Previously... Now that it's the moment,
it's making me really nervous.
..newlyweds Martha and Michael made a fairy-tale couple.
Do you like me? I do.
I think I've struck gold.
It certainly wasn't love at first sight
for sharp tongued Ines.
Can we get rid of your eyebrow ring, please?
And the day only went downhill from there.
He used to be a stripper.
I will never get past this.
This is bottom of the barrel.
Tonight... The situation's just shit.
..while jilted bride Elizabeth waits and wonders
what happened to her groom...
Where the hell do I stand in all this?
I just wanted to be the princess for once.
I don't know what's going on.
..the last of our couples set off on honeymoon.
It's so cute, I feel like a mum.
Do you know how to hold a child? Not a clue.
A little bit of me froze watching her walk into the pool.
But it's not all smooth sailing.
When I say don't speak, shut up!
Plus, can Matthew finds the courage...
Yes, I'm so excited.
..to go all the way?
Something I definitely would like to be able to do on the honeymoon.
Whether or not I can is another thing.
How comfortable are you right now?
(TENSE MUSIC)
(GENTLE PIANO MUSIC)
It's the morning after the final two weddings.
I know, it's still on.
Still on.
It's crazy.
And in Melbourne, make-up artist Martha
and PE teacher Michael are loving married life.
Mother and I have got an intimate connection.
You know, shared a few kisses which were fantastic.
I'm hoping to get a lot closer to Martha on the honeymoon,
that's the sure. (CHUCKLES)
It's really nice sharing a bed with you actually.
OK, so Michael is, like, more vain than, like, he likes to portray.
When he gets out of the shower, he wears, like, a beanie
to, like, flatten his hair so it's all smooth
and not a lot of volume.
Like, I love that cause now him and I are going to have
so much in common. (LAUGHS)
But in Byron Bay, the connection hasn't been as instant
for Ines and former stripper Bronson.
I slept alone in my room last night and Bronson slept on the couch.
Alone.
If he wants me to move on from the stripper thing,
he's going to have to show me more of his actual self.
And maybe lose the outfits.
He looks like a Teletubby in his onesie.
You know, the yellow Teletubby? That's what he looks like.
Good morning. Hi, how are you?
Last night's awkwardness, on a scale of one to 10,
I would say maybe a 15.
First impressions are always wrong.
My first impression was that she is a hard nut to crack.
What sort of like activities do you get up to in your spare time?
Circus training. Handstands, acrobatics,
that sort of stuff.
But her first impression of me is that I'm a dirty stripper.
What about yourself?
I like really relaxing things.
I like hanging out with my sisters dog.
I like watching it drink milk.
I'm looking forward to a couple of days
and sitting with Ines and getting to know her one-on-one.
Maybe realise we're not both douchebags.
Bronson will soon get that chance.
Because today the couples find out where they are headed
for the next phase of the experiment.
Bronson and Ines, congratulations on your wedding day.
We hope you enjoyed your first night as newlyweds.
Now it's time to your honeymoon. You are heading
to the romantic winery region of McLaren Vale, South Australia.
Yes! I've never been to South Australia. Very cool!
Today you are heading off to a resort
in the beautiful South Pacific island of Samoa,
make sure you pack your snorkels.
The coconuts, turtles and clear blue water awaits you.
I love snorkelling in beaches. Oh my god, yes!
I feel like it's going to be so beautiful there.
Mm. Hopefully there's a spa.
Yeah.
I would love a spa right now.
You are going to...Port Douglas.
Where is that? Above Cairns.
You like seafood? Um...Yeah, I like seafood.
Yeah.
We could be onto a winner. Yeah, it'll be nice.
Like, to see the shopping malls that they have.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Let's do it. Let's do it.
Yeah.
(LAUGHS)
The newlyweds set off on their honeymoons...
Beautiful.
..to begin their married life together.
I'm super excited for a holiday with this sexy guy.
Oh wow, it's so nice.
This suite is definitely impressive.
Like, I'm not impressed that easily usually.
That looks tasty. (LAUGHS)
Some salami. Mm. Beautiful.
I will, you know, give Port Douglas a chance.
Thank you.
Here's to the honeymoon. Mm.
In McLaren Vale, South Australia, Lauren and Matthew
are looking forward to the first night of their honeymoon.
Wow. So beautiful.
Check this place out. This is like something from a postcard.
I'm excited about being on my honeymoon.
I'm already calling Lauren 'Loz'.
I'm so elegant getting out of the car!
I feel really comfortable around her and Lauren sounds so formal now.
Pretty impressive.
I'm definitely very attracted to Loz.
How cute is that? Yeah.
There's something about her, her presence, her energy,
it just... There's a definite chemistry there.
For Lauren and Matthew, meeting each other at the altar
was a dream come true.
Oh my god, he's so cute, look at him.
Matt, I'm Lauren, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you!
Sparks were flying on their special day...
..and then Matthew dropped a bombshell.
I am actually still a virgin.
Shit. Yeah, yeah.
And you're just going for it now? I might as well.
You are so brave, honestly.
Matt being a virgin... OK, wow.
..doesn't change anything.
I think it just means that he might need me
to sort of take the reins a bit,
and give him that confidence to take the next step.
Oh my god, it's so big. Oh woah.
Wow!
It has a spa!
We're all set.
The honeymoon is a time when the couples may begin
to become more physically intimate with one another.
It's huge, hey? All to ourselves.
Yeah.
As a virgin, it's natural for Matthew to feel anxious
and fearful of the unknown,
but he needs to be careful that his anxiety doesn't take over.
That is what we're going to wake up to.
Oh wow.
The first night of the honeymoon, there's so many expectations
that are racing through my head.
OK, let's test out the bed. (LAUGHS)
It's a tricky one because I'm so completely inexperienced
in relationships, I'm not sure how,
when or in what way to make the move.
How good is this?
All these sort of anxieties are just playing in my head.
I think the chemistry is still there for sure.
It hasn't gone, definitely not, but I just want him to relax,
like, just be comfortable with me,
even just a kiss would be nice.
Here we are. Yeah.
First night of the honeymoon.
There's been a couple of times where I've tried to give him a sign
and he hasn't...read the sign.
There's a nice huge mirror for us to check ourselves out in.
(LAUGHS) In case you wanted to.
I don't know if he just doesn't get it
or if he maybe is not that into me.
I don't know, it's hard to tell.
Are we going to have a spa tonight?
I don't know, looks like it.
I'm a little anxious about the spa bath,
that'll absolutely be the first of time I've ever done
something like that with a woman. Yes, I'm so excited.
The thought of the spa bath cripples me with fear,
what could happen, what could go wrong,
it may get really intimate and lead to sex
and I'm just quite intimidated by that,
the fact that I've never had sex before.
I was disappointed, or if she didn't like me because of it,
it would destroy me.
Cheers, Matt, to our honeymoon.
Cheers.
On the other side of the country in Port Douglas,
Ines and Bronson are getting in touch with nature.
And Bronson is hoping some time with the locals
will help them find some common ground.
There's still a lot more I'd like to know about Ines,
we've got a long way to go, but I'm looking forward.
I think there's a glimmer of hope.
Ines wasn't impressed when she met Bronson at their wedding.
How are you going? Hi, good.
I'm Bronson. Hi, Bronson.
Can we get rid of your eyebrow ring, please?
Eyebrow rings are so Britney Spears,
like, having a mental breakdown, 2000.
And her second impression wasn't much better
when she learned about his past.
I was a stripper.
Who I date and marry is a representation of myself
so this is like mortifying, like it's purely disgusting.
Ines is brutally honest and headstrong but that's deliberate,
to prevent herself from getting hurt
because she's had to look after herself all her life.
My mum gave birth to my sister in a refugee camp.
Yeah, it was really nice, I was there.
I want to be part of the experiment because I'm ready to be a mother.
It's important to me to have children
and bring life into this world
where I can create happy memories that I never got.
I think Bronson's light-hearted nature
will help Ines lower her walls,
in fact, I think his optimistic outlook
would likely start rubbing off on Ines.
Oh, look at these little things.
Oh my god.
I'm giving the marriage 110%.
I'm hoping it's just a bad start. Things get better,
and it's nice to slow it down, know that it's an activity
that we can sort of both enjoy.
I want some snacks so I can give it to them.
They are cute. They are cute.
Hey, guys, how are you going?
Get out.
Are people trying to kill me?
(LAUGHS)
Anyone interested in holding a snake?
Yes please! I'd love to.
Bronty is a scrub python. Hello, mate.
Bronty, or... Bronty.
Hello, Bronty.
I enjoy this stuff, I come from a farm
so we were always growing up with snakes, livestock,
bobtails, things like that. Gorgeous.
It's exciting to get back to nature.
(LAUGHS) Like a bowtie.
I have a phobia of reptiles.
Um...I just don't like the feel of them.
OK, um...
So if you want to start with the tail,
that's probably the best spot. Give it a quick tap.
(SCREAMING, LAUGHING)
I have seen crocodiles on TV before.
And that was enough for me.
Wow, it's like...like a rock.
She's done well.
I was actually quite surprised she touched a crocodile.
I'm really surprised. I actually take my hat off to her.
It tells me that Ines is actually happy
to get out of her comfort zone.
Oh my god, look at its little face. Aw!
Hey guys, this is Cody, one of our Queensland koalas.
Hey, Cody, how're you going?
I think this is more your pace.
Do you think you'd like to hold this one?
Yeah. Yeah?
There we go, and if you want to turn...
That's so cute, I feel like a mum.
I really felt connected to the koala.
Do you reckon he thinks I'm his mum, like he feels at home?
He probably thinks you're his tree.
Oh.
Ines was holding the koala, it was really cute.
It showed that she has a softer side and she wants to be a mum,
it's kind of cool to see that she can do that.
She wants to do that. It's nice.
Would you like to hold Cody? I'd love to hold Cody.
Do you know how to hold a child? Not a clue.
OK.
Come here, big boy.
Nice big tree for him.
Ines today has shown her caring side,
you know, she's touching animals, playing with it quite nice,
it's been fun.
(LAUGHS) You are so cute.
It's nice to find something we can both do
that's semi-enjoyable.
Is this one your favourite? Yes.
Seeing Bronson hold that koala,
you want to look at it and think, "Oh my god, yes,
that is hot, that's like dad material."
I'm a daddy. (LAUGHS)
To a very hairy baby.
But yeah, I just don't feel that.
We just don't have good chat, we don't have chat at all.
Like, we just don't connect on any level.
Might do some meditation or something.
I wish there was a chair.
That could be a problem.
Back in Sydney, store manager Elizabeth
is missing out on this important getting-to-know-you phase
of the experiment.
I am waking up by myself,
and today I'm meant to be on my honeymoon with Sam.
This is not what I expected to be waking up to.
You know?
I feel like my wedding was a dream.
Hi. How are you?
He seemed picture perfect.
It is my pleasure to pronounce you husband and wife.
He seemed absolutely lovely and amazing and very affectionate.
Oh my god, I can't!
You know, he ticked all the boxes and then it's kind of like...
..literally I just woke up, he's not even here.
Sam received sad news the morning after their wedding.
I just found out my ex-partner's mum has passed away.
Yeah, she wants me to go to the funeral.
It's been 24 hours since Sam went overseas to comfort his ex.
And he hasn't been in contact since he left.
Leaving Elizabeth alone with her thoughts.
Coming to this experiment, one of the issues I had
prior to this is that I had been in relationships
where I have given my all and they have not been
focused completely on me.
Doing my make-up today is helping me
because it's part of my everyday routine.
As much as people brush their teeth every day,
people have a coffee every day.
I know it's probably not the situations
that I've been in the past, I know it's probably not,
but...where the hell do I stand in all this?
Where do I stand in this? I don't...
This is why I'm here, I'm getting a little bit emotional
because this is too raw for me and I have risked everything.
I'm in a hotel room and I don't even know...
The situation is just shit because I'm like...
I'm meant to get to know him.
A honeymoon is supposed to be a really nice thing
and it's just like, I don't know will the BLEEP is going on,
I don't know what's going on.
I just wanted to be the princess for once
and I don't know what's going on, and I gave up everything.
In Samoa, make-up artist Martha and PE teacher Michael
start their honeymoon in style...
..as they are met with a traditional welcome.
(MEN YELL)
Can you believe we're on our honeymoon?
No. It's crazy.
We got to the resort and there were warriors
and they were screaming. (MEN YELL)
I want this welcoming everyday.
But they are all smiling and they all have great accessories.
Totally got to get you a red coral necklace.
And a sarong.
You will be a local in no time.
I feel like this honeymoon's gonna be the perfect backdrop
for me to hang out with my new husband.
Michael felt like he hit the jackpot at their wedding.
She...
She is... She's beautiful.
But Martha can be a little high maintenance.
I look forward to a future of pore strips,
clay masks and night creams together forever.
And likes to know where she stands.
Do you like me?
I do. Of course.
(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC)
Michael just hopes he's not in over his head.
It's the perfect environment for me to be able to get closer to her.
It was the first time that Martha had been in her bikini
in front of me which is not much clothing at all.
A little bit of me froze
when I was watching her walk in to the pool.
I didn't say anything, I was just taken aback little bit.
Martha in a bikini is better than I could have thought.
She's got an amazing body and she is, like, the whole package.
I'm an affectionate person, I like to show my feelings,
I like to give my partner a kiss whenever I can
but in that moment I thought,
"OK, I don't know exactly how she feels about it."
I don't want to go in for a kiss and make her feel
really uncomfortable and really bad about it so I kind of held back.
I don't know Martha well enough to know how she feels about PDA,
public displays of affection,
so it's got to be a question that I ask her
in the next day or so.
Let's get changed and go to dinner.
We should do like matching outfits.
In South Australia, 29-year-old virgin Matthew
had hoped to conquer new territory by taking a spa bath
with his new bride Lauren.
But Matthew's nerves took over.
Last night towards the end of the night,
I started to feel really, really off.
My stomach started to hurt and I was not feeling well.
Oh god.
I think that anxiety, fear and nervousness,
turning into a pain is probably because it's the closest
I've ever come to being physically intimate with a woman,
and that is scary.
Hey Loz.
Good morning.
I'm worried that Loz is going to think I'm not interested in her
or not attracted to her because I'm not making a move
and that's not the case at all,
it's just that I'm terrified of being intimate.
Good morning.
I didn't want to wake you, but made you a tea.
Just in case you wanted one when you got up.
Thank you.
How did you sleep?
Yeah, I think I slept well.
How are you feeling?
Better.
Yeah? Yeah.
Good.
On the wedding day, the chemistry was definitely there,
but I feel like since then, it's kind of slipped away a bit.
We did plan on having a spa and a little spoon,
but none of that happened, so yeah, I'd love some kisses today.
Lauren has planned a helicopter ride to reignite their spark.
I'm so excited.
Casually hopping in our chopper on our lawn.
Just, you know, living the life.
I'm a bit nervous, I'm not going to lie.
Thank you.
Maybe I haven't made it too obvious for Matthew
so I will try and be a little bit more affectionate
to see if he picks up on what I'm putting down.
I will just lean over like this.
Oh god.
(LAUGHS)
(SOARING MUSIC)
I don't want to put that pressure on him.
I want him to feel comfortable but I would like Matthew
to make the first move.
And give me a little kiss.
Yeah. It just puts it into perspective.
It's constantly playing on my mind
whether or not I should make a move.
Is it the right time, is it the wrong time?
What do I do?
There's still that part of me that is crippled by fear
that's afraid to make the move.
After spending the morning by his side,
Lauren's still waiting for that kiss.
If there is no physical contact, it's like you may as well
just be friends.
Thanks, guys. Thank you.
Nice and low, nice and low. (LAUGHS)
You weren't too nervous? No, I was fine.
I was a bit nervous taking off, but...you kept me nice and calm.
I didn't come here to find a friend.
I came here to find a husband.
And someone to grow old with.
Can it get better than that? Maybe.
Look, I'm open to anything.
(PLAINTIVE MUSIC)
- Coming up... - Let's do it.
..Lauren finally gets her spa with Matthew.
It was just awkward.
And Ines and Bronson are getting along.
But how long will it last?
I'm stressed, shut the BLEEP up! That's fine, be BLEEP stressed.
Stupid motherBLEEP.
I can see why you're single, hey? I really can.
It's midway through the honeymoon phase of the experiment.
Woo-hoo!
Why do you keep saying 'Mm'?
I'm really relaxed.
The newlyweds are getting to know each other better.
(LAUGHS) Well done, Matt!
And are growing ever closer.
Instead of staring into the camera like that,
look down and then flick your eyes back up and smile.
(LAUGHS)
But in Sydney, Elizabeth has to entertain herself.
I could have been on a hot tropical destination for my honeymoon,
and instead I'm in Sydney by myself.
Her husband Sam went overseas three days ago
to comfort his ex-girlfriend at her mum's funeral.
Look, I'm hoping Sam does come back.
The thing is though, there's going to be
a lot of questions on my behalf.
Like, how close are you exactly with your ex?
Elizabeth is concerned because Sam hasn't been in contact since he left.
No call, nothing, no text, no nothing.
All my past issues are just coming to the surface
because the honeymoon was where we were meant to come together.
But she is still committed to this marriage.
Sam ticks all the boxes.
He ticks everything, I mean,
who wouldn't want to wake up next to him?
Do you know what I mean? I am extremely disappointed,
I am sad, but of course I am going to really put
all my energy into being focused to make sure he is OK
because, at the end of the day,
it is a huge, horrible situation for Sam.
Elizabeth decides to call Sam to find out how he's doing.
(PHONE RINGS)
Leave your name and number
and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Hey, it's Elizabeth, just wanted to make sure you were OK
and every thing was going all right.
I came here to find love and it's just like...
I am here by myself.
Maybe he does not like me, there's no attraction there.
There may be a little bit of paranoia on my behalf,
but right now, I am just trying to keep my cool
and not let my thoughts run completely wild.
That's... Yeah.
That is where my head is at right now.
Meanwhile in South Australia, Lauren is frustrated
that she and Matthew are stuck in virgin territory.
I feel like Matt and I are still at a friendship level.
I am concerned that he's not showing affection
because we haven't kissed since the wedding day.
I know that he's a virgin but if he can't kiss me then I'm worried.
Lauren's been trying to get Matthew to loosen up
by taking a spa with her.
The spa bath is like the stepping stone.
If he's comfortable having a spa bath with me,
he'll be comfortable to kiss me.
Check out the bubbles.
I am so keen to get in. Yeah, me too.
Let's do it.
This is nice.
It's so nice and warm.
Ah!
Kissing Loz is something that is constantly on my mind,
it's something I definitely would like to be able to do
on the honeymoon, whether or not I can get over this crippling fear
and do it is another thing.
Have you ever had a bubble bath before?
Of course,
but never with someone else, you know?
This is a new experience. (LAUGHS)
The spa bath was definitely interesting to say the least.
How comfortable are you right now?
Surprisingly more comfortable than I expected to be.
Definitely not the sexy intimate spa bath
that I have been waiting for.
Um...It was just awkward.
I'm very worried that my fears of intimacy
are going to ruin this marriage.
You OK? Yeah.
Just stop overthinking everything.
Just relax, take this moment in because, think about it,
we're on our honeymoon.
I think for this relationship to be able to go the distance,
it is something I'm really going to have to overcome,
I'm going to have to just build up the confidence
and get over this fear of intimacy
and start showing Loz affection.
But it's still something that scares me.
It is just like... an anxiety in my gut.
Just enjoy the moment.
In far North Queensland, Bronson has woken up
eager to build on his connection with Ines.
The more I get to know her, the more I like her.
I think there's definitely a good chance
if it can continue on just like this.
But Ines isn't feeling as enthusiastic.
I am a bit exhausted thinking about today
and the day hasn't even begun,
only because Bronson is a really active person.
He was up this morning doing the splits.
The only other people I know that can do the splits
are 12 year old girls who do gymnastics.
I can't even touch my toes without needing to go to the chiropractor.
So, Ines isn't happy when she learns
Bronson's planned a day out parasailing.
Excited about today? Excited about what?
What we could be doing. No.
I'm not excited. At all. (LAUGHS)
Oh my god, it's moving, I'm going to throw up.
You guys excited to go parasailing?
I am. Um...
I've been parasailing before and like...I handled it.
You'll be all right. I'm ecstatic, I can't wait.
As our couples get to know each other,
they're going to have to learn to read each other's comfort levels
and then adjust their own behaviour accordingly.
Getting this tricky balancing act right will be key
to a successful honeymoon and a successful marriage.
So, how long do we stay in the air for?
You're up in the air for about 10 minutes.
Oh. Beautiful.
I am prone to like fainting if my blood pressure gets too high
so I just really want to avoid that.
No worries, we'll just have to make sure Bronson
can hold you up straight.
I know Bronson likes the high energy adrenaline stuff in life.
I'm not really like that.
It scares me.
So any deaths due to parasailing?
Are you BLEEP serious? what sort of dumb arse BLEEP question is that?
I think it's a pretty fun question.
Jesus help me.
Can I get off the boat? Absolutely not.
We're here to have fun but not to hurt anyone.
Obviously anyone could tell I was highly distressed.
And then he just kept going and going.
Any crocs in the water?
Um...
Yes, there's always a chance.
We are in North Queensland.
Bronson doesn't calm me.
Like, he actually pisses me off.
Um...The less talking you do is going to be better for me,
like I'm trying to decompose, distress.
All right, breathe deep and I'll... Shut the BLEEP up.
Coming up... Get me off the boat!
..cyclone Ines hits. Shut the BLEEP up.
When I say don't speak, shut the BLEEP up.
And Bronson fights back.
I can see why you're single, hey. I really can.
The less talking you do, it's going to better for me.
I'm trying to decompose, distress.
Just breathe deep and I'll... Shut the BLEEP up.
Ah.
If I'm in the wrong and I've done something wrong
then I deserve to get told to shut up, absolutely,
but trying to talk to someone and getting shut down,
no, I don't think anyone deserves that.
Is it like wavy like this the whole time?
No.
No, when we get down there, it will be nice.
I think you should go up on your own.
Don't want to do it by yourself?
I just don't want to do it with you.
No, no. I'm happy with that. I think it may be quite nice.
I think Bronson thought that I was just being dramatic.
I was actually serious.
I didn't feel well mentally, emotionally, spiritually.
I'm just trying to stay calm so I don't collapse.
There is no emergency help out here.
I'm just so overwhelmed.
You go for it.
I need a break.
Off you go, Bronson. You can go first.
I'll watch you.
If anyone has a knife so I can cut the rope,
watch Bronson sail away into the sky.
The sun is shining, you're on a boat in Port Douglas,
what the hell is there to be sad about?
I don't want to tell someone how to feel or what to do,
but if you're being a dick, I'll tell you.
I've got to say it. As a human, you are a horrible person.
Shut the BLEEP up.
Get me off the boat.
Get me off the BLEEP boat.
I don't give a BLEEP.
Get me off the boat, shot the BLEEP up.
When I say don't speak, shut the BLEEP up!
I am stressed, shut the BLEEP up.
That's fine, be BLEEP stressed.
Stupid BLEEP.
I can see why you're single, hey. I really can.
Jesus Christ. I will faint, get me off the boat.
I feel like I'm actually stressed.
It's frustrating.
It's really frustrating.
Yesterday was great, lovely girl, good, friendly, bubbly,
but as soon as she's out of her comfort zone,
she puts up the brick walls and people don't want
to talk to her.
I will jump off the BLEEP ship.
Obviously, you don't ever want to reach that level of frustration
where you do have to get that upset at your husband.
Yeah, I couldn't tolerate him and the nonsense any longer.
There's a lot of erratic energy in your voice that's adding to my...
Of course, if someone tells me to shut the BLEEP cup,
I take that to absolute heart.
Grow a BLEEP ballsack.
I come from a place where you're nice to people all the time.
If you don't like them, you don't talk to them.
You're scared of a swear word?
No, I don't like being told of BLEEP off
or to shut the BLEEP up. Or any of those words.
Just be a nice person.
When I asked the experts what I wanted,
I said a nice person.
Right now, I want to throw the ring in the water.
"Stuff it, I'm out of here."
I can go back to people I love and people that love me.
Woo! Thanks guys!
Bronson hopes he'll find some breathing space in the air.
(LAUGHS) Woo!
Up in the air, it was amazing.
I got away from Ines.
Jesus BLEEP Christ, Mary and Joseph.
I'm hoping it changes.
I really am hoping it changes because we've got a long way to go.
In South Australia, 29-year-old virgin Matthew's anxiety
has been building since his wedding to wife Lauren.
As a result of his virginity, Matthew experiences anxiety
that he is different from everybody else.
When Matthew faces the numerous challenges in this experiment,
he can internalise this anxiety and it can manifest physically
in terms of muscle tension, dizziness and shortness of breath.
Instead of getting turned on by taking a spa with Lauren...
I'm feeling really crook, I don't know what's going on.
..Matthew has taken a turn for the worse.
We are on our way to the hospital.
Matthew has spoke to a nurse over the phone and she advised
that we get straight to the emergency department.
Right now, he's in a lot of pain.
The honeymoon is becoming one to remember,
but for all the wrong reasons.
We are looking forward to dinner tonight and other things,
but here we are at hospital.
He's just having some tests at the moment.
I actually am starting to get really worried.
I'm his wife now and I just want to look after him.
After a long night in hospital, 29-year-old virgin Matthew
was given the all clear to get back to his honeymoon.
How did you sleep?
I didn't sleep very well. Oh, that's no good.
I was really worried.
I still am worried.
Last night I got just really unwell.
I'd been pushing through some pain for a while
and it just got the best of me.
Loz sat with me the whole night.
I felt really supported and as weird as it sounds,
I'm so incredibly grateful for it. I think...
If anything, it's actually brought us closer together.
Yeah.
(LAUGHS) It's funny actually.
I really couldn't believe that you came with me
and sat with me for six hours.
I'm your wifey!
Of course I'm going to do that. (LAUGHS)
I'm grateful for it.
Pain and all, as weird as it sounds, it was actually...fun.
I agree.
I definitely think it was a good bonding experience
for Matthew and I.
It made us forget about everything else.
I think it's brought us closer together for sure.
We are married now and they say in sickness and in health,
so there I was! (LAUGHS)
I hope you're feeling better because this is our last day,
actually, on our honeymoon.
No, I'm definitely feeling better.
Something about having you there just calmed me.
That's so sweet. (LAUGHS)
I should be able to tackle anything today.
Jeez, far out, look out, be careful what you wish for, Matt.
(LAUGHS)
I would very much like to kiss her.
I think what I'm gonna have to do is just work up my courage
and just go for it.
When...I think it's an old saying,
"When the student is ready, the master will appear."
Hm.
Back in Sydney, Elizabeth hasn't been able to get to know
her new husband Sam.
He is still at his ex-girlfriend's mum's funeral
and hasn't returned her call.
The fact that I haven't heard from Sam since the morning
after the wedding, yeah,
I feel like my time has been completely wasted.
Even if he was in shock and didn't know what to do,
there should have been a phone call or something.
You can't just not touch base with someone
who's given up their whole life.
It would be so nice to talk about the situation
with someone else other than the voices in my head at this point.
Elizabeth has arranged a night out
with her bridesmaids Nicole and Beth.
Hi.
You are my model girls.
Hi, baby. Hello.
I have been wondering how their honeymoon is going.
How was it?
Sam was very attractive.
His hair was perfect, like, I was like, "Wow."
So?
How did it go? You guys look amazing.
How's it going? So something has happened.
Obviously I am here... and I'm here by myself.
Unfortunately, someone has passed away.
On Sam's side. Yep.
On the day we were meant to go on our honeymoon.
It is really sad, and then who's passed away
is his ex-girlfriend's mother.
Now... OK.
Yep. Now... What?
Yes.
You got to be respectful in this situation which I am,
but it's to do with an ex,
so he had to leave straight away on our wedding morning
to go overseas.
So it was one night?
One night.
And then the morning...
He was gone.
He's meant to be on his honeymoon.
Wouldn't that be a good enough explanation to your ex
that you are on your bloody honeymoon?
So, is it completely over or are you going...
What's going on?
What's the plan?
I called him, voicemail.
This was two days ago, nothing.
So you haven't heard back from him? He hasn't contacted me.
Are you serious? Yes.
Has he got reception? Like, does he...
..have reception to call you? It's been a few days now.
No excuses. It's called Wi-Fi.
This pisses me off. She's had a hard enough time in the past
with relationships, let alone trying to work on a guy
that has just walked out of her life within 24 hours.
You do know what the truth is, you don't even know
if he's done a runner on you.
What would you do in the situation?
If my husband just disappeared on me...
It's a bit of a red flag.
And by red flag I mean it's not a good thing.
You think coming into something like this
that you would want to give someone 100%
and Lizzie has given this her all,
but he just hasn't given her the same back.
Are you willing to give this another shot though?
Thing is, I chose to do this experiment because I wanted
to find true love and I want to not be myself where I would run.
Do you know what I mean? Yes.
Now it's just a waiting game, I guess,
how long are you going to wait?
So I thought meeting with Beth and Nicole that it would...
..bring some clarity to my mind.
All it has done is made me even more...
..yeah, what the hell am I doing?
The honeymoons are coming to an end.
I don't think I even need to sit on the sand.
I think I want to go straight in.
And in Samoa, Martha and Michael are slowly diving
into married life together.
Martha and I, we haven't kissed out in the open,
out in public and I haven't even tried to pursue that.
I've been holding back a little bit on the PDA, on the affection.
All I'm trying to do right now is just make her happy.
Obviously, I like Martha.
I think she's beautiful, I like her personality,
but I have those kind of questions.
You know, does she feel the same way about me?
Does she find me as attractive as I find her and I need to ask her,
I need to be upfront with her.
To get them talking on a deeper level,
the experts have sent them a honeymoon box.
Ooh. This is nice.
What have we got here? Lovely.
There is a surprise box.
Honesty is a key ingredient in a healthy relationship.
I'll be opening that. Yeah, I figured.
The questions in the honeymoon box are designed
to give Martha and Michael a greater understanding and insight
into each other, and hopefully bring them
closer together as a couple.
Do you feel any sexual chemistry with me?
(LAUGHS) Why are you laughing?
Because it is odd to talk about it.
I guess yeah, I do feel sexual chemistry between us.
I feel that...I don't know.
I get to see you in your bikini and...
I've got to be honest, it's hard to look away.
I'm mumbling my words saying that.
You getting nervous talking about me?
Yeah. I am because... your body is fantastic.
Oh, nice.
All right, next question.
Have you ever had any plastic surgery?
Um...I had my nose broken and I had that fixed straight.
That was cosmetic to put it straight back into place.
I feel like every guy I've ever dated has had a nose job,
so it's just another one on the list.
The rest of me...
Is natural.
Is...Yeah, that's it, it's the way I was made.
What about you?
I like to look good and whatever it takes.
So, I've definitely had some plastic surgery, not gonna lie.
I've had my boobs done, I've had a nose job, I've had Botox,
I've had a bit of filler, I've got fake nails,
I've got my hair chemically straightened. It matters to me.
I look good, I feel good. And I wouldn't look at you
and think you've had all that done.
She's made some changes to her face and her body,
but she still looks natural
and that's the most important thing to me,
that my partner is naturally beautiful.
Free question.
Ask away.
Surely there's something you've been thinking about
that you really want to know.
I've obviously got these little concerns.
I don't know exactly how she feels about this relationship.
It is a question that I do want to ask her.
Well, do you like me?
Yeah.
I'm definitely attracted to you.
Like, you are superfit, you're tall
and you've got really nice skin.
So physically, yeah, definitely.
Check.
So we like each other.
I'm vibing your vibe.
You're making me feel a lot more comfortable.
Now that I've got all those answers to the questions that I had,
it makes me feel so much more comfortable.
Today she told me she likes me so more can I ask for?
It's perfect.
I'm excited.
I'm pumped for what's to come.
(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC)
In Port Douglas, Ines and Bronson
are still feeling the tension after their explosive confrontation
on the boat.
I was pissed.
I was not happy at all and I let her attitude affect my attitude.
And I've decided, yeah, bugger it.
I don't need it in my life.
I want positive vibes because I want to be happy.
Life's too short for grudges, it really is.
There's too much to live for.
So they've decided to call a ceasefire
for the final night of their honeymoon.
I'm so embarrassed about my behaviour.
It was a highly traumatic experience for me because under pressure,
and under stress, I don't handle it well.
But you know, at this current stage, I'm really trying
to accept Bronson for who he is as a person.
I will look past it purely because I think we still need to work
on developing a strong connection.
You look absolutely amazing tonight.
Oh, thanks.
We're gonna keep trying.
We're going to have a good chat and find out what makes
each other tick, and hopefully loosen things up between us. Yeah.
Cheers. Cheers.
To a great night.
Some couples get along straight away on their honeymoons,
but strong personalities like Ines and Bronson
may take longer to find their similarities.
Hello.
Ooh. Thank you very much.
The honeymoon box is a way of getting them
to open up to each other.
This way, they can see what we saw and see why they're a match.
Hello, newlyweds.
Inside this box are questions for you and your partner
to ask each other. These questions are designed
to give you a greater insight into one another,
so good luck from the experts.
This could be trouble.
What was your very first impression of me?
Don't hold it against me,
it was, "Shite, she's a handful."
In a nice way to put it.
I am a handful.
Yeah, as in...Jersey Shore Kardashian on steroids.
(LAUGHS) That was my first opinion.
That is so good.
That was my first opinion.
And then 15 seconds after that,
you asked me to remove my eyebrow ring.
Yeah, I thought it was unusual.
I haven't seen an eyebrow ring since Britney Spears' mental breakdown.
That was the last time.
That was it. That's good.
Thank you very much for your honesty. That's OK.
Do you feel any sexual chemistry with me?
It's a hard one.
You are absolutely gorgeous.
Would you root me?
I don't judge people on that.
I am an upfront and direct person.
I felt Bronson was beating around the bush a lot.
It's usually the personality I'm more attracted to.
I have been with models who are horrible people
and dropped them like that.
I have been with the average country girl
and been with them for years because their personality shines through.
I am really attracted...
Would you root me?
When you are happy and your bubbly, that's amazing,
I really like you. I like you a lot.
There is a chemistry with the good side of Ines,
there really is, the happy, fun, bubbly side.
If I could have that 24/7, that would be fantastic.
When I kissed you, I felt something then.
There was a really good passionate kiss,
I actually felt something.
And they when Jekyll and Hyde comes out,
I lose that feeling pretty quick.
And I find it really hard to get it back.
But you are absolutely gorgeous.
When Jekyll and Hyde come out, no, shit no,
that puts me right back to square one and she has to start all over again.
I can't deal with that.
One minute you're happy, next minute you're angry,
next minute you're happy, next minute you're angry.
Yeah. I find it really hard to take.
It's like dating the Hulk. (LAUGHS)
It is.
You are definitely Jekyll and Hyde, you really are.
The Hulk?
We'll say Jekyll and Hyde because I never know
when you are going to change into the green beast.
(LAUGHS) That is so funny.
I feel better about Ines now than I did this morning.
This is the better side of her which is great,
if I could have this all the time, it would be fantastic.
It's just me.
OK. Now I know that, now I know how to take you.
That's all right.
(LAUGHS)
Tonight actually went a lot better than I thought it would.
I feel like Bronson is so nice
but Bronson's past of being a stripper,
I just don't think...
Like I just cannot get over it.
It's the last night of the honeymoons and in South Australia,
29-year-old virgin Matthew
knows tonight might be his last chance to show Lauren
how he really feels.
Someone with social anxiety like Matthew can take a long time
to let down his protective barriers, but he must find a way to open up
and let Lauren in. Only then will they finally be able
to achieve true intimacy.
I don't want to go back to Sydney at all.
I don't want to go back to reality.
It makes me a little nervous, actually.
Does it? Yeah.
The relationship between Loz and I is going really well.
I feel like I've got her support, she's by my side,
I feel a lot more willing to open up to her, to let her in
and not be afraid to be vulnerable.
Growing up, I never felt good enough.
My family is not really great at physical displays of affection
and then I would go to school and get bullied
and basically be told that I wasn't good enough and I didn't matter,
so I wasn't feeling good enough at home,
was told I wasn't good enough at school,
and I think it was about 15 or 16 and I got a job
for one of our neighbours, and he used to build racing ski boats
and I started working for him and I was learning a lot
and he was teaching me and mentoring me,
and I was really enjoying it
and he was making me feel like I mattered.
I started to actually feel good,
and then one day he finished a boat he was working on
and he went off to go test it and he said,
"I'll be back later," and he never came back.
He actually...
He died testing that boat.
Probably not the best topic of conversation for our honeymoon.
Honestly, I'm so...
Sorry.
It's fine.
It breaks my heart. Like...
I'm sorry that that happened to you.
Matt, you are so amazing, you really are.
I had thought there was something deeper...
I knew there was a reason why you were just feeling
like not confident at all.
It makes a lot of sense now.
I really like Matthew, I do.
He completely opened to me
and I just appreciate that more than anything.
I just feel for him so much.
To me, a relationship is about being open and honest with each other,
so thank you.
You don't have to worry about anything.
You are an amazing guy.
You are so genuine and so lovely.
These are all the things that I asked from the experts,
so that's all I care about.
I think by opening up to Loz and letting her in on my past
and my history and why I am the way I am,
that is probably the first step in me trying to overcome this fear
of being intimate.
I think it may have brought us closer.
I am so full.
You may need to carry me home.
Oh, that can be arranged.
Back in Sydney, it's been five days
and Elizabeth still hasn't received any contact from her husband Sam.
Haven't heard from Sam.
I left a voicemail and nothing on his behalf.
No text message, nothing, nothing at all, no call, whatever.
Nothing.
You know, if he called me to let me know he was OK,
this is what is happening, to me that means you are committed.
You can't mess around and not touch base, that's not fair,
that's really not fair.
Elizabeth is feeling increasingly desperate.
He seemed like Prince Charming on the wedding and affectionate.
Was that just a show in front of everybody?
You can't just disappear and expect it to be OK.
That is why I'm like, "What are you even used to,
girls just doting and waiting on you?"
I'm just like, "Is that what you think you are getting?"
100%, I feel jilted.
I feel like if he didn't find me attractive in any aspect,
I feel like my time's been completely wasted.
This is just utter BS.
I'm ready to walk off.
As the honeymoons draw to a close, the newlyweds say their goodnights.
Would you like a chocolate?
No, that's all right. Thank you very much.
Have a good night. Good night!
But in South Australia, the night is just getting started
for Lauren and Matthew.
I feel like this dinner has changed everything.
Tonight we have really got to know each other on a different level
and I think there's definitely potential
for something special there.
Me too.
I've had a great evening.
Loz deserves more than me just telling her
how much I'm she means to me, she deserves for me to show her
how much she means to me.
(ROMANTIC MUSIC)
(EXHALES) Mm, that feels good!
(INHALES)
Good morning.
The relationship's definitely blossoming
and...we have taken things to the next level.
How are you feeling?
Good.
Me too.
Last night I lost my virginity.
It was just a beautiful moment.
It was...
..probably...
..more than I expected it would be.
It was...It was amazing.
It's our last day! I know.
Of our honeymoon.
I think it was worth the 29 year wait.
Loz is just amazing.
We are so close, we are so...connected.
I just...
I just want to be with her.
Me touching Loz, Loz touching me,
it was a beautiful moment,
and I'm so glad it was Loz.
I can't remember the last time I was this happy.
I don't know about you, but I don't want to leave this place.
I definitely don't want to leave here.
I'm feeling closer to Matt than ever.
The chemistry is back.
I can't stop smiling, actually.
I definitely feel back on track with our marriage
and yeah, I'm excited to see where things go with Matt and I.
I couldn't have asked for things to get better.
Same.
(ROMANTIC MUSIC)
For all my life, I've been crippled by this social anxiety.
Fear of intimacy and showing affection,
and all these things I was scared of in the past
and fearful of,
I don't have to worry about them any more.
With Loz by my side, the future can be whatever we want to make it.
That's exciting.
(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC)
Tomorrow night...
Hello. Hello!
..it's the first dinner party. Hi.
Where's her husband? How was your honeymoon?
No honeymoon.
He's a dick already. I don't like him.
Ladies and gents, dinner is served.
And there's romance, raunch...
There's going to be a lot of wife swapping.
You are a little minx, aren't you?
..and plenty of drama on the menu.
OK, here we go, buckle up. That is so fake.
Oh my god, you are ridiculous.
You sit there and you say I don't want to say anything.
Because guess who's coming to dinner?
This is going to rev the group up.
Honey, I'm home.
