What's something about you that most people find surprising?

I used to be a lesbian.

Previously, Lauren shocked her mild-mannered groom...

OK.

..Ines and Bronson begin couples' therapy...

I got to hear whether you're in or out.

I'm here for the long haul. That's what marriage is.

I'm definitely prepared to do some things.

..but then Ines launched into a sexting affair with Sam.

Hopefully, we can get a bit flirty.

Tonight...

Tonight...

Are you ready for backflips yet?

Yeah.

..it's bottoms up...

I think my face is so excited.

..as our newlyweds...

I'm going to work my way down to the buttock area now.

I'm going to choose your outfit for the day.

Oh, no. No, Nic!

..get raunchy.

There are certain things I need in a relationship.

Like what?

Lauren drops a second bombshell.

What does that mean?

I don't want to be part of it.

I really dug myself into a hole here.

..and Ning and Mark's marriage falls apart...

Doesn't it bother you that I'm sitting here crying?

Doesn't it bother you that I'm sitting here crying?

No.

I mean, you're the one making yourself upset.

..another relationship heats up as Ines and Sam...

Hi. How are you?

..set the stage for the ultimate betrayal.

I was like, that is like my type of snack.

Delicious snack, I hope.

Morning, world.

Oh, what a view.

Time to get up.

The next chapter of the experiment has begun.

It's an essential milestone for our couples - living together.

I can't do the snoring any more.

How bad is it?

I'm going insane. I'm going to go...

How bad is it? It's like this. It's like...

(SNORING)

(LAUGHS)

Are you ready?

And to help them get started,

the experts have introduced a special challenge.

Are you ready for today?

Oh, I can't wait.

Oh, I can't wait.

It's yes week...

I'll be good.

No. I bet, yeah.

..where power is bestowed on one person in each relationship.

Do you want me to make you something, breakfast in bed?

Do you want something?

Yes.

Strong relationships should be grown around respect between couples.

I'll just do the kitchen, hey?

I'll wipe up the kitchen.

Maybe you can put some stuff away first.

Yup, OK, cool.

Yes week is designed as a positive step

in cultivating a healthy dialogue

in cultivating a healthy dialogue

when it comes to understanding someone else's viewpoint.

Missed a bit here.

Next.

That as well?

It's yes week and I'm the boss.

I think you need to take your shirt off.

(LAUGHS)

Boy.

Lovebirds Jules and Cam are chirpier than usual this morning.

Oh, wow.

(LAUGHTER)

Last night, we took our intimacy

to the deepest level possible

and, yeah, it was fantastic.

It was really good.

(LAUGHS)

Bottle of champagne again?

Yeah, I could do that.

It was passionate, it was pleasurable.

There was fireworks.

Finally got your magic trick.

(LAUGHS)

Voila.

Voila.

I think it was a bit of bubbles

and bulbs and we were both relaxed and the cricket was on...

(LAUGHS)

Jeez, you're wonderful, aren't you?

I try.

Yeah, the cricket was on.

That's funny.

That's really funny.

It seemed to work. The cricket.

The soothing sound of leather on willow

just happened to turn her right on.

(CHUCKLES)

You're going to love cricket now because it will represent...

You're going to love cricket now because it will represent...

Such a fond memory.

(LAUGHS)

There is definitely three people in this relationship.

Cam, cricket and myself.

Hopefully I come first.

Everything is just wonderful, hey?

Yeah, it is.

While Jules and Cam have

some valuable runs on the board, others are yet to get off the mark.

That was a nice little hug last night.

Did you have sweet dreams, Mark?

Um...

Did you have wet ones?

No. No.

No. No.

I wouldn't normally do that over a hug.

So far, intimacy has been a challenge for the couple.

This is quite romantic, isn't it? Just us two in the pool on our own?

It's very difficult to interpret

Ning's actions because she is very hot and cold.

Bring it in. Bring it in.

I didn't really enjoy the kiss very much.

Maybe I'm not ready. Maybe give me a little bit longer. I don't know.

Maybe I'm not ready. Maybe give me a little bit longer. I don't know.

Or another pash? Yeah.

It's not all about the sex.

OK.

I come here with self-worth. I have a lot of self-worth.

I'm in a good spot and things might get a little bit physical.

They might get a little bit touchy

but I don't want to be doing that right now with Mark.

And I, you know, I respect my body.

I try to get to know someone, try to get to know what they're about.

I try to get to know someone, try to get to know what they're about.

Get them to know me because men have got what they wanted,

see you later and I just don't want that to happen

so that's why I'm really, really private with my privates.

OK. I'm trying to give all of me besides that to Mark at the moment.

Baby steps.

Yeah.

I wish you wouldn't say baby steps.

Maybe say baby steps.

Don't say baby steps.

Do you need help?

No, no.

No, no.

Cyrell and Nic had a rough start to their week.

What are you leaving for?

There's a place and time to tell me to hang around

and say you want to fight for this!

You're not supposed to turn around and tell me to (BLEEP) off!

But after patching things up...

(SOBS) Sorry.

I'm sorry too.

..and introducing the snappy jar...

You don't get angry at me. There will be some punishment.

..there's been nothing but laughs...

Aah!

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

Ahh!

Now, Nic wants to put their dinner table to its proper use.

I'm sure that took skin.

So he's asked Cyrell to cook him

a traditional Filipino dinner but with a catch.

I'm going to choose your outfit for the day.

It's a little maid outfit.

Oh, (BLEEP) no. No, Nic (BLEEP).

It's cute.

What do you reckon?

What do you reckon?

How typical did you make me? An Asian maid and I'm cooking for you.

That's just racist.

I thought it was a nice little outfit.

I'm not wearing that. That's (BLEEP) gross.

Are you earning another jar moment?

This is fugly and that's not my size.

I know my size. This is going to be loose.

You could have at least picked a sexy one.

I'll look like freaking Sailor Moon.

(BLEEP)

(BLEEP)

(BLEEP)

You look good. Don't stomp.

I'm legit hating this week with Nic in control.

As soon as he showed me that outfit, I actually already did want to snap.

Don't look at me like you're going to kill me.

You are looking at me like you're angry.

You look nice though in the outfit.

Honestly. Honestly.

It's kind of sexy.

Remember, Nic, revenge is best served cold.

Remember, Nic, revenge is best served cold.

Don't serve dinner cold.

Every dog gets their day.

Nick didn't ask proper nice Filo food.

He just said Filo food.

I'm definitely playing a prank on him

because he doesn't know how we eat.

Right, I'm going to the gym.

Are you sure you don't need a hand?

I swear I don't need anything.

Go and enjoy yourself.

If I hear the fire alarm go off, I'll know where it's from.

Ugh.

There's this Filo dish called tuyo

There's this Filo dish called tuyo

and this is a dried-up sardine and it's so salty.

Oh, they stink.

I'm going to say it's Filipino tradition

to eat that as an entree then a chicken curry.

I'm going to put the whole chicken in there.

Including the feet.

It's even got the nails.

I'm going to make sure I feed that to him.

I'm going to make sure I feed that to him.

It's our little secret.

That's goose egg. Like the actual yoke.

Shall I pretend it's a desert and melt some chocolate on top?

This is going to be one of my bestest pranks

so yeah, I'm really happy.

He's probably never going to ask me

to ever, ever make Filo food for him again.

Payback is a bitch.

Needing some relief from his intimacy drought,

fitness coach Mark has decided to take control and get physical.

Are you excited?

I'm excited. I'm excited about today.

This environment is where I work.

As a fitness coach, I switch on, I take it seriously when I'm there.

This is what is commonly known as a gym.

I don't actually...gym.

Alright so bodyweight squat is

pretty much you can hold your hands forever, hold them like that.

pretty much you can hold your hands forever, hold them like that.

Watch my little squat.

If today goes well,

it will be another step in the right direction for us.

If it starts to get intimate, then I'll just let it happen.

All right, we're going to do ten push-ups.

Oh, God.

My boobs are going to fall out.

Give us five more.

Are you kidding?

All right, stand up.

Whoo.

Stop (BLEEP) around. Come on. Focus.

It irritated me,

the fact that at the very start when I was trying to give her very,

the fact that at the very start when I was trying to give her very,

very simple basic instructions, she wasn't trying to do them properly.

I don't know how hard it is

to simply put your arms out and to roll them over.

Do you speak to all your customers like this?

She was mucking around a bit so that was a bit annoying.

Let's do something different.

Ready?

Step up, come on.

They should do them for shorter people.

Good. You don't need to talk so much.

You're so bossy.

Keep going. Keep going.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Thrust with your hips.

I'm good at that but you wouldn't know.

If you can talk, you're not working hard enough.

How about I do the handstand I showed you today?

I'm flexing.

I don't think she took it that seriously.

You can do that flexing, can't you?

There's no way.

Tada.

You're just mucking around.

That's my attitude.

Why can't it still be fun and be myself?

Why can't it still be fun and be myself?

You're supposed to be taking this seriously.

I was. I did it.

Oh, whatever.

I don't think he wanted me to enjoy it.

I think he wanted to punish me and see me sweat.

This is something that's a big part of my life.

and you weren't really taking it seriously.

You're supposed to be ripping in

so you were doing well but I felt that you had 50% left in the tank.

It's my first time, Mark! You just want everything to be perfect.

It's not.

I just want people to give it a go. I did.

And to try to listen and to try to pay attention.

And to try to listen and to try to pay attention.

I don't see you like this. You are a different person when you're here.

I can't believe you have to take shit seriously all the time.

Of course I take it seriously.

I'm not even paying for the session.

It doesn't matter if you are or not.

It's for us to get closer and were not even closer.

No, we're not.

No, because you're being a dick. You're being a dickhead.

I got the feeling that the relationship took a step backwards.

I can guarantee we're not coming back into a gym again.

(BLEEP) No. Not with you.

I just see a different side of him.

And I hate it.

I'm done.

I'm done.

Coming up...

If you knew half the things that I've experienced in my life like,

I don't know how you'd handle it.

Lauren reveals more secrets from her past...

It's a lot to take in.

..leaving Matt lost for words.

And later, Lizzie turns up the romance...

Hello.

I want to maybe you know get to know him a little bit better

and try and explore that chemistry.

and try and explore that chemistry.

A bit of a sweetheart.

I'm sweating. Is it hot in here?

..but Sam's mind is elsewhere.

Hi.

You're obviously very sexually attractive and stuff.

I want to kiss you.

Oh, (BLEEP) Ines.

(LAUGHTER)

Yes week is in full swing.

Oh.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Yes week, we have been doing all things Dino loves.

I think this activity...

Legs nice and wide.

..he could see it would be something I think would be super fun.

Does it feel good?

(LAUGHTER)

..which I absolutely did.

Whoo.

Are you ready for back flips yet?

Yeah.

My face was so excited.

Most of our couples have embraced the opportunity...

Mind if I double dip?

Mind if I double dip?

..and are getting up close and personal.

I'm afraid to laugh and or move

just in case something goes horribly wrong.

That is gross. Shh.

..but one couple is struggling to get close.

Ines and Bronson are still living in separate apartments.

Even after undertaking an emergency therapy session.

I need some fun and some laughter.

I'm one of those people where I laugh at everything.

I'm one of those people where I laugh at everything.

I think we just need to have fun. Yeah.

This week is a bit different for Ines and Bronson because instead

of one person taking charge, I've put them both in control

by getting them to plan a positive activity for each other.

Starting with Bronson.

This will give them a chance to build a friendship.

Marriage can be hard.

It really, it shouldn't be god-awful either.

You're two pieces of a puzzle that should mesh together

and I don't know if we can fit but we've got to give it a go.

and I don't know if we can fit but we've got to give it a go.

While Bronson is eager to do what it takes to save his marriage,

it may be a little too late for Ines.

Most of my thoughts these days are about Sam.

I could really see us hooking up.

Do you like tea?

Yeah, I like tea.

Anything that gets me going, I love it.

But I won't really know where

I stand with Sam until I meet up with him and have a chat.

I stand with Sam until I meet up with him and have a chat.

After a barrage of flirtatious texts from Ines,

Sam was left contemplating his next move.

She seems to be pretty keen.

She wants to meet up in the sauna and come over 'Bubba'.

I'm her Bubba apparently.

She wants me to obviously come over and... I don't know.

She seems pretty keen though.

I'm hoping Sam gets back to me

so we can chat and see how he feels.

Because to me, right now, he is a snack I cannot taste.

Because to me, right now, he is a snack I cannot taste.

Babe?

I'm going to have a shower and wash my hair. Do you want a coffee?

Who are you? Oh, Jess.

Jess and I are definitely now in a better place.

Do you want a coffee or not?

Yes, please. That would be great.

We just need to work together to stay off each other's nerves.

What did I say? What were the words?

"That's so fake."

Things have been a little tense between Mick and Jess

Things have been a little tense between Mick and Jess

since the last dinner party

when Mick failed to defuse an uncomfortable situation.

I love how you stood up for me there, babe. Thanks.

I didn't hear it though.

I didn't hear it.

I can't bloody stand up for anything if I didn't hear it.

Now, Mick is hoping a few laughs will be just what they need.

Hey, doll. Mmm.

You know how it's yes week this week?

Mmm.

What I want you to do is dress up day like Mick today

What I want you to do is dress up day like Mick today

so you've got to wear one of these flannos.

You mean go outside? Outside in that? Get 'F'ed.

Oh!

(LAUGHS)

Ah. Poor bugger.

Babe, these are so 'F'ing heavy.

(LAUGHS)

I hate you!

I wasn't freaking happy to wear work boots

and a flannelette out in public.

I present myself like how I would like the world to see me

I present myself like how I would like the world to see me

which is well groomed and in nice clothing.

I work hard to present myself well.

I want you to go up to the bar and whenever you order drinks...

Mick!

You've got to talk with a southern belle sort of accent.

Real country sort of hey y'all.

Hey y'all.

Hey y'all, I've got my husband over there

and a nice dandy drink if you don't mind.

That sort of jazz, all right?

She tried to kick up a stink then realised

She tried to kick up a stink then realised

it's all just a laugh so played along with it which is all good fun.

Hey, y'all, my husband wanted me

to come up here and order some beers with this southern belle accent.

(LAUGHS)

It's just disgusting.

I embraced it because like I said to Mick

coming into this experiment, I was going to embrace the experiment,

I was going to embrace everything that happens along the way.

How did it go, doll?

It went mighty fine.

Thank you for asking.

(LAUGHS)

That's brilliant.

That's brilliant.

I think the relationship with Jess is going well after the hiccup

and all the jazz the other night.

I think it's good we've got everything off our chests now

and hopefully we'll go from strength to strength.

You're pretty awesome.

Are you feeling all right?

Oh, my God, Mick. Shut up.

The strength of Lauren

and ex-virgin Matt's relationship has been put under pressure this week.

What is something about you that

What is something about you that

most people would find surprising when they learn?

Um, I used to be a lesbian.

OK.

He should have 1,000 things to ask me.

I've got 1,000 things to ask him.

So it makes me question, does he really want to know about me?

Despite being petrified by Lauren's shock revelation...

Hi, how are you? I'm Lauren.

Hi, how are you? I'm Lauren.

Welcome, Lauren. Matt.

..Matt is still keen to take yes week control.

Here we go, and...

So he's chosen to be her leading man.

Step to the side for this bit.

Oh, sorry.

Good, keep going. Keep practising that.

Lauren said she used to be a lesbian.

I kicked him.

That's alright. I didn't feel it.

That's her past. I don't live in the past.

I don't hold anyone's past against them.

As far as I know, she's not a lesbian now.

All right now step forward.

All right now step forward.

Beautiful.

This is fun.

That's it. Good.

And walk.

There was a lot of good energy,

there was a lot of what I felt was good chemistry.

We were connecting a little bit.

Matthew's stare is very intense.

It does not look away for a split second.

He was just like staring into my soul.

That's a bit of a turn on, yeah.

After this, I'm hoping that he can...

After this, I'm hoping that he can...

Good job.

..take me home and throw me on the bed.

I want that passionate, crazy lovemaking.

You goofball.

After her disastrous gym date with Mark,

a very frustrated Ning has returned to their apartment alone.

I'm really upset because I didn't

pay Mark obviously for the PT session.

I thought we could just have fun

and the person I liked was this goofy person that had fun.

I've seen a different side of him and I don't like it.

I felt like he disrespected me.

Ning and I had a fight.

She was saying that I was unfairly treating her

during the training programme

and I spoke down to her and I was disrespectful

and I spoke down to her and I was disrespectful

but all I did was say that I don't think she took it too seriously.

I don't believe I've done anything wrong to apologise

and I'd be the first to apologise

if I've done anything wrong but I don't believe I have.

What's going on?

I don't want to talk to you about it, Mark.

OK.

OK.

Just agree to disagree.

No, you (BLEEP) disrespected me there like...

How did I disrespect you?

He just doesn't acknowledge what just happened.

You were shitty.

He just treated me like a client.

Probably worse than a client.

I haven't done anything wrong.

Were you even there? Were we in the same place?

Seriously, I just don't get why you treated me like that.

Seriously, I just don't get why you treated me like that.

How was I treating you? I wasn't talking down to you.

You were.

I wasn't degrading you.

Oh, I was so serious, you know.

I was being serious in a place where I get serious because it's my work.

You were like, oh...

Yeah, but I'm your wife. I'm not paying for this. I'm not...

I'm not saying you're paying for it.

Well, why can't you treat me

the way you've been treating me this whole time?

Why do you have to be different?

I don't understand why you have to be...

..so serious with me and so hard on me.

..so serious with me and so hard on me.

Great workout, babe.

I know it's out of your comfort zone,

it's a big thing for you but, no...

"You just didn't take it seriously."

I'm waiting for him to say to me, you know what, I did stuff up.

I'm sorry.

But there's nothing.

He has no empathy.

Doesn't it bother you that I'm sitting here crying?

I was probably unhappy with the fact that she was crying

over something that I didn't believe was that big of a deal.

over something that I didn't believe was that big of a deal.

You're saying that it doesn't bother you that your wife is upset?

No. I mean, you're the one making yourself upset.

You're just not hearing me.

You're just not hearing me, Mark.

I'm trying not to.

Yeah, well, there you go. That's you. That's Mark.

You're not making any sense.

You are here spilling your guts and you're in pain and he did nothing.

That does hurt me.

I just don't understand how you can

sit there and watch your wife cry and do nothing about it.

Complete afternoon has been ruined by a minor argument

Complete afternoon has been ruined by a minor argument

and it doesn't seem like we are going to come to a resolution.

Now that our couples are living in close quarters,

they are getting to know each other well.

Maybe a little too well.

Vanquish the demons.

Just don't drop me.

(LAUGHS)

Relationships need both physical and emotional intimacy to survive.

Are you sure I'm not going to fall over and break my leg?

There was a lot of touching.

And now what?

OK, so come down.

But there's no amount of handholding

that could make me sexually attracted to him.

And while this has been a real struggle for some of our couples...

And while this has been a real struggle for some of our couples...

It's too quiet.

..it certainly hasn't been a problem for Heidi and Mike.

I need you to bend over more.

They've had a strong sexual chemistry

right from the very beginning of the experiment which is a good sign

that their relationship will blossom into a truly passionate

and long-lasting one.

It's yes week and I love touchy feely things

so I asked made for a bit of a sexy massage.

so I asked made for a bit of a sexy massage.

I feel a little bit stressed. There's a lot going on.

I'm not a masseuse.

But I sure as hell gave it a good shot.

Welcome to Mike's day spa.

We offer a full body treatment, deep tissue or remedial.

Would you like to take some clothing off?

Yes, I would. Thank you.

Having intimacy as part of your relationship is really helpful.

We've got great physical connection.

I'm just going to gently climb on top of you here.

I'm just going to gently climb on top of you here.

(LAUGHS)

OK. Oh, God.

When I've got Heidi laying there semi-naked in front of me,

what am I thinking?

I am thinking...

I'm thinking all sorts of things.

It drives me wild, frankly.

God.

You're carrying a lot of tension I think.

Yeah, tell me about it.

A lot of tension.

(LAUGHS)

Rub that tension right away.

How come your voice has changed?

Here at Mike's spa, we like to just be relaxed and in a gentle space.

Here at Mike's spa, we like to just be relaxed and in a gentle space.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, my God.

Just touching her and rubbing her and making her laugh.

I'm going to work my way down to the buttock area now.

I'll bet you are.

That's a good one.

Do you say that to all your clients?

No, only the cute ones.

(LAUGHS)

This is the creepiest massage ever.

Excuse me, Heidi, please.

Respect the process.

Just allow my hands to go

Just allow my hands to go

wherever they want to go.

Oh, OK.

I need to really get in there and be thorough.

I'm going to flip you over in a minute.

Oh, really? Are you?

Yeah. We're going to finish on the chest today.

Oh, my God, your voice...

OK. Front massage. OK.

Should I be paying you or should you be paying me?

(LAUGHS)

Yeah, there is some unfinished business there.

I think I'll flip her over and do the front this afternoon.

I think I'll flip her over and do the front this afternoon.

Thank you for your coming to Mike's spa today.

When he touches me, it's just nice and it just feels easy and flowy.

Get your things on and I'll be waiting outside.

OK?

(LAUGHS)

It was the most interesting massage I've ever had.

Oh, my God.

I feel like we're getting better

and better but also evolving as a couple more and more.

I don't know if I feel relaxed now.

I feel the opposite. I might go and get a massage somewhere.

My God. I need to recover.

My God. I need to recover.

Far out.

One of other couples is enjoying a different form of relaxation.

Intimacy is such a huge part

of relationships and when we were dancing in the tango,

of relationships and when we were dancing in the tango,

I thought it would make Matthew be more romantic and intimate.

But the fact that that hasn't happened,

not even close, does worry me.

I'm a patient person but,

at the end of the day,

the intimacy has to be there.

Matt needs to be open to trying things

or it's just not going to work.

How was your meditating?

I think it just turned into a nap.

I think it just turned into a nap.

Did it?

Yeah. I think I needed it.

I just want someone who can't keep their hands off me.

Um...

I'm just a bit concerned...

I don't know how to say it.

I think because of your inexperience and my experience...

..there are certain things

that I need in a relationship that I feel you might be overwhelmed to do.

that I need in a relationship that I feel you might be overwhelmed to do.

I need someone to be dominant.

Someone to be superconfident.

What...

What does that mean to you?

In the bedroom or...

Yeah, is that what you're meaning?

Maybe, yeah.

OK, what does that look like?

I don't actually know what that means.

I don't actually know what that means.

Yeah, I feel like I need you to take control.

Loz uses the term 'dominant' and I'm still not 100 percent sure what that means.

Is that someone aggressive, angry, abusive?

If that's what dominant is, I don't want any part of it.

I want him to rip my clothes off.

I want the passion and I'm not getting any of that.

I just feel like if you knew half the things

that I've experienced in my life,

that I've experienced in my life,

I don't know how you'd handle it.

Like what?

Try me.

Like certain things that I might be into.

You know...

How would you feel if I was into swinging?

Threesomes.

I am a very sexually open person.

I am a very sexually open person.

I worry that it might be a bit much for you or...

It's certainly a lot to take in.

A few days ago, I was still a virgin.

Now she's talking about threesomes, swinging, being dominant.

Loz's sexual appetite might be too much for me.

I just want to unleash the beast.

I want him to bloody pick me up,

throw me on the bed, be more passionate.

I just feel like I don't know if that's me.

Or if that would ever be me.

So far, this has all been one first after another after another.

Yeah.

At times, it gets a little overwhelming.

I'm really thankful that Loz felt comfortable enough to open up to me

but at the same time, I also still feel really unsure

as to where I stand and if I'm ever going to be enough for Loz...

as to where I stand and if I'm ever going to be enough for Loz...

Yeah, I really dug myself into a hole here

because I feel like there's no way out of this.

For some of our couples, it's looking like a lonely night ahead.

And a cosy night in for others.

Here's to a wonderful day.

Cheers. Lovely.

Cheers. Lovely.

But Nic has no idea what's in store for him.

How can I say 'payback' in Filipino?

Smells good.

Hi, honey.

Are you not eating?

I ate some.

I wanted this to be just about you.

No. You didn't have to do that.

Kiss.

Oh, look how good that looks. Thanks.

Don't laugh because Filo food, people get turned off

but I really don't want to get offended if you don't like it.

No, that's not what I did.

No, that's not what I did.

(LAUGHS)

Are they anchovies? What are they?

Is that fish?

That's Filo food.

(CRUNCHING)

(LAUGHS)

That's pretty salty.

I love tradition.

What is this called?

It's chicken curry.

So do I just pour some onto that?

Why are you laughing? I'm scared.

I'm genuinely scared.

It looks really good though.

(LAUGHS) What are these?

Oh, my God!

What have you done?

This isn't legit.

Surely not.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, my God.

Come on, Nick. Filos eat chicken feet.

I've eaten this myself. I swear.

Where do I start?

(LAUGHS)

Beautiful.

Why are you laughing?

Why are you laughing?

We don't eat chicken feet.

Oh. I did that for you.

(LAUGHS)

Chicken feet.

I don't know what to say. I'm speechless.

This was the only thing I thought,

you know what, I'll make him something nice.

This is a traditional Filipino dessert.

I give you a spoon. Honestly, it's orange jelly with cream.

What is this? Tell me.

What the hell is...

I told you, it's orange jelly.

You got to push real hard. See? What do you think that is?

An eyeball or something.

Where am I going to get an eyeball? Out of my arse?

Where did you get all that stuff? Chicken feet!

What do you think...

(SNORTS)

(LAUGHTER)

What are you doing?

Are you all right?

Hop up. Hop up.

Use the chicken feet towel.

Use the chicken feet towel.

He...

(LAUGHS)

Have a go.

What is this? It's too hard to be jelly.

Babe, that was like... Can you not...

(LAUGHS)

What is it?

It's like wax.

(LAUGHS)

It's like wax.

What is it!

Is it wax?

It's a goose egg. It's not even cooked yet.

It's a goose egg. It's not even cooked yet.

It's the yolk.

I'm sorry.

I'm like the worst wife.

Why would you do that?

Is this a Filo thing too?

Is this a Filo thing?

My first traditional Filipino meal.

What a mess.

I know it sounds lame

but seeing Nic eat chicken feet, I got touched by that.

It's weird but I really did.

You're trying to poison me. Nah, nah, nah.

You're trying to poison me. Nah, nah, nah.

I'm sorry.

I like my husband so much more.

It made me laugh so much.

I'm glad you had fun.

I love this.

It's like lazy opening.

As most of our couples wake up

to another day of yes week feeling calm and carefree...

Far out.

I needed it.

Hey.

..country boy Mick is feeling nothing

but restless as he is struggling with life in the concrete jungle.

It's raining outside. We are kind of closed in.

We don't have a lot to do. I've got cabin fever. Mick's got cabin fever.

I've just been cleaning 'cause there's nothing else to do.

Mick's going insane

Are you all right, baby?

Eh?

Are you all right?

Yeah. I just feel like a bloody caged elephant.

Yeah. I just feel like a bloody caged elephant.

Absolutely missing the farm.

Missing the freedom, missing everything.

Instead you're bloody looking out at houses.

Let's get out of the house. Let's think of something to do.

Let's think... Do you want to go get your hair cut?

We could do that, yeah.

I was thinking short back and sides

but absolutely tempted to come back with something silly.

Basically I want to annoy the missus.

No worries.

(BUZZING)

(BUZZING)

I'm not sure if your wife is going to like it or not.

Ah, well.

You know what they say - there's only one way to find out, isn't it?

(LAUGHTER)

All right now, my surprise.

She is going to spew.

(DOOR UNLOCKS)

What a day.

You have a moustache!

(LAUGHS)

Do you like it?

(LAUGHS)

Come on. Get up. Have a look at it.

Come on. Get up. Have a look at it.

I don't even know what to say.

Do you like it?

Do you like it?

I personally absolutely love it.

I can't be mad with Mick when he does things like that

because he just makes me laugh.

Well, if you love it, then I love it.

Oh, pig's arse.

You look like a bikey.

That went down a bit better than I thought.

Which is disappointing.

I'm going to have to ask you something, doll.

Yeah? I 'moustache' you for a kiss.

Ugh! Get away from me.

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

That's it. I'm out of here.

Unbelievable.

After an uncomfortable chat with husband Matt,

Lauren is hoping to lighten the mood in their apartment.

I have invited Jules and Cam over because I'm quite a sociable person

and I go a bit stir crazy if I'm just spending 24/7 just Matt.

(KNOCKING)

Sounds like someone is here.

Who is it?

Who is it?

Oh, hey you guys.

How are you?

How are you doing?

Good. How are you?

I'll just punch you in the face.

Cam and Jules are great.

They're such a good couple.

They are so good together.

It's good to see you both.

(CHEERING)

Popped your first bottle.

There you go.

Cheers for having us.

Yeah, cheers, Matt.

To the experiment.

So how are you guys feeling in your relationship at the moment?

Ooh. Tough crowd.

I was waiting for this.

I was waiting for this.

Who's yes week was it?

Matt's.

Mine.

CAM: Matthew, talk about yes week.

JULES: What have you been up to?

I kind of wanted to work on some of my weaknesses

for instance the fact that I don't ask enough questions,

I'm not really good at communication

so for the first activity.

I wanted to ask a bunch of questions and she can give me some feedback.

I asked what is something about you

that would shock someone if they found out.

Would you like to take the answer?

No.

That's such a nervous laugh - I love it.

I told Matt I used to be a lesbian.

I told Matt I used to be a lesbian.

And I used to see girls.

(LAUGHS)

Right, that will do it.

The conversation did steer towards sexual appetites and sex chat again.

It was still a little uncomfortable for me.

I think I might have opened a bit of a floodgate because

Loz was sort of talking about sexual appetites and things she wants.

I'm not going to lie.

I got a little bit overwhelmed at times.

Poor Matt. I think I just scared him a bit.

Poor Matt. I think I just scared him a bit.

I'm quite adventurous in that respect

and Matt being new to the game, it's all a bit much I think.

I just wanted to see if it's something that Matt,

down the track would be willing to explore certain things.

It did get a bit overwhelming and I was feeling a little anxious.

A couple of things like mentioning threesomes

A couple of things like mentioning threesomes

and open marriages is like...

Matt is just like wow, for someone who has never

even had a sexual experience until now, it's a lot for him to take on.

You got that wrong.

I didn't say 'open marriages'. I meant to say...

Swinging is what you termed it.

Oh, but I was taking the piss.

I feel like she really wants me to change and do things

that aren't me and that I don't really feel comfortable doing.

I'm uncertain about where Loz and I are.

I'm really sort of feeling a little lost.

I'm really sort of feeling a little lost.

Ines has been tasked to plan

an activity that she thinks Bronson will like.

Tonight I'm going to cook Bronson spaghetti Bolognese

as part of John's advice that we do something nice for each other.

But she is hoping to make more of a meal out of Sam.

But she is hoping to make more of a meal out of Sam.

(PINGING)

Sam messaged me back.

Come to my house tonight.

So I invited him over.

I absolutely just want to get

this dinner with Bronson over and done with.

Because once Bronson leaves, I'll call my new baby daddy over.

(CHUCKLES)

Sam and I have both made it clear

that we are not feeling it with our partners

that we are not feeling it with our partners

so I think we should stop wasting time and get together.

Despite the lingering tension between Ning and Mark,

Ning has decided she isn't going

to let their argument ruin a special occasion.

It's Mark's birthday tomorrow and I want to do something special

It's Mark's birthday tomorrow and I want to do something special

for Mark because we talked about how much I like to make crazy cakes.

It's not fair that we've let an argument impact his day.

So I'm just going to make this cake.

It's normal to fight with a partner

but when couples can communicate effectively to resolve an argument,

that's when irreparable damage can occur.

For Ning, her abandonment issues

means she has a tendency to put her walls up and shut down

means she has a tendency to put her walls up and shut down

to prevent herself from getting hurt.

How long does that stay in the fridge for?

Look, I'm more than happy to apologise if I think

I've done something wrong but I don't think I did something wrong

so this is obviously an argument that no one is going to win.

We are not going to have a resolution.

Well, obviously that was a bit of a kick in the guts

Well, obviously that was a bit of a kick in the guts

and that you didn't apologise or didn't acknowledge

that you have done anything or said anything.

I still don't understand how I disrespected you when I said...

You just cracked the shit because

you thought I was having a joke at what you do for a living.

I wasn't having a joke.

That wasn't the point.

You were pretty aggressive.

The argument was the fact that you

said that I was disrespectful because...

You were! You were treating me like shit.

This is going nowhere.

This is absolutely going nowhere.

The relationship is going nowhere.

We couldn't even agree to disagree

that we both had different opinions and we could just move on.

I just don't understand why you are not fighting for this.

Why would I want to fight for it?

Just give up, Mark.

Do what you do best. Just (BLEEP) give up.

It's not what I do best.

I'm not giving up on this.

I'm giving up on the fact

that we're going nowhere and we are just arguing.

What are you going to do about it?

I'm going to leave. Simple as that. It's not (BLEEP) rocket science.

I'm going to leave. Simple as that. It's not (BLEEP) rocket science.

Just give up. When things get hard, Mark's (BLEEP) off.

Why would I want to be in a relationship like this?

This is toxic.

Why would I want to be in a relationship

where someone can't apologise and admit they did something wrong?

Exactly.

It's disrespectful. Don't be in this relationship.

Don't then. I'm not forcing you to be.

I'm not (BLEEP) forcing you to be here either. Am I?

This is why you've been super (BLEEP) single.

At least I won't have to put up with this drama.

Are you serious?

Unnecessary drama.

You know what, if this is marriage, then...

Yeah.

Probably a good reason why I have been single for so long.

Probably a good reason why I have been single for so long.

What are you doing here?

I came here for something (BLEEP) real.

I came looking for something,

open my heart up for something real

and your (BLEEP) half arse in here.

You know, it's stupid.

I've been (BLEEP) ripped off.

See this photo?

This is a direct reflection of how

you felt about us on our wedding day.

I feel like that right now.

Exactly.

You have been for 2 1/2 weeks. Why would I keep hanging around?

You have been for 2 1/2 weeks. Why would I keep hanging around?

I think I put 100% into this relationship

and it's just now at the point

where I believe that there is no coming back.

A little hiccup in the relationship,

yeah, OK.

No, done. That's you, done.

I just don't understand how you cannot feel anything.

We are different people.

You know, it's just stupid.

It is stupid. This whole argument is (BLEEP) stupid.

I just want someone that can feel things.

You don't feel anything.

I know I don't. Go and find that person because it's not me.

If I knew I was going to get this person that just gives up on me...

It's like you're a (BLEEP) manchild.

It's like you're a (BLEEP) manchild.

I'm done, don't like where this is going, I'm finished.

See you later.

This has got my key in it It's the only reason I'm taking it.

Going into the next commitment ceremony

is probably easiest decision I've had to make.

'Cause we are not suited.

And I'm not here to waste anyone's time so...

..it's an easy decision.

I just don't understand how it's easy to walk away

I just don't understand how it's easy to walk away

and just shut down

and he knows how I am about my worst fear is being abandoned...

..and he's doing that.

Elizabeth has planned an indoor picnic to show Sam her sweeter side.

Elizabeth has planned an indoor picnic to show Sam her sweeter side.

And hopefully reignite a romantic spark between them.

I love my candles.

I love a little bit of sweet.

It's just something I like to do on a rainy day.

I wanted to show Sam that

and maybe get to know him a little bit better

and just try and explore that chemistry.

Hello.

Hi. Oh, look at this.

How are you? Good. How are you?

Good, good. Oh, my gosh.

It's definitely a romantic thing. You know, the candles were there.

I actually...

Candles.

Candles.

Yeah.

She's honestly trying to make moves

and make it more, yeah, make it work.

Since it's raining outside, maybe I thought a little picnic inside.

Picnic inside, yeah.

Looks good.

We can load up.

But I don't feel the connection at all

so now the more time we spend together,

the worse it is getting and the more nervous I'm getting.

I thought this would be kind of cute.

It is. It is cute.

We haven't spent much time.

We haven't spent much time.

I'm a bit of a sweetheart so...

You're a sweetheart?

Sweet things for a sweet girl. OK.

Pretty much.

I get it, I get it.

Elizabeth's not ticking any of my boxes whatsoever.

Something we do have in common,

we both take pride in our appearance

and I feel like you can be really laid-back as well

but you know you like to look a certain way which I feel...

I'm overwhelmed with Elizabeth's talks.

I feel like we're both very regimented.

Even like waking up in the morning,

we are just like, you like to have your coffee

and I've got to have my hot water but it's just like a routine.

and I've got to have my hot water but it's just like a routine.

Sometimes, she gets a bit full on, she gets a bit on a rant.

We want them to be comfortable, no matter what is going on.

Yes.

And it's automatic comfortability.

I'm loving these strawberries.

Would you like it?

Yeah, you going to feed me?

It's coming towards your mouth, isn't it?

Here comes the aeroplane.

I won't lie.

I had to play strawberry aeroplanes a bit to make her stop a bit.

Here it comes.

OK. You killed the moment.

Eat the strawberry.

Eat the strawberry.

Here comes the aeroplane.

I was like, what is that?

It's just a strawberry. It's coming.

Oh, my God.

I'm just like OK, mate. Be sexy with it.

I'm not going to do here comes the aeroplane.

No.

Bite into it.

Mmm. Delicious.

Oh, my God.

Come on. I'm sweating.

Is it hot in here.

I was sweating a little bit because of the situation.

I was sweating a little bit because of the situation.

When was the last time you've had chocolate like that?

Ages. Yeah?

Long time, yeah.

I thought Elizabeth wanted to kiss me.

I'm just not feeling it at all.

Would you like another strawberry?

Yeah.

(LAUGHS)

So, yeah, I was feeding her a mouthful of strawberries.

Oh, OK.

All right.

We have actually a huge amount in common.

But I need affection to build something.

But I need affection to build something.

That wasn't exactly romantic but I like laughter.

OK, yeah.

Tonight, a few kisses would be nice.

And it's time to get a bit sexy.

Rarr. Whoo.

Do you understand where I'm coming from?

I understand.

OK.

Yeah. Would you like another one?

OK.

Down the hall, Bronson is getting dressed

to impress for his dinner date with Ines.

Ines is cooking tonight. I'm excited.

Ines is cooking tonight. I'm excited.

Apparently, she says she's really good cook.

I'm dying to see what it's like.

I hope it's just a happy, friendly night

with wine and good food and good talk.

That's what I'm hoping for.

I had been asked by John to do something nice for Bronson.

So I'm cooking him spaghetti Bolognese.

I just wanted to get it over and done with, you know.

Because once Bronson is out of the door, Sam is going to come over.

I went out, bought new shirt, bottle of wine, some flowers.

Hopefully that shows that I am trying.

That's all I can do is try.

Hello, hello.

Hi. Oh, my God.

I thought I'd bring you these.

Thank you. You look so cute.

Thank you.

I went shopping today.

I should have worn a dress.

I just thought it was a bit unusual because it's like in my house.

I think the dinner will go really good

because I don't have the energy to argue with him.

I'm going to bite my tongue if Bronson starts an argument.

I'm going to bite my tongue if Bronson starts an argument.

I'm doing him a favour by not coming at his throat.

I'm hungry.

Cheers.

Oh, thanks. That's very proper.

Mmm.

This is my first home-cooked meal for about two years.

Wow.

That's good.

Even though I did make a commitment

to Bronson, I already know that it's not going to work ever.

to Bronson, I already know that it's not going to work ever.

I feel better after my talk with John.

Yeah, I feel better all round in general.

I just want Sam.

I can actually really see myself with Sam.

I don't even want to work on my marriage with Bronson.

I think the idea of starting from scratch was probably

the best thing we could do.

I'm keen to push forward.

And now I know you cook like this, I might be here all the time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's good.

Tonight was one of the best chats I've had with Ines.

So I'll leave you the bottle of wine?

Mmm.

No fighting, no hostility, no yelling, no screaming,

no swearwords at me.

It was quite nice.

Oh, you're so domesticated.

I would have just thrown that under the chair of something.

No, can't do that. All we can do is day by day.

A few more days of this, it helps.

A few more days of this, it helps.

Every step counts I think.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Now that Bronson is gone,

I can't wait to message Sam to come over so we can chat.

Sam has made it clear

at the commitment ceremony he doesn't feel a thing for Elizabeth.

I've made it clear that I don't like Bronson

but Sam and I definitely have an attraction.

So yeah. It is what it is.

You just can't help feelings.

You just can't help feelings.

I feel a little bit nervous about meeting up with Ines.

But I think I can handle the situation well

and just stay true to myself

in this whole process and follow my heart and gut with this really.

(BUZZING)

(BUZZING)

After the strawberries, I feel like we're getting more affectionate.

I do.

We have definitely made progress.

I've make no secret that affection is something

that I personally need to feel like a connection.

With me, my whole thing is go hard or go home.

So when Sam comes back, a few kisses would be nice.

I think I'll be the one to initiate that.

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

It's going to be so hard to play it cool around Sam.

But that's how I know I like someone.

I get nervous.

I think I might just faint or something

and then he will need to perform CPR on me.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Hi.

How are you?

How are you? Good.

Welcome to my house.

Oh, it's beautiful in here. Oh, I love the photo.

Oh, it's beautiful in here. Oh, I love the photo.

Do you? Better than mine.

I bet it is. It is.

Finally getting to chat.

Yeah.

Yeah, let's have a seat.

Let's chat.

So.. .

So close.

How's things?

I don't know, Bronson is like...

We butt heads like we've had some real bad fights and stuff.

It's pretty sad, you know? Yeah.

That's the same with us.

That's the same with us.

Elizabeth and I are just so rocky.

Really? Do you guys fight?

It's more like she's just not ticking my boxes. You know?

She's like a walking megaphone.

So annoying. I just couldn't deal with that.

She talks a lot.

I'm basically at this point where she wants to stay.

Yeah.

I'm trying to do the right thing.

It's just red flags from the start.

It's hard.

It's so hard because I think

we would actually get along really well.

we would actually get along really well.

So do I. You're obviously more my type. I knew that already.

It's pretty obvious and then that's why I couldn't help...

We had to come say hello.

I'll get more comfortable.

I'm dying on this couch.

You seem tense.

Sam makes me feel really cute. Like soft and happier.

It's so effortless and natural.

There's a lot of laughing...

(LAUGHS)

I was highly comfortable around him.

I feel like I was paralysed on the couch.

I feel like I was paralysed on the couch.

Why?

I don't know. I'm just chilling.

That's good. So you're not stressed or anything?

No, I'm not stressed.

Good.

Sam seems like a really nice person

and I think I need someone

who brings out the best in me, not the worst.

It's like you're reading my mind.

I feel like I am. I'm telepathic.

Yeah like literally this whole time,

I've said four words and you're just literally taking it out of my brain.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah. I'm trying to.

There's an instant connection there.

There's an instant connection there.

He actually seems like proper husband material.

When I seen you, I was like that is my type of snack.

A delicious snack, I hope.

Yeah, good one.

I thought you were a good snack as well.

Little dessert.

Thanks.

(LAUGHTER)

There's definitely a huge sexual chemistry between us.

You've got nice hands.

Oh, thank you.

I don't think I've experienced one that strong.

I don't think I've experienced one that strong.

I don't want to touch you and get too excited

so I've just got to really chill.

Well...

Ines and I were obviously sexually attracted to each other

and you know that makes it difficult to obviously hold back on that

and I think about a lot though.

It's difficult because you're honestly very sexually attractive

and stuff, you know?

Thanks.

You're welcome.

I'm feeling a lot of tension.

I'm feeling the vibes, you know?

Yup.

What's on your mind?

I want to kiss you.

Oh (BLEEP) Ines.

I'm feeling a lot of tension.

I feel the vibes, you know?

Yup.

Yup.

You need to...

What's on your mind?

Tell me.

I want to kiss you.

I can't.

I know. That's the difficult part, isn't it?

I guess, where do we go from here?

Do we hang out more or what?

Yeah, we can hang out all the time if you want.

That's great.

We can hang out at the dinner party but we can't hook up.

No, no.

I don't think we can.

No, that's right.

I don't think the table would really accept that.

I don't think the table would really accept that.

You come get me.

I come get you?

I come and grab you and take you away from the table?

Yeah.

What's the codeword?

Cupcake.

Cupcake works.

Is that because it's a snack?

You're just thinking about snacks now, aren't you?

Mmm.

That's not awkward chat.

Leave me with a thought in my head

so I go to sleep on the couch tonight.

I can send you nudes.

(CHUCKLING)

Do what you want to do.

I guess I'll talk to you later.

Yup.

Well, thank you for having me.

That's OK.

I'm really taken aback like overwhelmed.

By what?

I didn't know it would be this good. Like you.

Yeah, definitely. You're definitely my type of girl, that's for sure.

It was nice talking to Ines.

We're both feeling the same feelings obviously.

We are connecting on that level already.

So I have to at least give it a shot.

I really like Sam and I like being near Sam.

I just want to touch Sam

and I can go to sleep tonight knowing that Sam likes me back.

I'm just waiting for Sam to come home so we can you know...

You are already in bed?

Yeah.

Oh, my God. Sorry. You're all right.

I was talking to my mum on the phone.

You're good.

How are you feeling? Are you tired?

Yeah, I shouldn't have eaten that food.

I'm bloody wrecked, I tell you.

Are you ready for bed?

What's that? Oh.

All right. All right. Sweet dreams.

Sweet dreams.

Tomorrow night...

There's going to be so many stories.

..it's dinner party time...

..it's dinner party time...

Cheers, guys.

..and it's all about to blow up.

That all came crashing down real quick.

Why would I get upset for no reason?!

No relationship will be spared.

What the hell is going on?

I'm not actually attracted to Loz.

This was not what we were expecting.

And with Sam missing again...

Where is Sam?

..has he lost his appetite for Ines?

If he's left experiment, I'm done.
