NARRATOR: Last night...
Oh, my god. This is so great.
Hello, my husband.
..sparks flew when Mike locked eyes with Heidi...
Oh, that was good!
(SQUEALS)
..while Mark had a tougher time impressing his new wife Ning.
No, that's even worse. Any excuse to touch me.
Jeez.
But he did finally sweep her off her feet.
I'm in this for the right reason and I know he is too.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Tonight, the first wave of honeymoons begins.
I'm so happy right now.
(SQUEALS)
In the quest for a happily ever after...
That feels nice. Does it?
Yeah. ..passions will boil over...
Are you in this for love or are you on it for Instagram?
..as bonds are tested.
Just come to the point a little quicker, that's all.
But when you've only just met...
Look, I'm not your therapist.
This isn't therapy.
..honesty isn't always the smartest choice.
This is how you get to be 44 and single.
(BELLS RING)
It's the morning after two more weddings.
In Byron Bay,
Heidi and Mike are waking up with that just-married glow.
Good morning.
(KISS)
Good morning.
Did you have a good sleep?
I slept like a baby.
How about you?
Yeah, really actually good.
I wake up and I've got a wedding ring on.
Oh, my god. That's right, you're my husband.
HEIDI: Waking up with my husband was so good!
It's just nice to be up in there, like, in his, you know...
under his arm and on his chest.
(SIGHS) (LAUGHS)
I just like being near him or just touching him
and just being around his body, you know, all hot and heavy.
I like how he feels.
Like, I like his skin and, you know, just the hair on his body.
I don't know how I kept my hands off him last night.
Yeah. (LAUGHS)
It was nice to cuddle you last night.
Aw, thanks. Mmm.
Right back at you.
Navigating from this point on, I think it's gonna be pretty easy.
There's not much that would probably stand in our way, I don't think.
We can keep this going as long as we like,
possibly forever.
Hopefully.
She's a keeper.
(LAUGHS) Mmm!
In Melbourne, Ning and Mark are also indulging their appetites.
He's in heaven. Unbelievable.
Next to a beautiful girl...
..and food.
First day as a married couple.
Living the dream.
So, my wedding night...
I think Michael's definitely a gentleman,
apart from one nasty surprise. (LAUGHS)
He turned the light on and he had no pants on.
(BOTH LAUGH)
I was, like, mortified. I'm, like, "Hello!"
I don't wake up to random blokes next to me starkers.
Maybe next time, just pre-warn me, hey?
"I'm gonna be, like, naked."
Not just, like, "Surprise!"
OK. "There's my bits."
Well, there's no more surprise in it anymore
'cause it's already happened.
Well, I don't want that surprise. (BOTH LAUGH)
I'm not ready for that surprise yet. OK.
I probably should've been a bit more respectful last night, I guess,
in the sense that I sleep naked all the time.
I'm actually really looking forward to the honeymoon
and hopefully the physical side grows
when we become a bit more comfortable with each other.
Mmm.
But, yeah, a good night. Mmm.
Yep.
Do you want to do it? No, you do it, Heidi.
OK. Ready?
NARRATOR: Today, our first six couples head off on their honeymoons.
"Today, you're heading off to soak up the sun in the stunning..."
BOTH: Whitsundays!
Whoo-hoo! Oh, I've never been!
Yeah! OK, let's get ready. Let's go.
Yay. Honeymoon. (LAUGHS)
"You're heading off to the bustling city of Bangkok."
I haven't been to Thailand for, like, ten years.
OK. Obviously, that's where I'm from.
Yeah, right. I hope my Thai's not that rusty.
(LAUGHS) Jeez.
"Cameron and Jules, pack your bags, as you're heading off to..."
New Zealand? New Zealand!
I knew it! (BOTH LAUGH)
I'm a bit of a psychic.
Yeah, we're going on our honeymoon today
and we're going to...
Palm Cove. What?
Are you excited? Of course I'm bloody excited.
I get to spend some time with your melon, so, yeah. Eureka.
So we're off to...
Where are we off to? ..Fiji.
Never been to Fiji, so that's exciting. Never been to Fiji.
We're off on our honeymoon to...
New Zealand! Whoo!
I'm gonna see snow for the first time.
Honeymoon... Always.
(LAUGHS)
Oh, gosh. I had one and a half hours sleep.
Dino gave me the aisle seat. Thanks, Dino.
Sorry, I think the camera got lost in your eyes as well.
Oh, my god.
This is a bit flash.
Wowee.
Hairdresser Jules and cricketer Cam
are forming quite the partnership on their New Zealand honeymoon.
Oh, wow!
Oh, look at the rose petals.
They've just put a special show on for us, baby.
Welcome to the honeymoon suite.
This looks so beautiful.
How lovely. And champagne.
Cheers. (LAUGHS) Cheers.
At Jules and Cam's wedding, it was love at first sight.
Holy shit!
Hi. (LAUGHS)
Hello. (LAUGHS)
I'm Cameron. I'm Jules.
Lovely to meet you, Jules. Lovely to meet you.
Obviously, you look stunning. Thanks.
He just had the kindest smile. I'm winning.
I'm definitely winning all round.
It is with much pleasure
that I now pronounce Cameron and Jules as husband and wife.
(GUESTS CHEER) (LAUGHS)
Cameron, you may kiss your bride.
(CHEERING)
All the research and data really points to this being
one of the strongest matches we've ever put together.
CAMERON: We just made something special happen!
How good was it!
Oh, wow.
Oh, it's absolutely breathtaking.
It feels weird to say that. Coming on a honeymoon...
Yeah. Well, that's exactly what this is, I guess.
It is. We're on a honeymoon.
I've had so much fun so far already. Yep.
Everything we've done... Incredible.
JULES: Crazy enough as it is, we are progressing quite quickly.
We instantly feel quite close to each other.
Our relationship has just...
Gone from zero to...
(IMITATES EXPLOSION) (IMITATES EXPLOSION, LAUGHS)
Jules has a serious wow factor.
Like, there's something about her, just her energy and smile, that...
instant connection I'm attracted to.
There's gonna be some laughter,
there's gonna be some moments where we get to know each other.
This is what honeymoons are for. I'm looking forward to it.
(LAUGHS) It's how the locals do it.
(BOTH LAUGH)
Thank you. Thank you.
Have a seat. Oh, my gosh. Thank you so much.
NARRATOR: Across the ocean in Fiji,
Melissa and Dino are starting their day with a beachfront breakfast.
Oh, my gosh. Keep coming at me, sir.
Mmm. It's amazing.
I think I Dino and I are, like... We are quite different.
DINO: I had a dream of Shiva, like, the Indian god,
and, you know, dreams are powerful.
I believe it's all meant to be. It's a path that's written.
Oh, my god. It's eight in the morning.
It's breakfast. Wow. Yep. (LAUGHS)
Oh... (LAUGHS) I...
It's like we're speaking half English, half something else.
We both haven't deciphered what each other's language is.
For Melissa and Dino, it was a chaotic start.
MELISSA: I don't know if I've brought my wedding dress.
Yep.
I have arrived.
No fricken way.
Oh! (LAUGHS)
And while the union started awkwardly...
(CAMERA CLICKS) WOMAN: Yeah, that's great.
(LAUGHS) Don't... Don't.
Hi. How are you going? Melissa.
..Melissa was determined to bridge their differences.
What's your name? Hashu.
Yeah.
Hashu? Oh, Has-HU. Like 'atchoo'!
Like that.
Dino wants to build
a strong spiritual connection with his new bride
and he thinks he's found a way to do it.
In a relationship, it's important to show what I actually value in life,
so we're gonna practise meditation today.
Sit down? Yeah, sit down.
The awareness of the mind is when you've got peace inside you,
things fall into place for you.
OK.
So now we gonna focus on just breathing. Breathe in.
And breathe out.
(LAUGHS)
Sorry, sorry, it's just meant to be through the nose, isn't it?
Yeah, breathe through the nose. What are you saying?
I feel spiritually dumb.
And focusing our thoughts on this flower...
the flower being something beautiful,
appreciation being a symbol of Mother Nature.
But then when we were go... So... But then he was, like...
The mind and awareness, they both are different.
So, awareness...
Your mind is made up of so many different levels...
Just give me...just in one word or one sentence,
tell me what the awareness is. (LAUGHS)
Your awareness is only built with your mindset,
with, like, your ability to control your awareness.
What?
Thanks to this beautiful flower,
Mel does know what, you know, awareness is.
(LAUGHS) What? I still don't know!
I have no idea what the awareness was.
The flower?
I think the awareness was the flower that we first looked at.
Now I'm ready for a sleep.
(BOTH LAUGH)
It wasn't the most natural thing for me to do.
I think that... I'm still kind of conf...
Dino and I are struggling with connection.
But, you know, I want to make this work, so I want to keep trying.
All I wanted was a smile at the end. Yeah.
And you gave that to me, so... Yeah. ..it's all good.
NARRATOR: In Bangkok, Mark is trying to impress his wife Ning
with a lavish breakfast banquet.
Oh! Wow!
Wowee! For us?
Are you hungry? I'm...Henry.
(BOTH LAUGH)
Oh, how much do you want?
Keep going. I'll tell you when.
But as their wedding proved, Ning can be very hard to please.
Oh, dear.
It's been a long day, OK?
Already?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you didn't have to get up at five.
Mmm...
You didn't have to do hair and make-up.
Oh, still had to do my hair.
At least you've got hair, so that's good.
JOHN: For Ning, the theme of abandonment
has occurred multiple times throughout her life.
First, her mum and then the father of her children.
She's now so afraid of being left again
that she's developed strong defence mechanisms.
She has a tendency to put up walls.
Mark is hoping the relationship will heat up now they're in the tropics.
MARK: Really looking forward to this swim today,
especially on this stinking hot day.
The relationship with Ning is a slow burn.
There hasn't been the obvious fireworks yet.
Like, it's only early days.
You know, good.
Like, slow and steady wins the race. Yeah.
NING: Since I've gotten to know Mark,
I think he is a good man.
I think it is hard for Mark.
I... I just feel...
I feel sorry for him because I do build a wall up.
But I think sometimes I just have to let my guard down
and just let it happen and not overthink things.
This is quite romantic, isn't it, just us two in the pool, on our own.
MARK: It was a really romantic environment.
You know, you're in the water, you know,
you're just basically naked
and it was just me and her, alone in the pool.
I feel like I did owe it to Mark to let him know
that I was a little bit interested
and "It's a great honeymoon, babe. Let's have a pash."
Bring it in. Bring it in.
I just thought, "Give it a go and maybe there'll be butterflies
"or maybe there'll be, like, something,
"like, a connection or a spark."
I actually thought, "Oh, wow. This is really good.
"She is attracted to me."
I didn't really enjoy the kiss very much.
Oh, right.
You keep coming back for more.
Are you sort of, like, relieved that you got your pash today?
I feel there's a long way to go because even...
like, even after we had a pash, you just flat out said, "No.
"No more today."
I may have made a mistake.
I tried it out, tested out the waters.
And... Maybe I'm not ready.
Maybe... I don't know, maybe give me a little bit longer.
I don't know. For another pash?
Yeah.
MARK: It's very difficult to interpret Ning's actions
because she's very hot and cold.
Yeah. (SIGHS)
I don't know what more I need to do
in relation to moving forward with this relationship.
(BELLS RING)
NARRATOR: Heidi and Mike are embarking on married life
aboard a luxury yacht in the Whitsunday Islands.
MIKE: Didn't get a lot of sleep last night.
(CLEARS THROAT)
WOMAN: Did you guys have sex?
A gentleman never kisses and tells.
Oh...
I mean, I can't give too much away but I...
OK. I'm getting up too.
But I am wearing full pyjamas.
Full.
Oh, my god. This is so great. Hello!
At Heidi and Mike's wedding, the attraction was obvious.
You're my husband. Uh-huh.
Yeah. (LAUGHS)
MIKE: I think there could be some real potential here.
I'm a big fan of her already.
I'm feeling so relieved.
MAN: Gosh, you guys are so good at this.
I feel like there's something there straight away.
In my tummy, I'm, like, "Whoo!" (LAUGHS)
After you.
Thank you.
Mmm.
OK. Let's get you a jacket. Let's paddle-board.
MIKE: Heidi is very attractive.
We've definitely found some chemistry.
I'll just come up behind you.
Of course you will.
(LAUGHS)
Alright. Excellent!
Like, I'm gonna need you to help me off.
(GRUNTS) (LAUGHS)
Thank you.
(KISS) Mike looks great.
Like, he's in amazing shape.
His body looks ridiculous.
But it's more primal than that.
So, it's like, "Oh, I've got a six-pack. That's great.
"But have you got that?"
And he's got that, so it's good.
I'm just really happy right now, you know.
I think the experts have nailed it.
I can't imagine a better match for me.
(LAUGHS)
HEIDI: We've only had the wedding and that experience is full on,
so it's gonna be interesting to get to know him on my honeymoon,
go and just talk to him about his life and know who he is.
Oh-ho, something smells good, darl.
Maybe this will cheer you up.
NARRATOR: In northern Queensland,
farmer Mick is discovering that new wife Jess isn't a morning person.
I don't know what it is, but I cooked it all.
The only thing that's cooked is your brain, mate.
(BOTH LAUGH)
That's a bit aggressive, isn't it?
Don't wake me up at, like, (BLEEP) 6:00 in the morning!
Hey, I've just woken you up for a cuddle.
Oh, my god.
And he's desperate to rekindle some of that newlywed magic.
At the wedding, Mick was instantly besotted with his new bride.
Heaven to Betsy.
Hi.
Hi. How are you? Good, mate. How are you?
I'm Jess. Mick. How are you?
Lovely to meet you.
How is everyone going?
I'm about as dry as a dead dingo's donger now.
(LAUGHTER) Jessica's everything I asked for.
I don't even know if I asked for all of it, but yeah, she's...
Yeah, good. Good.
Oh... (LAUGHS) Yeah.
That's a good thing, isn't it?
(GUESTS CHEER AND APPLAUD)
You are grumpy this morning, aren't you?
Yes, I am.
(LAUGHS) I'm so tired.
Alright, I'll do my best not to annoy you any further.
The wedding, it was just really good.
You know, there was kissing and cuddling
and, you know, that sort of thing
and from there it's just gone to bloody...
(EXHALES) to nothing.
When we're sort of hanging out, she's always on her phone.
She's on her phone, on her phone.
Oh, it's still recording me. Whoops.
What?
You can tell your old... See? What do you mean?
Well, see, old people hold their camera down like this.
Like how you do. Yeah.
All the young 'uns, like me...
I'm not a young, fit lass like you, darl.
Determined to separate Jess from her social media account,
Mick has planned a day of adventuring.
Absolutely. Can't wait to jump in and wrestle some rapids with you.
What if there's crocs?
I think I was really swept away with the romance of the wedding.
But now I'm on the honeymoon, I'm just...I'm not sure.
Don't, babe.
Oh! (LAUGHS)
It's pissing me off.
JESS: Mick isn't my usual type. He is older than me.
And also, he's really rough around the edges.
(SQUEALS) We're down!
(LAUGHS)
I think I just fell for you.
Oh!
You know, we've just met one another.
I just do sometimes want to say to him, "Back off a bit."
(MAN CALLS OUT)
(SQUEALS)
Yeah, I thought we'd... we'd be progressing a bit further.
But, I mean, we do have a fun relationship
but, you know, I really like her, so I definitely want to, you know,
make it work with her and...
All good?
But she's either 100% or she's zero.
There's no sort of middle ground with her.
I am very nervous she's not genuine.
I'm hoping we'll get through it and, you know, it's just...
just a bump today.
In Fiji, Mel is ready to get down and dirty with her new husband Dino.
DINO: That feels nice.
MEL: Does it? Yeah.
I feel like I might need a bit underneath, like...
He's got some nice legs on him. Well, you know, um...
Put your hands up in the air like you... Whatever.
I'm never the initiator. I kind of don't ask guys out.
I wouldn't initiate the first things in things.
But there is a time
where a girl just needs to be, you know, the dominant one
and this is one of those times.
Put your head up, like, back.
Whoo! Oh, my god.
I'm, like, so exhausted.
(BOTH LAUGH)
You can't come to the hot springs and not, you know,
get a little hot spring, you know, a little hot action or something.
Oooh, you've got a nipple ring. Oh. Yeah.
Do you reckon you're covered? Yeah.
Yeah, I reckon that'll do.
It felt nice to actually get touched by Mel.
Beautiful. Beautiful.
She's pretty much touched every part.
Long strokes, big strokes. Get on me.
Yeah, like...you know, sexy.
On your face? Oooh. Yep.
It was good to have a rubbing partner because, you know,
I've had to be, you know... rubbed myself for, um...
This continually comes out so different
to what it sounds like in my head.
(BLEEP) (LAUGHS)
It's like a spa... It is.
..bath, isn't it? Yeah.
Without the bubbles. Yeah.
I'm not very good at romance. I'm quite... (LAUGHS)
I'm quite awkward when it comes to that sort of stuff.
Plus, I've been single for over eight years.
It's pretty much like I'm a virgin again, yes.
I'm nervous.
Oh, my god.
But you do need to just give it a go and try each other on.
Why not?
(LAUGHS) Oh, Mel.
(LAUGHS) Oh! (LAUGHS)
I don't know, a rush of something came over me
and it was just all on, wasn't it?
That would probably be
our first saucy, racy, sort of getting sexual kisses.
It felt great with Mel taking, you know, over the whole situation
about going in for the pash this time.
Mel was a great kisser.
I think there was definitely something in the water.
Like, I might bottle some and take it home with me, 'cause, yeah...
(LAUGHS) I am feeling fresh and fine!
Coming up...
Wow! How exciting! I know!
..Cyrell and Nic's marriage is off to a flying start.
(CYRELL SCREAMS)
But will Nic's secret steer them off course?
I don't know how she's gonna react. It's pretty daunting.
She's gonna be in shock. It might turn her off, I don't know.
(BELLS RING)
Our first six couples are now off on their honeymoons.
In New Zealand, Cyrell and Nic are getting to know one another
far away from the pressure of friends and family.
Sorry, I have to do it.
(LAUGHS) I'm gonna do it.
Wow! How exciting! I know! (LAUGHS)
I'm so happy right now!
I've never seen snow, so I'm so excited.
Come on.
Go faster, Nic. (LAUGHS)
Yeah, to be here with Cyrell and to experience this,
yeah, it'll be amazing.
She's hot, she's pretty, she's nice, she's funny.
I think we're gonna bounce off each other really well.
At their wedding,
Cyrell and Nic had each other smiling right from the start.
Hi. How are you?
(LAUGHTER)
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too.
I'm shaking. I should probably tell you, when I'm nervous...
Yeah? ..my hands sweat. (LAUGHS)
Yeah, the fact that she was funny and quirky at the ceremony,
yeah, good starter.
Can I have a chat with you outside, man?
But Cyrell's brother confronted Nic.
Why should I give you a chance?
You know, I had a lot going on in my life,
wasn't really ready to settle down...
Yeah, what was the cause of that? I was sick a few years ago.
Sick? Yeah.
So every time you get a flu, you're gonna say,
"You know what, Cyrell, I'm sick. I've gotta go my way now."
No, no, no, no, no. Not like that. Not like that.
So, what is your sickness?
And Nic was forced to reveal a secret.
Four years ago, I had cancer.
I had a form of testicle cancer.
I haven't obviously said anything to Cyrell yet,
so I'd prefer me to talk to her about what I've gone through.
That's between her and I.
Don't be... (SQUEALS)
Turn!
Lean left! Lean left! (SQUEALS)
We're gonna fall!
NIC: We're having fun and it's really good.
We've really been connecting, but I'm waiting to find the right moment
to tell her about what I went through.
(LAUGHS, SQUEALS)
Oh, my god!
(LAUGHS) You shouldn't have done that.
(BOTH LAUGH) Don't!
Ugh!
Call the wam-bulance.
Yeah, I know I have to tell Cyrell about my cancer
but it's not something you just take lightly.
We've got so much to learn about each other first
before I'm just gonna throw that onto her.
I'll always remember today. Like, always. Honestly.
It's pretty cool that I'm spending it all with you.
Aw! (LAUGHS)
That's something I meant to say.
That's something I'm meant to say that's cute.
Good, I'm glad, you know, you're starting to sort of open up a bit
and say some cute things and, you know...
You need to start opening up a bit.
Yeah. It'll come. It'll come.
I notice he doesn't say much. I mean, he's very brief.
I feel like everything's very brief and cut down for me.
It's like he will only let me know
what he wants me to know and no more.
I feel like step-by-step you see me opening up a bit more
but we still haven't gotten like that when it comes to you.
There's a time and a place for everything, so...
You know, obviously you want to be able to trust each other
to open up and tell each other things.
NIC: I want her to ask me questions.
I want her to ask questions every day about me.
But opening up about the cancer is one thing that's massive
and I don't know how she's gonna react.
It's pretty daunting.
So we're not there yet for that point?
I don't think, like...
It's nothing to do with you or anything like that.
Yeah, you've said that, though. Yeah.
It's... Yeah. There's a lot more to tell.
There's some pretty heavy side-effects from the treatment.
She's gonna be in shock.
She's gonna not know how to handle it, how to deal with it.
So, you know, it might turn her off, I don't know.
When the time's right, it'll happen.
OK. Alright?
Alright.
You're killing me with it, but...
(LAUGHS) I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's...
Hello. Oh, Jesus Christ, it's going!
It's going in the bush! Quick, get up there, buddy.
(LAUGHS) Freedom!
Midway through the honeymoon, our couples should be getting closer
and really enjoying each other's company.
Here we go. Here we go.
Mmm... I don't want to kiss the fish.
Oh, my god. That looks so hard. He can't get up.
Oh, my god! (SNORTS)
HEIDI: Do you want to live here?
I do. Forever. OK. Let's do it.
(BOTH SQUEAL)
Doing new activities together
gives them a chance to have fun and to bond.
(BOTH SCREAM)
Oh, my god!
Mmm... Oh, my god.
NING: I feel like I haven't been very nice to Mark,
so I just wanted to do something special for him.
We did a traditional Thai Loi Krathong.
They put these reefs into the water.
If they float together, that means our love will stay together
and if they separate, that means bad luck.
OK. Ready?
MARK: I hope they stay together.
(GASPS) Oh!
Early signs aren't great.
Oh! Oh, look!
That's pretty good. I think we did well.
Yeah, yeah.
The flowers followed the exact same path
that we have done since our marriage.
We separated a little bit, however, we came back together
and hopefully we continue down that same path together
as the flowers did.
Well, that's a positive. I'm pretty happy about that.
NARRATOR: In the Whitsundays,
Heidi and Mike's physical attraction continues to grow.
But Heidi wants to know if there's a deeper emotional connection.
Do you want me to do your arms or do you want to do you own?
Everywhere. Oh, god. Of course.
It doesn't matter. That's so good.
Just work the neck a little bit. It's a bit tight.
I'm just putting sunscreen on you. This is not like...
This is not like deep tissue.
He's so beautiful and he's so affectionate.
But I feel like I haven't had a proper time
to get to know him as a whole package.
I want to tell you some things, what I need...
Just tell me.
But I'm afraid that if I do, you'll be, like...you'll be, um...
a bit sensitive or you'll be, like, "Why didn't you just..."
You know what I mean? Like, I want to be able to talk to you more.
What's the problem? OK, so I'm not, like, surface-y.
I'm, like, deep down in the ocean. Do you know what I mean?
Like, deep, deep, deep, deep. Me too.
And, yeah, I just want to touch you all the time and stuff like that
but for me, if I don't feel like the other stuff, the emotional stuff...
Well, let's figure out that other stuff.
Yeah, that's what we're doing. Yeah. OK.
Well, I'll work harder on that.
MIKE: I'm not sure what happened then.
I think Heidi's feeling like I don't want to know about her
or I'm not asking enough questions.
And I thought I was, but I guess not.
She's not happy.
I think that the thing is that men and women do it differently.
We're so different.
And that's why we need to have these conversations,
otherwise it just foils again and...
Do you know what I mean? I don't want to have another boyfriend.
I want you to be my husband.
Like, I really want you to be my husband.
Like, for real.
I feel like we are connected, you know, so much physically
and we are connected emotionally and mentally as well
but enough for him but not enough for me.
I need, like, way more.
I don't want another boyfriend. I don't want that.
I'm willing to work at this... Just...
..'cause normally I'd just be, like...
..don't think too much about it. I'm not thinking.
I just want to tell you.
Thanks.
Do you know what I mean? Uh-huh.
You don't really.
Mmm. Oh, my god.
Deflection!
Oh, I just don't wanna talk about this stuff anymore.
Look, OK, talk to me about anything.
I'll ask you more often if you're happy
and you just do the same with me.
And that's it.
Still to come...
Look, I'm not your therapist.
..Heidi sits Mike down for a real talk.
Can we stop talking about this now? I'm sorry that I cut you off.
But Mike's honesty isn't always the best policy in paradise.
I don't even want him to touch me.
If we weren't on an island, I would run.
This is how you get to be 44 and single.
(BELLS RING)
Sportsman Cam wants a partner
who shares his love of adventure and the great outdoors...
You're in the front, honey. I'm in control today.
..so he's arranged a kayaking trip for city girl Jules.
Oooh, slush! Are you alright?
Yep. Argh...
It's not something I would choose to do on a honeymoon,
go, "Oh, let's go kayaking. Whoo-hoo." (LAUGHS)
Oh, it's so sludgy.
Oh, my bum! Oh!
Oh, I'm wet already! Already?
Even the first entrance into the water was a tricky one.
She was soaked straight away.
There was panicking signs from the get-go.
I'm sitting in, like, a puddle of brown water.
If I fall in, like, I will lose the plot.
This kind of freaks me out a bit, this waterfall.
It's not gonna, like, suck us under or anything, is it?
Yeah, I think we go straight through it
and on the other end is like an oasis that we've never seen before.
Are you serious? Yeah.
We actually go through it? Yeah.
Are you lying?
No, look, there's parts that you go through.
Oh, babe, I don't know if I can do that.
OK. Right. Right.
(SQUEALS) Into the mixer!
When we approached the waterfall, I could feel, like, the water,
like, stabbing me in the face 'cause it was so windy and cold.
Cam, come on! (SCREAMS)
We just went under and then I had the kayak on top of my head.
Panicked a little bit. Like, we were deep there.
The canoe fell on her head.
It was freezing and I was screaming for dear life.
Oh! Oh! Argh!
We just got thrown around like a washing machine at one stage.
It scared the life out of me.
(STRAINS)
I felt safe with Cam. I knew he'd look after me.
Like, as soon as I went under, like, he was there
to help get the boat off my head.
He's a protector and I love that about him.
You did amazing. (LAUGHS)
Should we try again? Let's do it.
I really want to get in now. (LAUGHS)
Like, I'm in.
We just said to each other, like, "Let's do this.
"Like, we're not stopping until we get it done right."
Wave, go away! We're going for it!
Yes! Look at him!
Look at her go! We're going for it!
(BOTH EXCLAIM)
And then we actually, like, crawled into the waterfall.
Yes! (LAUGHS)
It was just awesome.
I never thought I would be inside a waterfall but I am.
(LAUGHS)
(SQUEALS, LAUGHS) With my husband.
Oh!
I think we've just realised that we are a pretty special team.
We can do anything.
We did every bit of it! So proud of you, baby!
Thank you.
I feel like, with him, we can do anything together.
He's definitely someone I can see myself with forever.
But there's certain things I want to tell Cam.
I definitely want to have children
and fingers crossed that he wants what I want out of this marriage.
If not, like, it's a game-changer, isn't it?
Ding-dong! What? What's happening?
What is that? Oh, my Mary Poppins.
I'm gonna give my wife a treat.
(LAUGHS) Alright.
Yeah, I gave her a strip act.
No, don't, don't, don't!
Oh, my Mary...
Oh, my god. Oh!
Physical intimacy is critical in any relationship.
You're a good kisser, you know that?
Oh, thanks. So are you. (BOTH LAUGH)
But everyone moves at a different pace.
(POP!) Oh, gee!
(BOTH LAUGH)
So it's vital our couples don't rush things.
(LAUGHS) I can't!
There was legs, there was torso,
there was, like, you know, six-packs...
Oh! (GLASS SMASHES)
(LAUGHS)
Whoa.
They also have to be open to intimacy.
What? What are you doing? Don't fall.
If they can't do that, their relationships won't move forward.
Yeah, I'll call.
NARRATOR: Heidi and Mike's marriage continues to sizzle.
But Heidi wants their relationship to go beyond the physical,
so she's decided it's time to open up about her past.
I feel like I was born strong.
Like, I moved out of home when I was still in high school and stuff
and lived by myself and...
How does that work?
Well, first, I had to go live in foster care
but there was no room for me.
There was, like, no room...
I just felt like there was no room for me ever, wherever, in the world.
I've got government housing and then lived by myself.
You lived in government housing? Yeah.
Just a one-bedroom government... A little unit.
And so, that's when I'd ride my bike to school
and then I'd ride to work after school.
And then I'd work and then ride home at, like, 10:00 at night.
MIKE: Honestly, I just lose focus after a while.
But I never felt scared. I just felt strong.
I guess I couldn't feel scared, you know what I mean?
I guess, like, all the...
You just kind of can be the victim or you can be the survivor
and I was just, like, "No, this is great..."
MIKE: It's just me.
I switch off when a person just keeps talking about the same thing
from every angle
and I feel like I've got the point
and we're going back over the same story.
When I look back at it, I think of it more of a blessing
because I just learnt to look after myself from such a young age...
Not to say that I don't respect what she's talking about
but I've kind of already got it.
I don't know, I just stop listening. I want to listen but I can't.
Because of that, I've never kind of really relaxed into something,
like, really...
Well, it's different now, so... But is it?
Because, like, it's hard to know, do you know what I mean?
It's hard for me to go there.
Yeah. I so want to.
How hot is it today?
I'm feeling like, "What the hell just happened?"
Find a conclusion at some point.
Like... I'm loving this, but you've gotta let me in as well.
(SIGHS)
I just thought, like, up until, like...
Like, I thought...
I was feeling so good today.
I just... I'm sorry that I cut you off but...
(CLEARS THROAT)
At the start of your conversation, you were coming to a point
but you just never quite got there.
And I want to listen, I really do,
but I feel like I just want you to come back to that point
and just shorten these points out, that's all,
'cause it just looks like you're ranting at me.
Wow.
It's like (BLEEP) two minutes, literally.
Look, I'm not your therapist. This isn't therapy.
You're just telling me.
You know, I can't listen any more than a couple of minutes at a time.
Mike, you are such a (BLEEP) hypocrite!
Like, my god!
Yeah, but the things I'm saying... My points are...
Oh, the things you say are quality. Yep. They're quality.
You just went on a rant and I had to stop you.
Can we just stop talking about this now?
OK.
(BLEEP)
(SIGHS)
If we weren't on an island, I would run.
I'm telling you that right now.
(SIGHS) Really? Yep.
Wouldn't you rather a guy that was honest with you and just said,
"You know what, that's not gonna work for me"?
(SIGHS)
I just want to be around him, always.
I just want to be near his body and now I'm, like, "Get away from me."
I don't even want him to touch me.
I might have screwed it up.
But this is how you get to be 44 and single.
You screw it up a lot.
(BELLS RING)
NARRATOR: On the Whitsundays, Heidi is re-evaluating her marriage
after Mike shut her down
while she was trying to connect with him on a deeper level.
HEIDI: I don't want to be near him.
I just want to be by myself all afternoon.
I'm, like, "Nup. I don't want to talk about it."
I just need time to calm down 'cause otherwise I'll get angry.
I wanted to give everything to this.
I wanted to, like, see what this could become and I was so excited.
I've been so excited, you know,
to keep working at this and keep playing with it.
And now I feel like... I feel... I feel just hurt.
MIKE: Heidi's a little bit despondent right now.
She's not giving me much, so I think I've got a lot of...
I've got a bit of work to do now.
The dinner tonight is really important.
I don't want to have to harp on this thing too much.
I hopefully can just explain myself quickly, make an apology
and we can just get on with it.
(SIGHS)
What?
Oh.
At all?
OK. Huh.
The silent treatment is the worst kind of treatment.
I'm not a fan of silent treatment.
And I realise that I might have made a huge mistake
that is gonna take a lot of fixing.
I think we're gonna need...
I'm gonna need to say something to her.
Oh, look, let me just go down and talk to her for a minute
and hear it for myself.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Hey.
You're not coming up?
Let me explain myself, though.
Just one time.
Is that it, then? We're done?
I don't expect you to come to dinner, but at least hear me out.
(SIGHS) You know, I was just impatient, I suppose.
You were. Yeah. I was impatient. Yeah.
And I was, like, "That's really hard for me to talk about."
That's, like, the hardest thing in my life to talk about.
The hardest. I guess I just...
I wanted to go swimming. I was so hot.
I don't know.
I'm just stunned a little bit
that we're making a huge thing out of this.
How many hours has it been? Like, three hours?
How long do you need?
I don't know. Alright.
Is that a picnic?
NARRATOR: Mel and Dino are drawing closer physically...
Oh, my god.
..but they have yet to build a strong emotional connection.
Cheers to this beautiful evening of serenity
and getting to know each other too.
Yeah.
When was the last time you were in a relationship?
Eight or nine years ago. Eight or nine years ago? Wow.
Yeah. OK.
You know, I've had, like, good relationships
but none of them were ever kind of, you know, right.
I never felt secure in any of them. Yeah.
And I never felt like I could be me.
I have never been secure
in the fact that they love me as much as I love them
or I can trust them and, like, trust the relationship.
Last time I was in a relationship
was actually back in February, March.
I proposed to her and we had this big, massive argument
on how the engagement ring should look.
Like, 'cause I gave that engagement ring with my heart
and when she said to me, you know, "Change it..."
So, but she said yes to marrying you
but no, she didn't really like that ring, could we get another one?
Yeah. Is that OK?
Yeah? Is that kind of what happened? Yeah.
So, was it literally just about the ring?
Like, everything else was fine
but the ring actually meant something to me as well.
Um, OK, so you've been engaged? Yeah.
So, if I don't like something, is that then...
is that gonna anger him so much that, you know, he up and leaves?
I don't really understand it.
I'd rather be upfront and honest here and lay it on the table.
This was my past.
Today, who I am, it's a different thing.
Right.
It just seems a bit to me, though, if that is your reaction over
because I didn't like a ring that you liked for my engagement ring,
that is something that would make me not feel like
you're someone that you could be secure with.
Does that make sense? Yeah.
OK.
I mean, I change my mind every second.
I might buy something and then decide I don't like it.
I mean, is that gonna be a problem?
Like, it just doesn't make sense to me.
(BELLS RING)
Oh, I'm bloody freezing still. (LAUGHS)
Jules is smitten with her cricketer husband Cam
but there's one question she needs answered
before she's ready to declare.
We're about to have a beautiful lunch
in this great restaurant on the water
but it's got to that point in our relationship...
It is a little soon to have this conversation
but we've just got married
and I'm really keen to start a family.
Cheers to another fantastic lunch.
And a brilliant day.
Mmm. Mmm.
This is my one deal-breaker that I have.
I kind of need to know.
You know, I don't want to invest time in something
that then in 12 months time he turns around and goes,
"No, it's not for me. Like, I don't want to have children."
Tell me about your coaching and what you do with the kids.
It's amazing.
Like, I love it 'cause I work with kids that are from,
you know, three, four years of age...
Wow. ..which is really lovely.
And I just love it.
I'm a bit nervous about it because I don't want to scare him off.
At the same time, like, it's a very natural instinct for me
to want to have a child, you know,
and guys are, you know, sometimes programmed different to that.
Yeah.
Do you think, like, doing that, like, with these kids
has made you think about wanting to be a parent one day yourself?
Sometimes in my life, I think,
"Is that actually... Is that for me?"
There you go. Do you think it is?
'Cause I think you kind of know if you want it or not.
Um...
Yeah. I'd certainly love to. For sure.
Have children? Yeah. Yep.
It's a big one.
I don't want to... I don't want to, like...put pressure on...
I just wanted you to know, like, that's...
that's really important to me,
that I'm with someone who wants to have a family.
I think you've seen that I... that I do.
They are so important to me.
I was hoping that you... (LAUGHS) that you did.
I thought you did, but, you know, we haven't spoken about it, so...
It's not the usual conversation you have with someone you've just met,
but I just thought, like, you know, we're here, we're in deep.
May as well just, you know... It's just me.
That's important to me too.
Yeah. It really is.
I'm sorry to have this conversation so early on.
No, it's OK.
He always says the right thing to make me feel better
in a really hard place
and I just feel like I'm the luckiest girl in the world.
Like, he's all I could ask for.
Honestly... Thank you.
..just know, in a couple of days,
like, you've brought that much joy to my life already.
Imagine what you can do to a little family.
Aw. You'd be the absolute best mother.
You're incredible.
Day by day with Jules just continues to get better
and it's been smooth sailing and I've loved every bit of it.
With that, jeez, I can see days, weeks, months,
possibly years in the future with Jules.
I feel like I could absolutely fall in love with Cam.
I do.
Like, I know that's mental but I do feel like,
you know, that he could be the one.
(LAUGHS) That's the craziest thing I've ever said.
But I do feel like he could be the one.
JESS: Wow. Don't you look bloody smashing!
Thank you. Are you wearing the same shirt you wore today?
No. Actually, yeah. Probably. Yeah.
I think you are. I think it is, yeah.
After a rocky rafting adventure,
Mick feels he doesn't have much in common with his new wife,
who seems more interested in building her social media profile
than building their relationship.
MICK: When we're sort of hanging out,
she's always on her phone.
Oh, it's still recording me. Whoops.
I don't know where I bloody stand with Jess.
My gut is telling me she's not genuine.
The whole, you know, 'in it just for the fame' thing,
like, I've caught that vibe, you know, a couple of times.
Hi.
Oooh!
Thank you. You're welcome.
Look at those. I'm just gonna set this over here.
JOHN: The honeymoon box questions are really important.
Our couples have only had a very short period of time
to get to know each other.
So, yeah, at the moment... Oooh...
Sorry, my boob was hanging out.
So, for grooms like Mick, who find it quite hard
to bring up serious issues in general conversation,
this is a great way to get their big questions answered.
OK.
"What were your first impressions when you first laid eyes on me?"
First impressions...
Heaven to Betsy, straight up.
Really? Beautiful. Yeah.
You know, I dig you.
I try to show you, you know, just in my actions and that
that, you know, I'm into you.
What about you, darl? Yeah, you are physically...
yeah, not really generally what I'd to go for
but you do have aspects of what I would be attracted to.
Free question. Ask me anything you want.
Yeah, I don't wanna bloody bring that up there,
but I just had to ask the question because, like, you know,
it's just been sort of playing on me mind.
Alright. My question.
Are you... Hang on.
OK. I have enough liquid courage now. Go.
Righto. I'm all yours, baby.
Are you really in this for love or are you on it for Instagram likes?
Because you're on Instagram all the time.
The fact that you think that I'm here just for Instagram
is really sad.
I just wanted to know.
That's just stupid. That was a stupid question.
Ugh!
I just think it's...
It's just really upset me and I've walked off because he...
The one question he asks me, it's that and it's stupid.
Like, are you (BLEEP) serious?
Jesus Christ.
(BELLS RING)
Dinner has taken a turn for Jess and Mick
after Mick questioned if she was only in the experiment
for Instagram likes.
Like, are you (BLEEP) serious?
He's disgusting.
I've calmed down now, so I can walk back, actually.
(SIGHS)
Are you OK?
I shouldn't have just yelled at you and screamed
the way that I just did.
But I just think that's a really shit thing to have said to me.
(EXHALES)
I'm gonna order something to eat.
Yes, thank you.
Can I please have the braised beef cheeks
and can I have the wine matched with it also?
Yeah, she seemed to calm down pretty quick.
Thank you, honey. Thank you.
Oh, look, she's probably right to be upset at the question.
But I just had to ask because, like, you know, I'm here to find someone.
I want to get inside her head.
Yeah, I do feel we'll get through this little bump.
I'm in it for her and, you know,
I'll be around for a while yet, hopefully.
After bailing on dinner the previous night,
Heidi has woken up in a forgiving mood.
HEIDI: Today, I feel more level-headed.
I feel calmer.
I feel more, "OK, it's time to move on."
Mike hurt me but I didn't want to just throw everything away,
you know what I mean, for that.
I feel like we're better today.
Do you? Yeah.
I don't know, new day, fresh day. Feels good.
So, starting from scratch? Yeah.
I think you're right - we'll get to know each other better.
I want to get to know you.
I don't know anything about you.
Same with you. I don't know.
I just know how you kiss and a few other little things.
I hope in our relationship he can be a little bit more present with me
and we can communicate better.
I'm really glad we're chatting like this, you know, I really am,
'cause I was a bit concerned last night that...
Same. I didn't know how we were gonna come back from the brink.
I think we've got hope.
It's really just a case of being a bit contrite.
You know, I made a mistake and I've worn that and she knows that,
so I think we'll be on the mend soon enough.
I don't want to keep going over it and rehashing it.
Cool. I feel like, let's just move on.
Good call.
It's the last night of Cyrell and Nic's New Zealand honeymoon
and Nic is finally ready to open up
about the trauma that changed his life.
NIC: Trying to be romantic.
Trying to do something sweet for Cyrell.
Ready to talk about what I've been through.
And, yeah, I'm definitely nervous.
Yeah, it's not something you just go and tell people, you know.
If it turns her off, then we weren't meant to be
because, yeah, I wouldn't want her in my life anyway
if she wasn't respecting what I've been through.
Do you have a blindfold on? I don't have a blindfold.
I've been sitting downstairs and I'm just thinking, "What's he up to?"
You know, he was a good hour and a half...
I've been waiting, so I'm kind of worried.
Oh... (LAUGHS) This is pretty!
I hope you like it. I went to a lot of effort.
No guy's ever done this for me, so of course I like it.
I'm off to a good start, then, aren't I?
Yeah, it's nice.
You're getting upset? No, it's so sweet!
(LAUGHS) Honestly, did you organise this?
Honestly, I did, yeah. Did you?
Yes!
It's alright. It's beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you so much. You deserve it. Don't cry.
(LAUGHS) Just be happy. Just be happy.
It's good.
They're happy tears, right? They're happy tears.
They're happy tears.
I just wanted to show you that I care about you.
Yeah.
Yeah, I just wanted to bring you here to talk to you
and maybe try and open up a bit more.
Yeah, so... Yeah?
I'd like that.
I feel like that would be a lot of weight lifted off our shoulders.
Because he hasn't been so open and so true with himself,
I'm hesitating as well.
Four years ago, finished a game of soccer and was laying in bed
and had a real sore tummy, like a stitch, so I rang up my doctor.
Two weeks went with all my scans, my blood tests and all that.
Finally, the surgeon called me up and said,
"Can we make an appointment for this date
"and can you bring your parents along?"
Yeah.
And, yeah, found out that... (HALF-LAUGHS) at 24, I had cancer.
(CRIES, COUGHS) (BLEEP) So...
And, yeah, it was just a real shit time in my life.
Yeah, it was...
Yeah, it was just shit and like I said, I don't wish it upon anyone.
I wasn't expecting that. And I'm so sorry. (CRIES)
I feel for him 'cause I didn't know that.
You just sit there and you think, someone's, like...
They don't have any issues, you know, there's no problems.
And I'm not saying he's got to...
But I didn't know that that was the situation.
I think so much more of you, with you having gone through that.
Honestly, I really do.
You know, I might not know every single thing
but I feel like I know the most important things
that's happened in your life.
Yeah.
Well, um...
Hmm. There's more.
There's more?
There's more.
(BELLS RING)
Yeah, found out that... (HALF-LAUGHS) at 24, I had cancer.
And, yeah, it was just a real shit time in my life.
I feel like I know the most important thing
that's happened in your life.
Hmm. There's more.
There's more? There's more.
NIC: I don't know how she's gonna react.
She's not gonna know how to handle it, how to deal with it,
so it's really daunting.
Finally, you know, finished chemo. Cancer-free.
It was such a good feeling. Yeah.
But there was a few side-effects from the surgery.
This is a pretty full-on.
This is the bit you're gonna be taken aback... It's a bit weird.
Like, it's a bit of a weird sort of situation.
It's hard to say this, but...
So, when I had the surgery,
they severed a nerve that prevents me from ejaculating.
So, yeah, pretty full-on. It's a really awkward...
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
I'm sorry. Explain everything again.
I still orgasm, yeah, but nothing comes out,
so it sort of goes into my stomach.
Pretty awkward. Pretty...
It's something I don't talk about ever.
So...
She got a bit stand-offish
when she found out about the ejaculation thing.
I think first thing that comes to anyone's mind is, like,
"Well, that means no kids. That means, you know, no family.
"That means..."
You know, that's a massive spanner thrown in the works.
So, like, what's the chance of you having a baby?
So...I can still have kids but it's got to be through IVF.
It's just something I've had to deal with,
something I've got to deal with.
Yeah.
I think we've got a lot of... a lot of stuff ahead of us.
Are we gonna have a future together? Like, are we able to have kids?
I don't even know.
Like, at this stage, just to be even talking about kids...
But I kind of need you to know that I do want kids one day, I really do,
especially coming from a big family.
I think you and I have... Me too. Don't worry.
..spoken about it a bit.
But it doesn't mean I don't like you anymore. I really do.
And if we get to that stage where I do, you know, find myself...
that I'm head over heels in love with you,
then we'll find a way.
It will take me some time, you know, to adjust to this.
It's a heavy-duty thing he's thrown at me.
But it doesn't mean that I'm not willing to be open-minded
about the whole situation.
Whatever comes our way, we'll figure it out.
Honestly.
Sunday night, Lizzie has stars in her eyes.
Hi. How are you? I'm Sam.
I'm Elizabeth.
He is so beautiful. I find him so attractive.
But she's got a job ahead of her
if she wants to win over her hunky groom.
I've never really dated girls as big as Elizabeth in the past.
Plus...
MAN: I think, for me, the thing that terrifies me the most
is getting my heart broken.
It would destroy me.
..it's the most important match our experts have ever had to make...
I've never been in love.
I don't know what love feels like.
..because Matt has one very big secret.
Something I've never really told anyone is that I'm still a virgin.
