00:00:00I love you. Will you marry me?
00:00:11You are genuinely incredible. You're just amazing. But this has been a short whirlwind
00:00:26journey. This process is just insane. But like, I've not had one single doubt with you.
00:00:41I just know that we're gonna bring out the best in each other. And I can't wait for the
00:00:46next chapter. So, of course. Is that a yes? That's a yes. Yes! That's a big yes. Oh my goodness.
00:01:05That was the longest yes ever, by the way. I was on my knee for quite a long time then. Oh my god,
00:01:10I didn't know you were on your knee. Oh my god, I'm sorry. I should have really led with the yes.
00:01:14Perfect. I wouldn't have had it any other way. Oh my gosh. Do you know it's hard for me sometimes
00:01:19to convey emotions and stuff and it was really important for you to hear what's in my heart as
00:01:23well. I appreciate that. Sorry, I probably should have started with yes and then told you that.
00:01:29It's okay, I got the yes. I have no doubt in my mind that you're the one. I have so much
00:01:37calmness in my heart because I just know you're my person. Oh, I love you. I wish I could hold
00:01:42you so much. I love you. I love you. That's so graceful. Say it again, please. I love you. I love
00:01:49you too. Have a great day and sweet dreams for tonight. Sweet dreams. Stephen has been my number
00:02:00one and now he's my fiancé. How mad is that? That's so surreal. Holy shit.
00:02:13She's got to be a wifey.
00:02:21I've got my life partner. I feel more complete than I ever have done. I'm honestly on top of the world.
00:02:42Get that down you boys. Energy for the pods, man. Cheers. Is it booze? Yes. It's called Dutch
00:02:59courage, bro. I don't need any of that. I hope everyone just has a really good day. I'm going
00:03:06to go in with my good spirits and yeah, I hope everyone does the same.
00:03:20Good luck, guys. Bro, born for this. Good morning. Honestly, I feel torn a little bit because the
00:03:31connection between Sam, the connection between Benaiah and I are just very different. Sam,
00:03:36he's fun. Bonjour. Do you speak French? Okay. I don't think that makes sense. I feel like giddy.
00:03:47I feel happy. I could just imagine us just kicking it. Kicking it. Is that like what do the cool kids
00:03:53say? Like hanging out. Hanging out. Can we, can I redo that and then we'll say hanging out? Hello,
00:03:58how are you doing? Hi, good, thank you. With Benaiah, you know, we have a very
00:04:03deep understanding of each other, even sort of almost without words almost.
00:04:14Well, here's a question. On a typical day with your wife, what does that look like?
00:04:19Probably being outdoors in the morning, maybe a little rock climb. Have a brunch and a coffee
00:04:25somewhere. Go for a hike in the afternoon. I love that. You know, meeting up with friends,
00:04:30having a laugh. Having, like, laughing is quite an important thing to me and I'm a very
00:04:35positive, upbeat person. Always got a smile on my face. You're so cute, you know. You're so cute.
00:04:41I'm just picturing a smiley guy, like he's a happy guy. Yeah, a very smiley guy. I just have
00:04:47this picture of you in my head. Like I feel like you've got like this, you know, wavy like dreadlocks,
00:04:52you know, you're like all over the shop. Nicole fills my heart with happiness and positivity.
00:04:58I'm glad I got to talk to you today. Yeah, me too. It's been good. I'm very happy. Is it that obvious?
00:05:15Come on, bro, you got this, you got this, you got this.
00:05:17I've got so much energy. I woke up this morning, I was doing my makeup and I was like,
00:05:23you're meeting your husband today, so like make sure you bring the energy, like you're on top form.
00:05:31Hello. Hello. So who am I speaking to? My name is Maria. What's your name? Hiya, I'm Tom. How old
00:05:37are you, Tom? I'm 38. How old are you? I am 30. Okay, right, I'm gonna stand up. Are you gonna stand up?
00:05:43Hon, I've been in heels all day. Fair point, all right, so have I, man, they're killing me.
00:05:48I just want to find someone that in 60 years from now we're still gonna be like laughing,
00:05:51cracking up and just making each other happy. Can I tell you a joke? Yeah. Who's the coolest guy in
00:05:58the hospital? Who? The ultrasound guy. Who's the coolest guy in the hospital and the ultrasound guy
00:06:03isn't there? Who? The hip replacement guy. Oh, that was funny. Can I just ask you, where are you from?
00:06:13Where do you live? Southampton. Okay. But I'm Moroccan and I'm Muslim. Really? That's so interesting.
00:06:20Yeah, like dating in my culture, my background is really frowned upon. Yeah. But now I've got to a
00:06:28stage where I just don't care, like I'm here to just sort of, you know, do me and make me happy and
00:06:32it's my life at the end of the day and my immediate family, they're the ones that matter and they want
00:06:37me to be happy, so that's all that matters really. Yeah, exactly. What are you looking for in a woman?
00:06:41Obviously a wife, but I mean like traits, characteristics, all that kind of thing.
00:06:45Someone who's quite sort of assertive and knows themselves. Yeah. I'm pretty big on like
00:06:52personal growth and self-development. Why are you quite big on that? Do you know what, like
00:06:57when I was younger I didn't really, I come from like a single-parent family, right, like a broken
00:07:02family. Yeah. My mum and my dad broke up when I was four and I'd see him maybe once or twice a year.
00:07:08Because he was so absent, like it just made me want to be around him more.
00:07:13So I went to live with them for a year and then I went away on a family holiday with my mum
00:07:17and when we got back from the holiday I'd just done a runner, I'd just disappeared.
00:07:22Wow. He'd like literally left the house that I lived in. Do you think your dad leaving has
00:07:27like affected how you are in relationships? A hundred percent. I've never been able to give
00:07:32myself fully to relationships. Yeah. Because I was so scared of like being abandoned,
00:07:38like when you love them so much, you know. Yeah. It took me so long to realise that like
00:07:43the way to bond with people is to show your vulnerability. For sure, but like being
00:07:50vulnerable is really scary because in my background and the way I've been raised you're
00:07:54just taught that you get on with it. Right. And there's no such thing as like being sad or crying
00:08:00and you know you don't show people that side because then you're weak. Yeah. I lost my dad
00:08:05a couple years ago and he went to Morocco to say his goodbyes because he had terminal cancer
00:08:13and then he was supposed to come back and it was in the height of Covid and
00:08:19Morocco locked down and he ended up passing away so I never got to see him.
00:08:24I'm so sorry. He was just a really good man and he like just didn't need to go so early.
00:08:32Oh, that's heartbreaking.
00:08:38But I got to a point like a while ago where I was just like I'm actually ready to sort of
00:08:43completely give myself to someone and like be the best person for them and the best person
00:08:48for myself as well. Thank you for sharing that. No, thank you for sharing what you shared.
00:08:53I had three big relationships in my life and the third one in particular was somebody that I think
00:09:08if things had gone a little bit differently we'd probably be happily married now. A lot of that was
00:09:12about my own kind of inability I think to like sort of share myself and open up properly with someone.
00:09:19Hello. Hello, you okay? I'm good. Who am I speaking to? It's Natasha. Natasha, it's nice to meet you.
00:09:25I'm Tom. Hi, Tom. Where do you live? I live in Northwich in Cheshire. So if we spent the weekend
00:09:30up at yours in Cheshire, what would our Saturday look like? We'd have like coffee and breakfast in
00:09:36the morning. Uh-huh. I'd probably do like like an afternoon in the gym maybe and then probably
00:09:40go to the cinema at evening. So I love movies. I love movies. Okay. I love going to the cinema. I
00:09:45literally go on my own. I go to cinema on my own as well. Do you? I don't want anyone sharing my popcorn.
00:09:51No, I would rather just us both buy popcorn. It's not because I'm a bad sharer. I'm just like it's
00:09:56just a logistical nightmare. How do you feel about marriage? Marriage to me is a lifelong commitment
00:10:04to someone and I want to be able to show myself to someone without being worried that they're
00:10:08going to walk away. I think there's definitely strength though in the fact that you can be
00:10:12vulnerable. I feel like in my last relationship like there was more that I wanted from it I guess.
00:10:18Right. And I'm just scared that I don't want that to happen again. I understand. Whoever I meet next
00:10:24I obviously need to know that we're on the same page from day one because I'm looking for for
00:10:28someone to do life with. Yeah. So being a marriage like you need to show every part of yourself to
00:10:35that person. The bad times as well as the good and not be afraid that they're gonna like judge you.
00:10:41Yeah. Sorry I don't know why I'm getting upset. You're just really lovely to talk to like I've
00:10:46yeah. Oh man now I'm feeling upset.
00:10:51What do your friends call you? Tash. Can I call you Tash? Of course you can.
00:10:55We're on Tash level. Oh my god.
00:10:59Natasha 10 out of 10. I could just see her immediately like really really hitting it
00:11:03off with my friends and my family. There's something there I just I can't place it but
00:11:08I'm feeling connections with Maria as well. So yeah I've got a a tricky a tricky time coming up
00:11:13I'd say. I've never seen so many smiles walk through the door. Can't we just just see us even
00:11:25now? Yeah. I feel like we're like not what each other would go for normally. No. I have a feeling
00:11:31he's bald. I don't know why. I think so too. But you know what we're making all these assumptions
00:11:35and I can be completely right. I know.
00:11:41Hello. Hello. Is it Kat? Yeah. Oh I'm buzzing at you. I'm the same.
00:11:49I need to tell you something. This is really mad. I went to a medium about five years ago. Yeah. She
00:11:55said to me you're gonna get married and she went person you're gonna marry her name begins with a
00:12:01C. Whilst we're chatting about things where would you like to get married? Like where would that be?
00:12:08Probably like in the UK. Yeah I agree 100% yeah. Because obviously a lot of my family in the UK.
00:12:13Yeah same same. I want my brother to be the best man. Something that my future wife would have to
00:12:20sort of understand is that because my brother's got down syndrome and if anything like happened
00:12:25to my mum or if my brother sort of needed you know additional care I would have to be there for him.
00:12:32I hear what you're saying.
00:12:36I'm planning to leave Jersey anyway. Yeah. So it's like a no-brainer for me.
00:12:44Are your mum and dad still together? Yeah they are. Yeah so you don't live with your
00:12:48mum and dad though? I live so I'm adopted. Right okay. But um it's okay. I'm sorry how did that
00:12:56make you feel though? Like do you know what like always growing up I was like oh like never really
00:13:01bothered me and then as I got later 20s I was like looking in the mirror and obviously I was
00:13:07just like who am I and I always see families and I see what they look like. Sorry.
00:13:14I'm a migrant and I never really knew what I looked like.
00:13:24When I was younger like I'd always be like the kid that was adopted. Sorry.
00:13:35Men always find me sensitive or they will find that I come with baggage because of the adoption
00:13:42but if somebody understands this girl's adopted that's why she thinks like that it will make my
00:13:49connection with that guy stronger and I can open up to them about it which I haven't done before.
00:13:55Oh Kat I'm really enjoying speaking to finding out more about you.
00:14:03Honestly Kat like I'm proper feeling you.
00:14:07I'm not gonna lie there's there's a connection like another connection
00:14:11but when I've come out the pods with you I feel so content. Really? That's amazing.
00:14:18The same same Kat like I'm not here to fool anybody. I'm not here for games. I'm here to
00:14:23meet somebody that I'm going to be with the rest of my life. This is why I like oh no this is why
00:14:29I like you. What did you say? Nothing. Yeah you did what did you say then? I have got on with Freddy
00:14:37from day one like he's never not been in my top. Hey raspberries. But I have a tight bond
00:14:45with Ollie. If I catch this then the girl I'm thinking of is the one.
00:14:53There's something about him. He puts a smile on my face. Raspberry anyone?
00:14:59I don't know if I'm at the top of Ollie's list but I think I am. If I'm not then
00:15:05it's not funny.
00:15:09Hello. Ollie. Feeling confused between Demi and Kat. What's happening? I'm so used to being
00:15:18in a bar going oh she looks nice and it's not that anymore. I'm trying to be like who speaks
00:15:23to your real wants needs and desires? I want true love that's going to be everlasting and I think
00:15:28marriage is what encompasses that. Obviously you're not on this experience to mess around so
00:15:33you want to settle down like you're ready? Yeah of course I'm genuinely at the stage now where I
00:15:37could be with my forever person like if the next person is the right person that's my last person.
00:15:42I like that. Yeah but I want to know do you know what I want to know more about because I'm curious.
00:15:47What? Where'd you go when you were out in London? I was at Ivy Asia like literally for my birthday.
00:15:54Oh you're one of them ones. And then we ended up in Cirque.
00:16:00What? I go to those clubs all the time but they are mad pretentious.
00:16:04It's not a club I would go to on a regular basis. I went for my birthday.
00:16:10So like it's like a one-off? Yeah. Is that a cross because I went to Cirque? No not at all I'm just
00:16:16trying to suss things out that's all. Do you want to know my real thing with you? Yeah from
00:16:21early I was thinking is this almost more just like a sexual vibe because I felt like the vibe
00:16:25was there strong from early. Is that just almost like lust without actually seeing each other does
00:16:29that make sense? Yeah. So I'm trying to get to new depths so I can break past that and be like no do
00:16:34we have things in common? Yeah I get that. I'm the same. Do you know what it is I'll be real with you
00:16:39I'll be really really real with you. There are still other people that like and I'm sure there's
00:16:43still some other people you're talking to you're vibing with to an extent. I wouldn't be offended
00:16:47if you said you still want to explore those connections to a degree because I think it's
00:16:51still too early to completely rule anyone else out so that's how it is.
00:17:05You okay? Yeah I just feel sad. Why? I told Oli I went to like Cirque for a night out and he was
00:17:12like oh I know the type of girls that go to Cirque and I explained it was like oh okay I get you and
00:17:16I'm like you're literally thinking so much into there. Yeah. I don't know. I had a date with
00:17:21Catherine and that was hitting on paper hitting in my head but not hitting in my heart. I know
00:17:25that sounds mad cheesy but like. No I get it man. But like if you went and saw a house and it had
00:17:29this bright size garden double garage it's got like you know I mean all the things on paper you
00:17:33want but it just doesn't feel right to you doesn't feel like a home you're not gonna move in there
00:17:37are you? No. And that's kind of where I feel like it's like on paper everything makes sense but my
00:17:42heart is still being pulled in the other direction and I think that's more important. Yeah I think it is.
00:17:47I feel like everything in my life has led up to this moment.
00:18:13Relationships in the past have really knocked my confidence and who I was as a person. Stephen
00:18:19created a safe space that allowed me to let my guard down and trust him with my vulnerability.
00:18:29I came in here wholeheartedly hoping that I would meet someone
00:18:32but I didn't expect to find the love that I have found.
00:18:36To be honest with you I don't really care how Serena looks I just know she's a beautiful person
00:18:44and I know she's my one. To me it doesn't matter what he looks like but for some reason he's given
00:18:55me bald energy and I don't know why. Trying to keep my cool knowing that on the other side of
00:19:03that door is my future wife. There is that worry of oh what if I'm not his usual type
00:19:12but we came into this experiment because our normal types haven't worked for us in the past
00:19:18so I'm hoping that attraction is just going to grow when we do see each other.
00:19:33You're, you're, you're
00:20:03Hi.
00:20:17Oh my gosh, hi.
00:20:24You look stunning. Thank you. You have hair.
00:20:28You're giving me bald energy.
00:20:30Why? I don't know. Bald energy? I've got some for now.
00:20:42Oh my goodness.
00:20:46Let's go brush your hands around this one.
00:20:56Oh it's beautiful.
00:21:00Will you marry me? Of course, yes.
00:21:09It's the easiest.
00:21:12It's all dark and handsome. He's like everything that I could have wanted.
00:21:16It was just like there's my guy, like there's my person.
00:21:19Just amazing. Literally the best moment of my life. I love it. Thank you.
00:21:24As a person, she's more than I could have dreamed of and she's got the beauty to match.
00:21:30I've just met my fiancee and I feel incredible.
00:21:35So you was expecting bald man? I don't know why.
00:21:38You were just giving me bald energy. I can always shave it off. No, we're good.
00:21:41You look great.
00:21:43I'm so happy. What about you?
00:21:45Just excited to start chapter two. Yeah.
00:21:49Let's have a turn.
00:21:50I see your incredible.
00:21:57You're my fiance. Oh my god. That's so insane.
00:22:04Oh my god.
00:22:05Incredible.
00:22:09You're my fiancé.
00:22:10Oh my God, that's so insane.
00:22:13How does that feel?
00:22:14Amazing.
00:22:15Yeah?
00:22:16Amazing.
00:22:17Mr and Mrs Smith.
00:22:18Mr and Mrs Smith!
00:22:21I love that.
00:22:22I'm excited about it.
00:22:23I love that we're laughing.
00:22:24I know.
00:22:25I love that you're smiling.
00:22:28I'll see you soon.
00:22:35Beautiful on the inside and on the outside.
00:22:42I found the one, for sure.
00:22:55It was a really magical moment.
00:22:57He showed me romance and love in a way that I've never experienced.
00:23:01After all of this time and everything I've been through,
00:23:03I finally find my Prince Charming.
00:23:08I want to tell my family.
00:23:10I want to tell my friends.
00:23:12I want to stand on the rooftops and scream,
00:23:14I'm engaged, I have a fiancé.
00:23:16This is what I've wanted my whole life.
00:23:19I love love.
00:23:32I want to be that guy that you want.
00:23:34In the middle of the night, I want to make love.
00:23:36Feel so amazing.
00:23:38The top two, do you know who's the top now?
00:23:42No.
00:23:43Wow.
00:23:44I think I need more conversations.
00:23:46I'm very ready to meet my soulmate.
00:23:48I feel like I've got a lot of love to give.
00:23:50With Bobby, he doesn't try too hard.
00:23:53I do feel really safe around you.
00:23:55Just comfortable being myself.
00:23:57Yeah, so you don't have to hide anything from me.
00:23:59No, but I never do anyway, I'm a straight shooter.
00:24:01He's got a quiet confidence about him that I love.
00:24:04With Sam, I just have a gut feeling
00:24:07he's one of those very attractive guys
00:24:09that gets what he wants.
00:24:11Hello.
00:24:12Hi.
00:24:13Yes.
00:24:14So as much as I like Sam,
00:24:16I do have some concerns there.
00:24:18I'm going to be real with you.
00:24:19Yeah.
00:24:20You are the name in my head along with someone else.
00:24:23Okay.
00:24:24Thinking about who I wanted to talk to again,
00:24:26your name was just stuck like a gut feeling
00:24:29because I feel like you're going to give me the love,
00:24:33like the affection that I need as a person.
00:24:36Mm-hmm.
00:24:37And I think that other person doesn't know quite what I need.
00:24:41Do you know what it is?
00:24:42I just think you would just be quite a big rock in my life.
00:24:47Mm-hmm.
00:24:48That's kind of like what I need.
00:24:50But the way that I'm feeling about you,
00:24:52but the way that I'm feeling about you
00:24:54without even seeing you is crazy.
00:24:57Okay.
00:24:58You know what, right?
00:25:00I feel like our conversations flow, yeah?
00:25:04Do you know my only apprehension with you?
00:25:06I don't know why I kind of have this, like, gut feeling.
00:25:11You're telling me what I want to hear.
00:25:16Your answers are great, but I'm like,
00:25:18is he just telling me what I want to hear?
00:25:20This is just getting ridiculous.
00:25:21I'm honestly, should I just give up?
00:25:23Maybe I'm meant to be with no one.
00:25:25What am I supposed to do?
00:25:26Just sit here and say that's not, I'm this?
00:25:28I don't understand now. I'm getting a bit lost.
00:25:30This is just ridiculous.
00:25:35Everything I'm telling you is real.
00:25:37Mm-hmm.
00:25:38And if you're willing to go on that journey with me,
00:25:40then I think you would be happy.
00:25:43I really do believe that.
00:25:45You know what, Sam?
00:25:46I'm just keeping my cards close to my chest
00:25:49because I don't want to get hurt.
00:25:53I'm guarded.
00:25:55Of course.
00:25:56But my advice would be just flow and see where life takes us
00:25:59because everything's written for us already.
00:26:02I like that.
00:26:04Yeah.
00:26:05But we'll see, Sam. We'll see.
00:26:10I think that Sam is a great guy,
00:26:13but I have doubts in a sense
00:26:15that he's only answering the questions to make me happy.
00:26:21Okay. Bye, Sam.
00:26:23Bye, Jaz.
00:26:24Bye.
00:26:26I don't want a surface-level conversation.
00:26:30No, it's giving me immature vibes.
00:26:41You've got an important date, bro.
00:26:42You've got to feel the testosterone through that wall, man.
00:26:44You've got to know what you're dealing with.
00:26:49Yes, get it, girl!
00:26:50I think the dating world now, it's hard.
00:26:52It's so superficial.
00:26:53Like, everyone's constantly looking for the next best thing.
00:26:56I'm a new woman today. You also look amazing.
00:26:58Use that confidence that you know you have.
00:27:01People just see me as this skinny, blonde girl
00:27:04and I think they just take me out for, like, a quick drink
00:27:07and it is quite, like, surface-level.
00:27:10A year and a half ago, I lost Five Stone.
00:27:14There was a point in my life where I had, like,
00:27:16virtually no confidence in who I was as a person.
00:27:19I felt like I kind of lost my identity a little bit.
00:27:25Since I've lost the weight,
00:27:26I would say men see me a little bit differently.
00:27:28Based on face value,
00:27:30I want someone who just finds out who I am.
00:27:33I am not a trophy wife.
00:27:34I am, like, a serious, intelligent woman.
00:27:39I want affection and I want love
00:27:41and I want someone who's there for me and cares for me.
00:27:43To do the scary moments with, I want to, like, love with no fear.
00:27:47That's a dream.
00:27:50What about fleeing hideous UK and moving abroad somewhere?
00:27:53Would you ever consider that? I would probably be open to it.
00:27:55So, would you? Mm-hm.
00:27:56So, could you move abroad?
00:27:57Like, do you have the kind of job to do that?
00:27:59Well, basically, so what I do now is
00:28:01I'm a careers coordinator in schools. Right.
00:28:03However, I've kind of, like, picked up, like,
00:28:05I do, like, coding and stuff in my own time.
00:28:07I do, like, website development.
00:28:09God, you do it all, don't you?
00:28:11I'm a bit of a self-proclaimed nerd, I'll be completely honest.
00:28:14Like, I'm a bit of an introverted extrovert,
00:28:16so I am someone that quite likes my own space
00:28:18in terms of, like, I like to sit in and do my coding
00:28:20and that kind of thing.
00:28:21I can't believe it. It's amazing.
00:28:23How do you see your life, then,
00:28:26in terms of, like, future partner, family?
00:28:29I mean, I was raised in, like, a broken family.
00:28:32OK.
00:28:33So, I just want to make sure that if I do have a family,
00:28:35that I'm doing right by my kids.
00:28:37I love that.
00:28:38Tom makes me feel like there's no-one else in the world.
00:28:41I forget everything else that's going on around me.
00:28:44I'm in this, like, crazy experiment.
00:28:46Whenever he talks to me, it's like the room's still.
00:28:49It's a connection I don't think I've ever felt with anyone.
00:28:52The words that I've written down for you, Tash,
00:28:54kind of make me feel safe as well.
00:28:56Do you want to know my words?
00:28:58Yeah, go on.
00:28:59I've got genuine, authentic, sensitive,
00:29:04amazing, goofy laugh at the end.
00:29:08I want to love you.
00:29:10Natasha's been a bit of a whirlwind.
00:29:13We connected so much.
00:29:14There was just this, like, intangible feeling,
00:29:18which just immediately made me feel really close to her.
00:29:20Like, I can't remember a time in my life
00:29:22when I've experienced that.
00:29:25Hello.
00:29:26Hello. I know who that is already.
00:29:28Hello, Tom.
00:29:29All right, Maria?
00:29:31And then Maria is someone who maybe doesn't slot into my life,
00:29:35like, as easily as Natasha would,
00:29:37but she's the person who I could imagine
00:29:40just, like, waking up with every day.
00:29:42How do you think you would be to live with?
00:29:45I honestly think I'd be fine.
00:29:47I think if you get on with someone
00:29:49and you understand each other...
00:29:51Understand?
00:29:53I'm understanding you, OK?
00:29:55Just carry on going.
00:29:57I feel like a giddy little girl.
00:29:59Disgusting.
00:30:01You know, she makes me feel so comfortable when I'm around her.
00:30:04There is something today which I've sort of thought
00:30:06I really need to tell you.
00:30:08OK.
00:30:09Which might completely alter your perception of me.
00:30:11Oh, God.
00:30:13Um, are you ready for it?
00:30:15I'm wearing Birkenstocks.
00:30:18You're so... Don't do that to me!
00:30:21I genuinely feel like Maria brings out
00:30:24the kind of more humorous, upbeat side of me.
00:30:26Can't wait to watch you sleep.
00:30:30SHE LAUGHS
00:30:32You're such a little creep.
00:30:34Are you excited?
00:30:36Yeah, can't wait to wake up with you just staring down at me.
00:30:38Just like...
00:30:40SHE LAUGHS
00:30:42I hope and pray that if I reach the end of this experiment
00:30:45that I'm going to have an incredible life
00:30:47with the woman that I love for the rest of my life.
00:30:55I want to make sure that I'm making the right decision.
00:30:59There are people I enjoy the most... Yeah.
00:31:01..and there are people I enjoy the least, and that's all I know so far.
00:31:04There's one person that I clearly have a very deep,
00:31:06like, special connection with, it's Tom.
00:31:08But I feel like we haven't really touched on much,
00:31:10but it's just like, you can just feel something special.
00:31:13Yeah.
00:31:18MUSIC PLAYS
00:31:24A flow, a vinyasa flow. It's a cobra.
00:31:28Frühstück.
00:31:30Love is actually blind, bro.
00:31:32Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.
00:31:39All right, boys.
00:31:41Time to go on a date.
00:31:46Hey. Hi!
00:31:48HE LAUGHS
00:31:50I'm so happy it's you.
00:31:52Me too.
00:31:54You know, you kind of made me think a little bit,
00:31:56because you were talking about your mum. Yeah.
00:31:58And my dad left us when we were 12, I'd say. Really?
00:32:03And I know what effect it had on my brother as a man.
00:32:08What's the dynamic between you and your dad?
00:32:10I mean, if you don't feel comfortable talking about it, it's fine.
00:32:13We don't speak. Yeah.
00:32:15It's never been our choice, it's just because since I'm a kid,
00:32:18he didn't really make an effort to kind of build a relationship.
00:32:21But, like, not having a father figure,
00:32:23you look for other people around you
00:32:25to kind of give you that sort of guidance.
00:32:27And, yeah, so I used to look to my three cousins.
00:32:30You know, they were all older than me.
00:32:32And I used to really look to Danny, really.
00:32:34He really took me under his wing, taught me how to play basketball.
00:32:37He's the one that taught me how to make music, how to rap. Yeah.
00:32:40It meant, you know, it meant a lot to me.
00:32:42But I went to work away on a ship,
00:32:45and my mum just said,
00:32:47you need to...you need to call me.
00:32:49And I give her a call, and she just said, you need to sit down.
00:32:52I just kind of held my breath and just said, just tell me, you know.
00:32:55Mm-hm. And then she said, Danny and Kim are dead.
00:32:58SHE GASPS
00:33:00Kim was Danny's fiancée.
00:33:02And, yeah, and I was just like, what?
00:33:06You know, it just didn't make much sense.
00:33:09It didn't make much sense to me.
00:33:11She just said, yeah, they got into an accident in the sea.
00:33:15They both drowned.
00:33:18Um...
00:33:20And I think the family will never, ever be the same, you know, after that.
00:33:24But I think it really made me realise, you know,
00:33:27life is way too short to take for granted, you know,
00:33:32any single moment.
00:33:34And I think now I really try and be thankful.
00:33:37So, yeah.
00:33:39I can't even imagine how difficult it is.
00:33:46No, I appreciate you, you know, listening.
00:33:50You know, I want to be your safe space,
00:33:52to tell me anything that's on your mind.
00:33:55I appreciate that.
00:33:57And I really do feel comfortable.
00:33:59It just feels really right. Yeah. It feels really safe.
00:34:02Yeah, that's the best way I could describe it.
00:34:05Yeah. You are an outstanding guy.
00:34:10You are. Amazing.
00:34:12It would be nice to have a bit of a cuddle now.
00:34:20It's getting hot in here. Really? Mm.
00:34:23Listen, we haven't even started, so you don't know what's coming for you.
00:34:26I'm ready for it. I don't think you are, Bobby.
00:34:28You have no idea. You have no idea.
00:34:33Mm. Stop it.
00:34:35OK. No, don't stop it.
00:34:38You love it. I do.
00:34:40Me and Bobby are great.
00:34:42We just connect on a more personal level.
00:34:45Do you think you're a good kisser?
00:34:47Yeah, I'd like to think so. Oh, yeah?
00:34:49I'm good at most things.
00:34:51And he's so open to me in regards to communication, his past,
00:34:55and that is enough indication for me
00:34:58that he is going to be the perfect partner for me.
00:35:01Bye-bye, bye-bye. You know, I'll miss you.
00:35:03I'll miss you too. And don't forget about me, OK?
00:35:06Yeah, I won't forget about you. Think about me all night long.
00:35:09All day, all night, of course.
00:35:11Possibly in... No, OK, yeah.
00:35:14So, I will cut it off with Sam.
00:35:17I've made my decision.
00:35:19I have no reservations about my decision.
00:35:22That is it.
00:35:24Bro, things are heating up.
00:35:35It's all clear in my head now, mate.
00:35:37Cos in my heart, at the moment, I know who the one is.
00:35:39So, in my gut, it feels right with Jasmine.
00:35:41So, like, I know I'd live happily ever after with her.
00:35:44It worries me that I'm falling for her,
00:35:46but at the same time, I really am.
00:35:48Bonjour.
00:35:50Who's this? Sam? Yeah.
00:35:53Hey. However, there's something in the air with Jasmine.
00:35:57It's not sitting right and I don't know what it is.
00:36:00I want to try and break down some more barriers
00:36:03and find a little bit more about her
00:36:05and who could potentially be the one.
00:36:09I was looking forward to this. You?
00:36:12Oh... Um...
00:36:14Go on.
00:36:16Um...
00:36:18You know, my top two's kind of been volleying back and forth
00:36:21between, you know, you and another guy.
00:36:23Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:36:25I've got a lot of clarity on who I have, like,
00:36:27the strongest connection with
00:36:29and who I feel, like, the most safe with,
00:36:32but my connection is stronger elsewhere.
00:36:35Yeah, totally understand it, respect it.
00:36:38I just have to follow my heart
00:36:40and open myself up to just one person.
00:36:44Yeah, I respect it.
00:36:46That's absolutely fine.
00:36:48Mm-hm.
00:36:50Cool.
00:36:51But, like, not to sugarcoat anything,
00:36:53like, I genuinely, genuinely respect you
00:36:55and value you as a person.
00:36:57Yeah, you too.
00:36:59I just feel like there's just a better fit.
00:37:02Cool.
00:37:03I'm so sorry.
00:37:05I really hope that it works out, all right?
00:37:08OK.
00:37:09Cool.
00:37:13Let this fire
00:37:16watch me burn
00:37:22Watch me burn
00:37:24Watch me burn
00:37:29Oi!
00:37:31You don't look happy, bro.
00:37:33You OK, mate?
00:37:36Come here, bro.
00:37:38You good?
00:37:39No.
00:37:40It's gone.
00:37:41It's the worst experience of my life.
00:37:43Oh, bro.
00:37:4730 seconds.
00:37:49He gave me 30 seconds and told me.
00:37:54I didn't see that coming.
00:37:57Oh, boy.
00:37:58God, I really fucking valued that girl.
00:38:01Yeah, and did things with Son.
00:38:03Oh, how are you feeling?
00:38:05I feel bad for him.
00:38:06Oh, God.
00:38:08I mean, he took it well.
00:38:10I'm an absolute mug.
00:38:13I'm an idiot.
00:38:14You're not an idiot.
00:38:15I'm an idiot cos I'm fucking enjoying chats with her
00:38:17and feelings for her.
00:38:19She was such an amazing girl.
00:38:21What do you think you're doing here?
00:38:23Mate, I've got bad news.
00:38:25Really bad news.
00:38:27I didn't see it coming.
00:38:30But I got rejected after 10 seconds.
00:38:33I whittled it down to two amazing girls
00:38:35and one's gone, so beggars can't be choosers, eh?
00:38:38You know what I mean?
00:38:41Unfortunately, it's the end of the road between me and Jasmine.
00:38:44But, on the other hand, it's given me some clarity
00:38:47to understand Nicole is the one for me.
00:38:50At least my one is amazing and I want to marry her
00:38:53and that's all that matters.
00:38:54I'm going to be a happy man
00:38:56because I know that the girl that I've got
00:38:58is truly remarkable.
00:39:10Are you any good at drawing?
00:39:11No.
00:39:12Why, what are you doing?
00:39:13A birthday card for Mr Ollie.
00:39:18Ah, Jesus!
00:39:21Yes!
00:39:27I should have probably taken art lessons
00:39:29a little bit more seriously.
00:39:39I think I'm going to do chocolate cake.
00:39:41Three layers to symbolise a wedding cake, so...
00:39:44Cute.
00:39:46All right, all right, all right, all right,
00:39:47let me gather myself, let me gather myself.
00:39:49I want to say, genuinely, as of right now,
00:39:51I wouldn't want to be anywhere else on my birthday,
00:39:53and I mean that.
00:39:54Except for maybe with my future wife.
00:39:57One more thing, this cake better be vegan.
00:40:11I've got this decision to make.
00:40:12That's a big laughter to me.
00:40:14Of course it is.
00:40:16I know that once I've made that decision,
00:40:18the bridges burn.
00:40:19And do you know what, I was thinking to myself,
00:40:20don't do it on your birthday, don't ruin your birthday.
00:40:22But if they both have feelings for me,
00:40:23it's only right that at least one of them
00:40:25has the character to know what it is,
00:40:26and the other one has the character to know what it isn't.
00:40:29So I'm not trying to let it drag any more than I need to.
00:40:32That was a lot of effort that went into that.
00:40:35So Ollie has been my number one,
00:40:38and it's hard because you see other people
00:40:40connecting with the person that you want.
00:40:45Oh, my gosh.
00:40:47But I need to please myself.
00:40:49So it's time for me to put my big girl knickers on,
00:40:52pull them all the way up past the belly button,
00:40:55and I'm going to go get my man.
00:40:58Have you got a balloon?
00:40:59I've got about 50 balloons.
00:41:00Have you got cake?
00:41:01I've got cake, and I've got...
00:41:03A card?
00:41:04A card.
00:41:05Oh, right, there's a few.
00:41:07This is detailed.
00:41:08This is detailed.
00:41:09I took my time with that card.
00:41:11I'm seeing cocktails, I'm seeing boxing gloves,
00:41:13and I'm seeing a Wi-Fi signal.
00:41:14What the hell is that about?
00:41:16I've coloured each one in because I'm, like,
00:41:18yeah, full connection.
00:41:20Got you.
00:41:21Yeah, strong, strong, strong.
00:41:23This is amazing.
00:41:25This is... I'm liking this.
00:41:27Good.
00:41:29This is making me quite emotional, I can't lie.
00:41:31Oh, I'm glad.
00:41:34Like, being in here with you,
00:41:35having these amazing gestures, this is...
00:41:39Oh.
00:41:40I'm glad.
00:41:41Because if I was there physically with you now,
00:41:44you would be enjoying your birthday.
00:41:47And even though I'm not there physically, like,
00:41:49your birthday feels like my birthday today.
00:41:52So I hope you're enjoying yourself.
00:41:54And I honestly really put time into that card,
00:41:56so you best be saving that.
00:41:58You're the one who carried me back
00:42:00from the saddest song that I sang for too long
00:42:04What Demi did for my birthday,
00:42:06and just seeing the level of effort she had gone to,
00:42:10that told me everything I needed to know.
00:42:12It told me everything I knew I already knew,
00:42:15if that made sense.
00:42:17You've made my day, and I'm about to...
00:42:19Oh!
00:42:20I have got something for you, though.
00:42:21On this sofa, can you feel something?
00:42:23What is this?
00:42:24It's rose quartz.
00:42:26So, like, the crystal of, like, love.
00:42:29You're amazing.
00:42:33So are you.
00:42:34How are you?
00:42:35What?
00:42:36No, I'm happy.
00:42:37OK, good!
00:42:38Go see you!
00:42:40Oh, that's my darling!
00:42:42Yeah!
00:42:43Wait, what did she get you?
00:42:44Look at that cupcake.
00:42:45She sent out the whole room.
00:42:46There was, like, a thousand balloons in there.
00:42:48Oh, mate, lemon cake as well.
00:42:50See?
00:42:52Did you like his card?
00:42:53He loved it.
00:42:54It was so sweet.
00:42:55It was so sweet.
00:42:56It was so sweet.
00:42:57It was so sweet.
00:42:58It was so sweet.
00:42:59It was so sweet.
00:43:00It was so sweet.
00:43:01It was so sweet.
00:43:02It was so sweet.
00:43:03He loved it.
00:43:06So sweet!
00:43:07No, I think I'm actually falling in love.
00:43:09Oh, my God, darling!
00:43:14Am I happy for Demi?
00:43:16Erm...
00:43:17Yeah.
00:43:19I love Demi, so I'm going to step away from the situation
00:43:23because I want her to work with Oli.
00:43:27MUSIC PLAYS
00:43:31Regardless of Demi even being in the situation,
00:43:35me stepping away from Oli,
00:43:37that would have happened regardless
00:43:39because my heart is...
00:43:41And my heart is saying, Freddie.
00:43:44MUSIC CONTINUES
00:43:49Oh, Lord, I'm not ready for this, bro.
00:43:51Feeling overwhelmed, happy, sad.
00:43:57I'm listening to my heart.
00:43:58It's been with Demi, I think, from the get-go.
00:44:00I feel like there's a part of me that's like,
00:44:02it's always been Demi,
00:44:03and I feel like the feeling's mutual from her side.
00:44:05Hello? Hey.
00:44:06But I feel like in choosing Demi,
00:44:08I'm letting Catherine down.
00:44:10Happy birthday.
00:44:12Thank you very much.
00:44:13Are you having a good day?
00:44:17I mean...
00:44:21Yeah, it's just been a confusing day, do you know what I mean?
00:44:24It's been a bit weird, a bit like emotive.
00:44:27Yeah.
00:44:28Where's your head at?
00:44:32All over the place.
00:44:33Cool. I'm going to make it easier for you.
00:44:36OK.
00:44:37I just think you should go
00:44:40and explore the option with someone else.
00:44:44OK.
00:44:46I know you have a connection with someone else,
00:44:48I know who that someone else is, and...
00:44:50I don't know, I don't like getting in the way...
00:44:55..and I just want you to be happy,
00:44:57so I just want to make it easy for you.
00:45:01I get you.
00:45:02I just want to make... Yeah, I just thought, do you know what?
00:45:05I'm going to be the bigger person.
00:45:08Oh, you're so cool.
00:45:10You're so nice, you're so sweet, you're so lovely.
00:45:12Like, even in this moment, you're just so you.
00:45:15And this is the person that, like,
00:45:17I've really, really enjoyed getting to know,
00:45:19and I really, really thank you for everything.
00:45:22But, um...
00:45:24..the other connection just, you know...
00:45:26And I hope you're happy in that.
00:45:28And I hope you're happy in your one too.
00:45:30I... I am.
00:45:32I'm going to let you go.
00:45:34OK.
00:45:35And...
00:45:36..see you on the other side, babe.
00:45:38Yes, without a doubt.
00:45:40All right.
00:45:43HE SINGS
00:45:53How was it?
00:45:54Yeah.
00:45:55You took it well?
00:45:56Yeah.
00:45:57How do you feel?
00:45:58I feel good. I made the right decision.
00:46:00Good. As long as you feel like you made the right decision,
00:46:03that's everything you need to know.
00:46:07Oh!
00:46:08Oh!
00:46:09No, no, we're good, we're good.
00:46:11We're good, we're good, we're good.
00:46:13We're good. She took it really well.
00:46:15Everything's good now.
00:46:16Yeah, that went so much smoother than I thought it was going to be.
00:46:19Did you just break up or something? Yeah.
00:46:21My face is clear, I know where my head's at,
00:46:23I know where my heart's at, so we're good to go.
00:46:25And I know what I'm doing.
00:46:27Yeah.
00:46:28Drum it up, baby.
00:46:32How are you getting on with him every day?
00:46:34Erm, building connections.
00:46:36It's changing. People, it's very surprising.
00:46:40The denier. Yeah.
00:46:41He's a lovely guy and we have so much in common.
00:46:43We love the same things.
00:46:45He has, like, a big, like, I love his personality.
00:46:48Yeah.
00:46:49It feels like I have two connections, Sam and Benaiah.
00:46:52Hello. Hello.
00:46:54Hi. How you doing?
00:46:56But Benaiah is, like, the one that I really feel
00:46:59romantically connected with.
00:47:01I'm so glad that we're here.
00:47:04With me? Yeah.
00:47:05Likewise.
00:47:06But I want to know that Benaiah is serious about marriage, you know?
00:47:11I just want to ask you something, this is something burning on my mind.
00:47:14Mm. I just want to know, like,
00:47:17do you feel like you could see potentially proposing to anyone at all?
00:47:22Can you see that yet or is that not something you can see?
00:47:26Connection-wise, yes. I have thought of a future together.
00:47:32Yeah, OK.
00:47:34But difficult for me to kind of give these assurances of,
00:47:38oh, yeah, we have a connection, I can see us getting engaged.
00:47:41I'm not at that stage.
00:47:44That's kind of where I'm at with it.
00:47:48I'm not going to lie, like, your answer to me is not ideal.
00:47:53You know, for me, you know, you're one of my stronger connections, I'd say.
00:47:58Yeah.
00:47:59So you telling me that you may not be potentially ready,
00:48:02I mean, that's not ideal, is it?
00:48:04The way I read this is you're after assurances.
00:48:07I'm just trying to kind of gauge where I'm at with people
00:48:13because there's clearly some level of connection here,
00:48:16otherwise you wouldn't be sitting here in the pod.
00:48:19Sure, sure, yeah.
00:48:22All I just want to know is that there is a connection.
00:48:25Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I agree.
00:48:27I've really enjoyed our dates
00:48:29and I hopefully will be seeing you tomorrow.
00:48:33Cool.
00:48:36I definitely am falling for Nicole.
00:48:39Which does scare me a little bit.
00:48:41I think I need time to get there.
00:48:43This is so confusing.
00:48:46The relationship I have with Nicole is something really special.
00:48:49I don't want to lose it.
00:48:51Yeah, hold on.
00:48:58Glance to my right as I feel you slowly wake up.
00:49:03We stretched in the stars, I wrote just that morning code.
00:49:07For me, it's been quite apparent from, you know,
00:49:10the start that Jasmine was the girl for me.
00:49:15You know, I always say that every type of love is different.
00:49:18How's it going?
00:49:20I'm just all over the place.
00:49:22But this is the best kind of feeling and the best kind of love
00:49:25I would say I've ever experienced before.
00:49:29I've got something that I've prepared for you.
00:49:32So I wanted to read it for you or kind of wrap it for you.
00:49:36So here we go.
00:49:40So tell me where you want to go cos we could book a flight.
00:49:44And we ain't got to stay a while, we can do it for the night.
00:49:48And this king needs a queen, but a queen needs a throne.
00:49:51I'm feeling high over life.
00:49:53And a roll of the dice brought us here to the parts to me
00:49:57finding a wife, well, hopefully.
00:50:01See, lately you've been growing kind of close to me.
00:50:04And I want to give you love, real love, like it's supposed to be.
00:50:08And that's it.
00:50:09Oh, that was so good!
00:50:12I'm glad you liked it.
00:50:13Babe, that was so good.
00:50:15I'm glad you liked it.
00:50:17I don't think I ever expected to meet anybody
00:50:20or connect with anybody the way that I've connected with you.
00:50:25Getting to know you and really getting to know your mind
00:50:27and your heart and your soul,
00:50:28I've really started to fall in love with you, you know.
00:50:31And you are a beautiful person.
00:50:34You really inspire me.
00:50:36You inspire me to be a better person, to be a better man.
00:50:39And to love as much as I can, you know, and to really open my heart.
00:50:43It just feels incredible.
00:50:45And for that, I want you to stand up for me.
00:50:49Just come to the window.
00:50:53I'm even shy.
00:50:55You're shy?
00:50:56I'm shy, babe.
00:50:57Yeah, I'm feeling a little bit shy myself right now.
00:51:00But let me know when you're there.
00:51:01Yeah, I'm here now.
00:51:03Perfect.
00:51:04Because Jasmine,
00:51:08I want to tell you how special you are to me.
00:51:12How much you mean to me.
00:51:15And I want to ask you
00:51:20if you'll marry me.
00:51:27You know what, sometimes, right,
00:51:29you just think that you're not deserving of this kind of love.
00:51:36No, and, like, every sign was pointing me towards you.
00:51:42It feels right.
00:51:45And I know I'm making the right decision.
00:51:47It's been you all along.
00:51:49Of course, baby.
00:51:52Of course.
00:51:54Wow.
00:51:55Wow.
00:51:57What a moment.
00:51:58What a moment.
00:52:00I'm so soppy today.
00:52:02Yeah.
00:52:03Oh, babe.
00:52:04Incredible.
00:52:05I'm going to stand up now.
00:52:12You know, I can tell you I'll do my best.
00:52:15I'll be here for you.
00:52:17Whenever you need me.
00:52:19I love you, babe.
00:52:20Yeah, I love you.
00:52:21I love you to bits.
00:52:22Yeah, I can't wait to see you.
00:52:24Well, you better get ready for me.
00:52:26I'm so, so ready.
00:52:27I think I'm ready for you.
00:52:30We'll see.
00:52:32We will.
00:52:33All right, Jasmine.
00:52:34Bye, baby.
00:52:35Love you. Bye-bye.
00:52:36Bye. Love you, too.
00:52:39Oh, my God.
00:52:42You know, I've been in, like, so many relationships
00:52:45where I've been wanting this.
00:52:48And, um, I've just never felt like I've deserved it.
00:52:52But, like, he sees me for who I am.
00:52:55And he's really happy with that.
00:52:58That you proposed to me.
00:53:00So, yeah, he's my man now.
00:53:02Well, he's been my man since day one.
00:53:04But, like, you know, he's officially my man.
00:53:08Would you actually wet yourself in the pool?
00:53:10Yeah!
00:53:12CHEERING
00:53:22She said yes!
00:53:27I'm engaged. I've got a fiancé.
00:53:31Falling in love and developing feelings
00:53:33without actually picturing somebody
00:53:35or seeing somebody for the first time
00:53:37is something that I didn't think was possible.
00:53:39But it feels amazing.
00:53:41And I came in with an open heart.
00:53:43And Jasmine is all of the things that I want in a woman.
00:53:46And much more.
00:53:47Unbelievable, man. That's all I can say, boys.
00:53:50And now I'm engaged!
00:53:52Oh, my God!
00:53:54Yes, I had feelings for Jasmine,
00:53:56so that was a tough pill to swallow.
00:53:58But at the end of the day, it's her loss, you know?
00:54:00I'm just gonna dust myself off.
00:54:02And the fact that Nicole is on the other side of that pod still
00:54:04means something.
00:54:06My partner for life, my best friend.
00:54:08Someone who could be the wife of my kids.
00:54:10Let's go date!
00:54:11That's all I want.
00:54:12That's all I wanted coming into this experiment.
00:54:14Someone to love me and someone for me to love.
00:54:16And as much as love is a really strong word,
00:54:19I'm on the pathway to love.
00:54:21Morning, wifey.
00:54:23Ah! Morning!
00:54:25Oh, I'm so happy.
00:54:27I can't stop thinking of... Oh, it's just mad.
00:54:31So, did you get it?
00:54:33Wait, I see a little box.
00:54:35OK.
00:54:36And rose petals. This is so cute.
00:54:39Got it?
00:54:40Oh!
00:54:42It's my very, very lucky bracelet.
00:54:45This is the sweetest...
00:54:47Oh, honestly, thank you so much.
00:54:50I love that.
00:54:51It might smell a little bit.
00:54:52I've had it for eight years. It's my lucky bracelet.
00:54:54Oh, I was smelling it, thinking it would smell of you.
00:54:58I just looked at it and I was like, this is for you.
00:55:00Like, this just felt right, so...
00:55:02I just want you to wear it
00:55:03and just know that it's like a token from me
00:55:05to how I feel about you.
00:55:07Aw.
00:55:08I want you to know that because I've been married before
00:55:11and this, for me, is a big decision,
00:55:13I feel like we should still trust the process, you know?
00:55:16Yeah, I fully respect that.
00:55:18I know we've got to do what we've got to do,
00:55:20but I don't want to sit in a booth with anyone else.
00:55:24I think you are everything I've been looking for my whole life.
00:55:27Aw.
00:55:28I genuinely believe that.
00:55:29I've had a gut feeling since this whole process has started
00:55:31and I've just known from day one,
00:55:35I think you deserve someone special in your life
00:55:39and I just hope, I'm hoping I'm that person
00:55:42because I've come here to find my wife.
00:55:44Yeah.
00:55:45And, yeah, I just knew.
00:55:47I just, I don't know, it's so bizarre.
00:55:49It's so bizarre.
00:55:52You know, it's so funny.
00:55:53I've never in my life met a guy
00:55:56who just wears his heart on his sleeve like you do.
00:56:00You really just say what you think.
00:56:03You are who you are and I really appreciate that.
00:56:06Yeah.
00:56:07You know?
00:56:08Just can't wait.
00:56:09I can't wait to see you.
00:56:10I've already pictured that moment.
00:56:11I'm just going to hug you and squeeze...
00:56:13I'm going to pick you up.
00:56:14Well, I think, no, I'm joking.
00:56:16You will be able to.
00:56:18Huh?
00:56:19I can't say it, can I?
00:56:20I can't say anything about my physical attributes,
00:56:22but, yes, yes.
00:56:24But, no, I'm just super happy that you're just such a nice person.
00:56:28You're what I needed.
00:56:31Have an amazing day.
00:56:32Aw, you too.
00:56:33And, yeah, just enjoy the bracelet and I'm so happy.
00:56:37I can't wait to talk to you tomorrow.
00:56:39Have a lovely day.
00:56:40Thank you, Nicole.
00:56:46Oh, gosh.
00:56:47Like, sorry, I just need a minute.
00:56:49I need a minute.
00:56:51Yeah, it's been really good.
00:56:52I'm honestly in shock how just you can really connect
00:56:56with someone without even seeing them.
00:56:59He's just, honestly, a lovely person,
00:57:02and I think, for me, he's shown me that he just has
00:57:05so much faith in our connection.
00:57:08Hey!
00:57:10With Benaiah, I just feel like sometimes I'm pulling teeth
00:57:13when there's conversation about, like, future
00:57:15and about that sort of vision.
00:57:17We just haven't quite got there,
00:57:19but Sam is really committed to us, you know,
00:57:22and that feels really good and peaceful.
00:57:25I don't want to, like, come in here and be like,
00:57:27ooh, but it was a woo.
00:57:28Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:57:29Just in case someone's had a bad time, but...
00:57:31My gut is telling me to explore with Sam.
00:57:35That was amazing.
00:57:36Fucking great.
00:57:37Everything you wanted it to be.
00:57:38Yeah, she just said one weird thing, though.
00:57:40What was it?
00:57:41It was so weird.
00:57:42What was it?
00:57:43So I said, I can't wait to run down...
00:57:45You can't wait to what?
00:57:46Run down, meet her, kiss her, cuddle her,
00:57:48pick you up and kiss you and cuddle you.
00:57:50And Nicole would be, like, freaked out,
00:57:52and she was like, oh, my God, yeah, me too,
00:57:54but, like, oh, it might not be it.
00:57:56And then I was like, what?
00:57:57Like, do you want a girl to pick you up?
00:57:59Like, was she implying something, like...
00:58:01No, she's probably spraying her ankle or something.
00:58:03Yeah, it could be that, it could be...
00:58:05Ankle spray?
00:58:06Yeah, she, yeah.
00:58:07I like me, but, like, that's fine,
00:58:09like, if someone's a bit, but, like...
00:58:11It's a weird thing to say.
00:58:14Nicole does have another connection with Sam,
00:58:17and I genuinely want what is best for her,
00:58:20and I have to protect her,
00:58:22because I...
00:58:23I care about her.
00:58:26There's been a lot of questions around, like, authenticity
00:58:29and genuine reasons for Sam being here,
00:58:31and I never wanted to be, like, they said this, that, that.
00:58:34I don't want to sabotage anybody's experience.
00:58:37But that, like, realisation...
00:58:39I'm not protective over her.
00:58:41I'm not wanting her to get hurt.
00:58:43I'd have to almost throw somebody under the bus.
00:58:47If I don't say this,
00:58:49then I'm probably going to...
00:58:52regret it, because there's a potential for her
00:58:55to get very hurt in this scenario.
00:58:58I don't know.
00:58:59It's the right thing to do.
00:59:00You think?
00:59:01It's the right thing to do.
00:59:08I think it's important that Nicole and I have a conversation.
00:59:11The last time I saw her,
00:59:12I couldn't give her the assurances over an immediate proposal.
00:59:16I'm just kicking myself, and I've learnt a lot.
00:59:18I've learnt from my mistake here.
00:59:20Hello.
00:59:21Hello.
00:59:22Hi, how are you?
00:59:23Good, how are you doing?
00:59:24I'm good, thank you.
00:59:26This is lovely.
00:59:27I've seen the bouquet and, like, wine and everything.
00:59:30It's so cute.
00:59:31Good, I'm glad.
00:59:32I think I'm going to be very open and honest about everything.
00:59:35That's how I... That's how I am.
00:59:37That's how I do things.
00:59:39So, yeah, it'll be interesting to see what happens.
00:59:42How are you doing?
00:59:43Yeah, I mean, I've got a lot to talk to you about.
00:59:46OK.
00:59:47What about you?
00:59:48Yeah, I'm good.
00:59:49I was just thinking about some of our conversations yesterday,
00:59:53and some of it was really kind of...
00:59:56I feel like we get on, we have fun, we enjoy each other,
01:00:01but I just can't imagine you'd be ready.
01:00:06Like, I feel a spiritual connection.
01:00:08I feel, like, I'm going to call it a kindred spirit.
01:00:12Like, you're very much like-minded.
01:00:15At the same time,
01:00:17I just don't feel that there'd be that readiness to take that step.
01:00:21OK.
01:00:23I have thought of a future together.
01:00:25OK.
01:00:26That connection that we've had, I genuinely believe it's there.
01:00:29I put myself out there and just say, yeah, I want to...
01:00:32I want to...
01:00:34Yeah, be with you.
01:00:38I appreciate you saying that.
01:00:40I mean, jeez.
01:00:43You know, oh, my goodness, it's like...
01:00:46I... Yeah.
01:00:49I don't know. It's, like, crazy, cos...
01:00:53If I'm honest, there is another connection I'm exploring.
01:00:57No, I imagine that would have been the case.
01:01:01Yeah.
01:01:02Genuinely, you may have a stronger connection with the other person,
01:01:06which is, like, fine, you have to do what's best by you,
01:01:10but I do have this deep care for you and I want to protect you.
01:01:14OK.
01:01:16I'm going to be brutally honest, because this involves you and your future
01:01:21and you need to hear this for your own sake.
01:01:24OK.
01:01:26Ooh. Um...
01:01:29I know the strong connections you have with Sam.
01:01:32OK.
01:01:35Back.
01:01:38Um...
01:01:41Trust.
01:01:42This is really, really difficult, because I'm, like...
01:01:45For me, it's, er...
01:01:51I don't want this to be seen as, like, sabotage.
01:01:55Because that's not who I am.
01:01:58Um...
01:01:59Back.
01:02:00Can you just... Like, you need to just trust me with this information,
01:02:04but I need to know, cos I need to know.
01:02:06OK. Yeah.
01:02:09Well...
01:02:12..I know it's Sam.
01:02:15From what's been said...
01:02:19..he's not here for genuine reasons.
