We consummated the marriage.
Previously...
Nothing in my heart changed.

..after a challenging
Commitment Ceremony...

You haven't even looked at me.
I'm really confused.

..there was an emotional breakthrough
for Rozz and Thomas...

I feel sad, that, like, I would make
anyone feel like that.

It really means a lot that she can
admit there are things

that she can work on.

I know I need to communicate
better with her.

..while Confessions Week brought some
couples closer.

You're open and caring.

I can see myself

falling for you.

The brutal honesty of their task...

Do you think we have the same
level of maturity?

No.

..sent Shona and Brad on a downward
spiral...

He told everyone intimate
things about us.

..made worse by Brad criticising
his wife behind her back...

He grabbed me to tell me, "Shona's
immature.

"Shona is naive."

..causing the group to question
the couple's connection.

I see them as one of the weakest
couples. For sure.

Is it love or is it lust?

Red buzzer.

Lust.

Tonight...

Are you comfortable with
the physical side

of our relationship?

..the honesty box is back...

No, I'm not.

..as the couples face uncomfortable
truths.

Do you see us being intimate again?

Erm...

The group's continued scrutiny...

Me and Shona? She loves me

and I love her.

Recall that bullshit straight away.

..takes its toll on Shona and Brad.

I'm assuming that people don't see
the love

that we have for each other.

Shut up.

Relax. Let it go.

Oh!

Oh, my hair!

The newlyweds have now been living
together for a week...

Rozz? Yeah.

OK.

..and are getting ready for their
second dinner party

of the experiment.

You almost ready, Jay?

Nowhere near.

Shock.

Dinner Party Two.

I don't want to be too optimistic,
but I think we're one

of the strongest, if not
the strongest couple.

Yeah, I agree with you.

Are you looking forward to today?

I am.

I am. I'm looking forward to us
not being the drama.

Oh.

At the last dinner party,
Porscha and Terence's marriage

began to crumble.

I gave you one bit of criticism.

I'm not going to be called childish.
Hold on!

And during the last commitment
ceremony,

Terrence made a drastic decision.

At the moment, I'm being honest.

I have to say, I'm leaving.

And I actually wrote Stay.

So as long as one person
writes, Stay,

the couple stays.

With some guidance from Mel...

You need a little bit of help.

..the couple were able to reconcile
their differences.

Porscha, I apologise for calling
you childish.

I accept your apology.

Great. That is fantastic.

Can't wait to see you in this dress.

Do you like it?

Yeah, it looks nice.

I don't want to say too much. I
don't want to get too excited

but I can't wait to just hang out
with my husband

and there not be any drama.

You look lovely.

All dressed up, putting me to shame.

You look good.

I'm literally just wearing the same
clothes

I wear every day, to be honest.
I know.

I think after our guidance session
with Paul, he gave us both

a chance to talk.

Yeah, like work on being better
with each other. Yeah.

We both feel like, "OK, our
feelings have been validated."

Do you not agree? Yeah.

I think Confessions Week has been
really good.

It's helped Rozz and I meet each
other in the middle in terms of

our communication.

All the tensions that have been
stifling in the air,

it feels like they're dissipating,
so it's exciting, tonight.

Don't look at me like that.

Are you excited to see all
the couples later?

I am, actually, yeah.

I think Ella and Nathaniel, Ella
wants a lot more

than what Nathaniel has to offer
right now.

Ella wants him maybe to say, like,
"I find you attractive" and... Yeah.

..I feel like you just can't say
that if you're not feeling it.

But I think that's just how the love
styles are, just, different.

I saw the hurt in Ella's eyes at the
last commitment ceremony... Yeah.

..and I never, ever want to see
that look on her face again

because it broke me into pieces.

All she wants is to hear, "Ella,
I fancy you."

And she's not had it, and it's
killing her.

The dinner party.

I know.

I'm finding things hard
at the minute.

Makes two of us.

Since their honeymoon, Ella
and Nathaniel have struggled

to find a connection.

I need to get to know who this
entity is

to see if my heart connects.

I feel like I'm putting in all the
effort.

I'm making all the compromises.

I said to him on the honeymoon,
"Do you even fancy me?

"Like, am I your type?"

But my fancy doesn't come from the
outside.

My fancy is the soul.

And during Confessions Week,
Nathaniel communicated

what he needs from Ella.

I need depth in conversation
for me to grow with us.

That's what I'm trying to say.

The mood between me and Ella
was a bit frosty this morning.

Confession Week.

I'll show you my point of view
where I came from.

I need a deeper sort of more
intellectual conversation to spark

some kind of something.

Ella wants people to rip her clothes
off to make her feel wanted.

That's not me.

We're going at different
speeds, and I just hope,

maybe, we can catch up.

I actually think Confession Week
hasn't gone well at all.

Nathaniel's got needs, and I have
needs.

And we both need to meet
in the middle.

I didn't think that at this point
it would be this difficult to know

whether my husband actually
fancied me or not,

but walking into the dinner party,
I'm putting on a brave face.

I'm going to unite with my husband
and walk in

as the fit couple that we are.

I feel like the last few days it's
just been you and I.

I haven't seen anyone. I know, yeah.

We've just been working on ourself.
We have.

We needed that time to just spend
you and I.

Sometimes there's a lot of pressure
with being the golden couple.

There's always going to be a bump
in the road.

Me and Shona have got through
the initial checkpoint

of issues within each other

and the more we talk to each other,
the stronger we become.

When you go in at such a rate,
you know, flying, there's

going to have to be a period
of growth.

So I'm glad we had the argument.

That doesn't define our progress...

No. ..moving forward. No.

Brad and I have had our bumps
in the road this week.

I feel like we're always going to be
facing issues, but it's how

we tackle those issues and I feel
like I understand him more now.

He gets me more now.

We both just agreed to just keep
ourselves a little bit more private.

I would say, like the other
night, everybody seemed

to have their strong opinions
on Brad and Shona.

I think cracks will appear,
though, with them two.

It's just too soon to chuck
in the love bomb.

He's very dominant
in the relationship.

You can just tell like he's openly
talking about some of the like some

of the stuff that they've been up
to in the bedroom.

And some of the stuff is,
like, shocking...

I'd be fuming if that were you.
..d'ya know what I mean?

it's not something that you'd want
your partner to be discussing, like,

him still doing it in the groups of
people, it's like...

I know. ..how much do you really
love the girl?

I mean, I know a lot about their,
erm... Yeah, so do I.

..their sexual appetites. Yeah.

More than I should know.

More than we should know.

More than anybody should know
other than Brad.

I don't know how Shona can trust
Brad after saying stuff like that.

As far as I'm aware, it's private.

I think they did yoga together, and
that's why she trusts him again.

People have different opinions
on each other now, where last week

we didn't really have no opinions
on each other because we didn't know

each other long enough.

It's going to kick off, innit?

I've got a feeling. I hope it
doesn't.

I want to know what Nathaniel and
Ella are going to be like as well,

because it feels like there's so
much between them two at the moment.

It seems like maybe they're not
being honest with each other.

You know more than me, but I don't
know.

This is always a time and a place
where everything seems to come out.

I just think Brad and Shona they've
been too quiet

and a lot of people have opinions on
them.

Everyone, including me, has an
opinion on them.

I do want to get to know everyone,
but at the same time,

I want to spend loads of time with
you.

Yeah, yeah. Obviously, I came
here to be with a partner.

Do you know what I mean? Yeah. So
making friends wasn't a thing.

Don't get me wrong, I'd be like,

"Yeah, like the sex is good or we're
having sex."

That's fine, but don't go into the
nitty gritty details of it.

That's disrespectful.

So, here we are, it is the second
dinner party

right off of Confessions Week.

The couples are finally beginning to
know each other.

The ice is broken within the group,
so I'd expect them to be

a little bit more open with each
other tonight,

but of course, it's still
very much about comparison.

How are we doing compared
with the other couples?

Ah! We're the first here. Ah!

Daniel and Ella to begin with.

Oh, this is how I like it.
Nice and quiet.

I wanted everyone to see the, the
outfit.

Do you want one?

Oh, my God. Sorry.

Oh, my God, I didn't realise the lid
was...

Oh! How embarrassing!

Oh, gosh.

Hey.

These two are very interesting
because they look the part

of the couple, but their body
language suggests

that they're anything but that.

Cheers.

Anyway... Yeah.

It feels a bit uncomfortable

but I'm curious about what's going
on in their relationship.

Hey!

Jay and Luke holding hands, big
smiles.

This is what we like.

Look at you!

You look fit!

You look sexy.

You look good. You all right?

Was it deliberately matching?

I got dressed. I, literally, got
dressed first, so she copied me.

Is everything all right with you
two?

Yeah, yeah, we're really good.

You and him good? Yeah. Really good.

I'm really enjoying myself?

Yeah? What about you?

We went on a date yesterday.

Did you?

And we were given a task. Yeah.

So our task is that he had to write
me a letter, so he wrote me a letter

basically saying one thing he likes
in a relationship is like,

intellectual conversations and
getting to know me deep

on a deeper level. Yeah.

Which I never knew, he never said
that to me before.

I guess this is outside of Ella's
comfort zone really, because a lot

of her focus has been on the
physical attributes of each

person in the relationship

but Nathaniel's saying actually
need more than that.

I need to go deeper.

Hello? Hello.

Stunning. Stunning, as always.

I'm not seeing that high
energy from Shona and Brad.

Last time we saw they were
all over each other.

There was a lot of physical
intimacy, but there's a different

energy this evening.

Yeah. Slowly but surely
they're all filling up.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Everyone seems to think they're the
weakest couple connection wise.

Do they know that?

I don't know.

So interestingly, here, Shona
and Brad being the weakest couple

when just last week they presented
like they were the strongest. Yeah.

What are you saying, gents?
Good man.

We good? Sweet. Oh! How have you
been?

Well, ups, downs.

We had a big row.

Big argument.

A lot of the things came to the
surface,

but once we've got this out,
the air is clear.

We've let it go

and we moved.

I think that's, if I'm honest,

we all feel you and Shona have the
least amount of connections.

The... The Sexual connection, we can
see that with you.

..sexual connection is bang on,

but then, like, actually, we don't
know what other connections
are there.

And then someone said like that
you've been going around saying

about what we've been doing
in the bedroom with Shona.

Obviously we spoke about that
we've been in intimate.

Yeah, it's more in detail stuff.

But the thing is though, I'm
straight, like

I will never beat around the bush.

Like, look at you both and say like,
you will get direct honesty from me.

I get the sense there that Brad
is creating a distraction, you know,

because here Luke's challenging him
about what's

going on in their relationship
and he's throwing

it off in this direction of, "I'm a
person who likes

"to speak my truth."

I think that's a tactic that he uses
here.

Hi, guys! Wow!

Peggy and Georges looking beautiful.
Yes.

All right, you go say hello,

I'll get you a drink. Yeah?

Oh, thank you, babe.

Notice what he just said,

being the gentleman, "You go
say hello,

"I'll go get you a drink."

He's really shown that he can be
romantic

and what's really lovely to see
is how Peggy responds to that.

She loves that.

Yes.

But you just sit like a Barbie
doll... A Barbie?

..and I love it.

You look banging babes.

Oh, thank you. So do you, girls.
Thank you.

How have you been?

Good. All good. What about you?
Yeah, good.

This week, we had to list
priorities one to nine.

He put children last.

I put children a lot higher.

But I've got sex lower down.

For me, children is much
more important than sex.

I want children, so I need
to be with somebody that

that wants children.

You can clearly see that this is
something that's bothering Peggy.

and these are the questions that
they have to ask each other.

And that's why this confessions
exercise is so critical to have,

because it gets our couples
having these really fundamental

conversations about what is
important to me

in my life going forward.

Peggy and Georges, they're showing
some resilience, learning

from each other as opposed to
sweeping it under the rug.

We haven't really spoken, have we?

No, I know nothing about that.

Right.

From what I hear, I don't want
to touch on what I hear.

Yeah. You know... What did you hear?

Guys, I just want to know what's
everyone been saying

about me and Brad.

You're wrapped up in each other.
Yeah,

we just aren't together all the
time.

But I have been living in a bubble,
and I am aware of that

and I'm coming out now.

I did say to Bradley, though, I was
like, "Oh shit, if we break up,

"if you dump me, then I have no
friends."

Oh, we need a girl night...

Yeah. ..where we can all catch up
properly...

Yeah. ..because we need each other.

I know what it's like to be in love
and completely shut everybody off.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That was a mistake for me
personally.

Yeah, but I lost a lot of friends
by being completely

engulfed in somebody... Yeah.
..completely besotted.

I was... It wasn't a love.
It was an obsession.

I was infatuated. Yeah.

I think the girls are just like,
don't just get in this love bubble

with Brad, but mine and Brad's
relationship is our relationship.

It's not anyone else's,

and because you can't relate
to that and you can't compare

to that, it doesn't mean that it's
not OK.

Hey, sexies!

Oh.

That is swagger.

Don't take it out, why am here.

Tasha is happy and Paul is happy.

They're a happy pair.

It's fine. I'm gonna let you chat
with the boys.

That's what we like... Yeah.

..a couple who navigates their way
through the group.

A little verbal contract there.

Sealed with a kiss. Yes.

Why are we all like boy and girl?

Boy and girl?

I don't know.

Shall we sit in couples? Yeah?

I'll sit with Brad. You just want to
get back to Brad. I miss Brad.

Brad, Shona misses you already.

Bradley. Shona's has left us.

I can't believe she's telling us,

"Oh, I need to spend more time with
the girls", and two seconds later,

off she pops, gets up and sits next
to Brad.

I'm like,"Shona, babe."

Everyone was like, "We don't see
you, but I won't be offended."

She'd rather go and speak to Brad
when we're just talking

about organising a girls' night.

So Shona previously commented
on I'm now out of the bubble.

I'm here. I'm with the girls

but now that things are getting
a little bit uncomfortable,

now that she knows people are
talking about her and Brad,

she instantly wants to go
back to him.

She's in a state of infatuation,
which is an extreme state of lust.

We know that lust is a natural first
stage of any sexual relationship,

but in this case, she's prolonging
that state of lust.

And what she probably doesn't
realise here is she's separating

herself from her support group.

The girls was like they were like,
We just never see you.

Did you say has it, has it bothered
you a little bit?

I just don't like feeling like I've
not

been like a girl... Included? Do you
know what I mean? Yeah, yeah.

It's not as though we don't
want to... No, we do.

Luke did touch up on us
talking about our sex life.

OK. Yeah.

So tell her what she's, what's been
said.

Is that you've got, like,
great sexual connection.

Beyond that, it's hard to see
what other connection you've got.

People are just thinking,
that's all we do.

Like, we're just like sexual beings.

Well, it looked like that.

Yeah. What else is there?

It's pretty annoying because
it's like Bradley and I clearly

love each other.

Like, why are you doing that, Luke?

I just feel like Brad and I, you can
make a judge,

you can put us in a box, but like,
there's just so much more to it.

You have so many layers.

But they don't see that.

I get a little bit upset that people
perhaps might not see our love

and my defence mechanisms do
come on because I'm like,

but I do love him and why don't you
believe that?

Why don't you trust that?

What is the beef?

Everyone just thinks we're sexual
beings.

People need to see, you and I,

there's so many fucking layers to
us.

At the end of the day, I haven't
came here to forcefully try and put

it in everyone's face. No.

I came here to find a connection,
and I found love within you,

d'ya know what I mean?

I don't need to be like, "Oh,
everybody look"...

Yeah. "..everybody look at us."

We're so in love, we need you to
know it's true. Yeah.

Yeah, that's fake. Yeah.

We just sit and kiss, and that's not
because we're trying to kiss

to prove a point. I literally just
want to kiss you.

Me too, baby.

That conversation is a great example

of their relationship.

Shona had a strong opinion.

Brad says, "No, well, that's not my
opinion."

And immediately Shona agrees
with what Brad has to say.

She's going to Brad and she's asking
him, "How should I think?"

She needs to tell her.

She needs to tell her.

I think Sasha's got something
that she wants to say.

Have you?

Erm, me and Paul

took it to the next level,

The highest level?

She's done the deed.

Oh!

That's why Tasha walked in with a
spring in her step.

Right.

Rather naughty boy here.

Oh, really? Yeah.

I was expecting good.

I wasn't expecting dirty!

Go on, Paul!

At least it's not just me and Luke
keep going on about

shagging anymore and Brad and
Shona's fun.

She's had it, too.

I'll get it in the end.

I might be 60.

No, you won't be 60.

This is hard for Ella, isn't it?

Listening to the others, talking
about their relationships,

progressing physically

and she's still feeling very much
out in the cold. Yeah.

Listen, it might take a little bit
longer, but you'll get there.

I know, I know.

It's just not natural for me.

I'm holding back a lot in that
department... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

..because I know that's what he
wants and I'm respecting it,

but I'm not used to it. I want him
to take my clothes off...

Yeah, I can understand that, yeah.
..in the elevator. Yeah.

You've got to see it from his
perspective as well,

if he's not used to that.

Even little touches and kisses
and all that kind of stuff,

that might be a massive,
massive growth for him.

Just keep being open and honest
with him.

Ella's saying something really
powerful here that she's missing out

on physical intimacy,
and it's a lot for her.

If we look at her past
relationships, she often has used

that sex as a currency, hasn't she?

Very early in the relationship.

So this is a different mode.

Yeah, and hopefully she's up for
the challenge of doing

things slightly different.

Have you guys lived with, like,
someone before like this before?

Yeah, like, yeah.

Well, how do you compare it living
with Ella to previous people

you've lived with?

I think there's a thing with age,
like, she's...

She's younger. Yeah.

Less life experience and stuff.

Yeah, she's quite like a teenager.

Wow!

Her deepness into certain things
that I need are not there.

No depth. Yeah.

I know that I come with a good
soul and a good heart and

and I'm only doing it like, maybe I
tell her stuff like,

you shouldn't do that or listen
to me.

It's like I feel like I'm very much
a teacher in this.

What's happening here is Nathaniel
is talking about quite a nuanced

situation, particularly
around Ella's level of social

and emotional maturity.

It's essentially a power
ranking, but I think he needs

to be careful there.

Well, Ella has found out is that
what's important to Nathaniel

is that mental stimulation.

So I'd say to Nathaniel,
give her the chance to show him

that she can do that. Yeah.

Hello, darling. You OK.

You look amazing.

Yeah, so... Yeah.

I have not killed Arthur, don't
worry.

He's just very poorly,

so he's staying in bed...

But you are looking fabulous, Laura.

Thank you. How are you? How is
everyone?

Yeah, good.

Let me and Laura, obviously,
don't see eye to eye.

She's got one of them like resting
bitch face sort of thing.

But every time I look over, I'm
always looking at her,

seeing her, like, look like.

Like, d'you know what I mean? And it
could, it could just be,

that's what she's like.

At the moment, that's the vibe I'm
getting from her.

CHEERING AND SCREAMING

Oh! Oh, here we are.

Rozz and Thomas. OK.

I have to say they've come in a
little bit stronger.

Peggy, you're looking good.

I've not seen you in, like, days.

Let us hear everything.

So we're on the same train.

On the same track.

In the same carriage, yet, or..?

Yeah, er, yeah, yeah.

We are like we are together.

Travelling somewhere in public
transport.

Destination unknown.

Hi!

Oh, now!

Oh, we have a new couple
in the house.

Here we go. Wow! Holding hands.

Look at that!

Well, this week I visited
Porscha and Terence.

They both started to learn
that they have very similar values.

So now they're starting
to really celebrate the things

they have in common
rather than what's different.

It's great.

Oh.

Cheers! Hey.

How has it been this week, then?
This week's been helpful.

I think we've been getting
on very well.

We're not ready to rush anything.

So things are moving in the slow but
right direction.

Slow but right direction.

Call me hand by hand.

Well, someone looks very happy.

Am I..? It's a smile, man. You are
glowing.

It's been good, like it's very nice
week.

Change from last week, but nice to
see. Completely different.

But it's been... Time changes
things.

Are you glad? Are you glad that she
stayed? Do you know what?

Yeah, yeah, good. Yeah.

I'm ready to have a little boogie.
Yeah, I'm ready to get down.

Oh, he's having a little dance.

This is good. This is good.

Luke's made a very lazy comment
about me being a gold digger.

Based on what?

Where I drink, how I talk.

Yeah, as I'm saying it, I'm getting
more and more angry.

It's not nice being gossiped about.

Keep your ill-informed opinions
to yourself.

If it means that I have to put
another guy in his place,

then so be it. I'm here for it.

Oh, wow! That's right.

Find your share.

Where am I?

Shall I get your chair for you?
Thank you.

Here you go. Gent.

Tuck it in for you.

Oh, we're at the end.

I'm not doing very well.
Let me help you. You got it.

I've already spilt it.

Look how happy they are, Terence and
Porscha.

Power couple.

CHINKING GLASS

CHEERING

Good evening, everybody.

Yes, I want to say on behalf
of my wife and I, who we've all gone

through some rocky times.

We know that.

But actually, do you know what?

Let's enjoy the dinner party.

Have some good times, eat, drink,
celebrate, and want to raise my

glass to Arthur, who's not here
today as well.

Oh, yeah. Arthur. To Arthur. To
Arthur.

Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers.

Good speech. Thank you for that.

It was a very good speech, babe. You
did well.

I think you said more words
in that speech

than you did the whole last dinner
party.

To the love corner.

Hey, come on.

Do you feel closest since
you've stepped things further?

I did say I was falling
for you as well.

Love that.

It was weird because I said it.

She got really shy and blushing,
and I was thinking, "I'm pretty sure

"I've said this before".

He said, "I can see myself
falling in love with you."

But he, literally, said, "I am
falling in love with you."

And I was just like... Wow!

And we love love, don't we?

It's a joy. Isn't it an absolute joy
to look at them?

Yeah, they look really happy
together.

They seem to be in a really
good place.

Certainly moving in the right
direction.

Who do you feel like wears
the trousers?

I genuinely think Bradley wears the
trousers with us.

I like it.

You like it that way, don't you?

Yeah, I like, I like, dominance.

And I like when you're, like,
"Babe!"

Like, I like it.

That's why you're doing it, then?

Then.

I love... I love it.

Have you been in love?

Have I been in love?

Yes, many a time.

I was in love.

Felt so amazing.

Yeah.

I think everybody loves
a different love, isn't it?

I agree.

So I've got to have something
different.

Otherwise, if I'm craving for what I
had, I'll always

be chasing for something
I can never get.

You know how it felt.

You feel secure. You feel
safe, You feel loved.

You feel like... Seen.

Do you think that you only
get one love?

No. It's not about having one love.

It's a love that just.

Transcends all things.

Yeah.

The conversation between
Nathaniel, Rozz and Porscha

is getting very deep.

I feel a bit hurt because I wish
Nathaniel had been this open

with me.

I don't believe in like, The One,
like, that there's just one person.

Of course, I wouldn't be with
someone if I didn't think

that I would be with them forever.

I just think I do sometimes
think that's The One...

So, you... have you been in,
like...?

In love?

I'm talking love.

No.

If I could really tell you how it
was.

The love... Was so pure when you,
yeah.

And that's why I'm just looking
for everything to feel

like that again, because it felt
amazing.

Like if I think about it,
I could cry.

I don't care about the outside
anymore.

What I care about is having these
feelings again.

When I feel like I'm a bit
similar, I feel

like it was the most beautiful
thing being in love.

Sometimes it's good to try something
a little bit different.

That could be your forever love.

Yeah, I think you just said
it in a different way, which sort

of like resonated with.

Ella looks heartbroken right now.

Nathaniel has opened up to the group
more than he's ever

opened up to Ella. And she is hurt.
Yes.

Oh, Nathaniel, are you OK? I feel
like, you know...

Yeah, it was just, like... Yeah, I
know.

I just want to feel that again.

Look where Nathaniel goes
to for the support. Porscha.

He's embracing Porscha, something
he's not really doing with Ella.

Physical intimacy and emotional
intimacy are two key elements

in a relationship, and Nathaniel
is having those with other people.

I wish we had these intimate
moments together.

You want me to be open,
but I also need you to be open.

Apparently there's been a lot of
stuff said

about Bradley and I,

About the, erm, the conversations
he's had with a few people.

Like about what happens
in the bedroom.

Erm, yeah, that was spoken about.

Was anything else said about
the relationship?

About the fact that you guys.

You falling in love very quickly.

This is how we feel.

Like, genuinely, I'm obsessed with
him.

She's saying, "I'm obsessed with
him".

That's not, "I'm in love with him".
No.

In fact, that's incredibly
different.

She's really got him on a pedestal,
which is just feeding into this

he's-better-than-me narrative.

Guys, we have a little something
something over here.

What is that?

Oh, it's the honesty bar!

Good evening.

In this box are questions designed
to help you as couples.

They will encourage you to open
up and engage with some

of the more challenging
aspects of your marriages.

The questions are genuinely
constructed to help

all of you on your journey,
so please be honest.

Love Paul, Mel and Charlene.

Paul? Yes.

What's been the happiest memory
we've created together so far?

Oh!

That's lovely.

All right, honestly, me getting out
of the shower, the lights

being off and going into the bedroom
and seeing you dressed

in that beautiful lingerie
I think peaked at me.

Yeah, baby.

Yeah, baby.

Come on.

Oh, that's cute.

Shona, please ask Brad.

How do you feel about me right now?

OK, so right now, even
stronger than I did initially.

What I mean by that is I'm very
aware of love

and love's experiences.

I've been through a lot in my life.

Within this experiment,
I've been forced to let go.

Any egotistical trait that I've had,
I've been forced to surrender

and be like, "OK, listen, let
this just take over".

So when I started to feel that warm,
fuzzy feeling of butterflies rise

up from the root of my spine
up to the solar plexus.

And is this meditation or is this me
falling asleep?

I was a little bit like, "Oh, no,
OK, I've got to just...

"Let me put a cap on it right now".

And the universe is going,
"Are you joking me?

"This feeling can't be topped",

and then when it did get topped,
I was a bit like,
"Are you joking me?"

Jesus Christ, would you hurry up?

People have got homes to go to.

Some people may believe
that because we haven't argued

initially from the start
that we didn't know

each other inside out.

I strongly disagree.

But listen, all I care about is
how you feel towards me

and how I feel towards you.

And I see you and I love you.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

I see you. I love you.

I love you. Great. Thanks for that.

Oh, my God.

Recall that bullshit straight away.

Oh, my goodness.

There's so much to break
down in that.

I mean, Brad has said, "I don't care
about what the group thinks",

but that presentation was
for the group.

People don't believe us.

So, who cares?

It's hard to be in that situation.

I love Bradley and that is it.

Come on.

Why are you bothered?

Come on.

Why are you bothered?

I find it interesting that Shona
is choosing to focus in on people

don't believe that we would fall
in love this fast and therefore

they wouldn't think that
we're their favourite couple.

It's like some kind of popularity
contest here.

I've got something to say
to everyone.

Pass us that read love.

Fuck me.

Yes, guys.

Oh, hello.

Can I just say a little something?

I just want you all to know
we don't have to prove

a point to anybody.

All I need to know is that she loves
me, and I love her.

I know sometimes she, maybe, finds
it a little bit difficult

if, you know, people have opinions.

All I care about is your feelings
for me and my feelings for you.

And I don't know if Brad has
actually addressed the fact

that this is affecting Shona.

Hmm?

Oh!

Babe?

Talk to me.

Erm, how optimistic are you about
our future?

If you'd ask me that question
beginning the week, you'd have got

a complete different answer to
today.

I feel like you've compromised well,
this week

and just the little something
I needed.

You've 100% given me this week.

We never started off as friends,
and then we became enemies.

And now we're...

Friends.

..more than friends. OK.

Oh, you kept that one quiet!

Oh. They're more than friends!
Massive progress.

Porscha's really softening to him.

I love this.

Like.

Oh, God! OK.

Laura, does Arthur live up to your
expectations as a partner?

OK, so...

I've said I wanted certain things,
and, erm,

you know, this Chelsea boy
narrative, like, follows around,

so, no, Arthur is not from Chelsea,
but he's got a really good heart

and we're growing together.

Georges,

are you comfortable with the pace
of the physical side

of our relationship?

That's a good one.

Be honest.

Er, no, I'm not,

but there is a big but,

I didn't think I'd feel this way
about you

and I feel comfortable going
at your pace

because I want to make sure
that you're comfortable with me

and that you don't do anything
you regret.

Perfect.

That's perfectly worded. Yeah.

I mean, come on now... Yeah. ..that
was nice. Absolutely. Yes.

That is compromise in action.

What do you need from me
to improve our marriage?

I think the only thing I need from
you is,

because you're very charming and
lovely person,

and everyone can see that here.

I just want that directed at me, as
well.

That's all I want.

I feel like maybe it does stem
from like a little bit of

insecurity from, do you not think?

From my end?

OK.

No? You can say no if not.

I'm not going to interrupt you.

No, no, you can speak.

You know, you can say. Oh, I
understand that. Yeah.

This is tricky because my sense
is that Rozz is misinterpreting

what Thomas is saying.

He's essentially saying, "I'd like
more affection and attention

"from you as you give to other
people".

But she's turned that around
and she said,

"Well, that's because you're
insecure". Yeah.

And as a result, he's feeling
attacked when he's actually

being quite vulnerable.

Do you see us being intimate again?

Erm,

I don't know,

like, I feel like I need to grow
as a person and you need to grow

as a person and I think, for now,
like, we really just need to

concentrate on our friendship and I
don't want to do anything again

until I actually feel... Yeah, I
agree. ..feelings.

I agree.

When I visited Rozz and Thomas,
we really talked about

the importance of staying in the
moment,

the importance of affirming each
other,

and unfortunately, I'm not seeing
any of that happening right here

and I suspect that's one of the
reasons why they continue

to have these issues.

There you go.

Oh, fucking hell.

How good do you think I am
at compromising?

Erm, oh god,

I don't know because since the last
commitment ceremony, I haven't

really seen kind of much change.

I understand that you find the whole
affection side of things

different to me.

So if the question is how good do
I think you are at compromise?

And I haven't seen like a massive
kind of compromise or change,

I don't really know, that's just my
honest answer.

OK.

Oh, this is to both of us.

All right. OK.

Shit!

Oh, no!

Oh, this is gonna fucking ruffle
some feathers, I'm telling you.

OK. Rate the couples around the
table in order of

most to least genuine.

What!

Oh.

Most genuine, I would say,
is Paul and Tasha.

Yep.

Followed by,

I feel, ourselves,

Georges and Peggy.

Three.

Four being

Rozz and Thomas.

I don't want to offend no-one.

Ranking us really low is him saying
like, I don't believe in your love.

How can you rank us after Ross
and Thomas, who are friends?

And I don't want to offend no-one.

It's hard. It goes hard from here.

Brad and Shona and Ella and
Nathaniel.

I feel you're equally as... Really
on par.

Yep.

No, but, listen, listen.

I feel...

Terrance and Porscha have gone
through a lot

and it's like they come
out the other side.

So this question gets asked
to me in two weeks.

this might be a different...
This could be different.

Laura and Arthur.

We haven't actually had a chance
to speak to them and we've not even

had a chance to get to know
how they are as a couple.

I don't want to hurt someone's
feelings.

I mean, you have to choose someone
top, someone bottom, like.

I mean.

I'm assuming that people
don't see the love

that we have for each other.

That's why I'm upset. Yeah, but, who
gives a... Who cares?

Fucking hell.

I mean, what else could I say?

It's brought the entire room to a
standstill

and it's clear that they all care
about where they rank.

Fucking hell!

What the fuck is going on?

Laura, what's wrong?

We haven't had a chance
to get to know you, though.

We want to actually get to know you,
but we haven't actually had a chance

to get to know you because you
haven't

both of you haven't bothered.

Do you know what I mean?

So what do you want?

What?

They don't know Arthur and I.

Give me a fucking chance.

Keep your opinions to yourself.

Have you come to me?

It's a two way street, babe, though,
it is.

You didn't even say hello to me at
the dinner party last week.

Oh, I don't think I can get involved
in it.

I can't be bothered with the drama.

Luke has a lot of opinions.

He called me a gold digger.

He's in the wrong, and I'm not
going to take anyone's shit.

Oh, fucking, here we go.

I wanted to be able to correct
a few things.

The gold digger narrative
is so fucking lazy.

That was disrespectful.

When you sat on the couch
at the ceremony,

what you was asking for was a man
with money who's going to look

after you financially.

You come across that you was gold
digger.

I have never once in my life needed
a man to pay for anything.

It was fucking painful to hear.

I've been used in the past for that.

I actually paid for my last wedding.

So if I'm a gold digger,
I'm definitely doing it wrong.

It's misogynistic, and I just think
that it needs to stop right now.

My opinion on her is not like...
..my opinion.

The only thing that's annoying
for me is because that's generally

the way I feel about Bradley

and the way it's being perceived
is upsetting me because I'm like...

Why would it?

Because you want other people
to validate you.

We don't need validation off other
people.

I just feel like it's hurtful... No,
but listen.

..for people to look at us and think
we're not. Regardless...

Me and Shona are very different.

I feel there's a lot of emotional
immaturity to be upset

with other people's opinions.

If he shook you, that means
you've got insecurities.

That's why now I know that you want
it to be external.

No, I'm saying... Who cares?
Because I don't.

Yeah, but, that...

But why? Ask yourself that question.

It just upset me that, like, I...
Because, we, what?

But all I've done is show love to
you.

So you need it externally?

You need it externally. I don't.

So why don't you let go?

Why are you bothered about other
people's thoughts?

It's about me and you.

Relax. Let it go.

Well, Brad's not showing
any interest, really,

in the impact on Shona. No.

But there's something happening
in Shona where she's triggered

where now she's actually
challenging Brad.

I love you and I... You are
bothered.

It makes me sad that people
can't see that.

Why does it make you sad? Ask
yourself that question.

It's about me and you.

I think I'm getting to that point
with Brad now where

I'm not holding back, like, I do
care what people think.

I will stick up for myself.

I'm drawing the line there.

I want people to look at us. Why?

What about why did you want me?

I know that you.

But then I think.

You want people.

What? Why is it an external
validation all the time?

I don't care that people
don't see our love.

Don't have an emotional attachment
to somebody else.

You need to let it go.

Even if... Shut up. Shut up.

Oh, wow.

Next time...

Welcome to the second Commitment
Ceremony.

..as the experts put marriages
under the microscope...

It's so nice that we feel
comfortable around each other.

--for some, there's cause to
celebrate...

She's got me like, yeah.

Yes. I'm falling in love with Tasha.

CHEERING

..while others...

When I actually get down to it,
I don't know.

..are forced to face uncomfortable
truths.

Brad is using words like I will
allow you and let you.

Absolutely, I feel like that's
what I want to do.

You don't need to allow her to do
anything.

She's your equal.

I don't know you.

I can't do this.

I can't do this.

This is too much.
