Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, 12 Aussie singles are leaving the
00:00:09toxic world of modern dating behind. I have tried the apps, I have tried being
00:00:14set up by friends, and I'm constantly getting ghosted. I just question, is it
00:00:21something I'm doing wrong? Do I not look the right way? No matter what I try and
00:00:26do, I always end up single and alone. Now, thousands of miles from the
00:00:32distractions of home, this string of tropical islands is about to play host
00:00:39to a wild, crazy dating experience unlike any other.
00:00:50These brave souls don't know each other, but they're about to spend 21 days
00:00:55together stranded on Honeymoon Island. Look at this place.
00:01:03Oh my goodness, look at that!
00:01:05It's stunning. This is absolutely paradise. Beautiful, like amazing.
00:01:11On these six islands, they'll live in total isolation. Under these sort of
00:01:17circumstances, you're either gonna die or thrive. So, will love bloom in paradise?
00:01:22We're actually building something different. I wouldn't want to be stranded
00:01:26on this island with anyone else. Or will their dreams of a happy ending forever
00:01:30be stranded on Honeymoon Island? It's kind of all hit me of what I've got
00:01:36myself into. There is no break, there's no space. I just wanted it to be
00:01:40Honeymoon Island, and I think it might be Nightmare Island.
00:01:44But before all that, let's go back to where it all began.
00:01:53Two weeks ago, at a speed dating event observed by our matchmakers...
00:01:57This is so exciting!
00:01:59...looking for couples with enough chemistry and compatibility...
00:02:03Oh, you want to be swept off your feet? I want to be swept off.
00:02:05Oh, okay, nice! To thrive together on a desert island...
00:02:11Do you have survival skills? It's hard my shoes are.
00:02:15Seriously? 20 dates, two minutes to chat, and no sharing of names or occupations...
00:02:23Just gonna introduce myself, but we probably shouldn't do that.
00:02:25And one Aussie guy who was causing quite a stir with the ladies...
00:02:29You have really nice feet. Oh, thank you. Are they yours?
00:02:33Yeah, I didn't borrow them from anyone else's.
00:02:37You're super cute! I can't even talk!
00:02:39Thank you. Yeah, you've distracted me now.
00:02:41I can't even think properly. My brains just left the building.
00:02:43Number 11 was super charming. He was funny.
00:02:47But no, it was a really good day.
00:02:49Two minutes isn't enough. It's not enough.
00:02:51Like, I wanted more. I definitely wanted more.
00:02:54I'm Byron, I'm 33, and I live on the Gold Coast, Queensland.
00:02:57Am I a catch? I don't know.
00:03:01Just a dodgy electrician, really.
00:03:03Floating around here. Just getting by.
00:03:16I live five minutes from the beach, so I surf a bunch.
00:03:19After a surf, probably head to the local pizzeria, and I'm set.
00:03:22Cheers to that.
00:03:24I do live a pretty amazing and busy life, but I feel like when you're busy,
00:03:28it keeps maybe the demons out of your head.
00:03:32We lost Mum in 2005.
00:03:38I was 15 years of age.
00:03:41Yeah, it was obviously tough.
00:03:46I don't think I really could wrap my head around it.
00:03:50Apart from there was just this amazing figure in my life that wasn't there anymore.
00:03:55So, yeah, like, that's why I probably keep myself so busy.
00:04:01And I think the reason why I haven't had long relationships in my life is because I've always been on the go.
00:04:08It's quick, isn't it?
00:04:10It's so quick.
00:04:11I've just pushed the dating life aside.
00:04:14But finding love is important to me because I saw how much Mum loved Dad and how much joy he brought her.
00:04:22And that's what I want.
00:04:23Hi.
00:04:24How are you?
00:04:25I'm home.
00:04:26Cheers.
00:04:27I'm in the coming for a hug.
00:04:28I like the idea of being stranded.
00:04:30There's no get-out-of-jail-free cards.
00:04:32You're there.
00:04:33You're with your wife.
00:04:34And you've got to make it work.
00:04:36What do you think?
00:04:37I don't know.
00:04:38I think I'm looking for a connection, a soulmate, a partner.
00:04:41If you were going to be stranded?
00:04:42Yeah.
00:04:43On a deserted island with someone?
00:04:44I get it.
00:04:45For three weeks?
00:04:46Yeah.
00:04:47What number would you choose?
00:04:48It would probably be three.
00:04:50You look gorgeous, by the way.
00:04:52So do you.
00:04:53Obviously, first of all, she's beautiful.
00:04:55Really nice smile.
00:04:56Laughed a lot.
00:04:57It was a lot of laughing.
00:04:59I'm so gullible.
00:05:01I'm so sorry.
00:05:02That's cool.
00:05:03But I also liked 19.
00:05:05I think there was just something about it.
00:05:07I couldn't tell you what it was.
00:05:08There was just a little spark there.
00:05:10Yeah.
00:05:11Yeah, I just...
00:05:12What's your spark skills like?
00:05:13I'm handy.
00:05:15Great.
00:05:16Yeah.
00:05:17All right, tell me.
00:05:19What is your favourite food?
00:05:21I know how to cook damper.
00:05:23I can cook damper.
00:05:24What's that?
00:05:25I've never been camping.
00:05:29I've been glamping, but I have no skills.
00:05:32I've watched Survivor.
00:05:34I'm not a big nature person.
00:05:37And the idea of getting married to a stranger is pretty wild.
00:05:40I didn't think I would be doing this in my life,
00:05:44but I think it's going to be great.
00:05:46I'm really excited.
00:05:48I need water.
00:05:49My name is Bree.
00:05:50I'm 28 years old.
00:05:51I'm from Melbourne and I'm a performer.
00:05:53I would describe my personality as very bubbly, get a bit crazy sometimes.
00:06:01People think I'm a handful.
00:06:03I think it's a good thing.
00:06:05Aww.
00:06:06That's his mum, obviously.
00:06:08Dating-wise, I do kind of bounce from relationship to relationship.
00:06:12I'm in a relationship, and then a fling, and then a fling, and then another relationship,
00:06:16and then a fling.
00:06:17And it doesn't get you where you want to be.
00:06:22I've never really had a serious boyfriend, and I've never been in love.
00:06:29I think I have felt infatuation, and I felt that, like, excitement,
00:06:33but I don't think it's ever worked out because I realised that I might be the problem.
00:06:41Heart beats fast, colours and promises.
00:06:50How to be brave, how can I love when I'm afraid?
00:06:58Even though I want to be with someone, I think secretly, deep down,
00:07:02I might be a little frightened of commitment.
00:07:05As soon as things start to get serious, I get scared and run.
00:07:09So, being married and forced to spend one-on-one time on an island,
00:07:15I won't be able to do that.
00:07:17Well, Bree, buckle up, because the adventure starts now.
00:07:25This self-described commitment-phobe is about to make the ultimate vow,
00:07:30but she has no idea who she'll be marrying.
00:07:34This is probably the wildest, craziest thing I've ever done,
00:07:38and I've done crazy things.
00:07:40And that's it, Larry.
00:07:42I have no idea what I've got myself into,
00:07:44but not being able to run will put me in a position to build a relationship.
00:07:49I want to feel that with someone.
00:07:51As much as I am scared of commitment, I am ready to be in love.
00:07:55I'm going to vomit, I think, on his feet.
00:07:57I've got butterflies in my stomach, and my heart is racing a lot.
00:08:03I'm going into something completely blind.
00:08:05I have no idea who he is, what he does, what's his name, where he lives.
00:08:11I feel like I'm taking a huge risk.
00:08:22Hi.
00:08:23How are you?
00:08:24Well, that was a long walk.
00:08:25You look so beautiful.
00:08:28This is weird.
00:08:30Wow.
00:08:31Yeah.
00:08:32Wow.
00:08:33So happy.
00:08:34Yeah, me too.
00:08:35I was hoping it was you.
00:08:36I was hoping it was you too.
00:08:37Really?
00:08:38I was hoping it was the dancing girl.
00:08:40I'm very happy.
00:08:41I feel very relaxed now.
00:08:46There was definitely sparks at first.
00:08:51I felt that at speed dating, and it was there again today.
00:08:55I'm Brie, by the way.
00:08:57I'm Byron.
00:08:58I like the bass.
00:08:59I'm Brie like the cheese.
00:09:01I was kind of breathless for a little hot moment there.
00:09:06Hey.
00:09:07I was blown away how beautiful she is, and I saw her before at the speed dating,
00:09:12and she looks even better now.
00:09:14I'm such a lucky guy.
00:09:16Hello, Brie and Byron.
00:09:18Hi.
00:09:19Hi.
00:09:20We're gathered on this day to witness and celebrate the marriage of Brie and Byron.
00:09:27We come together to mark the start of a relationship, and a bond that will strengthen throughout your
00:09:33marriage during the adventure you're about to embark on.
00:09:38As a declaration of commitment for each other, please now read the vows you have written for
00:09:43each other.
00:09:44Byron, if you would like to read yours to breathe.
00:09:48Dear wifey, I ventured into this once-in-a-lifetime adventure just as blind, curious, nervous,
00:10:01and hopeful as you.
00:10:03Not knowing what to expect in what only can be described as a love experiment, I found
00:10:08myself asking questions I've been avoiding for the past few years.
00:10:12What kind of a person do I see a future full of life with?
00:10:17Growing up in such a loving family, I had a front row seat to what true love could really
00:10:22look like.
00:10:23Looking back to when my mum passed, I feel so very lucky to have had such an incredible
00:10:28woman in my life.
00:10:31I look at this as an opportunity, put myself in a position to be vulnerable, to learn about
00:10:36someone with no distractions.
00:10:39I promise to make you laugh, I hope to be the highlight of your day, and the constant
00:10:44in your life.
00:10:46And hopefully in the end of the day, we find love.
00:10:49It was beautiful.
00:10:52Now I have to go take him.
00:10:55I want to kiss you, but I can't.
00:10:57Thank you, that was beautiful.
00:11:01Bree, if you would like to read yours to Byron.
00:11:07Okay.
00:11:08Ever since I was a little girl, I've always dreamed of my wedding.
00:11:11What I was never able to picture is who would be brave enough to choose me to spend the
00:11:16rest of their life with, and love me for all my irks and quirks.
00:11:19As it turns out, that person is a complete stranger.
00:11:23Lucky you.
00:11:26I have never been in love before.
00:11:28It's something I've always wanted and feel like I'm missing out on.
00:11:31And I fear I will continue this pattern for years if I don't learn to shake things up
00:11:34and jump out of my comfort zone.
00:11:36Opening myself up to love is the most exciting and most terrifying thing I've ever done.
00:11:41I need someone fun and lively who can also juggle my crazy and ground me when I float away
00:11:46to Bree land.
00:11:47I hope to be your person, and I hope you can Bree mine.
00:11:55Those are beautiful words you said.
00:11:59Bree.
00:12:00Byron.
00:12:01I give you this ring.
00:12:03I give you this ring as a token of my love.
00:12:05A token of my love.
00:12:06Let it be a symbol.
00:12:07A token of my love.
00:12:08Let it be a symbol.
00:12:09Of all that we share.
00:12:10Of all that we share.
00:12:11Bree and Byron, I now pronounce you as husband and wife.
00:12:16All right?
00:12:18You mean I'll kiss your wife.
00:12:19I wanted to kiss her as soon as she walked down the aisle.
00:12:29Yeah, there was definitely chemistry and that physical attraction.
00:12:32I think it's a great start to a relationship.
00:12:35So, yeah.
00:12:36And it was beautiful.
00:12:40I'm very happy with the result.
00:12:42Yeah, he made me feel very relaxed and calm and kept on rubbing my hands and like made me feel like secure.
00:12:49It was cute.
00:12:50How crazy is it to look down at that and know you're married?
00:12:53I'm married?
00:12:56It's pretty crazy.
00:12:57I looked down.
00:12:58It hasn't hit me yet.
00:12:59It's pretty wild.
00:13:01I don't...
00:13:02Yeah.
00:13:03I'm married.
00:13:05I'm...
00:13:06I'm married.
00:13:07It's wild.
00:13:09Oh.
00:13:10Yup.
00:13:11Yup.
00:13:12I'm someone's wife, that poor guy.
00:13:15Oh.
00:13:16Well, Bree and Byron, that was the easy part.
00:13:24I barely did know anything.
00:13:26What?
00:13:27But I love the beach and I go to Bali a lot.
00:13:30It's quite similar.
00:13:31Bree and Byron are now on their way to Honeymoon Island, where they must live together for 21 days.
00:13:39They look like a volcano.
00:13:41They must say goodbye to their lives as they know them.
00:13:45On Honeymoon Island, there's no phones, no luxuries, and they'll be completely cut off from their family and friends.
00:13:54How will 21 Days Stranded change them?
00:13:58I'm terrified right now, but all I can do is take a big breath and take that leap.
00:14:07The Stranded on Honeymoon Island adventure has officially begun.
00:14:15And while Bree and Byron make the journey to shore...
00:14:18You good?
00:14:19Yeah.
00:14:20Another bride is waiting her turn to jump in.
00:14:26The only time I really get nervous is if I'm doing stand-up comedy.
00:14:30I take a lot of nervous shits.
00:14:33But yeah, outside of that, I don't really get nervous.
00:14:38What does your mum and dad think of you getting married this morning?
00:14:41Dad was like, that's going to be so great, eh?
00:14:44And mum's just like, don't have sex.
00:14:47I'm Amy, I'm 30 years old, and I'm from Queensland.
00:14:51I would describe my personality as a bit of a princess at times.
00:14:57Definitely, like, outrageous, fun, but I have extremely bad luck when it comes to men.
00:15:07And I have a TikTok sharing my crazy dating stories.
00:15:12I just found out that the guy I've been seeing is a pathological liar.
00:15:15He lied to me about his mum dying while we were together.
00:15:18He lied to me about owning a business.
00:15:20He lied to me about living in Switzerland.
00:15:22He lied to me about having an interior design degree.
00:15:25He lied about his parents owning a beach house in Italy.
00:15:27He lied to me about his two ex-girlfriends cheating on him.
00:15:30One of which he told me a fantastical story about her cheating on him with her own brother.
00:15:36He had incest trauma.
00:15:38But it was all just a load of **** and I have discovered everything.
00:15:44I think I give people the wrong impression when they first meet me.
00:15:47Like, they think that I'm this bold, crazy person, which I am.
00:15:51But I also have this other side of me that takes a little bit longer to get to know.
00:15:55And I'm very genuine.
00:15:57I have a lot of love to give and I want my forever person who sees both sides.
00:16:03But I have no radar for really toxic people.
00:16:09Why can't I gauge whether someone's genuine?
00:16:12On an island, stranded, you see people's true colours.
00:16:16You'll get to know them very quickly.
00:16:18It'll be fast-tracked.
00:16:19And that's the beauty of this whole experience.
00:16:22Oh, my God. Hello.
00:16:26When I look for a partner, firstly, I want someone to match my energy.
00:16:30I've been with introverted people and it didn't work out.
00:16:34I see some height, which is nice.
00:16:36Secondly, needs to be hot.
00:16:38Come on, that's where it all starts.
00:16:40Like, if I'm not attracted to you, I'm not going to like you.
00:16:43Hello, Salmon Jacket.
00:16:47Nice to meet you.
00:16:48Yeah, you too.
00:16:49Is that a man bun in so far off?
00:16:50It is a man bun.
00:16:51I can't see.
00:16:52Number 18.
00:16:53There was just, like, a connection immediately.
00:16:55Okay.
00:16:56Well, to be honest, you were exactly my type.
00:16:58Oh, really?
00:16:59Yeah.
00:17:00Type 2.
00:17:01Oh, that's good stuff.
00:17:02You could climb you like a tree.
00:17:03I just feel like there was, like, a little sparkle in his eye.
00:17:08I don't know what you've been told.
00:17:11But time is running out.
00:17:13No need to take a stroll.
00:17:15I'm Hayden.
00:17:16Living in Melbourne.
00:17:1729 years old.
00:17:18And I think my hair's become more of a selling point than I thought it was going to be.
00:17:22I do get a little bit of attention from girls.
00:17:25You know, there's a six foot four long hair and it's become a signature hair.
00:17:30I'm definitely a pretty confident guy.
00:17:32I can spin a yarn with anyone.
00:17:33But then when I'm not, I do like to really chill out and recharge.
00:17:39I'm a massive rom-com fan.
00:17:42I do love my chick flicks.
00:17:44I'm a bit of a romantic.
00:17:45Big believer in love at first sight.
00:17:48And I'm so ready to settle down.
00:17:50And what I've been doing hasn't worked for me.
00:17:52So I'm just trying a real out of the box experience and just hoping that this is my turn.
00:17:57I guess I'm looking for my own sort of rom-com.
00:18:00Can you guess what sport I play?
00:18:02Basketball.
00:18:03AFL.
00:18:04Close.
00:18:05I don't know.
00:18:06To be fair, yes.
00:18:07It's usually one of the other.
00:18:08Involves a ball.
00:18:09I like things that involve balls.
00:18:11In terms of looks, definitely my type.
00:18:14I liked his outfit.
00:18:15I liked everything.
00:18:16So nice to meet you.
00:18:17You too.
00:18:18But number three, the banter was on point.
00:18:22Nice to meet you.
00:18:23Nice to meet you.
00:18:24I'm number three.
00:18:25You're number three.
00:18:26I'm number two.
00:18:27Do you know what the ironic thing is?
00:18:28This is actually my real name in life.
00:18:29Real life is three.
00:18:30It's three, really.
00:18:31Mine's ten.
00:18:32Is it?
00:18:33My name's Mike.
00:18:34I'm 37 and I'm a Kiwi.
00:18:36I'm living in New South Wales.
00:18:38And I guess I've got a big personality.
00:18:42I host a motorsport show.
00:18:48So I'd say I'm pretty masculine.
00:18:50I'm definitely headstrong, alpha male, want to go in, get shit done.
00:18:54As well as try and be ambitious and hit all my goals.
00:18:57The dream would be to be bigger than Top Gear one day.
00:19:00But every single goal I hit, I feel like I'm missing the biggest goal of them all.
00:19:05I don't like being single at 37.
00:19:07Like, come on.
00:19:08You know, this is the time now where I'm like, I want to have a family.
00:19:13This whole process is very different to I think anyone's done before.
00:19:17You have no technology.
00:19:18You have no phone.
00:19:19You have only the person that you're with.
00:19:22It's going to really separate the men from the boys for sure.
00:19:26I'm actually single.
00:19:28Are you?
00:19:29I actually left my wife at home today.
00:19:31We had a really good laugh.
00:19:33I felt like we had a lot in common.
00:19:35You do stand-up comedy?
00:19:36Just for fun.
00:19:37So do I.
00:19:38Stop it.
00:19:39Yeah, I do stand-up.
00:19:40There was a lot of vibing going on.
00:19:42I really liked him.
00:19:44So I'm picturing my experience with two different men.
00:19:48Number 18 and number 3.
00:19:50They're very different.
00:19:52But I have one person in mind who I really hope it is.
00:19:56And now I'm just ready to go.
00:19:58So put me on an island, lock me up, throw away the key.
00:20:02Amy's big moment is here.
00:20:09Our matchmakers have paired her with the man they believe she is most compatible with.
00:20:15But Amy won't find out who it is until she meets him at the end of the aisle.
00:20:21I feel like there's been such a build-up to this moment and now I just want to get it done.
00:20:25But I've had literally countless relationships that haven't made it to this point.
00:20:32So the fact I don't know who my husband is, is very daunting.
00:20:40The person I'm hoping for, he was very tall, he was very handsome, brown hair, cute smile.
00:20:47I just want to find him really hot and I want to have a great connection.
00:20:52I want to laugh a lot with him and just have a really great time.
00:20:55And just embrace this experience together.
00:20:58It means everything to me to find love.
00:21:05I genuinely believe it's the most important thing in life.
00:21:09Oh God, okay.
00:21:11So, I'm really hoping that this is finally my turn.
00:21:16And if it's not who I'm expecting, I'll...
00:21:22Yeah, that will suck.
00:21:25You will be able to tell if I'm not happy.
00:21:28I don't have a good poker face.
00:21:42Oh God, okay.
00:21:44What up boss?
00:21:45Whoop whoop.
00:21:46You look stunning.
00:21:47Oh, thank you.
00:21:48I'm Mike.
00:21:49What up boss?
00:21:50Whoop whoop.
00:21:51He looks stunning.
00:21:52Oh thank you.
00:21:53What.
00:21:54You will be able to tell if I'm not happy.
00:21:59I don't have a good poker face.
00:22:04Oh.
00:22:06What up, boss?
00:22:09Whoop, whoop.
00:22:11You look stunning.
00:22:12Oh, thank you.
00:22:13I'm Mike.
00:22:14Thank you for your...
00:22:15Yeah, you too.
00:22:16Oh, where do I stand?
00:22:18I honestly don't know.
00:22:19OK.
00:22:20I've just been over here sort of nervous since then.
00:22:22OK.
00:22:22Are you good?
00:22:24I'm good. Are you good?
00:22:26Yeah, I'm great.
00:22:26Yeah.
00:22:27You look fantastic.
00:22:27Thank you. So do you.
00:22:31I immediately saw that he didn't have a man bun.
00:22:34I was hoping for the guy with the salmon jacket on,
00:22:39so I was disappointed immediately.
00:22:46How's our needs feeling for coming into this?
00:22:48I was about a six now.
00:22:50I'm about a ten, so, yeah.
00:22:52Oh, that makes me so much feel better.
00:22:53The whole time, I was like,
00:22:54what happens if I turn around?
00:22:55And she goes, nah.
00:22:59OK.
00:23:00Do we, like, start now?
00:23:01What happens?
00:23:03We're just having a little chat.
00:23:05Oh, OK.
00:23:06All right, well, how'd your morning go?
00:23:08She's a babe.
00:23:09A little blondie.
00:23:11But it was exactly the girl that I knew it was going to be,
00:23:13and I was stoked.
00:23:14When we met at the speed dating thing,
00:23:16I was like, that's my number one.
00:23:18Oh, OK.
00:23:19That's very nice.
00:23:20Yeah.
00:23:22I was all pumped up about it.
00:23:25OK, great.
00:23:26I'm good.
00:23:28Chemistry.
00:23:29I felt it straight away.
00:23:30And I think she felt the same,
00:23:31so let the fun times roll.
00:23:33Hi.
00:23:37Hi.
00:23:38Welcome to your wedding.
00:23:40Yay.
00:23:41We're here today to witness the vows of Amy and Mike
00:23:45as you commit to each other in marriage.
00:23:49And now it's your turn to offer your promises to each other.
00:23:53Amy, you ready?
00:23:56Yes.
00:23:59Hello, handsome.
00:24:01I mean, husband.
00:24:02Let's start with the obvious.
00:24:05Marrying a complete stranger is quite literally insane.
00:24:08But I can assure you,
00:24:10it's not the craziest thing I've done.
00:24:12Oh, that's exactly what I was thinking too.
00:24:14Don't worry.
00:24:15I won't scare you away with those stories just yet.
00:24:17I'll wait until when we're stranded on an island with no escape.
00:24:21You're funny.
00:24:22Since I know nothing about you,
00:24:24I'll gladly take this opportunity to talk about me.
00:24:27Those who know me will tell you that I have a split personality.
00:24:30But don't worry.
00:24:32I'm not crazy or anything.
00:24:34I have a lot of love to give,
00:24:36which in the past has gone to pathological liars,
00:24:38narcissists and mediocre men.
00:24:41So I'm here today in the hopes that trying something drastically new
00:24:44will finally break this pattern.
00:24:46You'll be sweet.
00:24:46I got you.
00:24:46I know what I want and I definitely know what I don't want.
00:24:49That goes both ways.
00:24:51I can't promise to always be perfect.
00:24:53But as I always say,
00:24:54under promise,
00:24:56over deliver.
00:24:57That was great.
00:24:58Well done.
00:24:59All right, Mike.
00:25:00You ready?
00:25:01Yep.
00:25:03Kia ora and hello to you,
00:25:05my new wife,
00:25:06my squeeze.
00:25:06So my mum sent me something the other day
00:25:12that I thought would kick this off with a laugh.
00:25:15Apparently I've actually written my vows before
00:25:16when I was eight years old.
00:25:19Oh my God.
00:25:21Marriage will be super cool.
00:25:22We could buy really sick BMX bikes
00:25:24and go to the park and play together.
00:25:26Hopefully my wife will make better sandwiches than mummy.
00:25:29If not, that's okay.
00:25:30I'll just find a new wife
00:25:31or mum can come and live with us.
00:25:33Already planning for divorce.
00:25:34How about you?
00:25:36I hope she likes fire trucks.
00:25:39I like fire men.
00:25:40Does that count?
00:25:43Oh, here we go.
00:25:45Let's see what older doors thinks about marriage.
00:25:47They say that marriage is a journey.
00:25:49Well, in this journey,
00:25:49you've already walked 10 steps
00:25:51and I look forward to taking my first steps with you.
00:25:54A little bit about me.
00:25:55A hobby of mine is stand-up comedy.
00:25:57I will always have a smile on my dial
00:25:59and my love language is 100% gentle bullying.
00:26:03Okay.
00:26:04Cool, same.
00:26:05I'm an adrenaline junkie.
00:26:06I spend my time hosting a motorsport TV show,
00:26:09which leads me to why I'm standing here today.
00:26:12I've been so fortunate to live an amazing life
00:26:14and literally my dream.
00:26:16However, now more than ever,
00:26:18I am questioning what does it all mean
00:26:20unless I have someone to share it all with.
00:26:21I'm going to wrap me up by something my dad taught me
00:26:25when I was young that I live my life by.
00:26:27It's a man's job to make a woman feel loved
00:26:29and in turn she will respect you.
00:26:32I got you, girl.
00:26:34Great.
00:26:34You killed it.
00:26:35That's great.
00:26:35Is that okay?
00:26:36Yeah, I loved it.
00:26:37Cool.
00:26:38It's nervous.
00:26:39Amy, do you take Mike to be your partner,
00:26:42your friend and your husband?
00:26:45I do.
00:26:46Mike, do you take Amy to be your partner,
00:26:50your friend and your wife?
00:26:52I do.
00:26:53Now that you have both exchanged your heartfelt vows and rings,
00:26:58it is my honour to launch you on your way
00:27:01to declare you to be husband and wife.
00:27:05It's time.
00:27:07Let's seal it with a kiss.
00:27:09Oh, my God.
00:27:12Booyah!
00:27:13I did it.
00:27:15BG, baby.
00:27:17Three weeks, Amy, will be fun.
00:27:20Survival stuff.
00:27:21That's where I was right,
00:27:21because I'm a Kiwi and I'm just used to this stuff.
00:27:23Let's go.
00:27:24It's like glamping, you know?
00:27:25I'm keen for this heart out.
00:27:27Look where we are.
00:27:28Yeah, this is amazing.
00:27:28If you can't have a smile on your dial with this,
00:27:31there is something hella wrong.
00:27:32Yeah, no, this is beautiful.
00:27:34I know, right?
00:27:35You can tell in about five seconds of meeting that chick,
00:27:37she's got a big personality.
00:27:39She's going to be the funniest.
00:27:40I'm like, what am I going to do?
00:27:43We're stuck together and we don't know each other, so...
00:27:45Oh, my God.
00:27:46Yeah.
00:27:46Yeah.
00:27:48I can tell there's going to be some challenges.
00:27:49It's going to be how we're going to navigate two big personalities.
00:27:53But it's boiling hot.
00:27:54Let's go to the island and let's start doing some fun stuff.
00:27:58I'm getting so much sea sprays.
00:28:01Bye-bye makeup.
00:28:02He's not who I wanted.
00:28:05But he seems really fun.
00:28:08We've been matched for a reason.
00:28:09I want to give him a chance.
00:28:11And maybe I do need someone with a bigger personality to challenge me.
00:28:16So, you know, God, maybe it'll work out.
00:28:20We'll see.
00:28:21Woo!
00:28:22We're on the island!
00:28:22So, guys, I think that's where we're sleeping.
00:28:24That is.
00:28:24Hey!
00:28:26Oh, my God.
00:28:27I'm excited.
00:28:28Yo!
00:28:28No walls.
00:28:29I'm going to be honest.
00:28:30I didn't expect that.
00:28:33I'm super committed to this whole experience.
00:28:37And I want to make the absolute most of it.
00:28:39And the reason I've done this is because my choice in men cannot be trusted.
00:28:45So, maybe being stranded on an island for three weeks together, maybe something will go.
00:28:50What could possibly go wrong?
00:29:04Help!
00:29:05Oh, f**k!
00:29:13F**k!
00:29:14Sorry.
00:29:14Sorry.
00:29:16Oh, f**k!
00:29:17You good?
00:29:18Yeah, I'm fine.
00:29:18Oh, you're floating?
00:29:19Yeah, I'm floating, but I didn't know how to get out of it.
00:29:23You're good.
00:29:24Should we go to shore?
00:29:26Yeah.
00:29:27We're on that island.
00:29:30Just, I just thought a whole bunch of sea salt.
00:29:40Just married Bree and Byron have made it to shore.
00:29:44Look at this place.
00:29:45Basically strangers a few hours ago, they've taken a huge leap of faith together in the name of love.
00:29:54It's the four seasons.
00:29:56And now, for the next three weeks, this uninhabited paradise will be their home.
00:30:05This is absolutely paradise.
00:30:07Look at it.
00:30:08It's stunning.
00:30:09This is unreal.
00:30:11It's, yeah.
00:30:12There's a bed.
00:30:13There's a full bed.
00:30:14And a hammock.
00:30:15Holy shit, here we are.
00:30:18This place is magical, hey, like.
00:30:20Oh, we've got a nice view.
00:30:22Looking around, there's not a single landmark in sight.
00:30:27I feel like I'm the sort of castaway or something like that.
00:30:30Oh, my God.
00:30:31There's a wedding cake.
00:30:33With our names on it.
00:30:34How good.
00:30:35I'm starving.
00:30:36I could totally just eat that right now.
00:30:37It's not a wedding without a wedding cake.
00:30:39Okay.
00:30:39First things first.
00:30:41Let's cut it off.
00:30:42I saw an axe.
00:30:43There's an axe.
00:30:44Go.
00:30:45Machete?
00:30:45Yeah.
00:30:46Now that I'm here, cutting the dress is probably, like, the top of the priority list.
00:30:51It's so heavy.
00:30:53I'll get a machete, honey.
00:30:54I know how free I will feel once my legs are out.
00:30:58I'll be, like, Ariel when she gets legs.
00:31:00That's how it feels right now.
00:31:02You just tell me what you want me to do.
00:31:04I think I'm going to end up getting murdered.
00:31:06I feel like it's safe.
00:31:08I feel like we're good here.
00:31:09Why don't we just, like, cut it down?
00:31:11I reckon I want it, like, there.
00:31:13Uh-huh.
00:31:14So maybe, like, do layer at a time.
00:31:16Okay.
00:31:16That can take it.
00:31:17Bree, what have I learned so far?
00:31:19It seems like I'll be doing a lot of the heavy lifting because she's got very minimal survival
00:31:25skills.
00:31:26Don't stab me.
00:31:29Oh, nearly got me.
00:31:31But I always said I'm pretty handy, so I'm sure she's really eager to learn.
00:31:37You're like a citrus.
00:31:38Yeah.
00:31:39You are a citrus.
00:31:39Like a pirate one?
00:31:40Yes.
00:31:41Bree is gorgeous.
00:31:42We definitely have an attraction and we're getting along at the moment like a house on fire.
00:31:48Ah!
00:31:49I'm free!
00:31:50I have legs!
00:31:51She's definitely quirky.
00:31:53I don't think it's going to be a dull moment with her.
00:31:55Maybe that's going to set the tone of what the stranded's going to be like with Bree.
00:32:00Should we have some cake?
00:32:03100%.
00:32:04Should we do the whole thing together?
00:32:06Do you want to cut the cucumber?
00:32:08I'm down if you want to cut.
00:32:09You cut your way and then I'll cut my way.
00:32:13See?
00:32:14Perfect.
00:32:14Byron is such a nice guy.
00:32:16Here we go.
00:32:17He's very handy.
00:32:18And I'm having fun.
00:32:21He ticks pretty much all my boxes.
00:32:22And I wouldn't want to leave here with anyone else.
00:32:30Okay.
00:32:32It's not nice when it happens to you.
00:32:34That actually kind of my eye.
00:32:37Yeah.
00:32:37But I'm starting to feel quite overwhelmed.
00:32:42Yeah.
00:32:43I've never really been in a serious relationship before.
00:32:45So it's been a huge step.
00:32:47And as fun as like the whole wedding and stuff is,
00:32:49it's like as soon as things start to get serious,
00:32:52I get scared and run.
00:32:54Wow.
00:32:54Look where we are.
00:32:55I know.
00:32:57But we're married.
00:32:58So that's like the ultimate commitment.
00:33:02Like I don't think it's not him.
00:33:05It's me.
00:33:06That fear of commitment is definitely like kicking in.
00:33:10Now I'm on an island stranded.
00:33:12And it's just us two.
00:33:14We're stranded here.
00:33:15That's true.
00:33:17I really do like him and I am attracted to him.
00:33:19So I'm really hoping I don't self-sabotage.
00:33:24Yeah.
00:33:26A little sailboat.
00:33:28I know.
00:33:29Come help.
00:33:32While Bree fights the urge to self-sabotage,
00:33:35for new bride Amy,
00:33:37arriving on Honeymoon Island
00:33:39has triggered a very different response.
00:33:42I need to actually pee.
00:33:46Now I'm just going to pretend.
00:33:48That's my own line.
00:33:49Can you go away for a sec?
00:33:51Not too far though,
00:33:52just in case a wave comes.
00:33:54What a rollercoaster.
00:33:55Started the day very upset.
00:33:57Like who marries a stranger
00:34:00and then gets deserted on an island.
00:34:03I don't want it to get stuck in the fabric.
00:34:07I want it to wash alone.
00:34:08I was a bit shocked when I saw Mike at the altar,
00:34:12but it's not an issue with him whatsoever.
00:34:16He's a good person
00:34:17and he's not unattractive whatsoever.
00:34:18It's just that he's like not who I wanted.
00:34:21Can we cut it?
00:34:24Make us smaller?
00:34:25You want to cut your dress on its birthday?
00:34:27I mean, I don't want to
00:34:28because this is logistically impossible.
00:34:31Oh, you know, God, do you see what I see?
00:34:34Check it out.
00:34:34There you go, say pain.
00:34:35Life is easy.
00:34:37Oh my God, so cute.
00:34:38I will sort you out.
00:34:39A drink.
00:34:40We've got 21 days to see if it can work.
00:34:43Just the two of us
00:34:44and I feel like now that I'm here,
00:34:47like the beach is absolutely stunning.
00:34:49I'm looking forward to morning swims,
00:34:51afternoon beach walks.
00:34:53I'm so excited.
00:34:55Okay, welcome to Honeymoon Island.
00:34:58Yeah, we're good.
00:34:59Okay.
00:34:59You gonna get glasses?
00:35:00No, no, literally just pour.
00:35:02Just a little bit.
00:35:07Ah.
00:35:08Damn.
00:35:09You're the perfect height to pour.
00:35:12Mine's useless, but yours is great.
00:35:15Okay.
00:35:15Crumb like a tree.
00:35:17Okay, so.
00:35:18Are you hungry?
00:35:19Shall we, like, make a spot
00:35:20where we can sit
00:35:22because that doesn't look particularly comfortable?
00:35:24I think first...
00:35:24Oh, here's our machetes.
00:35:26Okay.
00:35:26I think first and foremost,
00:35:28let me just have a look around.
00:35:29I'm here.
00:35:31It's cool.
00:35:31It's beautiful.
00:35:32This is thick.
00:35:33Oh, that's our shower.
00:35:35Yeah.
00:35:35No, no, no.
00:35:36So you fill it up and it just fills out the bottom of your holes.
00:35:39I realise that.
00:35:40I'm just having a look.
00:35:40It's definitely not rough,
00:35:44but it's definitely not luxury.
00:35:47Oh, okay.
00:35:47So that's our water.
00:35:48Water.
00:35:49I grew up in New Zealand, though.
00:35:50Us Kiwi boys,
00:35:51we know what we're doing with this.
00:35:51I'm gonna...
00:35:52We'll be sweet.
00:35:53I got this.
00:35:53We're Kiwi bro too.
00:35:54I'm here.
00:35:56Yes.
00:35:58All right.
00:35:58Should we actually try and light the fire?
00:36:00You just chill and then me sort it out.
00:36:03Yeah.
00:36:03Maybe, maybe...
00:36:04No, no, no.
00:36:04Maybe I could get out of my wedding dress.
00:36:05There's nothing to get changing right now.
00:36:07So just stay there and I'll sort it out.
00:36:09So what we'll do is...
00:36:10What are you gonna sort?
00:36:12Well, look.
00:36:13One thing I dreaded the most
00:36:14was to be on an island
00:36:15with someone who didn't listen to me.
00:36:17That's probably my worst fear.
00:36:19So I hope she does.
00:36:21Let's lie this out on the sun to dry
00:36:23because that will be useful for us later.
00:36:25I'm nervous about a couple of things.
00:36:28The only thing is she's very leading type of girl.
00:36:31Hey, hey, hey.
00:36:32It's not gonna dry like that.
00:36:33This shadow's gonna come straight over this.
00:36:36Look, she's a woman.
00:36:38You know, I'm the man.
00:36:39Just chill out.
00:36:40I got this.
00:36:40I reckon we cut the netting out of it
00:36:43because we're gonna need
00:36:44some sort of protection from bugs.
00:36:45I've got a funny feeling
00:36:46it's gonna be too small as a net.
00:36:48I've got a funny feeling we can make it work.
00:36:50Okay, go cut it up.
00:36:52Okay.
00:36:53I'm going to get this fire sorted.
00:36:55Yeah.
00:36:55And once we've done that,
00:36:56then we can go from there.
00:36:57All right, well, I'll sit and watch you do the fire
00:36:59while I hack away at my dress.
00:37:01How about that?
00:37:01Okay, yeah.
00:37:02I just don't want to be like,
00:37:04let's go do this.
00:37:04And she's like, let's go do that.
00:37:06So we need to find a way
00:37:07to be able to just nip that in the bud.
00:37:09We should be able to literally get like,
00:37:12because we can attach other bits of the net to it.
00:37:14Think if we drape it over the top.
00:37:17It's not enough.
00:37:18It won't work.
00:37:19No, this will be useful.
00:37:21Can you just trust me on some things?
00:37:22Okay.
00:37:22I feel like there's a bit of a power struggle going on.
00:37:28It's two very dominant people trying to be the boss.
00:37:33And only one of us can be the boss.
00:37:35It's not enough.
00:37:36It won't work.
00:37:37You can't have two main characters.
00:37:40Yeah.
00:37:41It's going to be a battle for control.
00:37:44I don't know why she's trying to lead.
00:37:46She doesn't know shit.
00:37:47That I'm going to win.
00:37:51Well, Amy, you've got 21 days to find out.
00:37:55For our next groom,
00:37:57today we'll bring 46 years of bachelor life to an end
00:38:01with a splash.
00:38:03At 46 years of age,
00:38:06I could be seen as an eligible bachelor.
00:38:09But if I remain single and I get much older,
00:38:12then everyone's going to look at me like a giant red flag.
00:38:15Why is this guy still single at 46?
00:38:21I'm Chad.
00:38:22I'm 46 and I work in the field of orthopaedics.
00:38:25I supply all the medical devices that go into people's bodies
00:38:28when they need to have a joint replacement,
00:38:30but really focusing on the most complex of joint replacement cases.
00:38:34So we really save people's limbs.
00:38:37We're the last line of defence before amputation.
00:38:40I've always been passionate about helping people.
00:38:43That's been ingrained in me since childhood.
00:38:45Maddy, ready for your coffee?
00:38:47I want to do it with your spoons.
00:38:50We'll give you a coffee.
00:38:52Yeah, you ready for your coffee this morning?
00:38:54Mm-hmm.
00:38:55Yeah, here we go.
00:38:56Drink the coffee.
00:38:57Ooh.
00:39:00Yummy.
00:39:01Nice and coffee, isn't it?
00:39:02That's nice coffee.
00:39:03Nice, comfy.
00:39:05When I was 11, my sister was born with special needs.
00:39:08I really had to step up and get involved with a lot of her care
00:39:12to help mum, because mum was, you know,
00:39:14a single parent and working as well.
00:39:17Do you want the donut or does Chad get to have the donut?
00:39:22Eh?
00:39:23My family situation complicates my dating life because I think I invest a lot of emotional
00:39:30bandwidth in my mum and sister.
00:39:32I've always protected my time so I can be there for mum and Madison.
00:39:37Typically, what I've navigated to is relationships with women who don't require any emotional energy,
00:39:45so they're always short-lived.
00:39:47I'm doing this experience because for the three weeks that I'm with this person,
00:39:56they get 100% of me.
00:39:58There is no distractions.
00:39:59There's no family distractions, no work distractions.
00:40:02It's literally stripping it right back to two people getting to know one another
00:40:07and seeing whether there's a click, whether there's a vibe,
00:40:11and we can expand on that and grow love in that experience,
00:40:15or at least the foundation of love.
00:40:17Hi there, how are you?
00:40:1917.
00:40:20I almost...
00:40:21That was the first time this evening where I almost said my name.
00:40:25There was definitely a lot of women in the group, in the selection,
00:40:28that made me laugh out loud.
00:40:30Okay, how's your time?
00:40:31Oh, my God.
00:40:31I'm sorry, thank you very much.
00:40:33Jinx.
00:40:34There was a lot of fun moments, which was really cool.
00:40:37Oh, thank you so much.
00:40:38I don't think she needs any more shampoo.
00:40:40She's roasting me.
00:40:42For the ones that had that, but with the combination of attraction,
00:40:46I've managed to nail it down to what?
00:40:49Hi.
00:40:49Well, hello there.
00:40:51Hello, lucky number seven.
00:40:52Oh, thank you.
00:40:54That's actually my favourite number.
00:40:55Really?
00:40:55Well, hello, number nine.
00:40:56I was going to say you're about a nine out of ten,
00:40:59because I wanted to be your final one.
00:41:01Oh, look at your little one-liner.
00:41:04No, that was more of a dad joke.
00:41:07Cheesy pick-up line.
00:41:09My name is Georgia.
00:41:10I'm an international flight attendant, and I'm 35 years old.
00:41:13What is exciting about my career is that no day is the same.
00:41:21I'm getting to travel, exploring new places, new destinations, meeting new people.
00:41:29I love the lifestyle.
00:41:30I love the lifestyle, but it can be a little bit lonely.
00:41:37I have been engaged before.
00:41:40I was with my ex-partner for two and a half years,
00:41:42and we had planned a destination wedding.
00:41:49And three days out.
00:41:54He said, I'm not coming to the wedding.
00:41:57Just like that.
00:41:58There was no sorry.
00:42:01There was no, like, there was just no real empathy in what he was saying either.
00:42:11It was just cold-hearted, delivered.
00:42:16I'm not coming, like you'd say to your friend,
00:42:19oh, I'm not coming to that event tonight.
00:42:21Yeah, it was like a dagger to the heart.
00:42:25How scary is the idea of getting married again?
00:42:29Very scary.
00:42:33But I want love.
00:42:37Last time I was in paradise, I got my heart broken.
00:42:42It was soul-destroying.
00:42:44But if I let that experience define me,
00:42:47I will never have that beautiful relationship I've always dreamt of.
00:42:54I still do believe that there are good men out there.
00:42:58And after everything I've been through,
00:43:01I know what I deserve.
00:43:03And I'm really hoping for the Disney fairy tale ending
00:43:08that I didn't have last time.
00:43:17Last time I was in paradise, I got my heart broken.
00:43:31Coming back to do this again, that just scared me.
00:43:36But I know what I deserve.
00:43:38And I'm really hoping for the Disney fairy tale ending
00:43:43that I didn't have last time.
00:43:46Hello.
00:43:53How are you?
00:43:54Good, how are you?
00:43:56Good, good.
00:43:56You look beautiful.
00:43:58Amazing.
00:44:00Wow.
00:44:01As soon as I turned around and saw her,
00:44:03I knew everything was going to be all right.
00:44:06She's just got a beautiful smile.
00:44:08She is absolutely stunning.
00:44:11You look lovely.
00:44:13Come and join me on this carpet.
00:44:16Now, can I...
00:44:18Well, we'll hold them together.
00:44:18Yes.
00:44:19How are you feeling?
00:44:20Yeah, good.
00:44:21Come back out now.
00:44:22No.
00:44:22No running away now.
00:44:24That's right.
00:44:24Wow.
00:44:27So handsome.
00:44:30Like, beautifully tan, dark features.
00:44:34I'm very happy.
00:44:37Guys can leave me stranded with him.
00:44:39It's totally fine.
00:44:42You have very sparkly eyes.
00:44:43Oh, thank you.
00:44:44I don't know whether it's me or they just sparkle all the time,
00:44:49but I've definitely noticed them.
00:44:51Oh, thank you.
00:44:55Oula.
00:44:56Oula.
00:44:57Yeah.
00:44:58We gathered on this day to witness and celebrate
00:45:01the start of a relationship,
00:45:03the marriage of Chad and Georgia.
00:45:05The way that I express my emotions is through poetry,
00:45:11so that's how I've written my vows.
00:45:12I love it.
00:45:15So this is going to be our story
00:45:17of the day we properly met,
00:45:20to be wedded,
00:45:20then whisked away
00:45:21to create memories that haven't happened yet.
00:45:23I hope to earn your trust
00:45:26and learn of your tales
00:45:27to get to know the real you
00:45:29right down to the nitty-gritty details.
00:45:33I promise to look after you on the island,
00:45:35take comfort that I've got your back.
00:45:38If you're liking what you're hearing so far,
00:45:40then give this hand a smack.
00:45:42Yes.
00:45:44I cannot wait to start each day laughing
00:45:46and end each night with a dance.
00:45:48What do you say?
00:45:49Shall we get started
00:45:50and star in our very own Disney romance?
00:45:52Yes.
00:45:53That was awesome.
00:45:58Georgia, if you would like to read yours.
00:46:01To my husband,
00:46:03thank you for showing up.
00:46:07A little bit about
00:46:08who you are marrying today.
00:46:11I have been left at the altar before.
00:46:17It's taken all of my strength
00:46:19to be here after what I experienced.
00:46:22It's taken all of my life.
00:46:23It's taken all of my life.
00:46:24However,
00:46:26that experience doesn't define me,
00:46:28nor has it changed my perspective
00:46:31on finding my forever person.
00:46:33It actually has made me a stronger person and is bringing me closer to finding the love that I deserve.
00:46:41Just being here today,
00:46:43I do feel a sense of pride.
00:46:48I do feel a sense of pride.
00:46:50It's very scary.
00:46:52Reopening my heart to someone.
00:46:55Please repeat after me.
00:46:56but I do really trust this process I give you this ring I give you this ring I'm
00:47:02willing to make myself vulnerable let it be a symbol let it be a symbol of all
00:47:08that we share of all that we share of all that we share this could be the
00:47:13start of a happily ever after I now pronounce you as husband
00:47:20happy yeah good good should we get out of here
00:47:30look I don't think anyone can be ready to spend three weeks on a deserted island
00:47:43but I'm really glad that I'm spending it with Georgia
00:47:46I think what we're doing is completely scary oh here we go ready for this next adventure
00:47:56and I don't know anything at a deeper level about Georgia but I know her walk
00:48:09Georgia and I have come here with our own stories to tell things that have shaped us from the past
00:48:16so I'm really excited to discover everything about who she is let's get this thing started
00:48:22that looks like our little hut
00:48:27honeymoon hut
00:48:29it's hard to confuse it against all the other huts around here isn't it
00:48:32you wouldn't want to be drunk and go
00:48:35I know which hut do I get to which hut is it
00:48:38oh thank god oh my goodness look at that
00:48:41so nice
00:48:44beautiful oh there's a oh there's a fish
00:48:46I think I'm still in shock that I just got married so there's that initial shock but I also think yeah it hasn't fully hit me yet that I'm stranded
00:49:00I think tonight it will hit me and I'll be like where's my hot shower where's my robe where's my skin care and then I'll be like oh yeah there's nothing I'm stranded on an island
00:49:06I think tonight it will hit me and I'll be like where's my hot shower where's my robe where's my skin care and then I'll be like oh yeah there's nothing I'm stranded on an island

00:49:38and um I don't want to rush into anything physical
00:49:42it's really important for me to take things slow considering what happened last time
00:49:47should we go and have an explore and have a look around yep sounds good
00:49:52our first three couples are officially stranded on honeymoon island
00:49:58and as their first day as newlyweds winds down

00:54:01I don't know
00:54:02it's just very standoffish
00:54:04wifey
00:54:06I might need your hand
00:54:08it's really windy there
00:54:09yeah yeah yeah
00:54:11I don't know what's happened to Bree
00:54:12I wonder if it's me
00:54:14or
00:54:15this is really
00:54:16outside her comfort zone
00:54:17you know
00:54:18and
00:54:19it's tough to know
00:54:20you see how it's just burning a bit too quick
00:54:22no
00:54:23it looks like a fire
00:54:25this is dating
00:54:26I've never thought of doing
00:54:28um
00:54:29and now I'm in this situation
00:54:31I'm thrown in the deep end
00:54:33maybe you forget this a bit higher
00:54:35I got it
00:54:36I got it
00:54:38this is a team
00:54:40yeah
00:54:41to survive this island
00:54:42we need to work together
00:54:43and be able to communicate
00:54:45it's hard to know what she's thinking
00:54:48I kind of want to give
00:54:50this whole experience a chance
00:54:52and I do want to get to know her for who she is
00:54:54I'm going to sort out this
00:54:56alright let me know when you
00:54:57if you need me
00:54:59it's tough to navigate
00:55:01but I'm here to build something
00:55:03pretty special and
00:55:05I'm not sure if we are on the same page
00:55:12can we do that for you?
00:55:14no I'm good
00:55:16yesterday was a big day for both of us
00:55:19Amy was trying to
00:55:21be very assertive
00:55:23very early
00:55:25it was making it very challenging
00:55:27if you do it on that wood block there
00:55:28then you won't get sand when you crack it over
00:55:30yeah okay
00:55:31I can rinse it off
00:55:32I'm fine
00:55:34a lot of women I've dated in the past
00:55:36they were more like
00:55:38yeah I love a man to take charge
00:55:40so it would be nice if she just appreciated that a little bit
00:55:43but I can appreciate that women are emotional
00:55:46so that could just be because of nerves whatever
00:55:50and I've seen from the get-go that girl's got a sparkle
00:55:53I could see it then I'm like okay cool
00:55:54so let's try and bring that out
00:55:57you know flirt, joke around
00:55:59and see if there's a connection there
00:56:01Amy might be a lot of things but that girl's still good looking
00:56:04yeah she's a baby
00:56:06can I just ask what you're intending and making or is this going to be a surprise?
00:56:09I was thinking like a miniskirt
00:56:12so we'll just see how we go
00:56:14just remember
00:56:16less is more
00:56:18okay
00:56:20give me the rundown, style it, work it, you're a tiger
00:56:23I'll cut like a long strip of this and it will become like a boob tube top
00:56:29you had me sold at that
00:56:31yeah okay
00:56:33I thought you'd like that
00:56:35this is like my own little fashion show
00:56:36I'm liking this
00:56:38do I get a dance too?
00:56:40no
00:56:42sorting my dress out was super awkward
00:56:44um
00:56:47tits out
00:56:49will I get in trouble if I sneak pig?
00:56:51I'm not giving any of the flirty banter back
00:56:53because I just don't feel it
00:56:55um
00:56:57yeah
00:56:58it actually is so much better than the towel
00:57:00I'm so happy
00:57:01hands up hands up
00:57:02you're leaving me hanging
00:57:07this is our first dance
00:57:08no no
00:57:09come on first dance
00:57:11absolutely not
00:57:12ah you're a cracker

00:57:15I want to take the piss
00:57:16I want to have fun
00:57:17like ah
00:57:29it's the second day on Honeymoon Island
00:57:33and after a fairytale start at the wedding
00:57:36Bree and Byron are facing their first challenge as a married couple
00:57:40we got there? I thought we were going to get wet
00:57:43do you reckon?
00:57:44we could have a massive storm
00:57:46the island has triggered Bree's commitment issues
00:57:50and she's withdrawn from Byron who's got no idea why
00:57:53this morning I feel like there's a little bit of tension between Bree and I
00:58:00that looks
00:58:02not bad
00:58:04I would never eat this
00:58:05if I wasn't here
00:58:07she's been standoffish
00:58:09and I don't know why
00:58:11you know I'm still getting to know Bree
00:58:12so you know I'm trying to create a relationship there as well
00:58:18and anything that bugs you or is on your mind
00:58:21I think you know you've got to communicate those things
00:58:24I could sleep forever
00:58:27that's how tired I am
00:58:28really?
00:58:29yeah
00:58:30although I did have two small naps
00:58:32you did have a couple naps
00:58:34you had a nap at the most opportune moment
00:58:37right next to the fire
00:58:39and you do all the hard work?
00:58:40I needed a hand
00:58:41I was like
00:58:42you were tired
00:58:43was that the issue for you?
00:58:44I don't know I just felt like I felt a bit
00:58:47solo
00:58:49I needed your help
00:58:51and I was frustrated
00:58:53okay
00:58:55yeah I don't know it's just
00:58:56you just tap out like at random times
00:58:59and like maybe the time where I need you the most
00:59:04oh no I'm sorry
00:59:05and I yeah
00:59:07like I don't like I don't want to be useless around the route
00:59:10no no no
00:59:11at all
00:59:13I think I'm just overwhelmed still
00:59:15because this is wild and crazy
00:59:16and yeah
00:59:17I met you yesterday
00:59:18and that kind of is a lot for me
00:59:22what about just me?
00:59:25what do you mean?
00:59:26like how you're feeling and where you're at
00:59:29oh
00:59:30vulnerability
00:59:31yeah
00:59:33I want to talk about it
00:59:34but I like don't know
00:59:35like
00:59:37it's not something I'm comfortable with
00:59:39it's hard to ask about feelings
00:59:40it's hard to talk to you about feelings
00:59:41yeah
00:59:42yeah
00:59:45I knew that I had relationship issues
00:59:48I think I didn't realise how much I had relationship issues
00:59:51I feel like putting me on this island
00:59:53a lot of things are coming up
00:59:55especially about commitment and vulnerability
00:59:59and
01:00:01I really didn't think it'd be this hard
01:00:06something I need to work on
01:00:08it's kind of overwhelming me
01:00:10yeah
01:00:13yeah
01:00:14yeah
01:00:19yeah
01:00:20I feel like
01:00:22this experience and experiment
01:00:24is very much about like feelings
01:00:26and talking about feelings
01:00:27and being vulnerable
01:00:28and that's definitely not someone
01:00:30something that I am
01:00:32oh
01:00:33should I go grab this
01:00:36stuff around the fire?
01:00:37yeah
01:00:38bring it in
01:00:40I really just don't want to
01:00:42hit all up by being an idiot
01:00:44because that's how I feel like I'm being
01:00:45I'm like why am I so upset
01:00:46I'm with like the perfect guy
01:00:51I think Bree's working really hard on
01:00:53trying to open up trying to be vulnerable
01:00:55but I think she's still
01:00:58a bit bamboozled with the whole set up
01:01:03but I feel like opening up
01:01:05and being vulnerable
01:01:06that's where the most genuine connections are formed
01:01:09so I'm hoping it can develop
01:01:10I'm hoping it can develop
01:01:11but
01:01:13yeah
01:01:14we'll see
01:01:16this experience is going to demand a lot from our couples
01:01:20and if they can't move on from the bad habits of the past
01:01:25and face their own red flags
01:01:27it could spell the end before it even begins
01:01:29they've been alone on the island for 24 hours
01:01:33they've been alone on the island for 24 hours

01:04:11i think
01:04:13the most rewarding experience you can have in life is conquering your fears
01:04:16i think one of the things that totally held you back is a fear of failure
01:04:20a fear of commitment, a fear of loneliness
01:04:22and
01:04:24i can't think of a more radical way to conquer these fears
01:04:27than
01:04:28marrying a stranger on an island in a country you've never been to
01:04:31away from everyone and everything you know

01:07:48hello
01:07:50oh my god
01:07:52i wanted to send you a message before you embark on this experience
01:07:56that's my ex
01:07:58um and just try and give you i guess a bit of feedback about how our relationship went
01:08:06oh that's not going to work out well for me
01:08:08you know you're definitely capable of being a really great partner to someone
01:08:14but the biggest message from me is to be really respectful
01:08:19things happened in our relationship where you made me feel
01:08:23small
01:08:25don't nitpick
01:08:27don't overanalyse things
01:08:29and a message to your new partner
01:08:31she has to stick up for herself and be firm and be an equal
01:08:38good luck i hope it goes really well
01:08:41i love this too
01:08:43oh my god
01:08:45she's fabulous
01:08:47i find it interesting that she said
01:08:48you made her feel small
01:08:49um
01:08:51because
01:08:53yeah i think that's
01:08:55you know how i felt on day one so i can totally relate to that
01:08:59yeah
01:09:01hearing your exit kind of empowered me
01:09:03because i honestly feel like she has just said exactly how i've been feeling
01:09:07i think that i'm bang on about who i thought he was on day one and this is a pattern of behavior
01:09:14so yeah x if you're listening love you you're a legend
01:09:19i don't see where the big problem was at though like how exactly did that make you feel
01:09:23like i'm
01:09:25so to be honest there's been a lot of things that you've done that have made me uncomfortable
01:09:31belittled the alpha male the dominance the controlling your tone wasn't good
01:09:38spoken down to like i'm incapable of doing these things
01:09:42i've felt like an underlying misogyny from you
01:09:46and what was
01:09:48when we're cutting the wedding dress
01:09:50less is more like i'm not a piece of meat
01:09:53i've never heard that from anyone before
01:09:56well you're hearing from me now
01:09:58and i'm gonna tell you to your face because i don't think you're getting it
01:10:02i think there's a clear vibe that like i'm not feeling it
01:10:07i'm i'm not romantically feeling it
01:10:12i don't even think we're there as friends yet
01:10:15okay
01:10:19okay
01:10:20that was harsh
01:10:25no one's ever said that to me before
01:10:27the whole time just trying to be nice
01:10:30and just do like what men should do in this situation
01:10:34but it is what it is so moving on
01:10:38um
01:10:40yeah
01:10:41like just understand i'm just joking around having banter
01:10:46i think if you watch them back like
01:10:49it's not gonna look good
01:10:53i know who you are
01:10:56alright
01:10:57um i'll pop this on the nightstand
01:11:00i see you right there
01:11:02i have seen red flags from the very start
01:11:07and i think that he's going to be angry that i've seen through it
01:11:11and that i've called him on it
01:11:13yeah
01:11:15i just wanted it to be honeymoon island
01:11:17and i think it might be nightmare island
