00:00:00Previously...
00:00:02Real chemistry with you guys.
00:00:03The commitment ceremony saw some couples united.
00:00:07Can I just say how gorgeous it is to see the two of you glowing?
00:00:11Debbie threw John a curveball by voting to stay.
00:00:15I don't think we saw that coming.
00:00:17No.
00:00:18And it was all over...
00:00:19I told you guys what I was looking for.
00:00:21For Scarlett and Michael.
00:00:22I think I am happy with my decision.
00:00:24And Cheryl and Jonathan.
00:00:25So betrayed by you.
00:00:28Tonight.
00:00:30Wow.
00:00:31Cheryl drops a bombshell.
00:00:33They're married at first sight.
00:00:35First.
00:00:36Oh look.
00:00:37Sean and Susan.
00:00:38Nick and Shavs.
00:00:40Neighbours.
00:00:41The couples move in together.
00:00:43Look at this.
00:00:44It's the living together part that gets challenging.
00:00:47And it's makeover time.
00:00:49Well it's not coming off, I'll tell you that.
00:00:51Ah!
00:00:53How you going?
00:00:54He's like hot!
00:00:57Plus, the jilted husband returns.
00:01:01What brings Andrew...
00:01:02What's going on?
00:01:04...back into the experiment?
00:01:06It's quite a nice surprise.
00:01:17Today marks the beginning of a brand new chapter for our newlyweds.
00:01:21Squeeze through here.
00:01:22The honeymoon's over.
00:01:26And all of our remaining couples will now be moving into the same apartment complex.
00:01:31But they'll each have their own private suites.
00:01:34Oh look.
00:01:35Andrew, Vanessa.
00:01:36Sean and Susan.
00:01:38Nick and Shavs.
00:01:40Ah!
00:01:41Neighbours.
00:01:42As the experiment now enters the daunting moving in period.
00:01:47Oh, look at this.
00:01:49Oh wow.
00:01:50This is so cute.
00:01:51Oh my God, look at this photo.
00:01:52Oh my God.
00:01:53Stop it.
00:01:54Oh my God.
00:01:55How cute.
00:01:56Oh that's adorable.
00:01:57They look like a good couple.
00:01:58I think I look fat.
00:01:59No, you just look like you're going to eat me with that red lipstick.
00:02:15The moving in part of this experiment is so important.
00:02:20Because it's the first time that you get to see the real day to day routines of one another.
00:02:26And learn to compromise and adjust.
00:02:29I think I might take two sections.
00:02:32Another three.
00:02:33You're lucky you get one section.
00:02:35Let's just say that.
00:02:36Moving in together is relationship at its core level.
00:02:39Jesus.
00:02:40How long are you staying for?
00:02:41A year.
00:02:42The couples will be spending 24-7 together.
00:02:45And this is where we begin to see bad habits exposed.
00:02:49Where's that coconut water?
00:02:51Where would coconut water be?
00:02:54Alright.
00:02:55And the relationship become much more intense.
00:02:58Finally.
00:03:01Now it's feeling like home.
00:03:03We've just moved in.
00:03:04So it's all very, it's all very new.
00:03:07But I think, I think it's nice to have a base.
00:03:09This is our home.
00:03:10Yeah.
00:03:11And you can go shopping.
00:03:12You can do your thing.
00:03:13I can do my thing.
00:03:14And know that I'm going to come home and have dinner cooked ready for me.
00:03:17It's a nice feeling.
00:03:22Susan and myself, you know, we've been getting on great.
00:03:24And to move into this new little house is great.
00:03:27It feels so homely, you know.
00:03:28Yeah, that's pretty, isn't it?
00:03:29Just looking forward to the next few weeks living with Susan
00:03:31and finding out a bit more about each other.
00:03:33Very excited.
00:03:37So overwhelming.
00:03:38It's, um, full on.
00:03:40Um, yeah, it feels a little bit more like this is really happening.
00:03:45You know, it's been feeling like a bit of a holiday till now.
00:03:48And knowing that all the couples are here too.
00:03:51It's kind of exciting, but it's also a little bit kind of daunting.
00:03:56Oh, I'll make, I'll make, I'll bring chickpeas to make homus dips.
00:04:00Yep.
00:04:03You don't even know what I'm talking about.
00:04:04No.
00:04:06Look what I found.
00:04:08Hey.
00:04:09I don't know what they'd be used for, but.
00:04:11Regular, they're a bit big.
00:04:14I'm really excited that we've moved into this beautiful home.
00:04:17Gives you butterflies.
00:04:19Oh, really?
00:04:21Or flatulence.
00:04:22Oh, I'm sorry.
00:04:31After a busy morning of moving in and unpacking,
00:04:34twin sisters Michelle and Sharon
00:04:36finally get some girly one-on-one time.
00:04:39Have you not chosen your colour?
00:04:40No.
00:04:42That one or that one?
00:04:45Ooh, I'm going this one.
00:04:46Right, it's on.
00:04:47This is all one.
00:04:51For Sharon and her husband Nick, their journey has been nothing short of a fairy tale.
00:05:01Morning.
00:05:02Mmm.
00:05:03We've had some really nice lingering moments there.
00:05:10And things heated up on their honeymoon.
00:05:14Fuck, I love kissing you.
00:05:17Kiss the shit out of you.
00:05:18But the loved-up couple faced their first hurdle at the dinner party.
00:05:23Um, are you going to make me a rum and coke or rum and something?
00:05:27What was the hiccup?
00:05:28You know, the excessive drinking.
00:05:30You looked after me so well the next day.
00:05:32But I don't want to do it again.
00:05:33Yeah, the dinner party, you know, there was, I was a little bit concerned about how, you know, how far it went.
00:05:42And he said it wouldn't happen again and it was like a once-off sort of thing.
00:05:45So, yeah, hopefully that is the case.
00:05:46Yeah.
00:05:47You know, I don't want to have to deal with that.
00:05:50If I was in my early 20s, it's probably what you do.
00:05:53But, yeah, that's kind of boyish behaviour in my eyes.
00:05:56Meanwhile, as the girls are away getting pampered, Nick seizes the opportunity as he tries to make amends for his drunken antics.
00:06:06Guy kind of disappeared from the house and I just wanted to surprise Sharon with a bit of jewellery.
00:06:13There you go.
00:06:14At the commitment ceremony, obviously, naughty Nick was out and got scolded for drinking too much, too much wine at the dinner party.
00:06:23But I've learned my lessons all about compromise.
00:06:25I feel like I want to make it up to Sharon.
00:06:27I'm just looking for a bracelet for my wife.
00:06:30It has to be silver.
00:06:31If I get her gold, she'll shoot me.
00:06:33I think she likes rose gold, too.
00:06:35I seriously do love, oh, I seriously, oh, no, no, no.
00:06:41I seriously do like Sharon and I want to spoil the shit out of her.
00:06:46Yeah, that's beautiful.
00:06:47Bit of, like, she loves silver and rose gold.
00:06:49I'll be like, yeah, yeah.
00:06:51Bloody hell.
00:06:52She better be happy after this.
00:06:53Yeah, I'm sure she will.
00:06:54Yeah, she'll be stoked.
00:06:55Happy wife, happy life, right?
00:06:57Yeah.
00:07:00Back at the salon with things looking promising for Sharon, unfortunately for her twin sister, Michelle,
00:07:06she's still searching for that romantic spark.
00:07:09I want to make sure the next person I'm with seriously, it's just amazing.
00:07:13I need a spark.
00:07:15And Michelle is worried that Jessie is becoming too comfortable too quickly in their relationship.
00:07:21This morning I'm rushing to get ready for breakfast.
00:07:24You know, like, you know, ten minutes to get ready.
00:07:26And then Jessie waltzes on him and he pulls in his pants and he, like, sits on the toilet.
00:07:32Like, no.
00:07:33Like, what's going on, mate?
00:07:34No.
00:07:35Hang on.
00:07:36Number one or number two?
00:07:37Number two.
00:07:38You sat down.
00:07:39No.
00:07:40You sat down.
00:07:41You sat down.
00:07:42I'm sure that was really bad.
00:07:43I felt like Jessie was maybe crossing the line a little bit by doing his number twos in
00:07:47front of me.
00:07:48I just can be left behind closed doors, quite literally.
00:07:51Close the door when you're doing a shit, without me in it.
00:07:57On the other side of town, John is coming to terms with the fallout from last night's
00:08:02dramatic commitment ceremony.
00:08:05John, you first.
00:08:06Tell us what you decided.
00:08:08I decided to leave.
00:08:10You're going to leave?
00:08:11Deb, what about you?
00:08:13What's your decision?
00:08:15To stay.
00:08:17Stay.
00:08:18Wow.
00:08:19Last night of the commitment ceremony, the experts asked me to stay and see if we can
00:08:24make things work.
00:08:26It's been a long and sleepless night, and this morning, John's woken to a heartbreaking
00:08:32realisation.
00:08:33I've thought long and hard about everything, and I just don't know everything is going to
00:08:44work so I can't see the point in continuing it.
00:08:49It's never going to be a romance between me and Deb.
00:08:52I think I've reached that conclusion, so there's no, it's pointless going any further.
00:08:59I'm actually very, very disappointed.
00:09:01We maybe got to the friendship stage, but there's no way we're ever going to go further
00:09:06than that, and the whole point of this experiment was to go further than that.
00:09:12When I really, really think about it, I just think those differences between us are too
00:09:19vast.
00:09:20We're just not meant to be, me and Deb.
00:09:25What's next to your fight for the one, John?
00:09:30I don't know.
00:09:31That's a good question.
00:09:33I'll just go back out there.
00:09:36Yeah, see what happens.
00:09:40The search continues.
00:09:44I wish you all the best in the future, and truly hope you find the perfect man for
00:10:02you.
00:10:03Good luck and best wishes, John.
00:10:05It was nice that he said goodbye.
00:10:16I really do hope that he finds the woman of his dreams.
00:10:23Be nice to go home and hopefully find my Polynesian man.
00:10:28What a nice view.
00:10:38For Vanessa and Andy, their marriage has got off to an uncertain start.
00:10:44At the commitment ceremony, the extroverted Vanessa was open about her struggles being
00:10:49paired with the introverted Andy.
00:10:53I just imagined I would be matched with an extrovert.
00:10:56It wasn't what I expected.
00:10:57Like, it can be a bit tiring sometimes.
00:10:59Andy, you need to step into it more.
00:11:02And Vanessa, you need to give him the space.
00:11:05Following the expert's advice, Andy's trying hard to come out of his shell by surprising
00:11:12Vanessa with a special treat.
00:11:14It's a surprise.
00:11:15Ooh, okay.
00:11:17Surprise.
00:11:18Alrighty.
00:11:19Alright.
00:11:20So.
00:11:21What have we got here?
00:11:22These are my mama's award-winning pumpkin scones.
00:11:35Really?
00:11:36Yep.
00:11:37And you know how to make them, obviously.
00:11:39She passed on a recipe to me and I thought I'd make them for you today.
00:11:43Awesome.
00:11:44See if I can impress ya.
00:11:45Andy made some pumpkin scones, which was his mum's recipe, which was really thoughtful.
00:11:51Like, when did you learn to make them?
00:11:53Oh, years ago.
00:11:54Long time ago when I was a kid.
00:11:55Really?
00:11:56Yeah.
00:11:57Awesome.
00:11:58I feel like we've definitely come a long way.
00:12:01I think Andy's being able to become more comfortable around me.
00:12:05Hopefully I've allowed him to be himself and not try and take charge of every situation,
00:12:12which is my natural default.
00:12:13So that's been something for me to be conscious of, to sort of let him do things as well.
00:12:18Because he definitely does do them, it's just in a different timeframe to what I would
00:12:22do them in.
00:12:23For horse racing broadcaster Anthony and part-time model Nadia, their marriage has been steadily
00:12:38building.
00:12:39So much so, that last night the outspoken Anthony made a bold declaration.
00:12:44As far as I'm concerned, Nadia's mine.
00:12:48And we're together.
00:12:50And soon, the conversation turns to Nadia's career path.
00:12:54We've definitely got that common ground, the fact that we've both worked in the media
00:12:57industry before.
00:12:58And although Nadia doesn't at the moment on a full-time basis, we probably should.
00:13:04Need to have a bit more direction, head back down that track I think.
00:13:08That's another conversation to be had.
00:13:11You keep bringing that up actually, I've noticed that.
00:13:18I think you have a very unique set of skills, particularly in presenting and broadcasting,
00:13:26that you're not using on a full-time basis.
00:13:28I know that, but at the same time, you know, moving state and doing it completely solo.
00:13:36And Brisbane's not really a place where you can sort of pursue that industry full-time.
00:13:41I'm not discrediting that.
00:13:44I think, you know, they're all valuable reasons.
00:13:47There's not an excuse.
00:13:48Yeah, it's not an excuse, but like, if the time was right, you know, it's a timing thing too.
00:13:53I just like to see people work to their strengths.
00:13:56You have a certain set of skills that you're not necessarily using.
00:13:59Is that, is that a problem for you?
00:14:04Not at the moment.
00:14:06But lack of direction could be a problem.
00:14:16Good chat.
00:14:21Alright, I'm going to leave you.
00:14:23I'm going to go do some work for a few hours.
00:14:25Okay.
00:14:26And you'll be doing what girls do when they get their hair done.
00:14:29So, leave you to it.
00:14:30Yeah.
00:14:31I'll see you soon.
00:14:32Alright.
00:14:33See ya.
00:14:34Ciao.
00:14:35Yeah.
00:14:46With Anthony gone, Nadia is left to feel the sting of Anthony's blunt choice of words.
00:14:52He did say I had a lack of direction.
00:14:54I'm not sure why he seems to feel that.
00:14:58Like, I can see where it's coming from.
00:14:59I think it's all in the way in which he says it though.
00:15:02Like, I think he needs to maybe just to be a little bit more, um, empathetic.
00:15:08Maybe a little bit more compassionate in his approach.
00:15:11I think it's disappointing.
00:15:17It is disappointing.
00:15:25Sure.
00:15:28It really hit a nerve, didn't it?
00:15:30The sun sets on their first day of the moving in phase, and despite our newlyweds all living in the same building, each couple is celebrating their first night in their own unique way.
00:15:52Andy treats Vanessa to a home-cooked meal.
00:15:55It was my suggestion to make stir-fry tonight, but really Andy was the chef.
00:16:00Do you need me to assist you with anything?
00:16:03No, no, all good.
00:16:04Thanks.
00:16:05Yeah, it was a team effort.
00:16:07Um...
00:16:08Cheers.
00:16:09Cheers.
00:16:10First dinner.
00:16:11The foursome of Sharon and Nick and Michelle and Jessie prepare a Mexican feast.
00:16:18Do they taste good?
00:16:20Uh-huh.
00:16:21Oh, my God.
00:16:22Susan and Sean mark the occasion with a romantic bubble bath.
00:16:27I have a very strong connection with Susan.
00:16:29She's matched so close to what I am, and it is really good.
00:16:32I'm really enjoying it.
00:16:33Cheers.
00:16:35It's really nice to move into this place.
00:16:37I'm completely happy to have Sean by my side.
00:16:40We are very happy in getting along.
00:16:42And I just think it feels like almost like a mini home.
00:16:45So it's a good little practice for us living together.
00:16:49It's a great idea.
00:16:50I love it.
00:16:53While Adelene and Simon's...
00:17:02Go and get your stuff together.
00:17:04Okay.
00:17:07I'm not looking over your shoulder, am I?
00:17:09Just see what you're doing.
00:17:10Weenie is a bit dominant.
00:17:14Yes.
00:17:15Mmm.
00:17:16That's a lot of news.
00:17:18Just...
00:17:19Take it easy.
00:17:20So, um...
00:17:21Yeah.
00:17:22Like, you've...
00:17:23Yeah.
00:17:25I am really trying to calm my bosses side down, but I don't know if that's enough and I don't
00:17:32know if I'm doing the right thing.
00:17:33Okay.
00:17:34First of all, garlic and onion should have been chopped and then put in a pan and kind of
00:17:40lightly fried first.
00:17:42It's hard for me, for example, to see someone chop onions the wrong way and not say something
00:17:50about it.
00:17:51Just trust me.
00:17:52You know the T word?
00:17:53More than happy to just keep on going with the flow for a while, but eventually I'll get
00:17:58jack of it.
00:17:59What T word?
00:18:00Trust.
00:18:01Let me have a crack at it.
00:18:02Okay.
00:18:03Fine.
00:18:04Fine.
00:18:05Fine.
00:18:06Fine.
00:18:07Fine.
00:18:08How'd you go?
00:18:09Good.
00:18:10How are you?
00:18:11Good.
00:18:12How are you?
00:18:13It looks nice.
00:18:15Good today.
00:18:16Yeah, I'm listening.
00:18:17You know how we had that conversation, kind of said that I lacked direction?
00:18:22I didn't say you lacked direction.
00:18:24Is that a problem for you?
00:18:26Not at the moment.
00:18:29But lack of direction could be a problem.
00:18:35To suggest that maybe I don't have direction and that I should be doing something more
00:18:39with my life when we've just met.
00:18:42I'm quite passionate about what I do, you know, work-wise.
00:18:47And I'd love to see you share that same passion.
00:18:51I don't want you to be shallow.
00:18:53Right.
00:18:54And say, well, you don't fit what I want or I don't like you for who you are.
00:19:00Right.
00:19:01Because obviously what I do doesn't define me.
00:19:03No, it doesn't.
00:19:04No, I completely understand.
00:19:07And, yeah, I probably approach things a little differently, but...
00:19:10I don't know.
00:19:11As long as you kind of get that.
00:19:13Do you understand where I was coming from?
00:19:15Yeah, totally.
00:19:16It wasn't from a bad place, Nadia, you know?
00:19:17I know, I know.
00:19:18I totally get that.
00:19:19It's just all in the way in which you speak to me and all in the way in which, you know,
00:19:26this grows.
00:19:27Yeah.
00:19:28I think once I had a chance to explain how I approached things and admitted that, yes,
00:19:32I could have approached things better and I lack a little bit of tact at times, and Nadia knows that,
00:19:37I think she can appreciate that it was coming from a good place and that I only had her best interests at heart.
00:19:44I understand.
00:19:45Yeah.
00:19:46I could have handled it better.
00:19:47That's all good.
00:19:48Apologies.
00:19:49Forgive me?
00:19:50Yeah.
00:19:51After a big day of moving in, it's bedtime for our newlyweds.
00:20:03Night, honey buns.
00:20:06Let me snuggle first.
00:20:11Sorry, you have to start with the snuggles and then I'll move after 15 minutes.
00:20:16Promise.
00:20:17As a new day dawns, relationship expert John Aiken has an appointment with a very special client.
00:20:33Cheryl.
00:20:34Hello.
00:20:35How are you, John?
00:20:36Cheryl and Jonathan have now officially left the experiment after it was revealed that Jonathan was texting Scarlett behind Cheryl's back.
00:20:44And then you swap numbers and you've been talking to each other, like that makes me feel like shit.
00:20:49And I'm so betrayed by you.
00:20:52Cheryl.
00:20:53With her marriage now over, it's time for Cheryl to tell her side of the story.
00:20:59So Cheryl, last time I saw you, a few bombshells were dropped.
00:21:04What came out was that Jonathan had contacted one of the other participants in the experiment.
00:21:11Yes.
00:21:12And that really hurt you deeply.
00:21:14I'm a very loyal person.
00:21:15If you don't want to be with someone, be honest.
00:21:18Um, and to kind of like approach like another wife.
00:21:22I would never do that to someone so I don't want it done to me.
00:21:25Um, I just don't think he was in it as much as I was in it.
00:21:30This is the text between Scarlett and I.
00:21:37We should have been matched.
00:21:39F***.
00:21:41Scarlett and I matched.
00:21:42We would have been cute as shit.
00:21:44I just think that's so betrayal.
00:21:45I think it's, I'm trying to give it my all over here and you're just kind of, it's like a joke.
00:21:50That's how I saw it.
00:21:51You're very black and white when it comes to betrayal, aren't you?
00:21:54Yeah, yes.
00:21:55Tell me a little bit about how it hurt you.
00:21:58Um, just makes me feel like shit.
00:22:03I want to give it a go, but like, there's only so much you can do.
00:22:06Like, I just, I don't see this guy in any way.
00:22:08I don't think he does.
00:22:11In the past, relationships haven't worked because I do get portrayed as someone I'm not.
00:22:16Guys just see me as an image of they just kind of want a one night stand with.
00:22:20I want someone that will love me for what's inside.
00:22:24I may only be 25, but I do want a family before I'm 30.
00:22:28I do want to be that young mum that interacts with their kids.
00:22:31I'm just getting to that stage in my life that I do want children soon.
00:22:36And I do want to share my life with someone.
00:22:38And I think everyone wants to find love.
00:22:41Like I came in to this wanting like something different.
00:22:45And obviously this getting cut short, it's, it is upsetting.
00:22:48I'm devastated it didn't work.
00:22:51Look, it's really been good to sit down and just unpack that whole commitment ceremony with you.
00:22:56And now it's sort of time to sort of leave it there and to let you move forward.
00:23:02Yeah, before I do go, I do want to kind of ask you your opinion on something.
00:23:09I'm single. I've kind of only got one chance of doing this.
00:23:14So it would kind of be silly for me to let this opportunity slide.
00:23:18Next.
00:23:21That's big what you're saying there.
00:23:23The twist that no one saw coming.
00:23:26Open up a can of worms.
00:23:27As the experiment takes an unexpected turn.
00:23:31This is a married at first sight.
00:23:34First.
00:23:35Before I do go, I do want to kind of ask you your opinion on something.
00:23:48I'm single.
00:23:49I've kind of only got one chance of doing this.
00:23:51So it would kind of be silly for me to let this opportunity slide.
00:23:58At the dinner party.
00:24:00Andrew and I did get along really well.
00:24:04Salt and pepper's here.
00:24:06Salt and pepper's here.
00:24:08Stop.
00:24:10But no kind of me being single.
00:24:13He's single.
00:24:14Yeah, Lauren's not coming.
00:24:15She just left.
00:24:17Whoa.
00:24:18She got in a cab and left when I was looking.
00:24:21Yeah, I didn't see her go.
00:24:23Would there be like any way of like, I don't know, maybe experiencing something there or?
00:24:29It's just something I kind of wanted to see what your thoughts were.
00:24:32Wow.
00:24:34Open up a can of worms.
00:24:35Okay, so, yeah, that's big what you're saying there.
00:24:43You put me on the spot.
00:24:45I wasn't expecting that.
00:24:50Look, I won't deny, we as experts certainly saw a connection between you and Andrew at the dinner party.
00:24:58Yeah.
00:25:00No wife snatching her, alright, man?
00:25:01No promises, but yeah, yeah, yeah, I go.
00:25:07I'm like, pick me.
00:25:09Are you attracted to him?
00:25:11No.
00:25:13Jonathan's deep in thought, isn't he?
00:25:16And he's watching Cheryl with Andrew.
00:25:19Stuff.
00:25:21Food.
00:25:22I love food.
00:25:23It seemed very easy between the two of you.
00:25:24Yeah.
00:25:25What did you like about Andrew?
00:25:27I just felt like a connection, like I need that connection straight away.
00:25:31But I just find him very easy to talk to.
00:25:33He wasn't forced, he seems really humble.
00:25:37I just feel like he's just a, yeah, a genuine guy.
00:25:39You know, I'm thinking about it, this is something that has some potential.
00:25:46Obviously any match that we think about, you know, we wouldn't move forward with it unless we really endorsed it.
00:25:53Now both of you have really experienced a betrayal in this experiment.
00:25:57He had the runaway bride and you had the husband that texts, he's trustworthy and he's never cheated on anyone.
00:26:07And that's important to you.
00:26:09He's very emotionally stable.
00:26:11He's a good look.
00:26:13You know, he's a good looking guy.
00:26:15Sounds like my perfect match.
00:26:18Tell me why you two are going to do well.
00:26:21I'm in the same position as he is in.
00:26:24Like we both want this experiment to work.
00:26:27We both want to find love.
00:26:28We want commitment.
00:26:30We don't want to go back into that world and just keep getting nowhere in relationships.
00:26:35There are no guarantees here.
00:26:37A large part of this will depend on Andrew.
00:26:39And if he's keen, then I think our best step is to then get you together for a catch up.
00:26:46It'll be kind of like a first date.
00:26:48How does that sound?
00:26:51Yay, sounds good.
00:26:53This is a married at first sight.
00:26:56First.
00:26:57Yeah.
00:26:59I'm excited.
00:27:01Alright.
00:27:02Okay.
00:27:03We're done.
00:27:04That's kind of exciting.
00:27:05Thank you so much.
00:27:06I'll give you a hug.
00:27:07Good to see you.
00:27:08Thank you so much.
00:27:09And we'll be in touch.
00:27:10Yay, thank you.
00:27:12The great thing about being an expert in this experiment is that there are many unpredictables that come our way.
00:27:17And we have to evolve and adjust accordingly, often very quickly.
00:27:22And in this situation, Andrew and Cheryl is one of those examples where they could be a great match together.
00:27:30We know their science, their testing, we've interviewed them.
00:27:33And while I think about this, I actually do think that this as a match could be very successful, very strong.
00:27:43As the experiment continues to evolve in unexpected ways, for some of our other newlyweds, the living together phase of the experiment is proving to be a challenge.
00:27:55Moving in together signifies a new stage in the relationship.
00:27:59Couples will let their guard down, open up and reveal their normal everyday life.
00:28:02This might reveal some positive habits and perhaps some negative ones.
00:28:07And for Eleni and Simon, after just two days of living together, they are quickly discovering each other's bad habits.
00:28:15No, no, you really just only have to just let it just roll out.
00:28:19Let it roll.
00:28:20Let it roll.
00:28:21Simon and I are fine when we are out and about doing activities, playing balls, dancing, swimming.
00:28:28It's as soon as we are alone, it's the living together part that gets challenging.
00:28:33At last night's dinner, Eleni's backseat cooking tested Simon's patience.
00:28:39Let me have a crack at it.
00:28:41Okay, fine, fine, fine.
00:28:43This is what I'm getting to, is this is the first time I've actually, on a regular basis, had someone telling me how I should be doing this, or how I should be doing that.
00:28:58And I have to admit, it actually starts to get a little bit annoying after all, because relationships prior, I've never actually had people telling me, why don't you try this or why don't you try that all.
00:29:11Well, were you with the same person 24-7, stuck in one room for two weeks?
00:29:17And that is probably also a lot to do with it as well.
00:29:21The most effective way for couples to cope with the transition of moving in together is to have open and honest talking about boundaries, needs and wants, so you can work through this as a team.
00:29:34Well, one thing I can say, which is the definite, is you've been incredibly honest with me from the get-go.
00:29:43I'm not going to knock her one bit, because she is a beautiful person, who has a beautiful soul, and sexy and cute, but you get stuck in a damn rut.
00:29:54And so we've just got to try and jiggle a few things out here and there.
00:30:07Which one, blue one?
00:30:08This one or a blue one?
00:30:09I'll go blue.
00:30:10Blue?
00:30:11With the sun shining, Sharon and Nick head out for a bike ride.
00:30:15Whoo!
00:30:16Everybody just started and I'm puffing away.
00:30:18Yesterday, Sharon expressed her concerns about Nick's drinking.
00:30:23I don't want to have to deal with that.
00:30:24Like, you know, if I was in my early 20s, probably what you do.
00:30:28But, yeah, that's kind of boyish behaviour in my eyes.
00:30:32Soon, the conversation turns to Nick's drinking and his struggles with demons of his past.
00:30:38Obviously, after all that stuff in the past, you've got to keep up that brick wall.
00:30:43What do you mean?
00:30:44Like, with your relationships, with your family?
00:30:46No, no.
00:30:47Look, not really the relationships.
00:30:49It's more...
00:30:50That's why I've been single for four years, but that's the least of my worries.
00:30:54It was more family and mates passing.
00:30:57Like that, that affects me more than women.
00:31:00I've had some tough, tough events in my life.
00:31:03A little while ago, my best mate, Danny, passed away in a motorbike accident.
00:31:09Very, very sad, and I got the phone call and, uh, definitely changed my perspective in life.
00:31:15Through those hard times, I drank more alcohol than anything.
00:31:18That was a big...that's one way of dealing with it.
00:31:22It's, um, numbing the emotion, numbing the pain, I guess.
00:31:25That's what a lot of people will resort to is...
00:31:28Yeah, alcohol.
00:31:30Because I've met someone that's amazing, now...
00:31:33Now Nick's kind of settling down a bit.
00:31:36Yeah.
00:31:37So maybe you're, uh...
00:31:38A good influence.
00:31:39That's why you're a good influence on me.
00:31:40You're communicating this really well.
00:31:41Like, you're processing it, you're figuring it out, and, um, it makes sense.
00:31:47I've had some concerns about Nick, um, you know, the excessive drinking at a dinner party.
00:31:52But Nick's had a tough time.
00:31:54Um, it seems he's lost a really good mate.
00:31:57And he puts up a front.
00:31:59He puts up a wall.
00:32:00I think he's just numbed himself to a lot of the emotions and the pain, and hasn't really felt the hurt.
00:32:09Maybe I boggled all that up.
00:32:11Maybe I'm at a stage now where, um, maybe you're bringing out... bringing the brick wall Nick Furphy down.
00:32:19I think for the past two years, I've had a...had a brick wall up, and I haven't been able to commit emotionally to any partner or any girl.
00:32:28That's why I've been single.
00:32:29Um, I think Sharon's definitely knocking that wall down, and it's, it's, uh...
00:32:35Obviously emotions are gonna come out, but I think I'm gonna welcome it.
00:32:42Next...
00:32:43Something...
00:32:44The couples brace themselves for a date of a different kind.
00:32:47It will test just how willing you are to sacrifice your own wants and needs for your partner.
00:32:53Oh dear.
00:32:54I have no idea as to what we could be doing.
00:32:58And still to come...
00:33:01Oh my God!
00:33:02Is he coming?
00:33:03Is he not?
00:33:04A married at first sight, world first.
00:33:17After a rocky start to their moving in phase, Jesse is taking Michelle out for a day at the zoo.
00:33:26Number one or number two?
00:33:27Number two!
00:33:28He sat down!
00:33:29No!
00:33:30He sat down!
00:33:31And today he's hoping to sweep Michelle off her feet with a secret weapon he's got up his sleeve.
00:33:36Yeah, I'm definitely hoping to show off some of my knowledge that I have about animals.
00:33:42Yeah, let's see.
00:33:51So what's the most intelligent ape?
00:33:54Enlighten me.
00:33:56Chimpanzee.
00:33:57Really?
00:33:58I'm pretty sure it's the second intelligent animal on the planet.
00:34:04I'm not sure.
00:34:05Maybe the dolphin.
00:34:06I'm not sure.
00:34:07I'm really...
00:34:08I can't really remember.
00:34:09I know it's up there.
00:34:10Put it that way.
00:34:11Okay.
00:34:12I think it's the meerkat that eats cobwebs.
00:34:19Cobwebs.
00:34:22Is that jerk?
00:34:23No, not the...
00:34:24No, I'm thinking that's the mongoose.
00:34:25Sorry, that's the mongoose.
00:34:29Do you know why the zebra has black and white stripes?
00:34:32Why?
00:34:33Because lions see black and white, or they have black and white vision.
00:34:39Oh, lovely.
00:34:40Yeah, beautiful.
00:34:42There we have a zebra urinating.
00:34:46Great timing.
00:34:47Jesse's date gets off to an awkward start.
00:34:50On the other side of town, no such worries for Nick.
00:34:55Following his emotional breakthrough earlier this morning,
00:34:58Nick treats Sharon to a picnic in the park.
00:35:01That was nice, that little bike ride.
00:35:04Learned a few things about me.
00:35:06That I did, mister.
00:35:08Emotions.
00:35:09No, it's good.
00:35:10You've got to open it up.
00:35:12I was wanting Nick to eventually open up a little bit more
00:35:16deeper level for me to get to know him.
00:35:17I think he did that today.
00:35:19So I do feel like we've maybe taken a step forward in our relationship.
00:35:24And Nick is about to take another step forward
00:35:27with a few shiny surprises he's prepared earlier.
00:35:30I couldn't help myself.
00:35:31Oh my God, what the hell?
00:35:32So maybe open this one first.
00:35:33Oh my God, it's beautiful.
00:35:34Nick, this is silly.
00:35:35I'm a little bit shaky actually.
00:35:36That is beautiful.
00:35:37Okay, stop.
00:35:38Okay.
00:35:39This is like something else.
00:35:40Just have a little...
00:35:41Oh my God.
00:35:42That's another little...
00:35:43Oh my God.
00:35:44That's freaking awesome.
00:35:45I don't know what you like.
00:35:46Oh my God.
00:35:47I love these.
00:35:48Nick's amazing.
00:35:49He's really thoughtful and very generous.
00:35:51There's another one.
00:35:52There's another one.
00:35:53Oh my God.
00:35:54Oh my God.
00:35:55Oh my God.
00:35:56That's freaking awesome.
00:35:57I don't know what you like.
00:35:58Oh my God.
00:35:59I love these.
00:36:00Nick's...
00:36:01Nick's amazing.
00:36:02He's really thoughtful and very generous.
00:36:05There's another one.
00:36:06There's another one.
00:36:07Oh my God.
00:36:10Oh my God.
00:36:11I don't know.
00:36:13That's very cold.
00:36:17Enjoy.
00:36:18Enjoy.
00:36:19Today's been a big day for us.
00:36:22You know, Nick opening up.
00:36:24Nick giving me jewelry in here.
00:36:26He's bought me two beautiful silver bracelets
00:36:28and a beautiful rose gold necklace.
00:36:32With a heart.
00:36:33And then a heart inside a heart.
00:36:37I'm feeling very loved at the moment actually.
00:36:42I'm like, oh my God.
00:36:43I love it.
00:36:44Today's been an amazing day.
00:36:46Yeah, today started off great and it just got better and better.
00:36:50I can't wait to show Michelle my jewelry, my prezzies and yeah, have a little brag maybe.
00:36:59Meanwhile, back at the zoo.
00:37:05Be nice to actually come here when there's a gig on.
00:37:07A concert of some type.
00:37:09Do you reckon?
00:37:12Yeah.
00:37:15You're a really good conversationist.
00:37:17Nah, sorry.
00:37:18I'm just admiring the animals.
00:37:20Okay.
00:37:21Thank you for my animals.
00:37:27Alright.
00:37:29Shall we?
00:37:30Mmm.
00:37:31It's the third day of the newlyweds living in the same building together.
00:37:46And as dawn breaks on a brand new day.
00:37:50Your morning smoothie is waiting for you.
00:37:52Is it?
00:37:53Yeah.
00:37:54Nadia and Anthony.
00:37:55Anthony!
00:37:56Found something.
00:37:57Woohoo!
00:37:58And Alini and Simon wake up to a special surprise.
00:38:04Simon.
00:38:05Hey.
00:38:07There's something here.
00:38:09The moving in phase has proven a bit of a challenge for both Nadia and Anthony.
00:38:14I didn't say you lack direction.
00:38:16Is that a problem for you?
00:38:17Lack of direction could be a problem.
00:38:21And for Alini and Simon.
00:38:23Let me have a crack at it.
00:38:25Okay.
00:38:26Fine.
00:38:27Fine.
00:38:28Fine.
00:38:29You get stuck in a damn rut.
00:38:30And so we've just got to try and jiggle a few things out here and there.
00:38:33And the experts have now intervened and selected both couples for a unique dating experiment.
00:38:41What is it?
00:38:42Today we're sending the two of you on a date of a very different kind.
00:38:46A surrender date.
00:38:48This is an exercise in letting go, compromising and learning about each other.
00:38:54It's an important part of the experiment designed to help your relationship grow.
00:38:57It will test just how willing you are to sacrifice your own wants and needs for your partner.
00:39:04Oh dear.
00:39:05Nadia will be taking charge today.
00:39:07Alini.
00:39:08You will be taking charge today.
00:39:10Ugh.
00:39:11Mmm.
00:39:12Sorry buddy.
00:39:13As opposed to which friggin' day of that.
00:39:16I haven't had a day off yet.
00:39:19Nadia.
00:39:20You're going to take the lead and design a date that's purely for you.
00:39:23You get to decide where you go, what you do, what you eat, even what you both wear.
00:39:32And everything else in between.
00:39:34Anthony, you'll simply just surrender and say yes to everything.
00:39:39Simon, you'll not have any say in this date whatsoever.
00:39:44You must put your own desires aside and relinquish all control to Alini.
00:39:49Good luck and enjoy John, Mel and Trisha.
00:39:56Do you want to double check that I've read the right thing?
00:40:00If you're cheating, you get to decide where you...
00:40:06Hey, maybe I'm naive but I have no idea.
00:40:10I have no idea as to what we could be doing.
00:40:13But I'm pretty sure I'll be able to come back alive this evening.
00:40:17Moving in together is such a difficult time for most couples.
00:40:21One of the great things with a surrender date is that it gives the person a chance to let go of control and let their partner influence them.
00:40:29As well as it's a great way to learn about the person that's controlling the date.
00:40:32So we're going to try and have fun, okay?
00:40:36We're going to try and have fun.
00:40:39We will have fun.
00:40:41We're going to have fun.
00:40:43Yay!
00:40:45Get us straight, okay?
00:40:47So I'm taking Simon out shopping first.
00:40:50And then we're going to choose an outfit for him and maybe get him to the hairdressers.
00:40:55The first thing that I want to do is put you in some chinos.
00:41:00So it's kind of, they're not jeans, they're not trousers, they're kind of in between.
00:41:04So you can dress them up and dress them down.
00:41:06Physical attraction is very important in a relationship, in a romantic relationship,
00:41:11because otherwise you just have friendship.
00:41:14How do you feel about shorts?
00:41:16Never in a million years will I be wearing something like that.
00:41:19You don't wear anything above the knee?
00:41:21If that's the case, I'll just sign away my genitalia altogether.
00:41:24Jessica, dressing room.
00:41:26Okay. How about you stay here?
00:41:27I can change myself.
00:41:29Oh, I want to see what it looks like.
00:41:31I really want him to put that effort, you know,
00:41:35look like he's actually going on a date.
00:41:38Whoa, look at those legs!
00:41:50Where's the pool party at, girl?
00:41:51Where is the pool party?
00:41:55I really hope that he understands that it's really important to maintain yourself and present yourself in a certain way in front of your partner to get that attraction.
00:42:04I like it!
00:42:07And?
00:42:09The shoes are really uncomfortable.
00:42:11It's just different.
00:42:13Am I going to go back and have a pub lunch with a fella in a rural area dressed like I've just come from the Big Smoke even though I don't actually live there?
00:42:25No, no I'm not.
00:42:27I like that!
00:42:29This feels a bit better.
00:42:31Yes!
00:42:32When you see him dressed up like that, I just go, oh my god, he's so gorgeous, he's so cute.
00:42:37There's definitely a lot more physical attraction.
00:42:39Like if I saw him walk towards me in one of these outfits, I'd be like, hey, who's that guy?
00:42:44Simon, you're going to make me cry if you look any better.
00:42:47No, I reckon that looks great.
00:42:51Yeah?
00:42:52I'm happy.
00:42:54I'm happy you like him.
00:42:58I can see us do more shopping in the future.
00:43:00Oh, I, yeah.
00:43:03After the break.
00:43:05I think our lives are pretty different, like other than I think we're well suited.
00:43:11Yeah.
00:43:12Will a heartbreaking decision for Susan and Sean tear these lovebirds apart?
00:43:16I'm starting to realise that his world is completely different to anything I know.
00:43:23Plus...
00:43:24I'm not, like, getting the treatment or anything like that.
00:43:26Has Simon finally reached his breaking point?
00:43:30There was a lot of resistance.
00:43:31I did expect that.
00:43:32Today, the experts have revealed that we are having a surrender date,
00:43:45which means Nadia picks the date down to what we eat, where we go, what I wear, everything.
00:43:52So, I really have no idea what we're doing.
00:43:55I'm just trying to drive the ship.
00:43:57And as far as I'm concerned, Nadia's mine.
00:44:00And for the dominant Anthony, relinquishing control today sees him out of his comfort zone.
00:44:08As Nadia takes him to a challenging Bikram yoga class.
00:44:13We're going to have so much fun today because I'm in control.
00:44:16And he surrenders to everything I say.
00:44:20Bring your hands and your palms together.
00:44:22Interlock your fingers, release your index fingers and cross your thumbs.
00:44:25Inhale and slowly move the body to the right and to the left several times.
00:44:30Up and over, up and over.
00:44:31Get things going.
00:44:32Just do a couple of those, alright?
00:44:34I had Anthony next to me, huffing and puffing.
00:44:39Oh!
00:44:41God, that hurts.
00:44:42Kick up, kick back, kick up one more time.
00:44:45It was hilarious.
00:44:46I really had to compose myself.
00:44:48Touch your chest on your knees, your face on your legs.
00:44:51Oh, my God.
00:44:52Oh, my God.
00:44:53Oh, my God.
00:44:54I can't do this one.
00:44:58Go away.
00:44:59Grab your heels from the outside.
00:45:01That's not going to happen.
00:45:03That was really hard.
00:45:04That was really intense.
00:45:06I was put into positions I didn't think were possible.
00:45:09Lift up and kick, head up.
00:45:10Look way, way, way back.
00:45:11Kick, kick, kick, kick.
00:45:12Change, lower down.
00:45:14Oh.
00:45:16Oh.
00:45:17I've not been to hell.
00:45:18But that's right next door.
00:45:21Namaste.
00:45:22Namaste.
00:45:23Namago.
00:45:26It's your first Bikram yoga class.
00:45:27I think I could do that again.
00:45:28Really?
00:45:29Yeah, I think I could.
00:45:30It was really hard, but I think I could do that again.
00:45:32Are you serious?
00:45:34You don't know how happy that makes me.
00:45:36He was a trooper.
00:45:37Even if he couldn't get fully into the poses, he still made an effort.
00:45:42And that's all I asked.
00:45:44I did enjoy it and it's important for you.
00:45:46Yeah.
00:45:47And I need to be more open-minded and do those sort of things.
00:45:49And I need someone to push me in that direction to do it.
00:45:52And you're the person that can do that.
00:45:54So if it's important to you, it's important to me.
00:45:56So you would do that?
00:45:57Yeah.
00:45:58I've never, ever, ever had a boyfriend that would ever, ever come to Bikram yoga with me.
00:46:04Yeah, right.
00:46:05Ever.
00:46:06Well, I mean, I've come once, I'd be happy to go again.
00:46:07Oh my God, this is a score.
00:46:11Thanks for coming.
00:46:12You're welcome.
00:46:13I'm all pretty and gross.
00:46:16Yeah, same.
00:46:17Let's go and have a shower.
00:46:18Yeah.
00:46:23So this is the next stop, okay?
00:46:24Stage two of our surrender date.
00:46:27Stage two.
00:46:28I think he doesn't know what's coming yet.
00:46:30But I think he read the letter and he knows that he has to surrender and it's all my shots.
00:46:34Don't be afraid.
00:46:35G'day.
00:46:36Hi, how are you?
00:46:37I think he will be a little bit more open because he knows it's a part of the experiment.
00:46:47How are you?
00:46:48Here.
00:46:49Oh look, I'll be realistic.
00:46:50I don't know what the hell's going on.
00:46:51Give you a new look.
00:46:52Okay.
00:46:53Are you up for that today?
00:46:55Wow.
00:46:56It's not coming off, I'll tell you that.
00:46:58How about we make you a better version of yourself?
00:47:01You've got a gorgeous jawline.
00:47:02Ooh, look at that.
00:47:03The curls are softening you too much.
00:47:04You need to be a bit more masculine.
00:47:07Just trust her.
00:47:08With the haircut, I think it's a little bit of a challenge for Simon, but when I look
00:47:17at Simon, I see a lot of potential and I just want to bring out that.
00:47:23I'm saying let's show off this jawline.
00:47:26Just, just, just.
00:47:27No.
00:47:28Give me a decent trim, but don't go all out like you just did.
00:47:31A trim?
00:47:32What's the point of, you know, trimming this?
00:47:33By trimming it, you're not going to see much difference.
00:47:37Please.
00:47:38It's surrender.
00:47:39It's surrender date, remember?
00:47:42There was a lot of resistance and I did expect that.
00:47:45Simon.
00:47:46Yes, with a smile on your face.
00:47:48If you don't, Simon, if you don't like it, it's hair, it will grow back.
00:47:52And let's just try something different.
00:47:54I know he absolutely hates me changing him and I don't want to do something that makes
00:48:00him feel uncomfortable at the same time.
00:48:02Simon, remember?
00:48:03It's a surrender date.
00:48:05Yes, maybe so.
00:48:06Time for a change.
00:48:07And it's, it's, it's just, just, just trust this one.
00:48:11It's a surrender date.
00:48:12It's a surrender date.
00:48:13You're supposed to just let it happen.
00:48:17Yeah.
00:48:18The honeymoon phase of the experiment might be over, but for our resident cowboy Sean and
00:48:31truck driver Susan, they're going from strength to strength.
00:48:35The things I'm really attracted to about Susan is, you know, like, we can just talk.
00:48:40It's, you know, we're just on the same level.
00:48:42There's a spark in her eye with, with everything.
00:48:44They found me a good guy to hang out with and now moving into our apartment, it feels
00:48:51like a good step.
00:48:52But sooner or later, this loved up couple must address the elephant in the room.
00:49:00With Sean tied down to his rural property in Queensland and Susan based in Perth, distance
00:49:07is proving to be the major obstacle in their relationship.
00:49:11So it's definitely up to me whether this relationship works.
00:49:16He has family commitments where he can't leave where he lives.
00:49:21So we'll chat about it and try and work it out.
00:49:25So we've got a bit of an issue, don't we?
00:49:28We're getting along pretty bloody well.
00:49:33I think it's just what's going to happen at the end.
00:49:38What call it is we have in each other is exactly what we want.
00:49:43And I've never found that with anyone else in my life.
00:49:46It might very much match the same.
00:49:48I'd really like for it to work because we are both suited emotionally and those sorts of
00:49:53things.
00:49:54We're connected very well and match really well.
00:49:56But it's something big we still got to talk about.
00:49:59You come and check out my homestay and I go to your homestay and then we can get a bit
00:50:04of a picture.
00:50:05I'm just not sure if I go hang as wifey at the farm.
00:50:11I'm not sure how my life would be quite similar to how it is now.
00:50:17You don't really catch up with many people because your family is Brisbane or they're like
00:50:23three hour drive away.
00:50:24Yeah.
00:50:25Whereas my family live within about three suburbs of me.
00:50:27Like we're always catching up.
00:50:29Like every second night I'll be with someone.
00:50:32My family are a couple of hours away so that's probably the difference.
00:50:38It's not just hey you want to come over for a drink or you want to come over for dinner
00:50:42or anything like that.
00:50:43Whereas that's what I like about that one.
00:50:45Yeah.
00:50:46I can't say we're ten minutes away.
00:50:49I'm starting to majorly freaking out about the fact that his world is completely different
00:51:01to anything I know.
00:51:03Now that I'm learning more about your lifestyle and hearing how different it is to mine, I'm
00:51:09not sure if I could actually fit into that.
00:51:14I'm completely freaked out to the max that it either works or not because of my decision.
00:51:21It's not his decision.
00:51:22I'd love for it to work because you know as far as I am concerned she's the most matched
00:51:28girl I've ever met.
00:51:29I don't know what's going to happen but I hope it works.
00:51:34Especially because I've never met anyone like him my whole life.
00:51:39Meanwhile back at the salon, Simon has agreed to at least get his hair washed.
00:51:45This laid back fella that people have been talking about is actually starting to get ticked
00:51:49off.
00:51:50No.
00:51:51Don't.
00:51:52Don't.
00:51:53Don't.
00:51:54I don't want him to get upset and once that wall goes up then we're going to struggle.
00:51:58So can I just ask what would you have done had I said off you go?
00:52:02I would have shown off your ears to bring out your jawline, keep a bit of length up top,
00:52:09bringing it all forward, make it more wavy not so curly and make you look a bit more polished
00:52:17looking but in a textual way.
00:52:19Puppy eyes are coming.
00:52:21You're hiding under all your hair, why are you hiding for?
00:52:25Oh I haven't been hiding.
00:52:27I'm just too busy friggin working all the damn time.
00:52:30Look after yourself.
00:52:31You want it, you want it, you want it.
00:52:37Oh let's stuff it.
00:52:40Yes!
00:52:41Oh my god!
00:52:42He's going to be completely new.
00:52:45I am so excited that Simon is actually doing this and getting a haircut.
00:52:50Simon, I'm going to get going now because I'll go and get ready for the next stage and
00:52:54I will leave you in the good hands of Jasmine.
00:52:58See you later.
00:52:59See you.
00:53:00Bye.
00:53:01I can't wait to see the new Simon with the clothes and the new hairstyle.
00:53:05I'm actually really really really looking forward to it and that's why I want to go
00:53:09because I want to be surprised.
00:53:15I'm feeling a bit apprehensive just because what I came thinking was actually I was getting
00:53:22a bloody nail trim for crying out loud.
00:53:24I didn't realise I was getting this done.
00:53:28Shit.
00:53:30You're going to leave a bit on top are you?
00:53:33Of course.
00:53:34I thought stuff it I'll give it a try just as long as it's not overdone and pushed too
00:53:39low and it's too much.
00:53:40Still got length on top to play with.
00:53:43It's too late to go back anyway so I'll just have to wait and see.
00:53:50Alright, I'm done.
00:53:55You ready for your reveal?
00:54:00Tonight's the night where our social experiment enters groundbreaking territory.
00:54:16And as Cheryl prepares for her big date with Andrew, the question remains, will she be dining alone?
00:54:23A large part of this will depend on Andrew obviously.
00:54:27So what I'm going to propose is that I talk to Andrew, see where he stands.
00:54:33Now there are no guarantees here.
00:54:35I don't even know if he's actually going to show up.
00:54:37Like I don't even know where we're going but I've kind of said I'm keen to go to dinner.
00:54:40So I hope he shows up, fingers crossed, because that would just be a disaster.
00:54:44I'm thinking maybe something dressy or something cash.
00:54:49I'm not too sure.
00:54:50Then I do want to look nice but then I don't want to look too overdressed.
00:54:55So much to think about when you're a girl.
00:54:57I don't know.
00:54:59It's been a big week for the foursome of Sharon and Nick and Michelle and Jessie.
00:55:07And this evening, the bonding continues.
00:55:10Well first I'll listen to toilet paper.
00:55:12It's on special.
00:55:13Jessie.
00:55:14Yeah grab that.
00:55:15Hold that.
00:55:16Yeah so we did our shopping today which is really cool.
00:55:18And more importantly we got a lot of toilet paper.
00:55:21Creamy salted caramel with hazelnut.
00:55:23Aww.
00:55:24Yeah grab it, grab it, grab it.
00:55:25We made sure we got our ice cream.
00:55:27It's very important for us as well.
00:55:28We love our ice cream.
00:55:29Okay we're sold.
00:55:30We're done.
00:55:31You're getting really cute on her aren't you Jessie?
00:55:34Yeah I guess you can say I'm getting a bit cute on her but yeah.
00:55:39Yeah I suppose you know that's part of the process you know of like when you start relationships
00:55:44you know you always go through this honeymoon period.
00:55:47But hopefully this isn't just a honeymoon.
00:55:50Hopefully it just keeps going more and more and further and gets further and better.
00:55:54So time will tell.
00:55:56The time might be running out for Jessie after a difficult few days together.
00:56:02It'd be nice to actually come here when there's a gig on.
00:56:04Like a concert of some type.
00:56:06Don't you reckon?
00:56:08Yeah.
00:56:09The pressure of married life is taking its toll on Michelle.
00:56:17Today just sort of hit home to me.
00:56:19It's been a bit of a roller coaster today.
00:56:21You know looking at Shaz and Nick and Shaz is really happy.
00:56:24We've got this awesome foursome thing going on.
00:56:26But then I had a moment where I just I don't know I think it just all hit me.
00:56:32Just told me that he's had a bit of a shift in feelings towards me.
00:56:36Which you know he's open and honest about which is great.
00:56:40I'm still feeling the way I did during the honeymoon period towards the end.
00:56:46Which is I like him and it's going really well.
00:56:50Oh hell.
00:56:51I'm just so tired and over this.
00:56:53It's alright.
00:56:54Oh.
00:56:55It's all good.
00:56:56It's just.
00:56:57Yeah.
00:56:58It's on a safe time.
00:56:59Oh.
00:57:00Ah.
00:57:01Oh you know.
00:57:06I'm highly emotional tonight.
00:57:09Um.
00:57:10Oh.
00:57:12Here we go.
00:57:14Hmm.
00:57:15it's fine it's fine it's fine it's a little bit emotional
00:57:31as far as Jesse goes I can feel with him starting to like move in a bit closer and is communicating
00:57:52his feelings a little bit more I'm just fearing that he could feel more for me that than I feel
00:58:00for him and I just don't want to be that person to break anyone's heart and I'm not saying that I
00:58:06will I could develop feelings really strong feelings for him in the next few weeks I could
00:58:10end up falling in love with him I don't know but going into this experiment there's so much
00:58:17pressure to be the perfect couple and that's you know kind of a little bit scary don't feel the
00:58:24pressure about being a perfect couple so I'll just like be real with the relationship and where
00:58:31it's at and you know where it's going at the end of the day I just feel like I'm gonna be real about
00:58:38about it and you know is is is this is this feeling right for the right reasons or are you trying to
00:58:44make it right because of this scenario do you want to express that to him I think maybe not
00:58:50because if I did that then it might push him away in a negative way I'm not going to talk to Jesse
00:58:58about it I don't think I need to I think it's just a natural progression if I feel things I'll speak
00:59:06to him if I don't I'll just let it be for now you have to let things happen naturally and if it's meant
00:59:12to be it's meant to be if it's not it's not I wouldn't ever thought I'd be married and then
00:59:21divorce and then gone on to date so quickly I hope that he's keen because I don't want to have dinner
00:59:25for one um yeah I'm feeling super nervous though um I yeah I was getting ready not really thinking
00:59:35much of it I just thought it was like another date then I got in the car on the way there and I'm just
00:59:40around the corner and I'm kind of like what am I what am I doing what have I done like I'm excited
00:59:45but yeah I'm getting a little bit nervous now
00:59:47what am I doing um yeah it'll it'll be fun
00:59:57as an expert I ride the ups and downs along the way with these couples and I am really excited to see
01:00:08what happens between Andrew and Cheryl my hope is they're going to fall in love and move forward
01:00:14as a team in this relationship
01:00:16I don't like to get nervous but walking up here and just seeing that no one was here yet it's just
01:00:31me I'm like oh my god is he coming is he not
01:00:35oh my god is he going to show up I just keep like turning around to see if he's there
01:00:47oh my god is he going to show up I just keep like turning around to see if he's there
01:01:08in the back of my mind I don't even know if Andrew's going to come here I haven't even spoken to him
01:01:25about it it's been the experts arranging this so who knows
01:01:30oh my god super relief when I saw him walk in
01:01:48hello thanks for seeing you here
01:01:51what's going on
01:01:52I don't know
01:01:54hey how are you
01:01:55good thanks
01:01:56good to see you
01:01:57good to see you
01:01:58for firefighter Andrew this experiment has been a rollercoaster ride of emotion
01:02:05I had a big smile as soon as I saw her walk down
01:02:07after an initial spark with Lauren
01:02:13the journey quickly turned to heartbreak
01:02:18I turned around and Lauren had vanished she was gone
01:02:21didn't say goodbye didn't say where she was going
01:02:23and that's literally the last I spoke to her
01:02:26this is the first ever for Married at First Sight
01:02:29where the wedding hasn't worked out on the first night
01:02:33I mean what went through you when you turned around and she had done a runner
01:02:37obviously first of all I was wondering what it was
01:02:41about me that made her take off so quick
01:02:44somebody has not liked to look at me that much that they've taken off within hours
01:02:52is that what you felt that something about the way you looked turned her off
01:02:57100%
01:02:58do you take this as a rejection
01:03:01it's a flat out rejection
01:03:03yeah
01:03:05but at the dinner party
01:03:06salt and pepper's here
01:03:07salt and pepper's here
01:03:10heartache soon turned to hope
01:03:13it was a complete shock to get the phone call from John
01:03:16saying that Cheryl had expressed interest in me
01:03:19it was actually quite a pleasant thing considering my previous experience
01:03:23it put a bit of a smile on my face to be honest
01:03:25this feels a little bit special
01:03:27who would have thought hey

01:07:16definitely a different experience
01:07:18than what I had with Jonathan
01:07:19I didn't have that spark there to begin with
01:07:21so it was very forced
01:07:22and kind of unnatural
01:07:23but yeah it's there straight away
01:07:25so I feel like
01:07:26it's going to work out very well
01:07:27tonight's gone great

01:07:31we're really enjoying each other's company
01:07:33I'm a happy man
01:07:34if I had the chance to
01:07:35re-enter this experiment with Cheryl
01:07:37I'd do it now for sure
01:07:39although we didn't initially match Andrew and Cheryl
01:07:42the fact of the matter is
01:07:43they met while being a part of this experiment
01:07:46and we not only endorse
01:07:48but support this match
01:07:50because when you look at both of their qualities individually
01:07:53they really have a good chance of working out
01:07:56well
01:07:57shall we call it a night
01:07:58and I'll be in touch

01:08:42because I haven't seen him yet
01:08:43since he's had his makeover done
01:08:45and I think I'm a lot more nervous
01:08:48than I was on my wedding day
01:08:49oh my god
01:08:51I'm just imagining Simon
01:08:55but I think the first time I see him
01:08:58I'm going to have like maybe teary eyes
01:09:00how you going
01:09:17oh my god
01:09:20oh my god

01:09:37oh my god
01:09:39it's still the same me
01:09:41I know
01:09:42it's still taking a bit to get used to
01:09:46because I have to admit it's just a little bit different out of my comfort zone
01:09:50but it's a definite nice change
01:09:53I love it
01:09:54I'll give you that much

01:10:03I love it
01:10:03I love it
01:10:04I think you might feel a little bit uncomfortable
01:10:06because I'm touching him too much
01:10:08and staring at him too much
01:10:09listen Simon
01:10:12I'm going to be looking at staring at you a lot today
01:10:16so if you feel awkward

01:10:23just let me stare at you today
01:10:26he's like hot
01:10:28I really think Simon looks really hot now
01:10:33Simon's personality is great
01:10:35but I just needed something else
01:10:38like a little bit of some power factor about him
01:10:41and I think this makeover was that power
01:10:44it looks fade at the same time
01:10:46like I said to her
01:10:47don't go thinking that it's just
01:10:48looks is the be all and end all
