00:00I'm coming into this very open-minded.
00:04I obviously can't find what I want myself.
00:07I am not sure if I believe in love.
00:09I'm actually here today to find out if love truly exists.
00:16Six singles, desperate to transform their failing love lives.
00:21I had a really bad heartbreak two years ago, but now I'm ready to commit to someone.
00:25Have signed up to a radical new dating experience.
00:29I'm really looking forward to building a genuine connection with somebody.
00:32Turning their backs on the usual, endless, overwhelming stream of choice.
00:37The grass is always greener, you're always looking at different options.
00:40They must choose one person from just two matches.
00:44Oh, here we go, we're in business.
00:46This is horrible.
00:47Who should I choose?
00:49Handpicked by experts, one will satisfy each single's usual wants.
00:54How a girl looks is extremely important to me.
00:57People I've dated have all had age in common.
00:59I'm such a cougar.
01:01The other fulfills their deeper romantic needs.
01:04I need to stop going for a younger guy.
01:06They always say the nice guy finishes last, but the nice guy's going to finish first this time.
01:10Just 24 hours after meeting their chosen match on a blind date.
01:14How will I know it's him?
01:18They'll take the extraordinary step of moving in together.
01:22Honey, I'm home.
01:23What side of the bed do you like to sleep on?
01:25A groundbreaking approach to finding a happy ever after.
01:28I actually genuinely really like him.
01:30The feelings are there.
01:31I wasn't expecting this at all.
01:33Won't be easy.
01:34You are the most shallow person I've ever met in my life.
01:36I don't understand who you actually think you are.
01:38Just so you know, you're never going to come for me.
01:40Because what the singles don't know is that it comes with an explosive twist.
01:49The other girl just texted me.
01:51I'm looking forward to meeting you soon.
01:52Oh my God!
01:54After two become three, will heads be turned?
01:58Did you like her?
02:00And hearts broken?
02:02Somebody's going to get their feelings hurt.
02:04You're lying.
02:05Don't speak! I'm so done with your voice.
02:08And when each single faces a final agonizing dilemma.
02:12Obviously I have had to make a decision.
02:14Which one of their two matches will they pick to pursue lasting love?
02:19This is so hard.
02:22I'm choosing you.
02:24I'm choosing you.
02:32Kill.
02:34Guys don't think that they have to put in any effort anymore.
02:36Six singles fed up with the worst parts of modern dating.
02:40You can't get a lot of personality just over five pictures.
02:44It's just like a nightmare.
02:45People ghosting you, catfishes.
02:48Are embarking on a revolutionary new dating experience.
02:52Is that too sippy?
02:55Designed as the antidote to the swipe right, looks-based approach to romance.
03:00Are my hands okay? I feel like I'm getting too jazzy.
03:03They have 48 hours to choose between two matches.
03:07Getting to know them over text only.
03:10Having not met them yet is wild.
03:14I am going to be sweating.
03:17With no pictures or visual clues allowed,
03:20they'll have no idea what their new love interest looks like.
03:24I am terrified.
03:27You're just walking into a situation completely blind.
03:30First to make their potentially life-changing choice.
03:33I just have to annoy me babes.
03:35Because I'm a salt mate.
03:36Is 22-year-old Jasmine.
03:40Yo, yo.
03:41I work at a really local primary school.
03:43It's the one that I went to when I was younger.
03:45So my colleagues taught me and now we teach alongside each other.
03:49Okay, morning guys.
03:51We're just going to have a little bit of a read of a book.
03:53We're going to have our voices off and our listening ears turned all the way up.
03:57I love working with the children.
03:59They're so funny and every day is different.
04:02Quack.
04:04And I also love that I get to give them back at the end of the day
04:06and I don't have to keep them.
04:09I try and dance sort of two times a week.
04:11It's so uplifting and it's really freeing as well.
04:14Put on some tight clothes, pair of heels, roll around the floor.
04:17Feel good, look a bit sexy.
04:19Post it on Instagram and get a couple of DMs the following day.
04:23Modern dating has completely ruined the dating game.
04:27You know, I don't like the Princess Jasmine pick-up line.
04:31Can I see your magic carpet?
04:33No babes.
04:35That's at least date-free material.
04:41I normally go for tall, dark, handsome, tattoos, bad boy.
04:46Treats me really poorly but I love it.
04:50But that's what I've gone for in the past.
04:52I think what I actually need is somebody that's kind and caring and reassuring.
04:57Growing up was really hard.
04:59I got quite badly bullied at school.
05:01I would go home every day crying.
05:03I just thought I wasn't good enough.
05:07I was born with a minor physical disability
05:10and my hand has adopted the name chicken hand.
05:13It is just my little chicken.
05:17When I was a baby, it was wrapped around the umbilical cord
05:20so my fingers never formed properly.
05:23I had a toe transplant so these two are toes
05:27so that I can hold things and use it.
05:30When I first started dating, I was so self-conscious.
05:33I wouldn't go out in short sleeves.
05:35I'd get so far into these relationships and they didn't know
05:38and I'd have to tell them and they'd be gone.
05:42But looking back at that now, it's 100% made me a stronger person.
05:50Everybody's been so supportive in my adult life.
05:54It's just great and I honestly think like
05:56I would have zero personality if I had two hands.
06:00I'm really looking forward to building a genuine connection with somebody.
06:04I just want somebody to share my life with
06:07and then hopefully if he is the one,
06:09then I think I would want to settle down with him, yeah.
06:15Jasmine has been matched with business owner Matt
06:18and land developer Jack.
06:21One reflects her usual wants, a playful Jack the lad.
06:25The other better meets her deeper needs
06:28for someone kind and sympathetic.
06:31Do you know how scary this is?
06:33Jasmine has just 48 hours to choose between Matt and Jack
06:38before they meet on a blind date and then move in together.
06:43I can't press the button.
06:46Her decision will be based on the connection formed via text message only.
06:51No selfies and no hints as to what either match looks like.
06:57Do I ask them how they are?
07:00Lovely weather we're having.
07:03I've got to text. It's Matt.
07:07That's a really nice message.
07:09That's really sweet actually.
07:14I think connection is really important.
07:16Looks fade and, you know, if you have a laugh with somebody
07:19and they make you feel good about yourself,
07:21then I think it can go the whole way.
07:24Hmm.
07:26I don't know.
07:27If you have a laugh with somebody and they make you feel good about yourself,
07:30then I think it can go the whole way.
07:33Hmm.
07:35Oh, Matt's text.
07:38You've got me to hold your hand through it.
07:42Mate.
07:44As long as it's not the right hand, we're fine.
07:51Dating me is like being in a partnership that you feel secure,
07:56you feel respected, you feel loved.
07:59I reckon I'm a catch. I'd date me.
08:02He's obviously got a bit of personality about him.
08:05I'm a podcaster. This is the Success School podcast.
08:09I've ran an entertainment company since I was 19
08:13and on weekends I become Marco in.
08:22It's great to achieve stuff,
08:24but if you've not got somebody to share that with,
08:27it feels like something is missing.
08:30How do I envisage my next relationship?
08:34Marriage, children and happily ever after.
08:39I feel like Matt's got good conversation,
08:41like he's definitely making an effort to keep the conversation going.
08:45I just would like Jack to reply.
08:51Oh, here.
08:55It's such a bloke text, isn't it?
08:57Jack is giving me, like, lad vibes,
09:00as in, like, hi, treble, and sliding into my DMs.
09:04I think Jack might be a bit of a lad's lad.
09:07Is that, like, a sustainable vibe or not? I don't know.
09:19I'm a down-to-earth northern lad that cares about his family.
09:22I love me mates.
09:24So I love going to the gym, love playing football
09:27and I would say I'm a bit of a compulsive show-off.
09:31I go out there and chase women, which I enjoy doing.
09:33It's a hobby of mine.
09:35I've got some decent biceps on me.
09:37I think I'm not a bad looker and I think I'm a good lover.
09:46What if I choose the wrong one?
09:50Oh, my God.
09:52Lloyd Master Interview, take one.
10:03I speak Norwegian, Swedish, Danish
10:05and then I can read and write in Russian.
10:10So you can chat up girls in quite a few places?
10:13I can definitely chat up girls in quite a lot of places, yeah.
10:17I grew up in London.
10:18By the age of seven, my mum moved me to Norway,
10:22which is predominantly white.
10:25I definitely had an identity crisis, as many mixed-race people do.
10:30Especially moving from country to country.
10:34I often experience me being the first black guy
10:38that girls have hooked up with.
10:41But my mum always told me that I should be proud of my identity.
10:46Of where I'm from.
10:47And that being mixed-race, you are the best of both worlds.
10:52I've got a unique style.
10:53This rough, sexy, jungle type of look going on.
10:56People say that I look like if Jason Momoa and The Rock had a love child.
11:03I'm a DJ. I get to travel the world.
11:05I get to see amazing places and I get to meet amazing people.
11:10Have you ever had your heart broken?
11:13I'm 31 and I've never been in a relationship.
11:16It's even come to the point where I'm not even sure if love exists.
11:21Throughout my 20s, I always wanted to remain single
11:24and I didn't want to make that commitment.
11:26But then I experienced lockdown.
11:30Where all the clubs closed.
11:32I lost my job.
11:34I lost all my income.
11:36I had to live in a crisis centre.
11:39I got to see loneliness firsthand.
11:43I basically matured.
11:44I'm at a place now in my life where I'm ready to find myself the perfect woman
11:51and at least give love a chance and see if I can find somebody long-term.
11:56I want to find somebody that makes me, hopefully, a better version of myself.
12:02And it'll be more like a partnership.
12:04Because I think when you have a girlfriend,
12:07you guys should also be best friends and at the same time lovers.
12:11Wifey for Lloyd, yeah?
12:13Okay.
12:16I want to be a bride in my ends.
12:20Lloyd has been matched with events manager Brodie and entertainment host Emily.
12:26One is the sort of fun, fiery, forthright match Lloyd has tended to go for.
12:31The other reflects the shift in Lloyd's romantic needs.
12:35Now he is looking to settle down in a steadier, more mature relationship.
12:39This is exciting.
12:45Now if she says cat, that is an automatic disqualification, unfortunately for her.
12:54Look at that!
12:56You know when a firework goes off and you just don't know what you're going to get
13:00but you know it's going to be a massive explosion?
13:02That is me.
13:05I think a lot of people just see me and think,
13:06oh yeah, you're just a basic, bimbo blonde.
13:09It couldn't be further from the truth.
13:14I am the full package.
13:16Gala's got brains, beauty.
13:18I've had two nose jobs.
13:20Brazilian, but left.
13:22I absolutely love my badonkidonk.
13:24I think if I've got it, why not flaunt it?
13:26So I like the attention.
13:28To be completely honest, Brodie is giving me the energy that I would normally go for.
13:33But with that said, usually when I go out, I'm not looking for a wife or a girlfriend.
13:39I'll be looking for a hook-up.
13:55Okay, personality is always shining through.
13:57So I'm an entertainment host on a cruise ship.
14:01I'm always away in hot, sunny places.
14:04I live in a bikini most of the time.
14:08Yes, definitely a solid start.
14:10They say I've got the best legs in the business.
14:13Not that I do anything to achieve what they are.
14:15I don't really work out or anything, but I grew them myself.
14:22She seems like such a great person.
14:24She seems like somebody I could have good conversations with.
14:27Potential for a long-term relationship.
14:30Definitely looking for something more than just surface level.
14:39I'm getting towards 30.
14:42I've done a lot of my travelling and stuff.
14:44I want to come back and find someone to settle down with.
14:48As a DJ, I'm travelling a lot.
14:50So I can really relate to that.
14:51It's hard to have a relationship if you're always on the move.
14:56I think I need someone quite affectionate.
14:59Tick.
15:01Someone who's not afraid to show me their love.
15:04Tick.
15:06Ooh.
15:08I ticked all those boxes.
15:10That is basically me.
15:12Hey!
15:21I got a message from Matt last night.
15:24It's been nice talking and getting to know a little about you.
15:27Hope you feel less nervous now.
15:29Sweet dreams. Sleep well.
15:31I think that's really sweet that he is asking how I feel.
15:34He is all the green flags.
15:36He's ticking the boxes.
15:38After two days of texting,
15:40Jasmine must now choose between Marco and impersonator Matt
15:44and football fanatic Jack.
15:46I typically go for bad boy
15:48and somebody that doesn't give too much.
15:52Ooh! Jack text.
15:56Now part of me is thinking maybe Jack
15:58because he seems to have the banter thing.
16:00Like, I think he would get my banter.
16:02Oh, he's really going to throw it.
16:04He's going to throw it.
16:06Oh, no.
16:09This is hard.
16:11This is horrible.
16:13I hate this.
16:15All right, let's see what's going on.
16:18Looking for a partner
16:20that can snap, crackle and pop.
16:22Which one are you?
16:27Okay, that was a good answer, actually.
16:29Hmm.
16:31Now I'm leaning more towards Brody.
16:36Okay.
16:38Yeah, there's a bit of banter going on between me and Brody.
16:41But I mean, it's all good.
16:42Between me and Brody.
16:44But I mean, it's just always banter.
16:46How's that going to work out when things need to get serious?
16:49I need to pull that seriousness out of her somehow
16:52before I make my decision.
16:57Who shall I choose?
17:04I just don't know.
17:07They're completely different.
17:09Like, I feel like going into this
17:12Matt would really look after me
17:14and, like, make sure I was okay
17:16and I think that would be really nice.
17:18But I do think
17:20that me and Jack
17:22would get on.
17:24And I always go for a bad boy
17:26and Jack is giving me the bad boy vibe.
17:28He's giving me proper lad vibes
17:30and I like that.
17:33So I think I've made my decision.
17:36I'm going to call him.
17:38It's ringing.
17:48Hello?
17:59It's ringing.
18:07Matt, hello.
18:09Hello.
18:11It's Jasmine.
18:13So I've picked you
18:15and now we get to go on a date.
18:17Oh my God, okay.
18:19So all I can say is
18:21it's been ace chatting to you the last few days.
18:23Oh, I love that, thank you.
18:25I feel like we connected pretty quick.
18:27It was really weird.
18:29Yeah, I got that.
18:31It's like we met without actually meeting.
18:33Oh, I love that.
18:35I just feel like I really love your energy
18:37and I'm going to take each day as it comes.
18:39Okay, cool.
18:41That sounds good to me.
18:43Speak to you soon.
18:45Okay, see you.
18:47Bye.
18:49He sounds really nice.
18:51I think I've made the right decision.
18:53Yeah.
18:58Emily seems more mature,
19:00down to earth.
19:02She's travelled about.
19:04It seems to me like she's had an exciting life
19:05and she now wants to calm it down.
19:08I think it's more of a blind date with Emily
19:10than it would be with Brody.
19:12Brody, I kind of know what I'm going to do.
19:21Brody, she's definitely a funny girl.
19:24My main concerns about Brody
19:26is that she might be a bit immature.
19:36Okay.
19:45Yeah, she definitely seems like a fun girl.
19:48Definitely a girl I would hook up with.
19:51Brody shows a lot of humour.
19:54We definitely have a connection
19:57and she's easy to talk to.
19:59On the other hand,
20:01Emily shows a lot of maturity
20:02and an understanding of our lifestyles.
20:06So it's not going to be an easy decision.
20:16I want to get to know a deeper side of Brody.
20:19I want to get closer to her,
20:21both physically and mentally.
20:23Like she said before,
20:25she needs to get to know someone
20:27before she can open herself up
20:29and be vulnerable.
20:30So I want to give her that chance.
20:42Today is the day.
20:44I'm really excited to meet him.
20:47Honestly, this is crazy.
20:50Meeting somebody on a blind date
20:52is quite a vulnerable position
20:54to put yourself in.
20:56But I think you've got to take yourself
20:58out of your comfort zone
21:01and, you know,
21:03I'm ready for a relationship.
21:06I'm ready to start enjoying my life with somebody.
21:09I think I'm ready to have more
21:11than a boyfriend now.
21:17Is it appropriate to nervous vomit in the toilet?
21:21Oh my God.
21:26I think I've gone for somebody
21:28that I wouldn't normally go for.
21:30I know it's him.
21:32So I don't know if I've made the right decision.
21:37I do need a nice guy in my life,
21:39so I am hoping
21:41that he's going to be kind and caring.
21:46Feeling like,
21:48like everything is here.
21:50Yeah, everything's in here.
21:56I'm hoping that he looks tall
21:58and dark and handsome.
22:08And a bit of a prince charming
22:10and not a twat in tinfoil.
22:14He could be everything
22:16that I've ever wanted and hoped for.
22:18And that's actually quite terrifying.
22:22What in my life?
22:29Hi.
22:31Hey.
22:33How are you? Are you okay?
22:35I think so. You're right.
22:37You're stunning.
22:39Pleased to meet you.
22:40The awkward hug.
22:41Those are for you.
22:42We've done the awkward hug now.
22:43Thank you. You're shaking.
22:45Are you okay?
22:46Are you all right? You're shaking.
22:48I'm a little bit cold.
22:49Are you?
22:50It's nice Manchester weather.
22:52Yeah, you're wet.
22:54It's nice.
22:55Other than that, we're all good.
22:56Thank you. These are cute.
22:58This is nice.
22:59They match the umbrella as well,
23:00the purple.
23:01You're lovely.
23:03How do you feel?
23:05That's how I feel.
23:06Yeah?
23:07You?
23:08Good.
23:09You feel good?
23:10Yeah, thank you for picking me.
23:11That's all right.
23:12That's all right.
23:14He's not what I pictured.
23:16If I saw him across the bar,
23:18I don't think I would go over there
23:20and try and get his phone number.
23:22I'll tell you the question I've got to ask.
23:23Oh, no.
23:24Was it a tough decision?
23:26Uh, yeah.
23:28You were very different.
23:30Really?
23:31You were really different.
23:32Okay.
23:33I think she's lovely.
23:34She's definitely my type.
23:36She's very attractive, very cute.
23:38Do you fancy her then?
23:39Yeah, I definitely fancy her.
23:41Yeah.
23:42You were nice.
23:43Okay.
23:45You came across really nice.
23:47The other guy seemed like a bit of a geezer.
23:50Do you like a bit of a geezer?
23:51She likes a bit of a geezer.
23:53No, nice.
23:54No, no.
23:55I chose you.
23:56Yeah.
23:58I did choose you.
23:59So, you did something right.
24:02Well, they always say a nice guy's finished last.
24:04Yeah, but you didn't.
24:06Yeah.
24:07You didn't, so it's fine.
24:10So, I didn't actually ask you what you do for a living.
24:12Let me guess.
24:13You do a podcast?
24:14Yeah, I do a podcast.
24:16And I also have a business that I started when I was 19.
24:19Which is like a management and agency for...
24:22When you were 19?
24:24Yeah.
24:25When I was 19, I was in Magaluf, mate.
24:27Like, dribbling on the pavement.
24:29Well, I never really wanted to be a business person.
24:31It just kind of happened.
24:32So, I was in...
24:33Oh, it just happened?
24:34Yeah, I was in a Take That tribute band.
24:38Okay.
24:41You hate Take That, don't you?
24:43I knew this was going to be the end.
24:45I'm not laughing because I'm laughing.
24:46I knew this was going to be the end.
24:47I'm not laughing because it's funny.
24:48I'm laughing because I'm shocked.
24:51What are you called?
24:53Rule the World.
24:55It's not like one of the cheesy names.
24:56I was going to say Take Twat.
24:57That would have been really funny.
25:02Would that have been funny?
25:03Yeah.
25:04Yeah, that would have been funny.
25:07It threw me.
25:08And then I think I upset him because I said Take Twat.
25:13I was like...
25:17I was like...
25:30Would you like this one?
25:31Yeah, thank you.
25:32Here you go.
25:33I'm actually pretty hungry.
25:35Well, it's done.
25:36Thank you very much.
25:39So, are you a little...
25:40Would you say you're a little bit crazy?
25:41Mm.
25:43Mm.
25:46What's the nuttiest part of you?
25:48Like, what's the sort of thing you do?
25:50No, I just like to MC a lot.
25:54OK.
25:55Yeah.
25:56And you...
25:57You are good.
25:59I didn't say that.
26:00I give it a go.
26:01I back myself, mate, don't I?
26:03I like that.
26:04You've got to.
26:06Have you always been confident?
26:08No.
26:09No.
26:10How did you get confident?
26:12I don't know.
26:13I didn't finish school.
26:14So, I left school when I was, like, 15,
26:15with no qualifications or anything like that.
26:17How come?
26:18Just because people were horrible.
26:19People were really horrible.
26:20So, I'd just go home every day and cry in my bedroom.
26:22Really?
26:23It was that bad?
26:24It was really bad, yeah.
26:25Honestly, it was really weird.
26:26It was like something just changed.
26:27I don't really know what it was,
26:29but I was just like,
26:30I'm actually sick of, like,
26:31living like this all the time
26:32and caring about what everybody thinks.
26:34Because, actually, the only person
26:35that I've got to live with is me.
26:38And, yeah.
26:39What?
26:40Just, yeah.
26:41I like it.
26:42It's true, though, innit?
26:43You're on my way, let me put it that way.
26:45It is true, and I think, yeah,
26:46sometimes you've got to just take a risk,
26:48start again.
26:49Yeah.
26:50Get yourself out there.
26:52So, I've been pretty backwards and forwards
26:53in my head about what I'm going to do
26:54about my hand and showing it to him
26:56and that sort of thing.
26:58Part of me really wants to just go all out
27:00and not hide it and just be myself.
27:02But, typically, on a date, I would hide it.
27:07I don't want to make him feel uncomfortable
27:08and put him under pressure or anything like that.
27:11Are you nervous to live with me?
27:14I'm excited to live with you.
27:16Are you?
27:17Yeah.
27:18Really?
27:19I feel like you're really, really easy to get on with.
27:21Cool.
27:22And, yeah, I love that you're really confident,
27:24that you're bubbly.
27:26Thanks.
27:27So, I think it'll be fun.
27:29So, do you have something I need to tell you
27:30before we actually live together?
27:35You've probably noticed.
27:38No.
27:39Basically, my hand looks like that.
27:40OK.
27:41Yeah, so, growing up, when I was obviously born,
27:43my hand was wrapped around the umbilical cord,
27:45so it didn't form properly.
27:47Really?
27:48Yeah.
27:49You're going to have to open the tins
27:50and tie my shoelaces.
27:53Other than that, we're good?
27:54Other than that, I can't play the piano.
27:56Maybe we could play the piano between us.
27:58You could be my right-hand man.
28:00Yeah, fine.
28:02I think the way that she is with her hand
28:04and the way she speaks about it
28:05and the way she's so confident in herself
28:09has actually made me like her more
28:11and have even more respect.
28:13Well done, you turned out like a trooper.
28:15No, honestly, like, yeah.
28:17You didn't need to tell me,
28:18but I appreciate that.
28:19No, I just did.
28:20I did, cos, yeah, I did.
28:22We all call it the chicken.
28:23So, I get that you quite like to have fun...
28:25Yeah.
28:26..around it.
28:27Yeah, it's funny.
28:28For you, I guess it's part of your identity.
28:30Yeah.
28:31It's like...
28:32It's a part of me, but it's not the whole of me
28:33and it doesn't define me.
28:34But...
28:35Yeah.
28:36..it still is part of me.
28:37Part of you.
28:38It's like, do you want two hands or something like that?
28:39So, it'd be like changing a fundamental bit of you.
28:42I was really surprised about his reaction to my hand.
28:44I think he took it really well, really well, bless him,
28:47and he made me feel really good about it as well,
28:50so that was nice.
28:51I'm actually really happy.
28:52He seems really nice
28:53and I think he's going to look after me.
28:55Well done.
28:57Well done, me?
28:58No, I didn't want to scare you.
28:59I'm not scared.
29:00OK.
29:01Well, thank you.
29:02Apart from being loud and noisy and...
29:04Are you really loud?
29:05I am loud, yeah.
29:06Loud, loud.
29:07So, we're going to do it one more time?
29:08Mm-hm.
29:11Shall we go?
29:12Yeah.
29:13My place or yours?
29:14Ours.
29:15Ours.
29:16Now, I guess.
29:17Oh, that's so scary.
29:18Shall we do it?
29:19Yeah, come on, then.
29:20I'm excited to move in with him.
29:21He's not my usual type.
29:23I have gone different, but different is good.
29:25We like different.
29:26Do you want to hold hands?
29:28Go on, then.
29:29We're going to live together.
29:30Which hand?
29:31We might as well.
29:32And I think he'd be a nice person.
29:33I think he'd be a good person to fall in love with.
29:38Could I have a glass of red wine?
29:41I'm at a place now in my life where I am mentally, physically
29:46and financially ready to find myself the perfect woman.
29:53I hope she's as wonderful as I picture her in my head.
29:58I hope she's as wonderful as I picture her in my head.
30:03I hope she's as wonderful as I picture her in my head.
30:07The type I would usually go for is tall, slim, maybe athletic,
30:15big fake boobs.
30:20I am not sure if I believe in love.
30:25I am actually here today to find out if love truly exists.
30:36Hello.
30:37Hello, lovely.
30:38How are you?
30:39You all right?
30:40I'm all right.
30:41Oh, my God, you're so tall.
30:42You look like a giraffe.
30:43I look like what?
30:44A giraffe.
30:45You're so tall.
30:46A giraffe?
30:47Yeah, you're like so...
30:48I look like a giraffe?
30:49Yeah.
30:50Wait, where's your accent from?
30:51That's rad.
30:52I've got a London accent.
30:53London.
30:54Oh, my God, right, wait.
30:55I'm going to sit on this.
30:56I'm going to try and sit on it cute.
30:57Go on.
30:58There you go.
30:59Where's your accent from?
31:00I'm from Scotland.
31:01You're Scottish, eh?
31:02Yes.
31:03Do you like what I'm wearing?
31:04Yeah.
31:05Do you like my outfit?
31:06Looking fit.
31:07Is it good?
31:08Yeah.
31:09Do you want a drink?
31:10Yeah, please.
31:11Can I do a Pornstar martini, if that's all right?
31:12Honest first impressions, I am actually disappointed.
31:13Thank you so much.
31:14All right, so what were you choosing to do?
31:15If I saw Brodie on a dating app, to be honest, I would...
31:16I would...
31:17Brodie?
31:18Brodie.
31:19Brodie.
31:20Brodie.
31:21Brodie.
31:22Brodie.
31:23Brodie.
31:24Brodie.
31:25Brodie.
31:26Brodie.
31:27Brodie.
31:28Brodie.
31:29Brodie.
31:30Brodie.
31:31Brodie.
31:32I would...
31:33I would not...
31:34I would not match with her.
31:35We're choosing two.
31:36Me being amazin'!
31:38What about me?
31:39You have to join my amaz-eness.
31:41I mean, if you're worth it.
31:43I think he definitely, obviously, fancies me.
31:45For sure.
31:46I feel like I'm most people's type, to be honest.
31:49Yeah, I don't know if he's maybe just nervous.
31:50Because I know I'm quite a confident, loud, like, in your face, person.
31:54So he might be taken back by that.
31:56It's a matter of whether or not he can handle that or not.
32:00So am I your type, then?
32:01Would you say like I'm your typical,
32:02like what you would normally go for?
32:04So normally I like taller girls,
32:06cause I'm pretty.
32:07Oh, taller girls, right, okay.
32:09So no, I don't got heels on, you know that, right?
32:11I am short, my ass is short.
32:14You ask me, the girls that I usually...
32:17Tall girls.
32:19Okay, but I'm really short.
32:20Yeah, no worries.
32:21I think Brody likes me,
32:25and I think she's a little bit into me.
32:28For the rest of this date,
32:29I'm just trying to get to know her,
32:30try and bring out that bandsaw that I saw in her texts.
32:33Maybe she's a bit nervous by my image.
32:37What does it look like, my profession is?
32:39I feel like I'm getting very like sales pitch vibes
32:42from you, I think you're quite serious.
32:43Okay.
32:45Maybe like something along those lines,
32:46like maybe you sell like computer software
32:48or something internationally.
32:51Yeah.
32:52Computer software?
32:53I don't know, what is it you do?
32:58Full-time DJ.
32:59DJ?
33:00Stop it, you are missing.
33:03That is the last thing I would have put you as.
33:04DJ?
33:05I would say...
33:06No, no, no, like a DJ?
33:07No.
33:08I never pass.
33:09No way.
33:10Do you not think though all DJs are a bit fuckboys?
33:14Is that your image of DJs?
33:15100%.
33:17Like they get about, do you know what I mean?
33:19Like they're DJing on their sets, they're raving,
33:21and then they've got all their fangirls
33:22that just want to like have sex.
33:24Have you hooked up with a DJ before?
33:25I've never hooked up with a DJ before.
33:27Because I'm not on that level, you know,
33:29I'm like more queen vibe, you know what I mean?
33:31Okay.
33:32I'm not a peasant cutting about the door.
33:33Peasant?
33:34Yeah, exactly.
33:35I'm not that me, I'm VIP.
33:37Okay.
33:39So wait, have you got with loads of people
33:41then when you've been away?
33:44Do you want me to be honest?
33:44Yeah, 100%.
33:45I want to stay here, that's all I want.
33:47Yeah, so yes, I have hooked up with a lot of girls.
33:50I have a number, but...
33:52What's your number?
33:55I'll tell you the number.
33:56No, tell me the number.
33:57Wait, I'm stressing.
33:58Oh my God.
33:59You're not allowed to judge me on it.
34:00Okay.
34:02I've already judged you.
34:04What is it?
34:07So approximately 300.
34:09Fucking hell.
34:11Oh my God.
34:14Obviously I've been working as a DJ.
34:16So you confirm what I said,
34:17that DJs like have fuck boy vibes?
34:19No.
34:21Yes.
34:22That does give me like massive, massive red flags.
34:25Sex isn't just something for me
34:27that I would just like dish out.
34:28Cause like, I don't just dish it out.
34:30Who's got time?
34:31Like where are you doing your washing in this?
34:33You know?
34:44I'm originally from Toronto, Canada.
34:46Tucked by's up from long range.
34:48My top hits the three.
34:50I'm an ex-professional basketball player.
34:52He's got the golden basketball.
34:55The third person to enter the love triangle experience
34:58is 40 year old Mike.
35:01I'm six foot seven.
35:02I've got size 15 shoes
35:04and I've been told that everything's in proportion.
35:12I retired from basketball in May.
35:14It's just like a year where I try to reinvent myself.
35:19Who am I?
35:20Who do I want to become?
35:21I'm still known as Mike Tuck, the basketball player
35:24but there's that gap in my life relationship wise.
35:27And I want to be known as, you know, Mike Tuck, the husband
35:30and hopefully Mike Tuck, the father.
35:35In the past, I've definitely been attracted
35:36to adventurous girls, but I think now I'm looking
35:39for someone who's also ready to settle.
35:41You know, I've done the dating app thing.
35:43I think I just would want something more consistent
35:45in my life and start building something special.
35:51I think my mom would have had an influence
35:53on the partner I picked,
35:55more so that I would have wanted my mother's approval.
35:59My mom passed away in 2019
36:03when she was on a trip visiting me
36:10and she had passed away in the middle of the night.
36:13So it was like the toughest moment.
36:18Sorry.
36:23Just because it was just like out of the blue,
36:25out of nowhere.
36:27But she was such an important person in my life.
36:31So that's really important to me is that the person
36:34that I end up with is someone that I think
36:36that my mother would have been proud of.
36:42I am ready for some romance.
36:46I want someone who's confident, independent.
36:49You know, someone that I have chemistry with.
36:54Mike's matches are gym instructor Kelly
36:56and mindset coach Danielle.
36:59Both are a good fit,
37:01but while one is ready to set a steadier course,
37:04focused on family that Mike says he needs,
37:07the other better embodies the adventurous,
37:09carefree spirit Mike often wants.
37:12Oh man, and we're in.
37:15Oh, here we go.
37:17Diving in to the deep ends.
37:24Kelly's answered.
37:30Because I have been single for so long,
37:32I know what I want.
37:34I also know what I don't want.
37:36I've got time to waste, you know,
37:37bish, bash, brush, get it done.
37:39Hmm, interesting.
37:41Interesting.
37:42My dating life so far, it's an epic fail.
37:46I've been cheated on in every single relationship.
37:50I'm not sure what that says about me.
37:53Best case scenario from this is I meet my match,
37:57my best friend, my soulmate,
38:00and then we just disappear into the sunset,
38:02have babies, live happily ever after.
38:12Kelly's come back.
38:19And now she knows she's in a place
38:20where she wants to be with someone.
38:22And I completely relate to that.
38:26Here we go, Danielle, we're in the game.
38:39I'm not the biggest motorsport guy,
38:41but the rest of them I can get down with.
38:43A little sunshine, red wine, and a cuddle.
38:46I absolutely love motorsport.
38:48The sound, the speed, the smells,
38:50just my dream place, I love it.
38:54I dig that.
38:55I'm down with that, the adventurous side.
38:57I suppose if there's a risk element to it,
38:58then I get excited.
39:00The more extreme, the better.
39:01Like growing up in Canada and learning how to snowboard,
39:04I absolutely love that.
39:05The same with ice hockey, you know,
39:06you might lose your teeth during a game, which is great.
39:09I love it.
39:10I love it.
39:11I love it.
39:12I love it.
39:13I love it.
39:14I love it.
39:16I've been single for four years now.
39:18I want independence,
39:19but I also want somebody to be with me,
39:21cheering me on in what I'm doing,
39:23but at the same time I do the same for them.
39:32It's a great question.
39:33My dad inspires me big time.
39:36Definitely.
39:37I think you have to have drive
39:39and I think also as a partner you need to be
39:41that person's biggest cheerleader.
39:42You need to be helping them achieve those goals.
39:45This is not going to be an easy decision.
39:48I don't know. I don't know. I'm torn.
39:59This has been the toughest decision ever,
40:02but the whole goal of this process
40:04is to find a companion, to find a partner.
40:08Do you go for what you want,
40:10maybe what you've always been going for,
40:12or do you go for that something else
40:13that maybe you need in your life?
40:16Dani, I like that she's got this growth mindset
40:19that she wants to get better at things,
40:20but she's not in that space to have kids yet,
40:23whereas Kelly, on the other hand, definitely is.
40:26They both seem like absolute sweethearts.
40:28For me, I've just got to kind of trust my gut on this one.
40:34Let's make this call.
40:38Hello?
40:38Kelly, this is Mike.
40:40Are you excited to move into the house?
40:42Oh, my goodness!
40:44And Mike has an American accent.
40:46Ooh, maybe not American.
40:50Okay, Canadian.
40:51Hey, there we go. There we go.
40:54It's so weird because I have no idea what you look like.
40:57It's the biggest blind date of life.
40:59Yeah.
41:00Mike, you made my day. How does that feel?
41:02Yeah, you made my month.
41:04Well, hopefully you made my month.
41:06I really feel like I've made the right decision.
41:08I mean, Kelly sounds hot, I'm not going to lie.
41:12Now it's just on to that next stage.
41:14I'm looking forward to that.
41:15Or I'm also terrified.
41:21I'm very open about everything.
41:22Oh, are you?
41:23Yeah.
41:24Okay, fair enough.
41:25I have no secrets whatsoever.
41:26Yeah, yeah.
41:27Let me tell you something.
41:28Throughout lockdown, I didn't hook up with anyone.
41:31Yeah.
41:32So that was over a year.
41:34No hookups whatsoever.
41:35Yeah.
41:36Yeah.
41:37And throughout that period, I matured.
41:39I got time to work on myself.
41:40I figured out like, what do I really want in life?
41:43And that's also like one of the reasons why I'm here.
41:45Okay.
41:47And I got to experience like loneliness, proper loneliness.
41:52And that's when I realised, okay, I want to give it a go.
41:54Yeah.
41:55Try if I can have like,

43:57Didn't sleep much.
43:58Who is this person?
43:59Who is this stranger, right?
44:01Am I going to click with this person?
44:05You know, I've got a little bit of insight on Kelly,
44:07but I don't really know who Kelly is.
44:09First impressions are extremely important, right?
44:11You want to set the tone early.
44:13Here we go.
44:13Here we go.
44:14Game time, baby.

44:24She'll be here.
44:28No, we're ready.
44:28Let's go.
44:32Kelly?
44:33No, no.
44:35I think I'm just going to go on there and wing it.
44:37Hi, I'm Mike.
44:44Not Kelly.
44:46I am terrified.
44:50You know, I'm moving in with a girl in a house,
44:53you know, a complete stranger that I've never met.
44:55You're just walking into a situation completely blind.
44:59Talk about suspense.
45:07The day is here.
45:08The time has come.
45:09Let's go.
45:16Hey.
45:17Hi.
45:19You must be Mike.

45:29I'm glad that we're matching.
45:30Yeah, yeah.
45:31Look at the accent.
45:32It's a good one.
45:33I love your accent.
45:34I mean, she's absolutely gorgeous, like a stunner.
45:37Just got these big, beautiful eyes
45:39and just like right away eye contact.
45:43I just thought, oh my God, he looks amazing.
45:46As I got close to him and he just like looked me in the eye
45:48and I thought, oh my goodness.
45:51Yes, thank you.
45:54All this build up to this moment.
45:56We're gonna have fun.
45:57We are gonna have fun.
45:59This is mad, isn't it?
46:00I know, we've got this.
46:01Yeah.
46:02Absolutely.
46:03Go get some food?
46:03Let's, yeah.
46:09You got some, don't worry.
46:10Oh, thank you so much.
46:11You're welcome.
46:12Thank you very much.
46:13Cheers.
46:14Cheers, good to meet you.
46:15You too.
46:17Nice.
46:19There we go.
46:20So you live in Sheffield, right?
46:22I live in Sheffield, originally from Toronto, Canada.
46:26What made you come over here?
46:27So I play basketball.
46:30Do you?
46:31Well, I did play basketball.
46:31Okay.
46:32Yeah.
46:33Okay.
46:34So I played professionally for the Sheffield Sharks
46:35for 13 seasons.
46:37That is so cool.
46:38And I just retired in May.
46:39Wow.
46:44I think you need to try some of this calamari.
46:46Yeah.
46:47Do it.
46:48Watch out.
46:49Here we go.
46:54There you go.
46:55Oh my God.
46:57Good?
46:58Yeah.
46:59You did well.
47:00You're welcome.
47:03This is really good, but it's so big.
47:07That's what she said.
47:07I've been trying.
47:10We're moving tomorrow, right?
47:14I mean, Kelly's super attractive.
47:17There's definitely a spark on that end as well,
47:19but it's, you know, it's early doors.
47:21I don't want to get ahead of myself.
47:23What size shoe are you?
47:25Size 15.
47:2715?
47:32Put big hands.
47:35Can I see?
47:40That's hilarious.
47:43I like it though.
47:44He is very sexy.
47:47You can only hope that he's all in proportion.
47:56What's your thoughts on children?
47:58Definitely want children.
48:00I just turned 40.
48:02No spring chicken.
48:03I want to, you know, I want to lay down some roots.
48:06I would love to start a family within five years
48:12because part of me still feels like I'm 18 years old.
48:15How old are you?
48:17I'm 38.
48:18Okay.
48:19Yeah.
48:19That's good.
48:20We're on the same page.
48:21I know.
48:22I like the page.
48:24Kelly, she kind of knows what she wants.
48:26Eventually wants to settle down
48:27and have a family with the right person.
48:30All like good things in my book so far.
48:36That was so good.
48:36It was delicious.
48:38It was really lovely.
48:39Yeah.
48:40Great choice.
48:40Well done.
48:41You're welcome.
48:42I'll see you tomorrow.
48:43Yeah, it was great to meet you.
48:47See you tomorrow.
48:48Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow.
48:49Sleep well.
48:50Moving in tomorrow.
48:52Big day.
48:53I'm excited about it.
48:54Yeah, I'm happy.
48:56I don't think the first day could have gone any better.
48:59There was not a single part of that day that I didn't enjoy.
49:02It's too good to be true.
49:04He's literally ticking every box.
49:09Next time.
49:10Dating now is really difficult.
49:12It's a mind build out there.
49:13Three more hopefuls.
49:14I'm ready to commit to someone.
49:16Will face the same dilemma.
49:18They both seem very different,
49:19but this is all free text.
49:21Choosing one of two expertly chosen matches.
49:24I'm excited for the first moment to see her.
49:26Hello.
49:27Good to meet you.
49:28Before all six take the bold step
49:30of moving in with their new love interest.
49:33But what neither of the singles
49:35nor their new matches are expecting
49:37is the explosive love triangle twist.
49:40The other girl just texted me.
49:42Oh my God!
