NARRATOR: Previously...
Will you kiss me now?

I can kiss you,

but I'm not too sure if it's going
to make you feel something.

..Rachel's heart shattering
rejection.

Mwah.

You're looking so good?
Do you like it?

Damn!

Alessandra's Intimacy Week task

took some couples
to a whole new level.

Made me feel a bit emotional.

The intimacy of it was
a beautiful experience.

Were you bullied?

Has a stranger ever
changed your life?

What's your favourite
quality about your ex?

While Grayson...

I'm really confused about how
you feel about me.

..and Rebecca...

It's just not for me.

..were left wanting
more from their partners.

He doesn't want to try
just for lip service.

..as Steve declined to participate i
Rebecca's ultimate fantasy night.

That's where I'm at.

Tonight...

It was huge for us.

..Mel and Luke's
incredible transformation.

I feel closer with Mel
after the task,

because that physical gap between us
has kind of been

bridged a little bit.

We have been progressing
in the right direction.

I really want to send
a clear message to Steven.

Rachel draws her
line in the sand.

A tense boy's workshop.

I feel like you're
skirting around my questions.

I disagree with you.

Alessandra calls
out Steve's behaviour.

The lack of respect that
you're showing me is appalling.

Really tread lightly.

I don't take to this well.

And in a shock turn of events,

one bride calls it quits and makes a
dramatic exit.

NARRATOR: After an unfulfilling
ultimate fantasy

for one of our couples...

..the night has taken
a hurtful turn.

Just hours after Steve
refused to take part in

Rebecca's ultimate fantasy
night,

an argument erupted between the two

when Steve accused Rebecca of not
being in the experiment for love,

but instead for
ulterior motives.

He can - I don't give a (BLEEP).

I feel so let down by him.

And the reality is there's no,
like, for me,

there's actually no
coming back now.

I made it very clear to Steve
that I came

into this experiment for one agenda,

and that was to find love.

So when he started challenging
me, saying,

"Oh, so you didn't
have an ulterior motive?"

I'm not in my 20s.
I don't need to be an influencer.

I don't need free skincare,
a free dress.

I can buy my own shit.

I'm sitting here in (BLEEP) tears.

Like, I know I haven't
been that true, authentic self,

because I'm so scared of
rejection,

and now I'm here to say,
seeing him react tonight...

..and doing that to me -
I'm (BLEEP) done.

As a new day breaks,

a solo Steve is still reeling

after last night's altercation
with Rebecca.

What happened last night? Um...

We just had an argument.
We just had a falling out, again.

At this point in time,

I don't think I'm doing a lot wrong,
to be honest.

I was sort of calling
out a few things,

and Rebecca...mm...

Rebecca can be quite obnoxious.

And I said, just calm down.

And unfortunately,
that didn't go down well either.

And Rebecca has very high emotions
and very low emotions,

so they're getting
a bit tricky to deal with.

And, you know, it's becoming
a daily occurrence

and I'm probably a little bit
tired from it.

Each and every day it seems
Rebecca's struggling,

and now I'm
struggling with Rebecca.

Rebecca's just highly
emotional and loud and rude

and quite crude as well.

And the emotions from
Rebecca are so high and low.

It's worn me down.

It's just been a lot.

Rebecca's just a lot in general.

It's just...

Yeah, it's, uh, it's too much for me
at the moment.

Before this happened last night
I went into

intimacy week thinking
I'll try to work through it,

but I've definitely withdrawn
again.

So what do you do with
that going into this?

Yeah, it's an interesting
intimacy workshop today, mm.

For the rest of our couples,

Intimacy Week is in full swing
and already working wonders,

after Alessandra challenged
the brides

to create their ultimate fantasy
nights.

The Ultimate Fantasy Night

was designed to help our brides
feel empowered

and show their partner what it is
they desire in a relationship

in order to
form a stronger connection.

I will also hold a men's workshop.
OK.

So I can hear if the husbands rose
to the occasion

and this year I'll be setting them
a task of their own.

This morning, the couples are
still basking in the afterglow

of last night's fantasies.

I don't know what else
Alessandra wants from me.

I got my ultimate
fantasy,

home cooked meal,
and a smoking hot wife.

(LAUGHTER)

Before the grooms depart for their
turn at Alessandra's workshop.

How are you feeling today?
You got your workshop?

I know.

I don't know what
the guys will been doing

because they don't dress in
lingerie.

I felt good last night.
We had a laugh.

We had a giggle.

I must confess, I've never
given a girl a foot rub before.

Feel nice?

It felt different not being in
control

because I'm just not used to being
dominated.

Get in, get in.

But if she likes it,
I'm happy to compromise.

You know, happy wife,
happy life, they say.

Despite currently living
in separate apartments

after a rocky start to
their relationship,

for Mel and Luke,

Intimacy Week seems to have
brought about a turning point.

Hello.
How are you going?

Come in.
Thank you. How'd you sleep?

Good, how about you?
Really good.

The mood between Luke
and I is so much better.

Holey Moley was good.
Yeah.

This time last week,
when we were looking at each other,

being like, I can't even look
at you in the eyes.

It was unfortunate that I won.
Yeah.

And it was even
more unfortunate that

I was such a sore loser.

Now we're actually talking
to each other

like we're actual human beings that
like each other.

Getting ready for the boys?
Yeah.

Getting ready for boys day.
Nice fit.

Do you reckon?
Yeah.

Vibes between me
and Mel are positive.

Yeah.

It definitely feels a lot
more chill around Mel now.

Like, I feel like for the first
time that I'm getting Mel,

like, the proper Mel.

Oh, my god.

Obviously, we're still
finding our feet with everything,

but we're keeping it pretty light,
and it's been -

yeah, it's been nice.

I think we go back there.

Same.
Yeah.

Last night could have been
our cutest moment, to be fair.

It was the cutest
moment ever.

Last night was the best night
in the whole experiment for me.

You OK, babe?

It's actually quite relaxing.

I like it.
Yeah?

It was just so romantic
without being overtly sexual

and it just worked for us.

It was incredible.

It was so good.

I feel like a fantasy night,

you could have done
so much cliche shit.

I couldn't bring out
the whips and chains, babes.

Save that for later.

But what I'm saying is that
it was actually something

I've never done before.

I actually enjoyed it.
Absolutely.

And you didn't -

you took it seriously,
which I appreciate.

The experts actually said
that I needed to be more vulnerable.

And the task actually
allowed me to do that.

Like, I was going to write
like,

a joke word on her
or just take the piss.

But I didn't because I didn't
want to ruin her night.

Jokes might get out of jail
free card.

Yeah, it's a defence
mechanism at times.

But yesterday, you didn't...
you didn't joke around.

You took it seriously,
and I appreciate it very much.

No worries.

Every day was sort of seeing
different parts

of each other and progressing
a little bit more every day.

Uh, yeah, it was good.

Yeah, I enjoyed the night.

Me and Beck are
cruising along nicely.

We are intimate again.

So just, um, just relax
this morning, you know?

While Beck's fantasies were being
well and truly fulfilled last night

across the hall,

it was a different story for Rachel,

who this morning is waking up in a
separate apartment,

hurt and confused.

Last night, Steven
flat out rejected me.

(READS)

I can kiss you, Rachel.

I can kiss you.

But I'm not too sure if it's going
to make you feel something.

(MUSIC STING)

(BLEEP)

I don't (BLEEP) deserve this.

(SOBBING)

I left really upset.
I was absolutely devastated.

But this morning,
after reflecting on it

I'm kind of through
the sad part of it,

and I'm getting into
the anger of it,

because I am so confused.

At the commitment ceremony,
Steven led myself,

the experts and this
entire group to believe

that he felt something for me.

And that's why he put stay.

And now you're telling me that
he doesn't feel something?

It's confusing as (BLEEP).

So this morning,

I really want to send a clear
message to Steven.

I want to let him know how
much I have actually done

and how much I've tried.

That's why I will not be moving
back into the apartment.

I will be staying put,
but on top of that,

I will be taking all of my stuff.

Hey.
How are you?

Good. Happy birthday.

Yeah, um, OK.

Everything that I've added to
the apartment

to make it more comfortable and
liveable for us.

I'm going to take it away.

(RACHEL MUTTERS)

Rachel's feeling very hurt.

I'm guessing doesn't want
to see me at the moment.

She needs a bit of space, I believe.

And, yeah, it's not a good...
it's not a good sign.

But I feel like a piece of shit last
night,

when I read those lines,
my heart turned to ice.

Um...(SIGHS)

However, when it comes to intimacy,

this is something that
cannot be forced.

It wasn't right to go in for
the kiss and be fake about it.

But now she's so angry
it's like

(BLEEP) slamming shit down
and running around.

What can I do?

Let me help you pack.

Like I can't say that - she's angry.

So maybe the best time is
just to give her a bit of space.

Because I feel like the energy,
the body language,

the way she's packing up.

This is not good.

Hey, Rachel.
Yeah?

Do you want me to step
out for a bit,

so you've got a bit of time
to do what you need to do?

Yeah, sure.
Would you like that?

If you like. It's up to you.
I don't mind.

Would you like
to step out for a bit?

Just to give you time
and give you space.

So I'm not just sitting
there watching you.

Whatever makes you
more comfortable, Steven,

if you would like to leave,
you can do that.

I'm just here.

Whatever makes you
comfortable right now.

Angry.

I'll give you...
I'll give you five minutes

so you can have your space,
so I'm not watching you,

and over top of you.

No worries.
Alright.

Steven, yeah,
he feels sorry for himself

as far as I'm concerned.

Like this is all you, babe.

This is no dunny
paper down there.

Stock up.

Who knows how long I'll be down
there?

Jesus Christ.

Everything that I've done
to make this a home...

Taking this.
Definitely taking this.

..I'm going to take that away.

You are responsible for this.

I think it's going to sink
in for Steven

when he comes home and goes,
holy shit.

Like she actually made this
apartment a home for us.

I'm choosing me today.

Oh, geez,
I can't drive this thing.

Yeah, I am happy about that choice.

NARRATOR: Alessandra's Ultimate
fantasy task is designed to

help our couples open up
to each other,

in order to strengthen their
relationships.

But after what appeared
to be a positive night

for Brook and Chris...

BROOK: Show me yours.

What the hell? Are you...?

That's so good.

Brook revealed in an off
camera chat

that she was in fact wanting space
from Chris.

Obviously, we did have a little bit
of a chat last night, um,

about where I'm at.
Mm.

I have to be a little bit selfish,
you know,

take a step back.

You know the person I want
you to be,

and I can't be holding your hand.
Yeah.

You know, with the slip ups
and things, it's just...

it's a lot to deal with.
Yeah.

Obviously I've had I've had slip ups

and moments through this
experiment.

Like my audition video.

OFF CAMERA: What turns you off?

Fake tan, needy, and fat people.

BROOK: I'm (BLEEP) appalled.

After seeing my video,

and she's sort of took a step back
and gone,

"Maybe we're both not
in the right place."

I think you've got a lot
of work to do on yourself.

I've got a lot of work
to do on myself, um...

It's not like you're not...
you don't not have feelings for me.

It's just you know that it's, um...

Mm.

But for me right now it's...

I just, yeah, I don't know,
I just feel like,

I'm not feeling it right now.
Yeah.

Yeah.

Like we're here and we're here
for each other

and we're sharing a lot of mental
and emotional...

I don't know,
feelings for each other.

The bond that I share
with Brook is powerful.

But as you said, we don't know
what's going to happen

going forward.

Yeah.

What do you think?

Yeah, you look nice.

Mwah.
Alright, I'll see you soon.

Bye, have fun.

The grooms are off to
Alessandra's intimacy workshop...

I'm sad I won't be there.
You look great.

I'd love to be
a fly on the wall.

..where they'll have
the opportunity to open up

about their relationships.

Look at you.

Find out all the details?
I will.

(EPIC MUSIC)

Hello, welcome.
Hello. How are you?

After my intimacy workshop
with the women,

I asked them to create their
ultimate fantasy night

and share that with their husbands.

Welcome.
How are you?

Bienvenidos, Caballeros!
Have a seat.

Thank you.
Hello.

I designed this exercise to help
empower the women of the experiment.

And it was my hope that
their husbands would be enthusiastic

about fulfilling
their partner's desires.

How's everybody doing?

All the better for
seeing you and being here.

That's very good.

Um, as you all well know,
Intimacy Week is well underway, huh?

Oh, yeah. Big time, big time.
Big time.

I'm sure some of you
have reaped the benefits

of the Women's Workshop yesterday.

I had a good time.
You had a good time.

Alissa's ultimate fantasy
was my ultimate fantasy.

Ooh.
I'm just gonna be straight up.

Love it.

It was awesome.

Like, she was getting to
know me,

and we really, really get along.

It's exciting stuff.

But I am very curious to
see how everybody went.

So who's gonna start it off?

Tell me a good experience.

I had a good experience.
You had a good experience, Danny.

Me and Bec done, like,

a blindfolded painting session,
so to speak.

It was actually pretty fun.

Took turns, and so we
painted words on each other.

Like what represent
our relationship?

Afterwards, I felt emotional.

I felt like I wanted to cry.

I don't even know why.

I just felt like we got closer.

There's a little cracking of
the hard shell going on there.

Mm.

Hearing what Danny had to say today,
you know, it was just great.

I think by leaning into
the unknown,

leaning into the uncomfortable and
taking the task seriously,

Danny actually is trying,
and it seems to be working for him.

I did want to, like,
crack a joke or whatever,

but I pulled myself back in
and I was like,

"Keep it serious, because this is
her night and it's her fantasy,"

and I didn't want to ruin it.

I think those are pretty
big, solid steps

in the right direction from you.
Thank you.

It makes me
personally feel very proud.

Thanks very much.

Love.

Very good, very good. Thank you.

Thanks.
Luke.

Yes.

You're smiling today,
which makes me so happy.

Yeah, I'm starting
to feel myself again.

How has it been since the
commitment ceremony?

Really good.
Yesterday we went on a date.

It was nice, we were like,
having a bit of banter,

a few jokes.

And yeah, I feel like we've been
looking at

each other a lot more
than we ever have.

So that looking at each other,

was it flirty or how would you
describe?

Not like massively flirty yet.
I like the yet.

Yeah the yet the yet
gives me a lot of hope.

Mr Grayson, tell us about
Julia's ultimate fantasy night

and how that played
out for you guys.

Yeah.

Obviously you're not
happy with what I've...

Absolutely not.
OK, well, this is a problem.

Jules, I feel at this point
that I'm wasting my time.

Oh.
Absolutely.

Wasting my time.
Yeah.

Intimacy to me is like,
you know, chemistry,

romance, sexual stuff.

Jules definition of getting intimate
is

understanding someone on a on a
deeper level.

So she come up with a series
of questions

that she felt would
strengthen that or...

Well, what kind of
questions were they?

Sexy questions?
Were there enticing questions?

Nah.

At school were you bullied?

I...

Unfortunately, there was
zero sexiness or sauciness.

OK.

Look, the questions that
I was dealing with are,

you know, things like what
is my fondest memory on

the football field? You know?

Just like life questions?
Yeah, yeah.

Whoa, whoa, I was really
expecting something different.

Yeah, I'm just -
I mean, ultimate fantasy.

Like, that's the definition
of the task.

And to be asking me what

my favourite traits were in my
ex-partner,

and what I've learned in my
personal development,

like that, come on.

Honestly, at this point,
I feel like I'm wasting my time.

I feel, um, powerless over my
position in this relationship.

Like, I don't have any
form of say anymore.

And I don't know whether that's
me being weak as a man,

letting her dictate that from the
start.

And I'm quite disappointed
in myself for that,

because I feel like I've
allowed the relationship

to get to this point.

Yeah, I feel like I've
just been shoved away.

If she weren't
shoving you away

would you still want
to get close to her?

Absolutely.
I find her really attractive.

Yeah.
Yeah, I'm fully committed.

I want this to work.

I've been super into Jules,
and it'll feel really nice

if Jules is willing to reciprocate,
you know,

because at the moment, I really
don't know where I stand with her.

Yeah, I just need brutal
honesty from Julia.

Yeah.

Steven.

(SIGHS) Excuse me.

My heart's, like,
going a million miles an hour.

OK.

Um...

How was Rachel's
ultimate fantasy night?

Yeah, because it obviously
didn't go too well.

I walked into the room
and Rachel was standing there

with a blindfold on and holding
sort of like an A3,

and it just said some words on
there.

And the questions started
off quite light, you know.

What do you like about
me and stuff like that?

But the next card said,

Could you give me a kiss that feels
like something.

Felt like at that time I had
three decisions to make.

Either give her a kiss and she
feels like it's empty.

Give her a kiss. Get through it.

In other words, fake it and give
Rachel the wrong impressions.

And she comes out of this
going,

"Oh,
I felt a romantic connection there."

And the third decision was

that I'd tell her how I feel right
there and then.

And unfortunately,
I did take the hardest option

and said to her,
"I can give you a kiss,

but I don't know if there's going to
be any passion behind it."

How did she take it?
Not good.

It was hard to watch.

Men used to die in
trenches and fight wars.

And now he's too scared to even
just give his missus a kiss.

Like, just give her a kiss,
for (BLEEP) sake.

It's not really
that hard, is it?

And see where it
goes from there.

I reckon Steven's in the wrong.

Like he's not even
giving it a shot.

So why did you say stay?
Why did you say that?

Well, I chose to stay
because I didn't want to quit

just because I'm not there yet.

OK. Do you think you're
ever going to get there?

Well, I feel like I've screwed up
pretty bad now.

That's not my question.

I was hoping -
I was hopeful, yeah.

I don't know,
I think maybe hopeful

would have been a little bit of
leaning into

that particular situation.

Something like a kiss.

It's not the biggest thing,
but it can be something to clarify,

especially when there's
been a lot of confusion.

I feel like I'm in
a similar boat as Rachel.

You know, it takes a lot of
emotional energy,

as you're all aware,
to be here,

and for the other person not to be
reciprocating

in effort and openness,
it sucks, man.

Like it sucks, you know? Um...

You know? So, I'm, uh...

You gotta dive in, man, like...

Rachel's craving
connection and intimacy.

And Stevens is, like,
tippy toeing pussyfooting around it.

That's what I see.

And, you know, I feel like I'm
getting at the same from Jules.

And that's sort of how I'm starting
to get to that point of like,

you're just stringing me along.

Chris.

I see you far, far away.

What's going on?
Um. It's so funny.

I've never had such
an experience with someone

where we get along in so many
different ways,

and we're honestly sharing, like,
a lot of intimacy

in where we were just cuddling
and able

to bathe in each other's company.

But at the same time,
I've got this roadblock.

Do you think she's still
struggling with the audition video

and her perception of that?

It's definitely in mind.

We've had a conversation
multiple times about how

she wanted to come in here
and have someone that was settled,

and she didn't
need to hold their hand

and guide them through like,
situations like that video.

Obviously I'm a little bit upset
because I want someone,

I want to give the same emotion
and get it back.

Um, but in my mind, like,

logic goes out the window when I
deal with my emotions.

Like I just go all in.

So I would literally stay
here till the end of the experiment,

even if I was upset,
just to keep trying.

There's always going to be something
or a situation

that you might not like.

It doesn't mean that you
give up necessarily,

but it's also not about
just staying there forever,

taking her rejection of you.

So you have to find that balance
where that line is for you.

I don't know,

I feel like this is a very unique
situation that I'm in.

Obviously, I'm just going to
keep doing what I'm doing.

I just want to try and show
Brook and hopefully change her mind

day by day that, you know,
that we're good together.

And obviously I want
to make things work.

Coming up...
(SCOFFS)

..Steve's behaviour...

Honestly, the lack of respect that
you're showing me...

OK.
..is appalling.

..sends shockwaves
through the experiment.

He's the oldest man
in the room as well.

And he's acting like a child.

And later, Alessandra's task
brings Mel and Luke closer.

And one of the brides
has packed her bags

and left the apartments.

# #

OK, so, Steve...
Yes.

..how was Rebecca's ultimate
fantasy night for the two of you?

Rebecca's ultimate fantasy.

Um, Rebecca did visit a sex shop
and bought a couple of outfits.

Ooh.

Eventually didn't put them on.
OK.

Out of respect for me.

She chose to not dress up
and make me uncomfortable.

For me,
that sounds like bullshit.

I had nothing but respect,

because Rebecca didn't come in
dressed up already.

Because I would have
found that uncomfortable.

So it actually bonded us.

You've actually bonded them.

(INHALES)
I don't know, to me, it's just...

It just doesn't make sense.

Gia was with Rebecca and hearing
Rebecca's perspective,

she's so into him,
she went to a sex shop last night.

She wanted to get her
ultimate fantasy done, and...

She brought us
closer by not doing that.

I think Steve's a bit full of shit.

That's what I'm confused because
Gia was with her last night

at the sex shop,
and she was like saying,

"I can't wait to dress up,
do all these naughty things."

But then apparently she gets in.
She doesn't want to do it.

That's the only thing
I'm confused about.

It's very confusing.

The overall story is we
had ultimate intimacy last night,

so your partner should
be able to have a choice

to bring you guys closer.
Which she did.

Right, she didn't.

She had a choice.
Why didn't she have a choice?

I didn't say, don't do it.

I just said it will make me very
uncomfortable if that happens.

I'm quite shocked.

*The whole point of last night

was for the woman to have her
ultimate fantasy.

And I feel like Steve
really failed on that.

And I feel like Steve
just doesn't care.

He just I think he's only
thinking about himself.

I'm a little bit
more conservative.

And I wouldn't want to, uh,
to possibly put myself in

a position like that on,
you know,

in front of many people.

After the cameras left...
Yes.

..was her ultimate fantasy then

realised just between the
two of you.

Um, we talked it through,
but then we had a falling out

after that and we didn't stay in
the same room last night, so...

Oh. What happened?

Um, Rebecca was saying that

the only reason she is here
was to find love.

And I kind of called her
out on that,

because I'm sure there's other
reasons Rebecca's here also.

She's telling you that
the only reason

she came here was to find love.

And I am sure of that because I had
various conversations with Rebecca

prior to her being officially a part
of the experiment.

But I'm sure people don't
say

there's other reasons in their
audition tape.

So on her ultimate Fantasy Night,

she doesn't get to act out her
fantasy,

and got none of the feeling desire,

but then got a little
judgement on why she's here.

It doesn't sound very good for
Rebecca.

From what I'm hearing.
It wasn't good for either one of us.

Yes, but it was her night,

so I'm concerned about
how good it was for her.

I didn't ask for her to please me.
So this was her night.

No, but you did stay here,

and say you wanted
to work on the relationship.

Yeah.

And when presented with
the opportunity to

help her understand that she is
somebody

that you are attracted to,
like you have stated in the past.

I said I could be
attracted to Rebecca, yeah.

You said you found
her very attractive.

As a person, yeah, absolutely.

There's an internal
attractiveness

and there's an external, so...

So which one are you attracted to?

Um...

Um...

Externally, Rebecca
is a beautiful woman.

Um, there's parts of
Rebecca's personality

which are beautiful as well.

Externally, she's beautiful,
internally, parts.

Is that your answer?

Internally, there's
personality traits

which I find adorable, yeah.

A bit of a bullshit comment,
to be honest.

Like, I feel like Steve's
flirting around

instead of just saying the straight
answer.

I feel like he's not being 100% open
with Alessandra or Rebecca,

but I don't think he's telling her,

I think he's flirting,
fluffing around

with all these other things.

He was being pretty combative.

I feel like you're skirting around
my questions...

No, not at all.
..trying to sound good...

I'm trying to sound good?
..and I don't really - mm!

Like that.

OK, well, I mean,
I disagree with you.

Ask me a question,
I'll give you a genuine answer.

I'm not waiting for anybody
to tell me what to say.

OK.

Honestly, the lack of respect
that you're showing me as somebody

who's here to help guide you...

OK.
..is appalling.

Really tread lightly.

I don't take to this well.

I wasn't referring to...
(STAMMERS)

Honestly, who else
would you be referring to?

It's so absurd.
Yeah.

OK.

I feel like a 50 year
old man should know better

and how to speak to a woman.

He should be apologising to
Alessandra the way he spoke to her.

Again, Steve, do not even.

(LAUGHS)

Again, Steve, really tread lightly.

I don't take to this well.

Well, I'd rather
not say any more.

I think that was misinterpreted.

So I withdraw when I hear things
like that,

because then I just -
I'd rather not continue.

It is really disappointing
that you're not realising

the amount of compatibility that
there is between you and Rebecca,

and the real possibility for
something fabulous to grow here.

OK.

I didn't take a lot of it,
to be honest.

Yeah, I find there was a lot
of contradiction in the room.

Um, so I listened.

Um, I heard and as I said,

I didn't really take anything from
it, to be honest.

I think Steve had a complete
lack of respect towards Alessandra,

didn't listen to
what she had to say,

and that obviously shows
his intentions

of what he's done with Rebecca on
her ultimate fantasy night.

It gives you an ultimate reflection.

Doesn't show any respect
or any remorse.

NARRATOR: At the apartments,

the grooms are back
from the intimacy workshop.

Your back.

I missed you.
I missed you.

Oh, I got us a nice
bottle of wine.

OK. Love it.

Mm.

The brides are eager to
hear what advice

Alessandra had for their husbands.

OK, so tell me, how was it?

Um...

However, the men are still reeling

after witnessing one groom's
behaviour.

I was pretty pissed off.
What do you mean?

Steve was (BLEEP) rude.

Steve ended up like
basically having an argument

with Alessandra.

He was being completely
disrespectful towards Alessandra.

He was disrespecting -

Wait. What?
Yeah.

He was like, you've
got an earpiece in.

It's like,
what are you talking about?

That's not on.

He was just being (BLEEP) rude,
pretty much.

Steve, being rude to
Alessandra doesn't shock me,

because he is the kind of man
that talks over women

and likes to control situations.

And the minute he's not in control,
he loses it.

That's not OK.

He's the oldest man
in the room as well.

And he's acting like a child.

But there's more.

When you and Rebecca
got all those outfits.

Like, what was her
intention behind that?

She wanted to put them
on and be like, hey, Steve,

like, this is me.

But she said to me,

"If he's weird
when I get in there,

and I say, I've been shopping
and I bought this,

I'm not gonna put myself out
there like that."

Did she dress up?
No.

(BLEEP) you, Steven, are you joking?

Obviously, she felt
completely uncomfortable.

That's (BLEEP).
He's literally dulling her...

her shine every day.

Rebecca was so excited yesterday.

She was full of life.
She was confident.

She was feeling hot.

She got these little outfits.
She was giggling.

It was a good time.

And then for her
to have gone home,

and she sounds like she
didn't put any of them on.

It's crazy to me.

But he also said that,
well,

Rebecca's not even there
just for love.

She's there for other reasons.
Rebecca?

Yeah.
Are you serious?

Yeah.

Rebecca is 100% here
for the right reasons.

She only wants love.

She has so much love to give.

And I think for him to just
treat her like that

and not make her feel her best self
is really not OK.

I can't believe it.

I'm actually going to have words
with him at the dinner party,

because that's not OK.

After some terse words from
Alessandra,

a defiant Steve has
arrived home where,

after their night apart,
Rebecca has moved back in,

hoping he's had time to reflect on
last night's argument.

Oh.

Um, you know, we sort of
had a little dust up,

and it just feels like we're back
to scratch again.

Yeah.

Um, I'm not sure the way forward.

So, yeah, it's just, um,

I have no other words.

I just feel like that, um,
we're on completely different pages.

Even in that whole intimacy
challenge,

like I respected you.

I've been going at your speed
pretty much.

I feel like I'm giving a lot
more into it than you are.

I think that's unfair.

Apart from the intimacy thing,

not wanting to do anything
that I consider

personally not TV-worthy.
Yep, yep.

OK? I find it something
I wouldn't do in real life,

let alone on TV.

We're on Married At First Sight
to be out of our comfort zone?

I'm saying,
but intimacy is not about sex.

And now you're saying it's...
I'm not saying it's about sex.

You just said
it's Sex At First Sight.

I'm saying I'm not about
to put on a show making it

look like a soft porn or
something like that.

It's actually quite laughable.

Anyway, yeah, I just get
the feeling that you're not all in

to make yourself vulnerable,
to do it with me.

And for me, I haven't been my
true, authentic self.

OK.

And I'm sick of being half
of who I am,

because I'm so fearful that I'm
going to be too much for you.

So chances are
you are too much for me.

Yes, I agree.
I think we're on the same page.

Yeah.

Yeah, OK.

So, you know, end of story,
isn't it?

I'm not going to all of a sudden
turn this around and go,

"Hey, let's try again."

You know what, Steve?
I wouldn't expect you to.

I think that you're more concerned
about how you're going to look.

Where I don't care.

I don't mind how people want
to perceive me or judge me.

The only thing I've always
worried about is

I think I'm a kind,
respectful person.

So, yeah, alright?

So I'll get some things,
and then they'll let me know,

I guess, where I'm staying.

And I'll get some dinner. I'll...
Yeah.

You know, I think I tried anyway,
so...

Yeah.

Let's just leave it at that.

OK.

What a stand-up guy.

He didn't even want to try.

He doesn't want to try.

And he will not take
accountability for his actions.

He does not care.

He doesn't care.

OK, and I'm sorry it hasn't worked
out the way you maybe wanted it to,

but I've been kind, I've been nice,
and I've been there for you.

There you go "the way you
wanted it to work out."

No, OK, the way we want to...

We came in here to actually make a
relationship.

I'm trying to...
Yeah, Steve.

At least you get
to be yourself now, yeah?

And you can
give them the TV gold

that you've been holding back on,
yeah?

So, go for it.

Joke.

"I'm a nice guy, I'm kind."

"I'm here for the right reasons."

No, you're not, Steve.

He honestly thinks, hand on heart,

that he's tried in this experiment,
which is not the case.

He would have to be the weakest man
I've ever met in my entire life.

If he wasn't ready he should never,
ever have joined the experiment.

He simply was not ready for it.

He's tried.

Steve was not vulnerable
at all in this experiment.

I actually have no words.
Sorry, guys.

I'm just like, I'm (BLEEP) ropeable.

If he came to this experiment
with, um,

hope of meeting a potential person
at the end of it or whatever,

he would have come back in today,

he would have swallowed his pride
and his ego,

he would have taken
accountability for his actions,

and he'd done some self-reflection
and owned his shit.

Instead, he did zero.

And then the cop out.
Am I a lot for him?

Well, no.
The reality is I'm just enough.

And he's not enough for me.

Coming up...

Careful, might poke your eye out.

Alessandra sets
the groom's a secret mission.

What is David doing?

Damn, boy.

So this is yours
if you want it.

But will all the wives be
keen on their covert plans?

No, I don't want to.

# #

NARRATOR: Intimacy week has begun
in earnest for our grooms,

with Alessandra having
assigned them covert tasks

to perform for their wives.

After the Men's Intimacy
workshop,

I challenged the grooms to perform
a covert task for their wives,

secretly displaying care,
compassion, and attraction

by doing something small yet special
for their partner.

After the workshop with
Alessandra today,

my plan is to pull all the stops out
of the bag tonight

and treat my wife like the queen she
is.

Oh, hey, gorgeous, how are you?
Hello.

Good, how are you?
It feels like forever.

I know Alissa loves a clean
apartment,

so I'm gonna offer my cleaning
services.

How you been doing?
Yeah, it was good. Just chill -

Pretty chill.
Just chilling.

But you know we're not
going to just find this,

you know on Google search.

This is an exclusive service.

And my wife is one lucky lady.

I'm gonna have to
tidy up this fridge.

Mm?
It's just looking a bit messy.

What?

Careful, might poke your eye out.

(GIGGLES)
What are you doing?

What is David doing?

Oh, my god, this is a lot.

Damn, boy.

I got my, uh, baby making gown,

and now I'm gonna clean the hell out
of our apartment.

You know, if this doesn't
get her tingling,

I don't know what will.

Why don't you clean to
me like this every day?

He's thick.
"He's thick."

That thick ass.

Wow.

No dust is going
to be left behind.

Oh, why did you know
this is my fantasy?

I just know you, babe.

And cleans.
I know how to get you turned on.

Can you do the lampshade,
please, as well?

Absolutely.

Do you want it harder?
Faster? Or slower?

Slower, just...
oh, yeah, that's way better.

Acts of service.
That's a turn on for me

When men do things that help you,
that's a turn on.

So if you're going to do those
things, I'll serve you.

I'll serve you later.

Gorgeous.

Do you like the view from behind
or...?

Yeah, it's a juicy booty.

It's just so hot.

Can I just touch them?

You can touch them.
Yeah, they're really, really nice.

I think the pecs on it,

like he's got bigger tits than me,
honestly.

Yeah.
These are cleaning man's pecs.

Can you make them dance for me?

That's it. That's my boy.

(LAUGHTER)

I always love a man that cleans,
and he's definitely

going to have to be cleaning
in that apron from now on,

but I think he's going to
have to lose the jocks.

While David's cleaning seems
to have sparked some intimacy

in his relationship,

things are
far less certain for Steven,

who's hoping a peace offering
will help get his relationship

with Rachel back on track.

I don't know where
I currently stand, Rachel.

The way she was packing
her bags this morning,

there was a bit of anger.

She totally cleaned
out the apartment.

So I'd like to know where she's
at and work my way from there.

Hello.
Holy shit. What?

I thought I'd bring
you a little something.

I love roses much.

Rachel loves her flowers,

but I wouldn't say I've
won her over.

I would say she's
given me a chance.

I noticed you really
cleaned out the apartment,

and I sort of took that as
a message of like,

oh, shit,
maybe she's checked out now.

Um, I guess I was trying to,
like,

send a message and get you to
understand,

like, how serious is this for me?

I stood there really vulnerably
last night,

and I feel rejected.

Flowers, help.
They do help.

But it's more than flowers.

I understand that.

It needs to come from you now.

Yeah.

I'm really sorry that
I hurt your feelings.

And I felt like now that I've
reflected on it,

I could have done your ultimate
fantasy task differently.

You are sorry,
and I appreciate that,

but also not going to back away
from holding you accountable

to what you're saying
you're going to do.

I'm not giving up.

Steven popping in tonight
has really helped our relationship

because I really
didn't expect him to.

I feel like it's sunk in how
he actually made me feel.

But I wouldn't call it a huge
turning point yet

because there's more to follow.

Actions speak louder than words.

So I'll go back in
with Steven tomorrow.

But for me, actions
is what I need.

Alright, I'll see you tomorrow,
right?

Get some sleep.

I'm glad to
be given a second chance,

and I'm really hopeful that
it's a turning point.

Talk tomorrow.
Yeah.

I'm hoping this time in a few days
it's a much different situation.

I need to put
some water in them.

Also hoping to turn things
around in his relationship is Chris,

who's finally home from
a late night shopping spree

to help with his intimacy
task for Brook.

Obviously, I'm going to do
something nice for Brook.

I'd do something nice
for Brook regardless,

but obviously it's just trying
to reinforce the fact that I'm here

and I'm doing the best I can.

How are you going?
Amazing.

How was today?
Um, yeah.

No, there's a bit of insight.

What was in the insight?

Um, just to keep - I don't know,
putting my best foot forward.

Mm.

After the hiccups that we've had,
I'm just going to show Brook that,

you know, that we're good
together and reinforce that.

I've got something I'd like to
do for yourself.

Gosh.
Um, you give me five?

OK.

And I want to set something
up for you.

Alright?
Alright.

Alright. Get out of here.

I just want to try and switch
her mindset bit by bit

into putting her trust in me.

OK. Bye.
Trust me.

OK.
Thanks.

So I'm gonna
do spa night for Brook.

A few little face masks,
bubble bath,

something just nice and small,
but also make her feel appreciated.

Obviously,
I'm hoping it pays off.

I think anyone in my position
would be hoping it pays off.

Obviously feeling
a little overwhelmed.

Um, I was kind of looking
forward for some space

after what I had left Chris on this
morning,

but he's going out and doing
these tasks

to make me feel good, obviously,

but I feel a little bit smothered.

I've tried to explain that to
him so many times,

and I don't think he's
understanding.

Why am I nervous?
Don't be nervous.

I just am hoping that it's not too
romantic or anything like that,

considering I'm just
feeling a little overwhelmed

with how I'm feeling towards
him at the moment.

(ANGULAR STRINGS)

So this is yours if you want it.

Mm.
So what are you thinking?

Worst case, we can, we can...

we can do maybe a couple of
glasses of champagne,

some face masks on the couch
if you want to, but up to you.

No, I don't want to.

Sorry.
Nah, nah, it's fine.

He's done something super
thoughtful for me,

which is beautiful,

but I'm not feeling it
at the moment.

I think after this morning's chat,
I don't know if he's

really understanding where
I'm at still.

And I don't know how many
times I can tell him.

Obviously, there's a bit of
a situation between us

where you're feeling a bit uneasy.
Mm.

Um, which is completely fine.

As I said, there's two
people in a relationship.

Yeah.

Um, it's sort of for me
about just doing the best that I can

and knowing that I've tried to
do whatever I can

to make things comfortable or better
for you.

Yeah, but I just need you to know
that, like, it's not about that.

Yeah.
It's about what I've seen.

And that's what I'm struggling with.

It's taking a toll on me.
Like it really is.

And I just need a little bit
of space,

and that's all I can
ask for right now.

Disappointed, um,
more in myself, obviously.

Causing Brook to pull back.

But it's just that in
the back of her mind,

she's got some doubt.

I'm obviously invested.

It's just a matter of -
I don't know.

Wait and see how things pan
out over the coming weeks.

I definitely feel like I'm in
limbo at the end of the day,

I've got obviously got feelings,
Brook's got feelings.

She's just she's just
holding them back.

So I think she's not really gonna
dive into them unless

she's fully confident of the
situation and where it's going.

Um, so I guess that, yeah,

that's basically
what we're waiting for.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm doing well.

Yeah.

NARRATOR: After a challenging start
to their relationship,

Intimacy Week now has Mel and Luke
heading in the right direction.

(KNOCKING)
We have a letter.

However, Intimacy Week itself is not
without its own challenges.

Alright, let's do it.

Physical intimacy can take time.

Jumping right in is not
always the best way

forward for individuals.

I knew intimacy week wouldn't
be intimacy week

without some kind of physical
intimacy.

I knew it.

Are you nervous?

Physical intimacy between
Mel and I

is still waiting outside the door.

It's not even in here yet.

This task invites you to build trust
and grow physical connection

between partaking in small steps
through the eyes and the body.

Luke and I basically
have no physical intimacy.

Mini golf, we high fived.
Mini golf, we didn't even hug.

So this task is like, whoa!

Enjoy. Alessandra.

What's the next thing say?

Step 1: The Eye Gaze.

Begin by sitting across from
your partner

and looking in their eyes for three
uninterrupted minutes.

Three minutes.
Three uninterrupted minutes.

Staring at Luke's eyes for
three minutes?

Holy moly.

Like, internally,
I'm screaming like ah!

Like,
this is really intense for us,

for two people who have just
recently started hugging.

Ready, set, go!

As I was really looking into
Luke's eyes,

I realised he's got a really caring
heart

and I'm definitely more
comfortable with him.

As it kind of went on,
it just became more and more chill,

and then felt like
a comfortable kind of place.

Well, I think I've ever looked at
someone with three minutes before.

No. (LAUGHS)
Have you ever done that?

Right. Step 2: The Hug.

Now that you've connected
through the eyes,

bring your bodies together.

Melt into each other's arms
and share a long three minutes...

Oh, my god!
..embrace.

Oh, I'm so nervous for this.

We haven't had more than a one
second hug,

so a three minute hug is like
crazy town for us.

Oh, man.

OK, ready?

Are you going over or under?
Over.

Or should I go under? I'll go...
You're gonna drag me down?

I'll go under.
No, no, you do whatever you want.

OK, ready, set, go.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

We've never hugged like this.

We've given, like, a little,
hello, how you going?

But, like, not a hug, hug.

And I feel like I am a bit of,
like a physical person.

So bridging that gap of
being a little bit physical.

Yeah, it feels nice.

(ALARM SOUNDS)

Nice.
OK.

That was a big milestone for us.

Are you OK?
Yeah.

I feel like if we did that
hug a week ago,

we would have been counting down
the seconds till it ended.

So I definitely see
a little bit of progress.

Oh, my god,

I'm so shocked that we were able to
hug each other for three -

hug each other for three minutes
like we've just started hugging.

Let's be real.

So the fact that we could hug for a
long time like shooketh to my core.

We've already come so far just now,
so I'm, I'm happy.

Same. Me too.

This task definitely
has brought me closer to Luke,

and we definitely have been
progressing in the right direction.

I'm finally getting to a place where

I am letting my walls down a little
bit.

Imagine us this time two weeks
ago having to do this challenge.

I know, impossible.
Oh.

Oh, my god.

See you later.

Like one of us would have walked out
of the room table, flipped.

You know, shit everywhere.

Like we would have
stormed out of the room.

So to be able to do this,
it was huge for us.

I reckon we've done well.
Me too.

I feel closer with Mel after the
task,

because that physical gap between us

has kind of been
bridged a little bit.

Near the start of intimacy week,

I didn't know how the tasks were
beneficial,

but now I'm starting to see like,
yeah,

the tasks have a bit
of a positive impact.

(LAUGHS) I got you.

Coming up...

Is this going to be the hill
as a couple we die on?

It's Steven's
moment of truth.

I can't.

And one bride
has disappeared.

NARRATOR: After a heartfelt apology
last night from Steven.

This morning, Rachel is moving
back into the apartment.

In you go.

Rachel's home with her
half a dozen bags

and all her stuff.

Yeah, it's nice for her to be back

and bring a few of the household
items.

As you can see, you can
bounce a coin off this bed.

I wouldn't say you
could bounce a coin off it,

but you have made it.

And that's a start.
I love it.

It's good to be home and it's
nice to be back with Steven,

but I have made it very clear
that Steven has to step up.

It's all going to come from you now,

but I wouldn't come back if I didn't
feel good about us.

I'm here because I want
to be here, OK?

OK.
Can I have a hug?

Sure.

It's good to have you back.

I felt like I really
screwed up with Rachel.

And I'm glad to be
given a second chance.

She's put the ball in my court,
so it's up to me now.

Let's get the relationship
back on track.

As always, you make me feel
really comfortable.

As always. Um...

(KNOCKING)
Oh, hold that thought.

Uno momento.

Luckily for Steven,
Alessandra's next task

could just give him
the opportunity

to put his money where his mouth is.

Ah! We got mail.

Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo,
hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo!

Physical intimacy can take time.

Jumping right in is not
always the best way

forward for all individuals.

I know Steven struggles
with intimacy.

He's expressed that
multiple times.

Obviously, one of our tasks
definitely didn't go well.

But if you're not going to
put everything into these tasks,

what's the point?

The kiss.

Share a long, passionate kiss.

Your goal is to make
your partner feel seen,

wanted, and desired.

I really stuffed up with
the ultimate fantasy.

Seeing her break down
in front of me,

it's really scarred me,

and I thought there was no coming
back from that.

If you're comfortable,

I encourage you to kiss for three
minutes with no distractions,

no hesitation, just passion,
presence and connection.

Miles will chuck some
nerves in there as well

to make it even more awkward.

If this is something you're
willing to try,

essentially, I will follow
your lead on this

because I've already told you once

and I'm going to reiterate it,

this now comes from you.

I've already put myself out there...
Yeah.

..in this like respect.

So I will follow your
lead on this one.

Just look...

You know, I don't go
around kissing all the time,

so it's been a while.

Last night he said if he
could do things differently,

he probably would.

Well, this is do or die, babes.

I can't.

Three minutes is a long time.

Is this going to be the hill
as a couple we die on?

There is no way
I can do three minutes.

I don't want our first proper
kiss to be three minutes.

I think that that's
just a bit too much.

You know what?

(BLEEP) it.

Just give me a kiss, damn it.

And you said
you're a bad kisser.

How was it?
It was good.

I've still got it.

I just can't believe how blushed
you've gone.

What can I say?

The guy I like
finally kissed me.

I'm pretty happy with myself.

He seized the moment.

I've really been wanting
Steven to show me

in his actions, not just his words,

and he really did that.

So I have learned
a lot this week.

So it's not just this task,
it's all the tasks.

And I could take my time
back on that one

where I really (BLEEP) up,
I would change it.

I really would,
I would do things differently.

I do hope that he
felt something from that

because shit I did.

I want to have another hug.
Oh.

Thank you.

Well, one bride's relationship

seems to be moving
in the right direction.

Another bride has disappeared.

After a fraught intimacy week,

Brook has made the shock decision to
leave the experiment.

Mm.

Just trying to
think how to word it.

Brook's decided to go back
home to the Gold Coast.

She's just followed her,
her mind and her heart,

and had to had to pull the pin.

I'm not gonna sit here and lie
and say I'm not upset.

I think anyone with feelings and
emotions directed towards someone,

and then obviously
they're not reciprocating.

It's always going to hurt.

I came in this not thinking I'd
get matched with anyone

that I'd have a connection
with at all.

And then I met Brook.

I've said from the start
that I thought she was

this amazing person with
an awesome personality.

And obviously I was attracted to
her and had feelings for her.

I met someone that
I didn't think I would meet

in a million years.

We got along so well
and had a lot in common.

And you know,

we talk and share things
openly and honestly.

It feels like I've
known her for years.

But Brook's gone and I'm
here by myself now

and it's, you know, it's difficult.
It feels like there's a void now.

Obviously sad, but I understand
how we've gotten to where we are,

and I know it all stems from me,
my attitude and my audition video.

Obviously, it's just been a bit
of a catalyst,

and it made things very hard to sort
of get to a good spot with Brook.

So I think I'm more just
disappointed in myself.

There's been a lot of learnings.

I think, I think the biggest
thing for me is just to start

thinking a lot more about situations
and the gravity of situations

before I make
comments and remarks,

which get me in trouble
every day in life.

But I do feel like I gave 100%.

I've been trying to be that
positive person

and put my best foot forward.

Obviously hoping to change
her how she feels about me.

But now, um, I just feel defeated.

(BELL RINGS)

NARRATOR: Tomorrow night.

What is going on here?

I don't understand.

We need an explanation.

A dinner party so confronting...

Oh.

..it has to be seen
to be believed.

Oh, my god.

No.

It's the allegation...

I'm beyond shocked.

..that will split
the experiment wide open.

Oi, no!
That's enough, guys.

Just calm down.
Don't talk about her like that.

Hell broke loose.

It was just insane.

It's a real betrayal.
Yeah.

And it's had a terrible
effect on the entire group.

I don't want to be sitting
at a table with that going on.

I think some relationships
will be destroyed tonight.

I mean, honestly.

I think it's going to be
hard to come back from this.
