- A really easy decision for me. Stay.
- Previously...

Stay. Stay. ..it was a commitment
ceremony of celebrations...

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

Bubbly, fun Grace is back.

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

..and revelations...

You're not as emotionally connected
as maybe we thought you were.

Yeah.

..ahead of an emotional exit
for Sarah and Dean.

We've tried, you know,
but I can't do this any more

It's tiring.

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

My decision is to leave.

My decision is to leave.

Tonight...
I don't think he's really trying.

..even while apart...
Just say, "Here, you are treating me

"like a BLEEP piece of shit."

Nellie...
I-I'm not you! ..and Steven...

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

You did BLEEP 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.

You have no sex.
LAUGHTER

..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 BLEEP fool
today.

We need to talk
about this off camera.

You can be honest. Let it BLEEP go.

You want everything
to be done your way.

No respect for me at all.

I don't know where we go from here.

I'm so excited to have a spa day
and get our nails done!

Today, the group is splitting
in two, with husbands

and wives spending time
apart on separate days out.

Just let the hair down. Yeah.
Get in the Jacuzzi. I can't wait.

One half is arriving at a luxury
spa,

while the other heads out
for cocktails.

Come on, you lot.
We're away from the partners.

Let's have a good day, yeah?
Left the ball and chain at home.

In this phase of the experiment,

our couples have been spending
nearly every waking hour together.

It's so nice just to have
a little break from the hubby.

I know! Cheers, babe.

While this level
of closeness can deepen their bond,

it's equally important
that they take some time apart

to gain perspective

and reflect individually
on their relationships.

This is nice. Stunning.
Oh, here we go. Woo!

How can I help you today?

Can we have,
like, four tequila shots, please?

Absolutely.Yay!
LAUGHTER

Today offers a valuable

and mutually beneficial opportunity
for each newly-wed to seek support,

gain perspective,
and find greater clarity

on their journey so far.

Right, let's have a cheers

and let's not think about
what they're doing. Cheers!

Good to get out...
It is good to get out.

..finally. Yeah. You know what?

I actually think this is really
what I needed.

Come on, girl.
This is what I needed.

It was a pretty
hard commitment ceremony last night,

so, no, I am really excited
to see everyone,

have some drinks, have some convo.

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to
it.

Would anyone ever, like, make their
partner do a lie detector test,

if they weren't 100%, like,
believing what they're telling you?

It depends what it is...
You would love a lie detector test!

Yeah. You would
have one in the house.

You're thinking of
where they sell them now.

You're gonna go home...

If you had one... Well, I want to
know... Would you ask him

about his feelings, just so...
...Yeah, of course

..you put yourself at ease?
You only ask one question -

do you fancy me?

Yeah. That's just me, right?
That's because,

clearly, and I hate to admit it,
I'm obviously insecure about that,

so I just want to make sure
that he does.

But he says he does,
so I have to believe him.

This is the first time in my entire
life

I have told a man that I like him.

Since the, um, commitment ceremony,
though...

..how's that been, like,

has that affected your, like,
relationship at all?

Yeah, of course, like...
How's he been since?

It was really, really hard
and, don't get me wrong,

the experts have called out stuff
that he has done in the past.

Do you feel there have been times

of conflict where you have been
minimised?

Yes.

Do you feel like there's an issue

that you bring to him
and the issue is deflected?

Yes. I'm sorry.

But, when I opened up last week,

my feelings were shut
down like that.

So why weren't my feelings
considered in this?

That is a masterful deflection.

We are talking
about your wife right now.

You see that shake?

You're minimising her feelings.

Oh, wow.

What Paul was saying was valid.
I have felt those things

at some point in this process.
Yeah. And he did them.

And I feel really guilty,

and I literally cried after because
I felt so bad

that in that moment I
didn't stand up for him.

I hate upsetting people.
But you didn't upset him,

to be fair, his own actions being
handed to him upset him.

I think it's the avoidance. He goes
in tangents and starts talking

about different things. Yeah,
and I'm like, "Just say it, man."

Yeah. And it comes across
that he's kind of shifting blame

and sometimes it does

get shifted onto you,
which is totally unfair. Yeah.

I am finding it hard
to hear them speak

about Steven in a negative way,
but I think also a part of it comes

down to the fact that I do obviously
really like him,

and I do want him to feel like
I did have his back

and support him where possible,

but there is a line where there's
some things I can't defend.

Oh, hello, lads. You all right?

How are we doing?
Hey, lads. Ooh!

Nothing to see here.

Good?

Very much looking forward to a
relaxing spa day

after last night's commitment
ceremony.

Fresh opinions, fresh energy,
new lease of life.

How'd you find last night?
Yeah, it was, um, intense.

Yeah? How are you feeling,
genuinely?

Yeah, yours was a bit brutal.

I'm feeling all right.
At first it was...

..I was a little bit like, "Ooh."

It's not exactly the ideal
situation to be put in.

Yeah.
You handled yourself pretty well.

Yeah, you really did. You did.
Do you know what? I feel like

she's honestly a sweet,
lovely girl.

I think she just honestly,
genuinely does have, like,

really strong feelings for you

and I think that's where
the insecurities may come from.

Coming away from the commitment
ceremony,

I think it's a hard one
because I didn't feel supported.

So, I think I'm more annoyed at
the blind-siding from Nelly's part,

to be honest, saying I don't
consider her feelings

when that's not been the case
since day one.

So, why is she waiting till now
to say it?

It's obviously going
to get my back up.

Divarni, was that proper intense
for you guys?

I mean, yeah. I've had my ups and
downs for sure. Yeah.

The first week, I got a grilling
from Paul and Charlene. Did you?

Yeah, yeah. Why? Just because we had

a couple arguments throughout
our honeymoon

and it was just more, like,
dealing with the conflict side.

But, outside of that, we're pretty
much good, to be fair. Oh, good!

I suppose my only concern is
that he's just way further

ahead than me in terms of like,
progression...

..but like, I'm on path,
but I just like,

I know he's like 20 million miles
ahead.

It worries me a little bit,
but bless him...

I feel like it's nice to, like,

not be with Divarni today, just
to have like a breath of fresh air.

I feel like this is a little
bit needed.

I said to him,
"Is there anything bad about her?"

And he's like, "There's nothing
bad. Like, she's perfect."

So how are you feeling
about you and Bailey at the moment?

I feel good. Like, I feel
like we are sailing through it.

I like him so much.

I feel super lucky that
Bailey and I are in a

really consistent place and our
feelings just grow day by day.

It's exciting to...to think about
what the future could hold for us.

How do you feel, like, on
the back of the commitment ceremony?

Because, you, I feel like that was

the first time you opened up,
like properly opened up.

I feel like Leah feels slightly

different towards me now,
in a positive way,

now that she's seen me be able
to be vulnerable.

I've been through a lot of
situations

where me acting off of how I feel

has just led to me getting really
hurt...

..and so... You're protecting
yourself? ..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.

If you were to start taking some

baby steps toward
a more emotional style,

I think it would
be received pretty well.

Yeah.

Moving forward, if I feel something
in the moment

with Leah, just act on it.

Don't overthink it.
Don't get too in my head about it.

Just act and be... Just be in the
moment and enjoy it. Yeah.

And don't overthink everything.

And she's just been well
patient with me. Really? Yeah.

The commitment ceremony yesterday
was tough for me and Leah.

I was quite vulnerable
and I got some home truths,

but I feel like they were needed.

But I do feel like
we're both feeling

like we're in a similar
place at the moment.

The fact that she
broke down, obviously,

I don't want to see
that - it's not nice.

And it did make me sad,
but I've needed that. Yeah.

I've needed to see

that she has got a heart in there,
that she has got emotion,

that she is feeling something.
So I think, for me, now,

I just need to make her aware
that A - I'm not going to hurt her.

B - it's all right to be vulnerable
with me.

Like, I feel like we could
go somewhere.

How do you feel about your ball and
chain?

We're all right, but we're not
at the same time.

Like, last night, we had an
argument.

What was the argument about?

He just said, like,

you need to start looking
after yourself this week,

but then listed everything
that I needed to do.

Like. Like what?
Like, get your lashes done.

Get your nails done.
Do this, do that.

Oh. But then he was like,
I didn't mean to,

like, make a list. I just wanted you
to feel better about yourself.

I know it came from, like,
a good place, but

at that time I thought, "Who the
fuck are you talking to like that?"

But I was just like, "Whoa!"

I was like, "Don't tell me
what I need to do."

So I stormed out the apartment,
right? You did?

Oh, yeah.
By the time I'd calmed down,

I thought, "Right, I'm ready to,
like, speak to him."

So I go to the apartment
and I'm like, "Where are you?"

He wasn't in the apartment.

So then I was like...
He wasn't in the apartment?

No! So now we've argued,
I've cooled down, like,

I want to come talk to you
and you're not there,

and you haven't even told us
that you fucked off. Oh.

So now me head's spiralling as well.
Is it? Yeah.

It's been doing me head in,
I'm not gonna lie.

I don't want to argue with Joe,
that's the last thing I want to do.

Of course, it's upsetting

because Joe means
the absolute world to me.

I know it's obvious to people

that, like, I haven't
really been my full self this week.

Yeah. Obviously,

I've got stuff going on at home
and my grandad has died,

which has not, like, helped at all.

But me and Maeve have
had this, like, argument last night

and I've just got huge doubts
in my head.

What was that about? I just said,

"Can you look after yourself
a bit more this week?"

Like, "Go and get your nails done,
have a sunbed,

"just do whatever you need to do
to, like, feel good."

Did she react to that straight away?

Yeah. She just stormed off,
got really, really wound up,

and then it just wound me
up because I'm like,

I just didn't understand
the reaction.

She's very, like, bang, as well.
Like, nought to 100 rapid.

It's just not how I deal with shit
at all.

Like, not at all.
And because she just went at me,

I were, I were just absolutely
fuming, like fuming.

I don't feel like Joe's a talker
though, like,

so I don't feel like he's ever going
to be like,

"Oh, this is
what happened between us."

Do you know what I mean?
He won't ever...

I don't think he'll ever spill the
tea.

There's nothing to worry about.

I feel like he just,
he's so into you,

the way he looks at you and glows
when he looks at you. He's obsessed.

For real, though. Yeah.
Yeah, he's definitely into you.

I feel like me
and Maeve have been in this bubble

and then I've, like,
been in denial about all, like,

the differences we actually have...

..and how maybe we're not
compatible,

but, because we've been in
this bubble,

I've just kind of, like,
ignored it all

and then I've just bottled
it all up.

And I think that's just,
like, really affected me

because I haven't just been able
to be my full self.

I'm actually very shocked.
Every couch they've had on

the commitment ceremony, they've
been saying they're perfect.

This hasn't started since you said
"I love you", has it?

No, because, like, I do genuinely

have love for her, like, I genuinely
do.

But then, do you love her?

I do love her in, in a way.

But am I, like, truly head over
heels, truly in love?

Probably not.

There's just,
like, these massive differences

where I'm just thinking,
"Is this actually going to work?"

You know?
You know, like, on the couch? Yeah.

It's all been sunshine and rainbows.
I know.

So, have you held it back from
the experts?

I haven't just been fully,
fully honest.

I think, because we do care about
each other,

we don't want to, like, say negative
things about each other.

But, in reality,
there has been things

that have happened where it's like
not good.

How are you feeling? Are you going
to move forward with it?

I can't just hold these issues

in any more because it's literally,
like, burning me up inside.

I'm hoping this isn't
Joe just running at

the first hurdle
because I think he'll regret it.

It's been very hard,
for me bottling all this up.

I really feel I can't do today.
I'm feeling very overwhelmed.

Absolutely exhausted.

I need to leave
and have a little time by myself.

This is nice. This is cute.
Oh, nice.

Shot of dessert. Yeah.

Oh, gosh. Oh, straight on it.

Straight in it. Yeah! Woo!

What have you lot been up to?
Uh, we did cocktail making.

What?! Have you been making
us cocktails?

Did you taste the backwash in there?
LAUGHTER

We do need to play a game.
Snog, marry, avoid.

Really? Yeah.
Can't choose your partner.

Go on, Maeve. Right. Snog,

it would be probably Reece,
right? Marry, it would be...

..Ashley.

And avoid...like, Nelly.

Any reason for that?
I love you, but I couldn't deal.

Fine. Fair. Very honest.

OK, your go. Oh, shit.

Oh!

I would snog Ashley.
Ashley's doing well.

Go on, Ash! Ash is cleaning up.
My man.

I'd marry Steven, sorry.

And I would avoid Leisha.
I can't. How come?

She told me that she was, like,

vomiting on herself and then, like,
flirting with someone on the...

I had it, and I couldn't do it.
Yeah. Fair enough.

Moving on.

Yeah, come on. Leah. Yeah.

I'd probably snog Leisha. Oh, right.

I'd marry Reece. Awh. That's nice.

I'd avoid Leo only because I haven't
got to know you yet.

Ohh!
LAUGHTER

How's everyone feeling? I know.

Well, how are you guys feeling?

And you? Yeah.
How do you feel? You're very happy.

We know you're loving life. Yeah,
we don't need to hear about yours.

We could see how happy you were.

Yeah, honestly,
he's an amazing guy.

An incredible guy.

I couldn't have asked
for, like, a better man.

Like, he gives me everything

that I want and also everything
that I need.

And, like, I am falling
for him, I will admit that, like...

Aw!

And, as a couple, I feel like we've
grown so much. Aw, that's lovely.

And I'm just really excited
about, like, our future and

I just, yeah, I'm...
Cheers to you guys.

I'm not even joking. That is too
good to not cheers to. Guys!

Cheers. Thank you.

Me and Abby initially, like,

we had everything,
but then we started laughing.

I was like, "Oh, class, I've got
this as well."

Happy days. Like proper,

like, belly laughing over
the game of cards and stuff.

Do you know what I mean? I
was like, "Oh, nice one."

The banter's got to be there, innit?

100%. Sexual attraction and banter.

You're a little bit further down
the line than what Abby and I are.

Yeah. But you're an amazing example
of what I've got to come.

That's nice to hear.
Yeah, cheers, mate.

And I know, Maeve, you
and Joe are really, really good.

I know that you've got, like,
an amazing relationship

and it's great
that you're doing your thing.

I do miss Joe
and, after our argument last night,

it's actually killing us inside,
knowing that he's so upset.

Like, I can't wait to go back
and give him a cuddle

and tell him everything's going
to be OK.

Nelly, how are you getting on
with Steven at the moment?

You know what? That commitment
ceremony was really heavy...

because Paul said, "In this whole
process,

"have you felt dismissed?"
Yeah, I have felt dismissed.

He said, "Are you feeling,
like, the deflection?"

We've all, we've all seen it, right?
Yeah.

But I feel incredibly guilty
for not sticking up for him.

I don't think you should
feel guilty,

though, because you have
felt them emotions.

Yeah, I have. I just feel so bad
because I just never want him

to feel like I'm here
to hang him dry or not support him.

But I knew at that point, like,

I have to be honest,
I have felt those things.

I'm not going to lie to the experts.

So last night was fun, wasn't it?

Yeah, right. That was brutal for
you. Yeah.

Can you see where you went wrong?
Yeah,

I know, 100%, and I held my hands
up to that.

You did fuck up.

You didn't prioritise Nelly as best
as you should.

Yes, but in that moment,

I was annoyed at her
because I would have spoken

up against Paul if he
had said it the other way around.

You wanted a bit of support.

We're supposed
to have each other's backs.

Did she ever feel like that?
Probably.

Yeah. That is the truth.

Did you ever feel, made her feel
like that?

Probably. Yeah. Probably.
Like, do you deflect?

You know you do.
You said it yourself.

I think, at times, Nelly
has probably felt like that.

Yeah. And I think, like, maybe you
could just take that on the chin.

And do you know what, what she said
to me afterwards,

because I spoke to her
after the commitment ceremony,

and she said, "Out of all of this,
like,

"I just feel like I want
to protect him."

And, because of
what happened on the couch,

she just feels like she's now

in protective mode and wants to,
like,

put you in a little bubble of,
like, this isn't who Steven is.

I don't want her to change
who she is.

She's not going to change
who she is.

She just wants to care about you.
She's protecting me...

..but I will see a change
if it does happen.

But also... If then she's
then not being genuine to herself.

But your focus right now
is completely in the wrong place.

You're focused on Nelly
now changing her behaviour,

and then you not feeling like it's
going to work because

Nelly's trying to protect you.

Yes, but I've felt blind-sided
three times by her now.

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

to be perfectly honest with you.

I'm not saying last night
was Nelly's fault.

I'm saying there's three
previous times

when she's blind-sided
me with things

when the cameras have been rolling.

We're bringing back things from the
past... No, no, ..not yesterday.

But this is what I mean,
this is what I'm trying to get to,

like, I'm telling you how I'm
feeling

and, again, it's like, yeah,
but it's irrelevant.

It's not fucking irrelevant.

I'm telling you, she's blind-sided
me three fucking times,

which I'm allowed to feel,
which is... Steven, I...

..which is what we said was
what we promised.

I'm sorry. I'm talking.

When we've promised not
to blind-side one another,

be open and honest with one another,

and then she's not done that to me,
it's going to put my back up, right?

I can't. I'm going to disagree
with you there.

We'll go to someone else then
because I'm getting annoyed myself.

But this conversation started with
you taking accountability...

When I'm when I'm talking
about something which is

that matters to me,
it's disregarded, so...

It's not. I asked you, Steven, it's
not. It's fine. We'll move on.

I asked you the question of...

We'll stop talking about it anyway

because obviously eyes and ears
are here and...brilliant.

Obviously, girls are gonna
have girls' backs, right?

So let's just cut this conversation.
It's not that.

It's just all I wanted
was for you to say accountability

and you blame Nelly.
I didn't blame Nelly.

But, again, once I then start
opening up about things...

It's not that you're opening up,
Steven. It's not.

No. But it has been that again.

Your feelings
and Nelly's feelings can both be

equally as valid. But when I have,

when I have a say on something,
people are like, "Yeah, but this.

"Yeah, but that." So I'm just done
with it.

You're taking it the wrong way.

Because maybe you talk
about your own feelings

more than you talk about,
like, how you've made Nelly feel.

You do. OK, Rebecca. Babe, you do.

I don't want to talk about this.

It's not an attack on you.
It's not an attack on you.

I'll step out and get another drink.
I'm fucking done with it.

I'll step out and have a fucking
drink.

Let's all go. No, no,
you fucking stay there.

CUP CLANGS
Oh!

Fucking clowns.

Steve, you got to take a
breath, right?

You got to stay cool, mate, yeah?
Look at me.

Look at me, though.
You gotta stay cool.

I understand you're pissed off.
I understand you're wound up.

You have to cool down. Hm.

So just make it clear

that you're taking accountability
for what you've done.

But also explain
that there's reasons,

and you've only got one side of
the story.

That's what I mean.

They only want to listen to one
side, though, that's their problem.

This is your opportunity to say.
I've said my say. They only want

to, like, listen to one person's
fucking problem.

What? Steve. Steve, you've got to
cool down, mate.

He thinks it's an attack. He thinks

that by giving him this feedback
that we're attacking his character.

But what he doesn't
realise is you've got two people

that really care about you,

that are trying
to make you see your wrongdoings.

You all right?
Steven, you have two drinks...

You OK? ..I made sure of it.

You need to, like,
down them right now.

How you feeling? Yeah. No, I'm good.

Take this how you wish.
No-one here is trying to attack you.

No-one.

I don't think Steven likes the home
truths.

I don't think he likes
when people are calling him out on

the shit that he's doing wrong.
But what we do just need

in those moments is for him
to just be like, "Yeah, I did.

"I made a mistake. I own it.

"And this is what I'm going
to do to make it up to Nelly."

Oh. Delivery. Oh. God.
Everyone looks a bit nervous.

You see their faces just woosh.

"Hello. We've provided a game
to help you open

"up and reveal to the group things

"that people might not know
about you yet,

"or might come as a surprise."
Oh, Lord.

"It's a game we've called
Secrets and Lies."

Ooh! "Each of you should take a turn

"to pull out a question from the
envelope,

"read it to the group,

"and then each
of you should answer it in turn.

"Have fun and be honest. Love, Mel,
Paul and Charlene."

Ah. Getting hot under the collar
now. Yeah.

Can't wait for this. Right. Ooh.

"Who's your secret crush amongst
all the couples?"

Oh, Jesus Christ. OK.
Just from conversation alone and,

you know, banter, which is
potentially what I'm lacking in

mine, I think Ash is genuinely
someone that I would

get on with really well on
the outside world.

You know what I'm saying?

OK, next. I'll say Grace

because she actually reminds me
of one of my exes, literally,

and she thinks a lot.
I'll fight you for her.

My stereotypical type is Joe,
like, light eyes, lighter features.

Physically is my type.
But Bailey's my guy.

Adore him.

Like, I'm not crushing on Joe,
by the way. Yes.

Next question. "Who is keeping

"a secret about their true feelings
towards their partner?"

It's a very difficult question,
but, for me, I'm gonna go.

Juicy Ruth.
Paul asked, like, a few times

in terms of,
"Oh, do you fancy your partner?

Do you fancy your partner?"

And you found it really difficult
to answer. Before you came here,

I've said to him multiple times

to his face,
he knows that he's not my type,

he's heard it a million times.

The boy doesn't need to hear it
five million more times.

Yeah. Fair. OK. Ta.
Listen, Julia-Ruth,

I do think you're probably,
like, struggling

with saying that you're,
just openly...

..that you don't fancy Divarni
and that you might not get there

and you might be feeling, like,
bad to say it almost.

I've said this to you guys,
you've all heard it.

Is Divarni my physical type?

The man has heard it more than he
needs to fucking hear it.

It's really rude now, after a while,
do you know what I mean?

It gets a bit dry and old.

That's fine. Your go.

Nelly and Steven.

Who of them? Yes.

I think Nelly likes him a lot more
than what Steven likes Nelly.

I think Steven's acting
like he likes you,

but I don't think he likes you

as much as he's saying that he likes
you.

If I'm brutally honest,
and I love you to death,

but I do feel Steven, yeah.

Hearing people say that they think
Steven likes me

less than I like him...

..it's obviously not nice to hear,
but I knew it anyway,

so I'm not going to deny it.

But I just need to talk to Steven
and just have it all out,

and then lay it all on the table

and say, "Listen, where do we go
from here?"

I don't think he's really trying.

He's not trying.
Of course he's not fucking trying.

He's actually not trying.
No, I know,

I agree, and that's why I feel
so bad

because I had
that in my last two relationships.

Don't get upset. Just say, "Here,

"you are treating me like a fucking
piece of shit.

"You are a fucking idiot."

Just be honest and open...

"Well, aye, you're being
a fucking... No, no.

If I thought I was getting mugged
off, I'd say, "Here, like

"you are... Because you're
probably stronger than me, Maeve.

The moment you see something,
you call it.

I don't do that.
But why? I-I'm not you!

I'm not you. I wish I had
that quality. No, I know...

..I know, but why? I can't actually
be arsed, I'm gonna,

I'm done with it. Nelly!
I'm not attacking you.

I'm just saying...
No, I'm done with it.

But, Nelly... Guys, I can't.
I'm gonna have a time out.

Like, I just need a time out.
Like, fuck this.

Fuck this.

Fuck it. Hey. Why is this happening?

I feel like she's losing herself.
100%. She is.

Hey. I can't be arsed any more.
Like, fuck this. Stop.

I didn't come here for this.

Compose ourselves. Come on.
Compose.

Sorry. Don't apologise to us.

Come on. Come on. You've got this.

Maybe if she does give Steven

an ultimatum, he might think twice
and think... She's scared to,

but, at the end of the day,
that's what you have to do.

Welcome back.

I'm crying because I'm so upset.

It's been a lot for Steven and I,
and I'm just...

..I think that's what it is.
I think it's all just coming out.

I'm clearly very open
with this group

and, as much as I'm trying to hold
back, I can't.

Guys, I just want to say I am really
sorry for walking off.

It was really overwhelming and
it's...

..it's just how I deal with
the situation.

He isn't doing enough and he does
need to do a lot more. I agree.

And you need to stop giving
so much of yourself.

I think, no, I think,
I think I am too forgiving.

I'm so concerned about pushing
that guy away.

I feel like, if I was you,
I'd almost just tell him

where you're at and just say
you've got to a point now where

he needs to show it,

or you're gone. Yeah, or you're
gone.

Because of my past relationships
and what's happened to me,

I worry that, if I was

to voice how I'm feeling to Steven,
I'm going to push him away.

And then he's going
to be like, "Nelly, you're too much.

"Like, see you later.
I can't give you that, goodbye."

And then, there I am, on my own
again.

Like, that's what it comes down to,
really.

Are we all ready for the next
question? Let's go.

Come on. Woo!

Nelly, spill the beans.

"Which couple do you secretly think
has the best sex?"

I'll start.

Bex and Bay. Yeah, easy.

I'll go Keye and Davide. ALL: Oh!

Yeah!

Can I say me?Oh.
BUZZES

Where's Divarni when that's
happening?

I lock him out the room.
He's like, "Please?!"

Well, I know you have great sex.
You have great sex.

You're not really having any at
the moment.

No. You have no sex.

It's all good. Hey, it's all good.

Getting called out for
the lack of intimacy in my marriage,

yeah, it's shit. I'm not gonna lie.
If they had the full perspective of

what was going on,
their opinions would be different.

Next question. "Which marriage
is the least likely to last?"

Oh, that's harsh, isn't it? Savage!
OK.

Potentially you and Julia-Ruth,

only because you've just expressed
struggle.

Yeah. I feel like,

at this point, you should be having

intimacy with your partners.

If you're not having intimacy
at this point or any romance,

you know, I feel
like there's questions to be asked.

Mine would be yourself and
Julia-Ruth, I'm sorry.

I think it would be,
out of everybody,

least likely to last long-term.

I'm going to say the same...

..just because of the differences
that I've noticed already.

Hearing everyone else's opinions,

this is really starting
to piss me off.

Really sorry, mate.

I'm gonna have to say...
All good ..you as well.

You're not really digging into it

and looking into what the problems
are.

The group think my marriage is
a joke.

I'm going to go

with Divarni and Julia-Ruth

because the clock is ticking.

We're halfway through this.
Yeah, I know.

And I think you need to get
that romantic side. Yeah.

No, for sure.

They think my wife doesn't want
to have sex with me -

I know why.

Are you physically attracted
to your husband?

I think he's an attractive man, yes.
No...

Are you physically attracted
to your husband?

Julia-Ruth is spinning a
narrative that is not exactly true.

What's the sex like, then?

Oh, shit. Oh.

They're not connecting.

Has the intimacy progressed?

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

But I know the truth.

Julia-Ruth knows the truth.

Are you getting enough affection
for you in that relationship? 100%.

Do you want to go to the next level,
though?

100%. You need to... Instigate.
..make her see that's what you want.

I agree. Yeah.
She needs to feel like...

You need to be more dominant.

It's more like that passion.
She wants to feel wanted.

I think she just needs to see
a different side of you.

The truth is, we've been having sex.

She lied to the group,

she lied to the experts,
and I'm done keeping that secret

when it's making me look like a
fool.

There's definitely a conversation
that needs to happen.

Honey, I'm home.

After their separate days
out,

the husbands and wives
are returning to the apartments...

Ah, you're so comfortable.

..but one bride is returning to
an unsettling surprise.

Hello?

Where's Joe?

I've come back to the apartment and
I've

found it empty, and I've got a
message on me phone from Joe

saying that he's really struggling

and he needs to have some time away
from the apartment.

After our argument last night,
in the back of my head today,

I have actually been really worried
because we haven't

really spoke about it and...

..I just want to sort it out,

so it's hard that he's not here.

I just want to reassure him
that I'm here for him.

PHONE RINGS

Hello? Hello.

You all right? Yeah, you?

Uh...

I've just come away,
just for the night.

But it's nothing about,
like, you know, last night.

I don't want you to, like,

think it's anything that you've done
or anything.

It's just what's going on at home
and then,

yeah, I'm just stressing out
about everything.

So I just needed just...
A lot's going on, innit? Yeah.

Thank you. Thanks for ringing,
appreciate it.

Yeah, I just wanted to make sure
that you're all right

because I've been worried
about you today.

All right, love. All right.

OK, darling. Well,
drop us a message later, OK?

All right, see you soon. All right.
Bye, darling. Bye. Bye-bye.

I understand his reasons,
of course I do,

but I want to be there for him.

I want to look after him,
like, this is what I'm here for.

I'm meant to be your other half.

I mean, I would like to think it's
not about our argument last night,

but I don't know.

I just hope when he comes back
we can sort things out

because, in my head,
I've been absolutely spiralling

and I really, really miss him.

Oh, God.

Hello. Hi.

Aye, aye, aye. How was your day?

It was all right. How was yours?

Um, the first part of it was good.

The second part of it went really
shit.

Why? Um...

Everybody doesn't believe
that our relationship's gonna grow,

prosper or even flourish. Mhm. Um...

..it just had me thinking about
the authenticity

of me being true to myself
in this whole experiment.

The reason why they made
that judgment is based

down to the information...

..that they don't know.

No-one knows where we really
are except for me and you.

We're the only two people

that really know what's going on
in this relationship.

Well, this was the problem.

We've been intimate,
you already know that.

And I asked you not
to say it on camera.

I didn't say that it camera, that's
the thing. You just said it on
camera.

But at the same time, I looked
like a complete fucking fool today,

100%. Taking all the blows.
You didn't...

So take the blows. No, no,
I'm your wife and I said

don't talk about it. No, no,
it's not about taking the blows.

So you'd rather make me look
like an idiot and lie,

and...? So you'd rather out me

in front of the camera... I didn't
out you... and not respect my wishes

to not bring it to camera?
I didn't bring it to fucking camera,

that's the point that you're
missing.

This came out of something else.

Go and ask everyone
that I went to the place with.

I didn't mention nothing.
They told me,

"Oh, yeah, your relationship's weak
because of intimacy X,

"Y and Z." But they don't
really know what's going on.

I know what's going on.
You know what's going on.

I shut my mouth, knowing that I was
going to look like a fool. So why

don't you say, "It's not because
of that, it's because of X, Y and
Z"?

I did. So you would rather allow
me looking like a dickhead...?

So worried about
your fucking ego... No...

..not about your wife... I've been
worrying about you this whole time,

that's the difference. And now
you've gone and aired

my shit out when I've asked
nicely... I didn't air...

..not to bring this shit
to camera, even for your own sake,

not to bring it to camera.
I didn't air this shit.

You want me to sit on the couch
and tell everyone the sex is shit?

I don't give a fuck
if you said if it was shit,

at least you're being true
to yourself.

I'm looking like a delusional
prick, saying, "Ah,

yeah, you know..." So, cop it
and come and speak to your wife.

I was coming to talk to you,
that's the difference.

But you're more than OK to spin
the narrative

and make it sound like...
It's not spinning the narrative.

You're saying, "Oh, yeah,
as your wife, as your wife."

Cool, I'm still your husband

and you're not understanding this
because I was put

in a hard position that I didn't
want to, but it's...

So your ego got knocked a bit.
It has nothing to do with ego.

It has nothing to do with ego.
It's about authenticity.

I know why I came here.

This experiment is about being true
to yourself and being open.

You could've told me how frustrated
you were and we could have

had this off camera. I didn't want
to talk about sex on camera.

You want everything
to be done your fucking way,

this whole relationship...
Team, together, decision together.

Every single time, it's always about
me adjusting to this relationship.

This shit, feeling like a fucking
mug... Because I don't want to talk
about sex.

No, I don't want to be talking

about sex, but be honest and say it
once. Let it go.

Sex is sex. So come home to your
wife and vent to me, don't...

Why the fuck do you think I was
coming home? ..like I'm your enemy.

Oh, my goodness.
Why not just say, "Babe,

"this was a hard day for me,

"we really need to talk
about this off camera"?

Let me ask you an honest
fucking question...

..when people ask you about have we
been intimate,

how do you say it? We say,
"No, we haven't been intimate."

I'm not ready. No. I don't want to
do it. You're not ready?

So, when we have,

because we have,
you've still been saying no.

Yeah. Lying to people's faces.
Is that your authentic self?

This experiment is about...
My sex life with you...

No. ..it doesn't have
to make me a fake person

Because I don't talk about my sex
life. No-one ain't saying that.

You are. We're looking like fucking
fools,

looking like mugs on our forehead

because of this fucking
communication. So come and talk to
me

about it. I've been talking to you.
You've been yelling at me about it.

I know the fuck why I came here.

Two main points. What is the point,
Divarni? You're so disrespectful.

You could have said to me, "Babe,
I had a shit day,

"please can we talk about the
intimacy thing?"

And that's what I was doing,
but you're not listening.

No respect for me at all.
It's crazy.

No respect for me. Sure.

Trust's broken.

Threw our whole relationship
out the window

when he decided to completely
disrespect my wishes.

I don't know where we go from here.

Next time... You will be
participating in Love Hate Week.

..a new task...

I'm excited about the love part,
but I'm not excited about the hate.

..brings some couples closer...
I love us.

I love that you're completely
authentically yourself,

it's the best thing about you.

..but forces tensions to the surface
for others.

You'll quite happily shift the blame
to me. I can't win with you.

This isn't me. I just don't
know... Grace is fucking hard work.

And while secrets and betrayal still
plague Julia-Ruth and Divarni...

I don't care whether people know
that we have sex or not -

you do.
I said we've had attraction issues.

If you're embarrassed of me,
why have sex?

..Joe and Maeve's reunion is less
than a happy one.

Can you really see us working on
the outside?

I'm feeling overwhelmed. But why?
That's how I feel!

What the fuck's going on?
