00:00You better do this on Amy!
00:02Previously...
00:03Amy is stiff as a scaffold board.
00:05..Partner Swap Week revealed shocking secrets...
00:08I felt envious my girl wouldn't dance with me like that.
00:12It was a bit of a dick towards Amy.
00:14..and gave some a taste of how the other half lives.
00:18Pulling out all stops for me.
00:19Adam is giving me pure princess treatment.
00:22..while Adam's planned to bring fun into the bedroom...
00:25Candy bar and knickers.
00:26Little nibble.
00:27That's quite good, actually.
00:28..massively backfired.
00:30What do you think?
00:31You're buying lingerie with Amy.
00:33It does feel like we've gone from 0 to 100.
00:35It's so confusing, like, my head is...
00:38I've come out of my comfort zone.
00:40It's just not enough for her.
00:41Sorry.
00:44I don't know what he wants.
00:45..but it was Kieran's candid confession...
00:48You and me ex-partner, it's actually scary how similar yous are.
00:51..that drove Christina to despair.
00:53I am fuming.
00:57I'm not his ex.
01:03..tonight...
01:04Here's the man treating my wife like a princess.
01:07..revelations from partner swap week...
01:09You know that picture?
01:10He said that he was actually a little bit envious.
01:13Him saying he wants me to be like you is...
01:17..bullshit.
01:18..send Amy and Luke into a downward spiral...
01:21I just feel like a... idiot.
01:23..that only intensifies...
01:26You care more about other people's business than your own marriage.
01:29Wait.
01:30..when a not-so-anonymous letter brings fresh accusations...
01:34I feel like I'm a different person with different people.
01:36What you on about?
01:37Do you kiss whoever's arse?
01:38It's convenient at the time.
01:40This is a personal attack.
01:42..but it's Christina and Kieran's marriage...
01:44I'm risking losing one of the best women that I could ever wish for,
01:47and that's one of the hardest things to admit to myself.
01:50..that deals the biggest blow of the evening...
01:52Is this a friendship?
01:54Or is this more?
01:58HE CHUCKLES
02:06HE GASPS
02:07Oh!
02:08There's bloody butter coffee on the back!
02:10Why have I always got to do it?
02:12..after spending partner swap week apart...
02:15There's your tea, babe.
02:17See you when it's coming up.
02:19..the couples have woken up back in their own apartments.
02:22I'm really bad at living with people, usually,
02:25but for some reason, I'm all right with you.
02:27Oh. Yeah, it's weird.
02:30HE LAUGHS
02:36Waking up with Luke after partner swap week with Adam,
02:39Adam literally trekked me like an absolute queen.
02:42So it's definitely made me realise
02:45that Luke does need to pull his finger out a little bit more.
02:49Adam shows affirmations with his actions.
02:51OK.
02:52He made me my favourite breakfast.
02:54Oh, nice.
02:55He trekked me like a little princess.
02:57HE LAUGHS
02:58It's a bit, kind of, rub it in your face a little bit.
03:00All the stuff that you don't get with me, you're getting with Adam.
03:03It hurts, not going to lie.
03:07Following partner swap this morning,
03:09I'm going to just keep it, you know, nice and fun, light-hearted,
03:13put a pinny on, make her a coffee,
03:15and hopefully that will, kind of, you know, break the ice a bit more.
03:22A bit more of it.
03:23Oh, my God, what the hell is going on?
03:25Why is he bollocked naked?
03:27I don't know.
03:28Oh, you even made me a coffee. Yeah.
03:30This is new. I missed you, baby.
03:33Sorry.
03:35Are you stacking up your game? Yeah, I have to.
03:41Luke's trying to do something really cheeky
03:43and fun, but this definitely isn't my idea of princess treatment.
03:48Put your pants back on.
03:50You know, I was a bit butthurt when you said about, you know,
03:53Adam treating you like a princess, so I thought,
03:55I need to step up sometimes.
03:57You definitely do. Yeah.
03:59I don't want you to just change because you feel like...
04:02I know. ..Adam's competition.
04:04I want you to make me coffees because...
04:06Because I want to.
04:09So, did you go shopping with Lacey for the apron? No.
04:12Or did you bring it from home? I brought it from home.
04:15Oh. I've done this sort of stuff before, yeah, a couple of times.
04:19I thought you told me you'd only ever wore pants and shirtless.
04:23Mostly, yeah. I've done a couple, I think.
04:25I did a couple of hem parties.
04:27You told me you wear jeans and you've never had your bum out or anything,
04:30so I'm just... I can't stop thinking about that now.
04:33Oh, God.
04:36Luke told me he's never done topless weight-wearing
04:38with his bum cheeks out.
04:39I've always asked him, like, do you not have to be naked?
04:42He's always 100% told me no.
04:44I'm just a little bit confused, if I'm honest.
04:47I don't remember lying about not doing it before.
04:50He 100% did.
04:52Multiple times told me you've never had your cheeks out.
04:55He was like, I work in nightclubs.
04:57And that's true. I'm always topless with jeans.
05:00Lies to me are just an absolute no-go.
05:04White lies, big lies.
05:06If you can lie about something so small, then you can lie about anything.
05:11Hopefully nothing else comes back to bite you on the arse.
05:15Talking of the arse, it's a bit cold here.
05:17It's a bit nippy down here.
05:24Hello. Hello.
05:26You all right?
05:29I left things on a bad note yesterday,
05:31so I thought I'd better come over and make peace.
05:34Me and Christina slept separately last night,
05:37so we both woke up on my own.
05:40How are you? I'm all right.
05:42You OK? Like, it was shit yesterday.
05:46It wasn't how I wanted it to go.
05:49My patience is literally there.
05:53Same for me, though. I'm just as frustrated as you.
05:57And it's crap.
05:59I've done everything that you have asked from me.
06:03I'm not a puppet.
06:05Me and Kieran, we care about each other.
06:07I'm going to cry.
06:12We love each other as people,
06:14but the dots just aren't connecting at the moment.
06:24I don't like falling out with you,
06:26and I know you don't like falling out with me.
06:28And I think we just need to draw a line under what happened yesterday
06:31and just keep that moving forward.
06:34I'm feeling guilty because it's hard
06:36when someone's very clear how they feel about you
06:39and you're turning around and being like,
06:41well, I honestly don't know if this is more of a friendship
06:44than it is a marriage.
06:46It's a really awful position to put Christina in.
06:57Waking up this morning, me and Polly aren't in the best place.
07:01We had an argument last night about the gifts that I bought her
07:04and she didn't take it very well.
07:08Shall we have a chat about it last night? Yeah.
07:11So, obviously, with the whole lingerie stuff and that,
07:14for me, it was a bit of a kick in the teeth.
07:17The plan was just to kind of, like, make it more fun
07:20and just be funny about it, you know what I mean,
07:22and take the pressure off it,
07:24and it did the complete opposite.
07:27You've always said to me that I care about your feelings,
07:29I don't want to do anything to make you unsure
07:31about how I feel about you,
07:33when you are fucking with my head massively.
07:36Because you're not doing anything to show that you feel that way about me.
07:39So that's so confusing.
07:41Because I'm literally treating you perfectly.
07:43I'll always make you a tea in the morning,
07:45I'll make you breakfast, I'll run you a bath.
07:47Like, I've literally treated you like a princess.
07:50It's just physical, do you know what I mean?
07:52Like, you never come over and kiss me on the cheek,
07:54and you never come over and give me a cuddle, like...
07:56I've been 100% honest from the start.
07:58The attraction's not there, I'm trying to build the attraction,
08:00and you're sitting there and going,
08:01well, your actions don't match up.
08:03I'm just not kissing you more and having sex.
08:06But it's not... That's the only thing you're missing.
08:08I don't feel like you want me in any way,
08:11because you don't show me anything.
08:13You don't get it, you don't get it. It's all about you.
08:16I feel like Adam's saying that he feels pressured,
08:19and he feels like he's got to do all the work.
08:21It's new.
08:22I didn't think it was such a problem in our relationship,
08:25but nothing's going to change if it's not voiced.
08:28Our whole journey has been about Adam needs to change,
08:31Adam needs to be romantic.
08:33It hasn't been, oh, let's leave Adam to try and build an attraction
08:37so he can build on it with the foundations we've got.
08:39It's just always been about you.
08:41I know you care about me and you like me,
08:43but your feelings over everyone's.
08:45You would fuck the whole world over if it saved you.
08:47What about what I want and what I need?
08:49I wanted no pressure.
08:51Who the hell puts pressure in a relationship?
08:53That's bollocks. I don't ever make you feel like that.
08:56I don't speak to you about it enough for you to say to me
08:59that there's pressure from me, because there's not.
09:01And I've put you first through this whole time.
09:04You've put yourself first.
09:06Never once has it been about me.
09:09I am really surprised that he said that I don't ask him how he feels,
09:13and it makes me feel quite shit knowing that.
09:15He feels I haven't been thinking of him as much as I should have been.
09:18It has definitely shocked me a little bit.
09:22Is that the door?
09:25Oh, for God's sake.
09:26Oh, fuck off.
09:27Is it an envelope? Yeah.
09:32Maybe he likes you.
09:33This week we are setting you a task
09:35that will help you to evaluate your own relationship
09:37and help the other couples in the group.
09:39We'd like you to write a letter to one of the other couples
09:41expressing your views on the relationship
09:43and how you think it could improve.
09:45The couple you will be writing to are Amy...
09:48Hello! Yeah!
09:50..Polly and Adam...
09:51..Kieran and Christina...
09:52..Ross and Sasha.
09:55To allow you to speak freely, the letter will be an ominous.
10:03Sometimes Polly needs to just stop
10:06and, like, listen to Adam a little bit more,
10:08cos they always think they're both right and they're clashing.
10:11That is so general, like, that could be about anybody.
10:14That's not specific to them.
10:16I think Luke doesn't focus on his relationship enough.
10:19He focuses on the attention he can get
10:22by getting involved in drama.
10:24This is really, really hard.
10:25It's harder than I thought it was going to be.
10:27Yeah, this is difficult.
10:28It's a very honest letter, isn't it?
10:30Yeah, there are no lies here.
10:32Fake. Not genuine.
10:34Attention seeker.
10:35Too sexual.
10:37I feel like there's going to be a bit of drama tonight,
10:39not going to lie. Mm-hm.
10:45MUSIC CONTINUES
10:52How do you think Luke will react to the letter?
10:55I don't think he's going to like being called fake.
10:58So how do you feel walking in together as a united front?
11:02I just think every time we have a massive argument,
11:04then we walk in and pretend everything's perfect when...
11:06We're not pretending that everything's fine.
11:08We get out of the retreat and it looks really bad.
11:11It's just going to look weird if you don't.
11:14MUSIC CONTINUES
11:21Well, here we are.
11:22It's the penultimate dinner party
11:24and, of course, we only have five couples left,
11:26so it's going to be quite an intimate affair tonight, I think.
11:29Of course, this is on the back of Partner Spot Week,
11:31so it'll be interesting to see what they've learned
11:33about their own relationships
11:35after spending time with another partner.
11:37And, of course, we've given them the very special task
11:39of writing anonymous letters
11:41so that each couple will get an outside perspective
11:44on their marriage.
11:45This should be fascinating to watch.
11:47Yes.
11:49Ooh, first in.
11:51First in, second time first in.
11:53This is actually the first time
11:55that we've seen Adam and Polly enter the room not touching.
11:59And that's wild to see, because the last time we saw them,
12:02they were in a great place.
12:04I'll be interested to see how Amy went back to Luke
12:07and how Luke was.
12:09Yeah, definitely.
12:10I think after the way I was treating her
12:12with all the tea in the morning and the breakfast,
12:14I think if Luke hadn't stepped it up,
12:16I don't think she'll be happy.
12:21Hello!
12:23Matchy-matchy.
12:24How are you? You look stunning.
12:26And these two look good together.
12:28Oh, they do?
12:29I can say they genuinely look good together.
12:31Yeah.
12:32Here's the man treating my wife like a princess.
12:34I've got a lot to learn from you, mate.
12:36I can teach her, I can teach her.
12:38You chill out.
12:40Thank you, darling.
12:42How have you two been since coming back together again?
12:46Not great. OK.
12:48We've not had the best couple of days.
12:50Yeah.
12:51Had a couple of arguments.
12:53I just felt like I had weeks and weeks of emotions and feelings
12:57that I was putting to the side just to make sure Polly's OK,
13:00and it just got too much,
13:01and I just said everything that I'd been feeling.
13:03Honesty is the best policy, my darlings.
13:05I know.
13:06We've learnt that this morning, haven't we?
13:08What happened this morning?
13:10Luke was in the kitchen making me a coffee.
13:13Was he? Well done, Luke.
13:14Living up to you.
13:16And he had no clothes on.
13:18She said she likes me naked.
13:20He had a little apron on.
13:21It's like being cute, but me and Luke have discussed previously
13:25that in his other job, which he called his nightclub job,
13:28he's always done it in pants.
13:30Right, so if you've not done it before, where's it come from, my love?
13:33He admitted that he has. Right.
13:35It was meant to be, like, a nice, thoughtful thing,
13:38but I just couldn't see through.
13:40Yeah, of course.
13:42One of Amy's values is honesty in a relationship,
13:46so although Luke doesn't think that it's a big deal,
13:48it kind of seems like, actually, this is really annoying for Amy.
13:55Hello. Hello.
13:56Oh, well, that's the coldest welcome I've ever had.
13:59Woo-hoo! Woo!
14:01So, clearly, Ross and Sasha have made up.
14:04We know that they weren't in the best place
14:06at the last commitment ceremony,
14:08but it's really good to see that they've come in high energy
14:11and hopefully in a good place.
14:13How have you been, boy? I'm good.
14:15How was your week? Very nice.
14:17The swap was very nice. Oh, a swap? Yeah.
14:19Who did you guys swap with?
14:21Kieran and Christina? Yeah.
14:23But me and Sasha are still up for a double date
14:26for Kieran and Christina.
14:28How did it go?
14:30Did it go well?
14:32No, it went down like a lead balloon.
14:34Oh. Yeah, so we just thought,
14:36if we can get them, like, to be friends again,
14:38and remember, like, at the start, where it was all very light-hearted
14:41and they just enjoyed each other's company,
14:43but it just went to shit.
14:45The whole rest of the day was just awful.
14:48Oh, shit.
14:50Sounds like Kieran and Christina are not going well
14:53and have maybe not started to repair things at all.
14:56Hello! Hello!
14:58Breaking the devil! They're holding hands.
15:00Well, it's such a relief to see Christina and Kieran
15:02coming in with so much energy.
15:04How are we? Hello!
15:07But the sad thing is that we know that they're not in a good place,
15:10according to what Sasha has said.
15:12I wasn't expecting them to walk in holding hands.
15:15My Macquarie's of golf worked out after all. Yeah.
15:18Where's everybody sat?
15:20What's the crack? What's going on?
15:22We'd literally just heard about mini golf.
15:25Oh, yeah, let's not.
15:28For me, my frustration was just too high with that boy.
15:32After that, we sat down and we had another one of our chats.
15:37I can really see the potential with him,
15:40so I feel like I'm in a bit of a difficult position.
15:43It's like you're waiting for the penny to drop, for him to be like...
15:46Yeah. Oh, my God, Steena, I love you! Yeah.
15:49I said to him, like, am I worthy of you?
15:53And Kieran was like, you're more than enough for me.
15:59You can see how much you both love each other. Yeah, we do.
16:02The amount of respect and care that you've had for each other
16:05coming through this as well. I know.
16:07You have to be strong enough to know the difference,
16:09to say, is this worth fighting for,
16:11or do I just love you as much as I love my best friend at home?
16:14Yeah, quite literally.
16:15And that's the decision that you've got to make.
16:18It is sad to hear that Christina is doubting herself,
16:21but good on Kieran for stepping up
16:23and reassuring her that she is good enough.
16:25You can see, though, why Christina is confused.
16:28There was a point where Kieran was really interested in her
16:31and was really attracted to her physically,
16:33so the question is, well, what's gone wrong?
16:37How are you and Christina now?
16:39My head is all over the place at the moment. Yeah.
16:43But I care about that girl more than she realises, I think.
16:46I've never met a girl like her in my life.
16:49I wish I'd partnered with you, mate!
16:53It is very natural at this stage of the experiment
16:56for couples to start thinking about what's next,
16:59and I think Kieran's starting to do that.
17:01He's starting to look at Christina and ask himself the question,
17:04will she fit into my world?
17:06And I think that's causing further confusion for him too.
17:13Yay!
17:15Lacey!
17:17Oh, Lacey and Nathan, very much the couple dressing tonight.
17:20Yes.
17:21So, I'm desperate to hear about your partner swap.
17:24So, obviously, I have the lovely Luke.
17:27I did want him at first, and he knows that,
17:30but I told him what's what as soon as I saw him
17:33and even done me a cake saying I'm sorry.
17:35Good.
17:36Me and Luke went dancing and he wore heels
17:38and he was fucking loving it.
17:40He was a bit more sassier than me.
17:42I said, keep it PG, keep it classy.
17:44Yeah.
17:45Was there a dirty dance in there?
17:47No, it was like...
17:48Was it close?
17:50Sometimes, yeah.
17:51Was it touching?
17:52No touching.
17:54In my mind.
17:59That's some shit.
18:01What?
18:02That's naughty.
18:03Boy.
18:04How did he treat you?
18:06Did he make you coffees and breakfast?
18:08Yes.
18:09Yeah?
18:10So, better than you?
18:13He went to the gym, left me a note,
18:15good morning, classy girl.
18:17I'll be back at half ten to make you breakfast.
18:19Does he not do that with you?
18:21No.
18:22Jeez.
18:23So, he's put on his best performance for you.
18:25Yeah.
18:28Finding out that Luke's treat Lacey better than he treats me
18:31is just a massive shock to the system.
18:34He literally pulled out all stops to make her feel special
18:37when he doesn't do that for me.
18:39He made her a coffee in the morning,
18:41made her breakfast.
18:42If he's doing that for Lacey, why is he not doing it for me?
18:47The thing that made me think is Adam was treating me like a queen
18:50and he said to me,
18:51Amy, I literally am not doing anything for you
18:54that I don't do for Polly.
18:55Yeah.
18:56And it made me think, I can't wait to ask Lacey.
18:58Yeah, me neither.
18:59What Luke's done for Lacey.
19:00Another thing, you know that picture of me and Adam?
19:04Yeah.
19:05He said that he was actually a little bit envious deep down.
19:12He wanted a partner like that.
19:16Sorry.
19:17Sorry, one second.
19:18That's contradicting himself massively.
19:21So, at the beginning, you wasn't classy
19:24and he was proud of me for being classy,
19:26but now he wants me to be more like you because I'm too classy.
19:29Yeah.
19:30Amy's, of course, referring to the photo that was taken
19:33between Lacey and Adam when they were salsa dancing,
19:35and Luke described that initially as not being classy.
19:38And the fact that Amy sees that Luke likes the way that Lacey acts
19:43is confusing to Amy.
19:44Absolutely.
19:47That comment about him being envious
19:51because he wants me to be like you,
19:54he's fucking bullshit.
20:02Hello, baby.
20:04Hello, baby.
20:23Where are we sitting?
20:25Shall we find our places?
20:26Oh, here we are.
20:28Fancy.
20:31Thank you, darling.
20:32I know.
20:35I'm not going to range up a deer cos your dress will fall off.
20:40It's like a family Christmas dinner, isn't it?
20:49I must say, Christine, you look fit.
20:51Salty potato.
20:52Thanks, babe.
20:53Salted potato?
20:54Salty potato.
20:55You look like a salted potato.
20:57Not salted, salty.
21:02I've got lipstick everywhere.
21:08Why are you in such a good mood?
21:18Not because of me.
21:27How do you throw a bag of goodies girl down?
21:30Not that well.
21:31Fill me in.
21:32That, for me, was just a bit of a shock
21:34cos I was like, well, it's just mixed signals.
21:37Like, you've unintentionally made me feel like shit
21:39cos I said what you say and what you do
21:41are two completely different things
21:43and then we had a big bust-up in the evening
21:46that carried on.
21:47It was just rough but I feel like there was a lot of feelings
21:50from Adam over the last three weeks that were not voiced,
21:54that he kind of all laid out on the table.
21:57Do you feel better for getting it off your chest?
21:59The thing is, I voiced a lot to you when it was just me and you.
22:02It's not like I've kept everything to myself.
22:04Like, from the first week, I was like,
22:06didn't like talking about intimacy,
22:08it made me feel uncomfortable.
22:09So I have always aired it, I just haven't said it on the sofa.
22:12But then it just got too much
22:14and I just got really, really frustrated and upset,
22:18which isn't nice, but you've brought that on yourself.
22:23Hopefully you can both come down to the level now.
22:26Yeah, now it's been aired,
22:28hopefully we can just learn from it and again,
22:31just continue going forward.
22:33You just need to cheer up and stop being a mad arse.
22:37You'd know if I was being mad, eh?
22:40Tension is thick between these two.
22:42You could see that Adam is utterly confused.
22:45He's now doing everything that he thought Polly wanted
22:48and as a result of doing that, she's now saying,
22:51nope, it's not what I wanted, it's not enough,
22:54and he still can't win.
22:56How was it when you got home?
22:58It was really good, wasn't it?
23:00Did you treat Lacey any different than you treat Amy?
23:04Erm...
23:05A little bit, I heard.
23:07What?
23:08Well, I treated them different, yeah,
23:10cos they're different people, but...
23:12Right.
23:13Do you know what I mean?
23:14Yeah, do you know what I mean?
23:15Do you feel like you got treated differently by Ed
23:18than you do with Luke?
23:19Yeah, I said that to you, didn't I?
23:22Like, in what ways?
23:23He got up before me, he made me a coffee, he made me breakfast.
23:27But I told you that, didn't I?
23:29I said that, like, Adam treated me like a princess.
23:31I texted you that.
23:32Yeah, but I'm a little bit concerned
23:34because, obviously, he treated me so well.
23:36You did.
23:37You treated me really good, so, you know...
23:40Why don't you do that for me?
23:42Yeah.
23:43Oh, did I treat you well today?
23:45Yeah, but, like, this morning, the cameras came on
23:49and it was you making me a coffee and I was like,
23:52this just doesn't happen, like...
23:54Cos I can't say anything.
23:55In the time we spent together, you was...
23:57Yeah.
23:58..you was great.
23:59Mm.
24:00You've looked after Lacey like a princess.
24:02Like, Adam looked after me like a princess.
24:04Yeah.
24:05He looks after Polly more than he looked after me.
24:07So it was just, obviously, a bit, like, confusing for me.
24:12This has got to be so hard for Amy.
24:14I mean, she's essentially describing the way
24:16she would love to be treated by Luke,
24:18but he's doing it to another woman.
24:20It's got to feel very uncomfortable.
24:23You've said to Lacey that commenting about her not being classy
24:26because you're envious and you want me to be like that,
24:29which has really pissed me off.
24:33I said I was envious, potentially, of...
24:36It was something that I would have liked in our relationship.
24:41That kind of fiery...
24:44So you wanted me to act with Adam like that?
24:46No, not at all.
24:47That's why it's confused me so much,
24:49saying you're envious and want me to be like that,
24:51when you've been saying to me you appreciate that I'm classy
24:53and then you're saying to somebody else that you wish I was like that.
24:58I didn't say I wish you were like that.
25:00But you said you were envious.
25:02You were going in about Lacey, saying,
25:04it's not classy, she didn't act with integrity.
25:07If you showed your dad this photo, how would your dad feel?
25:10And I said, my dad would be happy that I'm having a nice time dancing,
25:13for then you to say to Lacey...
25:15I know. ..I wish... I'm envious that my wife isn't like you.
25:19I know. Shall I explain myself? Yes.
25:24So, when I saw the picture, that was what I had to react on.
25:29And we saw the pictures and then the videos.
25:31I felt guilty, I feel a bit guilty,
25:33cos I saw that it was part of a dance.
25:35You said to me, you said to me, I'm not apologising,
25:37cos I've not said anything wrong, this is my opinion.
25:40Yes. And my opinion still stands, yes.
25:44I'm referring to the photos in terms of its vibrancy
25:47and the energy it brings, cos...
25:50Not because of the photo itself,
25:52cos I told you, if I had seen you in that photo,
25:54I would have felt a bit...
25:56Yeah, but it wasn't like... Guys, can we just squash this photo?
25:59Because this is stupid.
26:02He needs to be called out on what he said,
26:04that he's envious about Lacey, that he wishes that Amy was like that.
26:07It's not about the photo any more. Oh, well, yeah, no.
26:09It isn't. It's about your bullshit.
26:14You have to understand, I only saw the photo, guys.
26:16I didn't see the movement. So, for me, my initial reaction...
26:19Yeah, but it's nothing to do with that. It is to do.
26:21Why didn't you say to me, I'm envious that you don't behave that way?
26:24Why didn't you say, Lacey, this photo is a classic...
26:26Because I don't envy the behaviour.
26:28What I envied was that zest, the music, the vibrancy,
26:32that bit I envy.
26:34I feel like what he meant by that is that you're envious
26:37in respects of, like, he wishes that you were like Lacey in some respects
26:40by letting your hair down and whatever else.
26:42I do let my hair down. I'm always dancing.
26:44I'm always listening to you, just cos I can't fucking dance.
26:47Grab her in the kitchen, then, when the music's on,
26:49and spin her around, mate.
26:51Well, we've tried that, haven't we? We've tried that.
26:56Luke's been saying to me the whole time that he's so proud
26:59that he's got such a classy wife.
27:01I act with integrity, blowing my trumpet,
27:04saying nice things about me. That's my face.
27:07But...
27:08..they're all lies.
27:10He's basically told Lacey he thinks I'm boring.
27:13100% just absolute bullshit.
27:16Luke, you can see why she's a little bit confused.
27:18No, I see that. I see why you would feel that way.
27:21I just feel like a fucking idiot.
27:41The fact that I'm having to speak to you about this now...
27:45..in front of everyone...
27:47..is awful.
27:50I'm just... I don't want to speak about it any more, cos...
27:53..I just need to...
27:55..need time to gather my thoughts.
27:58Luke, in one way, trying to convince Lacey
28:01that he's a fucking idiot,
28:03but in another way, he's trying to convince her
28:06that he's a fucking idiot.
28:08Luke, in one way, trying to compliment Lacey,
28:12in the same sentence, is disrespecting his wife Amy.
28:16Amy feels like he's essentially saying,
28:18you're boring, and for that to come out in this group setting
28:22is really humiliating for her.
28:24I think Luke is saying that what he is attracted to
28:27is someone who is maybe a bit more relaxed,
28:30and what we see with Lacey and Amy
28:32are two different ends of the spectrum.
28:35The problem Luke has is he's often not good at reading the room
28:39or choosing his words carefully enough.
28:42Amy's quite reserved, and Lacey's quite fun and quite light.
28:46I think that's what Luke is trying to articulate here.
28:50But he's expressed it in a way that's hurt his wife
28:53and maybe also caused others in the group
28:55to start to see him as a bit two-faced.
28:58Yeah, I sense Amy's starting to feel
29:00she can't depend on the truth of what Luke says.
29:03She's so rapidly eroding any trust she's ever had for him.
29:09So how are we, Ames?
29:11There's just been one thing after another,
29:13and I've just brushed it under the carpet
29:15and not brought anything up.
29:17Because we're in here, it's fucking hard.
29:20Yeah.
29:21Because it's the pressure, it's the future, it's everything.
29:27Are you OK, though? Yeah, I'm OK.
29:30I genuinely hope that at the end of this, me and Amy can cheers
29:35and say we fucking did it, do you know what I mean? Yeah.
29:38All I can do is keep trying my best, that's all I can do.
29:44It's so fucking confusing for me.
29:47Think how I feel! I know.
29:49Literally, what do you personally think?
29:52What can you see between me and Kim?
29:54I feel like you've still got something.
29:57There is still something there.
29:59I just want him to realise what he's got in front of him.
30:02Yeah.
30:04We are more than friends because we've got that electric heat.
30:08There's something, and... There's something there.
30:13Karen!
30:15I looked up to Christine and Karen from day one,
30:21obviously, right now, they're in a shit place.
30:24So I thought it was my tips, cos me and Sassy are so strong right now,
30:28it's my return to them.
30:31So I try my best to solve the problem.
30:34Don't get me wrong, yeah.
30:37One of the wildest fucking things is,
30:40when I was with Christine,
30:43obviously, I could tell she was, um,
30:47obviously, I could tell she was, um, a bit down.
30:51Mm-hm.
30:53But then, um, I did ask her, like,
30:56isn't this thing Karen?
30:58She went 100%.
31:00Ross, no, no, no, listen.
31:02I love Christina.
31:04But...
31:06..I have to be honest with meself,
31:09and with Christina...
31:11You're here for a reason, and you've got one.
31:14Ross, Ross, I can't help my brain.
31:17Do you want to know why? Do you want to know why?
31:19Cos she's a fucking warrior.
31:21I know she is. Why? I know that.
31:23I don't know, but she's sillier than you.
31:25Anything is, more than you.
31:27When I was with her, all she'd think about was you.
31:30Ross, I appreciate what you're saying.
31:32OK. OK.
31:34OK, come on, OK.
31:36Love you. Love you. Give me a kiss.
31:38LAUGHTER
31:40I love you.
31:42Honestly.
31:46For me, it's just so beautiful to see two men
31:50sitting down together as equals,
31:52talking to each other about a relationship and their feelings.
31:56And ending it with a kiss.
31:58It's beautiful.
32:03I'm actually really nervous. I've got sweaty hands.
32:06And here we have the anonymous letters.
32:09Oh!
32:11This is an opportunity for a couple to give another couple
32:14honest, raw, direct feedback without signing their name to it.
32:18So quite often, the gloves are off.
32:22Oh!
32:24Interesting.
32:26Dear Polly and Adam,
32:28we would like to start by saying
32:30we can see how much you have grown,
32:32both individually and as a couple.
32:35You both admire and respect each other,
32:37but it seems at times you may overstep each other's boundaries.
32:41Adam has expressed he isn't comfortable
32:43discussing bedroom antics publicly.
32:46Polly, you continue to focus on this side of your relationship
32:50and neglect the positive aspects.
32:53We worry that doing so could make Adam feel under pressure
32:57and push him away.
32:59Adam, we know you care deeply for Polly and her feelings,
33:03but in the process, we think you may have neglected your own.
33:07We think it is important you remember each other's boundaries
33:10and do not risk compromising them.
33:13You both have a lot of strengths, especially your banter
33:16and how you bounce off one another.
33:18Focus on those.
33:20Love, question mark.
33:22Aw, that's really cute.
33:24That was nice. I like that.
33:26Do you ever feel like Paul's feels the same?
33:29No, no.
33:30It's shit that's obviously come off the back of the two days
33:33that we've had, because obviously Adam has expressed to me
33:37a lot of thoughts and feelings that he's had
33:41over the last two or three weeks.
33:43I think the main thing it's saying is that because the whole,
33:46like, bedroom antics hasn't just been a thing
33:48that I've been bothered about for the last week,
33:50it's been from the first commitment ceremony.
33:52No, I know. I know.
33:54What's wrong?
33:56Which bit do you not like?
33:58It's just made me realise, like,
34:00how selfish I've been with your feelings,
34:03and I just don't like that.
34:05I don't feel like I've taken your feelings into consideration,
34:08and that's been really shit,
34:10because I never, ever wanted to make you feel like that.
34:13And I'm sorry that I have. I'm really sorry that I have.
34:16You've realised it now and you've acknowledged it
34:19and you're going to take it into consideration, so...
34:22You adore each other, like, but you show it in different ways.
34:25Yeah, and that's what I feel like I have.
34:27And that's what I feel like I haven't taken into account,
34:31is the fact that I've asked for this, that and this,
34:34and he's shown me in so many different ways and I'm like,
34:37that's still not good enough. Yeah.
34:39And I said to him a couple of weeks ago, like, I never...
34:42You're all right.
34:43I never want to make you feel like anything you do isn't good enough.
34:49It kind of seems like here,
34:51Polly has really digested what has been said
34:54and actually it's made her quite upset.
34:56I'd like to see, though, that from this,
34:58that she can make some changes
35:00and just be a bit mindful about the way she comes across with Adam.
35:04I'm king and queen.
35:08Nathan and Lacey, you are both so aesthetically
35:12pleasing and compliment each other well.
35:14You dance a lot, show a healthy amount of PDA,
35:17which shows a very loving connection.
35:20It's very clear you guys support each other and have each other's back.
35:24Please continue to communicate on a deeper level
35:27and don't be afraid to be runnable with one another.
35:30Nathan, don't be afraid to speak what you're feeling.
35:33Lacey needs you to open up more
35:35as she is a very open and emotionally intelligent lady.
35:38We have every bit of faith in your marriage
35:41and can't wait to watch it bloom forever.
35:43Love you so much.
35:45That was lush. That was lovely.
35:47Whoever wrote that, thank you.
35:49I want to know who wrote that, that's really nice.
35:52Aw, that's nice, isn't it?
35:54Thank you, whoever did that, that was actually nice.
35:56Are you happy with that?
35:57I definitely want to continue the journey after the experiment ends.
36:01Like, you're not the finished product, you're still a work in progress.
36:05It's the start of something beautiful.
36:07Well done, guys.
36:09Who is this guy?
36:13Last commitment ceremony, Nathan wasn't ready to say, I love you,
36:16but clearly he sees a future and I think he's feeling the emotion.
36:22OK.
36:25Dear Amy and Luke, we hope this letter finds you well.
36:28Firstly, we think we should address the main problem in your relationship.
36:32We believe this is Luke's desire
36:34to get involved in other people's drama for attention.
36:37Ooh.
36:38We have noticed this makes... Wait.
36:41We have noticed this makes Amy uncomfortable.
36:44It displays a fake and disingenuous nature
36:47and gives the impression you care more about other people's business
36:51than your own marriage.
36:53We have also witnessed how it gives Amy the ick
36:56when you speak in a sexual manner.
36:58Luke, we would advise you to put Amy before attention
37:01as this was another concern for her.
37:03Amy, we see the work you are putting in to find a spark,
37:07so we praise you on the effort you are putting in.
37:10Kindest regards. Kiss, kiss, kiss.
37:14Er, we wrote that letter.
37:17It said, be open and honest, so I felt like I was.
37:21Is this both of you or just you?
37:23Oh, both of us. Oh, both of us. Yeah, yeah.
37:26I feel like you're a different person with different people.
37:30So when he was talking about the photo at the commitment ceremony,
37:33you called Lacey unclassy, and then you said,
37:36in the partner swap week, you were envious to Lacey.
37:41I just thought, he wants a bit of air to him, where's the camera?
37:44I'm going to pretend I've got an opinion when I probably ain't.
37:47Facts. No, that's not facts, that's an opinion.
37:49What are you on about? It's convenient at the time.
37:52What are you on about? Did you switch your story?
37:54What do you mean, switch your story? You did.
37:56I just feel like everything you say is, like, bullshit.
38:00Bullshit.
38:16I just feel like everything you say is, like, bullshit.
38:20You go for attention where the cameras are.
38:22That's your opinion, fair enough. Yeah.
38:24And thank you for giving it to me in that case. You're welcome.
38:28Are you sure you're not holding back because you're actually
38:31in front of the group and can't change your story
38:33to each person individually?
38:36I'm very sure of that. OK.
38:40It's quite clear here that Sasha holds a lot of resentment
38:43toward Luke, and I'm just wondering if this goes back
38:46to the argument at the previous dinner party
38:49where Luke took Alex aside and I think Sasha felt
38:52that she didn't have the support of Luke
38:54and she hasn't let go of that. No.
38:57It's her opinion. You take it for the chance.
38:59You take it for the chance. Thank you for your opinion.
39:02I do feel like maybe Sasha does have a point
39:05on what Luke's told me. It just doesn't add up.
39:08There is no advice in here. This is just a personal attack.
39:12What is the advice here?
39:14The things that I've said to Luke I'm not concerned about at all
39:17because I've always been quite aware.
39:20He's a different person with different people.
39:23The only person I'm concerned about is Amy,
39:25so he needed to hear it.
39:27Right, fucking let's unblock, then.
39:30Fucking, I know.
39:35Dear Ross and Sasha,
39:37it is clear to see that you are both into each other
39:40in equal amounts.
39:42We feel that Sasha cares for Ross a lot
39:45and this can sometimes come across as overprotective.
39:49We don't know if this may make Ross feel a bit suffocated
39:53since watching you both from the start,
39:56one of us can 100% say you work beyond the experiment,
40:00the other can't, due to the quick escalation of arguments.
40:04Ross acting on impulse, such as removing your wedding ring,
40:08would have probably been enough
40:10to end a relationship outside the experiment.
40:13Our advice would be to look at the bigger picture
40:16whenever you have arguments
40:18as your positives definitely outweigh the negatives.
40:22Sasha, we feel that you are our biggest inspiration.
40:27You have gone above and beyond for Ross
40:30and you are his biggest support.
40:32Ross... That's sweet.
40:34I'm going to cry. No, yeah.
40:36Yeah, I'm going to cry.
40:38I feel like I'm the boss over there.
40:40Go on, babe.
40:42Ross, try not to get drawn towards conflict.
40:45It is clear to see that you are an amazing father
40:48who always puts his family...
40:51Oh, Ross, don't.
40:53Don't.
40:55Oh, my God.
40:57Oh.
40:59Oh, Ross.
41:01Oh.
41:02..who always puts his family, friends and wife first.
41:07We hope you take our advice on board.
41:10Please know it comes from love.
41:12Love that.
41:14That was really lovely.
41:16That was really, really nice.
41:18That was really lovely, guys.
41:22Ross, Ross.
41:23Isn't it lovely to see Ross being so comfortable
41:26to be vulnerable with the group,
41:28to let out the tears, to express how he feels
41:31about his daughter and his wife, and he's proud of that.
41:40I feel like we shouldn't lower the tone
41:42and talk about the negatives now.
41:44I feel like we should just leave it at this.
41:46I appreciate that. It does mean a lot, honestly.
41:49You're amazing together, you love each other,
41:51you're obsessed with each other.
41:53Like, you can't wait to meet his daughter,
41:56because you are going to be a little gem with her.
42:01I do sometimes worry that I might come across suffocating,
42:04but from the feedback I hear from Ross,
42:07it's always that he loves the way...
42:09It's a good thing.
42:10He's like, I have never had a woman support me the way you do.
42:13Yeah.
42:14And he says, when we're in the group,
42:16and the way you tell me what everyone's saying and involve me,
42:19I don't usually have.
42:21I think what we're seeing here is real progress with Sasha,
42:24because there were some negatives,
42:26but Sasha has chosen not to focus on that
42:28and instead to look at the positives.
42:34Dear Kieran and Christina,
42:36as well as looking amazing together,
42:39it's clear to see how much you care and support each other
42:42and you want to be in each other's lives.
42:45However, it's obvious there are differences in your long-term goals.
42:49We have also noticed, Kieran, you compare Christina to your exes,
42:54which won't help Christina's confidence.
42:58There is also a lack of intimacy between the two of you,
43:01which hasn't helped you grow as a couple.
43:04But we also want to remind you of all the good things in your marriage.
43:11You were so amazing at the start and we all wanted what you two had.
43:17Our advice going forward,
43:19Kieran, you need to stop comparing exes to Christina.
43:23Christina, you need to take finances and future goals
43:27a little more seriously to show him you're committed.
43:30If these cons are worked on and given a chance to improve,
43:34then they can easily be fixed.
43:36But if you can't, then a bigger conversation needs to be had
43:40about your future. Love, Anonymous.
43:47How do you feel about that?
43:49I would say I'm not comparing Christina to me ex.
43:54When I was told on the sofa to write down how Christina's different,
43:58I soon realised, actually, they're very similar.
44:02It's hard to not feel the oh, shit
44:05when you're realising how similar someone is to your ex.
44:11Kieran, I am not your ex.
44:15I can see the potential with us.
44:17I can see me, in whatever time you need, moving to Newcastle.
44:22I'll make that fucking journey for you because I care about you
44:26and I see a potential with you.
44:28I have fought for you from day one.
44:32We have so much respect for each other.
44:34We've got that fire and electric between us
44:37and I don't think I can let that go.
44:40You don't want to let it go, I can see it,
44:42and I don't want to put pressure on you,
44:44but sometimes you need a little kick up the fucking arse.
44:52There's no-one, there's no-one in the world like you.
44:58And I've never met anyone more unapologetically themselves.
45:05I know my head's all over the place at the minute.
45:09And I know I'm potentially risking losing one of the best women
45:13that I could ever wish for.
45:16And that's one of the hardest things, to admit to myself.
45:23But if I can't see things moving forward,
45:26I'm not going to lead you on, because I do care about you.
45:31The other day, she was just walking about being a happy self
45:34and everyone that she bumped into, she just brought a smile to,
45:37and that makes me so happy, just to know that you're this girl
45:40just walking through your daily life
45:42and you're bringing people smiles everywhere you go.
45:46And I was sitting grinning because I was like, this is my wife.
45:51HE SNIFFLES
45:55He literally said, you bring joy to everywhere you go.
46:04We clearly, very, very clearly just care about each other so much.
46:12I can obviously see this future with Kieran.
46:17So it is really difficult, but so beautiful to fucking hear.
46:37Kieran, just think logically, like, just really think about it.
46:40She's a good woman.
46:43I know she is.
46:47I'm only getting emotional because I do really, really care about Christina.
46:57At the minute, I'm in that grey area where I'm thinking,
47:00is this a friendship or is this more?
47:03And all I can do is be honest with you.
47:07And I'm really, really, really grateful and thankful for everything.
47:30Christina's still trying to fight for it.
47:33I care about Christina more than I think she realises, like...
47:39And I know, I know I'll never meet another Steena in my life.
47:43I'm well aware of that.
47:45I need to work out whether this can be more than a friendship.
47:54I love you so much.
47:56I love you.
47:58I love you.
48:00I love you so much.
48:02No, I'm sorry. No, I know. I know, I know, I know.
48:20Next time...
48:23..the first round of homestays...
48:25Good morning, universe!
48:27..involve a much warmer welcome than Nathan expected...
48:30I didn't realise I was going to have three wives instead of one.
48:33Mum, stop flirting with my man!
48:36If only he was 20 years older, I'd snap him up.
48:39..while an emotional homecoming...
48:44..sow seeds of doubt for Ross...
48:50It's not happening.
48:52..and Sasha.
48:53Manchester's not a certainty for me anymore.
48:55I just hope it doesn't get in the way of our relationship.
48:58..and Polly's attempts to win over Adam...
49:00I hope you're not going to make too much mess.
49:02..don't go as planned.
49:04How are you finding married life?
49:06Hard.
49:07You've just made it sound muggy as fuck.
49:09No, you actually take the piss.
49:10You're lucky I carried on this marriage after you did that simple as that.
49:13What is actually wrong with you?
49:15I feel like I've really reached my fucking limit.
49:25I feel like I've really reached my fucking limit.
