This programme contains
strong language and adult themes.

I apologise for how I acted.
Previously...

I don't accept your apology.

..following a dramatic commitment
ceremony...

It has consequences that you can't
ever imagine.

..Jordan refused to join Partner
Swap Week.

I'm not sharing with someone else.

We've gone through a really tough
period.

I don't want to lose myself.

I'm not going to put him
in a position

where he has to feel uncomfortable.

And after hitting their first
bump in the road...

This was the boundary,
and she's crossed it completely.

..Paul and Tasha
called an uneasy truce.

I apologise and tell you now, it's
never going to happen again.

But Mark and Sean's troubles
seemed far from resolved.

I don't know where my head's at.

I don't know what decision I need to
make.

I just feel like you've hit a bump.
Sorry, Mark.

Well, that was BLEEP weird.

Tonight... Yeah!

..it's the penultimate dinner party.

This is the only beef I'm giving
anyone tonight.

Anonymous letters forced the couples
to face uncomfortable truths.

"Laura, you can be patronising
and belittling to Arthur."

You're convincing yourself
that we're having this great time.

But it's not the case.

I feel like we're just going
around in circles.

Erica and Jordan...

I can't be arsed with it, mate.
BLEEP idiot.

..clash over communication.

How am I ever meant to express
to you how I feel

if this is how you BLEEP react?

OK... It's so unfair, Jordan.

Honestly, like. And I'm sick of it.

BLEEP off!

And with his marriage
hanging in the balance...

I don't want to hurt you.

..Sean must make a potentially
devastating decision.

I need to be true to myself
on this one.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Good morning, my darling.

Oh, it was nice to be back
together, wasn't it,

after Partner Swap. I told you I
missed you massively.

After spending Partner Swap
Week apart...

I love how you don't even
kiss me and say good morning.

I kissed you in bed, darling.

..the couples have woken up back
in their own apartments.

How do feel like, you know,
in our bed again?

I kind of missed it. Hmm.

I mean, it still smells like JJ.

I think it's been really good for me
because obviously, like, with Peggy,

I had a lot of time to,
like, reflect on us.

You know what? Me and Adrienne are
good.

We're implementing all the things
we've learned.

And going forward,
we will be very strong.

So, all in all, all good.

I feel like my time with Georges
was reflective in the sense of,

I know that that's what I want
out of a relationship in regards

to having fun, because that's
something that we definitely lack.

Dare you to bang your head.

After striking up a surprising
rapport with Georges

during the partner swap task...

I did not expect us
to have this friendship at all.

It's a breath of fresh air.

..Adrienne's started to doubt her
compatibility with husband Matt...

Do you find that you could be
like that with Matt?

No.

OK. He doesn't give me the energy.

Hi. Hello, gorgeous.

..prompting an awkward discussion
when the pair reunited.

I definitely feel like the past
couple of days with Georges

has been effortless.

I don't feel like we have that fun.

I know what I need to do
going forward to make this work.

Matt tries to convince himself
that things are better

than what they are, without any
effort going in between.

And that's it. And we see
how we get on.

To me, it can't just be great.
It can't just...

..all of a sudden everything's fine.

I think people are going to be
pretty pissed off that we didn't...

..take part in it.

I don't think we have anything
to worry about.

I'm not going to feel left
out or any FOMO from it.

Yeah. I was willing to take
part in the

couple swap, but after hearing
Jordan's reasonings as to why

he didn't want to participate,
I stand by him 100%.

But I do have a little bit
of FOMO.

Everyone's going to have a lot
to talk about, and obviously

we don't have anything to tell.

Do you know how you're feeling?

Is it any better? Um...

Mark and Sean also opted out of
Partner Swap Week, taking time

to reflect on their marriage
separately.

Last night, Sean went out.
I stayed in alone.

The communication right now is zero.

I don't know what's going on.

At last week's commitment
ceremony...

Going through this process,
it's making everything very real.

..Sean expressed doubt
over his feelings for Mark...

Like, I'm petrified of hurting
Mark in this process.

I wish I could just get
out of my own head. I'm in my own

head all the time.

SEAN SOBS

..which has left their marriage
in limbo.

I don't know why my head's at
I am in the...

..process of making a decision
on what I want to do.

I didn't know what Sean was going
to say, but I did not expect this.

You know, it's come as a shock
to me, this week.

We're not in the same rooms.
We're not spending no time together.

We're hardly talking.

Obviously got some big decisions
to make, but let's just try

and enjoy ourselves, eh?

I just need to know what's
happening.

But I want to stay and make
this work.

KNOCKING

What is it? Oh, no. Shit.

Oh, I wasn't expecting this today.

These keep coming way too fast,
by the way.

This week, we've set the couples
a task that will help them

evaluate their own relationships
while also helping the other couples

in the group.

"We'd like you to write a letter
to one of the other couples."

"The couple you'll be writing to..."

Tash and Paul? Mark and Sean.

Erica and Jordan.

The letter will be left anonymous,
which enables the author

to air their opinions in complete
honesty.

The anonymous letters will be read
at this evening's dinner party.

"Since you guys have entered
to the process, you guys

"have progressed very well, but..."

"Your relationship can on occasion
look like two amazing individuals

"as opposed to a couple working as
a team."

This is all well put, but I reckon
some people

are going to be going in harder.

"The way that she deals with things
is like a prepubescent child and not

"like an adult would."

"Do you think you're wasting
each other's time?"

A bit brutal, isn't it?

"Your opinions are welcomed,
but not always necessary."

Yeah. That's good.

I just think that these letters
are really going to put the cat

amongst the pigeons. Hmm.

Right now, I wouldn't say that I'm
100% happy.

Having some time away from Matt has
definitely highlighted

that Matt and I don't have fun,
which is very concerning.

I'm a bit nervous going
into the dinner party tonight.

I feel like we've got the tail end
of what happened with Luke and Jay,

because we've not seen anyone
since.

Then we didn't participate in the
couples swap, and then we've had to

write a letter telling people
what they need to fix

in their relationship. Yeah, I know.
I just feel like it's a lot.

A bit of a tough week.

There's definitely a few things
weighing on my mind.

Feeling very heavy in the air

at the minute. Decision's just got
to be made today.

So, time to face the music.

So, guys, here we are at
the penultimate dinner party.

And of course, this week
has been the partner swaps,

where each couple separates to get
that feedback from someone

outside of their couple.

It's going to be fascinating
to watch.

I can't wait.

Oh, God, the first ones.

Oh, well, should we get a drink,
then? Yeah.

Ros and Thomas. There they are.

They're looking good.

Looking really comfortable
with one another. Right.

And quite a bit of high energy
between them, which is nice.

Oh! Yeah!

Yes.

Oh! We thought we were going to be
first. It came!

No, it didn't come. This was not
what I was going to wear.

Like the shoes, man. Do you like?

Hello, JJ. Hello, darling.

Hello.

Jeez, Louise, look at the body.

Laura and Arthur. Look at these two.
Holding hands, smiling. Yeah.

Well, it looks like they had fun on
Partner Swap. Yes.

How's your week anyway?

I feel like I've had a really
good week.

Yeah. I do worry about the letter,
but I'm all for a bit of advice, me.

I'm worried about what's
written about us. Yeah.

If they go in on me, I'm like, JJ
keeps saying, don't lose your shit.

And I'm like, "I can't promise
anything."

Hi. Hello. Hello.

Hello, hello.

Did you hear that? They said
awkward. Yeah. Yes.

How are we all doing?

This is the first time the group
has seen Erica and Jordan since Jay

and Luke were removed.

Makes sense, why they're not getting
a warm welcome.

Who wants to come and hug me first?

Don't all rush at once. How are you
doing? Good. Yeah?

And of course, it was the right
decision for us to make, to remove

Luke from the process. That needed
to happen.

But it's got to be awkward.
Yeah.

And Erica and Jordan probably know
that not everyone is on their side.

Luke and Jay's situation.
That was stressful. Yeah.

And then Partner Swap Week.

I think I just came at the worst
time for me, and I didn't

want to take part.

And I think I would have struggled
and got down even more

so...not being around Erica.

OK, so it appears that Jordan
and Erica opted out of

the partner swap, which is kind
of understandable.

I mean, Jordan's been very open
with us about his OCD diagnosis,

and we know that the recent events
have been very triggering for him.

He wanted to stay within that safe
environment with Erica.

I don't want you thinking
that the rest of us

have any dislike for you guys.

No. I also don't want you guys
feeling isolated. It's OK, man.

We... Like, you can always come
to me if you need anything.

We can always go to the gym together
or anything like that.

If you want to get a drink,
I'm always here. Yeah.

I appreciate those words.
It means a lot, to be fair.

It's nice just to see that Thomas
has recognised that Jordan

has been isolated.

He's essentially reassuring
Jordan that, you know,

despite you having the conflict
with Luke, we're still here for you.

I feel like this has been really
good fun, like, to just be out

as if you were friends and stuff.

Jordan, at first, like, he couldn't
even get through the letter.

He couldn't even read it.

I was like, I know how he's going
to feel and I don't want to put him

in that position. I don't want to
distress him.

I don't want to, like, add
any more fuel to the fire that's

already like, clearly...

That's a shame, because I feel
like you did miss out.

You're literally bonding with, like,
different people and you feel

like more connected in the group.
So I do feel gutted.

The thing is, once he's got his head
set on something, it's very, very,

very hard to change that.

I think it's good that Jordan knows
himself well enough to know

what triggers him and when he needs
to pull back.

I'm just hopeful that Erica
is OK with not taking part

in that process, though.

Oh, yes!

It's my twin.

God, everyone's stepped up the
outfits.

Husband. Second wife.

How you doing?

I have missed you.

I've missed you.

Those two. I was going to say.

Let's talk about the style
real quick.

They are winning right now. Right?
Tasha and Ella.

Like two gorgeous princesses.

So, you and Paul...

We did have an argument earlier in
the week. Wow, this is big.

This is the first
time they've had a dispute.

I keep forgetting

that he's never had a girlfriend,
never mind a wife.

So he's not even had, like,
arguments with a girl.

I told him, like,
"This...this...this happens."

Now we've put it in the past and
we're really good.

We had dirty, stinking,

sweaty sex and made up.

Make-up sex is the best way
to resolve a relationship issue

and to resolve conflict.

And that's just what I've seen
there on Tasha's face.

Hello!

How are we doing?

Did we get the memo?!

Oh, look, we've got a third
princess in the mix.

We're a fucking girl band.
I know. We actually are.

Everyone grab a microphone.
Let's go.

How are you?

Oh, my goodness. How was the swamp?

Oh, the swamp was unreal.

Me and Georges are literally
like two peas in a pod.

For me, it was, like, quite
good to have a couple of days apart.

And then I think coming
away from it,

it's like reflecting on everything.

And just like the ways things
can be improved on my side, things

can be improved on her side.

With Georges, it was effortless
conversation.

As soon as Georges left,
I felt like I just...

And that's the opposite of
what should be happening.

You've literally hit the nail.

Just taking nice bits away from
it.

Like, obviously we met back
up and we've just been implementing

that now, so it's worked
well for us.

It's difficult because it really
cemented to me that we need to do

something, because I can't keep
going on like this.

Isn't it interesting how you can
have one relationship, but two

very different perspectives
on where your relationship is at?

And that is what I see here
with Matt and Adrienne.

Oooh! Oh!

Hey! Woo-woo!

We're together!

Wow. Peggy and Georges look
like a completely different couple.

Of course, last time we saw them
on the commitment ceremony couch,

Peggy said "leave".

I think that was the motivation
that Georges needed to step

up and become a better man.

Hi.

Oh! Hi.

Sean and Mark. Yeah.
Look at these guys.

They're not even looking
at each other in that entrance.

You all right? Are you OK?

Loving life. "Loving life."

Yeah. Like...a...robot.

Was definitely not connected
to that comment. Yeah.

So, Mark, how are things?

It's been awkward.

It's like he doesn't even
want to be in the room with me.

I'm just like, "Do you want to go
for a walk?"

He's like, "Nah, I'm tired."
"Do you want to talk?"

"No, I'm waiting for a phone call."

And I'm like... There's always
an excuse. Yeah.

Like, I feel really shitty.

Do you still have feelings for him?

It's made me realise that I do.

I'm like, let's just work at it.

How have you been? Are you OK?
Yeah, no, I am, I'm fine.

I've just got a lot of...thinking
still to do.

Today is going to be a helping
thought process.

Well, we remember what happened
at the commitment ceremony.

I mean, Sean really fell apart,
and it was because he's unsure

if he is really there for Mark.

And I think we're seeing
this show up here, where these two

are clearly not a strong couple.

But you can see that Sean
really respects Mark

and he doesn't want to hurt
his feelings.

But I think it is important for him
to be honest and true to himself.

Do you feel like he has communicated
with you about how he feels?

No. Like, this is what I'm saying.
It's come out of the blue.

I feel like it's more...

You didn't come in as... United.
they've been.

..connected today. Hmm. Yeah.

Is it?

I'm not going to push.
No, no, thanks.

Our future lies with Sean.
It's out of my hands.

Like... So, that's what I don't
like.

I just wanted to have a chat
and see, like...

The last commitment ceremony was
very difficult for you guys. Yeah.

And I felt bad for you.

So it could have been such
an opportunity for you guys to come

back into the group and start
getting to know the others

and then getting to know you.

It would have just been nice as well
to have like that little,

like, that little break to then come
back and see how much

we've missed each other
and we've had time to reflect.

But, again, like, I can't
let him feel like that.

Like, it's not... It wouldn't be
fair.

I think this is what's happening
in a lot of relationships,

where you're sort of torn
between supporting your partner,

but kind of owning
what you really want.

And I think this is what we've seen
here with Erica.

The conversation with Laura has now
made her think, "Actually,

"have I missed out on something
here, something really valuable?"

You're taking a lot on,
babe. Do you think?

You're compromising a lot.

You're compromising a lot. Oh!

Jordan has unintentionally put
you in the firing line several times

because of his heated opinions.

Yeah. You know, he has a lot
of them, and I'm worried.

OK. No, I needed to hear that.

Very much so.

I think with this situation,
I've definitely done exactly

what was best for Jordan.

But by doing that, I've completely
been just neglecting myself.

You need to have the confidence
to raise this with him.

Right now, I do have my concerns.

I feel like there's a few things
I need to address with him,

but I don't know
how he's going to react.

Here we go. Ooh la la.

All right, where are we tonight?

In the middle? Who are we opposite,
then?

I don't know. Yeah!

Do you want Prosecco? Yeah.

Would you like it? If you don't want
it?

I'll have it there, and I might eat
it a little bit later.

This is the only beef I'm giving
anyone tonight.

Cheers to Partner Swap Week.
Yeah, we'll cheers to that.

Yeah, partner swapping, guys.

Cheers, guys. Give me some sugar.

So that decision was made by
both of you, basically, that you're

not going to do it?

I said, "If Jordan doesn't want to
do it, I'm not doing it."

I completely understood
where you was coming

from with the points you made.

But at the same time, it seems
like everyone's had a great time

and it's really benefited everyone.

So do you feel like you missed out
on the...? Yeah, I do.

I've got a bit of FOMO.

It's proved that it's actually...
Like, people have enjoyed it.

Yeah. It's giving you a chance
to appreciate and miss each other.

All you guys can see the benefits,
and it might have helped you.

But it might have helped you.

I know me better than anyone here,
and I know how I am, and I feel

like, especially at that time,
it wouldn't have helped me.

It feels like you've seen this task
and you've gone, "This is absolutely

"not for me." Have I not just said
during this conversation

that it can work for everyone?
But I know myself.

I know what I've been through.

Everyone's questioning why
I didn't do it.

It might work for everyone, right?
I'm not everyone.

We're not questioning why you didn't
do it. If you listened to how

I felt and if you took into
consideration my point of view

and how it was going to make
me feel.

But hold on. Why have you not
brought that up before now?

OK. And that's the key point, isn't
it.. Yeah. ..for Jordan?

This is the first time I've spoke
to everyone since.

Of course I'm going to be feeling
a certain kind of way after hearing

how everyone's weeks went.
It makes me feel shit.

I literally... All I've done
is put your feelings

and your distress in front
of myself.

That's all I'm saying I've done. I
just want you to recognise that.

I do recognise that. Do I
not recognise it?

How do I not recognise that?

I think what Erica is struggling
with is the chance is done now.

The opportunity was taken away.
But that's what I'm saying.

So now it's getting
made out that I, like...

I'm controlling Erica,
or I'm making a nuisance.

No-one's saying that. That's what
it's getting made out to be like.

Honestly, how many times...
These are just people's opinions.

You've dealt out a lot over the last
few weeks. No. This is what she's

saying I'm saying. You're getting
defensive. I don't...

This is just me trying to tell you
how I felt.

No, it's how you've said it.

You're saying that I've controlled
you. Did I say that?

Have I once used that fucking
word? Oh!

Honestly. Like, I can't be arsed
with it, mate.

Again, I'm trying to speak about
how I feel...

Honestly, no... ..you walk away.
I'm not allowed to talk about

my fucking feelings. The way you're
talking to me...

Fucking idiot.

Honestly. Like, I can't be
arsed with it, mate.

Again, I'm trying to speak
about how I feel...

Honestly, no... I'm not allowed to
talk about my fucking feelings.

The way you're talking to me...

Fucking idiot.

What the fuck's going on over there?

I have no fucking idea.

All I tried to do in there was tell
you exactly how I felt hearing

everyone else's experience
and how they got on.

It just made me feel a bit shit.

But I am not unhappy that I stuck
by you and made sure you was OK.

That's all I wanted to do.

But did we not come today
together as a team?

It felt like today you abandoned me.

That's what it felt like.
Do not bring that on me.

No, it did. I'm allowed to feel how
I fucking feel.

And am I not allowed...?
Do not invalidate how I feel.

I've not invalidated that. How have
I invalidated that?

You have been allowed to feel...
How have I invalidated that?

I was very, very, very good
with you.

Yeah. Right now, all I needed you
to do in there was be like,

"Look, I'm sorry if I made you
feel like that."

You're acting like all this
time, I only looked after myself.

I never had them feelings
until I spoke to everyone.

That's not my fault either. It feels
like you've taken it out on me.

All they're doing now is
point-scoring.

And the listening has completely
stopped.

So this is going nowhere.

How am I ever meant to express
to you how I feel

if this is how you fucking
react?

It's so unfair, Jordan. Right, OK.

Like, it's impossible to fucking
speak to you. Oh, impossible?

Every time I try and have
a conversation with you and express

how I feel, it never communicates.

OK, so now... OK.
Yeah, yeah.

I am, and I'm sick of it.

So throwing it back in my
face again.

Oh, because you're the fucking
victim. Sorry.

Is he OK?

He can fuck off.

Still could not get through to him.

It was all about how Jordan feels,
and only how Jordan feels.

It's interesting to consider
the role of empathy

in this relationship between Jordan
and Erica.

Erica really leant into the empathy
when she saw that he was

uncomfortable with the partner
swap activity, so I think

he could really take a leaf
out of her book.

Don't do that when I've got a drink
in my hand.

Stupid.

How do you feel about him...

..leaving you by yourself? Yeah?

What's that? Is it...?

MEL LAUGHS

I think I know what...

THEY LAUGH

What...? Is that...? What is that?

Is that...? It's what you think it
is. It's Mr Buzzy.

Oh, wow. Wow.

BUZZING
Oh, my God.

We took Charlene's advice on board
and we introduced sex toys

into our sex lives.

It just happened to be at the dinner
party with a cheeky love egg.

Oh.

BUZZING

We're not getting in the drama
tonight because I think we've got,

you know, more fun things
to be concerned about.

EGG BUZZES

Big Dick Tom is in control tonight.

MORE BUZZING

OK.

Oh, brilliant.

That's really bad.

I'll just have to sit like this.

I'm having a fun time tonight,
so...

I don't know about everyone else.

Maybe they all need an egg in them.

Wow.

Oh, here we go.

Their first letter!

Right, here you go.

"Dear Laura and Arthur,

"Have you really addressed
the concerns in your relationship?

"Here are some things we think
can help.

"Arthur, our advice to you would be
to think before you speak." Hmm.

Amen. Amen!

"Laura, sometimes you can be quite
patronising and belittling

"with your delivery to Arthur.

"Arthur, don't lose yourself
trying to become

"the man you think
Laura wants you to be.

"And Laura, don't lose yourself

"trying to make Arthur the man
you want him to be."

Has anyone asked Arthur
what he wanted in there?

There's all this,

like, pressure on me,

but no one has ever asked Arthur
if I was anything he wanted.

So, Arthur, this is your chance.

Is she what you wanted?

Um, she's a part of it.

What do you mean, a part of it?

Is she perfect? No, she's not.
She's far from it.

Am I perfect?
No, I'm far from it myself.

Oof. Gosh. Wow.

See previous comment re thinking
before you speak.

Yeah, yeah.

Do you want to finish the letter?

"Can you look into each other's eyes
and really see a future together?

"If yes, we're happy for you.

"But if not, then maybe it's time
to question why you're still here."

Fuck me. They went in.

Can you see the future with me?

Oh, that was a loud silence.
We've talked about this.

We know that we want to give it a
go.

Yeah.

But...can you say the same?

Yes.

Is that enough for you?

Yeah, it is, but you're just...

You seem very direct with that...

I'm just direct.
Simple as that. OK.

Are you OK? Course.

As a couple, Laura and Arthur have
received a lot of criticism,

and I think
this is quite a heavy body blow

that they're both receiving tonight.

I think it's really going to lead
to some important moments for them

in terms of discussion
about next steps. Yes.

OK.

"Dear Ros and Thomas,

"It's clear that to make things
work between you two,

"sex is going to be very important.

"Thomas, throw caution to the wind
and embrace the sexy time."

I think he just did.

Yeah.

"Maybe grab a blindfold and let
Ros take control."

Oh, yeah! "One of us thinks

"you need to give a bit of dirty
talk in the bedroom a try."

I like it!

I think Charlene wrote this.

"It is clear you guys are
great together.

"See your frustrations as
opportunities.

"Once you guys conquer them,
you guys will be unstoppable.

"PS, have fun."

A high five and a kiss.
Yeah. That's a win.

That's a team right there.
I'm going to frame that.

Yeah! I'm going to frame it.
That is smashing.

What a transformation from the
beginning,

where we probably thought they were
leaving first week, whereas now,

they're one of the strongest couples
here in the experiment.

It's beautiful to see.

And probably having the best sex.

Tonight!

Like, literally... Right now!
At the table.

OK.

"Dear Erica and Jordan, since
entering the process,

"the pair of you have progressed at
a good pace

"and do present yourselves
as a strong couple.

"However, you do spend the majority
of your time

"focusing on other couples rather
than your own relationship.

"Your opinions are welcomed,
but not always necessary."

SHE WHISPERS:

"We'd like you to interact
with the group more as individuals,

"rather than isolating yourselves
from the village,

"who can be your support system
and safety net through tough times

"in your relationship.

"We wish your marriage the best
times ahead

"and continue to grow as a couple."

I think it's really nice.
I think it's short and sweet.

Arthur's face says otherwise.

There's nothing, there's no
substance in there at all.

We all know how the relationship's
going.

We know a lot about...

Hold on, hold on. Can I just say...
Behind closed doors...

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Can I just stop you there?

You're acting like we're being fake.

I'm not. I didn't say fake.

You have to accept other
people's opinions.

Who said fake?

I think Arthur's quite still annoyed
at his letter. So he's...

He's annoyed at his own.

Calm down, babe. No, I'm pissed off.

I'm raging. I know.

Can you see it? I'll be fine.
I'll be all right.

"Dear Matt and Adrienne,

"recently, your relationship
has encountered some challenges

"and we feel you approach
issues in your relationship

"very differently.

"Due to this, your relationship
can on occasion

"look like two amazing individuals

"as opposed to a couple working as a
team

"to bring the best
out in each other.

"Therefore, we question whether
these fundamental differences

"in personality will prevent your
marriage

"from working in the real world.
Kind regards."

I think personally, like, I think
it's the other way around.

Like, normal day to day situations,

we are great.

And yeah, I think
we are progressing very well

at the moment.

It's just to see what's to come
next.

Like, we can't say we're perfect
at the minute

because we have got some work to do,

but I want to be perfect
in the end, and I think we will be.

Oh, Adrienne does not look happy.

Adrienne? You're quiet.

You're quiet.

Tell us.

What's wrong? It's just
difficult because...

Oh, I just...I'm so drained.

I'm so drained.

Oh, babe, come on.

You're all right.

I feel like we're just going,
especially as a couple,

that we're just going around
in circles

and even listening to you now saying
that, you know,

we're amazing, we're the best,

it's almost as if you're convincing
yourself

that we're having this
great time, but it's not the case.

That's just how I feel.

And I can't sit and lie
about how I feel.

Even listening to you now saying
that, you know, we're amazing,

we're back on top form,
we're the best,

and it's not the case.

That's just how I feel.

And I can't sit and lie
about how I feel.

A relationship's about two
people and two views.

You might have a different view
to what I have one day,

and that's fine.

Sometimes we might just
have to agree to disagree,

and I would rather that than
it get to this,

where we both feel so exhausted.

I do feel like we have been
talking about our differences,

and it's like this is a letter

that's gone off what people
have seen over the last week or so.

And it's like we have only
just finally put things into play.

Have I been making you laugh? I've
tried, yeah? Am I stepping up? Yes.

Right now, this is me at my best.

And this is because everything's
good.

Is it?

Everything's not good, Matt. Yeah.

Unfortunately, he didn't hear
what Adrienne just told all of us.

Not at all! Yeah, and that clearly
is an issue.

It is their inability to express
how they feel emotionally

to each other, is what's
causing this divide.

OK?

That's it.

This relationship won't work.

Not if it keeps going the way
it's going.

It needs to improve.

And I just want him to be more of
a realist in that sense

that that needs to happen.

And then we can say we're great.

Oh, this looks long.

All right.

"Dear Paul and Tasha, aka our power
couple,

"it's clear to all that you have
many positives in your relationship

"that make you a strong couple.

"However, your arguments
are explosive and can be avoided

"if mutual respect is shown
towards each other.

"Tasha, we feel like your attitude
could use some work

"and the way you deal with arguments
could be done more maturely."

Tasha is not going to have that.

Is this smoke
coming out of her ears?

Yeah, I see smoke out of her eyes,
actually, yeah.

"We also question whether it's
because

"Paul needs to be more assertive
in your relationship.

"We feel your communication styles
are very different

"and could cause
further toxicity if not addressed.

"This will be a huge team as we see
a great future for you,

"e.g. house, children,
all four of them."

Who's written this letter?

I'm going to hold my hands up.
We wrote the letter,

or I wrote the letter. Peggy didn't.

Peggy put the positives in.
I was the one who put the negatives.

I feel it's just the way that
sometimes you deal with situations.

I really like Paul.

So my biggest thing is,
I want to look out for him.

I do get the whole attitude thing.

Obviously, this boy asked
for a fiery girl.

He got one.

Just because I may talk
different to a couple of you lot

and I may present myself
a little bit different

doesn't mean I'm being this awful
person.

I'm not a bitch. I am emotional,
I am sensitive,

but I will hold my own.

That's how I've always had to do it.

What about the way she talks to you
sometimes?

At the end of the day,
we still solve it together.

That's how we do it
in a relationship.

If I couldn't communicate,

this relationship would not
be standing right now.

Well, of course, we know this week
that Paul and Tasha had an argument.

You know, this is the first time

they've reached a little bump
in the road.

And isn't it great tonight

to see the two of them showing
up as a team?

They've got each other's back.

They really are responding
in that united front. Yes.

And this is the first time
they've come under fire.

I wonder how they now show
up,

because they know that they have a
bit of a target on their back. Hmm.

Oh, God.

"To Peggy and Georges,

"Georges, you have compromised
when it comes to intimacy.

"Peggy, you have compromised

"when it comes to Georges'
behaviour and content.

"Compromise is key to a
relationship.

"Peggy, you are so nurturing.

"You stand by your husband
through thick and thin,

"the definition of wife."
Thank you, guys.

"Whilst you have every right
to refrain from intimacy,

"how long can someone wait until
they move on

"to someone who can give them
what they need?

"Love always.

"We want you to work
outside of the experiment."

Whether you're intimate or not
doesn't define a relationship.

But, you know, it's not as if I'm
not physically attracted to Georges.

You know, I'm trying to give him
as many compliments as I can

and do
the little things to make him smile.

And he's bought me lingerie now.

Thank you, Adrienne, for the
lingerie.

The choices, the colour are perfect.

Stay in the box for a couple
of weeks, but it's OK.

Georges! Sorry!

I'll have it!

Can we all just give them,
like, a round of applause,

because you are amazing.

I think it's also important to say
here

that there are other ways
of being intimate as well, right,

and so Peggy and Georges

are really physically affectionate
with one another.

They kiss, they cuddle.

There's lots of emotional intimacy
between the two of them.

They're just waiting to have sex.

Is it such a big deal? Right.

And I think Georges has repeatedly
said that he is willing to wait

until she is ready, so he doesn't
have the issue with it.

Other people do. Yes.

Are we ready, guys? Ella and JJ?

"Dear JJ and Ella, from spending
time with you both,

"it's apparent that the vocabulary
Ella uses

"can sometimes make
JJ feel uncomfortable."

Oh, this is the bit I knew was
coming.

Don't get upset.

"In order to help JJ feel
more comfortable, we believe

"you should bring it down a couple
of notches on the sex chat.

"This is because we feel that once
JJ feels more comfortable,

"the sex will naturally happen

"and in turn take away some of your
insecurities.

"JJ, we feel you should be
more forthcoming and vocal

"with your feelings again.

"We believe this will help Ella's
insecurities

"as she will know exactly
how you feel,

"but also how you stand
as a couple.

"We know this hasn't been easy
for you both,

"and we are rooting for you to work

"and also prove everyone with doubts
wrong.

"Lots of love."

How did you feel about that, babe?
I don't know.

I honestly can't be arsed. Why?
I don't want to talk about it.

But Ella, what was really negative?

It's just like the embarrassment,
like, the whole sex thing.

I've been open to certain
people about it.

We haven't had sex, the last one
didn't want to have sex

and I'm not saying you don't want
to, but it's just to the point now

where all that gets mentioned is,
like,

sex and it's just embarrassing.

So when I've been in relationships

that I can see being long-term
things,

I've never slept with that person
straight away

because to me, it's more than that.

And with Ella, I want to make sure
that she knows it's more than that.

Obviously, I'm attracted to you.

I know I should tell
you more how I feel.

I know it's a big thing
for you and you've told me,

but you don't need to feel
embarrassed. I fancy you.

I want this to work more than
anything, so...

OTHERS CHEER

Thank you.

Thank you.

If we think back to the commitment
ceremony,

we had asked JJ to step
up and to affirm Ella more, right?

That's what not only did she want
in this experiment,

but that's what she's been seeking
her entire life.

And he has. And that's something
that he should be applauded for.

But what Ella needs to understand
is, this is a new relationship.

He's a new guy, and he deserves
a chance and benefit of the doubt.

Well done.

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

"Dear Mark and Sean,

"firstly, we want to start off

"by saying how funny, likeable

"and caring you both are.

"We think as individuals,
yous are amazing.

"However...

"Our worry is, you appear
to be just friends,

"and that's not what we are here for
with our partners.

"As a couple, we don't feel
like you are compatible.

"The advice we would give is that
you seriously consider this

"to move forward from the friend
zone.

"If the honest answer is no,

"do you think you're wasting
each other's time?"

"The advice we would give is that
you seriously consider this

"to move forward from the friend
zone.

"If the honest answer is no,

"do you think you're wasting
each other's time?"

Next.

No questions at this time.

We don't need to address that.

You can see the weight on Mark's
shoulders,

because there's the realisation here
that, you know what,

maybe these feelings that Sean
has been fighting

could actually be the case,

and that he doesn't feel the same
way towards Mark.

You know, it was a really
tough letter to read,

because it was true.

It just gives us some clarity
on how I've been thinking.

I'm pretty sure what I'm going to do
now after reading this letter.

Just needs to be done.

Um, let's go for a chat.

Oh, fuck. Fuck.

No.

Where are they going?

Oh.

So...?

Right, um...

I'm...

I need to be true to myself
on this one.

And after that letter as well...

..I don't see this going
any further.

I'm going to leave.

OK. I don't want to do this.

I don't want to hurt you.

The thing is, you keep saying
you don't want to hurt me.

I told you my vows,
you said you'll never hurt me.

What do you think you're doing now?

Well, what am I going to do?

You're hurting me.

A lot.

And I'm, like, convinced that

"Yeah, you know, it's been good.

"He'll stay.

"He'll work at it."

And like, I am... You're not.

I am sorry for that, Mark.
I am sorry for that.

Like, I am sorry for that.

Like... But I've...

So you're saying you're done?

Yeah.

That was one of the most difficult
conversations I think we've seen

so far in the experiment.

I think we have to applaud Sean

that he was finally able to tell
Mark

exactly how he felt.

I think that there's a lesson here

around the importance of having
these kinds of conversations

earlier on in the relationship,
so that people are not blindsided

by situations like this.

Erm...

Yous all know it's been a very tough
week for the pair of us.

I think you's all seen what happened

on the commitment ceremony last
week.

And I'm sorry.

I am sorry that you are
the collateral damage of that.

I love you all.

Yous are fucking amazing people.

But unfortunately, I've made
the decision...

I've made the decision to leave.

I do love yous all.

ARTHUR: Can't wait to see you
again.

ELLA: I do love you so much, by the
way. I tried.

And I want you to think...
I know you tried.

Exactly, babe, you did
everything you could to try.

I'm, like, devastated. I just wish
he would have given us a chance.

I wish he would just give us
a few more days

just to try
and work on things.

Please don't give up.

There is someone else out
there for you.

This has really hurt me.

LAURA: I love you too.

Selfishly, you know, it's a weight
off my shoulders.

I know I made the right decision.

I knew it wasn't going to end well,
but I just hope he's all right.

Next time...

So this is my gaff.

Oh, it's really pretty.

..homestays get under way.
What is that?

Content corner.
Is that where you squatted?

And the couples seek the wisdom
of loved ones?

We haven't had sex.

If you haven't got good sex,
then you're up the creek.

As Erica and Jordan's troubles
continue...

You were dismissing how I actually
felt.

It wasn't dismissing how you felt.

If this is how it's going to be
every single time,

where do you go from there?
This is going nowhere.

..Arthur is reunited with some
less than friendly faces.

From what I can see today, you do
not give a fuck about anybody else

apart from yourself.

I'm not here to impress you.

Do I think you're right for Laura?

No.

I'm finding it incredibly difficult
to defend my husband.
