Original subtitles

NARRATOR: Previously...

Whoo!

..the weddings kicked off...

Where's my husband?

..with an almighty bang.

Get on one knee and propose to me first.

We'll see.

This is what I need from you.

Will you marry me? Yes, David.

At times, I feel the experts got their degree

from a cereal box.

NARRATOR: The experiment's biggest critic...

Let's be the 0.001% that works from this experiment.

..more than met his match with confident wife, Brook.

You can kiss me on the cheek.

But where's the inches?

I think Chris is a little bit of a diva.

If he doesn't want to show the effort,

I'm not going to be putting up with it.

Are you a stripper too?

Oh!

Oh, my god.

NARRATOR: Following their roller-coaster wedding day...

..a lack of chemistry saw Bec's insecurities surface.

Kind of makes me feel ugly.

NARRATOR: And...

(BLEEP)

..David was forced to take yet another knee.

Let we have a look what you've got. Sorry.

I've definitely seen a massive different side to Alissa.

When it comes down to it, she deeply cares.

We're in it together.

NARRATOR: Tonight...

Putting me down.

NARRATOR: It's the fight no one saw coming.

NARRATOR: The honeymoons heat up for Gia and Scott.

There's definitely sexual tension, for sure.

NARRATOR: But in Fiji...

Did you want a triple take on the girl

that you've been staring at all day again?

..has Bec just busted Danny looking at another woman?

I don't know who you think you are.

Do you think you're David Beckham?

NARRATOR: And the search for true love continues...

Being a recent empty-nester, the only piece that's missing,

someone to share my life with.

You look beautiful, Mum. Do I?

Yes. You got this. I'm proud of you.

..in one of the most magical wedding ever seen.

(GRAND MUSIC SWELLS)

Morning. Morning.

NARRATOR: It's a new day for our newlywed couples...

Give me kiss.

..away on their honeymoons.

Restaurant yesterday was gorgeous.

It was so cute.

Maybe I'll have to have my second wedding there.

Who are you getting married to next time?

If you play your cards right...

We've definitely gotten very close in the last few days.

It honestly feels like I've known him for ages.

I feel very comfortable with him.

He feels very comfortable with me.

You just watch yourself there, honey.

We're building that solid foundation.

So, far, so good.

We're definitely getting to know each other.

We definitely are.

NARRATOR: And in sunny Townsville, Gia and Scott are still feeling

perfectly paired in their match.

That is so nice.

The honeymoon's been great.

It's a gorgeous day. Nice and sunny.

It's like us just getting closer.

I haven't been intimate with a guy in over two years.

It's kind of hard to meet a guy who has the right intentions with me.

I... I can come across a certain way.

You know, I have fake boobs and tattoos and all of that.

And I think a lot of men will look at that and judge,

"Oh, she's going to be easy.

"You know, I'm going to sleep with her."

And it's... But it so couldn't be further from who I'm like.

It takes a lot for me to be with somebody sexually.

I need an emotional connection.

But this is a guy I could see myself being intimate with.

Not tonight, but one day.

There's definitely sexual tension. Yeah, for sure.

NARRATOR: As the tension builds for Gia and Scott,

in Fiji, Bec and Danny's intimacy has come to a standstill.

After being intimate...

Sensational all round, people.

Good shower, good sleep, good shag.

..Bec sensed something amiss with her husband...

I'm not really feeling it from you.

..and Danny confirmed her suspicions...

I think there's sexual attraction there,

but it's maybe just like the chemistry is not as much.

I don't know.

..which caused Bec's body insecurities to resurface.

It kind of makes me feel ugly.

We did have a really intimate night, which was great.

Sensational, as I recall me saying.

You know, but after having this conversation yesterday,

I feel like Danny is holding back.

It's just difficult because naturally,

especially when you're on your honeymoon,

you sort of hope and expect that after having sex,

you know, you will be like constantly and consistently

just like touching each other

and sneaking those moments together

and building on that relationship.

But I'm just not getting that.

Do you feel like...

..you're comfortable, you're happy, you're at peace?

I suppose it just sort of digs deep down into, like

some past insecurities that you have.

You know, some body issues that I have of being in a bikini.

And like, he might think that a bunch of other women

are better looking than me.

It's just hard. You know, Danny's not really showing me

the sexual attraction side of things.

So, at this point in time, I don't really feel like I'm desired...

..which then makes me have my guard up.

NARRATOR: In Mt Buller,

despite the groom's knee injury,

Alissa and David are still soaking u every moment together.

I've got one leg in.

If you had told me a year ago that I'd be standing here in the snow,

married to my African prince, I would have laughed at you.

Um, but here we are.

And I definitely feel like David and I are doing really well.

It's been a little bit of a rocky time, just, you know,

trying to make him comfortable and doing activities

that we both can do together and still enjoy each other's company.

We're making it work.

I think he knows that I really care.

And we're a team. We've got each other.

And no matter what, I wanted him to know that he's safe with me

and I've got his back.

I think David and I are definitely getting some feelings,

some strong feelings for each other.

We're heading in the right direction.

NARRATOR: In South Australia, at Rumi on Louth,

Mel and Luke are about to enjoy a pizza making course

at the resort's on-site luxury restaurant...

Hi, guys. I'm Sam, I'm a sous chef.

I'm going to be head chef today.

OK, great.

..with Luke hoping for another chanc to win over his princess bride.

This is right up my alley as well.

Something hands on, I love it.

Yeah, and you should know that pizza is my favourite food,

so I'm really excited.

I feel like the vibe between me and Mel at the moment

is, like, more of a friendly kind of vibe.

Alright, so when you stretch your dough,

just with two fingers, just go around the edge.

So, you're going to make a crust.

Since the wedding day,

I feel like she has had her guard up a little bit.

Is he coming? (LAUGHTER)

Sorry I'm late, everyone. Sorry I'm late.

How are you going? Hi. How are you going?

I'm Mel. Good. Luke.

Sorry I'm late.

Where were you?

I forgot the rings.

We didn't have a good start.

But I want to make it work

and I want to enjoy this whole experience with her.

I want to grow something out of this

because I do really like Mel.

So, what next?

Just toppings?

Whatever you like.

Alright.

I don't know how much she likes me, to be honest,

but I want to grow a little bit more affection

towards each other.

Do you like making pizza?

I love making pizza.

A little bit more natural conversation

and see if something could work.

Well, cheers to our first pizza together.

Cheers.

How's your pizza going?

It's yum. What about you?

Yeah, it's good, it's good.

Yeah, it's, it's...

I don't feel any chemistry, unfortunately.

Hmm. Yeah, so tasty.

Feels like a bit of a chore to try and get to know each other.

It's... We're not naturally blending.

The best pizza I've ever had in my life was in Bali.

Really?

The last couple of times I've been there

I actually did get Bali Belly

and it really rocked me for a couple of weeks.

That's why I use Mylanta.

'Cause it stops... I get reflux.

I have that sometimes as well,

but I feel like the bottle works really well for me.

You know, the liquid that you drink?

Yeah, that's Gaviscon. Yeah.

To be honest, I've never spoken about Mylanta, Gaviscon on a date,

let alone what I was envisioning to talk about on my honeymoon,

which is a shame

because I did build such a big fairy tale in my head

for this whole experience.

And I hate to say this, but I am feeling a bit negative.

Like I'm like, I can't see chemistry building

with someone that I'm having these awkward moments with.

Do you usually leave the crust?

No. Not usually.

That's fair.

Yeah.

NARRATOR: In Mudgee, Rachel and Steven

are enjoying life as a married couple.

(LAUGHS) What's wrong?

I love that I'm in heels

when you're the one that's gonna stack it.

(LAUGHTER)

Look at the wine.

Really having a good time with Rachel,

getting to know her.

She's playful.

I love that about her. It's great.

I'm gonna need a kebab after this. (LAUGHS)

Stop it. I almost spat in my wine.

It's not very refined of me. Oh, my god. (LAUGHS)

I feel like I can be myself around Rachel

and, you know, like, relaxed Steven.

Just... Yes, ma'am. Yes, yes, yes.

(LAUGHS) I'll have this Pinot Noir.

And I'm excited to get to know her better

and find out who she is.

So, I want to know...

Yeah?

What does Rachel do for fun?

What I do for fun. OK.

Yeah, I want to know...

What's a day out for Rachel?

A day out for me is like, look, my favourite day out,

days out are definitely going to the football. Like, I'm...

This is the Collingwood thing, isn't it?

It is the Collingwood... (LAUGHS)

You've got a tattoo on your arse cheek...

Right butt cheek. ..arse cheek or something.

Right here, babe. Yep. Um...

So, growing up, right,

so, my dad supported Collingwood, so we would always go

to Melbourne as a family and watch it.

And I love it.

Like, you know, there's something about

being part of a group of people

who are so all passionately cheering on a game

and like it's something that gets, as you can see,

it gets me really excited. I know! You're like...

(LAUGHS) Um, but like, you know?

We're just... Hang on, hang on. Right there.

Don't take this the wrong way.

It's not something I see in females that often,

especially football.

So, see how you're being all ladylike now?

Do you turn into, when your team stuffs up,

and I'll say it out loud.

Do you go...

"You (BLEEP) dickheads!

You (BLEEP)!

Bit the thing in!

OK. Is that...

Do you turn into that? No. OK, wow.

OK. (LAUGHS)

So, I just get really excited.

I think that's the best way to describe it.

I just need to know

because I know from a male's perspective, being an NRL guy...

Yeah.

..that when people get really passionate about sports,

they just turn into - all morals go bust, and I'm wondering,

you're gonna be like, all lady-like. Yeah, no.

"I'm a sophisticated lady. I'm lady-like."

And then like... But just turn and go...

(ANIMALISTIC RAMBLING)

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I think that's like - that's absolutely not a picture

of Rachel at all.

I don't want that to be painted in your mind,

because that's not... I feel like you're gonna be like...

I don't want you to put that on me,

because that's not what I'm like. (LAUGHS)

I'm sitting here telling you that's not what I'm like,

so please accept that's not what I'm like.

I'm telling you how I am,

and I don't want you to go painting me

in this like negative, huge light.

Why are you single?

One, I'm not putting myself out there.

I know that, but I also think it's like...

I know that I wear the label, "Too much", "Out there",

and the big one for me is, "Annoying."

And so when you're trying to, like, moderate yourself

so you're not annoying people that you meet...

Yeah. So, I guess that's what I think of when I'm alone.

I'm concerned you're creating this picture of me that I'm not.

It's a bit unfair.

I'm sorry you feel that way,

but also as well, it's just bantering.

I was having fun with you.

We're having wine,

and I was like, oh, I can see you out there and all that,

and you just got to be, you know, I was expecting you

to sort of be like, "I'm not like that.

"You've got to come with the game with me, Steve.

"You'll see what I'm like. I'm not like that."

And even if you were like that...

..I don't give a shit.

But I'm telling you, I'm not.

That's why I brought it up.

Because it's hurting my feelings.

I'm sure you can see right now that I'm hurt.

I'm feeling deflated. I know, I can see it.

I'm like falling down, making myself smaller.

I didn't think I'd get that reaction out of Rachel.

It's just a joke. I mean, there's no malice behind it.

I don't know, I thought we were having a good time

and it turned pear-shaped really quickly.

I really...

..didn't think I was coming in that strong.

The way I feel now is I feel horrible, but I'm a dork.

I'm out there. I'm wild.

I like to have a laugh. I like to joke.

But just even now, I've learned you sort of don't like

that sort of bantery flirty...

It's - for me, it's not banter and flirty though.

It just feels like you're putting me down.

That's what it feels like.

I've just gotta be honest.

Like, I know I have a big personality,

but I don't want it to be painted like I'm this horrible person

and like, it's not flirty for me.

I'm trying to...

You're trying to get to know me. I'm trying to tell you,

and you're trying to describe me as something else.

Sorry. I'm so sorry.

I get it, like it's a joke and all of that,

but, like, it wasn't jokes that were making me feel good about myself.

It was jokes being like, "You have bad behaviour",

and I'm not displaying that, I don't think.

I'm sorry.

It's just it's hurtful.

Sorry, guys.

Sorry.

NARRATOR: In Melbourne, two new singles

are about to enter the experiment

and they come with a wealth of life experience.

It's (BLEEP) terrifying.

Seriously, like when I go out,

I don't get anybody ever approach me.

Maybe I just don't give off that...

"Hey, I'm single. Come and talk to me."

But you know where is good is Bunnings.

So, Bunnings on a Saturday, that's great.

There's lots of men in Bunnings.

I did say to my girl, "We should start hanging around Bunnings

"on a Sunday."

I'm Rebecca, I'm 51,

and I'm a leasing manager for student accommodation.

I am a career woman and I'm really driven,

but life in my home can be a bit lonely at times.

I am a recent empty-nester.

My son, Austin, moved out about four, four or five months ago.

So, it's just me.

It's very quiet. Very, very quiet.

Some nights I wake up and go, "Oh!"

Like, but then realise that, no, he's not coming home anymore,

which is a bit sad sometimes, but...

Yeah, we've just got this strong bond.

He's my whole world.

Hey, Mum.

How are you going? Good.

Good. Do you want to have a seat?

Yeah.

I am a single mother.

His father and I, we broke up when Austin was two and a half.

I do have regret.

I always thought...

Now, I'm going to start crying.

OK. I always thought that I'd have that white picket fence.

Always.

I wanted that for my son.

And Austin had to grow up having two homes.

Yeah, I felt like a complete failure.

So, Austin, you know how I applied for Married at First Sight?

Yeah.

And then you asked me last week whether...

..or not it was happening?

Yeah.

And I lied and said, "No, it wasn't."

Yeah.

Well, they found me a match.

Really? It's happening.

Shut up!

Oh, that's... That's awesome!

What? What?

Now is the perfect time for someone to come into my life.

Should be used to that by now. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm quite shocked.

Ah, I'm so excited for you.

I just hope that, you know, whoever they match her with

is a good person, a good man, and respectful.

Yeah, he's lucked out, for sure.

Cheers, honey. I love you. Cheers, Mum. Love you.

Can I live without a man in my life?

Yes, I can, but I want to find that person

I actually don't want to live without by choice.

I want my silver fox.

Like I want someone that can come into my life

and we can build on what we both have.

We do it together. We do life together.

My partner, I'd love them to obviously have a family.

Definitely would love someone that's got their own children.

If they don't have children,

that's my deal-breaker.

I'm Steve, I'm 50 and I'm from Melbourne.

I have four beautiful girls.

Very lucky. Life without them just wouldn't be the same.

I'm very close to my daughters and they're everything to me.

When relationships fail and there's kids and young kids involved,

it's heartbreaking in many ways for me and obviously the kids.

Living alone after going through divorces

and not having the kids around as much

is not easy to get used to.

I would prefer to have someone to share life

with more regularly.

In the last 20 years, I entered hospitality.

I've owned pubs, restaurants, cafes

here and on the Gold Coast,

and now I'm a creative director, setting up venues

and giving them sort of life.

My whole life is about good times, good food,

good atmosphere.

That's living and I like to live every day.

Now is the time to find someone to share my life with.

I've turned 50 recently and I would like to spend

the next 20, 30 years with that partner

and creating memories,

and I'm still at that age where we get to go and enjoy life.

They have to be a foodie.

They've got to enjoy, drink, have a laugh,

not take themselves seriously.

Someone that is just themselves.

That's the most important thing.

(LAUGHTER)

I say to my girlfriends,

"I think there's someone, a knight on a white horse

"circling around and he just hasn't found me."

I just believe that I'm going to meet the most incredible person

who's going to come into my life

and I honestly believe that for myself.

Where are they?

Send one to me, please.

Look, I really think we've got a strong match here

with Rebecca and Steve.

At 51 years old, she's still searching

for her knight in shining armour.

Rebecca has this big personality,

and on top of that,

she has this great young spirit about her.

Rebecca has spent the last 20 years

dedicating her life to her son.

She's put love on hold to be a mother,

and now she's faced with that dilemma

that so many empty-nesters grapple with.

What next?

The great thing about Steve

is that he's got a similar lust for life as Rebecca.

I have high hopes for this match.

I think Steve is the silver fox Rebecca's looking for.

Let's lock it in, guys, shall we?

Rebecca and Steve.

(GRAND MUSIC SWELLS)

STEVE: Today's the day I'm getting married,

and it's, uh, it's surreal, to be honest.

The timing is just right. I'm 50.

I'm far from giving up on love.

I've got so much love to give.

I would like to find someone

that - sense of humour is very important.

Someone that's family orientated.

I hope today plays out that I meet the love of my life.

I mean, that's, that's the...

That's the dream.

Good morning. Hi!

Hello. Wow!

This morning, Dan's coming.

He's best man today.

And, uh, my sister's going to pop in.

See some familiar faces.

Uh, cheers. Cheers to your big day.

Guys... Yeah, I'm so happy that you're both here to share it

and obviously be here this morning with me

before I walk out the door. Wouldn't miss it.

I'm really hoping that Stevie's going to meet

a really funny, bubbly person.

Let the champagne flow!

Let's hope he looks as hot as you do

(LAUGHTER)

Witty and grounded, but at the same time really knows

how to have fun and explore life.

(LAUGHS)

OK, OK, that's enough now. Alright.

'Cause I've got to keep my shit together.

I laugh a lot.

(LAUGHS)

My laugh can be a little bit loud.

I hope he likes that.

Hope he's got good banter and he has a good sense of humour.

Yeah. Like, I feel like I want to get up now and clean up.

Maybe vacuum, maybe mop the floors.

It's very hard for me to sit and be relaxed,

especially when I'm about to walk down an aisle

and meet a complete stranger that's going to be my husband.

I guess the last probably ten years,

especially the last ten years, I've played it pretty safe.

So, for me now to do something completely outrageous,

like marry a stranger at 51...

I'm hoping that he's going to be amazing.

Like, I'm hoping that we'll have an instant connection.

Want to have at least a good 20 or 30 years with this person

if it's good.

Oh my...

Whoo-hoo! Oh, wow!

Look at you. Wow!

Rebecca. A vision.

Beautiful. Honestly,

he's going to be knocked out. Blown away.

Stunning. Absolutely stunning.

Oh, gorgeous, isn't it?

Hot.

Really nice. Gotta make sure nothing pops out

and we're good to go.

You look like you're strapped in.

(LAUGHTER)

NARRATOR: Joining Rebecca on her special day

is her friend, Toni, and her mum, Carol,

who has a letter from Rebecca's father

who sadly couldn't be here today due to poor health.

Just before you go, a few words.

OK.

OK.

"Dear Rebecca.

"It breaks my heart that I can't be there today

"to watch you walk down the aisle

"and hopefully meet your future partner."

It's alright, Mum.

Mum, Mum. It's good.

"But you'll always be my little girl, my princess.

"You have achieved so much.

"You are a strong, independent, kind, caring,

"and fun-loving daughter.

"Also, you can be very stubborn, just like your mother."

(LAUGHTER)

"Now it's time to follow your dreams and find happiness

"with someone to share your life with.

"Congratulations on being brave enough

"to embark on this journey.

"I'm proud of you and you will always have my love,

"support and advice, even if you don't always want it.

"Lots of love, Daddy Bear."

NARRATOR: Next...

You look beautiful, Mum. Do I?

Yes.

NARRATOR: The most magical wedding of the year.

I really hope that this is

that cheesy happy-ever-after that we all want.

NARRATOR: And then...

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

NARRATOR: The honeymoons take a dramatic turn...

You can (BLEEP) right off, man. (BLEEP)

..as accusations and harsh truths

see Bec and Danny in crisis.

I don't know who you think you are.

David Beckham, do you think you're David Beckham?

(MAGICAL MUSIC)

Here we are, guys.

Oh, my goodness. Look at that.

It's amazing.

Oh, wow!

Oh!

Oh, it looks beautiful!

Oh, it's gorgeous.

Oh, this is the bride's family all coming.

(OVERLAPPING GREETINGS)

It's exciting, isn't it?

(LAUGHTER)

I just hope that my son is meeting someone

with a sense of humour.

Someone that can...

..that can just laugh along.

Just a good soul.

It takes a lot of courage to meet someone...

Oh, in this, in this way. ..in this setting.

In this... So publicly.

Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.

And Stevie's had a few goes at it, choosing his own.

So, maybe this one will work. (LAUGHS)

Dad, that's the inside voice talking on the outside.

No, it's not. It's meant to stay on the inside.

No, that was harmless banter.

(LAUGHTER)

(KOOKABURRAS LAUGHING)

(GRAND MUSIC SWELLS)

I want the 50s and beyond to be the best time of my life.

And so, I'm now here to find someone to share that with.

Dating is definitely very difficult as you get older.

At times, loneliness can creep in.

I'm ready to fall in love with somebody.

With someone warm and kind.

Someone loves to have a laugh and not take themselves seriously.

Someone that's genuine and has love to give.

Oh!

Oh, he's tall. It's on, baby.

One half of the puzzle has arrived, hey?

(LAUGHTER)

Familiar faces. Nice.

Yeah. I'm good, I'm good.

OK.

I'm Steve, by the way. Nice to meet you all.

Nice to meet you, Steve. Hi.

Hey, Steve. Hello.

(LAUGHTER)

That was a friendly hello. I like that.

(LAUGHTER)

Rebecca is going to be really happy.

She said a few things about what she hoped he would look like,

and I believe the words were,

"Silver fox." "Silver fox."

Tick.

(LAUGHS)

I think it's on like Donkey Kong. (LAUGHS)

(GRAND MUSIC SWELLS)

I feel like now is the perfect time for someone to come into my life.

Being a recent empty-nester,

I've got an amazing family, great friends.

It's like I've worked extremely hard to have what I have.

The only piece that's missing is someone to share my life with.

Someone with a family would be lovely.

Oh, I can't.

Oh, OK.

(LAUGHS)

That's Rebecca.

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHTER)

How's the make-up? Looks good.

I can't believe I'm doing this. Could you?

Nah.

That's disgusting! (LAUGHS)

Alright? You got this. Yeah.

I'm proud of you. Thank you.

Alright? This is brave. OK?

You alright? Yeah.

You sure? OK? Yeah.

I'm getting really scared.

Don't be scared. There's no reason to be scared.

I'll see you on the other side.

No, you'll walking down there, right?

Yeah, I know. (LAUGHS) Alright.

Let's do it.

I want someone with a kind smile,

well presented,

lively,

fun, outgoing.

I really, really hope that this is going to be

the most amazing thing ever for me...

..and I get that cheesy happy-ever-after that we all want.

Hey. How are you? (LAUGHS) Hello.

Was that you I could hear laughing?

Can you hear me laughing? OK.

(LAUGHTER)

Now I'm like, I don't know what to do.

(LAUGHTER)

This is my beautiful son, Austin.

Austin, I'm Steve. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

Yeah, pleasure. Hi, Steve. I'm Rebecca.

Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Was it Rebecca?

Yes. Yeah. Nice to meet you, Rebecca.

How'd you go? You alright?

I'm OK. Yeah?

Much better now.

Don't mind a bit of facial hair. Silver fox.

Very happy, very happy.

But I'm not really up for a bit of a rash on the... Pash rash.

Maybe a bit a bit old for that. But we'll soon find out.

Yeah, OK.

(LAUGHS)

Well, let's get married! Let's do this!

Sorry, can I have a champagne or something?

(LAUGHTER)

She's beautiful, a beautiful woman.

I'm attracted to her.

She seems warm, beautiful energy.

Really happy at this point.

Whoo!

Finally, huh? We're here.

(LAUGHS)

OK. Deep breaths.

All good.

Here, hand. They're cold. Thank you. Thank you.

I'm right. Gonna be great.

Yeah. Let's just go with it.

Yeah, exactly. We've come this far.

Oh, this is really nice.

We're dancing already. Yeah, I know!

He seems very charming.

And they seem to click, the way they looked at each other,

talked to each other.

I think that human connections are such an important thing

and, yeah, I hope that Mum's found it now.

Good morning, everyone,

and welcome to the wedding of Rebecca and Steve.

Now, you've got each other's hands.

Take a breath and share your vows when you're ready.

OK. Um, firstly, I'd just like to say you look absolutely beautiful.

You do.

And I'm thrilled to be stood next to you.

I imagine you'd like to learn a little bit about the man

you'll be marrying today.

I'm a man that enjoys the finer things in life

and everything it has to offer.

Having worked in the hospitality industry for many years,

I love going out and discovering new places to eat and drink.

Oh! Perfect.

So, I hope you enjoy food,

great company, and a glass of wine or two.

Or three. Please!

(LAUGHTER)

Or we could just have the bottle.

Come on, let's go.

(LAUGHTER)

I stand here today because at 50, I'm young at heart.

I'm not ready to give up on love.

In fact, I'm more ready now than I've ever been.

I promise to be myself and to love you for who you are too.

I was raised by strong, independent women.

From them I learned the importance

of kindness and respect.

Now, as a dad to beautiful daughters, I've been inspired

to be the best version of myself.

Being a father has been a gift, and I promise to bring

that same love and devotion to our partnership.

Here's to creating lasting memories and sharing them

with you today.

I love that. I love that. That was beautiful.

That was beautiful.

He just seems genuine, authentic,

here for the right reasons.

I love that he's got daughters and he spoke

really lovely about them.

I just felt like safe automatically,

like I was in good hands.

Yeah, he was really lovely. Yeah.

That was beautiful.

So, just in case you're all wondering,

I'm actually - I couldn't be happier.

Like, I'm really, really happy. Oh, I like to hear that. Me too.

At the moment.

(LAUGHTER)

That might change in, like, an hour or two.

But right now, where I'm standing,

I'm really, really happy.

I'm just loving this, every minute of it. So...

Me too.

Rebecca. Your turn.

OK, this is going to be interesting.

And I usually wear glasses when I read

because otherwise I might skip a few words and we don't want that.

OK. Alright, here we go.

Now, bear with me. I want to try not to get too emotional.

Who would have thought you could just be more beautiful?

Look at that. Amazing. Oh, thanks.

See, now, I look intelligent too.

I know! (LAUGHTER)

Hello, future husband.

Hello.

I'm Rebecca. We stand before one another as strangers.

And yet this doesn't feel like the beginning

of something unfamiliar.

Feels like the next chapter in what's been a long,

ongoing search for someone who sees me.

(PENSIVE SOUNDTRACK)

You're good. You're doing well.

You all good? Yeah.

After dedicating the past 19 years to parenting

my beautiful son, Austin,

I feel like now is the perfect time

to start focusing on myself and the possibility

of finding a partner.

I've tried love before.

Sometimes I've led with fear.

Sometimes I've expected too little.

Sometimes I gave too much without asking enough in return.

But today, I'm here to do it differently.

No shit, Sherlock. Very differently.

(LAUGHTER)

So, please.

If you're expecting settled and slowing down, think again.

I've still got plenty of fire, a love for adventure,

and a weakness for bubbles.

Champagne, of course.

I promise to be completely open, vulnerable, and honest with you.

Sometimes too honest.

(LAUGHTER)

There is no grey with me.

It's black or white.

I bring the grey.

I love the grey.

(LAUGHTER)

I promise to listen when it's hard, laugh when it's awkward

and never run from the uncomfortable moments.

In return, all I ask for is respect, honesty and patience

and to please be gentle with me.

Let's support each other as we navigate

this wild ride together.

Well done, well done, well done.

(GRAND MUSIC)

You did well.

Thank you, thank you.

When someone's warm, they show emotion.

They wear it on their sleeve.

And that's something I think you can easily fall in love with.

That's, yeah, that's amazing.

There's a spark.

I feel like it's only, you know, going to be nice moving forward.

I think we're onto something good.

Alright, let's put a ring on it.

Rebecca.

I do.

(LAUGHTER)

I do too.

I'll pop it on?

It's on.

(LAUGHTER)

Oh!

(LAUGHTER)

It is my honour to now pronounce you husband and wife.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

You may now share your first married kiss.

(LAUGHTER)

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

(GRAND MUSIC)

That was nice.

That was nice. Yeah?

Don't you think? Yes.

For the very first time, meet the newlyweds,

Steve and Rebecca.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

(GRAND MUSIC)

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Oh, my god! Austin!

I am over the moon. Yeah?

That was good? (LAUGHS) Yeah.

The vows he had were perfect for Rebecca.

Perfect. It was like she'd written those vows.

That was amazing.

The experts have done a brilliant job,

a brilliant job.

Oh, that was great. That was brilliant. Yeah?

All the traits that you look for in somebody,

I feel Rebecca had.

It's beautiful. It's nice.

Come here, wife.

Wife, husband.

NARRATOR: Still on a high from their magical ceremony,

Rebecca is not holding back about showing how delighted she is

with her new husband, Steve.

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

Oh, that's a laugh we're going to get to know, isn't it?

(LAUGHTER)

Cheers, cheers, cheers, cheers. Cheers.

Yeah, happy married day. Happy marriage day.

(LAUGHS)

Cheers, Dan. I'm Rebecca.

Nice to meet you, Rebecca. I'm the bride.

I've noticed that. Yeah. I'm Steve's new wife.

(LAUGHS)

I love that laugh. (LAUGHS)

It's definitely unique.

(LAUGHS)

Rebecca, you would know her from her laugh.

(LAUGHS)

It's definitely something that stands out.

(LAUGHS)

I'm not sure if that's a normal, traditional laugh.

(LAUGHS)

Look, it's louder than I'm used to, that's for sure.

(LAUGHS)

It's definitely one that comes from the belly and...

(LAUGHS)

..look, it could stop traffic.

(LAUGHS)

(GLASS BREAKING) Oh!

It's a glass smashing.

Wasn't me! Just saying!

So, it made me jump a little bit.

I think it made us all jump though.

Whenever someone says it wasn't me, it means it normally is you.

It could have been.

But no, she's a beautiful heart and soul.

She's very warm. She's got a similar sense of humour,

which is just perfect.

And that laugh, you can take no other way

other than finding that warm as well.

We've done well, don't you think? Thank you.

Yeah, no, it's been... It's been amazing.

I think, you know, this is a big deal.

And I think we've both been pretty courageous doing it.

Yeah.

The best thing that could possibly happen

when you turn or when you're walking up,

is to turn and see a friendly face.

I think that's the best you can hope for.

Do you know what? That's what we said.

That's exactly what I got and I love that.

That's important.

Yeah. It couldn't be more impressed, actually.

So, you have a couple of kids?

I have four kids. Four daughters.

Oh, wow. Four girls.

OK. How old are your daughters?

My daughters are almost 18, 14, 12 and almost seven. Yeah.

Wow.

I love that he's got four daughters, I love that.

Wow. Fantastic.

I know, four girls. But it's good.

I always wanted a bigger family.

I wanted to marry someone that had children.

And I'm super close to all of them.

Like, my relationship is super strong.

And, yeah, we speak almost daily.

I love that, I love that.

He obviously has great relationships with his daughters.

How he speaks about them's really beautiful, genuine and authentic.

So, for me, that says a lot about Steve

and his character as a person.

I can't believe how happy I am right now.

Like, I actually...

..can't believe it.

G'day gentlemen. (LAUGHS)

G'day, mate. I'm good. How are you?

I'm just taking a seat. Yeah, do it, mate. Do it.

Very snappy. (LAUGHS) Yeah.

How often do you get in a suit, Austin?

Is this, like, an absolute rarity?

No, not as much as I would like.

Yeah? Um...

What do you mean? So, you want to get in a suit more?

I like... I like suiting up. Yes.

Oh, it suits you.

(LAUGHS)

By the sounds of it, I think she likes a laugh.

Oh, she has the most incredible laugh.

Yeah, yeah.

She'll tell a joke, she'll laugh at it herself,

and it won't even be funny.

But you'll just laugh because she's laughing.

(LAUGHS)

How are you feeling about all of it though?

Oh, it's been a ride. Yeah.

But definitely seeing your mum walk down the aisle

made it a whole lot easier.

No, she's fantastic. I think, yeah.

She loves like crazy.

She's got such a big heart.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, why am I shaking? "Hi. I'm Rebecca."

OK. (LAUGHS)

Thank you. I'm very well.

Um, as I say, I've got four daughters and three sisters, mate.

I grew up with women. Wow.

But just so you know, I'm a decent guy.

I'm... What you see is what you get. No, and I believe it.

I say it how it is. I'm kind, considerate.

Awesome. I'm so... I'm so excited for both of you.

Steve. He seems like a lovely guy.

He's charming. He's nice.

They seem to have clicked and had a great time together.

Um, and, you know, bounce off each other,

and there seems to be chemistry there, so I'm feeling quite hopeful.

Can I have a minute?

Yeah, yeah, that's why I said, "You want to have a chat?"

Happy? I like him.

I think this is going to be good. What do you think?

I spoke to him.

He seems like a really nice guy. Do you rate him?

I do rate him. I do rate him.

I love you. Thank you. You're welcome.

So, Austin was really happy for me.

His opinion really counts.

So, it means the world to me.

So, everyone's liked Team Steve.

Cheers. One kiss.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

NARRATOR: Coming up...

Did you want a triple take

on the girl that you've been staring at all day again?

NARRATOR: Has Danny got his eye on another woman?

(GRAND MUSIC)

NARRATOR: For our newlyweds,

the honeymoons are in full swing...

It's nice to get you out of heels so I can get a bit of, um...

Yeah, you can feel a bit masculine.

I can get a bit of manhood, my manhood back.

That's not my fault. That's yours.

(LAUGHTER)

..as the romantic destinations bring our couples closer together.

Is this like your perfect honeymoon?

Yeah. I'm hot. We're on the water.

We know that.

(LAUGHS)

NARRATOR: And overnight, our newest couple, Rebecca and Steve,

have arrived at their honeymoon destination in the Whitsundays.

I had the best night's sleep. Yeah?

It's 'cause you're so comfortable.

Yeah.

I'm giving you that comfy vibe.

Comfy? Yeah.

I'm just really happy, like I'm...

I can't honestly believe how happy I am.

(SIGHS)

Like, I have given up so much to be here,

but I think he's actually the perfect match for me,

which is so exciting.

Whoa! Here we go.

It's been a really good first day.

Weather's beautiful. Salt water. Stunning.

(LAUGHS)

Hang on. It's pretty rocky.

There was.

Whoa! (SPLASH)

(LAUGHS)

Oh, no!

There's my paddle.

(LAUGHS)

Being able to have someone that you're comfortable,

to be able to be goofy around.

Oh! That is. That's heaven there.

(LAUGHS)

NARRATOR: As our newlyweds find their sea legs,

Mel and Luke are tackling the big issues head on.

Is that ham or is that Kingfish?

Ham.

I think it's fish.

Really?

NARRATOR: In Fiji, after their earlier discussion

about a lack of chemistry...

I'll get your seat for you.

Come round here.

Thanks, darling.

..Bec and Danny hope a sunset dinner

will help ignite a romantic spark.

Beautiful evening.

Beautiful. Even better company.

That's right.

Say it again for the cheap seats in the back.

The vibes are a little bit awkward between us.

To be honest with you, I feel tired.

I feel a bit emotionally exhausted.

But I'm really putting my all into this.

I'm hoping that tonight can get the spirits back up.

But can I ask you a question?

Go on.

The question is, have you worn your leopard print shirt out before?

Hmm. Right, and did you have any luck

picking up women in your leopard print shirt?

I wasn't trying.

(LAUGHS)

That's why I'll wear it now.

Oh, to repel the women?

You wear your leopard print shirt to repel women?

To... To... Just to...

You know what I mean?

Oh, so you're doing it on purpose to repel me.

I just like the leopard print, to be fair.

It looks nice.

I like to dress a little bit...

To be fair, did you bring it with you?

I think it's in my bag.

I'll have to double check.

OK.

Did you want a triple take

on the girl that you've been staring at all day again? Or what?

Oh, what? Her? Are you joking?

I'm not joking.

Can't be... Can't be bothered.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

Are you serious? I'm serious.

100%.

No way. All day.

I've not even seen that girl.

Mm-hm.

OK.

I don't even know what to say to that.

Hmm.

NARRATOR: As the honeymoons continue,

in the Hunter Valley,

Brook and Chris have a special delivery.

From the experts.

Oh! Oh!

Enjoy.

We'll open the box. I'm scared!

Oh, oh, flip.

This is the way we flip.

NARRATOR: Chris entered the experiment

with a cynical outlook.

I've been pretty sceptical about this whole experiment.

And at times, I feel the experts got their degree

from a cereal box.

NARRATOR: But despite being denied a kiss...

You can celebrate with your first kiss!

(LAUGHS)

You can kiss me on the cheek.

Alright, I'll give you a kiss on the cheek.

Mate!

..as the day wore on...

Cheers to getting married.

..Chris made a surprising admission.

I, at the moment, as I currently stand, am happy with Brook

and the decision the experts have made.

NARRATOR: And now, on their honeymoon,

Brook and Chris have a chance to speak openly

about their connection with the honeymoon box.

"And did they deliver?"

I think they definitely delivered on more things than not.

Really?

Mmm.

I think you're a very beautiful and attractive person.

Thank you.

Not only do I find you physically attractive,

but it's the personality side of things.

I have to say, I'm happy.

Oh, that's so sweet.

So, I do have to suck it up a little bit,

'cause I've been telling the experts

that they have no idea what they're talking about.

It's so narrow minded of you.

We're having a lot of fun.

Still no kisses yet, but slowly, inch by inch,

we are getting closer.

The way this is going, with,

as in going slow and building a connection,

it's something that I wouldn't necessarily do.

Mmm.

So, I think... I think I actually do need it.

And I'm starting to realise that the more we go.

Mmm! That's so nice.

No comment.

Uh, I think a red flag to me in a partner

is someone that's unfaithful.

Hands down, the biggest red flag for me.

If you've been unfaithful in the past,

don't let the door hit you on the way out.

What about you?

My thing was, I hate someone who goes over the top with a fake tan.

Hmm. Did you even think I was fake tanned?

Yeah, I could see it.

Really? Hmm.

It's a minor issue.

It's very minor.

(BLEEP) you. (LAUGHS)

NARRATOR: As Chris' reluctant transformation continues,

in Fiji, Bec and Danny's honeymoon has hit yet another obstacle.

Did you want a triple take

on the girl that you've been staring at all day again or what?

What one? Her? Are you joking?

I'm not joking.

I don't even know what to say to that.

Hmm.

When did I supposedly look at her?

Oh...

Girl just ran past

has been in your eyeline all day.

You watched her run past our villa this morning.

You watched her at breakfast.

Triple take then.

Bec...

I'm not looking at other women.

That's just as simple as that. OK.

If I look at that palm tree four times,

does that mean that I'm looking at that palm tree?

Do you know what I mean?

It's just... It's just all day.

I don't know, maybe...

I don't even know the girl you're talking about,

so that's crazy.

Alright. OK.

I'm crazy.

No, I'm not calling you crazy.

I'm just saying, like...

You're almost making me scared to look anywhere.

Oh, (BLEEP) off. (BLEEP) off.

Oh!

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

Yeah.

What was all that about?

I do not have a clue.

I don't even know who she's talking about.

That's the crazy thing.

I can assure you right now, I'm not in Fiji on a honeymoon

looking at another woman.

I wouldn't do that to her.

Thanks very much.

The steak's just around here, please.

I think it's obviously because the chemistry thing.

Maybe a bit of frustration's built up in her,

and then she's made up a scenario in her head.

Thanks very much.

Then she's just starting to clutch at straws

to say I've been looking at a woman...

..which is completely false.

You alright?

Cheers.

Cheers.

Oh!

It's an awkward situation.

(LAUGHS) So awks now, innit?

Let's brighten the mood.

Have you ever seen 'Men in Black'?

Have you ever seen 'Men in Black'?

Yes, I've seen 'Men in Black'.

OK, so you know the thing on 'Men in Black'

where he's got, where he goes, "Doosh!"

Everything's forgotten. Everything's forgotten.

So, what we're gonna do is we're gonna pinky.

Then we're gonna both have a sip of our drink.

The sip symbolises the flash.

Yeah? After the sip, I don't even...

I've got dementia.

I don't know what we're talking about.

So, then we've both just got to move on

in a good mood.

OK. Deal?

Let's do it.

OK, I'm ready.

Pinky.

I'm just kidding.

Where was we?

Back to besties.

NARRATOR: Up next...

Oh, my god.

This is all we need, isn't it?

NARRATOR: It's one step forward, two steps back.

"Do you feel any sexual chemistry with me?"

Not too much, to be honest with you. No.

Would you like some vino, darling? I'd love some.

Husband, would you like some vino? Thank you.

A big one as well, please. A big vino?

Yeah. Alright.

NARRATOR: In Fiji, Bec and Danny have agreed

to wipe the slate clean

after Bec accused Danny of looking at another woman.

Could argue in worse spots, couldn't you?

Yeah, we could.

Oh, deary me.

NARRATOR: But for dessert,

the experts have something else in mind.

The honeymoon box.

Oh, my god.

This is all we need, isn't it?

Mm-hm.

"Dear Bec and Danny,

"we've put together some questions for you to ask one another.

"Honesty is key here.

"All the best. The experts."

Oh, my god.

Who's going first?

You are. You want me to go first?

Right.

Question one.

"Based on what you know about me so far,

"what is my most endearing and most annoying trait?"

Based on what... We're getting deep!

Based on what I know about you so far...

..thought the most endearing thing about you...

You are one of the kindest, most funny human beings

I've ever met.

Like, I feel lucky to be going through this with you,

no matter whether or not today's been terrible.

No, I'm being serious with you. No, it's just funny.

I'm being serious. Like you are.

Most annoying.

You OK?

Yeah, I just needed to crack my neck.

Getting deep. Oh!

Um, same answers back to you...

..would probably be...

The... Your best feature is probably...

I love the way how you talk about your family and friends.

Your whole face lights up

and I can see how much you love them.

Um, that was one of the things I asked for off the experts.

I said, I want - it's a big ick of mine

if someone talks bad about their family and friends...

Same. ..and all you do

is talk so great about them, which is amazing.

Um, probably your most annoying trait...

I'm gonna chuck it out there.

Easily, by a country mile,

is you make up that I look at imaginary women

because I haven't even seen one.

So, that was pretty annoying and frustrating, to be honest,

because I don't even know who you're referring to.

From the bottom of my heart.

OK.

I take it, I receive it.

I've got nothing more to say about it, I think.

Um...

Whose go is it now? Is it... Mine.

Is it your go?

Oh, (BLEEP) me.

"Do you feel any sexual chemistry with me?"

Not too much, to be honest with you. No.

Yeah.

Sure.

Cool.

No, but I don't know why,

and it actually does my head in, like...

Of course, I find you attractive,

but you could be so attracted to someone,

but the sexual chemistry might not be there so much.

But, um, we have got each other's backs,

and I'm not the type of guy to throw the towel in easy.

And I think we've obviously got a few hurdles to jump through.

Right? Would you agree?

Yeah.

But I'm saying to you, I don't want to stand

and I don't want to sit here and argue with you

and like it be all bitter and shit. I don't want that either.

It doesn't have to... It doesn't have to be like that.

I am giving this 100%.

And I'm not just going to run away easily.

Do you know what I mean?

I hope that we can get through this hurdle.

I hope we can.

Hmm, so do I.

I don't know if we're going to be able to at this point in time.

I don't know if we can.

I don't know how we're going to change this around.

I want us to though, like, that's what I want.

I want this to be magical, you know?

Hmm. So, do I.

I was hoping for magical.

I just get upset about it when I think about it, because it's not.

I don't want a best mate, you know?

Would you like some vino, darling? I'd love some.

Husband, would you like some vino? Thank you.

A big one as well, please. A big vino?

Yeah. Alright.

# I'm right within innovation.

I reckon I'll go a mid.

VOICEOVER:

People mistake iSelect for a health insurance company

when they're actually a comparison service.

(DING)

Plus, they have the most debonair-frontman-guy.

(BZZZ)

Well, that's just rude.

Ding debonair Ding.

That's not hard, Ding.

I want this to be magical.

I just get upset about it when I think about it,

because it's not.

I'm only joking about the other girlfriend.

It's not funny though. So, stop saying it.

I don't find it funny.

It's disrespectful. I'm respectful to you.

I don't make up lies about you.

Please don't do it no more.

OK.

Free question. Ask me anything you want.

Do you think you were ready for this experiment?

Yeah, 100%.

Yeah, I do. Do you think I was?

No.

Oh, yeah. Why?

Just by you constantly accusing me of that.

I don't know if you was 100% ready, to be honest.

You don't think I'm ready to be here...

..because I've brought up

that I've seen you looking at another female,

that you don't think I'm ready for this experiment?

Maybe not

because, like, you're making it up in your head

and you keep doubling down on it.

Like we just made up about it

and I tried to put your mind at ease.

For you to double down on it repeated times,

it just seems like, I don't know.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

You don't think I'm ready for this?

He can (BLEEP) right off, man

(BLEEP) off.

Who's not ready for this experiment?

"Do you feel a sexual attraction to me?" No.

Could you be any quicker?

Like...

Oh! (GAGS)

I don't know who you think you are.

David Beckham, do you think you're David Beckham?

He obviously thinks I'm absolutely hideous.

And then he's angry at me for calling him out

on looking at another woman all day,

and he's like, "That never happened. That never happened."

It did. It happened.

NARRATOR: Sunday night...

It isn't about someone's gender.

NARRATOR: A never before seen first for the experiment.

I don't know if I'm going to be matched

with a man or a woman.

NARRATOR: This bride takes the term 'leap of faith'

to a whole new level.

I'm bisexual,

and that would be a deal breaker,

because that's not going to change.

NARRATOR: And...

I grew up in Lithuania and moved to Australia nine years ago

all by myself.

NARRATOR: Having uprooted her life from the other side of the globe...

I'm craving connection.

..new bride, Stella, yearns for a deep love.

I do believe in soulmates.

I'm not accepting anything less.

NARRATOR: But what does this groom say...

Tell her in private.

That's like a red flag.

..that causes chaos?

You're irritated. Breathe, breathe. I'm relaxed. I'm breathing.

No, you're getting really worked up. I can feel it.

There's nothing I wouldn't do to protect her.

I've got my eyes on him.
