00:00I love that. That's what we're here for.
00:04Previously...
00:05I really want to make this work.
00:07As some marriages flourished...
00:09Stay.
00:10Stay.
00:11Stay, baby.
00:14Others floundered.
00:16I feel something in me just switched off.
00:19I'm not convinced we have a future.
00:22If Emma is just, I'm going to have a fabulous day every day, I find it false.
00:26Yes, I can be more vulnerable.
00:28Well, that's not me.
00:29That means that no one's ever really going to get close to you.
00:32And Hannah's plea for forgiveness...
00:34I'm so sorry.
00:35Fell on deaf ears.
00:37You don't believe me.
00:38No, I don't.
00:39So we're f***ed.
00:40Leading the commitment ceremony to end with two drastic decisions.
00:45The best thing for me to do would be to leave.
00:48I'm full of resentment.
00:49I've put leave.
00:53Tonight...
00:54Yes!
00:55The couples head off to a country retreat.
00:58This is nice.
00:59We're claiming this room.
01:00While it marks a fresh start for Emma and Casper...
01:03I actually don't know how to accept showing my vulnerable side.
01:06The fact you're questioning something and going,
01:08I need to change something about myself, that's sharing vulnerability.
01:10That's just progress.
01:11Could it spell the end for Richelle and Dawson?
01:14Fine for you to say you bore me.
01:17Is it fine for you to lie?
01:19You're a fraud and I've seen through you.
01:21You're a fraud and I've seen through you.
01:23And group gossip about new bride Hannah.
01:26After the commitment ceremony, when Stephen was walking towards her,
01:29she said to Dawson, hold my hand, it's making jealous.
01:31Puts her firmly in the firing line with husband Stephen.
01:35Your behaviour after has been terrible.
01:36So I can't even have banter and try and make friends while I'm here?
01:39I'm out.
01:40I'm getting so sick of people throwing me under the bus.
01:43Get me off this f***ing TV show.
01:52Casper, how does it feel to be home?
01:54It feels brilliant to be back in the countryside.
01:56For the next three nights...
01:58This is it.
01:59I wonder what inside looks like.
02:01Oh, don't, I'm excited.
02:02The couples will all be staying together in a luxury rural retreat.
02:07This is massive, isn't it?
02:08I'm obsessed.
02:10We're claiming this room.
02:11You can't claim it, you've got to win the game of rock, paper, scissors.
02:14One, two, three, rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
02:17Ah!
02:21Love that.
02:22Please be careful.
02:24Look at that.
02:25Please be careful.
02:26Look at the beams.
02:28Oh, my God.
02:31It's like home from home from you.
02:33Well, not quite, eh?
02:39This is nice.
02:41Pink.
02:42Yeah.
02:44I wonder what your one's like, I'm sure it'll be quite similar.
02:49This is honeymoon suite-sized bed, this.
02:53Erm...
02:59Nice in here, isn't it?
03:00I know.
03:01Oh, so good to be here.
03:02We're going to have a good time.
03:03We are.
03:04Do you think there's going to be any dramas while we're here?
03:07There might be with Hannah and Stephen,
03:10if I haven't talked with her.
03:14Want to do the others, Stephen?
03:16Being at the suite is somewhat tense.
03:19I obviously said leave at the commitment ceremony.
03:22Aw!
03:23How nice is this?
03:26Who's the best cook?
03:27Me.
03:28He's always got food on him.
03:30Yeah.
03:31I'm Maltese, wherever I go, there's tapioca with me.
03:33Me and Stephen haven't spoke since the commitment ceremony,
03:36he's having banter with everyone and he literally won't look me in the eye.
03:39It's clearly very frosty between us, but I'm continuing to try.
03:44Shall we check our rooms out?
03:46You're that way, we're this way.
03:48I am a little bit nervous.
03:49To be sharing this cabin with Hannah and Stephen.
03:52But I know there's friction between the two of them, so...
03:55I feel like it's going to be a little bit awkward.
03:58Yeah, you did say it.
03:59But that has nothing to do with me, I tend to avoid drama.
04:02I'm a bit like Switzerland, I'm, like, neutral all the time.
04:09MUSIC PLAYS
04:15Fresh week.
04:17And, you know, for me, it is, it's make or break.
04:22And I wasn't ready to break it.
04:25And I think you write and leave, slapping a face that I needed.
04:31I've got to show you that I can be a great wife.
04:34Coming into the experiment,
04:36Emma was aware of the barriers she was placing on herself.
04:40I'm scared of vulnerability.
04:42I don't let myself open up and I don't want to give someone my heart.
04:46I'm holding myself back from finding love.
04:49I've got to learn and grow, because I think that's what I need.
04:55All the emotions that I felt when I wrote Leave,
04:58and the sort of freedom it gave to my brain,
05:01that is hard to forget.
05:03But my head at the moment is, I want to be positive this week
05:07to see how my week goes.
05:09Casper writing Leave was probably something I needed
05:13to show me that I need to fight, I want to fight for this,
05:16I want to fight for this relationship, I want to fight for this marriage.
05:20It's not going to be easy, but I'm hearing what the experts have said,
05:24I'm taking on their advice to be able to let him see
05:28Emma, who is vulnerable and can be vulnerable,
05:32and emotion, if needs be.
05:35Every emotion that I'm trying to feel,
05:37I'm going to try and stay and pause in that moment, like Paul told me to.
05:41That's right. That's tough, that's a tough year for me, Casper.
05:44You're not used to it. No!
05:46I've got a chance to show what I can do this week.
05:49It's true.
05:51This week is make or break.
05:53If Emma makes some progress in terms of embracing
05:56some of the other emotions apart from positivity,
05:59I think that's a far more attractive version of Emma.
06:02I think if she holds on to those qualities, then it could work,
06:05and that's what I want.
06:07So, let's see.
06:11Do you know what I think is funny, though,
06:13is the fact that it's called The Cow House.
06:15The two biggest cows in The Cow House.
06:19I feel like we've got a good group here, though.
06:22Imagine if you was with Stephen and Hannah.
06:25Like, they're not even talking. That would have been awkward.
06:28I actually gave her a due and thought,
06:30maybe they've come back off the honeymoon, she's having a hard time,
06:33so she's just got to front up.
06:35And then last night after the commitment ceremony,
06:37she's gone up to Shannon and Ryan's room,
06:39and she was rubbing Ryan's feet in front of Shannon,
06:42going, oh, aren't you got nice blue eyes, your feet are so soft.
06:45Ain't it nice and warm in there?
06:47Like, she's been super flirty with you.
06:50Some of the comments have been a bit like...
06:52You wasn't happy about it, was you, Shannon?
06:54No, I wouldn't do that to anybody else's guys.
06:56Do you think you would call off on it?
07:01Tend to it.
07:03We can't just be going around saying that stuff to people's men,
07:06do you know what I mean? It's not how we work around here.
07:09That, to me, is just very strange behaviour.
07:12As soon as she'd seen him, she was like, oh, you look nice,
07:15do you go to the gym?
07:16You ain't got nothing to worry about.
07:18Why have the saving menu when you can have the full meal?
07:20I'm telling you, you haven't got nothing to worry about.
07:23I don't trust Hannah as far as I could throw her, to be honest.
07:26Maybe she's trying to see who the weakest couple are.
07:28See if she can worm her way in.
07:31What's your plan B if it's not working out with your husband?
07:33It's trying to take someone else's.
07:35But people have said that, though, because there has been things
07:38when we've been out.
07:40After the commitment ceremony, when Stephen was walking towards her,
07:43she said to Orson, oh, hold my hand, because he's coming towards us,
07:46let's make him jealous.
07:48Because she knew that Orson's marriage wasn't going great either.
07:51You wouldn't go out of your way to make someone jealous
07:54if you've put stay yesterday and that you want to try and work on it,
07:58when you're doing that.
08:00I can't really keep going on if she's going to keep flirting with people's men.
08:05If that is how she is as a person,
08:07then I don't want any part of it, to be honest.
08:22I think, given the commitment ceremony yesterday,
08:25I'll stay in a different room.
08:27I did say on the sofa that I was going to try my best.
08:30However, waking up this morning, I've learned some more things
08:33that Hannah's said behind my back to other people.
08:35She's trying to help my other blokes,
08:37in an attempt to either get with them or make me jealous.
08:40So I've decided I'll be staying on my own.
08:46OK, so why did you say you'll try?
08:48Your behaviour after has been terrible.
08:50My behaviour after has been terrible?
08:52Yeah. Like what?
08:54Trying to get Orson to hold your hand to try and make me jealous.
08:57We were taking the piss.
08:59It's a shit joke.
09:00After I'd spoke about the honeymoon at the commitment ceremony.
09:05You're making this whole experience so shit, it's not fair.
09:08OK, I've said leave.
09:10Do you honestly feel like you're treating me all right?
09:12Do you think it's kicking off?
09:14Yeah, I don't think it's going to go well.
09:16So I can't even have banter and try and make friends while I'm here?
09:19Yeah, but not about me.
09:20It wasn't about you, it's never been about you.
09:22What, so why don't you hold my hand to make Stephen jealous?
09:25You're taking things so differently, man.
09:27Sweet, I'm out. Told you.
09:37I'm getting so sick of people fucking throwing me under the bus.
09:40Get me off this fucking TV show, for God's sake.
09:46MUSIC INTENSIFIES
10:02Is he fucking serious, Amy?
10:04Oh, OK, what's happened?
10:06Hannah, where is he?
10:07Every single person in this group has just thrown me under the bus.
10:09Hannah, where is he? He's gone.
10:11He's just said to me, you're being disrespectful because you're saying,
10:15oh, you and Orson were taking the piss, like, pretending to hold hands.
10:18Every single person in this group, they've all thrown me under the bus.
10:21No, I feel like, don't just take face value from Stephen.
10:24You need to speak to, like, everybody.
10:26Speak to everybody. Calm down. So who said that to him?
10:28Think about it. We'll go find him and speak to everybody.
10:31Yeah, honestly. Don't, just don't.
10:33Try and stay calm, remember. Calm.
10:38My personality is being bashed and I'm being thrown under the bus
10:41and I'm being blindsided with all these little stupid stories
10:44and there's clearly some shit-stirring going on here
10:46and I want to get to the bottom of it.
10:50I can't do this.
10:54I can't do this anymore.
10:57I mean, if he's giving nothing back to you, then it's difficult to...
11:04Why do I... Why have I got to be the bad person?
11:06You don't. Honestly, you're not being bad.
11:08You're not being a bad person.
11:10Yeah, but why... I know it troubles you.
11:12The only option now is to try and make friends with people
11:14and have some banter and the whole group's just turned against me.
11:16Like, why? No, they haven't.
11:19You're obviously going to think that people are bitching about you,
11:22but it's probably just been said in, like, a jokey way.
11:24Why would you say it at all?
11:26I can't just have banter with people and have a fucking laugh.
11:28Like, why do I have to be Hannes and this, Hannes and that, Hannes and this?
11:31And the fucking drama of this whole thing.
11:33I don't need this shit.
11:35They were probably laughing about it.
11:37Yeah, but under the circumstances of what we're doing
11:40and how me and Stephen are, why would you make more drama?
11:43It doesn't need to be drama.
11:47I'm not being portrayed to look like a liar
11:49and I'm not being portrayed to look like I've been disrespectful
11:52when all I'm trying to do is build some friendships,
11:55have some banter with people. That is my kind of banter.
12:00The whole story's been blown out of proportion.
12:03I'm open to chatting to everyone and figuring it out,
12:05but I don't want people to think that I'm stepping on people's toes,
12:08cos I'm not.
12:16I feel like this is like our second honeymoon now, you know what I mean?
12:19Yeah.
12:20After last night, the commitment ceremony as well went really well.
12:24Definitely in a... Not that we were ever in a bad place,
12:27but we're in a better place. Yeah, the best place we've been in.
12:30Cos it's just a nice little incline of things.
12:32I think it'll be good. I'm excited.
12:34Obviously, last night, we spoke about the fact that I wanted
12:37a little bit more PDA from you,
12:40and obviously I know that you struggle with that.
12:42How do you think you're going to find that
12:44when, obviously, we are with everyone this week?
12:47I will struggle with that.
12:49And I've told you that it's not something that I can just do,
12:52it's something that's going to get built up,
12:54so I just think it's hard for me because I've never been a PDA person,
12:58so in relationships, I've never, like, held hands
13:01I've never been, like, kissing in nightclubs and, like, just anywhere.
13:04Like, I'm not... I don't really like it.
13:07I always like it, like, not behind closed doors,
13:10but discreet, you know what I mean?
13:14I know it's not going to happen overnight,
13:16so that's just something I've got to own. Yeah.
13:19And I suppose, seeing as I can't give you all the PDA,
13:22I might run you the odd bath.
13:24The odd bath? Yeah.
13:26I'd put some rose petals around it if I could find some.
13:29It would be really nice for me
13:31if Adam did give me something this week in front of the group.
13:34I'm not asking for a huge grand gesture,
13:37maybe a little kiss or an arm round the shoulder.
13:40Yeah, just something would just be nice.
13:42It just makes me feel a little bit more secure.
13:55I don't know how to help. I know, but you're trying.
13:58I feel really bad.
14:00You're making me upset.
14:02That's literally all she needs, is you around her.
14:05Would you mind if I give you some space? Yeah.
14:10I just feel really sorry for her.
14:12I'd hate to be in that situation.
14:14Are you OK? Yeah.
14:20It's not nice to see my wife get upset and react like that,
14:23you know, tears coming down.
14:26Let me see if she's all right.
14:29You know, Hannah's just as bright like Amy was.
14:32You know, she's excited about this match
14:34and now it seems to be falling apart so quickly.
14:38The guy that married me was, like, the nicest guy I've ever met.
14:42I genuinely like this boy.
14:44Like, he made me feel so comfortable and so happy.
14:47We had something in us maybe that we could try a bit more
14:50and we could move forward, but now they've all just ruined it.
14:53Everyone's just ruined it.
14:55I'm trying so hard to keep it together, but...
14:57You're doing really well. You're doing really well.
14:59And literally, I can't even explain how proud I am of you.
15:04I left the commitment ceremony very much willing to try with Stephen.
15:09I meant everything I said on that couch.
15:11I cried and I meant it and I said that there were still feelings there.
15:15I meant it.
15:16However, the fact that he won't actually have a conversation with me,
15:20it's going to be harder than I thought.
15:22So the ball's in his court.
15:34I could totally live here.
15:36Now I know.
15:38I'm quite disappointed that my calls all hasn't gone yet, like...
15:41It is what it is. I know, I know what I'm doing.
15:44Even though it is well frustrating. Yeah.
15:46No, it is frustrating. It's definitely frustrating.
15:48Just let's try and keep positive.
15:51Especially for my brain, at least.
15:55It is my time of the month.
15:57But even though I'm not feeling 100% myself,
16:01I'm still going to enjoy the peace, enjoy time with Kieran
16:05and we're just hopefully going to have the best time.
16:09Christina first opened up about suffering with PMDD on the honeymoon.
16:14It's just like PMS, but mine is, like, just heightened.
16:20You know, if times do get hard,
16:22I'll do my absolute best to make sure I'm there for you.
16:25Cos you deserve someone to do that for you.
16:28For him to react how he's reacted,
16:31like, I genuinely could not ask for any more.
16:40I'm very grateful I've got you.
16:43Me too.
16:44And I'll have you as best as I can.
16:46I know, and I do really appreciate it.
16:50I'm just going to go off the back of whatever Christina wants.
16:53Whatever Christina wants, Christina will get.
16:55It's actually quite comfy. Yeah, it is.
16:57Are you telling me now? Yeah.
16:59Just need a little nap. A little nappy nap.
17:01A little nap to recuperate.
17:03Just got to be as supportive as I can
17:05and help Christina as much as I can as a husband.
17:08It's a shame I couldn't bring my piano, but I have brought my uke.
17:11Yeah. So I can still serenade you.
17:13As long as I've got you, I'll be all right.
17:15We'll be fine. Eh? We'll be fine.
17:18We'll be fine.
17:19Very grateful.
17:27I don't see any point in us staying together while on this retreat.
17:34After the commitment ceremony,
17:35it was obvious to me that I've caused you a lot of distress.
17:41There was a comment that you made, Rochelle, last night.
17:44You essentially said he wasn't masculine enough.
17:48For me, masculinity is leadership
17:50and I just don't feel that I'm getting that right now.
17:54She said, like, Austin, you don't really stimulate me mentally.
17:59I took it fucking personal.
18:01I feel something in me that just maybe switched off a little bit.
18:07I didn't know that.
18:08I mean, this is the first I'm hearing
18:10that me saying that made him switch off.
18:13You hadn't brought that up.
18:18I did write stay and I'm quite frustrated with myself
18:22that I didn't do what I wanted to do
18:25because I wanted to leave and he knew that.
18:30I just don't, like, get it sometimes.
18:33I really don't.
18:35It shouldn't be that hard to get. I told you how I felt.
18:38If you told me how you feel, like, and I'm telling you, like,
18:43this is how I feel, I don't understand, like, why you feel...
18:46Did you tell me how you felt before the commitment ceremony?
18:52If you're telling me...
18:53No, can you just answer the question, Austin?
18:55You have a very good way of trying to just, you know,
18:58circumvent answering questions.
19:00Did you tell me anything that you said on the couch?
19:02Yes, you know... That's not true, Austin.
19:04You know how I feel.
19:05No, how would I know? I'm not a mind reader.
19:09You sat on the couch and you said how,
19:11when I said about not being mentally stimulated,
19:13you said that caused you distress.
19:15We had ample opportunities to talk about it in private.
19:18You never mentioned that to me.
19:19Everything I said on the couch, I had already told to you.
19:23You also said you checked out.
19:26Yeah, I checked out.
19:27We had a discussion. I checked out.
19:29When I said I wanted to leave, did you say you wanted to stay?
19:32You said you wanted to leave.
19:34Austin, are you saying that we didn't have a conversation?
19:36Do you not remember the conversation we had when I said to you,
19:39I'm ready to leave. I'm ready to go back to work.
19:41And if I leave now, I can be home in time for my daughter's birthday.
19:44Okay. And then what did we decide?
19:46But what did you say?
19:47I said, let's do one more week.
19:49Okay. I said that.
19:50But then what did we decide?
19:51Well, obviously I said stay because...
19:53I can't tell you what to do.
19:55No, you definitely can't.
19:56Exactly. You're your own woman.
19:58I was trying to be thoughtful because I'd already left once before.
20:03And I thought, let's be in agreement when we leave.
20:07It's fine for you to say you bore me.
20:10It's fine for you to say...
20:11It's true.
20:12But you could have addressed it at the time.
20:13But you could have addressed it at the time.
20:15It's fine for you to have arguments and then just walk out.
20:18It's fine for you to say, oh, I'm not sure if I like, if I knew.
20:23Like, I could say more things that you said to me.
20:25Austin.
20:26Look, can I just say something?
20:28Is it fine for you to lie?
20:30Let me just say this.
20:31As much as you have.
20:32Let me just say this.
20:33What about your lies?
20:34I'm not going to actually sit here and talk to you.
20:36Let's talk about your lies, Austin.
20:37I don't want to be in the same space as you.
20:39Didn't I ask you a certain question?
20:40You just...
20:41You're a little liar.
20:42You just...
20:43You're a fraud.
20:44Once you come after my integrity, once you come after my livelihood...
20:47You haven't got no livelihood.
20:48Once you come after...
20:49Did I ask you if your business was registered on Companies House?
20:52I ain't got time for you.
20:53You're not even registered on Companies House.
20:54I ain't got time for you.
20:55But you said you are.
20:56You're a fraud and I've seen through you.
20:57It's fine.
20:59I ain't got time for you.
21:00You're a fraud.
21:01You're a fraud.
21:02Just stay in your space.
21:03I'll stay in mine.
21:04That's exactly what I'm going to do.
21:05That's exactly what I'm doing.
21:06I've lost all respect for you.
21:07And once I lose that...
21:08I lost respect for you.
21:09I lost respect for you on the honeymoon.
21:14Pretty certain, you know, he probably hopes he did write leave now.
21:17But he wanted to drag this out another week
21:20and we're dragging it out another week.
21:29All I've gotten from Rochelle is criticism.
21:35Some of those things I just can't see past.
21:40It's gone as far as...
21:43Oh, you're a fraud.
21:45You're a liar.
21:46You've got no company.
21:49I've made sure that Rochelle is looked after.
21:52I've made sure that she's got a job.
21:54I've made sure that Rochelle is looked after.
21:57I've made sure that I'm a man to Rochelle.
22:00Well, apparently I'm not man enough.
22:03I've checked out.
22:05Like, I am done.
22:24But I got smarter.
22:26I got harder in the nick of time.
22:29Honey, I rose up from the dead.
22:31I do it all the time.
22:33I got a list of names and yours isn't let underlined.
22:38I check it once.
22:39Then I check it twice.
22:40Oh.
22:43Look what you made me do.
22:45Look what you made me do.
22:47Look what you just made me do.
22:49Look what you just made me.
22:52Oh.
22:53Look what you made me do.
22:54Look what you made me do.
22:56Look what you just made me do.
22:58Look what you just made me do.
23:01I don't like your kingdom keys.
23:04They once belonged to me.
23:06You asked me for a place to sleep.
23:08Lock me out and do a feast.
23:10The world moves on.
23:12Another day, another drama, drama.
23:18How many times do you think you've got on a bike?
23:20In the last decade?
23:21Yeah.
23:22Three times.
23:23Oh, he hasn't fallen off yet.
23:24We're there.
23:25Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
23:26There is always time.
23:27Oh, a little bit of a bump.
23:29Stop it.
23:30The suspension's good on them.
23:32Can you do a little wheelie?
23:34No.
23:36Stop showing off.
23:40It's actually so nice to just get the wind in your hair.
23:43Oh, it's so nice.
23:46A nice little date day.
23:48Exactly.
23:51That was lovely, actually.
23:54Casper, look what I've prepared.
23:57Oh, this looks banging.
23:59Look at that.
24:00Proper cheese board.
24:02Some macaroons, some fruits.
24:05Oh, there we are.
24:09So it's been a nice day?
24:11Yeah.
24:13Are you proud of me for what I've done so far?
24:15Honestly, you've been brilliant.
24:18See it, believe it, was my thinking on the sofa with the experts.
24:23In order to grow, you've got to get outside your comfort zone.
24:26You do.
24:27And that's my job this week.
24:28Vulnerability is definitely something that I struggle with.
24:31And I actually don't know how to, except for showing my vulnerable side,
24:35I actually don't know too much on how to break the mentality
24:40that I've worked on for 10 years in my work.
24:43In sales, it's quite hard to be super, super resilient
24:47and vulnerable at the same time.
24:49The fact you're questioning something and going,
24:51I need to change something about myself, I don't know how to do it, but I want to.
24:54Yeah, that's showing vulnerability.
24:56And that's a step in the right direction.
24:58Honestly, that question in itself is progress.
25:01Thank you, Casper.
25:02I'm feeling...
25:05I'm feeling thankful for saying that.
25:09I've come into this new week with a fresh mind.
25:11And that's what I'm trying to be.
25:13Trying to be more open, trying to be more vulnerable.
25:15And then, do you think there's hope to carry on this trajectory?
25:21Honestly?
25:22Yeah.
25:23I'm staying, and I'm going to be as positive and upbeat as I can
25:27through the next week and see where we end up.
25:29But just have as much fun as possible.
25:31That means there's a little bit of hope, a little bit of hope,
25:33a little bit of PMA.
25:35We'll see. It's going well so far.
25:38Woo-woo!
25:41I definitely feel like we're making progress.
25:43Is that my toxic positivity?
25:47You know, we might even get a snog this week.
25:54Slowly but surely, I think I am seeing different sides of Emma.
25:57To a positive week, then.
26:00We've been really struggling and walking on eggshells,
26:03and now we're not.
26:07Slips down the gullet, doesn't it? Oh, yeah.
26:09I'm intrigued, because it's a far more lovable person.
26:13Long may it continue.
26:26Oh, how nice.
26:28Who's popping it?
26:30I'll do the honours.
26:35I need anything, I think.
26:39My two favourite girls.
26:41Hello. Hello.
26:43Hello, my honeys.
26:49Can I get in now?
26:51May I?
26:54I'm trying to be as supportive as I can for Christina.
26:57Is that warm? It's lush.
27:00Oh, my God.
27:02I know how hard this is when she's suffering from her PMDD symptoms.
27:06She just needs someone to really be there for her.
27:09Right, can you get the shampoos in? Aye.
27:12The setting is so beautiful.
27:14Got bubbly on the side.
27:18Got the candles everywhere, the lights.
27:21It is the perfect, perfect romantic scene.
27:25Cheers to our first bath together.
27:29Cheers to that. Yes.
27:31He's the best.
27:33Romantic, innit?
27:35That wasn't romantic.
27:40I smell my roses.
27:42How are you feeling about the retreat?
27:44Yeah, I was obviously super, super nervous
27:47because I didn't think I'd be...
27:49I was worried I was obviously going to be fed up, which I did.
27:52I obviously did this morning.
27:54But now being, like, in here with you, I feel really...
27:57I feel so much better.
27:59You know, you've managed to, like, bring me out of a hard...
28:03..a hard place. I didn't do that. You've done that.
28:06No, but you've helped.
28:08It's the little things that, like, mean the absolute world to me,
28:11like, maybe without even realising, you know,
28:14just, like, a sensitive touch or, like...
28:17Like, I know when you mean it.
28:20It's so brand-new, Kieran,
28:22and, like, I think you're just handling it like an absolute champ.
28:26You know, I appreciate you, you know,
28:29struggling through it with me.
28:33A problem shared is a problem solved.
28:35Yeah, that's really nice.
28:36Because we're back and half it for you,
28:38and that makes your life easier, I love.
28:41I'm so grateful to just have somebody, you know,
28:44just understand how and why I'm sort of feeling.
28:47It made me feel 100 times better.
28:50Yeah, really grateful.
28:52So, are you going to play us a tune then, or what?
28:58Go on.
29:00Kieran and Christina sitting in the bath
29:03Nobody knows I've got me big toe up your arse
29:10Right, how have I married you?
29:13You do this one then.
29:16Kasper and Em, they've had a right old giggle
29:19They've got their helmets on
29:21And they're taking a piddle on their bikes
29:26A piddle!
29:27That's really good.
29:29Orson and Rochelle are not getting on
29:32And that is why I've made them this song
29:36They just need to put the past behind closed doors
29:43And Orson should get on all fours
29:47That could be number one.
29:49Away, man.
29:56Talk to me then, bro. What's going on?
29:59Rochelle and that?
30:01It's just gone to the point where, like,
30:04I'm like, I don't even really want to be around you.
30:08You two are good people, though, man.
30:10Rochelle is my sister, you're my brother.
30:12Like, we're not even living together.
30:17It's...
30:18Is there not a friendship, Sal, with your mum?
30:21No.
30:22No way?
30:23No.
30:24In a million years?
30:25In two million years.
30:28Yesterday, you both put stay.
30:30Yeah.
30:32What's changed since then?
30:34Everything.
30:35I'm fucking disrespectful, bro.
30:37And why should I keep trying?
30:39I don't argue with my two-and-a-half-year-old.
30:41I'm not coming here to argue with a 48-year-old.
30:43I'm managing moods.
30:45But I'm not here to manage no 48-year-old moods.
30:47I ain't doing it. I've done enough of that.
30:49I've compromised enough.
30:50Yeah, yeah. It's time to think about Orson.
30:52It's time to think about me, bro.
30:53Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's time to think about Orson now,
30:55and you're out here trying to make her happy.
30:58Yeah, and forgetting about my happiness.
31:02Holly did tell me something earlier.
31:04OK.
31:05Yesterday, you was with Hannah,
31:08and Hannah said,
31:09''Oh, let me hold your hand so I can make Stephen jealous.''
31:12Fuck!
31:13What's going on there, bro? I need to know.
31:17Come on, bro.
31:18Oh!
31:20God!
31:24OK, so, like...
31:27She was flirting a little bit.
31:30I'm not going to lie.
31:31She was flirting a little bit.
31:33That's a mad thing.
31:34Yeah, she...
31:35But I don't think it was that deep.
31:37If I sit here and say, like, it was deep,
31:40I'm going to stop you there real quick, though, bro.
31:42OK.
31:43If you're not on good terms with your husband,
31:45you should not be flirting with other men,
31:47serious or unserious.
31:49That's crazy, and it's muggy on Stephen,
31:51cos he doesn't deserve it, man.
31:54She shouldn't be doing that.
31:55You're never going to do anything.
31:58The boys ain't like that.
32:10Babe, I've got some wine!
32:12Yay!
32:13I feel like I've actually got a husband now.
32:15I'll step in.
32:17Thanks, honey.
32:18Ooh, posh!
32:19Sasha's on her way round.
32:21Amazing.
32:22I feel like Hannah needs to open up to another girl other than me.
32:26Cheers, gorgeous. Eye contact.
32:28We entered the experiment at the same time,
32:31but she feels like everybody's against her.
32:34How are you feeling?
32:35I'm exhausted, but I'm glad that Sasha's coming.
32:38It'll be nice to just kind of, like,
32:40maybe try and help me, like, integrate into the group a little bit.
32:43Yeah, you need to open up to someone else.
32:45Hello!
32:46Hi!
32:47Well, your ear's burning!
32:49Hello, honey.
32:50Hey, babe!
32:51Throw your coat on there if you want to.
32:53Hannah and Stephen are not in a good place.
32:55They're not sharing a cottage together,
32:57and I've just come in to say, well, make sure you feel welcome.
33:00We just want you to enjoy the retreat.
33:02What was you saying about me?
33:04You said my ears was burning.
33:06We were just talking about, like,
33:08there's all these bloody rumours about me and Orson,
33:10like, flirting with each other.
33:12Have you heard this?
33:13Erm...
33:14Tell the truth.
33:15I may have heard very recently
33:17that you put your hand in his ork, Orson.
33:19Was that Orson?
33:21LAUGHTER
33:24Sorry.
33:25Oh, my God, this is getting so playground.
33:27That was Ryan.
33:28I touched his shoe and said, your shoes are nice.
33:30Wrong vlog!
33:31What the fuck?
33:32I thought that was Orson!
33:33Right, so, hang on.
33:34There's an issue now that I told someone I like their shoe
33:36and I wanted to see if it was glossy.
33:38I don't know if there's an issue, but...
33:41Oh!
33:42I've landed myself in it and now Anna's upset.
33:45It's all gone tits up.
33:47I think it was just...
33:49There was maybe saying he was just, like, flirting or...
33:52By asking someone if their shoe was fluffy?
33:54And saying that they've got... Is this a joke?
33:56..really big eyes and nice eyelashes or something.
34:03I don't want to be the bearer of bad news and stuff, but...
34:05Oh, God.
34:07She's grabbed Ryan's foot.
34:09And she's given him a foot massage.
34:11And she looked at him and said,
34:12oh, my God, your eyes are so beautiful.
34:16And the other day she went and knocked on my door
34:19and asked for my hair straighteners.
34:21Were you there? No.
34:22OK.
34:23Alex was like, well, Holly's not here.
34:25Alex has gone to shut the door and she's gone, Alex!
34:27And he's leant round and she's gone,
34:30just to let you know you're my favourite boy.
34:33Oh, man.
34:35Hearing these new things that Holly told me tonight
34:38I'm genuinely...
34:39Cos I have separated from my children to come into this process.
34:42I've come here to give my everything.
34:44I don't really know how we've got here, but we're here.
34:48So, my go-to thing is to be really nice to people. Yeah.
34:51And the fact that that's been twisted into being flirting
34:53is just so frustrating.
34:54It just feels so, like, mountain out of a molehill.
34:57She thought that the gossip about her and Olsen, like, flirting
35:03came from somebody in the group
35:06and they were, like, stirring shit.
35:09I'm usually pretty good at merging into a group,
35:12so there's something going wrong here and I don't really know why.
35:16No-one's actually just took the time to hear my side of the story.
35:20It just feels like it's all gone to shit, cos we started off so well.
35:24Like, our wedding was amazing, our honeymoon was amazing.
35:27If I'm honest, I've not told anyone this...
35:32..but, like, we slept together on the honeymoon.
35:37I don't sleep with people just easily. Yeah.
35:39And that's why it's harder for me to, like, just let it go.
35:42Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sex for women is more emotional.
35:45Don't really sleep with someone. No.
35:47Well, it's rare that women sleep with someone... I don't.
35:50..that you don't feel anything for at all. Yeah.
35:53I think that's why I feel more hurt about the whole thing. Yeah.
35:56Coming in late is hard enough.
35:58Coming in late with no support system has been really, really tough.
36:01Like, really tough.
36:02That's shit. I don't want anyone to feel like that.
36:05I can definitely talk to the girls. I appreciate that.
36:12She's come into this the complete wrong way
36:16and it has not sat well with anybody.
36:19I said, leave. I don't want this. Yeah.
36:23But you're the one that said you wanted to work and work on it,
36:26but you're off working on other guys. Exactly.
36:28She's... She has put her foot in it. Big time.
36:32You can't sit on the sofa and say,
36:34I really want to work at this marriage and that's why I'm going to stay,
36:37I'm going to make it right and all this,
36:39but then working on everyone else's man other than yourself.
36:42I'm sorry, but she's a beg.
36:46She's hungry.
36:48This is not a carvery, babe.
36:50You can't go along picking bits of what you want.
36:52You've got someone here,
36:54and if you don't appreciate a good guy, someone's fucking gonna.
37:03I don't know whether she's seen Orton and Rochelle aren't great,
37:07so she wants an opportunity to try diving somewhere else.
37:12It's awful hearing all this stuff.
37:14I've been married before, I've got four children,
37:17and it's my last-ditch effort to actually find my person
37:20because I had my heart broken last time
37:22and I'm just refusing to go through it again.
37:24And it's just fucking sad that you can't do that.
37:27You can't do that.
37:29Refusing to go through it again.
37:31And it's just fucking sad that you put all that effort and time
37:34into somebody and then this just happens.
37:36But I feel like you cannot say that this is your last chance
37:39when you've been lumped with Hannah.
37:41You are not the problem. No, no. Everyone can see through it.
37:44Everyone. It's not boding well with anybody.
37:48Just know that we've got your back.
38:00Come up. It's open.
38:03Hello. What's happening?
38:05I'm definitely not ready to give up, Stephen.
38:08So I do feel like I want to have a chat with Orton
38:11and just get to the bottom of it.
38:13So there's rumours about me and you, so...
38:15Oh, God.
38:18It just feels like it's all been blown massively out of proportion.
38:22So after the commitment ceremony,
38:24I feel like you were going out of your way to kind of make me laugh
38:28and we were having a bit of banter and we were like,
38:30shall we pretend to hold hands and, like, lol?
38:32Now that everybody's turned against me.
38:35You can't say everybody because I haven't.
38:41There was no malicious intent.
38:43Yeah, but it's fine for you to say, but that's how it's been made to look.
38:46From the others. From everybody else in this group.
38:49Everybody's coming out and saying, you've done this, you've done that.
38:52I've now been told that it was inappropriate
38:54because I told someone they had really nice eyes.
38:56I can't win.
38:58Question. Have you realised what's happening here?
39:01I'm the villain. No, no, no.
39:03Just a lot of shit-stuff.
39:05Rumours. I get that and I understand that.
39:08However, can you see how I now feel like I can't trust anybody in this group
39:11because everybody's throwing me under the bus,
39:13left, right and centre, and it's not fair.
39:15I feel like I'm being made to look like a shitty human
39:17and I'm not a shitty human.
39:22I don't think you're a shitty human.
39:24I understand fully exactly where you're coming from.
39:27100%.
39:32What can I do to just eradicate a lot of this?
39:37To fucking have my back, man.
39:39I've had your back in every conversation I've had.
39:42You could go and speak to anyone in this group.
39:45Anyone in this group.
39:49Appreciate that.
39:52I got you.
39:54Dawson's a good guy. I think he's a good guy.
39:56I think the fact that he's a little bit older,
39:58I think he's not playing a game here
40:00and I think Stephen maybe has took the stories differently,
40:03twisted it a little bit.
40:05He's obviously stewed on it for the night and then thrown it at me.
40:08I think you're overthinking things, yeah?
40:11I love that you're in a dressing gown right now.
40:13Yeah, it's fine. Take me seriously.
40:15It's like you're in a fucking Hugh Hefner role.
40:17Yeah, take me seriously, yeah?
40:19Do you know how amazing you are?
40:21All the newbies walked in
40:23and the first thing I said to Adam
40:25after I've kind of done my people watching,
40:27I go, I like her.
40:31Because she's fiery, she's feisty
40:34and she looks like she don't give a shit.
40:37And that's what gravitates me to you.
40:44It's nice to hear someone, especially a man,
40:47actually big me up a little bit.
40:52So I've obviously got to walk into the dinner party on my own.
40:55No, you've got me. We can walk hand in hand.
40:57No, we can't. That's what started this.
40:59I don't give a shit. Like, let them talk.
41:02We're in this fucking mess in the first bit.
41:04I just wanted to feel someone's hand in mine.
41:06It's been a while.
41:11Thank you, man.
41:13I appreciate you. I do appreciate you.
41:15Got you, man.
41:19I mean, I'm not in a great place, you know, with Richelle.
41:22Steve is not in a great place with Hannah.
41:25Right, put the kettle on. OK.
41:27You guys could get out now.
41:31I'm not 100% sure if Hannah fancies me or not.
41:34If she does, like...
41:39Great.
41:41Mm, squeaky bum time.
41:46Next time...
41:48Here's to lads day! No wives!
41:50..as the group split...
41:52I am walking into a lion's den.
41:54..for the girls' animosity bruise...
41:56This is your chance to explain yourself.
41:58Well, it's not, cos you've all made your minds up.
42:00The last thing you want to do is get brave.
42:02Speaking to me like shit. She's going about things like a dickhead.
42:05..for the boys...
42:06She's done certain things, I think, to get you jealous.
42:08..an admission...
42:09I've had a conversation with Hannah last night.
42:11..inflames tension...
42:13She's trying it on with all the other guys.
42:15I think that's a bit unfair. It is fucking done.
42:18..but it's revealing questions...
42:20Stick with your current partner.
42:22A twist... Spicy!
42:24..twist that deals a devastating blow.
42:27The fact that you've gone, I'll switch to Steven...
42:29His muggy is full!
42:31I'm getting better every week and you're still not fucking happy!
42:36It's just... It's just shit.
42:38I don't want to lose him.
