NARRATOR: Last night, three couples headed off on honeymoon.
A little bit of me froze, watching her walking to the pool.
In South Australia's wine country...
Oh!
..champagne wasn't all that Lauren popped...
Last night I lost my virginity.
I can't remember the last time I was this happy.
..while Ines and Bronson headed off course.
When I say don't speak, shut up!
Sam bailed on his honeymoon altogether...
This is not what I expected to be waking up to.
..leaving a confused Elizabeth to wonder what went wrong.
I don't know what's going on.
Tonight...
Hello! Hello!
..it's the first dinner party.
Where's her husband?
How was your honeymoon?
No honeymoon.
He's a dick already. I don't like him.
Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is served.
And there's romance, raunch...
There's gonna be a lot of wife-swapping.
You're a little minx, aren't you?
..and plenty of drama on the menu...
Here we go. Buckle up.
That's so fake.
Oh, my God. You are ridiculous.
You sit there and you say, 'I don't know what to say.'
Because guess who's coming to dinner...
This is going to rev the group up.
Honey, I'm home.
(CHURCH BELLS)
(TENSE MUSIC)
On a chilly morning in Sydney,
Elizabeth is waking up alone yet again.
No, I haven't heard from Sam.
It's like day four and I don't know what's going on.
It's odd not to hear from him.
He's meant to be fully committed to this
but he's attending an ex's mother's funeral.
I want to believe him,
but I called yesterday
and left a voicemail and, like, nothing.
I really just don't know what's going on at the moment.
The fact that he's overseas with his ex-girlfriend
is just like the cherry on top, I feel like -
it's like, how can someone's mind not go into overdrive?
Like, it's just normal. It's natural.
So right now, it feels like I'm in solitary confinement.
It's not pleasant at all.
While Elizabeth paces her apartment...
Inhale, lift the chest, roll the shoulders back.
..the rest of the newlyweds
make the most of their precious last hours on honeymoon.
Oh, oh! (SQUEALS)
Overall, the honeymoon has been amazing.
I mean, Mick has been amazing,
getting to know one another has been amazing.
(GIGGLES) Honey, what's that?
(LAUGHS) I (BLEEP) Hate you!
It's Vitamin D. Vitamin E is Sorbolene cream.
Mmm.
MATT: Really, it's been perfect.
I know. Hopefully we can create some more memories
back in Sydney.
Back in the real world.
Bye, honeymoon.
Good to go.
We are leaving.
# Don't wanna be
# All by myself
# Anymore. #
(SIGHS) Thank you.
(SAD MUSIC)
(WEAK CHUCKLE)
(US ACCENT) Are you there, Sam? Are you in here, Sam?
You hidin'?
Sam?
Where art thou, Sam?
Yeah, I'm getting, like, the horror four walls.
Literally, it's me, myself and I.
# I'm all alone. #
(SIGHS)
I was meant to be in Phuket.
I was meant to be somewhere beautiful and tropical.
No, I've got a fur on.
This is not what was meant to happen.
This is meant to be marriage,
where he's here for me and I'm here for him.
I need to get out here. Dude, I need to get out of here.
Sam has 100% ruined my first week and my experience in this experiment.
He's 100% ruined it.
(EPIC ROMANTIC MUSIC)
With the honeymoons over,
the remaining newlyweds have returned to Sydney...
Oh, you're a good husband.
You're like Cinderella? Yep,
pretty much.
..and they are now preparing for the next big challenge
of the experiment - the first dinner party.
Tonight's dinner party is a crucial step in our experiment.
Our newlyweds will have to present as a couple to the group
in a large social setting.
Look how smooth they are on your legs.
I know, they're pretty tight.
They don't leave much to the imagination.
Oh, well, lucky me. Ha!
Just holding the mirror up,
so I can get all the angles of lighting
while I do my make-up. This is married life.
Connections were formed at the bucks and hens night,
but tonight is the first time the couples will meet as a group.
The girls, they are wild and they are full-on.
The guys aren't full-on at all. They're, you know...
Really? Oh, these women are gonna eat them up.
Oh, you just wait.
I'm nervous. What are you nervous for?
I don't know. You know, everyone's just gonna be judging each other
and it's gonna be...
So what? Let them judge each other.
Judge us. Don't worry about them.
Yeah, well, we're killing it.
I think we're doing well, so...
Don't worry, I've got your back. I've got yours.
JOHN: For some, it may trigger anxiety...
There's nervous butterflies going... (MAKES FUNNY NOISE)
..as there'll be no hiding from those hard-hitting questions tonight.
LOZ: Do you think the guys will ask,
'Did you sleep together on the honeymoon?'
I feel like that's going to be one of the first things
out of their mouths. Really?
Like, after they introduce themselves,
you know, they've done all the polite business,
that's probably one of the first things
they're gonna want to know.
The fact that I was a 29-year-old virgin
is a bit of an anomaly and some of them at the bucks night
found it quite interesting and strange.
So I feel like this is going to be nine couples
all wanting to ask me and Loz the one question.
How do you feel about that kind of situation?
(SIGHS) Um...
In a word, anxious.
Right now, my nerves are sort of ramping up a bit.
I'm feeling a little hot under the collar
and anxiety's sort of getting the best of me.
Let's go.
Let's do it. Yeah.
(UPLIFTING MUSIC)
JULES: Put your clothes on, hurry up.
That's the first time you've said that,
in a hurry. (LAUGHS)
Mark, you need to put the toilet seat down.
You look really nice tonight. Aw! Thank you.
These clean? Yep.
With the relationship with Jess and I,
there's just some bloody ups and downs.
You look good!
Yeah, you can polish a turd
occasionally. Doesn't want me to touch his hair!
I don't know where I stand with her most of the time, so...
You've got your work boots on, babe!
They're me nicest shoes.
You look like a 10.
It'll be good to catch up with a couple of the boys
and just get their advice and see what they have to say.
Absolutely.
Nailed it. Let's go.
Bingo. Let's go.
Ooh, how exciting!
JOHN: The dinner party will either strengthen our couple's relationships
or it could dial up the problems.
If there was trouble on the honeymoon,
those tensions will likely bubble back up tonight.
(TENSE MUSIC)
You look really good.
So what are the girls like?
They're all quite different to each other,
like a mixed bag of lollies,
but there's definitely some lollies in there I'd put back
if I took them out.
You'll have to point them out to me when we get there.
Oh, you'll be able to spot them, 100%.
(CHUCKLES)
I have not come to terms
with the fact that Bronson is a stripper.
A gentleman is not a stripper.
(SIGHS) It should be a good night.
I'm looking forward to it.
It'll be good to catch up with the boys again.
There are definitely feelings there but it's...
Uh, up and down.
One minute, you're happy. The next minute, you're angry.
The next, you're happy. The next, you're angry.
Yeah. I find it
really hard to take. It's like dating The Hulk.
(BOTH LAUGH)
I'm stressed! Shut the (BLEEP) up!
I can see why you're single, eh? Really can.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Since the honeymoon, it's difficult.
Do I push through? Pull back?
Do I get on the next plane? Do I just disappear?
You look good, you look really good. Are you ready to go?
Yeah. Let's do it.
When she's good, she's great.
When she's bad, she's atrocious.
But, you know, I'm in it for the long haul.
Beautiful. After you, mate.
Thank you. No worries.
Bronson and I have been giving each other
a lot of space.
It's working wonders
for the relationship. After you.
Bronson has been doing nothing that makes me think I'm his wife.
He just needs to put in a lot more work,
just to, like, please me, really.
(TENSE MUSIC)
So where am I at with my relationship with Sam?
What relationship? There is no relationship! My God!
I have not heard from him still.
I think this is like day 5000.
Walking into the dinner party tonight,
walking in by myself,
I'm actually feeling angry.
All these people have partners
and I'm walking in by myself
with no one and having no idea where Sam is.
What grown man
puts someone else out like this with no communication?
With no explanation whatsoever?
Who does that?
There's two people in this.
It's not just Sam.
I have no idea if Sam's coming to the dinner party.
Absolutely no idea.
If he's not here tonight,
I will see him again,
regardless of if it's in, like, a year or whatever.
I will find Sam and hunt him down.
I never forget.
I forgive but I never forget.
(CHURCH BELLS)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
OK, let's go. Let's go.
The big night has arrived...
I've got you. I've got you.
(GIGGLES)
Alright, let's do it. After you.
Come on, husband.
..as our couples
make their way to the first dinner party
of the experiment.
Here we are! This is it!
(SIGHS) Here we go. Going to our first dinner party.
Mmm.
True. You'll be able to see
if there's tension. Yeah.
JOHN: At the dinner party, it's essential that couples put on
a united front.
If they let the cracks in their relationship show,
one of them will end up feeling vulnerable and exposed.
Uh, no, it would never come to that.
Gotta be some drama. (LAUGHS)
There's gotta be a bit of drama in there.
Oh, this is gonna be wild. Yeah!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
TRISHA: Tonight, it will be very obvious
if there's chemistry between the couples.
JESS: I'm actually really excited to meet the guys.
Are you? Yeah. Can you not tell?
I'm, like, overly excited. First time ever.
TRISHA: It's very hard to hide your true feelings
in a social setting like this.
If I catch you checking out another female tonight,
you know World War III? (LAUGHS)
(WARM, MAJESTIC MUSIC)
Well, here we are, guys. The first dinner party.
They've gotten married, they've gone on their honeymoons
and now we get a chance
to see them all together for the first time. It's exciting.
Oh, wow. That's nice.
Where's all our fans? We have no one here.
We're first. You scared them away already!
MEL: First couple - Cyrell and Nic. Wow.
It's lovely to see them fresh from their honeymoon.
I mean, it's such a life-changing experience, isn't it?
They've married a complete stranger,
honeymoon, now they're getting ready
to meet all the other couples.
(EXCITING MUSIC)
Ah! Hello.
What's going on?
JOHN: Well, we've got Jules and Cam.
Hey, buddy. How are you, mate?
You look nice and brown.
Nice to see you. Lovely to see you.
Now, I'm hopeful for this couple.
They clearly have a very strong attraction
to each other. Yeah,
and respect for each other. Mmm.
Youse look really happy. It's good.
We look like the crazy couple next to youse!
You haven't stopped smiling. It's wonderful. It's good to see.
Yeah. Yeah.
Oh, hello! Hello.
MEL: Heidi and Mike.
Oh, good, how are you? So good to see you.
So lovely to see you. Jules, this is my husband.
Hello - Mike.
Hi, husband.
This is a great couple, isn't it?
Really positive pair. Yeah.
One of the things I love about Heidi and Mike
is they're both very physical in the way that they relate,
so what we are looking for tonight
is to see if that's starting to develop between them.
I really hope they get over the line.
100%.
(LAUGHS)
Are you so glad that you've done this?
They've just nailed it. It's obviously early days, but...
I know. I love him and I've just known him for five minutes!
I know, he's just an amazing man.
Like, just beautiful... And that's what you need.
That's what I wanted, someone who's on my level.
MIKE: How's your bird?
Unreal, mate. Yeah?
Like, (BLEEP) incredible. Really?
That's great. Amazing.
So's mine.
And so's yours! This is good stuff. Yeah. We're all having a good time.
Cheers, man! Cheers to that. Three from three so far.
We're like, ooh, who's next?
Here we go! (CHUCKLES)
Oh, hello! (GROUP GREETS COUPLE)
As we've seen in past dinner parties,
the group dynamic plays a big part.
And this is game on in the experiment now.
Every time a new couple comes in,
they've got to brace themselves, step into it and say here we are,
we're a strong couple.
They want to put across their best selves.
Hi!
Hi, hi, hi, hi! Mwah!
One of the great things about this dinner party,
having had the bucks and hens,
is that when they meet again, they can start to really talk about
what's going on for them.
They can reach out and lean on these people
that they've already met.
They'll be quite nervous around meeting other couples,
comparing where they're at.
'Comparisonitis' is going to set in tonight.
Exactly, he's so happy, he definitely...
Oh, hello! Hey!
Jessica and Mick.
They look very happy, very relaxed. They do, they do!
That was quite an entrance, too, wasn't it?
Still wearing those boots. He's still in his farm boots.
And his flanny!
He's got his uniform on! Oh, absolutely!
How's it going with her?
It's good. Yeah.
Yeah, nah, she's a heaps good girl. Yeah, she's bloody good.
Good on you, mate. Good egg.
She's not a bad looking sort of bird.
Bloody, yeah. Eh?
Tell you what, punching above your weight!
MIKE: I like Jessica.
She's a pretty little girl from the coast.
I was expecting some Jackaroo girl, Jillaroo, you know...
Walk out with a stock whip.
Right, right. 'Right! Here and now!'
I didn't want to mention the Botox on the lips
but she's clearly had Botox on her lips.
I'm not a fan of it but I find her a really attractive young girl.
Mick's awesome.
He's so funny.
Like, I mean, he's from the country.
He's wearing his work boots. I saw he's wearing his work...
That's the first thing I said to Michael!
I like that and that's his style... Did he wear them to the wedding?
No.
But he wore them on the honeymoon...
(LAUGHS)
I'm curious though, like,
I wonder who's got who.
Oh, yeah! Big Bron.
Big Sam. Big boys.
How about Matt? That's the biggest mystery.
(TENSE MUSIC)
What are you feeling?
Close to sheer terror.
Like, I really, really don't want to go in there.
I just...
It's making me all anxious and nervous
and this fear's crippling me the most -
it's that I don't know how they're going to react.
Yeah, unknown. Yeah, the fear of the unknown.
I'm quite anxious. I'm quite nervous.
There's a big part of me that doesn't want to do it.
It's putting me in that social situation,
where we're going to walk in, all these eyes are going to be on us
and the first question they're going to ask is,
'Did you guys do it? Are you still a virgin?'
Are you ready for this? Let's do it.
(GROUP CHATTER)
Oi-oi! Hi!
Matthew and Lauren. Oh!
Nice! Matthew and Lauren.
Hello, how are you, beautiful? Good, sweetheart.
How are you?
They look close as a couple...
They do, they do... ..which is lovely.
And really comfortable. ..which is such a relief, isn't it?
And why we put them together, because we knew Lauren
would be nurturing for him. Absolutely.
You're looking well.
You're looking happy. Yeah, I am.
I might just grab a drink of the hard stuff.
As we know, Matthew is highly anxious.
I mean, this is a big deal for Matthew,
because for a guy that's never been with a woman,
now he's in a setting with a lot of strangers
and some of them may ask him
whether he's had sex.
Are you OK? Yeah.
Yeah? Are you sure? Yeah, I'm positive.
Pinky promise. Pinky promise.
JOHN: Oh, that's nice.
Just made a little pinky promise.
They are so touchy-feely,
close together... What are you saying, Trisha?
They are a real couple. I think they've had sex.
I'll say it. Bold statement.
I'll say it. Yep. Bold!
MIKE: Hey, Matty,
how was the wedding?
It was really good. Couldn't have gone better.
OK...
Yeah, it just -
from strength to strength, it's... I love hearing this!
I know, it just - yep. Yeah.
He looks a man that's happy, yes?
How'd you go? I knew this question was coming.
I can lip-read. I can lip-read.
How'd you go, Matt? How'd you go, mate?
Have you let it out or what?
Is he gonna kiss and tell? Well, the boys are grilling him.
How's the romance?
Um...
Come on, man, give us something to chew on here.
(LAUGHS)
Kissed her?
Um...
(CHURCH BELLS)
(TENSE MUSIC)
How'd you go, Matt? How'd you go, mate?
Have you let it out, or what?
Is he gonna kiss and tell? Well, the boys are grilling him.
How's the romance?
Um...
Come on, man, give us something to chew on, here.
(LAUGHS)
Um... Have you kissed her?
Yeah.
Perfect. Good start.
That's where it starts.
Yeah. That's great, man.
That's great. She seems lovely.
Yeah.
I think I've sorted of deflected
the whole, you know, 'Did you guys do it?
Are you still a virgin?' question.
I was able to just sort of smile and nod my way out of it.
I feel like the night's still young
and it might still come up later on, but we'll see what happens, I guess.
Mmm.
Come here.
See that?
I've gotten you drinks... I just realised we suck at marriage.
(LAUGHS) What was that? What was that?
Anyway...
(TENSE MUSIC)
So are you going to talk to people about,
like, your ex-stripping and stuff?
Oh, all the boys know.
Oh, so that means everyone's gonna know.
I really wanna know if everyone got a hot husband,
because then I'd feel like I got fully ripped off.
Yeah, I wonder if people will do outrageous things.
Dunno. I guess a few beers
and a few wines, anything could happen.
Yeah...
I'm so bored.
Yeah, like, I'm not having a good time.
Like, it sucks.
If I had a husband that I liked,
I would be hooking up with him all the time.
Dinner parties are pretty dramatic.
Everyone just wants to know, like, everyone's business.
This is going to be interesting.
(GROUP CHATTER)
Oh, someone else.
Oh, Bronson!
JOHN: Ah, Bronson and Ines.
Ah.
Now, I'm really interested in this couple.
What's their connection like?
Yes.
Ines is very demanding,
has high expectations and has the big list, doesn't she?
Mm-hmm.
I wonder how he's measuring up so far.
Congratulations, Ines. Mwah, nice to meet you, darling.
Hi, how are you going? Nic.
Hi, Nic. Ines, mwah.
How are you, Ines? Hi,
Good. JOHN: So, Bronson and Ines -
thoughts? No, I'm not getting a vibe.
I'm not getting much here at all. No.
When they came in, it was very separate,
wasn't it? Very separate.
There's almost a stand-off-ish-ness about them.
How's your babe? Yeah, he's gorgeous.
Is he?
How's it going? How are you? Bronson,
like he never makes any effort to make me feel like I am a wife.
You guys are like a beautiful couple.
Thank you. Absolutely gorgeous.
He's like scared of me or something.
Like, in my eyes, I still feel single.
You can sort of tell my husband looks like a full porn star right?
Don't you reckon he looks like a porn star?
He used to - like, four years ago,
he was a stripper. Do you like that?
I feel like you could get into that.
You could totally play
that porn star girlfriend type. Do you reckon?
Yeah, just like...
I think everyone looks so good together.
And then there I am, looking over at my husband
and I'm just like, what happened here?
(LAUGHS) How's your night?
Everyone's fully hooking up with each other.
So funny, isn't it?
I feel a bit jealous.
If anyone is willing to donate me their husband,
I would definitely, you know,
like to have a discussion with them about it.
Yeah, it sounds like a really good plan.
Yeah, I'm into it.
Lizzie, my friend, is not here yet.
Oh, yeah. She'd be with Sam.
(GASPS) Which one's Sam?
Um, big, tall, handsome kid.
Oh, OK, great. OK. Why are we waiting?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I'm over it. I don't have a husband.
I don't know where he is.
It's just getting beyond the point of ridiculousness.
When I'm walking in,
alone, by myself, and the other couples are there,
I feel like the questions will be like, 'What do you mean
you don't know where he is?' I'll be like,
'There's been no phone call, there's been no text,
there's been zilch.'
(CHUCKLES)
Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
Hi! (GROUP GREETINGS)
Hello! Wait, she's by herself.
What the hell?
Where's her husband?
No Sam. Has she come in on her own?
Oh, my God, she's by herself.
Where's Sam?
Oh, no! Oh.
Oh, what is going on?
Is Sam the runaway bride? Yeah, what's the go?
He's a runaway.
No.
Oh, no, this is not good at all.
What a terrible thing to have to do,
to go into a dinner party on your own,
front up, answer the questions. Yeah, what's happened?
How are you? Are you good?
Yep.
Entering the dinner party alone,
not ideal.
Eh, you do what you gotta do.
Hey. Hi!
What happened?
I'm actually just really happy.
Seeing the girls after spending all that time by myself.
Did you have a wedding? I had a wedding.
What happened? He's gone.
Oh, my God.
Are you OK?
I'm OK, I'm OK. It's not what I expected.
No, of course not. You know, we're all here
to support you.
Well, the sisterhood is rallying around her...
Yes.
..and giving her the support and she needs that,
because that's such a daunting situation
to come into like this.
(LAUGHS) Why are you laughing?
Don't make me laugh, you evil bitch! Why are you laughing?
Because it's so soon!
How was it that bad?
I was thinking I had a few issues, but (BLEEP).
What happened to Elizabeth?
Is she divorced? Is she single? Is she married?
Like, where's her husband?
Yeah, Elizabeth should have stayed at home.
Why is she here?
Big Sam.
That's full-on. What's happened? Why? She looks like his type.
Guess we'll have to ask her.
Ah...
Sam was one of the boys.
JULES: Guys, guys, everyone...
Speech! Excuse me,
Lizzie just wants to have a big, open conversation.
Yeah. JOHN: Not a bad way to do it, is it?
Tell them all at once. I mean, there's nowhere to hide.
She's going to have to answer these questions
for the rest of the night.
And she's going to answer them
in her way from her perspective. Mm-hmm.
He's not here to defend himself,
so it'll be interesting to see how she tells the story.
First of all,
has everyone had a nice honeymoon? (CHEERY RESPONSE)
Everyone have a good honeymoon? How was your honeymoon?
No honeymoon. Ooh.
What happened? I think the wedding at first
was just a bit of a shock, do you know what I mean?
Did you feel that? You were just kind of like,
processing everything, taking it all in.
Then we went back to the hotel
and then next thing in the morning, he's just like, he's gotta go...
Because he had to go to a funeral.
When you first hear that, you're just like,
yeah, I'm like, 'Go to your funeral,' and then he's like, 'Cool,'
and he goes,
'It's overseas.' I'm like, 'OK.'
And then it was like, it's to do with his ex-girlfriend.
So it's his ex-girlfriend's mother who had passed away.
Yeah, then he just went.
And never came back? Never came back.
(QUITE GROAN)
Are youse together, or...
I don't understand. Have you spoken to him?
No contact,
no contact.
MEL: And that's the point here,
that he's fractured the relationship because he's just
stopped communicating. There's no contact at all, yeah.
So I reluctantly made a phone call.
I was like, 'I just hope you're OK,' and that was like...
Two days after. You shouldn't even have done that.
Babe, I didn't wanna do that. Do you know what, though?
The thing is... But you get what I mean - like,
I say you shouldn't have even have done that.
No, no, the thing is,
it's to do with the funeral, you've got to remember -
the bigger picture - it's to do with the funeral,
so regardless if he's going to end up being a piece of shit...
He is a piece of shit! But babe,
it's got do with the funeral. Maybe he's really at the funeral.
CYRELL: But was it really a funeral?
That's why I laugh. Was it really a funeral?
JOHN: Cyrell, not that good in going forward...
No. And at this point,
when you've just made this announcement,
you don't want advice.
No. You just want people in the group
to listen.
He's a dick already, I don't like him.
From when we met with Sam, he was pretty open.
He was definitely ready for love. He's ready to commit.
Babe, I'm gonna disagree with you.
He's 26 years old.
What makes him think he knows what he wants in his life?
You know what, honey, I think you can do better.
Look, you're gonna break up another relationship here, Liz.
NIC: Cyrell, you're assuming that it's not legit.
No. No? What,
you're not gonna talk to me? Why are you making this about us?
I'm saying if it's legit, then it's legit -
what are you gonna do? It isn't legit, babe!
How do you know? Alright, so a person -
I'm sorry, I'm sorry - a person magically passes away
that happens to be his ex-girlfriend
and he needs to fly across the country
just after they got married? I know.
Oh, my God. You can't - don't get angry at me.
What if he's telling the truth? I'm on your side, but I'm saying,
I'm not gonna blow up. Whatever, babe. Seriously, whatever.
I'm not gonna...
I'm just saying, I'm not gonna blow up...
Hey sweetheart, do you think he's coming back?
Sweetheart? Um...
Sorry. Do you think he's coming back?
I have no idea. I haven't heard from him.
I'd be pissed off.
100%.
(BELL RINGS)
Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is served.
Coming up, dinner serves up yet more controversy...
I wouldn't be surprised if this turned into a massive sex party.
..and more drama...
Why don't you pour yourself another (BLEEP) beer and (BLEEP) off.
..as the runaway groom returns to rock the experiment.
Oh! Whoa!
Oh, my goodness.
Honey, I'm home. (DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(CHURCH BELLS)
It's the night of the first dinner party...
It looks like amazing food.
..and our couples start to enjoy
their first meal together as a group.
What's this stuff here?
Do you want some of this one? Yes, please.
This looks really good. Just no olives.
No olives?
Thank you. Beautiful.
(DINGING)
Attention! (DINGING CONTINUES)
OK, right, OK.
Alright, I've been put in under the bus here, everyone.
I apologise for that.
I just thought we'd just throw out a lovely little toast
to every single one of us that's put ourselves out on the line here
and really simple, but wish you all the very best
on this incredible journey and lots of love and happiness
and let's enjoy this ride.
Even solo.
ALL: Cheers!
Cheers!
Cheers, guys, down there.
Cheers down there.
That got a big kiss from Jules, doing that.
Love to see that. Really lovely.
So he's the guy that looks after
the well-being of the group. Yeah.
And he's considerate, isn't he? He thinks of other people,
not just his partner, Jules, but other people we've seen tonight.
It's really nice.
It's really nice to watch.
It makes me excited about, you know, love stuff.
CAM AND JULES: Love stuff! Yeah, it makes my heart go...
(MAKES FUNNY NOISE)
(GROUP CHATTER)
(ROAR OF LAUGHTER)
Oh, my God. It's amazing! I have had the best night already.
(SQUEAKS)
(LAUGHTER)
Ah! It's so good seeing them all.
And I'm just so happy for all of them.
I'm so looking forward to the rest of the night.
I mean, yeah. Of course I am.
Woo!
NIC: What did youse do? Anything exciting?
I got to massage this sexy body!
What about you? Did you give her a massage back?
Sure did.
Anything happen?
Oh, look, I had to tell him about five times,
firmer, Matt, firmer! Too gentle.
I like it rough, you know!
(LAUGHS)
Take notes, Matt, yeah.
MEL: Isn't it lovely to see what's happening here
with Matthew and Lauren.
TRISHA: What a story of courage!
I mean, Matthew came in
really vulnerable to this experiment.
JOHN: Absolutely.
And it's working for him. Yep.
HEIDI: So tell me about your wedding,
when you first laid eyes on her,
your honeymoon, everything.
OK. I know, sorry,
but I'm straight to the point.
Did you straight away like her? Like, did you feel the connection
with her straight away? Yeah, straight away.
And you get along really well together?
Yeah, really well.
I feel like, you know,
the way things have gone tonight, I feel like feelings
are definitely growing.
Yeah, yeah,
I'm pretty smitten with Matt. (CHUCKLES)
We sort of balance each other out, which is kind of cool.
So nice. In what way?
She's a bit more bubbly and an extrovert
and I'm a bit more reserved and kind of like, you know,
I sort of cool her down and she fires me up sort of thing.
That's cool. Yeah.
It's just like tick, tick, tick.
That's awesome.
MELISSA: Hey, so babe, have you not heard from him at all?
Nothing, babe, nothing.
Wow.
I'm riding solo.
So when you tried calling him,
he didn't answer? Straight to voicemail.
I think you're gonna get a new husband, Liz,
don't worry about it.
I feel like this season's gonna be different,
like everyone's gonna be getting a new husband.
What?
(COUGHS)
Don't you reckon?
No, no.
I can feel it in the air, like... What?
I wouldn't be surprised
if this turned into a massive sex party.
No, you can't...
I'm not saying this is what we're doing,
like...
MIKE: Well, who's gonna do it then?
INES: I'm just saying, I get premonitions.
I can feel that this is gonna happen.
(GIGGLES) MIKE: Really? OK.
From what I can gather, it's as though you think
that there's gonna be wife swapping and husband swapping.
I'm already telling you,
there's gonna be a lot of wife swapping.
JOHN: That's pretty provocative.
TRISHA: So there's something going on for Ines.
She's projecting that
onto the group. BOTH: Mmm.
Maybe she wants it to happen. Mmm.
And her husband has no response. No.
Just completely ignored it.
If it happened, like if everyone was like,
let's have a mad orgy,
like, I wouldn't be surprised.
That's all I'm saying.
You're a little minx, aren't you?
You know? Anyways... (CLEARS THROAT)
But everyone's really quite dismissed it.
Maybe she did it to try and get some attention.
(INHALES) Anyways... (LAUGHS)
So what would you do if he showed up tonight?
Would you try to make the relationship work
or would you...
That's a really tough question, to be honest,
because remember, I've spent less than 24 hours with the kid.
Do you know what I mean? And you're already calling him kid,
so yeah, you've already... I've made up my mind.
MEL: He's completely ghosted her
after their wedding. Shut down the contact.
Absolutely. She's left with all of these questions,
doubting herself, understandably.
What if he came in here with his heart on his sleeve
and said, 'Look, I've screwed up and I'm really wanting
to make it work with you,
please give me another chance.' What would you do?
I'd be like, that's great, babe,
but this is what you've made me go through.
Look, this wedding band means I'm still committed to this
and I want to find out an explanation from him.
It's just hard when I don't know where he is
or what's happening with him.
And so you wouldn't? You wouldn't make it work?
It's hard.
JOHN: Well, I think what's happened
is that it's a huge injury to the relationship
and their attachment together.
For them to turn it around,
there'd have to be a huge amount of talking
and particularly from Sam and an understanding
of how he's hurt her.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC BUILDS)
Oh, hang on... (DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Oh!
Oh, my God, babe.
Whoa! Oh, no!
Look at this, look at this. OK, that's Sam. That's Sam.
Sam has arrived.
Oh, look who it is! How are you, mate?
How is everyone?
Oh, my God.
Honey, I'm home.
(LAUGHTER)
Oh, my goodness.
(CHURCH BELLS)
Oh, hang on...
Oh!
Oh, my God, babe.
Whoa! Oh, no!
Look at this, look at this! OK, that's Sam. That's Sam.
Sam has arrived.
Oh, look who it is! How are you, mate?
How is everyone?
Oh, my God.
Honey, I'm home.
(LAUGHTER)
Oh, my goodness.
How are you?
I'm back. Oh!
This is going to rev the group up.
Hello, ladies. I'll say hello to everyone. How are you?
MEL: What's she going to do?
Buckle up. (CHUCKLES)
(CLEARS THROAT) How are you?
(TENSE MUSIC)
Surprise.
I'm seeing daggers.
It's coming, her smile's coming. It's coming.
How are you, you alright?
I wanna hear your story first. My story? Oh.
OK, start from the very beginning. Where have you been?
Tell us everything. So, um,
basically after the wedding, I looked through the phone
and had a few messages and my ex had contacted me
and her mother had passed away
and I was very close with my ex
and her family and everything like that.
I thought, right - I had to do it and yeah, told Elizabeth.
Have you contacted Liz since... Good question. Was there any contact?
Was there anything, any contact towards...
I left a voicemail. On what?
Your mobile?
I don't have a voicemail.
There's no voicemail. I'll show you my phone.
I'll prove it. There was a voicemail.
I'll get my phone out and show you.
(RECORDING) Hello, you've reached the phone number of Samuel Ball.
Just leave your name and number and I'll get back to you
as soon as possible.
(BEEP)
The kid said he doesn't have a voicemail.
NIC: Had your back, Sam. Yeah? What was said?
They didn't believe your story.
CYRELL: Sorry, babe, I'm gonna say that I didn't.
I was like the devil in there. I was like, legit,
he dogged her. What was said?
Was I not coming back?
Yeah, but there's been no contact. There was nothing.
Because I was at a funeral. But it was more than just one day.
That's right, it's not one day.
A funeral's one day.
Yeah, but...
There was like no contact. There was nothing.
Yeah, well, I couldn't,
I didn't have your number
and I need it to contact you. Yeah, yeah, cool.
Geez, you're so mad.
What are you so angry for?
MEL: Is he really not aware...
(LAUGHS)
I'm just absolutely dumbfounded that he can be sitting there
eating his meal, completely unaware of the impact.
I'm very frustrated at the situation and you need to hear me out.
You need understand... Well, I'm not talking, so yeah.
Keep going, I'm listening.
What do you mean? I just feel like
it wasn't handled in the right way.
I feel like there should have been
some more communication. What, you feel like -
with the situation? Yeah.
TRISHA: He's not letting her speak.
He's just closing her down.
So what else were you thinking?
It's not something you can just say...
No, there's nothing I can just say at this point...
So angry.
You should relax, just breathe.
Really?
Yeah, definitely.
(MUTTERS UNDER BREATH) No need to be angry.
He looks pretty relaxed and happy.
Oh, totally. He's brushed it - there's no issue for him.
She's gotta calm down.
(CHATTER)
I reckon he's got a couple of kangaroos
loose in the top paddock. (LAUGHS)
Stop using all my sayings! Bazinga!
That is it, I'm outta here.
(GIGGLES)
So on a lighter note -
this is really cute. We've got some sign language
going on between Jess and Mick.
Yeah! I'm loving those two right now.
They're really bouncing off each other.
So if you take a quick look around the room,
we've got some good love stories happening.
Some good signs. Yeah.
So Heidi and Mike, they look comfortable
with each other, don't they? They look really at ease, these two.
Yeah.
Cameron and Jules.
We've got Martha and Michael.
Did you notice Ning's leaning into Mark?
That's a real level of comfort, there, isn't it?
Here, we've got Dino and Melissa.
Oh, they're a quirky couple!
Oh, they are.
Matthew and Lauren.
Lovely.
A growing love story there.
Yeah. Really lovely.
They're like this little beacon of positivity
in amongst the drama and the venom
that's being spat across the table.
I'm jealous of youse two.
You look so in love.
Matt's a beautiful guy.
He is like an angel
and I'm the devil in this relationship.
I can see that!
You are so the devil in this relationship.
I am taking control of this relationship.
And how do you feel about that? I love it.
(LAUGHS)
It's funny because a lot of people are comparing their relationships
to Matt and I.
I already knew that we had something special,
but to hear other people say it,
like it really puts things into perspective.
I think Matt and I have each other's backs
more than anyone else in this experiment.
Do you need some more water? I didn't want to, like,
just let all my frustration just come out and just have a go
in front of everyone. I don't really know you at all.
It's literally been, what, even less than 24 hours.
Do you know what I mean? So I'm trying to be respectful
of that situation. Yeah, definitely.
Because it was a pretty serious situation
that I went through, too. It was pretty emotional.
You gotta be... You know what?
The first thing I said to everyone when I came in here,
when everyone said, 'Why are you by yourself?'
Other people tried to tell me that you were bullshitting.
I said, 'There's no way he would be.' Bullshitting? Yeah, that's right.
I'm not attacking you. That's what I was trying to say before.
I'm going through my own issues and what I've actually dealt with.
I'm feeling really hurt
and I'm feeling really confused about the situation and honestly,
I feel like there's no respect towards me.
He doesn't even care. He doesn't even care,
and I feel like he's just defensive.
So are you willing to understand
where I'm coming from? I am,
that's why I'm listening. I'm a very give and take guy.
The thing is, as I said...
You don't need to keep talking over me.
You've gotta talk...
when you communicate, you don't talk over each other.
You've gotta just give each other time to talk.
That's what marriage is all about, so...
Which is what I'm saying!
You're not listening to what I'm saying!
If you're gonna talk like that... It doesn't seem like
you can follow the situation.
Oh, definitely, but you don't need to carry on.
You can just talk to me like a human being.
Do you know why I'm getting frustrated?
How old are you? We're adults.
Oh, that's a good one
to throw around. We are, we're adults. Let's talk.
I'm sorry, this isn't...
(CHUCKLES)
OK, are you just gonna laugh?
Well, you're carrying on a bit.
JOHN: The problem with these situations
is neither one is hearing each other. They're point-scoring.
It escalates.
Eventually, one of them is going to walk away.
I didn't want to have a go at you in front of everyone,
because I respected the situation
with what you had to deal with. You're doing
what you didn't want to do.
How?
You said you didn't want to have a go at me -
what are you doing?
All I'm seeing is a lot of hand movements and attitude.
Because obviously you can't understand words
or English. Ooh, OK,
alright, watch out.
Oh.
MEL: And now he's imitating her and belittling her.
So once you get to contempt, you're in real, real problems.
And I think that's what we're seeing.
You're being a bit of diva, so you should
just relax. A diva?
Well, I just think I'm talking to a brick wall right now.
Seriously, you can't understand when someone's being emotional
and had to deal with a week by themselves?
You're being ridiculous.
TRISHA: I can feel Elizabeth's frustration.
She accepted that he went to this funeral,
but she wasn't expecting no contact for a whole week
to a man she just married.
I think she was expecting some kind of apology.
There's no empathy here.
There's no understanding. No acknowledge of the impact.
What don't you understand about what I'm trying to say?
I do understand. Can you tell me what you...
It's just funny. What's funny?
That my feelings are being hurt?
And with his smiling, he's actually mocking her.
It's like pouring acid on the relationship.
Very difficult to turn it around from here.
You keep talking over me.
Because you're not making bloody sense!
You say don't raise your voice. I say I'm emotional,
and you're just like...
I'm just saying, we can talk like human beings.
Oh, my God. You are ridiculous. Like, seriously.
Come on, Lizzie.
Nah. I'm done.
(CHURCH BELLS)
(UPLIFTING MUSIC)
With the first dinner party of the experiment in full swing...
Anything else, anything at all! (LAUGHS)
Our couples are more comfortable
..socialising with the other newlyweds.
NIC: You know, it's very early days
and the honeymoon's just full of awkward.
You don't even know when to breathe around the person still.
Actually, I was like... Yeah, you don't even know
how to touch a shoulder, you're still awkward.
It's very early days.
CAM: Ah, so good.
Are you sleeping in the same bed? Yeah.
Good. Yeah.
Yeah, look, nothing to write home about but, uh...
Well, it's just like crossing the Nullarbor.
It's a long haul,
so, um...
Can't give up on her, can't give up on her.
You know...
Oh, like, see,
you've got the very edge.
So like there's the outskirts of your double bed,
obviously it's exaggerated,
so Jess is like here
and then I'm like...
You're almost coming off the edge there!
Sometimes - sometimes I sneak here
and then see the bloody...
Yeah.
(LAUGHTER) Then the bloody...
All over there and then like,
sometimes even like that sort of situation.
And then it'll be bloody all of a sudden...
You get a hit, you get a hit, so you get outta there!
JOHN: This is one of the key challenges
in the experiment, is how you navigate sex
and the pace of it with a new partner.
Yeah.
Good. Happy days.
(LAUGHTER)
(TENSE MUSIC)
Want some water, sweetie?
I've got water. Yeah, 100%.
I said I was going to come back, 100%.
Port Douglas? That's good.
Oh, mate.
New Zealand for you?
Yeah. (LAUGHS)
Nah, it was good.
This is not how I thought
it would go, though. No.
Are we missing something here?
It doesn't feel like he understands
the significance of what's happened
to the relationship.
I think she was hoping for some kind of explanation
and understand about what's happened but he's given her nothing, so...
Now she's going to get angry.
How do you feel?
I think the kid's disgusting.
The fact that he's just pushing my feelings aside
is making this even more of a big deal.
Honestly, you've left me speechless -
I don't even know what to say. You're just a dick.
I know. Like, (BLEEP) off, who are you?
She's grumpy.
Yeah, let her simmer down a little bit. She'll come round.
It's not even - like I said,
it's not even my fault.
Um, I think Sam, you know,
went to the funeral, had sex with his ex-girlfriend.
Like, you go missing for five days,
you couldn't make contact once? Who are you kidding?
Like I was saying, I'm not an arsehole, like...
I had to do what I had to do.
It just seemed really implausible
because you hadn't contacted her when you were away.
I mean, it's not like you're going to the Himalayas.
You're only in New Zealand.
And what, five days? I don't know. Look,
it didn't look good on paper. You know what I mean?
What do you do?
Let her be curious for a while.
She'll go through the motions.
Just cop it for a bit.
Do exactly what you were gonna do.
See, I would like it if she just forgave you,
but I'm quick to forgive.
Is that men, or is that certain individuals?
(GROANS)
Two men have gotten together and they've summed her up -
she's very unreasonable.
Yep. And now it's a fact.
What's really upsetting here
is the way in which Mike and Sam are generalising.
They're making the women wrong because they have feelings.
Yeah, it makes sense. Right. We're logical.
MEL: As a woman, it's very hard to combat
because no matter what she says, as a woman,
he's going to further pathologize her
and say, 'Well, you're just saying that
because you're overly emotional.'
So she's actually in a lose-lose situation.
If someone wrongs me
and they have a good reason for it,
I'm sort of like, yeah, alright, well that makes sense.
Alright, I forgive you. And sometimes I go, you know what?
I apologise to you, because I think I misunderstood.
INES: This is just so fun to watch.
Elizabeth is definitely too much for Sam.
She's a bit extreme.
Argh! I just go, aw, girl! Legit!
INES: I think, you know, Sam's attractive -
surely Elizabeth would have to know he's a playboy.
If I was Elizabeth,
I would have sex with him for as long as I could
before he left me.
I'm gonna sit back and watch what unfolds.
CYRELL: You're not happy, are you?
What did he say?
He's like, why are you raising your voice?
I said, 'I'm getting emotional.' He's like, 'Calm down, breathe.'
I said, 'Aren't I allowed to have emotions?'
So he's actually had the nerve
to turn around and tell you to calm down and relax your emotions
when he didn't even come to your honeymoon?
Oh, bitch, I hope you told him off. Are you gonna say something?
Don't you realise how they
turn around and put the blame on you?
You did nothing. I did nothing!
He's not been here after not seeing you
from your wedding day.
Go around then and talk to him.
You know what you need to say. You know what you wanna say.
Turn around and say 'I want to talk to you alone.'
Go.
Go around there and talk to him.
Don't put up with it.
(EPIC DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Oh, nice, yeah.
Can we go and have a chat? Oh, yes, yeah.
Yeah, I'll be back. I'll be back.
Um-mah! Good luck! (CHUCKLES)
(CHURCH BELLS)
(TENSE MUSIC)
Oh, nice, yeah.
Oh, yes, yeah, yeah. I'll be back.
I'll be back, no worries.
I'm honestly having a really hard time
processing my emotions right now. I'm actually really confused
and numb.
I need to sit down with him and be like,
this is what I've been going through.
Um-mah, good luck!
(CHUCKLES)
I will definitely - best believe me -
tell him how I've been feeling.
He needs to understand where I'm coming from.
(SIGHS)
So...
I just wanted you to hear me out - how I've actually been feeling.
I was kind of like,
what happens to me now?
I didn't realise that you'd be gone so long.
I honestly had no idea if you were even coming back.
I really need you to know that it hurt.
Yep.
I don't wanna be with anyone who's involved in their ex's life.
Yeah. I just wanted you
to acknowledge the fact
that the honeymoon was taken away from me.
It's been really hard. I've been really, really angry.
I didn't know what was going on.
I did leave a voicemail
and then there was nothing.
How can someone not consider the other person's feelings
in this situation? Getting really paranoid
in my own head and bringing up past relationships...
(VOICEOVER) Ugh, she won't stop talking.
What's the point in me even being here?
What's the point... (V.O.) It's a nightmare.
(V.O.) It's a bloody nightmare.
Did you get the voicemail that I left?
(V.O.) Kill me.
I didn't know what to do.
(V.O.) I'm just looking at her just going, oh, please stop.
Are you even wanting to be here?
Yeah, I definitely am.
(V.O.) (BLEEP) get me outta here.
Just imagine if the roles were reversed.
How would you feel about that?
(V.O.) How do I stop this?
I've given up a lot to be here.
(V.O.) How do I tell this girl to stop?
Did you ever, like,
when you were away just go, I wonder how she's doing?
Yeah, I don't know, I don't know. I'm just sorry.
(QUIRKY MUSIC)
Honestly,
I just want you to know that I'm sorry.
I have to be honest, I was not expecting you to say that.
OK, yeah...
Like... thank you.
Yep. (STAMMERS) That's...
That's kind of what I needed to hear first.
Yep, right.
Like...
I know I probably came across like a bit of a dick
when I walked in and whatever and I understand you're angry,
but...
That's just not - I'm not that guy.
I'm confused...
(QUIRKY MUSIC CONTINUES)
..as to what just happened.
I do understand now
where you're coming from and what you're saying.
I understand.
This has just done my head in.
Can I hug you? Is that alright?
Is that OK? That's OK.
I didn't expect Sam to be apologetic.
Like, it can't just be that simple and be like, 'OK, I messed up,
let's move on, I'll make it up to you.'
I'm just like, what's the catch?
(GRUNTS) OK.
You alright? Mm-hmm.
I didn't expect you to, like, apologise.
Of course I was going to apologise.
(CHATTER)
That crazy girl, what's her name? Sam and Lizzie.
Yeah, Sam...
In real life, he would never look at her, right?
You know, he's that hot, right?
He's that hot and he's that charming, he would...
Personally, I don't find him attractive.
I think he looks like a complete twit.
Oh, really?
Sam is like a hot guy, you know?
But I know a playboy when I see a playboy.
Yeah, I'm done with that stuff now. Yep.
We'll be alright.
I'll make it up to you. You happy now? Lizzie's back.
Happy? Excited? Happy? Happy? Yeah, I'm happy.
I think Elizabeth is kidding herself.
Like, absolutely kidding herself.
I hope so. What?
Happy days.
Hope so.
(CHEERY MUSIC)
MELISSA: I have had the best night!
It was so, so, so, so good seeing everyone
and I'm just so happy for all of them.
They are all so loved up.
And they've been matched perfectly.
So meeting Mike was amazing.
So, looking at him, if Jason Statham
and Bruce Willis had a baby,
that is him, right? Amazing.
Heidi's a hugely lucky girl.
Mike is a hugely lucky guy.
They're just beautiful together.
Cameron,
stop it! Like, you know what?
That is a six, or whatever they say in cricket.
He is an absolute six. He's a legend.
Those two, as a couple, beautiful.
I mean, the experts have outdone themselves.
So, OK, I'm just saying,
you two have everything in common.
Yeah! MARTHA: Thank you!
Like, isn't Martha just like the pinup,
you know, Greek goddess,
beautiful, house-mother
and then her match, oh, my God - like, his little manbun,
his gorgeous little cuteness.
Like, I said I want them to have my babies.
Right away. What a match.
So I've just been so entertained and been excited
to speak to everyone.
(LAUGHS)
Hi, babe.
Oh, dear, are you OK?
Nah, I'm not really.
I feel like I've missed a very vital part of this story.
So Heidi's partner
looked directly at Mick and I
and he was like, oh, that's so fake.
What's so fake? Mick and I.
Coming into the dinner party,
I did hear Mike say, 'That's so fake,'
or 'You're so fake.' It was something along those lines.
It was directed straight at me and I'm not just gonna sleep on it.
Like, I'm not gonna let this go.
Honey, could we have a conversation with you?
Yeah, OK.
I have to tell you,
I'm a little put out with a comment that was made earlier.
About what?
You sort of looked straight at me
and you were like,
'Oh, that's so fake.'
What? No, I didn't. Yes, you did.
No, I didn't. You did.
I'm sorry, what?
No, you definitely did.
Sweetheart, you're wrong about that. I tell you what,
there's nothing about you
that looks fake to me, OK?
So I wouldn't have made the comment.
I look at you and I don't see a fake girl.
I see a pretty blonde girl.
See them all the time.
You seem lovely.
Why would I make a criticism like that about you?
I'm not really too sure, which I why I brought you over.
Wow, this is confrontational.
Absolutely. Jess is hauling him in.
MEL: So what we're seeing with Jessika
is she's taken this one small issue
and blown it way out of proportion.
MIKE: I definitely didn't say it. Maybe you've misunderstood
what I've said. Yeah, I...
Yeah - I think, yeah.
Perhaps. And I'm loving how you're speaking up now, babe.
JOHN: And Mick's just sitting beside...
Yes. ..Mike right now
and...
He's not saying anything.
MEL: He's a non-confrontational kind of guy.
Can you give me the context in which I said it?
Should I draw like a diaphragm of where we were?
'Diagram'.
What did I say? What were the words? Like...
'That's so fake.'
And you looked directly at me
as you said it.
I wouldn't have said it.
I'm completely focused
on that girl up the end and my opinion of you is a high one.
Perhaps you heard me
say something else. Yeah, perhaps I have...
Know what I mean? That's all?
..I have, yeah, got it out of context.
Yeah, well, I don't want there to be a misunderstanding out there.
I'm glad we've solved this.
Let's stand up
and have a cuddle.
I didn't hear it, but yeah, I...
Yeah, of course you didn't hear it, honey.
Let's hug it out.
Let's hug it out. Come on.
Please don't take anything away from it.
Alright, good talk. Good talk. Thanks, hun.
I love how you stood up for me there, babe. Thanks.
I didn't hear it, darl.
I didn't hear it. I can't bloody
stand up for anything if I didn't hear it.
(TENSE MUSIC)
I am (BLEEP) upset.
Did she hear what she heard? Did she not hear?
Did he say it?
What do you do? I don't know.
(CHURCH BELLS)
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
I love how you stood up for me there, babe. Thanks.
I am (BLEEP) upset.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
What's this all about?
I do feel like she set him up there,
because that was not an occasion that he was going to rise to.
Did she hear what she heard? Did she not hear?
Did he say it?
What do you do? I don't know.
I'm upset with the fact that
you know how much I hate confrontation...
Yeah. ..and I've had to go and grab
your friend, who, you know, you sit there
and you have this great (BLEEP) banter with.
I told you I didn't hear it, darl. I know, but...
Like, it doesn't matter!
You should still be there for me
as a partner. I was there!
You weren't!
You sat there the whole time, looking at me
and looking at him, like,
'I don't know what we're talking about.'
(STAMMERS)
(SIGHS)
Like, I had to deal with that whole situation
on my own, babe, it's not fair!
Like, I didn't want to
I felt like you weren't even there for me as a partner!
I... (SIGHS)
I don't even know what you want me to say here.
I don't want you to say anything.
You know what, just don't worry about it.
Don't worry about it, Mick.
It's what it's like all the time.
Every time it comes down to something hard,
you sit there and you say,
'I don't know what to say! I don't know what to say!'
Why don't you pour yourself another (BLEEP) beer and (BLEEP) off!
(DOOR SLAMS)
JOHN: Mick loves to please everybody,
you know, he doesn't want to create waves
and this conflict
is very difficult for him. Yep.
And truly, he doesn't know what to say.
Yeah, he does.
How's it going?
I'm hating my husband.
I don't know whether
or something, I don't know.
I don't bloody know.
I'm upset that Mick hasn't had my back
in a sense where I would have his.
Like, if someone had said something nasty about Mick tonight
about, you know,
they hate his work boots or his flanno,
whatever, that's what makes Mick, Mick, right?
And if someone had said something to me
The fact that Mick's just sat there
with his hands back, going,
'I don't know what you're talking about, darl.
Pour me another beer.'
Like, it makes me look idiotic
Jules! Here's to my wifey!
To your wifey! To my wifey!
Mwah.
(LAUGHS)
I love that laugh.
I know, like Count Dracula
from Sesame Street. I love it, love it.
One, mwah-ha-ha-ha. Two, mwah-ha-ha.
No, when I'm laughing, you'll hear people in the background
going, 'One,
two, and I'm like, ha, ha, ha.
I'm like, to Mel, 'Don't ever change that,
because that's you.'
It's like a gaggle of Counts.
Like, yeah.
You do it better than me! (LAUGHS)
You do my laugh better than I can laugh!
Don't do that - like, you're making my laugh...
Everyone's had a go at doing my laugh
and it got remixed tonight.
How does it go, Cam? (IMITATES LAUGH)
Seven!
(ALL LAUGH)
I'm definitely going to come into the next dinner party
with a cape on, like Count Dracula.
So, you know...
You're so cute! ..gotta embrace the laugh. Yep.
You're so cute! (MUFFLED LAUGH)
NARRATOR: It's late in the evening
and as our first dinner party winds down,
Matt is still not off the hook
as the conversation returns to the bedroom.
I was interested about, you know,
you were talking about the love life,
You're kissing her?
MATT: As the dinner party progresses,
people keep hounding me about specifics.
'Did you guys do it? Are you still a virgin?'
I guess they're kind of fascinated by it.
They're curious and then they're also curious to see if, you know,
that's no longer the case. Um...
Are you at heavy petting?
Sweet.
We're at heavy petting, too.
Yeah. And is there chemistry?
Like, when you have kissing, are you like, yeah?
Yeah.
Good. (CHUCKLES)
You know what's great about Matthew right now,
it's that he's holding his own
in a social situation where he's getting grilled
and he typically hates
that situation. Yeah.
Proud of you, mate.
Look at the guns on this kid. What?
Can I touch them? It's just the shirt.
They actually do look very defined in that material.
It's just the shirt.
I'm enjoying looking at them.
They are. Nearly - watch out.
No, they are.
I got rimmed a new one out there.
You know,
I'm in the dog house
for something I didn't hear and I didn't back her up.
Bloody...
I don't get it.
I don't get it either. This is why I'm single.
I totally agree! Before this, yeah.
I've got no answers for you, either, so...
You were stuck. I don't know.
Like, you couldn't win. You're in trouble.
(EXASPERATED SPLUTTERING)
Well, a massive first dinner party,
wasn't it? I mean, what a night.
Exhausting. So much drama going on here.
What do you do? MEL: I think tonight
has brought up a lot of questions for us
rather than answers.
TRISHA: And we've got couples who are travelling really well.
(LAUGHS)
But we've also got couples who are really on shaky ground.
Which is going to make it really interesting
for the commitment ceremony.
Can't wait for that,
because we can ask some really hard questions
and get to the bottom
Commitment ceremony is going to be big.
I think tonight actually was quite dramatic. Like,
Jess attracts drama, whatever.
I wasn't expecting Sam to come back in
and rescue Elizabeth.
Oh, my God.
Sam - he's so hot.
There's no way them two are gonna build
a healthy marriage together.
Elizabeth, she's a liability in my eyes.
Do you carry on as husband and wife?
Or do you call it quits?
In the very first commitment ceremony...
I feel like he was tailor made for me.
..real love...
He's a great guy.
Struck gold.
I just, wanna touch him.
..is in the air.
But, big trouble...
..is brewing.
I don't wanna be here.
Well (bleep)off.
Oh my god!
I think Sam is used to getting what Sam wants.
So thanks for being a jerk, Sam.
How's the intimacy going?
I don't know how you put it delicately...
We really connected, and then, um...
Things have spiralled and now your communication style is appalling.
A tip from me to you...
..don't use language like that.
Don't speak about women like that,
if you want any chance of a relationship with a woman.
VOICEOVER: Married's first commitment ceremony.
Sunday at 7, on Nine.
(CHURCH BELL)
