This programme contains
strong language from the start
and strong language

Previously, two new couples
arrived to the most explosive
Dinner Party yet...

What did you call me?
I called you a tramp.

You've been in here five seconds,
and you've already

called me a tramp.
Because you disrespected me again.

..where flirtations between
Ella and JJ...

JJ? Is it reciprocated with Ella?
Ella's my type.

..were brought
to Bianca's attention...

How have you got
a connection with her?

I'm ashamed that I was
anywhere near you!

This is the guy I dealt with, guys,

this is the real Nathanial.
Lies, lies, get out!

..causing Nathanial to end
his marriage...

I'm BLEEP done.

..and call time on the experiment.

I think I've lost myself in
the whole of this storm.

I don't want to be here
any more, I'm gone.

And a rejected apology
from JJ and Ella...

As a girl's girl, I'm sorry.

You're not really a girl's girl
if you go for other people's men.

..wasn't enough to change
the course of the night.

You're a liar, and you're
the biggest prick I've ever met.

I'm sorry I don't know what more
I can say. Oh, BLEEP off.

TEARFULLY: I just wanted
to fall in love.

Tonight...

Welcome, everyone, to your
fourth Commitment Ceremony.

..whilst some couples
celebrate progress...

I love spending time with you,
and I love where this is heading.

You just care for me.

It's like in its most purest form.

..the decline of
two marriages continues.

As soon as I saw JJ,
there was like an attraction.

You've completely humiliated me.

I didn't want that to happen.
I'm sure you didn't.

There is an illicit
relationship happening.

I'm just done at this point.

Shall I make some porridge?
Right now?

I need to eat something substantial.

It's the morning after
the fourth Dinner Party...

Aww, look! That's cute.

..and the new couples are moving
into the apartments...

Springy. For what?

THEY LAUGH

..where they will live together for
the rest of the experiment.

I already feel settled here,

I'm ready for this next chapter.

I'm also ready to unpack,
so can we...?

Yeah, let's get unpacked. Yeah?

But the events of last night are
still on everyone's minds.

I was loving it last night.
I know you were.

I did not want to miss any of it.
You were there for the drams.

I was like, "What is going on?"

Chaos and confusion,
that's the only way to describe it,

absolute chaos and confusion.

I'm not happy,
because I really like Bianca,

and I really care for Nathanial.

And they've both been thrown
under the bus.

JJ had an opportunity to tell
Bianca how he felt yesterday.

Yeah. But, cos he didn't do that,
and then, he comes in like,

"Yeah, I'm sorry, but I've got
a connection with Ella."

And it's like, "Oh, God."

From day one, Ella made it
pretty clear that she was

attracted to Nathaniel. Yeah.

And all she wanted is
some affection from her husband.

And Nathanial
couldn't give her that,

so why not find that
from somebody else?

At least somebody can be
happy from this.

Ella came here for what
we all came here for,

and she hasn't got it
with Nathanial,

but she thinks she could possibly
have it with JJ.

She wants to be happy, and Bianca
and JJ were never going to be. No.

SHE SNIFFLES

How are you feeling
after last night?

I, like, I didn't even want to cry.

Like, I feel like I'm so over it.

Was that all, like, a huge shock
to you at the Dinner Party?

Yeah. So I'm really,
like, confused.

Nathaniel's done. He's left.

He feels absolutely disgusted with
the way that he's been treated.

You and Nathanial were
the injured parties in this.

SHE SOBS
Come here.

It's hard. I know it's only
a short period of time,

but it really drains you,

especially cos I don't really know
where I've stood with JJ.

I've put so much effort in
with someone, and I just feel like

they've just thrown it
back in my face.

It's mad that this is our fourth
Commitment Ceremony.

Today, the couples will decide if
they want to stay in their marriages

or leave the experiment.

But this is the first week where
we've just not had a wobble.

I definitely think having
my parents this week's been great.

It's helped me remember who I am,
and I feel like we're great.

Sometimes you just need
to give each other a chance,

like, you've been paired
for a reason.

How are you feeling about us?

Yes, we plateaued last week,
but we've got stronger again.

I just think this experiment
is so testing.

I feel that sometimes,
I can't always be myself.

Long-time bachelor Georges
entered the experiment

willing to work on himself for love.

I think my problem is,
with not having a filter,

some people don't like that,
including women.

I'm ready to change,
I'm ready to compromise.

But his brash habits failed
to impress his new wife.

We once did squat facing
the other way.

I've got great cheeks.

Would you ever be interested
in letting me rim you?

No. No rim jobs for me, then.

And In-Laws Week raised
some concerns.

I'm saying the words that
she doesn't like,

saying the things
she doesn't want me to say.

There's no physical intimacy,
and you know how much

that means to me. Sure.

I just feel like I compromise
so much more than her.

Yeah, there's heavy
compromise, right. Yeah.

You want a life and soul
of the party,

which I like to think I can be,
and I am.

But sometimes, I have
to really hold my tongue.

I think it's just a maturity thing,
like, just understanding

your audience and tailoring
your language suited to

the audience you're speaking to.

It's general manners not to use
crude language in front of a lady,

that's not changing
who you are as a person.

I don't think many women
find it attractive.

And I know it hasn't been great,
in terms of progressing intimacy.

Yeah. But we've got all the
time in the world,

so we don't need
to rush these things.

I feel like I'm compromising
by not being myself.

And the poor level of intimacy
makes me question,

"Is this for me? Is Peggy for me?"

I think that leaves me with
a tough decision.

Last night was difficult,

I didn't ever expect
to be doing this,

but I've gotta follow my heart.

Ahead of the Commitment Ceremony,
JJ has come to see Ella.

How are you feeling then?

Drained. Yeah.

I just feel tired,
and especially after last night,

I am a bit anxious about
seeing everyone.

I'm dreading the
Commitment Ceremony.

I just don't want
a repeat of last night.

I still think Bianca's got
a lot to say.

I understand she's angry,

but I don't feel like I've done
an awful lot wrong.

I know that she'll probably
go for me again. Yeah.

I'm nervous about seeing Bianca
because I feel for her.

She deserves better, like, she does
deserve better than all of this.

But I also deserve, and I can't
put her needs before mine.

I feel like it's going to be me
and you against everyone.

Whatever happens, at least now
I guess, it's out in the open,

and everyone sort of knows that
we feel like there's a connection.

And maybe we can see what
happens after on the outside,

like, that's what I want to do.

What about you?

There is something there,

and I would be stupid to ignore it
because, even though it's not

been that long, I've had more from
you than I have with Nathanial.

Yeah. I would still like
to get to know you

in or out of this experiment.

Hopefully it will all be worth it.

I hope so.

I'm going to have to face the music,

but anything anyone has
to say now to me is irrelevant,

because I'm doing this for me.

Well, welcome, everyone,
to your fourth Commitment Ceremony -

and, of course,
for our newest couples,

your very first time here
on the couch with us.

Now, you may be aware
that yesterday, Nathaniel made

the decision to not continue
with the experiment.

And he won't be joining us today.

We just want to reassure you
that this is the place to come

for support from not
just each other,

but from us, as well.
And that's what we're here for.

So, I want to encourage you
to be as open and vulnerable

as you can tonight, and give us
the opportunity to support you

through to the next phase of
these relationships.

Having said that,
let's get started.

So, let's welcome...

..Mark and Sean to the couch.

Hey.

Go on, sexies. Go on, boys.

Hello, boys. Hi, yous all right?

Welcome.

THEY LAUGH

How's that for aligned
body language?

Why don't you fill us in
from the beginning?

Sean, how did you feel when you
first clasped eyes on him?

Yeah, good, definitely, that initial
attraction was obviously there.

So, the physical attraction was
there from the first moment?

Yeah, definitely, yeah.
Well, for me it was.

Long pause! Tell us about
that long pause there.

Oh, look at the time - no.

So, it wasn't like
an instant physically, like,

"let me rip his clothes off".

But everything that I do want,
Sean is giving. Yeah.

And we're definitely improving,

we have kisses and cuddles,
and other stuff in bed.

Like, it's definitely past
the friendship.

You said that really quickly.

Just "other stuff in bed."
Yeah, we're past that!

He was hoping you wouldn't hear.

Little things in bed.
A big thing in bed.

Oh, it's a big thing. OK, good.

And talk me through the honeymoon,
how was that for the two of you?

We had one little blip in
the honeymoon, where things got

a heated discussion.

I made a comment, saying
there's going to be ups and downs.

I felt like he was being quite
negative about the situation,

so to me, that's like you're
putting a dampener on it.

I know I can be needy,
but if I don't feel like we're OK,

I feel like he's checked out.

So, there's some fear there
that maybe, Sean might reject you?

Yeah. That's what I'm
worried about.

Sean, what are your thoughts about
hearing Mark say that?

HE SIGHS

I don't want Mark to feel
like I'm ever rejecting him,

I never want to hurt him.

When I said about the ups and downs,
I actually really got Mark's

point of view, because actually,
it was like I was looking for

a negative, but there isn't one.

We're just moving at
the pace we're moving at,

which I just think is
the right thing.

It's sounding like it's going
to be really, really important

to not make assumptions about
what each other might be

thinking or feeling... Yeah.

..but just to really lay it on
the table together,

and I know you can both do that.
Yeah.

We're going to go to a decision.

We're going to go to
you first, Sean.

We're definitely on the same page,

both going the same pace, so...
Lovely.

..my decision is to stay.
Thank you.

APPLAUSE

I really enjoyed getting
to know Sean,

and I can't wait to continue
the journey, so I've put...

..stay. Beautiful.

Well, lots of open conversation,
continue having fun together,

and we cannot wait to see
where you're at next week.

Thank you. Thanks, guys.
Congratulations.

Well done, boys.
Well done, mate. Cheers, boys.

Our next couple on the couch,
Peggy and Georges.

CLAPPING

Welcome back. Thank you.
Thank you very much.

So, it's been In-Laws Week
for the two of you.

Who came to visit?

My sister, Holly,
and my mum, Patricia. OK.

And I had my best man, Cameron.

And how'd it go?

Erm, he just had a little bit of
feedback on what he feels

I may be holding back on,

or a few things that he thinks
I'm compromising on.

And so, specifically, what did
he think you were holding back on?

Because our intimacy
hasn't progressed,

I think it's just hard
for me to understand,

because it's at Peggy's pace,

and this is how Peggy's always done
her sexual experiences

with her partners, whereas
I've done them very differently.

And I know Peggy's said in the past,
"No, no, no, like, I am into you,"

but when you don't get that
kind of physical approval...

It can feel like a rejection. Yeah.

Are you having concerns about
whether Peggy is attracted to you?

When you don't get that kind
of physical approval...

It can feel like a rejection. Yeah.

Are you having concerns about
whether Peggy is attracted to you?

I think in my head sometimes,
it can be a bit of a, you know,

me banging my head on the wall,
just thinking, "What's going on?

"Is there going to be anything?
Is there any physical touch?"

Because we haven't done that,
I feel that I'm not good enough.

What I don't want us to be
is friends that kiss,

because I value Peggy so much,
and I do think, you know, she's...

..my best friend.
We're not friends, babe.

But, Peggy, can you see that
underneath this confident facade,

there is a man here who maybe
has felt a little bit rejected

sexually by you?

Probably because
I move a lot slower,

and the inappropriate
behaviour puts me off.

It makes me take ten steps back.

Right.

I think I'm going on a journey
from spending a large portion

of my life entertaining, being loud,
saying inappropriate words...

Being single. ..yeah, being single.
And now I'm here, I'm thinking,

"Oh, I've actually got to think
about someone else.

"I've actually gotta think
about their feelings."

And I'm trying. I am trying.

But I don't want to feel like
I'm changing you to a person

that I want you to be.

And I want Georges to know
that I will support him,

even if some of the things,
you know, I disagree with,

and I would like to show him that
I'm physically attracted to him.

And I guess this is not about
forcing anything. Yeah.

You have to both be
looking after each other,

both having your needs met.

Yeah, of course, of course.

All right, I think we'll go
to the decision.

Actually, I was feeling like
I wasn't potentially good enough,

and I was really, really
questioning our relationship.

But I think the absolute
world of Peggy.

I've got nothing really else to say,

apart from I've decided I'll stay.

CLAPPING
Thank you. Well done.

Peggy? I feel like every obstacle
that gets in our way,

we overcome them.

So, I would love to stay.

Well done. Thank you, guys.
I'm not saying anything!

Thank you.
Thank you very much, guys.

Thank you, guys.

HE WHISPERS: I'm proud of you.

Next up on the couch,
we have Ros and Thomas.

Hey!

Hello, nice to see the two of you.

I know, I get nervous
coming up here, every time,

I'm like, "Oh, my God!"

You're seated quite closely
to one another.

I know, and I feel like
this week's been great.

I don't know if it's
because I saw Mum and Dad.

I know it's weird,
but I feel like I need that,

like, reassurance and validation.

And do you feel like overall,
it was a positive experience?

Yeah, I feel like it went well.
They were just like,

"Honestly, you looked so petrified
on the wedding day

"that I didn't see you being as
comfortable with each other

"and where you're at now."

So, I'm grateful they came
this week, not two weeks ago.

I think Dad would've been bagging
me up and taking me home.

Yeah, each week now, we are
getting better and better.

And of course, Thomas, you had
Ewan there, your friend.

What feedback did Ewan give you?

He was really positive.

You know, he was saying,
"Tom, you look really happy,"

so it was a case of, yeah,
"You're doing the right thing,

"it's working, keep going."

The relationship, as far as they
see it, is going quite well. Yeah.

How are things in the intimacy
world for the two of you?

Oh, God.

I mean, there has been intimacy,

but it hasn't been...

frequent-frequent,
but it's there.

I just feel like maybe
I'm just a bit more adventurous

with different things
than Thomas maybe is.

So, then, that's why
I'm just like, "Oh," you know,

"I don't want to scare Thomas
with a big box of toys."

LAUGHTER

"Where am I?"
LAUGHTER CONTINUES

Thomas, would she be scaring you
if she came with a big box of toys?

Erm, it's just I've never been that
adventurous in the past,

but it's not something
I'm closed off to.

I'm open to it, but I just
feel like we haven't got

to that discussion yet, and it just
felt more natural not to have

to talk about it
than to talk about it.

I think that's just what we need
maybe moving forward.

Yeah, that's the next step.

Can I just say how lovely it is
to see you two like this? Yes.

Yes! Yes! So lovely, right?
APPLAUSE

Because we all believed in you
when you didn't believe

in yourselves, and look what
happens now, right?

You know what you need to do?

You need to get
this big box of sex toys,

lay 'em out on the table -

and Ros, I know it'll be a big box,
so you gotta lay it on out,

then have a conversation about it.

"What do we do with this?"
Ros will show you.

LAUGHTER

OK, let's move to the decisions.

So, if we can start
with yourself, Ros.

Yeah. I feel like we have had
a great week this week.

I think Mum and Dad, like,
coming really helped me,

like, remember who I am.

And, yeah,
I say yes to the sex toys.

SHE LAUGHS
So I say stay.

If the sex toys are here!

Lovely. And Thomas,
what's your decision?

I feel like this has been
our best week,

and I'm just so happy that
we decided to work on everything

and I'm really excited to
see where it goes.

So, because of that, I've said stay.
Wonderful.

We wish you all the best
for the coming week,

and of course, enjoy the sex toys.

I've gotta go shopping now!
Yep! Oh, my God.

Thank you, guys. Bye, thank you.

Yeah!
CLAPPING

Thank you, guys.

I'm a sex pest - buzz!
THEY LAUGH

Are you scared, Thomas? Very.
LAUGHTER CONTINUES

Next up to the couch,

Matt and Adrienne.

Come on, then.

Well, hi. Welcome, how we doing?
How are you doing?

Lovely to see the two of you
together. So nice to be here.

Are you comfy? I am indeed, yeah.

Gotta make sure
he's comfortable first,

otherwise it's a nightmare.
Because he's so big?

Yeah, literally sharing a bed
with him, I've got this much space.

It's like having a dog in the bed.
I don't even fit in bed!

A Great Dane, perhaps.
Yeah. Yeah!

LAUGHTER

So, tell me, guys, how has married
life been for the two of you?

I'm loving it, yeah, it's...

From the get-go,
it's just been amazing, hasn't it?

Like, the instant connection,
the growing, the learning.

Matt and I have been through a lot.

Matt's dad's had a stroke,
and my mum has MS.

Yeah, I think for us,
when we get to the point where

we're the parent of the parents,
I think that's something

we've had to take on pretty quick.

It's something you don't
really expect, and I think that

instant connection has just
brought us together a lot quicker.

I've never had somebody
that can truly understand.

They don't know what it's like
to be in my shoes.

You know, I'm truly grateful that
Matt and I are matched together.

And I couldn't do this without him.

So, I think it's clear to see
the bond that you have here.

Talk me through the honeymoon,
how was that?

Our first three days were amazing,

we were on cloud nine.

And then, Matt said a few things
that didn't sit right with me.

He didn't know how to deal with
that I was a show-off.

Sorry I feel so bad,
because he is so nice,

and I know that it's not come
from a malicious place.

I'm quite bad at thinking
before I speak,

and sometimes, when I talk, things
come out jumbled up, as well.

I think, for me,
I need to get better at that.

I think what's really great is that
you're having these conversations

quite early on, and you're
resolving them and moving on.

Yeah.

Can I ask, in terms of
physical intimacy,

how's that for the two of you?

Oh, flipping good.

Yeah, really good.
I'm not going to lie to ya.

"Flipping good?" It's flipping good.

I'm thrilled to bits with it,
what about you?

I ain't holding back.

Yeah, we're very compatible in
that department. Yeah.

Excellent.
Let's go to the decisions.

I feel I'm very blessed
to have got this one by my side.

I just hope we keep growing
and keep building.

So, I am going...to stay.

APPLAUSE

Obviously, we have had
ups and downs.

But to me, that's what makes
a strong couple,

is overcoming and realising
the objects that you've got over.

I want us to flourish.

So, for that reason I'm going
to stay. Aww.

APPLAUSE

Adrienne and Matt,
thank you so much.

Good luck with the rest
of your relationship.

Thank you, guys.

CHEERING

Next up is...Ella.

CLAPPING

It takes a lot of strength just
to sit on this couch,

but to do it alone takes even more.

So, we applaud you for that courage.
Thank you.

Where I'd like to begin is that
last week, you and your husband,

Nathaniel, told us how strong
your relationship was.

How did we go from there to here?

I-I don't know.

My head's been all over the place,

and I was trying to make this work
and put effort in.

But when I saw my friend Charlotte,

she made me realise quite
a few things.

So, then, you are saying that
essentially, you had checked out?

It wasn't just a, like,
switch moment.

I think you could tell I really
wanted it to work when Nathaniel,

and I tried so, so hard.

But I just felt like we would
never be more than friends,

and there wasn't
an attraction for him.

So now, I have to move to JJ.

UNDER HER BREATH: Oh, God.
OK. OK.

And I know this is very difficult,

but we were completely blindsided
by seeing what happened

at the Dinner Party. Yeah.

Nathaniel essentially knew
that something was going on

between you and JJ, and that's
why he wanted to bring it

to the table, is that correct?

So, as soon as I saw JJ, I just -

for me, there was like
an attraction.

And obviously, then,
over the last week or so,

I feel like there's been
a growing connection.

It has just happened naturally,
and he makes me smile

and laugh and... Can I just say?

Nathanial told me
that you had been texting JJ.

And then, she bombarded him
with loads of messages.

So, who sent the first text message?

Ella sent the first text to JJ.

OK.

So, she was going for him.

So, who sent the first text message?

Ella sent the first text to JJ.

OK.

So, she was going for him.

So, this is after the big day out?

Yeah. Yeah. OK, so that's when
the first message...

So, I'm curious, at this point, JJ,
have you disclosed to your wife

that you're exchanging
text messages? No. No, OK.

Have you disclosed to your husband
that you're exchanging

text messages? No. No.

So, there is an illicit
relationship happening.

Yes, text messages. OK.

Dickhead.

You should've just told me.
Yeah, but that...

Because the way I found out was
so embarrassing... Yes, and I...

..and disrespectful to me, and
you've completely humiliated me.

I didn't want that to happen.
I'm sure you didn't.

Obviously I didn't want
that to happen.

I didn't ask for it
to come out like that,

it was taken away from me
by Nathanial doing that,

which is fair enough.
But it shouldn't have even got

to that stage, you should've said
as soon as you two felt something

between each other.
Yeah, I completely agree.

Mate, this isn't easy for me.
I've never wanted to once hurt her,

I've never lied to her, I've never
lead her on. Yes, you have!

You've lied to me so many times,
and you sit there and act like

you're innocent, and you're not.

If it's innocent at first,
if you're innocently texting

someone as a friend. I never once...

It wasn't friendly, they admitted
they had a connection!

Yeah, but you still don't know
what it is just from that.

ELLA: Yeah, and I was trying
to shut my feelings down,

I was trying to suppress that,
cos I didn't want this exact

situation to happen.
ERICA: You knew it was a thing.

It was never a thing...

But you said you knew you
had a connection.

There's a spark and something there,

but you don't know what that is.
But that's enough.

We've not kissed, we've not done
anything inappropriate.

It feels like I've killed a family,
like, the way I'm made to feel

right now, I haven't done anything,

we haven't had this seedy
little affair.

I am sorry, Bianca,
but I feel like I'm apologising

for something I can't help.

I will get to know JJ
outside of this.

I want to, and he wants to,
as well.

I was expecting you to be a bit more
sympathetic than what you just were.

I am sorry, I am.

OK.

We appreciate you being here.

Now sadly, because your
marriage has ended,

we will not be asking
for your decision,

and you will be leaving
the process today.

But thank you so much
for your openness,

and we appreciate you, OK?

And we're sorry it hasn't
worked out.

OK?

CLAPPING

Next up, Laura and Arthur.

CLAPPING

Come on up.

Hello. Good seeing you guys.

How we doing today?

Good, yeah, we're good.
Fantastic. Good? Fantastic.

So, I want to get in to
the In-Laws Week, right? Yeah.

Because I think that illuminates
this story between the two of you.

So, we had our friends -
so I had my two bridesmaids and...

I had my best man, Dan.

He was, like, "Arthur I haven't seen
you that happy in a long time."

It just showed me how well
this process,

this experiment worked for us.

So, then, Laura, what did your
besties observe about you?

Arthur got a grilling,
they went into the last few weeks,

you know, some of the things that
you've said that you regret,

and some of the little lies
that you've told. Mm-hm.

And it was important for them
to see that that's where we've been,

but actually, where we are now
is somewhere very different,

and they observed us
being very close,

being very open with each other.

And I've realised that
I'm not feeling like this could come

to a grinding halt at any point.

Maybe this isn't what you're
used to, from your past?

I must admit, I feel like,

if you think you're going
to be left, it's almost

a self-fulfilling prophecy.

And I feel like my last marriage
and my last relationships

have taken bits from me
until I've got nothing left.

And every time I've had to rebuild,
I've become less. Right.

I've learnt to be frightened
of being left.

I put this, like, brave face on...

TEARFULLY: ..but it's to stop
people from seeing

who I really am,

because I don't feel like
I'm good enough.

This is so powerful.

And so, my question, though,

what do you think Arthur
can actually contribute to you?

You just care for me.

It's like in its most purest form,

because he doesn't ask
for anything back.

So, Arthur why do you continue to
show up for her every day?

Because I want to make this work.

There's so much potential in us,

and I know that you've got
a beautiful heart,

and I'll just keep showing up
every single day

until I don't see that any more.

It's so nice to see
the progress that you've both made

and, you know, Laura, I know that
you've been through a lot with men

who have hurt you. Mm.

And it takes a lot for you
to really open up. Yeah.

But what I've seen here is
that Arthur makes you feel safe,

and I think that's really important
in the relationship.

Yeah, and I wasn't willing
to share that with Arthur until -

not like I tested him,
but kind of like, you know,

a little test to see, like,
"Are you going to run?"

More and more, I think you're
beginning to see, OK,

this is a great guy, right?

I love the two of you together.
Yeah.

So, we'll go to the decision.

I want to make this work
as much as I can,

and I've really enjoyed my company.

You enjoyed your company?
No, your company, sorry.

Great! I'm really...
THEY LAUGH

And I do feel like there's
something there,

it's getting more
and more emotional for me.

Which means we're doing
something right.

So, for me...

..it's a stay with a big heart.

CLAPPING

You know, every single day,
Arthur has shown up for me.

And I know that
there's feeling there.

So, it's a stay. Wonderful.

CLAPPING

Thanks, guys. Thanks, guys.
Well done, guys. Thank you.

Next up to the couch,
we have Tasha and Paul.

Yeah! Killin' it. Go on, you two.

So, how's your week been?

I think a lot
has happened this week.

Not like with ourselves,
but like, around us, I think.

So, I understand that you spent
some time with the other brides

and grooms this week.

And I understand that
some arguments maybe happened?

Yeah, so obviously,
it wasn't my best day.

I just felt like I hadn't made
a good connection with Erica,

and there's bad vibes.

So I didn't like that.

I'd heard Erica say a
few things like,

"Ah, they're the strongest couple."

But it wasn't as if
I was saying that to be, like,

putting it in anyone's face.

It was just an observation I made.
Right.

And it was in that conversation
that I first picked up on,

there was a vibe. It was like
the eye-rolling when I was speaking,

and stuff like that, and shit flew
off the handle after that.

When we looked at the Dinner Party,

it felt like there was still
a lot of negative energy

between the two of you.

I think, cos when Tasha came in,

she wasn't in the room even
ten seconds and called me a tramp.

I thought we were a bit more
mature than that, to be honest.

Yeah, but that was just from
a misunderstanding, though,

because she wanted to go in
and try to talk to Erica,

but she thought she got
the cold shoulder.

I just snapped and didn't like...

..being disrespected.

So, for one person, it was like,
"Well you didn't give me a hug."

"Yeah, but you ignored me."

Last time I seen Tasha,
she was getting in my face.

So, that's not someone
I'm going to want to approach.

I'm new here,
I've only just got here, as well.

QUIETLY: We're playing victim now.

I'm not going to come up
to her and be like,

"Oh, my God, hi, how are you?"

After the last thing
she'd said to me.

Of course, Erica, you have
every right to be upset.

I just want to come to you, Paul.

When you listen to this interaction,

how do you feel this has impacted
your relationship with Tasha?

I don't think it really has,
because I know Tasha as a person.

She wouldn't be mean to someone or
say something without reason.

What I saw was there was
a unified approach

between the two of you, when it
came to this situation. Yeah.

It was nice to see that
he has my back,

and it just showed that
he does care,

and he will have me no matter what.
Yeah.

This week, I feel different,
but good different.

I don't know what it is,
but he's doing something to me.

You're falling for me,
that's why. Oh!

THEY LAUGH
Calm down, Paul.

Well, it's nice to see there's some
real growth in this relationship.

Yeah, definitely. Yeah.

Let's go to the decisions.

So, a lot has happened
this week, I think,

outside our relationship.

But I know how I feel about you,
and you know how you feel about me.

So for that reason, stay.

CLAPPING

Thank you, Paul.
I definitely don't think this is

the end of our journey,
so on that note...

..me gona stay. Yes. Yes.
CLAPPING CONTINUES

All the best for
the rest of the week,

just enjoying each other's company.

Thank you. Thank you.
Enjoy. Good luck, guys.

OK, next up, we've got
Erica and Jordan, come on!

Come on up!

Hello. What's up? Hello. Hello.

How you guys doing? Very good.
Good, how are yous? Very good.

Looking good, looking comfy.

Yeah, comfy. Yes, as always.
"Yes, as always." As always.

So, this is, what, full Week 1?

Yeah. Together, living together?
Yeah.

All right, as a married couple?
Yeah.

How, was it?

It was obviously a hard week,
last week, coming into this,

I'd been here a few days,

we're trying to have a relationship

and then, I'm having to
deal with Tasha.

So, it was a lot to deal with
in a week.

So, let's talk about
your relationship,

because I think that's impacted
the two of you, wouldn't you say?

In a good way.
Yeah, I think it's for the better.

OK, how so?

To be honest, it brought us closer,
that whole situation,

because he had my back
through the whole thing,

and, like, every single day,
he was making sure I was OK

and asking how I was,
and I was so grateful for that.

It really seems like Jordan, you
really did say, "You know what?

"I'm going to step up for her,"
right?

And Erica, I would say it almost
seems as if that made you

even more attracted to Jordan.
Oh, yeah, for sure.

It probably gave me a chance
to show how much I do care for her.

It's not just, "Oh, we've got
each other's back,"

and that's bringing us together,
We was already together.

And that's just another factor that
makes us, I think, great. Yeah.

It makes you feel
like you two are great?

Yeah, how I'd describe it is,
like, it's felt really settled,

like we've known each other years

but still with that excitement that
we've only just met each other.

OK. Does that make sense? It does.

All right, let's go to the decision.

Every day that goes by we,
open up to each other more,

we understand each other more,
and we're getting closer.

And the feelings are just
growing everyday,

so obviously I'm going to say stay.

All right. Wonderful.
We like it, we like it!

Erica, what do you have for us?

I just think
I love spending time with you,

and I love where this is heading,

so I'm going to stay.

Aww, beautiful.

Continue to work together,
continue to stay strong together,

but also continue to have a
good time, because it looks like

you guys have a great time together.
Oh, we do.

Good stuff, thank you so much.
Thank you. Well done, guys.

WHISPERS: You OK? Mm-hm.
Yeah? Yeah.

Our next couple on the couch
is Jay and Luke.

Hi. Hello. Hello.
Hello, you gorgeous pair.

Welcome. There we go. Hey.

How's the week been?

We've had a really good week,
haven't we? It's been good.

You've had In-Laws Week,
you've had your loved ones around.

What did you learn?

My sister could see
that I was happy,

but the concern was about
the distance.

She said, "There's not a chance
that you're moving, there's no way."

And Harry said the same to you,
didn't he? Yeah.

And I think I've got this bit of
a barrier, because I'm like,

if I commit to this love -

which I can see on the horizon,

I've got really strong
feelings for Jay -

but realistically,
it's going to be real tough,

with the travel,
after this experiment.

So, would you say you're
holding yourself back

because of the distance?
I feel I probably am.

And you are, too? Yeah.

I don't want all my walls
to be broken down, you know?

And actually fall in love,
and then, is just...

Gone. Yeah.

Here's my concern.

You're focusing very much
on this problem

that's in the future. Yeah.

So much so that you're not
letting yourselves really go

with your feelings in the moment.
Yeah, yeah. 100%.

And to me, it's a little bit
back-to-front,

because when you get to
the end of the experiment,

you won't know if you'll want to
tackle that distance unless

the feelings are there.
I know. Yeah, OK.

So, what if we switch it
around a bit and say,

"That's tomorrow's problem?
"It's a problem, it's there,

"it's on the horizon, we know
we've gotta deal with it,

"but let's just take
the pressure off."

Because my sense is you two have
so much potential here between you,

but you're holding it back
because of this potential problem

that doesn't actually even
exist yet. Yeah. Yeah, very true.

All right, I think we'll go
to the decision.

We've been a team from day one,
and in a team,

there needs two people.

So, I've had to say stay,
because I'm one of the two people.

And Jay?

Yeah, I am really enjoying
my time here with you,

and we're getting stronger
and stronger as we go through this,

so I decided to stay! Fabulous.

CLAPPING

Beautiful stuff, guys.

Well, focus on the present
and have a fabulous week.

Thanks. Thank you so much,
thank you. Thank you.

Our final couple tonight,
Bianca and JJ.

Well, guys, we appreciate it's been
a really tough 24 hours

for the two of you.

And we just want to assure you
that we're here to support you guys.

So obviously, at the Dinner Party,
things became pretty heated.

Now that things are calmer,
and you've got us here with you

what would you like to say
to each other?

I don't really feel like
he ever let me in.

I feel like, even from
the wedding day,

I felt like there was a wall.

And I think he asked for
a different type of person,

but I don't think he actually
wanted a different type.

He still wanted what
he's going back to, which is...

..someone like Ella.

Like, if you knew you were going
to go back to your original type,

then why bother asking for
someone different?

I-I didn't know that.

I didn't know,
I can't help how I feel.

I feel like you're just
thinking with your dick.

No, he isn't.

I've said I'm going to get
to know him outside of this, Bianca.

I don't want to speak to you
right now, cos I feel like...

But you interrupted...
Whatever you've got to say

is irrelevant to me currently.

I'm hurt, clearly,

and I feel like what
you've done's disrespectful.

I just deserve so much fucking
better, and I'm done.

I don't want to speak to you
right now, cos I feel like...

But you interrupted...

Whatever you've got to say
is irrelevant to me currently.

I'm hurt, clearly,

and I feel like what
you've done's disrespectful.

I just deserve so much fucking
better, and I'm done.

Because I would've never done
that to either of you. OK.

We understand that.

From your perspective, Bianca,

do you feel JJ made an effort
with you? No, no.

He's spent half the week away
while we've been here.

He doesn't even know who I am.

I do think I made an effort
on the honeymoon

and when we first got here.

There just wasn't a spark
or connection,

and I can't make one.

So, JJ do you think strong
marriages just happen,

or are they created?

I think they're created,
but I think...

And what are they created with?

Like, time and patience.

But I think there has to be
a spark or something there.

OK, so you said they're created
through time, which you didn't give,

patience, which you didn't give,

and then, you mentioned that there
needs to be "a spark or something".

For me to be invested.
For YOU to be invested.

Now what I think you're really
saying, underneath all the words,

is that physically,
you weren't into Bianca.

And the physicality is
what prevented you

from doing anything else.
HE STAMMERS

And if that's the case,
that's thinking with your dick.

I-I think...
No, no, just one second.

You continue to dig yourself
in this hole by saying,

"Because there was no spark,
we couldn't have anything."

But we have proof
of couples right here -

didn't have the spark, but they
gave the time and the patience.

It-It's not only the spark,
it was the conversation,

the emotional -
it was just not there.

Because of my physical appearance.

Not cos of your
physical appearance...

You literally looked at me
and said mentally,

"Right, OK she's not what I want,"

because what you want is still
something like Ella,

and that's it.
It's OK to admit that.

You never was honest, so you can
understand my anger now.

I understand your anger with
the current situation, of course.

No, I'm angry with you as a person
for what you've done to me.

You literally could've picked up
the phone and been like,

"I'm sorry, this is what's happened,
and I'll explain."

You had that opportunity - and no
offence, Ella, but so did you.

You both know I have a number,

and you both could've picked up
the phone and spoke to me.

I know I fucked up with
the messages and stuff.

I hold my hands up.

I never wanted any of this
to happen like this.

I'm genuinely sorry
that you're hurt,

and that was never my intention.

I just don't believe your apology.

I've got a question for you, JJ.

What is it you're feeling with Ella

that you don't have with Bianca?

So, when I'm in a room with Ella,
or in a situation with Ella,

I gravitate towards her.

There's just something that I feel.

I wanted to try and submerge
them feelings, so I could try.

But in the end, I-I just couldn't.

And Ella, for you, what is it
that you're noticing you feel

when you're with JJ?

He just feels like
the first person I've ever met

that's just taken me for me.

I've never, ever had that before.

He just makes me feel
like just a normal girl.

One of the things we know about
this experiment is

it's completely unpredictable.

And I guess this is one of those
situations that has not worked out,

and it's certainly very sad
for us to watch.

Bianca, do you want to say
anything else to JJ?

I'm just done at this point.

Understood.

But in order to close
things down officially,

we do need your decision

So, Bianca, to you first.

So, I've made my decision,

because, obviously,
of what's happened.

And, yeah, it's a goodbye
and good riddance.

So, it's 100% leave.
OK, thank you.

I've never seen that before.
THEY LAUGH

JJ.

I don't really know what to say,
to be honest,

all I can say is I'm sorry
it didn't work out.

I didn't want it to go like this,
it's not what I came here for,

it's not what I envisioned...

..but leave also.

OK, thank you.

Bianca, JJ, thank you for
being real with us,

and I'm sorry it hasn't worked out.

JJ and Ella, it's clear that
this is a very complex situation.

We can see there's something here,

there's a connection
between the two of you.

And we would suggest that you
explore this relationship

outside of the experiment,

and see if there is genuine
potential here.

OK, thank you. OK. Thank you.

Take your seat. Thank you.

No, it's fine, it's fine.
It's fine, come here.

It's all right.

You've said your bit. Thank you.
You'll find your man. Thank you.

INDISTINCT WHISPERING

I'm angry, confused, annoyed.

And I think I really did
try with him.

But hopefully, I will fall in love
with someone who, you know,

deserves to fall in love
with me, too.

Well done, girl. Thank you.
Well done. Thank you.

No, you can't leave.
ELLA: It's fine.

I've found the most amazing guy,
honestly, it's fine.

In life, some people aren't
compatible and, yeah,

me and Bianca, it just wasn't
the right match, unfortunately.

But me and Ella is.

That was fucking hard.
ELLA: I know.

JJ just makes me feel amazing.

More amazing than any guy's
ever made me feel.

It's a sad situation,
but I am happy,

and I can't wait to get
to know him.

Next time...

Oh, no.

"We want you to list
three things you dislike about

"your husband or wife."

..it's Love-Hate Week.

This is the week that I'll tell
you some home truths, girl.

Go away and shut up.
THEY LAUGH

What draws some couples
closer together...

I couldn't keep my hands off you.
SHE GIGGLES

..pulls others apart.

Like, that's rubbish.

We're not doing that one.

What have you said that you
need to work on?

I've done a lot of fucking work
on myself, trust me.

And a video from Georges' past...

Get it over and done with.

Cos then, we can either move on,
or we go our separate ways.

..sees his marriage plummet
to an all-time low.

I'm out of here.
