00:00:00 Singapore and closer to home as well, our honeymooners have been celebrating their newly
00:00:10 wed status.
00:00:11 Have I told you how good you look today?
00:00:14 It's about time, Jason.
00:00:18 And with only one day of the honeymoon left...
00:00:20 That's one of the most iconic buildings.
00:00:23 They're making the most of every last moment with their new spouse.
00:00:27 How cute is this?
00:00:29 Wow!
00:00:30 Is it dessert or is it...
00:00:31 I don't know.
00:00:32 Cheers to our honeymoon.
00:00:33 I hate your honeymoon.
00:00:34 Oh, this is good.
00:00:42 Some relationships have blossomed.
00:00:44 I mean, it's only been three or four days, but I can see myself falling in love with
00:00:49 you.
00:00:50 I can definitely see myself falling in love with you.
00:00:57 However, in Fiji, Melissa and Josh's views on intimacy have been a cause for conflict.
00:01:08 There's a few things that I would like to get off my chest coming into tonight's dinner.
00:01:14 To us.
00:01:15 To us.
00:01:16 Yesterday, I found out that Josh was lying about our intimacy.
00:01:22 How was your wedding night?
00:01:24 Was sex last night with Josh good?
00:01:26 Yes.
00:01:27 Did any intimacy progress?
00:01:28 No, no intimacy progressed.
00:01:29 Thor does have a big hammer and Thor does not disappoint.
00:01:39 I'm open to taking the time and just seeing when we're both comfortable around that kind
00:01:44 of stuff.
00:01:45 You can say that you shagged me and that we've had sex and that it's okay.
00:01:48 We are both like adults.
00:01:50 I would never phrase it like that.
00:01:52 It's not a problem.
00:01:53 I'm not asking for shots.
00:01:54 I'm not asking for videos.
00:01:55 There's no diary cam of us banging.
00:01:58 It's just that.
00:01:59 Yeah, okay.
00:02:00 Anyway.
00:02:01 Yeah.
00:02:02 Have you got enough salad?
00:02:03 Yeah, honey.
00:02:04 I feel like, okay.
00:02:05 Intimacy for me is such a big deal.
00:02:06 He needs to be open and to be able to speak about things.
00:02:07 So I've got to, I feel like I need to tell him.
00:02:20 I really hope that he understands and takes it on board.
00:02:25 So during this experience together, I don't think I've spoken about my feelings.
00:02:32 Okay.
00:02:33 How are you feeling?
00:02:35 Obviously I'm more open about talking about sex than you.
00:02:39 I mean, I love intimacy.
00:02:41 Yes.
00:02:42 And you know, I'm quite a private person myself.
00:02:45 We are here to talk about our relationship and you know, there is going to be some hard
00:02:50 press questions about are we intimate or not?
00:02:53 You know, this is part of the experiment.
00:02:59 You know, it's great to have these conversations with the experts, but there has to be something
00:03:06 that you do have to keep for yourself.
00:03:10 If you can just understand my point of view, I've been raised to be a gentleman and not
00:03:15 really talk about that stuff.
00:03:17 It's never been something that I've talked about in 40 or nearly 41 years.
00:03:22 So it's a lot for me to talk about that stuff.
00:03:26 Part of the experiment is to talk about intimacy.
00:03:30 So when asked a question, we should be honest.
00:03:34 Yeah.
00:03:35 I'm a private person, especially around intimacy.
00:03:41 And I don't really talk about it in that way, but it's important to Mel.
00:03:47 And I promised myself that I was going to push myself outside of my comfort zone and
00:03:50 give myself to the experiment.
00:03:52 So moving forward, I'm going to do that.
00:03:55 I get it.
00:03:56 I understand that there has to be conversations about that type of stuff.
00:04:02 And if I get asked, I'll just say yes, we enjoy a healthy relationship, which includes
00:04:08 intimacy.
00:04:09 Yeah.
00:04:10 I think our values align there.
00:04:13 I'm so, so relieved that Josh and I have come to a common ground.
00:04:19 We're good now.
00:04:21 And we're going to work it out together.
00:04:26 Yeah.
00:04:27 It's okay to talk about intimacy.
00:04:29 He might not speak about it as much as me, but we're okay.
00:04:35 Come here.
00:04:37 Top of the morning.
00:04:43 Thank you.
00:04:47 Evening.
00:04:50 It's the last morning of the honeymoons.
00:04:56 I can't believe we're leaving.
00:04:57 I know.
00:04:58 I don't want to leave.
00:04:59 Quick couple of days, hey?
00:05:00 Why not?
00:05:01 The newlyweds are packed and travelling.
00:05:02 Are you all right?
00:05:03 Yeah.
00:05:04 Adam is all done.
00:05:07 He's waiting for me.
00:05:10 Honestly, I expected there to be room for me.
00:05:14 There's not even enough room for me.
00:05:16 I thought I'll be able to use my husband's suitcase, surely.
00:05:20 Even though the spark of physical attraction is not there for me.
00:05:24 I can carry your bags.
00:05:26 As the days go on, I do see more and more things that I really ask the experts for in
00:05:32 Leighton.
00:05:33 I'm not going to force something that isn't there, but I'm not 100% closed off to this.
00:05:40 You know it's bad luck to put your shoes on the table.
00:05:42 Is it, actually?
00:05:43 Yeah.
00:05:44 You haven't heard that?
00:05:45 No.
00:05:46 Is that a thing?
00:05:47 Yeah.
00:05:48 What a trip.
00:05:49 What a honeymoon.
00:05:50 I can't believe we're leaving.
00:05:51 I know.
00:05:52 Now I'm right on Sydney.
00:05:53 It's sad, though.
00:05:54 It is sad.
00:05:55 I miss this.
00:05:56 It is.
00:05:57 Bye-bye honeymoon.
00:05:58 Bye-bye Versace.
00:05:59 The honeymoon is over.
00:06:00 And the newlyweds are travelling to hotels in Sydney for the very first dinner party
00:06:09 of the experiment.
00:06:10 Dinner?
00:06:11 Yes, smiley.
00:06:12 Some have used this one-on-one time to forge an incredible bond.
00:06:18 Perfect.
00:06:19 Next stop, where are we going?
00:06:22 Sydney.
00:06:23 But for others, it's driven a wedge between them.
00:06:28 [Music]
00:06:55 In Sydney, the silverware is polished and the table is set for the first dinner party
00:07:03 of 2023.
00:07:06 Here, all our couples will come face-to-face for the first time and marriages will be judged
00:07:12 by the entire group.
00:07:15 Am I getting a steamy head?
00:07:18 It's about to get real steamy.
00:07:20 And before our couples move into their marital homes...
00:07:23 Cheers to the first dinner party.
00:07:25 Let's do this.
00:07:26 ...they are dressing to impress and preparing to put their best foot forward.
00:07:31 I'm really excited to see all the girls again.
00:07:32 Yeah, I can't wait to see the boys.
00:07:33 I can't wait to see who got put together.
00:07:35 Yeah, same.
00:07:36 The first dinner party is a monumental phase of the experiment, as it's the first time
00:07:41 our couples come together as a group.
00:07:43 I wish the best for all of them.
00:07:45 I hope they've actually found their match.
00:07:47 I hope everyone's had a really good week, hey.
00:07:49 Breaking out of their newlywed bubble and into a social environment that opens them
00:07:53 up to outside influence and opinions.
00:07:55 So how are you feeling at times?
00:07:57 I actually, I'm a little bit nervous, not going to lie.
00:08:00 A bit nerdy?
00:08:01 Yeah.
00:08:02 Are you ready?
00:08:03 Yep.
00:08:04 I've got your back.
00:08:05 I've got yours too.
00:08:06 And your front and everywhere else, okay?
00:08:08 How they handle their relationships in this new social setting will be crucial for all
00:08:12 of our couples.
00:08:17 Going into the dinner party tonight, Ronty and I aren't in a good place.
00:08:21 And we're not talking.
00:08:23 There's a couple of things that happened on the honeymoon that I feel like led us down
00:08:28 quite a negative path.
00:08:30 I think when we did, you know, have sex, I just think that it lacked a bit of passion.
00:08:38 We had a lot of chemistry at the start, but it's not there now.
00:08:46 [Sighs]
00:08:47 Like, what do you mean?
00:08:49 You're literally saying to me that you find me so hot and sexy, you look so sexy in active
00:08:53 wear, but I'm not sexually attracted to you.
00:08:55 Yeah.
00:08:57 After everything that happened, she said that she wanted space.
00:09:03 She needed to sort of decompress and then, you know, when the time was right, we could
00:09:07 reconnect, which is kind of why I want to talk to Brontë today, actually.
00:09:10 I feel like we left things on a bit of an awkward note.
00:09:15 I've given Brontë the space that she'd requested.
00:09:17 It's unresolved, and I kind of just want to clear the air.
00:09:20 So, how are you feeling since the honeymoon?
00:09:24 Well, you know, like, we've had some time to just, I guess, be away from that environment.
00:09:32 Yeah, I feel like we ended it on a bad note.
00:09:35 And I did feel like you'd checked out emotionally.
00:09:39 Like, I'm the type of person who, I take things to heart.
00:09:43 And it takes me a while to come back from that.
00:09:46 Um, obviously the honeymoon, how things ended, it was a little bit estranged, to put things
00:09:54 simply.
00:09:55 You know, obviously, it's not a nice feeling when your husband says that he's not sexually
00:10:00 attracted to you.
00:10:01 We need to now build a baseline of, like, a strong friendship.
00:10:06 I really want to get to know you.
00:10:09 And so I think that if we start from there, the only way we can go is up.
00:10:13 You know what I mean?
00:10:14 I know that Harrison isn't the type to dwell on things, but I do.
00:10:22 There's going to be a lot of attention, like, on each couple.
00:10:26 Game plan, each other's backs.
00:10:28 I feel like I'm lacing my boots up to go to war.
00:10:31 Going into tonight, I'm happy to put all these issues aside.
00:10:35 Even though we're just putting a band-aid over things, but I'm hoping that we can eventually
00:10:41 move forward.
00:10:42 As Bronte and Harrison decide to call a truce going into tonight's dinner party, Claire
00:10:50 is also hoping to come to a resolution with her husband, Jesse, after their turbulent
00:10:56 honeymoon ended with a fight and Claire storming off.
00:10:59 Today I really wanted to see Jesse before going into the dinner party.
00:11:03 I haven't seen him since we left our honeymoon because he had a dig at me and my personality.
00:11:10 My list of ics is long.
00:11:13 The first one is the star sign chicks and, like, random comments on everything.
00:11:19 Oh my God, look at the sun.
00:11:21 It just illuminates the sand.
00:11:23 It becomes so bright.
00:11:24 Oh my God, look at the water.
00:11:26 Oh my God, amazing.
00:11:28 Yeah, no, you're not my person.
00:11:32 I'm f***ed up now.
00:11:33 I hope he's had some time to kind of think about what he said and also take accountability
00:11:43 for his behaviour.
00:11:44 I'm kind of expecting some sort of an apology from Jesse on the way he spoke to me at the
00:11:55 honeymoon.
00:11:56 Do you want a drink?
00:11:58 No, I'm okay, thank you.
00:12:00 If I don't get that, yeah, I don't know how I'm going to feel because I'm not really happy.
00:12:05 How you doing?
00:12:08 Yeah, I'm alright.
00:12:10 Yeah.
00:12:11 We haven't seen each other since, obviously, our honeymoon and I'm really disappointed,
00:12:17 like, the way it... I'm really saddened by the way it ended.
00:12:21 Mm.
00:12:22 And I wanted to, I guess, go into the dinner party having seen you.
00:12:28 I didn't want to go into this, like, separate.
00:12:32 I want to go in as a team.
00:12:34 So, yeah, I just wanted to see, like, how you're feeling and where you're at and...
00:12:38 Yeah.
00:12:40 I agree, the honeymoon did end on a disappointing note.
00:12:47 Mm.
00:12:48 And I apologise for saying your star sign crap.
00:12:55 It's okay.
00:12:57 I shouldn't have said that, cos I thought more about that and that's, like,
00:13:01 if that same thing was to happen to me, it's like someone saying,
00:13:05 "Oh, you listened to all that do-do-do-do crap."
00:13:09 Thank you for acknowledging that.
00:13:11 I feel so relieved that Jessie has apologised.
00:13:15 That's all I really need to hear, to be honest.
00:13:18 And I hope now we can move forward.
00:13:20 I want what you want.
00:13:22 I want to be a team.
00:13:23 We want to walk in tonight on the same page.
00:13:26 I want to walk in tonight with you.
00:13:28 Well, hence why I made the first move today, because clearly you weren't going to.
00:13:33 Do you want to talk about that?
00:13:35 Well, yeah, I do, cos I've been doing my head in, thinking this guy's not bothered once.
00:13:41 Yeah.
00:13:42 This might be hard to comprehend.
00:13:46 I don't think there's any other way I can put it than quite bluntly, which is,
00:13:50 I don't...
00:13:52 I don't chase girls.
00:13:56 It's not about chasing, it's about being a grown-ass man and taking accountability for your shitty behaviour.
00:14:03 The fact that you even said that has just, like, annoyed me even more now.
00:14:07 I mean, I did consider coming to see you, and every part of me was just like, "No way."
00:14:15 That makes me feel so stupid for being here right now.
00:14:19 It makes me regret wanting to come here.
00:14:21 It makes me...
00:14:22 Why?
00:14:23 Well, because, like, your attitude is shit.
00:14:25 I don't really think I have anything else to say.
00:14:29 What did I just sit and listen to?
00:14:39 I don't want a bar of him at this point.
00:14:43 Why are you here?
00:14:45 Like, literally, why are you here wasting my time?
00:14:48 You could have had a shitty relationship like this on a dating app.
00:14:51 I don't need a man.
00:14:52 I want one.
00:14:54 I don't need one, and I certainly as sure as shit don't need that kid up there.
00:14:58 I don't chase girls.
00:15:04 Gross.
00:15:06 Gross.
00:15:07 Tonight's the night all our couples come together for their very first dinner party.
00:15:19 Excited for the first dinner party.
00:15:21 So excited.
00:15:22 You know how you get kind of, like, built up, like, anxiety, but it's also excitement, like, first day of school vibes?
00:15:28 Yeah, exactly like that.
00:15:30 We'll probably be the oldest couple, but that's fine.
00:15:33 We'll just tell them at, like, 7.30 that we've got to go.
00:15:36 Married at first sight is a social experiment, which is why the dinner parties are such an integral part of the process.
00:15:44 This is where our couples can decide who they want to spend the night with.
00:15:48 This is where our couples can discuss their relationships with others to gain valuable insights and support.
00:15:53 All gravy, baby.
00:15:54 All gravy, baby.
00:15:56 I'm just keen to see who's, uh, who's matched with who, what it's going to be like.
00:16:01 Your dress is starting to party in this car, by the way, so what am I thinking about now?
00:16:07 How good I look.
00:16:09 Oh, stop it!
00:16:10 You're 100% right, I'm not even lying.
00:16:13 Do you think someone's all walking on their own?
00:16:15 Yeah.
00:16:16 Or are all?
00:16:17 All.
00:16:18 For some couples in crisis, the dinner party can be very confronting,
00:16:25 as a core part of the experiment is allowing yourself to be vulnerable in a group setting.
00:16:30 Any issues that our couples are currently facing will come to the surface, and there is nowhere to hide.
00:16:39 When I tried to make amends with him today, I was faced with kind of a closed off Jesse,
00:16:47 who basically said that I don't chase girls, so it made me feel pretty embarrassed.
00:16:53 But I'm arriving alone tonight because I'm here to give it a go, and as hurt as I am,
00:16:59 I don't hate the guy, so I'm going to go in being the best version of myself.
00:17:06 [Dinner Party]
00:17:08 Well, here we are, the first dinner party, 10th season.
00:17:22 I know.
00:17:23 This is the first opportunity for all of our couples to come together and meet for the first time.
00:17:28 And for us to see what's been going on since they've been married.
00:17:31 Right.
00:17:32 They've just recently gotten back from their honeymoons, and I'm so excited.
00:17:35 I mean, I love this part of the experiment because this is when they weigh up.
00:17:40 How are they going? Are they, you know, getting along well as individuals, as a couple?
00:17:46 And can they get along with the group? So it's fascinating. It's the first time we get to see it.
00:17:50 Good.
00:17:51 Yeah.
00:17:52 So looking forward. Yay!
00:17:54 Let's do it, huh?
00:17:55 Who's our first?
00:18:01 Wow.
00:18:02 Oh, it's Lyndall and Cameron.
00:18:04 First ones.
00:18:05 Oh my God, of course. Again.
00:18:08 Holding hands.
00:18:10 What a great entrance.
00:18:11 I know. Oh my lordy.
00:18:13 Wow. This place is unreal.
00:18:15 We're in the big smoke now. Oh my God.
00:18:17 Do you like a drink?
00:18:18 Yes, I would love a drink.
00:18:19 What would you like?
00:18:20 Um, what have we got?
00:18:22 There's a real sense of ease between them.
00:18:25 Yeah.
00:18:26 Isn't there? Lovely eye contact, physically very comfortable with each other.
00:18:30 Cheers.
00:18:31 We don't always see that early on, do we, from some of the couples?
00:18:35 Nope. They could be our new best friends behind that door.
00:18:37 I reckon.
00:18:38 And just imagine what's going through Lyndall's mind here. She's had this background with cystic fibrosis.
00:18:43 She's recently learned that she's got this incredible medication that has given her this incredible elongated life.
00:18:49 She didn't know she was going to have an opportunity for love, but now she does.
00:18:53 So for her, the stakes are really high.
00:18:56 That's why I'm so pleased to see this lovely, caring, supportive man by her side to basically say, "We're in this together."
00:19:04 We got this.
00:19:08 Let's rip the lid off it.
00:19:10 Let's rip the lid off it.
00:19:11 You're going to go in so cute.
00:19:17 Settle down.
00:19:21 Oh my God.
00:19:24 Bronte!
00:19:26 Bronte and Harrison.
00:19:28 Bronte and Harrison.
00:19:29 Oh my God.
00:19:30 I'm curious about Bronte and Harrison because they saw their friends and immediately went over,
00:19:37 but I couldn't really tell if they walked in together strong and feeling comfortable or if they just kind of ran to their peeps.
00:19:44 That's right.
00:19:45 What was that?
00:19:46 Bronte very quickly separated from you, didn't she?
00:19:48 Yes.
00:19:49 Anything low carb?
00:19:51 I'm just trying to watch my figure because I don't want to let myself go now that I'm married, you know what I mean?
00:19:55 You'd be right.
00:19:56 It's a married life, isn't it?
00:19:57 The wedding was drama.
00:20:01 Drama?
00:20:02 There was so much drama at my wedding.
00:20:03 Shit.
00:20:04 One of my friends literally came to me and she was like, "Bronte, I've got something to tell you."
00:20:08 One of your friends?
00:20:10 One of my friends, yeah.
00:20:11 Apparently a girl who's friends with my friend was talking to him before the show made up all this drama.
00:20:20 Yeah, about how he's going to continue a relationship on the outside.
00:20:23 Like after the show that he's not here for like real genuine reasons.
00:20:28 So obviously I've just been married and I've just found out this about my husband.
00:20:32 What?
00:20:36 Oh.
00:20:37 Not already.
00:20:39 Wait, this is one of your friends?
00:20:42 Not anymore.
00:20:43 So she doesn't trust the information from that friend?
00:20:47 I think that's what she's saying.
00:20:49 I wonder what he's done to reassure her that he's trustworthy.
00:20:54 She's supportive, which is kind of what you really need, eh?
00:20:58 That's what you want.
00:20:59 We haven't seen enough of him in action with Bronte, but does Harrison have some sort of ability to work some issue around so it suits him?
00:21:10 It's alright, onwards and upwards, babe.
00:21:13 I'm glad you're here.
00:21:16 Wow.
00:21:17 Hello.
00:21:20 Hello.
00:21:21 Hey guys.
00:21:22 It's Tani and Oli.
00:21:24 Oh, what a lovely entrance.
00:21:26 Hi.
00:21:27 Hello, hiya Harrison.
00:21:28 How are you doing?
00:21:29 Bronte, nice to see you man.
00:21:30 You too.
00:21:31 This is great to get along with, a whole couple of you.
00:21:33 Everyone looks really good.
00:21:35 No, no, it's beautiful people.
00:21:38 Life has just been getting along so well.
00:21:40 Owen.
00:21:41 So happy.
00:21:42 Leighton and Melinda.
00:21:44 Oh my god.
00:21:46 Oli.
00:21:47 I love his arm behind her, very much signalling to the room, we're together.
00:21:52 I forgot that was boys.
00:21:53 And that's the thing, keep in mind, the women in this group have not met the men of this group.
00:21:59 Sit.
00:22:00 Hey.
00:22:01 Alyssa and Duncan.
00:22:05 Oh, Alyssa and Duncan.
00:22:07 Walking in strong.
00:22:09 Angel.
00:22:11 You get better looking every time I see you.
00:22:14 I don't know about that.
00:22:16 The matches are great, I feel like there's some really good people that are together.
00:22:19 How are you?
00:22:20 Yeah, I'm literally low.
00:22:22 I'm so tired.
00:22:23 Okay.
00:22:24 Like so many people are getting along and that's just really, really nice to hear because...
00:22:28 I think we're good.
00:22:29 I think we're going great.
00:22:30 I think we're in a...
00:22:31 We can't tell on the bathroom.
00:22:33 I'm feeling great.
00:22:34 Yeah.
00:22:35 Couple goals.
00:22:36 Couple goals.
00:22:37 Woo.
00:22:39 You've got a hickey on your neck.
00:22:41 Oh, come on.
00:22:42 No.
00:22:43 It's not a bloody hickey.
00:22:44 I was assaulted by a razor.
00:22:46 And I offered to cover up with some concealer, but...
00:22:48 And I was like, you know what, it's a battle scare.
00:22:50 It's a battle scare.
00:22:52 So we've got super happy, super happy.
00:22:58 Wait, who's all green?
00:23:00 I'm not happy.
00:23:03 I'm more unhappy, but I'm not ecstatic.
00:23:05 It's like, I'm awesome.
00:23:07 It's just been really emotional.
00:23:09 The wedding was beautiful, but I was just saying to Linda, there was so much drama.
00:23:13 It was very dramatic.
00:23:15 It's a lot.
00:23:16 It's just a lot, babe.
00:23:17 Hello.
00:23:20 Hey.
00:23:21 Hey.
00:23:22 Melissa and Josh.
00:23:24 Wow.
00:23:25 What do you think about that entrance?
00:23:28 Well, it was separate at first and then she reached for him, didn't she?
00:23:31 Yes.
00:23:32 Well, he is way shyer than she is.
00:23:34 Her personality is just so much more-- that's part of, you know, they're balancing out.
00:23:39 Yeah.
00:23:40 My hope for them is that she can really bring Josh out of his shell.
00:23:44 Yes.
00:23:45 Are we all happy?
00:23:46 We're happy.
00:23:47 Yeah, I'm just--
00:23:48 Are you?
00:23:49 Yeah.
00:23:50 Oh my God.
00:23:51 I reckon I got jackpot, girls.
00:23:53 Melissa mentioned that the hens that she wanted, like, Gladiator or Thor were--
00:23:58 Come here, look.
00:23:59 Yeah.
00:24:00 And I want to call Josh Thor.
00:24:03 Oh, I just went like this, so just like, slow down.
00:24:06 But he does look like he could pick her up.
00:24:10 Hey.
00:24:12 Yeah.
00:24:13 Hi.
00:24:14 Hi.
00:24:15 Caitlin and Shannon.
00:24:18 Big smiles.
00:24:19 Come around here, big Josh.
00:24:22 How are you?
00:24:23 How are you?
00:24:24 I think Shannon's a lover of the bro.
00:24:27 Yes.
00:24:28 Hey.
00:24:29 You happy?
00:24:30 Yeah, so stoked, man.
00:24:31 So you're loving it.
00:24:33 Probably the hardest thing for me would have been--
00:24:36 I actually want to tell the bitches this is--
00:24:38 She's got cystic fibrosis.
00:24:40 Wait, this is serious.
00:24:41 Wait, wait, wait.
00:24:42 So she's been in chemo-- sorry, you have to repeat yourself, but I didn't hear it.
00:24:44 Oh, Lindell's-- she's got cystic fibrosis.
00:24:46 Oh, wow.
00:24:47 So, like, I've had, like, mates, good mates, and they lost their partners because of it,
00:24:50 which threw a curveball at me because--
00:24:52 Oh, so you're aware?
00:24:53 You're aware of that?
00:24:54 That's a curveball, man.
00:24:59 Yeah, but she's on this new drug, which has boosted everything back up.
00:25:03 These drugs, and they really helped her out.
00:25:05 Her lung capacity's back to, like, 90%, 95%, which is awesome.
00:25:09 She's probably got better lungs than me.
00:25:10 Oh, mate, a scraper.
00:25:12 You got a good support network here, mate.
00:25:14 What I love about the group right now is that they're just sitting with it.
00:25:18 They are.
00:25:19 And being supportive of him.
00:25:20 As grown-ups.
00:25:21 Yeah.
00:25:22 They match you guys for a reason.
00:25:23 Yeah.
00:25:24 That's probably been the biggest issue we've had.
00:25:26 Apart from that, I get back scratches, cup of tea, you know, cup of tea.
00:25:29 Oh, my goodness.
00:25:33 Yeah, it's good.
00:25:34 Happy?
00:25:35 Happy.
00:25:36 Yeah.
00:25:37 Yeah, wedding.
00:25:38 Yeah.
00:25:39 You?
00:25:40 It was fine.
00:25:41 Yeah.
00:25:42 I'm feeling nervous.
00:25:52 Didn't think I would, but, like, as it's getting close, I am.
00:25:55 It's sad because it would have been really beautiful to have him, like,
00:25:59 yeah, right here, holding my hand.
00:26:03 And instead, I feel like I'm just going to be like,
00:26:06 "What's going on? Why are you on your own?"
00:26:08 And I don't want to throw him under the bus.
00:26:10 So, yeah, it really sucks.
00:26:15 I hope that someone doesn't move in without someone that's going to be really shitty.
00:26:23 You know, because we're all on Cloud 9, right?
00:26:25 We're all working out, right?
00:26:27 Who do you reckon is walking in next?
00:26:29 Do you reckon everyone's going to walk in?
00:26:30 Do you reckon there's going to be anyone who walks in by himself?
00:26:37 Oh, I was wondering that.
00:26:39 Oh, hell no.
00:26:43 Oh, hi.
00:26:44 Hi.
00:26:45 Oh, no.
00:26:46 What?
00:26:47 Hey, hi.
00:26:48 What?
00:26:49 Oh, what's happened?
00:26:50 Everyone's walking in.
00:26:52 Oh.
00:26:53 Mmm.
00:26:54 Claire's alone.
00:26:55 Claire's coming soon.
00:26:56 Where is Jesse?
00:26:58 Coming up...
00:27:02 I don't want to put you guys on the spot.
00:27:03 No, I do.
00:27:04 Dinner is served.
00:27:06 Oh, kill me.
00:27:07 Kill my ass.
00:27:08 We want to hear what's going on, bro.
00:27:10 She's a loud person, right?
00:27:11 And I said...
00:27:12 Shush.
00:27:13 Can you shush?
00:27:14 Oh, my God.
00:27:16 Claire's always talking, right?
00:27:18 Always talking.
00:27:19 Always commenting.
00:27:20 Always, always, always.
00:27:22 Hectic.
00:27:23 And later...
00:27:24 I was dating multiple people before coming onto this show.
00:27:26 Oh, okay.
00:27:27 So, what are you doing here?
00:27:29 Um...
00:27:30 Melinda turns the table on Harrison.
00:27:32 I want to find love.
00:27:33 Do you?
00:27:34 Melinda's absolutely backed him into a corner.
00:27:37 I call bullshit.
00:27:40 [♪♪♪]
00:27:42 [GASPS]
00:27:51 Oh, no.
00:27:52 [GASPS]
00:27:53 [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
00:27:56 Oh, what's happening?
00:27:58 Oh.
00:27:59 Oh, Claire's coming soon.
00:28:01 Where is Jesse?
00:28:02 Do you want a drink?
00:28:03 Oh, my God, my heart's racing.
00:28:05 There's no really other way to explain it.
00:28:07 If you're walking in solo, something has gone horribly wrong.
00:28:10 It speaks volumes, doesn't it?
00:28:11 Hi.
00:28:12 Hi.
00:28:13 Greek goddess.
00:28:14 I am freaking out.
00:28:15 Okay.
00:28:16 Do you want to sit down?
00:28:17 Breathe up.
00:28:18 Yeah, let's just, yeah.
00:28:19 So, I'm sure you obviously want to know.
00:28:22 The wedding day was great.
00:28:24 Okay.
00:28:25 We vibed.
00:28:26 It was emotional.
00:28:27 We got along.
00:28:28 We laughed.
00:28:29 And then it kind of started, I guess, at the airport,
00:28:33 going to our honeymoon.
00:28:35 We were in the bookshop, and we were having such a laugh.
00:28:38 We were talking with the titles of the books
00:28:40 and saying funny sentences and laughing.
00:28:42 And then he's like, "Can you shush?
00:28:44 You're really loud."
00:28:45 And I was like, "What?"
00:28:48 He shushed her?
00:28:49 He shushed her.
00:28:50 Mm-hmm.
00:28:52 Bye, Jesse.
00:28:54 We had the honeymoon honesty box,
00:28:56 and he started to mock my voice.
00:28:58 And be like, "Whoa."
00:29:00 Yeah, he's like, "Oh, my God, look at the whales.
00:29:02 "Oh, my God, look at the ocean.
00:29:03 "Oh, my God, look at the sunset."
00:29:04 That's not fun.
00:29:05 He did not come and speak to me,
00:29:07 not even as a human, to say, like, "Are you okay?"
00:29:10 If it's you that's upset, not him,
00:29:13 why would he not want to--
00:29:14 Well, I didn't know this until today,
00:29:16 but he basically said, "Wow, I don't chase girls."
00:29:20 [gasps]
00:29:22 Wow.
00:29:23 That is a bad look.
00:29:25 Incredibly disappointing from Jesse.
00:29:28 Yeah.
00:29:29 Yeah, a little bit low-key freaking out.
00:29:31 Like, I didn't know if it was gonna be here.
00:29:33 Breathe, breathe.
00:29:34 Claire is such a strong, beautiful person,
00:29:39 and she's trying, she's showing up.
00:29:42 I just want the best for everybody,
00:29:45 and seeing her like this, it makes me really sad.
00:29:49 Anyway, I'm so sorry.
00:29:51 I'm so sorry.
00:29:53 Hey, hey.
00:29:54 [all cheering]
00:29:56 Sorry we're late.
00:29:59 Sandy and Daniel, how beautiful are they?
00:30:02 Oh, huge smiles, great entrance.
00:30:06 How are you, man?
00:30:08 What's happening, man?
00:30:09 Big energy boost.
00:30:10 Yeah.
00:30:11 This is going to another level,
00:30:12 this whole atmosphere.
00:30:16 Hello!
00:30:18 Hello, Claire.
00:30:20 Janelle and Adam.
00:30:22 It's Azzy.
00:30:23 Oh, my God, this is crazy.
00:30:25 What's up, man?
00:30:26 Very confident with all sorts of flow.
00:30:29 Did you see these two?
00:30:31 Yeah, I saw them.
00:30:32 Cool.
00:30:33 You know.
00:30:34 Introduce me to the boys.
00:30:35 Yeah, come on, come on.
00:30:36 It's funky.
00:30:40 Everyone here is pretty, like, not pretty, really happy.
00:30:44 Yeah.
00:30:45 Like, they knew, like, instantly,
00:30:46 they think they found their one.
00:30:47 Not everyone's here yet.
00:30:48 There's one more.
00:30:49 One more, Jesse.
00:30:50 Where is Jesse?
00:30:51 I know he's gonna come, mate.
00:30:52 Where is Jesse?
00:31:00 I'm worried about walking in by myself.
00:31:03 I wish I was walking in with Claire.
00:31:06 Actually, he's against the door.
00:31:07 Like, he's against the door, like, oh.
00:31:10 In the back of everyone's mind, they're gonna be like,
00:31:12 "He's a jerk.
00:31:13 He's done something wrong."
00:31:15 I think I'm walking into a losing scenario.
00:31:25 Hey!
00:31:26 Hey!
00:31:29 Jesse is here.
00:31:30 He's Jesse.
00:31:31 Jesse.
00:31:32 What's up, you beautiful man?
00:31:33 How are you doing?
00:31:34 Good to see you.
00:31:35 Looking dapper, mate.
00:31:36 Hi.
00:31:37 Hey, hey.
00:31:38 I'll let him say hi to you.
00:31:39 Yeah.
00:31:40 Hey.
00:31:41 Am I the last guy?
00:31:42 Nice to meet you, Jesse.
00:31:43 Love the hair.
00:31:44 Iron vibes.
00:31:45 I was like, yeah, Johnny Depp.
00:31:46 Yeah, yeah.
00:31:47 Oh, cool, iron vibes.
00:31:48 I'm what you get when you order Johnny Depp off Wish.
00:31:52 I already, like, I already go after him.
00:31:55 I'm like, "Hi, you okay?"
00:31:57 No, wait for him to come to you.
00:31:59 I can't wait for Jesse to come to you.
00:32:01 Wait for him to come to you.
00:32:03 My heart was racing.
00:32:04 Yeah, I don't really know what to do right now
00:32:06 because he won't look for me across the room.
00:32:08 He won't make eye contact with me
00:32:10 or show me that he'd seen me.
00:32:12 Which one's your partner?
00:32:13 I haven't even seen everyone.
00:32:16 Her name's Claire.
00:32:18 But I'm not surprised because Jesse doesn't chase girls.
00:32:25 Should I get him a beer?
00:32:27 Invite him to a beer?
00:32:29 You're welcome.
00:32:31 Yeah, yeah.
00:32:32 Yeah, okay.
00:32:33 I do.
00:32:34 Here's Claire making the effort,
00:32:36 getting him a beer, extending the olive branch.
00:32:40 Yeah.
00:32:41 Is it gonna work?
00:32:43 We can go over together.
00:32:45 You can give him a beer.
00:32:46 I'll say we got you a beer.
00:32:47 I'll say we got a beer.
00:32:48 Okay, ready?
00:32:50 I love you and I am proud of you for chasing girls.
00:32:53 And now I'm going to him again.
00:32:55 Do you want me to do it?
00:32:56 No.
00:32:57 You should face it and you can walk away
00:32:59 knowing that you did what you could, okay?
00:33:01 [♪♪♪]
00:33:11 Thank you.
00:33:12 You're welcome. How are you?
00:33:13 Yeah, good, how are you?
00:33:14 It's a little bit warm, so.
00:33:15 [♪♪♪]
00:33:20 Do you guys want a minute?
00:33:22 Um, I don't--
00:33:25 No?
00:33:26 No? Okay.
00:33:27 Yeah, we're good.
00:33:28 [♪♪♪]
00:33:31 Oh, no, the poor thing.
00:33:33 He seems very awkward.
00:33:35 And dismissive.
00:33:37 I think I'm-- am I the last one?
00:33:39 Yeah, you are. Yeah.
00:33:41 [♪♪♪]
00:33:43 Good to finally be here.
00:33:45 [♪♪♪]
00:33:48 I chase him again.
00:33:50 [♪♪♪]
00:33:54 But I just want nothing, like--
00:33:56 [♪♪♪]
00:34:10 Oh, I just feel really stupid.
00:34:12 [♪♪♪]
00:34:16 Oh.
00:34:18 [♪♪♪]
00:34:23 Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is served.
00:34:25 Whoo!
00:34:26 Yeah.
00:34:27 [♪♪♪]
00:34:35 [♪♪♪]
00:34:41 Oh, my God, I can't wait.
00:34:43 I'm very excited.
00:34:44 I'm bloody good.
00:34:45 I'm one of the troublemakers down here.
00:34:48 I'm so pumped.
00:34:49 All right, here we go.
00:34:51 First dinner party for the year.
00:34:53 Here they come.
00:34:54 It's gonna be super interesting.
00:34:56 Hello.
00:34:57 Oh, this is gonna be fun.
00:34:59 This is good.
00:35:00 Good bunch.
00:35:01 They've sort of set the table.
00:35:03 You know, they've given us an idea of where some of the cracks are,
00:35:06 and I think now we're going to see red flags for some of them.
00:35:10 Oh, thanks.
00:35:11 Okay.
00:35:12 That's gorgeous.
00:35:13 I'm really keen to see how this tension that's brewing
00:35:16 between Claire and Jessie is going to continue tonight.
00:35:19 Of course, we've seen her make the advance toward him.
00:35:21 She brought in the beer across, and he was pretty cold by response.
00:35:25 So what's going to happen here?
00:35:26 Is he going to open up, have the conversation with her?
00:35:29 Where's it going to go?
00:35:30 How good a drink.
00:35:32 Cheers, right?
00:35:33 To the first dinner party.
00:35:34 [indistinct chatter]
00:35:39 I mean, you could think that Claire and Jessie were at two
00:35:41 completely different tables tonight.
00:35:43 Yeah.
00:35:44 There is zero interaction.
00:35:46 There is absolutely no acknowledgement that either of them
00:35:49 are sitting next to each other.
00:35:51 It's incredible.
00:35:52 They've completely frozen each other out.
00:35:54 [indistinct chatter]
00:36:00 Get into it, Harry.
00:36:01 [indistinct chatter]
00:36:08 I'm going to eat so fast.
00:36:09 I'm so hungry.
00:36:10 Oh, my gosh.
00:36:11 Is that a whole bowl of butter?
00:36:13 [indistinct chatter]
00:36:16 Oh, pumpkin, stop it.
00:36:17 That was on your list.
00:36:18 Oh, kill me.
00:36:19 Kill my ass.
00:36:21 Chicken?
00:36:22 There's two pieces left in that.
00:36:24 Yes, of course.
00:36:25 Let me get you one.
00:36:26 I'm going into this scenario unequipped, mentally,
00:36:30 to deal with the onslaught of bullshit
00:36:36 that I anticipate I will receive.
00:36:40 [indistinct chatter]
00:36:44 Baby, do you care?
00:36:46 I can tell you're not yourself.
00:36:48 He's giving me nothing.
00:36:50 [indistinct chatter]
00:36:57 Really?
00:36:58 I thought Jessie was going to offer Claire some food then,
00:37:01 and he didn't.
00:37:03 You're here to build a connection.
00:37:05 Like, get the f--- in first.
00:37:07 Like, what are you doing?
00:37:09 Just watch, just watch.
00:37:11 Oh, trust me, I'm seeing.
00:37:13 [indistinct chatter]
00:37:22 It just sounds like he's just not comfortable in himself.
00:37:27 Claire is, like,
00:37:31 trying to amass, you know, teammates.
00:37:36 I went to see him today, and I was like--
00:37:38 What do you want?
00:37:39 Like, I want to walk in with you,
00:37:40 and he's like, yeah, I don't chase girls.
00:37:42 Instead of saying, thanks for coming.
00:37:43 Thanks.
00:37:46 Well, I mean, it is, Claire's always talking, right?
00:37:49 But I'm not going to dump that on the table
00:37:54 and be like, oh, my God, Claire,
00:37:57 always talking, always commenting.
00:38:02 I'm not going to do that.
00:38:04 Claire's happy to do that with me.
00:38:06 [indistinct chatter]
00:38:14 How's things going, then?
00:38:18 Yeah, all right.
00:38:23 You reckon? 'Cause I reckon they're terrible.
00:38:27 Yeah, interesting.
00:38:31 How do you really feel?
00:38:32 What's going on in your head?
00:38:35 I don't want to put you guys on the spot.
00:38:37 No, I do.
00:38:39 Oh, thank you.
00:38:42 Honestly, you know, I'm just trying to pull Claire out of the bus.
00:38:46 How are you feeling?
00:38:52 Um, I'm feeling like I can accept
00:38:57 that we're not in the best place,
00:39:00 but that we can still go ahead and have an okay night.
00:39:06 That's how I feel.
00:39:08 Is that the first time you told Claire that?
00:39:10 I'm pretty sure I said that to Claire today.
00:39:13 Yeah.
00:39:14 You did, but you also said that you don't chase girls.
00:39:19 [indistinct chatter]
00:39:24 And that you don't like my loudness
00:39:28 and who I pretty much am as a person,
00:39:32 'cause you're not into people like me.
00:39:36 So it's hard for me to accept that you even like me, really.
00:39:45 He seems completely detached.
00:39:47 Totally detached.
00:39:48 I got told that my totality is over the top.
00:39:54 I got told that I am too strong, confident, independent for him,
00:39:58 and he can't bring to the table the things
00:40:00 that he wants to bring to the table
00:40:02 because I already have them, and so then he would feel like,
00:40:06 I believe you used the word, was a pussy or needy.
00:40:13 And then that was that.
00:40:15 And I've kind of been face-given nothing since.
00:40:20 My first thing when I'm under pressure is to freeze.
00:40:24 [sobbing]
00:40:25 Too much pressure.
00:40:26 Cannot deal, cannot compute.
00:40:29 Must freeze.
00:40:31 Babe.
00:40:37 What do you think, then, Jersey Hammers?
00:40:39 Your turn to speak.
00:40:41 What do you--yeah.
00:40:42 Without feeling, like, attacked.
00:40:45 Yeah, Jesse, we're not here to--
00:40:46 we want to hear what's going on, bro.
00:40:48 Here's your chance, Jesse, isn't it?
00:40:50 I mean, come on.
00:40:51 You're in a situation where--
00:40:53 This is your chance.
00:40:54 You can actually stand up for the relationship here.
00:40:56 Yeah.
00:41:08 Like, how do I wiggle myself out of this one?
00:41:11 What do you think, then, Jersey Hammers?
00:41:21 Your turn to speak.
00:41:23 What do you--yeah.
00:41:24 Without feeling, like, attacked.
00:41:26 Yeah, Jesse, we're not here to--
00:41:27 we want to hear what's going on, bro.
00:41:31 No one's going to judge.
00:41:32 Just have your voice.
00:41:35 Well, the wedding was amazing.
00:41:40 It was really, really good.
00:41:42 And I think the first point for me where I knew that--
00:41:49 you know, this was--
00:41:50 I mean, I'm about to enter challenging territory here.
00:41:53 When we were in the airport, about to jump on the plane.
00:42:01 And we were in a bookstore.
00:42:03 We were making jokes about the books.
00:42:04 It was great.
00:42:05 It was funny.
00:42:07 And I noticed that Claire, as far as I'm concerned,
00:42:11 was talking pretty loudly.
00:42:13 And I said--
00:42:14 Shush.
00:42:15 Can you shush?
00:42:16 Shit.
00:42:20 Like, what do you mean by her loudness?
00:42:27 Like, that's just who she is.
00:42:32 Right now, I'm noticing who's my enemy and who is on my side.
00:42:36 Let's hear your story, no commentary.
00:42:39 Keep going.
00:42:40 Brontë is 100% the enemy.
00:42:47 I would rather have a date with my toaster in the bathtub
00:42:55 than have to listen to her speak.
00:43:00 So then we went onto the plane.
00:43:05 And once again-- and we were having a great conversation.
00:43:07 It was going fine.
00:43:08 And I just knew the row in front, the row behind,
00:43:13 and probably two rows in front and the second row behind,
00:43:17 there is no way that they could not hear what Claire was saying.
00:43:22 She's-- Claire's just-- she's a loud person, right?
00:43:25 And I'm not attacking you.
00:43:26 That's just-- that's who you are.
00:43:27 I'm loud.
00:43:28 Yeah.
00:43:29 I am the way I am.
00:43:30 I'm not drawn to loud people, ostentatious, gregarious people.
00:43:34 I just-- you know, it's a bit too much for me.
00:43:36 And then-- and I don't want to keep telling Claire to reel it in
00:43:42 because I don't want to do that to you.
00:43:44 And so it's like I feel like I'm--
00:43:49 I'm just like going more and more inside my box here
00:43:53 and just being reserved and withdrawing
00:43:56 because that's absolutely what I did.
00:43:58 And-- and I guess if we just jump from there to where we are,
00:44:05 I mean, that's essentially where we still are.
00:44:08 This is about Jesse's fear, you know, that is--
00:44:16 that she's triggering in him.
00:44:18 He's really threatened by this really, you know,
00:44:21 well-developed, accomplished woman.
00:44:24 I think we really do have our work cut out for us here.
00:44:28 I think this is his pattern.
00:44:30 When you have an awkward situation,
00:44:32 I think you're going to get a guy that retreats.
00:44:35 And she's left to kind of try and chase and understand it.
00:44:40 So there's three girls and then my brother is the youngest.
00:44:48 Yeah.
00:44:49 But I was the oldest. I was the poster child.
00:44:51 I never did anything wrong.
00:44:53 And what do you do?
00:44:54 So I'm actually an oral health therapist,
00:44:56 which is a little different.
00:44:57 So an oral health therapist.
00:44:58 I thought you said old hip therapist.
00:45:00 And I was like, okay, so you've got old hips.
00:45:02 Come see Sandy.
00:45:03 Come see me.
00:45:04 Teeth and hips, I'm you.
00:45:05 Not an old hip therapist.
00:45:07 No, oral.
00:45:08 Oral.
00:45:09 Therapist.
00:45:10 Oh, okay.
00:45:11 So I can treat children, like fillings, checkups, all of that stuff.
00:45:13 I just thought you said treat children.
00:45:14 Am I not here?
00:45:15 F*** now.
00:45:16 I need to swallow my food before I talk.
00:45:21 How are things going with you guys?
00:45:23 Layton and me are like looking in a mirror.
00:45:25 We're like the same person.
00:45:27 And everything I ask the experts for is like,
00:45:30 but the only thing that is lacking for me was like that initial connection
00:45:34 or that initial attraction.
00:45:36 Hey Mel, from the outside opinion, like you're beautiful.
00:45:39 He's handsome. I don't get it.
00:45:41 I don't understand.
00:45:42 Really?
00:45:43 Yeah.
00:45:44 Brace yourself, Mel. Here we go.
00:45:47 At the hen's party, me and Melissa, we clashed a lot
00:45:50 with our like opinions and values and views.
00:45:53 I'm going to bang my husband on the first night.
00:45:56 A thousand percent.
00:45:57 Are you?
00:45:58 I'm not?
00:45:59 Probably not.
00:46:00 Wow.
00:46:01 Are you serious?
00:46:02 You're really not going to have sex on your first night of being married to someone?
00:46:06 No, I don't think so.
00:46:07 Yeah, he's, yeah.
00:46:10 Mel, are you attracted to him?
00:46:12 I don't have a physical attraction.
00:46:16 Hey, you know what?
00:46:18 Remember when we first met?
00:46:19 I remember.
00:46:20 Intimacy is huge for me.
00:46:22 And what are you conservative about?
00:46:24 And what are the walls that you're not letting down?
00:46:27 Not my walls.
00:46:28 Maybe let a few walls down.
00:46:29 Just be open.
00:46:30 I don't know, you might be very surprised.
00:46:32 Your intimacy is huge.
00:46:34 And it makes people grow fond of you.
00:46:36 But you're going to have to navigate that one on your own time watch.
00:46:40 And there is no time watch.
00:46:41 Yeah, that's it.
00:46:42 I'm not going to remind myself.
00:46:43 That's it.
00:46:44 Just because Betty would do it on the first night with him
00:46:47 and Beryl doesn't, it doesn't matter.
00:46:49 You know, like, I don't know.
00:46:51 I'm not going to do it.
00:46:52 She actually did give some sound advice.
00:46:57 Just don't hand it in to him.
00:46:58 I love you.
00:46:59 Give it time.
00:47:00 Attraction can grow.
00:47:01 Connection can grow.
00:47:02 And get like close enough to see if Leighton and I can ignite the spark.
00:47:08 You might surprise your mate.
00:47:11 You might blow your mind.
00:47:12 What did he tell you?
00:47:14 What's happening?
00:47:15 Nothing.
00:47:16 [laughter]
00:47:18 Do you want to hear about our wedding?
00:47:25 Yeah.
00:47:27 One of Bronte's friends got a message from a girl I was seeing
00:47:30 like before coming into this.
00:47:32 And this girl was essentially jealous that I was coming onto the show
00:47:36 and jealous of the fact that I was marrying Bronte.
00:47:39 And essentially made up this story about me
00:47:42 that we were going to be in a relationship.
00:47:44 She was waiting for me on the outside.
00:47:46 Wait, what?
00:47:48 At our wedding.
00:47:49 Someone tried to ruin our wedding.
00:47:51 The whole Harrison and Bronte situation,
00:47:54 I didn't get a chance to hear what happened.
00:47:57 So essentially tried to derail our wedding
00:48:00 via one of Bronte's friends as proxy.
00:48:03 I thought there was a bit of bullshit going on.
00:48:07 Like we don't know the whole truth.
00:48:09 Bronte, she's a beautiful person.
00:48:12 I can see Bronte is not in a good place.
00:48:15 I don't know what is going on.
00:48:18 Yet Harrison has a lot of explaining to do.
00:48:21 No secrets, no bullshit.
00:48:23 I'm going to speak up.
00:48:25 [bell ringing]
00:48:26 I'm going to start it.
00:48:28 [bell ringing]
00:48:29 [bell ringing]
00:48:36 [bell ringing]
00:48:42 [bell ringing]
00:48:44 Sorry, that's just me.
00:48:47 I just want to make sure that Bronte is okay
00:48:49 because you're really far away.
00:48:51 Hi, babe.
00:48:52 Oh my gosh, yes.
00:48:54 No, like literally, are you okay?
00:48:56 No, I'm fine.
00:48:57 I also just want to--
00:48:59 No, I mean no pressure,
00:49:01 but like I would love to hear your story.
00:49:04 [bell ringing]
00:49:06 Which story?
00:49:09 Oh, just from the wedding.
00:49:11 About my beautiful friend.
00:49:14 Open-minded, open-minded.
00:49:19 Oh, look, the overall wedding was actually incredible.
00:49:23 And as I've said to Bronte before,
00:49:26 when she walked down the aisle,
00:49:28 she literally took my breath away.
00:49:30 I just thought she was absolutely stunning.
00:49:33 Yeah, it just was such an amazing day for me.
00:49:35 I just had so much fun with my friends and family
00:49:37 and then unfortunately this--
00:49:39 You know, I had a single life, you know,
00:49:45 coming into this where, you know, I was dating around.
00:49:49 That's just who I was.
00:49:51 And unfortunately, part of that life followed me in here.
00:49:58 A girl I was seeing who knew I was doing this
00:50:03 basically sent one of Bronte's friends
00:50:07 who was attending the wedding a message
00:50:09 about the fact that we'd been seeing each other
00:50:11 and essentially lied that we were going to continue
00:50:14 a relationship on the outside while I was in here.
00:50:16 Oh, my God.
00:50:18 Is this legit?
00:50:21 This is legit.
00:50:22 This girl said to my friend
00:50:25 that he said that it wouldn't be a scandal
00:50:27 if they got pregnant before the show.
00:50:29 Like, all this absolute crap.
00:50:32 Oh, my God.
00:50:34 Hectic.
00:50:36 Did she stay for the wedding
00:50:38 or were you just like, "You gotta go"?
00:50:40 I'm not buying Harrison's side of this story.
00:50:44 I just don't think girls make this stuff up about guys.
00:50:51 She didn't just mess up my day, she messed up Harrison's day.
00:50:55 So she was your friend, right?
00:50:58 She was my friend, yeah.
00:50:59 So do you think her intentions were to hurt you?
00:51:01 No, I feel like her intentions were five minutes of fame
00:51:04 based on bringing a scandal to our wedding.
00:51:07 And that's a really awful thing
00:51:08 to have brought into a beautiful special moment as well.
00:51:11 Why would you want to ruin that for two people?
00:51:13 I don't understand.
00:51:14 Absolutely.
00:51:16 I'm so confused because I've never met a person
00:51:18 that would do that on someone's wedding day just for attention.
00:51:22 Just thinking about the day actually gets me emotional.
00:51:27 I definitely think there's more to this story.
00:51:31 I just, I don't trust him.
00:51:33 I don't think she should trust him just yet.
00:51:36 Two people can really find each other, you know?
00:51:39 I think there should be more questions,
00:51:41 more digging, getting to the bottom of this.
00:51:43 I want to make this marriage work.
00:51:45 I have no problem being committed.
00:51:48 I've decided to take him for face value.
00:51:51 Cheers to that.
00:51:54 Cheers to trust.
00:51:56 Cheers.
00:51:58 Cheers.
00:52:00 I can't cheers.
00:52:02 No, it's a choice.
00:52:04 No, I'm enjoying it.
00:52:06 What is happening right now?
00:52:08 Like, am I at a different dinner party?
00:52:10 It's crazy.
00:52:12 I'm literally sitting there like, am I the only one
00:52:17 seeing what the hell's going on?
00:52:21 But it's the fact that it comes from my friend,
00:52:23 I was like, what the f***?
00:52:25 It was pretty rough.
00:52:27 It's like Harrison has gone around
00:52:29 and sprinkled some Harrison bullshit
00:52:32 into every single drink,
00:52:33 and everyone's drinking it like Harrison's the man.
00:52:37 Brontë actually pulled me aside,
00:52:39 had like the level head to like say, what's the story?
00:52:41 And then said, I'm choosing to trust you.
00:52:43 It's frustrating me as a female to hear that
00:52:47 it's so easy for Brontë to be okay with this story
00:52:50 that's so alarming.
00:52:53 No, red flag.
00:52:55 Did she ever show you any messages?
00:52:59 What, in between?
00:53:01 Yeah, like where's the proof?
00:53:03 There is no proof.
00:53:05 Yeah, but if someone's like, oh,
00:53:07 we were going to continue this throughout the show and that.
00:53:10 I don't know how.
00:53:12 Exactly.
00:53:13 I haven't seen her.
00:53:15 He deleted everything.
00:53:17 I sent her a very strongly worded text message
00:53:21 that I'm never seeing her again
00:53:23 and deleted her number in front of Brontë.
00:53:25 Yeah, but before,
00:53:27 shortly before the show you did that, right?
00:53:29 You told her like, we're off?
00:53:33 You know, she knew what I was doing.
00:53:37 Yeah, but did you cut it off with her?
00:53:39 You know what?
00:53:50 I sent her a very strongly worded text message
00:53:52 that I'm never seeing her again
00:53:54 and deleted her number in front of Brontë.
00:53:56 Yeah, but before,
00:53:58 shortly before the show you did that, right?
00:54:00 You told her like, we're off?
00:54:04 You know, she knew what I was doing.
00:54:08 Yeah, but did you cut it off with her?
00:54:10 Well, like, I didn't know how much,
00:54:13 how forceful I needed to be about it.
00:54:15 Like, I'm getting married, like how much more...
00:54:17 Are you serious?
00:54:19 She is lowering the boom here, isn't she?
00:54:21 Yeah.
00:54:23 Really dropping the hammer and keeping him accountable
00:54:25 and I don't know how many people have actually done that to him.
00:54:27 So far, nobody, I don't think, tonight.
00:54:29 Did you at any moment give her an idea
00:54:31 that maybe you were going to continue things
00:54:33 after the show or during?
00:54:35 You know what?
00:54:41 She asked me to repeatedly,
00:54:45 like, she was essentially prompting that
00:54:47 and I don't feel like I let her on,
00:54:49 but I also don't feel like I gave that a solid no.
00:54:51 You're going to cheat.
00:54:55 Behave.
00:54:57 I would never in a million years
00:55:01 put myself in a position where I could have some, like,
00:55:03 scandal about cheating on my wife.
00:55:05 I just wouldn't do it.
00:55:07 People always think it's not going to come out a lot.
00:55:09 Oh, for sure, yeah. For sure.
00:55:11 Well, yeah, absolutely.
00:55:13 Absolutely.
00:55:15 He's openly admitted
00:55:21 that one week prior
00:55:23 to coming in here, he was sleeping
00:55:25 with someone.
00:55:27 It just doesn't make sense.
00:55:29 But I feel like everyone here, if you're coming into this show,
00:55:31 it's because you can't find love.
00:55:33 Because you're struggling
00:55:35 to find relationships. You haven't found your person.
00:55:37 You're, like, you're 100% committed.
00:55:39 But I just feel like it's a week ago
00:55:41 that you were sleeping with someone.
00:55:43 How long should you be single
00:55:45 for before coming in here? A day? A month?
00:55:47 A year? When you apply for the show.
00:55:49 When you apply.
00:55:51 I don't appreciate being attacked like that.
00:55:53 Who I was
00:55:57 before I came into this
00:55:59 has absolutely no bearing
00:56:01 on my decisions now.
00:56:03 And I don't feel the need to answer for that
00:56:05 to anyone.
00:56:07 I have no problem meeting women.
00:56:09 I just, for some reason, hadn't found
00:56:11 what I was looking for out there.
00:56:13 Should I just
00:56:15 stop living my life because I'm
00:56:17 coming on a show?
00:56:19 I feel like we all did because our story aligns with our dream.
00:56:21 You're entitled to that opinion.
00:56:23 We're here because we can't find someone, but you found someone
00:56:25 a week before the show. You can find someone, dude.
00:56:27 But I was dating multiple
00:56:35 people before coming onto this show.
00:56:37 Okay, so what are you doing here?
00:56:39 It essentially negates me from being able
00:56:41 to find love.
00:56:43 I want to find love.
00:56:45 Do you? That's why I'm here.
00:56:47 Mel's
00:56:51 put her two cents in where it didn't belong, and no one
00:56:53 asked for her opinion.
00:56:55 It doesn't make sense to me,
00:56:57 but, I mean, you're not my husband,
00:56:59 but it doesn't make sense to me.
00:57:01 Melinda's absolutely
00:57:03 backed him into a corner and
00:57:05 given him some home truths.
00:57:07 And you know what? He hasn't got an answer.
00:57:09 No. And of course, we'd like an
00:57:11 explanation to that as well. Of course.
00:57:13 Absolutely.
00:57:15 I call bullshit.
00:57:17 Okay, we're allowed to do that.
00:57:21 I think we're just going to go around in circles discussing it.
00:57:23 I think I believe Bronte's friends.
00:57:25 I've been in a situation before
00:57:29 where I've dealt
00:57:31 with a guy like Harrison. Heard that
00:57:33 bullshit, things don't add up,
00:57:35 girls telling me things. It happens a lot
00:57:37 to us females, so
00:57:39 I do have advice for Bronte,
00:57:41 and it's run.
00:57:43 Fast.
00:57:45 It doesn't make sense,
00:57:47 but, again, it doesn't need to make sense
00:57:49 to me.
00:57:51 Totally heard Melinda,
00:57:53 and it makes me
00:57:55 think, like,
00:57:57 is half the things that
00:57:59 this girl said true?
00:58:01 I'm
00:58:03 just confused.
00:58:05 Just being defensive friends.
00:58:07 At the end of the day, like, it is something
00:58:09 that obviously does play on my mind,
00:58:11 in terms of the conversation, but I've chosen
00:58:13 to take it face-on.
00:58:15 There's things that have come up
00:58:17 for me that have played on my mind.
00:58:19 Whenever I
00:58:21 say that I've got an issue,
00:58:23 you don't have to try and tip the tat.
00:58:25 You've been before today, when I just literally haven't
00:58:27 spoken. I feel like I've been
00:58:29 essentially giving you the space
00:58:31 that you've asked for.
00:58:33 And I appreciate that, but look how good it is
00:58:35 now that I have had that space.
00:58:37 I just, I want
00:58:39 you to show me that you're in this as much
00:58:41 as I am.
00:58:43 Oh, no, he's asking her
00:58:45 to prove herself.
00:58:47 Wow.
00:58:49 Wow, he's completely
00:58:51 flipped this on its
00:58:53 head. He's asking Bronte
00:58:55 to prove herself to him
00:58:57 when he's the one with the partner on
00:58:59 the outside.
00:59:01 Emotionally, I'm giving you as much
00:59:03 as I possibly can right now.
00:59:05 Which, but you're not giving anything
00:59:07 right now. We don't talk.
00:59:09 We haven't seen each other.
00:59:11 [music]
00:59:13 I just want
00:59:15 you to show me that you want this.
00:59:17 [music]
00:59:19 I'm still here.
00:59:21 Well, that really should be a question that Bronte's
00:59:23 asking him. Exactly.
00:59:25 He's flipped it. He's flipped the script.
00:59:27 But I'm giving
00:59:29 you everything that I possibly can
00:59:31 right now. I'm not saying that I'm not
00:59:33 going to eventually give you more,
00:59:35 but I'm not going to rush into things
00:59:37 and have it burn out.
00:59:39 I honestly don't even want to continue
00:59:41 this conversation anymore. Okay, then we might continue
00:59:43 this conversation. I have all the space you need.
00:59:45 Like, I don't...
00:59:47 Just do that, honestly.
00:59:49 [music]
00:59:51 [sigh]
00:59:53 I feel like the focus was solely
00:59:55 on what happened at the wedding.
00:59:57 And it's called my character into
00:59:59 question and why I'm here into question.
01:00:01 I'm not, I'm not sorry.
01:00:03 I'm really not. Like, I was
01:00:05 a single guy and I had options. I'm not
01:00:07 going to apologize about that.
01:00:09 [music]
01:00:11 [background chatter]
01:00:13 [music]
01:00:15 [music]
01:00:17 [music]
01:00:19 [music]
01:00:21 [music]
01:00:23 [music]
01:00:25 [music]
01:00:27 I clicked a lot with Brontë on, you know, the Hens night
01:00:29 and was really hoping for the best for her.
01:00:31 I could see Brontë was by herself
01:00:33 and she just looked really upset.
01:00:35 I'm in a very nice relationship with Brontë.
01:00:37 [music]
01:00:39 [music]
01:00:41 [music]
01:00:43 [music]
01:00:45 [music]
01:00:47 Alright?
01:00:49 [background chatter]
01:00:51 [background chatter]
01:00:53 [background chatter]
01:00:55 [background chatter]
01:00:57 [background chatter]
01:00:59 [background chatter]
01:01:01 [background chatter]
01:01:03 Now I feel like I'm the only one putting any effort into the
01:01:05 relationship. You know, I'm calling her on it. She's like,
01:01:07 "I just need space." He's cast himself in the victim role.
01:01:09 That's not good enough for me.
01:01:11 Like... And he's now saying to her,
01:01:13 "You need to make it up to me."
01:01:15 Yeah. "Prove yourself to me."
01:01:17 It makes no sense.
01:01:19 Just never listens to anything
01:01:21 that I f***ing say.
01:01:23 [music]
01:01:25 [music]
01:01:27 [music]
01:01:29 [music]
01:01:31 [music]
01:01:33 [music]
01:01:35 Alright? It's happening.
01:01:37 [background chatter]
01:01:39 [background chatter]
01:01:41 [background chatter]
01:01:43 [background chatter]
01:01:45 Just never listens to anything
01:01:47 that I f***ing say.
01:01:49 Dude, he just makes me cry
01:01:51 all the time. He just
01:01:53 doesn't listen. It is heart-breaking
01:01:55 watching her be like that and feel like
01:01:57 that. This seems like really manipulative
01:01:59 gaslighting behavior.
01:02:01 [music]
01:02:03 I'm going to break you down to your lowest point
01:02:05 and then I'm going to give you a little bit here.
01:02:07 Try to recoup
01:02:09 myself so that you essentially feel crazy.
01:02:11 Harrison is giving me major f***boy
01:02:13 vibes.
01:02:15 He essentially had another
01:02:17 girl. He found out he was going to be
01:02:19 seeing this other girl whilst he was seeing you.
01:02:21 He found out that he was supposedly going to get this other
01:02:23 girl pregnant because oh my god, what a scandal.
01:02:25 There's not really any communication.
01:02:27 We don't do anything together.
01:02:29 And he said he wasn't sexually
01:02:31 attracted to you after
01:02:33 we slept together.
01:02:35 [gasp]
01:02:37 No, no, he did not say that.
01:02:39 At this point in time, I'm not a fan of Harrison.
01:02:41 I'm really trying super hard
01:02:43 not to come across as pushy.
01:02:45 He goes, "I have,
01:02:47 I had a crush that
01:02:49 I had liked for a long time and we started
01:02:51 speaking the week before I came in."
01:02:53 Then why come? Why come?
01:02:55 Why come? Why are you here?
01:02:57 I think there's some questionable
01:02:59 reasons for Harrison to be here
01:03:01 and that's something that I am very concerned
01:03:03 about that. Yeah, yeah, me too.
01:03:05 We're going to have to hold
01:03:07 him accountable. Absolutely.
01:03:09 Let's not forget,
01:03:11 tomorrow, they will move in together.
01:03:13 Right. So it is an
01:03:15 added layer of complexity
01:03:17 and pressure for them.
01:03:19 And the big question is,
01:03:21 how are they going to handle it?
01:03:23 My brain right now is just like
01:03:25 what the f***?
01:03:27 I've been bombarded
01:03:29 with all of this information that I'm still
01:03:31 trying to process and every single time I
01:03:33 try to move forward, the wedding
01:03:35 comes up again. It's like
01:03:37 one step forward, ten steps back.
01:03:39 Honestly, I'm just not
01:03:41 having a great time.
01:03:43 To me, it's like
01:03:45 this is too much hard work.
01:03:47 He's not an easy person
01:03:49 to deal with.
01:03:51 Yeah, it's
01:03:55 all I've done is cry.
01:03:57 And not once has he ever
01:04:03 comforted me.
01:04:05 (whooshing)
