-[Narrator] Previously...
[phone chiming]
..the twist finally revealed.
[phones chiming] [background chatter]
-[Narrator] ..putting new relationships
to the ultimate test.
-[Ben] I'll never go down without a fight.
-[Leesh] Like, instantly I felt,
as if your boyfriend had just cheated on you or something.
You're OK. We're good.
Here's my opportunity...
to have the experience
that I thought I was going to have.
-[Narrator] And Alex was the first
to enter a Love Triangle.
Do you trust me?
-[Madison] Mm-hm.
[elevator dings]
Bec?
-[Bec] Alex. How are you going? - [Alex] Hey, how you going?
You don't sound too convinced.
[pensive music playing]
-[Leesh] Today's bombshell day.
Something tells me I won't forget today.
I've been in this bubble of happiness
for so many weeks now.
But then last night,
that text message came through.
[sniffs]
I feel sick.
I feel triggered.
And I feel like it's all just sort of, "what if"
and I hate "what if".
I've said from the beginning, I need to trust the process.
And so far, the process has worked very well.
So, I'm hoping that he can just go on this date,
meet this woman,
put all of the "What ifs" to rest
and then we can just...
progress forward.
-[Narrator] Today, our couples come face to face...
with the Love Triangle twist.
The original singles will go on a blind date
with the suitor they didn't choose
three weeks ago.
A sliding doors moment
that will test the bonds they've created
by offering a glimpse into what could have been,
and forcing see our singles to ask themselves,
"Did I make the right choice?"
For some, it's a second chance.
-[Yannick] I'm really excited.
Because things haven't been amazing with Erika, right?
So, of course I'm hoping
there'll be a spark with Belinda.
I think my fro will literally fall off my head
if I go on another date with a girl that's not into me.
-[Narrator] For others, it's a devastating blow.
-[Madison] Trusting someone
isn't something that I do easily.
But for some reason,
as soon as I met Alex and we connected,
I trusted him straight away.
And it scares me,
because, I'm like, literally giving you the reins
to hurting me.
-[Bec] But hopefully I will get to see you again.
I've really enjoyed talking to you,
getting to know as well... -Same.
It's been nice. -..and seeing you.
-Yeah, same. -Lovely.
-[Bec] Well, I best be off. [chuckles]
-[Madison] Yeah, I've been thinking
about the date, all day.
Like, I don't know what's going on.
I don't know who she is,
I don't know who she's about, or what she's doing,
or how she's acting.
Like, obviously, she's a model, right?
She'd be tall, gorgeous, whatever.
I would shut off completely.
I just need to hear from him, like, he felt nothing,
and he's still confident in him and I, I suppose.
-[Alex] Hello.
-[Madison] Hello.
How you going?
Good, how are you?
Good.
Whatcha doin'?
Nothing.
Just chilling?
-Yeah. -Yeah?
How was your date?
[kissing]
Yeah, it was nice.
-Mm? -Yeah.
What happened? Tell me everything.
Ah, we sat, we talked, we drank.
[chuckles] Um... Nah, she's a really nice person.
Exactly the way I expected her to be.
Mm-hm.
What's she look like?
Ah, like, five...
eight.
Brunette, brown eyes.
Were you attracted to her?
No. Personally, not really.
We just sat there and chatted, like it was one of the boys.
Like, more mates, which was nice.
Um... And there was times where it was...
like a little bit...
like pulling teeth.
So, it would be better
if I didn't see her again, I think.
Do you want to see her again?
No, just because of this.
So, if you and I weren't as close as we are,
there would be a chance of today going a different way then?
Potentially.
-OK. -Yeah. We got along well.
Like, if we weren't together...
I wouldn't mind seeing her again.
OK.
I feel like there was a connection.
I can tell.
There's no connection.
It's impossible for me to have a connection.
If there's a connection, it's a one-sided connection.
I feel something.
So, when is that trust coming that we've been talking about?
You don't think I trust you?
I don't think so.
Not fully, no.
You even accused me of having a connection with her.
-I didn't accuse. -You did.
You said, "I think there's a connection there.
I think you've got a connection".
The way you were looking at me, it was like you were BS.
I've told you there's no connection
and you're telling me I'm lying.
So, either you trust me or you don't.
Because, if we want this to work,
I need that.
It's as simple as that.
-[James] You look nice.
Thank you.
-[James] Heading off, are ya?
-Huh? -Heading off?
-Ya. -OK, good.
I feel so uncomfortable right now.
So, I'm about to go on a date with Daniel,
who was the other person that I was texting at the start
of this, um, experience...
um, who I didn't choose.
-[Narrator] It's been three weeks
since Madi chose truck salesman, James,
after texts from personal trainer, Daniel,
raised serious red flags.
It's a real big red flag when a guy starts saying stuff,
like, "My girlfriend was a psycho",
or something like that.
Then that will be a massive red flag for me.
But we shall wait and see.
[phone chimes]
"Basically, I know"...
[phone chimes]
-[Madi] Oh.
I really wish Daniel had not just said that.
Obviously last night was a bit of a red flag,
as opposed to the psychos and the toxic girlfriends. Um...
-[Daniel] Well, it is what it is.
You know what I mean?
Got to call a spade a spade, babe.
-[Madi] I chose James over Daniel,
because me and James had lot more of a connection.
James is more interested in getting to know me,
me and James have a lot in common,
and we've proven that the last two weeks.
-Walk you to the door? -Yeah.
I think it would be a nice gesture.
I am going in there with an open mind,
a half open mind,
but, I'm not...
Um, I'm not expecting anything, like, romantically with Daniel.
The door has, like, a tiny crack open for Daniel
if he... like, was spectacular.
Daniel has a steep hill to climb.
I definitely struggle with trust,
and, like, based on his text messages,
I didn't feel like I could trust him.
I've kind of put Daniel in this box.
Like, I think that he's a fuckboy.
[dramatic music playing]
Daniel would have to have an amazing personality,
like, a personality transplant
from those text messages,
and be, like, the most attractive person in the world
for me to consider this.
-Daniel? -Is your name Madi?
Yeah, did you just walk straight past me?
-Blind date, yeah? -How are you?
-How are you. Mwah. -Good thank you.
Nice to meet you.
How are you going?
I'm doing alright. And you?
-You doing alright. Good, good. -Yeah.
-Nice to meet you, finally. -Nice to meet you.
-Talk to me. -Why did you walk past me?
I don't even know... I don't know where to go.
One person standing on a cliff,
looking into the thing.
Obviously not very perspicacious, hey?
-Yeah. -How are you?
What does 'perspicacious' mean?
-Your ability to perceive. -0h, OK.
You're very good looking, by the way.
-Oh, thank you, so are you. -You're very attractive.
-[Daniel] [narrating] She's very good looking.
She dresses well, she's got very nice teeth,
a nice smile.
Good hair. She's attractive.
Do you know what I mean? She's attractive.
She's genuinely attractive.
My best foot will go forward...
my right foot,
and then it will follow the left,
and we'll see what happens.
Like, I don't know, we'll see what happens.
Like, do you understand, yeah? We'll see what happens.
Um, do you want to go on this date?
Fuck yeah.
-This way. -Where we going, darling?
I am approaching Daniel with a bit of caution,
because of the red flags and the texting.
But I don't know, I feel like...
I feel like he is a warmer person in person.
-Nice. Where do you want to sit? -I'll sit here.
Beautiful. I'll come around.
Come around. Welcome. Join the table.
-Join the table. -[speaks indistinctly]
-Nice plant, isn't it? -A lovely plant.
What's your favourite plant?
Edelweiss. I think it's called Edelweiss.
I like them flowers, those flowers.
-Yeah. Oh, cool. -Yeah, yeah.
I find Daniel attractive in a certain...
Like, in a way.
He's got, like, a moustache, he's got, like, glasses.
He's dark... Yeah.
He's got tattoos. I noticed a lot of tattoos. Fun.
I feel like I need to know more about you.
-[Daniel] Why's that?
Because I feel like...
our conversation didn't go that great about the...
[laughs] Yeah. OK.
Yeah.
So, yeah, yeah.
So, you're not a fan of, like, the way I text.
You kind of were just very...
I don't know, it's hard to explain.
You can explain it without hurting my feelings.
So, legitimately, just go.
Like, roast me. -OK.
These girlfriends.
You were just telling me they're psychos and toxic.
I was just, like, "Don't... Stupid!
"Don't do it!" -[Daniel laughs]
I do agree I should have worded it better.
-Yeah. -I do agree.
And I do take accountability for fucking up
in some of my relationships, for sure.
Because you have to understand someone's point of view
to move forward.
Exactly, it's about perceptive.
-Perception. Perception. -'Perception'. Damn it!
-Being perspicacious. -Wow. Pers...
[sputtering] Argh. Perspicacious.
-[Daniel] [narrating] Definitely
a bit of energy between us, definitely a bit of vibe.
But I think maybe she's standoffish,
because of her situation.
It's just a word, babe. Like...
-Babe? -Perspicacious.
Do you not like being called 'Babe'?
I don't know.
I just think it's really forward when you don't know someone.
You can call me 'babe'.
-I'm a nice person, you know. -I know you're nice.
I don't doubt that for a second.
I've never hurt anyone in my life.
I don't think you would.
I think you are a very nice person.
I know I may look like I'm a bit of an idiot or a dickhead,
and maybe over text messages as well...
Do you want some more wine?
-[Madi] Sure.
-[Daniel] Where do you fill these up to?
I fill it. But maybe we'll keep it classy.
[Daniel laughs]
New page, babe.
And that's what I said. Clean slate.
Babes. Let's stop with the 'babes' now.
What do you want me to call you? Madi?
Yeah. Yeah.
I'll call you... I'll call you 'Mads'.
I said you can call me whatever you want.
But then I was like, maybe...
-Maybe just not 'babe', huh? -No, not 'babe'.
Bro, like, I'm talking to you,
we haven't shut up this whole time.
Like, we've been non-stop from the word go.
Like, I obviously like you, and you obviously are into me.
-Cheers to it. -Cheers to look in the eyes.
-Cheers. -[laughs]
I feel a little bit bad about going on this date. And...
Poor Benny's at home.
-[Narrator] Ly, who has a history
of unsuccessfully dating the same type of guy...
-[Ly] So, Danny did text me
something in Vietnamese.
Like, he may have used Google, but I think he's Vietnamese.
I've always been going for similar men as Danny.
Someone who's culturally similar.
Who I can have good banter with.
-[Narrator] Decided to break the pattern
by choosing builder, Ben.
-Lovely to meet you -Hello, nice to meet you.
Oh, my god, you've got orange hair.
I do have orange hair.
-[Narrator] But living with Ben has failed to produce a spark.
I need a best friend, who makes me laugh a lot
and who can make me horny.
-[Narrator] And entrepreneur Danny, has been on Ly's mind.
I am so curious about Danny.
Oh, how did I leave things with Danny?
Well, the last time I called him, he was in the toilet.
He missed my call. [laughs]
-[Ly] I primarily have dated Asians.
But I haven't had any good luck with Asian men.
So, I don't know.
[pensive music playing]
[chuckles]
I thought that was Danny.
I thought that was Danny for a second.
[suspenseful music playing]
-[Danny] Ly.
Oh, my god!
[laughs]
-I knew it. -I knew it.
Hi.
[both laughing]
What are the chances?
Honestly, what are the chances?
I can't believe it's you!
I mean, I could!
-[Ly] I know him from Adelaide.
We have the same group of friends.
We used to work at the same wedding company,
doing catering.
Five years later, we're going on a date.
[laughs] Just...
Crazy.
I can't believe it's you!
Did you know it was going to be me?
Yeah, you're a counsellor, you moved to Melbourne at 23,
and then we hung out when you came back.
-We did. [laughs] -Yeah.
And now we're meeting five years later.
-Yeah. -Here?
I've always thought she was beautiful
the whole time I've known her.
We've got the same mutual friends.
We never got to know each other past the surface level.
A lot of memories coming back.
Yeah, this is so funny. Like, what are the chances?
You know what I do remember, though?
-What? -We used to work for In Catering.
-We did? [laughs] -Yeah, the catering company.
Yeah, I do remember that.
At the end of the shift, we were all cleaning up,
and you found a piano and started playing on it.
Oh, my god, I did. That sounds like me.
While all of us were picking up chopsticks
and cleaning up.
[laughter]
You were like, "Alright, I'm clocking off right now".
[laughs]
Kind of feels like we're meant to get to know each other.
Feels like we're meant to meet.
Feels like we're destined to get to know each other more.
That's what it feels like.
-Do you want to pop this? -Oh, OK.
-Alright. -Do it.
-[Danny] It's going to shoot out that way.
-[Ly] I've actually never done it before.
[laughs]
What...
[Ly laughs]
-[Danny] Wow, it's... -[Ly] No, I'll get it.
[both shriek]
-[Danny] That went off.
Alright, cool. We'll get that later.
It's just funny how life works.
-[Ly] Cheers.
Nice to see you again.
[laughs]
Who would have thought, right?
-[Ly] Oh, what a day. How unexpected.
-[Danny] It's weird.
I know you've moved to Melbourne,
but I just never really pictured you being so...
like, maturing so quickly.
Always had this idea of you
just being taken care of by your parents all the time,
just being spoilt.
I wish. [laughs]
I literally just stereotyped you.
I was like, "Oh, man. I'm not doing this again."
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -I'm not doing the ABGs again.
Really?
I feel like when people meet me, right,
they put me as, like, ABG.
I'm just like, you know, I like to dress up.
OK, so in the dating world,
'ABG' stands for 'Asian Baby Girl'.
Yeah.
But, I can be extra when I need to be,
but when you really get to know me, I'm super bogan.
Very extra, wear fake lashes, loves bubble tea.
Which I do like.
[laughs] OK. Alright.
It's getting a bit hot.
OK, alright.
You got a tatt as well?
I've got a few, yeah.
-Yeah, same. -Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Is that for...
And I've got a couple on my neck, as well.
That's pretty gangster.
Where do I begin?
I don't know. I'm just trying to process it all.
The Danny that I know,
he's Asian, I feel familiar.
I've got a few.
I guess I'll show ya later if we see each other again.
[laughs] Yeah.
"If we see each other again".
Oh, you better make an impression...
Oh, wow. Didn't realise we were doing that.
Too much pressure now. I'm getting nervous.
-[Ly] With Danny, you know,
compared to my first date with Ben,
it just clicked. It just clicked.
Do you want us to catch up again some time, Ly?
There's Bill.
Hey, he's back!
You named him!
[both laughing]
-[Ly] Good one.
So, what do you eat then, man?
What do you mean, what do I eat?
-Salami? -Did you just call me, 'man'?
-I can't call you... -Oh, man. Be better.
I can't call you 'Madi', I can't call you 'Babe'.
You can call me 'Madi'.
Oh, wait, sorry, I can't call you 'babe', and I can't...
You can... Ah, no, no.
Tell you what, you do you, and I'll just...
I just... I just... I just find it funny.
I'm happy to be on this date with Daniel.
Like, I think he is very funny,
and makes me laugh,
but I don't even know
if he knows that he's being funny.
But, yeah, I think, Daniel's going to redeem himself
from the text messages that he sent.
What's your type then?
I don't know. Someone to have fun with.
Like, someone that doesn't take everything too seriously.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Just like, yeah.
I respect that.
It's a cop out answer, but I'll let you have it.
-Was it a cop out answer? -I reckon, I reckon.
I've been practising that one.
-Have ya? -Yep. How about yourself?
You're not my usual type, I won't lie.
Yeah.
-You're very good looking. -Thank you.
I think you're very attractive. You're gorgeous. Yeah.
Um, you've got great teeth, the smile.
Thank you.
Do I have something in my teeth now?
-I feel like I do. -Show me.
I did at the first couple's party.
-No, you don't. Gorgeous teeth. -OK.
-Great teeth. -Thank you. Um...
Um...
You're very attractive.
Very good looking. -Thank you. So are you.
[both laughing]
And I'm not disrespecting your boy at home,
I forget his name, boring name, James.
I'm just doing what I came here to do, which is meet you.
-Can you not... -[Daniel laughs]
Can you not call him a 'boy', and 'back home'
and say 'boring'?
That's rude. You're showing disrespect.
It's just a bit of banter.
I know, but we're getting along.
Don't say that. That's not nice.
I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here,
don't talk about James like that.
-Come on. -It's just a joke.
-Come on, we're adults here. -Huh?
We're adults.
Yeah.
You don't need to put someone else down, to make yourself...
go up.
Just a joke.
Um...
Now, I've forgotten what I was going to say.
I've actually forgotten what I was going to say.
Daniel's not for me.
Start of the date,
wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.
He was about here. I was like, "OK".
We were talking, lovely,
and then as the date went on, it went...
Here, here.
And then I was looking at him, going,
"Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it".
And then it went here, and I was like, "Oh, fuck".
[laughs]
Madi, it was lovely to meet you.
-OK. -Was it lovely to meet me?
Yeah, it was lovely to meet you.
-Absolutely. Mwah. -Give you a hug.
-It was nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
I'm sure I may see you again.
Ooh. OK, thank you very much.
-Ciao, ciao, ciao, ciao. -Alright, see ya.
-[Madi] Alright, I think before,
I was kind of half open-minded.
Now, I'm like,
the door is shut, we've nailed it closed,
it's been like...
There's not even a woodman in the world
that could come and open this door in my eyes right now.
Like, it is closed.
This date with Daniel made me just think
that I was 100 percent right in my decision with James.
I've never wanted to see James more in my life than right now.
-[James] G'day, g'day.
-[Madi] Hello.
I'm so excited to see you.
-Are you good? -Yeah.
-[Ly] Benny!
-[Ben] Hi!
-[Ly] Hi! I'm so tired. -[Ben] You're home.
-[Ly] What are you doing? -[Ben] I'm cooking...
I'm cooking my spaghetti for ya.
-[Ly gasps] -For tonight. Yeah.
Oh my god, I came home in perfect timing.
I'm hungry.
Hopefully, it's not the last supper.
-[Ben] Feel like it's wine time.
OK, I had a bit of wine today already.
Well, champagne. -Oh, did ya?
Sounds like you had a bit of fun today.
How was it?
We met at a park,
like this nice, really, nice park.
Yeah.
So, I sat there waiting for him.
Then, yeah, so Danny came, and I was like,...
"Oh, my gosh!"
Yeah, I know him.
We used to work
at a wedding catering company together, five years ago.
-[Ben] Yeah, right.
And he recognised me straight away, too.
So, and he also said, "I knew it was you".
Look, Ly's come back with a bit of a...
look in her eye.
It does make you feel a bit, you know,
"Oh, well, I'm at a disadvantage,
because they know each other outside of this experience".
-[Ben] So, it was fun and...
-[Ly] Yeah.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-[Ben] [narrating] Yeah, look, it's tough, it's tough.
But she picked me over him for a reason.
So, I'm not giving up.
Like, I came here to try and create something
and grow something with Ly.
And now I'm at a point now
where I've got to try and kick that up a notch into something.
Yeah.
-[Ly] [sighs] Yeah.
-[Narrator] After three blissful weeks
for sparky, Kyle and car rental manager, Leesh,
the arrival of a third party is an unwelcome intrusion.
Do you reckon she'll like me?
That's a bit hard not to.
-[Narrator] But after living
with fiery retail manager, Erika,
Yannick is hoping that tonight's date with Belinda
will be a return to form
for the so-called 'Walking Tinder'.
I guess the reason why I'm excited,
is because things haven't been amazing with Erika, right?
So, it has been a bit of an uphill battle for me.
Normally, I don't have any issues with women.
Most of the time,
I have girls, like, throwing themselves at me.
So, I'm really interested to see
what the vibe Belinda comes in with.
-[Erika] All ready to go?
Yep, all ready.
It's been interesting since we got the text messages,
she says she doesn't care,
but, at the end of the day, I think she cares.
It's going to be interesting.
Going in open-minded, I guess, just to see what happens,
and, yeah.
Hopefully, she's nice and we have a good time.
Yeah. How are you feeling about everything?
I'm fine about it.
I mean, there's nothing to it, to be honest.
-[Yannick] OK.
Um... Yeah, have fun.
For me,
is there going to be potential for a romantic connection there?
Because that's what I did come here for.
-[Erika] But, like, how do you even get that
from, like, the first date?
You know what I mean? -Yeah.
I don't know. I guess that spark, right?
Like, if that spark is there. Like...
-[Erika] But you thought we had a spark on the first date.
I think we had a nice first date.
I didn't.
-[Yannick] [narrating] The reason
why I chose Erika over Belinda
was because she was really cheeky.
And she was this upbeat, fun...
passionate person.
And then I've got almost the opposite of that
through this experience.
-Ciao. Mwah. -Bye.
-[Yannick] [narrating[ Honestly,
like, it might sound really harsh to say,
but I don't think I've had fun...
[Erika sniffs]
..since the minute I met Erika.
[dramatic music playing]
So, tonight,
I just want to, like, have a good night.
And have that banter
that I've been missing with Erika,
and feel, like, confident in myself.
[pensive music playing]
-[Yannick] Hello. Hi. -[Belinda] Hi.
-[Yannick] Belinda? -[Belinda] Yes.
-Hi. -Yeah, hi. How are you?
-How you going? -Good, how are you?
-Nice to meet you. -Yeah, you too.
How are you? -Yeah, I'm really good.
-Welcome, welcome. -Yeah, thank you.
That's yours?
-I started with out you, yeah. -Clearly.
I dressed...
Ladies first, apparently, is the thing.
I know, I was waiting.
You're showing more cleavage than I am.
A little bit, right? [both laughing]
How are you? Good?
Yeah, I'm good. [laughs]
-[Belinda] [narrating] He's definitely attractive,
he's hot, absolutely.
[laughs]
I feel like a little girl saying that.
[laughs]
Yes.
Do I look anything like you thought?
-Halfly, halfly. -OK.
OK. What were you expecting?
-[laughs] I don't know. -Less cleavage?
Yeah, probably less cleavage and probably not as nice teeth.
-OK. -But I was expecting a jawline.
A jaw... That's so specific.
-Yeah. -Like a strong jawline?
OK, alright. -[Belinda laughs]
And the fro, obviously,
not something you were expecting.
No. No. But cool though.
-OK, thank you. -Really cool. Really cool.
-[Yannick] Like, I'm so relieved to be honest.
Like, fun, laughing, good vibes, light-hearted.
What modelling do you do?
-OnlyFans? -Ah, it was for, like...
[laughs] OnlyFans.
-[Yannick] Yeah, just first impressions, great.
I couldn't have been happier right now.
No shade.
I'm just going to stalk you later.
-No, no. -See what you're packing.
[laughter]
Stop. I didn't say that, I didn't say that.
It's inappropriate. [Yannick chuckles]
After, like...
Yeah, after this experience
that I've been going through with Erika,
like, I think I would have had a spark with a tree
at this point.
But, like... Yeah, there's a connection there.
Have you got any tattoos?
Um, yeah, I was thinking
of getting, like, a magic wand near my vagina.
OK. In your vagina?
-No, just here. Just here. -OK.
But then I didn't, I chickened out.
And I was like, "I don't want that any more".
OK.
So, now, I don't even want anything.
She's obviously an out there character, like, you know.
But, it's not what I expected from the three days of texting.
Because you're from Canberra,
like, I put you in a box in my head.
-[Belinda laughs] -Yeah, and I'm so, like, wrong.
"She's fucking boring as shit".
And then when you were like... That's been the funny thing.
Like, I don't want to talk about Erika too much,
because tonight's about us, but we're vibing straight away.
Like, I think
there's a lot of flirtatious banter straight away.
-[Yannick] [narrating] Yeah, I think Belinda
is more, like, fun,
like, to be honest,
than I thought she was going to be.
And I'm looking forward to getting to know her more.
My sister has three kids. -Yes.
I've been un uncle for...
six years, now... -Six years?
..and it's such a big part of who I am,
and I love my nieces and nephews.
It's funny though
because I don't really like kids.
but I love mine.
Huh?
I've got one kid.
-You have one kid? -Yeah.
I've got one child.
-You have one child. -I didn't tell you that?
-Yeah, you didn't tell me that. -You never asked.
And I wouldn't lie about it.
-Yeah. -Obviously.
But, I was like,
if I say I'm divorced with one child,
I'm going to sound, like, a fucking 40-year-old lady.
It's a big thing to leave out, of, like, your life.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. And is that your most recent ex?
-Yeah, he's my ex-husband. -Yeah.
Um, but, yeah. Anyway...
-[Yannick] OK.
What do you think of that?
[chuckles]
It's like...
I don't feel, like, any way about it.
I wish you had told me via text.
-[Yannick] [narrating] It's not something that scares me.
For me, I don't take that lightly.
And I do want my own family,
and I do want all those type of things, and, yeah.
I don't, necessarily,
want to inherit someone else's family.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you love being a mum?
Well, my Instagram name
is literally, 'Aussie MILF', so...
OK. [laughs]
You just always wanted to be a MILF.
Is that right? You're like, "Hello?"
If the shoe fits.
Yeah.
[laughing]
-[Yannick] [narrating] I think Belinda
is definitely an interesting character,
laugh a minute.
Obviously, it's still super early.
We've just had one date.
It's not, like, I need to be a father now.
Shall we hit the road?
-Are we done? -Let's go.
Fuckin' over me. I mean... Third time rejected.
I can't take this anymore.
[Yannick] Are you good?
-[Belinda] Oh, you want to hold hands?
Like your girlfriend? -I don't do it.
[Belinda laughs]
-[Belinda] [narrating] Sometimes,
first dates are horrible.
So, yeah, I'm feeling good.
I'm feeling giddy. I'm definitely feeling giddy.
Right, well, I don't know. Hopefully, I'll see you soon.
OK, see you soon.
-Goodnight. -Goodnight. [laughs]
Goodbye.
-[Yannick] [narrating] I had a really great night.
It just felt really nice to be myself.
If that was the first date in the normal world,
I think we'd probably be having a late night.
-[Narrator] In Surrey Hills,
Kyle is waiting to meet Melbourne hairdresser, Elena,
the woman he did not choose,
due to his insecurity that she's out of his league.
-[Kyle] If I'm going on a night out,
I'm not the most confident person.
I think it goes back
to being, like, that little chubby kid in school.
Elena is great.
She seems like a fun chick.
Like, she's definitely confident, outgoing.
You kind of see those girls when you go out,
and you're like,
you wouldn't necessarily approach them,
because you kind of know, straight away,
that, like, you're going to get rejected.
Even though Leesh and I are just kicking goals every day,
I still have that fear of rejection.
I'm getting the vibe that Elena
is going to be more confident than me.
Maybe, even, like, intimidating.
How you going? -Hi.
I'm Elena.
-Kyle. -Lovely to meet you, Kyle.
How are you going?
-Good, how are you? -I'm good. How are you feeling?
Yeah, excited.
-You excited?
-Yeah, how about you? -Yeah, I'm nervous.
But I'm excited.
Oh, I definitely think she's attractive, yeah.
Don't get me wrong.
But, obviously, the whole time,
you've got Leesh in the back of your head. So...
Um, yeah, definitely think she's attractive.
But, yeah, like I said, um, I definitely find...
um...
that I'm committed to Leesh.
Yeah, you ready to get something to eat?
Yeah, I definitely...
I definitely... Definitely need a drink.
-You need a drink? - Yeah, I--
I feel like you need a drink. Shall we go?
-[Kyle] [narrating] You go to a bar at home
and girls look similar to Elena, and you're like,
"I'm not going to even bother
because I'll most likely get rejected.
-[Elena] Oh, thank you.
Cute.
-[Kyle] [narrating] I never put myself in that position
to, like, even go up to a girl like that.
-It's nice and warm. -I know. It's great.
Do you feel warm here?
-Yes, yes. -Good.
The Townsville boy feels warm.
[laughs] -Yeah?
-[Kyle] [narrating] I'd like think
I'm not awkward or nervous, but, um...
-[Elena] Going to take the jacket off.
But yeah, nah, I'm used to this weather.
-Really? -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I think she's gorgeous. She's very pretty.
-[Elena] Do you wanna do a shot?
To a good night. Oh, my god.
That was easy. -Don't say that.
[both laughing]
Um, OK, that's going to...
Yeah, cool.
Have you calmed your nerves down?
-Oh, I'm good. Yeah. -Yeah.
I feel like you were a little bit nervous
when I rocked up. -I was cold.
But, um, nah, I'm pretty chill.
Yeah, that's good.
I know. So, here we are.
How's the last couple of weeks been for you?
Very, um, full on.
-[Elena] Yeah? -[Kyle] Yeah.
Are you going OK?
-Yeah, yeah. -OK, good.
So, I feel like,
I probably should be honest with you from the get-go.
Um, because I have,
obviously my other partner and I have become very close.
-Did you say "my other partner"? -My other match.
[both chuckling]
Going off our chat conversation,
do you think that, like, this is what I would look like?
Like, I did think you'd be fair, but...
-Yeah. -Um...
I don't know, I thought more, like, surfy.
-Really? -I don't know.
You probably thought you were talking to a ten,
then you got here and you were like, "Fucking five".
-No! No. Oh, my God. -[laughs]
In your evaluation, what do you think of me?
Like, am I generally someone
that you would go for in Melbourne?
If you did have a dating app
and you had to have the choice of swiping left or right,
right being 'Yes', left being 'No'...
and you'd seen me.
What kind of pose are you doing?
[both laughing]
Come on. I'm just smiling.
-Smiling? -Yeah.
Look, I'm going to be honest...
Karl is... Kyle.
Kyle. I called him 'Karl'.
[laughs]
Kyle...
[laughs]
Kyle is, um...
He, like...
I'm not saying he's not my type.
I'll be honest. -Yeah, be honest.
Um...
I love what you're wearing, love the shirt,
love the blazer,
but I think, you know, you're actually quite sweet.
You're easy on the eye, sweetheart.
-There we go. -Yeah, easy on the eyes.
[Kyle chuckles]
Well, should we have a cheers,
to everything that happens, happens for a reason?
Happens for a reason and to a real good experience.
-Great experience. -I've enjoyed tonight.
And I've more than enjoyed tonight.
Good. OK, cheers to that.
So, look, I had a fun night.
I met a great girl, and, um...
My thoughts haven't changed.
-Alright. -Home time.
Home time.
If I was to turn back time,
like, I would still choose Leesh.
I think tonight was a step forward
for Leesh and I.
-[Elena] Good to see you. Speak to you later.
I'll speak to you later.
-[Elena] Good luck with everything.
-[Kyle] Thank you. -[Elena] Thanks.
-[Elena] Bye. -[Kyle] See you later.
I think he's really sweet.
Maybe too sweet for me.
[chuckles]
-[Kyle] Hey. -[Leesh] Hey.
How was it?
What are you doing?
Just waiting for a mate.
[Kyle laughs]
How you going?
-[Leesh] Good.
[kissing]
Well, that's a good sign.
[chuckles] What do you mean?
How was it?
It was good.
Um, yeah, she was attractive.
She was, um, outgoing.
And she was, like, honestly, like,
on a different level.
Like, she was amazing to talk to.
[both laughing]
But, uh, she wasn't you.
[Leesh moans]
-[Leesh] That's really sweet.
-[Erika] Yan is on his date tonight.
I mean, it's not a big deal. Honestly. It really isn't.
Like, I'm not bothered by it, jealous.
[rattling and clattering]
I'm eager to see what is going to happen.
[Yannick sighs]
But I'm not threatened.
Hello. How are you?
-[Yannick] How was your night?
-[Erika] Uneventful.
-[Yannick] Pardon?
-I said, "Uneventful". -Uneventful.
Just chilling.
How was your night?
My night was... It was fun.
OK.
It was just nice vibes.
It was actually really nice, to just, I feel like...
To be myself and, like,
having that flirtatious side back to me.
-[Erika] So, she liked you, you think?
-[Yannick] Yeah, she definitely was, like,
very complimentary of, like, what I looked like.
Um...
Yeah, it was nice. It was a nice night.
You're not saying anything, Yan.
You're like... -What?
"Yeah, it was nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah".
Say things.
OK, what else am I meant to say?
Everything.
OK. Well, yeah, I had a lot of fun.
It was flirtatious, there was banter.
One thing that came out, which I was kind of surprised
that she didn't tell me
when we were texting on the phone,
was that she'd been married before
and she has a 2.5-year-old daughter.
Yeah.
-And she didn't tell you that? -No, she didn't tell me that.
Is that an issue for you, like, in reality?
Obviously, it's not ideal, like, you know, if I'm being real.
Like, it's not something...
Did you prefer someone that's...
Well, I think, like...
it's obviously something that I want.
I want a family and all those types of things.
And, you know...
So, obviously, ideally, you don't inherit a family,
you build one of your own.
So, it's not the most ideal situation,
but as I said, it's still the first date.
Like, you know, it was fun. It was a nice night.
Yeah. Yeah.
Cool.
-[Narrator] Though she admitted
she'd swipe right on podcaster, Patrick...
Lisa.
-Hi. -Hello.
Patrick?
-[Lisa] [narrating] Not my usual type.
But, I'm putting that aside.
That's not what I'm here for.
I'm here for a deeper connection.
-[Narrator] ..Lisa has discovered the deep connection,
both emotionally...
Like, I haven't been as happy as I've been
for the past ten years of my life.
-[Narrator] ..and physically with her new man.
That tantric stuff... Woo! Take notes, guys.
[laughs]
-[Narrator] But tonight's date with railway worker, Matt,
will ask her to consider an alternative option.
Hi.
How you doing?
Hello.
Hello. You look stunning.
-[Lisa] Thank you.
What is running through my head right now?
Um, guilt.
Conflicted.
Um...
The unknown of what's to happen on this date with Matt.
Will we click?
Will I find him really attractive?
How are you feeling?
I'm conflicted.
Obviously, I feel guilty dating two guys now
at the same time.
It's not in my nature.
I'm a very loyal person,
I stick to one person once I feel something with them.
But I think I need to break that pattern,
because, like, my best mates tell me all the time...
You know, you're not exclusive
until you have that conversation.
So, you're still entitled to date around.
You don't owe anything to anyone else
until you have some kind of relationship status.
Going into this date with Matt,
I guess it's a kick up Pat's butt,
to be like, "You need to get, you know, your shit together".
We need to progress as a couple, moving forward.
And, um, going on this date with Matt
could potentially fast-track Patrick and I
to where I want to go, which is to be committed.
If you really want someone to be in your life,
to be your one and only,
to have a monogamous relationship,
you have to have that chat about being exclusive,
and we still haven't had that chat.
Do you want a monogamous relationship?
I do want a monogamous relationship.
-[Lisa] Mm-hm. - Of course I do.
Do you want to be exclusive.
I'm working on trying--
See, it's either a...
This is from my point to the beginning...
It's either a "hell yes", or a "hell no".
I'm working on trying to be exclusive with you.
-[Lisa] Mm-hm.
-[Lisa] What the fuck is holding you back?
Feeling pressure that it has to happen right now.
I chose Patrick over Matt
because I felt there was such an incredible connection
and chemistry.
I do see a future with Pat.
My cards are all out on the table.
But, like, I don't know, I just feel I'm all in,
and he's not.
For all I know,
Pat might walk out the door in a week's time.
Well, sorry I look fabulous for this date,
but, I'm going to have to love you and leave you.
[Patrick sighs]
[kiss]
You have a good day.
That could be the kiss of death.
Could be.
Or the kiss of prosperity.
-[Lisa] Mm-hm.
Bye.
[footsteps moving away]
[sighs]
I feel like I'm in a love triangle right now.
Yeah.
I'll approach this date with an...
you know, an open mind.
I'm not closing any chapter to my journey
of this experience.
It's not over. So...
I'm open to everything
because I said I was going to go balls deep
into this experience, and that's what I'm going to do.
I think Matt will be very true blue Aussie. [laughs]
With an Aussie accent.
I just have this picture
that he'll have blonde hair and blue eyes.
Yeah.
And that he probably
has a smile that lights up the room.
Any guy that I sort of see, you know,
in terms of having blonde hair and blue eyes,
I sort of get weak at the knees.
-[Matt] Lisa?
Hi.
-Matt? -Matt.
Nice to... Oh, you're going in for a handshake.
How are you?
Well, I wasn't sure, you know.
We've only just met for the first time, now.
-That's alright. -How are you?
I'm good. You?
Ah, good.
[Lisa chuckles]
Yeah, well...
He's my type.
Blonde hair, blues eyes, very attractive.
What is planned?
I'm thinking we'll sit down and have a few drinks.
Sure, I'm down for that.
-Yeah? -Yeah. Absolutely.
-[Matt] [narrating] Lisa's beautiful.
Great laugh.
Really beautiful eyes.
Like, obviously, the way she stands.
She's very, like, strong, confident.
Like, it's a very attractive quality.
So, it's nice to meet you.
-It's nice to meet you too. -Yeah.
Cool little second chance, I guess.
You got dimples.
-Do I? -Mm.
-Thank god. [chuckles] -Mm.
Yeah, I think they get hidden with my beard sometimes.
But then... -Mm.
..you make me laugh enough, I'll get them out.
[Lisa laughs]
Are dimples cute? I can't remember.
-Yeah, they're cute. -Yes!
Yeah, they're cute. Yeah.
So, how's your last two weeks been?
Really good. Really, really good.
Obviously, you know, I've picked...
-Yeah. - Another guy.
Um, and it's been an amazing journey so far.
That's good.
-Yeah, couldn't be happier. -Mm.
But obviously, this is a spanner thrown in the works.
Yeah, I did think that when they told me.
I was like, "God, I feel like
she's probably just getting to know someone
and I'm going to come and try to ruin it."
Yeah.
But I'm not here. I'm just here for you.
-Yeah -To get to know me.
Yeah, yeah.
Do you feel uncomfortable
with the idea that I've been seeing someone else?
I don't think it's any different to dating any other time
until you become exclusive to someone,
like, you could potentially be dating anyone.
What about... What's your sort of normal guy?
[laughs] Blonde hair, blue eyes.
White boy. [laughs]
Blonde hair... There you go.
Um, which is you right in front of me.
-Stop it. -Scary.
[tense music]
Right now,
my girl Lisa in on a date with...
[Lisa and Matt laughing]
-[Patrick] Some random guy from Melbourne, named Matt.
Some loser.
So, she's probably getting absolutely bored.
-[Producer] So what are some of the questions
you're going to be asking Lisa when she returns?
"Did you kiss him?"
My first question I'd ask Lisa would be,
"Did you kiss this guy?"
-[Producer] And if she says, "Yes"?
I won't be here to respond...
if she said, "Yes".
[dramatic music playing]
She knows my boundaries.
She knows what will make me just completely leave.
So, that's why I packed my bags.
Now, it's just a time bomb.
Do you have anything that you're passionate about?
I, um, love building cars.
-Yeah? -Yeah. That's cool.
That's like a passion I've had since I was really young.
Now, I like, sort of, classic cars.
What is your, um, ultimate muscle car?
Please don't tell me it's the same one as mine,
because I will die.
My dream car for right now is the car I have.
-It's bright purple... -Mm-hm.
..1967 Ford Fairlane.
Nice.
I have this obsession with 1967.
I don't know where it came from. -Yes.
No, I feel that.
I think my favourite car is the 1967
Ford cherry red Mustang Convertible.
Oh, yeah! Classic.
-Mm-hm. -Absolute classic.
So, you like cars?
I love muscle cars.
Oh! See that is a massive thing
that I don't really talk about on dates.
Yeah, it's my vibe.
Oh, I don't understand. Woman of my heart.
-[Lisa laughs] -Where have you been?
[Matt laughs]
Yeah, sort of learnt everything I could on the farm
ripping cars apart.
My hands are frickin' huge.
You've got large phalange. Fingers.
Large phalanges.
Large phalanges fingers.
Yeah, these friends of mine that I use to have,
they nicknamed me, 'Dick Fingers'.
[laughter]
I love that. I'm gonna call you 'Dick Fingers' from now on.
[posh accent] Oh, Dick Fingers.
[laughing] Jesus.
-Yeah, that was... -Mm, you do have...
-Yeah, they're big. -Big fingers.
Mm. [laughs]
Daddy Dick Fingers.
Daddy Dick Fingers?!
-Daddy Dick Fingers. -Oh, God.
I need a number plate that says that.
Would you care if I called you 'Daddy' in the bedroom?
Would that freak you out? -Nah.
[laughter]
I don't think there's anything anyone could do
to freak me out in the bedroom.
-[Lisa] Mm. Interesting.
Is that something that happens to you?
Like, you feel like you freak people out in the bedroom
with what you like?
Nah.
If they don't like it freaky, then...
See you later. -Hit the door.
-Mm. -Yeah. Fair enough.
[laughing]
[chuckles]
Doesn't my smile say it all?
Matt is giving me everything I wanted
coming into this experience.
[laughter]
It's like you've thrown a spanner in the works.
But I'm here, I'm not dismissing anything.
I guess, going forward, like...
would you like to see me again?
[Lisa exhales]
I'll tell him everything.
I'm not scared to tell him how I feel.
I'll wear my heart on my sleeve,
which is what I've done throughout this experience,
and I'll do that again with him,
and be real, and raw, and honest.
Um, that's who I am.
Hi.
-[Patrick] Hello.
How are you doing?
What's this?
I'm paranoid.
-[Lisa] Mm? About?
Been holding this gem you gave me.
-[Lisa] Mm-hm.
I'm feeling a certain way.
-[Lisa] Mm?
But I don't want to make assumptions.
How was your date?
It was good.
What do you want to know?
Did you kiss him?
It's a yes or no.
Hell, no. I didn't kiss him.
[Patrick sighs]
Do you want to know why?
Why?
Because there's only one Patrick...
and I've fallen in love with him.
That's why.
Even if you're not on the same page...
-[Lisa] [whispering] Missed you.
Do you feel that...
you could potentially fall for me?
Yeah.
-And soon? -Yeah.
Then I'll be patient and respectful of that, too.
Like, I've said again,
I don't want my time to be wasted if... I'm all in.
And it's not reciprocated.
I've had more feelings and emotions
in the last two weeks
than I've had in the last year.
So, I'm figuring it out.
It's nice, it's painful, it's hard.
It's sharp.
It's pleasant.
Like, there's a lot to go with it.
But I know that, like, once I know, I will say it.
I'm not afraid to say anything.
[sighs] Oh, well, fuck, what a day.
So, you can unpack that suitcase of yours.
Just trust the process, babe. -Yeah.
I thought I was going to go.
I really did.
-You're cute. -You're fucking cute.
I feel very relieved right now.
[Patrick sighs]
I feel like this is the next chapter.
Like, I can't wake up tomorrow and have coffee with her,
and just...
Just continue being me and Lisa.
[doorbell rings]
-[Patrick] What the fuck is this?
-[Lisa] Who is that?
This is weird.
[knocking at door]
-[Matt] Hello.
Oh, get the fuck out of here! -[Matt laughs]
-[Lisa] Oh, my...
-[Matt] Yep. [laughs]
-[Patrick] Bye.
What the fuck joke is this?
-[Lisa] [laughs] Oh, my god.
-[Narrator] Next time...
-Hello. -[Daniel] Hello, hello.
-[Elena] I'm just going to walk in.
-[Bec] I'm coming to live with you guys.
-[Danny] Hey.
What the heck?!
-[Narrator] The Love Triangle twist...
No hard feelings. [laughs]
Turns its final screw...
-[Ben] What are you here for?
-[Narrator] When two become...
-Yeah, right. -Three.
-Sure, have my man. -Yeah.
-I don't think so.
What the actual fuck?
-This is my house. -It's my house now, too.
Got to risk it to get the biscuit.
-[Patrick] Yes, he's the enemy
and yes, he'll be treated like one.
Oh, I'm not going to lie, this is turning me on.
[Matt laughing]
