JACKIE O (PRESENTS): Previously...

Emily has just shot off the flare.

..Emily and Tom went out with a bang.

I didn't ask for a lot, Tom.

There's nothing else I could have given this.

There's nothing else I could have given Tom.

Jess and Sam found their way forward...

Do you want to get divorced? Desperately.

(BOTH LAUGH) Can we restart dating?

I'm committed to this.

Mwah.

Looks good, baby.

I've got a sense of excitement for now,

that this can go in the right direction.

..before gale force drama hit Couples' Cove.

Sam, do you wanna talk about this right now?

No. Are you (BLEEP) deaf, mate? Like, seriously.

This is actually my fault.

Why are you apologising?

I'm not the one who has my husband apologising

for my behaviour.

Just saying.

Amy, that is it.

I think they're leaving the island.

Coming up now...

"Boys' and girls' day." Ahh.

It's boys' and girls' day.

It sounds fun, but I've got two boys at war with one another.

(WHISTLES)

And Jess and Sam are under the microscope.

I wouldn't mind gettin the ugly stuff out of the way first.

Like, I genuinely see a lot of red flags with Sam.

I am really sick of having to defend...Sam.

I'm sick of having to defend myself.

The irony here is that I don't feel heard by you.

And as the experience enters its final stretch...

You're kidding me. Stop.

..the outside world is calling...

This is my phone.

Oh, my god. Oh, my goodness.

With a reality check.

I don't want you to see certain things.

Are you on the dating sites? I have Hinge.

Let's see the saucy girl, huh, in action.

I've probably got, like, 200 conversations open.

Is that a red flag?

Yeah, that scares the shit out of me.

And Mike's past... comes back to haunt him.

Em, did actually mention that you guys matched.

One of the first things you asked her was, like...

what underwear she was wearing?

(THEME MUSIC)

# Wake me up

# My eyes are heavy And I need some sun... #

After 14 days stranded on Honeymoon Island,

this revolutionary romantic adventure

is in its final stride.

Morning.

Morning. (CHUCKLES)

(CHAD AND GEORGIA GIGGLE)

Five couples remain,

and this morning,

they're all talking about the same thing...

yesterday's explosive Couples' Cove.

So, how do you think,

um, yesterday went, at Couples' Cove?

Well, as usual, it starts off well. Cheers, baby.

And then ends in drama.

Last Couples' Cove,

I'm...I'm...I'm very much looking forward to, at some point today,

trying to put that behind me.

I'd rather talk about it now.

I don't to do it private, off the table.

We'll be doing it privately, 'cause it's personal, Emanuel.

Yeah. Well, is it personal?

Emanuel.

Sam, do you want to talk about this right now?

No. I wanna have a conversation with you privately.

Are you (BLEEP) deaf, mate? Like, seriously.

Open your ears, you dickhead.

Call me a dickhead, huh?

Oh, my god, this is why I didn't wanna come to this shit.

I now want Sam to apologise about the way he reacted.

It seems absolutely ridiculous, that they've got this much,

you know, fire between them.

Correct.

Yesterday was a lot.

It was just... Pretty heated there, for a second.

Yeah, you know.

I just needed that apology from Sam.

He should really be pulled up

for saying stuff like that to someone.

Yeah, then he left.

I know. Like, dude.

Like, chill out, come back, have a conversation.

I just feel sorry for Jess.

Like...

I just don't feel like she's seeing what we all see.

Exactly.

It's...if it's a sinking ship, she sinks with the ship.

It is what it is.

Um...we have done our part, you know?

Yeah.

We've really done our part

to try and create the awareness of it, and...

I just...I just feel like she doesn't see

that it's coming from a place of...love for her.

But you know what? It's her relationship.

If that's what she chooses to do... Well, yeah.

..then I can't, you know... Yeah.

..I can't control other people's thoughts or feelings.

All I can do is be there for her regardless,

but I'm not here for Sam.

(YAWNS)

Morning.

Pretty tired. (CHUCKLES)

It was a big day.

What happened yesterday at Couples' Cove

has totally stripped down

a pretty big wall for me,

around the trust area with Jess.

It's definitely brought us closer together.

I feel like Jess is totally on my side,

and-and totally has my back.

She wasn't trying to please everyone.

Jess stood up.

Mate, no, no, no, just calm down. I'll talk like a man to you.

I'm not asking for your opinion, Amy.

I mean, kettle calling the pot black.

I'm not the one who has my husband apologising

for my behaviour.

It's two-way.

And yes, he's emotionally reactive, and he knows that,

and that's why he got up.

I think emotionally reactive

is a way of sugar-coating his defence...

That's-that's what it is.

Amy. That is it.

I think we just go home.

Yeah. Yep.

Yep.

I really felt like you had my back yesterday,

and...I needed it.

And, um, I was very moved,

I was really emotional by the end of the day,

at how much you were, you know, clearly trying.

And I think, if I hadn't been clear with you,

you probably wouldn't have gone that way,

and you listened.

And I feel heard, and I feel supported,

and, yeah, thank you.

Going forward,

it's a complete focus on Jess and myself.

I feel like the-the trust is being rebuilt, and...yeah.

Um, I'm...I'm...I'm a lucky guy.

Sam and I are in the best place

we ever have been today,

and I think that's because

he saw some support in me, that I think he needed to see.

(CHUCKLES)

The drama at Couples' Cove has brought Jess and Sam

closer than ever.

But they're not the only couple

celebrating a major relationship breakthrough this morning.

Hi. You stayed in bed this morning.

Yeah, I had a little sleep-in.

I'm so excited.

Byron and I have taken our relationship to the next level.

It's big, it's huge.

It's what I've been waiting for. (GIGGLES)

I woke up thinking it wasn't real.

And then I looked over and I was like...

"Now, we've got a chicken."

(BORIS SQUAWKS)

Morning, Boris.

(BORIS CLUCKS)

The chicken came to bed last night, when you were sleeping.

He slept here.

I'm not ready to be a parent.

But...I can...I can own a chicken.

It's a good start.

I hope you know how to look after the chicken.

I don't have a clue on how to look after a chicken.

You bought the thing. You've got to look after it.

It's your responsibility now. OK.

It's gonna be interesting to see what the chicken does...

for our relationship.

Maybe we could make a little crate for Boris?

We?

Are you gonna show me what you're gonna do with this pen?

Yeah.

Me and Byron are in a really good, strong place at the moment.

We've come so far together, and...

When I came here,

I didn't really realise I had commitment issues.

But...I think the whole next bit of this experience

is about commitment.

There's a good chicken.

And now that we are a family, I'm excited.

Blink twice if you're happy.

(BORIS FUSSES, SQUAWKS) Come back.

We have to... Oh.

Hold that thought...crate.

Oh.

How did it get there?

Look out there.

It's a crate.

Don't have a great relationship with these crates,

I've got to tell you.

At this point, I think it's better off

just not to assume anything.

That's a good strategy, Sam.

Because these crates are designed

to keep all our couples on their toes,

by presenting relationship challenges

they may face in the real world.

Go get it, sweetheart.

I'll time you.

Run.

And this crate is about to pop their island bubbles,

whether they like it or not.

What's in the box?

What's in the box?

What is it?

Ooh. Hey.

"Newlyweds."

"Days on your tropical island home are counting down."

Aw. (BOTH CHUCKLE)

"'Now, it is time to discover who your spouse is,

"outside of this experience."

Cracker.

Oh, I'm excited about this. Yeah.

I think it's a photo album.

It definitely is.

Today's crate contains photo albums,

providing a glimpse into all our castaway's lives

outside the experience.

Ooh, Dani. (LAUGHS)

This was me in Bali, just recently.

Fun, right?

Well, there's something else in the crate,

and it's the last thing any of them

thought they'd see on the island.

You're kidding. Stop.

Is that for real?

(LAUGHS) No.

Oh.

No way.

Oh, oh.

Oh. (CHUCKLES) Oh.

Ooh. OK.

That is my phone.

Oh, my god. Oh, my goodness.

(LAUGHS)

It's our phones. Thank god.

I remember...

I actually... ..what this used to look like.

Oh, I'm nervous. I mean...

What if there's something I don't want you to see?

Well, imagine what about me.

What if I don't want you to see certain things?

OK.

Is there anything more personal and more revealing than your phone?

Ooh. Ooh.

Swapping phones is the ultimate relationship test.

How much will they share?

What secrets lie within these little pieces

of plastic and glass?

(GASPS) Oh, Jesus.

Um, yeah, cool.

Wish I didn't see that.

But first, how will our most loved-up couple

handle Chad's revealing past?

Well...

you might get a few surprises.

Definitely not something that I voluntarily withheld,

it's just that we've not gone there, we've focused on us...

OK.

..and just getting to know one another.

Yep.

So, the album could possibly

share aspects of my life

that I know for a fact I've not spoken about.

It might be a shock to her.

Whether she is accepting of all that stuff...

I-I don't know, we'll wait and see.

Ooh. (LAUGHS)

Uh... (LAUGHS)

I think you're in shock. (BOTH CHUCKLE)

I am in shock.

You're in shock. (BOTH LAUGH)

Oh, my god, OK.

I don't really, know...

I don't really know what to make of that.

This is, um, oh, is this, oh, you're dancing?

Yes.

She went, "Oh, you were a dancer."

(LAUGHS)

I was a male stripper.

(BOTH LAUGH)

All I can tell you right now,

is I've been dropping hints to you

throughout this experience...

What's in the box?

What's in the box?

(COUPLES LAUGH)

Can't give you all of my tricks, all at once.

(CHUCKLES) Right?

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Funnily enough,

the...the...the stripping I loved doing,

because I got to perform, I got to entertain...

Yeah. I sort of tapped...

No judgement from me.

Yeah, I was initially shocked, but...who cares?

We're not living in the past

we're living in the present,

and going towards the future.

You do you, boo. (CHUCKLES)

Oh. Here we go. Whoa. Oh, wow.

So, what do you actually do?

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

So, I work in the area of orthopaedic surgery,

joint replacement specifically.

Yep.

Another word for that is 'arthroplasty'.

I definitely have learnt a lot about Chad today.

So, if you meet my friends... Yep?

..and they ask you what you do, what are you gonna say?

I'm a retired stripper.

(BOTH LAUGH)

So...um, do you wanna go through mine?

Sure.

But first, should we update our status to married?

(CHUCKLES) Yeah.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Go ham, if you want.

OK, this is what I would do at home, if I was going on a date with you.

Oh, you actually click on the photos?

Yeah, I love a good stalk.

Before I go on a date with someone that I've met online,

I will...stalk them

and...I'll...I'll...I'll get the girls on it, too.

Like, share the profile... what do you think?

Yeah, I'll go deep.

I'll be on their 2011 photos.

Very careful not to like anything.

It's just a double tap, and they know you've stalked.

But nothing in Byron's phone surprises me.

It was literally golf, snow, golf, snow, snow, snow,

golf, friends with beers... golf, more golf.

Snow. Family.

Golf.

Are you on the dating sites?

I have Hinge. Yep.

How long have you been doing it for?

Sometimes when I'm lonely, I'll go on.

Right.

And then I'll-I'll scroll for a bit and be like, eh.

Do you feel like you need that?

Like, personally I've only ever used it once.

Tinder, like when it was, like, eight, nine years ago,

when it first came out.

And I got catfished.

So, I was like, maybe this isn't for me.

Aw.

And like, I actually don't find it that hard

to talk to people out in the real world,

and meet them organically and that.

I'm pretty nervous to show Byron my dating profile.

Dating-wise,

I do kind of bounce from relationship to relationship.

I'm in a relationship, and then a fling, and then a fling,

and then another relationship.

And then a fling. But, like, that is modern dating these days.

I know he doesn't use dating apps, so...

mmm.

Yeah, I'm...I am a little bit worried

about showing him mine.

Let's see your, um, your Hinge profile.

Bring it up.

It's probably not even, um...

Let's see the saucy girl, huh, in action.

(EXHALES NERVOUSLY)

Is this making you feel uncomfortable?

A little bit. Is it?

It's just...it's nerve-wracking, having people touch your phone.

But I genuinely have nothing to hide.

I was a single person before entering this experience.

So, this is my profile, if you'd like to see it.

Yep.

I have... OK, I-I'm not gonna lie to you.

I've probably got, like, 200...

Yep. ..conversations open.

You know, Brie's been on the dating platforms,

and to me personally, uh, like, a dating app...

is a red flag.

I feel like there's a lot of insecurity there,

and...you're screaming for attention.

50 plus likes...wowsers. It's them liking me.

That's them liking me.

Wow. So much control.

Does it... No, it's not...

..do you get a lot of power from that?

Like are you...are you flattered?

Maybe.

These are all the ones... Are you...

..I haven't replied to 122.

And then there's 57 guys...

Actively chatting to you. Not actively, look.

How do you keep up?

I haven't even, like, I haven't even replied to them.

Like, what's the point of it?

If you're single and you're lonely,

and you're feeling just shit about yourself...

Yeah. ..go through the guys who like you.

Yeah. I-I honest...

If you're horny, go through these ones.

Right.

And have you ever gone on dates?

Oh, yeah, yeah. I used to do that heaps, like...

One-night stands?

Yeah, more of that.

The phones bought reality back into play.

She's a classic example of, she's not using dating platforms

for the right reasons.

Maybe that's, you know, the proof of the commitment issues.

Is that a red flag?

Yeah, that scares the shit out of me.

How do you feel?

I'm at a stage in my life where I wanna put roots down.

And, uh...

If there is this abundance of men on demand,

I'm not sure... if that's where she's at.

Yeah. It's kind of crazy.

I just...

You may as well just play Candy Crush.

There was a weird vibe, after the Hinge...

I can't tell what it was.

I feel a little bit judged.

To be honest, like, should we delete the Hinge?

Should I just delete it?

I'm deleting the-the app right now.

Because I don't like how that, like...

Yeah. What that brought out.

Well, you just, you'll download it later.

I feel like there was something he wasn't saying.

So...yeah.

Out of sight, out of mind. Let's put the phone in the box.

Uh, my gut feeling's telling me...

there's something else...

there.

(THEME MUSIC)

Across the islands,

crates containing everyone's phones

have washed ashore.

There we go.

Alright.

Phone time.

After 14 days stranded with just each other for company,

the noise, distraction and temptation of the outside world

is suddenly back in the palm of their hand.

You know, this phone scares me right now.

I know, right? (CHUCKLES)

For Dani and Emanuel,

who lead very different lives in the real world,

today's crate brings a dose of reality.

I go first, on your phone?

Yep.

How are you feeling?

I don't...I don't, just-just go.

I-I think it's impossible

not to think about what's going to happen

after you leave the island, you know?

You're in such a contained environment here,

it's really easy just to forget about...

the outside world a little bit.

Alright, are we doing Instagram? Yep.

Doing it.

Alright, I need to get a full overview.

Is this you performing?

It was just me recording at my studios,

this is my studio.

Ooh, that's cool. Mmm.

You know, I've said this before...

I think in the real world...

I wouldn't generally go after someone like Emanuel

because I'd feel like they're a little bit

out of my league.

And I guess, going through his phone...

You know, those feelings do surface a little bit.

Very curated content.

Loving the fashion.

That's a lot of leather.

Yeah, I love leather. Love a leather moment.

OK.

Didn't know you were such a model.

Mmm.

Ooh. OK.

Follow some chicks?

No, that's unfortunately just when you get searched so much,

it's not my choice.

Yeah, I think given the industry that he's in...you know,

I'm sure there's no doubt there's women

throwing themselves at him all the time.

He'd have ample opportunity to hook up with,

you know, whoever he wants.

Yeah, it's a scary thing.

Mmm.

Do you hook up with chicks on the road?

Like, is it really easy to pick up after a show?

Yeah.

But, uh, it is very easy to pick up after the show, but...

I have a...I have a rule.

We have a rule, as a band. Mmm.

We do not hook up with fans.

Mmm. Do you stick to it? 100%.

Really? Yeah.

I reckon it would be really easy to, like,

just hook up...

Of course. ..with anyone and everyone.

It's like, the perfect environment for hook-ups...

Yeah.

..the perfect environment for that kind of thing.

Of course, but like,

I think the novelty of that is gone, for me, in that sense.

Mmm. You know, I've done it.

I'm past that age of finding enjoyment

in sleeping with groupies.

So...

Yeah, not...not...nothing to worry about, I thought,

if our relationship is honest and strong between the both of us,

you'll most likely be at those shows with me.

Mmm.

I have no doubt that the transition to the outside

will be difficult.

You know, I'm sure there's no doubt there's women

throwing themselves at him all the time.

But...

in my opinion, if that was to happen,

I wouldn't stick around.

I hope that he's here with me for the right reasons.

Otherwise, why the hell

go through this bullshit of being stranded on an island?

(CHUCKLES) That's all I can say.

So...we're gonna look at some apps?

Yep.

Uh...dating apps?

Yeah, let's do it.

The Hinge profile.

I was a little bit anxious, I'm not gonna lie.

Sam and I

are in a really good place.

And I don't want...

anything...to kind of ruin that, or rock the boat.

I don't have tickets on myself, but maybe I do here,

because I feel like my Hinge profile is elite.

OK. I mean, I...

Eh, it's so weird to hold this. ..I'm the expert, right?

(CHUCKLES)

OK.

Uh, this is a photo of me not long ago,

mid-this year, actually.

Going camping with my brother.

I actually quite like that photo of me.

Thoughts on the shot?

Looks, it's-it's good.

OK, great. Sexy.

Ooh, video of me boxing.

Actually, I'm excited to show you

a little video of me hitting the bag.

How do you think I'd hold up?

Ten out of ten.

And then this last one is from really long ago.

I don't even know why it's on my profile,

but I was feeling myself

in the shot.

Yeah, I can tell. Yeah.

I can tell. (CHUCKLES)

Right? You're laughing.

(CHUCKLES) You're thinking it's funny.

Yeah.

Part two.

Dun-dun-dun.

This is my dating profile. Ooh.

Come on.

You want me to play this?

Well, absolutely. OK.

Dating me is like...

A long game of pass the parcel.

As you unwrap each layer,

you discover another level of mystery.

Loose, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I love your confidence. Cool.

Um...we'll get along if you understand my love of sauce.

I have a deep love for sauce.

Interesting. Like, condiments.

Yeah, wow. OK.

All condiments. Yeah, I'm learning something here.

I'm learning something here.

I...I...I think

Jess' Hinge profile

was a poor reflection of herself.

I-I didn't even see Jess on her profile at all.

I didn't know she had a thing for sauces.

I could barely see her in her photo...

So, yeah, I was like, what is this?

This is so different.

Uh, would you, um...

Would I swipe? Yeah.

Um...

I'm not saying...uh, yeah.

So, for me, um...

I'm gonna be brutally honest.

If this was in the... in the Hinge world

and I came across it...

I probably would hit the cross.

I was really honest.

Part of me was gonna be like, yeah, of course, I would have,

definitely would have hit yes.

But no, I-I wouldn't have.

Those profiles are a nut.

They're-they're a big nut for me.

I feel like, looking at your profile just then,

I didn't get to see enough of you.

Mmm. Like, I didn't see enough of you.

Like, your face, your body.

And there's nothing worse than potentially matching with someone,

where you're just questioning the whole time,

like, what is this person actually going to look like,

if I do go out on a date?

Um...

When Sam said he wouldn't have liked my Hinge profile...

even though...

he's delivering me really hard truths...

I think he's right.

Yep. Fair enough. Yeah.

My Hinge profile, it doesn't really show...

much of who I really am.

Oh. Yeah?

He's been honest and transparent.

I actually really respect that,

and I think it's a good foundation for a relationship.

I'm feeling more and more confident

that...we can... develop something real...

when we go back home.

There you go.

Cool.

Thanks for showing. That's alright.

Meanwhile, Amy hasn't even turned on Mike's phone,

but she's already discovered a deal breaker.

Wait, is that a Samsung?

Yeah. (GASPS)

Don't even start with me. What's wrong with you?

Samsungs are better.

OK, fine. Do I press this?

Yep.

So...I have Mike's phone

in my clutches.

I'm so excited to see his dating profile,

because Emily told me something at the first Couples' Cove,

that has played on my mind a little bit.

I met Mike, prior to the speed-dating night...

Oh. ..on the apps.

Oh.

His first comment to me was, "We'd make cute babies."

But then asked me what colour underwear I was wearing.

No. Oh, my god.

No... This is your husband.

I'm just gonna use this information as ammo.

Should I need it, down the track.

I have been waiting for the right opportunity

to bring those things up.

I didn't wanna bring it up with Mike at the time,

because we'd had a really tough day the day before.

But it's something that I have been thinking about.

Now, things are getting to the end...

I've got to start really evaluating

whether this is right or not.

And I'm really hoping that he comes forward,

and is honest about what happened.

Um...it would be interesting to see your dating-dating profiles.

Yeah. I don't have any.

You don't have any? No.

So, why don't you have any dating apps?

Oh, I got rid of them ages ago, before this.

Can you re-download them?

But no, my, I blocked, uh, deleted...

you like, un... like, deleted the profile,

so they'll...they're gone.

Mmm.

I-I will, honestly, I would if I could...

if we...if we could.

Um...

He...can't re-download Hinge.

He can re-download Tinder.

He can't show me any of the apps or conversations.

And, um...feels a bit wiped.

When did you get off the dating apps?

(HISSES) Ooh.

Um...

I deleted Tinder and Bumble four months, five?

Four, five months ago?

Hinge was the last one,

and I think that went maybe...

five to six, you know, weeks before I came on the show?

Somewhere around then.

Yeah.

I know that-that's not true.

Because he actually matched with Emily on the day

of the speed-dating event.

Yeah. OK.

I-I haven't had it for ages.

Are you being truthful when you say that?

Yeah.

Four, five weeks before you came on the show?

Yeah.

One thing, I promise you this...

good, bad or ugly, I will (BLEEP) never lie to you.

I'll tell you straight.

Yeah.

Um...

Interesting.

Mike promised me honesty, but he wasn't honest.

And if he had nothing to hide...

why isn't he just telling me the truth?

After a crate washed up this morning

carrying all our newlyweds' phones,

Brie is still feeling hurt by Byron's negative reaction

to her online dating profile.

Like...Sue me,

for being single before I came here.

Everyone uses Hinge,

everyone uses Tinder and stuff, like...

and I don't think he understands that...

that is modern dating, these days.

And I, like, the thing that, like, upset me the most was like,

that I literally sat there...

And I deleted it in front of him,

after giving him a whole speech about, like,

I don't like this.

And then he still, like, has a go at me and tells me

I'm not ready for a relationship.

I am here for a relationship.

I am committed for a relationship,

I am ready for a relationship and, like,

I'm not gonna let someone tell me that I'm not.

And that's why I'm pissed off.

It's been a very interesting day, I think.

Mmm.

The crate was odd.

Those-those boxes,

and that technology...

it was like a glimpse back to reality,

and I was like, "Oh."

You know, just like,

I guess the whole dating apps and stuff,

it's...

I've never been a big fan of them.

So, are you like, is that something that,

like, you-you're questioning me on?

Well, it's not like, such a long time ago

that you were on 'em.

Yeah, but like, I've been single for two years.

Like, what... Yeah.

I understand, but it's like,

you're on them for a reason that's not, like...

For a relationship.

But like, that's why I'm here, Byron.

Like, I've had troubles with that,

and I have struggled with commitment,

and I've made that pretty clear, and...I've tried...yeah,

of course, I've tried dating apps.

Like...

I have...I had a single life back in Melbourne.

I'm not judging you,

I'm just trying to... I'm just trying...like,

Well, I kind of feel like you are. ..talk to you about where I'm at.

Yep.

Are they hate eyes?

No.

It's, I, yeah, it's like,

a bit upsetting to hear...

Yeah. I know.

..how you feel about, like, that you took the Hinge.

Because, like, I'm sorry for the person

who I was before this.

Like I, why am I, like

I shouldn't be apologising for that.

I'm not asking you to.

I'm just, like, a single girl in Melbourne, on Hinge.

Yep.

'Cause I didn't think you were ready for a relationship.

And I told you that.

And I said, I really don't like this,

and I deleted the app in front of you,

because I was like, this is not the kind of person

that I want to be.

And I'm not saying your heart's not in the right,

but I feel like it is.

I just, like...

no-one changes overnight.

I am pretty pissed off.

To be honest.

And...like, I don't know what he expects from me.

I was single before I came here.

He told me that I'm, like, not ready for a relationship,

and that...

like, I, in my head I'm like, you can't...

that's not your call to make.

I want to have a...I want to find someone.

Yeah. Yeah. I want to find my person.

Trust me, I would not be doing this if I didn't want,

like, if I didn't, like, think any, like...

I wouldn't have stayed around with just anyone here.

I get it.

I don't know, it kind...uh.

Yep.

It's a tricky one.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm pissed off.

Like...

I'm, like, uh, to be honest, I don't...

like, I'm, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't even wanna see him, right now.

I, like I have, I don't want a bar of him right now,

like...where's the flare?

Yeah.

You don't like these talks.

(FIRE CRACKLES)

# I don't know when you're sad

# I can't tell when you're mad

# You've never been vulnerable

# I believed you could change

# But you're still the same

# And I'm still invisible

# 'Cause nobody taught you How to cry

# But somebody showed you how to lie

# All of the feelings you don't show... #

It's a new day on Honeymoon Island.

Where you never know

what will come in on the morning tide.

# I know I got nothing left #

Dani.

We got mail.

Yay!

No.

Oh, my god, not another one.

What are we doing today?

"Today...

will be boys' and girls' day."

Ahh!

"Where you can chill with your...

Oh, my god. ..fellow brides and grooms."

"On a day off from dating." Yes!

(LAUGHS) Yes.

Boys' and girls' day?

Yeah.

Yes.

That's awesome.

Today's boys' and girls' day

is the first time that our couples will separate

since being stranded together nearly two weeks ago.

Sick.

And it's their first chance to discuss the relationship

without their partner present.

Girls' day.

It sounds...fun.

But given on my side of the camp,

I've got two boys at war with one another...

Yeah. ..it sounds awful.

Today's get togethers will be the first time

the group has gathered since the last Couples' Cove,

which saw Sam and Emanuel clash at the table.

A conflict that remains unresolved.

I wonder what's in store for us.

My fear is that things are going to continue to escalate, obviously.

I think great idea for you and Emanuel

to have a conversation.

He does want you to apologise to him.

Apologise for what?

That's what he obviously thinks is necessary.

I don't...I don't know.

I'm sorry, I don't...I really don't.

The last Couples' Cove ended really badly.

What's going on between Emanuel and I

has not been fixed.

It has not been addressed.

Hopefully he's chill, and doesn't...

get...you know.

Who knows? But look, that's his problem, really.

You've just got to be

the bigger person, which you are.

Yeah. Yeah, I, you know.

Sam's a loose cannon, you know?

I-I don't know how he's gonna react,

or how he's gonna behave.

He's shown his true colours at the Couples' Cove.

The way he reacted to me,

I'm still waiting for an apology.

I'm not gonna stand down

until I...actually receive my apology.

And that's the end of story.

I just hope he does the right thing.

I don't wanna go in there

and...and...and ignite any new drama.

But if things end up the same way they did last time,

when I saw Emanuel...

If things do get heated...

I'm happy to protect myself

and stand up for myself.

Bring it.

(THEME MUSIC)

It's a boys' and girls' day,

and the newlyweds are splitting up for the first time,

to spend the day away from their spouse.

I think boys' day out's gonna be interesting,

because Sam and Emanuel just need to squash their crap.

Honestly, if they don't squash it today,

it's like, I'm going to girls' day.

Like, it's ridiculous.

With the days on the islands counting down,

it's crucial for the castaways to seize this opportunity

to seek advice and provide feedback

to one another.

Coming into girls' day...

I'm a bit worried about Jess.

She's...

saying that,

you know, things are good in their camp.

But...

I'm concerned, and I wanna chat to her about

what's happening behind closed doors.

At the girls-only island paradise,

Amy and Brie are the first to arrive.

(AMY LAUGHS)

Oh, this is so, oh, my god.

Oh. Oh, my god.

We have...we have sun lounges.

Pop off some bubbles.

Is this shampoo and conditioner?

(GASPS) God, oh, my god, oh, my god.

Oh. We have...

Oh, my god, we have, like, mud pack face masks.

Get some.

I won't be using it, 'cause my make-up is flawless.

But... I will be using that.

This is so cute.

Oh, my god, adorable. Get out.

A brush.

Girls' day.

To be honest, it's so nice

to just have space from your man.

And we needed it.

Hi. Hello.

Hi. Welcome.

G-Spot is here.

Hey. Welcome to girls' day.

Hi. Love a girls' day.

It's so good to see you.

Alright, do you wanna get a drink? Yes.

Have a little look around? Yeah, what do you drink?

Oh, how are you?

I'm good.

How are you? Good.

Oh, my god. Loving the 'fit.

Every outfit gives me life. Thank you.

I just can't wait to see what Georgia's wearing.

My girls, there was champagne,

a bit of fruit, some robes,

scrubs, face masks.

Foot scrubs.

It's all me, to a T.

This is gonna be so much better than what the boys are doing.

So good.

Oh.

Man, I was stoked to see you.

Like, today... Bro.

Yeah, I'm actually surprised you weren't hanging out

with the chicks.

Come on, now.

Yeah, the boys. (LAUGHS)

Yeah, the lads.

Hey.

Byron.

How are you, brother?

Here comes the big Malala.

(LAUGHS)

My natural reaction was excitement,

I was like, "Oh, my god.

Boys' day."

That was a superhero entrance.

Mate, how are you?

Hey, good. Yourself? Not bad.

Oh, my god, look at this spread.

I know. This is amazing.

But then, the memory just kicked in of, like, gosh...

Two guys are at war with one another.

And, I just don't like the drama.

Brie was devastated.

She was like, "Oh, what, I can't come to the boys' day?

I wanna see the drama."

I was like... What drama?

Oh, well.

There's gonna be a little bit.

It's like, one of two ways. Yep.

Oh, bro, I'm not... You know what I mean?

I'm... I know.

I expect one thing, and that's it.

Look, I need an apology from Sam, end of story.

I know. I get it.

I am on Emanuel's side on this.

I feel like Sam does

owe Emanuel an apology.

But then, Sam is a bit of a mystery bag, you know?

You don't know what you're gonna get.

Uh...I-I don't know where it's gonna go.

I feel like the fireworks are about to go off.

At girls' day, Jess is yet to arrive.

She hasn't seen anybody

since her and Sam abruptly left the last Couples' Cove.

OK, how do we think Jess and Sam went?

Ooh.

To be honest, I'm a little disappointed

that Jess lets Sam just not come back.

Yeah.

Like as in, like, did he really...did he

manipulate her to leave?

Because she said... Of course he did.

..she said at the table, while we were all just like,

Emanuel is literally just asking for an apology,

it's not that hard if I was Jess,

I would have gone to Sam, and I would have been, like, "Sam,

come back to the table, say sorry,

we'll sing Kumbaya, and have a toast."

So, I think...

Yeah, but-but she pulls no weight in that relationship.

Honestly, I feel a little nervous about walking

into the girls' day today.

I'm worried that today is gonna be a repeat of Couples' Cove,

and that I'm gonna be attacked.

I don't wanna

tell the girls everything.

There's part of me that doesn't trust them.

I'm worried that if I give them information,

um...it might be perceived in the wrong way,

or in-in a negative light.

They've isolated themselves.

I'm worried that she's starting to feel stupid.

And she doesn't want to come to us, and feel like the failing couple.

Yep.

And I don't think that Jess feels like

that she can trust us.

She's not confiding in us at the...at the moment.

But...

Sam isn't here today.

So... No, exactly.

..it might be a nice opportunity... So, this is our one opportunity...

..to actually get an understanding of what's really going on.

Yes.

(GASPS)

Ding, dong, dang, ladies.

(BRIDES EXCLAIM) I'm back.

You look so stunning.

Oh, babe. Rocking that lingerie.

Yeah, OK.

Come take a seat. We've got a spa day, girl.

How do your nails look? They're foul.

Lovely, we'll fix it.

Um...yeah.

Oh, take a seat, Jess. Come sit down.

Sorry... No, no, sit, sit, sit.

Well, I wanted to wash my face, but let's do that later.

Yep.

Jess is stranded on an island with Sam.

The only voice she's hearing is Sam's.

And, uh...I think

she's struggling to hear the voice of reason.

But here I am.

There's four of us here, like, will there be five?

Will there be five?

Well. Sammy will turn up.

Yeah. I thought so.

A little bit of angst amongst Sam and Emanuel.

And they need to sort that out.

Have you thought about today, and meeting up with him

and what you're gonna do?

I mean, I don't have to be his best friend,

and do I agree about the way he reacted?

Probably not. Yeah, no.

But...you know, I just want Sam to apologise

about the way he reacted.

That's it, you know?

Just the bare minimum.

You know, as, as soon as that happens,

you know, we'll let it go.

(SAM WHISTLES)

There's four of us here, like, will there be five?

Will there be five?

Well. Sammy will turn up.

Yeah.

Look, I just hope Sam does the right thing today,

and apologises.

You know, the way he conducted...

Himself at the table,

at Couples' Cove, towards me...

I will never condone that behaviour,

and until he does the right thing,

no, we will never see eye to eye.

(SAM WHISTLES)

Bro. Hug, please.

Good to see you.

What's up, brother? Bro.

You good? Good, and you?

What's happening? Nice to see you.

Cheers. Cheers.

(GROOMS CHEER TO ONE ANOTHER)

Cheers, boys. Cheers.

Cheers, gents. Byron, Mikey, cheers.

Yeah, I mean, look, let's,

I wouldn't mind getting the ugly stuff

out of the way first, so, we can enjoy our day.

Um, yeah, man, last time was hectic.

Mmm. It was. It was hectic, bro.

And for a lot of reasons, like, the environment,

the people yapping (BLEEP),

man, I struggle with that, sort of, stuff.

And...

I just needed to walk away, man.

Yeah.

Like for me, like, being able to walk away

from that stops, like, 17 other problems...

Mmm. ..occurring.

OK. ..between other people.

I've got no qualms with this, bro, and I want the best for you...

Yep. ..and I truly mean that.

Mmm.

So, I'm sorry, man.

We're good.

We're good, baby.

Thanks, mate. We're good.

I'm taking the apology because,

like, the boys wanna just have a great time, you know?

I'm not a person that holds a grudge.

I don't forget...how someone acts, completely, at all.

But right now, I'm taking that apology.

Yeah. Sorry about that.

No. It's all good.

That's genuine.

Alright, let's toast to that. Yeah.

The general aspect is done,

and we move on and have a bloody beautiful day.

Let's. Let's go.

Cheers, bro.

Woo.

I didn't hear Emanuel apologise to me.

I wish Emanuel could have manned up, you know?

He saw I apologised.

I wish Emanuel could have manned up and apologised back to me.

I've got to be the bigger person here,

and I need to move forward.

You know, I know who the winner is in this situation, and it's me.

While the boys have put their feud to bed...for now...

(BRIDES CHATTER) (CHAMPAGNE CORK POPS)

Oh! (BRIDES EXCLAIM)

..over at girls' day, they're eager to discuss

what yesterday's phone crate revealed.

So, guys, I did

bring the Tangle Teezer for a reason.

Mmm?

I was hoping it would tease out more than knots.

Perhaps some secrets?

Wait, I feel like Georgia was about to tell us something.

So...um, we did the, um, the challenge...

Social media stuff. Yeah, the task yesterday.

Yeah, yeah, yep. Oh, yeah.

And...so, we got to have a look at Chad's past.

And in a past life,

my husband was a stripper.

(BRIDES EXCLAIM, LAUGHS)

Wow.

I knew it.

Girls, I've got my own Magic Mike.

(BRIDES LAUGH)

Oh, I knew it.

Zero surprises there, whatsoever.

Emanuel called it weeks ago,

we've seen the little dance moves here and there.

(COUPLES LAUGH)

He's done that a few times, hasn't he?

(COUPLES LAUGH)

Whoa. Yeah, look.

That's why I'm scared of doing a dance comp with him.

'Cause he can... I know.

I now know.

Well, maybe I could teach you guys had a lap dance for your ladies...

I'd be down for that. Oh.

Hey, I'm proud, I'm a great dancer.

(GROOMS CHUCKLE) I've got rhythm.

Nah, Byron, actually, you need a lesson.

(EMANUEL LAUGHS) Aw.

True, though. (GROOMS LAUGH)

Yeah, I'm gonna watch a video. So, how'd you go, Byron?

Yeah. Um...Brie's got Hinge.

You know I was just like, oh, so...why do you have it,

and that, sort of, stuff.

And she was like, "Well, honestly, I've been using it for,

like, kind of the wrong reasons, just kind of, like,

to get a bit of...attention...

Attention? Self-validation, yeah.

That was...that was a tough one.

You know I was just like, "Oh, wow."

And it just, it kind of immediately

brought me back to reality.

So... There are...

Yeah, we spoke about that and, you know,

classic, the always kind of,

I like always just speak the way

that they come the words come to my mouth...

Yeah. ..you know, and...

Sometimes it comes off a little bit...

Brash.

Yeah, or judgemental, or like a little bit of an attack.

How did you go, Brie?

Yeah.

It wasn't great.

Oh, no. Why is that?

Like what-what part?

Um, yeah, we went straight to Hinge.

I felt really, really judged.

He didn't like that, like, I would just go on

and just talk to, like, just talk to a guy

and not speak to him again.

Hello, we've all done that, I think.

I know, but to be honest, like... Yeah.

I felt like he... That's dating.

He was like, you're-you're on this app

to not find a guy, like, he was like,

like, you're not giving them the beautiful side of you.

You're not giving them a chance to see that.

But that's the dating app world. I deleted, I deleted...

Yeah, but hang on,

has-has he ever been on a dating app?

He did, he's been on it once and he got catfished...

There you go. ..and never went on again.

So, he's-he's like, burnt from it.

I know, like, and I felt so judged...

So, he's using that judgement,

from when he was on it,

and, like, projecting that onto you.

He just, he made me feel like a dirty ho.

Oh.

I think with Byron...

He's kind of judging her

on her dating profile a bit,

which I don't really like.

That, to me, is a little bit of self-sabotage.

He said, "You're not ready for...

you're not ready for a relationship."

Which hurt me.

I want a relationship more than anything.

I-I feel the same, yeah.

Me being on...me being on Hinge

doesn't mean I don't want a relationship.

Like...I have been so vocal about, how like,

when I... when things get serious, I run away,

which is...and I think I've made so much progress, being here.

And I felt like he just took that all away from me, in that moment.

What did...what did you guys look at?

My dating profile.

Our dating profiles.

Wait, Hinge? Oh.

Oh. OK, what happened?

Oh, the Hinge bit was fine.

He said that, um...my Hinge profile

doesn't seem to be a true reflection of me.

Oh, wow. Really? Interesting.

Because...it's not.

My face is hidden, like, my person...not,

it's not really showing...

the-the many different facets of my personality,

and I kind of took that on.

'Cause I think, like, to be honest,

I think he's right.

Do you think he was trying to, like, neg you a little bit

Um... By saying that?

No, I think he was just...

Because it's not really... it's not really...it's not really

a polite thing to say, and also, like, is anyone their true selves

on a dating profile?

Like... So... Agreed.

I just think he was delivering a hard truth, as he...as he does.

I think everyone...

Wanted to come at Jess softly.

She is a sensitive person,

but at the end of the day,

someone needed to address the elephant in the room.

I'm just gonna be totally honest.

I see, like, I genuinely see a lot of red flags with Sam.

I see you apologising on behalf of him,

for something that's not your fault at all.

I see him speaking over the top of predominantly women.

I think that he can be very abrasive in his tone.

Yep, agreed.

And I do worry that, like, you cover for him in a way.

Maybe, I mean, maybe I've softened to Sam a little bit,

'cause I do see another side of him, like, I see the sensitivity

Um...and I see that he's really going through it.

So, if that...if that, I guess if that's making me

making excuses for him,

then...that could be me

just being to-too much of an empath.

It might sound, I don't know, it might-might sound shitty, but...

Pfft, on some level, I've got to trust Sam,

and I've got to be open to him,

and open to the experience...

Otherwise, I'd be the same woman that I was...

Yep. ..eight or ten years ago.

We don't, like,

disapprove of your relationship.

But there are some things ..in Sam's behaviour...

That you're worried about.

..that I don't like.

And I think it's justified in me saying that, truly.

I don't care about him, whatsoever. Yep. Yep.

Like, I'm a girls' girl.

I wouldn't choose to talk to Amy

when I was at home.

I have people around me

that I love and I trust,

and I value their opinions, because they know me.

Amy doesn't know me.

And she still wants to give me advice,

when I don't want it.

If I'm honest, like, the irony here is

that I don't feel heard by you guys.

And... Yep.

..and that's really difficult for me.

That's why I'm struggling at the moment,

and I would like to be able to come to you all,

and hope that you're going to give me support

and not think that I'm being pathetic.

OK.

Is-is there a way that we could better support you

in a group situation next time,

so that you don't feel the way that you've felt previously?

Not giving me any more ideas about the relationship

and where it's going wrong would help.

OK, OK, OK.

I am really sick of having to defend Sam.

I'm sick of having to defend myself.

And I'm sick of having to defend the relationship.

I just want to run it the way that I want to run it.

Just...leave me alone.

(THEME MUSIC)

Boys' and girls' day is in full swing.

As the girls chill out,

and the boys get competitive.

That's six.

With less than a week left,

Mike is eager to take his relationship

with Amy to the next level,

and he's turned to Chad for advice.

Cheers, dude. Thank you.

Good day.

(GROOMS EXCLAIM)

I got him. Ah.

The golden duck.

It's always good just to get a bit of a lad's

perspective on things.

And Chad is such a nice guy.

He always comes from a very soft place,

that always makes you think about things.

And right now, I need advice.

Because...I do have feelings for Amy.

But how do we get out of this...

epic friends level,

moving forward to potentially something romantic?

How's thing's going?

Are you enjoying the experience?

Yeah, it's good.

It's actually why I wanted to talk to you,

out of all people here.

There's often times where I'm like,

"Oh, do I have feelings for this girl?"

And so, like, that's probably my challenge,

is trying to, sort of, move to that next step.

Yep. Have you held her hand?

She held my pinkie while we were sleeping.

That's nice. That's actually a big step, right?

That's a big step, from where you came from.

Oh, there-there's no doubt we've come leaps and bounds...

You know?

I think there's a small part of me

that's a little worried about talking about it.

OK, I want to... and, let's try something here.

It might be an option, to tell her babe, like,

what you mean to me is this.

Reflecting back, what I've learnt from you,

where we've come from, what you've learnt from me...

Mmm.

..I hope it's all positive, and it's leading to something

that I really wanna do, because I'm feeling this for you...

and for me, the best way to initiate that is to,

is to touch my lips against yours.

Yeah. You know...

I'm not gonna say something like that.

That's not my style.

Oh? It's not your style?

But that's, to be honest... Make it your style.

Yeah, I know, OK, OK, yeah, bro...

I'm not saying repeat it verbatim...

I-I-I understand. You're right.

But I'm saying, description before the action.

Well-well, I mean...

Have you asked about how a guy does win her heart?

You know, let...

OK, all of a sudden, you know, let-let's just take me

out of the picture, babe.

If someone was to come and...romance you...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, right.

How does one do that? Yep.

'Cause I'd love to know. Mmm.

Have you asked her that? No.

That's...that's...that's... That's probably the best advice

I've actually had on this island thus far.

Thank you, but, yeah. No, that was a good one, yeah.

So, Chad's advice today, I haven't actually tried yet.

That's a very different approach.

Intimacy is everything, for me.

I want to feel like I'm wanted.

You know, I don't feel that.

It hurts. It sucks.

I can't believe I just said that.

(SNICKERS)

But I'm not giving up.

Oh, I hope we're on the same page.

There's just something I'm missing, with all of this.

Yes.

I don't know how to piece all this puzzle together.

To give you context, basically,

the phone task comes up, right?

Yeah.

And I know, from having spoken to Emily...

on the first Couples' Cove...

Yep.

..that he matched with Emily on the day of the speed-dating.

And she... Yep.

..and she explained to me,

that there were a lot of red flags with their conversation.

Yep.

And I was like, "Can you bring up your...Apps?"

Yep.

And he was like, "Oh, no, I can't,

because...I deleted them months ago."

And I was like, "I know that's not true."

He was like, "Hinge, I did have more recently,

it was like, six weeks before the experience."

Also a lie.

This is my dilemma, like...

Mike and I have come so far.

Yeah.

And I do think that he is genuinely trying,

like, when I speak...

Oh, 100%.

He listens. He makes me laugh.

Mike is generous... Yeah, yeah.

Mike is kind... Yeah.

Mike has a soft, you know, soul...

Yes. Yes. Yeah.

And I see all of these things,

however...there are also these red flags.

And, like, they keep coming up.

Genuinely, like, I really need honestly and, like, I really...

Yeah.

..appreciate an outsider's perspective.

Mm-hm.

And, like, I wanna hear your thoughts.

What do you think about Mike?

Like, what was your take on him at the speed-dating?

I didn't like him, when I first met him.

100%. Why?

Because I asked him quite a serious question,

I was like, "What are you coming here looking for?"

So, what-what are you looking to get out of this experience

Um...a tan?

He'd prefer a tan than a wife, I think.

So... That's a no, for me.

He's obviously not serious about...

Taking this seriously?

..the process, and I judged him on that.

Yep.

But getting to know him now, in this process,

like I've seen a different side to him.

And I was like, I feel like... Yeah.

He has this really hard exterior, and he has this, like,

soft interior inside.

I agree. Yep.

But I also, like, have concerns,

and I'm starting to consider like, will this work, will it not?

What are you looking for?

..Oof.

I don't wanna get emotional.

No, get emotional. (CHUCKLES) No.

We've all...we've all cried. You know what you're...

No, no, like, like, like... Because...

Like, literally for me, like, love is, like...

the...most important thing in life.

Yeah.

And, like I...like I want...like, I want to be loved,

and I want to give love,

and I-I just want to find my person, and I want it to be my turn..

Yeah.

And I-I feel like my judgement and my gauge on men

is clearly so off.

I literally just wanna find love, and like...

Yeah.

But can I just say, like...

what is your gut telling you about Mike?

Take your heart and your head away

what is your gut telling you right now?

My gut is telling me that, like, something's very off with Mike.

(THEME MUSIC)

Boys' and girls' day is over,

and the newlyweds are returning to their islands

to be reunited with their partners.

Honey, I'm home.

Welcome back to our humble abode.

Wifey's back.

Hello, husband.

How was your day of activities? It was good.

Good?

Yeah, I wanna hear about yours, though.

Oh. Awesome. Is there a lot to tell?

Yeah, I've got a lot to tell.

There is a lot.

I got some, sort of, an apology from Sam.

Are you accepting his apology?

Yeah, for now I am...

And you're happy to move on? Yep.

I'm accepting it for what it is right now.

Well, I'm proud of you for...having the conversation.

And moving on. Yeah.

Exactly.

I was starting to wonder if you were ever coming back.

Oh, yeah.

Having too much of a good time with the girls?

Oh, my god, it was so good to come back to my island

and see Sam after the girls' day.

It's-it was such a relief.

Yeah, girls' brunch got loose.

Ooh. Loose? No, it didn't.

It didn't.

It was a little bit of a difficult day for me,

I'm not gonna lie.

I, sort of, felt like I was in the firing line with the girls.

And I wanna be here to focus on Sam and I and our connection.

I'm not gonna let the girls' opinion of Sam

ruin our relationship.

Well, come on, then.

Tell me all about it.

We all sat down, and I'm not a sports player,

but I feel like I've played a massive game of defence.

Oh. Really? It was big, yep. It was big.

Oh, my god. It was big.

It wasn't all about you, was it?

Oh, there was a lot of it that was about me.

Girls are drama.

Girls are drama.

Focus on your own (BLEEP) relationships, like, (BLEEP) off.

And then, Amy kind of took the floor.

She spoke for a bit, she said she wanted to make sure

I was feeling supported.

She said that she... Amongst the girls?

Or me?

She's worried that the way you are at Couples' Cove...

is how you...treat me here, and I said no.

I'm so confused by this.

How-how was I at the last few Couples' Coves?

I think they're talking about, like,

the-the emotional reactivity.

Amy said because, you know, he's kind of shut me down,

um... Nah.

..in front of the group.

Get over it. Seriously.

Serious hypocrites, here.

It sounds like Jess was a little bit cornered.

People like Amy need to bite their tongue more.

Since the last Couples' Cove,

it's certainly brought Jess and I much closer together.

So-so, the attack,

to try and probably separate us,

is actually doing the opposite.

Like, what else? I said my piece.

I wanted to just say shut the (BLEEP) up.

(SAM CHUCKLES)

I think maybe let's just agree to focus on this?

And each other.

Yeah, well baby, we're already doing that.

100%. That doesn't change at all.

Good.

Good.

Proud of you.

Thank you.

A day apart seems to have cemented Jess and Sam's united front.

But Brie is returning home to Byron,

still feeling hurt

after his reaction to her dating profile.

I don't, I had a really good day with the girls.

To be honest, I kind of just wanted to stay with the girls,

because I think I'm holding a little bit of a grudge

about what happened last night.

I definitely do wanna bring it up with Byron,

because I've learnt I can't just run when things get hard,

and, yeah, I do wanna move forward.

I, of course, I wanna move forward.

Howdy. Hello.

For Byron, spending a couple of hours away from Brie

has him reflecting on how he might have handled the situation better.

It was a bit on my mind,

when we kind of went through the crate.

You know, I casted a-a negative light

on the whole situation,

I found issues

that weren't really there,

they were just in here,

and...I think at the moment,

I'm thinking too much.

You know, I've done it in the past, where I've overcomplicated things.

I can only learn from that.

How are you?

I'm good.

Good day?

Yeah. It was fun.

I saw her roll in, it was nice to see her face again,

and her big smile and...

You don't realise what you're gonna miss,

until all those things are gone, and...then it kind of hits home.

Do you need me to tie that?

Yeah, can you do a nice...tie there?

Yep.

Hey, just um...

wanted to clear the air as well.

Yep. After last night.

Um...

The things that stuck with me, was, like,

you said people don't change overnight,

and I'm not ready for a relationship.

And...that's not really fair for you to call that.

Yep. OK.

And it kind of hurt my feelings.

After all of, like-like, how far I feel like we've come, here.

For someone to be tell-telling me I'm not ready for a relationship,

when, like, legit that's all I wanted...

is kind of, like, you don't...you don't know.

Yeah.

That wasn't my intention at all, I...

Yep. I'm sorry.

And I know, like, I never,

I only ever want to vibe with you... I just...

I only ever wanna discuss things with you.

Yeah. I feel...

I didn't mean to offend you at all, you know?

I just...I just wanted to try and chat,

and I'm sorry if I did.

I never came into this experience wanting to hurt anyone,

only to...try and fall in love,

and...unfortunately,

sometimes I don't word things correctly...

and I'm sure as hell not perfect,

and I'm still learning.

You know...there's not long to go,

but...you know, these kinds of experiences only highlight

how you can improve yourself.

But yeah, I do genuinely care about her a lot.

Yeah, I am really happy.

And Brie's a lot to do with that,

so...I don't wanna make her cry anymore.

I want to laugh with her again, you know?

We're clearing the air fully.

It was a big conversation for me, yesterday.

Yep. Yeah.

I feel like we're learning a lot about each other, and...

Yeah. This is all a learning curve.

He's a good guy.

I know he doesn't want to hurt me, 'cause he is genuinely sorry

and...it's hard to remember that he's also learning, too...

And...

Ah.

I'm learning to reset, and let it go.

While Brie, Byron and Boris forge ahead...

for Mike, time away from Amy

has just made his heart grow fonder.

I'm excited to see Ames.

I do have feelings for Amy.

But I need them

to be reaffirmed by her,

for her coming to the party now.

So, Chad's advice today,

is to just ask her,

what do I need to do, to make you feel like I'm giving you romance?

That's a pretty damned direct question to ask.

But...this is the point where I'm at, now.

We've got so much...

the chemistry just keeps building up.

Building up, building up, building up, building up.

And now it's just like, look, we're at boiling point.

Oh.

OK.

So, obviously, I want all the juicy gossip.

(MIKE LAUGHS) (AMY CHUCKLES)

Yeah, I had a good chat with Chad.

I like Chad, actually.

He's a good rooster.

He is funny, isn't he? Yeah, he's cool.

And he's like...I said to him, I'm-I'm just like,

look, um, I'm really liking Amy at the moment,

I'm digging her, but we haven't got romance.

And, like, how did you build yours?

And he's like, he goes, man, have you actually asked her?

Like, what she likes as romance?

And I'm like, "I actually haven't."

I should actually ask you, like,

what...what...what do you, you know, what are you into, type of stuff?

Yeah, right.

I think the hardest thing where we are,

is we've got two roads right now.

As... Yep.

..we could be the best of friends in the world,

or romance starts.

Um, yeah it'd be nice to at least, you know,

come on here for what we came here for.

And just, like, see... Yeah.

You know, how...how...how does that all of that make you feel?

Yeah, like I mean, I've obviously

been thinking-thinking about that as well.

I guess, like, you know, we left yesterday's conversation,

um...with a few things unsaid,

that I wanted to, like, chat about.

Oh, yep?

Yeah.

So, I mean, like...at our first Couples' Cove,

Em did actually mention that you guys matched on Hinge.

Apparently, one of the first things you asked her was, like,

what underwear she was wearing?

(THEME MUSIC)

At our first Couples' Cove...

Em did actually mention that

you guys matched on Hinge.

Apparently, one of the first things you asked her was, like,

what underwear she was wearing?

I would never talk to a girl like that.

Do you wanna tell me

about the conversation you had with Emily, or...

There's nothing to tell.

I mean, we matched the day before speed-dating.

We had a chat the next day, and it was just like,

"Yeah, how-how was the whole experience?"

Yeah. And then hadn't heard from her.

I didn't even know that she got on.

So...you can keep fishing around for something,

but there's really nothing to tell, here.

OK, so, yesterday you sat there and you promised me

that you will always be truthful with me...

I'm straight up. Like, what...

..and you will always be honest with me, and, I just,

I don't think you are doing that.

What does Emily have to gain...

Oh, my god, so...

..from making up a narrative like this?

Like why-why would Emily care?

Where did she pluck that from?

I...I...I honestly... And why...

..I honestly don't know.

This doesn't ring a bell, at all.

OK.

Well...like...

I don't believe you.

OK. Well...

Sorry.

Look, I can barely remember

what happened four days ago.

If there was any chat like that,

which I highly doubt...

my mum taught me better than that.

It would have, 100%,

we would have been bantering about something

along the lines of it.

But, I mean, I-I can't see that being me.

If I did, man, I'm I...I'm, I'll feel horrible, I'll apologise.

But I-I don't think so.

Yeah.

(MIKE CLEARS THROAT)

You know, uh, for me, a big thing...massive,

massive thing...is trust.

Yeah. For me, too.

And I guess I'm...

Well it's hard to move forward,

when I'm questioning your intentions.

That's essentially it.

I don't know what else to do, but to tell you what I've told you.

Being honest, and...but it doesn't really seem like it's good enough.

What exactly do I need to do, to make you feel comfortable?

No.

Uh...

uh, I don't know.

Sorry, I don't.

Mmm.

I'm feeling pretty disappointed.

You know, I mean...

where we started to where we are...where we are now,

look, how far we've come.

And yet, instead of actually acknowledging that and going,

wow, she is looking for reasons to-to crush this.

She's found it.

What are we doing here?

I guess the reason I brought up these concerns

is because you want to try it with romance...

I'm struggling, right now.

And I just...I don't know if I can.

Yeah.

Alright.

Why don't we just, I'll process all that, and then...

Yep. Yeah.

Yeah.

(MIKE GRUNTS)

You know, I-I was starting to have a little bit of feelings for Amy,

and...I actually thought we were starting

to actually develop something.

I came here, put my best foot forward

and just given this the best shot.

But sometimes your best isn't good enough, so...

Yeah.

It is what it is.

I feel terrible.

I was...wanting, at this point,

um...for things

to be really working.

But they're not.

I just don't think he's my person.

Still to come, next time...

a bombshell dilemma lands on Amy and Mike's beach.

"If you pull the flare, you will leave the island.

But in doing so, you will allow someone else to join Amy

in a second chance at finding love."

Wow.

What a bombshell.

I came here to inevitably find love.

If I leave...

maybe this could be me giving her what she wants.

Is Mike about to make the ultimate sacrifice?

I don't know if my decision will be right or wrong,

but I'm just going to... I'm just gonna do it from the heart.
