NARRATOR: Previously,
the first commitment ceremony delivered romance...
I feel like he was tailor-made for me.
Like, I honestly do.
..revelations...
How's the intimacy going?
I don't know how you put it delicately.
We really connected, and then, um...
We just really connected, OK? (LAUGHTER)
..and raging drama...
What Bronson says to me, I really don't care.
..with Ines... Leave.
..trapped in her marriage with Bronson...
Well, she's gonna hate me.
JOHN: You're gonna stay.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
..and Sam...
I'm choosing to leave.
..forced to stay with Elizabeth.
I decided to stay.
Tonight...
We don't have a manual for this, Matt.
Do you mean the bed or married life?
..they're moving in together...
(LAUGHTER)
..but for some couples, the honeymoon is well and truly over.
Is there anything that you think you might have been responsible for?
Responsible for?
With marriages on the rocks...
Hopefully you won't think I'm such a crazy person.
I'm a forgiving guy.
I'm stuck here now. There's nothing I can do.
It's like a ball and chain.
..there's betrayal ahead...
He is so hot!
..and the impact on the experiment will be seismic.
Ines tried to contact me. It's a sticky situation.
Where do I go from here? I don't know.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Our newlyweds are embarking
on an exciting new chapter in the experiment...
Just such a gentleman!
Do you want me to help, or should I just...
No, you are gonna help. ..stand here and look pretty?
..as they face their biggest challenge yet.
Are you right? Yeah, yeah, no, I got it.
Yay! Hopefully.
Living together.
Here we are, Matt! Look!
Oh, this is awesome!
Oh! Oh, it's got our name on it! Oh, my god!
Oh, I'm so excited!
Melissa there...oh, my god. That's sweet.
This week's all about us,
and seeing if we can actually make this work.
They're all moving into the same building,
where each couple will have their own apartment -
a place to navigate the intricacies of married life.
Wow! Wow! Oh, don't!
How's the view on this joint? Oh, my goodness! Look!
This is our home!
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
You could swing a cat in here quite easy, can't you?
No!
I feel like Mick and I are really going strength to strength.
We're back on our little train,
and the destination's love.
So, we're slowly choo-chooing along. (LAUGHS)
And I am really excited for the future with Mick.
Why don't you stop horsing around and start unpacking, will you?
(LAUGHS) I am out of here!
Oh, look at this! Come here!
(LAUGHS) (SHRIEKS)
That's our first picture together! I know, right?
Hearing her say 'stay' at the ceremony last night,
you know, it brought us a bit closer.
Like, I'm feeling positive, and if we can iron out the creases,
then I think we'll be in a really good place.
Oh, my...no!
I look so fat! Oh, my god! Get it away from me.
Honey, you look gorgeous. You look absolutely stunning.
That is such a good photo! I love it.
Like, I absolutely love it.
I haven't lived with someone for... oh, ten years,
but it feels really right, it feels great.
Shall we see if the bed's comfortable?
Oh! (LAUGHS)
I'm just really excited to set up home with Cam.
Bang!
Yes!
Comfy? You bet it is.
Oh! (LAUGHS) There's the photo.
Oh, my god! (LAUGHS)
For 32-year-old Ning,
her wedding day got off to a rough start,
and the disappointment was written all over her face.
You look not happy.
I have, like, resting bitch face in that photo.
OK. I don't know why you look like that.
At our wedding, I wasn't happy,
and I feel like our wedding photos were just...
..you know, it just says it all.
He's 41.
He hasn't told anyone, apart from his parents and his family,
that he loves them.
Why? It makes me worried that he has commitment issues.
I don't want to waste time
on someone else that's just going to leave me.
I obviously look happy.
I'm obviously pretty happy with what's happened.
But since I've gotten to know Mark,
like, you know, we've just become really close.
So, I feel really bad that we can't sort of switch back the clock
and just do it again.
I reckon that, you know, we could both get in together.
You could wash my back for the first time in 40-odd years.
Oh, my gosh.
After a week in the experiment,
our couples have already begun to discover
new and exciting things about their partners.
Cheers to our new place. Cheers for staying.
But now it's time to go deeper.
Moving in and spending every waking moment together
will reveal a new side to their relationship.
I'm gonna make a shopping list.
Do we just do everything together? Yeah.
But you're gonna eat all my food. That's right.
It's gonna be an education for some...
Eugh! Feel them! It feels like a real animal.
Alright, give it to me.
It's not gonna go well with our vegan cleanse
that you're gonna be doing.
..but the hope is significant time together in close proximity
will help lay the groundwork for future marital success.
INES: Everyone else is moving into their apartments
together as a couple,
and here I am moving in by myself.
(STIRRING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
After Bronson humiliated me at the commitment ceremony
and brought out the worst in me yet again,
it's so obvious that Bronson and I do need a lot of space apart.
Since the wedding was... let me put it this way.
The first thing she said when she saw me walking down the aisle
was, "Take that (BLEEP) eyebrow ring out."
And she's like Jekyll and Hyde.
I never know what she's gonna be.
When she's great, she's great.
She's a lovely person. Really, really nice.
Next morning, the hook come out.
Straight back into (BLEEP) mode.
I'm, like, some of the stuff, I just wasn't ready for it.
Didn't you say that you wanted to have...swap partners?
We know you said that.
Shut up.
Excuse me?
What...what are you talking about? The orgy thing!
I nearly sat there going, "Jerry! Jerry!"
I mean, if anyone here wants to, like, give me their husband,
give it to me, like...
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
..I don't want him (BLEEP) touching me.
Do you reckon they're gonna survive it?
Um, no. No. No.
Not at all.
I feel like there's disastrous waters ahead.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
Thank you, mate. Have a good day.
Would I like to move in with a wife?
Of course, but at the moment, I don't feel like I have a wife.
I feel like I've got something completely different.
I think it's at the point now
where me and Ines' is the most toxic relationship
I've ever been in, or seen, or heard of.
I think the best thing for the relationship
is probably just not to be together
until we've talked to the experts.
Oh, I actually look really nice.
I feel like cutting this photo in half and just leaving myself in it,
because I look nice.
I would love it if Bronson could process what happened last night
and how he could improve as a person,
'cause if he thinks I'm the problem, he's so wrong.
Ahh. Oh, beaut.
No couch tonight.
The bed's an upgrade from the couch,
but I think I'm mainly happy that I'm not gonna go to sleep
and expect to wake up with a pillow over my face.
Um...yes, it's an upgrade.
Definite upgrade.
(UPLIFTING MUSIC)
For 29-year-old Matt,
moving in with a partner is something
he's been waiting his whole life for.
Let's do it. Let's head down under.
Never having had a real relationship,
I've never had the option to live with a partner.
We're officially husband and wife now.
Sure are.
It feels good. It's exciting. It's a bit daunting.
Like, this is a total first for me.
Like, a few days ago, I was still, you know, a virgin.
(GENTLE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
On their honeymoon,
Lauren blew Matt's mind as he entered uncharted territory...
Good morning. Morning. (LAUGHS)
..and finally lost his virginity.
It was just a beautiful moment.
I think it was worth the 29-year wait.
How are you feeling? Good.
Yeah, me too.
Loz is just amazing.
I just...I just wanna be with her.
Now I'm here.
I'm well and truly a fish out of water here.
It all kind of looks the same to me.
I'd be more of, like...
..that one.
I'm super excited to move in with Matt.
The relationship's going really well.
White's a very pure colour.
It's only fitting. We're so pure.
Matt and I banter a lot.
He just thinks I'm so funny, and it's great.
Never slept in a king bed before, so this'll be cool.
Mmm. I won't feel quite as, probably, pushed to the edge now.
Yeah, look, you know...
And when you spread out, I'll still be able to fit in.
(LAUGHS) You're killing me.
Can't wait to go back and make the bed.
Although it's move-in day,
for Liz and Sam, today means so much more.
Oh, I love it! Good.
The bar, look! Ohh!
Today is actually the first day of my experiment.
The first day, after all that time.
Elevator to floor 21. You picked it.
There you go. I picked level two.
(LAUGHS) It's all good.
Other couples have done their honeymoons.
They're well into the experiment, and it's literally my first day.
No buttons or anything. Just automatic.
I made a harsh decision last night.
I don't want to waste her time or mine.
I'm choosing to leave.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
Ahh, this is hard.
If I was to say 'stay', I'm not going off my heart.
Like, I don't feel it. I don't feel the connection.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
And I know we don't know each other that well,
but I wouldn't disrespect you like that.
We have arrived.
I did want to leave, but she wanted to stay.
I'm here for a week, regardless if I want to be or not.
This is us. Cool.
He doesn't want to be here, so it's awkward,
but I'm, like, I just let it happen.
Just let it happen. Sorry, Sam.
I'm stuck here now. There's nothing I can do.
It's like a ball and chain,
so I've gotta stay here and just go along for the ride.
Oh! Look at this!
Oh, my gosh! It's huge!
A couple of days ago, I was, like, I couldn't speak to him.
I was just like, "I can't be anywhere near you."
I like it. Oooh!
And now I'm just like, "Yeah, cool. There's Sam."
Oh, my god, that...no, I can't!
Eugh!
(LAUGHS) I was like, "What the (BLEEP)?"
I don't even want to have a look at it. I can't.
Why not? I can't! I don't know!
You look amazing.
Look at your dress - your dress looks beautiful.
You killed that. You did a good job.
To be honest, I'm surprise that Lizzie's being so happy.
Can I actually have this section? Yeah.
You like that? It's beautiful.
Thank you. I like your work there.
The way she's acting since we walked in the front door is different.
She's being more bubbly.
Hopefully you won't think I'm such a bloody crazy person.
(LAUGHS)
You'll be like, "OK, she's half-alright."
She's showing a side, I guess, which is a bit more loving and caring.
It's not just screaming at me at the table
or you know, just talking over me with the experts.
I am very sorry with how I behaved.
I just wanna give a chance
so you don't think I'm such a bad person, basically.
That's OK.
Sorry. I'm a forgiving guy.
I'm happy that she's doing that,
'cause that's gonna give us a real chance to open up to each other
and have the best experience possible,
and see where this goes.
Coming up...
INES: He is the problem. I'm not.
..will emergency therapy...
How did you feel about your behaviour?
With Bronson?
..finally bring Ines and Bronson together,
and later...
What's something about you
that most people find surprising when they learn?
..can ex-virgin Matt handle Lauren's bombshell?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
OK.
(UPLIFTING MUSIC)
NARRATOR: Today marks a major milestone for our couples.
Wear your jocks to bed. MARK: OK.
Keep your tackle in the tacklebox,
and I'll keep my tackle in my tacklebox.
It's a chance for them to explore different routines...
(LAUGHS)
This isn't normally part of the routine, but I can do it.
..different belief systems...
This is all we're gonna be eating, babe, for the next two weeks.
Ahh. Some kale.
What's that?
..and different ways of being...
It's called a damru. A what?
Damru.
Oh, the damru. Right.
..while working towards one common goal -
falling in love.
How exciting.
For 38-year-old Heidi and hubby, Mike,
that may well be on the cards.
After the commitment ceremony,
I'm feeling more positive than I ever have.
You feel like you're on top of the world.
It feels lovely and easy and fun.
And I just... I just want to touch him.
I'm glad that she wants to touch me. I mean, that's a good start.
(GENTLE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
It's so much fun!
I just want to get set up and just make home. It's so good.
What you doing, Heids? Just putting my clothes away.
What are you doing?! (LAUGHS)
The last time I lived with a partner was years ago,
but I think we're good.
I'm really excited about this.
Alright, get back on with it.
(SIGHS)
While Mike and Heidi keep growing closer...
(MELANCHOLY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
..Ines and Bronson couldn't be further apart.
INES: Bronson and I have to go do couples therapy
because of what happened at the commitment ceremony.
It would be a massive step if we could be in the same room together.
I hope it gives Bronson some insight
into how much of an issue he actually is,
because obviously he is the problem.
I'm not.
BRONSON: I'm looking forward to couples therapy.
I'm hoping for, at least, some clarity
about where it went wrong.
That's the lower end of the scale, what I'm hoping for.
The higher end of the scale is obviously a reconnection.
I'm here to give 110%. That's what I'm here for.
Marriages are worth fighting for.
Hello. Here they are.
Hi. Hello. Ines, good to see you.
Nice to see you. Come and grab a seat.
Good to see you, mate. Big fella. There we go.
Alright!
Well, we're here today because after the commitment ceremony,
and the way in which you were talking to each other,
what we decided was to reach out
and kind of debrief about what happened.
Yep.
But also how you're talking
and what we can do about it to give you guys a better chance.
If we go to that fight that happened at the commitment ceremony...
..what do you think, really, were the triggers for all of that?
Um, not being able to talk about it, I guess.
The first opportunity I had to talk to someone at all was with you guys.
You kind of had bottled it up to some degree?
Mmm.
Because it went from zero to 100 very quickly.
I don't think I have been bottling it up.
I think I've maybe been quite vocal.
I just felt highly attacked...
..and obviously highly degraded and disrespected,
and just the fact that Bronson waited then and there
to expose all of this stuff before I even heard it.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
So, you have this different style.
You're kind of keeping it in,
you're getting it out on the table immediately,
and at the commitment ceremony,
it kind of got thrown in your faces immediately.
Yeah. Mmm.
How did you feel about your own behaviour
in the commitment ceremony, the way you talked to each other?
I felt disgusting.
I think we could have handled it a lot better.
I could have used a lot better words to describe how I was feeling
or how I thought she'd been treating me.
I should have used a lot better vocabulary.
And I'm sorry I used that language.
Ines, how do you feel about what you've heard from Bronson
with his apology?
Um...'sorry' is a word.
Actions can speak a lot louder.
Bronson will have to show me with time and actions
that he actually does, you know, respect me.
Going back to you, how did you feel the commitment ceremony was,
and how you acted during that?
It happened.
How did you feel about your behaviour?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
Yeah, I mean, it all happened so fast.
Like, I don't even think I was conscious at the time.
But if you look back on it now...
..is there anything about the commitment ceremony
that you felt bad about
or that you wish you could have done differently towards Bronson?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
I don't want him (BLEEP) touching me.
I don't want him in the same room as me.
I mean, if anyone here, like, wants to give me their husband,
give it to me.
Um...
Is there anything that you think you might have been responsible for
in terms of the way it went down?
'Cause it got pretty ugly.
Responsible for?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
With Bronson?
Yeah.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
No.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
JOHN: Is there anything at the commitment ceremony
you think you might have been responsible for
in terms of the way it went down?
'Cause it got pretty ugly.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
Responsible for?
No.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
Is there anything you regret saying to him at all?
I don't regret anything.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
I just...I'm honestly finding it really hard
to empathise with this situation,
because I feel a lot of it was Bronson's doing.
He needs to be more responsible for his actions.
Well, what he's tried to do today is to say sorry.
We're not getting that from you.
Why do you think that is?
I'm honestly not the type to say sorry
unless I feel genuinely sorry.
I'm not just going to say sorry
just so we can, you know, get past it.
It would be lying to Bronson.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
I'm kind of getting that.
You've come from a pretty volatile background.
Mm-hm. A refugee, yes?
And have had to really rely on yourself, correct?
Mm-hm.
You've suffered a lot of loss in your life, Bronson.
All in a fairly short space of time.
Now, when you're faced with those real big adversities,
you either crumble, or you stand strong and you push forward,
and you two have the ability to stand strong.
Now, Ines, is it hard for you to let people get close to you?
Um...well, I'd never really had a strong family.
So, I've always had to, you know,
rely on myself to get through anything.
I never had emotional support.
Yeah, I always just felt I had to protect myself.
You know, it's hard work, having to protect yourself all the time.
So, this is a default position for you.
OK, so, if I turn to you, Ines, and I say,
"Tell Bronson just a couple of things that you need from him,
"moving forward in this experiment,"
what would they be?
I need some fun and some laughter.
Like, I'm one of those people where, I, like...I laugh at everything.
So, I think we just need to have fun.
Yeah. Yeah.
What about for you, Bronson?
What do you need from Ines, moving forward?
Um, I guess more honest communication.
If I said something wrong, let me know...gently.
Please let me know gently. Ahh!
OK.
That's big, that's big for both of you.
Yes, yes.
'Cause you're both guilty of really harsh language
and really harsh tone.
If you can do it gently, much better.
Yeah, I can take gentle criticism. I can.
Now, I gotta hear from you guys whether you're in or out,
whether you're prepared to do some heavy lifting.
I'm 110% in.
I'm here for the long haul. I really am.
That's what marriage is.
What about you?
I'm definitely prepared to do some things.
I'm not entirely sure that you're on board with this.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
I am fully committed.
(UPLIFTING MUSIC)
Back at the apartment complex...
MATTHEW: Alright, so, what's the trick to this?
..ex-virgin Matt is experiencing some more firsts.
How's about this marital bed-making?
I can't work out which side goes with what.
Never having had a relationship,
I've never lived with a partner before.
This is complete uncharted territory for me.
No, I think we've got it round the wrong way.
Living together is gonna be a total test.
We've been in the honeymoon bubble,
and I feel like we're gonna probably see things about one another
that we weren't expecting.
I'm more scared about this than the wedding.
We don't have a manual for this, Matt.
Do you mean the bed or married life?
'Cause I think... Oh, god. Both.
I am nervous. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't.
You really do see every side to one another when you're living together.
You know, your true colours will show.
Do you need a hand? No, I got this.
I'm an independent woman.
So far, it's been smooth sailing,
but I just hope he can handle it,
because I like being a bit spontaneous.
That's a very becoming look.
Thank you. I put this ensemble together myself.
I thought white was my colour, you know, being pure and all.
I can be a bit much sometimes,
and he's definitely shy and nervous,
but I'm hoping that by living with me, he will...
..I'll get him out of that shell even more.
Ahh, goodnight.
(LAUGHS)
(UPLIFTING MUSIC)
Now they've settled in,
it's time for the couples to negotiate...
What side of the bed do you sleep on?
Whichever side I like.
..their first night living together.
This is my side, 'cause I wanna wake up and be next to the mirror.
(LAUGHS)
Goodnight. Night, darl.
Things are going well for some...
This is so fun. You enjoying married life?
Yeah, I kind of just want this to be my life.
..for others, they're just trying to make it through the night.
It's up to you, 'cause I'm happy to sleep on the couch,
you know, 'cause I feel like I don't wanna...mmm.
It's just a bed. It's whatever you want to do.
Whatever you feel comfortable with, Sam.
If he wants to sleep in the bed, he can sleep in the bed.
I'll be there too, though.
As long as you don't... we'll be right.
If I don't what? Stab me.
Why would I stab you?!
I don't wanna wake up with a (BLEEP) in the neck.
No, it'll be right.
There won't be no cheeky spoons happening.
(LAUGHS) We'll be alright.
Only on Friday 13. No, no. OK, good, good. Alright. Happy days.
(STIRRING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
As for Ines and Bronson,
they're still going it alone in separate apartments.
INES: I'm definitely disappointed.
I did come here to fall in love with someone,
and I did make a commitment to Bronson...
..but I have been thinking about another husband.
Obviously, that's Sam.
Like, he's hot.
If Bronson can change his ways,
I might stop thinking about someone else...
..but Sam's so hot, like, I don't know if I will.
NARRATOR: A new day...
Did you have a good sleep? Like a baby.
..and our newlyweds are still settling into married life.
I look like shit.
You look beautiful, darl. What are you doing?
For some, it's domestic bliss...
I'm just marking out my gym classes to go to.
Have you done Zumba before?
Couldn't believe that I have!
(LAUGHS)
..but for Cyrell and Nic...
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
..last night was marital hell.
Cyrell's literally just packed all her stuff and gone.
What are you leaving for?
'Cause I want to.
What - you've had enough?
You're the one turning around saying, "You know, (BLEEP) off."
I'll (BLEEP) off.
Last night, Nic and I went out for dinner.
As we were walking off home,
he turns around and he says,
"I don't like public displays of affection."
All I said was I don't like holding hands in public.
That's it.
This has come out of nowhere. Done nothing wrong.
The one thing he turned around and had an argument with me about
was that I wasn't affectionate enough,
and told me he doesn't like public displays of affection.
Which one is it?
So, that's it? Just like that, you're leaving?
You obviously didn't care about me, then, did you?
Oh, like you care either.
So, let's just, like, sort it out before it even gets there.
And that's why you're happy to just leave, and just go like that?
She was sort of, you know, getting a bit fired up.
I got fired up back.
What do you want me to do?!
You're telling me you want to leave,
you've had enough, you want to go home.
So, what do you want me to do? You want me to keep you here?
He goes, "Well, why even bother waiting until the morning?
"Why don't you just (BLEEP) off now?"
You think I'm gonna stay if my partner
straight away is turning around and saying (BLEEP) off?
(BLEEP) that shit.
I never told you to (BLEEP) off.
I said you can (BLEEP) off, you can go.
You're supposed to turn around and tell me to stay
and say you wanna fight for this!
You're not supposed to just turn around and tell me to (BLEEP) off!
If you're willing to walk away, then, you know, (BLEEP) off.
That's what I told her.
I'm not gonna sit here and stop you.
If you told me to (BLEEP) off, I will show you I'll (BLEEP) off.
I'll (BLEEP) off like I never even appeared in your life!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
After what happened, I really don't know if she's coming back.
Heated arguments are often struggles for control in relationships,
and living together for the first time
will bring out more of these power struggles.
Hey, darl. WOMAN: Yeah?
Look at this that just come under the thingo.
In this experiment,
we accelerate the process of traditional marriage.
Some couple can take years to establish boundaries around control.
My name first or your name first?
Your name's first, which means you get to read it.
Oooh, 'cause I'm number one.
So, we've designed a task that will test our couples
and enable them to step out of their comfort zones.
"Dear Sam and Elizabeth,
"we hope you are settling into your new apartment as husband and wife."
"For the next phase of the experiment,
"we're setting you all a very important task
"that will test your adaptability and relationship."
"And for some of you, your willingness to relinquish control."
(GASPS)
I don't like that. I need all the control.
I don't like it already.
Oh, my god. It's time for Yes Week.
Oh, no. It's time for Yes Week.
"For one of you, it's your time to take complete control for the week."
"From the moment you wake up
"to the moment you go to sleep,
"you're in charge of everything."
"This includes what you do,
"and what your partner eat, wear, where you go..."
What you wear? "..every minute of the day."
What we wear.
Oh, my god. You're wearing just a dicky bow.
(LAUGHTER)
"In charge this week is Heidi."
What?
"In charge this week is Matthew"?
(LAUGHS)
"In charge this week is Mark."
Dino. Oh, I can't do it!
I'm not wearing booty shorts and stuff like that.
Like, do not dress me up like a ho.
(LAUGHS) I'm not going to! Bloody galah.
Yes Week will test our couples in two ways.
Firstly, how one partner behaves
when given all the control and power.
"In charge this week is...Elizabeth."
Arggh!
And secondly, how the other reacts to losing it.
Mmm, I... (EXHALES)
Who can I talk to about this?
I feel like the experts have given me control over Yes Week first
just because I feel like I've been in the doghouse.
Like, I've had no idea what's going on.
This'll be cool.
Yeah, it will. Yeah.
Mmm. I'm happy.
So, I just, like, yeah, I just wanna make him suffer a little bit.
I'm worried. Don't worry.
I'm extremely worried. It'll be good.
But I also just want to get to know him,
but suffer, but get to know him.
Where are you gonna start?
OK, so, first day. Yeah?
It's gonna be really fun... Yeah.
..for me.
Not for me, obviously. (LAUGHS)
I want to give Sam a little taste of insanity,
which I had to go through for quite a substantial amount of time
when he was away.
I just want him to, like, feel where I was at at that point.
I'm actually gonna go out, and... Oooh!
What do I do? Um, you stay here.
You're not allowed to go out at all. Yeah? Alright.
Just stay here all day. Oh, my god. OK. All day. Alright.
Just sit there. No TV.
That's gonna kill me. It's like jail, eh?
Yep! Far out! Oh, far out.
You're gonna have a ball, though. I'm gonna have a great time.
Some people might say I'm a smiling assassin,
but, um... let's have fun with it, eh?
Have fun. Lovely.
(LAUGHS) Adios!
(LAUGHS) Adios.
Far out. I'm gonna go insane.
I think Elizabeth wants me to do this
because she's obviously been staying inside the whole past week
while I was gone away at the funeral.
I'll go insane today.
(GROANS)
I hate this.
This is (BLEEP).
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
But one couple can't start Yes Week.
Cyrell and Nic haven't spoken since their midnight argument.
NIC: Having her not be there last night was, yeah, pretty sad.
You know, bit of a shit night.
You told me to go.
You told me you were leaving, so I said, "Go."
You told me to pack my things and (BLEEP) off now.
You told me...this is not gonna be a back-and-forth thing.
You said to me you had enough.
I am scared that I'm gonna get hurt
by someone that I thought would love me.
I don't want you to go,
but if you're happy to just walk away like that over nothing...
No, it's not over nothing.
Well, over something that, you know, you're not gonna try and deal with.
You're telling me it and then you're just gonna leave.
I think I just... I wanna hear the right words.
(MELANCHOLY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Spending time apart makes you realise how you feel about someone.
I don't wanna lose her, and I'm glad that she did come back.
You just tell me to leave so easily.
You told me you were leaving.
(CRIES) I don't care... I want you to turn around
and say that you cared enough that you'd wanna stay!
Did you mean it last night when you said you don't have feelings for me?
Why would I tell you at the ceremony
that I'm scared of this whole thing and care about you?
I've got feelings for you, I...you know,
you said you don't have feelings for me, but I hope you do.
I think I just really need to just let my guard down
and start believing it.
I don't...god, go, go, go!
(LAUGHS) Don't laugh!
(LAUGHS) Come here.
(GENTLE GUITAR MUSIC)
There's things that we obviously need to work on
that we haven't quite gotten through yet.
So, yeah.
Let's go get my stuff. Can you help me?
Can I have a kiss?
Alright.
The reason as to why these issues occur
is because I just don't have that trust or belief in him just yet.
So, I need to start doing that, I really do.
I'm home. (LAUGHS)
Oh, deja vu.
Oh, look how beautiful this place is.
(LAUGHS) Oh, my god. Look at this.
Coming up...
He is so hot.
..Ines and Sam start a dangerous game.
She wants to meet up in the sauna, and, "Come over, bubba."
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
Plus, a revelation...
OK.
LAUREN: You don't know the half of me yet.
..that leaves Matt speechless.
I don't know what to ask now.
(STIRRING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
NARRATOR: After their therapy session with John,
Ines and Bronson have continued to live separately
in the hope it will mend their troubled relationship.
INES: My life sucks right now.
Um...yeah, like, it just sucks.
Like, I'm alone in this house.
Having the chance to sit down with John was good,
but I would way rather be alone than be with Bronson,
because the relationship is so toxic at the moment.
So, time apart is really beneficial for us.
BRONSON: I think separation is great for a relationship.
I think you can't be in each others' pockets all the time.
Couples therapy with John
has definitely helped us out in the right direction.
I want to have fun with Ines.
I want to enjoy life and have great memories,
and from there, work towards something more special.
I'm not ready to give up just yet.
I know I said to John that I'm gonna take this opportunity
and give Bronson a chance,
but I'm still thinking about Sam, and I found him on social media.
He is so hot!
It's crazy! Like, he is stunning.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
I feel like I was supposed to be matched with him.
Like, I'm serious.
Like, I think he would make me a lot more softer and just happier.
I know Sam's unhappy, I'm unhappy.
So, I was like, you know, why not go for it?
So, I sent him a message.
So, hopefully he texts back,
and, you know, we can get a bit flirty.
(GENTLE PIANO MUSIC)
(LAUGHTER)
Lovebirds Jules and Cam are about to embark on their first Yes Week task,
and Cam is in charge.
You wanna know what you're doing for your first Yes Week challenge?
Yes. (LAUGHS)
Did you take a big sigh?
I did. My heart just missed a beat.
Embrace every little bit of it.
Alright. Come on, hit me. What is it?
We are going to an indoor cricket centre
and I'm gonna teach you all there is to know about cricket.
What a joy!
Joy.
Yeah. (LAUGHS)
No, it'll be fun. It'll be fun.
What are you most nervous about?
I am a WAG, so I may as well learn what the sport's about.
Cricket is obviously Cam's passion, it's his life.
I'm gonna have to get used to it, aren't I?
So, I may as well learn what's actually going on.
Great.
Here we go - indoor... (LAUGHS)
Are you OK? Oh, come here! (LAUGHS) You did it!
Cricket has always been a huge part of my life,
but in the past, I've sacrificed love and relationships for cricket,
and I regret it.
The nets are so the ball doesn't go outside.
I want Jules to see my love and passion,
but I don't want cricket to get in the way of our relationship.
Here you go. Here's your shirt, baby.
OK. That, I can do.
My cricket knowledge stands at probably,
I don't know, two out of ten.
We gotta protect your best feature, your beautiful face.
Oh, thank you.
Like, I know you hit a ball and run back and forth, and that's about it.
It's all in the hips.
Do you do this to everyone? It's all... (LAUGHS)
And then someone says, like, "Over," or something.
Good shot, honey!
Coming in.
Good shot!
Babe, you have got some hidden talent there floating around.
Do I?
It's amazing to have Jules embrace a passion of mine.
Coming in.
Oh! Check me out.
In terms of our relationship,
I think it strengthens it up completely,
and I love that about her.
Someone sign her up, please. This is unbelievable striking.
Whoo!
To be honest, I probably won't tell him
that it's something I would do again, happily,
'cause I actually really enjoyed it.
Alright, let's see what he's made of.
You ready? (LAUGHTER)
Oh! (LAUGHTER)
Whoo! (LAUGHTER)
It was a really fun experience to do together.
(LAUGHS) Yeah, he's pretty good.
Cam's definitely bowled me over. Everyone knows that.
You can tell by my face Cam's bowled me over.
He's incredible.
Oh! That's my man.
Absolutely amazing! Good job.
Absolutely amazing!
(CHAOTIC INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Back at Liz and Sam's apartment, Sam is getting cabin fever.
SAM: Elizabeth made me stay inside all day.
I'm trapped in here.
It's a small little apartment. I'm going insane.
(HORSE NEIGHS)
(BIRD TWITTERS)
I'm pulling my hair out, for sure.
Ahh! Chica, come here!
What are you doing? How are you?
While Sam keeps doing time, Liz has a heart-to-heart with Cyrell.
Was I really horrible to him at the commitment ceremony?
Be honest with me.
I'll be honest with you, like, I understood your fury...
I feel like I've been put through absolute hell
and I didn't want to be in this position.
I feel like he's completely egotistical.
He doesn't understand any of my perspective.
I don't think he's a nice person at all. I think he's quite horrible.
..but when he sat down and he said what he had to say,
I've gotta admit, I felt for the dude.
If I was to say 'stay', I'm not going off my heart.
Like, I don't feel it - I don't feel the connection.
And I know we don't know each other that well,
but I wouldn't disrespect you like that.
Like, I don't feel it.
(STIRRING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I feel like he is putting effort and I feel like...
And he keeps getting pushed back
No, but at least you're realising.
(LAUGHS) What are you laughing... what is it?
I'll tell you what I've done to him today.
I'm out with you, enjoying this, and he's, um...
..I left him on the couch, and he has to sit there all day,
and he's not allowed to watch TV.
Your husband is in the dog mess.
Like, honestly, what he did to you was a dog act, but he's not a dog.
You know, like, that is cruel.
You're gonna make him think
that you got him to stay just to torture him.
I'm an idiot.
Yeah, I'm a bitch for me to turn around and say,
"You (BLEEP) up, you (BLEEP) up."
I'm an idiot.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
SAM: I had time to sit on my phone
and see that Ines tried to contact me on Instagram.
She said hello, with a little chicken hatching out of an egg.
So, I don't know what that chicken's supposed to represent,
but maybe it's her, I'm assuming.
So, she's coming forward and saying,
"Hello, surprise, it's me," so...mmm, it's interesting.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
I think Ines has definitely reached out 'cause we both said leave.
So, she's probably just jumping on the opportunity to get to know me.
I don't think Elizabeth's attracted to me.
Ines is more a girl I would go for in the real world.
The temptation's there.
Give it a chance. You said stay, right?
And I said stay,
and I've been messing things up, even though I said stay.
Like, we need to change that.
He's actually...he's... He's decent.
..he's a great guy, he's a good guy.
Do something for Sam, then. Show him you care.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
I thinking about accepting and seeing what she has to say.
I'm quite curious, to be honest.
You have time, Liz, to fix it.
I'm gonna hug him and say I'm sorry.
Oh, my god. Really?
Yes, 'cause I am.
You are? I am really sorry.
Liz, that's so good if you do that.
(SAM INHALES) I don't know, but I think I'm gonna allow it.
Have a little glimpse of what she's got to say, I don't know.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
NARRATOR: After an explosive start to the week,
Cyrell and Nic are living together again
and have put the past behind them.
I'm home. (LAUGHS) How was it?
Yeah, it was good! I had fun with Liz.
Yeah? I think I needed that girls' day.
Yeah, we kind of, like... we both, actually, did admit
that we haven't exactly been the perfect wives.
I got a few things in store for you too.
(LAUGHS) I got a few things in store...
Is this payback?
What's that?
(LAUGHS) I've got a... I've got a little jar for you.
What is that?
A little snappy jar.
You know, it's pretty much like a naughty jar.
If you, you know, get angry, get moody, yell at me, swear at me,
there'll be some punishments.
First of all, I don't snap.
That's...well... (LAUGHS) I don't snap.
I don't think I... (LAUGHS)
You've snapped in the past, alright?
That wasn't even snapping yet. You haven't seen me snap.
Well, it's an angry jar.
Whatever you do that gets you upset...
When I get angry? Yeah. You're getting angry now.
I could probably put one in there for that -
that attitude, that lip...the lip pout.
There is no attitude, I'm just saying I don't snap.
I nearly put one in for that.
Yeah, anyway, what's the rules?
Look, that's snappy... see, that's the attitude.
See, look? Straight away.
I might actually put one in for that.
No, you're not! No.
Nic, I'm listening to the rules!
You can't do that! That's cheating!
You're getting angry already.
I'm not getting... Open her up. Open it up.
Honey, I'm laughing!
That's...no, put it in. I swear, I'm laughing.
You've just gotta open it, follow the rules, or they'll be...
You want two?
She got a bit sooky and whingy about it all.
So, that's it. Bang! Straight in there.
I'm snapping, like, laughing.
Good to have one in the bank already.
As much as I want to chuck that snap jar at his face,
I do have a tendency to just snap over the smallest things.
So, yeah, I'm gonna have a go with this
just to prove that I am gonna be the best wife there is.
We gotta kiss on it.
Promise you're gonna follow the rules?
I promise I'll be good.
Are you sure? Are you sure?
Good!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
JOHN: We know that Lauren is used to taking charge in a relationship,
but for Matt, this is very unfamiliar terrain.
So, it'll be interesting to see how he tackles this challenge.
I am brainstorming a number of questions to ask Loz
to try and get to know her a bit better.
My communication is definitely one of my weaknesses.
So, I'm hoping I can use Yes Week
to try and bridge the gap, build the relationship.
It's a great way to get to know Loz better.
Hey, Loz. Why are you looking at me like that?
Oh, no, no, nothing bad.
Um, OK, so, basically you have to do...
..well, you don't HAVE to,
but it's strongly inclined that you have to do what I ask, basically.
Sure.
I'm normally the person who just says yes all the time.
So, this is completely outside my comfort zone.
OK, so, my...my request, it might sound odd.
So, what I'd really like to do for this activity
is just ask you questions.
(LAUGHS) Is that alright?
I'd love that! Awesome!
I've always wanted you to ask me questions, so this is great.
I know. That's why I figured this is the perfect activity to do.
This is Matt's chance to be spontaneous,
and sort of take control.
This is what I want.
(EXHALES) OK.
What is your favourite colour?
Huh.
I guess I was expecting for him to ask,
like, something interesting, at least.
Um, aqua.
What's your favourite food?
(SIGHS)
Um...hmm.
Chocolate. Some sort of chocolate dessert.
What, to you, is your perfect night in?
(GROANS)
So frustrating.
Massage, chocolate, wine.
I think so differently to Matt.
The questions I would have asked are so different to what he asked.
What's something about you
that most people find surprising when they learn?
So, I want to heat things up a little, I think.
You actually have to surprise me here.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
Um, I used to be a lesbian.
OK.
She jumped in and said, "I used to be a lesbian."
I was sort of just shocked.
You don't know the half of me yet.
I don't know what to ask now, I really don't, um...
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
The fact that I have had feelings and relationships with girls
definitely shocked Matt,
and he just went silent, and he just won't talk.
He just shuts down.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)
I find asking questions really difficult.
So, for me, the obvious solution was, "Say nothing."
Wow. Cool!
I'm glad you're showing so much interest.
Yeah, no, I'm... I'm...definitely learning
how to better ask questions.
I'm not impressed, to be honest.
That stuff should just flow, should just come naturally.
He should have a thousand things to ask me.
I've got a thousand things to ask him.
So, it makes me question, like, does he really want to know about me.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
NARRATOR: Yes Week is well under way,
and Nic is revelling in his chance to take control.
What the (BLEEP) are you doing?
The snappy jar's been going well.
I think I got about five or six in the bank.
So, thought I'd get a bit of manscaping down.
I want everything...everything done.
I want my chest, my arms, and maybe...maybe this area.
I don't shave people's bodies.
(LAUGHS) Wow, you are a big boy!
It was definitely a first, and he's so hairy!
Oooh, yeah.
(LAUGHS)
God, I hope the table breaks on you.
Get some in there.
Just so you know, I'm not very good at this.
I don't know why you'd trust me with this, honestly.
Arggh! (LAUGHS)
Are you getting the hairs around the nipple?
I am! Look...can you wait?!
Was that snappy? No. (LAUGHS)
Are you getting angry?
She hasn't actually been punished yet.
So, got some wax strips here,
so might head down to the nether regions.
It would bring us a lot closer, I think.
Arggh! Are you really gonna make me do your bum?
Punishment for being snappy.
That brought a little terror in my heart.
Payback's a bitch. (LAUGHS)
Ready? Please be nice.
One, two... Arggh!
Arggh! (GROANS)
(SCREAMS)
(LAUGHS)
I didn't want any of that pain.
I didn't think it was gonna hurt that much.
Other side...other side. (GROANS)
I feel like I really want to finish it off.
There was a little bit of hair left in there.
Near your testicles. This is gonna hurt, I reckon.
Why would you do that, then?
I feel like it's my week, not even his week.
Like, I don't know what he's doing.
Like, he's really not thinking this through at all.
Three, two, one! Arggh!
(ORCHESTRAL MUSIC BUILDS TO A CLIMAX)
(STIRRING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
ELIZABETH: Cyrell, she really opened my eyes.
She called me out.
She was just like,
"You can't expect someone to stay and do all this,
"and you just be, like, not the nicest person to him."
She's like, "You can't do that.
"You need to, like, open yourself up and you need to be affectionate.
"Put yourself out there."
I need to apologise to Sam for being a bitch.
Before I do that, I want to say sorry to Ines.
Last night at the commitment ceremony,
I decided to put my big mouth and my two cents in on that,
and I should not have done that - that's not right.
I mean, if anyone here wants to, like, give me their husband,
give it to me, like...
Didn't you bring that up at the dinner party?
Didn't you say that you wanted to swap partners?
We know you said that! Shut up.
Excuse me?
What...what are you talking about? The orgy thing!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
She said it, yeah? CYRELL: I didn't hear it.
Yeah, you heard it. Yeah.
Like, why are you attacking me?
Like, I'm sitting here with the experts...
No, because you're just saying something...
..like, trying to solve my marriage...
But you're just saying things that you did say,
you're saying that you didn't say it.
Oh, Jesus!
So, I'm gonna go over to Ines's place and just knock on her door
and just be like,
"I'm so sorry. I'm an idiot. I shouldn't have done that."
I feel for her.
I messed up, and I'm the idiot here,
and I shouldn't have done what I did.
When I heard the door knock, I thought it may have been Sam.
He said he wanted to leave, and I said, "Leave."
So, it makes sense for me for us to take the next step.
Instead of Sam, I got a large noisy bird.
Ahem.
Good Lord, help me.
Hey! Hi, honey. How are you?
Good. How are you? I'm good, baby. How are you?
Oh, good, thanks. Come in. What brings you...
Oh, this is nice! Oh, is it? What's your house like?
No, like, it's good, but this is nice.
Oooh, I'm liking this! Yeah!
I was like, "Where's your husband? Why are you here?"
So, I come over... Yes?
..because the other night at the commitment ceremony, I was an idiot.
OK.
I was an idiot, and, look, I'm all about female empowerment.
Yeah. Right?
And then I've just put my two cents in. It's not right.
She's still dwelling on this.
She's intense. She is so intense.
The other night,
I think I was just, like... I was really, like, in my own head.
Like, really antsy,
like, really just, like, focusing on my situation,
and so I decided to open up my mouth, didn't I?
I was nearly throwing up, I felt that bad.
Really? Oh, my god. I shouldn't have done that.
I should not have done... I'm gonna start, like...
No, I shouldn't have done that, that's...
Oh! No, but it's not OK.
Little things like that actually get me quite upset.
I feel like the bigger things don't get me so upset.
It's just little things.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
I can't take Elizabeth seriously,
because she looks like the Joker and Big Bird had a baby,
and, like, she's so loud!
I feel bad for Sam, like, oh, that would suck!
That would suck so hard.
Like, I reckon he's got it the worst.
Like, I thought I had it bad.
It doesn't get...I don't think it gets worse than that.
Like, he's probably got headphones in all the time.
What makes me happy is chocolate.
For being mean Big old Bad wolf,
I hope it makes you feel better.
It's just, like, a little, like, token, like, a little, like...
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Ines, I'm so sorry.
It just seems a bit weird to me that you'd come to my house
with a block of chocolate to apologise.
I would hate to be her brain.
Imagine how much chocolate she's buying Sam.
You're a good girl, Ines.
Thank you. And I messed up.
No, that's cool. It's so fine. It's so fine.
Yeah. I'm so sorry.
That's OK.
It's not OK.
Yeah, I just wouldn't... I wouldn't have done that.
I'm an idiot.
Thank you for, like, understanding and accepting my peace offering.
That's OK. Thanks.
I'm gonna eat this tonight in bed.
I'll eat the chocolate while I think about her husband.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
NARRATOR: After her visit from Liz,
Ines's secret messages to Sam have ramped up.
SAM: Since Ines has contacted me, she seems to be pretty keen.
She's obviously staying by herself.
So, not too far from this room, actually.
She's actually quite close by.
Wants to meet up in the sauna and, "Come over, bubba."
I'm her bubba, apparently,
so she wants me to obviously come over and... (LAUGHS)
(LAUGHS) I don't know what to do about this situation.
I don't...I don't know.
She seems pretty keen, though.
ELIZABETH: Hello? (DOOR CLOSES)
Now that Liz has cleared her conscience with Ines...
Hello?
..she's returned home to make amends with Sam.
When I came back, I was like, "Oh, he's done a runner, has he?
"OK. He's gone. He left. He couldn't handle it."
Hello?
Oh, my god!
(LAUGHS)
I was like, "I don't understand..."
Come in! You're freezing! What are you doing?
Oh, my god! What... (LAUGHS)
You couldn't even find me.
That's what happens when I'm (BLEEP) bored.
Did you go insane? Yeah.
Yeah? Yeah? I lost it.
Really? Yeah.
I just want to show him a softer side of me.
Come here, come here. Where am I coming?
Come here. What are you doing?
I need to do this, and I need to say I'm sorry.
Like, I'm really sorry... What do you mean?
I hope Sam's gonna like this side of me.
I hope he does. This side of me is pretty alright.
It's all good, honestly.
I need to really, like, mentally check myself
and just be, like, a hugger.
OK.
Like, I just have to hug you, OK? OK.
It just has to happen. Yeah, alright.
She was trying to be affectionate,
but it was just, like, in a weird way.
She's just come in and gone,
"Oh, I wanna give you ten hugs and keep saying sorry."
Sorry!
Don't be sorry. You've said sorry, it's...
I'm really, really, really sorry! It's OK.
She was quite close and in my face,
and maybe she was expecting, like, 'The Notebook'
or something like that.
Maybe she thought I was just gonna take the moment
and give her a little kiss, but, no, that wasn't gonna happen.
Hugs are happening now. They're just happening now.
You just have to bear with it.
I mean, this is gonna be the start
of me putting myself out there with Sam.
It's OK. Relax. Breathe.
I've got Ines making moves and trying to get to know me,
and now I've got Elizabeth, like, trying to move her way in.
It's a sticky situation, that's for sure.
I don't know how I'm gonna... well, I can't escape it.
I'm here, so, I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings,
but I came here to find love.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
Tomorrow night...
Ready for backflips, yeah? Yeah!
..it's bottoms up...
I think my face was so excited!
..as our newlyweds...
I'm gonna work my way down to the buttock area now.
I'm gonna choose your outfit for the day.
No! No! Nic! ..get raunchy.
There's certain things that I need in a relationship.
Like what?
Lauren drops a second bombshell...
What does that mean?
I don't want any part of it.
I've really, like, dug myself into a hole here.
..and Ning and Mark's marriage falls apart.
Doesn't it even bother you that I'm sitting here crying?
No, but I mean, you're the one making yourself upset.
Another relationship heats up, as Ines and Sam...
Hi! (LAUGHS) How are you?
..set the stage for the ultimate betrayal.
I was like, "That is my type of snack."
Delicious snack, I hope.
