NARRATOR: Previously...

How are you?
Hi!

I'm Layton.
Nice to meet you.

Two more couples
entered the experiment.

Well, I hope Josh has a big hammer.

But different views on intimacy...

..caused concerns for Melissa
and Josh on their honeymoon.

I don't know why he wouldn't
want to tell the world.

like, sex with his wife
is not a bad thing.

And...

Oh, my God, look at the sun.

It just illuminates the sand,
it becomes so bright.

..Jesse's ick list
proved too much for Claire...

Yeah, no, you're not my person.

..as the honeymoon box
brought some couples closer...

These are the questions
that needed to be asked,

and I'm happy that they
got put in front of us.

..and exposed uncomfortable truths
for others.

There's no sexual chemistry,
that's just the way that it is.

I just need time to find you
sexually attractive again.

Huh?

Tonight...

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

We'll probably be the oldest couple.

We'll just tell them that, like,
7:30, that we've gotta go.

Uh...

..where our newlyweds
will meet each other...

Hi.
Hello!

..for the first time.

Introduce me to the boys.

But who will be walking in alone?

(EXPERTS GASP AND GROAN)

Where is Jesse?

Claire and Jesse...

How's things going, man?
Yeah, alright.

I reckon they're terrible.

Oh, kill me.

Kill my arse.

..serve up an awkward main course...

I would rather have a date
with my toaster in the bathtub.

..before Melinda dishes out...

..some just desserts to Harrison.

Melinda's backed him into a corner
and given him some home truths.

I call bullshit.

I don't appreciate
being attacked like that.

(TRANQUIL MUSIC PLAYS)

NARRATOR: In Fiji...

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

..Singapore...

..and closer to home, as well,

our honeymooners have been
celebrating their newlywed status.

Have I told you how good
you look today?

(SANDY GIGGLES)

It's about time, jeez.
Yeah.

And with only one day
of the honeymoon left...

That's one of the
most iconic buildings.

..they're making the most of every
last moment with their new spouse.

How cute is this!
Oh, wow!

Is it dessert or is it...?
I don't know.

Cheers to our honeymoon.

Hate your honeymoon, exactly.

(COUPLE MOANING)

Oh!
Ooh, this is good!

Some relationships have blossomed.

I mean, it's only been
three or four days,

but I can see myself
falling in love with you.

I can definitely see myself
falling in love with you.

However, in Fiji...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

..Melissa and Josh's views
on intimacy

have been a cause for conflict.

There's a few things that
I would like to get off my chest

coming into tonight's dinner.

To us.
To us.

Yesterday, I found out that Josh
was lying about our intimacy.

PRODUCER: How was
your wedding night?

Was sex last night with Josh good?

Yes.

PRODUCER: Did any intimacy progress?

No, no intimacy progressed.

Thor does have a big hammer,
and Thor does not disappoint.

I'm open to taking the time,

and just seeing when
we're both comfortable

around that kind of stuff.

You can say that you shagged me and
that we've had sex, and that's OK.

We are both...
Yeah.

..like, adults.

I would never phrase it like that.

It's not a problem.
I'm not asking for shots.

I'm not asking for videos.

There's no diary cam of us bangin'.

It's just us.

Yeah, OK.

Anyway...

Yeah. Have you got enough salad?

Yeah, plenty.
I feel like...

OK.
No, it's all good.

Intimacy for me is such a big deal.

He needs to be open and to
be able to speak about things,

so I've got to...

I feel like I need to tell him.

I really hope that he understands
and takes it on board.

Yeah, so, during this
experience together...

Yeah.

..I don't think I've spoken
about my feelings.

OK. Where are you...?
How are you feeling?

Obviously, I'm more open
about talking about sex than you.

Yeah.

I mean, I love intimacy, yes,

and, you know, I'm quite
a private person myself,

but we are here to talk about
our relationship

and, you know, there is gonna be
some hard-pressed questions,

that are we intimate or not?

You know, this is part
of the experiment.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS)

You know, it's great to have these
conversations with the experts,

but there has to be something that
you do have to keep to yourself.

If you can just understand
my point of view.

I've been raised to be a gentleman

and not really talk about
that stuff.

Yep.

It's never been something
that I've talked about

in 40...nearly 41 years, so it's a
lot for me to talk about that stuff.

Part of the experiment
is to talk about intimacy,

so, when asked the question,
we should be honest.

Yeah.

I'm a private person,
especially around intimacy.

I don't really talk about it
in that way.

But it's important to Mel,

and I promised myself
that I was gonna push myself

outside of my comfort zone
and give myself to the experiment.

So, moving forward,
I'm gonna do that.

I get it.

I understand that there
has to be conversations

about that type of stuff
and, if I get asked, I'll just...

I'll say yes, we enjoy
a healthy relationship,

which includes intimacy.

Yeah.

Our values align there.

I'm so, so, like, relieved that Josh
and I have come to a common ground.

We're good...

..now.

We're gonna work it out together.
Yeah.

He's OK to talk about intimacy.

He might not speak about it
as much as me, but we're OK.

Come here.
Ooh.

(MEANDERING PIANO MUSIC PLAYS)

Top of the mornin'!

Thank you.

Mwah!

It's the last morning
of the honeymoons.

Can't believe we're leaving.
I know.

I don't want to leave.
A quick couple of days, hey?

The newlyweds are packed
and travelling.

You right?
Yeah.

Adam is all done.
He's waiting for me.

Honestly, I expected there
to be room for me.

There's not even enough room for me.

I thought I'll be able to use
my husband's suitcase, surely.

Even though the spark on physical
attraction's not there for me...

I can carry your bags.

..as the days go on, I do see
more and more things

that I really asked the experts for
in Layton.

That's a deal.

I'm not gonna, like, force something
that isn't there.

But I'm not 100% closed off to this.

Is it, actually?
Yeah.

You haven't heard that?
No. Is that a thing?

Yeah.
Oh!

What a trip, what a honeymoon.
Hey.

I can't believe we're leaving.
I know.

Nah, bring on Sydney.

It's sad, though.
It is sad.

I'm gonna miss this.
It is.

Bye-bye, honeymoon.

Bye-bye, Versace.

The honeymoons are over,

and the newlyweds are travelling
to hotels in Sydney

for the very first dinner party
of the experiment.

You done?
Yeah, finally!

Yes!

Some have used this one-on-one time
to forge an incredible bond.

(GIGGLING)

Perfect, next stop.
Where are we going, Sydney!

Whoo-hoo.

But, for others,
it's driven a wedge between them.

(DISQUIETENING MUSIC PLAYS)

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

Hi.

In Sydney...

..the silverware is polished
and the table is set

for the first dinner party of 2023.

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

and marriages will be judged
by the entire group.

Am I gonna get steamy here?

It's about to get real steamy.

And before our couples move
into their marital homes...

Cheers to the first dinner party.
Let's do this.

..they are dressing to impress,

and preparing to put
their best foot forward.

I'm really excited to
see all the girls again.

Yeah, I can't wait to see the boys.

I can't wait to see
who got put together.

Yeah, same.

The first dinner party is a
monumental phase of the experiment,

as it's the first time our couples
come together as a group.

I wish the best for all of them.

I hope they've actually
found their match.

I hope everyone's had
a really good week, hey?

Breaking out of their newlywed
bubble and into a social environment

that opens them up to
outside influence and opinions.

So, how are you feeling, Tahns?
I actually...

I'm a little bit nervous,
I'm not gonna lie.

A bit nervy?
Yeah.

Are you ready?
Yep.

I've got your back.
I've got yours, too.

And your front and everywhere else.
OK?

(LAUGHS)

How they handle their relationships
in this new social setting

will be crucial for
all of our couples.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

Going into the dinner party tonight,
Bronte and I aren't in a good place.

And we're not talking.

There's a couple of things
that happened on the honeymoon

that, um, I feel like led us
down quite a negative path.

I think, when we did,
you know, have sex,

I just think that
it lacked a bit of passion.

(FRAUGHT MUSIC PLAYS)

We had a lot of chemistry
at the start but it's not there now.

(DEEP SIGH)

(SNIFFLES)
Like, what do you mean?

You're literally saying to me
that you find me so hot and sexy,

"You look so sexy in activewear, but
I'm not sexually attracted to you."

Yeah.
(BRONTE SCOFFS)

After everything that happened,
she said that she wanted space.

She needed to sort of decompress

and then, you know, when the time
was right, we could reconnect,

which is kind of why I want to
talk to Bronte today, actually.

I feel like we left things on
a...on a bit of an awkward note.

I've given Bronte the space
that she'd requested.

It's unresolved and I kind of
just want to clear the air.

So, how are you feeling
since the honeymoon?

Well, you know, like...

We've had some time to just,

I guess, be away
from that environment.

I feel like we ended it
on a bad note,

and I did feel like
you'd checked out emotionally.

Like, I'm the type of person
who, I take things to heart.

And it takes me a while
to come back from that.

Um, obviously, the honeymoon,
how things ended,

it was a little bit estranged,
to put things simply.

You know, obviously,
it's not a nice feeling

when your husband says that
he's not sexually attracted to you.

We need to now build a baseline
of, like, a strong friendship.

I really want to get to know you,

and so I think that,
if we start from there,

the only way we can go is up,
you know what I mean?

I know that Harrison isn't the type
to dwell on things, but I do.

There's gonna be a lot of attention,
like, on each couple.

Yeah.

Game plan, each other's backs?

I feel like I'm lacing my boots up
to go to war.

(FRAUGHT MUSIC PLAYS)

Going into tonight, I'm happy
to put all these issues aside,

and, even though we're just
putting a band-aid over things,

but I'm hoping that
we can eventually move forward.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

As Bronte and Harrison
decide to call a truce

going into tonight's dinner party,

Claire is also hoping to come to a
resolution with her husband, Jesse,

after their turbulent honeymoon
ended with a fight

and Claire storming off.

Today, I really wanted to see Jesse
before going into the dinner party.

I haven't seen him
since we left our honeymoon

'cause he had a dig at me
and my personality.

My list of icks is long.

The first one
is the star-sign chicks,

and, like, random comments
on everything.

Oh, my God, look at the sun!

It just illuminates the sand,
it becomes so bright.

Oh, my God, look at the water.

Oh, my God, amazing.

Yeah, no, you're not my person.

I'm (BLEEP) done here.

(RAPPING ON DOOR)

I hope he's had some time to
kind of think about what he's said,

and also take accountability
for his behaviour.

I'm kind of expecting
some sort of an apology from Jesse

on the way he spoke to me
at the honeymoon.

Do you want a drink?

No, I'm OK, thank you.

If I don't get that, yeah,
I don't know how I'm gonna feel

'cause I'm not really happy.

How you doing?

Yeah, I'm alright.

Yeah.

We haven't seen each other
since, obviously, our honeymoon,

and I'm really disappointed,
like, the way it...

I'm really saddened
by the way it ended.

Mm.

And I wanted to, I guess, go into
the dinner party having seen you.

I didn't want to go into this,
like, separate.

I want to go in as a team.

So, yeah, I just
wanted to see, like,

how you're feeling
and where you're at and...

..and yeah.

I agree.

The honeymoon did end
on a disappointing note,

and I apologise for saying...

..star-sign crap.

It's OK.

I shouldn't have said that
'cause I thought more about that,

and that's, like, if that same thing
was to happen to me,

it's like someone saying,

"Oh, you listen to all that
duh-duh-duh-duh crap."

Thank you for acknowledging that.

I feel so relieved
that Jesse has apologised.

That's all I really need to hear,
to be honest,

and I hope now
we can move forward.

I want what you want.

I want to be a team.

I want to walk in tonight
on the same page,

and I want to walk in tonight
with you.

Well, hence why
I made the first move today

because clearly
you weren't going to.

Do you want to talk about that?

Well, yeah, I do, like,
'cause I've been doing my head in

thinking this guy's
not bothered once, like...

Yeah.

This might be hard to comprehend.

I don't think there's any other way
I can put it than quite bluntly,

which is I don't...

..I don't chase girls.

(FRAUGHT MUSIC PLAYS)

It's not about chasing,
it's about being a grown-arse man

and taking accountability
for your shitty behaviour.

The fact that you even said that

has just, like, annoyed me
even more now.

I mean, I did consider
coming to see you,

and every part of me
was just like, "No way."

That makes me feel so stupid
for being here right now.

It makes me regret
wanting to come here.

It makes me...
Why?

Well, because, like,
your attitude is shit.

(FRAUGHT MUSIC CONTINUES)

What did I just sit and listen to?

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

I don't want a bar of him
at this point.

Why are you here?

Like, literally, why are you here
wasting my time?

You could've had
a shitty relationship like this

on a dating app.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

I don't need a man.

I want one, I don't need one,

and I certainly, as sure as shit,
don't need that kid up there.

(MUSIC BUILDS)

"I don't chase girls."

Gross, gross.

(ANTICIPATORY MUSIC PLAYS)

NARRATOR: Tonight's the night
all our couples come together

for their very first dinner party.

Excited for the first dinner party.
So excited.

You know how you get kind of, like,
built-up, like, anxiety

but it's also excitement,
like, first day of school vibes?

Yeah, exactly like that.

We'll probably be the oldest couple
but that's fine.

We'll just tell them at, like, 7:30
that we've gotta go.

Uh...

Married at First Sight
is a social experiment,

which is why the dinner parties

are such an integral part
of the process.

This is where our couples

can discuss their relationships
with others

to gain valuable insights
and support.

All gravy, baby.
All gravy, baby.

I'm just keen to see who's matched
with who, what it's gonna be like.

Your dress is starting a party
in this car, by the way.

How good I look.
Oh, stop it!

You're 100% right,
I'm not even lying.

Do you think someone's
gonna walk in on their own?

Yeah. Uh... Ooh.

Ooh.

For some couples in crisis, the
dinner party can be very confronting

as a core part of the experiment

is allowing yourself to be
vulnerable in a group setting.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Any issues that our couples
are currently facing

will come to the surface,
and there is nowhere to hide.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

When I tried to make amends
with him today,

I was faced with kind of
a closed-off Jesse

who basically said that
"I don't chase girls,"

so it made me feel
pretty embarrassed.

But I'm arriving alone tonight
because I'm here to give it a go.

As hurt as I am,
I don't hate the guy

so I'm gonna go in being
the best version of myself.

(UPLIFTING ORCHESTRAL MUSIC PLAYS)

Well, here we are, the first
dinner party, tenth season.

I know.

This is the first opportunity

for all of our couples
to come together

and meet for the first time.

And for us to see what's been going
on since they've been married.

They've just recently gotten back
from the honeymoons.

I'm so excited.
Yeah.

I mean, I love this part
of the experiment

because this is when they weigh up,
how are they going?

Are they, you know, getting along
well as individuals, as a couple?

And can they get along
with the group?

So, it's fascinating.

It's the first time
we get to see it.

You good?
Yeah.

So looking forward, yay!

Let's do it, huh?

Who's our first?

(MUSIC BUILDS THEN FADES)

(CHUCKLES)

Wow.

Oh, it's Lyndall and Cameron.

First ones. Hey?

Oh, my God, of course, again.

Holding hands.

What a great entrance.
I know.

Oh, my Lordy.

Wow. This place is unreal.

We're in the big smoke now -
oh, my God.

Would you like a drink?

Yes, I would love a drink.
What would you like?

Um, what have we got?

There's a real sense of ease
between them, isn't there?

Lovely eye contact, physically
very comfortable with each other.

Cheers.

(LYNDALL SIGHS NERVOUSLY)

We don't always see that early on,
do we, from some of the couples?

Nope.

Could be our new best friends
behind that door.

I reckon.

And just imagine what's going
through Lyndall's mind here.

She's had this background
with cystic fibrosis.

She's recently learned that
she's got this incredible medication

that has given her
this incredible elongated life.

She didn't know she was going
to have an opportunity for love,

but now she does, so, for her,
the stakes are really high.

That's why I'm so pleased to see
this lovely, caring, supportive man

by her side to basically say,
"We're in this together."

We got this.

Let's rip the lid off it.
Let's rip the lid off it.

(RAPTUROUS LAUGHTER)

Settle down.

Who have we got?

Bronte!
And Harrison.

Bronte and Harrison.

Bronte and Harrison.

Hey, brother.
Hey, my brother.

Good to see you.
You, too.

I'm curious about
Bronte and Harrison

because they saw their friends,
they immediately went over,

but I couldn't really tell
if they walked in together strong

and feeling comfortable or if they
just kind of ran to their peeps.

That's right.
What was that?

Bronte very quickly separated
from him, didn't she?

Yes.

Anything low carb?

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

I'm just trying to watch my figure
'cause I don't want to let myself go

now that I'm married,
you know what I mean?

Oh, you'll be right.

That's married life, isn't it?
Yeah.

The wedding was drama!
Drama?

So much drama at my wedding.
Shit.

One of my friends, like,
literally came to me

and she was like, "Bronte,
I've got something to tell you."

One of your friends?
One of my friends, yeah.

Apparently, a girl
who's friends with my friend

was talking to him before the show,
made up all this drama.

Yeah, about how he's gonna continue
a relationship on the outside.

Like, after the show,
that he's not here

for, like, real, genuine reasons.

So, obviously,
I've just been married

and I've just found out
this about my husband.

(MELANCHOLIC ORCHESTRAL MUSIC PLAYS)

What?

Oh.
Oh!

Not already.

Wait, this is one of your friends?

Not anymore.

So, she doesn't trust
the information from that friend...

I think that's what she's saying.

I wonder what he's done to reassure
her that he is trustworthy.

She...she's supportive, which is
kind of all you really need, hey?

That's what you want.

We haven't seen enough of him
in action with Bronte,

but does Harrison

have some sort of ability to work
some issue around so it suits him?

It's alright,
onwards and upwards, babe.

I'm glad you're here.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC PLAYS)

(WOMAN'S VOICE SQUEAKS)

Hi!
Hello.

Hey, guys.

It's Tahnee and Ollie!

Ooh, what a lovely entrance!

Hi.
Hello.

How are you? Harrison.
Nice to meet you.

Nice to see you, man.
You, too.

Youse look great together.

Look at all the hot couples.

Everyone looks really good.

I know, there's beautiful people.

Like, we've just been
getting along so well.

Good!
That makes me so happy.

Layton and Melinda.

Oh, my God!

Holy moly!

I love his arm behind her,

very much signalling to the room,
"We're together."

MELINDA: I forgot there was boys.

How you going?
Ollie. Nice to meet ya.

And that's the thing, keep in mind,

the women in this group have not met
the men of this group.

That's it.

(CHEERING AND WHISTLING)

Hey!

Hey.
Alyssa and Duncan.

Oh!
Oh, Alyssa and Duncan.

Walking in strong.

My angel!
Oh!

You're getting better-looking
every time I see you.

Mate, I don't know about that.

The matches are great.

I feel like there are some really
good people that are together.

Like, so many people
are getting along,

and that's just really, really nice
to hear because I think we're...

I think we're good.
I think we're going great.

I think we're in a...

If you can't tell, I feel good.

I think...I'm feeling great.
Yeah.

Couple goals.

Couple goals, whoo!

No!

Oh, come on, man,
it's not a bloody hickey.

I was assaulted by a razor.

And I offered to cover it up
with some concealer but...

I was like, you know what,
it's a battle scar.

It's a battle scar.

So, we've got super happy,
super happy.

Wait, who's yours?
In the green.

Not so happy?

I'm not unhappy
but I'm not ecstatic.

It's just been really emotional.

The wedding was beautiful,

but I was just saying to Lyndall
there was so much drama.

It was very dramatic.
It's a lot.

It's just a lot, babe.

(INTENSE MUSIC PLAYS)

Hey!
(WOMAN SQUEALS)

Hey!

Melissa and Josh.
Wow.

What do you think
about that entrance?

Well, it was separate at first
and then she reached for him.

Yes.
Didn't she?

Well, he is way shyer than she is.

Her personality
is just so much more...

That's part of, you know,
their balancing out.

Yeah.

My hope for them is that she can
really bring Josh out of his shell.

Yes.

Are we all happy?
We're happy.

You're happy?
Yes.

Are you?
Uh, yeah.

Oh, my God!

I reckon, I got jackpot, girls.

Melissa mentioned at the hen's that
she wanted, like, Gladiator or Thor.

And I went, err, yeah!

And, uh, I wouldn't call Josh Thor.

I just went like this,
I just went, "Slow down!"

But he does look like
he could pick her up.

Hey!
Hey, guys!

Oh! Hello!

Caitlin and Shannon.

Big smiles.

Hello!

Come around here, big Josh.
Boys!

How are ya?
Good, mate.

I think Shannon's
a lover of the bro.

Yes!

Wait, this is serious.

Sorry, you'll have to repeat
yourself but I didn't hear it.

Oh...

Lyndall, she's got cystic fibrosis.
Oh, wow!

Um...

That's a curveball, man.

Yeah, but she's on this new drug

which has boosted everything
back up.

These drugs,
they've really helped her out.

Her lung capacity's back to, like,
90, 95% which is awesome...

She's probably got better lungs
than me.

What I love about the group right
now is they're just sitting with it.

They are.

And being supportive of him.
As grown-ups.

Yeah.

They've matched you guys
for a reason.

Yeah.

(ALL LAUGH)

Oh, my goodness.

Happy?
Happy?

Yeah.

Winnin'?
Mm, yeah.

You?
Yeah.

(MUSIC RACES)

I am feeling nervous.

I didn't think I would but, like,
as it's getting closer, I am.

It's sad because it would've been
really beautiful to have him,

like, yeah, right here,
holding my hand.

But, instead, I feel like I'm just
gonna be like, "What's going on?

"Why are you on your own?"

And I don't want to throw him
under the bus.

So, yeah.

It really sucks.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

You know, 'cause we're all on
cloud nine, right,

we're all working out great.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

(WOMEN GASP)

Hello!
Hey!

Oh, no.
Hello.

Hey!
What?

Ooh, what's happened?

LADIES: Oh!

Oh!

Claire's alone.

Claire's come in solo.

Where is Jesse?

(JOHN WINCES)

Coming up...

I don't want to put you guys
on the spot.

No, I do.

Dinner is served.

Oh, kill me.

Kill my arse.

We want to hear
what's going on, bro.

She's a loud person, right?

And I said...
"Shush. Can you shush?"

Oh, my God!

Claire's always talking, right?

Always talking this.

Always commenting that.

Ra-ra-ra-ra!

Hectic.

And later...

Oh, OK.

So, what are you doing here?

Um...

..Melinda turns the table
on Harrison.

I want to find love.
Do you?

Melinda's absolutely
backed him into a corner.

I call bullshit.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES)

(SUBDUED MUSIC PLAYS)

(WOMEN GASP)

Oh, no!

(SHARP GASPS)
Yeah.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)
What?

Ooh. What's happened?

LADIES: Oh!
Oh!

Claire's come in solo.
Where is Jesse?

Do you want a drink?
Let's go get you a drink.

My heart is racing.

There's no really other way
to explain it.

If you're walking in solo,
something has gone horribly wrong.

It speaks volumes, doesn't it?

Hi, guys.
Greek goddess.

I am freaking out.

Is he still coming a bit later?
I hope so.

Do you want to sit down?
Breather?

Yeah, let's sit down.

So, I'm sure you obviously
want to know.

The wedding day was great.
OK.

We vibed. He was emotional.
We got along. We laughed.

And then it kind of started,
I guess,

at the airport
going to our honeymoon.

We were in, like, the book shop and
we were, like, having such a laugh.

We were talking, like,
with the titles of the books,

and saying funny sentences
and laughing,

and then he's like, "Can you shush?

"You're, like, really loud."

And I was like...
What?

He shushed her?
He shushed her.

Mm-hm.

Ay, Jesse.

We had, like,
the honeymoon honesty box

and he started to, like,
mock my voice and be like...

Oh!

Yeah, he's like, "Oh, my God,
look at the whales.

"Oh, my God, look at the ocean.
Oh, my God, look at the sunset."

That's not on.

He did not come and speak to me,
not even as a human,

to say, like, "Are you OK?"

Hooley...

If it's you that's upset, not him,
why would he not want to...?

Well, I didn't know this
until today,

but he basically said,
"Well, I don't chase girls."

(ALL GASP)

Wow!
That is a bad look.

Incredibly disappointing from Jesse.

Yeah.

Yeah, a little bit
low-key freaking out.

Like, I didn't know if
he was gonna be here.

It's OK, breathe, breathe.

Claire is such a strong,
beautiful person,

and she's trying, she's showing up.

I just want the best for everybody,

and, seeing her like this,
it makes me really sad.

Anyway...
I'm so sorry.

I am so sorry.
That's alright.

Hey, hey!

(SQUEALING AND LAUGHTER)

Sorry we're late.

(EXCITED CHATTER)

Sandy and Daniel.

How beautiful are they!

Oh, huge smiles!

Great entrance!

How are you, man?
Good!

What's happening, brother?

Big energy boost.
Yeah.

It's just gone to another level,
hasn't it?

This whole atmosphere.

Hello!
Hey!

Janelle and Adam!

It's Adzy!

Oh, my God, this is crazy!

What's going on, bro?

Very confident.

With all sorts of flow.

Did you see these two,
just, you know?

Introduce me to the boys.

Come on. Come over.

Everyone here is pretty, like,
not pretty, really happy.

Yeah.

Like, they knew, like, instantly,
they think they've found their one.

Not everyone's here yet.
There's one more.

Jesse...
Where is Jesse?

I don't know if
he's gonna come, mate.

Where is Jesse?

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS)

Nervous about walking in by myself.

I wish I was walking in with Claire.

I keep looking at the door, I keep
looking at the door, like, oh!

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

In the back of everyone's mind,
they're gonna be like, "He's a jerk.

"He's done something wrong."

I think I'm walking into
a losing scenario.

Oh, no!

Coming in, oi, oi!

Hey!

Ooh!

Jesse is here.
Here's Jesse.

Oh, Jesse!

What's happening, beautiful man?
Hey, man, good to see ya.

Lookin' dapper, mate.

Oh, see, he came, he came.

I'll let him say hi to everyone.
Yeah.

Nice to meet you, Jesse,
love the hair.

Yeah!

Cool pirate vibes!

(WILD LAUGHTER)

Nah, wait for him to come to you.

Wait for him to come to you.

My heart is racing.

Yeah, I don't really know what to do
right now

because he won't look for me
across the room,

he won't make eye contact with me
or show me that he'd seen me.

Which one's your partner,
is she here?

I haven't seen everyone, you know?
Her name's Claire.

But not surprised
'cause Jesse doesn't chase girls.

Do you know what?
Yeah.

Yeah.

Here's Claire making the effort,

getting him a beer,
extending the olive branch.

Yeah.

Is it gonna work?

We can go over together.

You can give him the beer.
I'll say, "We got you a beer."

I'll say, "We got you..."

OK, ready?

I love you and I am proud of you
for facing this.

Do you want me to do it?
No?

You should face it
and you can walk away

knowing that you did
what you could, OK?

(FRAUGHT MUSIC PLAYS)

Thank you.
You're welcome. How are you?

Yeah, good. How are you?
It's a little bit warm, so...

Do you guys want a minute?

Um, I don't...

Nuh.
No?

OK.
Yeah, we're good.

(POIGNANT PIANO MUSIC PLAYS)

Oh, no, the poor thing.

He seems very awkward.

And dismissive.

I think I'm... Am I the last one?

Yeah, you are, yeah.

Good to...
good to finally be here.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

I chased him again.

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

(GLASS DINGS)

Ladies and gentlemen,
dinner is served.

Whoo, yeah.

(EXHALES AUDIBLY)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC PLAYS)

Oh, my God, I can't wait!

Whoo!
Very excited.

How bloody good!

They've put the troublemakers
down the end.

(WOMAN GIGGLES)

I'm getting so pumped.
Alright, here we go.

First dinner party for the year.

Here they come.

It's gonna be super interesting.

Hello!
Hello.

Oh, this is gonna be fun.

This is good, good bunch.

They've sorta set the table.

You know, they've given us an idea
of where some of the cracks are,

and I think now we're going to
see red flags for some of them.

(JESSE GROANS)

You right?
Yeah.

I'm really keen to see how
this tension that's brewing

between Claire and Jesse
is gonna continue tonight.

Of course, we've seen her
make the advance toward him.

She brought him the beer across
and he was pretty cold by response,

so what's gonna happen here?

Is he gonna open up,
have the conversation with her?

Where's it gonna go?

How good is Greece.
Cheers, guys. Cheers, bro.

To the first dinner party.
To the first dinner party.

Cheers!

Cheers!

(ANIMATED CHATTER)

I mean, you could think
that Claire and Jesse

were at two completely different
tables tonight.

Yeah.
There is zero interaction.

There is absolutely
no acknowledgement

that either of them
are sitting next to each other.

It's incredible.

They've completely
frozen each other out.

(LAUGHTER AND CHATTER)

I'm so keen.
Oh, yeah!

Get into it, Harry!
Oh, that looks good!

Adam, do you want some of this?
Yeah, go on, cheers, babe.

Ooh, sorry!
No, no, no!

(LAUGHTER AND CHATTER)

I'm gonna eat so fast.

I'm just that hungry.

Oh, my gosh, is that
a whole bowl of butter?

Oh, pumpkin, stop it!
That was on your list.

Oh, kill me.

Kill my arse.

Chicken?

There's two pieces left in that.

I'm going into this scenario
unequipped mentally

to deal with
the onslaught of bullshit

that I anticipate I will receive.

I can tell you're not
your full self.

He's giving me nothing.

Really?

I thought Jesse was going to offer
Claire some food then and he didn't.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS)

Claire is, like...

..trying to amass...

..you know, teammates.

Well, I mean, it is,
Claire's always talking, right?

But...

..I'm not gonna dump that
on the table

and be like, "Oh, my God,
Claire, duh-nuh-duh-nuh.

"Always talking this, always
commenting that, ruh-ruh-ruh-ruh."

I'm not gonna do that.

Claire's happy to do that with me.

(MUSIC CONTINUES THEN ENDS)

How's things going, man?

Yeah, alright.

You reckon?
'Cause I reckon they're terrible.

Yeah.

Interesting.

How do you really feel?

What's going on in your head?

I don't want to put you guys
on the spot.

No, I do.

I mean...

Christ, don't throw the poor guy
under the bus.

JESSE: What was the question?

How are you feeling?

Um...

I'm feeling like I can accept
that we're not in the best place.

OK.

But that we can still...

..go ahead and have an OK night.

That's how I feel.

I'm pretty sure I said that
to Claire today, yeah.

You did, but you also said
that you don't chase girls.

And that you don't like my loudness,

and who I pretty much am
as a person.

'Cause you're not into people
like me.

So, it's hard for me to accept
that you even like me, really.

(DARK, BROODING MUSIC PLAYS)

He seems completely detached.

Totally detached.

I got told that my totality
is over the top.

(MUSIC RACES)

I got told that I am too strong,
confident, independent for him

and he can't bring to the table
the things that he wants to bring

to the table because I already have
them, and so then he would feel...

..like, I believe you used the word,
was a pussy or needy.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

And then that was that.

And I've kind of been faced...
given nothing since.

My first thing when
I'm under pressure is to freeze.

(VOICE STRAINS)

Too much pressure.

Cannot deal. Cannot compute.

Must freeze.

OK.

What do you think, then, Jesse?

Your turn to speak.

What do you...?

Yeah, without feeling,
like, attacked.

Yeah, Jesse, we're not here...

We want to hear
what's going on, bro.

Here's your chance, Jesse, isn't it?

Jesse, come on, step up.
I mean, come on.

You're in a situation where...
This is your chance.

..you can actually stand up
for the relationship here.

Yeah.

(DISQUIETING MUSIC PLAYS)

Like, how do I wiggle myself
out of this one?

(SOMBRE PIANO MUSIC PLAYS)

What do you think, then, Jesse?

Your turn to speak.

What do you...?

Yeah, without feeling,
like, attacked.

Yeah, Jesse, we're not here...

We want to hear
what's going on, bro.

No-one's gonna judge.
Just have your voice.

Well, the wedding was amazing.

It was really, really good.

And I think the first point
for me where I knew that...

..you know, this...

I'm about to enter
challenging territory here...

..when we were in the airport
about to jump on the plane.

And we were in a bookstore, we were
making jokes about the books...

It was great, it was funny.
Mm, mm.

And I noticed Claire,
as far as I'm concerned,

was talking pretty loudly.

And I said, "Let's..."

"Shush. Can you shush?"

ADAM: Shit.

Like, what do you mean
by her loudness?

Like, that's just who she is.

(SOMBRE MUSIC PLAYS)

By now, I'm noticing who's my enemy
and who is on my side.

Let's hear your story,
no commentary.

Keep goin'.

Bronte is 100% the enemy.

I would rather have a date
with my toaster in the bathtub

than have to listen to her speak.

Um, so, then we went onto the plane
and, once again...

And we were having a great
conversation, it was going fine.

And I just knew the row in front,

the row behind and probably two rows
in front and the second row behind,

there is no way that they could
not hear what Claire was saying.

She's...

Claire's just...

She's a loud person, right,

and I'm not attacking you,
that's just who you are.

I'm loud.

Yeah. I am the way I am.

I'm not drawn to loud people,
ostentatious, gregarious people,

I just, you know,
it's a bit too much for me.

(WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYS)

And then...

And I don't want to keep
telling Claire to reel it in

'cause I don't want to do that
to you, and, um, so, it's like...

I feel like I'm just, like, going
more and more inside my box here

and just being reserved
and withdrawing

'cause that's absolutely what I did.

And...
(STAMMERS)

I guess, if we just jump from there
to where we are...

..I mean, that's essentially
where we still are.

(POIGNANT PIANO MUSIC PLAYS)

This is about Jesse's fear,
you know,

that is that she's triggering him.

He's really threatened

by this really, you know,
well-developed, accomplished woman.

I think we really do have our work
cut out for us here.

I think this is his pattern.

When you have an awkward situation,

I think you're gonna get
a guy that retreats...

..and she's left to kind of try
and chase and understand it.

(WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYS)

Um, so there's three girls
and then my brother is the youngest.

Yeah.
I was the oldest.

I was the poster child.
I never did anything wrong.

And what do you do?

So I'm actually
an oral health therapist,

which is a little different.
Ol...?

And I was like...
Oh, yeah, I'm that, too.

Come see me.

Not an old hip therapist.

No, oral health therapist.
Oh, OK.

Am I not hearing
(BLEEP) things properly?

No...

How are things going with you guys?

But...

Hey, Mel...

Really?
Yeah.

Ugh, brace yourself, Mel,
here we go.

At the hen's party, me and Melissa,

we clashed a lot with our, like,
opinions and values and views.

You are not?
Probably not.

Wow!

Are you serious?

You are really not gonna have sex

on your first night of
being married to someone?

No, I don't think so.

(DEEP SIGH)

That's OK, you know what?

That's it.

You know, like...

She actually did give
some sound advice.

Give it time.

Attraction can grow,
connection can grow

and get, like, close enough to see
if Layton and I can ignite a spark.

Let me tell ya.

Nothing.

(BOTH LAUGH)

MELISSA: Uh...

Do you want to hear about
our wedding?

Yeah.

One of Bronte's friends got
a message from a girl I was seeing,

like, before coming into this,

and this girl was essentially
jealous that I was coming

onto the show and jealous of the
fact that I was marrying Bronte...

..and essentially made up this story
about me that we were going to be

in a relationship and, like, she
was waiting for me on the outside.

ALYSSA: Wait, what?

At our wedding.

Someone tried to ruin our wedding.

The whole Harrison and Bronte
situation,

I didn't get a chance
to hear what happened.

So, she essentially
tried to derail our wedding

via one of Bronte's friends
as proxy.

I thought there was
a bit of bullshit going on.

Like, we don't know the whole truth.

Bronte, she's a beautiful person.

I can see Bronte
is not in a good place.

I don't know what is going on.

Yeah, Harrison has a lot
of explaining to do.

No secrets, no bullshit.

I'm gonna speak up.

(GLASS DINGING)

I'm gonna start it.

(GLASS DINGING)

(FRAUGHT MUSIC PLAYS)

(GLASS DINGING)

(GLASS DINGING)

(DINGING CONTINUES)

(MUSIC BUILDS THEN FADES)

Sorry, that's just me.

I just want to make sure that Bronte
is OK 'cause you're really far away.

Hi, babe. Yeah!

Aw!
Oh, my gosh, yes!

No, like, literally, are you OK?
No, I'm fine.

Promise.
I also just want to, um...

I mean, no pressure but, like,
I would love to hear your story.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS)

Uh, which...which story?

Oh, just from the wedding.

(HARRISON MUTTERS NERVOUSLY)

Open-minded, open-minded.

Oh, look, the overall wedding
was actually incredible.

(EMOTIONAL MUSIC PLAYS)

And, as I've said to Bronte before,

when she walked down the aisle,
she literally took my breath away.

You know, I just thought
she was absolutely stunning.

Yeah, it just was such
an amazing day for me.

I just had so much fun.

All my friends and family, and then,
unfortunately, this, um...

(SINISTER MUSIC PLAYS)

You know, I...

I had a single life,
you know, coming into this

where, you know,
I was dating around.

That's just...
It's just who I was.

And, um, unfortunately, part of
that life followed me in here.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

A girl I was seeing
who knew I was doing this

basically sent
one of Bronte's friends

who was attending the wedding
a message

about the fact that we'd
been seeing each other,

and essentially lied that we were
gonna continue a relationship

on the outside while I was in here.

Oh, my God!
No way!

Is this legit?
This is legit!

Like, all this absolute crap.

Oh, my God!

Hectic!

Did she stay for the wedding or were
you just like, "You gotta go"?

I'm not buying
Harrison's side of this story.

(PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYS)

I just don't think girls
make this stuff up about guys.

She didn't just mess up my day,
she messed up Harrison's day.

So, she was your friend, right?
She was my friend.

So, do you think her intentions
were to hurt you?

No, I feel like her intentions

were five minutes of fame based on
bringing a scandal to our wedding.

Why would you want to ruin that
for two people?

I don't understand.
Absolutely.

I'm so confused because
I've never met a person

that would do that on someone's
wedding day just for attention.

You know, just thinking about
the day actually gets me emotional.

I definitely think
there's more to this story.

I just...

I don't trust him.

I don't think she should
trust him just yet.

Two people can really
find each other, you know?

I think there should be
more questions,

more digging,
getting to the bottom of this.

I want to make this marriage work.

I have no problem being committed.

I've decided to take him
for face value.

Cheers to that.
Here's to trust.

To trust.

Guys, and so...
Cheers!

Cheers.

What is happening right now?

Like, am I at
a different dinner party?

I'm literally sitting there, like,

am I the only one seeing
what the hell's going on?

But it's the fact that
it come from my friend,

I was like, "What the (BLEEP)?"

HARRISON: It was pretty rough.
It was pretty rough.

It's like Harrison has gone around

and sprinkled some Harrison bullshit
into every single drink,

and everyone's drinking it
like Harrison's the man.

Bronte actually pulled me aside,

had, like, the level head to say,
"What's the story?"

And then said,
"I'm choosing to trust you."

It's frustrating me
as a female to hear

that it's so easy for Bronte
to be OK with this story

that's so alarming.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Nuh, red flag.

Yeah, but, if someone's like,

"Oh, we were gonna continue this
throughout the show and that..."

I sent her a very strongly worded
text message

that I'm never seeing her again,

and deleted her number
in front of Bronte.

Yeah, but, before, surely before
the show, you did that, though.

You told her, like, "We're off"?

You know, um...

She knew what I was doing.

Yeah, but did you cut it off
with her?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC RACES)

You know, I...

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS)

I sent her a very strongly worded
text message

that I'm never seeing her again,

and deleted her number
in front of Bronte.

Yeah, but, before, surely before
the show, you did that, though.

You told her, like, "We're off"?

You know, um...

She knew what I was doing.

Yeah, but did you cut it off
with her?

Well, like,
I didn't know how much...

how forceful I needed to be
about it.

Like, I'm getting married.
Like, how much more...?

Are you serious?

Wow, Melinda's lowering
the boom here, isn't she?

Yeah.

Really dropping the hammer
and keeping him accountable,

and I don't know how many people
have actually done that to him.

So far, nobody,
I don't think, tonight.

You know, I...

Oh, babe, babe.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

He's openly admitted that,
one week prior to coming in here,

he was sleeping with someone.

It just doesn't make sense.

When you apply for the show.

What?

I don't appreciate
being attacked like that.

Who I was before I came into this

has absolutely no bearing
on my decisions now,

and I don't feel the need
to answer for that to anyone.

I have no problem meeting women,
I just, for some reason,

hadn't found what
I was looking for out there.

I feel like we all did because
our story aligns with our truth...

(BLOWS RASPBERRY)

Like...
(STAMMERS)

Mel's put her two cents in
where it didn't belong,

and no-one asked for her opinion.

It doesn't make sense to me

but, I mean, you're not my husband,
but it doesn't make sense to me.

Melinda's absolutely
backed him into a corner...

She's done really well.
..and given him some home truths.

And do you know what?

He hasn't got an answer.
No.

And, of course, we'd like
an explanation to that, as well.

Of course.
Absolutely.

I call bullshit.

I've been in a situation before

where I've dealt with a guy
like Harrison,

heard that bullshit, things don't
add up, girls telling me things.

It happens a lot to us females,

so I do have advice for Bronte
and it's run.

Fast.

It doesn't...
It doesn't make sense.

But, again, it doesn't need
to make sense to me.

Totally heard Melinda,

and it makes me think, like, is half
the things that this girl said true?

I'm...
(STAMMERS)

I'm just confused.

At the end of the day, like,

it is something that obviously
does play on my mind

in terms of the conversation...

There's things that...

There's things that have come up
for me that have played on my mind.

Yeah, but, before today,
when I literally haven't spoken.

I feel like I've been essentially

giving you the space
that you asked for.

And I appreciate that,

but look how good it is now
that I have had that space.

I just...

I want you to show me that
you're in this as much as I am.

Um...

Oh, now he's asking her
to prove herself.

You don't need to show her...

Wow!

Wow, he's completely
flipped this on its head.

He's asking Bronte
to prove herself to him

when he's the one
with the partner on the outside.

Like, emotionally, I'm giving you
as much as I possibly can right now.

Which, but you're not
giving anything right now.

We don't talk,
we haven't seen each other.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

I just want you to show me
that you want this.

Like, I'm here...
I'm still here.

That really should be
a question that Bronte's...

Exactly!
..asking him.

He's flipped it.

He's flipped the script.

But I'm giving you everything
that I possibly can right now.

I'm not saying that I'm not
gonna eventually give you more,

but I'm not gonna
rush into things...

Like, I don't...

Just do that, honestly.

(DARK, STORMY MUSIC)

(BRONTE SIGHS LOUDLY)

I feel like the focus was solely on
what happened at the wedding,

and it's called my character
into question

and why I'm here into question.

I'm not... I'm not sorry.

I'm really not.

Like, I was a single guy
and I had options.

I'm not gonna apologise about that.

(DISTANT CHATTER)

(POIGNANT MUSIC PLAYS)

I clicked a lot with Bronte
on, you know, the hen's night,

and was really hoping
for the best for her.

I could see Bronte was by herself
and she just looked really upset.

(POIGNANT MUSIC CONTINUES)

Yeah, we'll go outside.

Now I feel like I'm the only one

putting any effort
into the relationship.

I'm calling her on it and
she's like, "I just need space."

He's cast himself
in the victim role.

That's not good enough for me.
Like...

And he's now saying to her,
"You need to make it up to me."

Yeah.
"Prove yourself to me."

It makes no sense.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

(MOROSE MUSIC PLAYS)

Yeah, we'll go outside.

He just never listens to
anything I (BLEEP) say.

He just makes me cry all the time.

He just doesn't listen.

It is heartbreaking watching her
be like that and feel like that.

It just seems like really
manipulative, gaslighting behaviour.

(FRAUGHT MUSIC PLAYS)

"I'm gonna break you down
to your lowest point,

"and then I'm going to give you
a little bit here,

"try to recoup myself so that
you essentially feel crazy."

Harrison is giving me
major (BLEEP)boy vibes.

He essentially had another girl.

He found out he was going to be

seeing this other girl
whilst he was seeing you.

You found out that he was supposedly
gonna get this other girl pregnant

because, oh, my God, what a scandal.

There's not really
any communication.

We don't do anything together.

And...

(SHARP GASP)

Ugh!
No, no, he did not say that.

At this point in time,
I'm not a fan of Harrison.

I'm really trying super hard
not to come across as pushy.

He had... He goes, "I have...

"I had a crush that I have liked
for a long time

"and we started speaking
the week before I came in."

Then why come?

Why come?
Why come?

Why are you here?
Why are you here?

They think there's some questionable
reasons for Harrison to be here,

and that's something that I am...

I'm very concerned about that.

Yeah, yeah, me, too.

We're gonna have to
hold him accountable.

Absolutely.
I'm looking forward to that.

Let's not forget, tomorrow,
they all move in together.

Right!

So, it is an added layer of
complexity and pressure for them.

Yes.

And the big question is,
how are they gonna handle it?

My brain right now is just, like,
what the (BLEEP)?

I've been bombarded with
all of this information

that I'm still trying to process,

and, every single time
I've tried to move forward,

the wedding comes up again.

It's like one step forward,
ten steps back.

Boys, honestly, like,
I'm just not having a great...

I'm not having a good time.

To me, it's like,
this is too much hard work.

He's not an easy person
to deal with.

(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Yeah, it's, um,
all I've done is cry.

(SNIFFLES)

And not once has he
ever comforted me.

NARRATOR: Tomorrow night...

Oh, my God!
Oh, no way!

Our newlyweds are moving in
to their marital homes.

Oh!

Good time to head.
Oh!

I think this is some bullshit.

But close quarters...

Everything is gonna be fine.

We're screwed.

..prove too much for some.

I literally cannot talk to you.

Like, I need out of this room.

Like, I just can't even look at you.

And...

Are you ready?
No.

Three, two...

Hello, newlyweds.

Oh, no!

Confessions week is back.

God, I already hate this.

Over two epic nights,

the experts will unveil
exciting, brand-new tasks...

Ooh!

You'll be asked to hand over
to your partner your phone.

This feels a bit intrusive.

..probing deeper than ever...

You got this. Take your time.

It's OK.

That must've been really hard.

..leading to jaw-dropping...

That's extremely poor behaviour.

..confessions.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I'm not just gonna lie.
I can't do it.

I don't know where that leaves me.

(MUSIC CONTINUES THEN FADES)
