00:00Previously, here we go. We're in business. Three brave singles have to pick between just two love matches.
00:06Who should I choose? One based on their usual wants and desires.
00:11She definitely seems like a girl I would have got with. The other on their deeper romantic needs.
00:16They always say the nice guy finishes last, but the nice guy is going to finish first this time.
00:20Blind dates with their chosen match, when better for some.
00:24There was not a single part of that date that I didn't enjoy. Than others.
00:28I am actually disappointed. Now. Dating now is really difficult. It's a mind build out there.
00:34Three more hopefuls. I'm ready to commit to someone. Will face the same dilemma.
00:39They both seem very different, but this is all free text.
00:43Choosing one of two expertly chosen matches. I'm excited for the first moment to see her.
00:48Hello. All six will be taking the bold step of moving in with their new love interest.
00:55But what neither of the singles nor their new matches are expecting is the explosive love triangle twist.
01:06The other girl just text me. Oh, yes.
01:19Having met just once on a blind date.
01:22Oh, my God. Today, three of the singles are taking a leap into the unknown.
01:26Wow. Look at this dog. By moving in with their chosen matches.
01:31Now I'm getting nervous. Hello.
01:41The strongest women in the world. Hey, Jen.
01:46In choosing Brody, Lloyd went for his usual fun flirty type.
01:51But that blind date got off to a rocky start.
01:54If I saw Brody on a date in that, to be honest, I would not match with her.
02:00Why is it you do full time DJ DJ?
02:03So wait, have you got loads of people there when you've been away?
02:06So approximately 300. Oh, my God.
02:11Massive, massive red flags as the night went on.
02:14Sure. Say good night. Things got less frosty.
02:17I think my energy is much. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:19Hundred percent. I feel no. And then I felt, yes.
02:22Spell on you. I do feel like I need to explore it more to see kind of what happens,
02:28you know. Oh, no, stop it.
02:35Hopefully Brody will be up for sharing a bed with me
02:38because that would be most normal when you're living together with someone.
02:43What side of the bed do you like to sleep on?
02:48So the bedroom situation was awkward. Do you think we should be sharing the same bed?
02:54Yeah. Interesting. You're supposed to be the wifey.
02:59Yeah, yeah. And I'm supposed to be the man of the house.
03:04Oh, right. I'm shocked that he's not able to read that.
03:08I'm like, maybe not a bit too soon.
03:10You know, for me, like I'm just not ready to share the same bed.
03:15That's just how I feel. I hope like you are like cool with that.
03:19I'm not saying no forever. I'm just like, you know what I mean?
03:22Okay, let me show you to your room. Okay. As long as it's nice.
03:27Yeah, look, it's even low in the ceiling here. Oh, it's made for small people.
03:33Oh my God, it's so cute. You're happy, yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:36Yeah. I really hope you don't take offense at that, by the way.
03:39I really don't mean that in like, do you know what I mean?
03:41I'm not like shutting it down. I just like feel.
03:44It's even more balanced in the bed here. Yeah, exactly. Imagine the things you could do.
03:48Yeah, I imagine. Can you hear that? Yeah, I can hear that.
03:53So I feel like he's given off like man of the house Tarzan vibes.
03:57I mean, read a room. When we do eventually sleep in the same bed.
04:02Oh, right, okay. It doesn't mean I want to shag.
04:05Okay, so, you know, okay. Thanks for clearing that up.
04:10If she wants to be alone, then I'll let her do that.
04:17Oh, you are one lucky lady, you know. Instant ick when people check themselves out in the mirror.
04:23Did you just twerk your pecs at me? Oh, did I just do that?
04:26Yeah, you just did that. You didn't even realize you were doing it.
04:28Oh, yeah, it just happens. Yeah, that's interesting.
04:31Well, does it turn you on? No. No, don't ever do that, man.
04:36It's turning you on right now. You're getting a little moisty, eh? I can feel the heat.
04:44So for the record and for the avoidance of doubt,
04:48my vagina is dry at the moment. Very, very dry. Don't ever do that again.
04:55Knock, knock. Come in. Hi. Oh, you look all snug. You look like you literally live here.
05:05I do. After favoring Mark Owen impersonator Matt over her usual bad boy type.
05:12Hi. Hey. Jasmine's first impressions.
05:16He's not what I pictured. If I saw him across the bar,
05:19I don't think I would go over there. Got things off to a shaky start.
05:23I was in a Take That tribute band. What are you called? Rule the World.
05:28It's not like one of the cheesy names. I was going to say Take Twat.
05:30That would have been really funny. But Matt's softer side won Jasmine over.
05:35So Jasmine, I need to tell you before we actually live together. Basically, my hand looks like that.
05:39You didn't need to tell me, but I appreciate that.
05:41Yeah, I did. Because, yeah, I did. He's not my usual type.
05:46I have gone different, but different is good.
05:49We like different. This is insane.
05:52Yeah, I know. I'm glad you feel the same. Are these real books?
05:57Touch the books. Touch the books. I'm really excited.
06:00I definitely feel like I've made the right decision with Matt.
06:03So no water fights, no food fights, no slip and slide. No movement.
06:07No, I know. Have you ever done a slip and slide? What's it called? Slip and slide.
06:10Not slip inside. No. Just needed to. You can't be funnier than me.
06:14No, I'm not. Don't do that. Don't do that.
06:16I'm glad you can be the funny one. That's fine. Okay, let's look at the rooms.
06:19Regarding the bedroom situation, I feel like I'm going to try and be a gentleman
06:24and suggest that there's no pressure for anything. Just take things slow.
06:29So, yeah, this is definitely going to be yours then because it's got the bath.
06:32It's up to you. I don't mind. As long as I get to use it.
06:36Baby, I'll schedule you in. Thank you. For a bath once a week.
06:41We really did bounce off of each other.
06:43At first, I was like, he's really sweet and really nervous and a little bit shy.
06:47But I don't think he is. I think he does have a bit of something about him.
06:50And I quite like that. Cheers. Take that.
06:55Take that. I'm starting to see that there's this other side to Jazz.
07:00It makes her even more endearing and attractive.
07:04And yeah, I would say that I fancy her.
07:08But I feel like I should not say that at this stage, but I keep saying it.
07:11So I've just got to own it. Yeah, I fancy her. I'm pissed now.
07:17To the bedroom. I'm joking. You're not.
07:27Oh, hey. This isn't all your stuff, is it?
07:32Yeah. Mike, I didn't think we'd be wearing that many clothes.
07:37Wanting to settle down, Mike picked Kelly from his two love matches.
07:43Hey. It was instant attraction.
07:47You look amazing. So do you. So do you. I'm glad that we're matching.
07:50I mean, she's absolutely gorgeous, like a stunner.
07:53It was followed by the perfect blind date.
07:56You got big hands. He is very sexy.
08:03One can only hope that he's all in proportion.
08:12I don't think the first date could have gone any better.
08:14What's next after the kiss? Who knows?
08:17You're just going to have to watch and find out.
08:21It's good to see you. You smell amazing.
08:24The move today. I was so excited. I couldn't wait to just see Mike again.
08:29You look nice. So do you. I can't stop smiling.
08:33It's really embarrassing. There's a dressing room.
08:38Wow. Is the bed long enough? No.
08:46Oh, my God. So good. This is amazing.
08:51Yeah, the bedroom situation.
08:57I'm a gentleman, right? The ball is in her court.
09:01I kind of think that we should maybe like go into this experiment thing properly.
09:09Sharing a space. We'll get to know each other better.
09:12Yeah, might as well dive right in. Yeah. See how it goes.
09:15Yeah. So when we talk to you tomorrow morning.
09:19And I'm walking funny because he's got a size 15 feet.
09:24Oh, God. Okay, deal.
09:27Settled. High five.
09:32I might be a little bit happy. She said she wanted to share a bed.
09:37If you ever lose me, this is where I'll be.
09:40You know, why do it, you know, halfheartedly?
09:42Let's let's let's go full throttle.
09:47If you put me in a kitchen without a chocolate, I can't keep my hands off it.
09:50So what am I going to do in a bed next to him?
09:54Lovely. Let's just do this now.
09:59I knew that was your game. Yeah, we're in that one.
10:01Can't trust you in the dark.
10:05On a Sunday, when you're a bit hanging, it is a little bit lonely.
10:10That's when you go on a date and act like, no, no, no.
10:14Zara Lina. You don't even need to be on a date enough to get dick pics now.
10:18I get them on Instagram. I get them on Facebook and everywhere.
10:21Danica. I don't know how it's going to go, but I'm going to try.
10:24And Dan. I think it takes like one or two dates before you can really get into it.
10:28I think it takes like one or two dates before you can really get into it.
10:32And Dan. I think it takes like one or two dates before I know I'm probably going to fall in love with them.
10:36Are the next three singles to enter the love triangle experiment.
10:40Do you actually see my hoop earrings?
10:43In two days, they'll pick one of two love matches,
10:47but must get to know them via text only. No pictures or visual clues allowed.
10:53Going on a date, having not met them yet is wild.
10:57First to make her momentous decision is 31-year-old businesswoman Zara Lina.
11:03Hell yeah, I'm a boss bitch.
11:11I like to stand out. I'm very independent. I run my own business.
11:15I'm successful at anything I put my mind to.
11:18My dad, I mean, he's incredible. He got an OBE. He's just a genius.
11:23But growing up, he was always very much on his phone, very much on his laptop.
11:27Even though now I'm quite entrepreneurial, I don't want that life for me.
11:31I don't want to be constantly working, but I'll never live off a man, ever.
11:36I like to have my own independence, which is probably why I always go for a younger guy.
11:42Young, dumb and living off mum.
11:45How would you describe your sex life?
11:47At the moment, it's very dull.
11:51Normally, I have a very high sex drive. Sorry, everyone.
11:56I'm such a cougar.
11:59Going forward, it'd be ideal to have someone that's more mature,
12:04got their financial independence.
12:08Just someone that I respect and that respects me.
12:12Lockdown was definitely a life-changing period for me.
12:18I actually lost all my hair to stress,
12:21so it did put a massive strain on my relationship at the time.
12:27You know, it stripped my identity completely.
12:30It challenged every aspect of my life.
12:33Out of that, I decided to launch my own cosmetics range,
12:37which helps people that have hair loss like myself get their identity back.
12:42When someone meets me, they don't know that I'm going to look different every single day.
12:47But for me, I need someone that really loves me for me.
12:51I'm on treatment now, which is why I've got my hair.
12:54But if I were going to have a baby, all this treatment, it would stop.
12:58I've got to then go through that exact same process of losing my hair again,
13:01so I have to make sure with the next person,
13:04they're prepared for what may happen in the future.
13:09There's no better time, really.
13:11I'm 31, and I would love to have a family of my own.
13:16I'm definitely at a stage where I'm ready to love again.
13:21Zaralina's been matched with fun young Yorkshireman Lloyd
13:25and property developer Simon from Merseyside.
13:29One's her usual mid-20s type, the other is what she needs.
13:34Older and more her equal in terms of age and entrepreneurial ambition.
13:41You're going to find it hard to try and figure out what a person's like.
13:44I'm quite good at reading people.
13:46Zaralina has just 48 hours to choose between Lloyd and Simon
13:51before they meet on a blind date and move in together.
13:55I literally cannot tell you how nervous I'm feeling right now.
13:58Simon.
14:05I'll just give you a little head massage whilst we're waiting for this reply.
14:09A lot of guys normally go, yeah, I like blondes or I like brunettes,
14:13and I'm like, well, I can be everything.
14:18Looks to me are important,
14:20but personality is probably the most important thing.
14:22OK, that's a good chart, yeah, that's a good chart.
14:26I absolutely work to live so that I can do OK for myself
14:31so that I can enjoy other aspects of life.
14:33I like that.
14:39The best thing that I bring to a relationship, I think, is loyalty, security,
14:43and I can have good fun.
14:45He's more mature, has his independence.
14:48Pretty easy to get along with.
14:50I think I'm a joy to live with.
14:55OK, so my second person's Lloyd.
14:57I'm going to start this one off a bit differently.
15:04Normally I wouldn't be this forward, like, asking questions like that,
15:07but that's what you've got to do in this situation.
15:15I love that kind of, like, cheeky banter.
15:18Sex is very important for me. I'm quite spontaneous with sex.
15:21I like to move around and explore the room, explore the house,
15:25explore wherever we are.
15:27I think Lloyd will be similar to my usual choice.
15:30He's my type.
15:32Bit of a naughty boy, let's say it, like cheeky.
15:35I would like to think I'm a catch.
15:37I'm outgoing, funny, one of the boys, one of the last at the party.
15:42I'm always up for a good time.
15:44I would consider myself pretty cheeky.
15:46Try and get away with murder with my smile.
15:57I mean, obviously I like a big knob, but I can't say that!
16:05It does feel like I'm reverting to Thai.
16:08Get some class, Zara.
16:12Oh, my God!
16:19I've done that.
16:23Yeah, I don't want to try that one.
16:29You haven't even got me in bed yet. Slow down.
16:36Simon. OK.
16:38I quite like that they said that.
16:50It would be nice to find someone ambitious,
16:53someone that's got a very similar mindset to me.
16:56Oh, this is really tricky now, cos earlier I was like,
17:00yeah, I think I'm going to go for Lloyd, because the conversations flow.
17:06Oh, this is so hard.
17:13Can you describe your looks?
17:15Oh, I'm 10-10.
17:21What are your 9-5 jobs?
17:23Eight till six.
17:25Don't miss them two hours a day.
17:28I'm an open book and I'm always just me.
17:30You could ask me absolutely anything about myself
17:33and I'd give you my honest answer,
17:35but if I don't know you or have respect for you,
17:39then I'm not here for you, because I don't care what you think of me
17:43and I don't care if you judge me, it's fine.
17:49I would definitely say that I'm a good friend.
17:53I'm always building a flat pack for them, looking after the children.
18:04I've got a really good family, I've got really good friends.
18:07The only thing I don't have in my life currently is a man.
18:10So do you think you need someone that's going to draw out the softer side in you?
18:14So someone that will make you feel comfortable to talk about your feelings?
18:19I'm single because I...
18:24..was in a relationship.
18:26That relationship has affected me long-term.
18:31At the time, I found it so hard to leave it.
18:34It's definitely the only time that my heart has been broken
18:38and I'm scared to get that low again.
18:41That's what scarred me now and made me put up such a barrier.
18:47I know that I'm never going to be able to hold down a relationship
18:51if I can't truly open myself up.
18:56So I usually go for a guy who is bubbly, fun,
19:00definitely a bit of an adrenaline junkie.
19:03I need someone who is open and is good at communicating
19:07and can bring out my more vulnerable side.
19:12And have this forever, my person.
19:16I don't feel like I'm asking for too much.
19:19Trainee PT Danika's matches are both sporty but different
19:23in terms of her wants and needs.
19:26Yoga fanatic Jack and extreme sportsman Mo.
19:30Mo is her usual fun, energetic type.
19:33And Jack has a more spiritual take on life,
19:37which will challenge Danika,
19:39encouraging her to open up and explore a deeper connection.
19:44What am I going to message him first?
19:47Tell me something interesting about yourself.
19:58Oh, God, what are you going to reply to that?
20:00Now I don't even know.
20:01I started skiing when I was, like, 15, 16
20:03and I just kind of fell in love with it.
20:06I've never, like, not been an energetic person.
20:08Like, I've always been bubbly, outgoing.
20:11If I'm having a quiet day, people think that something's wrong.
20:15Best case scenario, I walk out of here with a girlfriend
20:18who can match my energy.
20:20Dating me is like going on a rollercoaster
20:24into a mountain full of your wildest dreams.
20:29No way.
20:31Oh, my God.
20:34I see what you're doing there, honey.
20:36Yeah, oh, my God, yeah, he works hard.
20:38OK, so this is from Jack.
20:41I'm curious to know more about you two.
20:43My energy type is a projector.
20:48What does that mean?
20:50I don't know. Stop it.
20:51Stop it? What does that mean?
20:54I don't know.
20:56What does that mean?
21:01One of the most important things in my life is my spiritual health.
21:08I'd much rather have that time to myself,
21:11focusing on things that enhance my spiritual side.
21:15I'm all about communication.
21:17I think it's really important to create that safe space
21:21in a healthy relationship.
21:23I don't know, this is a lot.
21:25I feel like I'm going to have to come back to it.
21:27Yeah, it's really confusing.
21:29I don't even know.
21:30I'm sorry, Jack, but, yeah, yeah.
21:33Yeah, we need time to think about it. 100%.
21:36I just feel like with Mo, it's effortless,
21:38whereas Jack, right now, I'm confused by him.
21:41He's not my normal type that I would go for.
21:48Are you a monkey? Are you sitting here?
21:51After two days of texting,
21:53Zaralina must now choose between younger Yorkshireman Lloyd
21:57and Simon from Merseyside.
22:00Simon was lovely and really, really nice.
22:03He was very independent. He's a little bit more mature.
22:07I think the only concern with Lloyd is type.
22:10I think he's going to be a bit younger than me, yeah.
22:12I have decided on who I'm going to pick.
22:14Oh, my God!
22:18There's a lot at stake here.
22:20This date could literally be life-changing for me.
22:23I just feel like he's more me.
22:25I feel like he's got more chat about him,
22:28and I just feel like with the other one, it's just, I don't know,
22:31something was just missing.
22:32I'm really nervous.
22:34Like, never asked anyone if they want to go on a date before.
22:44Oh, my God.
22:51I'm really nervous.
22:55Oh, my God.
22:58Hello?
23:00Hi, is that Lloyd?
23:02Yeah, it's Lloyd.
23:04Hi, it's Zara.
23:06How is all this?
23:08Yeah, it's crazy.
23:10I've never done that with Lloyd before.
23:12So, if we go on a date this weekend...
23:16Don't trade.
23:17Well, I'll, yeah, leave that there, then,
23:21and I'll see you this weekend.
23:25Yeah, see you then.
23:26I don't know, it was nice speaking.
23:28Yeah, you too.
23:29See you soon.
23:31Oh, my God!
23:33I really can't visualise what it's going to look like from his voice, though.
23:37Oh, my God.
23:39Oh, my God.
23:41Oh, my God.
23:44Oh, my God.
23:45We've got to go on a date and essentially live together,
23:48so I feel crazy.
23:50I look like a crazy lady right now.
23:55Oh, this is so hard!
23:59Danika is still torn between giving in to the fun flightiness
24:04she's often drawn to from extreme sportsman Mo...
24:08At the minute, it's definitely 50-50, 100%.
24:11..or going down a less familiar, more serious path
24:15with the more spiritual Jack.
24:18In regards to Jack, yesterday, it was just a bit much,
24:20it was just a bit heavy for a first text, I wasn't sure.
24:23Mo I'm getting good vibes from,
24:25but I still don't really have a lot of information.
24:37Mo says that he is fun, but this is all through text.
24:42I still actually don't know.
24:44They both seem very different.
24:48I'm going to text Jack.
24:50What would you say your core values are?
24:57Being emotionally open is something that I'm going to struggle with
25:01because I'm not used to it.
25:12TEXT MESSAGE ALERT
25:30Oh, I think I need a minute.
25:36This is making me feel emotional.
25:38Should I go for somebody who's going to take me out of my comfort zone?
25:42Having made the decision now, I'm just feeling a bit, like...
25:46..just a little bit nervous.
25:54Hello?
25:56Hello? Hello, you all right, Jack?
25:58Hi.
26:00So, I was, yeah, just wondering if you wanted to go on a date.
26:04I would want to go on a date with you. Oh, you would?
26:07What was it about our little chat that made you want to ask me on a date?
26:11You seem quite, like, free-spirited
26:14and you don't sound like you care what other people think of you.
26:18You could say that again.
26:20All right, then, Jack, so I guess I'll be talking to you soon.
26:23OK. All right, bye. Bye. Bye.
26:31He is definitely the one that I wouldn't usually go for.
26:35He sounds quite posh.
26:37Guess we'll find out on the date!
26:46I would never go into a first date without a wig.
26:48Just because I get nervous as it is on a first date,
26:51I do worry that they're going to not find me attractive.
26:57Doesn't matter how many people say to me,
26:59oh, you look amazing without a wig,
27:01it is always going to be an insecurity.
27:06And the nerves are kicking in.
27:10Just your white wine is supposed to do it.
27:12Oh, thank God!
27:14Literally read my mind there. Thank you so much. Enjoy.
27:19I'm hoping he's down to earth.
27:21Looks-wise, I have no idea what to expect.
27:25I am here to find someone for love.
27:27So, hopefully, I do have physical attraction when I meet Lloyd.
27:33And find out what he's all about.
27:44HE SIGHS
27:46HE SIGHS
27:56Hello.
28:10Hello.
28:12How are you? All right. I'm good, thank you.
28:14All right. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
28:16I'm sorry. Nice to put a face to...
28:20A text? Yeah, behind the...
28:22It was so random, wasn't it? Yeah, crazy.
28:24I've never even done a blind date, never mind.
28:26I've never... I've never blind dated.
28:28So, but, yeah.
28:30Oh, lovely. Thank you.
28:32I'm not actually that hungry, but I'm going to pay.
28:34I'm going to eat as much as I can.
28:36I'm here for the tequila and wine. Yeah.
28:38Yeah, you tell me you're a tequila fan.
28:40Yeah, well, that just comes with it, I suppose.
28:42Yeah. So, how old are you?
28:44I'm 26.
28:48Have you ever dated a younger guy?
28:50Mm-hm.
28:52Is that, like, a preference, or...?
28:54Um...
28:56It's just sort of how it's fallen?
28:58Mm. What about you?
29:00I've... I've been with both, to be honest.
29:02Have you?
29:04Older and younger. Yeah?
29:06It's about a cougar. Yeah.
29:08Are you feeling it?
29:10I'll be totally honest.
29:12The initial connection isn't there,
29:14attraction-wise. It could change.
29:16I'm not ruling it off,
29:18but I'm wanting to rip his pants off.
29:20No.
29:22What's the craziest thing you've done in the last year?
29:24I had a bucket list.
29:26I was wanting to go to a sex party.
29:30I don't know if I told you this when we were speaking in text.
29:34Er, I don't think you did, though.
29:36Yeah, I went to a sex party. It was amazing.
29:38Did you?
29:40Mm.
29:42You have to wear, like, bondage wear.
29:44You have to be in fetish.
29:46That's mad. That's mad.
29:48Yeah, you just go, and it's in a club,
29:50it's, like, on different floors.
29:52But I just wanted to, like, experience,
29:54like, what it was.
29:56Yeah, it wasn't as seedy as I thought it'd be.
30:02I've never heard of all these things.
30:04You've never heard about a sex party?
30:08I definitely feel an age gap with him.
30:10I feel like he's a lot younger.
30:12No sweaty armpits,
30:14which means that I'm not nervous or intimidated,
30:16which is not a good sign.
30:20I have got a high sex drive, but I'm not, like...
30:22I wouldn't just sleep with anyone.
30:26Is there a physical attraction?
30:28Yeah, I definitely think there is a physical attraction, yeah.
30:30But I've never dated someone
30:32who's been to a sex party.
30:34That surprised me, to be honest.
30:36When I'm in a relationship,
30:38I've had, like, an ex once say to me,
30:40you're only ever happy if you've got, like, coffee or sex.
30:42Really? Yeah.
30:44I think I'm going to eat him alive.
30:46I think I'm going to intimidate the crap out of him.
30:58This date means a lot to me,
31:00because, obviously, it's been years
31:02since I've had any emotional connection with anybody,
31:04and it is scary.
31:08I'm just scared of being in love.
31:10Getting my heart broken again,
31:12and it not working out.
31:16But I'm going into it.
31:18Balls beat.
31:20I'm going to go in it with an open heart
31:22and an open mind.
31:24Try and take it one step at a time.
31:34Thanks.
31:40I literally
31:42do not have a clue
31:44what he's going to look like.
31:46If he comes in beaded bracelets,
31:48dream patch, Jesus sandals on,
31:50and that, like, I don't know.
31:52I don't know.
31:54It's so awkward.
31:56Don't worry about it.
31:58I really
32:00do not know what to expect.
32:04Just hope he looks clean.
32:06And if he looks clean,
32:08then we're on to a win.
32:10Oh, wow.
32:14It's not him.
32:20Oh, fuck my life.
32:28I'm just hoping
32:30that he's taller than me,
32:32and I feel like there's a vibe around him
32:34that makes me feel welcome, rather than me
32:36feeling awkward straight away.
32:38He's not coming.
32:50Hi, Janika.
32:52You OK? Lovely to meet you.
32:54I like your dress.
32:56Wow, you're tall.
32:58I know, I get that a lot.
33:00I get that a lot.
33:02Thank you, mate. Cheers.
33:04Yeah, cheers.
33:06Thank you for asking me on a date.
33:08You're welcome.
33:10You're very different to kind of
33:12the image I had in my head.
33:14It was nice to do the messaging without
33:16kind of knowing what you look like.
33:18Yeah, I did obviously think that you were
33:20spiritual, and at first,
33:22I'm not even joking when I was texting you,
33:24in the cinema, yeah.
33:26I literally said that. I was like,
33:28where are we going to the cinema, then?
33:30But it just seemed like you were very open,
33:32and I'm not very open.
33:34So I just felt like
33:36you would probably bring out of the side of me
33:38that maybe I need to bring out of me.
33:40Explore.
33:42Yeah. I don't know why. Maybe you were spiritually saying,
33:44ding, ding, ding, ding,
33:46Janika!
33:48It was you.
33:50We are connected in the spiritual realm.
33:52Let's bring her in. Let's absorb her in.
33:54Is that what you think it's like?
33:56No, that's what you did.
33:58I don't know. It changed.
34:00So something happened. You got a little doll or something.
34:02Amazing. I love it.
34:04I'm feeling
34:06there's a connection with Janika.
34:08Not quite sure what type of connection yet.
34:10Maybe quite emotional.
34:12I feel like I'm going to bring out more of a mellow side in her,
34:14and I think she's going to bring out more
34:16of an upbeat and bubbly side in me.
34:18You've just got this pitch in your head of
34:20what spirituality means to me.
34:22Like I'm some magic carpet
34:24flying about.
34:26I don't even know.
34:28He's not my normal type.
34:30Probably wouldn't go for somebody like that if I was in a bar,
34:32but if it would have gone for in a bar,
34:34it wouldn't work, so...
34:36How long have you been single for?
34:38Technically single my whole life.
34:42Longest fling I've been in
34:44is two months.
34:46Really? Yeah.
34:48Yeah.
34:52Why the fuck have you never been in a relationship?
34:54What's wrong with you?
34:58Just someone hasn't aligned
35:00with me.
35:02And also I'm not willing to settle
35:04just for the sake of it.
35:06It's definitely a bit like
35:08he's never been in a relationship before.
35:10How can he know
35:12how to manage a relationship, or why hasn't he
35:14had a relationship, because he's 26?
35:16Yeah, it's definitely a bit weird.
35:24Yeah, 26.
35:26Why are you doing
35:28the experiment?
35:30Can we call it the experiment?
35:32Why not?
35:34I've been single for about a year.
35:36It's obviously been a good year.
35:38I've had fun.
35:40I've heard some of your stories.
35:42I'd like to find a girlfriend.
35:44Tell me about yourself, then.
35:46What do you do for work?
35:48I actually own a cosmetics line.
35:50Oh, do you?
35:52Yeah, for people with hair loss.
35:54Oh, lovely.
35:56I actually developed alopecia in lockdown.
36:00So I lost all my hair in six weeks.
36:02Head, face, body, everything.
36:04Right.
36:06Yeah, due to stress.
36:08Yeah, this wig.
36:10I have got hair now.
36:12You can see crap now.
36:14Would you have noticed?
36:16Never.
36:18Genuinely, I would have never thought.
36:20That's why I obviously launched my business.
36:22It was like my silver lining.
36:24Fair play to you for doing that.
36:26Like you say, that's close to you, as well.
36:28But all I would say is,
36:30take it one step at a time.
36:32I'm very much like that
36:34with my mindset, anyway.
36:36It's been nice to meet you.
36:38It's been eventful.
36:40Are you excited to live with me?
36:42Yeah, I am. I was actually surprised when I walked in.
36:44So that's a good thing.
36:46As the date went on,
36:48I did feel more chemistry.
36:50Right, shall we go there?
36:52He could be a grower.
36:56I'm not surprised, really.
36:58Obviously, I've not seen that.
37:00I'll see you tomorrow.
37:02See you.
37:04I think it could have potential.
37:06Time will tell.
37:08Fair play to her.
37:10She felt comfortable speaking about
37:12what she's been through.
37:14Sometimes you get all the looks
37:16and nothing to back it up.
37:18But she's actually a sound girl.
37:20I do fancy her.
37:22I am the fire.
37:24I am the bird.
37:26I am the lesson never learned.
37:28My approach to life
37:30is I live every day
37:32like it's a holiday.
37:34The final single
37:36to enter
37:38the Love Triangle experience
37:40is 27-year-old Dan.
37:42I grew up in a tiny village
37:44in New York.
37:46I grew up in a tiny village
37:48in New York.
37:50I grew up in a tiny village
37:52in North Wales where half of my school
37:54were Welsh speakers and there were lots
37:56of farmers' kids.
37:58Now I run my own company online.
38:00I'm ambitious,
38:02successful. I've been named
38:04top 10 entrepreneurs
38:06under 25 in the UK.
38:08And I've met the most talented people
38:10from across the planet.
38:12I like to think I'm
38:14good-looking.
38:16I've got a good physique.
38:18I can't actually mention on camera.
38:22The last piece of the puzzle for me
38:24is a successful, committed
38:26relationship.
38:28I usually go for mysterious,
38:30quiet types. Maybe what I need is
38:32someone more outgoing who can explore
38:34and see the world for me and have amazing memories
38:36with me.
38:40Why do you think you're single?
38:44I had a really bad heartbreak
38:46so that relationship ended very much because
38:48she wasn't ready
38:50for a serious relationship.
38:54The way she dealt with us
38:56going separate directions was completely
38:58blocking me out of her life.
39:00Yeah.
39:04I found that excruciatingly painful.
39:10I have fear of abandonment so
39:12I love the freedom of being able to work from
39:14anywhere throughout the world.
39:16It means I can have short-term connections
39:18with people, protecting myself.
39:22I do have my walls up
39:24a little bit but I am excited to meet
39:26someone and hopefully build a
39:28successful relationship with them.
39:32Dan's matches are Ali from
39:34Scotland and Essex girl Amy.
39:36Ali is Dan's usual
39:38type, career-focused
39:40with a tendency to play her cards
39:42to her chest. His other match,
39:44Amy, meets his needs
39:46as someone who will embrace his jet-set
39:48lifestyle and passion for
39:50spontaneous adventure.
39:54Now we wait.
39:56I'm quite excited to see
39:58what both of them will reply
40:00to that question. So Amy is typing.
40:08That's good. My entire
40:10life literally is holidays
40:12and travelling.
40:14I would describe myself as
40:16a little bit crazy. I'm very
40:18unpredictable in terms of
40:20absolutely everything. No one ever knows
40:22what they're going to get with me which is what makes it fun.
40:26Adventurer, which is one of my main
40:28personality traits. So she
40:30gets the tick in the box for that one.
40:32I think I do fall into the
40:34Essex stereotype of she's blonde,
40:36she's small
40:38and that I'm not very bright
40:40and then when I turn around and say I'm actually
40:42a teacher with a science degree,
40:44it shocks people
40:46and I like that.
40:56I want somebody that wants the same things now.
40:58I want someone that wants to travel, that wants to
41:00have a family, get married.
41:02I just want to meet my forever.
41:04She has the same
41:06sort of life view as me, which is good.
41:08So that's definitely good
41:10points for Amy right now.
41:12Oh, Ali's typing finally.
41:14We have a message.
41:16Hey hey, I'm Ali. Nice to chat
41:18with you. Oh wow, straight in with
41:20the tough questions.
41:22I guess you'll just have to wait and see.
41:24Ali seems more
41:26guarded, closed off.
41:28That's usually my type.
41:30She's making me want to wait
41:32and see more about who she is.
41:38I do have ambitions in terms
41:40of my career.
41:42I think it's super important for
41:44someone to support your career.
41:46I don't feel like I'm a physician where I can
41:48just drop everything and I'm going to travel
41:50the world for like five years.
41:52So I would love that.
41:54I like both of them so far.
41:56Amy,
41:58I'd probably get along with her more
42:00now from what she's saying, but Ali
42:02I'm more interested in finding out
42:04more about just because she is quite
42:06mysterious. I'm a bit
42:08torn.
42:12This is really hard, like really
42:14hard. I think both
42:16of them have amazing traits.
42:18I'd love to live with both of them.
42:20Amy ticks a lot of boxes.
42:26But for some reason
42:28my gut is telling me to go with Ali.
42:40I'm excited.
42:42I'm excited for the first moment to see her,
42:44to see if she's that person I painted in my head.
42:46She seems very driven
42:48and she knows what she wants
42:50in life.
42:52So how are you feeling about moving in together?
42:54I don't really know.
42:56I feel like we'll both be like
42:58open and communicative.
43:00Like that's the most important thing, communication, isn't it?
43:02I feel we'll just
43:04take on any challenge.
43:06Obviously it's probably going to be a little bit awkward at times.
43:08I don't think it'll be awkward.
43:10Yeah, I don't know.
43:12I don't feel awkward now.
43:14I mean, okay, I lied. I feel a little bit awkward.
43:16That's like majorly awkward.
43:18I feel a little bit awkward.
43:20Obviously I'm out of my comfort zone.
43:22But it's good to explore that being uncomfortable
43:24because then we'll both learn a lot about ourselves.
43:26Just take it each day.
43:28I think that's the best thing we can do.
43:30I think that's going to be the healthiest way to do things.
43:32There's not going to be a problem.
43:34Yeah.
43:36But I think we're going to have a lot of fun in there.
43:38I feel like we will.
43:40I feel like he's the type of guy that cares about my feelings.
43:42There is definitely
43:44an energy there.
43:46I just don't feel like I want to disclose it.
43:48I just don't feel like I want to disclose it.
43:50Whereas normally,
43:52my first instinct, I want to rip the clothes off,
43:54but I don't even know what the chat is.
43:58Two, been living life from the wild side
44:00without water.
44:02It's definitely wild.
44:04It's the wildest thing I've ever done in my life.
44:06Just going to keep a clear, open mind.
44:08Right, let's go.
44:10And just take it each day as it comes
44:12and go with it, roll with it, ride with it.
44:14Who knows, you might even meditate with it.
44:16All right then, well, lovely to meet you.
44:18See you in the house.
44:20I guess I'll see you.
44:22Bye.
44:24Bye.
44:28Did you try and go for a little kiss when you were leaving?
44:30Maybe a little kiss, but you know,
44:32she wasn't feeling it. It's not there in the first date.
44:34That's fine. You know, sometimes in first dates,
44:36I haven't kissed, it's been on the second date,
44:38so we'll see.
44:46Going into this completely blind
44:48is pretty nerve-wracking.
44:50I have no idea
44:52if I made the right choice,
44:54so I am quite nervous,
44:56but I'm also really excited.
45:00I know very quickly
45:02if I want to be with someone.
45:06I think it takes, like,
45:08one or two dates before I really know
45:10I'm probably going to fall in love with them.
45:12I'm quite scared of fully coming into someone
45:14just because I might get hurt again.
45:18I've had such a long time
45:20alone.
45:22This could be a pretty big day for me.
45:24I could meet someone who could be
45:26a huge part of my life.
45:32Hi, Dan.
45:34How's it going?
45:36Nice to meet you.
45:38Hi, Dan.
45:40How's it going?
45:42I'm good.
45:44How are you feeling?
45:46Are you not cold?
45:48I've got Scottish blood.
45:50Do you want my jacket?
45:52Do you want a drink or something?
45:54Yeah, let's go.
45:58When I first saw Ali,
46:00my reaction was my heart rate
46:02increasing massively.
46:04It's nice here.
46:06Yeah, it's nice.
46:08And I'm interested to find out more
46:10about her personality to see whether
46:12we'll have a good time living together.
46:14Cheers.
46:16Cheers.
46:20Okay, yeah, go for it.
46:22Okay, so I know you worked hard
46:24for four years, nine to five.
46:26I work in, like, clinical trials
46:28at the minute, which I love it.
46:30So there's, like, a strong sense of purpose
46:32with your job. Obviously it has a huge impact
46:34I love it. Like, I can't see myself
46:36doing anything different. It's cool. It's good fun.
46:38Yeah, how about you? What's your story?
46:40Um, so from a...
46:42Oh, wow.
46:44Thank you so much.
46:46I think we need a bigger table.
46:48Grazie.
46:50Thanks so much.
46:52So, grew up in a tiny village
46:54in North Wales in the mountains.
46:56All my friends were sheep farmers.
46:58Then I moved to Cardiff to study
47:00economics, and then after that
47:02I found a job, kept getting rejected.
47:04So I started my first company.
47:06That's why last week I was in L.A.
47:08Before that I was in Guatemala, before that Thailand.
47:10Oh, so do you, like, travel and work at the same time?
47:12Yeah, just digital nomads.
47:14That sounds good. As long as you're happy,
47:16I feel like that's the most important thing.
47:20You know, it's quite nice. I feel like conversations
47:22flowing. He seems nice.
47:24Yeah, it's going well, I think.
47:26Sorry, also, I was just thinking about the text.
47:28I'm a really terrible texter.
47:30I realise that.
47:34You were playing, like, quite hard to get.
47:36I think that wasn't intentional.
47:38Subconsciously, it made me, like,
47:40oh wow, it made me, like, mawk.
47:42I'm so mysterious.
47:44I'm not at all.
47:46I'm just a really shit texter.
47:48Her texting persona is,
47:50I think, very different to
47:52her real life persona.
47:54Obviously when she was texting she seemed more closed off,
47:56but now I've met her in person, she's very open.
47:58She seems like a very friendly person.
48:00Where has the best tattoo been?
48:02Oh, Costa Rica.
48:04You need to tell me about your tattoo.
48:06Yeah, it's on my knee.
48:08It says Pura Vida.
48:10Okay, what was the inspiration?
48:12When you go to
48:14Costa Rica, it's like a saying.
48:16So when you order food, when you get out of a taxi,
48:18when you meet someone, it's like Pura Vida, Pura Vida.
48:20And it just means, like, live your best life.
48:22To be honest, all my tattoos
48:24came from breakups.
48:26It ended
48:28quite badly,
48:30and I got really hurt.
48:32Yeah.
48:36It was, like, a really painful
48:38time in my life.
48:40Oh, wow. Are you okay now?
48:46Yeah, I'm okay.
48:48I'm still standing.
48:50Do you think you're over it?
48:52Getting there.
48:54Getting there. I'm not out of the pain yet.
48:56It's just, like, the way it ended
48:58really hurt me.
49:00Yeah.
49:02My escape mechanism is to travel.
49:04You know what? See, when you first told me
49:06when you were, like, yeah, I've been traveling for four years,
49:08like, so immediately I was, like,
49:10this person is running away from something.
49:14Do you think you're, like,
49:16you can offer stability?
49:18What, because I'm still traveling,
49:20you mean?
49:22No, just everything we just spoke about.
49:24Huh?
49:26Everything we just spoke about.
49:28I think the, like, curveball of him
49:30talking about his ex a little bit
49:32has kind of, like, made me a bit,
49:34like, okay.
49:36Like, a little bit guarded, for sure.
49:40Excited to move in.
49:44Am I excited to live with you?
49:46Uh, yeah.
49:48That was a delayed reaction.
49:50No, you're clearly not excited to live with me.
49:54She felt like, why have you come to this date
49:56if you're still holding pain from a previous relationship?
49:58Whereas the way I see it is,
50:00you know, it was such a painful time in my life
50:02that that's going to carry, be carried around
50:04me for quite a long time.
50:06But I feel right now that she is not
50:08considerate or empathetic
50:10towards it. She seemed like she was, like,
50:12smoking and smiling, which kind of really
50:14offended me quite a lot.
50:16She was nervous about being in one place
50:18for a long period of time.
50:20Interesting.
50:24It's not quite there yet, I don't think, for me.
50:26Shall we paddle?
50:28But, like, why not take a risk
50:30and see if there's anything more there?
50:32Like, I'm willing to give it a go.
50:38Wow, what a way to wake up!
50:40As domestic bliss continues
50:42for some,
50:44love is the last
50:46thing on others' minds.
50:48We're not compatible. This is never going to go anywhere.
50:50Do you think you're sitting there as if
50:52you're God's guest? We're never going to like each other.
50:54He's a 31-year-old
50:56man, baby. And as all six
50:58couples gather for the first time,
51:00a flirtation
51:02too far sparks scandal.
51:04Oh, my God.
51:06It's so muggy. I don't understand how someone
51:08can do that. You're saying to me,
51:10fuck your feelings, Jack. It doesn't matter.
51:12Who the fuck is around me? I'm here for my feelings.
51:14But it's an explosive dinner
51:16party twist.
51:24The other girl just texted me. It's from Danielle.
51:26Looking forward to our first date.
51:28Oh, my God!
51:30That sends the group reeling.
51:32I came here to meet someone
51:34and not have to compete anymore.
51:36You just don't know what's going to happen.
51:42Oh, my God.
