It's the second day of the retreat, and as the couples spend time apart on separate group days out, one husband learns what his wife's been saying about him and their marriage...
Married at First Sight is a ground-breaking series which asks if science can help us fall in love.

Once matched, three highly compatible couples prepare to enter into a legally-binding marriage with a complete stranger - meeting for the very first time at their own wedding where they'll declare 'I do'. But what makes the perfect match? And will everyone make it down the aisle?

FunTranscript
00:00Previously, be proud of me for what I've done so far.
00:04Honestly, you've been brilliant.
00:05Emma's efforts were welcomed by Casper.
00:08But a fiery exchange.
00:10Is it fine for you to lie?
00:12Shattered already fragile relations.
00:14You're a fraud and I've seen through you.
00:16I've lost all respect for you.
00:18I am done.
00:19And a retreat rumour.
00:21She said to Orson, hold my hand, let's make him jealous.
00:24Sharpened divisions for Hannah and Stephen.
00:26Trying to get Orson to hold your hand to try and make me jealous?
00:29She was flirting a little bit.
00:32And opened opportunity for a new connection.
00:35I've got you.
00:38Mm, squeaky bomb time.
00:42Tonight.
00:43It's the lads' day, no one.
00:46As the group split.
00:47I am walking into a lion's den.
00:49For the girls, animosity brews.
00:52This is your chance to explain yourself.
00:53Well, it's not because you've all made your minds up.
00:55The last thing you want to do is get brave.
00:57You're speaking to me like shit.
00:58And she's going about things like a dickhead.
01:00For the boys.
01:01She's done certain things, I think, to get you jealous.
01:03An admission.
01:04I've had a conversation with Hannah last night.
01:07Inflames tension.
01:08She's trying it on with all the other guys.
01:10I think that's a bit unfair.
01:11It is f***ing done.
01:13But it's revealing questions.
01:15Stick with your current partner or twist.
01:18Spicy.
01:19Twist that deals a devastating blow.
01:22The fact that you've gone, I'll switch to Stephen.
01:24He's muggy as f***.
01:26I'm getting better every week and you're still not f***ing happy.
01:31It's just...
01:32It's just shit.
01:33I don't want to lose him.
01:47Oh.
01:48What a sleep.
01:49Proper sleep, that, wasn't it?
01:50Yeah.
01:51It's like the honeymoon suite again.
01:52It is.
01:53But with you in there.
01:56Hi.
01:57Made you a cup of tea, yeah?
01:58Or sugar, it's just the way you like it.
02:00Thank you, chicken.
02:04This is like a champagne breakfast.
02:06Later today, the couples will spend time apart.
02:10Splitting into two groups to enjoy separate boys' and girls' days.
02:14Casper, he's going to teach me how to play backgammon, so...
02:18Badgammon.
02:19Back.
02:20Back.
02:21Gammon.
02:22Gammon.
02:23Like the ham?
02:24Yes.
02:25I don't know what you mean, but you play with, like, chocolate pieces.
02:28Gammon.
02:29Bits of gammon flapping around.
02:34Coffee?
02:35Oh, yeah.
02:36Yeah?
02:37Yeah.
02:38Oat milk latte?
02:39Oat milk latte would be lovely, thank you.
02:40On it.
02:41The retreat's going really, really well with Casper and I.
02:44We are the friendliest and the softest to each other we've ever been.
02:50I'm truly going to use this time until the next commitment ceremony
02:54to relax, lean in and just be more vulnerable.
03:01Emma, how do I release this thing again?
03:03Pull the lever up.
03:04OK, cool.
03:05Emma's been brilliant this week.
03:07I've completely seen a different side of her.
03:10We finally got to a place where we're both actually having fun around each other.
03:13I'm the happiest I've been in the process, knowing that we are making progress.
03:21I feel like with it being, like, a boys' day and a girls' day,
03:24I think the boys are going to have a sick time
03:26and there's going to be a lot of tension on the girls' side about Hannah.
03:29We'll have a ball, but things are going to get stated today
03:32because I think some things need addressing.
03:34She's not giving a good impression to herself.
03:37She's doing lots of little things to not help the position that she's in.
03:41So if she thinks that she's genuinely done nothing wrong, then that's a problem.
03:45You're not going to have a good dynamic with the girls
03:47if you're coming in saying you're going to steal people's man and rubbing it over.
03:51Yeah, what does that mean?
03:52Stephen even said that she's not even bothered to text or ring him
03:55since we've been here to say, like, do you want to go for a walk,
03:58do you want to do this, do you want to come home?
04:00Trying to get Austen to hold your hands, try and make me jealous.
04:03We were taking the piss.
04:05Since the last commitment ceremony,
04:07Hannah's actions towards some of the husbands has come under fire.
04:11After the commitment ceremony, when Stephen was walking towards her,
04:14she said to Austen,
04:16and she was rubbing Ryan's feet in front of Shannon.
04:20She's been super flirty with you.
04:22Do you think you would pull up on it?
04:25Potentially.
04:28At the end of the day, I don't like two-faced people
04:32and I don't like fake behaviour, so...
04:35I think today's a good chance for all the girls to get everything off the chest.
04:38Definitely.
04:39Just not in a horrible way.
04:41Depends if she's going to be open to what we're going to say.
04:44I would not want to get on the end of pollen hole.
04:49I'm so excited to mingle with all the girls
04:51and get to know everyone a little bit better.
04:53I feel like I've not really had a chance to speak to everyone properly yet.
04:57Is that because of Hannah? A bit?
04:59A little bit. I'm trying to protect her, I think.
05:02I'm not that kind of person to stare at the pot.
05:05But then I notice things.
05:07And I know her and Austen.
05:11That might be something. What do you think?
05:13I have got the vibe as well.
05:15Is it? There you go. I feel like there is something.
05:19Just the way he looks at her sometimes.
05:21I'm like...
05:23He looks at her, like, in that kind of way?
05:25A little bit. I've only seen, like, brief little glances.
05:29Maybe a new connection might form on this retreat, then.
05:34Talking of the devil.
05:36Hey, honey.
05:39Thank you so much.
05:44Hi, Gorge. There she is.
05:46How are you feeling about spending time with the girls today?
05:50Really nervous. Yeah?
05:53I've got a feeling that everyone's now kind of got it in for me.
05:56Don't walk in with your guard up.
05:58There's so much easier said than done.
06:00Yeah, I know, but just remember, calm.
06:04Like, I spoke to Austen last night,
06:06and to be fair, that was such a good chat.
06:08Like, he's so funny.
06:10He was like, you're amazing.
06:12You need to rate yourself,
06:13and you need to not let a guy, like, bring you down,
06:15because you came into this so open and so confident,
06:18and you need to bring yourself back to that person,
06:20which I massively appreciated him saying to me.
06:24Half of me is like, do you know what?
06:26My relationship's done, it's dead,
06:27and we need to take this ring off, to be honest.
06:29Is there an opportunity here
06:31for potentially a connection with someone else?
06:34Me and Stephen, I feel like I've kept trying.
06:36I've been messaging him and trying to check in with him.
06:39I've tried my absolute hardest,
06:41and I'm being hit with a brick wall.
06:43I feel like the combo with Austen last night was really good.
06:46He's a good guy, we get on really well,
06:48and it's nice to have that vibe with someone.
06:52Don't forget, you've come into this to meet somebody...
06:55Yeah. ..that you click with.
06:57You didn't come here to have a girl...
06:59I didn't want to make friends, yeah. ..a spa date.
07:01I mean, it was a spa date, but what is this?
07:03What's he going to do by going and chatting to the girls?
07:05Chat, chat, chat, chat? Yeah, you're right.
07:08I get it.
07:12BEEPING
07:17Oh, hello.
07:18I haven't seen Austen today.
07:20It was never going to be a good retreat for us.
07:24I don't really know what I'm supposed to do
07:26with somebody who can't communicate
07:30like one would expect of a 41-year-old.
07:34You haven't seen Austen? Well, not since yesterday.
07:37I just don't understand why he wanted to stay.
07:42Talk me through how your week has been.
07:44At the commitment ceremony,
07:46Austen's honesty came as a shock to Rochelle.
07:49She said, like, Austen, you don't really stimulate me mentally.
07:54I feel something in me that just maybe switched off a little bit.
07:58I mean, this is the first I'm hearing
08:00that me saying that made him switch off.
08:03You hadn't brought that up.
08:06I do feel a little bit irritated with Austen.
08:09I stayed in the process when he knew I didn't want to
08:12and I sacrificed my daughter's birthday for that cretin.
08:17If he doesn't feel comfortable communicating with me,
08:20he waited until he got on the couch to say what he was feeling.
08:23Now we're here and we've got a whole retreat to get through.
08:28I found him to be disingenuous and that remains the same,
08:32so I prefer to just keep my distance.
08:34I'm definitely having a nice time by myself.
08:37At least it's Girl's Day.
08:39Yeah, yeah, exactly.
08:41Oh, dear.
08:43How's it going with you and him?
08:45I've been, you know, I've been trying.
08:49I've softened up to him a bit, yeah.
08:52So you do fancy being intimate with him now?
08:54Yeah.
08:57See if I can snug him.
08:59So you want to give him a kiss?
09:01Well, I don't... No, we need to plan this.
09:04Maybe a little compliment.
09:06You're looking really handsome today, Casper.
09:08I almost feel like kissing you. Could I give you a little kiss?
09:11Yeah, just like... Yeah, yeah.
09:13I mean, and if he says no, do you know what I mean?
09:16Yeah, then the dream's over, yeah.
09:18But I don't think he would.
09:20I don't think he would.
09:23Yeah, OK, I'll try and do it today.
09:25And then, before you know it, come next commitment ceremony,
09:28it'll be right and stay.
09:30I feel like the relationship maybe could take a step
09:33towards the intimacy level.
09:35Like, I feel like we're getting on really well
09:37and maybe he just needs to relax into it.
09:47Boys' Day!
09:48Well done!
09:49There we go. There we go.
09:51Can't wait for Boys' Day today.
09:52I feel like no matter what gets thrown at us,
09:54positive or negative, we're all really close-knit groups,
09:57so I think we'll just respect everyone's opinions,
09:59we'll have a laugh about it and we'll move on.
10:01Cheers to Lads' Day!
10:05Cheers, guys.
10:11I am walking into a lion's den.
10:15I feel absolutely on edge.
10:18There's a lot of whispers and there's a lot of people
10:20going behind my back and no-one's actually come
10:22and said anything to my face, which is just pathetic to me.
10:27Cheers!
10:29So, is everyone enjoying the retreat?
10:33It is stunning.
10:34The venue is, like, perfect.
10:36Little lodges, cosy, the fire.
10:40Good vibes. Good vibes.
10:44Is it good vibes, though?
10:47I wouldn't say it's all good vibes.
10:51I mean, I think we should just address the elephant in the room.
10:54I'm not here for being two-faced,
10:56I'd rather just say things as they are.
10:58Mm-hm.
10:59We don't want you to feel excluded at all.
11:01No, not at all. I do, but that's fine.
11:03But you've done that to yourself, though.
11:09I just feel like the girls don't like me.
11:12Yes, I can handle it,
11:13but I don't feel like this is going to go well for me.
11:15I cannot be arsed with people not taking accountability
11:17for their behaviour.
11:18Take accountability for your actions. Yeah.
11:21So, this is your chance to explain yourself.
11:29I'm not here for being two-faced,
11:31I'd rather just say things as they are.
11:33Mm-hm.
11:34We don't want you to feel excluded at all.
11:37No, not at all. I do, but that's fine.
11:39But you've done that to yourself, though.
11:44I cannot be arsed with people not taking accountability
11:46for their behaviour.
11:47Take accountability for your actions. Yeah.
11:51I'm not here for being two-faced,
11:53I'd rather just say things as they are.
11:55Mm-hm.
11:57So, this is your chance to explain yourself.
11:59Well, it's not, cos you've all made your minds up.
12:01No, we haven't. We haven't. You have.
12:03No, we haven't, Hannah.
12:05There's just been things that have been said
12:07and some comments that have been made.
12:09It looks fucking shady.
12:12Alex telling me that, like, you're not on.
12:15When he was closing the door,
12:17you, like, kind of leapt round the door and was like,
12:19Alex, you're my favourite guy.
12:21Alex has actually been really supportive.
12:23That's cute.
12:26See, what's the little snide comment?
12:28It's just cute, like, I'm trying to address something with you
12:30because I'm pissed off.
12:31But you've asked me a question and I'm giving you the answer.
12:33But it's not just one person's man, is it, Hannah?
12:35Do you want the answer or not?
12:37We'll address everything that I feel like is a threat
12:40and then we'll move from that.
12:42I'm not going to sit here and get every single person
12:44to tell me what they don't like about me.
12:46I'll tell you. No, I'm going to tell you.
12:49If a girl had come and sat in a room with me and my husband,
12:53rubbed his foot and told him his eyes were nice,
12:55I'd be raging with you, Hannah.
12:57Sorry, who's this?
12:58And had a riot.
12:59You were stalking Ryan's feet.
13:01I wanted to see if his ugg had fluff in it.
13:04Ryan said it wasn't his shoe you were touching,
13:06you were stalking the bottom of his foot.
13:08Can it touch his foot?
13:10Fucking hell, this shit is pathetic.
13:13It all seems very playful.
13:15It's pathetic.
13:17It all seems very playground to me.
13:19Every single thing is being misinterpreted and twisted
13:23and that's what's pissing me off.
13:26Oh, for fuck's sake.
13:28This is pathetic.
13:30Touch someone's shoe, get a grip.
13:34Everything has been done in, like, banter and, like,
13:36I'm trying to have a bit of a laugh with people.
13:38I've had a shit experience from the day I got here.
13:40I get that, but you don't need to start doing that
13:42with other people's men. Just let me speak.
13:44How do you think that makes me feel?
13:46It's fucking horrible.
13:48Don't start getting muggy, then.
13:50Do not start speaking to people like that.
13:52The last thing you want to do is get brave.
13:57You're threatening me.
13:58I'm not threatening you.
13:59The last thing you want to do when we're getting like this
14:01with you is start being muggy to someone.
14:03But you've asked me a question, so let me answer it.
14:05A conversation is two people speaking.
14:07Oh, I'm not... You're speaking to me like shit.
14:09No, Hannah, come back.
14:15She needs to remain respectful to our marriages.
14:18Us girls have a sixth sense,
14:19and we know when a girl's being shady.
14:22There's no way I'm sitting there and getting fucking attacked.
14:25There's no way. I'm not doing it.
14:26They're all speaking to me like shit. I'm not doing it.
14:29That was a bit of an attack.
14:32She can't sit there acting like an angel
14:34when she's the one that's isolated herself,
14:36she's made people feel uncomfortable,
14:38and she's going about things like a dickhead.
14:40I ain't sitting in there. There's no way.
14:42Yeah, I don't like that.
14:43I couldn't even speak.
14:45You're asking me questions and you're not letting me answer.
14:47It's like three fucking sisters of fucking Eastwick
14:50coming at me, all sat in front of me.
14:52I'm not doing that. There's no way I'm doing that.
14:54I'm not sitting there being fucking attacked. I'm not.
14:56She's not come to any of us to sort things out.
14:58She might have got round to that if we hadn't have said,
15:01let's address the elephant in the room,
15:03you've been flirting with all the husbands.
15:05She hasn't done anything to help the situation that she's in.
15:07We haven't given her a chance.
15:09I'm surprised she didn't walk out earlier, to be honest.
15:11Yeah. Like, that was an attack.
15:13If I was on the receiving end of that,
15:15I would feel like these girls fucking hate me.
15:18I'll speak to Hannah on her own, then.
15:20Yeah, I think that's probably... I'll speak to her.
15:23It's a load of shit.
15:25But we've all said we don't want her to be alienated,
15:28and that is really alienating.
15:30Why am I going out of my way to make sure she's all right
15:32when she's fucking cracking on with Orson and Ryan?
15:34Why would I do that?
15:36It's not on.
15:38She can't act like that and expect us
15:40not to have the reaction that we do with her.
15:42I'm sorry, but you can't.
15:43I think it's just trying to give her an opportunity to apologise.
15:46But instead of apologising, Shannon, all she does is get defensive.
15:52Fucking swear at me and threaten me.
15:54Polly, she's threatened me.
15:56Fucking threatened me. No way.
15:58I ain't doing that. No, thank you.
16:00I feel like maybe a conversation needs to be had, like, one-on-one.
16:03Hannah, can I speak to you one-on-one,
16:05so it doesn't come across like an attack?
16:07It does just come...
16:08Right, let me speak to you one-on-one, then.
16:10Well, that's a bit exaggerated. I want to speak to you as a woman.
16:13That's why I've come out here to speak to you,
16:15so you're not in an intimidating situation.
16:17Stay calm and make sure you stay and speak to her, yeah?
16:19Yeah. Yeah?
16:21Obviously, over the last few days, Hannah,
16:23as a new girl coming in, you don't step on toes.
16:26I don't think I have stepped on toes.
16:28Right, OK. I think things have been blown out of proportion.
16:31So, obviously, you've said to Orson,
16:33can I hold your hand to make Stephen jealous?
16:35I'm just having a bit of banter. But that's a little bit childish.
16:38It's not. We're all grown women.
16:40It's just, like, little things.
16:42Like, Alex is coming to me, saying...
16:44She's leaning round the door, saying, like, you're my favourite guy.
16:49I just don't like disrespectful girls.
16:51Like, I have been in relationships where girls...
16:53You don't know me. You don't know me. I'm not a disrespectful girl.
16:56But you don't know how situations are, Ros.
16:59But I've not been disrespectful, I've had fun
17:01and I've tried to have some banter with some people.
17:03It's like, fuck with people's guys.
17:09I'm not going to sit there and get attacked by a group of girls.
17:12OK. I've got nothing more to say.
17:14I'm wasting my time.
17:16I don't like her attitude or a face that screams attitude.
17:19It's just a sly behaviour.
17:27You all right, babe? Yeah.
17:30I've done, I've said what I need to say. OK.
17:33What does she say?
17:35Basically, like, it's all bullshit, but now it's coming from somewhere.
17:46Nath, what's going on?
17:48To be honest, it's all been going quite the same as usual.
17:50Just, like, dancing around the lodge and that.
17:52You literally haven't had a single problem with Nacy yet?
17:55No, no, no. So, not really.
17:58Like, if I ever get any issues or whatever, I'll just address it to her
18:01and she listens and then it's reciprocated.
18:04That's pretty much it.
18:06Stephen, where are you at?
18:09My mindset right now, what she did to me personally is disrespectful.
18:14What have you done to try and get it to work?
18:16It was constant conversations, but every time we tried making it work,
18:20it just turned into a toxic-as-hell argument.
18:23I was willing to try this week.
18:26I called her out on the respect thing at the commitment ceremony.
18:30A little bit after that, we're hearing all this stuff about awesome.
18:33And you. Not you, that sounds like you did something.
18:36No, no, no. You know what I'm saying?
18:38She said she wants to stay and make it work.
18:40When I said, leave, I said, I'll try.
18:42She's gone and done that again and disrespected me.
18:44She's trying to antagonise you? Yeah, yeah.
18:46No-one is perfect in life and we've all done things that we shouldn't have been done.
18:49I do think she does like you, because she's done certain things,
18:52I think, to get you jealous.
18:54Is there any possible way that you could sit down with her still
18:58and maybe have a conversation?
19:00I get what you're saying. I respect, like, people want to see it work out,
19:03but what she did is disrespectful.
19:05I've had a conversation with Hannah.
19:07Had a conversation with her last night.
19:12She's trying it on with all the other guys,
19:14putting the energy in with that, rather than the person she says she wants to make it work.
19:17Sorry, I think that's a bit unfair. It's not, mate.
19:19No, that's unfair.
19:21It wasn't anything of her trying it on with me or whatever.
19:23I'm telling you, Stephen, it wasn't that deep.
19:26But given the disrespect thing that I called her out on previously,
19:29she's still going to do that.
19:31This is an experiment based on meeting someone
19:34and marrying them at first sight.
19:36It's not a fucking swingers' club.
19:41I don't think at this point anything Hannah's done is with good intention.
19:44After everything that's gone on,
19:46she's not getting that time of day from me again.
19:49It is fucking done.
19:57You know I will, you know I will.
20:02What do you see on your drive home?
20:05Do you see my face in the neighbor's lawn?
20:09Does she smile or does she mouth fuck you forever?
20:15Every time you call me crazy, I get more crazy.
20:19What about that?
20:22And when you say I seem angry, I get more angry.
20:26And there's nothing like a mad woman.
20:29What a shame she went mad.
20:32No one likes a mad woman.
20:35You made her like that.
20:39And you pulled that back so the claws go out.
20:43And you fucked up and wrapped your noose around.
20:46And there's nothing like a mad woman.
20:51Now I breathe flames each time I talk.
20:54My cannons all firing at your yacht.
20:58They say...
21:11You OK, hun?
21:13Sorry about that.
21:15That was a lot.
21:16I know.
21:18I appreciate you coming out.
21:20I've told them off for that.
21:21I don't think you've got through to anyone, but I appreciate that.
21:23No, I think I have a little bit.
21:25But you're asking me questions and then you're not letting me answer it.
21:28Let me answer it.
21:29Because every single answer I've got for every single question is,
21:32this is pathetic.
21:34If you're insecure about someone being around your husband,
21:36that's your problem, not mine.
21:37Don't throw that at me.
21:38I know, I know.
21:39That's not my problem.
21:40The way you speak is quite sharp and very direct.
21:44And that can come across to these girls as attacking
21:49the same way their language comes across as attacking to you.
21:52Like, it goes two ways.
21:54I can see both sides of the story, hun.
21:57I do want to speak to Shannon because I don't want to hurt Shannon
21:59because I think Shannon's lovely.
22:00I don't give a shit about the rest of them.
22:04Look, let's draw a line under it.
22:07Let's have a nice girls' day.
22:09I'm not going to go in for a bit.
22:10I'm going to just chill for ten minutes.
22:11Just going to chill, all right?
22:12Yeah, you do you. Have fun.
22:13And then I'll come and cause a storm again.
22:20You OK?
22:22Yeah, yeah, she's all right.
22:24She's all right. Where are you? She's, like...
22:27Yeah, she just feels like she's been attacked.
22:30But can we draw, like, can we maybe just be amicable to her?
22:35I feel like her whole attitude's got to change, though.
22:37If her attitude don't change and she sits there with her face up...
22:40She's loosened up a bit.
22:41..it's going to be very difficult to sit here
22:43and try and be chirpy with her.
22:45I want to find out how his date went yesterday with Emma.
22:49Like, how was that?
22:50I heard you had a hot date.
22:52Come on, son, give me the tea.
22:55We went bike riding, which was really nice,
22:57and then we had a picnic, chilling out.
23:00It was nice, really good.
23:01Any kissing?
23:02No.
23:03We're just getting to a place which we haven't been in for weeks,
23:07cos Emma's softened slightly.
23:10And we actually have started having a bit more sort of banter and laughs
23:13this week, which has helped.
23:15So, I mean, we'll see where we get to by the next commitment ceremony
23:19and we'll see where my head's at.
23:21I'm just going to try and snog him at one point.
23:24Yes, just grab him.
23:27Maybe after the girls' trip today, say, come here, you.
23:30Bit of Dutch courage.
23:32Are you aware of a motorboat?
23:34Would you like me to show you what one is?
23:36Are you aware of a motorboat?
23:38Would you like me to show you what one is?
23:40I think he'd be ever so scared.
23:43Have you never kissed, though?
23:45We've pecked on the lips, but not since the honeymoon.
23:49Is that it? Yeah, yeah.
23:52I feel like you need to do what I've done with Adam, which is,
23:55I understand that your head is where it's at.
23:57However, if we don't start doing this, when it comes to it,
24:00it's going to be weird. Yeah.
24:02You just need to do it.
24:06Adam's only now making progress from week two.
24:09The sex thing's now over and done with.
24:11Great. Thanks fucking God for that.
24:15But it's the PDA thing,
24:17and that's what's making me get my emotional wall up.
24:20But hopefully we can get there.
24:28Can I just borrow you a minute?
24:37Are you OK? I'm good. Are you all right?
24:40Not really. That was a lot.
24:42I think, genuinely, I think out of everyone here,
24:46like, I've hurt you, it actually kills me,
24:48like, genuinely, like, I feel really bad.
24:52I don't want you to feel bad.
24:55I think it was just because...
24:57It was just, like, fuck, like, I don't want this.
25:01I tried to just be, like, what?
25:04I tried to just be, like, whatever. Yeah.
25:06And then when people brought it to me,
25:08like, that was what got my back up.
25:10They're not my kind of people, like, they're not,
25:12and I'm OK with it, but knowing that I hurt you,
25:14like, genuinely really upsets me.
25:16For me, like, just to kind of put my point across
25:19so I can kind of put it to bed,
25:21I don't see boys and girls differently,
25:23but I can appreciate and I get that for some people
25:26that's wrong and I appreciate that,
25:28and maybe I think that's something I maybe need to learn,
25:30and I get that.
25:32I would never try and take someone's husband off them.
25:34I'm not a dickhead.
25:36But if it's come across like that, I am sorry.
25:39That honestly, like, that was all I was looking for.
25:43She pissed me off a little bit, honestly.
25:45I'm so sorry.
25:46I think most people would be annoyed
25:48that she was flirting with her man,
25:50but she knows that she's done wrong,
25:54and I have given her the benefit of the doubt.
25:57Got my apology.
25:59Like, back to girls' day.
26:02Good fights only.
26:05The atmosphere is not pleasant for me at all.
26:09I'm getting to a point where I don't feel like
26:11I can trust anybody in this process.
26:21What's this?
26:26Oh!
26:31Inside this envelope is a set of questions
26:33designed to help you evaluate your own relationship
26:36and those of the rest of the group.
26:40Answering these questions openly and honestly
26:43will help you to identify and overcome areas
26:45of your vulnerability in your marriage.
26:48Love, Mel, Paul and Charlene.
26:51Honesty, guys.
26:53Lads, lads, no cop-out with these questions.
26:55I want the honest truth from everyone.
26:58Who do you think is the sexiest wife?
27:01Fuck that.
27:04Sasha, for me.
27:15Are you OK over there?
27:22Probably have to say Lacey.
27:23But you probably knew that, didn't you?
27:25That's fair, fair.
27:27I'd say probably Shannon.
27:29She'd be my type outside of here.
27:33I'll say Shannon.
27:36I'm telling you, I'm wifey.
27:39I can smell wifey, can't I?
27:41Sasha, 100%.
27:44Amy?
27:45Yeah.
27:47I'm surprised not many people said Amy, actually.
27:51In Malta, we say all of the parts of the cow sell.
27:53Some people like the tail, some like the hoof.
27:56Because if everybody liked the fillet,
27:58you'd waste half of the cow.
28:01I guess every girl has her qualities in this group.
28:04I think Amy.
28:10For me, he's...
28:11Luke is the sexiest thing I've ever seen in my life.
28:14Like, I could just touch him all day,
28:17like his little face, his little hair,
28:19his arms, his...
28:21I love that.
28:27My usual type would probably be Nathan.
28:30Yeah.
28:31He's a pretty boy, isn't he?
28:32Yeah, he's a pretty boy.
28:34Obviously, Nathan's fucking fit, mate.
28:37Like, I've hit the jackpot there.
28:38But, you know, the sexiest as well is either Ryan or Luke.
28:44I'm going to say Ryan.
28:46He has got a gorgeous man.
28:48I honestly think Ryan is the sexiest, like...
28:51What's that cue, girl?
28:52Just looks at me with those blue eyes.
28:54Oh, Sam! Back to eyelashes.
28:58I find my husband the sexiest anyway.
29:01Yeah.
29:02And I know the game is,
29:03but if you didn't choose your groom, who would it be?
29:07But I'm not going to play it,
29:09because if I find out that Ryan said any of the other girls
29:12I'm flipping tables.
29:13So...
29:14Ross.
29:15Ross.
29:28Sash, it's fine.
29:29You love your man, and that's all that matters.
29:32Ryan is today.
29:35Oh, my God.
29:37No, I don't fancy Ryan.
29:39Ryan was just at the forefront of my mind,
29:41because I've heard his name so much.
29:43I didn't mean Ryan, I meant Ross.
29:45It's R&R.
29:50I would probably say Alex.
29:53We have a bit of a banter.
30:00He's definitely my type on paper,
30:02and his missus is coming back with all her bullshit
30:04and ruining my day,
30:05so I'm just going to blindside you with a bombshell.
30:10I mean, that's fine, babe,
30:11but don't compete where you don't compare.
30:19I would say Stephen.
30:22Yeah, I'd say Stephen's the sexiest.
30:26You've known the guy for three days.
30:27Like, whatever.
30:30All this tit-for-tat.
30:31It all just feels very petty and very childish,
30:33and it just feels like I'm in a playground.
30:36Who do you think is the funniest husband?
30:38Hands down, Kieran.
30:40Kieran.
30:41Completely agree.
30:42I'm not going to lie, I'm going to say Kieran.
30:45He's funny with strumming his little thing.
30:49I'm going to say Kieran,
30:50but Nathan's my very, very, very close second.
30:53And you, your man, or...?
30:55She does say Kieran, yeah.
30:57Me and Kieran, we literally can just look at each other
31:01and just erupt into laughter.
31:03He's my guy.
31:05Aw!
31:11What is the biggest weakness in your marriage?
31:15The biggest weakness in my marriage
31:17is that the respect has been lost.
31:20And trust.
31:22To me, once those two things are gone, it's a wrap.
31:25Goodnight.
31:27I think, for me, it's no initial spark.
31:29I think having that makes it a lot easier
31:31to get through a lot of the bumps and hurdles and stuff like that.
31:35My biggest weakness is probably just the way I am,
31:37as in, like, I don't express my feelings,
31:39I don't talk about them, I don't do PDA.
31:42But that's just something I'm learning,
31:44and it's just how I am at the minute,
31:46and eventually it will come, hopefully.
31:48Takes time. Takes time, man.
31:54Name the husband who is making the least amount of effort
31:58and the husband who is making the least amount of effort.
32:02And the husband who is making the most amount of effort.
32:06And why?
32:08Let's just make a collective...
32:10No, no, no, wait. We know you.
32:12Let's make a point of not digging Stephen out,
32:14cos that's not fair. Do you know what I mean?
32:17So let's not all bombard that.
32:19I don't know who else to say.
32:21Apart from Stephen.
32:24I feel like maybe let's have an open discussion about it.
32:27Does anyone here feel like
32:30he should have made more effort, or do you think he's right?
32:33I appreciate it's really fucking awkward for you guys,
32:36but I feel like if you both can just give that little bit in,
32:42then I really hope that...
32:44I've done that, though.
32:46I genuinely feel like Amy can probably vouch for me here.
32:49He does owe you a conversation. I've tried every single day.
32:52Even a couple of the boys have tried.
32:55It's clear to see that she's clocked out from Stephen
32:58as much as she's trying to blag that she's not.
33:00It's such a shame that such a good man has been brought into this
33:03and has been put with someone like Hannah.
33:05I'm very much Team Stephen.
33:11Who in the group is the least genuine?
33:17It's no surprise, I think, Hannah.
33:22I'm not going to sit here and lie to you about it.
33:24There are some things that have made me question
33:26whether you're genuine.
33:27The comments that have been made,
33:29and obviously your behaviour towards some people,
33:31I would say that you are the least genuine.
33:36Hannah?
33:37I'm not going to answer the question,
33:39just because I'm trying to keep my head down a little bit
33:41and I'm not comfortable answering it.
33:43But part of the experiment is to be honest and genuine.
33:46Say exactly how you feel.
33:48I didn't really have an answer, but the fact that Polly just said me,
33:51I'd probably reiterate it back to you.
33:57I question Orson's authenticity, from what I know.
34:03Thank you. From what I've spoken to you.
34:05Thank you, Emma.
34:07I am going to say Orson.
34:10I'm also going to say Orson.
34:13What you said on the couch would have been a massive red flag for me.
34:17Finally! Some validation.
34:20Orson's a good guy, a really good guy.
34:23I don't like hearing people saying he's not genuine
34:25because I've only ever had nothing but respect for Orson.
34:28He's been really supportive of me.
34:30He's had my back from the beginning, so it feels quite unfair.
34:33I think Rochelle is a little bit to blame as well.
34:38What one thing do you wish you had in your own marriage
34:41that you admire in another couple's marriage?
34:43That's quite cute, actually. A husband that likes you.
34:46Next!
34:48Nathan and Lacey.
34:50With the PDA, it might be nice.
34:54Nathan isn't scared to show you and tell you in front of people
34:57how he feels and show you that you're loved
35:00and that you're gorgeous, and I wish that I had that.
35:09I would say Roche and Sash.
35:11The way they look at each other,
35:13the way they bring out the best in each other.
35:16It's what you want. Yeah, I love it, man.
35:18I love it. I'm here for it.
35:21I think something that I admire...
35:24..you and Kieran just have this, like, radiance.
35:27Like, you just light up a room,
35:29and I think it's the sweetest thing ever,
35:31and I love watching us together.
35:33Thank you. Thank you. Really appreciate that.
35:38If you could stick with your current partner or twist to another wife,
35:42would you stick or twist?
35:44If you would twist, who would it be and why?
35:47Oh, my God. Spicy!
35:49I wouldn't twist and go with somebody else's wife.
35:51It's just not me. It's not in me.
35:53Honestly, I'd stick with where I'm at.
35:56She's really trying this week.
35:58I think I would stay as well.
36:00I think you've come in it to marry one person,
36:02why would you switch to someone else?
36:04You've got to see it out till the end, and if it don't work, leave.
36:07Sounds bizarre, probably just stick it out,
36:09cos all your relationships are class,
36:11and I ain't going to fucking attempt to try to twist any of that shit.
36:14So I'd stick.
36:17I would stick with mine.
36:19I just feel like I give Christina what she needs.
36:22She needs patience.
36:23These two are suited very well as well.
36:25And she needs someone understanding.
36:27Believe that I'm, no offence to any of you,
36:29but I'm the guy in here that's meant to be with Christina.
36:32Absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure.
36:36I'm obsessed with my husband, I think that's quite clear to see,
36:39and I've never had a man try and understand me as much as Kieran has.
36:44He has wanted to learn every inch about my mind, body and soul,
36:48and no-one has ever wanted to do that before,
36:51so I'm so grateful for this man in my life.
36:54Love that baby girl.
36:56Kieran!
36:58We love you, Kieran!
37:00I just want to answer mine, stick, easily.
37:02Good girl.
37:04I'm also a big stick. Yeah, he's my man.
37:06I'm head over heels.
37:08Oh, baby girl!
37:10100% stick, I'm in love.
37:12Couldn't ask for any more!
37:14We came here for love, we got it!
37:16Hey!
37:21I would stick.
37:23Alex has shown me that not every relationship is perfect.
37:26We're going to have blazing rows,
37:28but we're going to have good days as well.
37:31How about you, babe?
37:33Erm, I'd probably say Alex.
37:35So you'd twist with Alex?
37:37Because, on paper, he's probably my type.
37:40The way that he's tried to kind of take me under his wing a little bit.
37:43And I think he's been really quite supportive, so I would say Alex.
37:50Pearl, stick or twist?
37:52Twist.
37:54Really?
37:58Steven.
38:02It goes back to what he's like as a person,
38:06his looks, his values.
38:08His looks, his values, his morals.
38:13You had a lot of chats then? Yeah.
38:16I feel like he could give me what I've wanted from Adam,
38:20as much as I do adore Adam and respect Adam.
38:23But at this moment in time,
38:25Steven does come across like he would be able to give me what Adam can't.
38:32That is what is making me say twist.
38:35Holly is getting a bit gobby.
38:37She said that she would twist to Steven
38:39as opposed to sticking to her own husband.
38:42Adam probably needs to watch his back a little bit.
38:56We want all the goss!
38:58So do I. Tell us everything!
39:00Having spent the day apart,
39:02the husbands and wives are reuniting back in their cabins.
39:08Some wine? Yes, we've got some.
39:15Evening. Hello.
39:17How was your day?
39:19Wild.
39:22Tonight, I'm looking forward to chilling with Casper.
39:25I'm ready to show my cute flirtatious self.
39:30I bet you there was way more drama at yours than mine.
39:33Tell me about yours first.
39:36Well, I mean, the boys got on, you know, as you would expect.
39:40I mean, relatively tame.
39:42The girls went in. On Hannah?
39:45It was like a lion's den.
39:48So, any surprising answers in your sense?
39:51Any surprising answers?
39:54We had, what do you think is missing in your marriage?
39:57What do you say?
39:59I'd say the original spark would have been really great.
40:02Yeah. Between us.
40:04I'm ready for a kiss now.
40:06We probably need a snog in order to maybe take the intimacy further.
40:13Try and, like, ease my way in.
40:16To see how it goes.
40:19But we're developing this week.
40:21We are developing. We are having a better week. We are.
40:24Little spark.
40:27I think I've been a bit more fun this week.
40:29Yeah, you've been in the country. A little bit.
40:31We've relaxed. We've had a couple of drinks.
40:35The mood lighting's here.
40:38I feel like it's a bit more romantic, you know?
40:41I've softened up to you, Casper.
40:43I'm ready. I'm yours.
40:48As Rochelle said, just go in for it.
40:51Casper, you're looking really good tonight.
40:56Casper, I think you look really good tonight.
41:00I'm wearing a jumper and jeans.
41:02I think you look really handsome tonight.
41:11I'd really like to kiss you. Would it be OK if I kissed you?
41:15I'd really like to kiss you. Would it be OK if I kissed you?
41:22What about a snog?
41:25I'll lean in a little bit.
41:27Yeah.
41:29See what happens. We'll go from there.
41:45I didn't think Emma was the person for me.
41:48However, now there is a chance and there's something there.
41:53There is a snog on the cards.
41:56Yeah, I think it could happen.
42:04So what happened? You what?
42:06I got ambushed, stormed about.
42:08She did actually get attacked.
42:10It was a lot. So Lacey, Holly and Holly sat there,
42:14like, fucking opposite me and went for me.
42:16You've done this, you've done that.
42:18You've tried it on with this husband, you tried it on with that husband.
42:21Everyone came at me. It was uncomfortable. It was horrible.
42:24Most of the guys were actually saying to Stephen
42:27that he should push and try to...
42:30Do you feel like you got through to him?
42:32Well... No.
42:34I don't know.
42:36I'm very open to having a conversation with Stephen,
42:38I've put in 100% effort for the last two weeks.
42:40I've got nothing left. Listen to me. I've got nothing left.
42:43If he wants to talk to me, I will 100% give him the time of day.
42:46I am so open to having a conversation with him.
42:48I have been for two weeks.
42:50So if anyone can get through to him and he wants to sit with me
42:53and have a chat, I will 100% do that.
42:56Let's leave it there.
43:00Polly said if you could stick or twist, she said I'd twist for Stephen.
43:05Did she? Mm-hm. Is she not happy?
43:08She's not getting enough from Adam, I don't think.
43:11I feel like Stephen's come in and she's had a conversation with Stephen
43:15and she's... She said I fancy him.
43:18..and she's also seen things in Stephen that he could give her
43:21that she's been looking for that Adam doesn't give to her.
43:30What were your questions?
43:32Who's the sexiest? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which was?
43:35I said Lacey.
43:37Which you would know.
43:41So, down to the big question, when you got asked,
43:44what was it, switch or... Switch?
43:47What did you two say first?
43:49I said I'd stay with my partner.
43:52I feel like Alex has actually shown me, like,
43:55what a real relationship should work like.
43:57What did you say?
44:00I said ain't no switching going on, cos I'm not that guy.
44:03Mm. Straight on.
44:06What did you say?
44:08What do you think I said?
44:10You'd be silly to put twist, wouldn't you?
44:13I did say twist.
44:15No, you didn't say twist. I did.
44:17No, she didn't.
44:19You said twist. Yeah, I did.
44:21Go on, then. Stephen.
44:23No, you didn't. Yes, I did!
44:25Polly. You said you'd twist to Stephen.
44:27Yes. Polly. That's bad, that is.
44:29Why is that bad? Why would you twist?
44:31Because he would give me more than what you've given me.
44:34Do you not think that's fair to say?
44:36Because he's had a little bit of flirty banter? Yeah!
44:39Because you don't get a fucking kiss in the street
44:42or a howl in hand? Yes.
44:44Fuck off!
44:47No! You don't swap husbands
44:49because you don't get a kiss on the cheek in the street.
44:52I'm not saying that I want to fucking shack up with Stephen.
44:55I want to be with you. I've made that very clear.
44:58I said if Stephen was...
45:00If Adam was how Stephen was, Adam would be perfect.
45:03It's like me saying, if you looked like Lacey, you'd be perfect.
45:06Right, OK, that's fair enough. That would upset you, no?
45:08No, it would upset me. It would upset me.
45:10Same difference. I'm being honest.
45:12I'm being honest. Yeah, but I...
45:14You are everything, listen.
45:16But I've said... You are everything.
45:18I've said Lacey's the fittest, yeah,
45:20but that don't mean I want to swap her for you,
45:22because I'm with you now.
45:25You used to have a conversation.
45:29I understand how you are and I understand your fucking thought process.
45:32You don't understand it well enough because you want to switch.
45:35The fact that in a group you've gone,
45:37I'll switch to Stephen... So what difference is that?
45:39..is more than youse four.
45:41That's just savage.
45:43I've done everything for you.
45:45It's been three fucking weeks.
45:47No, but this is what I'm saying. I'm getting better every week
45:49and you're still not fucking happy.
45:55I'm sorry.
46:04That was a lot, Paul.
46:07Yeah.
46:09Come here.
46:15It's just... Oh, it's just shit.
46:25I'm really scared that that's going to put him off tonight.
46:28All that's going to do is, like, fucking put him back to where he was,
46:31like, three weeks ago.
46:33I don't want to lose him.
46:35Oh, fuck.
46:41Next time...
46:42I'm waking up by myself. I haven't got a wife.
46:45There isn't a fibre in my body that cares about...
46:48As two marriages hit breaking point...
46:51If she tries to talk to me at the dinner party,
46:53I'm just going to ignore her.
46:55..eyes begin to wander.
46:57I've got 24 hours to enjoy myself.
46:59I definitely could let my hair down tonight.
47:02So you find Shannon attractive?
47:04Oh, she's my type. Yeah.
47:06Stephen said, if Ryan doesn't turn up tonight,
47:08I'm going to shoot myself.
47:10..leading to a clash of husbands.
47:12If I wasn't here, it'd crack on with her.
47:14Muppet.
47:16Fucking me. This wasn't part of the plan.
47:18..and Adam's hurt feelings.
47:20I'm sorry. I'm fucking sorry, Adam.
47:22There you go.
47:23It's a fake sorry. I don't quite...
47:25..spark renewed conflict with wife Polly.
47:28The stuff that he said about me...
47:30..is fucking hurtful.
