00:00:01Impacted.
00:00:02I'm gone.
00:00:03Previously...
00:00:04I don't know where we're going today.
00:00:05Jake broke the rules of the experiment...
00:00:08It's really good then.
00:00:09...when he made a sudden and dramatic exit.
00:00:12I tried so bloody hard to make it work with him.
00:00:14Ashley and Jake's marriage was officially over.
00:00:18And...
00:00:19Welcome!
00:00:20Hi!
00:00:21Intimacy Week began with a bang.
00:00:24Back it up, boys!
00:00:26Alessandra empowered the women to create their ultimate fantasy night.
00:00:31This is your chance to take control.
00:00:33Tonight is all about showing my dominance.
00:00:36Hello.
00:00:38It was an incredible breakthrough for Morena and Tony.
00:00:42There's other sides to romance.
00:00:44I was happy, I was happy, laughing.
00:00:46That's what it's about.
00:00:47Eyes are sad eyes because I let you down.
00:00:49And the smile is where you're coming back.
00:00:52That's actually really lovely.
00:00:54And Rhi's ultimate fantasy night...
00:00:56Oh!
00:00:57They're good.
00:00:58...further deepened her bond with Jeff.
00:01:01What I'm feeling now...
00:01:02I could probably see myself falling for Jeff.
00:01:05Yummy.
00:01:07Jackie asked Ryan for words of affirmation.
00:01:10Mm-mm.
00:01:11I think Ryan struggles with words on how to compliment a woman.
00:01:16Tonight...
00:01:17Welcome!
00:01:19It's the husband's turn to open up to Alessandra.
00:01:22Do you feel it brought you guys together?
00:01:24The painting.
00:01:25That really felt nice to just have that connection with her there.
00:01:29It was one of the best things I've ever done.
00:01:31Hmm.
00:01:32And then...
00:01:33I was gonna say, like, that's...
00:01:35What?
00:01:36Ryan's...
00:01:37Absolutely, like...
00:01:40...unfiltered...
00:01:43...comments.
00:01:44And you know what? It was like...
00:01:45...sending shockwaves through the experiment.
00:01:49Stop!
00:01:50What is wrong with some people?
00:01:51I'm just gobsmacked hearing that type of comment.
00:02:04Intimacy Week is well underway.
00:02:07And already paying dividends after Alessandra challenged the brides to create their ultimate fantasy night.
00:02:13As part of Intimacy Week, I've set a brand new task.
00:02:18The ultimate fantasy night.
00:02:21Helping the brides of the experiment feel empowered and show their partner what it is they desire in a relationship.
00:02:28In order to form a stronger connection.
00:02:32Today, I'm holding a men's workshop so I can hear if the husbands rose to the occasion.
00:02:37This morning, the couples are enjoying the fruits of their fantasy nights.
00:02:45Before the grooms depart for their turn at Alessandra's workshop.
00:02:52Did you enjoy your night last night?
00:02:55Mm-hmm.
00:02:56Oh, yeah.
00:02:57Oh, yeah, I did.
00:02:58What happened after we left?
00:03:00Oh, okay.
00:03:01Well, I was definitely rushing everyone out.
00:03:06I was like, you guys got to go.
00:03:07Hurry up.
00:03:10The last thing I expected today was me to lie down here with some Nutella on my nipples.
00:03:17I can't believe you poured some wine on my chest.
00:03:19I know.
00:03:21It's all over the bed.
00:03:23Oh, I have to do the washing now.
00:03:25Mm-hmm.
00:03:27Alessandra set us the task and I'm doing things that I wouldn't normally do.
00:03:32Honestly, like, I feel so great about it.
00:03:36I was definitely a little timid, like, a little shy.
00:03:39I can see it.
00:03:40And I was like, oh.
00:03:42Bless you.
00:03:44I could see it last night that, yeah, that you were a little, you were being a little bit shy about it.
00:03:49A little bit of exotic Karina came out to play, but also the romance was definitely still there.
00:03:54And I kept him on his toes and he loved it.
00:03:58So, actually, to see you the winner, that was actually a big turn on, eh?
00:04:01Yeah, that was it.
00:04:06I woke up this morning feeling different, but in a good way.
00:04:12I feel like Karina's and I relationship has gone another level again after last night.
00:04:17I swear I did not expect that from Karina.
00:04:21And she was able to really step out of her comfort zone.
00:04:23That's all I was asking for, so, yeah, it's great.
00:04:28Over at Ree and Geoff's apartment, the couple are finding their rhythm after the revival of their wedding dance.
00:04:35How did you sleep?
00:04:36I got such a good night last night.
00:04:38Yeah, it was really fun.
00:04:39It did awesome.
00:04:41Thanks.
00:04:42I know it was your fantasy night, but I'm pretty happy because that's what, like, I would have chosen the same thing.
00:04:47Yeah.
00:04:48We'll go that way.
00:04:49All right, ready?
00:04:50Ready, set, go.
00:04:56I don't even know what I'm doing.
00:05:01It was a cute little touch, the wedding dance redo.
00:05:04Yeah, thank you.
00:05:06A little bit fun.
00:05:07A little bit corny.
00:05:08A little bit corny, but...
00:05:09We like a bit of corn.
00:05:10Yeah.
00:05:11Yeah, I'm feeling really good.
00:05:12I'm feeling really confident in our relationship.
00:05:14And I'm really excited for progression with the intimacy.
00:05:17I think Geoff also wants that too.
00:05:19That's the vibe I'm getting from him.
00:05:21I actually can't wait to hear about what the other, um, couples did now.
00:05:24Would have been some crazy, uh, crazy things happened up here.
00:05:27I think there would definitely be some crazy stuff.
00:05:32Am I walking funny?
00:05:34We were set the task by Alessandra to create the ultimate fantasy night.
00:05:39I feel like I got exactly that indeed.
00:05:43I didn't realise that the bed's split in two.
00:05:46Until us.
00:05:48They separate.
00:05:49There's two.
00:05:50I forgot about that.
00:05:51Dave and I had a lot of fun.
00:05:53A lot of fun.
00:05:55I'm already feeling, like, a lot more connected.
00:05:58And I think it'll be good for him to hear from Alessandra at the workshop.
00:06:04Oh boy.
00:06:05Are you getting nervous or something?
00:06:06Yeah.
00:06:07Maybe just a little bit.
00:06:08Because you can't even focus.
00:06:09Obviously she's, like, the pro in this area.
00:06:11I think it'll be really informative for everyone.
00:06:13But also, he should leave feeling pretty good about himself and where we're at.
00:06:17Because intimacy week has literally started off with a bang, hasn't it?
00:06:24Don't get, like, don't get too nervous.
00:06:26It's like a fun day.
00:06:28Plus, you'll be sitting in a really nice seat when you hear no one else is really having sex.
00:06:33We don't know what happened yesterday.
00:06:34I'm hoping some people got laid.
00:06:37While Jamie and Dave left little to the imagination,
00:06:41one bride's ultimate fantasy night left a lot to be desired.
00:06:46Morning, darling.
00:06:48Morning.
00:06:50My ultimate fantasy night was, um, slightly sexy.
00:06:54Not sexy enough.
00:06:58Can you do it nicely?
00:06:59I am, I am.
00:07:01This is supposed to be sensual.
00:07:03Yes, last night.
00:07:06Didn't expect anything like that, that's for sure.
00:07:09I think both Billy and I are a little bit awkward when it comes to talking about intimacy.
00:07:13I think we kind of resort to humour most of the time.
00:07:19So, it was kind of hard to take it seriously, I think.
00:07:23Do you like giving it to me?
00:07:26Like, the massage.
00:07:28Get your mind out the gutter.
00:07:30Yeah, nah, it was, um, it was nice.
00:07:33It didn't lead to any intimacy last night, unfortunately.
00:07:37I don't have to ask for you to do that.
00:07:40Just letting you know you can just do it whenever you want.
00:07:41We didn't knock boots, but hopefully tonight after Billy gets some advice from Alessandra at the sex workshop today.
00:07:50As in, hopefully we can have sex.
00:07:52Because I'm human, with human needs, and he's hot, and I would like to have him on top of me.
00:07:58Sometimes less is more.
00:08:02Going into an intimacy week, I just feel like we don't need to be having sex on the first night.
00:08:08People take intimacy week as in, you have to have sex.
00:08:11Yeah.
00:08:12Like, they don't actually know what the whole intimacy part is about.
00:08:16Of course I'm attracted to Ciara, but I want an emotional connection.
00:08:20You know, it would be nice to just let that build and just get closer naturally through the activities or whatever workshops that Alessandra's kind of giving out.
00:08:30And, you know, we just let that flow, and then when it happens, it happens.
00:08:41Across the hall, Tony's masterpiece has led to a breakthrough.
00:08:45You sleep well?
00:08:47I slept like a baby.
00:08:49Well, he did drink a bottle of wine.
00:08:51With your help.
00:08:54You know, yesterday, I don't know, showed me the fun side of her.
00:08:58This is my little fantasy.
00:09:05All I want you to do is paint me like you see me.
00:09:11Are you ready?
00:09:13How's that?
00:09:20You know, we laughed and joked.
00:09:23She drank the bottle of wine.
00:09:24I had a little bit.
00:09:25Mm-hmm.
00:09:27We're, yeah, we're actually enjoying our time together.
00:09:31I mean, this experiment's not easy.
00:09:34How do you get through it?
00:09:35Have fun at it.
00:09:38You know, there's something that stood out to me in that painting.
00:09:41What do you think that was?
00:09:43What I said to you had sad eyes because it was because of me.
00:09:47That was my way of saying, you know, everything will be all right.
00:09:53Was the painting an apology?
00:09:56I kind of...
00:09:58I explained it through that painting.
00:10:01Sometimes, you know, my words don't come out right, but, you know,
00:10:04in the moment of time, you know, the eyes.
00:10:06I mean, that's a big step for me.
00:10:11I love it.
00:10:13And you gave it a 10 out of 10.
00:10:15Like the night.
00:10:17That's good.
00:10:19We had a really nice night last night.
00:10:21But I need more.
00:10:23I need that connection.
00:10:26So, I'm excited for Tony entering the workshop with Alessandra.
00:10:32So, yeah, so today's your turn, mister.
00:10:35Get what you can out of it.
00:10:38Ask her questions.
00:10:39Ask away.
00:10:41Ask whatever.
00:10:43Don't hold back.
00:10:44You're going to walk away and go, I should've, I should've, I should've.
00:10:46It's too late then.
00:10:49You won't get this day back.
00:10:51Ever.
00:10:52That's what you've got to remember.
00:10:53Today, well, every day, right?
00:10:54I say this every day.
00:10:55I'm not getting today back.
00:10:57I know.
00:10:58So, however I take it, however I behave,
00:11:01whatever my attitude is, my reaction, I'm not getting it back.
00:11:06So, just go for it.
00:11:09Don't, don't be afraid.
00:11:11Anyway, it's time for me to head out and hit the workshop.
00:11:15Okay. Have you finished your coffee?
00:11:16No.
00:11:17I have another sip.
00:11:18That's all right. I don't want to drink too much.
00:11:21While most brides had a night to remember.
00:11:24It seems Jackie had a night she'd rather forget.
00:11:30Last night, I gave Ryan my ultimate fantasy challenge.
00:11:35And he started an argument about it and just wouldn't do what I needed,
00:11:41which was to make me feel like the most beautiful girl.
00:11:44Um, and so we ended up getting in a fight about it.
00:11:47How hard is it to just be like,
00:11:49Hey, I made a mistake. You're f***ing gorgeous.
00:11:52Like...
00:11:53Because that would be a lie.
00:11:54Yeah, it was just an unproductive fight.
00:12:00I don't even know why Ryan fights about it or what the problem is.
00:12:04I think he's missing the point. Like, I'm here trying to help him.
00:12:06I think he's just failing to be grateful, um, for the fact that I'm actually spending the time trying to train him.
00:12:13Like, he's going to be a better man if he realises that, like, this is what I want.
00:12:18This is what a lot of women would want.
00:12:20They want respect. They want to be treated well.
00:12:23Um, so I just, I don't know why he's so upset, really.
00:12:26Do you remember what the challenge for you last night was?
00:12:30I don't know, like, I consider it was more like, you know, fun and then, um, fulfilling, fulfilling a fantasy type thing.
00:12:40Yeah. Fulfilling my fantasy.
00:12:43I just needed you to swallow your pride, swallow your ego.
00:12:47So I gave you a lot of compliments, not only about your appearance, about your intellect, your skills, your past, all that kind of stuff.
00:12:52And how did I feel at the end of the night and why?
00:12:53And then we got to the point where I came back to the photo challenge again.
00:12:59All right, last one.
00:13:04Okay, I'll put you third.
00:13:09You were like, okay, so do you want to go back and change your reply?
00:13:12Do you want to go back and own up to your mistake? Do you want to da-da-da?
00:13:15No. No, all right? That was not part of the task.
00:13:18When she was sort of bringing it back to what I can't change, which is the line-up challenge again, and like, honestly, I'm sick of talking about that thing.
00:13:28I'm so sick of it. I'm not changing my answer. It wasn't a mistake.
00:13:31I believe she made a mistake by putting me first because consistently she's shown that I'm not the most attractive.
00:13:38I gave you a task last night and you didn't show up for me.
00:13:42No, I showed up for you.
00:13:43No, you didn't.
00:13:44I showed up for you.
00:13:45You didn't.
00:13:46Okay, how do you think I felt at the end of that task?
00:13:48See, Jackie, if you don't get 100% your way all the time, you are unhappy, right?
00:13:56That was the challenge, that was the task.
00:13:57You don't compromise.
00:13:58Stop changing the topic.
00:13:59Because the task itself...
00:14:00How do you think I felt at the end of that task?
00:14:02Neither of us felt fantastic, all right?
00:14:04And whose task was it?
00:14:07Yeah, the crux is that Ryan doesn't listen and doesn't understand.
00:14:11Ryan is almost a waste of breath and I can't say much to change his mind.
00:14:16What do they say? A man convinced against as well is of the same opinion still.
00:14:20It's Ryan.
00:14:21Bring it on.
00:14:22This conversation is done, all right?
00:14:24And I'm looking forward to getting to this workshop to just get away from your energy for a moment, all right?
00:14:28Seriously.
00:14:29Like, you are so impossible.
00:14:32What you wanted yesterday was constant validation every day.
00:14:35What is wrong with that, Ryan?
00:14:36What is wrong with a woman wanting constant validation?
00:14:39Because...
00:14:42I'm not here to fix you.
00:14:43I'm not needing you to fix me.
00:14:45I'm needing compliments.
00:14:46Well, why would you need me to say that constantly, right?
00:14:48I'm going to give you compliments if I feel they're going to be productive.
00:14:53So your job as a partner is to make your other partner feel good about themselves.
00:14:58And you've made me feel terrible almost since we got into this apartment.
00:15:01It's not about you. It's about me.
00:15:02You just had to do the task.
00:15:04What you told me to do, that was exactly what I was doing in that moment.
00:15:07Okay?
00:15:08At the same time...
00:15:09You're all talk, no walk.
00:15:13Cut me off twice. This is over.
00:15:14All right? I'm going to go see what this shirt looks like.
00:15:16Intimacy Week is designed to bring couples closer.
00:15:33But for one couple, a crisis is unravelling in their apartment.
00:15:39A crisis that threatens to tear their marriage apart.
00:15:45There was like three dishes in the sink when I left.
00:15:47Those exact three dishes were still there.
00:15:49No, they weren't. Absolutely not.
00:15:50I made lunch.
00:15:51Yeah, I literally did them when I walked in.
00:15:53I made lunch and I did it.
00:15:54You cleaned your dishes with lunch.
00:15:56Anyways, that's irrelevant.
00:15:57But you left my three.
00:15:58I'm not getting falling down to your level right now.
00:16:01I'm just going to put in as much effort as you put in from now on.
00:16:04Okay, cool.
00:16:05Cool.
00:16:06Effort.
00:16:07You should feel in the type of way so you're just trying to project it on me.
00:16:09No, I'm not.
00:16:10I just don't feel like I'm getting much from you at this point.
00:16:13Would you want me to do backflips off the balcony for you?
00:16:15Make you feel better?
00:16:16I don't know.
00:16:17What do you want me to do?
00:16:18What more could I have done for you?
00:16:20What did you do for me?
00:16:22I asked, did you need anything?
00:16:24I asked, did you want a coffee this morning?
00:16:25Have I emptied the bin?
00:16:27This is so dumb we've been having this conversation.
00:16:29And I've literally done everything I could.
00:16:31It's not dumb when I'm not feeling good.
00:16:33I'm going to end the conversation.
00:16:34I'm not even going into this.
00:16:35Okay.
00:16:36That's Adrian's only job in this place is to empty the bin.
00:16:38And I think I've emptied it more than he has.
00:16:41So, I really don't feel like I ask for a lot from a partner.
00:16:45I don't care if you think it's dumb.
00:16:47It is stupid.
00:16:48It ends up for you to sort it out.
00:16:49Obviously, she's in a bit of a mood.
00:16:51I don't know exactly why.
00:16:53It was such a big deal.
00:16:54She keeps talking about taking out the bins, blah, blah, blah.
00:16:57She must be feeling top away.
00:16:58I don't know.
00:16:59It's nothing to do with me.
00:17:01She's having a moment.
00:17:03And I'm giving her that moment.
00:17:05I don't feel like you do anything.
00:17:06I don't feel like you do anything.
00:17:08I made you.
00:17:09I don't feel like you do anything.
00:17:10Of course you say that, because you're in a bad mood.
00:17:11But it's true.
00:17:12I don't feel like you do.
00:17:13I hope you have a minute to reflect on it.
00:17:15I don't need a minute to reflect on it.
00:17:16for us to work at any time that i make things of course you need to be 100 for you asked to work
00:17:19i need to be 100 for us to work our relationship i don't feel like i get 100 from you adrian
00:17:29you're just wishing you were getting a bit more from adrian yeah i wish i just got a little bit
00:17:32more for us to work like for us to truly work i have to keep giving so much adrian do you think
00:17:40you actually do more than me around here that's not a competition it does more i do what i can
00:17:44and you do what you can but adrian's very selfish in a relationship if i'm not getting anything
00:17:50return i am worried because like i do have very real concerns about whether or not we're compatible
00:17:58outside of this experiment i'm a mum and i have a son to think about and i came in here for a
00:18:03partnership i'm not i didn't come here to be adrian's mom this is the dumbest conversation i've
00:18:08ever had talking about dishes don't laugh at me yeah i'm going to get caught up in that stupid
00:18:15conversation get me out of you adrian i'm you're not hearing i'm in a bad mood and you can't handle
00:18:21it and you can be in a bad mood and i said you're not to be in a bad mood just don't project it on
00:18:24other people bring me out of it instead you're encouraging that bad mood because you're just
00:18:28and once again he leaves and the bin needs emptying i want a new husband
00:18:43i'm out off to the workshop for me have fun ciao the grooms are off to alessandra's intimacy workshop

00:19:43how are you guys doing today nervous as you very well know intimacy week is well underway your wives
00:19:56were all here yesterday right did you reap the benefits of that yep
00:20:03tough work for intimacy week really the most important part of it is not sexuality
00:20:08it's all about generating a safe space and comfort and real trust so throughout the week you're
00:20:17going to be exposed to a variety of tasks one of them was yesterday directed to your wives and that
00:20:25is i guess all the smiles on them seeing giving back at me today i want to hear all about it so who
00:20:33are we going to start with
00:20:39paul
00:20:42here we go mr frenchman lover boy
00:20:46how was it now when it comes to sex like i'm i'm very dominant now the thing is last night the roles
00:20:54were reversed yes so she took full charge and i was there it was electric in there electric
00:21:01oh greased lightning that's a beautiful hot and heavy description of the bonfire that seems to have
00:21:11ensued honestly it was great and the thing is because i know this is something that she's not used to
00:21:16and i could see she was being a little bit shy and then you know a little bit hesitant but i could see
00:21:21she was you know she did her best and she and she went all in and that was really yeah that was awesome
00:21:26so was this your absolute favorite task you had to do since you began the experiment the ultimate
00:21:32fantasy of kareena it was paul's ultimate fantasy yeah kareena rapport you might as well cupid stick
00:21:39an arrow through them they're just well you don't need to say anything on them they're just like in
00:21:44love aren't they really and i can see it so fair play to them really happy for them
00:21:50donnie yeah hello hello let me tell you what happened to me what did morena come up with for
00:22:01you guys she had something something set up and i walk into the room you know when artists paint
00:22:07she had that set up of a canvas there she was sitting there wearing lingerie
00:22:13and she told me to paint her tell you what guys it was one of the most beautiful things i've ever done in
00:22:19my life man so there i was painting i love that titanic vibes titanic vibes hate me like one of your
00:22:27french girls why was it good for you what was it about the experience because i was comfortable doing
00:22:33that you are comfortable i'm not the most romantic guy in the world you can be really felt nice to just
00:22:40have that connection with her there and i like to laugh and joke as you all know and but it was uh really
00:22:48cool man for her showing that vulnerability too like coming out in lingerie like that takes huge
00:22:53courage for her to do that like was that the first time you like saw her like that well pretty much
00:22:58yeah and it's something brings out something different of you when you're actually looking
00:23:01at someone you think so she's actually looks beautiful there man and she really put her effort
00:23:05and time into it and i'm thinking so tanya you're a guy man just you know paint it man it's quite the
00:23:12intimate experience because you really have to look at her you know and i and i drew something on that
00:23:17picture when i kind of said to her these eyes are sorry like sad eyes and she goes what do you mean
00:23:22by that i said because of me that's why you're sad and i said and that was my way of apologizing to her
00:23:27and saying you know this is oh i'm sure that meant a lot to her to hear that that's really sweet oh the
00:23:33painting i know that was my way of saying sorry i let her down at the beginning she wanted to find
00:23:40romance and i didn't give her that being in here you know you're doing a lot of different things out of
00:23:45your comfort zone you know you're telling me vulnerable and this and that and it's hard it's
00:23:51hard so it's you know it's my fault not hers but you know she's a good lady mate she's you know she's
00:23:59i don't want to let her down because i do care about her man
00:24:02you know it was a beautiful night and we enjoyed it she drank all the wine i had one glass and
00:24:11ehm do you feel it brought you guys together well i said you want to say things i get it now
00:24:17i tell you what man it was good it was fun it was one of the best things i've ever done
00:24:22i've learned intimacy can come in different ways and yeah you know there's a that's what i know i like
00:24:27the one that's laughing with me and joking with me and having a good time with me and it was let's
00:24:32see it was really really nice excellent i'm really happy i think it's a that was a great task for you
00:24:37guys and i'm really glad that more than i thought of it i called the picture but i know this so you
00:24:41are a romantic that's pretty romantic but in my special way you know what i mean like tony i'm happy
00:24:47we're all happy so i'm really glad that tony's taking this big step um you can see it in his eyes and the
00:24:53way you know spoke about it he was pretty bashful and i think he was a bit excited so it was cool to
00:24:58see really really happy look at his face though he's smiling excellent i'm really happy
00:25:07coming up ryan's jaw-dropping comments at the workshop
00:25:14some things i just wouldn't say send shock waves through the experiment
00:25:19oh my goodness i know i'm just gobsmacked by hearing that type of comment
00:25:34jeff tell me how you went last night
00:25:39yeah last night was great um reorganized a nice intimate dinner for us and
00:25:43it uh it worked out pretty well i know it was her fantasy night but um it was basically my fantasy
00:25:49night so i couldn't have been happier obviously our situation is so different because we've like
00:25:55basically done everything you could do everything no no no let's go yeah oh please do tell
00:26:05as you guys know we obviously dated and we've been there and done all that stuff so it's it's a
00:26:10friendship now and then we're trying to turn it back into a romantic relationship and i i think
00:26:15we're moving in the right direction yeah like it's like at the start on our wedding day i was in my
00:26:20head thinking i don't know if this is ever going to happen because it was your friends because we're
00:26:26dead set friends yeah yeah it is a hard situation for jeff i think it's if not harder than what we have
00:26:32yeah it's a situation we were not expecting because we had no idea that they had ever met before
00:26:38we matched them on compatibility which by the way the level of compatibility that you guys have
00:26:43is really off the charts yeah i've got everything i wanted that's just we dated before yes i've
00:26:49seen it happen in the experiment and in life a variety of times in my life where you know things
00:26:54that you think are not gonna turn up the heat the heat suddenly appears there's a little spark and
00:27:00it can grow i'm willing to do the work she's willing to do the work and that's all i can ask for
00:27:06that sounds really really good jeff billy
00:27:13that's a long kind of where do i start where do you start i think i feel like this was a snippet
00:27:22of sierra's fantasy oh yeah as in there's a lot more to come sierra was facing out on the balcony
00:27:29with her legs spread on a chair um she dropped the gown and let's just say there wasn't too much on
00:27:39every part of her body was touched i'm really glad that she had the courage to do that yeah it was really
00:27:46really nice it was um um but we didn't like have sex or anything last night
00:27:58my sense the other night is that maybe you're in different levels of being ready for that intimacy
00:28:03so i i'm wondering how you gauge it or how you view it i know that we we can have sex now like we've
00:28:09done it and i know that can then happen but for me this is where i've gone wrong in the past before
00:28:14where it's just been all about that and well look where i am now i do want to have sex with sierra i
00:28:20just want to want to know that the emotions are coming with it still it's about building our connection
00:28:26and we are i don't just want us to be all over each other and be about sex yes you don't want to be
00:28:31you don't want to be good friends either because you can absolutely maintain physical contact while
00:28:38also getting deep you just have to not stop having the chats yeah if you're having the chats if you're
00:28:43being curious if you're spending time if you're laughing with each other opening up those are all
00:28:47things that are going to help you be connected yeah but you can also have a little yeah yeah of course
00:28:55so it's about now finding that balance that balance oh look i i think it will happen in the
00:29:01very near future i really do we're taking each challenge as it comes each task as it comes
00:29:08and it is helping us build closer together so look i won't be surprised within a few days if i do say
00:29:13that we have good yeah i didn't know but it was it was a nice night and sierra looked great yay sierra
00:29:18sexy sierra thank you and ryan hi hi jackie jackie wants to feel adored tell me about that
00:29:28okay well her task for me was i want you to make me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world
00:29:34okay yes yeah like she wanted to get uh like a lot of compliments a lot of reassurance so i'm like yeah
00:29:41sure like complimented on her um appearance she looks amazing you're career driven you're intelligent i find
00:29:47intelligence very sexy so i was like lavishing all this praise and compliments on her and i could
00:29:52see it was making a difference towards the end though she said one line which like made me sort of
00:29:58pull back a little bit she said i want to give you a chance to atone for your mistake
00:30:03was she referring to something in particular i came back at the photo challenge again
00:30:11okay i'll put you third
00:30:12but i was just telling her look i'm not going to take the answer back all right
00:30:19and then suddenly like the crazy eyes came
00:30:23what
00:30:27try living with it
00:30:32saying crazy eyes like that like that's a comment that jake made to make it look bad
00:30:37sheesh i don't know i'm not vibing jackie maybe the the crazy eyes i don't know to bring that up
00:30:47in a group setting when we're in intimacy week like it's not great you don't say these things to
00:30:53put women down i'm sorry what do you mean crazy eyes well like when she when she wants to discuss
00:31:00something that she's kind of not happy with then like it gets quite intense and i was like it's kind
00:31:08of disrupting the whole fun mood of it
00:31:13it didn't end on an ideal note but i didn't know what else i could have done like i was telling her
00:31:18so many different beautiful things about her so genuine and whatnot and then she like brought up the
00:31:23past again i do kind of think i get it though because she was very emotional on the couch about
00:31:28you're not finding her attractive that that's her whole thing it was so clear she wants to feel
00:31:34adored by her partner she wants to feel beautiful she wants to feel like they're really into her
00:31:40well to be honest i was actually a little bit disappointed that it was purely based on beauty
00:31:45like why couldn't we play a fun game why couldn't we do something that connects on a different level
00:31:50i think i've made it pretty clear that the task is not about any of you it was simply about her
00:31:56so your opinion on whether that was the best task or you could have done something different again
00:32:01it's something that you can bring up at a different moment to let her know what is important to you
00:32:08obviously the task yesterday was for the partners to go away and it was their ultimate fantasy night
00:32:13and i think everyone understood that it was their fantasy not our fantasy
00:32:16um i don't think ryan picked up that it was jackie's fantasy not his
00:32:19it didn't go the way either of us wanted but uh we um
00:32:27okay i've got to say like she gives she gives awesome i'm just gonna say like that
00:32:35hell oh man like it was just a throwaway comment it was disrespectful and all of us guys were just a
00:32:44a bit like mate like you can't be saying that and you know what it was like it kept getting better
00:32:49every round you just want to go shake him up ryan just stop just stop like absolutely like hot you
00:32:59know like all right some things i just wouldn't say out loud so i think he's dug himself another hole and
00:33:07no doubt it's going to get back to it after finishing up at the men's workshop the grooms are
00:33:27returning to the apartments you're right darling good afternoon
00:33:37how did you go surprise do you you have to wear this i'm just going to keep this up
00:33:44why do you look are you okay i'm disheveled
00:33:49oh no how you came from seeing alessandra what a day oh the brides are eager to hear what they
00:33:59took away from alessandra's workshop how was it well um it was eventful however the grooms have been
00:34:06left reeling after an unexpected revelation ryan's conversation that what he did was um jackie
00:34:18and ryan so jackie wants to feel like she's the only one in the world long story short there was
00:34:26going all right but then this was like a pretty shocking moment um oh god it was so hard to listen
00:34:36to so he's talking about jackie and stuff and then he he was explaining um how angry she got last night
00:34:43and he sort of joked about saying yeah then the real crazy eyes came out
00:34:50so that's you know it's stop he's taken jakey boy's line yeah yeah you can't go calling you can't be
00:34:58saying your wife's got crazy eyes in front of a group of men especially when that was the comment
00:35:03old jakey boy used to you know slag her off behind the back he said the same comment that jake said oh my
00:35:10goodness i know that was a comment that hurt his wife's feelings like that really hurt her yeah
00:35:15and then he goes and repeats it especially when jackie even said on the day she's like i don't
00:35:20want to hear about it like i don't want to hear 100 i'm pretty surprised that ryan has repeated
00:35:26that again considering it upset his partner in the first place and it would upset me too it was like
00:35:32he just said it like a throwaway line and we're all just all those guys are just like mate what are
00:35:36you doing you know sort of wish i pulled him up on the spot to say it in a setting when she's not there
00:35:42just to the boys to joke about her is you know pretty pretty so knowing that's their sore spot
00:35:49knowing her whole aim of the task was to feel good about herself and get fed compliments to go to the
00:35:56workshop to then talk poorly about your wife's appearance it's just like wild to me like it's
00:36:04wild did you not get the point of the task but that's not the worst part which is still a head
00:36:12scratch for me he just goes
00:36:14yeah but she gives though stop i mean it was a lot it was it was hard to listen to he just kept
00:36:25going and like we're all just like mate like you can't do that what is wrong with some people
00:36:30how does that i have to know how he thinks that's okay these boys have got goals they wouldn't last
00:36:35a minute with me because i'd annihilate them absolutely no way yeah ryan's comments he made about
00:36:42jackie for him to say that while them two are obviously in a tough spot it sounded like ryan
00:36:49just kind of made this comment at the end like oh well at least she's you know she pleasures me at
00:36:53night kind of thing like that's not appropriate the more he talks the more he just digs
00:37:01it's a it's like well no shit he's just he just dug himself like five foot deeper tonight like
00:37:07i have no doubt that has to be brought up and i'm just sort of yeah pretty annoyed at myself
00:37:12i didn't pull him up in the spot then with everyone present and then we're going to say
00:37:16something at the dinner party yeah i think jackie should absolutely know that ryan's making comments
00:37:22about her behind her back i don't think that's acceptable and my husband ain't happy so for that
00:37:29next dinner party's gonna be interesting coming up oh this is it this is the task intimacy week
00:37:38continues surprise task bringing the couples closer before one couple takes their relationship to the
00:37:47next level we're like children we've kissed before oh no it's okay but first you told me stop talking
00:37:56so i'm not going to talk disaster strikes morena and tony sometimes just let me tell you how i feel
00:38:02you told me to stop talking you don't get to do that to a person i don't think so
00:38:09you could

00:39:42okay not to be happy with how your story is going even if everyone else is saying it's going well it's
00:39:49amazing here she goes again and that's this is something that i that i don't like i'm excited to
00:40:01come back here and you know tell morena about what was happening and she hits me with a book

00:40:26home and you've worked out a big day out working and you just want to your wife just say hey how are
00:40:31you talk to me about today because it's sometimes our turn to talk you know and their turn to listen
00:40:42let me open up a page and she just hit me straight away straight into her book
00:40:51let me talk to you man let me tell you how i feel you know as soon as that happened i lost my chain of
00:40:56thought i was like wow i've just opened the page again tony huh i've just opened the page again tony
00:41:07you can't yet see the light at the end of the tunnel because the light is in you
00:41:17that's like how could i have opened it today
00:41:20i just want to take a little break for a while man sometimes she's just got to
00:41:27just take a step back let me talk and let me enjoy myself talking to you
00:41:33and it's happened a lot it's happening it's just how marina is and she's
00:41:39it's a little bit frustrating sometimes i've been there all day and i'm coming back here and you're
00:41:44hammering me i need some time what you mean i'm hammering you chill out for a minute hey you're
00:41:52amazing i don't know why you're getting angry at me i'm not angry but no when when i come here to
00:42:01talk to you i'm talking to you about what i was doing over there and you just lose my chain of
00:42:06thought i don't know okay well then it goes here it is again so i'm gonna show again so just when
00:42:11when they're talking to me about books and things like this tony you walked away tony you walked
00:42:15away this is what the problem is marina you walked away so i'm entitled to talk to you about i was
00:42:20excited to walk in here and talk to you about my day and here you are you know hitting me with
00:42:24questions and books and stuff like man i just don't sometimes i just don't get it okay i'm not
00:42:30talking i don't have to talk sometimes you just got to stop let me have my say sometimes you just
00:42:37i'm just like some time to tony man when it gets too much like that you know i kind of feel rude that
00:42:44i walked off on it sometimes you just got to step away before you know what i mean
00:42:51nobody gets to tell me to stop talking
00:42:56nobody has the right to shut me down so no i don't think so that doesn't get to happen not on my watch
00:43:04i put up with that for 29 years i'm not doing that now
00:43:11so when someone storms off and then tells me to stop talking doesn't sit well with me
00:43:18i don't think so he can
00:43:23he he needs a break let's give tony a break
00:43:26i'm with a child you don't get to walk off tell me to stop talking
00:43:34i asked for an alpha man i didn't ask for a child
00:43:46as intimacy week continues alessandra's latest tasks are arriving at the apartments
00:43:59oh
00:44:00this is it this is the task surprise task this year i've created tailored tasks for each couple
00:44:12to focus on their specific areas for improvement oh okay there's a few things in there again
00:44:20these exercises are designed to invite them to explore outside their comfort zones
00:44:25here we go and help improve their sense of closeness
00:44:30what sort of task do you reckon it will be i don't know but i might go and brush my teeth
00:44:36it's probably a kissing task good idea
00:44:39i've got so much to learn absolutely i'm a i'm a vanilla cupcake with a bit of sprinkles
00:44:45i'm going to come here and then add all the all the chili flakes on top
00:44:48oh chili flakes oh there's four questions i'm excited about today's challenge with dave because
00:44:58he hates talking about sex hates it and i can see he gets uncomfortable but at the same time
00:45:04jave has come a long way so i think we're kind of both got some exploring to do
00:45:11where was the most public place you had sex what happened
00:45:14um i was at the zoo once
00:45:23you're kidding me that like the toilets had like a bird aviary over it so i remember like
00:45:30looking and i was like this bird is full looking at me
00:45:34oh man jamie doesn't give a shit she'll just tell you whatever she wants it's great
00:45:38it's good it's good she's leading the way for me it's um yeah it's helping
00:45:41but one was like going i think they knew what we were doing the birds because it was like
00:45:53maybe that's where you scared of birds let's go to charonga on a day trip
00:45:58over at ree and jeff's apartment the couple are hoping alessandra's tasks will help them take
00:46:12their intimacy to the next level hey are you nervous now i'm all right are you nervous a little bit
00:46:22alessandra she said she's ramping it up this year
00:46:25so it'd be safe to say that i'm a little bit nervous
00:46:28gaze into your partner's eyes for three minutes without looking away allow yourself to be vulnerable
00:46:33and be present in the moment set a timer and enjoy the intimacy
00:46:36the things that she's given us um like we are obviously intimate like we kiss
00:46:46but the yeah staring in each other's eyes and things like that added a little bit of
00:46:49difference to what we would normally do
00:47:02i was just staring at re and i was just like taking in her energy and um
00:47:06and just like looking straight in her eyes and it felt like i was sort of like looking deep into her
00:47:10it sort of feels like you're in a little bubble and nothing else matters in that moment
00:47:14yeah it was intense but uh it was nice
00:47:21i think like one thing i always said was i wanted to walk down the aisle to someone who had really
00:47:25kind eyes and obviously i knew jeff when i walked down the aisle but he has really kind eyes and he's
00:47:32a very good person so it was nice staring into his eyes yeah there it is
00:47:39well gazing does feel intimate yeah i guess it's kind of what you do before you kiss someone so
00:47:43especially when it's for three minutes you start to you see people's souls i don't know
00:47:51share a two-minute make-out session
00:47:57oh yeah the two-minute it's pissing um yeah the two-minute kissing chart i can't even speak
00:48:05uh the two-minute kissing task you know it was a bit nerve-wracking like it might not sound like a big
00:48:10step but for me personally it is we've had that first kiss last week in confessions week but um
00:48:15i guess with this task i just hope that we will see the spark between me and reed you know i'm going
00:48:20to be open because hopefully sooner rather than later maybe we progress to the next stage
00:48:25we like children we've kissed before oh no it's okay
00:48:39okay that's good um so there you are
00:48:55oh wow it's a nice kiss it's a nice kiss it's nice and passionate we're feeling it
00:49:04it's given me a bit to think about
00:49:08do you like kissing jeff i do like kissing jeff
00:49:12everything just feels really right at the moment i can tell we both like each other a lot
00:49:16the spark's definitely there now yeah it just feels like we're just taking that next step but it feels
00:49:21good he's honestly like such an amazing partner to do like to have in this experiment the more this

00:52:59anymore thought all right i'm just gonna read something from my book i didn't i said i'm sorry
00:53:06said that to you you know how i was feeling but i can see you actually don't mean it actions not words
00:53:16so what are my actions what do you want me to do i i'm not going to tell a grown man of 53
00:53:24what to do you should know that should be automatic you should know how to treat a woman and you should
00:53:32know how to speak to a woman and telling her again to stop talking i had that for three decades tony
00:53:39but i've worked on myself for seven years from the day i left my ex i've worked myself inside and out
00:53:45so if you're wondering why it upsets me i won't allow anyone to treat me like that anyone not my friends
00:53:56not my family nobody just calm down a little bit marina i can talk sit down i made the mistake you've
00:54:05told me not to talk so i don't want to talk to somebody i said that that tells me not to talk tony
00:54:11so i don't want to talk think about your words that you say to people people that don't deserve that
00:54:18i talk from my heart i don't talk from my rear end
00:54:32you know i tried to uh apologize i spoke about it i i explained myself she just had to have her
00:54:49say again you know and she was angry sadness in her voice all the time i'm i'm i'm core i'm causing it
00:54:57i know because if she met someone that she's happy with she wouldn't be like this but i keep you
00:55:02know i'm letting her down i'm happy not to talk because that's what you would prefer
00:55:08maybe i need some time off maybe i need to get away from you for the fruit that's fine you you do that
00:55:13if they make you feel like your love is too much then tell them it is
00:55:30it's too much for them boom are we done perfect good unlike me and we're done
00:55:50as intimacy week draws to a close
00:55:52so obviously when dave came home from the workshop with alessandra he did bring me tea
00:56:06making us a tea or a coffee what would you like obviously it seemed the most shocking part was
00:56:12ryan's comments he made about jackie i just yeah don't think that's acceptable to be doing
00:56:18behind your partner's back oh my god i love talking about tea whilst drinking tea this
00:56:23like i'm my nipples are related now i've actually formed a really good relationship with kareena
00:56:29so i want to see what she thinks going on there so i didn't tell what what what what i mean i don't
00:56:37know like so the hot topic to jackie and brian because i know dave definitely was left pissed off
00:56:45and wants to bring up things he just didn't like how he spoke about jackie
00:56:48what did ryan say ryan told the group that she has crazy eyes oh my god like
00:56:59i just don't think he thinks he doesn't like why would you use a comment someone was saying in a
00:57:04negative way about your wife and you're using that in a group of men the thing is like the crazy eyes
00:57:10it's like you could be a lot more creative because like i think life got crazy eyes at the best times
00:57:15but what like really pissed dave off is that like he made the combat physical appearance but it's just
00:57:21not on but then he said oh at least she gives really imagine saying that in front of jackie
00:57:33i'm like
00:57:34i'm just gobsmacked by hearing that type of comment if someone said that about me i would have decked
00:57:45y'all and i would have just legged it yeah like what the i think he was just like peacocking but
00:57:50now i'm like it's like the baton keeps getting passed on from like just shitty husbands and like
00:57:55he's just like yell like i'll take i'll take it yeah like because i think i was like oh it's gonna
00:58:00be quite peaceful actually now and then he's like yoink because i'm like what what's he thinking
00:58:07ryan did say a lot of disrespectful things behind jackie's back which was not on
00:58:13and like my husband ain't happy with the things ryan said is he trying to act cool is he trying to act
00:58:20superior so dave is eager to pull him up on it and honestly like i'm gonna let my husband do his thing
00:58:27but i'm really keen to hear what ryan does say
00:58:31yeah yeah this dinner party's a bit of a show already like it really is
00:58:39following a heated exchange with morena tony has left the apartments
00:58:44and gone to his home in woollongong to collect his thoughts
00:58:47oh my god he he needs a break i don't think so and morena is not happy
00:58:56at the moment right now i'm gutted i'm gutted because he doesn't even want to spend time with
00:59:03even as a friend he's got lots of friends in sydney he wants to spend time with everybody else
00:59:10even his dog but not me good night tony
00:59:18good night tony
00:59:22oh that's right tony needs a break
00:59:27i really want to try and learn how to build a connection with someone i don't know
00:59:34he's making it really difficult because he behaves like a five-year-old i just don't get it
00:59:42i just don't get it why why you would want to be with everyone else
00:59:50except for the person you've been matched up with i don't deserve to be shut out good night tony tony
00:59:57tomorrow night dinner is served emotions run high i'm not done i'm not done with you little boy
01:00:08as morena reaches breaking point does your girl go home every weekend does anyone here go home every
01:00:15weekend and no no listen listen you're delusional she came in swinging while intimacy week has worked
01:00:22it's magic for most of our couples there is a real connection here there is good deep communication
01:00:29the more that this experiment goes on the more i realize that jeff is an amazing person
01:00:34it's nice that's lovely
01:00:40the question on everyone's lips i'm so confused has he told her about that comment does she know i i don't
01:00:47know everyone at the table is fired up and want answers will ryan own up to those comments
01:00:58be honest because you never know what's going to come back to buy you
