Original subtitles

Last night, we had an argument. Oh.

Previously... She just went at me.

..a marital tiff sparked a shock confession...

Do you love her? Probably not.

..pushing Joe to spend time apart from Maeve.

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

I understand his reasons, but, in my head, I'm absolutely spiralling.

I don't think he's really trying. And while Nelly and Steven...

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

You did BLEEP up. ..both came under fire...

Just say, "Here, you are treating me like a BLEEP piece of shit."

I-I'm not you!

CUP CLANGS STEVEN:Clowns.

..the group's damning verdict on Divarni's marriage...

Which marriage is the least likely to last?

- You and Julia-Ruth. - Yourself and Julia-Ruth.

Divarni and Julia-Ruth.

I know the truth, Julia-Ruth knows the truth.

We've been having sex and I'm done keeping that secret.

..set him on a collision course with his wife.

When people ask you about have we been intimate,

you've still been saying no. Yeah. Lying to people's faces -

because we have. I didn't

want to talk about sex on camera. You could be honest.

I looked like a complete fool today.

You want everything to be done your way.

No respect for me at all.

I don't know where we go from here.

Tonight...

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 BLEEP 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 BLEEP is going on?

Morning boxing club, yeah? - Ready?

Yeah, go.

Is that good? Good, yeah.

I wouldn't want that on my chops.

How was yesterday?

Your husband had fun. Mm-hm. Mm-hm. What did you do, actually?

Tequila, mostly. Ah, love that.

So, I'm gonna teach you Arabic dancing.

Step one is all about movement in the hips. OK.

Yesterday's day out was a lot.

I feel bad because,

like, obviously, me and John are so happy.

Yes, love it!

Both me and John are trying to just enjoy

what we have and have a great time.

Now add a bit of, like, arms.

My feelings are so strong towards Abby at the moment.

She is incredible.

She makes me a better person every single day.

That's really good.

You're a natural.

What do you reckon of your, um, day out? Mine went off.

Same. There was a question in one of our games,

which was, which couple do you think won't last?

Yeah. The bigger vote at my side was

Julia-Ruth and Divarni. Oh, was it?

I'm pretty pissed off at Julia-Ruth at the moment, to be honest.

After the spa day, Divarni called me to his apartment

to tell me that he's been sleeping with Julia-Ruth this whole time.

It's quite shocking and

I'm just fuming that she's been lying to everyone.

It's always been about him not doing enough.

But, behind closed doors, he is doing all that stuff.

He's making the effort. He really does like Julia-Ruth.

He does, yeah. And they have been intimate.

And so it's, like, you've just watched someone's character

get ripped apart, while you're a liar, basically.

It's just not sat right with me at all. I feel so sorry for Divarni.

Myself and Julia-Ruth have slept separately due to

a big argument that we had.

I haven't actually spoken to her yet.

We've been intimate and we did make the promise

of we're not going to bring it to camera.

But, at the same time, there's a narrative

that's been spun, making

me look some delusional guy and that's just disrespectful to me.

I feel embarrassed and betrayed by Divarni.

I asked him to not talk about intimacy on camera.

The trust barrier has just been thrown out the window completely.

I think this is something that should have just been about

the two of us figuring that out and then bringing it forward,

but everyone else has been dragged into it.

I just thought we were on the same page in terms of

not bringing it forward yet,

so I don't know why that trust was broken.

There's a conversation that needs to be had with Julia-Ruth.

I need her to own up to

what's actually transpired in the relationship,

and I just need to know

if we're progressing forward together or separately.

Things with me and Bec this morning are not in a good place.

Bec's decided to stay in a different apartment.

We had an argument about a question

that was asked on our separate days out.

Who's your secret crush amongst all the couples?

My stereotypical type is Joe. Like, light eyes,

lighter features. Physically is my type.

Bec has made it clear during this whole process

that, if I'm ever asked

to pick another girl in this experiment,

she said that would be disrespectful and the kind of man

she would want to be with would never do that,

so she went against everything we stood for in this experiment.

I think Bailey's upset because he feels like I've disrespected him.

I'm just going to cry the whole way through.

What the fuck? Um, yeah. I feel sad.

I'm upset at how he reacted because I didn't think that Bailey

had that side to him, so that...seeing that side upsets me.

I totally understand his feelings, and his feelings are valid,

and I'm heartbroken that I've made him feel

that way because I care so much about him. So I...

..I do feel awful about what I've done, but...

..I've got massively mixed emotions

because I've seen a side to him that I didn't like at all.

He was just so dismissive and so angry,

and he was just a completely different person,

and I didn't think that we would deal with conflict like this.

The big day out started really well in the spa and the jacuzzi,

having a laugh and joke with some of the newbies.

I wasn't expecting other people getting involved, telling me

that I should be doing this and I should be doing that,

which caused a little bit of divide.

It was a lot with the big day out.

Hearing people say they think Steven likes me less than I like him,

it's uncomfortable.

A relationship shouldn't be like that.

Yeah, I just wish Steven would show me a bit more affection.

I shouldn't have to ask my husband to hold my hand -

he should just do it or want to do it.

That's what I'm normally used to. That's what I like.

It's also what I want in a relationship.

If what we've got now is forever, that's not for me.

- How did your day out go? - We had a great time.

There's been ructions after these days out.

Oh, yeah. Everyone's, like, gone in.

And you and I... Grace and Ashley,

the golden couple, who seen that coming, right?

It's great up here, at the top.

Last night, I got a message from Joe saying

that he's staying away from the apartment.

I felt so alone and I've never, ever,

ever, ever wanted to feel that way,

and I've never made him feel that way.

It's sad. It's shit.

I know Joe's struggling,

I get that. He's got a lot going on at the minute.

Obviously he's had a death in the family,

but today he's not replied my messages,

he's not rang me, like, we've had no contact.

All I wanted was a message, just to say everything's fine.

Yes, I get that you need space,

but, like, don't leave me hanging.

I spoke to Maeve after the spa day. Her and Joe were staying separately.

I know.

I think... I just I know he's struggling.

I had a conversation with him at the spa and he opened up to me.

So what are the problems?

I think they just, they owe it to each other to just communicate it.

I think she just feels a bit like, "Where do I go from here?"

If he knows which way this is going, put her out of her misery.

Do you know which way it's going? Er...

Not really. It just is what it is, isn't it?

No, look... I feel like you know more than you're letting on. No.

Joe mentioned to me that he maybe doesn't love Maeve.

The last thing I'd want to do

is betray Joe's trust when he's first opened up, and go and tell,

because I know, if I was going to tell Grace,

she'd go straight to Maeve.

I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place.

Hopefully he just opens up to her now

and just tells her all his, what he's thinking.

I'm nervous about seeing Bailey this morning

because I haven't seen him yet.

I want to know if he's got any awareness

around how he deals with conflict.

I did think it was weird that you...

..you did end up leaving.

I decided to leave because of the way you were being.

I thought, "I'm not spending a night like that with someone."

I didn't shout, didn't swear.

I was just like, "No, I don't want to talk." So you didn't shout.

You didn't swear. You weren't confrontational.

You weren't aggressive. I'm not saying anything like that.

But you weren't who I knew you to be, like,

you were a completely different person.

You wouldn't let me come anywhere near you.

You wouldn't look at me in the eye. I was upset.

But I didn't want to be around that type of energy, like...

You're, like, flipping this whole thing on me.

You had zero respect for me, then.

The way you was acting is as if I'd slept with the guy.

You were being rude and nasty.

You flew off the handle and you were too far.

That is not for me.

We had an agreement that I would never pick

another girl in any discussion.

I said I wouldn't answer these questions

and then you did it to me.

I couldn't believe you'd done it, if I'm honest.

We had an agreement that I would never pick

another girl in any discussion.

I said I wouldn't answer these questions

and then you did it to me.

I couldn't believe you'd done it, if I'm honest.

You did something to upset me - agreed?

I did something to upset you, 100%.

I was upset, so you left because I was upset.

I left because I didn't want to be around that.

You also sat here and was like, "I'm done, I'm done,

"I'm done." Yeah, because I was annoyed.

Basically implying that you were done with me and our relationship.

You're just shouting at me, just going on. Because you're annoying me.

This is like slapping someone in the face

and then being like, "Why are you crying like that?"

If I was asked who I fancy and I picked any of the other girls,

how would your reaction be?

Would you sit there and like, would you let me touch you?

I wouldn't be as, like, dismissive and angry as you were.

You said to me you would never be with

a man that ever answered that question.

I know. So you wouldn't be with me, then?

It's not... So you would leave me?

So your reaction would have been much worse because you've said it.

You said, "If you ever pick anyone else, we'd be done."

I know, I appreciate all of that.

I was just baffled that you said it, that was it, and I was hurt.

I've felt so sad and upset today because I've hurt you.

Because you mean so much to me. I am sorry for doing it

because we've always had this protective

bubble around us of, like, having each other's backs.

And I feel like I have, like, like,

popped it, like, ruined what we've got.

I don't think it's popped, do you know what I mean? I do trust you.

I haven't changed how I feel or how I'll act.

You all right? Yeah?

It's really emotional, seeing Bec get upset.

You don't want to see anyone cry, let alone your partner.

She made me think, fucking hell.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

It makes me realise that I'm just happy

going through this with her.

I just wouldn't be able to do it with anyone else.

I've got such deep feelings for him

and I don't want a life without Bailey.

You moving back in? I'll move back in.

I'm having a meltdown. Oh. I'm having a fucking meltdown.

Come on in. My head's all over, of course it is.

I'm in limbo right now. I don't actually know what's going on,

so I need to talk to someone,

and Grace is very honest and she just says how it is,

and that's what I need right now.

Oh, gal. Me head is just all over.

Yesterday, he didn't come back,

so I've rang him. Right.

He said he needed to have some time away from the apartment. OK.

That was it. How much space do you need?

Do you know what I mean? I just feel like, I've just, like,

I'm just waiting here for something bad to happen.

He should be aware of how it's making you feel.

I just don't want to do this again. I know.

It's every time.

Every time you think you've met someone

and then they just fuck it up. Do you know what I mean?

I knew something bad was gonna happen.

I tell you, didn't I?

I knew. This is what I always feel like.

It's always the case.

And you don't deserve it.

I'm just tired, man.

I'm starting to wonder

if Joe is maybe panicking and trying to put the brakes on.

If that is the case, just tell her. She deserves the truth and honesty.

Dragging it out, if he has had a change of heart, is cruel.

Oh, Steven, it's the envelope of doom.

Oh, God.

A thriving marriage depends on couples accepting both

the things they cherish about each other...

Gold letter. Oh, no.

..and the aspects they find more challenging.

"Dear Abigail and John,

"this week you will be participating in Love/Hate Week."

Oh, wow. Love/Hate Week encourages newly-weds

to openly share their preferences and frustrations,

helping them build a solid base for their future together.

A realistic understanding of your partner,

encompassing both their strengths and weaknesses, is crucial

for fostering honesty and acceptance.

Ooh. List three things you dislike

about your husband or wife.

I can't think of anything I dislike about you.

Then list three things you love about your husband or wife.

It'll be an interesting one, won't it? Mm.

Can't wait to see what you dislike about me.

Only three things that we love about each other as well.

You must have a long list.

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

Love bits will be easy. Yeah, and the hate bits will be easy, too.

No, I'm joking. Yeah, I think it will be easy for you!

Well, here goes nothing. All right.

See you in a bit. See you in a minute.

I'm genuinely really intrigued to see what Leo puts for his hates.

I don't know if it will bring us closer together as a couple

because it's gonna depend what he says.

I'll see if I agree.

Probably not.

Good luck. Good luck.

The first half of Love/Hate Week... Let's do this.

..involves the couples spending time apart

to write a list of the aspects

of their marriage they find more challenging.

I am going to start. You give more to others than to us.

Yeah. I've always been

that person that's been there for other people -

same with you. You make sure

that everyone is OK and you check on everyone.

We just need everyone else to pull their fingers out

and sort their marriages out themselves.

I agree. Honestly, it's not that hard.

So...you don't believe in yourself.

What I see in front of me is an absolutely

amazing person and you're the best wife.

You're more that I can ever imagine and I just wish you could have

more confidence in yourself about all of that.

I appreciate that.

Throughout my life, I've had people put me down,

so I think that has, like, knocked my confidence, like, a lot.

So I do kind of like, doubt myself and doubt, am I good enough?

But it's definitely something

that I am working on and you are helping me get there.

Like, through the short time that I've known you already,

like, you have made me more confident within myself.

So, yeah, thank you for that. Yeah.

John is helping me believe in myself more and more,

and he makes me feel like I am good enough.

I'm just really excited because I'm just really happy

and I've never, ever felt that way before about someone.

So, April, the brutality of your honesty -

sometimes I wonder whether it's deserved.

I agree, I can be a bit too brutal sometimes.

If it helps, it's not just you. It is everybody.

You should be nice to your husband.

OK, I don't think this will be a shock.

You're not very inquisitive. No, I completely agree.

Sometimes, when we have conversations, I,

I draw a blank or there's nothing much going on in my head.

I fucking knew it.

It's just a monkey fucking clapping cymbals. Yeah!

I would say our biggest issue is communication at the minute,

because I genuinely feel like I've had way more

deeper conversations with half the people in this experiment

than I have with Leo. It's just very difficult to get

a free-flowing conversation out

of Leo and that's where I'm struggling, so it's not ideal.

It's not what you want from your partner.

Hey. How was that? Yeah, fine.

Off the back of the commitment ceremony,

I had a lot to think about,

and I was really emotional because it was a massive realisation

for me that I am still affected by my past,

and I've been holding back in this whole process.

So I've been more affectionate towards

Leah and I feel like it's brought us closer together as a couple.

I do think this task will be helpful for me and Leah,

because it's always good to work on that vulnerability.

So my one is you comment on how good-looking you think people are.

I know you're not trying to be muggy or anything like that,

but I think maybe it's just that tiny little bit too far sometimes.

Yeah, I am very complimentary with people.

Yeah, maybe I go too far with it.

I think, just to put your mind at rest,

I don't mean it in a way of, like, to ever disrespect you,

and I've never cheated,

and I never would cheat and I'd never disrespect you.

No, I know that now.

Obviously, I do want you to know that I do care about you a lot.

I care about you a lot.

OK.

I'm feeling nervous.

I don't actually have a clue what Reiss is going to say.

We've had a couple of different spats.

Is this going to create more drama between us?

Honestly, I don't know. I hope not.

You start unnecessary arguments.

Give me receipts. You made me breakfast.

I ate my breakfast

and then after, I said, "Sha, do you want a cup of tea?"

Your response was, "No." Walked in the shower and slammed the door.

I thought, "Oh, what's up with her?"

I was really hungry and I just kind of wanted you to,

like, just like, butter my toast.

So, to save the argument, I should have buttered your toast?

Yeah. OK.

I'll try and, like, think about things before just saying it.

That's something that maybe I need to take onboard.

All right, then, let me hear what you've got.

Oh, God. OK. I hate that you are not as spontaneous as me.

What? Your very strict bedtime, Reiss. Nah.

We've gone to bed different times every single night.

Yeah, I think I'm talking a little bit more, like...

Oh.

You know, like... Yeah.

Our sex life has very much been the same time every single night.

We don't need to just, like, wait till the bedroom to, like,

like - any time, any place.

We'll spice it up a bit. All right, yeah.

Yeah? I was a bit surprised because, to me,

we are getting on all right and that, but I'm not a machine.

She wants like three times, four times a day and stuff.

The machine can just go like any time, can't they?

Like Terminator. You can just go, like, switch of a button.

No, I ain't got that button.

This is just a bit of a, bit of a sticky one.

Why am I scared?

Me and Steven have really been at rock bottom

and I'm thinking, "Surely it can't get any worse than that?"

I truly think that it can only get better from here.

This is the best time to tell him

what I don't like and what he needs to change.

I just need to be honest.

I hate that you don't like me as much as I like you.

There is obviously truth in it.

You do like me more than what I like you.

It's not nice to hear

that he agrees and that I like him more than he likes me.

No-one wants to hear it. I need more affection.

I need to feel safe and secure,

it's what I want from a relationship.

It's justified what you're saying, absolutely,

but it's not like I don't like you.

The like's obviously still there,

it's just you're at a different stage of that liking than what I am.

I know that anyway.

It's just I'll always try and compliment you whenever I can.

I don't think I get it back as much as I give it to you.

You've been brought up to be more complimentary

of people, where I haven't.

We still like one another, you're just further ahead. Yeah.

I personally feel I'm on the right tracks with things

and where I want the relationship to be at.

I understand Nelly might have wanted me

to open up quicker,

but I think she's a great girl and she cares for me a lot.

Just, for now, she's still slightly ahead of me on the like front.

I hate that you have to ask for affection.

Do you not feel that, though, if I'm having to ask you,

it's because I'm not getting it enough?

My whole point is I want it to feel natural,

like, to the point where you're not asking.

This is all as a result of what's happened in the past to me,

which I know is not fair to you.

It gets harder the more and more you get hurt,

so that's why I am the way I am.

I need to understand that you've had your own experiences

and this is what you want going forward.

I'll definitely try and work on it.

Maybe I need to just loosen up a bit.

OK, so you're not romantic enough.

Probably used to be romantic.

Why aren't you any more? Just a bad dating issue, I suppose.

Every time you do something romantic, something bad happens.

First time I bought flowers for someone,

the first thing they thought was,

"He's only buying me this now because he's done something wrong,

"he's trying to hide something."

I would never think that. If you wanted,

if you'd like to buy me flowers once

a month, I would think that's really nice.

But I don't want you to think that it's a case of

I walk in and I have a bath ready

with rose petals or anything like that.

It's a lack of thought of, like, just spending time together.

I want you to want to spend time with me.

It's just little things like that, that's all.

Fair points. Yeah?

I want to be romantic with Nelly. I need to do more actions or,

like, say, a lot more than what I've actually done.

I've no doubt in my mind this is going to bring us closer together.

I think ironing out these points now,

we're going to be able just to draw

the line under it and move forward in a positive light.

Hearing your ones, I think you're so right

and I agree with them, and I actually am really

looking forward to putting it into practice.

I feel so much better after the chat with Steven,

just because he knows what's

in the way of us moving forward and progressing.

It's a fresh week. Embrace what's getting

thrown our way and then we can just crack on.

Let's just move past it.

At this moment, I haven't seen my wife since the argument that we had.

There's a lot of questions that I need answered.

I'm confused about all of this. I'm hoping to get advice from Bailey

and see what his perspective is on, uh, our relationship.

Hello, geezer. What are you saying? You all right?

Yeah? Cool? Good bro, you? Come in mate, yeah.

I have heard Julia-Ruth and Divarni have been sleeping together,

but it seems like maybe she hasn't been telling him

the things that she's telling everyone else.

How are you doing, bro? Are you all right?

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

A very intense conversation with Julia-Ruth.

Was it a lot? Yeah.

I do feel like I have to tell you a few things.

What have you been hearing, man?

She said, "I've told that boy ten times

"I don't fancy him. I've told him I don't fancy him."

She said to the girls that she doesn't think you're her type.

She says she don't think you'll ever be her type.

Hmm-hmm. Has she been saying that to you?

Nah, she hasn't and that's the thing. Fucking hell.

She's been saying something totally different

to everyone else and behind closed doors.

It's not fair. Like, you've been totally respectful

and, in my opinion, she hasn't towards you.

She's more concerned about the image... Yes.

..rather than your actual feelings.

It's very muggy in my eyes.

If I knew that,

I could have just put my hands up and just been like,

"Yo, why am I physically here?" Yeah. I don't know what to do.

His head must be totally scrambled and this is all coming from a girl

that he cares about and really likes.

It's out of order, isn't it?

That's the only word for it. It's bang out of order.

If I was in his situation

and it was my partner that had done that,

I personally couldn't see a way you could work through that.

I've got strong feelings for her,

but these strong feelings mean nothing

if they're not going to go anywhere, innit? Yeah.

It's not fair, mate.

I feel like she might actually be embarrassed.

That's probably why, like, she wanted me to,

like, not tell everybody about the intimacy part.

I don't want to do that,

but obviously I'm respecting my wife's wishes.

It does, like, raise questions. It's been very tough.

Caring for someone that may not care for you is...

..it's tragic. The next thing I need is just

an open conversation on how she truly feels.

If Julia-Ruth is here to waste my time, I'm not here for it.

You better go first, so I don't feel bad when I read mine out.

Are they bad, are they? No, they're not too bad.

I hate that you don't understand my humour

because I feel like you just don't, don't get it at all.

Sometimes I think you think your humour's funnier than it is.

But other people find it funny, just not you.

Yeah, you love that kind of, old-school,

my wife's such a drag,

that kind of humour, which obviously I'm not gonna like. Yeah.

It makes me feel like your cheap gag that makes everyone else laugh

is more important to you than upsetting me.

My humour is never personal,

it's just a funny thing to say in the moment.

There's a level of joke and then there's a bit of disrespect,

so I would love it if you could reflect on that as well,

because it's in front of other people.

So you're telling me I only do it when there's other people about?

I think, for the most part, it's for the benefit of other people.

So this is the issue - you think I'm doing it for other people

when really I'm just doing it... That's exactly what I'm saying. OK.

I don't do it for an audience.

And how do I react when you do it, if it's just us,

if you are doing it? Sometimes you take it as a joke

and then other times you just shut down and make it into a thing.

I've told you I don't like it. So, when I tell you you've done it,

I remind you, I don't really like that,

you transfer it back to me, you deflect it.

"You're the problem. You should laugh. You should do this."

How about you're accountable for the fact you've upset me

and that I don't like those particular type of jokes,

and that you continue to make them anyway, for the sake of other people?

It's just learning about each other, isn't it? Yeah, that's all it is.

I'm a little bit taken aback by Ash's response.

I do understand Ash's humour.

It's just part of his humour that I don't find funny,

that I've asked him to nip in the bud,

which he's struggling to do

because I don't like jokes that paint me in a bad light.

That's where we're butting heads -

his humour is at my expense a lot of the time.

Right? Ready for mine?

I hate that your initial reaction to a dispute

is to assume it's something I'm doing wrong.

OK.

But isn't that a little bit hypocritical

because it's normally something that you think that I've done wrong?

Yeah. I just mean, like, things like this morning, we've obviously had

a tiff last night, and this morning, when you summarised it,

the summary was Grace is being a dick.

Right? No reflection on your actions,

your behaviour, how it came to be.

We haven't even argued once this week yet.

Yeah. No.

No. Nah, not really.

Just a drunken dispute.

Grace was being a dick. We can't really...

Oh.

You kill me, Ash, you kill me.

I can't believe you've just turned around and said that,

because that was 100% said in a joke that you laughed at.

You're saying that I put it on you? It's always on me

and, to be honest, I'm doing... It's not always on you,

but, in this circumstance, we both contributed to a tiff.

The summary of it cannot be that I'm a dick,

when you said you were going to do this...

Oh, this is bullshit. OK.

I'm always the problem, Grace.

I'm always the one that's doing something wrong.

You're not always the problem.

But you understand, sorry, Ash, you understand that we have a task

now that I've been asked to say the things I don't like?

But the fact that nothing was mentioned

in that moment, when it happened and you laughed at it,

and now you've brought it to me in a task.

But is that not what you've asked me to do?

No, I've always asked you to be open and honest about it...

You've never asked me to be playful and laugh it off...

Yeah. ..when you make a joke? You've never asked me to do that?

Right, you took it as a joke. You took it as a joke,

and now you're putting it in as

though I've just called you a dick, and you've made it serious.

You've made me look like a...like a mug in a task.

OK, sorry. I don't agree with it at all

and it's kind of... I feel it's a bit muggy.

I do feel a bit pissed off.

She just tried to sideswipe me there with something

that was really innocent and fucking funny

in the moment, that she laughed at.

She turned it as though I was calling her a dick

and blaming everything on her,

and that. I've changed loads of myself to be with Grace,

so do I want to change this bit of me as well?

This, yeah, it was a task...

..so, sorry to have upset you.

Honestly, I didn't think he would react like that.

I thought he'd be like, "Yeah, that's a good example."

He's, again, not being accountable

for the words he says and how they make people feel.

It's frustrating.

She's looking for the perfect man and there's no way that exists.

So, if she can't come to terms with that,

then this isn't going to work.

Where are we going?

That would defeat the point in a surprise, but we're going this way.

For the next phase of Love/Hate Week,

the couples must reveal the things they like about one another.

I understand that I'm not good at leading. OK, no, you're not. Whoa, fuck me.

To do this, Keye has decided to take Davide to a

special surprise location.

Have you guessed where we are yet? No. A little inkling? No. No?

I have a surprise for D today.

He will be meeting and feeding otters, his favourite animal.

Davide does wonderful things for me

each and every day, and it is nice to give back. Oh, and

we're sharing our loves with each other today,

so it's going to be such a good day.

You ready? Yes.

Today, you are going to be meeting an otter.

Shut up. Shut up. Really?

I'm really excited. Otters are my favourite animal.

I can hear them. I can hear them. I can hear them.

Otters hold hands because they

don't like to drift away with their partners, they're really cute.

We hold hands like otters, so it makes sense.

How can you not love these animals, honestly? They're so cute!

Keye has outdone himself today. It is a dream come true, though, it is

something that I never thought I would be able to do.

This is for you, Bubba.

I love it. So, so special. Enjoy it. Thank you.

This is amazing.

Obviously, yesterday was the hate list.

Yeah. Today's the love day!

Something that I love about you is

actually the way that I don't have to change nothing about myself.

I can just be me. I don't have to hide

the flamboyant side or anything. You just make me feel that comfortable.

I love that you're completely authentically yourself,

so unapologetically, and it's the best thing about you, honestly.

Love you, honestly, loads.

Keye planned literally the perfect date.

I feel like, after Love/Hate Week, me and Keye are going

from strength to strength. There's no other way to put it,

I love this man. He makes me feel special and safe.

What else can I ask? Just love him.

Ready for all the love? This was definitely a lot easier

than writing the hate ones.

Yeah, me too.

Are you ready? I'm ready.

You're very tactile.

What does tactile mean?

I thought it meant, like,

if you were, like, super fast and sneaky.

Bloody hell.

Is that not what it means?

Tactile means touch. Oh. So you're a touchy person.

Yeah. I'm someone... Tactile, see? Tactile.

No, too tactile. Too tactile. Too tactile.

Yep. You always teach me new words.

What I love about you, April, is...

..yo booty.

I was, to be fair, I was a little bit worried that

you were gonna say something superficial...

..cos that is superficial. Ugh...

..I really didn't want a superficial answer.

It's definitely a fear that this is just his personality. There isn't

a lot of depth, do you know what I mean? That is the problem.

I need him to take the lead in conversations a bit more, you know?

We need a bit more depth. Like,

personality is bigger to me than physical attraction.

I need that. Bit of a wasted one, that, maybe.

Hello, baby girl. I've been waiting for this.

I'm excited. This one's an important one for me.

Probably the most important one, I guess.

Bum and boobs, it was really hard to decide.

Bailey!

I love them both equally. But, no, I'm joking!

Um... I love your humour and your energy.

Honestly, all we do is laugh. You're always cracking jokes,

I love that. I just want to spend my whole life laughing,

do you know what I mean?

So it's really important that I have someone that I can do that with,

and you are that person. Cool. That's really good.

I like that one. Perfect. Right.

Your massive... Yeah, massive what?

Sense of humour. OK. Sense of humour.

She's very happy in the humour department.

Yeah, we're happy in a lot of departments.

You never wake up in a different mood.

You wake up funny, laughing,

singing, like, you are a ball of energy

and I love that about you.

I never knew that I needed somebody

that had such a big personality, until I was with you

and I was like, actually, I would never want to let that go.

Doing all right then, ain't we?

Yeah. Done all right, girl.

Things with me and Bec are great.

The argument's done. We've put a pin in it.

To be fair, if anything, actually, Bec seems to be a bit closer to me

after that, and I feel exactly the same.

R and B are definitely back.

We're back on track, we're both super happy,

and Love/Hate Week has definitely helped with that.

I just received a text

from Divarni saying that he wants to have another talk.

I'm not quite sure what to make of it

because the last talk that we had

didn't really go well at all. It was quite heated

and it felt like two people were just screaming at a wall,

so it's been made really messy and muggy.

Hello.

Hello. We're at the point where conversations need to be had.

This shit is hurting me the most because it's like, being intimate,

I don't know as to why you don't want people to know that.

How are you feeling? Not particularly great.

The problem is the fact

this is making me look like I'm some delusional guy.

That's a slap in the fucking face, especially

because we know the truth.

And I don't care whether people know that we have sex or not - you do.

If you're embarrassed of me like, shit,

say it with your chest because...

I've said it before. I've said we've had attraction issues!

What's the attraction issues? I've answered it a million times,

it's the height.

So that means you've been leading me on emotionally for what?

I haven't been leading you on. You haven't? So why have sex?

Why have sex multiple times if you haven't? Because I wanted to see

if there was something there. It felt good. I feel safe with you.

So you're having sex with someone that you're not attracted to.

It's not that... That you have no emotional connection with.

How do you think that feels? There's lots of qualities and traits

that you have that I've never had before,

and that's why I focus so much on trying to get to know

you, and having fun with you, and building that connection.

Clearly, it hasn't worked out for me by just going off of looks solely.

If you can't answer to the experts,

who actually are here to improve our relationship,

one simple question about anything with intimacy...

I'm not saying that we never made

a pact to never talk about intimacy on camera.

We made a pact to talk about it when we were both ready.

This is a two-way street, so please do not play this game.

Just gets to the point where enough is enough,

to be fair. Yeah, I agree, fine.

I think Julia-Ruth is embarrassed to be with me because it's always,

"You're not attractive enough. You're not tall enough."

There's so many different things that keeps coming in my direction,

but now I have to really think about if there's going

to be any form of progression

or if we're just going to part ways.

Are you excited? I am excited.

Can you tell me what we're going to do now? No.

As Love/Hate Week draws to a close,

Leah and Leigh are completing the task

on a special date planned by Leah.

It's nice to just organise something that's

going to make her feel special.

Oh, look at you. Isn't it cute? It is really cute.

I feel like it's really important for me to be romantic

because I want her to see that I do care,

that she can trust me, and make sure she's aware

that I do pick up on all the things she likes.

For you. Red and white because it's like our wedding day.

Oh, I was hoping that you'd actually remember that.

Yeah, that's really sweet.

I can see all the effort you've put in

and this is actually really cute, and this is good vibes.

I'm excited to just spend some time

with Leah and have some fun together.

I feel like, in the little things that she does,

it shows me how she feels

and that is one big thing that grows my feelings for her.

What feels different for you this week with me?

I feel like you're more open now, aren't you?

Yeah. Good. I thought I'd been

so open in this process, but, realistically,

I hadn't been. I hadn't been being vulnerable.

And so, like, when I go to hold back, I'm like,

"No, don't do that."

And then I'm just going with it in the moment.

I can definitely vouch for you on that 100%.

I mean, ultimately, if you can

feel the difference from me, that is all I care about.

I definitely feel closer to Leigh.

She's getting a little bit deeper on her feels.

It's definitely a turning point.

If you don't love me at the end of this boat ride,

I've done something wrong

because I think this is like ten out of ten,

I love you, type of thing.

Do you love me, then? No.

Speaking of love... Yeah.

..I think we should share our loves about each other.

We done our hates yesterday.

So, my loves for you would be that

you make me feel safe.

Aw. Like, scenarios like this,

sometimes, initially, I'll think, "For fuck's sake, Leah,

"why have you done that?" But then when I'm in the moment,

I kind of feel better that you're there,

because you make me feel grounded and safe.

That's cute. Just hearing that, it's nice to hear

because I just didn't ever think you felt like that.

Yeah. What's yours?

Come on now, tell me what you love about me.

I love when you laugh. Right, God. You look like a little bit geeky,

like... Cheers, Leah. ..so it's like a cute thing.

It's cute. Ah, I love us.

I've always known that Leah's a really thoughtful person,

but I've really felt how much she cares about me today,

and to be at a place where I'm feeling the best

that I've felt this whole time with Leah,

it's just so reassuring and it just makes me feel calm and relaxed,

and that's what I've been searching for this whole time.

Painting! I'm feeling a little bit on edge.

I've arranged a fun date for Ash and I.

We haven't really spoken

since we had the hate aspect of the Love/Hate task,

so I'm not really sure how the date's going to go down.

What are we painting? Um, I don't know.

Do you want to paint each other? Can do.

I'm happy that Grace has arranged this date

because it's like her making an effort,

but I'm not really in a good place with Grace today.

We haven't really spoken. I didn't sleep well.

I've been kind of running over things.

She caught me off guard,

and she completely reworded what happened

and left out major bits

and just said that, like, I called you a dick.

It almost feels personal. Yeah, I can't help

but feel a little bit betrayed in this moment

and I don't really know how to move past it.

I just, I'm sick to death with feeling

like I've got to protect my character.

But you don't. I trust your character.

I don't want you to feel like that either.

I feel like I've done that since I've got here.

Sorry that you feel defensive. I just literally made a joke.

I said, "Oh, sorry. It was just Grace being a dick,"

and I smiled at you and you laughed back at me.

In that moment, if you'd have turn around and gone,

"Don't call me a dick," I'd have gone,

"Oh, fuck, yeah. Sorry, I'm wrong there."

Because that's the way we do things.

But why did you wait until the cameras

were on to then bring it in there and completely, like, reword it?

Have you not asked me to be more playful and to take it as a joke?

But you didn't take it as a joke, then, obviously. I can't win with you.

You want me to laugh it off and be playful.

You want me to call you out in the moment.

You've got to tell me, Ash.

I'm very willing, Ash,

and I'm very ready to take accountability,

to take the blame and to be responsible if something's my fault.

And I think what's happened here is

you are very ready to make it my fault.

You'll quite happily shift the blame to me and I will take it.

I always feel like I'm in a bad light.

You always feel like I'm attacking your character.

And you seem to be struggling with your role in that.

I don't, do you know what? I'm tired.

I'm just, I haven't slept... OK.

..and I don't even feel like arguing.

I just, I don't, I don't feel like... I'm sorry.

I just...sorry.

This isn't me. I just don't know...

Grace is fucking hard work.

I've proved myself to everybody else in the experiment.

I just, I...

Have I got to keep proving myself to Grace?

Because I don't think I can do it forever.

I feel like Love/Hate Week's amplified

how I do get mixed messages from Ash.

I can't get it right.

I'm always going to be the problem, no matter what I do.

I find it a bit frustrating.

He is keeping us in the same space we started.

For as long as he doesn't let things go

and move forward, we'll stay there.

Let's go, date night. Yes, date night.

Thank you for organising.

I have a plan for a date night with Nelly

and hopefully she can see

that I'm trying my hardest to be more romantic.

Come on, you.

Thank you.

Sometimes it's nice to wine and dine someone as well,

and just have some alone time.

Lovely.

Oh. I love a bit of sushi.

It feels really nice that Steven has decided to take me on a date.

So, after going through our hates, I thought I'd put in some practice -

one of your points of being a little bit more romantic.

Now we can tell each other how much we like each other,

instead of just thinking about hate, hate, hate.

Yeah, I know. Well, cheers, and thank you so much.

He has heard what I've said and put it into action,

and showing me a bit

more of his romantic side, so I just hope he keeps it up

and it's not just a one-time thing.

Since you've organised this lovely,

fancy dinner to go over what we love about each other,

I will let you do the honours, because I went first last time.

All right, one of the things that I love about you is

that you're actually a really caring person.

I haven't had anyone who's sort of cared for me in a way that you have.

Really? So it's still new to me to have this

and have someone put my thoughts

and feelings, sort of, ahead of theirs.

It's definitely a number one thing for me.

And I think, like,

I haven't done it enough and sort of, like,

putting you on that pedestal,

and I think it kind of needs to be reciprocated.

So that's what I like about you the most.

Why am I smi...? That, I didn't expect, that was so nice. Thank you.

So, one of the things I love about

you is actually how confident you are.

You don't really care about what people think.

It's really sexy, just the way that you don't care.

I think sometimes it gets me in trouble a little bit, though,

I think my confidence, so... But I kind of like it.

I'm glad you think that.

I also really love how funny you are

because you make me laugh constantly

and it's a really attractive quality.

I feel the fun element's gone

and we need to be more fun around one another

and, whenever someone's feeling down,

one of us needs to light up that room.

Yeah, because, honestly,

I think, once we sort out this communication thing,

I do actually think we'd be really, really good.

I think it has been a really beneficial day,

like, even talking about things we hate about one another is...

Yeah, I still enjoyed that. Yes. It's definitely been a blessing.

It's definitely helped us going forward.

Yeah.

Love/Hate Week has actually made me really hopeful

that Steven is determined and wanting to make it work.

It's kind of built me back up a little bit.

So, yeah, I actually feel loads better now.

Pretty nervous about seeing Maeve. I haven't seen her

for a couple of days, as I've taken a bit of a time-out.

My grandad passed away

and being in this bubble, I've just found it hard to process.

I want to explain what's been going on with me,

the reasons why I've been feeling the way I've been feeling.

I'm not a very argumentative person,

but she can go from nought to 100 pretty quickly.

I don't want her to go off on one and it all just end really badly,

so, yeah, I'm, I'm pretty nervous about how she's gonna react.

You all right?

I can't even look at him.

Like, you've been gone for two days. You've not spoke to us.

I've just been waiting here like an absolute idiot.

I look like a dick.

I just needed some time away, just to,

like, think about things. Hmm-hmm.

I've been really trying to, like,

think about our compatibility on the outside.

Is it just this bubble and as soon as,

like, in the outside world, would me and you really work?

Oh... If we're honest with each other,

can you really see us working on the outside?

I didn't think this was how this conversation

was going to go. I really didn't.

What do you mean? Like,

I have felt like I've been a little bit, like, mugged off.

How am I mugging you off? It's OK for you

to have two days off to get your head together,

but I've been in this fucking chaos, spiralling.

I can't help the way I'm feeling.

You needed time to make sure that you were OK

and I just felt alone. And, obviously,

the first time I see you is now,

so I didn't know what was going on. I'm feeling fucking overwhelmed.

But what...? Why? I don't get it.

That's how I feel!

And I'm trying not to raise my voice,

and I'm trying to not fucking be loud,

but I literally just need five minutes.

I'm getting emotional because what I personally deserve

is happiness and fucking honesty, and I'm not getting that right now.

He's saying that he loves us and he's saying that I'm a great person.

You can't just go from one thing to another.

I've been sitting in here for two days, thinking,

"Is he coming back? Is he not?

"Do I pack my bag?" Like, I'm actually drained.

You've had time to get out of this, I've not.

My head is up my arse right now.

Right, OK, well, we need to just leave it there.

I don't really know where this leaves me and Maeve.

It's still frustrating for me that we can't openly communicate.

Me and Maeve's marriage right now is very much up in the air

because we're not actually discussing the problems between us.

I can't believe that Joe left me again.

What the fuck's going on?

Next time...

Are you ready to take our intimacy to the next level?

..Leigh no sooner enjoys a breakthrough with her own wife...

Yes.

..before she's on a collision course with another...

She's a little snake.

I have fuck all to say to you, Julia-Ruth.

You're the one in the wrong.

..as Julia-Ruth faces a backlash from the entire group.

She's been slating you since day one,

and her opinion hasn't changed.

She's been saying it to all the girls, mate.

This relationship is fake.

I'm gonna leave. I'm not doing this.

I was here for a husband - I found one. I don't need fame.

She is making an absolute mockery of the experiment.
