00:00:00began. This is probably the wildest, craziest thing I've ever done. And six Aussie singles

00:00:06put their faith in our matchmakers and married a stranger. I pronounced you husband and wife.

00:00:14I was kind of breathless for a little hot moment there, hey. Before leaving the world behind

00:00:18for 21 days. What we're doing is completely scary, but as soon as I turned around and

00:00:25saw her, I knew everything was going to be all right. To see if love can bloom in paradise.

00:00:32Oh my goodness, look at that! Or if their bad dating baggage will drag them out to sea.

00:00:39I'm starting to feel quite overwhelmed. I want to swim away. Three new relationships set sail,

00:00:45but Amy and Mike hit the rocks. I feel like there's a bit of a power struggle going on.

00:00:50No, I'm good. You know, I'm the man. Just chill out. I got this. I just wanted it to be Honeymoon

00:00:55Island, and I think it might be Nightmare Island. And a surprise crate delivered drama.

00:01:04Hello. There's my ex. I guess a bit of feedback. You know, you made me feel quite small.

00:01:14Coming up now, six new singles fed up with the toxic world of modern dating.

00:01:21I've been single for seven years. This is the last resort. Join the adventure. I'm ready to give this my

00:01:28entire all. I feel like this is a massive leap of faith. And get stranded on Honeymoon Island.

00:01:34I think it's inevitable that it's going to be a wild ride. For better. This could be something special

00:01:38here. Or for worse. This was the real world. I usually cut things off. Maybe even ghosts.

00:01:44Thousands of miles from home. Three newlywed couples are stranded on Honeymoon Island.

00:02:04And they'll have 21 days to see if a long-lasting relationship can form without any distractions

00:02:13from the modern dating world.

00:02:16The cocoa roll.

00:02:19Do you want it harder?

00:02:20That's another one.

00:02:21That's another one.

00:02:22Bring me your higher love.

00:02:27Shut your eyes.

00:02:31So good.

00:02:32For flight attendant Georgia and Bachelor Chad, the wedding day was a fairy tale come true.

00:02:44I have been engaged before and I've got my heart broken.

00:02:49But I still do believe that there are good men out there.

00:02:54Hello.

00:02:56How are you?

00:02:58Good. How are you?

00:02:59Good, good. You look beautiful.

00:03:02Amazing.

00:03:02Happy?

00:03:08Yes.

00:03:08Good, good.

00:03:10And on their second day of married life, these two lovebirds are in no rush to take their relationship

00:03:16to the next level.

00:03:20You're going to put some sunscreen on me now?

00:03:22Yep.

00:03:23No, we haven't had a little kiss yet.

00:03:25Yes.

00:03:25We're both just happy to, like, take it slow, even though we are married.

00:03:32I feel that we have an amazing foundation where we are building chemistry and connection from.

00:03:43So I'm happy to wait for a kiss.

00:03:45You ever own waterfront property?

00:03:57No.

00:03:58Yes.

00:03:59You have now.

00:03:59This is our first property together.

00:04:01We're homeowners.

00:04:02We are.

00:04:04For commitment for Bree, getting married and stranded

00:04:08with laid-back Sparky Byron was a huge adjustment.

00:04:12Remember, this is a common saying.

00:04:14If you're looking, it ain't cooking.

00:04:17Wow, look where we are.

00:04:19I know.

00:04:20I'm starting to feel quite overwhelmed.

00:04:23I've never really been in a serious relationship before,

00:04:25so it's been a huge step,

00:04:26and that fear of commitment is definitely, like, kicking in.

00:04:31Wifey?

00:04:32Mm-hmm?

00:04:33I might need your hand.

00:04:34Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:04:35I don't know what's happened to Bree.

00:04:37I wonder if it's me.

00:04:39I think I'm just overwhelmed still,

00:04:41because this is wild and crazy,

00:04:43and I met you yesterday,

00:04:45and that kind of is a lot for me.

00:04:47I really just don't want to it all up by being an idiot.

00:04:52I'm with, like, the perfect guy.

00:04:53But as their second day stranded together comes to an end,

00:05:00Bree is starting to realise

00:05:01that this experience is exactly what she needs.

00:05:05Nailed it.

00:05:06Fish is on.

00:05:07Shut up.

00:05:08Potatoes.

00:05:09Should we wash that?

00:05:10I'm going to give it a quick wash,

00:05:11and I'll wash this.

00:05:12I was going to go.

00:05:12Yeah, nice.

00:05:13OK.

00:05:14Byron is such a nice guy.

00:05:16He's very sweet, very considerate,

00:05:19always asking if I'm OK.

00:05:20He's jumping it, helping me,

00:05:22and trying to make me as comfortable as possible.

00:05:26What are we going to do for breakfast?

00:05:28Um, I can make pancakes if you want.

00:05:32With potatoes?

00:05:35Coconut pancakes?

00:05:36Yeah.

00:05:37I'll figure it out.

00:05:39Like, I'm not used to nice guys

00:05:41and being treated nicely.

00:05:44The guys in my past don't do that,

00:05:47and there's always been a lack of commitment

00:05:49from both parties.

00:05:52Oh, my God.

00:05:53Get out.

00:05:54Get out.

00:05:55That looks amazing.

00:05:56Doesn't that look good?

00:05:57I'm impressed.

00:05:59Byron is definitely a catch.

00:06:01Yeah, this is probably, like,

00:06:02the best thing that could have happened to me,

00:06:03and these are happy tears.

00:06:06I'm really excited about the time we're going to have.

00:06:13Definitely, I feel like

00:06:15I'm, like, the luckiest girl ever right now.

00:06:19I got lucky.

00:06:20I got lucky.

00:06:22I got lucky.

00:06:22For Amy and Mike,

00:06:3348 hours stranded together

00:06:35has quickly become the clash of the titans.

00:06:41And earlier today,

00:06:43a message from home brought things to a head.

00:06:46There's been a lot of things that you've done

00:06:52that have made me uncomfortable.

00:06:56Belittled the alpha male, the dominance.

00:06:59I've felt, like, an underlying misogyny from you.

00:07:03And what was it?

00:07:05When we're cutting the wedding dress.

00:07:07Less is more, like, I'm not a piece of meat.

00:07:10I've never heard that from anyone before.

00:07:13Well, you're hearing it from me now.

00:07:15Yeah.

00:07:15All right.

00:07:16I've never been called a misogynist in my life.

00:07:22It was a first.

00:07:25I'm all good to take accountability for stuff I've done.

00:07:28If it's made her feel bad, no problem.

00:07:31But I'm not a bad dude.

00:07:33I'm just trying to be chivalrous.

00:07:35Try and look after your guilt.

00:07:37That's what a man should do.

00:07:39I guess I have a big personality,

00:07:41a big sense of humour,

00:07:41and I don't mean anything from a bad place.

00:07:45He's got a big personality, too,

00:07:47and I think it's just trying to navigate that at the moment,

00:07:49which is very, very difficult.

00:07:51I know we're going to need to talk about a lot of stuff that happened today.

00:07:55Yeah.

00:07:56Some of that shit hurt my feelings,

00:07:58and I felt real attacked.

00:08:00Misogyny is a big f***ing word to use.

00:08:04Okay.

00:08:05Well, I mean, that's what I've seen,

00:08:08and that's my truth,

00:08:09and that's what...

00:08:11Yeah, I mean...

00:08:11That's the feeling I've been getting.

00:08:13That's the vibe,

00:08:13and so I'm just letting you know that that's how I feel.

00:08:16Some of the points you said were just.

00:08:18They could have been dealt with in a different way,

00:08:20but it really upset me.

00:08:23Basically calling me a woman hater.

00:08:26I'm like, whoa.

00:08:28No, that's...

00:08:29Oh.

00:08:30That one hurt the most.

00:08:32Look, I am sorry to bombard you.

00:08:34I get that that was a lot.

00:08:38I don't think I have to tap out for today.

00:08:40No, it's been a big day.

00:08:43Can I get you anything to eat?

00:08:45No, I'm good.

00:08:45Can I do anything to help you?

00:08:47No, I'm fine.

00:08:47I'm going to get some water and just...

00:08:50Yeah.

00:08:50Get back to zen.

00:08:52Yeah.

00:08:54All right.

00:09:00Look, today's been a pretty hard day.

00:09:03I don't want this.

00:09:04Shit.

00:09:05We're here in, buddy...

00:09:07You know, we're here on an island...

00:09:09...to find love.

00:09:10And now I don't know.

00:09:12Where I'm at.

00:09:14The best thing we can do is just cool off

00:09:16and have some space.

00:09:23Now, it's time for three brand-new couples

00:09:26to make the ultimate leap of faith.

00:09:30So, let's go back to where it all began.

00:09:34A speed dating event with a twist.

00:09:37Let's get the show on the road.

00:09:43Our six new castaways each took part

00:09:46in a two-minute speed date observed by matchmakers.

00:09:50Do you put your fries on the cheeseburger

00:09:52or you just go straight for the cheeseburger?

00:09:54No names or jobs were shared...

00:09:56...and they were matched on their chemistry, compatibility

00:10:00and their ability to grow together.

00:10:03And one of our new brides can't wait to get to the island and heat things up.

00:10:14Number seven.

00:10:15Oh, nice to meet you.

00:10:15Can I first wear your jacket for two minutes?

00:10:17Yeah, absolutely.

00:10:18Ask me a question while you do that.

00:10:19I'm freezing.

00:10:20All right.

00:10:21The question will be...

00:10:22Yep, tell me.

00:10:25I don't know.

00:10:25What are you into?

00:10:26What do you do for fun?

00:10:27Ask me a question while you're undressing.

00:10:30Absolutely.

00:10:31How cold are you on a scale of one to ten?

00:10:34I hate the cold.

00:10:35I'm a summer girl.

00:10:36Turn around.

00:10:37At the moment, my dating world is cobwebs.

00:10:42I can't say that.

00:10:45It's pretty dusty.

00:10:52I'm Jess.

00:10:53I'm 38 and I'm a writer and dating and relationship coach.

00:10:57If you are somebody that tends to worry about having sex

00:11:00with somebody too soon when you start dating,

00:11:04then this tip is for you.

00:11:07Nighttime activities lead to nighttime activities.

00:11:10It's as simple as that.

00:11:12If you don't want to have sex, go to brunch.

00:11:20The irony is I'm a dating and relationship coach,

00:11:23but I haven't been in a relationship for many years.

00:11:27Sometimes I forget to follow my own advice.

00:11:30I chase chemistry.

00:11:34Chemistry feels amazing.

00:11:36And it's exciting.

00:11:38There's a thrill that comes from chasing chemistry,

00:11:42like fireworks.

00:11:45But it doesn't always pan out well.

00:11:49It does fade.

00:11:51Men lose interest, then back away.

00:11:55And it's devastating for me.

00:11:57I'm 38 and I've been putting my heart on the line.

00:12:05So I'm starting to think, when is it going to be my turn?

00:12:08I was born in Austria, so I was raised overseas.

00:12:15Austria?

00:12:15Yeah.

00:12:16So I speak fluent German.

00:12:17And I've travelled a lot all over the world.

00:12:18I love German.

00:12:20Well, I'll hopefully be able to teach you a little more than this.

00:12:22I like that.

00:12:23I like that very much.

00:12:25On the island, we'll have no choice but to keep persisting on the relationship beyond chemistry.

00:12:32You're gorgeous.

00:12:34How are you?

00:12:34Nice to meet you at 13.

00:12:36Nice to meet you at 9.

00:12:37Good day.

00:12:37My days are good.

00:12:39Are you an extrovert or introvert?

00:12:41I'm just going to guess.

00:12:42We're confident and caring.

00:12:43How are you caring?

00:12:44Tell me.

00:12:45Give me an example.

00:12:45Active listening.

00:12:47Empathetic.

00:12:48Like, I want to be your best friend and your lover.

00:12:51Okay.

00:12:51We've got 14.

00:12:54Big yes.

00:12:55So, yeah, huge **** yes.

00:12:57He speaks German, and he's my physical type.

00:13:02Nine is a bit naughty.

00:13:04He's gorgeous.

00:13:05A lot of confidence.

00:13:06A lot of charm.

00:13:07He said some of the right things.

00:13:09So, I'm going to say ding, dong, dang.

00:13:11You found me five husbands.

00:13:16You check me in, huh?

00:13:17A little smile.

00:13:18Of course.

00:13:19Beautiful.

00:13:20I've got some cheek.

00:13:22I reckon I've got some good chat, and I reckon I make people feel very comfortable.

00:13:25Can I give you a handshake and a kiss?

00:13:26A week, yeah.

00:13:27Lovely.

00:13:28You look really nice, by the way.

00:13:30Who are you?

00:13:30Why didn't I start with you?

00:13:31Hold on.

00:13:32If all else fails, hopefully I've got a half-decent body.

00:13:38Hey!

00:13:38Woo!

00:13:39God damn.

00:13:39I know you love to make an entrance.

00:13:41Do you like getting paid or getting paid attention?

00:13:44You mix the wrong guys with the right intentions.

00:13:46You mix with me.

00:13:48And again.

00:13:49Oh!

00:13:50Good.

00:13:51Jump.

00:13:51I had some real heartbreak at the start of this year.

00:13:55Two pretty traumatic events in almost the space of four to eight weeks.

00:14:00My last relationship ended, and it was devastating.

00:14:03We both had very different lifestyles.

00:14:05You know, I probably went out partying a little too much.

00:14:08That ended very close to around the time that my dad passed away.

00:14:15The thought of, like, losing another person in my life was very overwhelming.

00:14:21My mum was caring for my dad up until the day he passed away.

00:14:24They were married over 25 years, and till his last breath, my mum was with my dad.

00:14:38Imagine finding someone.

00:14:40I can't hold your hands right up until the moment you take your last breath.

00:14:45I'm dying.

00:14:46What else do you want?

00:14:56Today's the day that Sam will find out if the matchmakers have chosen someone he can create a meaningful bond with

00:15:03that will hopefully last a lifetime.

00:15:05I think the person that's about to meet me is going to fully meet the best version of myself.

00:15:15For a bit over three months now, I've been on a detox.

00:15:18No alcohol, no partying, no sex.

00:15:22I want to be as clear a mind as possible to meet the right person for me.

00:15:30Being stranded on Honeymoon Island, this really gives me the opportunity to dig deep.

00:15:35With someone, no external factors, no technology, no social media, no friends, no opinions.

00:15:41Just me and one other person.

00:15:55Hi.

00:15:57You look beautiful.

00:15:59You look gorgeous too.

00:16:03Welcome to our wedding.

00:16:07Hi, babe.

00:16:08Hi.

00:16:08Nice to see you.

00:16:09Nice to see you too.

00:16:11You all right?

00:16:12I'll give you a hug.

00:16:16You okay?

00:16:17Yeah.

00:16:17We got this together.

00:16:18Okay.

00:16:18All right?

00:16:18I remembered him straight away.

00:16:22There was chemistry.

00:16:23I did feel it.

00:16:24Feel calm?

00:16:25Yeah, I feel super comfortable with you.

00:16:28All the nerves.

00:16:29I feel much calmer now after I've met him.

00:16:34And it was super comfortable straight away.

00:16:35So it's all tick, tick, tick.

00:16:37You look amazing.

00:16:41I'm really excited.

00:16:43I'm Sam.

00:16:44Jess.

00:16:45Nice to meet you, Sam.

00:16:46Lovely to meet you, Jess.

00:16:49Feel better now seeing you.

00:16:50I was definitely nervous, but she made me feel super calm.

00:16:56Yeah, I'm very much attracted to her.

00:16:58She's a beautiful lady.

00:16:59Yeah, let's get married.

00:17:04Hi.

00:17:04Hello.

00:17:05Ready to get married?

00:17:07Let's do it.

00:17:07I certainly am.

00:17:09Yeah.

00:17:12Jess and Sam, I invite you both to share vows with one another with an open heart and an open mind.

00:17:21Jess, I have yours.

00:17:22I have mine.

00:17:23Okay.

00:17:24Give it to me.

00:17:24Don't make me cry.

00:17:25Okay.

00:17:29It's quite comfortable for me to be single because my past relationships, whilst loving, have not worked in my favour.

00:17:35I've completely surrendered to the chemistry and I've experienced heartbreak.

00:17:42But I still believe in love and that hope remains firmly intact.

00:17:49To me, a successful relationship and a marriage is fundamentally reliant on great communication and compatibility.

00:17:56I'm committed to understanding you, opening my heart to the possibility of love, and to embracing this experience with you, regardless of the many unknowns that lie before us.

00:18:09Jess, thank you.

00:18:10That was beautiful.

00:18:11You hear that was written from the heart.

00:18:13Thanks.

00:18:13Definitely.

00:18:14You don't say.

00:18:15Not chat GPT.

00:18:17No!

00:18:18It didn't just make it up.

00:18:20Well done.

00:18:20Thanks, Jess.

00:18:21All right.

00:18:25Jess.

00:18:27My parents taught me so much, not just about love, but also how to make a relationship work.

00:18:32They taught me to communicate, always.

00:18:35For a bit over the last three and a half months, my focus has been my fitness, my mental health, and the relationships I have with the people close to me.

00:18:43Through this period, I haven't had any alcohol or intimate relationships.

00:18:47I work out up to twice a day.

00:18:48I meditate, I journal, and I build healthy relationships with those around me.

00:18:55You can take my hand on this journey and trust that you are with someone who has clarity.

00:19:00I will be the person not only that you want, but the person that you need.

00:19:05I promise to be the best version of myself for you, to be your support, your partner, and your island entertainer.

00:19:12Amazing.

00:19:14I love those.

00:19:16I'm glad.

00:19:18There certainly is a little bit of chemistry, especially now that I can see that he has a lot of depth, which I definitely need.

00:19:33So we've been well matched.

00:19:35I do.

00:19:36Thank goodness.

00:19:37Absolutely.

00:19:37Because I'm actually looking forward to spending three weeks on a deserted island with Sam.

00:19:42I do.

00:19:44Yes, I'm ready to give it a go.

00:19:45Let's go.

00:19:47I'm overjoyed to pronounce you husband and wife.

00:19:51Yay!

00:19:51You may seal the deal with a kiss.

00:19:53I'll be up.

00:19:53Jess and Sam are now on their way to Honeymoon Island.

00:20:13There's obvious chemistry, but will it last for 21 days?

00:20:22Is that it?

00:20:23Oh, my God.

00:20:27What happens when you're stranded on a deserted island with no phones, no luxuries, and completely

00:20:33cut off from the outside world?

00:20:35Will a deeper connection form?

00:20:40Or will that chemistry burn out?

00:20:43Let's go, baby.

00:20:45Oh, my God.

00:20:51This is the wildest thing I've ever done in my life.

00:20:53But it's an experience that is once in a lifetime.

00:21:00Finding chemistry is easy, but falling in love is hard.

00:21:06I want a deeper connection.

00:21:07I want to find love, and I'm ready to go.

00:21:10I want a deeper connection.

00:21:40Jess and Sam are now stranded on Honeymoon Island, and this remote beach will be their

00:21:49home for the next 21 days.

00:21:51What is this?

00:21:52Oh, my God.

00:21:53Are we okay?

00:21:55Oh.

00:21:57Where they'll discover if living in total isolation with only each other for company will strengthen

00:22:04their initial bond.

00:22:06How wet did most?

00:22:08Oh, my God.

00:22:09There's a shower.

00:22:10There's a shower.

00:22:10This is gorgeous.

00:22:12How about the view?

00:22:14I know.

00:22:15Not bad, hey?

00:22:19We have our own private beach right on our doorstep.

00:22:23Maybe 25 steps into crystal clear water.

00:22:28Welcome home.

00:22:28What should we call it?

00:22:30What should we call it?

00:22:30Oh.

00:22:30Al fresco paradise, eh?

00:22:32Oh, yeah.

00:22:33I'm most looking forward to spending the time with Sam in, like, a bit of a romantic, cute

00:22:38setting.

00:22:38I'm happy with Sam.

00:22:39Like, I'm happy that we'll match together.

00:22:43Cheers, too.

00:22:45Woo!

00:22:46That's perfect.

00:22:48I feel like there's a bit of chemistry.

00:22:50There's a bit of a spark.

00:22:52Congratulations.

00:22:54Let's make this work.

00:22:55It's nice to meet you.

00:22:57Lovely to meet you, too.

00:22:58She's a beautiful woman, and I'm really lucky.

00:23:01Like, this could be something special here.

00:23:05I think we're going to need to come up with a bit of a game plan.

00:23:07Yeah.

00:23:08I need to rinse these clothes.

00:23:09If we're going to have to make them work and last, you want this shirt, don't you?

00:23:14Yeah.

00:23:14All right, let's go rinse everything off.

00:23:16Let's just take a bit of a lead on this.

00:23:19Being here with just the clothes on my back and nothing else is a little bit nuts.

00:23:27Yeah, perfect.

00:23:28But I'm feeling pretty confident and comfortable with Sam.

00:23:33He seems quite caring and considerate and thoughtful.

00:23:38So you've got something to wear.

00:23:39And when Sam rinsed his shirt off, popped me in the shower, made sure I was comfortable

00:23:46and checked to see if I needed anything else, it was really lovely.

00:23:51All right, I'm going to give you some privacy.

00:23:53I haven't had many men in my life that have really done that for me

00:23:57and have really been so gentle with me.

00:24:00Hi.

00:24:01Honey, I'm home.

00:24:02Hello.

00:24:04And I think it's those little things in relationships

00:24:07and when you're building connections that are the most special and the most important.

00:24:13And they show you a lot about a person's character.

00:24:16Okay.

00:24:18Yeah, cool.

00:24:19All right.

00:24:19Yeah, I'm good.

00:24:20It's a really nice start.

00:24:21It makes me feel reassured.

00:24:23Back in civilisation, another bride is preparing to leave behind the comforts and distractions of home

00:24:42to marry a stranger and get herself stranded in the name of love.

00:24:53Okay, what is everyone getting?

00:24:56Cocktails.

00:24:56We're doing cocktails.

00:24:57I'm Emily.

00:24:58I'm 28 and I'm from Melbourne.

00:25:03I grew up down the surf coast, but yeah, I'm a city girl through and through now.

00:25:08See you at the bottom.

00:25:11People take one look at me and they're like, she's confident.

00:25:13She's out there.

00:25:14But deep down, not the case at all.

00:25:20I am not as confident as I come across.

00:25:26I've been single for seven years.

00:25:28I have tried the apps.

00:25:30I have tried being set up by friends.

00:25:32I got set up by my parents at one stage.

00:25:34I have tried speed dating.

00:25:37Nothing has worked for me.

00:25:38I'm constantly finding with these guys is their initial attraction is there.

00:25:46And then over time, it just, it fizzles.

00:25:49And I'm constantly getting ghosted.

00:25:54You look at the common denominator and it's me.

00:25:59I just question, is there something I'm doing wrong?

00:26:03Do I not look the right way?

00:26:05So I try and change how I look.

00:26:08I haven't always been blonde.

00:26:09I was brunette at one stage.

00:26:11So I kind of think, you know, maybe if I do go blonde, it'll help.

00:26:16I think I'll part my hair differently, see if that helps.

00:26:19I'll lose weight.

00:26:20I'll wear different clothes.

00:26:23No matter what I try and do, I always end up single and alone.

00:26:34Yeah.

00:26:38When I get ghosted, it's a really, it's a horrible feeling.

00:26:47So I'm so excited for this because we are forced to be together.

00:26:52You can't run away.

00:26:53I want him to get to know me and get to know who I am as a person.

00:26:59Hello.

00:26:59Hey, nice to meet you.

00:27:01I'm a hugger as well.

00:27:01Oh, good.

00:27:02Nice to meet you.

00:27:03Lovely to meet you.

00:27:03How are you?

00:27:04I'm seeking an accent.

00:27:05Irish.

00:27:06You know what?

00:27:06My mum's always said she wanted me to marry an Irishman.

00:27:08Really?

00:27:09Oh my God.

00:27:09I'm keen.

00:27:10Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:27:11This is perfect.

00:27:11We're vibing, we're vibing.

00:27:12We're aligned.

00:27:13I love it.

00:27:13You just got to get married first.

00:27:14For me, number two was a big frontrunner.

00:27:17He's Irish and I love an accent.

00:27:19Let's make some notes here, double tick.

00:27:22Irish.

00:27:22What I'm looking for is just someone who is tall, you know, dark hair, dark features and

00:27:30really down to earth and a real genuine guy who actually wants this as much as I do.

00:27:35Hello.

00:27:37Hi.

00:27:37Oh, matching number five.

00:27:39Nice to meet you.

00:27:40I'm a hugger.

00:27:40I'm sorry.

00:27:41Nice to meet you.

00:27:42Lovely to meet you too.

00:27:43All right, I'm going to start off with a big one.

00:27:44Yeah, give it to me.

00:27:45Describe me your perfect date from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed.

00:27:48Perfect date.

00:27:49Perfect date.

00:27:50Perfect day.

00:27:51Perfect day.

00:27:53Definitely somewhere near the beach.

00:27:55Stop.

00:27:56Wake up, probably sex in the morning, I reckon.

00:27:58Yeah.

00:27:58Start it off, then straight into coffee.

00:28:00Love coffee, so.

00:28:01Yeah.

00:28:02I'd say number five was in the top for sure.

00:28:03His answer was amazing.

00:28:06I was like, you started off with Morning Glory, and that's a great way to start your day,

00:28:10mate.

00:28:12And he's just beautiful to look at, so.

00:28:14I wouldn't mind looking at that every day.

00:28:19I'm Tom.

00:28:20I'm 29, and I work as a business analyst.

00:28:24I like your, I like your matching legs.

00:28:28It's cute.

00:28:28So, Tom, how much attention do you get from the opposite sex?

00:28:32How do I answer this without sounding like a douchebag?

00:28:35Well, you're a bit cute.

00:28:36You've got someone else's makeup.

00:28:38I'll just help you though.

00:28:38Oh, great.

00:28:39It's so fine.

00:28:40Just a blow up.

00:28:40Was that yours?

00:28:41No.

00:28:42I'd say I haven't really struggled when it comes to meeting women.

00:28:46Hobbies.

00:28:47I like guitar.

00:28:48That's why.

00:28:51But I haven't really been able to find a meaningful connection with anyone.

00:28:56And why are you still single?

00:28:57What would your ex-girlfriend say?

00:28:58She'd say because she didn't want to be with me.

00:29:01Why?

00:29:05Come on.

00:29:06It's hard for me to kind of let people in and let my guard down.

00:29:11I think potentially because of my previous relationship.

00:29:13I was dating someone for quite a few years and thought that that would be the person that

00:29:19I'd spend the rest of my life with.

00:29:21But it didn't end up that way.

00:29:23And I found out later on that she was seeing her ex-boyfriend.

00:29:27So that was a big hit to the gut.

00:29:32I mean, yeah, the only way to describe that moment when we broke up is just, yeah, heartbroken.

00:29:38I think I've processed the end of that relationship, but there's still wounds there that I haven't

00:29:48quite recovered from.

00:29:51In relationships, it's hard for me to let my guard down.

00:29:54I can be a closed book.

00:29:56It's, yeah, it's hard for me to open up.

00:29:58Being on an island, I'll be forced to be vulnerable and open myself up to someone.

00:30:10I'm looking for a partner who is bubbly and has a good sense of humor.

00:30:14Patience.

00:30:15And, yeah, someone who can break down my walls.

00:30:17I think after seven years, you kind of doubt yourself that you'll ever get to this point.

00:30:26So the fact that I am here feels incredible.

00:30:30Oh, wow.

00:30:33I love this.

00:30:38This is beautiful.

00:30:40I feel like a princess.

00:30:42Just how I wanted to feel on my wedding day.

00:30:44I think it's the first time I've ever looked at myself and thought, far out, I'm gorgeous.

00:30:51Like, any man would be happy to have this.

00:30:55And lucky to have this.

00:30:56So, I'm obsessed.

00:31:01I'm not the most confident person.

00:31:03So, to be sitting here loving myself, I'm like, finally.

00:31:07I hope my husband loves me just as much as I do right now.

00:31:10What I'm looking for is just someone who can just love every little weird bit about me

00:31:20and every little curve that I might have and every weird snort that I do when I laugh.

00:31:25I think I'm most nervous about my partner not liking me.

00:31:39Is he going to be disappointed when he sees me down the aisle?

00:31:41I would be devastated if this was another big projection for me.

00:31:48I would be devastated if this was another big projection for me.

00:32:14And if this isn't to work out, I don't want to have my heart broken.

00:32:22Because I'm ready to give this my entire all and I hope he is too.

00:32:38Hello.

00:32:39Hello.

00:32:41How are you doing?

00:32:42Good to see you.

00:32:45Are you as nervous as I am?

00:32:47Terrified.

00:32:49Okay, good.

00:32:51What's your name?

00:32:52Emily.

00:32:53Tom.

00:32:53Nice to meet you.

00:32:54Nice to meet you.

00:32:55You look amazing.

00:32:56You look very handsome yourself.

00:32:58Thank you very much.

00:33:01He's beautiful.

00:33:03He was 100% the guy I wanted to see at the end of the altar.

00:33:07He's got the most beautiful eyes.

00:33:09I have a big thing for blue eyes.

00:33:10So, yeah, he's gorgeous.

00:33:13Are you ready to do this?

00:33:14I think so.

00:33:15Are you?

00:33:16Yep.

00:33:17No, we got this.

00:33:18We got this together.

00:33:19I am definitely attracted to him.

00:33:21And I hope he's feeling the same.

00:33:22Hello.

00:33:27Ready to get married?

00:33:29Yep.

00:33:30Yeah.

00:33:30Let's do it.

00:33:32Today you will not only exchange rings and vows, but also a promise to embark on this journey

00:33:39with an open heart and an open mind.

00:33:42I invite you both to share your vows with one another.

00:33:47Tom, your vows.

00:33:53Stranger.

00:33:55When I signed up for this experience, I had no idea I'd be standing here with you today,

00:33:59about to marry a 10 out of 10 drop-dead gorgeous stunner.

00:34:03I promise to be your co-captain in this castaway cosplay.

00:34:08Even if you haven't showered for days, I will share a bed with you and always keep the fire

00:34:12going.

00:34:14So let's embrace the insanity and turn this unlikely love story into something to remember.

00:34:19So beautiful.

00:34:20You did well.

00:34:22Emily, I have your vows here.

00:34:24Amazing.

00:34:25To my new husband, the journey of love for me has been far from easy.

00:34:35And after countless failed attempts at finding love, I've at times lost hope in finding the

00:34:40man of my dreams.

00:34:43For years, I've lost confidence in myself.

00:34:46I've tried my hardest at being the perfect partner, molded myself into the girl I think

00:34:50people want, just to please someone else.

00:34:52But today marks a new chapter in not only my life, but our lives together.

00:34:59So, I promise to always be my true authentic self, as I hope you do in return.

00:35:04And most importantly, I promise to give you and this experience my all.

00:35:10Now we get to do the exchanging of rings.

00:35:16What are you thinking of, Emily?

00:35:22A lot of emotions, I guess.

00:35:24Yeah.

00:35:25So, yeah, I think for me, there has to be a spark from the very start.

00:35:34I do.

00:35:35If I'm truly honest with myself, I don't feel the spark.

00:35:42I do.

00:35:45I would say Emily is not my usual type.

00:35:48It brings me great honour to declare you two husband and wife.

00:35:52You may seal the deal with a kiss.

00:36:06There's nothing, nothing there.

00:36:10Amazing.

00:36:11Kiss was very good.

00:36:13Tom went in for the full French kiss.

00:36:15Let's go.

00:36:16Wasn't going to argue it.

00:36:17I was like, I'm here for it.

00:36:18My husband's hot.

00:36:19I'm going to let it happen.

00:36:20I'm going to let you jump on first.

00:36:27He is honestly hot out of ten.

00:36:30I have 100% won the lottery with Tom.

00:36:33Here we go.

00:36:35That was like dream guy, dream wedding.

00:36:38I loved it.

00:36:40Let's go live on an island now.

00:36:47Tom might not be feeling the spark,

00:36:49but there's no turning back now.

00:36:52Okay, I'm kind of freaking out now.

00:36:57When I'm dating and when I meet someone...

00:37:01What a great start.

00:37:03If I don't feel like there's that spark

00:37:05or something doesn't click or feel right,

00:37:08it usually takes me a long time to open up to someone.

00:37:11But I'm about to be stranded on an island with this girl.

00:37:29So to give this relationship the best chance of succeeding,

00:37:33I know that I'm going to have to be open and vulnerable

00:37:37and try to make a change from my old ways.

00:37:39Should we check out this hut?

00:37:42I really want to throw myself into this

00:37:44and be fully committed to this.

00:37:46But I'm packing it right now, for sure.

00:37:49After walking down the aisle just hours ago,

00:38:06relationship coach Jess and personal trainer Sam

00:38:10are getting better acquainted in their new island home.

00:38:13What do you do for work?

00:38:17Just try to keep it in.

00:38:19I'm a writer and a dating and relationship coach.

00:38:25You are not.

00:38:27You are not.

00:38:28Are you going to give us advice?

00:38:29Are you going to be our therapist?

00:38:32No, not for us.

00:38:33I'm not going to give you advice.

00:38:34Being stranded on this island for three weeks

00:38:36I think is going to be hugely valuable.

00:38:38I think we're going to learn a lot about each other and ourselves.

00:38:40Yeah, I'll be vulnerable and say I feel a bit of a connection.

00:38:44So, yeah.

00:38:45Me too.

00:38:46I'm happy.

00:38:47Me too.

00:38:52While Jess and Sam get settled into island life...

00:38:56..one more brand-new couple are about to take the plunge

00:39:04and marry someone they've only met once before.

00:39:07I mean, it's a strange feeling.

00:39:15You know, I'm kind of just in this whole limbo world.

00:39:20I don't know who I'm marrying today,

00:39:22but as crazy as it sounds,

00:39:24I am trusting the process.

00:39:30My name's Emmanuel.

00:39:31I'm 34 years old.

00:39:32I'm a musician and a music producer.

00:39:34And I live on the Gold Coast.

00:39:36I play in a band which plays alternative rock and roll.

00:39:39I've worked with Matt Corby,

00:39:41The Kid Leroy,

00:39:42Jessica Mowboy.

00:39:44My goal is to be as big as Pharrell Williams.

00:39:49We are the riot.

00:39:50I am so ambitious and really want to chase my dream.

00:39:58But my music career has just consumed my life

00:40:00and hasn't allowed me to really have a relationship.

00:40:04Since I've gotten older,

00:40:07I've realized we all care about things that don't really matter.

00:40:11I've just allowed myself to fall into this trap of work, work, work.

00:40:17I want to get stranded because I need work to disappear

00:40:20so I can really focus on a relationship.

00:40:23I've neglected really finding my life partner,

00:40:27which is just as important as my job.

00:40:31Maybe more important, to be honest,

00:40:33because you retire at some stage, don't you?

00:40:35But you don't retire a relationship.

00:40:39That's forever, in my eyes.

00:40:43Hi.

00:40:43Hello.

00:40:44How are you?

00:40:44Good, how are you?

00:40:45Very well, how are you?

00:40:46Good, thank you.

00:40:48Lovely to meet you.

00:40:49Do you think you're a catch?

00:40:51I think I'm a catch.

00:40:52I think I'm a catch.

00:40:53I'm caring, I'm forgiving, I'm compassionate.

00:40:57I'm a lover, you know?

00:41:00So what are you hoping to, like, get out of this experience?

00:41:02I mean, yeah, just a life partner.

00:41:05I'm at the place in my life where it's, like,

00:41:07I want to have something with someone together.

00:41:11Yeah.

00:41:12My mum was telling me the other day,

00:41:13she's like, aren't you sick of being alone?

00:41:15I said, I know, mum.

00:41:17I'm tired of superficial relationships.

00:41:20I really want something deep and meaningful

00:41:22and, yeah, a life partner.

00:41:26Hello.

00:41:26Oh, hi, how are you going?

00:41:27Nice to meet you.

00:41:32What do you look for in a life partner?

00:41:34Ooh, good question.

00:41:37Emotionally intelligent.

00:41:39They have to, yeah,

00:41:41have to be able to hold a deep conversation,

00:41:43but also not take themselves too seriously.

00:41:46Love a bit of banter.

00:41:48Yeah.

00:41:49Gotta be able to hold the bands.

00:41:50I love it.

00:41:51Yeah, gotta have the bands.

00:41:51Gotta have the bands.

00:41:52Yeah.

00:41:55Oh, 14's really hot.

00:41:57And I think that's what is the most important thing.

00:42:00Yeah.

00:42:01Is to establish a best friend within your relationship.

00:42:04I want, like, professional, tall, dark, handsome.

00:42:08Do you hold off on sleeping with somebody until you've done that?

00:42:10I mean, yeah.

00:42:11It's never, for me, it's never done.

00:42:13Suave.

00:42:14Sexy.

00:42:15Yeah.

00:42:16I'm done.

00:42:17I'm done.

00:42:19I'm Dani.

00:42:20I'm 34.

00:42:21And I'm from Magnetic Island.

00:42:26It was a dating scene.

00:42:28Oh, my God.

00:42:29It is dire.

00:42:31Dire.

00:42:32It's just, I mean, I'm talking long-sleeved fisherman shirts,

00:42:36like, three-quarter board shorts, reflective sunnies.

00:42:40Like, it's...

00:42:41Oh.

00:42:42Mullets with three kids,

00:42:44and they can't, you know, pull a sentence together.

00:42:46I can't deal.

00:42:51I think I need a change of pace

00:42:54Just a little empty space to find myself

00:42:57I moved to Magnetic Island because I was working in Sydney

00:43:00in a corporate job, classic nine-to-five,

00:43:03slaving away at my desk, living the dream,

00:43:06and I was miserable.

00:43:09Cheers, my love.

00:43:11So nice to see you.

00:43:12Magnetic Island was the best move ever

00:43:14because it's just this alternate universe

00:43:16where everything's really slow-paced.

00:43:19It's, like, no bra, no shoes.

00:43:20No one, can I swear?

00:43:22Yeah, go for it.

00:43:22No one gives a shit what you do for a living,

00:43:25and it's very chill.

00:43:29But I'm at a stage now where I'm starting to think about,

00:43:32OK, what does my future look like?

00:43:35Every now and again, I'll, like, catch myself

00:43:37walking through a shopping centre

00:43:38and see a mum with, like, a new baby

00:43:40and think, oh, that'll be me soon.

00:43:41I've done my whole life alone for so long now

00:43:47and I just want to find someone to settle down with.

00:43:52I don't want to be single forever.

00:43:54I think it's inevitable that it's going to be a wild ride.

00:44:00Three weeks, just the two of us, stuck on an island.

00:44:03We've really only got each other.

00:44:05So we're either going to love each other

00:44:07or we're going to hate each other.

00:44:09But I am in my YOLO era.

00:44:12Imagine if I did fall in love.

00:44:14How fun would that be?

00:44:15It could be the beginning of the rest of my life.

00:44:28Love the heights.

00:44:29I'm all for the height.

00:44:30Hello.

00:44:31Hello.

00:44:32How are you?

00:44:36Here we are.

00:44:37Here we are.

00:44:38Yeah.

00:44:40He's super hot.

00:44:42I'm into it.

00:44:44Yeah, you smell good.

00:44:45Ah, thank you.

00:44:47It's actually such a good result.

00:44:49Yeah, I think it's all going to be okay.

00:44:52I like your suit.

00:44:53I like your outfit.

00:44:55That's good.

00:44:58Are we waiting?

00:44:59I don't know what to do.

00:45:02I felt happy to have finally seen her.

00:45:05She looks pretty.

00:45:06She's really stunning.

00:45:08But I can't remember her from speed dating at all.

00:45:12How are you feeling?

00:45:14I'm happy.

00:45:14I'm very happy.

00:45:16Yeah.

00:45:17Okay, good.

00:45:19I do remember a few brunettes, but I'm not sure.

00:45:23Does she have a leg tattoo?

00:45:24Do you guys know each other's names yet?

00:45:37No.

00:45:37Well, Emanuel, meet Daniel.

00:45:41Nice to meet you, Daniel.

00:45:42Hi, Daniel.

00:45:42Meet Emanuel.

00:45:43Nice to meet you.

00:45:45Hang on.

00:45:46Now I'm trying to remember if I actually did.

00:45:48You've both taken time to write your own vows.

00:45:52Just work in hospitality.

00:45:54I want to invite you now to share those.

00:45:57Or the one in the red dress.

00:45:59I'm going to have to look back on that tape.

00:46:00I can't remember.

00:46:01I can't remember.

00:46:03Okay.

00:46:05Emanuel.

00:46:06I've been waiting a long time for this.

00:46:08An opportunity to find my person.

00:46:11Sometimes I think I'm crazy.

00:46:12Who travels to a tropical island to marry a stranger?

00:46:15We do.

00:46:16Apparently us.

00:46:19I spent a lot of time persisting in relationships that weren't right for me.

00:46:23And it's only when life throws you obstacles, you realize how important it is to have the right person by your side.

00:46:29I'm looking for a true connection.

00:46:31To have a friend and a partner.

00:46:33To be seen and heard and loved with equal weight.

00:46:38What I need from you is the willingness and patience to get to know me.

00:46:42I'm excited to get to know you.

00:46:44To understand you.

00:46:46And to lean into the possibility of what this could be.

00:46:49Thank you for trusting me with your heart.

00:46:52And I can't wait to show you all the layers that are Danny.

00:46:56That's beautiful.

00:46:58I don't remember Danny at all, to be honest.

00:47:01But we're both just really tired of being alone.

00:47:05And really want to find someone in the most genuine way possible.

00:47:10So, nerves are gone finally.

00:47:13And I feel very excited.

00:47:16I stand here today preparing to marry you a complete stranger.

00:47:32I know most people would think it's a crazy way to go about finding love.

00:47:38But this experience doesn't scare me.

00:47:41So, with my heart wide open, I say I do.

00:47:48Here's to a time of discovery, happiness, and creating the most beautiful story we can together.

00:47:54And in the end, hopefully there is love.

00:47:57Beautiful.

00:47:59Well written.

00:48:02Danielle and Emmanuel.

00:48:04I now pronounce you to be husband and wife.

00:48:07Congratulations.

00:48:08It's time for the kiss.

00:48:09Woohoo!

00:48:10I'm just going to take you.

00:48:14Woo!

00:48:16Now we're in!

00:48:18Off to our island.

00:48:20Danny and Emmanuel have left civilisation behind and are headed for Honeymoon Island.

00:48:26Oh my God.

00:48:28I can see a little shelter thing on that corner.

00:48:34There's no walls, is there?

00:48:36There's no walls, just the roof.

00:48:39I'm struggling to remember Danny.

00:48:42Oh my God.

00:48:44But we're a team now.

00:48:46You ready?

00:48:47No.

00:48:48We need to not only survive, but get to know each other and hopefully build a strong bond that, you know, goes beyond this island.

00:48:55All right, let's do this.

00:48:57Ready, set, go.

00:49:00Scary and exciting, but I'm ready just to throw myself into the deep end to find my life harder.

00:49:11It's the first night on Honeymoon Island for our three new couples, and now the adventure can begin.

00:49:22I feel really lucky that I got you.

00:49:24Really?

00:49:25Yeah.

00:49:26I feel lucky.

00:49:27Really?

00:49:28Yeah.

00:49:32Marrying a stranger was the easy part.

00:49:35We cannot find matches to light a simplifier.

00:49:38It has to be here.

00:49:40Do you see a flint?

00:49:41Maybe there's a flint.

00:49:42What's a flint?

00:49:45I don't actually know what it is.

00:49:48So, batten down the hatches and hold on tight, because this experience is about to blow them away.

00:49:56Holy shit!

00:49:58Oh, this is for real!

00:50:08We're screwed!

00:50:08As the sun rises over the South Pacific, all six couples are officially stranded on Honeymoon Island.

00:50:26I'm wide awake!

00:50:28After yesterday's confrontation, Amy and Mike are taking it slow.

00:50:34I think Mike is emotional.

00:50:40I think he's upset.

00:50:43I don't think there'll be much chitchat today.

00:50:46We'll probably stay to our separate corners of the camp, but I now feel like everything that's been bubbling up inside me is out, and I feel like we can really start on working from a fresh slate tomorrow.

00:51:04I don't want there to be this rift between us.

00:51:08He is my partner in this, and at the end of the day, we really only have each other here.

00:51:14I hope that we can move forward from this.

00:51:18I guess we'll just see.

00:51:24How's that?

00:51:26I'm wearing beach shorts.

00:51:27Since being married, Flight Attendant Georgia and 46-year-old Bachelor Chad are yet to have their first kiss.

00:51:39We feel like we're in our little bubble.

00:51:41We're in our little bubble.

00:51:41We're in a bubble.

00:51:42Our little honeymoon bubble.

00:51:44We do want to take things slow, but...

00:51:46I'm feeling like the chemistry is definitely there, and I'm very attracted to Chad, like mentally and physically.

00:51:54Of course, it's hard to take it slow.

00:51:58You look good.

00:51:59Do you like that?

00:52:00I do.

00:52:12It's always scary getting new feelings for someone, but I always say, no risk, no reward.

00:52:19It just felt right, so...

00:52:21Yeah.

00:52:22It was so nice.

00:52:23As you can see by the grin on my face.

00:52:26Can't wait.

00:52:27The smile off.

00:52:33It was worth the wait.

00:52:38Yeah.

00:52:40Yeah.

00:52:42Like some firewood.

00:52:44Commitment for Brie is starting to warm up to island life with laid-back Sparky Byron.

00:52:54Let's cut them up.

00:52:55All right.

00:52:56Am I doing it?

00:52:57Yeah.

00:52:58Don't you wind up.

00:52:59Why?

00:53:00I think she's doing really well considering she's never had an experience like this before,

00:53:07of like camping and being outdoors.

00:53:09What are we going to do with the other half of the pants, that's the question.

00:53:12Then you add being married to a random, yeah, it's pretty overwhelming, but...

00:53:17All right.

00:53:18All right, let's try it on.

00:53:20She's keeping the entertainment there and a bit of creativity, which is fun.

00:53:26We've got leg warmers.

00:53:28Perfect.

00:53:29We can do a jazz routine.

00:53:31It's obvious to see Brie likes me and I really like Brie too, you know, so if we didn't like

00:53:36each other, we wouldn't be this happy and enjoying every day.

00:53:41It kind of suits you.

00:53:42You can't look like a nun.

00:53:45A hot nun?

00:53:46Yeah, of course.

00:53:48Our brand new couples are still adjusting to living in the elements.

00:53:54That wind last night, like, it was moving the bed with both of us on it.

00:54:00How'd you sleep?

00:54:01I don't think I actually slept.

00:54:03But relationship coach Jess and personal trainer Sam are too besotted to notice.

00:54:13Give it all the way.

00:54:15The night in the honeymoon suite was very relaxed, very chill, nothing risque to report.

00:54:23The physical chemistry, romantic spark is still there.

00:54:27Hello, yes, it's Jessica in Alfresco Paradiso.

00:54:32Yes, I'd like a double shot oatmeal latte.

00:54:36Yes, honey.

00:54:36Is that right?

00:54:37With honey?

00:54:37Mm-hmm.

00:54:38I'm the kind of person that will wake up every day and go to bed every night and be like,

00:54:43hey, do you still like me?

00:54:44Because I need that kind of reassurance.

00:54:46But at the moment, I still think it's there organically, which is amazing.

00:54:52Thank you very much.

00:54:52Catch up.

00:54:53See you soon.

00:54:54While Jess still fills the chemistry with new hubby Sam, on Emily and Tom's island, there's

00:55:05no fire.

00:55:06And for Tom, there's no spark.

00:55:10So today, I will cut your dress down so you can actually walk around.

00:55:14And the fire is a priority as well.

00:55:17Yeah, I think waking up this morning, it's kind of all hit me of exactly what I've got

00:55:23myself into.

00:55:25I might reveal too much.

00:55:27Very close to my butt.

00:55:29Yeah, we'll just see.

00:55:30Still don't know if there's that spark there at the moment.

00:55:37In the past, I'd say if I didn't see that spark with someone or, you know, I guess sometimes

00:55:42you might get the ick or something like that, I would usually cut things off, maybe even ghost

00:55:47someone.

00:55:50But being on an island and stranded with her, it's going to be a lot tougher than what

00:55:55I imagined going into this.

00:55:58I can move.

00:56:01I don't think she really knows how I'm feeling.

00:56:04It's just an awkward situation.

00:56:07It actually doesn't look too bad.

00:56:08I feel the need to run away from Emily, but I can't.

00:56:14I'll do a catwalk later.

00:56:15Okay.

00:56:17There has been no development in the romance department.

00:56:21I think for now, it's very platonic.

00:56:24So I think I need to set myself like a personal task.

00:56:28Of maybe flirting a little bit more and see where that leads us.

00:56:33And if it does create more of a romantic spark.

00:56:36We can use this for so much stuff.

00:56:41Sleeping masks.

00:56:44Could also use it for something else, but you know, we'll work that out later.

00:56:49Handcast.

00:56:49I also feel like he is holding back a little bit.

00:56:54I would love to break down his walls, and we will see how he reacts to it.

00:57:01Matches?

00:57:02It has to be somewhere right in front of us that we can't see.

00:57:07All right.

00:57:08First one to start a fire.

00:57:09Is that what you want to do?

00:57:11Gives the other one a massage.

00:57:13All right.

00:57:14Yeah?

00:57:15I don't do it.

00:57:17All right.

00:57:17I'll go.

00:57:18Yeah.

00:57:19I'll look forward to my massage.

00:57:20I am 100% confident that I can get what I want out of this situation.

00:57:27I'm getting a massage out of this.

00:57:30It has to be here.

00:57:34Am I just blind?

00:57:40The matches are right there.

00:57:41This is so embarrassing that we could not find these last night.

00:57:52It was very difficult to see, but I'm so glad I found them, and I'm going to get the

00:57:58best massage tonight.

00:58:00I cannot wait.

00:58:04What happened to your fire?

00:58:05I'm still searching.

00:58:06It's just a pit stop.

00:58:07I'm just getting some water.

00:58:11No, you did not.

00:58:17Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

00:58:20I can't wait for my massage tonight.

00:58:23I didn't really agree to the terms of this.

00:58:29It's just a five-minute massage, right?

00:58:32It's not...

00:58:33Like, this wasn't an hour long.

00:58:36Okay, at least 10 minutes.

00:58:40Okay, I can do it with 10 minutes.

00:58:41Yeah.

00:58:44I honestly have no idea what's going on in Tom's head.

00:58:50Do you like it hard?

00:58:51So you can go as hard as you like, if you like.

00:58:53It's hard?

00:58:54Yeah.

00:58:58I don't know if he's an affectionate person.

00:59:00It doesn't seem like it.

00:59:02Can we set the timer for 10 minutes?

00:59:06It's a mental timer at this point.

00:59:07I expect you to be counting down.

00:59:10Sure.

00:59:12I'm flirting and he is the one pulling back.

00:59:15I'm done.

00:59:19All right.

00:59:19So my debt's paid?

00:59:21Yeah.

00:59:21Good.

00:59:22I'm starting to realise that, yeah, he's distant with me.

00:59:29If he's not interested, then that's fine.

00:59:32But I also would prefer him to tell me that.

00:59:36So I'm not trying to put in all this effort again and get little in return.

00:59:42After being single for seven years, I am so scared of getting hurt again.

00:59:49And if this isn't to work out, I don't want to have my heart broken once again.

01:00:11Shall I make jorts?

01:00:13Yes.

01:00:14For Danny and Emanuel, getting married and stranded on Honeymoon Island hasn't exactly

01:00:22been smooth sailing.

01:00:24Hi, Nick.

01:00:25Hi, Nick.

01:00:26Not only did Emanuel not recognise his new wife at the altar, Gail Forcewinds last night

01:00:33prevented them from getting acquainted.

01:00:36What would you like on the menu, Dal?

01:00:37A bit of shakshuka?

01:00:39Shakshuka would be great.

01:00:40Shakshuka, no eggs.

01:00:41Let's run it.

01:00:42Danny and I are getting along really well, but I'm struggling to remember Danny from

01:00:47the speed dating event.

01:00:48And I'm not really sure what we have in common right now.

01:00:52It's our first dinner together.

01:00:53That's cute.

01:00:55Is this our first date?

01:00:57This is our first date.

01:00:58So I'm hoping the more I get to spend time with Danny, we can get to know each other on

01:01:03a deeper level.

01:01:05Cheers.

01:01:06This is our first date.

01:01:09It's really nice.

01:01:10Are you originally from Sydney?

01:01:12Yeah, I'm originally from Sydney.

01:01:14And now I'm a Gold Coastian.

01:01:16Are you from Sydney?

01:01:17Yeah.

01:01:18I was born in Sydney and then now I live on Magnetic Island, just off Townsville.

01:01:23Sydney is like really hustle and bustle and crazy and like...

01:01:26It's too much, hey.

01:01:27It's getting very angsty for me and I just wanted to go and find what I love the most.

01:01:31Yep, I know that feeling.

01:01:33I climbed the corporate ladder.

01:01:34I lived the city life.

01:01:35I did all that.

01:01:36Yeah.

01:01:36And then I burnt out.

01:01:38Yeah, that's exactly right.

01:01:39It's not fun.

01:01:40It's not.

01:01:42First day was really nice.

01:01:44We are both in Queensland running away from our city fears.

01:01:49We have a very similar outlook on life and I'm starting to realise why we've been stranded

01:01:55on this island together.

01:01:57I think that's why I love Maggie so much.

01:02:00I've just never been anywhere where I could be more like myself.

01:02:04Yeah.

01:02:04And be so accepted for who I am.

01:02:06I love that.

01:02:07I love that.

01:02:07Yeah.

01:02:08Yeah, I'm the same type of person.

01:02:09Yeah.

01:02:10We share the same values and it's a good energy and the conversation and vibes are flowing.

01:02:17I mean, I'm excited about the next three weeks now.

01:02:20It's a good day.

01:02:30Let me give this thing a whirl.

01:02:32It's really good actually.

01:02:33Is it just?

01:02:34Yeah.

01:02:35I think we just get a new one every day and that's how we do it.

01:02:37After an instant attraction at the wedding, Jess and Sam have been swept away by their chemistry

01:02:43and are now in marital bliss.

01:02:46It looks pretty good.

01:02:47But how long will the honeymoon period last?

01:02:50I'm really impressed.

01:02:52You know, everything's been really, really amazing.

01:02:54We had a really epic night in bed together last night.

01:02:57Lots of cuddling.

01:02:57There's been lots of kissing, lots of love, lots of touching.

01:03:00Give me a high five or a hug.

01:03:03I'm doing high fives.

01:03:05Nice job.

01:03:06Part of me wants to go like, oh my God, is this happening?

01:03:10This is the one.

01:03:11But I've had relationships in the past where you start too fast, too early and the emotional

01:03:18connection struggles.

01:03:19I've got to be careful not to fall into that trap.

01:03:28I feel a really good connection with you and a chemistry and a comfortability with you.

01:03:35Like, I really do.

01:03:36It's been a great 24 hours and we're like, you know, literally like the chemistry in your

01:03:42head.

01:03:42Like, endorphins are starting to go, dopamine's starting to go, serotonin's starting to go.

01:03:47Yes, I understand.

01:03:48And then when we slow down for a second and we go like, oh, like, is this even real?

01:03:52Like, you know?

01:03:53Yeah.

01:03:53But with what I've been doing over the last four months, three and a half, whatever,

01:04:00you know, I'm able to look at things much more level-headedly.

01:04:03Like, for this to seriously work, it's going to be slow.

01:04:11It's just because, you know.

01:04:15Yeah.

01:04:20So.

01:04:22Yeah.

01:04:22I'm really grateful I've got you and I'm glad we can have these conversations and...

01:04:27Me too.

01:04:31That conversation today did throw me a little bit.

01:04:35He needs space.

01:04:37This is what tends to happen when I meet men.

01:04:41There's amazing chemistry to start with and then suddenly they'll start to pull away.

01:04:48It feels like Sam is losing interest.

01:04:50You do what you need to do.

01:04:52I just want to try and do this right.

01:05:01I had so much hope that this experience would be different for me.

01:05:04So.

01:05:06I am a little bit confused and honestly a little bit disappointed.

01:05:12The island will force all our couples to confront their bad relationship habits from the past

01:05:23and face their own red flags in order to create a long-lasting relationship.

01:05:29Water feels nice.

01:05:30And after being stranded for 24 hours, they're about to receive a wedding gift.

01:05:38Oh!

01:05:39Oh!

01:05:40What is that?

01:05:41Let's go.

01:05:42Oh, I hope there's snacks in it.

01:05:44I hope there is.

01:05:47What is that?

01:05:48This mysterious orange crate.

01:05:53What's going on here?

01:05:54Yeah.

01:05:55Is the first of many that will arrive throughout their time on Honeymoon Island.

01:06:00Great!

01:06:01Finally!

01:06:01Something's landed on our island.

01:06:03They'll contain surprises, challenges and tests to accelerate their bond and push their relationships forward.

01:06:11All right, let's go.

01:06:14This is exciting.

01:06:16Ready?

01:06:17Three, two, one.

01:06:19Oh, my God.

01:06:21Go.

01:06:24Yay!

01:06:25Oh, my God.

01:06:27Today's crate celebrates our couple's nuptials.

01:06:31Wow.

01:06:32That's cute.

01:06:33Look at us.

01:06:34And brings a message from home.

01:06:36What have we got here?

01:06:37Kind words of wisdom and support.

01:06:41Haven't seen one of those in a while.

01:06:43I know, right?

01:06:43Technology.

01:06:44What have we got here?

01:06:45For our isolated couples.

01:06:47Hello.

01:06:48Hi.

01:06:49Hi, Denny.

01:06:50My name's Emily.

01:06:51I'm Denny's best friend.

01:06:53She's never been the sort of person to follow the crowd.

01:06:58I'm so happy that she's taken this risk in trying to find love.

01:07:02Oh, I love her so much.

01:07:04Hi, Daniel.

01:07:08That's my sister.

01:07:09I can't believe you're married.

01:07:11I just really hope what you gain from this whole experience is that you are so worthy

01:07:16of being loved no matter the situation.

01:07:20She's beautiful.

01:07:21Other messages will contain reminders as to why they've committed to 21 days of isolation.

01:07:30No, I think you should go first.

01:07:31To help them avoid relationship mistakes from the past.

01:07:35I feel like Tom is holding back a little bit.

01:07:39I would love to break down his walls and get to more the nitty gritty of why he's pulling

01:07:44away a little bit and understand who he is as a person.

01:07:47Well, Thomas Brown, how did we end up here?

01:07:51Yeah, that's my brother-in-law.

01:07:53You're on an island and you're married.

01:07:55Something that we didn't think we'd be saying a few months ago, but here we are.

01:07:59We know that you had a pretty bad breakup a couple of years ago and it took a toll on you.

01:08:07And it's been a bit of a struggle for you ever since.

01:08:10You haven't been able to, you know, find the perfect girl.

01:08:15You've got so much to offer.

01:08:17You're a tremendous bloke.

01:08:18And the girls tell me that you're not too bad on the eye either.

01:08:21So that's probably a good thing.

01:08:23We're all so proud of you, mate.

01:08:24And all the best.

01:08:26That's funny.

01:08:26Do you want to tell me about your ex?

01:08:37There's a time in my life where I found someone that, yeah, I thought was going to be the person

01:08:42that I'd marry and spend the rest of my life with, but yeah, it just didn't work out.

01:08:50She kind of ended things, like, kind of out of the blue.

01:08:52And I think that's probably why I've struggled dating after that.

01:09:00I think I've been looking for that same kind of connection that I had with her.

01:09:06Do you feel that, you know, you're not completely over her in that case?

01:09:19After hearing about Tom's past relationship, Emily is desperately trying to find out why

01:09:40he's pulling away from her.

01:09:41There's a time in my life where I found someone that, yeah, I thought was going to be the person

01:09:46that I'd marry and spend the rest of my life with, but yeah, it just didn't work out.

01:09:51Do you feel that, you know, you're not completely over her in that case?

01:09:59I'm completely over her, but there's a slight fear of getting in a situation where, you know,

01:10:12I make a commitment to the wrong person and it ends badly.

01:10:16You know, you fall in love with them and you think you're going to start a life with them,

01:10:23but then it doesn't go to plan and then things end.

01:10:26And then you go through that trauma of another breakup.

01:10:29So I end up cutting things off.

01:10:33So I don't have a chance to, you know, to have that rejection.

01:10:39But yeah.

01:10:39Have you always been the one to break things off?

01:10:56I probably have been the one to end things, I think.

01:11:02I'll start dating someone and then after a few times being with them,

01:11:07there's something in my gut that tells me it's not going to work out.

01:11:12So I usually just cut things off without really letting them know why I'm cutting things off

01:11:20or give them excuses for other reasons as to why I'm cutting it off, I guess.

01:11:25So you tell them lies?

01:11:29No, I wouldn't say I tell them lies.

01:11:34Or maybe a white lie.

01:11:36This whole situation is really triggering.

01:11:41I've been lied to in the past and I'm constantly getting ghosted.

01:11:45His past relationships have sort of moulded him into who he is,

01:11:49which is someone who runs away quite easily

01:11:52and doesn't really give things a chance.

01:11:56But that's kind of part of the reason I took up this experience

01:11:59was that you don't have that opportunity to just cut things off and run away.

01:12:05It is a scary thing to keep trying with Tom but I think this island is a great place to move past that sort of issues that we both have.

01:12:16Do you feel like you'd get things better off your chest if you started opening up and maybe that would help you in relationships?

01:12:23Yeah, definitely Emily. I think that would help but stubborn and it's hard for me to do that.

01:12:32Yeah, I'm not going to give up at this point in time.

01:12:34I'm going to keep trying at it and see if we can develop something with these little sparks.

01:12:40I'm a very good talker, if you haven't noticed.

01:12:43I have noticed.

01:12:45In no way am I ready to throw in the towel and give up.

01:12:49I really want to break my bad habit of running away.

01:12:53I need to be open to this.

01:12:56I really like Emily and moving forward I think I just want to continue having those conversations with her

01:13:01and getting to know her and just see where it goes.

01:13:04I'll make you talk more.

01:13:07Great.

01:13:10So far, the messages from home have been crucial in offering insight into each other's behaviour.

01:13:23Let's do it.

01:13:26Sam has asked that we take things slow, which I'm completely happy with.

01:13:31But it feels like rejection and it feels like he's losing interest in me already.

01:13:36So I'm a little bit worried about where I stand with Sam.

01:13:41Hi, Sam.

01:13:42I'm so excited to be able to send this message to you.

01:13:46It's your mum.

01:13:46Yeah, it's mum.

01:13:48Sam, it's been a huge year for us, for the family and for you in particular.

01:13:52You know, losing your dad at your age is really difficult and it's been a tough ride for all of us.

01:14:03I know your dad's proud of you.

01:14:04To your new partner in life, he's got a massive heart.

01:14:11I'm very biased, but, you know, I'm his mum.

01:14:17Relationships are not easy and just throwing love into it doesn't make it a magic formula.

01:14:23Please work at it, be kind to each other, reflect on each other, reflect on who you are and who she is.

01:14:31I miss you already.

01:14:33Love you, mate. Bye.

01:14:35Love you, mum.

01:14:36She's wise.

01:14:38Ah, yeah.

01:14:43Seeing him get emotional about the message from his mum was really touching.

01:14:50Need a minute?

01:14:51I'll be right.

01:14:52Um, which we've just been through, like, we've been through so much, like, as a family.

01:15:04And, um, we've just both been each other's rocks, like, so many times.

01:15:09And, um, I think my mum, she's really ready to see me just be, like, really happy.

01:15:16Yeah.

01:15:17Sam has been through a lot.

01:15:19I feel like I have a better idea of who Sam is right now, and I can understand why he might want to move a little bit slower.

01:15:28It just, it'd mean, it'd mean a lot to be able to find the one.

01:15:31Yeah.

01:15:33Yeah.

01:15:34I don't think he's lost interest in me.

01:15:36He's just going through a lot.

01:15:39I just need to remember why I'm here.

01:15:42You okay?

01:15:43Yeah.

01:15:44I know from my past experiences that chemistry fades, and I came here to build a strong foundation with somebody.

01:15:55All right.

01:15:55So, I'll go as slow as I need to.

01:16:08Across all six islands, the experience is underway.

01:16:13Nature's dishwasher.

01:16:15Oh, yeah.

01:16:15Motorsport host Mike and TikToker Amy are co-existing and being civil with each other.

01:16:25Have we got enough for tonight, do you reckon?

01:16:28We've got enough for, like, four days.

01:16:29Enough firework for days.

01:16:31Easy.

01:16:32For days.

01:16:33For now.

01:16:35Because the day has one last surprise.

01:16:39Oi.

01:16:41Yeah?

01:16:42We've got something.

01:16:44Oh, my God.

01:16:44What the hell's that?

01:16:48Did you put that there?

01:16:50No.

01:16:51Oh, my God.

01:16:53That means to watch the show.

01:16:56I see the bottle, and I was like, oh, here we go.

01:17:00Oh, what?

01:17:02What is it?

01:17:03What is that?

01:17:05Another container.

01:17:06I didn't even see it.

01:17:07Another container.

01:17:09It's a message in a bottle.

01:17:11Okay, do you want to do the honest?

01:17:14Oh, my God.

01:17:18Oh, my God.

01:17:20Oh, my God.

01:17:22Oh, my God.

01:17:22Oh, my God, look.

01:17:40What?

01:17:45What?

01:17:46What is it?

01:17:47The message in a bottle.

01:17:48A message in a bottle?

01:17:49A message in a bottle has washed up on the shore of all six islands.

01:17:56Okay, do you want to do the honest?

01:17:58An invitation too good to refuse.

01:18:03Oh!

01:18:03Nearly wets.

01:18:06Tomorrow, you will meet the other couples who are sharing this experience with you.

01:18:10The time has come for Couples Cove.

01:18:13A boat will arrive in the morning to collect you and take you to Couples Cove.

01:18:18Ooh, cowbonga.

01:18:20Couples Cove.

01:18:21That's exciting.

01:18:21Wow.

01:18:22I'm so excited to just hear, like, we're not alone in this and there's other couples going through this exact same thing.

01:18:29Prepare yourselves to share experiences with the other couples going through it with you.

01:18:34Yeah.

01:18:36That'll be interesting.

01:18:37Yes, oh, my God.

01:18:41Exciting.

01:18:44I'm looking forward to Couples Cove.

01:18:47I can't wait to tell the other couples about Mike and what I've had to deal with.

01:19:00What are you feeling about seeing the other couples?

01:19:04I'm excited.

01:19:05Hiya.

01:19:05It'll be interesting to see who is there.

01:19:11What do you mean?

01:19:14Something I haven't told you.

01:19:18There was one guy at the speed dating.

01:19:20Actually, you before.

01:19:23What, like, you dated before?

01:19:25No, not really dated.

01:19:26Just matched on the apps.

01:19:29I'm like, yeah, okay.

01:19:32Just made some very vulgar comments.

01:19:35There is one particular person that I do not want to see at Couples Cove.

01:19:41When I saw him at the speed dating night, it kind of blew my mind that we were sort of in this experience at the same time.

01:19:48Fingers crossed he's not going to be at Couples Cove, because I blocked him on everything after the comments that he made.

01:19:55He is just icky.

01:19:56He is just icky.

01:19:57I don't want him to be there.

01:19:59What stuff did he say to you before the speed dating event?

01:20:03Um, ask me what colour underwear I was wearing.

01:20:08I just think that's really inappropriate.

01:20:13I don't know the guy from a bar of soap.

01:20:15I don't know his sense of humour.

01:20:17He doesn't know mine.

01:20:18To me, this guy's character doesn't show that he's genuine and that he's actually looking for a relationship.

01:20:23For someone to be in their 30s and making those kind of ridiculous remarks is disgusting to me and just shows it not mature enough, not the kind of person I would want to be with.

01:20:34Which guy was it?

01:20:35His name's Mike.

01:20:41Cool, Kiwi, Mike.

01:20:44Sweet as.

01:20:47I just don't want to have anything to do with someone who asks those disgusting questions.

01:20:52Yeah, right.

01:20:53Would you tell his wife that this happened if he was there?

01:20:56I definitely want to say something.

01:20:58I'd definitely let her know, like, the kind of person that I dealt with.

01:21:01I am someone who always has my girls' backs.

01:21:06If this guy is at Couples Cove, I will be pulling his wife aside and letting her know the disgusting comments that he's made.

01:21:16Nah, sorry, he's not going to be there. I wouldn't worry about it.

01:21:20Let's hope.

01:21:22Fingers crossed, Mike is not at Couples Cove.

01:21:25Still to come.

01:21:32Six new couples are leaving their island bubble.

01:21:36I'm so excited to meet the other couples.

01:21:38And setting sail for Couples Cove.

01:21:41This is it.

01:21:45Welcome to our party.

01:21:46Where one groom's past...

01:21:48Paula!

01:21:49...will come to the surface.

01:21:51Oh, my God.

01:21:51Is that him?

01:21:52Yeah.

01:21:52And where secrets and scandals...

01:21:56Okay, so I'm going to talk to you about something.

01:21:59I met Mike prior to the speed dating night.

01:22:01Really?

01:22:02...rise up...

01:22:03I do have a question.

01:22:05...in a tsunami of drama.

01:22:07Why do you have a relationship on the outside of this?

01:22:10Bam! That's a big bomb drop.

01:22:12...sweeping one couple into very troubled waters.
