NARRATOR: Previously...

CAMERON: This is it! Wow!

..the wives arrived at the grooms' homes.

Where's your food? Um...

And a change of scenery gave Jess and Mick an unexpected lease on life.

Country girl now, aren't ya?

Bloody oath, mate. (LAUGHS)

Cyrell bared her soul...

I really am sorry to all of you.

It's the only way to be is honest. Good on you.

And a serving from Susie...

It's not normal!

You know this has come about because you lied to me.

..had Billy reach breaking point.

..had Billy reach breaking point.

I'm so sick of taking everything.

Then you acted ridiculously.

Go. Please go. Go.

Tonight... (SCREAMS AND LAUGHS)

..as the homestays continue...

What are we celebrating?

CYRELL: I'm not doing his butt.

Yeah, it's training for having a baby.

(SCREAMS) What is wrong with you?

..Dan's mum turns up the heat.

Are you falling in love with Dan?

It was very full-on.

You're probably a little bit insecure.

To be quite honest, I don't think she's right for Dan.

To be quite honest, I don't think she's right for Dan.

And...

I can't sit here and play happy families.

..a shock confession from Mick...

Completely turned me off in this whole situation.

..leaves Jess reeling. You're disgusting.

You are disgusting!

(GENTLE MUSIC)

(BIRDS CHIRP)

Morning. Good morning.

How are you doing? Good. How are you?

It's midway through the grooms' homestay phase of the experiment.

I don't mind sometimes like

I don't mind sometimes like

some goji berries on my avocado

or like some cumin.

We have cumin. We don't have goji.

Oh. Pomegranate?

No pomegranate either. OK then.

After this homestay week,

our couples will know more about each other than ever before.

Just feel the vibe, the energy, out and about here at Kirribilli.

(LAUGHS)

Seeing how the other half lives will give our brides

greater insight into the type of person their partner really is.

Give me a cuddle.

For some, it'll be attractive.

But for our new arrivals,

they are still in the early stages

of learning about each other.

So this week might prove particularly confronting.

Attagirl. This is gross!

Clearly you haven't had many guests.

No, I don't make it outside.

Usually make it straight to the bedroom first, you know.

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS) You're a pig!

Our brides now have the opportunity

to see how they fit into their groom's lives...

(SCREAMS AND LAUGHS)

(SCREAMS AND LAUGHS)

Wait, Buddy! (SCREAMS)

..and if they will move for love.

You just let him go. That's it.

I've enjoyed Melbourne. Yeah.

It's just weird how the weather changes like every five minutes.

Unreal. Unbelievable. It's like me.

I change every five minutes.

Your new nickname is gonna be 'Melbourne Weather'.

(LAUGHS)

I'll take that.

NARRATOR: After wanting to leave last week,

Mick is now feeling at ease in Queensland.

But Jess is still adjusting to her new lifestyle...

(BLEATING)

..after a sheepish entry into Mick's world.

(BLEATING)

(JESS SCREAMS AND LAUGHS)

(MICK LAUGHS)

Baa! Baa!

Mm...

It's seven o'clock.

The birds are chirping, the sheep are squealing.

There's work to be done.

You can wear that sucker when you eventually wake up, alright?

Slip, slop, slap.

I did say 'stay' this week at the commitment ceremony.

And I said that I would put in effort

and I would take the lead in doing things with Mick

that he likes to do.

(CLUCKING)

Oh, crikey!

Mick!

Mick!

Darl!

I really want to show him that

I can take the lead in situations

and I can be active.

I'm in the chooken shed.

In the chooken shed?

Yeah, with the chookens.

I'm not shovelling any sheep shit, though.

I'm ready.

(LAUGHS) What are you doing?

I'm ready to do some farm work.

Alright, come on, then.

I'm just trying to get back to bases of our relationship,

get that playful, affectionate side back out of us.

get that playful, affectionate side back out of us.

Ready to put some effort into it!

I'm excited today to sort of prove to him that, you know,

it is good and we are enjoying this experience together.

Good work, darl.

Thanks, darl. Have a look at you go.

I got shit on me already.

(CHUCKLES)

I'm not regretting at all writing 'leave'

'cause either we were gonna

part ways

or she was gonna change.

So, it's probably given her the rocket she needed.

Off to drench some sheep.

Alright. After you, darl.

So, yeah, only time will tell.

So, yeah, only time will tell.

See how we go.

So, first up, we'll have to call them.

OK. Do you want to call them?

(GENTLY) Come on.

(DEEP VOICE) Come on!

(HIGH-PITCHED VOICE) Come on!

Come on!

Come on! Then watch 'em come running.

Come on!

Come on!

(BLEATING)

Come on! Ah, there's two more.

Alright. Shut it, darl. Shut it. Shut it.

Move! Shut it.

Alright, good work!

Alright, good work!

I was thinking, bloody jeez, we're in for a long day here.

But, no, she's done well, surprisingly.

Just remember, they're more scared of you than you are of them.

OK. (SCREAMS AND LAUGHS)

Hang on.

That's it. Bring her over.

(BLEATS)

It's OK.

It's OK. We won't hurt you.

You know, a little bit of optimism has crept in with Jess and I.

You know, a little bit of optimism has crept in with Jess and I.

But, you know, the last sorta few days

isn't gonna change the last couple of weeks.

So, yeah, we'll see. We'll see how we go.

Do you think I did well today?

You did. Bloody good, darl.

Well done. I'm surprised.

But are you happy that I said 'stay' now?

I am happy, yes.

It's been a pleasant change.

But it's been nice, actually...

so far.

(CHUCKLES)

Happy days.

Eugh. Did you just wipe shit on me?

Hello, baby.

Did you just wipe sheep poo on me?

Yeah. Oh, OK.

Carry on.

NARRATOR: In Queensland,

Tamara is hoping to reignite the spark with Dan,

as they prepare to meet Dan's mum and sisters for lunch.

TAMARA: Your shirt looks nice. Thank you.

You look sexy yourself, actually. Thank you.

You look sexy yourself, actually. Thank you.

I feel like Dan and I are getting along really, really well.

Curling? Yeah, why not?

I think as soon as we got here he just seemed

super chilled

and a bit more relaxed.

Looking forward to meeting the fam,

my mum and my sisters?

Yeah, well, I'm a bit scared, to be fair.

Hope she's in a good mood,

'cause she can get a bit feisty when she's not.

Really? Yeah.

She'll be giving you the hundred questions, I'd say.

Oh my god!

I'll be completely honest with you how I'm feeling right now,

going to meet Dan's sisters and mum.

I'm getting like those...

I'm getting like those...

like those nerve butterflies.

This is like I want to do a nervous poo.

Like that's how I feel - super anxious.

It's gross.

Just be you, babe, and hopefully they...

they accept you in, take you in.

Oh my god, I hope so.

Family is the most important thing to me in the world

and I know Dan feels the same.

Am I looking good enough?

Yeah, you look beautiful.

So, yeah, I want to make a good first impression.

It would mean the world to me if they liked me.

I'm so nervous. Are you?

You should be. (GASPS)

You should be. (GASPS)

No, I'm just joking. Don't say that.

Definitely important for me today.

It's very important to have me mum's blessing on this.

Where are they? Where are they?

Hey! LADIES: Hey!

I really appreciate Mum

and my family's opinion on my love life.

How's it going - alright?

Yeah, it's all good. Yeah?

It is a big thing for me,

just because I'm a single dad

and I did come here to find love.

But I'm also looking for a stepmum for my son.

So, tell me, where did you go on the honeymoon?

So, tell me, where did you go on the honeymoon?

We went to the Hunter Valley.

Really? Yeah.

It was bloody good out there. It was so beautiful.

Was it very romantic up there?

Very.

There was so much cheese.

Not like cheese. Like I'm talking cheesy.

Yeah, it was so cheese.

But we had a good time, didn't we? Yeah.

So, you guys are getting along, obviously or...

Yeah, I think we're getting along alright.

Yeah, we're getting along. We have our moments.

But, yeah, we're going alright.

I think Mum's very picky on what she's looking for for me.

I think Mum's very picky on what she's looking for for me.

Yeah, she takes a lot of pleasing.

So I just hope that Tamara meets her expectations of what I deserve

and what I'm looking for.

Can I ask you something, Tamara? Of course.

Are you falling in love with Dan?

Look, I'm gonna be completely honest.

I do definitely see something.

I don't know exactly what yet.

There's definitely potential

and definitely hope for the future for me.

Oh, well, that's good.

Oh, well, that's good.

So...is there a spark?

Do you find him sexually attractive?

Yeah, I definitely find him sexually attractive.

It was very full-on.

I just sort of had to take a breath

instead of like getting choked up in the throat,

which is actually what I felt like.

But, you know, they're protective and I completely understand.

So I just tried to be as honest as I could.

Like, everything about him, I genuinely like.

Like, everything about him, I genuinely like.

You know, I love hanging out with him.

We have such a great time.

But it's like I need somebody who's gonna be all about me.

I need my man to...froth me.

No wandering eyes.

I can't handle that. It breaks me.

It like shoots my confidence right down

because I am a very jealous person.

You're probably a little bit insecure.

Which is fair. A lot of women are.

The fam asked a few hard questions today.

The fam asked a few hard questions today.

Mum drilled Tam with the questions she had.

Don't know if she got the right answers what she was looking for.

But I think Tam held herself pretty well, though.

Quizzed a bit. Quiz, quiz, quiz.

Yeah, but... Sorry, I have to do it...

Interrogate, interrogate.

I have to do it. Of course.

'Cause I worry about my son.

And I don't need him being hurt again.

Of course. And I wouldn't expect anything less.

Mum's a tough egg to crack.

She wants what's best for me.

But sometimes she might be a bit too harsh.

But sometimes she might be a bit too harsh.

We are a really tight family

and we will not let anyone in if we're not happy with them.

Yeah. So...

I wouldn't expect anything less.

You have to really fit in with the family to allow it.

To be quite honest...

I don't think she's right for Dan.

Want some biscuits and dip? No, thank you...

I know you love your cheese. No.

No? I'm OK. Thank you.

Alright.

Watching them today at lunch, there was no...affection.

No touchy, feely.

No touchy, feely.

And I know Daniel loves a little bit of warmth.

And Tamara just hasn't got that warmth.

Thanks for having us, eh. Cheers to that.

Cheers. Thank you.

If you can't show him any love,

I'm a little bit concerned about

if she's going to be able to show his son any love.

Thank you. Bye.

Well... Well, wow.

Well... Well, wow.

What do you think?

Uh-uh.

I know what Daniel looks for and just don't think that's it.

(BELLS RING)

NARRATOR: Cyrell and Nic

are waking up in good spirits in Newcastle

after moving back into the same bed.

NIC: Good morning!

NIC: Good morning!

(LAUGHS)

It's a good day.

Yeah, it's bright. (LAUGHS)

It's a great day. No sun.

Do you know what it means when it's no rain

and it's not too hot?

Newcastle's got a cool day. (LAUGHS)

We could actually wash Buddy, I think.

I know you keep talking about washing his balls, so maybe I'll...

(LAUGHS) I'm not washing no balls.

(LAUGHS)

I definitely feel relieved after

I definitely feel relieved after

having that dinner with Nic's family.

That was very hard for me to drop my guard down

and to stop being proud for one moment

just to prove, you know, I want to change,

I want to make this work, you know.

I haven't been the best wife to your son, Kathy.

I really am sorry to all of you, honestly.

It's the best way to be, sweetheart.

It's the only way to be is honest. Good on you.

It really is. (WHIMPERS) Thank you.

Let's go.

I was so glad they were so open-minded to it.

I was so glad they were so open-minded to it.

To see him that way with his family,

it made me like my husband a little bit more.

I hope like, you know, by this happening,

this whole homestay,

that we are gonna be a bit more closer.

Bring back what we used to be, I guess.

Come here.

Come on. (LAUGHS)

Gotta have a shower, mate. Come on.

(LAUGHS)

Buddy, I can see you.

I can see you. (LAUGHS)

Come on. Come here.

Come here.

Come here.

I'm really not an animal person.

You wanna have a shower? Want to have a little bath?

I just feel like everyone turns around and always says,

"No, but my dog's clean. My cat's clean."

Like, no, they've still got that animal smell, you know, that...

It's just it's an animal smell.

Like, I mean, I'll be nice to it. But like...

It... (LAUGHS)

Coming in? Are you ready to...

(LAUGHS)

Come on, scrub him.

Come on, scrub him.

Why do I gotta scrub? Here, give me the hose. I'll hose...

You've gotta help. ..you scrub.

Do his balls.

Not so much. What are you doing?

Just wipe it. There's enough soap on him.

(LAUGHS)

Here, Nic, do the bum.

Yeah, you gotta do it.

(SCREAMS)

Do the bum. I'm not doing his butthole.

Yeah, it's training for having a baby. Come on.

Oh, no...I can't.

Oh, no...I can't.

Come on, you got to. (SCREAMS) I can't.

Come on! This is normal.

It's worse than the butthole! Hurry up.

Cyrell's got a...

Yeah, everything she does, it's...it's very...

unique in the way she does things.

(SCREAMS AND LAUGHS)

You know, look, whatever works, I guess.

But yeah, it was really good to see.

She gave it a really good crack.

(LAUGHS) I think his legs will keep going.

What is wrong with you?

What is wrong with you?

(SCREAMS AND LAUGHS)

Alright, he's like getting freaked out, like...

He likes it.

This isn't a thing.

Look, I'm feeling pretty good.

We haven't had any dramas.

There, I did it. I did it.

When we're good, we're great. Like, everything's amazing.

So, you know, it just sorta makes you really question things

when we have a lot of drama.

Oh, look, you're happy now, aren't you, Bud? Look at him.

He's clean now, see.

Want a drink?

Want a drink?

But again, I...

Yeah, it's just, you know, I take each day as it comes.

(SOLEMN MUSIC)

NARRATOR: In Byron Bay, Susie and Billy's relationship

has hit a new low after a fight on the beach...

It's killing me.

'Cause you don't like getting caught out and the fact that you talk shit?

No. I don't like being treated like shit!

..saw Billy break down.

Please go. Honestly...

Go? Go.

Go? Go.

No, I really need you to...

I'm just so hurt and emotionally drained.

I feel like I'm getting nowhere.

I feel like I really tried.

The second I pushed Billy on something,

I got attacked.

And it's ended up like this.

I don't feel comfortable being here with Billy now.

I don't feel comfortable being here with Billy now.

It's his home.

When you're at someone else's home

and you've had a big blow-up,

you feel SO alone.

I'm...

I feel like crying, if I'm honest.

And, like...

I don't know.

I don't know what else to say to Billy at all, really, right now.

NARRATOR: But despite their argument,

NARRATOR: But despite their argument,

Billy is not ready to give up on his marriage just yet.

The relationship is

the most testing relationship I've ever been in.

There's no compromise there.

I don't want to put all the blame on her,

but I think 99% of it is.

But, you know, I came here looking for love

and looking for a happy married life.

We gotta get through tonight

and we've got to get this relationship back on track.

and we've got to get this relationship back on track.

Hello.

Hello. How you going?

Getting there. Making dinner.

For who? For you.

So, you want me to stay for dinner, then?

I do.

You really hurt me before with how you were.

I hurt you? Yeah.

Really? Mm-hm.

Just felt like I needed space.

I'm seriously over trying to patch and smooth over this...

massive problem we have with my white lies.

It doesn't matter to me.

It is so small, it's so miniscule to me that I find it quite ridiculous.

But Susie thinks it's a huge deal.

I just wish that we could get past that.

(SIGHS)

I'm sorry for telling you that I wanted you out.

You're right, I fibbed about the Splendour.

And I fibbed about the surfing.

And I fibbed about the surfing.

Maybe I was trying too hard.

And maybe I was a bit embarrassed

that I did kind of perform the other day.

I'm sorry about that

but I would never lie to you over something of importance.

You need to make a conscious commitment

not to bullshit about anything, ever.

I need to cut all the white lies out completely.

You know, it upsets her,

so, as her husband, I'm gonna work on that.

so, as her husband, I'm gonna work on that.

Let's just try to put it in the past.

Let's get back to how we were going.

This is silly.

All I want to hear from you is that you promise me

you're not gonna white lie to me about anything.

Unless you're buying me a big, beautiful present...

you can't lie about anything.

OK. Does that make sense?

Yeah.

That's the respect I've given you and you have to return it.

That's the respect I've given you and you have to return it.

Alright, I can do that. That's compromise.

I definitely can.

I'm willing to kind of shift my judgement a little bit

and my values, so that we can just get along

and try to get things back on track.

Thank you for coming back.

I appreciate it.

It's compromise. You've got to give and take.

(SIGHS)

What are we having with these pastry things?

What are we having with these pastry things?

We are having a kale salad.

If Billy and I can put all the issues we've had behind us,

I can see us moving forward.

I have seen glimpses of happiness with us.

Ow! Motherchucker!

(LAUGHS) Ow!

I like her.

So...I'm gonna...

I'm really trying to make this work.

And I'm gonna keep on trying to make it work.

Cheers to us. And fingers crossed for a better day tomorrow, hey?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Cheers.

NARRATOR: Coming up -

as the grooms' homestays continue...

I don't think she's right for you, no.

..Dan's mum doesn't hold back.

The warmth's not there and I know you need that affection.

And she just hasn't got it.

And later...

Well, you know I've never said 'I love you'.

I know.

..will Mike's grand gesture...

Well, maybe I'll try and find love with you.

Oh my god... What?

..be his undoing?

Do you think I love you?

Just stop... No!

You're nearly buried in that hole now.

Far out. You nearly can't get out.

'Cause, be careful, you won't be able to get out of it.

NARRATOR: Back on the farm, the clean country air

seems to be doing wonders for Mick's relationship.

I'm going into Gympie town today.

(OCKER ACCENT) Today! Today.

(OCKER ACCENT) Today! Today.

Today. I don't even sound like that.

(HILLBILLY ACCENT) Goin' into Gympie town today!

Gonna get me some bloody juices. Yeeha!

Ride it, cowboy. (LAUGHS)

I don't even sound like that.

That's it. I'm out of here. (GRUNTS)

Whoo-hoo!

NARRATOR: After a difficult commitment ceremony last week...

You bloody muppet.

..the homestays have been a blissful turn of events

for Jess and Mick.

I think that Mick and I are going great

I think that Mick and I are going great

and I'm enjoying this experience with him.

I think he's a great guy.

Alright, you coming?

Yeah.

I'm enjoying laughing every day.

I'm enjoying being in his element.

And being around him, it's great.

Even though we are getting better,

the communication is still a big problem.

He's still just not chatting to me,

not letting me know how he's feeling.

I just never know if I'm coming or going with that man, honestly.

WOMAN: Don't let the dogs out...

So Jess is hoping that a visit to Mick's family

will give her a better understanding of her husband.

will give her a better understanding of her husband.

MAN: Oh... Hi!

Look who's here. Hello, hello, hello.

WOMAN: Hello. How are you?

Good to see you.

Hi. G'day.

So good to see you. Hi.

Jess. Good to see you, darling.

Good to see you as well. How are you?

Come on, sit down. Thank you.

Sit next to your hubby. Yes, next to husband!

(LAUGHS)

Mick, what's this going on here, with all the greys coming through?

Don't know what you're on about.

What do you think of the grey hair?

I said to him, "I like the salt and pepper a bit."

I said to him, "I like the salt and pepper a bit."

And he goes, "Oh, you like older men, do you?

"You've got daddy issues."

(LAUGHTER)

When did I say that?! Unbelievable.

I think Mick has met his match.

They're very much alike as in...

Personality and banter-wise and jokes and everything.

Yes.

So, Mick's been farting and burping on me.

You make it sound like I tie you down and fart on ya.

Jess, that's a sign of true love. True love.

Oh, really? Yes.

Oh, really? Yes.

Yes!

You're blushing, Mick.

(LAUGHTER)

Unbelievable.

I was freaking out when his mum was saying that's love,

because I wouldn't know if Mick was in love with me or if Mick hated me,

'cause he doesn't tell me.

Well, it'd be nice to hear some emotion come out of this man.

It's like getting blood out of a stone.

You do hear emotion. It just comes out of here and here.

(LAUGHTER)

I definitely want to bring up with his mother and sister

I definitely want to bring up with his mother and sister

about the communication thing.

Like the feelings and not being able to talk about them.

'Cause be interesting to get an insight from them

whether or not this is a recurring thing

or if it's just me he doesn't like.

We've been struggling real bad at the moment

with like our communication.

And I just wanted to get your insight on it

and see how to approach it.

I do need to know,

'cause most of the time I don't know if I'm coming or if I'm going.

He's probably not great at communication, is he?

No.

It's just Mick.

It's just Mick.

His dad's the same. Is he? OK.

Yeah, they're not big talkers. Yeah.

How's it going?

Oh, it's going pretty well.

It's got ups and downs, so, yeah... Mm.

We'll see what happens.

Well, that's right. Yeah.

Mm. Mm.

Yeah. Mm.

It's like getting blood out of a stone.

He doesn't tell me if he's upset.

He doesn't tell me if he's happy. He doesn't tell me if he's sad.

He doesn't tell me if he's happy. He doesn't tell me if he's sad.

And all week, I'll say, "Are we good, babe? Are we good?"

"Yep. Yep, darl, all good."

And then, on the couch, we get to the couch

and he'll like scream and blast me

for things I didn't know that I'd done.

That's just him, though.

He doesn't like conflict or anything like that.

Yeah, he's not a confrontational person at all.

If there's any dramas or anything like that, he'll just walk away.

Yeah, he's a lover not a fighter, Mick.

If he pays you compliments, you're in the good books.

OK. Yeah. I hope he does.

Well, he does. He pays me lots of compliments.

I mean, every time I walk out, he's like...

I mean, every time I walk out, he's like...

(SUCKS IN AIR) "Heaven to betsy."

So, who knows? So, yeah, he does.

OK, that's good. These are the things I need to know...

But he says that to his sheep too.

Mick's family are gorgeous. I really got along with them really well.

And it's made me look at Mick and be admirable of how he is.

And definitely made me look at him differently.

NARRATOR: In Queensland,

NARRATOR: In Queensland,

Tamara is feeling more secure in her relationship with Dan

after spending time with his family.

So I've just gone for a little bit of a walk.

Yesterday I had a really good time with Dan's family.

Even though I got grilled and interrogated,

I had a really good time.

To me, family is a massive, massive thing.

So, even though he didn't say much,

'cause I think the girls rule the roost 100%,

for me to see Dan in that environment,

for me to see Dan in that environment,

it's opened my eyes massively to...

Dan and his life.

And he's, to me, a great guy, an amazing friend.

And I really genuinely hope there could be more.

Unable to speak to her son candidly yesterday,

Dan's mum has called him over

with some concerns about the future of his relationship.

How are you getting on?

Yeah. Alright?

Yeah. Had our moments, you know.

A big part of my decision comes from me mum.

A big part of my decision comes from me mum.

So, her opinion obviously means a lot to me.

Yeah, like, we're getting along great.

Having a good yarn and...

She's...good personality.

But just tell me straight up, what did you really think?

I don't think she's right for you, no.

As a human being, though, she's a beautiful human being.

Yeah. Yeah, she is.

But I haven't seen any touching each other.

You haven't touched her and she hasn't even touched you.

You haven't touched her and she hasn't even touched you.

And I think, if you like somebody,

you'd be touching one another.

The warmth's not there. And I know you need that affection.

And she just hasn't got it.

I'm sorry to stay that, but I'm honest.

I don't see any warmth there at all.

Probably not the answers I was looking for from Mum.

Generally never wrong, Dan. My guts are pretty good.

Generally never wrong, Dan. My guts are pretty good.

And she's not for you.

I wasn't expecting that.

Yeah, I don't know where I'm at.

I'm still gauging of the feelings.

I was still single coming into the experiment,

so maybe I'm looking at things the wrong way too, you know.

Got to look a bit deeper in, and that's what I'm trying to do here.

Yeah. I'm trying to...

just give it more, you know.

You've got to have to seriously think about it.

'Cause you don't want to be caught up in something

that you're really not gonna be happy in.

It's your decision.

You've really gotta think it through.

Mum doesn't think Tamara's like wife material for me, no.

But probably best for me not to disclose what Mum thought right now.

How did you go? Yeah, good.

If I walked in today and told Tam

that Mum says, "Hey, listen, she's not the right girl for you,"

it would have been done, squashed.

Want a beer? Yeah, I'd love one.

Sweet.

Sweet.

Look, I find Tam very attractive.

I believe that we've come a long way in a short period of time.

But, in saying that,

if she doesn't amp up the affection game,

it's not gonna work.

Thanks.

Sit down and see how she goes.

Cheers, babe. Cheers.

NARRATOR: As we get deeper into homestay week...

some of our grooms give it their best shot

to sell their lifestyle.

Lay down, facing that way.

On my back or on my tummy? Facing that way.

On your back? No. Or on my tummy?

On your tummy.

Don't laugh at me. (LAUGHS)

It's my first time.

While others have a more laid-back approach.

You've got bird poo on your couch.

Yeah.

Do you see it?

Yeah, well, uh...

The ball's over your right leg.

You're gonna step forward with your left, drop it and kick.

You're gonna step forward with your left, drop it and kick.

Some couples will be finding this week brings them closer together.

Just run and jump and forwards. Don't headbutt me.

While others are reminded that falling in love

requires a leap of faith...

Run and jump.

Aarggh!

Yeah, baby!

Are you ready? Yes.

..and a little bit of leg work.

Let's go. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

Oh my god !(LAUGHS)

Give it everything. (BANGS ON CAR)

I am! Oh my god!

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

(ENGINE STARTS)

Whoo!

In Queensland, Dan is conflicted

after his mum declared Tamara not right for him.

How do you feel after you've met the fam?

You were saying you're not in love with me, obviously.

Mm-hm. Um...

How do you think we can get past that?

I do genuinely need somebody who like wants me.

Mm-hm. You know, like craves me.

But I don't feel like you do.

So I guess that pushes me back.

It's just a passion thing.

Yeah, I understand that.

Does me not coming onto you

and being all like lovey-dovey onto you,

does that make you feel less liked, less loved?

Yeah, it makes me feel not wanted.

Definitely.

But I can't give that because I don't feel that right now.

But I can't give that because I don't feel that right now.

I'm chasing that spark, which I just haven't got yet.

Me, coming onto you and cuddling you and kissing you

would only be lying and giving you false hope now.

I'd rather do that when I'm 100% know that it's there.

OK.

So, last night, when you came onto me and we had sex, you were lying?

At that moment, I was feeling like I wanted to do it.

At that moment, I was feeling like I wanted to do it.

Oh...OK.

So it's just sometimes... And it was great last night.

You were... You were...like, more open.

You were touching me. You were grabbing me, you know.

You came onto me.

I felt warm. I felt... I felt great.

It was awesome.

I felt really happy in that moment. OK.

OK. Really happy.

Not just because... Not because...

What you said first, wasn't that, though.

What do you mean? So that was a bit confusing.

I just felt like when you said that it wasn't there,

I just felt like when you said that it wasn't there,

so you didn't want to do it,

I was like, well, then why did you do it last night?

I was thinking, you (BLEEP) jerk.

That was fun last night. Yeah.

I had fun. OK.

Well, I did too. Yeah.

Good morning.

After talking to Dan this morning,

honestly, it did clear up a few things, but not everything.

honestly, it did clear up a few things, but not everything.

He was contradicting himself.

He was basically saying that it's not there for him,

so that's why he's not, you know, sleeping with me.

And then, on the other side, last night Dan and I were intimate.

It was the first time since the honeymoon.

And he was obviously horny, so he wanted to sleep with me.

So he's sending me mixed messages.

And it's confusing me

because I don't want to let my guard down

to somebody who just wants to, you know,

get his end away, basically.

The homestay week is a great opportunity for our couples

to have an open dialogue about key aspects of their future,

such as where they might live,

if they want children, and love.

These will be crucial factors

when making the decision about

spending the rest of their lives together.

I thought it would be nice to bring Heidi up to Surfers Paradise today.

Sort of the centre of the Gold Coast, I guess you could say.

And have a drink, just unwind.

It's so nice to have you up here.

It's so nice to have you up here.

Is it? Do you like it?

Yeah! I'm loving your company. You seem like a different person.

Really? Yeah.

You know, the Goldie really agrees with you.

Yeah, I love it. I love it.

I really like this girl.

I mean, particularly in the last couple of days.

I know it's been five weeks that we've been together,

but it really only feels like in the last couple of days

she's really let her guard down.

Hey, um...

What would you say about living up here,

I mean, permanently, like after this is all said and done?

You reckon you could see yourself on the Goldie?

Mm-hm.

You had to think about that. I did.

Yeah! It's a big... It's a big step.

It's a big step moving your storage shed to somewhere.

Coming to the homestay, it's been so eye-opening.

I'm feeling like we're going in a good direction

and evolving as a couple more and more.

It's made me think, will living here work for my life?

Is it gonna make me happy?

You know, what will make my next step the best it could be?

You know, what will make my next step the best it could be?

I mean, I'd like you to come and stay here

after this is all said and done.

You know, it's clean air and it's open space.

I mean, you could bring up children here.

Or just one kid, yeah.

Right. You could bring up child here.

Um... Just the one?

How many kids do you want to have?

You know what, one's enough.

One is so enough. I'd be OK with one.

OK. Would you really, though? Yeah, I would.

One's a good number, 'cause you can just...

you know, chuck it in the car.

Well, gently place it in the car.

Drive to wherever.

I'm a little bit scared

because I can definitely see myself falling for Mike,

like I am every single day.

But it makes me think like how will we be in everyday life

after the experiment.

It's so exciting and serious talking about all this future thing,

isn't it?

But yeah, you kinda have to.

Yeah, I suppose we do, yeah. Now is the time.

Well, you know I've never said 'I love you'.

Well, you know I've never said 'I love you'.

I know. Yeah.

I know. Does that worry you?

No, it doesn't at all.

You would imagine that you would want to really feel it before you...

committed to a family, right?

Yeah. Mm.

Yeah.

If I wasn't in love with someone, I would not have a family with them.

Think you could love me one day?

Of course. How would you know?

You just have to trust what you know,

yeah, and you'll know when you know.

You just know.

Maybe I'll try and find love with you.

Maybe I'll try and find love with you.

Oh my god. What?

I will.

No, babe, don't say that.

That's the worst.

Either don't speak about it at all.

Don't ever say 'I can fall in love with you'

or 'I could fall in love with you'.

I don't want to hear any of that.

Just say 'I love you' or don't say anything.

I'm trying to be charming, kinda.

Oh, babe, you're doing the opposite. Really?

What, by saying 'I think I could fall in love with you'?

Yeah.

That just makes it...eugh.

It just makes it not... It doesn't feel nice.

Don't people say that all the time?

No! No-one has ever said that to me...

'I think I could fall in love with you'.

No-one has ever said that to me in my whole life.

I don't know quite how I upset her.

I'm not quite sure of it.

But it just seems to rattle her.

Um... I mean, I really think you're great...

Let's just stop talking about that.

Oh my god!

You just literally...

You are digging that hole as...

You're like nearly drown...

Like, you're nearly buried in that hole now.

Far out. You nearly can't get out.

Just be careful, you won't be able to get out of it soon.

NARRATOR: Coming up - can Mike redeem himself?

OK, let me start over. OK.

And later...

Brocksie! G'day, mate. How you going?

I can't stay here and do this.

..is this the end...

No, it's um... Oh, it's different.

I don't want to be here anymore.

..for Jess and Mick?

I can't believe you've just blown it up like that!

(BELLS RING)

(TENSE MUSIC)

(TENSE MUSIC)

Maybe I'll try and find love with you.

Oh my god. What?

I will. No, babe, don't say that.

That's the worst.

I mean, I really think you're great...

Let's just stop talking about that.

Oh my god!

You just literally...

You are digging that hole as...

You're like nearly drown...

Like, you're nearly buried in that hole now.

Like, you're nearly buried in that hole now.

Far out. You nearly can't get out.

Just be careful, you won't be able to get out of it soon.

I don't know, I feel a little bit like hopeless and frustrated.

Like we're going backwards.

We talked about kids and when we would...

if we wanted to have kids, when we would.

But then he says stuff like, "I could fall in love with you,"

it's like two steps forward, one step back all the time.

Do you think I love you?

Just stop... No! OK.

That's what I'm talking about.

I don't know what you're talking about anymore.

No, I don't... I definitely don't think you love me.

OK, let me start over. OK.

Um...I feel like

I was trying to give you a compliment just now

about 'I think I could fall in love with you'.

I didn't think that was a bad thing to say.

I don't want to insult you about that stuff.

This is a sensitive moment and a sensitive topic,

so I really want you to know that I think the world of you.

so I really want you to know that I think the world of you.

And I see potential and a future with us.

I know I'll fall in love with you.

I know it. And maybe I am...a little.

It was a real compliment to you to say that.

And I don't want you to take it as anything but that, OK?

I'm trying to let it go, but I can't.

I don't want to be with someone that says,

I don't want to be with someone that says,

"Oh, I think I could fall in love with you."

Like, I want to be with someone that knows that they are in love with me.

I'm sorry. I hope I haven't offended you.

You did, but that's OK, I'll get over it.

I like this new you.

The old you would have been so cranky right now

and wouldn't have got past it.

But the fact that you're able just to go, 'alright', that's so good.

Oh my god, this is unreal.

(SOLEMN MUSIC)

NARRATOR: In Sydney,

the homestay week

has been a dream come true for Jules.

You should see Jules' cover drive. It is spectacular.

Are you left or right-handed, darling?

Right-handed.

You've got to make sure, when you're batting...

Honestly, I don't know, I just hit.

(LAUGHTER)

Cam's and my relationship just gets deeper and deeper all the time

and progresses really positively.

Like, even this homestay, like, his parents are his life.

It's all really positive.

It's all really positive.

NARRATOR: But Jules is starting to have concerns about the future.

I get insecure sometimes

because Cam is literally everything I wanted in someone.

Cheers. Thanks to a wonderful week, honey.

But everything is progressing so quickly.

Like it's full speed ahead

and I just had that feeling of like this could end,

this could all go horribly wrong and end.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

Do you ever...

Do you ever...

like, have the concern, because we've progressed so quickly...

do ever get worried that like what comes up so quick

will come down just as fast?

It doesn't actually worry me 'what goes up must come down'.

It's more of understanding what... holds for the future.

It's more of understanding what... holds for the future.

I want to be in this relationship.

And all I know is that right now, with you, I'm just happy.

And I'm here and I just love you

and I'm enjoying every single second with you.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, I'm gonna get upset.

In this moment right now,

I have no doubt that we have the same feelings for each other.

And I just feel so fortunate to have met him.

I just couldn't be happier.

I just couldn't be happier.

I'm never ever gonna forget how I feel right now.

And just never take you for granted.

I feel the same. I feel exactly the same way.

You're really everything I could have...everything I wanted.

You too.

I really had thought sometimes that I would never get it.

And I was never gonna give up.

I'm just glad it's you.

(ROMANTIC PIANO MUSIC)

(ROMANTIC PIANO MUSIC)

Come here.

I'm glad it's you too, babe.

I feel a deep connection with Jules,

that I just want to be around her all the time.

I think coming to homestay

has given me an opportunity to really reflect

outside the experiment.

And to just think of what is to come.

I love Jules and I want to be her everything.

Thank you.

(BELLS RING)

NARRATOR: In Newcastle, for Cyrell and Nic,

the homestay week has helped their relationship

get back on track.

Absolutely enjoying my time so far in Newcastle.

Got my powder, got my shoes. (LAUGHS)

I feel like I've been handling things a bit better.

I am more focused and fixed on what I'd like for my marriage.

And I am trying to show him that I am trying.

And I am trying to show him that I am trying.

Ready, Nic? Are you?

There's no rush.

I feel like I'm trying so hard here

because, you know, I genuinely do like Nic.

Hard part's coming up now, though.

Babe, I can't do it. I'm freaking out.

Drop me. Just stop stressing.

No, drop me, babe. Drop me. Relax, find a nice...

(SCREAMS)

You just jumped off without telling me.

What if I wasn't holding you? Like...

'Cause I know you've got me.

Lucky.

Lucky.

(LAUGHS)

Last week I said 'leave' and Cyrell's moved out.

But this week's been great.

I'm feeling positive.

I'm feeling like we're in a good place.

Yeah, so, coffee.

This is a nice little place I go to.

That's your local?

My little local, yeah.

I really, really did have a good week.

Yeah? Yeah, I had so much fun.

It's good meeting all your friends and family.

They can all see, though,

that it must be a really tough environment for us.

that it must be a really tough environment for us.

Especially after having such a... Amazing week.

..crazy six weeks. You know what I mean?

Thank you.

Thank you. Thanks, guys.

You know, it's harder... I did say 'leave' last week.

I was ready to walk away.

But we've had such a good couple of days.

Everything you've been trying to...

what you said you were gonna do, you've been doing.

It's been really good.

It's been really good.

We've been sharing my little house together.

Sharing the same bed.

Nothing's been awkward.

So, do you want to move back into the apartment?

Yeah, I'd like that. I've really missed our place.

Right now I'm really happy.

I think moving back into Sydney

and moving back to the apartment together

would be a good thing for us.

It'd be nice to just keep spending time together

It'd be nice to just keep spending time together

and really think about where we're at.

I guess we just got to take it as each day comes.

I miss our little...

You're not allowed to jump me, though, with this moustache.

Oh, yeah. (LAUGHS)

I know how irresistible I have been.

(BOTH LAUGH)

(MELLOW MUSIC)

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

NARRATOR: As the grooms' homestay week nears the end...

SUSIE: Oh my god! What do you think?

I can't believe it! We can go over there.

I can't believe it! We can go over there.

..our couples enjoy their final activities together

in their husband's home towns.

Good one, bubba.

NING: Let's get physical with Marky Mark.

I'm pretty good at selfies now.

DAN: Run up there and kick the shit out of it.

OK.

Yes!

Doll, do you reckon you could buy me an ice-cream?

No. (LAUGHS)

NARRATOR: In Melbourne,

Michael has planned a romantic evening

Michael has planned a romantic evening

to end their week on a high.

MARTHA: Wow! How nice is the view?

This is special.

After coming here and like seeing where Michael lives,

I feel like it's just so insightful as to whom he is as a person.

I've never been up here.

It's just like nice to look over the bay

of both of our home towns.

I've been on like this quest to figure it out

if like Michael is wearing like the Mr Nice Guy mask.

To us and to an amazing home visit.

To us and to an amazing home visit.

Yeah, it was nice.

It's been my favourite part of our journey so far.

I feel like I've seen like a little bit more of you.

And that's what I kept asking for.

I'm only gonna keep doing what I'm doing, because that's who I am.

Yeah.

But I hope now that you're confident in that,

that you can let yourself like me more

and let this relationship really develop.

'Cause I want it to. Yeah.

You have to remember, like, I did marry a stranger.

So I feel like there's always...

So I feel like there's always...

like there's been like this little bit of doubt for me.

'Cause I've had this whole thing in my head like,

'oh, he's just faking being nice,

'it's just this act, like the Mr Nice Guy act'.

But when you're around your friends, your family,

there's no room to hide

and I feel like it's definitely not an act, it's just who you are.

That's... Like, I don't even know what to say back to that,

'cause it's just so nice to hear.

Throughout this homestay,

I feel like I've learnt that Michael is who he says he is

and I don't have to be so paranoid.

and I don't have to be so paranoid.

He is genuinely like the sweetest, most caring,

nicest guy that I've ever met.

There's not even like a little bit of grey area.

It's like, 'No, no, yeah, he is nice.

'Like, why are you shocked?' And I'm in shock.

It's a relief to me as well

because I can't do anything but be myself.

I'm really happy with where we're at right now

and the way things are going.

I definitely could see myself like being part of his world.

Is this like a clear ground?

No, no, no, no, no.

I feel like it's gonna drop like a roller-coaster or something.

I feel like it's gonna drop like a roller-coaster or something.

Hold on. You've got to hold on tight.

I like her and I can feel myself

developing stronger feelings for her.

(RUMBLING AND SMASHING)

Oh!

Oh, that's fine. Look at it.

That's fine. That's OK.

I like it.

Oh!

Oh.

How you doing? I'm alright now.

This week has been perfect.

It gives me that confidence

It gives me that confidence

that this girl is worth falling for

and exploring the future with.

I haven't felt this way about somebody in a long time.

It's just the perfect ending to my home visit.

I came into the experiment to find love,

to find someone to spend the rest of my life with.

And I feel like Martha could be the one for me.

NARRATOR: Coming up...

I can't do this right now.

I just need a minute, that's all.

I can't be fake on camera. ..a huge fight...

You don't talk like that about somebody else's family.

It's (BLEEP) disgusting.

..that will shake the experiment.

(BLEEP) disrespectful.

I just don't think I can do this anymore.

(BELLS RING)

(BLEATING)

NARRATOR: After a promising start,

NARRATOR: After a promising start,

Jess and Mick's homestay

has taken a turn for the worse.

A massive blow-up last night has left Jess seething.

JESS: So, last night, I got quite upset.

Mick made comments about my family

and how they were acting at our wedding.

And it's really... like really upset me.

I've told him that my family are like really important to me.

And if you're gonna make bad comments about them,

like this is never gonna work.

like this is never gonna work.

Mick said that my father was a bit rude to some people at the wedding.

He called him a drunk.

He then proceeded to call my brother a (BLEEP) head.

And then Mick said,

"Oh, your sister and your best friend, they were (BLEEP).

I mean, like, I understand that they're difficult at times.

But that's my family.

I love them.

I love them.

I'm very disappointed and disgusted in him.

(TENSE MUSIC)

MICK: We were just talking about

how her family were acting at the wedding

and how difficult it was

to get conversation out of her sister and her friend.

And they were, yeah, basically just acting like twats.

Hey, buddy.

Look, I might have said

the brother's a (BLEEP) head, the dad's a drunk.

I may have used (BLEEP) on the girls.

But this is what happened.

This is what happened at the wedding.

These are facts.

And I thought Jess and I are at that place again

that we can be honest with each other.

And this is the thing when you're honest with people,

people don't like hearing the truth.

The couple are not talking

and the tension between them has been building all day.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(TENSE MUSIC)

Jess is now trying to put on a brave face

for a visit with Mick's best man, Brocksie.

Brocksie! G'day, mate. How you going?

Good, mate. How's yourself? Good, good. G'day, Jess.

What's up, cobber? How are you? Good.

This is Jess. Do you remember her? Yeah, good to meet you again.

Good to see you. Take a seat.

Thanks, sweetheart. Grab a pew.

I'll whack this inside. Do you want another beer, cob?

Yeah, mate, that'd be good. Righto.

How are you? Fantastic.

How about yourself? That's the big question.

How about yourself? That's the big question.

(SIGHS) Yeah, you know, things are...

Things are up and down with us, so...

Yeah? Yeah.

Enjoying yourself, but?

Oh, for the most part, yeah, I am generally enjoying...

I can't do this now.

I just need a minute, that's all.

I can't be fake on camera.

What's going on?

You don't talk like that about somebody else's family.

It's (BLEEP) disgusting.

It's (BLEEP) disgusting.

And it's really upset me. Alright.

Maybe you don't like him.

I'm sure a lot of my partners haven't liked my family.

But I've never had someone sit there and call my brother,

"Oh, yep, he's a (BLEEP) head."

"He's a (BLEEP) drunk."

OK.

So disrespectful. It's not disrespectful.

Oh, babe... Telling how it...

It's (BLEEP) disrespectful. No.

Don't speak to your partner like that.

Don't speak to your partner like that.

If I sat there and called your mum a (BLEEP) head

or your father a drunk... But she's not.

..would you not... But she's not.

But would you not (BLEEP) think that it's not right to do that?

It is SO disrespectful.

And the fact that you don't know that it's disrespectful

just really paints me a picture of who you are as a person.

OK. That's (BLEEP) disgusting.

OK. You're (BLEEP) rank.

No worries.

(LAUGHS) No worries.

(TENSE MUSIC)

I'm buggered if I know.

I'm buggered if I know.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

What's going on? Not much, mate. Not much at all.

What about you? That's the big question.

Oh! Got a bit on. Yeah, I can imagine.

I haven't seen you since the wedding.

I know. It's been tough.

(WINDOW SHUTS)

So, fill me in. Yeah, oh...

I can't sit here and do this.

No, it's um... Oh, it's different. Yeah?

No, it's um... Oh, it's different. Yeah?

I don't want to be here anymore.

It's been a good... good learning curve.

To hear him say that about my family was so disrespectful and rude.

It's been really, yeah, just a really, really steep learning curve.

I'm just like, I just don't think I can do this anymore. (SOBS)

You know, just, yeah, trying to make it work, so...

Like, family, to me, means everything.

And for him to paint them like that, I don't want to be here anymore.

And for him to paint them like that, I don't want to be here anymore.

(SOBS)

Like, I want nothing to do with him.

I hate him.

(BELLS RING)

(BLEATING)

(SNIFFLES)

It's been really, yeah, just a really, really steep learning curve.

You know, just, yeah, trying to make it work.

So...yeah.

Lucky I cleaned the bathroom today.

I cleaned the bathroom, I cleaned the toilet.

I cleaned down all the poo off the verandah.

I don't know if you'll notice this, Jess,

but I've done a pretty good job

trying to clean all the bird poo off.

No, you've done well.

At least it's not on your couch, like it was on Mick's.

Well, that's a bloody positive, isn't it?

I had, yeah, bird poo on me couch.

Mick, I think that you and I need to have a conversation...

Yep. ..alone.

OK. If we can.

OK. If we can.

Righto.

Do you want me to move? I can leave or something?

Yeah, I feel like we just need some time.

'Cause I can't sit here and play happy families

when a few comments were thrown around that have really upset me.

Yeah, I'll go inside, no worries.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Look, last night, it really... like really upset me.

Mm.

Mm.

I mean, look, I understand that my family,

you think that they were rude, and I agree with you.

I feel like a few of them were rude at the wedding.

But, like, to bring it up to your wife

when I've been so adamant from day one how important my family is.

I've had a massively rough upbringing

and I know how my family is.

But to hear that you think my sister's a (BLEEP)

and my best friend's a (BLEEP)

and my brother's a (BLEEP) head

and my dad's a drunk, is so (BLEEP) rude.

And I can't believe you'd do that to me.

I was so set on you, Mick.

I was so set on you and the fact that you've done that

has completely turned me off of this whole situation.

It's so disrespectful and I would never do that to you.

Do you not at all feel bad?

I didn't think you'd react like that.

I thought you would have just said, 'Oh, yeah, yeah, I know

'but they said they were gonna make it up at the homestay' or whatever.

I was hoping they would change my opinion on them.

I was hoping they would change my opinion on them.

And I'd pretty well guarantee they would have.

So why say that they're (BLEEP)?

Well, 'cause at the wedding, they were!

At the wedding, they were. And I'm...

Like, and at the wedding, your dad was drunk

and your brother was a (BLEEP) head.

Why would you talk about my family...

We were talking about the wedding!

We were talking about the wedding. I do not give a shit...

Yeah, alright. I don't give a shit.

It's like you don't sit there

and you say that about someone else's family!

and you say that about someone else's family!

It's (BLEEP) disgusting!

You are disgusting! Righto.

Righto.

You don't need to pinpoint my family's problems to me,

when I know!

I've been brought up around it my whole life...

Hey, how is me saying that, how does that make me a prick?

Because I've dealt through it.

I've lived through it, not you.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

(EXHALES)

Do you even care about this relationship?

I do!

I can't believe you've just blown it up like that.

I fair dinkum can't.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

I just don't want to do it anymore.

(SOBS)

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

You're a (BLEEP) piece of work.

You're a (BLEEP) piece of work.

I'm going in to talk to Brocksie.

It's just beating around the bloody bush here.

Brocksie! Yeah, mate?

How are you, cob? Yeah, good.

Happy days.

Sorry you had to witness all that.

Unbelievable.

(SOMBRE MUSIC CONTINUES)

MARTHA: Guys, are you holding hands?

But for others...

Mick's arrived, no Jess.

What happened? Bit of drama.

WOMAN: Just the girl we were talking about.

I know, I can hear everything.

Mick hasn't told the whole story.

To be continued.

There's a rude shock...

Billy did some nude modelling previously.

You're...

Heidi and Mike come crashing down...

I want us to work. I really deadset want us to work.

But the spark is going. The spark is dwindling.

I'm just saying it's not working for me.

You're a very good-looking guy.

Sometimes you've got to go with your gut.
