Hi! Oh, hello. Previously...

Oh!

..as three new couples
made their dinner party debut...

I like to meet somebody,
and there's, like, that flirty vibe.

I'm pissed off.

..new bride Leisha
caught Leah's eye...

They're hot. Blue eyes.
Oh, of course you BLEEP noticed.

Ooh! But husband Reiss...

On the plane on the way home,
she was banging back wines,

sick all down her,
chatting to some geezer. What?!

..was less impressed
with his new wife...

Everybody else is holding hands.
Stopped holding hands

because you said, "Don't hold my
BLEEP hand" and stormed off.

To me that is immature.

..and she soon came
under fire from the group.

Do you think you should be sat on
a plane talking to a boy?

Probably not.
I've had past relationships.

That has never been a problem.

Um, no. Babe, you've just had
a honeymoon with this man.

I felt disrespected.

Meanwhile, a candid question...
Do you feel like there's a spark?

No.

What am I supposed to say?

..renewed long-held fears
for Sarah.

I just can't keep doing it.

I can't change my feelings.

Tonight...

For me, I checked out of my head.

..hard-hitting honesty
from the couples...

What more can I actually do?

You've done something
to piss me off.

..and the experts...

Why weren't my feelings considered
in this?

That is a masterful deflection.

We are talking
about your wife right now.

..makes for an emotional
make-or-break commitment ceremony.

I'm worried that if I give up,
that I'm going to be, like,

"Oh, I wish I'd tried."

Sarah...

..I think you're clutching
at straws here.

You know how you feel.

CHUCKLING

Don't headbutt Benji!
He's got a sensitive skull.

Babe, do you want a brew?
Yes, please. Tea, please.

Milk and sugar? Yes, please.

It's the morning of the third
commitment ceremony.

What's this? Bronzer. Yeah.
Use it sparingly.

Oh, no, no, no.
What do you mean, no?!

My Lord. Thank you. Your sandwich.
Are you having one?

Yeah, I'm having one. Oh!

Grace and I are
in the best place we've been.

We had a great
dinner party last night.

Like, even got a kiss at the table.

And I had
breakfast made this morning.

Did you see that? I'm well happy.
Thank you very much.

Come on. Come on, bacon breath.

The dinner party last night,
that was a lot.

Mm. We're having a laugh,

apart from when you're being a knob.

Really? Let's be honest, right?
Going into the dinner party,

when we was telling the people that
were there about the new couple

Reiss and Leisha.

Mm. Obviously, you've started with,
you know, like, how she looks.

In the north, words are different.

Down here,
maybe "fit" means I fancy them,

Fit, to me, means like they're a
really good-looking couple together.

Acting that way towards other women,
it's disrespectful

and it makes me uncomfortable.

Especially if the girl's her type.

I've been humiliated in my past
in these sorts of scenarios,

so I really need to think about
what I'm going to do

at the commitment ceremony today.

We've just got over one situation
where I felt

a little bit uncomfortable about,
like, certain behaviours

and certain comments, and then
we've gone in and there's another

person that's come in that's -
bang, that exact same type.

Just a little bit too far.

Does she actually believe
I fancy Leisha?

Because that's just ridiculous.
This just feels like the Rebecca

situation all over again.

It's confusing for me,
because on one hand

she's saying she doesn't like me
in that way,

it's not there for her yet.
But then,

you know, this is the second
person she's got jealous about.

It doesn't add up,

and it's definitely gave me
a lot of things to think about.

And this is just a huge, huge
decision I've got to make today.

Me and Leisha, unfortunately,

we're not in a good place. There has
been, like, a lot of drama.

I'm seeing, like, other little sides
of her that I'm not a fan of,

like last night's dinner party.

She is fiery
and I can't be with no-one

that gives me drama,
especially unnecessary drama.

It gets boring
and also it's draining.

Last night, looking around,
it's our first dinner party.

Everybody else was holding hands.
Everybody else is lovey-dovey,

and I just needed that little bit
of reassurance.

I'm honestly quite nervous.

We did have our ups and downs,
and I just want to try and fix it.

The ups have to outweigh the downs.

Coming into our first
commitment ceremony,

it's going to be an important day.

It's going to be a test for us,
because I've got

a big decision to make.
And right now I don't

really know which way
it's going to go.

I'm nervous about today.

I am definitely getting really

strong feelings for Reiss.
So I don't want to hear

that he doesn't like
me the same way.

Tonight's commitment ceremony
will be better than last week,

that's for sure. Last week
was an absolutely grilling,

so... Mm. I'm looking forward
to asking

the experts and saying,
"We've made baby steps,

"but what can we do to progress it
again?

"Just to get closer to each
other

"and try and get those feelings
going again?"

Because I feel like we're friends
at the moment.

We can't really stay like this.

Friends don't give each
other smooches.

Friends don't give each other hugs.

So obviously there's more than
a friendship basis there.

Yeah.

We have been a little
bit affectionate with each other,

but I would love Steven to give me
a bit more reassurance.

Like hearing, "Babe,
you look nice today."

Or, "Come here,
I'll hold your hand."

It's not that there's no romance
there at all,

but the way I am, I'd just like
a little bit more. Mm.

I was confident going
into today's commitment ceremony.

We have made progress
in this past week,

but the conversation Nelly and I
had this morning

has definitely thrown me off.

For me, if the romance wasn't there,

I wouldn't be here
and I'm sure she wouldn't be either,

so I have no idea
what to expect now.

Here we are. Amazing.

Thank you. Thanks for breakfast.
You're welcome.

I'm looking forward to
the commitment ceremony.

Yeah, definitely.
I just feel really,

really privileged that we haven't
had a hiccup. Mm.

It feels like a breeze still.

It'd be nice to kind of speak to
the experts about our connection,

our relationship and see, like,
how far we can progress.

The first thing I want to do
is thank the experts.

Here you go.
Half a croissant for you.

That'll do, darling.
We've got a busy day ahead,

like, haven't we? Yeah.

So how do you think the commitment
ceremony is going to go for us?

Um, obviously you've not
had a good week. No.

So this week's been a tough week.

My grandad has passed away.

I've not shared this news
with the other couples.

I've kind of just been keeping
everything bottled up.

But I think by doing that,

it is having a negative
effect on our marriage.

We just brush things under
the carpet and we just carry on.

And the reason that I don't,
like, open up about stuff

is because I don't want to,
like, dampen the mood in the house.

Do you know what I mean? I know,
but I don't want to feel like

you can't talk with us, because
you're going to dampen the mood.

Like, arguments we've had as well,

we kind of just be like,
"Oh, it don't matter",

and we just kind of get on with it.

Me and Joe have just been,
like, plain sailing,

nothing bad has happened.
The relationship's fine,

but whenever it feels like things
are getting tense,

we just change the subject.

But there's a couple of things
that I do think we need to address.

The commitment ceremony is, like,
the best time,

just to be honest, innit.
So I just think it'll be good for us

if we open up and actually
just talk about stuff.

Yeah. What's been going on.
Just in my opinion,

I don't think everything's as, like,
rosy as it seems.

Hello. Hey.

This morning, waking up,
I'm feeling a bit deflated.

Hearing Sarah say that she doesn't
have the spark did throw me,

because I thought we were
progressing

and it was growing into something.

So I keep pushing
and I'm pushing it forwards,

but if she's checked out,
then I can't push it on my own.

So it's, um... Yeah, it's a big one
today.

How are you feeling
after last night?

A bit confused now.

To be honest,
last night has completely thrown me,

I'm not going to lie.
I was obviously, you know,

thinking, yeah, this is positive,
we're going in the right direction,

but I just feel like I'm now
in my head

about this constant spark
and the romantic,

and do you think it's...?
I'm like, "I don't know."

No, I don't fancy Dean.

Since their wedding,

Sarah has struggled to feel
a physical attraction to Dean.

Have you ever been with anyone big?
No, I have to admit. No. Mm-mm.

Is there anything Dean could do?

Get some tattoos
and lose some weight.

Both have tried hard
to ignite intimacy...

How's that? Yeah, that's nice. Good.

This is a step
in the right direction.

We're giving it a go.
We're giving it a go.

..encouraged by advice
from loved ones...

Do I just kiss him
and see what happens?

I do think sometimes you can, like,

fall in love with someone's
personality.

..but doubts persist for Sarah.

I want it to be there. Well, don't
rush it. If it comes, it comes.

If it doesn't, it doesn't. Do you
know what I mean? I know, I know.

We are getting more like touchy
and things like that as well.

You know what I mean? We are
progressing in the right way.

Absolutely.

It's just this fucking spark thing.

Like, do you feel that?

What? A spark? Yeah. Put a word on
a spark. You know, just that feeling

that you get in your stomach,
that sort of, like, buzzy feeling.

To me, it just meant like there's
something that could grow

from there. That's not a spark,
though, Dean. That is a spark.

That's the start of something,
right? Oh.

Fucking hell.

Everybody knows what a spark is.

It is progressing.
It is getting better.

So that's a win to me.

Is that going to be something
that can grow or become a thing?

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

I think there's something
worth fighting for.

But I don't know
what Sarah's thinking.

So it's a big thing for me today.
It's make or break.

I am torn about what I'm going to do
at today's commitment ceremony.

I do think Dean's an incredible
person.

And I do care about Dean a lot.
However...

..I am now getting more into
my head again

with sparks and feelings
and attraction.

I have to think about what I want.

I have to think about
what I came here for.

I don't want to hurt him.

I genuinely don't know
what I'm going to do.

My head is fucking scrambled.

Welcome, everyone,
to today's commitment ceremony,

especially to the three new couples

that are joining us
for the first time.

You have just three

more commitment ceremonies left
after this one.

So, today we're going to demand

that you be your authentic self

and tell us your true feelings.

Stop holding back.

We cannot help you
if you aren't honest with us.

First on the couch this evening...

..Abigail and John.

Hi. Hi. Welcome, guys. Take a seat.
Good to see you.

Well, lovely to see the two of you.

Welcome to your first
commitment ceremony.

Thank you. Thank you. OK,
so take me back to the wedding.

What were your first impressions
of each other?

I think it was probably the best day

of my life, honestly. Aw.
No, genuinely,

like, I just saw kind of John
turn round,

and the first thing I noticed
was his, like, bright blue eyes.

And I think that just, like, melted
my heart a little bit.

It sounds like there was an
attraction from the onset, really?

100%. Yeah, definitely.
It was just amazing.

I said I wanted somebody whose
smile lit up a room, and yours did.

I said I wanted somebody
who I could stare in their eyes,

and I haven't stopped staring
at your eyes. Like, it was just...

Honestly, it was just insane.
So tick, tick, tick.

And then you go on your honeymoon.

What was that experience like?
The honeymoon was class.

We were in the Seychelles,
like dream location.

And each day we grew
and we grew closer and closer.

We have really good communication,

so I think the whole time
we were just explaining how

we felt, being really open
and vulnerable with each other,

and I think we both then were,
like, able

to let our guard down
and just, like, relax

and show our true selves.

And what I love about, like, John
so much is like he lets me be me.

And I've never had
that in a relationship before,

like, I've always been put
down in the past,

and I've always felt
like I'm not good enough.

But, like, John makes me feel
like I am good enough

and it's OK to be me.

Yeah, it really is.
And it's the same for me.

I'm becoming a better person
every day because of you as well.

So there's a really strong
connection here, which is fabulous.

I'm very excited to see
where this goes.

Shall we go to a decision?
John, if we start with you.

Yeah. I'm having the absolute

time of my life with you.
Every day is amazing.

And I can't wait
for what we've got to come.

So my decision is to stay.

And, Abigail, what's your decision?

So, honestly, I couldn't have asked
for a better husband.

Like, he gives me everything
that I need.

And also what I want, like you do
make me, like, a better person.

I'm just really excited
to see how far we can go.

So that's why I wrote stay.

And a little heart.

Aw. Well, Abigail and John,
we wish you a phenomenal week.

Good luck. Thanks. Thanks.

Thanks. Thanks. Thanks.
thanks. Yeah!

Next up to the couch,
if we could have...

..Leigh and Leah.

Hello. Hello.

Ladies, so last week,

when you were both here,
you said you had a wonky week.

LEIGH LAUGHS

How would you describe this week?

I think for me, I wasn't as driven
in this relationship.

I kind of checked out in my head.
OK. What happened?

I felt like what it was, like
for the last three weeks

I was, like, trying so hard
and I didn't

feel I was getting anything back.

And there was the confusion
of seeing her kind of get

her back up or get a bit jealous
here and there.

Obviously, there was Bec Gate
and then I mentioned Leish,

she was good-looking last night,
she was getting upset.

I was like, "Yeah, they're fit."

That, to me, is like a normal
thing to say.

OK. Leah, can we talk about this
behaviour for a moment?

Like, I'm a very complimentary
person.

I think some people do take
that as I'm flirting.

But I do feel like people
in the North

are more complimentary than people
in the South.

Yeah, I hear what you're saying.

However, ultimately, we want you
to feel safe with each other.

And if you correct that,
it's going to create safety.

Fair? Fair. Fair? OK.
All right.

Leigh, you've had this feeling of
jealousy. What is that feeling?

I wasn't sure
where that was coming from.

I didn't know what that meant.

I didn't know if it
was coming from a place of being,

you know, we're still
in this together,

and we've still got a loyalty
and a respect for each other,

and I felt disrespected.

Or if it was because, you know,

there were feelings there
and I was like,

"Oh, actually, I don't really
like the thought of that."

I've got in my head and I've been
out of my head

and I feel like - I don't know,

I mean, like my logical
analytic brain,

24/7... Leigh, when you feel
an emotion

and you have a feeling around it,

catch yourself doing that analysis

and just move off of feeling.

Do as you feel,
opposed to as you think.

OK? I don't know why I find it
so hard to do that.

But sometimes it can be a bit of
a defence mechanism.

Maybe it's about just trusting
your feelings more,

Leigh, and not just staying

in that space of intellectualising
everything. Mm.

I just got a little bit emotional
there for some reason. Why?

I don't know. I think it's... Oh.

Allow yourself to feel.

Sorry.

I think, um...

I've been through, um...

..a lot of situations where...

..me acting off of how I feel...

..has just ended really badly
for me...

..um, has just led
to me getting really hurt.

And so... You're protecting
yourself. Yeah.

But I don't even realise I'm doing
it, until you've just said it.

Yeah. Yeah. And it's like
I've turned something off

in me from, like, my
previous relationship

and I, like, can't get it back on.

So this is a great insight
for you to be aware of.

Yeah. And I guess the next

step is recognising that, OK,

being fully present emotionally

has not worked for you in previous
situations. Mm. Got it.

You need to protect yourself
from that.

And that's smart.
But if you were to start taking some

baby steps toward
a more emotional style,

I think it would be received
pretty well. Yeah.

Um, there is something there
and something to build on.

So I want you to know
that I care about you

and that's why I am trying to make
the effort to get out of my head.

All right.
This is a positive step forward.

OK.

Are we ready to go to a decision?
Yes.

Leah, can we start with you?

So it was a hard week for me.

Like, I was umming and ahhing
about it. I was thinking...

.."Do I just need
to kind of bolt at this point?"

Because, yeah,
it felt like it wasn't

really going anywhere romantically
and emotionally.

But in turn, like, now I know this,

I want you to know
that A, you can trust me.

B, that obviously I care about you.

And I am glad I have chose to stay.

APPLAUSE

Obviously, I've got a lot

going away
from right now to think about.

I think there's a lot more
going in my head.

Sorry. Fucking hell.

There's a lot more going on
in my head than I realised.

But...

..I was firm on my decision

because I knew
that I wanted to make the effort

and I have been hoping
that everything

that we've spoken about wanting
to come would come.

So I've decided to...

..stay.

APPLAUSE

All right.
That was incredibly powerful.

We thank you both. Thank you.

I think you know exactly
what you need to work on this week.

Yes. OK. Thank you.
Well done, both of you.

Next up to the couch...

..Nelly and Steven.

Hello. Hi. Hi, guys. Hello.

Welcome to you both.

All right. How are you both feeling?

Better than last week. Yeah. OK.

So you had in-laws week.

Nelly, who came for you this week?
My sister and my brother.

Your sister AND your brother?

Yes. All right.
How was that experience?

Yeah, it was amazing. I mean,
because I'd had such a bad week,

I think I was like, "Oh, my God,
this is exactly what I needed."

And I wanted you to obviously see
them and spend time with them.

Yeah. But...

..I had to tell them about,

you know,
the injury and the idiot comment.

I'm not going to lie, they've got
their back up a little bit

because they've seen me be hurt by

the other men that have been in
my life.

Their advice was, "Just be a little
bit more guarded", I think.

OK. But now, do you feel
as if the challenges

that you had previously have been
addressed and resolved?

I mean, I don't think they've been
fully resolved... Yeah, we've

addressed them. I think, for me,
I'm still in the back of my head

a bit, like I know you say you care,
but I need you to show me.

And I kind of... I feel like I've
mentioned it,

but there's only
so many times I can say it.

If you want a kiss,
just come up and kiss me.

Like, if you want to, like, I don't
know, like grab me up,

then go grab me up. I'm doing what
you want me to do. I'm asking for it

because I'm not getting that...
I'm not feeling affirmed in that.

I'm just telling you - like telling
you what I'm feeling here.

Yeah. Can we can we explore
that just a little bit? Yeah, yeah.

So, Nelly, it sounds

like you're not feeling secure
in your relationship,

and I want to address that.

I want you
to give me your honest truth.

Yes or no. OK. OK.

Do you feel like
in your relationship

with your partner
that there have been times

of conflict where your feelings

or your experience
has been minimised?

Yes.

Question number two.
Do you feel like that

sometimes there's an issue
that you bring to him,

and when you get into the
discussion, the issue is deflected?

Yes, I'm sorry.

OK. But then, like, say that
I'll deflect because

that's what I'm good at, right?

When I opened up last week, my
feelings were shut down like that

and I had to go straight back
to this.

And why weren't my feelings
considered in this?

So that is a masterful deflection,

because we are talking about
your wife right now.

And I'm not just talking about
that week.

I'm talking
about how your partner feels

when she reflects back
upon your entire relationship.

You see that shake?
You see that shake?

You're minimising her feelings.

You see that shake?

You're minimising her feelings.

Oh, wow.

Like, it's literally like...
I'm sorry, but it feels like

it's always me, me, me.
It makes it seems like

I'm the bad person,
when I know I'm trying to do good

and try and please people
and try and listen to people.

It's then, "Oh, I'm doing
this and I'm a bad person."

You know, Steven, just because
the intent isn't bad

doesn't mean that it doesn't need
to be addressed.

Now, Steven, here's the thing.

I'm not coming down on you

because I think
that you are a bad guy.

But I do believe you deflect.

I do believe you minimise
your partner's feelings.

And if you can accept this,

you can catch yourself
in the future with the behaviour,

you could change your behaviour

and you could have
a stronger relationship.

That's all I'm saying.
Yeah, yeah, I agree with it.

It's just obviously shit to hear.

The bad behaviour
for me last week was based on

a situation which was out
of my control

because of the news of my stepdad
being in hospital,

which I communicated.

You know what, Steven?
Here's the thing,

my heart goes out to you
about that situation.

You have gone through
traumatic events in this experiment,

and that shapes how we see the world
and our behaviour. Yeah.

But that's behaviour

that I guarantee you
you can correct.

And I think it's very important
for you, Nelly, to give him space.

Yeah. But you also have to ensure

that you're getting what you need.
Take her feelings into account.

When there's an issue brought up,
you handle the issue

and then your partner
is going to feel affirmed.

Then you win.

Is that fair?
That's absolutely fair.

Yeah. All right. And apologies

for having my back up as well,
but that's... Yeah.

No, no, I get it.

The reason why I'm pushing is
because I want you to become better.

OK? Yeah.

OK. Can I ask a really quick
question?

Yes. Um, on that bad week
that we had,

we opened up emotionally
because we had the Ask Me Anything.

And obviously this week
has been baby steps just

trying to get back to it
as a restart.

Yeah. How do we start trying to get
that emotional intimacy back?

It's everything that we're saying.
OK. Because safety is the key.

And what we're talking about here
is going to create safety.

OK. All right. If you could do that,
the emotional connection

will be there.

Thank you. OK.

let's go to a decision.
Nelly?

Um, so obviously this week
has been baby steps...

..but I really want to work on being
in a safer space with you

and just feeling like we can
open up more.

And obviously, I fancy you,
so I would like to stay.

Steven.

So it's been a tough
couple of weeks.

But I know what I need to work on,
and I'm very much in this.

Mm. I want an emotional connection
and, yes, I fancy you,

so, yeah, my decision is stay.

Thank you both
for your willingness to listen.

Your focus this week is continuing

to create a safe space
for each other.

OK. All right? Thank you so much.
Thank you. Thank you so much.

Come on, you. Thank you.

OK. Next up to the couch,
Rebecca and Bailey.

Hello. Hello. Hello.
All right? Hello.

How have the two of you been good?
Good. Really good. Really good.

Yep. Yeah? Good week? Really good
week. Really good week, yeah.

Good stuff.
So let's look at the dinner party.

We noticed that there was lots
of physical affection,

you guys were in a really
great place.

Yeah. And there were lots
of moments where I was like, "Aw!"

That's nice.
How are things with the two of you,

with regards to intimacy? Um...

Spot-on. I'll just say I
can't keep my hands off her, so...

Um, I think you described it

in the beginning as,
like, well-matched. Yeah.

Yeah, we're very well-matched, if
that makes sense. You're welcome.

Yeah. Well done on that one.
So, yeah, thank you.

Good stuff.
So I am conscious about the fact

there hasn't really
been any conflict.

No. Yeah.
We've not had anything big.

We've had like a few tiny,
small things,

but like really small. Like...

We've had no issues, like...
Yeah. Like, the conflict

Bailey's talking about, like...
Can I say this about what you do?

Yeah, of course you can.
I was sewing at the time.

Tell them why you sewed! No, no!

He's brought a little
hand-held sewing machine

with him to sew the arms
of his t shirts tighter,

so he looks buff.

LAUGHTER

Yeah, I like to tailor my shirts,
so...

But we were bickering about it

because it was stressful.
We were arguing about that.

And it kept breaking, and I was
like, "Oh..." I couldn't do it.

And I swore at him
and he swore back. And then

we just laughed. We just laughed.
And that's, like,

literally, all we've had.
Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, we've actually had no issues.

So your relationship is going from
strength to strength. Mm-mm.

What do you think would be useful

in terms of what we could
do to help you moving forward?

I'm apprehensive about what's going
to happen when we leave.

I think the distance
will be our biggest issue

because we're, like, five hours away
from each other.

So I do have concerns around
if we were to make it work

and we really wanted to give it a go
when we got home,

how would we cope with that?

I suppose it's about taking it step
by step, isn't it?

Yeah. And I think that maybe
I'm a firm believer in love,

but I think that Bailey has said
that he loves you.

And, you know, I'm sure, Rebecca,
that, you know,

when you're ready,
you'll say the same. Mm-mm.

And with love,
you'll be able to work it out.

That's nice. Yeah. Yeah. A nice way
to put it. A nice way to put it.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah? Yeah.

OK, let's go to a decision.

If we can start with Bailey. Yeah.

Let's just talk about now,
I love just the laughing,

joking at home, dancing around

in her underwear, like it's just
the normal stuff I'm loving doing.

And I feel like I get a bit
closer to you every day

and I can see your feelings grow
as well.

So a really easy decision for me.
And it's stay.

Oh! R&B. R&B.

Yeah. Very cute.

That's lovely. Thank you, Bailey.
And Rebecca, what's your decision?

Um...

Bailey's really, really important
to me.

And I think everybody here
knows that

I absolutely adore him.

Um, so my decision is to
obviously stay.

APPLAUSE

Excellent.
So continue to enjoy these moments,

but also maybe introduce
the conversation around

what the next stage looks like
for the two of you

and continue to dance around your
living room in underwear.

Uh, have fun. Thank you, guys. Thank
you very much. Have a good week.

Thank you.

Next on the couch is April and Leo.

Oh, shit. It's going to be us.

Oh, shit.

Hello, you two. Hi. Hello.
Welcome aboard.

Thank you.
Bit of a shock to the system,

I imagine. Yeah. Right.

Well, why don't you take us back
to the wedding day

and the moment

you first clasped eyes
on each other.

The wedding day was so good.

I think as soon as I saw your
mullet, I was like, "Fuck, yeah!"

I don't know why. That's a great
response to a mullet.

I love it. I don't know why.
It put my mind at ease.

Yeah, definitely.
It was 50-50 on the mullet.

But, yeah, it was a really good day.

You could see instantly
why we'd be matched,

I think, because we have so much
in common and...

Lots of green flags.
Yeah, there was a lot.

It sounds like a really positive
start to your marriage.

Definitely.

So how are things going from
an intimacy perspective?

I'll let you lead on this.
Uh, we did the deed.

Um, but... Um, and continued
to do the deed.

Um, but, like, I think...

..as time's gone on for me, like,
almost...

I haven't expressed this to you
and I'm really sorry

I'm doing this right now, but, um...

Like, as much
as I do find you attractive,

um, for me,

I almost feel myself retracting
a little bit

because there isn't the deeper
connection yet.

OK.

For me, I have...
I have concerns.

So what kind of concerns came up?

We weren't having easy
flowing conversations,

when I think that should be
very easy at the beginning

of a new relationship.

I was, like, give it time
or sit on it and, you know,

hope and wait to see if it
gets better.

I think, from being single
for so long myself,

it's just an adjustment. Yeah.
If it's because he's not been in

a relationship for so long,
and you're just getting used to it,

then that's just a hurdle.
Do you know what I mean?

We'll get over that. But if that is
just his personality,

then that is a problem.

And then I think... So what does
your gut tell you?

Is this the way he's adjusting,
or is it his personality?

Um...

I feel like it might be your
personality.

OK.

Yeah, that is... It is just a worry
for me. Do you know what I mean?

I think it's just me

becoming more comfortable being
in a relationship situation.

I'm worried that I'm not asking
the right questions sometimes.

Yeah. What if I said
to you there's no wrong questions?

What if I encouraged
you to just jump

in to these conversations
with April?

Be curious. Ask her questions.

Show her that you want to know
what's beneath the surface,

because you can't
really get it wrong.

No. Straight up. Honestly, anything.

Just talk shit to me
and I'll be happy.

Yeah, I definitely think
moving forward,

the more time we spend together,
the more I am able to open up.

But it hasn't come naturally to me.

But it's definitely something
that I'm willing to work on.

Yeah, no, for sure. And it's just me
expressing any concerns,

and hopefully they are just hurdles
and we can get over them,

do you know what I mean? Yeah.
So...

Well, I'll actually say it's
quite positive

because you're saying you want

to get to know him at
a deeper level.

Yeah. Isn't she, Leo?

She is, yeah. She's actually
saying she wants more.

She wants more of the mullet. Yeah.
She wants to see more of me.

You've shared with us some
little wobbles

that you're having, and this is very
real stuff. OK.

We're going to go to a decision.

Let's start with you, Leo.

So, April, I love all
the stuff that we have in common.

I'm just looking forward to get
to know you

a lot better on a deeper level.

I have chosen to stay. Fantastic.

Beautiful.

Thanks, Leo. And to you, April.

Yeah. I mean, at the end of the day,
there is honestly

so many positives to you and us,

and I can definitely see
why we've been matched.

And you really do take everything
on the chin.

So, yeah,
I have decided to stay.

Fantastic.

Well, well done, you two.
I think the next week is all about

now taking it to the next level.
Ask those questions,

show that you're interested
in each other beneath the surface.

Stay honest. Stay real.

Thank you. Thanks, guys.

Next up to the couch,
if we can have...

..Reiss and Leisha. Come on up.

Hello. Welcome, first time. Yeah.

How do you truly feel
in this moment?

Um, there's definitely been
some ups and downs.

Um, first see Leisha on
the wedding day,

I was over the moon.
Like, the attraction was there.

All right,
so there was the connection there.

Oh, yeah, 100%. He's gorgeous.

And everything he said in
the vows is exactly what I wanted.

But when we got to the honeymoon,

we had, like, a couple of rows.

Um, Leisha was getting quite
stressed

with me because I weren't going
at the pace that she was happy with.

But to me,
I'm not doing nothing wrong.

I'm just going at my pace.
So, Reiss,

what is your pace? So, you know,

when you get to the stage
where you say, "I love you",

that kind of stuff, that normally
takes me at least

like six months. Whereas Leisha
said to me like quite early on,

like, "Are you falling for me yet?"

And that made me
a bit scared, I'll be honest.

How long into the marriage
did she ask you that?

Um, second day.

Wow. That's quick.

It wasn't like falling in love.
I think it was just like,

"Do you see potential?"
Because I am somebody that does need

that little bit of reassurance,

and Reiss can be slightly cold
at times.

It does give you that anxiousness.
The only reason...

The only reason you get a cold
frostiness from me is

when you've done something
to piss me off,

which was the cold frostiness come

after the flight back from
the honeymoon.

So we definitely need to talk
about this,

because here you have a moment
where your brand-new wife

is talking to someone for an hour.

Reiss, how do you feel about
that incident?

I felt like that's really taking
the piss.

Leisha talking to the fella
for, like, an hour,

that one, for me, showed a bit of
disrespect.

Straight away, I wasn't interested.

I was just like,
"You've pissed me off now,

"I need like ten minutes to
cool down."

You felt disrespected.
Yeah. OK.

This is a great moment right now
just to stop and say,

"This is how boundaries are
set in relationships."

In my perspective, it was totally
platonic, and it was friendly.

But I definitely seen
where Reiss was coming from.

And, like, I totally apologised
and put my hands up and was like,

"Yeah, I wouldn't do that again."
OK. Yeah.

There was also something else
that happened just

before we was walking into
the dinner party.

Like, we was both standing outside,
I understand Leisha wanted me

to hold her hand
as we was walking in,

but, like, I didn't hold her hand
for, like, two seconds.

And I went to grab it
and she was like,

"No, don't fucking hold my
hand now."

And, like, stormed off.

I did snap in that moment

because Reiss doesn't
give me any reassurance.

And that's what I really needed

in that moment because I felt,
you know,

quite vulnerable,
like I need somebody

that takes consideration
of my feelings

and, you know, wants to hold my hand
as we walk into a dinner party.

I shouldn't have to tell my partner,
"Hold my hand."

She didn't need to, like, start
effing and blinding

and storm off.

Already, like, too much drama.
To me, it was unnecessary.

I just feel like we did take
a step back.

So that being said,
where you sit right now,

how do you feel about your partner
and your marriage?

We're not as strong
as what we have been.

OK.

Leisha, how do you feel?

Yeah. It's not nice to hear, is it?

But I'm...

Aw!

Sorry!

Leisha, how do you feel?

Yeah. It's not nice to
hear, is it?

But I'm...

Aw! Aw!

Sorry!

I just feel like it's just...
It's just been a lot.

Obviously, like...

..that's just my personality,
and I can't...

Like, I can't change my personality
and...

Oh, I don't know.

Obviously, I like him.

A lot.

I'm giving everything

and I don't feel like I'm getting
the same back.

I want to know his intentions.

Like, when I'm asking these
questions as well,

he thinks I'm having a go.
I'm not having a go.

I'm just trying to figure out
what he wants out of life.

Like, am I something
that he sees

in the future? Because I know
exactly what I want.

I really want a family.

And, you know, it's...

Yeah, I feel like we're just
on different pages,

maybe at the moment. And...
Yeah, this is

about simply how you miscommunicate
with each other.

Leisha, you're asking to be
affirmed.

Yeah. You're asking your partner

to show you that he's in it.
Yeah, that's all I want.

This is baby steps. Yeah.
So it could be something as simple

as in moments
where there is tension,

let's give each other
a cool off period,

let's come back.

We're going to give each other a hug
and a kiss,

so that you know I have a problem
with the issue, but not with you.

Yeah. OK? And for Reiss,

I believe you need
to assert boundaries.

Yeah. So in these moments
where you felt disrespected,

I would challenge you to think
about, "OK, what would have

"made me feel respected in
that moment?"

And articulate that
and the reason why.

Right? And then ask your partner,
"Is this a boundary we can place?"

OK.

All right. Let's go to a decision.
OK.

Leisha.

Yeah. I feel like, obviously,

I've been a bit of a nightmare
the last couple of days.

But, yeah, I've took accountability
of, like,

things that I really need to work
on, and I want to get to know

Reiss, like I really want to get to
know Reiss.

And I feel like there's so many
layers I want to discover.

So I put stay.

All right. Reiss? OK.

Um, I've made this decision...

..because I feel like we have been
in a better place

than what we are now.

Um, there's some things
that I don't really agree with.

But seeing the connection
that we've had in the past,

we have good banter with each other

and the attraction, that's
there as well.

So I have seen what we can
potentially grow to,

and I do want
to see a little bit more of it.

So for that reason I chose stay.

Beautiful. You know exactly
what you need to do.

Yeah. Do those things.

You'll come back next
week even stronger.

Thank you! Good work, guys.
Well done. Thank you.

Our next couple up...

..Grace and Ashley.

Hello, you two. Hi, guys.
Good to see you.

Welcome. It's good to see you guys.
Good to see you.

Last time we were on the couch here,
it was a little bit tense.

I'll say.

But we have to say

we quite enjoyed watching
you last night.

It was quite lovely.
And certainly, you know,

during the honesty box there was
a bit of openness,

a bit of sharing,
and there was a bit of a kiss.

There was. Told you she'd do it
eventually. Mr Boombastic here.

There was a kiss
and we enjoyed that.

Yeah. Me, too. I can see that!

And I'm glad that you did.
So, yeah,

we went from the worst I've felt
in this experiment,

and I think the same goes for you,
to the best place we've ever been.

OK. And that's in a week. OK.
So... What changed?

Uh, in-laws. Mm-mm.

So what feedback did you get?

My friends, they were very pro -
like you guys need to just have fun,

take the pressure off.

For me, it was
great to meet Ash's family

because they validated
that Ash is extremely generous,

that he is all of the things
he's presenting. Yeah.

I feel like you're seeing me
for who I am. Mm.

I'm not a nasty person. I mean
well,

and I feel like I've been kind
of really patient. Yeah.

But I don't feel like I need to be
that any more.

Like, I'm starting to kind of drop,
and it's getting easier for me.

And we've just kind of gone from
strength to strength.

Yeah. I wore a dress to the dinner
party.

I didn't ask her to do it. Just
want to throw that out there.

Grace's choice.

But those things, they did work...
But they mean a lot to me.

They mean a lot to you.
Like those little things.

I accept now

that there is no ill intent
or malice,

and that you do want to be the right
partner for me,

and that you are listening.

You are acting on the things
I feed back.

You care. And now I'm willing to
maybe give it

that more time, or I'm just more
open to it. This is great.

It's done a 180. We're king
and queen of the 180.

Well, what I'm hearing, Grace,
is that you are starting to trust.

Yeah. Which is a huge leap from

where you were when we first met.
Yeah.

I would love
for each of you to tell each other

what you need
from each other this week.

I think we're
in such a good place now.

Grace is back. Like bubbly, fun
Grace is back.

I think you're starting to enjoy

who I am to you,
so just keep that up,

I would say. Grace,
what do you need from him?

I'd love to be doing more
of the fun stuff that we did

this week. We'll be the silly,

fun people that really enjoy each
other's company.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, you two have had
an incredible week.

I'll say. Really. This is wonderful.

This is real progress and I have
so much more optimism

for you this week than I did
last week. Thank you.

Thanks, guys, for all your help.
We're going to go to a decision.

Ash, we'll start with you.

Um, every day my feelings grow for
you.

I think you're an amazing,
intelligent, funny woman.

And, yeah, I really want to see how
far we can take this.

So I'm a definite stay.

Brilliant.

And to you, Grace.
Um, somehow Ash and I keep rising

from the ashes as phoenixes.

Um, there's so much I like
about you

and I'm so happy
to be here with you.

So I'm going to stay.

APPLAUSE

Well, thank you.
So good to see you smiling,

laughing together.
More fun this week.

More fun this week.
Good on you, guys. Well done.

That was amazing.
Oh, thanks. Thank you so much.

Next up to the couch,
Julia-Ruth and Divarni.

APPLAUSE

Hello. Hello. Hello.
How are you guys doing?

Good, good, good.

OK, so how has your week been,
guys?

It's been good. We'll talk about,
like, in-laws week.

I think, if you like,
remove that from there,

I feel like we're doing really well
in terms of where we had conflict

from in-laws week, we were able to
like deal with it a lot sooner.

So take me back to the in-laws week.

Um, my friends and family weren't
too impressed about the things

that kind of unfolded between us
in terms of the conflict.

Right. Divarni, what was your
experience of the in-laws week?

OK, so my experience on that
was heavy hitting for sure.

I did break down. Um, I just felt
like you can't move on

if you're still reminiscing
on the past, you know what I mean?

We're not trying to continue
that circle.

Just break it so that we can
break into new challenges

and new, new ways of building
that relationship.

Yeah.

How do you feel like
the relationship has progressed?

I feel like Divarni has such
a good point

in terms of it's enough going around
in a circle

and kind of rehashing things.

Stop picking at that wound
and focus on the good things.

And that's kind of
where we're at right now.

And I've told her, like,
I've got strong feelings for her.

And that's something that I know
will grow into something magical

later. She has made me breakfast,
so it has been pancakes and bacon.

I'm not going to lie,
it was banging.

And where are you guys
at with intimacy?

I think we're still taking our time
with that one a little bit.

No-one's rushing anything and
there's no pressure

in this situation. I'm comfortable.

So I'm not saying that there needs
to be pressure.

For sure, but I'm very comfortable
where I am.

But I just feel like it's something
that has been avoided here.

You know what I would love to know?

Are you physically attracted
to each other?

100%. I am 100%.

Like, I tell her every single day.

Like, I'm just a bit behind
and slower, like.

So you are physically attracted
to Divarni?

I think he's an attractive man, yes.

No...

Oh!

Don't think Julia-Ruth is answering
the question. She's not.

Are you physically attracted
to your husband?

Yes, I mean, you are attractive,
yes.

No!

Are you physically attracted
to your husband?

I'm getting there. I'm on the path.

So are you saying at this stage
you're not

physically attracted
to your husband?

So are you saying at this stage
you're not physically attracted

to your husband?

I think it's just taken me a little
bit more effort than normal.

OK. It kind of sounds like
maybe more conversations

need to be had in terms of how
you progress that,

because I'm sure that's something
that's quite important

for the two of you. Yeah.

OK, let's go to the decision.

Divarni, let's start with you. All
right, so it is a roller-coaster,

but I value you a lot,

and just want to basically keep
going down this journey with you.

So I have decided to stay.

APPLAUSE

Lovely. Julia-Ruth, what's your
decision?

Yeah, I feel like we're trying to
stop the circle and go forward.

And, yeah,
I feel like we just keep doing

what we're doing
and we'll see where it goes.

So I have written stay.

APPLAUSE

Excellent.
So onwards and upwards, guys.

Onwards and upwards.
Yes. Have a good week.

Thank you. Thanks, team.

APPLAUSE

Next up to the couch,
if we can have Maeve and Joe.

CHEERING

Got some fans. Wow. Yeah,
Maeve and Joe are loved.

All right. So, good to see you.

How are you feeling?

It's been a pretty weird week,
to be honest.

Um, yeah, I've had
something going on at home.

There's been, like,
a death in the family,

and I didn't want
to sort of tell anybody.

Obviously Maeve knows,
but I just didn't want...

I just didn't want to bring
that negative energy to the table,

do you know what I mean?

Well, first, Joe,
our heart goes out to you.

Yeah. OK? And we appreciate you
just being here, right?

Secondly,
can we talk about this notion of

you don't want to bring this
to Maeve?

Why do you do that?

Um, because I just want her
to have the best time possible,

and, like, I don't want to bring
my shit to her.

Then, like, I feel like I'm not
there for you

because you're not telling us.

Then I feel awful,
do you know what I mean?

Like, I can't do like my best

if you don't tell us
what's going on.

Like, we're just acting
like everything's fine,

but if it's not fine, it's OK
it's not fine. Mm.

You know,
Maeve is saying I want to help you,

I want to be there for you.
And it's like just giving her

that opportunity without kind
of worrying that she can't take it.

Just talk to us.

To be fair, in my
past relationships,

and this is like my biggest
criticism from my exes

would be that I always just want
everything to be fine all the time.

And I could never have anything
like negative happening.

I'd just either run away from it
or just completely ignore it.

If you continue to do that,
what you're saying is

is that you don't trust
your partner,

you don't feel fully safe
with your partner,

and therefore you won't be able to
emotionally connect

with your partner.
But I think what I'm saying

is we share all the positive,
but none of the negative.

We've not really been fully honest
about our arguments as well.

If there is like a problem,

we might like make a little comment
or something

and then just ignore it
and brush it under the carpet.

It'll get spoke, but like it doesn't
get resolved, does it?

Exactly. Yeah. And why?

Honestly,
I think, just from my opinion,

you'll just react in like quite
a snappy way,

and then like, I'm like,
oh, well, what's the point?

And then I'll like move the
conversation on

and we'll have a laugh about it.

But conflict is not bad.
You don't have to stay away from it.

I've been holding back because I
don't want to, like, upset you.

Because you know what I'm like.

I go from like, I feel like I'm
going out from like, zero to 100

in my head, I feel like
I'm spiralling. Mm-hm.

And I don't want to be
that person around you.

This is interesting.
So then, Maeve, let me ask you.

You said you haven't been your true
self. Well...

If you could describe Newcastle
Maeve in three words... Yeah.

..describe Maeve.

Loud. I'm outgoing
and I am quite opinionated.

OK, that was definitely not who we
saw at the dinner party last night.

Yeah, I know.

That was definitely not
who we've seen these last few weeks.

So where did she go? I don't know.

Do you think it has anything
to do with the fact that Joe's calm?

I don't know, like,
I feel like you have calmed me down,

and I do enjoy that. But there's
still that side of me

that's a little bit like
fucking nuts.

Do you know what I mean?
So now there's calm,

but then there's also compromising
who you are.

Yeah.
Just to make your partner happy.

Yeah. And, Joe, you are compromising

in terms of not disclosing your
true feelings

just to make your partner happy.

Agreed?

Yeah. And what's interesting
is your demonstration

of not sharing suggests
that you're not

as emotionally connected
as maybe we thought you were.

If you want to better connect
with your partner,

you have to be authentic
with each other.

Joe, how do you believe you get
to this space

where you can disclose
more to Maeve?

So I just need to learn that, like,
I can just be open and honest

with her all the time
about everything.

And not everything's going to be

like sunshine and rainbows
all the time.

Right. And then for Maeve,
how about this?

When an idea comes to your mind,
instead of editing yourself...

Just say how it is.
Just say it how it is.

OK. That's easy, right?

Well, after speaking to you guys,
yeah. I'm sound with that now.

Good. There you go. All right.

So there's no better time than now
to go to a decision.

And, Maeve,
if we can have you go first.

So there has been times
when I thought,

if you can't open up to us,
then where do we go from here?

Mm-hm.

But obviously I love you.

Like I actually do
and I obviously care for you,

and this has just been like
a learning curve, hasn't it?

But, like, I'm going to stay.

APPLAUSE

Thank you.

Joe. Um...

When I found out
this news this week,

I just hadn't dealt
with it very well.

It's a big thing for me opening up.

But like, the feelings I have
for you are genuine.

So, yeah, obviously,

I really want to give this a crack
and just keep going at it.

So for that reason, I'm staying.

APPLAUSE

You know, can I thank you both
for opening up?

Continue to do that
not just with us in the group,

but most importantly
with each other.

All right. Thank you.
Nice one, thank you. Cheers.

APPLAUSE

Next up to the couch,
Davide and Keye.

APPLAUSE

Hello. Hello.
Hello, good to see you.

Hello, how are the two of you doing?
Good. How are you?

Good. You're even talking
at the same time.

I know, this is just going to become
a one thing at the moment.

OK, so dressing similar,
talking together at the same time.

Excellent, and the physical intimacy
side of things

you absolutely don't need our
help with.

That is clear to see.
How do we get the goodie bag?

And I'm loving how tactile
the two of you are,

and we noticed that
at the dinner party as well.

And Keye,
you delivered a fantastic speech.

I'm glad you liked it. I was
sweating so much.

He hates public speaking.

There is no situation in which
before Davide,

I would have ever stood up
and given any form of toast.

I just wouldn't have done it.
But knowing that he's there

and knowing that I'm doing it
for him gives me

that confidence to do it. So I'm
more myself than I've ever been

because of this man and his support.

I love how the two of you
support each other,

not just in these moments, but in
what I would call the moments

when technically no-one is looking.

But we're still looking.
I think it is beautiful.

I can be myself with Keye 100%.

He doesn't judge me for what I wear,
the way I paint my nails.

He doesn't suppress me.

I don't have to change
who I am around Keye

and I can speak and I can be
vulnerable

because I know I have him.

Excellent.

So tell me about in-laws.
Yeah, it was my mum

and then both
of our best friends came.

Yeah, and it was, you know, it was
really fantastic to have them

all there. It was good for me to put
my mum's mind at ease,

that I was happy and with someone

that cares about me
and that I care about.

So, yeah, it was, it was,
it was really positive.

And we heard you drop the L bomb.

We did. Yes, we did.
We did indeed.

Tried to sneak that one in,
didn't you?

I can see that, you know, the love
between you two is very strong.

You know, you have a really
fun relationship.

You're very tactile.

There's so much great
physical affection,

so a really great partnership here.
Yeah.

OK, if we can go to decisions,
we can start with you, Keye.

You bring a smile
to my face every single day.

I've never met anyone that has lit
up the room the way you do.

And I cannot wait
to continue doing this with you.

So obviously I am going to stay.

APPLAUSE

And Davide, what's your decision?

All I want to do is to keep growing,
keep learning about you,

and so I chose to stay.

APPLAUSE

Lovely. So have a good week, guys.
Thanks so much.

Thank you, guys. Thank you.

APPLAUSE

The last couple we would like to
invite to the couch

is Sarah and Dean.

APPLAUSE

Hello. Hello there. Hello.

Welcome back to the
comfortable couch.

Let's make it uncomfortable.

We're going to go right
to last night. Mm-hm.

Where we heard, Sarah, you say that
there's still no spark with Dean.

For me, things have been
moving positively.

But I can't seem to get to
that sort of spark.

And I think I'm getting in my head
about it quite a bit at the minute.

OK. Dean, we observed you
last night talking about

what is starting to develop
for you with Sarah,

and you mentioned
that you fancy her.

Yeah, yeah, definitely. Yeah.

Do you feel
that that's reciprocated?

I'm not sure. I hope it can be.

I was like kind
of putting more things,

like holding hands,
like little bum taps,

like little kisses on the head, on
the shoulder, you know,

just to kind of like, I want to be
more than your friend, you know,

kind of putting that out there.

But when we had my friend here
at the in-laws week,

he's like, "Cut the BS.
Like, are you happy?

"Like, how is it working?"

It's like, "We are progressing
and stuff."

He's like, "But who initiates it?"

And I was like, oh, yeah, it is...
It is me the majority of the time.

He's like, "What do you want?"

I was like, "I'd love for like Sarah
to come to me

"and do those things to me,

"but I'm scared if I don't do it,
it won't happen at all."

It's a tricky place to be in.

Dean, what's the name
of your friend?

James. James is a good friend.

James is smart
and is looking at you

and he knows what you deserve.

And he can see
that you're not getting it.

Sarah, when Dean's doing these
little things,

the touches and the just
that physical interaction

that's more than friendship,
how does that land for you?

I think initially I was a wee bit
unsure and I was going with it

because I was like,
let's give it a go and see.

And I think...

I think it's just happening
almost too much for me now.

OK. You've sat here and articulated
that you see potential here,

yet when Dean
is showing ovations toward you

in a way that is more than friends,
you're saying that's too much.

So you're sending
very mixed messages here.

I just don't know
why I can't seem to...

..get past this attraction
or if it's ever going to come.

I just don't know.

I really want it to.
He's an absolute gem.

He's my biggest supporter.

When I have been really struggling
in this process,

he's been absolutely incredible.

I'm just gutted.
I just really want it to work.

What do you want to work?

As a romantic, like, I want to see
if that's going to develop.

I think we're almost
at that point now where,

well, maybe if you take a step back,
if I still feel the same...

I don't know.

Sarah, I'm wondering if you're
making excuses here.

OK.

I wonder if it's easy for you to say
I'm not sure or I don't know,

rather than say, actually, I don't
think this is going anywhere.

And perhaps you're doing that
because you're wanting

to save Dean's feelings,
but you're possibly making it worse.

But I'm worried that if I give
up that I'm going to be like,

"Oh, I wish I'd tried."

That's why I think I almost need
just another week

just to see if I can come to you.

Plan a nice date and see how I feel,

and then I will know

that I have given it absolutely
everything. Sarah.

I think you know how you feel.

OK.

I think you're clutching
at straws here. OK.

And this is not to be harsh.
This is to be real.

We are halfway through
this experiment.

My head is I don't know. Yeah.

I think you do know that this isn't
going anywhere.

At the moment,
it's just a friendship.

It doesn't sound like there's
any desire there at all.

At what point do you call it quits?

At what point do you call it quits?

Yeah, I understand
what you're saying,

but we've made such big steps
and you've said you can see it.

It is progressing, yeah.
It's moving forward.

But, Dean, Sarah's also said
that the affection is too much.

Mm-hm.

I think you're both in denial.

And I say that with respect.

I've given it everything, you know.

We all see.

And what you have to
be careful of is that

it's not to the detriment
of your own self-worth.

We love the two of you, absolutely,
but together, do we think

that this is a relationship
that is moving in a good direction?

No.

Yeah.

I just wish it was different.
Yeah, well, me too.

Well, I think the two of you know
what the smart thing to do here is.

You just may not be quite ready
to say it.

Dean, what's going through
your mind?

That it's shit.
It's a really shit situation.

Because I just was hoping
that it would work, you know?

I just want to be loved, bro. You
know, that's what anybody wants.

You know what I mean?
That's what anybody wants.

And I come in here with the biggest
hope that I'm going to find it,

I'm going to learn.
And I have learned about myself.

But like, I went straight back
to my old ways

of putting someone on a pedestal,
you know?

But I don't know how
to be different.

I guess that is just who I am.

But how you're different
is in this moment,

you choose yourself. Yeah.

Yeah, true.
And you're aware of what's going on.

You know, you can label it. You can
say, "I went into my old patterns.

"I put her on a pedestal.
That doesn't work for me.

"I'm not going to do that again."

You've heard all of our feedback.

You've heard the feedback
from your friends.

You've seen the feedback
from your partner

in terms of not being receptive.

So you have all of this information.

What are you going to do with it?

Listen to it.

But are you going to act on it?

If I respect myself,
I have to, innit.

Can you tell us what you deserve
in a relationship?

I deserve to be wanted. Just someone
who, like, adores everything

about you, you know?

Like I deserve to not be, like,
asking to hold someone's hand.

You deserve more. Mm-hm.

And equally, Sarah,
you deserve more.

I know. I know.

You deserve different.

Yeah. You know, you do deserve to be
in a relationship

where you fancy the pants off him.

You know, that's absolutely
what we want for you.

You know, we want that
for both of you.

OK.

Well, we do need to go
to a decision.

Dean, we'll go to you.

So I had written, like, to stay,
because I wanted to see if there

was something I could change, but...

..yeah.

OK. Thank you.

And Sarah. Yeah, I had the same.
I just thought we would give it

one more go.
So I'd also written stay.

So now that you've had the benefit
of this discussion...

..how do you feel about
what you've both written?

I think we've tried, you know,
but I can't do this any more.

It's tiring to keep trying.

If you honestly feel like you can't
do any more,

I do have to leave.

Like, of course it will hurt me
a little bit, but I'll be OK.

It will hurt more, I think,
the further...

Yeah, I think then in that
case, then we call it now.

I don't want to hurt you any more.

Yeah. Like, that is not
what I want to do at all.

I just don't think we're right
for each other romantically.

Thank you for being honest.

And, um...

It's OK that it's not worked,
and someone will be out there,

I'm sure. And I've just got to take
what I've learned from here, yeah.

100%. Yeah, and thank you for being
absolutely amazing,

because you have been...
You've been my biggest supporter.

And it's been a really rough ride.

And I'm so sorry
it hasn't worked out.

And thank you. And thank you, guys,
because it's been hard.

OK.

Just to confirm,

I just need each of you to say
what your final decision is.

Dean.

My decision is to leave.

Thank you, Dean. And Sarah.

My decision is to leave.

Thank you.

Well, thank you, both of you,

for being so incredibly open and raw
and honest with us today.

I think there's a lot of people here
who want to give you

some hugs and kisses, so go for it.

Cheers. Nice to meet you.
Good to meet you.

Oh, don't make me...

I am overwhelmed.
I am emotional.

I really gave this process
everything.

But I did come here for love,

and hearing the experts' advice,

leaving is the right thing to do.

You deserve the world.

I'm gutted. I come in here thinking
I was going to find a mother

to my kids, the grandmother to my
grandchildren, you know?

Oh!

But I can't keep putting stuff out
if it's not coming back.

I'm going to miss
all your smiles.

I owe it to myself to, like,
respect myself enough to be like,

this isn't right.
You do need to go and just go

into the world ready to find love,

and hopefully have
that happily ever after.

Next time...
I don't think he's really trying.

..even while apart...
Just say, yeah,

you are treating me like
a fucking piece of shit.

..Nelly... I'm not you!

..and Steven...

I don't think any of this
is Nelly's fault.

You did fuck up.

I'm done with it.

..find their marriage
stays under fire.

Clowns.

And for Divarni..

You have great sex,
you have great sex,

you're not really having any
at the moment.

..the burden
of a long-hidden secret...

So I know the truth.
She knows the truth.

This is really starting
to piss me off.

..sparks an explosive clash
with wife Julia-Ruth.

I looked like a complete
fucking fool today.

We need to talk
about this off camera.

You could be honest!
Let it fucking go.

You want everything
to be done your way.

No respect for me at all.
I don't know where we go from here.
