. Hello.

Hello.

How are you? I'm good.

How are you? Good, thank you.

I'm Richard. Hello, Richard.

I'm Andrea. Hi, Andrea.

I'm a little bit, like, struck, to be honest.

You know, at a bit of a loss for words.

And their chemistry continued to heat up on the honeymoon.

This morning... I suppose,

well, how would you describe it?

Spontaneous combustion.

It just happened, you know.

I just feel... Yeah.

Closer and even more connected.

Even though Andrea and Richard's initial connection has been strong,

the trust they have built in their relationship is about to be tested.

I'm scared.

"When it comes to relationships, trust is crucial

"to develop emotional intimacy and grow connection.

"This next task will test your ability to trust each other.

"You must reveal your latest correspondence

on the device you use most, your phone."

We need to get our phones out?

Yeah, we've got to get our phones out and share...

So I go through... what you've said.

Texts and stuff? We'll go through texts?

Yeah. Just your last correspondence.

I choose to go into any relationship trusting.

Even though I've been hurt time and time again.

But it's nothing like someone looking

in your messages to bring up worry.

We have...

Your ex.

She called me yesterday. Remember we spoke about something.

And I said, "Bye, sweetie."

She texts me and said, "Did you call me sweetie?"

She goes, "Don't do that. Don't disrespect your woman."

Oh my god! "I'm your ex, man.

Don't assume she's fine. Don't get loose."

Oh my god, she's got my back too.

Oh, yeah.

I actually love Richard's ex girlfriend a lot.

I love...!

I know she's there for him and I love that he has her as his person.

But I even loved more now that she's got my back above Richard's.

"At least your wife seems chill."

The fact that they're best friends, actually love it.

It's a good man that can still have

an ex-girlfriend batting for him.

She's my new best friend.

Seriously, I love that. I love her, I don't even know her.

I'm just saying it shows what sort of man you are

to still have such a good relationship with your ex.

Thank you.

Coming up...

I was just wondering, like, what are your desires in sex?

Some tough pillow talk...

Like, anal was out of bounds for example.

I just want to go to bed.

I just want to just forget the conversation

and never have it again.

And...

"It's time to get a better sense of what your

partner finds attracting in the opposite sex."

..our couples take on the photo ranking task.

Nothing good can come of this,

this is just, you know, this is just (BLEEP) with your head.

Confessions Week tests our couples to live together

for the first time and to be open and honest in their communication.

And while most of our couples embrace their new living arrangements,

the same cannot be said for Timothy.

(TV PLAYS IN BACKGROUND) (SOFT KISSES)

Don't get me wrong, she's a great person.

I cannot pick one fault.

She likes me and I like her, but I'm a slow burn.

It's tough to go from no second date

to moving in with somebody and getting married.

Lucinda and Timothy's relationship got off to a crazy start.

WOMAN: Bless your minds.

I can feel rain.

Here it comes.

Now shit gets real!

WOMAN: Everybody, run for cover.

Oh, god!

Better not be an omen.

But Timothy broke down some walls and showed his heart to his new wife.

You must be wondering why I don't have any family here.

Unfortunately, Mum, who was my best friend,

passed away 17 years ago, and, uh, along with my little brother.

So, yeah. And then I lost Dad about six weeks ago.

Yeah. That was the day I realised that I wanted to change my life.

I thought Tim's vulnerability in his speech,

was just beautiful, and I think he's really brave.

And despite there being warm affection

from Timothy to Lucinda,

the reality of living with her in close quarters is kicking in.

I'm so excited to do this with you.

Yeah. It's, um...

It's a nice... It's, it's good.

It'll be fun.

It'll be so much fun. For sure.

Oh.

Yay!

Can you see it? Yes!

Shit.

I'm trying.

It's not her.

I'm just not used to somebody being around all the time.

What's happening?

Look at all those runners.

This is... This is looking good.

I do like having my own space.

And Lucinda is kind of like the ocean.

Just keeps coming.

Wave after wave.

What's going on in the man cave?

Would you like a cup of tea or something like that?

How do you feel about your bathroom?

What's that?

Do you like your bathroom?

I do actually, it's...

It's pretty good digs.

You're starting a relationship.

It's like starting a fire.

You know, if you've got a little spark there and you just

get your leaf blower on it and go...it's out.

Are we gonna get going and get some lunch?

But if you just give it a little (SOFT BLOW)

then wait a little bit for it to catch a little more and go again,

eventually, it'll start.

I've got a (BLEEP) Ryobi leaf blower blowing on my little flame.

What d'ya reckon?

The 36 volt.

With the first day of Confessions Week under their belts...

Already in bed, babe?

I'm ready to go to sleep.

I'm ready to end the day.

..our newlyweds head to bed.

Ready for me to jump in bed too?

I mean, yeah, that'd be nice.

Done. Oh.

Luke, I am your father.

So sexy.

Oh! You need a shower.

Hey!

You're settled?

Settled.

I'm just gonna sleep over here. Ready to go.

Night, baby.

But while our couples put the first day

of Confessions Week to rest,

Lucinda is just getting started.

What are you thinking?

I was just wondering, like, what are your desires in sex?

Um...

Just that it goes smoothly when it happens, you know,

and there's not a lot of laughing or disappointment.

And how about boundaries?

Do you have any boundaries in sex?

Yeah... Things that you don't like or...?

Anywhere that a doctor, you know, really says, just relax.

Most pretty out of bounds, you know.

Oh.

So you're saying, like, anal is out of bounds, for example?

Yeah. OK, that's a fair call.

The prostate is up there. It's a very orgasmic...

That's great. Awesome.

How about aftercare? What's aftercare?

Just like a protocol of, like, caring for your lady.

Generally, I go get a can of Coke.

I roll over and go to sleep.

Like... Aftercare?

Didn't know it existed.

Hmm. Hence, I'm 50 and single.

You guys need to come with instructions.

Women are complicated characters, you know that.

Oh, no shit.

I think he was maybe an eight on the scale of 1 to 10

of, uh, awkward, uncomfortable.

Yeah. Bless him.

You don't really want this conversation at all, do you?

Maybe a little bit too much too soon.

Feel a bit chilly.

I'm actually getting real tired.

I just want to go to bed.

Like, I just want to just forget the conversation

and never have it again.

I think it needs to be an ongoing conversation.

I'd like to get in a little bit deeper

and understand. There wasn't actually

a lot that I extracted from it

as far as his desires or boundaries.

The poor bugger. It's just not his thing, and we'll work on it.

All right.

There's always tomorrow night.

Coming up... the photo ranking task.

From left to right, you must place the photos in order of

who you find the most attractive to the least attractive.

It's bullshit. I think it's an unfair, unrealistic task.

I don't want to do it. You don't want to do it?

Nuh, don't want to do it.

This week, our couples have entered the next phase of their marriage,

moving in and living together as husband and wife.

I was a bit concerned about sharing space again

after having no one

in my space for so long, but it feels like home already.

And Andrea and Richard's blossoming love story

has put a spring in Richard's step.

# You can go with this You can go with that. #

Still dancing?

# ..go with that. #

I had a peek of you out there shaking your groove thing.

So it turns out, Richard likes to dance.

Oh!

And in his daughter's speech at the wedding,

she did mention he likes some random dancing

anywhere and like 'ah yeah,' but he literally dances anywhere.

Come on!

He's living life exactly the way they tell you to.

To dance like no one's watching.

But Richard still dances even when the people are watching.

Here we go. Here we go.

But they are literally the things I love about Richard.

I like watching him be him.

And the stuff that he's doing comes from a joyful place.

It's a beautiful thing.

Here we go.

The next Confessions Week task is a test of attraction,

and is one of the most confronting of the experiment.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

I knew it.

Ooh! Get the scissors.

Our couples will now take on the photo ranking task.

I'll get this one. I'll get (BLEEP).

You kick back and relax.

Tell me it's a prostate exam, I'll be more excited.

"Whatever qualities dictate your level of physical attraction,

"there's no question it can affect

"your ability to progress with your partner.

"It's time to get a better sense of what your partner

"finds attracting in the opposite sex.

"Inside this envelope are photos of all

"the other brides and grooms in this experiment.

"From left to right, you must place the photos in order

of who you find the most attractive to the least attractive."

I'm not liking this already.

Just go with it.

Yeah. It's not a big deal.

Through the years, the photo ranking task has proved to be one of

the most confronting and uncomfortable tasks for our couples.

Nah.

You know, I haven't seen these girls without makeup on either.

And I've seen you without makeup on.

Um...

That's a kick in the guts.

Fourth.

You don't even get a medal for that.

But for other couples, participation in this task

can have a positive and constructive impact.

And then, my little Thai princess,

she's probably going to go at the top.

Number one.

We specifically ask our participants to take on this

difficult task to uncover pure, raw honesty.

First, right?

I don't have eyes for anyone else.

And then, of course, my beautiful husband.

That is me. Tristan.

You're my number one.

You, my handsome husband.

The very top. Cool!

While some couples have thrown themselves into the task...

Timothy has his reservations.

Nothing good can come of this. This, this is...

This is just, you know, this is just (BLEEP) your head.

It's bullshit.

And it's unfair for me.

We'll line them up on the table.

Let's just do it. Let's be honest.

It is a good photo.

I don't want to do it.

You don't want to do it. Nuh, I don't want to do it.

It's not age-appropriate.

Like, I'm already ten years older than Lucinda.

But then when I go down, then I'm going 20- to 30-year-olds.

I look like the biggest (BLEEP) creep walking.

What it's asking you to do is (BLEEP) with your relationship.

That's what it's asking you to do.

It's exactly what the task is.

It's like, let's just throw a cat amongst

the pigeons and see what shit happens.

It's Confessions Week, and Timothy is refusing

to do the photo ranking task with his wife, Lucinda.

We'll line them up on the table. Let's just do it.

Let's be honest.

Just be honest.

It is a good photo.

I don't want to do it.

You don't want to do it? Nuh, I don't want to do it.

It's not age-appropriate.

Like, I'm already ten years older than Lucinda.

But then when I go down, then I'm going 20- to 30-year-olds.

I look like the biggest (BLEEP) creep walking.

Do you feel like a bit of a dirty old man?

It's not a fair task.

What it's asking you to do is (BLEEP) with your relationship.

That's what it's asking you to do.

I think it's an unfair, unrealistic task that we've been given.

And I'd like to push back the other way.

It's not fair. OK.

And they're the reasons it's not fair.

I respect, I respect those reasons.

So, yeah, they can put that in their peace pipes and smoke it.

It's where it sits.

My truth is I actually just couldn't even rank.

And I mean all these guys are gorgeous, you know.

And they've all got their own, you know, loveliness.

Yeah. But I mean, I know who I'm attracted to and that's you.

Well, thank you. Yeah.

So, you know, you're right up my alley.

I think you're a total spunk.

There's so much that I adore about him.

And I do think he's a spunk.

And it's a pity that you're somebody

that you can just look at and not touch.

That's my wife.

I would always put Lucinda first in this task.

I know her the best.

And she's a beautiful girl.

We're married, and that's where it's at.

Thank you.

Tim's very practical and I think he did the best he could in that task.

You know, it was sweet.

We both completely failed at the task,

but you said the right thing at the final hour.

The 11th hour.

Down the hall, it's Andrea and Richard's turn

to tackle the photo ranking task.

There. Take that photo down.

Yeah, OK.

It's like, well, this is...

Take this down.

Move that out the way.

This is a confronting task because I don't like

people just being judged on how they look.

But that's what we have to do.

OK.

Oh, my god, look at this.

Richard and I actually haven't had a conversation about

what we're attracted to in the opposite sex.

Wow, wow.

Look at them all.

Uh, I'll start off talking about my type.

I probably feel a little bit anxious.

I'm kind of judging them pretty much on looks, you know.

So, my type...

My type is girls with dark skin.

Very much my type.

So these two ladies are going to get ranked one and two.

Wow.

Cassandra is one because she's just very beautiful

and she's just, you know. I agree.

OK, so now, um...

So Sara is, like...

she's pretty stunning.

Ellie. Ellie, is that right?

Ellie. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

She's pretty... She's pretty cute as well.

OK, well, what can we do?

Yeah, she's pretty stunning, young girl, that's for sure.

Put her there.

Those girls are amazing.

This is Eden, correct?

Mm-hm.

I actually don't know what will be at the top of Richard's pile.

Um...

I think she's pretty hot and she's got a pretty hot body.

I'm gonna put Tori there.

Richard is very open about what he thinks

and feels about the people that he's met so far.

What I like about Tori is something strong about her.

Really kind of strong and quite powerful and grounded.

She's quite impressive in that way.

So that attracts me to her.

Yeah. I love his honesty.

But I'm looking forward to seeing where I stand.

So that is my order.

I feel, you know, really comfortable in myself with that ranking.

Uh, now, the next thing is where do you sit?

Here you are.

Do you like the photograph? Horrible photograph.

Don't like it?

So...

If I don't go up the top of Richard's list there,

uh, that will actually really hurt.

100%.

Just looks. Nothing else.

I would put you...

So that is my order.

So now the next thing is where do you sit?

On L-rankings.

Mm-hm. OK.

Mm-hm.

I'm going to put you...

If he doesn't put me at the top,

then that will crush what I want in my relationship.

Just looks. Nothing else.

Over here.

Ah.

Third equal, purely on looks.

Um, she was completely fine with that.

Yeah. But she could have taken it the wrong way.

But she didn't. In fact, she was quite flattered to be ranked

third with some of the other girls, so.

Every single person would wish their partner puts them first.

He's only got eyes for me.

Boom.

He put me, you know, third in looks.

So...

Yeah.

Um...

Yeah, pretty uncomfortable doing that.

Yep.

When I saw my photo up there against all of the other

way younger girls photos, it's confronting.

I don't want to compare myself to the girls.

I don't want to.

It literally hurts a lot

and I don't know how to come back from that.

Tomorrow night...

Which one is this lady? Sara.

Sara.

Well, Casey, I think her name is? Cassie.

Then Eden. Eden.

He's old enough to be my granddad.

But I'm a savage, so I'm feeling good.

Confessions Week continues.

This is why I haven't tried to kiss you. I really care about you.

And I don't want the fear to ruin a potential relationship with you.

As Tristan reveals deep scars from the past...

I'm so grateful that he felt safe enough to share that with me.

Plus...

There's nothing there. Just trust me.

Mm.

..is Sara hiding something from Tim?

Obviously, she doesn't want me

to see certain things on her phone.

Um...

Can't take these ladies to bed, I'm sorry.

Jack tackles the photo task.

Don't want to walk home with someone that's six inches taller than me.

I'd feel like a little bitch by the time I get home.

But where will he place Tori?

Mm...

Convince your husband you're the hottest.

Why are you the hottest? (BLEEP).
