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 myself into.
00:01:36There is no break, there's no space. I just wanted it to be Honeymoon Island and I think
00:01:42it might be Nightmare Island. But 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...
00:01:58This 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.
00:02:06Oh, okay, nice! ...to thrive together on a desert island.
00:02:11Do you have survival skills? It's hard my shoes are.
00:02:14Seriously!
00:02:16...20 dates, two minutes to chat, and no sharing of names or occupations.
00:02:22I was gonna introduce myself, but I probably shouldn't do that.
00:02:25And one Aussie guy who was causing quite a stir with the ladies.
00:02:30You're really nice to eat. Oh, thank you.
00:02:32Are they yours? Yeah, I didn't borrow them from anyone else's.
00:02:37You're super cute, I can't even talk. Thank you.
00:02:40Yeah, you've distracted me now, I can't even think properly.
00:02:42My brain's just like left the building. Number 11 was like super charming. He was funny.
00:02:48But no, it was a really good day. Two minutes isn't enough.
00:02:51It's not enough. Like I wanted more. I definitely wanted more.
00:02:54I'm Byron, I'm 33, and I live on the Gold Coast, Queensland.
00:02:59Am I a catch? I don't know. Just 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.
00:03:23Cheers to that. Cheers to that.
00:03:24The dude live a pretty amazing and busy life, but I feel like when you're busy, it keeps
00:03:30maybe the demons out of your head.
00:03:32We lost Mum in 2005.
00:03:40I was 15 years of age.
00:03:43Yeah, it was obviously tough.
00:03:48I don't think I really could wrap my head around it, apart from there was just this amazing
00:03:53figure in my life that wasn't there anymore.
00:03:57So, yeah, that's why I probably keep myself so busy.
00:04:02And I think the reason why I haven't had long relationships in my life is because I've always
00:04:07been on the go.
00:04:08It's quick, isn't it?
00:04:10It's so quick.
00:04:12I've just pushed the dating life aside, but finding love is important to me because
00:04:17I saw how much Mum loved Dad, and how much joy he brought her, and that's what I want.
00:04:23Hi!
00:04:24How are you?
00:04:24How are you?
00:04:25What's happening?
00:04:25I'm home.
00:04:26Cheers.
00:04:26I'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, you're with your wife, and you've got to make it work.
00:04:36What do you think?
00:04:37I don't know.
00:04:37I 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.
00:04:46What number would you choose?
00:04:49It'd probably be three.
00:04:50You look gorgeous, by the way.
00:04:51Obviously, first of all, she's beautiful.
00:04:55Really nice smile.
00:04:56Laughed a lot.
00:04:57There was a lot of laughing.
00:05:00I'm like, I'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?
00:05:14I'm handy.
00:05:15Great, because I'm good.
00:05:18All right, tell me, what is your favourite food?
00:05:21I know how to cook damper.
00:05:23I can cook damper.
00:05:24You could.
00:05:24What's that?
00:05:27I'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.
00:05:38The 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.
00:05:47I'm really excited.
00:05:47I need water.
00:05:52My name is Bree.
00:05:53I'm 28 years old.
00:05:55I'm from Melbourne, and I'm a performer.
00:05:57I would describe my personality as very bubbly,
00:06:00get a bit crazy sometimes.
00:06:02People think I'm a handful.
00:06:03I think it's a good thing.
00:06:04Aww.
00:06:05That'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.
00:06:28I think I have felt infatuation, and I've 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?
00:06:57Even though I want to be with someone, I think secretly, deep down, I might be a little frightened
00:07:04of 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, I won't be able to do that.
00:07:17Well, Bree, buckle up, because the adventure starts now.
00:07:21This self-described commitment-phobe is about to make the ultimate vow,
00:07:30but she has no idea who she'll be marrying.
00:07:35This is probably the wildest, craziest thing I've ever done, and I've done crazy things.
00:07:41And that's it, Marie.
00:07:42I have no idea what I got myself into, but not being able to run will put me in a position to build
00:07:48a relationship. I want to feel that with someone.
00:07:51As much as I am scared of commitment, I am ready to be in love.
00:07:56I'm going to vomit, I think, on his feet.
00:07:58I've got butterflies in my stomach, and my heart is racing a lot.
00:08:03I'm going into something completely blind.
00:08:06I have no idea who he is, what he does, what's his name, where he lives.
00:08:12I feel like I'm taking a huge risk.
00:08:22Hi.
00:08:22How are you?
00:08:23How was a long walk?
00:08:25You look so beautiful.
00:08:28This is weird.
00:08:31Wow.
00:08:32Wow.
00:08:33So happy.
00:08:35Yeah, me too.
00:08:37How was everything it was you?
00:08:38I was everything it was you too.
00:08:40Really?
00:08:40I was like, how was the dancing girl?
00:08:42I'm very happy.
00:08:45I feel very relaxed now.
00:08:49There was definitely sparks at first.
00:08:52I felt that at speed dating, and it was there again today.
00:08:55I'm Brie, by the way.
00:08:57I'm Byron.
00:08:59Like the baby.
00:09:00I'm Brie like the cheese.
00:09:02That's good.
00:09:02Oh, okay.
00:09:05I was kind of breathless for a little hot moment there.
00:09:07Hey, I was blown away how beautiful she is, and I saw it before at the speed dating,
00:09:13and she looks even better now.
00:09:15I'm such a lucky guy.
00:09:18Hello, Brie and Byron.
00:09:19Hi.
00:09:20We're gathered on this day to witness and celebrate the marriage of Brie and Byron.
00:09:28We come together to mark the start of a relationship, and a bond that will strengthen
00:09:33throughout your marriage 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 each other.
00:09:44Byron, if you would like to read yours to breathe.
00:09:47Dear wifey,
00:09:55I ventured into this once in a lifetime adventure just as blind, curious, nervous, and hopeful as you.
00:10:02Not knowing what to expect in what only can be described as a love experiment,
00:10:08I found myself 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 look like.
00:10:23Looking back to when my mum passed, I feel so very lucky to have had such an incredible woman in my life.
00:10:30I look at this as an opportunity, put myself in a position to be vulnerable, to learn about someone with no distractions.
00:10:38I promise, I promise to make you laugh, I hope to be the highlight of your day, and the constant in your life.
00:10:46And hopefully in the end of the day, we find love.
00:10:49I want to kiss you. I want to kiss you, I can't.
00:10:56Oh, thank you. That's beautiful.
00:10:59Bri, if you would like to read yours to Byron.
00:11:04Okay.
00:11:08Ever since I was a little girl, I've always dreamed of my wedding.
00:11:12What I was never able to picture is who would be brave enough to choose me to spend the rest of
00:11:16their life with, and love me for all my irks and quirks. As it turns out, that person is a complete
00:11:22stranger. Lucky you.
00:11:24I have never been in love before. It'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 and jump out of my comfort zone.
00:11:37Opening 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 to Bree land.
00:11:48I hope to be your person, and I hope you can Bree mine.
00:11:54Thank you. Those are beautiful words you said. Thank you.
00:11:59Bree. Byron. I give you this ring. I give you this ring as a token of my love.
00:12:06Let it be a symbol of all that we share. Of all that we share.
00:12:11Bree and Byron, I now pronounce you as husband and wife. Byron, you may now kiss your wife.
00:12:24I wanted to kiss her as soon as she walked down the aisle. Yeah, there was definitely chemistry and
00:12:30that physical attraction. I think it's a great start to a relationship. So yeah, it was beautiful.
00:12:40I'm very happy with the result. Yeah, he made me feel very relaxed and calm and kept on rubbing my
00:12:46hands and like made me feel like secure. It was cute. How crazy is it to look down at that and know
00:12:52you're married? I'm married? It's pretty crazy. I looked down. It hasn't hit me yet. It's it's pretty
00:13:00wild. I don't. Yeah, I'm married. I'm married. It's wild. Oh, yeah. I'm someone's wife, that poor guy.
00:13:15Oh, well, Bree and Byron, that was the easy part. But I love the beach and I go to Bali a lot. It's
00:13:30quite similar. Bree and Byron are now on their way to Honeymoon Island, where they must live together
00:13:37for 21 days. They must say goodbye to their lives as they know them. On Honeymoon Island, there's no
00:13:47phones, no luxuries, and they'll be completely cut off from their family and friends. How will 21 Days
00:13:56Stranded change them? I'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. And while Bree and Byron make the
00:14:17journey to shore, another bride is waiting her turn to jump in. The only time I really get nervous is if
00:14:28I'm doing stand-up comedy. I take a lot of nervous shits. But yeah, outside of that, I don't really get nervous.
00:14:39What does your mum and dad think if you get married this morning? Dad was like, that's gonna be so great, eh?
00:14:43And mum's just like, don't have sex. I'm Amy, I'm 30 years old, and I'm from Queensland.
00:14:52I would describe my personality as a bit of a princess at times. Um, definitely like, outrageous,
00:15:01fun, but I have extremely bad luck when it comes to men. And I have a TikTok sharing my crazy dating
00:15:11stories. I just found out that the guy I've been seeing is a pathological liar. He lied to me about
00:15:16his mum dying while we were together. He lied to me about owning a business. He lied to me about living
00:15:21in Switzerland. He lied to me about having an interior design degree. He lied about his parents
00:15:26owning a beach house in Italy. He lied to me about his two ex-girlfriends cheating on him. One of which
00:15:31he told me a fantastical story about her cheating on him with her own brother. He 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. Like, they think that I'm this bold,
00:15:49crazy person, which I am. But I also have this other side of me that takes a little bit longer
00:15:54to get to know. And I'm very genuine. I have a lot of love to give and I want my forever person
00:16:01who sees both sides. But I have no radar for really toxic people. Why can't I gauge whether someone's
00:16:12genuine? On an island stranded, you see people's true colours. You'll get to know them very quickly.
00:16:18It'll be fast-tracked. And that's the beauty of this whole experience.
00:16:23Oh my God. Hello. When I look for a partner, firstly, I want someone to match my energy. I've been with
00:16:31introverted people and it didn't work out. I see some height, which is nice. Secondly, needs to be hot.
00:16:39Come on. That's where it all starts. Like, if I'm not attracted to you, I'm not going to like you.
00:16:43Hello, salmon jacket. Nice to meet you. Yeah, you too. Is that a man bun? It's so far off,
00:16:50I can't see. It is a man bun. Number 18. There was just like a connection immediately.
00:16:55Okay. Well, to be honest, you were exactly my type. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay,
00:16:59you're kind of my type too. Oh, that's good stuff. I just feel like there was like a little sparkle in his
00:17:07eye. I don't know what you've been told. But time is running out. No need to take it slow.
00:17:14I'm Hayden, living in Melbourne, 29 years old. And I think my hair's become more of a selling point
00:17:20than I thought it was going to be. I do get a little bit of attention from girls. Oh, you know,
00:17:25there's a six foot four long hair and it's become a signature hair. I'm definitely a pretty confident
00:17:31guy. I can spin a yarn with anyone. But then when I'm not, I do like to really chill out and recharge.
00:17:38I'm a massive rom-com fan. I do love my chick flicks. I'm a bit of a romantic,
00:17:45big believer in love at first sight. And I'm so ready to settle down. And what I've been doing
00:17:51hasn't worked for me. So I'm just trying to reel out of the box experience and just hoping that this
00:17:56is my turn. I guess I'm looking for my own sort of rom-com. Can you guess what sport I play?
00:18:01Um, basketball. AFL. Close. It's usually one of the other. Involves a ball. I like things that
00:18:10involve balls. In terms of looks, definitely my type. I liked his outfit. I liked everything.
00:18:17So nice to meet you. But number three, the banter was on point. Nice to meet you. I'm number three.
00:18:24You're number three. I'm number two. Do you know what the ironic thing is? This is actually my real name
00:18:28in life. Real life is three. It's three, really. Mine's ten. Is it?
00:18:33My name's Mike. I'm 37 and I'm a Kiwi living in New South Wales. And I guess I've got a big personality.
00:18:47I host a motorsport show. So I'd say I'm pretty masculine. I'm definitely headstrong,
00:18:52alpha male, want to go and get shit done. As 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. But every single goal I hit,
00:19:03I feel like I'm missing the biggest goal of them all. I don't like being single at 37. Like, come on.
00:19:09You know, this is the time now where I'm like, I want to have a family. This whole process is very
00:19:14different to, I think, anyone's done before. You have no technology. You have no phone. You have only
00:19:21the person that you're with. It's going to really separate the men from the boys for sure.
00:19:27I'm actually single. Are you? I actually left my wife at home today.
00:19:31We had a really good laugh. I felt like we had a lot in common. You do stand up, Cody.
00:19:36Just for fun. So do I. Stop it.
00:19:39Yeah, I do stand up. There was a lot of vibing going on. Really liked him.
00:19:43So I'm picturing my experience with two different men. Number 18 and number three. They're very
00:19:51different. But I have one person in mind who I really hope it is. And now I'm just ready to go.
00:19:58So put me on an island, lock me up, throw away the key.
00:20:06Amy's big moment is here. Our matchmakers have paired her with the man they believe
00:20:12she is most compatible with. But Amy won't find out who it is until she meets him at the end of the
00:20:20aisle. I 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.
00:20:33So the fact I don't know who my husband is, is very daunting. The person I'm hoping for,
00:20:42he was very tall, he was very handsome, brown hair, cute smile. I just want to find him really hot.
00:20:49And I want to have a great connection. I want to laugh a lot with him and just have a really
00:20:54great time. And just embrace this experience together.
00:21:03It means everything to me to find love. I genuinely believe it's the most important thing in life.
00:21:10Oh God, okay. So I'm really hoping that this is finally my turn. And if it's not who I'm
00:21:19expecting, I'll... Yeah, but we'll suck. You will be able to tell if I'm not happy.
00:21:28I don't have a good poker face.
00:21:30Oh God, okay.
00:21:45If it's not who I'm expecting...
00:21:48Yeah, that will suck. Sweeting in places I didn't know could sweep.
00:21:53You will be able to tell if I'm not happy. I don't have a good poker face.
00:22:05Oh, what up boss?
00:22:07You look stunning.
00:22:12Oh, thank you.
00:22:12I'm Mike.
00:22:13You too.
00:22:16Oh, where do I stand?
00:22:18I honestly don't know.
00:22:19Okay.
00:22:19I'm sore. I've just been over here sort of nervous.
00:22:21Okay.
00:22:23You 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.
00:22:29I immediately saw that he didn't have a man bun. I was hoping for the guy with the salmon jacket on,
00:22:39so I was, um, disappointed immediately.
00:22:46How's our needs feeling for coming into this?
00:22:48Um, I was about a six now. I'm about a ten, so yeah.
00:22:51Oh, that makes you so much feel better. The whole time I was like,
00:22:54what happens if I turn around and she goes, nah.
00:22:59Okay. Do we like start now? What happens?
00:23:03We're just having a little chat.
00:23:05Oh, okay.
00:23:06All right. Well, how'd your morning go?
00:23:08She's a babe.
00:23:09A little blondie, but it was exactly the girl that I knew I was going to be, and I was,
00:23:13I was stoked.
00:23:14When we met at the speed dating thing, I was like, that's my number one.
00:23:18Oh, okay. Thank you. That's very nice.
00:23:22I was all pumped up about it.
00:23:25Okay. Great. I'm good.
00:23:28Chemistry. I felt it straight away, and I think she felt the same, so let the fun times roll.
00:23:37Hi. Hi.
00:23:38Welcome to your wedding.
00:23:40Yay.
00:23:41We're here today to witness the vows of Amy and Mike as you commit to each other in marriage.
00:23:49And now it's your turn to offer your promises to each other.
00:23:52Amy, you ready?
00:23:56Yes.
00:24:00Hello, handsome. I mean, husband.
00:24:04Let's start with the obvious.
00:24:05Marrying a complete stranger is quite literally insane.
00:24:08But I can assure you, it's not the craziest thing I've done.
00:24:11Oh, that's exactly what I was thinking too.
00:24:14Don't worry. I 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.
00:24:20You're funny.
00:24:22Since I know nothing about you, I'll gladly take this opportunity to talk about me.
00:24:27Those who know me will tell you that I have a split personality, but don't worry.
00:24:32I'm not crazy or anything.
00:24:34I have a lot of love to give, which in the past has gone to pathological liars, narcissists, and mediocre men.
00:24:41So I'm here today in the hopes that trying something drastically new will finally break this pattern.
00:24:45You'll be sweet. I got you.
00:24:46I know what I want, and I definitely know what I don't want.
00:24:49That goes both ways.
00:24:50I can't promise to always be perfect, but as I always say, under-promise, over-deliver.
00:24:57That was great. Well done.
00:24:58All right, Mike, you ready?
00:25:01Yep.
00:25:03Kia ora and hello to you, my new wife, my squeeze.
00:25:10So, my mum sent me something the other day that I thought would kick this off with a laugh.
00:25:14Apparently, I've actually written my vowels before when I was eight years old.
00:25:18Oh, my God.
00:25:20Marriage will be super cool.
00:25:22We could buy really sick BMX bikes and 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 or mum can come and live with us.
00:25:33Already planning the divorce. How good?
00:25:36I hope she likes fire trucks.
00:25:39I like fire men. Does that count?
00:25:43Oh, here we go.
00:25:44Let's see what older doors thinks about marriage.
00:25:47They say that marriage is the journey.
00:25:48Well, in this journey, you've already walked 10 steps,
00:25:51and I look forward to taking my first steps with you.
00:25:53A little bit about me.
00:25:55A hobby of mine is stand-up comedy.
00:25:58I will always have a smile on my dial,
00:25:59and my love language is 100% gentle bullying.
00:26:03Okay. Cool, same.
00:26:04I'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 and literally my dream.
00:26:16However, now more than ever, I 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 when I was young that I lived my life by.
00:26:27It's a man's job to make a woman feel loved, and in turn, she will respect you.
00:26:32I got you, girl.
00:26:34Great. You killed it. That's great.
00:26:35Is that okay?
00:26:36Yeah, I loved it.
00:26:37Okay. Cool.
00:26:37I'm nervous.
00:26:39Amy, do you take Mike to be your partner, your friend, and your husband?
00:26:45I do.
00:26:46Mike, do you take Amy to be your partner, your 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 to declare you to be husband and wife.
00:27:06It's time. Let's seal it with a kiss.
00:27:09Oh, my God.
00:27:12Booyah! I did it.
00:27:15PG, baby.
00:27:18Three weeks of Amy will be fun.
00:27:20Survival stuff. That's where I'll thrive because I'm a Kiwi and I'm just used to this stuff.
00:27:23Let's go. It's like glamping, you know. I'm keen for this heart out.
00:27:26Look where we are.
00:27:28Yeah, this is amazing.
00:27:28If you can't have a smile on your dial with this, there 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, she'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.
00:27:50It'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.
00:27:57I'm getting so much sea sprays.
00:28:01Bye-bye makeup.
00:28:03He's not who I wanted.
00:28:05But he seems really fun.
00:28:07We've been matched for a reason.
00:28:09I want to give him a chance and maybe I do need someone with a bigger personality to challenge me.
00:28:16So, you know, God, maybe it'll work out.
00:28:19We'll see.
00:28:21Woo!
00:28:22From the island.
00:28:22So, guys, I think that's where we're sleeping.
00:28:24That is.
00:28:26Oh, my God.
00:28:27I'm excited.
00:28:27Yo.
00:28:28Okay, no 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 and 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 grow.
00:28:54What could possibly go wrong?
00:29:04Help.
00:29:09Sorry, sorry.
00:29:17Are you good?
00:29:18Yeah, I'm fine.
00:29:18Are you floating?
00:29:20Yeah, 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.
00:29:28We're on the island.
00:29:31Just a whole bunch of sea salt.
00:29:39Just married Bree and Byron have made it to shore.
00:29:44Look at this place.
00:29:47Basically strangers a few hours ago, they've taken a huge leap of faith together in the name of love.
00:29:55It'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.
00:30:16Holy shit.
00:30:17Here we are.
00:30:18This place is magical.
00:30:20Hey, like.
00:30:20Oh, we got a nice view.
00:30:22Looking around, there's not a single landmark in sight.
00:30:27I feel like I'm the set of castaway or something like that.
00:30:30Oh my god.
00:30:30There's a wedding cake.
00:30:33Without names on it.
00:30:34Good.
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.
00:30:40First things first.
00:30:41Let's cut it off.
00:30:42I saw an axe.
00:30:43There's an axe.
00:30:44Go.
00:30:44Machete?
00:30:45Yeah.
00:30:46Now that I'm here.
00:30:47Cutting the dress is probably like the top of the priority list.
00:30:51It's so heavy.
00:30:53I'll get the 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.
00:31:07I 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.
00:31:12Uh-huh.
00:31:14So maybe like do layer at a time.
00:31:15Okay.
00:31:16That can take it.
00:31:17Bri, what have I learned so far?
00:31:20It seems like I'll be doing a lot of the heavy lifting
00:31:22because she's got very minimal survival skills.
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.
00:31:38Yeah, you are a scientist.
00:31:39Like a pirate one?
00:31:40Yes.
00:31:41Bri 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, I'm Bri.
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 is going to be like with Bri.
00:32:02Should we have some cake?
00:32:03A hundred percent.
00:32:04Should we do the whole thing together?
00:32:06You want to cut with the cucumber?
00:32:08I'm down if you want to cut.
00:32:10You cut your way and then I'll cut my way.
00:32:12See?
00:32:13Perfect.
00:32:14Byron is such a nice guy.
00:32:16Here we go.
00:32:17He's very handy and I'm having fun.
00:32:20He ticks pretty much all my boxes and I wouldn't want to leave here with anyone else.
00:32:25It's not nice when that happens to you.
00:32:34That actually kind of in my eye.
00:32:36Yeah.
00:32:37But I'm starting to feel quite overwhelmed.
00:32:42Um, yeah, I've never really been in a serious relationship before so it's been a huge step and
00:32:47as fun as like the whole wedding and stuff is, it's like as soon as things start to get serious,
00:32:52I get scared and run.
00:32:53Wow, look where we are.
00:32:55I know.
00:32:56But we're married so that's like the ultimate commitment.
00:33:00Like you have, like I don't think it's, it's not him, it's me.
00:33:06That fear of commitment is definitely like kicking in.
00:33:10Now I'm on an island stranded and it's just us two.
00:33:13We're stranded here.
00:33:15That's true.
00:33:17I really do like him and I am attracted to him so I'm really hoping I don't self-sabotage.
00:33:22Yeah.
00:33:26A little sailboat.
00:33:28I know.
00:33:29Come help.
00:33:32While Brie fights the urge to self-sabotage,
00:33:36for new bride Amy arriving on honeymoon island has triggered a very different response.
00:33:42I need to actually pee.
00:33:46Now I'm just gonna pretend.
00:33:48That's my whole line.
00:33:49Can you go away for a sec?
00:33:51Not too far though, just in case a wave comes.
00:33:54What a rollercoaster.
00:33:56Started the day very upset.
00:33:59Like who marries a stranger and then gets deserted on an island.
00:34:03I don't want it to get stuck in the fabric.
00:34:06I want it to wash alone.
00:34:10I was a bit shocked when I saw Mike at the altar, but it's not an issue with him whatsoever.
00:34:16He's a good person and 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 first day?
00:34:27I mean, I don't want to.
00:34:29Because this is logistically impossible.
00:34:31Oh my god, do you see what I see?
00:34:33Check it out!
00:34:34There's a pain!
00:34:35Life in Amy!
00:34:36Oh my god, it's so cute.
00:34:38I will sort you out of a 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, like the beach is absolutely stunning.
00:34:49I'm looking forward to morning swims, afternoon beach walks.
00:34:53I'm so excited.
00:34:54Okay, welcome to Honeymoon Island.
00:34:58Yeah, we're good.
00:34:58Okay.
00:34:59Are you going to get glasses?
00:35:00No, no, literally just boring swimming.
00:35:02Okay.
00:35:02Just a little bit.
00:35:07Ah, damn.
00:35:10You're the perfect heart to pour.
00:35:12Mine's useless, but yours is great.
00:35:15Okay.
00:35:15Crumb like a tree.
00:35:16Okay, so.
00:35:18Are you hungry?
00:35:18Shall we like make a spot where we can sit?
00:35:22Because that doesn't look particularly comfortable.
00:35:24I think first and foremost, let me just have a look around.
00:35:30I'm here.
00:35:31That's cool.
00:35:31That'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 realize that.
00:35:39I'm just having a look.
00:35:41It's definitely not rough, but it's definitely not
00:35:46luxury.
00:35:47Oh, okay.
00:35:47So that's our water.
00:35:48Water.
00:35:48I grew up in New Zealand though.
00:35:50Us Kiwi boys, we know what we're doing with this.
00:35:52We'll be sweet.
00:35:52I got this.
00:35:53I'm Kiwi bro too.
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.
00:36:02Yeah.
00:36:03Maybe, maybe.
00:36:04No, no, no.
00:36:04Maybe I could get out of my wedding dress.
00:36:06There's nothing to get changed in right now.
00:36:07So just, just stay there and I'll sort it out.
00:36:09So what we'll do.
00:36:10What are you going to sort?
00:36:13One thing I dreaded the most was to be on an island with someone who
00:36:16didn'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 because 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 going to dry like that.
00:36:33Is this, this shadow is going to come straight over this.
00:36:36Look, she's a woman.
00:36:38You know, I'm the man.
00:36:39Just chill out.
00:36:39I got this.
00:36:40I reckon we cut the netting out of it because we're going to need some sort of
00:36:44protection from bugs.
00:36:45I've got a funny feeling it's going to be too small as a net.
00:36:48I've got a funny feeling we can make it work.
00:36:50Okay.
00:36:50Go 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, then we can go from there.
00:36:57All right.
00:36:58Well, I'll sit and watch you do the fire while I hack away at my dress.
00:37:01How about that?
00:37:01Okay.
00:37:02Yeah.
00:37:02I just don't want to be like, let's go do this.
00:37:04And she's like, let's go do that.
00:37:06So we need to find a way to be able to just nip that in the butt.
00:37:10We should be able to literally get like, because we can attach other bits of the net
00:37:14to 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.
00:37:20Can you, can you just trust me on some things?
00:37:22Okay.
00:37:23Um, I feel like there's a bit of a power struggle going on.
00:37:28Um, it'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, it's going to be, it's going to be a battle for control.
00:37:44I don't know why she's trying to lead.
00:37:45She 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, today we'll bring 46 years of bachelor life to an end with a splash.
00:38:03At 46 years of age, I could be seen as an eligible bachelor.
00:38:09But if I remain single and I get much older, then everyone's going to look at me like a giant red flag.
00:38:15Why is this guy still single at 46?
00:38:17I'm Chad. I'm 46 and I work in the field of orthopaedics.
00:38:25I supply all the medical devices that go into people's bodies when 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. We're the last line of defense before amputation.
00:38:40I've always been passionate about helping people. That's been ingrained in me since childhood.
00:38:45Maddy, ready for your coffee?
00:38:47I want to do with these 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. Drink the coffee.
00:39:00Yummy.
00:39:01Nice and comfy, 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 to help mum,
00:39:13because mum was, you know, a single parent and working as well.
00:39:16Do you want the doughnut or does Chad get to have the doughnut?
00:39:19Eh?
00:39:25My family situation complicates my dating life because I think I invest a lot of emotional
00:39:30bandwidth in my mum and sister. I've always protected my time so I can be there for mum and Madison.
00:39:38Typically what I've navigated to is relationships with women who don't require any emotional energy.
00:39:46So they're always short-lived.
00:39:49I'm doing this experience because for the three weeks that I'm with this person, they get 100% of me.
00:39:57There is no distractions. There's no family distractions, no work distractions.
00:40:03It's literally stripping it right back to two people getting to know one another and seeing
00:40:08whether there's a click, whether there's a vibe and we can expand on that and grow love in that
00:40:14experience or at least the foundation of love.
00:40:17Hi there, how are you?
00:40:18Thank you. 17. I always...
00:40:21That was the first time like this evening where I almost said my name.
00:40:25There was definitely a lot of women in the group, in the selection that made me laugh out loud.
00:40:30Okay, how's your...
00:40:30How's your...
00:40:31Oh, no!
00:40:32Thank you!
00:40:32Jinks!
00:40:34There was a lot of fun moments, which is really cool.
00:40:37Oh, thank you so much.
00:40:38I don't think she needs any more shampoo. She's roasting me.
00:40:41But the ones that had that, but with the combination of attraction, I've managed to nail it down to what?
00:40:48Hi.
00:40:49Well, hello there.
00:40:50Hello, lucky number seven.
00:40:52Oh, thank you.
00:40:54That's actually my favourite number.
00:40:55Really? Well, hello, number nine. I was going to say you're about a nine out of ten.
00:40:59Oh!
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. Cheesy pick-up one.
00:41:09My name is Georgia. I'm an international flight attendant and I'm 35 years old.
00:41:16What is exciting about my career is that no day is the same. I'm getting to travel, exploring new
00:41:24places, new destinations, meeting new people. I love the lifestyle. But it can be a little bit lonely.
00:41:37I have been engaged before. I was with my ex-partner for two and a half years. And we had planned
00:41:46a destination wedding. And three days out.
00:41:54He said, I'm not coming to the wedding. Just like that.
00:42:00There was no sorry. There was no, like, there was just no real empathy in what he was saying either.
00:42:11It was just cold-hearted, delivered. I'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.
00:42:30But I want love.
00:42:35Last time I was in paradise, I got my heart broken.
00:42:41It was soul-destroying.
00:42:43But if I let that experience define me, I will never have that beautiful relationship
00:42:52I've always dreamt of.
00:42:55I still do believe that there are good men out there.
00:42:58And after everything I've been through, I know what I deserve.
00:43:03And I'm really hoping for the Disney fairytale ending that I didn't have last time.
00:43:20Last 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 and I'm really hoping for the Disney fairytale ending
00:43:43that I didn't have last time.
00:43:51Hello.
00:43:53How are you?
00:43:54Good, how are you?
00:43:55Good, good.
00:43:56You look beautiful.
00:43:58Amazing.
00:44:00Wow.
00:44:01As soon as I turned around and saw her, I knew everything was going to be all right.
00:44:06She's just got a beautiful smile.
00:44:08She is absolutely stunning.
00:44:10You look lovely.
00:44:13Come and join me on this carpet.
00:44:17Can I, well, 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, there's no running away now.
00:44:24That's right.
00:44:26Wow.
00:44:28So handsome, like beautifully tan, dark features.
00:44:34I'm very happy.
00:44:35Guys can leave me stranded with him.
00:44:39It's totally fine.
00:44:42You have very sparkly eyes.
00:44:43Oh, thank you.
00:44:46I 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.
00:44:52Yeah.
00:44:55Bula.
00:44:56Bula.
00:44:56Bula.
00:44:56Bula.
00:44:59We gathered on this day to witness and celebrate the 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 of the day we properly met,
00:45:20to be wedded, then whisked away to create memories that haven't happened yet.
00:45:24I hope to earn your trust and learn of your tales,
00:45:28to get to know the real you right down to the nitty gritty details.
00:45:31I 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, then give this hand a smack.
00:45:44I cannot wait to start each day laughing and end each night with a dance.
00:45:48What do you say?
00:45:49Shall we get started and star in our very own Disney romance?
00:45:52Yes.
00:45:54That was awesome.
00:45:58Georgia, if you would like to read yours.
00:46:01To my husband.
00:46:04Thank you for showing up.
00:46:07A little bit about who you are marrying today.
00:46:11I have been left at the altar before.
00:46:17It's taken all of my strength to be here after what I experienced.
00:46:22However, that experience doesn't define me, nor has it changed my perspective on finding my forever person.
00:46:34It 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, I do feel a sense of pride.
00:46:51It's very scary reopening my heart to someone.
00:46:54Please repeat after me.
00:46:55Please repeat after me.
00:46:56But I do really trust this process.
00:46:59I give you this ring.
00:47:00I give you this ring.
00:47:01I'm willing to make myself vulnerable.
00:47:05Let it be a symbol.
00:47:06Let it be a symbol.
00:47:07Of all that we share.
00:47:09Of all that we share.
00:47:10Of all that we share.
00:47:13This could be the start of a happily ever after.
00:47:16I now pronounce you as husband.
00:47:18Everyone.
00:47:25Happy?
00:47:26Yeah.
00:47:26Good, good.
00:47:29Shall we get out of here?
00:47:30Let's get it.
00:47:30Shall we?
00:47:31Let's do it.
00:47:39Look, I don't think anyone can be ready to spend three weeks on a deserted island,
00:47:44but I'm really glad that I'm spending it with Georgia.
00:47:49I think what we're doing is completely scary.
00:47:54Oh, here we go.
00:47:54Ready for this next adventure?
00:47:56Are we ready?
00:48:04And I don't know anything at a deeper level about Georgia, but I know her walk.
00:48:11Georgia and I have come here with our own stories to tell,
00:48:14things that have shaped us from the past.
00:48:15So I'm really excited to discover everything about who she is.
00:48:21Let's get this thing started.
00:48:25That looks like our little hut.
00:48:29Honeymoon 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, which hut do I get to?
00:48:37Which hut is it?
00:48:39Oh, thank God.
00:48:40Oh, my goodness.
00:48:41Look at that.
00:48:42So nice.
00:48:44Beautiful.
00:48:45Oh, there's a fish.
00:48:46I think I'm still in shock that I just got married, so there's that initial shock,
00:48:56but I also think, yeah, it hasn't fully hit me yet that I'm stranded.
00:49:00What have we got over here?
00:49:03Wrath?
00:49:03I just see that, yeah, this little raft.
00:49:06Oh, wow.
00:49:08We'll be doing that as the sun goes down.
00:49:10I think tonight it will hit me and I'll be like, where's my hot shower?
00:49:16Where's my robe?
00:49:16Where's my skincare?
00:49:18And then I'll be like, oh, yeah, there's nothing.
00:49:21I'm stranded on an island.
00:49:23I've even got our initials on the bed.
00:49:26Oh, that's cute.
00:49:29We haven't discussed the sleeping arrangements yet.
00:49:33Yeah, like, it's always awkward, I think, when you first start to, like, sleep next to someone.
00:49:39And 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.
00:49:48Should we go and have an explore and have a look around?
00:49:51Yeah, sounds good.
00:49:53Our first three couples are officially stranded on Honeymoon Island.
00:50:00And as their first day as newlyweds winds down.
00:50:04What's our sleeping arrangements for tonight?
00:50:06I was planning on staying in the bed and pretty much I think you'll be sleeping beside me.
00:50:10I mean, there's not a whole lot of options here.
00:50:13So, yeah, I guess we'll be sharing the badge.
00:50:15Right out. Remember this girl? Wiped up.
00:50:19Yeah.
00:50:20All our couples are contemplating their first night as husband and wife.
00:50:25Any last thoughts about today?
00:50:28I had a good day, did you?
00:50:29Yes, I did.
00:50:30And their first night sleeping in the elements.
00:50:37Oh my God, is somebody fighting me?
00:50:38Yeah.
00:50:39No, it's not me.
00:50:40What was that?
00:50:41Just 24 hours ago they were strangers.
00:50:47Now they're castaways with only each other to rely on for the next 21 days.
00:50:53Oh God, what have I signed up for?
00:51:08As the sun rises over Honeymoon Island.
00:51:14Morning.
00:51:16It's day two of an extreme dating adventure unlike any other.
00:51:20How did you sleep like that?
00:51:22That's how I was asleep.
00:51:24How can you breathe sleeping like that?
00:51:28And already the island is working its magic.
00:51:31At least you know I'm not going to steal a kiss.
00:51:37Georgia and Chad have found their groove.
00:51:39What are we making?
00:51:40So I reckon we could rise and then do like a veggie stir fry.
00:51:44While Amy and Mike are struggling to get on the same page with Island Life.
00:51:49So do you want to cut all that up?
00:51:51Yeah.
00:51:51It's not going to be an easy job, I won't lie.
00:51:54Okay, I think I'm up for it.
00:51:59Just do your best.
00:52:01It's all I can do.
00:52:02It's not an easy job.
00:52:05And as Amy takes on the extremely difficult task of chopping carrots.
00:52:10Morning wifey.
00:52:11Commitment-foe Bree is waking up to a scary new marital status.
00:52:16How'd you sleep?
00:52:19Hard to tell.
00:52:22Yeah, it was pretty hectic.
00:52:24Yeah.
00:52:26I didn't have the best sleep.
00:52:27It was a pretty long night.
00:52:32Yesterday was such a big day.
00:52:35Yeah.
00:52:35We got married.
00:52:41I'm married and even saying that word, it's just, it's insane.
00:52:47I reckon I'll need an afternoon nap.
00:52:49Yeah.
00:52:50Or maybe a morning nap.
00:52:53Marriage is serious commitment.
00:52:55Like serious, the ultimate commitment.
00:52:58And I did it.
00:52:59Happy wife.
00:53:00Happy wife.
00:53:01Yeah.
00:53:02I am glad that I did get matched with Byron.
00:53:08He ticks all my boxes, but like when he says wife and stuff, I'm just like, I want to swim away.
00:53:16This is where I run.
00:53:18And I can't, I am a bit like overwhelmed about it.
00:53:24And like the, like that fear of commitment is definitely like kicking in.
00:53:29And like, when I get scared, I get, I completely shut down.
00:53:33It's happened with a lot of guys.
00:53:36That's why I've made it 28 years without ever having a serious relationship.
00:53:41What do you feel like doing today?
00:53:44Breakfast?
00:53:44Not that hungry at the moment, but you should have, go for goals.
00:53:54Yeah, this morning, I feel like the vibe's really, it was unusual.
00:53:59You standoffish.
00:54:02Wifey?
00:54:03Mm-hmm?
00:54:03I might need your hand.
00:54:05It's really windy there.
00:54:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:54:08I don't know what's happened to Bree.
00:54:09I wonder if it's me or this is really outside her comfort zone, you know, and it's tough to know.
00:54:17You see how it's just burning a bit too quick?
00:54:19No, it looks like a fire.
00:54:22This is dating I've never thought of doing.
00:54:25Um, and now I'm in this situation, I'm thrown in the deep end.
00:54:30I got it.
00:54:31Is this a team?
00:54:33Yeah.
00:54:34To survive this island, we need to work together and be able to communicate.
00:54:39It's hard to know what she's thinking.
00:54:42I kind of want to give this whole experience a chance, and I do want to get to know her for who she is.
00:54:48I'm going to sort out this.
00:54:50All right, let me know when you, if you need me.
00:54:53It's tough to navigate, but I'm here to build something pretty special.
00:54:58And I'm not sure if we are on the same page.
00:55:06Can we do that for you?
00:55:08No, I'm good.
00:55:09Okay.
00:55:10Yesterday was a big day for both of us.
00:55:13Amy was trying to be very assertive very early.
00:55:18It was making it very challenging.
00:55:20If you do it on that wood block there, then you won't get sand when you crack it over.
00:55:24Yeah, okay.
00:55:25I can rinse it off.
00:55:26I'm fine.
00:55:28A lot of women I've dated in the past, they were more like, yeah, I love a man to take charge.
00:55:33So it would be nice if she just appreciated that a little bit.
00:55:36But I can appreciate that women are emotional, so they actually could just be because of nerves,
00:55:43whatever, and I've seen from the get-go that girl's got a sparkle.
00:55:47I could see it then.
00:55:47I'm like, okay, cool.
00:55:48So just trying to bring that out.
00:55:51You know, flirt, joke around, and see if there's a connection there.
00:55:55Amy might be a lot of things, but that girl's still good looking.
00:55:58Yeah, she's a baby.
00:56:00Can I just ask what you're intending and making, or is this going to be a surprise?
00:56:04I was thinking like a mini skirt, so we'll just see how we go.
00:56:08Just remember, less is more.
00:56:12Okay.
00:56:13Give me the rundown.
00:56:15Style it, work it, you're a tiger.
00:56:17I'll cut like a long strip of this, and it will become like a boob tube top.
00:56:24You had me sold at that.
00:56:25Yeah, okay.
00:56:27I thought you'd like that.
00:56:28Sold.
00:56:29This is like my own little fashion show.
00:56:30I'm liking this.
00:56:31Yeah.
00:56:32Do I get a dance too?
00:56:33No.
00:56:35Sorting my dress out was super awkward.
00:56:41Tits out.
00:56:42Will I get in trouble if I sneak peek?
00:56:44I'm not giving any of the flirty banter back, because I just don't feel it.
00:56:51Yeah.
00:56:52This actually is so much better than the towel.
00:56:54I'm so happy.
00:56:55You're leaving me hanging.
00:56:56This is our first dance.
00:57:02No, no, no.
00:57:03Come on, first dance.
00:57:05No, absolutely not.
00:57:06Ah, you're a cracker.
00:57:07I just want to be me, I want to laugh, I want to take the purse, I want to have fun.
00:57:11It's the second day on Honeymoon Island, and after a fairytale start at the wedding, Brie and Byron are facing their first challenge as a married couple.
00:57:32Have we got there? I thought we were going to get wet.
00:57:35Do you reckon?
00:57:37We could have a massive storm.
00:57:39The island has triggered Brie's commitment issues, and she's withdrawn from Byron, who's got no idea why.
00:57:49This morning, I feel like there's a little bit of tension between Brie and I.
00:57:55That looks...
00:57:57Not bad.
00:57:58I would never eat this if I wasn't here.
00:58:02She's been standoffish, and I don't know why.
00:58:05You know, I'm still getting to know Brie, so, you know, I'm trying to create a relationship there as well,
00:58:12and anything that bugs you or is on your mind, I think, you know, you've got to communicate those things.
00:58:18I could sleep forever.
00:58:21That's how tired I am.
00:58:22Really?
00:58:23Yeah.
00:58:24Although I did have two small naps.
00:58:26You did have a couple of naps.
00:58:28You had a nap at the most opportune moment, right next to the fire.
00:58:32And you do all the hard work?
00:58:34I needed a hand.
00:58:35I was like, uh, you were tired.
00:58:37Was that an issue for you?
00:58:37I don't know.
00:58:38I just felt like I felt a bit...
00:58:42solo.
00:58:43I needed your help, and I was frustrated.
00:58:47Okay.
00:58:49Yeah, I don't know.
00:58:50It's just, you just tap out, like, at random times.
00:58:53Yeah.
00:58:53And, like, maybe the time where I, like, need you the most.
00:58:56Oh, no, I'm sorry.
00:58:59And I, yeah.
00:59:02Like, I don't, like, I don't want to be useless around and around.
00:59:04No, no, no.
00:59:05At all.
00:59:07I think I'm just overwhelmed still, because this is wild and crazy.
00:59:10Yeah.
00:59:11I met you yesterday, and that kind of is a lot for me.
00:59:16What about just me?
00:59:19What do you mean?
00:59:19Like, how are you feeling and where you're at?
00:59:23Oh, vulnerability.
00:59:25Yeah.
00:59:28I want to talk about it, but I, like, don't know, like...
00:59:32It's not something I'm comfortable with.
00:59:33It's hard to ask about feelings.
00:59:35It's hard to talk to you about feelings, yeah.
00:59:36Yeah.
00:59:40I knew that I had relationship issues.
00:59:42I think I didn't realise how much I had relationship issues.
00:59:46I feel like putting me on this island, a lot of things are coming up.
00:59:50Especially about commitment and vulnerability.
00:59:54And I really didn't think it'd be this hard.
01:00:00Something I need to work on.
01:00:03It's kind of overwhelming me.
01:00:06Yeah.
01:00:08Yeah.
01:00:13Yeah.
01:00:15I feel like this experience and experiment is very much about,
01:00:19like, feelings and talking about feelings and being vulnerable.
01:00:23And that's definitely not something that I am.
01:00:27Oh, should I go grab this stuff around the fire?
01:00:31Yeah.
01:00:32Bring it in.
01:00:34I really just don't want to hit all up by being an idiot.
01:00:38Because that's how I feel like I'm being.
01:00:39I'm like, why am I so upset?
01:00:40I'm with, like, the perfect guy.
01:00:41I think Bree's working really hard on trying to open up, trying to be vulnerable.
01:00:49But I think she's still a bit bamboozled with the whole set up.
01:00:55But I feel like opening up and being vulnerable, that's where the most genuine connections are formed.
01:01:03So I'm hoping it can develop.
01:01:06But, yeah, we'll see.
01:01:10This experience is going to demand a lot from our couples.
01:01:13And if they can't move on from the bad habits of the past and face their own red flags,
01:01:21it could spell the end before it even begins.
01:01:27They've been alone on the island for 24 hours.
01:01:32And they don't know it yet, but the next stage of this experience is here.
01:01:37Hold on, babe, what's that?
01:01:41In the water.
01:01:42Ooh, we've got a tub out there.
01:01:47Oh, my God.
01:02:02Hold on, babe, what's that?
01:02:04In the water.
01:02:07Ooh, we've got a tub out there.
01:02:12Oh, my God.
01:02:14How are we going to get it?
01:02:16Honeymoon Island isn't just paradise.
01:02:19It's an experience built to bring couples together and create long-lasting relationships.
01:02:25Oh, my God.
01:02:25Let's go.
01:02:26Let's go grab it.
01:02:28By drowning out the white noise of modern life.
01:02:32I'll grab the paddles.
01:02:34And forcing them to work together.
01:02:37And these mysterious orange crates are here to help.
01:02:49All right, here we go.
01:02:50Ooh, I'm excited.
01:02:52They will arrive throughout our couple's time on the island.
01:02:57Each one containing surprises, tests and relationship challenges to help them accelerate their bond
01:03:05and navigate their way to love.
01:03:07Ready, set, go.
01:03:10Oh, my God.
01:03:11Oh, shit.
01:03:15The very first crate brings word from home.
01:03:20You got something to say to Chad?
01:03:22I miss you, Chad.
01:03:24Oh.
01:03:25All the best.
01:03:28All the best.
01:03:28And love you, Georgia.
01:03:29Love you lots, George.
01:03:31While some contain messages of support.
01:03:34I measure success by how many people love me.
01:03:38And the best way to be loved is to be loved.
01:03:41Oren, you've been loved from the day you entered this world.
01:03:44He's a wordsmith, isn't he?
01:03:46What a cutie.
01:03:47Yeah.
01:03:48Others contain words of wisdom sent with love to help our newlyweds avoid the mistakes they've made in the past.
01:03:56I think the most rewarding experience you can have in life is conquering your fears.
01:04:11I think one of the things that totally held you back is a fear of failure, a fear of commitment,
01:04:15a fear of loneliness.
01:04:17And I can't think of a more radical way to conquer these fears than marrying a stranger on an island
01:04:24in a country you've never been to, away from everyone and everything you know.
01:04:28So, wow, like, just take the experience head on.
01:04:33Be vulnerable and just don't be annoying.
01:04:40We love and miss you heaps.
01:04:42I look forward to seeing you soon.
01:04:44I love you.
01:04:48Goodbye.
01:04:50Over again.
01:04:51Feel better?
01:04:51Yeah, and, like, just, um, like, it was just so comforting and everything he said was,
01:04:56like, what I've been feeling and he knows me so well and that's...
01:05:00You feel like it's a bit of a weight off?
01:05:02Yeah.
01:05:04I didn't realise how much I needed that.
01:05:07Everything he said in that video was everything that I've been struggling with.
01:05:11How good is that?
01:05:12Yeah.
01:05:12It just shows how I do need to open up and give this a chance.
01:05:19Oh, hopefully I can do that.
01:05:20Yeah, of course.
01:05:22I'm sure you will.
01:05:22I will.
01:05:23I think it might take me time, but it's day two and I've got a lot more days to go.
01:05:29So if that's how slow it is, that's how slow it is.
01:05:31And, but it's, it's not, it's, it's like, literally like, I think it's going to be like this.
01:05:35I'm all the way up there.
01:05:44Ladies first?
01:05:46Sure.
01:05:48Oh, okay.
01:05:51I'm Phil, father of Amy.
01:05:54The bride, she's marrying some unknown.
01:05:57Whoever he is, let's call him what's his name.
01:06:02He's getting a pretty good catch.
01:06:06Ames, you've been a lovely daughter.
01:06:08We've had 30 years of great times with you.
01:06:12We love your humor.
01:06:13We love your honesty, your sense of adventure, your loyalty.
01:06:18Finding love so far has been challenging for you, Ames.
01:06:23Maybe this is just a great way to find a partner.
01:06:28Here's to hoping you and what's his name?
01:06:31Work it out.
01:06:33Work it out.
01:06:34And to the groom, we trust that you'll treat Amy well.
01:06:39You'll be gentle and kind.
01:06:41And we hope that you grow to love her as much as what we do.
01:06:47Cheers.
01:06:48Oh, cheers, Dad.
01:06:50That was awesome.
01:06:51Oh, my God.
01:06:52I love him so much.
01:06:53Yep.
01:06:54So much.
01:06:55That was good.
01:06:56Yeah.
01:06:57Oh, my God.
01:06:58Seeing my dad was so good.
01:07:00I love my dad so much.
01:07:02And it made me emotional because my parents just want the best for me.
01:07:09And they want to see me happy.
01:07:11I just feel like I really wanted this to work out and they wanted it to work out.
01:07:18Amy's message was a reminder of why she came to Honeymoon Island.
01:07:22And Mike is about to be confronted with some home truths from someone who knows his relationship history very well.
01:07:31Your turn.
01:07:32I know.
01:07:32I'm excited.
01:07:34I'm ready.
01:07:34I'm ready to go.
01:07:35I can't wait to see it.
01:07:36It's like a little surprise when you have had nothing for those.
01:07:40Here we go.
01:07:41Hello.
01:07:43Oh, my God.
01:07:44I wanted to send you a message before you embark on this experience.
01:07:49That's my ex.
01:07:51And just try and give you, I guess, a bit of feedback about how our relationship went.
01:07:59Oh, that's not going to work out well for me.
01:08:02You know, you're definitely capable of being a really great partner to someone.
01:08:07But the biggest message from me is to be really respectful.
01:08:12Things happened in our relationship where you made me feel small.
01:08:18Don't nitpick.
01:08:20Don't overanalyse things and be an equal.
01:08:27Oh, my God.
01:08:28She's fabulous.
01:08:31I find it interesting that she said you made her feel small.
01:08:34Um, because, yeah, I think that's, you know, how I felt on day one.
01:08:41So I can totally relate to that.
01:08:43Yeah.
01:08:44Hearing your ex, it kind of empowered me because I honestly feel like she has just said exactly how I've been feeling.
01:08:52I think that I'm bang on about who I thought he was on day one.
01:08:55And this is a pattern of behavior.
01:08:58So, yeah, ex, if you're listening, love you, you're a legend.
01:09:03I don't see where the big problem was at, though.
01:09:06Like, how exactly did that make you?
01:09:07There's been a lot of things that you've done that have made me uncomfortable.
01:09:12Belittled the alpha male, the dominance, the controlling, your tone wasn't good.
01:09:19Spoken down to, like, I'm incapable of doing these things.
01:09:24I've felt, like, an underlying misogyny from you.
01:09:27And what was?
01:09:28Um, when we're cutting the wedding dress.
01:09:30Um, less is more, like, I'm not a piece of meat.
01:09:34I've never heard that from anyone before.
01:09:36Well, you're hearing it from me now.
01:09:40And I'm going to tell you to your face because I don't think you're getting it.
01:09:45I think there's a clear vibe that, like, I'm not feeling it.
01:09:50I'm not romantically feeling it.
01:09:53I don't even think we're there as friends yet.
01:09:57Okay.
01:10:00Okay.
01:10:04That was harsh.
01:10:06No one's ever said that to me before.
01:10:09The whole time I'm just trying to be nice and just do, like, what men should do in this situation.
01:10:16But it is what it is, so moving on.
01:10:19Um, yeah.
01:10:23Like, just understand, I'm just joking around having banter.
01:10:26I think if you watch them back, like, it's not going to look good.
01:10:31I know who you are.
01:10:36All right.
01:10:38Um, I'll pop this on the nightstand.
01:10:41I see you right there.
01:10:43I have seen red flags from the very start and I think that he's going to be angry that I've seen
01:10:51through it and that I've called him on it.
01:10:53Yeah.
01:10:55I just wanted it to be Honeymoon Island and I think it might be Nightmare Island.
01:11:02Wow.
01:11:04Pull me a misogynist.
01:11:05Unbelievable.
01:11:06Still to come, six new singles leave the world behind.
01:11:17I've been single for seven years.
01:11:18This is the last resort.
01:11:20To say I do.
01:11:22I'm overjoyed to pronounce you husband and wife.
01:11:26I'm married.
01:11:27And take an epic leap into the unknown.
01:11:32I feel like this is a massive leap of faith.
01:11:35This really gives me the opportunity to dig deep with someone.
01:11:38Three more newlywed couples will land on their very own desert islands to see if love can bloom in paradise.
01:11:48Everything's been really, really amazing.
01:11:50We have lots of cuddling and lots of love.
01:11:52Or will it be swept away in a riptide of red flags?
01:11:59Misogyny is a big word to use.
01:12:02I've been betrayed.
01:12:02I've been lied to and it's just happened all over again.
01:12:06This for me is a total deal breaker.
01:12:09This is a deal breaker.
01:12:10Weekly crates will guide their relationship journey.
01:12:14Three, two, one.
01:12:17Game changer.
01:12:19Couples Cove.
01:12:20And Couples Cove will be their only contact with the outside world.
01:12:25Okay, I need to know.
01:12:27Has anyone banged?
01:12:28But is Couples Cove a safe harbour?
01:12:31Gentlemen never tell.
01:12:33Or stormy seas?
01:12:35All right, I'm not going to be polite.
01:12:36Let's go.
01:12:37I have been betrayed before.
01:12:38I've been lied to.
01:12:39And you've just done it all again.
01:12:41Do you want to bring it out right now?
01:12:43Are you deaf, mate?
01:12:44Like, seriously?
01:12:45That's disgusting.
01:12:46This is just so crazy.
01:12:48Oh, my God.
01:12:49So I do have a question for you.
01:12:51And, um, why do you have a relationship on the outside of this?
01:12:56What?
01:12:57He seems like such a nice guy and now I just want to tip my red wine all over him.
01:13:01Go check on your wife.
01:13:02I hate him.
01:13:04Like, this is bullshit.
01:13:05I'm actually here to genuinely find love, and you're here to fuck with my time.
01:13:18I'm actually here to genuinely find love, and you're here to fuck with my time.
01:13:34I hate him.
01:13:36Like, this is bullshit.
01:13:36Like, this is bullshit.
01:13:38I'm actually here to genuinely find love, and you're here to fuck with my time.
01:13:50I'm now here to start by collecting worth more Amen.
01:13:52No future news of this.
01:13:53I will be here to jump on around.
01:13:54This will end, with a month for all and now.
01:13:55It will be in the midwast.
01:13:57But before you turn out, let me know how to be a live series of 6 to 880 people.
01:13:59Bye-bye.
01:14:01I love you.
01:14:02Come on.
01:14:03Bye-bye.
01:14:04Yeah.
01:14:04I love you.
01:14:06Bye-bye.
01:14:07No future news of this.
01:14:09I love you.
01:14:09나�тиров consider yourself just like a bombona,
01:14:10this is some news and footballs and nature.
01:14:12My feet are not really well.
01:14:14Right-oh, never expectations.
01:14:15I love you, but I love you.
