JACKIE O (PRESENTS): Previously...

This is probably the wildest,

craziest thing I've ever done.

..six couples found their feet,

in a 21-day dating experience...

I think I'm still in shock

that I just got married!

..unlike any other.

No external factors!

It's just me, and one other person.

Some of them flourished...

This is a challenging experience,

which is why... I'm doing it.

We're two different people. That doesn't mean we can't progress.

We're working on it!

..and some of them floundered.

Last night, Tom whispered something to me,

that has just completely changed the dynamic of our relationship.

And...

(COUPLES CHEER TO ONE ANOTHER) ..at the first Couples' Cove...

I found out last night, Tom's got a girl on the outside.

..a big secret pushed Emily and Tom out to sea.

Tom?

Why do you have a relationship on the outside of this?

Damn! That was a big bomb drop.

Wait, let's not attack him.

Now... Where to from here, for Emily and Tom?

Are you actually willing to give this a go?

And as fallout from Couples' Cove makes waves...

To be honest, I felt like you didn't have my back...

Was that meant to be a joke?

Is that... do I find that funny? I said it...

You're gonna listen to me for a second, I'm sorry.

..a spicy new crate is on its way...

Oh! Oh!

Oh!

..to turn up the temperature.

We're getting kinky!

So, who will see sparks?

Ooh. Amazing!

I was like a nuclear sex bomb!

(CHUCKLE) Who will burn out?

Have you thought about me sexually?

Um...

That's all I needed to hear.

And who will run away?

After that conversation, I can't find him.

And he hasn't come back.

Sam!

(THEME MUSIC)

('DANCING WITH A STRANGER' BY NORMANI AND SAM SMITH PLAYS)

It's a beautiful morning in the South Pacific,

where six couples have now been stranded for six days.

At yesterday's Couples' Cove,

they came together for the very first time.

And a shocking revelation

swept one couple into dangerous water.

Waking up this morning,

there's just so many emotions going through my head.

I'm feeling betrayed, I'm feeling like...

I've been lied to again.

I'm confused.

Like, why drop that bomb on me?

Tom tells me...

there's a secret girlfriend on the outside.

But then he told me he's just lied,

to get out of building this relationship with me.

To be fully honest with you... being on the island made me

panic a little bit, and just kind of,

you know, blurt this thing out to you.

Um, as a way of...

I don't know, avoiding the intimacy part, maybe?

Are you willing to keep giving this a go?

Yeah, I don't know.

I don't understand.

And I'm really frustrated by it all, and I'm frustrated by him.

How'd you sleep?

Yeah.

Pretty shit? Not my best sleep.

I still don't know where Tom's head is at.

I don't know where his heart's at.

And that worries me.

How are you feeling, after yesterday?

It was a big day.

Um...

I think...

I just wanted to have a conversation with you now.

After, like, you know, the dust has settled from...

Yeah. ..from everything that happened.

Off the bat, I wanna be completely honest with you.

I think I panicked a bit,

and... potentially, like, slipped into my old ways.

By telling lies.

And, um, yeah, it was a way of trying to make me...

self-sabotage, in a way.

Um...

I think the reason I was kind of pulling back from Emily,

is that I didn't have that

kind of instant attraction.

And, like, in the past, I'd say

if I didn't see that spark with someone,

I would usually cut things off

instead of exploring where that relationship might go,

if I kind of just pushed through that.

I think the biggest thing for me is, like... now... how do you feel that

you are gonna move forward with this?

Are you actually willing to give this a go?

I definitely do wanna do this with you,

and I do wanna give it a go.

Um, and I'm, like, I am gonna...

I'm, like, I'm willing to put in the effort.

I just wanna, you know, have deeper conversations with you

and, um...

put myself out there more.

I think I was really pulling back, and kind of preventing that,

um, in a lot of ways.

Um...

and I think my main goal is to just get to know you.

Yep.

You know, find out why we were matched together.

Yeah, I just wanna, I wanna give it a proper go.

So, I appreciate you telling me that.

Yeah.

And, like, I'm glad that we can get to here.

Like, we're-we're here to...

start fresh, and, like, learn

new ways of coping with this, sort of, stuff.

Yep.

Yeah, I'm, like, I just want you to know,

I'm really happy to be here with you.

And, like, this is what I wanna be doing for the next three weeks.

Aw. Thanks. Appreciate it.

Thank you.

I'm still very guarded,

I'm still, sort of,

holding back a little bit with him.

But... I'm hopeful.

That chat... to me, it actually made him more attractive!

Because he did sort of say, like, "The old me is a self-sabotager."

I do really like Tom.

And I really hope that, you know, this is Tom being genuine,

and this is actually him trying for a relationship.

Just, the exact same reason I'm here.

I need to give Tom the benefit of the doubt.

But, fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice, it's gonna be shame on me.

Fresh start!

Clean slate, Emily.

Brie and Byron went to yesterday's Couples' Cove

riding high on their growing connection.

But the social dynamic around Emily and Tom's drama

has opened up a rift between them.

Do you know that Tom has a girlfriend on the outside?

No. You did know that?

No! I hate Tom.

I literally... I don't hate him.

You should hate him. We hate him now!

Don't put words in my mouth. Tom?

Why do you have a relationship on the outside of this?

This is all, like, let's not attack him.

Let's... this is an experiment, and we are fast-tracking so much,

and I feel like... the best relationships in life

form from a friendship,

so, you've got to give that a chance.

Yeah, but this isn't... Mmm. Yeah, that's true.

I-I get that... You know, but, can you not...

It's-it seems like he's talking, you know what I mean?

It's a great start.

This... it's not the...

it's not the best situation,

obviously, you know, like,

you're in...

a crazy little pickle, man, but...

To be honest, I felt like

you didn't have my back too much, at the table.

I feel like the one thing you said, that

I was kind of a little pissed off with you were like...

"Well, let's not attack him."

Yeah, I was really, really

disappointed with Byron.

I should come before the boys. We're married.

My intention was not to attack Tom,

and I felt like I did it in a way that was, like...

how are you gonna move forward, and like, is this fair to Em?

And I didn't... and you could have had my back a little bit more.

I just saw how passionate you were,

and just, it looked like you were getting really animated,

and to be honest...

Byron...

..it looked like you were about to...

jump down his throat.

But let someone else say it to me. Not you.

Some people just really enjoy that drama,

and I can see it kind of excites Brie.

To be honest, it was a bit of an ick.

It turns me off a little bit.

What would you have liked me to have done... differently?

I think you probably... If anything, just not said anything!

(BRIE LAUGHS)

I think after yesterday,

something kind of changed inside of me

and walls are kind of coming up.

How do we recover from this?

Where do we go from here?

I don't know.

But Brie and Byron aren't the only couple

who have been rocked by yesterday's get-together.

Jess and Sam are also waking up to a tense vibe this morning...

after an offhand joke from Jess yesterday has sent Sam spiralling.

What happened yesterday at Couples' Cove...

was, Jess mentioned...

That I'd hit her in the face,

and I... I... I remember the words

being 'punched in the face'.

She didn't just say it once,

she said it twice.

Uh, and... that is not cool with me. At all.

You guys struggling with the sleep?

Are you getting some hours? Yeah, yes.

Three hours.

I-I think I'm getting more than Emanuel.

OK, I'm definitely getting more than Jess.

Yeah. You're getting way more.

He's-he punched me in the face last night.

Oh! Ooh!

I don't know why you'd say it like that,

it didn't happen like that.

He hit me in the face. (SAM SCOFFS)

He hit me in the face. I'm gonna go get a Coke.

Don't say that, it's not nice to say.

Wait, what's that?

He hit me in the face last night, accidentally in his sleep but...

Jess and I both did a really good job in trying to... act...

like adults, and...and... and get through the afternoon.

But it's important for me to tell Jess exactly how I'm feeling,

because I need to stay true to myself.

Yeah, I feel like, um... we've hardly have a...

had a chance to actually catch up.

Yeah. You know?

Yep. And yesterday was pretty big.

For a lot of other people.

Um, but yesterday was big for me, as well.

What happened yesterday,

when we walked into a group of new couples

that I've never met before... mot once, but twice,

you said, "Sam punched me in the face last night."

I said it...

You're gonna listen to me for a second, I'm sorry.

It really got to me.

You said, "Sam punched me in the face.

Sam hit me."

And I think my reaction straightaway was, like...

I even said to you, like, don't say that, it's not funny.

In... in... in no... I know that that...

..aspect of my life, Jess.

Is that meant to be a joke.

Is that, do I find that funny? Do I find it humorous?

It wasn't backed up with...

"We had a really bad sleep the wind was so bad, Sam rolled over

and accidentally elbowed me in the nose."

The... it's not what you said.

OK, first of all, I'm sorry. Just...

It was meant to be... a joke.

But I was then upset, because your reaction...

which was very strong...

To what you said? About me punching you in the face?

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, was like, really jarring for me,

in a group of new people!

Yeah, but...

In-in a place where I was trying to be, like...

like, walking in with someone, like, a new partner!

And being like, yeah, this is the person I'm with!

Like, we're together. Going great.

Yeah, well, I think it's good to set these boundaries early,

that that's not funny.

I don't find that humour funny,

I-I don't ever want to be

cast in that light at all.

Yeah.

And you said it twice.

In the context of sleeping in the wind.

Like I said, from my perspective, there was no context there.

OK.

There wasn't!

When I said,

"Sam hit me in the face,

or punched me in the face."

I was referring to how bad our sleep was.

Because we slept through... such windy weather, and Sam had...

kind of, palmed me in the face, which I told him in the morning.

We had a little bit of a joke about it.

There was absolutely no ill intent,

from me, around showing Sam up.

I wouldn't do that to a partner.

Like, you, are you gonna brush me off,

and go, "OK, there was?"

Like, for me, there wasn't Jess!

Like, I'm communicating there wasn't...

The conversations with...

Dani and, I think it was Emanuel,

we were all talking about how shitty our sleep was.

I don't even know if I was in that conversation.

I seriously don't!

There was like, three-hour sleep increments, all night.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Same, yeah.

Are you getting some hours? Yeah. Three hours.

I-I think I'm getting more than Emanuel.

OK, I'm definitely getting more than Jess.

Yeah. You're getting way more.

He's-he punched me in the face last night.

Oh! It was in context.

It was in context.

We were saying we'd had bad sleep... If you think it was in context..

Sam hit me in the face. ..I didn't see it in that context.

Fair enough. I apologise. At all.

I understand the way that it came across.

And I never want to disrespect you like that,

it was meant to be a joke,

but I get that it's not funny to you.

I'll drop it.

What upsets me most is... he just responded so quickly,

and kind of didn't give me the benefit of the doubt.

So, what I'm worried about, is-is...

like, you reacting that way to me,

in public.

(SOBS)

It's very scary,

because you come here with such high hopes.

I've been single for five years.

And I wanted the chance to find love,

and a real connection.

(TEARFULLY)

I'm resilient, I'm independent and all those things,

but what I want is a partner that's gonna be gentle

and loving and tender.

He gave that to me when we got married.

And that's kind of just dropped off.

(EXHALES HEAVILY) Oh.

I don't know where we're at... where we're at now, to be honest.

Um...

Both of us probably need breathing space.

At this point... I'm struggling.

I'm stuck between wanting to be patient with it,

and just seeing where it goes... and wanting to say to him,

it feels like this might be too much for me.

('RUSH' BY TROYE SIVAN PLAYS)

Nearly a whole week has passed

in the Stranded On Honeymoon Island experience.

Woo! Day number six!

And six days of being stuck on a desert island

with just one other person has had very different effects

on all our couples.

I'm so looking forward to eating you!

Dinner's ready.

I mean, eating with you! (CHAD LAUGHS)

Some are already catching feelings.

Oh! Stop it.

Others... Let's get some fish!

..not so much. Oh!

(TOM GASPS)

But... something is about to land on these beaches,

that might just change everything.

What's that?

Is that another one?

That's right, Tom... it's another crate.

Holy shit!

And five others just like it

are washing up on all our couples' beaches.

Is that another crate?

Oh, is that a crate? That's another crate!

Go!

These orange crates are an integral part

of the Honeymoon Island experience.

Yay!

And each one is carefully designed

to help our couples break down walls,

and navigate their way towards a lasting relationship.

OK. Ah!

You can do the honours. I can't look.

The only question is, what's inside?

OK.

Before you do... if it's an iPad, I'm swimming to that island.

(MIKE LAUGHS)

And how will it challenge each of these new relationships?

OK, ready? Yeah.

One each.

Let's do it... Oh!

Oh! (BRIE GASPS)

What is this? (BYRON LAUGHS)

Babe! (BYRON LAUGHS)

We're getting kinky!

We are not playing with handcuffs!

Why not? (BYRON LAUGHS)

What's a honeymoon without a pair of fluffy handcuffs?

Wherever they're at in their relationship,

this crate is here to take our couples

to the next level of romance.

Oil? Yep.

Massage oil. Yes.

It's filled with items to help them spice things up.

What do you reckon that is? I think it's body chocolate.

And deep questions,

to help them broach conversations they might be avoiding.

Ooh! Intimacy cards!

(MIKE CHUCKLES) (AMY LAUGHS)

Intimacy doesn't just mean sex.

And it's up to each couple

to decide how they'll use the items in the crate,

to advance their relationship.

I don't think we're at this level.

Mm-hm.

Obviously, today is a fresh start and... you know, I'm happy for that.

I don't know how you feel, but like, I'm not 100% comfortable.

Yeah, no.

Um... but I'm happy to have a glass of red

and read the questions.

Yeah, that sounds good.

I feel... I'd feel more comfortable with that, if you don't mind.

Alright, thanks. Appreciate it.

Alright. (EMILY CHUCKLES)

Intimacy...

With Mike,

on a scale of one to ten...

would be in the negatives,

right now.

OK. (MIKE CHUCKLES)

What an awkward box. (CHUCKLES)

But I feel like I'm starting to build a friendship

with Mike, which is good.

We're starting to laugh together, and have a good time...

And just chill out.

We've moved on from...

all of the stuff from the first day, and...

Yeah, we're starting to build a bit of a connection.

You look better already!

(LAUGHTER) Oh!

OK, that was a good one. Alright, my turn.

I think the contents of this crate

could just help us have a bit of fun, relax.

Get to know each other a little bit better.

And just goof around a little bit!

Which is the kind of Mike that I wanna see more of.

I have an idea.

Fire away, madam. (AMY LAUGHS)

I was thinking maybe with the wine, I could chain you...

(MIKE LAUGHS)

..to something, and I have to feed you your drink.

And you only get a sip every time you compliment me.

(AMY CHUCKLES)

OK, that's pretty tame! I like that.

What do you think? Yeah, that's good.

OK, ready to get cuffed?

Let's take you over here.

We won't need the key.

I'm not freaked out by the box.

Yeah, Amy's a babe.

She's a gorgeous looking girl.

There's no two ways about that.

Last time I got in handcuffs like this,

it was, uh, 3:00 in the morning in Auckland!

(MIKE LAUGHS) Oh, really? OK!

At the moment, her and I are playing

a very... very... very slow chess game.

But... every single day that goes by,

it's like we just have more and more fun.

I hate to admit it,

but... I actually think we got matched right.

Don't even think about wrestling out of those handcuffs.

And I think it would be nice... Ooh!

If we gave you... the pink blindfold!

(CHUCKLE) Of course.

Oh, wow, look at you! Do I look pretty?

You look so pretty.

OK, now remember...

Yeah, I know, the compliments. ..you only get a sip...

The compliments.

..when I get a compliment. OK, easy.

Uh... let's see.. Oh, you have very pretty green eyes.

Oh! Thank you so much!

That's so kind.

Next one.

Today has been, by far, the best day we've had.

And we've been working solidly as a team.

I think I get a sip for that one.

Why do you get a sip for that one?

Because it wasn't a compliment to me.

Well... It was a compliment to both of us.

So, then it's... We're focusing on me, here.

(LAUGHTER)

And-and you're funny!

I mean... Oh! Big sip!

Now-now, she... That's a big sip.

That's a good one, thank you!

Now, she busts out the jokes!

It's been a while since we've seen you smile, missy!

This experience has been crazy.

48 hours ago, we were ready to stab each other.

Now, we're playing fun games with each other,

and actually laughing and smiling the whole way through.

And it's good to see, like, her smile.

And I can see her relaxing with everything

and just becoming herself.

And that's-that's definitely a turnaround,

which is, which is exciting.

I want one more!

Let's get one more... one more... one more.

Make it a good one. Um...

(AMY LAUGHS)

Oh, I don't want to say this, because it's just...

Oh, my god... oh, my god, no-no, you go!

Go on... No.

It's... ah... I hate to say it,

but there's many things that you're smarter than me at.

(AMY LAUGHS)

I'm gonna give you some of mine...

That was... Yeah, that was hard to say.

..for that. That's a hard pill to swallow.

Yeah. This is... this is more like a chug.

I've got to... I've got to throw it with a bit of,

but I think you're still a dick.

(AMY LAUGHS) (MIKE CHUCKLES)

Fair.

The intimacy box was actually really fun.

I'm surprised. I thought it would be more awkward.

But... Yeah, we had some fun with it.

We had some laughs, and you know what?

I-I actually feel like... maybe we're starting to be friends.

(AMY LAUGHS) OK!

Good? Well done, woo! Cheers to us!

(AMY LAUGHS)

Ahh! How did you do that?

(MIKE CHUCKLES) Well done.

Thank you. Thank you for my compliments.

No problem.

On Jess and Sam's beach, today's crate has gone unnoticed

in the aftermath of a heated discussion

earlier this morning.

In which Sam confronted Jess about a joke

she made at yesterday's Couples' Cove.

The pair haven't spoken or seen each other for hours.

And now Jess can't find her husband anywhere

on the beach they've been calling home for six days.

Sam?

(INTENSE MUSIC)

Sam?

He can't be far.

I don't really know what's going on, um... don't know where he is now.

He's been gone for a while.

Yeah, I'm getting kind of worried.

After that conversation, to be honest... It was a lot.

Sam?

Sam?

Sam?

I know it's a really emotional experience,

and it's really... really emotionally challenging,

and he and I have had some really difficult conversations, but...

Uh, it's making me nervous, that I can't find him.

And that he hasn't come back.

Sam!

Sam! Shit.

Sam!

After an emotional discussion

this morning,

Jess hasn't seen her husband Sam for hours.

I'm getting really worried

about where Sam is now.

And I'm just starting to spin about it.

It's brought to light

a lot of my insecurities.

That I'm going to be... left.

And that I'm not good enough.

I've seen so many men walk out of my life,

because... they just couldn't lock in,

when they really needed to.

I had so much hope

that this experience would be different for me.

And I'm left feeling really confused,

and wondering if it's my fault.

Hello!

Are you OK? Yeah. Yeah.

How you going?

Um, worried!

Worried about what?

You.

I feel great.

I was taking time out today.

I've spent a fair bit of the morning

meditating, just trying to reflect

on our conversation.

I-I feel good.

So, that's why I wanna just check in with you.

Yeah, look, I mean it was obviously emotional for me.

I'm sure it was for you, too.

Um...

I... completely respect the message...

that you were delivering.

And I get it.

For me, the delivery was a little bit

hard for me to swallow.

The last eight out of 12 months has been really traumatic for me.

Going through a really toxic break-up

and-and most of all, losing my dad.

I really became emotionally reactive.

Like, in regards to delivery...

I get it, if you feel like I was a bit harsh or anything.

I recognise that I probably could have acted

a little differently in that situation.

I was really dismissive and rude, in the way that I responded.

I've definitely noticed that

I'm falling back into some pretty gnarly old habits.

I need to be with someone that

can be open to seeing my perspective...

and who is going to be gentle and tender.

And soft with me.

Yep. I promise I will.

Thanks for expressing that.

Yeah, I guess it doesn't take much for me

to put my walls back up pretty quickly,

so, I'm sorry about that.

I can see that. And it's the same for me, too.

Yep. Yep.

I want to find love, that's why I'm here.

I want a partner, I want a life partner.

No-one wants to see this side of me. I don't want this side to come out.

And I've done a lot of work on myself,

to remain calm and-and use the tools that I've got.

I'll do my best, to make sure I pick stuff up earlier,

and... yeah, I'll-I'll communicate, and yeah, I'll be gentle

and... yeah, I'll do my best.

I'll try not to be too overly emotionally reactive, but...

It's fair!

You've got... you've got... you've got stuff inside there.

I promised you patience in my vows to you, and...

Yeah.

..I'm trying to do that as best as I can,

and I'm trying to give you space.

And both of us space, to let this develop organically.

Yep.

Um... You know, I'm committed to getting to know you,

and going through this...

with you.

I feel a little bit rattled.

It was a really hard morning, it was emotional.

I feel that-that kind of drama spiral got to me.

But we have turned a corner, I believe.

I think we just need to get used to...

communicating, and the way each other communicates.

And he wasn't running away from me.

(EXHALES) Alright.

(CHUCKLES) Feel better?

Yeah, I feel better.

And thank you for hearing me, and like, I am fully aware that

I'm the furthest thing from perfect.

Very far. Same.

Alright.

Each day on Honeymoon Island

brings its own unique relationship challenges.

Jess and Sam have turned this one into a breakthrough.

And today's intimacy crate has given Chad

an idea of how he and Georgia

might have a breakthrough of their own.

This is like, make or break time, Chad!

(HUMS TO HIMSELF)

Chad's Massage Parlour.

Georgia and I, we've been so focused on creating,

like, a solid foundation.

Which is getting to know the inner personality,

the core, the traits.

The things that made us who we are.

And we've, sort of,

invested most of our time in that,

that now all of a sudden,

we've maybe forgot about the intimacy part.

We have been a little bit safe.

It's now time to get a little bit deep.

Hello! Hello.

You're a sight for sore eyes!

(CHUCKLES) So, are you.

What are you up to?

Just... scheming.

Oh, yeah?

Come with me.

Georgia and myself... I think...

in order to fall deeply, madly, truly in love,

sexual chemistry needs to be explored.

Can I welcome you to our next experience?

Sure! Mmm.

What is it? Well...

I'm excited.

Right, well, come and sit down and let me tell you all about it.

Mmm. OK.

This whole experience is called, "It's All About You."

Ooh! I'm excited.

(CHUCKLES) It's... So, lay back.

Sure. Do you trust me?

I do trust you.

Do you trust me? I do trust you.

(CHUCKLES)

I just wanted to give Georgia the enjoyment that she deserved,

that she needed to feel relaxed in that moment

with someone that she's now beginning to trust.

So, in order for me to do this... Mmm?

..I'm gonna have to take this item of clothing... lower.

(LAUGHTER)

Ooh! Gonna give me a good oiling, Chad?

(LAUGHS)

OK.

Strong hands. Really?

Yep. That's some nice feedback.

He's hitting all the right places.

Is it? Mmm.

Hitting all the right places

without hitting all the right places?

Correct. (LAUGHTER)

Do-do I want intimacy with him?

Yeah, definitely!

(GEORGIA CHUCKLES)

Yeah, definitely, I do.

Yeah, I feel...

(CHUCKLES) Mmm?

That will be a great step for him and I.

(MOANS)

Making a few noises that I haven't heard you make before!

(LAUGHS)

What else have you got in the bank? Mmm!

Wouldn't you like to know? (CHUCKLE)

And I actually think,

like, that, that slow burn

and that build-up.

It's-it's adding to the fire.

You know, putting fuel to the fire, per se.

So, yeah, when it does happen, it'll be amazing.

So, how are we feeling after this... It's all about you experience

Mmm, amazing! Yes?

Mm-hm. Mmm.

Amazing. (CHUCKLES)

So... Yep?

I can't give you all of my tricks all at once.

(CHUCKLES) Right?

(CHUCKLE)

(GOAT BLEATS)

(LAUGHS)

(CHUCKLES, MOANS)

For Georgia and Chad,

the intimacy crate has brought them closer than ever... literally.

But for another one of our brides, this crate shipped in insecurities

she thought she'd left in the real world.

I think the intimacy box...

unfortunately, like brought up

some insecurities within myself.

I definitely think

that the physical side of things is coming.

But... it's almost like he's someone who

I typically would find really attractive,

but would never really go for.

Because I think that he's, like... you know, too hot.

I feel just, like, not feeling super confident

in my body at the moment.

And... I think it makes it... difficult to, like...

feeling... I think it makes it difficult to feel...

Ah, I guess, super confident

around someone who you do think is really hot.

I've definitely struggled with body image issues over the years.

It's easy to feel, I guess, like you're not good enough.

(SNIFFS)

(DANI SNIFFS)

After the intimacy crate washed up on the shore,

I know that Dani's feeling a bit upset.

Can't even really understand why.

(SIGHS) Wanna sit up next to the bed?

Mmm.

I feel like Dani has a wall up.

But whatever the reason...

You know, I-I'm here to help her

and have her back.

If she's gonna get a little bit weary or sad...

(DANI SIGHS)

..I'm here for her... to, you know, help her figure it out,

and figure it out for-for the both of us.

I just wanna kind of know how you're feeling.

Um... I don't know, there's just, like,

things... going on for me.

(TEARFULLY) And I just feel like, being here in this environment just,

like exasperates... everything.

Um...

The issue for me is...

to me, you're, like, super hot.

Like, a mega hot kind of, like, ideal person

that I wouldn't generally go for, because I would think that, like...

Oh, like, he's out of my league.

So, I probably just wouldn't even bother.

And it's, like, such a trigger for me.

Um...

To me, you're, like, super hot.

Like, a mega hot kind of, like,

ideal person that I wouldn't generally go for,

because I would think that, like...

Oh, that, like, he's out of my league.

So, I probably just wouldn't even bother.

(TEARFULLY) And it's, like, such a trigger for me, to not...

I think what happens with me,

is when I don't voice my...

thoughts, and what's going through

my head, like, I pull back.

And I take a step back.

But this time, I really wanted to just let it all out

and-and be vulnerable,

because that's the only way that you really get to know somebody.

And... you know, I'm saying this because I do really like you.

And I don't want to withdraw

and... not communicate how I'm feeling,

and... pretend that everything is fine.

Mmm. Um...

Because that doesn't help anybody.

Look... for me, I don't want you to feel like...

I don't, I'm not happy to be here.

You know, I mean, I really-I really am liking you and falling for you,

like, every day that I get to hang out

with you, like...

and I get to spend time with you, and I see how you are as a person.

You are the most beautiful person,

and it's beyond the physical for me...

I think you're hot by your mind.

By the way you're driven.

By the way you look at me.

Mmm. That's hot.

That's what attracts me.

And girl, you are smoking.

Your eyes, your smile. Your beautiful olive skin.

(DANI SIGHS) Everything about you.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

I-I do, I really appreciate it.

It was just validating, I guess, to...

Um, you know, get that reassurance that...

I am worthy, and I am good enough, and he-he sees me...

you know, through his eyes.

I think sometimes if only we could see each other

through the eyes of the people who love us.

You know, we'd have a completely different perspective on ourselves.

Thank you for listening.

Thank you for talking.

I am very glad that we had this conversation.

I'm just really happy that I got to, like,

really understand

how she felt about it,

how she has been feeling

during this process.

Intimacy box! Box!

I am growing emotionally closer to her.

And our bond is actually stronger than ever.

It's going to like, drip everywhere.

It's scary and exciting,

but I'm just... I'm-I'm going with it,

and I'm embracing this whole experience with her,

and it's feeling great.

(DANI CHUCKLES)

Yeah, I mean, the intimacy box... did its job, so...

We'll see what unfolds.

(DANI LAUGHS) Mmm!

While Dani and Emanuel are making good use of their intimacy crate,

Brie and Byron are about to take the plunge into theirs.

Should we get into these cards? Yeah.

We did wanna play cards! What?

This is not a deck of 52.

I'm glad the intimacy box came. Yeah.

I am a very sexual person.

Sexual compatibility is...

probably one of the most important

things for me in any relationship.

Are you?

Well, no I'm just... I'm gonna have a bit of wine.

I think I'm going to need a little bit of liquid, uh...

Liquid courage?

Yeah, I'm definitely moving slower than I usually would.

I would have gone there by now, for sure, in the real world.

Absolutely.

In fact, I probably would have done it on the wedding night.

'Cause you've got to try before you buy,

but, I've already bought!

(BRIE LAUGHS)

Can't take him back now!

Ah.

"Describe something that turns you on,

which you haven't shared with me."

I know we will get more intimate.

It'll happen. I'll jump him one night.

Or maybe during the day! You never know.

(CHUCKLES) Those showers can get quite sexy.

That turns me on?

Yeah, and you can't just say me.

(BRIE LAUGHS)

Chopping wood, or something like that.

(BRIE LAUGHS) That turns me on.

I-I love sex toys.

Right.

I've actually never been down that road.

Really? Yeah.

It's really cool. Right.

That turns me on.

If anything on the island

is-is like, the most uncomfortable,

it's probably that intimacy part.

I definitely think Brie is-is a little bit,

or a couple of steps ahead of me.

Yep.

Have you thought about, like, what it would be like?

Sometimes, like, if you think about sex with someone,

you get a little bit, like, a bit of a fanny flutter.

Right.

I've had that with you.

Wow. Which is good. It's a good sign.

Wow. Yeah.

So good...

I'm a big believer in, like, a feeling and when it's right,

it's right, and, you know, I-I just haven't felt that just yet.

(BRIE CHUCKLES) Cool.

So... Yeah, it's-it's tricky.

"Have you thought about me sexually? If so, tell me about it."

Ooh.

Ooh.

It's a big question, right?

I don't know where I've had time!

(BRIE CHUCKLES) I'm here!

Yeah, um...

It... To this day?

This very moment?

Um...

I haven't really, like...

There's been so much going on. Mmm.

Like, maybe I just don't know...

If it's, yeah, maybe. Mmm.

What is a maybe?

Like, tell me you wanna have sex with me!

It makes me feel like he doesn't really want to.

His loss.

(SEAGULLS SQUAWK)

('VIRTUAL INSANITY' BY JAMIROQUAI PLAYS)

OK, here we go!

Hey! Yeah! Yes!

Today, I am looking forward to...

expelling some energy.

(LAUGHTER)

Yesterday, a crate arrived on Honeymoon Island,

which has some of our couples feeling overstimulated this morning.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! (GEORGIA LAUGHS)

Yesterday was a very, um... How would you say it?

There was a lot going on yesterday, that was... energy-enriching.

Maybe if I go back further? No?

Um... arousing.

(CHUCKLES) Come closer to me. Come closer.

So, I was like a nuclear sex bomb.

(CHAD LAUGHS) Whoa! Ahh!

And I had nowhere to detonate.

Argh! Oh!

(CHAD LAUGHS)

And, of course, I was just up all night.

Ah. (CHAD CHUCKLES)

My eyes were up. My eyes were open!

Oh! Oh!

We did it.

Let's just not say the word 'up'. (CHAD LAUGHS)

It's hot. But I can handle hotter.

(GEORGIA CHUCKLES) (CHAD LAUGHS)

So, did anything happen last night?

(GEORGIA LAUGHS)

No, nothing happened last night.

You'll never be hungry, when you're with me.

(CHUCKLE)

You know, I can honestly say my feelings

are growing in that direction.

As you can tell by the smile on my face!

Bon apetit. Mmm!

We can't keep our hands off each other!

But it is hard to judge, like,

you know, I've only known him a week.

We're still discovering things about each other.

I don't want to rush it, like I have previous relationships.

I'm just really happy with the slow burn.

I don't think the intimacy will be a problem,

between him and I, because there's so much chemistry.

Mmm.

A scone would be nice. I know!

A scone with some, oh, a bit of cream.

(CHUCKLE) (GOATS BLEAT)

Georgia and Chad aren't the only couple feeling

the sexual tension rising, after the arrival of the crate.

For Dani and Emanuel,

the crate brought out hidden vulnerabilities,

creating a new level of emotional intimacy.

Ah-ha! Hey!

And... well... this!

Oi!

A little skinny dip? Where was my invite?

(DANI LAUGHS) After the conversation that we had yesterday...

I'm feeling good, yeah!

I'm feeling fresh.

I think it's nice that we're both

able to be really, like, vocal

and open about where we're at.

It's nice to know that there's, like, mutual attraction there.

Makes it a lot easier to be more comfortable in my own skin.

We're stranded, it's just us.

And there's nothing to hide behind.

And there's no makeup, there's not even any clothes.

I think we're both really leaning into island life

and becoming our best island selves.

And... yeah, I look forward to getting... to the next level.

So, yeah.

Intimacy crate, yeah, a big tick for me.

A big what, Dani? (DANI LAUGHS)

On Jess and Sam's beach, the arrival of the intimacy crate

yesterday went unnoticed, on an emotional day for the couple.

Oh! What?

The red crate of doom!

But today, they're better placed to tackle it.

When I saw the crate today,

I was a little bit anxious

I'm not gonna lie.

Woo! Is it heavy? (JESS CHUCKLES)

After yesterday, Sam and I... are in a really good place.

And I just don't want anything to kind of ruin that,

or rock the boat.

Wow. Look at this pool.

This is unbelievable, here.

I'm definitely looking to build intimacy with Sam.

OK.

Would you like me to do the honours?

Yes, please.

But it's been a rocky couple of days.

Intimacy!

And... I don't know if I'm ready for this.

(SAM CHUCKLES) A few cards.

Yeah, I'm pretty nervous. Are you?

Yep.

"Look into my eyes, describe what you feel."

Oh. OK.

(JESS CHUCKLES)

I feel a little bit nervous.

A little bit scared.

Um...

I don't know, I also feel, like, a sense of warmth.

Yeah? That's all I've got for the minute.

OK. (JESS CHUCKLES)

After the last couple of days...

being stranded on the island with Sam

is definitely testing the relationship.

But I have faith that it's going to come full circle,

and it's gonna... make us stronger.

Do you wanna read the next one? Yep.

(JESS EXHALES NERVOUSLY)

"How many sexual partners have you had in your past,

and how have these experiences affected you?"

Wow!

How many... sexual partners?

Um...

"How many sexual partners have you had in your past,

and how have these experiences affected you?"

Wow!

How many... sexual partners?

Um...

Alright, well,

it's, mine-mine's around 100.

Give or take.

I'm... I don't keep count,

but if I had to take a stab in the dark,

it'd be around that-that number.

Yep.

Have-have you had any experience before,

finding out, and it's changed how you look at someone?

I don't care. Really?

Yep. Really? You just don't care at all?

I'm not gonna judge.

(SAM SIGHS) Your turn.

I-I'd be happy to, for you to be honest

and-and give me a roundabout or an exact, or-or whatever.

I was definitely concerned about Sam's response.

At times, I've definitely felt that I've been judged...

But I just thought...

Pfft, I'm not gonna lie now.

(JESS INHALES SHARPLY) Mmm. About the same as you.

And how have the experiences affected you?

Hugely.

Um...

As a woman, I've certainly been judged for that in the past.

Yeah.

Yeah, there is a stigma around it, unfortunately.

Yeah.

It's-it's not something that a woman

or a man should be judged on.

Yeah. She's got experience.

She knows herself, she knows connection.

It's great for me! It's really good. Hell yeah!

"How many times do you like to be intimate each week?"

Intimacy, for me,

physical intimacy for me,

is, like, key to a relationship.

Every day, if not twice? Every day?

Every day, if not twice a day. If not twice?

(SNICKER) Thanks for sharing that!

(CHUCKLE)

I've learnt from past relationships, that I am a physical lover.

I love to-to connect deeply with my partner, on a physical level.

Uh, regularly, as well.

Yeah, I-I'd like to be intimate every day.

Yeah, I'd like to be intimate every day, for sure.

It's good for your health.

I feel like Jess and I were actually really close

to one another's responses, which really does excite me.

"What do you think I'll be like in bed?"

Very skilled. Great.

Like, very good. There we go.

I feel like you'd probably be a little bit of a weapon in bed.

(JESS LAUGHS) Absolutely.

Yep, that's the feeling I get from you.

I enjoy my work. Yep.

(JESS CHUCKLES) Yeah.

After a pretty big day this morning,

I think it was a really timely package.

Uh, to let my guard down a little bit!

Today has been huge.

Emotionally... Yum.

What have we got in here? This is dangerous.

Mmm. It's chocolate.

I've got to say, I've learned heaps about myself,

and I've learned heaps about Jess as well.

Mmm. Mmm... mmm... mmm!

You're meant to get that part, I think.

That was meant to be all part of it.

OK. Yum!

And there's some sparks, there's some sparks!

(SAM SNAPS FINGERS)

I think I missed. Ah!

(CHUCKLE)

I'm glad I missed. Mmm... mmm... mmm.

Cheers to the intimacy questions.

Cheers to intimacy questions!

(EMILY CHUCKLES) Cheers.

Yesterday, with the intimacy crate coming in...

obviously, that's a really deep dive into a relationship,

but I think at this point we're still,

you know, at the shallow waters.

Yeah, I haven't had cheese in so long.

I feel a little bit optimistic.

Ah, that this could become something romantic.

Um, but I also don't wanna get ahead of myself, either.

It's just the abs! I love his abs! (LAUGHS)

Emily and Tom have passed on the massage oil

and handcuffs for now,

but together, they've decided to brave the intimacy questions.

Do you want me to go first?

Yeah, OK, you go first. Alright.

"What are three qualities you like about me?"

Three qualities.

The first, I'd say I love that

you're willing to just throw yourself into anything.

The second, I think we've got very similar humour.

Third, I think... I think you're a good listener as well.

Really good listener,

and-and, you know, you ask the right questions.

That's very nice.

"Do you genuinely think we could work?"

I think... there's elements of our relationship that work

really well at the moment.

But then, I'm still sort of very reserved with...

what has happened, and... just frightened...

Mmm. ..to sort of move past it.

What are you most frightened of?

Just getting hurt again.

(CHUCKLES SADLY) But I'm a very forgiving person.

And I think I'm not gonna dwell on this,

like, I am ready to move past this.

Yep.

I'm glad, yeah. (CHUCKLES)

"Ask me anything."

Anything?

There's a million and one things I wanna ask,

I don't even know where to start.

(EMILY CHUCKLES) A million things.

Well... pick the-the very top one, the one that's most important.

One you're dying to know.

Would you kiss me?

Yeah, I'd kiss you.

Do you wanna kiss me?

(EMILY CHUCKLES)

Maybe.

"Ask me anything."

Would you kiss me?

Yeah, I'd kiss you.

Do you want to kiss me?

Maybe.

You went in with tongue straightaway again.

Oh!

Just like our wedding kiss, you came straight in with the tongue

Oh, she loves a bit of tongue, doesn't she?

Straight in with it. Don't even give me that.

You did. No, no, no.

It was a good kiss.

Um, she's definitely a good kisser,

and I knew that from,

uh, the wedding day.

If someone told me that, you know, after Couples' Cove,

that I'd be having a full French kiss with Tom.

I think I probably would have

laughed in their face

and told them to shut up.

But, I think for some reason,

our clean slate,

our fresh start has really worked.

The intimacy crate has had a massive impact on all our couples.

Emily and Tom have had a major breakthrough,

just days after their relationship seemed doomed to fail.

But for Brie and Byron,

the crate unboxed a blindside for Brie,

when Byron admitted he'd never thought about her sexually.

I didn't have the best sleep, after the conversation yesterday.

I was in my head a bit, last night.

I was kind of like, "Oh.

Does he not think I'm attractive?"

Like, I-I went straight to being, like,

"He doesn't want to (BLEEP) me?"

(BRIE CHUCKLES RUEFULLY)

I might go for a quick shower then, hey?

Um, can we just like, chat first?

We can.

Armed with leftover supplies from the intimacy crate,

Brie wants to know if the spark she and Byron

once shared is still aflame.

You alright?

(BIRDS CHIRP)

Um... I-I don't know.

I think, um, the way you answered some of the questions yesterday...

Mm-hm. Kind of...

Freaked you out? ..freaked me out a bit.

And sent me thinking.

Yep.

That's fair.

Um... I think I just, like,

it's hard to hear, for a girl, as a girl.

That, like, the guy that you're dating...

married to, spending a lot of time with...

Yeah. ..doesn't think about you sexually.

Yeah. That, like, makes me feel ugly.

It makes me feel, like, not attractive.

It makes me feel like I'm not good enough.

But you're not ugly. You're none of those things.

I just wanna feel wanted.

I don't want you to think like that, ever.

Yeah. Well, I have been.

I definitely don't wanna lead Brie on.

But, I don't know the answers,

I don't know how I'm feeling fully.

So, I can't give answers

that I'm not sure of, you know?

If we met each other on the outside...

Mm-hm? ..would you be attracted to me?

Like... I'd like to say yes.

Yeah. But you-you're not saying yes.

Well, I just, like, I don't know.

Um...

I just want to know if I... like, if...

that it-it's gonna happen.

Uh...

Like, I think the concern is like, maybe that-that spark,

and maybe that attraction, like, I'm just trying to work out where...

where I lost... where we lost that.

So, you've lost the attraction?

Well... I-I don't know where it, you know, if it's gonna be formed,

and stuff like that...

No, that's all I needed to hear.

Like, I'm trying to be

open here, like...

It's all good. I'm just gonna have a minute.

(BRIE SNIFFLES TEARFULLY)

Honestly, like, to be honest, if he doesn't want to,

that's absolutely fine.

I couldn't give a (BLEEP).

But like, it's not gonna work.

I'm not, like, it's...

Like-like, if I feel not wanted and not feel beautiful

and attractive enough, you don't wanna have sex with me...

then, like, get (BLEEP)!

Like... I'm not gonna waste my time here!

This is where I go.

Back to... back to the guys I'm familiar with.

(TEARFULLY) They're comfortable. They want me.

(BRIE SOBS)

(TEARFULLY) Get one of those guys here!

They'd enjoy the holiday!

It's been a difficult 24 hours on Brie and Byron's island,

since the arrival of the intimacy crate.

And Byron's admission that he's lost the spark

has pushed Brie to breaking point.

I wanted to run, as soon as I didn't like

one thing that he said.

'Cause I don't want to get hurt.

I don't wanna sit there

and listen to things I don't wanna hear.

I'm not good at relationships.

'Cause when... as soon as things get scary and hard, I go away.

And I run, and I go to someone else.

Because I don't wanna get hurt, and I don't get hurt.

It's easy to run, and it's easy to just give up.

But I just realised, like, I don't wanna be scared,

that's why I'm here.

To stop those fears.

And... I don't wanna regret anything.

Hey. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I just needed to... sort out my head for a bit.

I got a little, like, blindsided and, like... I don't know.

I know, I-I saw your face and I, it just, it hurt me as-as well.

I hurt her.

I never came into this experience wanting to hurt anyone,

only to try and fall in love.

I don't know what's missing,

but... maybe I'm scared to go to that next level,

but there has been some hiccups and I see red flags.

You know, like, all the drama at Couples' Cove.

And... in the past... I have run from these situations.

Maybe not because of the person... in that relationship.

Maybe it was me.

Obviously, there-there are some things that...

I have going on as well.

But I understand where you're coming from,

and if-if I was in your shoes and I heard that,

it would... it would cut deep.

I think my biggest fear right now,

is... I'm... gonna, you know, sabotage another relationship,

before it's even had a chance to grow.

It sounds stupid, 'cause I feel this,

like, I feel like we are actually on the same page.

Like, I... I think we're both (BLEEP).

Yeah, we are.

We both came here because we've both struggled to be in relationships.

Yeah, 100%.

And then they put two people who struggle with relationships

on an island together, and-and say they're married.

I know. I know. It's obviously highlighted.

Mmm.

Things that I have... Yeah.

..that I haven't dealt with, maybe, as well...

Yeah.

And... maybe things for us to work towards.

I just wanna keep on getting to know you.

Yeah. You know?

Like, I feel like that's where my... intimacy grows, you know

Like... Yeah, yeah. Absolutely.

That's where I find attraction.

I think being with Brie in this experience,

and what she's sort of taught me is...

it's not always going to be perfect, it's not always going to be easy.

But, you know, I'm out here to find love...

and I'm gonna keep working... on this, and us.

Are you as sweaty as me? I'm stinky as...

Should we just have a dip? 100%.

I think a dip would be good. Alright.

And you know what the beauty is?

It's... the beauty is not in perfect,

it's what's present, what's in front of you

and what makes you happy, what makes you laugh.

I don't think we'll ever reach perfection...

ever in life, no matter what we do,

but... you strive to get better every day and grow,

and I feel like that's what we're doing here.
