(MUSIC CONTINUES)

- Hello! (GATES CREAK)

- Hey! - Martin! - Martin!

- Whoo! Como estas?

- Yeah, man. - I knew you were Fboy. - No, you didn't.

- It was obvious. (CHUCKLES) Sorry, brother. Pretty obvious.

- Pleasure to see you, bro. - You too, my friend.

- So, what happened? - Um...

Kiera just kinda eliminated, cos she said that I wasn't really being honest.

- Rough.

- What were you lying about? - I wasn't lying about anything, apart from being an Fboy.

So, yeah, she kinda missed out on a great opportunity to get some great South American...

heritage.

(GENTLE ACOUSTIC GUITAR MUSIC)

- Oh, we're not a cult. We just love practising niceness.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

Oh, there's no leader.

- Is that enough pressure? - Harder. - Yes, ma'am.

- I mean, if a bunch of guys in their early 20s wanna do nice things for me, then...

well, who am I... to extinguish that flame?

(SINISTER MUSIC)

- # I like them boys. I like them boys. #

(SMOOTH ELECTRONIC MUSIC)

- # Don't touch me.

- I wonder what's in store for today, boys.

You know, I'm looking forward to seeing the girls again, though.

- Well, better faces than the boys. - Oh yeah. Definitely. - (CHUCKLES) Yeah, yeah.

- How did your... You had a chat with...

- With Kiera, yeah, yeah. - How'd that go? - Nah, it went well.

- Are you happy with the conversation that you managed to get across?

- Yeah, yeah. I think so.

Yeah, yeah. - Similar vibe with me and Coco.

You know, I had a― I think I had a bit of a longer chat with Coco.

Went on for, like, maybe three or five minutes.

- (SNIGGERS)

- When it comes to dating and picking up ladies, I'm often successful.

I come from Rotorua, west side, yo fuckin', like...

There's no way I'm intimidated by anybody here.

I think I'm kind of confident with how things went with Coco yesterday

and definitely gonna pursue that angle.

- Got some competition amongst yourselves if you're both going for Coco.

- Uh, yeah. Yeah, maybe, maybe.

- True.

(INTENSE MUSIC)

(RELAXED REGGAETON MUSIC)

- Can we also talk about the new boys coming in as well? - Oh my God, yeah.

- Cos that was a shock.

- What are we thinking about them? Like...

- Well, like, off the bat, like, I thought Will was pretty cute.

Like, his― it's just his eyes for me. Like, the big blue eyes.

- Initially, my eyes were kind of on― Is it Mike? - Yeah.

- Um, and then he may have stood up. (CHUCKLES)

(ROMANTIC MUSIC DWINDLES)

And I was like, 'Oh my God!'

He's got to be the shortest guy here ― like, for me, cos I'm obviously the tallest girl.

- How are we feeling about Herbie? Did you have a chat to him?

- Yeah, so, he was really, really lovely. And I do think he's a nice guy.

I'm getting those vibes. So, no, he looked really, really good.

- Kiera!

(CURIOUS MUSIC)

- Bro, and then going into elimination ― 'meh, meh, meh'.

- Someone decides to stab us in the back.

- Cos Taynen's just pulled me.

Apparently, you guys are talking about girls disrespectfully, all three of you.

- Wow, OK. - I don't get it, bro,

cos, like, he mainly focused his anger on you.

- Even I got emotional last night. Fuck.

- Yeah, man. You looked pretty cut up, bro.

- Had a little bit of a moment. Probably had a few tears coming out of my eyes, but...

- Definitely some emotions involved in it.

(CONTEMPLATIVE MUSIC)

- So, how are you feeling after last night, T? It was a big night for you, eh?

- Big scenes of emotions for me last night.

Definitely opened up... as to how I was feeling about a few of the boys.

When you get guys like that, when you try and connect

and they give you nothing back and they're just all... (GRUNTS)

it's just, like, bro...

- It sucked seeing you put up in the bottom two

when you're the one trying to let Kita know, like, what's going on.

- Yeah, that was a big spanner in the works, eh.

- Do you think Sam just talked his way out of it? Like...

- 100%. Yeah. When they went away into that room...

and all that, and he saw me walk past, he just... gave me that look.

- Sam, with the glasses, just full body towards him, like...

With the Bedsheet Boys, I'm on the fence about them.

I've overheard things from other boys and all that sort of stuff,

so I don't think they're here as nice guys.

I think, you know, they could be here for some money.

- Obviously, he's trying to come off as intimidating. - Yeah, definitely.

- The girls might only be seeing their best sides. - Yeah.

- We see the other sides, and I guess that's why it's, like,

all we can do is relay the information that we experience,

but they might not believe it, because they don't see it.

- And then if you do relay it, you end up on the chopping block.

- Yeah. - (CHUCKLES)

- So, obviously, Zac and Sam ―

they seem to be involved in a lot of drama around the boys. - Yeah.

- Those boys were overheard, especially Logan,

talking, um, badly about women's bodies and girls he had slept with two weeks ago.

- And Logan was like, 'Oh, yeah, had her two weeks ago. Bagged that. She's got a mintbody.'

And they were talking, like, how they'd been with the same woman.

- If multiple sources are saying it, there must be some sort of truth to it, right?

- Yeah. And I don't wanna be...

(CHUCKLES) an idiot and just trust what Sam says.

At this point, I don't really know what to do with Sam.

I'm so torn. I wanna trust him. I wanna believe him.

But I also don't wanna look like the idiot who has just been, like, tricked, you know?

- Intruder alert. - Ohh! - Ohh!

(LAUGHTER)

- You ready for your next surprise?

So, your dates today are going to be...

quadruple dates. (GASPING)

- How many is a quadruple? Is that, like, a clusterfuck or a flustercluck? I was like...

- Tahi, rua, toru, wha ― four, OK? (LAUGHTER)

So you get to pick three guys each to take on this date.

And you're going to be going on some fun activities.

- Ooh!

- Yes. OK? We happy?

Mauri ora.

- See ya soon! - Bye.

- On this date, I'm definitely gonna have to mix it up a little bit.

- Do you guys know who you're gonna take?

- There will definitely be some new guys coming on it. - Yeah.

I definitely need to investigate the guys further for sure.

I'm gonna put my game pants on. I'm gonna try and sniff these Fboys out.

We're gonna make them sweat.

(HIP-HOP MUSIC)

- # Where you at now, baby?

# Holla back now, baby. #

- # Stay for a while, but don't dare cramp my style,

# cos I am the star of the show. #

- Hey, guys. How are we today? - Not too bad, not too bad. - Good. Good.

- I picked...

Zac, Will and Mike.

Obviously, I'm gonna pick Zac. There's a lot of unfinished business.

I picked Will, because Will's nice to look at for sure.

And with Mike, I did a little bit of investigating at the pool party, but I wanna investigateit further.

I wanna be 100% sure that he's an Fboy.

So, today,

I decided to plan a bit of a Kamasutra day.

- Kamasutra. (LAUGHS)

- There's no better position than the downward daddy dog.

All righty. And sit in, like, a little butterfly sit.

(LAUGHS) - I'm pretty well stretched.

- Are you? - Yeah. - Yeah. Jesus.

- I do a lot of stretching and stuff. - Oh.

- I'm feeling confident. I'm a little bit more flexible than most people.

- Oh my God.

- I would like to think that my flexibility impressed Coco.

- And then we're gonna go into...

seal.

Stretching up the back.

(RELAXED R&B MUSIC)

Ooh!

Delish.

OK. And then for the next stretch, grab a partner...

and sit in a straddle. - 'Sup, bud?

- Oh, fuckin' hell.

Um, I...

I'm comfortable.

Ooh. - Lean forward. - Jesus.

- Feel it in the groin?

- (CHUCKLES) Um...

This is not how I saw the first date going.

He's an attractive man.

- I like it. This is good. I like it.

- I'm glad you're enjoying this. - Oh, I'm having a great time.

It's a vibe. Um... Yeah.

Little high five? - (GRUNTS) Agh! (LAUGHTER)

- I think my chances are pretty good with Coco.

None of these guys here are intimidating to me at all, and I'm ready to get my game going.

(POP MUSIC)

- Hey, Kiera. - Hello. How are we today?

- Good, thank you. - Awesome, thank you. - Thank you for joining me.

Take a seat. (LAUGHS) - Thanks for the invite.

- So, today, we're gonna be making cocktails.

Up for the challenge? - Absolutely. - Bring it on.

- Awesome.

So, I brought Herbie on this group date because I wanna see his real personality come out.

I'm hoping once I get a few shots into him that he'll start to loosen up a little bit.

Should we get a shot first, I'm thinking? Start it off right. - 100%.

- Yeah, sounds great. - What do you reckon? Is anyone shot guys?

- Yeah, I am a bit, eh. - I figured I'd bring the tradie on. (LAUGHTER)

Taite is, like, my number one priority.

Like, I feel like I haven't been able to spend that much time with him.

Cheers, guys. - Cheers. - Yeah.

- Oh my God! (LAUGHS)

- Me and Kiera are just a bit like Wi-Fi. Like, I just type in the passcode, and we connect.

(LAUGHS) That was dry, eh! That was so dry!

- Does anyone have any experience in cocktails?

Do you? - Yeah, I'm a bartender. I used to be a bartender.

- Oh, perfect. Well, you can show us how it works, then.

I know I've taken Will out on a one-on-one date,

but I think it's gonna be important to see how he interacts with the other guys.

(ELECTRONIC MUSIC)

My face when he was shaking it ― I was like, 'Oh my God.' (LAUGHS)

There's nothing more attractive than a guy who knows what he's doing.

Oh, that looks so nice!

- Will, he's already done bartending, but that's a bit of him.

- Sorry, boys. Cos I got first pick, I'm gonna pick the prettiest limes too.

- Fuckin' hate cocktails.

- That is good. - It is quite nice, eh. - Yeah, it is good.

- Fuck you, Will.

- # Go on and take your,

# go on and take your time.

- Hey! - Hi.

How are you? - Not too bad.

Bit of volleyball for our date, then, eh? - Yeah. You sound really excited.

- Oh, you know, you got the best three players in the villa here.

- I wanna bring Tom on this date, because he always has a good time.

Cooper ― he's been making a real effort with me, so I wanna give him

the opportunity to kind of have, you know, more time.

OK, let's play volleyball.

- # I been feeling ―

# no doubt in my mind ―

# you the real thing.

- I've come here to make my mark, let my presence known,

try to get Sam to sweat a bit, get him to maybe slip up.

- # You got me wrapped up.

- I woke up this morning. I was really flat ― obviously just everything that happened last night.

Obviously, now that Kita's picked me and I'm here with her, my mood's definitely lifted heaps.

- The date's going so well. It's so funny.

My abs literally hurt, cos I'm laughing so much.

- # Say that I love you tonight.

# Hey! #

- Oh my God, we've done it! Is this the worst time to ask you some questions?

- I don't really wanna give away my game plan.

- That's what you're saying to the boys?

- Ooh! - Oh shit.

- I was planning to talk to you today.

Kind of putting my eggs in one basket with you here.

Out of the girls, I'm most interested in Coco.

She's obviously intrigued, cos I'm here.

I've made her laugh a couple of times.

- (LAUGHS) Hi. - How you doing?

I think there's a bit of a vibe going there.

- I think I'll pass on this one, eh. - What the hell. - Go on!

- Yeah, it's a hard pass. - (LAUGHS)

- Go on. We can't change pages until you do.

- It's literally his cock up against my cock.

- Don't worry about it. - Don't worry about it.

- The worst-case scenario ― one of you guys gets a hard-on. - Nah, next.

(LAUGHTER) Next.

- Fuck off. - You gotta witness this. - This is bullshit.

- (SHRIEKS) - Oh my God! (LAUGHS)

(ROMANTIC SAXOPHONE MUSIC)

- I gotcha, Jack. - Love that!

'Mike ― he's just funny.'

Is that a stiffy? No, I'm just kidding.

- Which one?

- He's genuinely surprising me, and I like that.

(CHUCKLES)

- Oh! - This is gonna be such a hammy stretch.

- Ohh!

- Where's your head sort of sitting at the moment? - Um...

I'm actually really stoked that we have this opportunity.

I'm also trying to see if there's a connection. I really do want to find out.

You keep me on my toes.

- # Smile.

# Yeah.

- Right, Herbie. - Yeah. - You're up next.

- Good luck. - Thanks, bro. We'll need it. - Take the hot seat.

- Fair play to you. - (LAUGHS)

(CLATTERING) - Whoa! - Oh.

Fuck. - What just went on?!

LAUGHS: Like, really?

- What the fuck is this? - Nah, that's it, bro.

- Oh, do you pour it out of there? - Yeah.

- Oh, you put the ice in. - You scoop it up with the cup. - Yeah, OK.

- Taite ― I'm getting nice guy vibes.

Like, this is the first time he's sort of breaking the barrier a little bit. Like, you know,

just even, like, the friendly banter sort of stuff.

- I can look in your beautiful eyes, Taite. - Oh, thanks, bro.

Oh, you're looking cute today, man. - You're looking pretty handsome yourself, really.

- You two are having a wee flirt just then. - No.

God no. - Do I even need to be here? (LAUGHS) - Yeah, can you just vacate?

- I wanna say it to you, but there's just too many people around, eh? - Happy to.

Thought that was pretty cute.

So, Herbie, what do you do? What's your occupation?

- So, I'm studying computer science and stats, and I also teach piano a couple of days a week too.

- Oh wow. - Yeah. - And I noticed you've got

a wee tattoo, the other day, of a piano. Is that...? - Yeah, I've got―

So, it's actually a pianist ― like, someone playing piano.

It's just not done yet. So, it's my favourite piano player,

but his head's missing, cos I'm gonna get― (LAUGHTER)

Adds a bit of character. - Might wanna finish that one off. - Yeah, yeah.

- I'm quite surprised how Herbie's going on this date. Like, yes, he had a wee hiccup.

He spilt the ice, but, like, he's the kind of dorky person

that can just, like, have a laugh about it.

Have a wee cheers to this. Taste test.

- Probably shit.

- He's not sinking into the background. He's holding himself really well in this group date.

(LAID-BACK MUSIC)

(LATIN MUSIC)

- Oi, T. Where are we at? I think it's your go.

- Do you guys have spare pieces? - Yeah. Do you want some? - Yes, please.

- Why? - We're playing tic-tac-toe. - Oh, OK.

- How do we think the dates are going?

- I mean, to be fair, can they really be having as much fun as us,

playing cock rocks? - I don't think so, bro.

- I'm absolutely relieved that I'm not on a date.

If anything, I've just been screwing myself over.

I need to reset.

I need to sit back, relax, you know, take a bit of a tan

and enjoy myself.

- I'm not feeling good at all. I haven't had a lot of chat with Kiera.

Will is 100% the main competition right now, you know? He's had a lot more time than me.

He's the closest with Kiera at this stage.

She could be getting a whole lot of information about me based on speculation.

I'm feeling pretty vulnerable, because Kiera's sitting up there

potentially thinking, 'This guy's bad news.'

- Beautiful. - Masterpiece!

(LATIN MUSIC)

- How is Taynen? - He's all good, to be honest. Yeah. - That's good.

- He's actually― He came out way better

than I thought he was gonna do. - Yep.

- Crashing with you now, eh? - Yeah, he's sleeping next to me now.

- Yeah. - He moved out of their room and stuff and into ours,

just to stay out of it, just cos Sam―

apparently Sam's been a bit intimidating ― just the eyes and stuff.

- Yeah.

- Will, he likes to talk about the other boys,

but I'm not gonna be that guy who's gonna act shady and do that type of stuff.

I'm not here to play games.

- I think I butted heads with Sam at one point. Like, we're pretty civil at the moment.

- Why would you guys butt heads? - Oh, it was just―

He really didn't like the whole bedsheet comment, eh.

- Oh, honestly, Will ―

100% Fboy.

No doubt about it.

- And I guess one thing as well, which I am, like, starting to get a little bit wary of

is I've had, like, multiple people kind of saying about Logan.

- The way he talks about women isn't the way I'd talk about women, sort of thing.

- Yeah. Yeah, OK. - Like his comments on physical appearance.

- Being shady doesn't get you anywhere, so I hope he keeps doing that,

cos I reckon it's gonna fuckin' bite him in the arse in the end.

(SOFT POP MUSIC)

- What do you do again? - Aircraft engineer. - That's right. That's so cool.

- He's the brains in the group, isn't he? - Yeah. That's so fun.

This date has definitely confirmed for me that I feel some sort of connection with all three boys.

I wanna see where our connection can go.

- The other day, we were talking about travel and whatnot. - (SCOFFS)

- Are there any, like, other places you'd wanna go?

- I'm going on a cruise next year in July

with my fam. Um, and... - (SNORTS)

- What? - (CHUCKLES)

At this stage, I just don't think there's much other competition.

I reckon I'll make it to the end with her, for sure.

- You guys are, like, my top three,

I guess, but... - (SCOFFS)

- From looking at him, Sam looks like an Fboy.

But a threat ― definitely not.

(CHUCKLES)

She did say she's here to try something different.

She's had a lot of experience with blokes like him in the past.

Maybe she's keen for a different experience.

- We were trying to work the new guys in it too.

- So, two of them are into Coco, and the other one's into Kiera. (LAUGHS) - Oh. So that...

- Hey, you're our first pick, though, so... - Aw, thanks.

I really like Tom. He's so lovely.

And I can tell he genuinely is a nice guy.

I'm excited to see how it goes with him.

- # Now I'm driving in a fast car.

# Living life in the fast lane, never had a bad pay,

# do it for the... # (MUSIC FADES)

- So, tell me, guys, how are you guys finding your first days?

Is everyone being nice? - Yeah, I'm being nice.

- Everyone being nice to the new guys? - Yeah.

- I'm enjoying, I guess, having multiple connections,

but I need to know

who the nice guys are and who the Fboys are.

What's everyone's body counts?

(HIP-HOP MUSIC)

- Well, you already know mine. - No, I don't.

- Yeah, you asked. - Did I?

- 16. - Are you sure it was me?

- Oh, wait. It might have been the boys. I don't know. (CHUCKLES) - (BLUBBERS LIPS)

And you? - Well, I actually came out of

a seven-year relationship a couple of years ago as well.

But out of respect, I probably wouldn't share that anyway. Just... Yeah.

- Oh my God. This guy is being genuine.

He looks like he would be a mean guy,

but then you actually have a conversation with him, and he's got a sweeter side to him.

Like, he's so, like, genuine, and he's so kind. I wasn't expecting it.

Oh, hi, puppy. What's your body count, baby?

- I stopped counting.

- You stopped counting? - I stopped counting. It's hard. - Ew!

- I mean, like, I've been to Europe and shit. I was single for a long time, so...

- We love a good lad's lad, but there comes a point, you know?

You don't talk about your partner or the girl that you've slept with's bedsheet experience.

You don't spread that. Like, that's the difference between a boy and a man.

A boy will go and gossip. A man will keep that a secret.

Actually, I've got another bone to pick with you. - Mm. Hit me.

- A little birdie told me...

that you and Logan

were talking about...

a girl that Logan slept with two weeks before coming on to here

in a bit of a objectifying and not so nice way.

- Oh, yeah, we were talking about that. He was, um,...

talking about a girl that I was seeing, like, probably, like,

five months ago, six months ago.

- I just liked watching Zac cringe. He does not like this.

- Someone told me that you guys were making comments about her body

and maybe not so...

in a nice way. - Obviously, T is...

I don't even know why he's doing this.

It doesn't really make any sense.

- I had a pretty big heart-to-heart with T last night,

just trying to, sort of, figure things out and what's going on.

I think he's a real genuine, good, earnest person.

I take a quick glance at Zac, and I can see he's just eyeing me up like a dog.

- No, I completely understand. Like, there's lad chat,

but it doesn't need to be said like that about girls.

I want to give him the benefit of doubt, but obviously,

there's that little niggly part of me that's like, 'I don't really trust Zac.'

- What do you usually go for? Like, what are your exes like?

- My exes... So,...

I do tend to have the same sort of...

vibe going on. Like, they are your classic, like, brunette, brown eyes.

Like, you know...

- Spending more time with Kiera is fantastic.

I think I was dead on with my first impressions that she seemed to be really nice person.

I am only worried that I've just come in too late to form a connection.

- So, Herbie tell me ― what are you kind of wanting out of this experience?

- Just find a genuine connection and then see where it goes from there.

I'm not too, like... not too fussed on forcing anything or rushing anything.

- Do you think the other two boys are nice guys or Fboys? - Um...

I feel like Mike's a nice guy, for sure.

Will, like, he confuses me. I don't know about Will. I just don't know.

But of course, like, as I'm a nice guy, of course,... - Are you?

- ...one of the other two must be an Fboy,... - Are you?

- ...so at least one of the other two. Um, I am. I am. Yes.

- All right. - Mm-hm.

- Righto. (LAUGHTER)

- After he heard what happened to Mike, cos he's a little stressed.

I'm a nice guy. I'm gonna stand up. - Are you? What are you?

- Oh, wouldn't you like to know if I'm a nice guy?

- Will is a hard one to figure out. I'm a bit wary of Will.

My gut is saying that Will is an Fboy.

- # Pull up in a...

# Y'all don't know what to do.

# Body's fresh, man. You lookin' at the truth.

# Fly as a bird. You a duck; I'm a goose.

# They give me side eyes, cos they know I got the juice.

# Know I got the juice. #

(LATIN HIP-HOP MUSIC)

- Why did you guys apply to be here on this island?

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

- A friend sent me the link, just cos he knows how I am, and I'm like, 'I'll give it a go.'

Um...

And then when― like, as things progressed, I'm like, 'Oh shit,' like,...

'Yeah, better sort out my morals.'

LAUGHS: You know, like...

(SIREN WAILS)

- You're an absolute Fboy.

I was like, 'Mm-hm.'

Are you satisfied that I've figured out your Fboy status?

(PERCUSSIVE DANCE MUSIC BUILDS)

- # I've got those diamonds. I've got that gold.

# Goin' once, goin' twice, goin' three times. Sold.

- Every pool party, it's a great opportunity to test these guys.

Like, I always have my game plan and strategy, and I'm gonna use it at every opportunity.

- # You don't understand? Let me tell you again.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

- Walking into the pool party, I really wanna try and talk to some of the nice guys I'm vibing with.

I want to ignore Sam. I don't wanna give him too much attention.

(MUSIC DWINDLES)

- We're expecting it to be a normal pool party. I'm like, 'Is this an elimination?'

- Hang on. Where...

Where is everyone? Where...

(TENSE MUSIC)

And then it sunk in. I'm like,

'Oh my God. Those are all the boys that we took on our dates.'

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

What's going on?

- Hello, ladies.

Notice anything different right now?

There's a little less testosterone in the air right now, isn't there?

For this elimination,...

it's just these guys...

who you had your dates with.

- We're all shitting bricks. We're so terrified.

You just don't know what's gonna happen.

- Three of these boys

are going to have the chance to have extra time...

with you.

(TENSE MUSIC)

And three of these boys...

will be...

eliminated.

(INTENSE MUSIC)

- The boys that I've taken on my date, like, I don't wanna send them home.

I would say these are the top three guys I'm feeling at this moment

in time, and I have to get rid of one of them.

I really― Like, I'm fucked off.

(TENSE MUSIC)

- For this elimination,...

it's just these guys...

who you had your dates with.

- I'm shocked, and I'm angry, because I've taken three guys on a date

who I do genuinely feel like they all have a chance of being with me,

and to know that I'm losing one of them, I'm pissed off.

- This shit's fuckin'... fucked.

(TENSE MUSIC)

- Brutal, bro.

- (EXHALES HEAVILY) Fuckin' hell.

- Ladies, I'm gonna ask you to pick the boy who impressed you the most on your date today.

He's going to be safe. Plus, he'll get extra time with you.

Kita.

- Um, OK. The boy I'm going to pick to spend a little extra time with

is Sam.

- Sam, you're safe.

(INTROSPECTIVE MUSIC)

Kiera.

- For me, this is really hard, because I had good dates with, I mean, all of the boys.

I couldn't have picked a better group. (CHUCKLES)

But I think the boy that impressed me the most...

was Will.

- Will, you're safe.

- Thank you.

- Coco.

- (SIGHS)

The guy that I would like

to pick is...

(TENSE MUSIC)

...Zac.

(TENSE MUSIC BUILDS)

- Zac, you're safe.

Boys, if your name wasn't called, come and face the firing squad.

(TENSE MUSIC)

- Good luck, bro.

- # Oh, my eyes...

- You good, girl? - Yeah, I'm good.

I am in a super tricky position.

I've got two great guys here. You know, Taite on one hand ― I've known him for longer.

But, like, the spark's been quite slow.

And then, on the other hand, we've got Herbie.

Like, he's made a really quick connection with me.

Wasn't expecting this today at all.

- Kita, who are you eliminating?

- The boy I'm going to eliminate is...

(TENSE MUSIC)

...Cooper.

Um, Cooper, I did pick you only because, yeah,

I do kind of get Fboy vibes...

from some things, and just― if I'm putting up to it,

like, Tom, obviously, is just so lovely and a great guy.

I do think Tom's probably more of a nice guy than you are.

- Kiera, who are you going to eliminate?

(TENSE MUSIC)

- The boy that I'm going to eliminate is...

Um...

(FORLORN MUSIC)

Herbie.

- One of our intruders.

- I picked you for a date, because, you know, I wanted to get to know you. But...

obviously, time isn't on our side.

- Oh, I just think it's...

unlucky, more than anything else. I think if we had a bit more time,

maybe we could have got along a bit better.

To be honest, I'm pretty annoyed. Coming into this, my biggest fear was just not having a chance,

and I felt like that was actually literally what has just happened.

- Coco.

Which of these boys are you eliminating?

- (SIGHS)

Uh, based on our conversations today,

um, and just in a short amount of time,

I...

(TENSE MUSIC)

...would like to

eliminate...

Will.

Sorry, Will. You just remind me of my ex too much, and exes are exes for a reason.

- It's like, really? You had a three-second conversation.

You just met me, and you're gonna compare me to your ex? That's shallow.

- Was it one of the main reasons? - It wasn't one of the main reasons, no, but, yeah.

At this point, Will's just giving me the ick.

I'm 100% sure that Will's an Fboy, so the decision's pretty easy for me.

- OK, boys who are safe,

go take a seat.

You live to tell the tale to the other boys back at the villa.

- Boys.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

- Nice to meet you.

- Cooper.

The moment of truth.

What did you come to this island as?

- I came to this island...

as an Fboy. You were right.

- Yep. - I did find a good connection

and sad that we couldn't continue that on.

- Herbie, you're up.

- Um, came in as a nice guy.

- Anyone surprised by that? - WOMEN: No.

- Will 2.0.

What did you come here as?

- I came on as an Fboy.

- WHISPERS: Yes!

- Oh, you like that one?

- It's my first time getting an Fboy.

Fboy, pipe down. You're not that sly.

See ya, Will!

- Herbie.

- Yes. - Nice guy.

Nice try.

Cooper.

Will 2.0.

Fboy,

F-bye.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

- # Finish, live fast,

# come apart till we crash.

# Finish, live fast. #

- What's happening, boys? - Oh, 'sup, boys? - Welcome back.

- Hey, fellas. - What did you guys get up to?

- Yeah, this is― this is a sit-down kind of talk.

- Holy...! (LAUGHTER)

- Jesus! - You all right, bro?

- Oh dude!

- (LAUGHS)

Fuckin' nailed it.

- And we get to the villa ― surprise elimination.

- No! - Yeah, bro.

- Fuck off. Really? - Wait, what?

- There was only three guys, so they had to choose two of them to stand up on the choppingblock.

So there was only gonna be one safe one automatically.

- Cooper's not gone home? - Cooper's gone home.

- Nooo! - Cooper!

- No! - Oh, I'll tell you what, boys.

Today, I've never been shitting my pants more. (LAUGHTER)

- Fuck, I was sitting here today going, 'Fuck, the new guy got picked over me,' but, like...

(LAUGHTER)

But I'm glad I stayed here, eh. (LAUGHTER)

There's a sigh of relief, because that could have been me up on that chopping block.

Three less dudes in the competition is exactly what I need.

- Wait, so what happened then? Like, cos you three are back. Where are the others?

- They're having a day ― Zac, Will and Sam.

- Sammy, yeah. They're all out there having a date with their lovelies.

(RELAXED MUSIC)

- What just happened? - Yeah, I'm shocked. I was not expecting that.

- Yeah. - You happy I picked you for a wee one-on-one?

- Always happy you pick me.

How come I landed myself in the pool with you? - (CHUCKLES) Um...

Coming into this date, I just feel like there's a bit of awkwardness between me and Sam.

I really just need to discuss, you know, last elimination.

- Lay it on me.

- I do wanna talk about yesterday. - Mm-hm.

- You sitting at elimination and being like, 'I'm gone. I'm done. I'm gone.'

- Yeah. - Obviously, it made me really upset.

- Yeah.

I was just absolutely shocked when the eliminations came up.

Taynen stayed, so that drove me up the wall as well.

- I guess, past relationships for me, like, guys just do that.

Like, they literally are like,

'Nah, I'm out of it, and, like, don't talk to me about it.

- I would talk to you. It's just, like, obviously, it's hard to try and―

- The heat of the moment. I know. - And just with everything,

it's just like― I think we were all just over it. - Yeah.

And I wouldn't want you to give it up so easily too.

- Nah. Like, obviously, I'm still here after all that. - No, I know that.

- If anyone was gonna go up, it should've been me. Like, come on.

- If there's something like that, I'd rather you just talk to me about it. - I'll come and talkto you.

- Thanks. (BOTH LAUGH)

Even though me and Sam have, you know, gotten on better terms,

I still feel like we need to get deeper. Like, I really need to

work out, like, if he's gonna be a good potential partner for me.

How many, like, relationships― Cos you said you're a relationship guy.

How many have you actually been in?

- Uh... - The fact it's taking you that long to count.

- Four proper ones. - I guess that's not bad.

- And I've just been single for the last eight months.

- How long? - Eight months. - I thought it was a year.

- No, like, eight months to a year. Yeah, like, roughly, so...

- Interesting, interesting. OK. - Yeah.

- I'm still hesitant towards him, because some things he says

does remind me of, like, Fboys I've seen in the past.

So it's really just navigating that. My head's still scrambled.

I really don't know whether to trust him or not. It's so hard.

- # I don't wanna wait till the last call...

# to tell you how I feel about you.

- There goes the cock. (CHUCKLES) - The what?

- The... The cock. - The cock. (ROOSTER CROWS)

(CHUCKLES) There you go. - Thank you.

- BOTH: Cheers.

- Stoked to kind of get a bit more one-on-one with you. - Yeah.

Well, did you think... I was gonna save you?

You felt pretty comfortable back there. - Nah. I was shitting bricks.

- Really? - Yeah, I never know what's going through your head, eh.

- Really? Am I that hard to figure out?

- It's just women. You never know what they're thinking. - Women!

Hey, what about men?

I wanna see more effort from Zac. I want to physically see

that he's putting in an effort, that he genuinely cares about me.

And I wanna see

no more comments made about women's bodies.

That's for sure.

Do you feel like you're holding up your end of the bargain? - With?

- The body stuff.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- Yeah, for sure. - Yeah. - I've knocked that right out. 100%.

Me and Sam, all we do is just talk about you. (CHUCKLES) You and Kita.

Just, like― That's why we're just going loony, like... - (CHUCKLES)

- ...12 o'clock at night, just... rehearsing.

(BOTH LAUGH) - Rehearsing? - This place is just―

- You're like, 'Uh... What to say!' - Literally. I just, like―

'All right, I'm going to sleep now,' and I just see Sam there, like...

(LAUGHS) And I just start fucking cracking up laughing.

- The closer it gets to the end, like... I dunno.

Cos it's just like ― is it genuine, or is it just genuine in here, you know?

- Yeah.

Mm. I wouldn't normally, like, open up to girls as quick, like, on the outside.

- Really? - But, like, since we're in this fast-paced environment,

if I don't, then... - Yeah.

- ...I'm gonna end up losing you, you know? - Mm.

(SOFT SYNTH MUSIC)

I'm really enjoying this date, cos I'm getting to know Zac's sweeter side, like,

his little marshmallow side, which, like, I didn't think kind of existed.

(CHUCKLES) - You gotta bite it off.

It's quite hard. - Mm.

Like, feeding me food.

Oh, it's just― everything is just so adorable.

OK, so, do you have any other questions for me?

- Honestly, I think of a few questions, and then when I see

your face, it all goes out of my head. - Same!

There's more to him than just what I think is an Fboy.

He's actually so kind, and behind that reserved and quietness, he is quite deep.

(BOTH LAUGH)

- Oh.

- Ah, stop. - Just come here.

(GENTLE HIP-HOP MUSIC)

Just been wanting to do that the whole time.

She's a good kisser, yeah.

Thank God.

- (GIGGLES) - (CHUCKLES)

- Cheeky little you.

- Yeah. - Mm. - You know me.

- Mm, do I? No, I'm getting to know you. I don't know you quite yet.

We did have a lot of kisses. We had a lot of kisses.

OK, we need to... head back. - All right.

- I wanna say, like, 'Yeah, my head is clear,' but it's not.

I don't wanna just stand here and lie and be like, 'I know exactly what I want.'

We're, like, almost halfway through, and I need to make up my mind.

It's getting really serious, and it's definitely frying my head.

There we go.

(DREAMY POP MUSIC)

- I guess all I wanna ask is how you feel after that,

because that was pretty heavy, and I saw the way you reacted.

- I think I felt a bit bad with Herbie. It's kind of, like,

almost a bit cut short, in a way.

- And it was pretty clear he was a nice guy.

- Oh, I knew. Like, I knew it. - And I'm sure that must've sucked.

- Like, that's what was also grinding my gears was that, like, yeah...

I dunno.

I'm feeling pretty down. Like, I just feel guilty,

cos, like, I wanna be going on to this one-on-one with Will feeling in a good mood.

I hope he can, like, pick my spirits up, in a way.

- If I was in that same position, I would have felt pretty wrecked. - Yeah.

- I really enjoy spending this time with you and actually building that stronger connection

to the point where I've actually dreamed of you already. - LAUGHS: What?

What about?

- We just went to an arcade and, like, played games.

- (LAUGHS) - Like, that was it.

Yeah. - Oh, that's a pretty good sign.

- Yeah. So that's gonna be the first date out of this is just at an arcade.

- (LAUGHS)

- Um, but, yeah,

there is one thing that I really wanted.

And I'm just gonna take it. - (CHUCKLES)

(DREAMY POP MUSIC)

(INHALES DEEPLY)

Sorry, Dad.

Sorry. I feel like you've got lipstick on you. (LAUGHS) - I'm absolutely fine with that.

- LAUGHS: Go back in... - Actually, can I just grab some more?

(LAUGHS) Oh, smooth.

I'm pleasantly surprised. Usually, it takes me a lot longer to be able to trust someone,

so, like, I am, in a way, like, falling for this guy.

- I also wanted to know ― is there anything you've wanted to ask me about or know anything about me?

- What hobbies do you have on the side?

- I... I do acting.

- Acting. - Acting.

- Oh my gosh.

It was, like, alarm bells going in my head.

Oh, so you're an actor?

Is this him being who he really is? Like, is this his genuine self, or is it all an act?

- I swear I told you this. Yeah. - No, you haven't.

Fuck. God.

There's nothing wrong with a guy who's an actor,

but when you don't know them and, you know, we're on this dating show

where they could be Fboys, it does raise red flags for me.

(DRAMATIC, TENSE MUSIC)

- I― - Would you― Like, are you...?

- Um, hey? Am I?

- I know that it doesn't, like, label you to be a bad person,

but, like, obviously, like, I'm just trying to suss you out.

- Um...

Um...

I know she's um-ing and ah-ing about what I am.

I want her to sort of figure that out for herself.
