00:00How's it going?
00:02Previously
00:04Hello
00:06Jesus
00:08Six pickers chose to move in with the first of their two love matches
00:10Fantastic
00:12Oh my god look at this kitchen
00:14Cheers to us
00:16Cheers babe
00:18Thanks darling
00:20The couple spent time getting used to life together
00:22Did you dream about me?
00:24Well what's the point in dreaming about you when I've got you next to me in bed
00:26That's a good point
00:28I don't feel the sexual chemistry
00:30I don't have that spark in that way
00:32We've connected today
00:34And it's definitely a step in the right direction
00:36Whilst love looked on the cards for some
00:38I think the winner has got to kiss the loser
00:40Ah that was smooth
00:42Others struggle to connect
00:44What was that?
00:46Fantastic
00:48You look nice
00:50Nice?
00:52I thought you would say you look like your sister
00:54God
00:56I feel like he likes me a bit more than I like him
00:58And as all the couples got together at their first dinner party
01:00A bombshell text left the pickers with an agonising dilemma
01:02My decision is I'm going to stick
01:04Stick with their current match
01:06We take it slow and see where it goes
01:08Or twist and meet their second choice early
01:10I'm going to twist
01:12Twist
01:14I think you'd be silly not to get to know and meet the other couple
01:16I'm going to twist
01:18Twist
01:20Twist
01:22Twist
01:24I think you'd be silly not to get to know and meet the other couple
01:26I'm going to twist
01:28Twist
01:30Twist
01:32Twist
01:34Twist
01:36Twist
01:38Twist
01:40Twist
01:42Twist
01:44Twist
01:46Twist
01:48Twist
01:50Twist
01:52decided to twist and meet their second choice early,
01:55including Barba Danny.
01:57I love you so much as a person.
01:59You've got to do you.
02:01I feel like I'm going to meet Sadie.
02:04Because of the way that you are, you're so oblivious to, like,
02:06the stuff that comes out of your mouth.
02:09When the text comes through, straight away, just switch.
02:14What do you mean?
02:15Are you genuinely this surface level?
02:18Have you at one point said,
02:21are you all right?
02:24Is he horrendous?
02:27Are you all right? No, f*** off.
02:31I've spent the last four days, right,
02:34literally being there for you.
02:37I've done the same with you.
02:38Have you f***ing done it?
02:39Whatever.
02:40I think Danny knew exactly that if it came to it,
02:44and Danny had the option to switch out,
02:46like, he absolutely would.
02:48But he knows how much he means to me.
02:51So to play on my emotions like that, it's not fair.
02:54It's not a game.
02:56Oh, is that what you think?
02:58Yeah, it is.
02:58I've never heard you say a nice thing about me.
03:01If that's the main thing that upsets you,
03:04I'm going to say it.
03:05Own your own s***.
03:07I'm not even going to argue with you.
03:08It's your s***.
03:09It's all right.
03:17Oh, my God, it's actually cracked in the middle.
03:21Alex got very emotional when Ryan chose
03:23to meet the other potential partner.
03:26There's something deeper going on behind closed doors.
03:29Yeah.
03:30Yolanda and Luke were the ones that I would have actually said
03:33were really well suited.
03:34Yeah, maybe if he stepped up a little bit more,
03:36being a bit more assertive.
03:37Yeah.
03:38I think it's a good thing that he's got a bit more
03:40of a sense of what's going on behind closed doors.
03:42Yeah.
03:43I think it's a good thing that he's got a bit more
03:45of a sense of what's going on behind closed doors.
03:47Yeah.
03:48Being a bit more assertive, then something could sort of,
03:50you know, could blossom there.
03:52I was shocked when Danny chose to switch.
03:55The fact that it upset Lois so much,
03:58to me, it kind of comes across like she's not being
04:01quite truthful in her feelings towards him.
04:16Who were you going to talk about last night?
04:21Um, yeah.
04:25Maybe I might have been insensitive,
04:28because she might have been upset.
04:30But I didn't read any signals.
04:33I thought she said, do what you think.
04:36Like, she thought she was giving me good advice.
04:38I was like, she's a buddy.
04:40I thought she said, do what you think.
04:43She's a buddy.
04:46I just feel that we're having such a good night.
04:50I thought I've created a good friend.
04:53When the text comes through, you straight away just switch.
05:01I've just thought you were buzzing for me.
05:03Well, it's not my decision to make.
05:07You know, I know it's only been three days.
05:09But obviously, it's an intense process.
05:11You feel like you have been here longer.
05:13And I just thought I deserved a bit more respect.
05:22I am sorry.
05:24What's done is done.
05:26There's no friendship there for me.
05:30It's just a bit of a shock to me that you feel that way.
05:32You're like two different people.
05:42Shannon, where you at?
05:45I'm here.
05:47Coming up.
05:49We all got a massive bombshell dropped on us,
05:52inviting our other suitor to come and meet us.
05:56So at the start of the night, obviously,
05:58I just went into it thinking, like,
06:00we didn't have any sexual chemistry.
06:02But next thing you know, we're having this blazing row.
06:04And I think at some point, we end up having a cheeky kiss.
06:08It was like a 360.
06:10We take it slow and see where it goes.
06:12I'm glad that I stuck with James because it worked.
06:16And it actually, in a weird way, has brought us closer.
06:20And now I'm starting to see that fire.
06:22What have you done?
06:24Oh, my God, you did all this?
06:26Do you like it?
06:28I love it.
06:32Everyone got a text message from their other suitor.
06:35Everyone got a text message from their other suitor
06:38to try and tempt them away.
06:40But she stuck with me.
06:42And that speaks volumes to me.
06:44So I'm going to carry on investing in this
06:46and see where it can go.
06:48Let's get this off.
06:50Cast your eyes to the aesthetics over there, not over here.
06:53Everything on this tray represents something with yourself or me.
06:58Tomatoes. They're kind of a reddy orange.
07:01I know orange is a colour that you love.
07:03It's my favourite colour.
07:05There's pepper there, which represents the spice and the passion and strength.
07:10And from your past, you have been one of the most passionate,
07:13strong people I've ever met, and I'm overwhelmed by it.
07:16So I just think that really represents who you are
07:19and what you represent to the world, really.
07:23I feel like I'm lost for words.
07:26This is, like, the silliest thing anyone has ever done for me.
07:31Moving forward on this tray, we have the cheese.
07:35It represents your blonde wig, and I really like a blonde.
07:39That. Clearly, it shows a smiley face.
07:42Now, I know you do like a bit of meat, don't you, Shannon?
07:49Now, those fig balls represent my current blue balls
07:52in this situation that we're in.
07:56I'm a snail in the relationship.
07:58He wants to move things very, very fast-paced,
08:01but I'm a snail, so I want to take things slow.
08:05I've got an activity for us.
08:07And I think it's going to help us get to know each other.
08:10I know we know each other a lot,
08:12but this is going to kind of hit the next level for us, I think.
08:15So, let's shuffle these, and you can pick.
08:22Night in or night out?
08:24A few years ago, Shannon, I would have said night out all the way,
08:27but now, experiencing this with you today,
08:30it would still be night out.
08:32No, it's night in, obviously. It's night in.
08:35Ice cream or cake?
08:37Ice cream.
08:38I like all sorts of whipped cream all over you.
08:42What has gotten into you tonight?
08:48I think Shannon, at the end of the day,
08:50lapped it up and loved it, to be honest.
08:53I felt the energy there. There was a vibe in the air that said that.
08:56And I think that it kind of inspired a little bit of passion between us,
09:00which is what the doctor ordered, I guess.
09:02We'll see when it happens, but I'm looking forward to when it does.
09:06I thought tonight's gesture from James was so romantic and lovely,
09:10and it just sums him up as a person.
09:12He's just so wholesome.
09:14I want to give him a chance, cos he deserves it.
09:16I really do, cos he's a great guy.
09:19It's hard, because I am getting stronger feelings for him.
09:24But I still don't know where they're going to lead.
09:34I got you some cake.
09:36Oh, that's lovely.
09:37Did you taste test it first to make sure it was not poisoned?
09:40Yeah, we have to share.
09:41Oh, absolute dream. Where's your spoon?
09:43Are you just going to use your...? Ah, I thought you were going to use your hand.
09:47Yeah.
09:48Nice?
09:49It is cake-tacular.
09:52I absolutely do. Much better than Nottingham Forest.
09:57Not as good as Chelsea, though.
09:59That was a... It was a smooth one.
10:03So when I raise the toast and obviously profess my falling for Chelsea,
10:08there's no regret for me.
10:11Previous relationships have said that I can be a little bit too intent,
10:15but she is quite a special lady,
10:17and I do want to make that quite clear,
10:19that there is a reason why I've fallen for her.
10:21What would you say the plan is for tonight, then?
10:23Netflix night. Netflix, no chill.
10:25Netflix, no chill. Ooh, Netflix, no chill. I like it.
10:28That's what I do with all the women.
10:31Last night, when he was quite, like, vocal that I was the best in the world
10:35and that he'd fallen for me, it kind of put me on the spot a little bit.
10:38And then this morning, there was chocolate at my door,
10:41he'd filled the fridge with, like, strawberries and raspberries,
10:44and he handed me his phone and he had, like, wrote a poem in his notes
10:48that was, like, seven paragraphs long.
10:52He put, like, all his feelings into it.
10:54It was 101 reasons of why he thinks we should make this work.
10:59And I was like, this is really awkward.
11:03Just a little bit, a little bit much.
11:07I do think he's so sweet and he's amazing,
11:09but I just think I need a little bit more time to kind of judge where my own head's at.
11:12We'll see where things go today.
11:14Laura to help me.
11:16I don't think even...
11:18I don't think even he could have me, right?
11:20Damn it, you stole my line.
11:32With Lois, it's like we're not bringing the best out of each other.
11:36But I just want somebody that I can connect with
11:39and I'm hoping that Sadie could be it.
11:42Danny chose to match with Lois first,
11:44due to them both being family-orientated.
11:47But as they fail to find a romantic spark,
11:51Danny is hoping his second shot at love with Sadie will be the one.
11:56I'm hoping I got Sadie wrong, because off her messages,
11:59I thought we've got nothing in common.
12:01But then my mum said she's not into, like, motorsport and mechanics
12:05and the Discovery Channel, and she loves my dad.
12:08So opposites may attract.
12:16I feel like I'm going into this, like, a lot more open than I did the first time.
12:20My expectations are lower, but I think that's a good thing.
12:23Yeah, I'm hoping that she could be it.
12:27Hey. Hey, how's it going?
12:29Are you good? Nice to meet you, I'm Sadie.
12:31I'm Danny. Nice to meet you. Take a seat.
12:34I like your tattoos. You've got tattoos too?
12:37Yeah. What have you got?
12:39Mine are more, like, you know, fine line, like, scattered.
12:41Yeah, fine line tattoos. Yeah, mine are, yeah, intense.
12:44Are they, like, everywhere? Like, even on your legs and everything?
12:47Everywhere. What about, like, on your bum?
12:49Apart from my bum and somewhere else. OK.
12:51Yeah, they're tattoo-free. OK.
12:55Wow, was I wrong.
12:57She exceeds all expectations.
13:00With your texting, you are not what I imagined. Really?
13:05I pictured, like, a cat lady. Oh, kind of.
13:08Do you know what, to be fair, I do put things, like,
13:11I say certain things because I kind of want to suss out a guy.
13:15A lot of guys, they don't like cats.
13:17I just want to see how they react to it. Lisa was honest. You were?
13:20So I reckon, before this experience, you say,
13:22look, do I like cats? I said, like them, I love them.
13:25But, yeah. So this is, like, a learning curve for you
13:28to not judge people straight away.
13:30Are you happy now that I'm here?
13:33Yes. Yeah? OK, good.
13:36He's definitely, like, funny.
13:39He's just got a good vibe, like, positive, upbeat energy.
13:43Like, yeah, like, I'm into it.
13:45Like, why are you here? Obviously, you're absolutely stunning.
13:48You've got a beautiful smile.
13:50I work in quite female-dominated industries,
13:52so, like, I'm just never around guys.
13:54And then the ones I meet on dating apps are, like, weird, so...
13:58I'm exactly the same.
14:00I just do men. Their hair. OK.
14:04So I told my mum. I told my mum all about it.
14:06Are you close with your mum? Very close.
14:08Oh, same. Not your mum.
14:10I'm like, how do you know my mum?
14:14I feel like we have good back-and-forth banter
14:18and definitely a little bit of chemistry.
14:20Yeah, I feel really excited to, yeah, spend more time with him,
14:23get to know him more.
14:25The differences between Lois and Sadie are, like, night and day.
14:28Pleasure.
14:30I made the right decision meeting Sadie early
14:32and I wish that I met Sadie first.
14:36I just felt a warmth about Sadie.
14:39So I am really happy, but, well, I feel apprehensive to come home.
14:46The fact that I've been on a date with someone
14:49where I can see potential straightaway,
14:51I feel it would upset Lois.
14:59MUSIC PLAYS
15:05How are you?
15:09Erm, a bit hungover.
15:13Ryan said to me last night that he was switching.
15:17I got emotional this morning. I feel angry.
15:20So he needs to fucking explain it to me.
15:22Like, I think it was fucked up.
15:24The reason why I got upset is because I put my heart into this
15:27and I really have and I just feel like I've been walked all over.
15:31Why did you do that, Ryan?
15:33Selfishly, I do have to put myself first in this experiment
15:37and the spark isn't there.
15:43I'm really upset.
15:45Oh, my God, don't.
15:47I genuinely am so sorry.
15:50It's what happens when you get feelings and I feel fucking miserable.
15:54We snogged three times, maybe four.
15:56Ryan's made the move.
15:58So I do regret kissing him a little bit
16:00cos then, automatically, you think that someone likes you.
16:05Maybe gave you mixed signals, once I'm kissing you,
16:08then I'm off with you the next day. Come on.
16:10But I'm owning what I have done and I am sincerely apologetic.
16:15I just feel you have taken a bit of advantage of me.
16:19Will you please not walk away from me, please?
16:27I feel like a piece of shit.
16:30I genuinely do.
16:32I don't think Ryan realised that I was properly upset
16:35until he got the bollock in,
16:37until he heard actually how I truly felt
16:39and I just don't think he could handle it.
16:41It ended in a fight.
16:43I don't think he could handle it.
16:45I don't think he could handle it.
16:47At the end of the day, he's not a child.
16:49He's a man of his own.
16:51Maybe start acting like one and grow up.
17:05I think I'm going to go to the gym.
17:07I'm just going to stay there and read a book.
17:09When given the choice to stick with their current match...
17:12I've read the same page three times
17:14because you keep talking to me.
17:16..or meet their other option early,
17:18four of the six pickers chose to twist.
17:21You can read while I go to the gym. I will.
17:23Until then, I'm going to chew your ear off about nothing.
17:31The first single to have met both of his matches in person...
17:34After such a good night, I've come home and I'm...
17:37Yeah, I'm pretty scared, nervous, apprehensive to tell Lois.
17:41..is 35-year-old barber Danny.
17:44In the real world, you don't come home and tell your ex-girlfriend
17:47how her date went.
17:48Yeah, I think it's tough.
17:54How was your date?
17:56Yeah, it went good.
17:58Yeah? She was nice.
18:00What kind of hair did she have?
18:02Dark hair.
18:04And, yeah, she was...
18:06Yeah, good.
18:07Do you like her?
18:08Yeah, it was a good date.
18:11Ideal.
18:15So, like, I know we've not been getting on and stuff,
18:17like, just how did you feel, like, when I went on the date?
18:21Do you want my honest opinion?
18:24Yeah.
18:26I felt relieved.
18:28I've just felt like I've had to really dampen myself down
18:32to support you with stuff, which is fine.
18:34I do that anyway for friends and family.
18:36I don't think you've supported me. I feel like you've made...
18:38Are you going to let me talk?
18:40This is the first time I've ever tried to actually get my point across.
18:44That's all I do, is listen to you.
18:46All you do is talk.
18:48Wow.
18:50Do you know what? I'm not fucking doing this.
18:53After everything you did the other night,
18:55you're a fucking absolute wanker.
18:57Fuck right off.
19:04Where does this leave you and Danny?
19:08Danny who?
19:17Have you played crazy golf before?
19:19Well, I'm crazy and I've done a bit of golf in my time,
19:21so that adds up, right?
19:23I've got literally cat-like reflexes. I'm not even kidding.
19:26I'm feeling absolutely excited for this one today.
19:29This is a good chance to really let loose
19:31and give us an opening to progress forward with each other.
19:35Smooth.
19:37Tell you what, I'm a gentleman, ladies first.
19:39No, you're going to always need an extra little whack compared to me.
19:42That's what she said.
19:44Goodness me, not the time or the place, love.
19:50Right.
19:51Left.
19:53OK.
19:55You're like golfer style.
19:57Have you ever actually played golf, like real golf?
19:59I'm not much of a golfer, but I'm bloody good at foreplay.
20:03Quit the inappropriate jokes, please.
20:06The whole energy has kind of changed today.
20:09He has been making consistent innuendos,
20:12really, really inappropriate jokes.
20:14I think, for me, it was quite off-putting.
20:17This Asa is not the Asa that I met on day one.
20:20You were going to give me the pink ball then, weren't you?
20:22No, mine's the blue balls.
20:24Right, next one.
20:26I feel like the more into this experience we're getting,
20:29the more I feel quite tense.
20:31Everything's pointing towards the red flag.
20:34And, like, I will have to have a conversation about it.
20:41I mean, that was OK. We're quite close together.
20:44This is, like, foreshadowing our relationship, you know?
20:47I feel like we've made leaps and bounds today.
20:49I 100% do strongly believe, definitely now, that Chelsea likes me,
20:53just as much as I like her, hopefully.
20:56Aw!
21:00See you later.
21:01Go and get them, Tiger.
21:03Next to meet her second choice is 27-year-old marketing manager, Khloé.
21:08Right, you've got this. Yes.
21:10Don't be nervous. Don't judge him straight away.
21:13I kind of swayed her into the option of meeting the other bloke.
21:16Whether she's taken that on board and actually understood that,
21:19I'm not sure.
21:21See you.
21:23There's no chance of me and her happening.
21:26I don't actually know if Aaron is as happy as he makes out to be.
21:31Things that Aaron has done and said,
21:33this made me think that he hasn't closed things off.
21:37But I'm hoping with this date with Cain,
21:40it might become more apparent that he is quite jealous
21:44and he maybe feels a bit put out.
21:46But I will find out later on.
21:48Khloé initially picked Aaron
21:50as the fun, confident sort she's normally drawn to.
21:53She rejected Cain, despite him being the caring, down-to-earth type
21:58she felt she should actually be with.
22:04I think me and Aaron's first date was a bit rocky.
22:08I called him a red flag within the first two minutes
22:11and then we lived in a house together.
22:13So I'm hoping for a nice positive experience this time.
22:16Put it that way.
22:19Hello. Hello.
22:21Nice to meet you. Thank you.
22:23Thank you so much.
22:25No-one really buys me flowers, so that's nice.
22:28Oh, that's a tradition.
22:30It is a tradition, but not, like, men these days.
22:33So where are you actually from? Do you want to have a guess?
22:36I'm not very good with accents.
22:38Can you not tell where I'm from?
22:44Wales? Oh, my God, yeah.
22:47How could he not tell?
22:49Am I happy? Right now, no.
22:52Cain isn't my normal type.
22:54I did have that suspicion when we were texting
22:58because I was back and forth about,
23:01is he better in person rather than over message?
23:04Any dark secrets?
23:06Go on, give me some examples of what would be dark in your eyes.
23:10I don't know, I just said it as a joke.
23:13What do I need to know?
23:15I've got no criminal record or anything like that. Great.
23:21Cain's confidence isn't as much as Aaron's,
23:24and I was kind of wanting a bit more band than me and Aaron have.
23:30My other match, he's very much like me.
23:33He's, like, quite sound, he's mellow.
23:35But, yeah, I mean, it's fun.
23:38Is he a bit of a gym bunny?
23:40Yeah, pretty much.
23:42I've got a dad's bod and I hate the gym,
23:44so I play rugby in the spare time.
23:47My other match likes rugby.
23:49He used to play rugby.
23:51Probably better than me, though.
23:56I think there was chemistry there, definitely.
23:58There's an attraction there for me and her, soundly-wise.
24:03You know, she likes to give my son a good little drink and a giggle,
24:08and she likes a bit of banter, so...
24:10Yeah, I think we're very similar in that way.
24:15What do you do in your spare time?
24:17Just being, like, at home, like, home campsites,
24:19just doing my own little thing.
24:21A bit of knitting?
24:22No, not a bit of me.
24:24Couldn't do any of that, no?
24:25God, no. I wouldn't even try it.
24:27I like cooking, so it's all right.
24:29Great, cos it's the chef needed in the house.
24:32Oh, it's the chef? Do you not cook either?
24:34No. OK, I do like cooking.
24:36I can do, like, microwave meals.
24:38I can do toast in the morning.
24:41Tea and coffee.
24:42You're pushing it out here now.
24:43I know. Even beans on toast I can do, but...
24:45Well, I'll make sure you've got a decent English breakfast.
24:48OK. Every morning?
24:49Yes.
24:50Tick.
24:52I get to go home now and show off my new flowers.
24:54Are you going to? Are you going to rub them in his face?
24:56Yeah!
24:57Shall we go?
24:59Yeah, let's go.
25:00OK.
25:01It sounds really bad, but I think going on the date with Cain
25:05did kind of make me realise that Aaron is my type.
25:09I'd like to think my date with Cain kind of gave Aaron
25:12kind of, like, the kick up the arse he needed.
25:15Honey, I'm home!
25:17Come, sit down, tell me everything.
25:19But at the same time, I don't know how Aaron is feeling,
25:22so that's another conversation me and him are going to need to have.
25:26Oh, he got you flowers!
25:28You play!
25:30How's the connection between you two?
25:32Good.
25:33Yeah? Mm-hm.
25:35I'm really happy that you're happy.
25:37I feel like with Aaron, you don't get his full emotion.
25:41He kind of says what you think you want to hear.
25:45So I think me having a really positive date,
25:49he's kind of been like, oh, I'm really happy for you, but...
25:52It's just really hard to tell kind of, like,
25:54what he's thinking about the whole situation.
25:57The fact he brought you flowers is lovely.
25:59That's so fucking nice.
26:00I didn't think about that because I'm an idiot.
26:02Well...
26:03Generally, now I think about it, I'm like,
26:05what a stupid thing not to do. Yeah.
26:07I absolutely love the fact she had a great date.
26:09I was dreading her coming back and being upset.
26:11So, yeah, I'm over the moon.
26:13I'm going to go put my flowers in water.
26:17It's quite hard to judge how me and Chloe will be long-term.
26:22I'd like to say we'd be friends,
26:25but I'm kind of holding back how I really feel
26:30and want to communicate with her,
26:32because I just don't want to upset her.
26:34I just hope she gets what she's looking for.
26:36But that ain't me.
26:45The last two pickers that have opted to meet their second choices early
26:50are tanning business owner Ryan and Mel B impersonator Yolanda.
26:55I just don't really know how I feel right now.
26:57I really do love being with Yolanda
26:59and I've never connected with anyone so quickly.
27:01I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a part of me that I wish she'd...
27:04She chose to keep me. I'll have to see what happens.
27:08Even though choosing Swiss was hard,
27:11I'm doing this experience to find love.
27:15I do feel like he felt quite bad for what he did, for switching.
27:19I'm really in this for myself now,
27:21so who knows what the next few days can bring.
27:23There's no sexual chemistry with Alex.
27:26So, fingers crossed for David.
27:29I ain't got time to be messing around.
27:31I'm hoping to find the one.
27:35Just from the messages, I feel like Dominic seems to be a bit of an enigma.
27:39I'm excited to find out more.
27:43Yolanda initially chose Luke
27:45as she felt he might offer maturity and sensitivity.
27:49However, she is hoping that Dominic's confident energy will ignite a spark.
27:54I feel like he might be able to give me those little butterfly nerves
27:58that I've been kind of missing, potentially.
28:01In my head, Dominic is a very tall, mixed-race, all-black guy.
28:09Swag, smells nice, dresses nice.
28:13Comes in with that, a little bit of sauce, a little bit of spice.
28:17But we shall see.
28:20SHE SCREAMS
28:22Are you OK? Hi!
28:25What action is this? Are you OK?
28:27Are you up? Are you up? Where's yours from?
28:30I'm from London, I'm joking. London!
28:35You're so quirky!
28:37Quirky? Yeah!
28:39The words are meant to be gorgeous, aren't they? Gorgeous!
28:42There we go!
28:44He is the good-looking guy.
28:46Dominic's personality is definitely what I usually aim straight towards
28:51cos it's got that, like, kind of cockiness.
28:57This could be it. Signed, sealed, delivered.
28:59Then I'm getting married. Which finger? That finger. Next year!
29:03Ryan made Alex his first choice
29:05as he thought they had being the life and soul of the party in common.
29:09He rejected David for his very different set of interests.
29:13The name David, I mean, my dad's called David.
29:16I imagine an older guy, probably full of greys.
29:21He told me he loves pottery.
29:23I'll do that in a care home, not at 32.
29:27Not too sure on that, but I have to trust the process
29:30and hopefully I've found the one.
29:34Hello.
29:35Hi, you OK? I'm good, I'm David.
29:37I'm Ryan, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too.
29:40Oh, God, are you OK? Nervous.
29:42Thank God you fit.
29:46Oh, my God, he's tall, dark, handsome, fit.
29:51Like, yeah.
29:53I definitely made the right decision to twist.
29:58Shall we order? Let's do it.
30:00Hiya, love. Can I get you a drink?
30:03Can I get a double rum and apple juice, please?
30:05Ooh, OK. Spice rum.
30:07Have you ever had one? No.
30:09Make it two, you know, don't order.
30:11Trust me, make it two.
30:12When he started ordering for me, I thought,
30:14first of all, I can order for myself and I'm an adult,
30:17and secondly, I was like, who do you think you are?
30:20I'm a bit of a rebel, a bit of a rascal. Yeah.
30:23If you can handle me like this, this is good.
30:26But when I take it up a notch, I need to know you can handle it.
30:29Mm.
30:30By your reactions to what I think I've said, you can handle it.
30:33I like that.
30:35Oh, yeah, that makes sense. Thank you, mate.
30:37Thank you so much.
30:41Don't say anything yet, let it marinate.
30:43I actually like it. Yeah? You do? You do?
30:45Yeah, I actually do. I told you.
30:47You redeemed yourself.
30:52How long have you been single for?
30:54If you say, like, five years...
30:57It's not been five, it's been four. Four?
30:59Oh, great, that makes a difference. No, it's 2021.
31:012021? Yeah. OK, it's three years.
31:03Why?
31:04Because I had a terrible time in my past relationship for six years
31:08and I felt it's unfair to carry baggage into another relationship,
31:11so I had to heal my relationship with myself
31:13before I entered something else.
31:15That's a good answer.
31:17That's a very good answer.
31:19I can see it in your eyes. I bring out your wild side.
31:22I love Yolanda's feistiness, I love a sparring partner.
31:25That's what gets me going.
31:27If you give me my own way, it's not going to work.
31:29I want someone to bring out that lover girl
31:31that is buried inside of me, do you know what I mean?
31:36I know around 35 I want to start having kids.
31:39I've only got one brother.
31:41It's good, but there's only one of us.
31:43I kind of want to have, like, ten kids,
31:46because then when they have their kids,
31:48there's going to be, like, loads of us.
31:50I like that. Yeah.
31:52You know what, I can get behind that,
31:54because then there's only me and my little brother.
31:56You know what, I can get behind that,
31:58because then there's only me and my little sister as well.
32:01So we're very close, us two. Of course.
32:03And I feel like we, because of, like, family lives and stuff,
32:06we want to start our own little empire as well.
32:08You see what I mean? See? Yeah. We can do it together.
32:11My poor vagina. And kids.
32:13Do you think my vagina can handle that?
32:15There's only one way to find out.
32:21I've been trying to steer away from that almost borderline arrogance
32:25that Dominic sort of brings to the table,
32:27but I can't help how it makes me feel.
32:33Can I ask you a question? Ask away.
32:35What is this pottery?
32:37Oh! I just do random stuff.
32:39Do you do pottery as, like, a full... No, no, no.
32:41Well, do you know what, that's what put me off you.
32:43I'm sorry, it was the pottery.
32:45I was like, this guy's got to be in his late 50s.
32:48It's just something fun to do.
32:49I just go and paint the mug and then I leave.
32:51Get drunk while you're doing it. That's the main part of it.
32:53You didn't get the rest of the question.
32:55Oh!
32:57I can't believe I chose not to go on a date with the little fitty.
33:01I knocked him back because he said he loved pottery.
33:04I'm a pole dancer.
33:06A pole dancer? Yes.
33:08Like where? I teach it.
33:09Oh, not like a stripper?
33:10Not a stripper, no. I am in uni as well.
33:12Yeah. What is it you're doing at uni?
33:14Forensic psychology.
33:16Oh, my God, that is so intelligent.
33:19I like to pretend I am, but not often.
33:21You speak very well-spoken.
33:23That's probably my parents.
33:24I just speak like a chav, don't I?
33:26I love it, but I will mimic that accent at some point.
33:28I can't stop myself.
33:29It's one of those things where you hear an accent and you just do it.
33:31My accent? Any accent.
33:33Well, talk like me, then.
33:34Well, talk like me, then.
33:35Ha-ha-ha!
33:37He seems sweet, he seems nice.
33:39And, like, self-assured, which I'm kind of into.
33:41I feel like we'll get on quite well.
33:43What do you do?
33:44So, I work for a sales company, part-time,
33:48and then I also have my own tanning brand.
33:50Oh!
33:51So I sell, like, sunbed cream, sunbed gels, oils, stuff like that.
33:54I'm obsessed with sunbeds.
33:55No, I'm here for that.
33:56I should have had some before I got you.
33:58I'm a bit pale still.
33:59Wales doesn't give you the sun that you need.
34:01Yeah.
34:02Yeah.
34:03What do you see for us, then, in our future, after these dates?
34:06I'm probably going to go and pick the rings after this.
34:09Straight away?
34:10Yeah, do you want me to get down now and propose?
34:12I'm joking!
34:13My mum will be so happy!
34:15Look, it's not going to be nice for me to say to Alex,
34:18I actually do think David is more what I actually need.
34:21I just wish that I could have got a vibe from him, from David,
34:26as to whether he found me attractive or not.
34:29Here we go. I'm now in Alex's shoes.
34:33You land a look absolutely incredible today.
34:35It was a little bit annoying that Dominic did get to see that today
34:38and I was just sat at home doing absolute F-all.
34:43Hello!
34:44Hello!
34:45It's not a normal thing to do.
34:47You don't go on a date with one person and then come back to the other person.
34:51It's not a normal thing to do.
34:53You don't go on a date with one person and then come back to the other person.
34:56It's not a normal thing to do.
34:58It's not a normal thing to do.
35:00You don't go on a date with one person and then come back to the other person you're dating
35:03and go, by the way, I had a better connection with them than I did with you.
35:10Tell me all about it.
35:12It was interesting.
35:14So what does he do?
35:15He's a model and...
35:17Of course he is. So he's attractive, then?
35:19Yeah, I mean, like, attraction is subjective, so...
35:22How old?
35:2329.
35:24Similar age.
35:25The same age, actually.
35:28Did you have that initial spark?
35:30Was there a chemistry?
35:32I think spark-wise, potentially...
35:35Yeah.
35:36..there might kind of be, like, a little something-something.
35:41That pissed me off a little bit when Yolanda told me he was a model, 29.
35:45You know, he was ten years younger than me.
35:47Obviously a very good-looking boy.
35:49There was a little bit of envy.
35:58Yeah, I hope with Ryan and me,
36:00it felt like we maybe could have something going on,
36:03but I'm no second best to no bitch.
36:07Ryan's with David and just waiting to see how they get on, to be honest.
36:11I think I'm concerned about my own emotions again.
36:14That's probably the only thing I'm concerned about.
36:16I need to control that a little bit better.
36:19I'm dreading it.
36:20I just feel really, really, really shit for Alex.
36:23But I don't think realistically he's going to act arse
36:26because you just wouldn't want to.
36:28He's not going to act like he's actually affected
36:30by me getting on a good date with David.
36:32He's going to play it down realistically, isn't he?
36:38Yeah, I don't...
36:40Oh, I just feel a little bit awkward.
36:46I've had a good day without you being here.
36:52What does David look like?
36:54He's tall, he's got brown hair, he's got tattoos,
36:57he's about 6'1", 6'2".
37:00Good body, nice teeth, fit eyes.
37:04Talk about...
37:07Yeah, very. Yeah.
37:14There is something that I would want to explore there.
37:19I am still conscious of thinking, am I actually going to upset you?
37:23Do you know what I mean? You've already cried once.
37:25I don't want you to... I'm not going to cry again.
37:27No, I don't know that.
37:28I didn't know you was going to cry that time.
37:30Do you know what I mean?
37:31So I feel bad even speaking about this to you.
37:33Go and do your thing, friend.
37:36I think about myself. I mean, it's for dates, not mates.
37:40So I need to focus on David.
37:43And that's all that I'm thinking about at the moment.
37:46And I actually can't stop thinking about David now.
37:55Thank you, sir, for champions.
37:57I'll tell you what...
37:58I never usually have a knife for my Chinese.
38:00Do you not? No.
38:01I normally have a fork and a spoon.
38:03A spoon?
38:09At the minute, in terms of where my head's at,
38:12I think I can't force anything on myself.
38:15I can't force anything on myself.
38:17I can't force anything on myself.
38:19I can't force anything on myself.
38:21I think I can't force anything to be a romantic situation.
38:25I am in this situation, too,
38:27and I need to be honest about how I'm feeling.
38:30So one of your first messages to me was that
38:32your biggest red flag was dishonesty.
38:34Mm-hm.
38:35The poem this morning, yeah, for me,
38:37I'm not the kind of girl that's into that,
38:39but I did appreciate it.
38:40And I was like, you know, he has been vulnerable
38:42and he's put his all into it.
38:45Out of respect for you,
38:46I just feel like it's the fairest thing for me to be like,
38:49I just think it's more of a friendship.
38:55We've given 110%, and for me,
38:57there's nothing romantic here anymore.
39:01For me, I don't like to end things on a bad note,
39:03so I'm always like, you know,
39:05the friendship will always still be there.
39:07Absolutely, I feel gutted.
39:09Of course it really hurts.
39:11And I can't help but think,
39:13by saying she can be friends with me,
39:15was probably just a way of softening the blow a little bit.
39:18I just think, given, like, what we've done sexually,
39:21we can't be friends.
39:24What?
39:27Wow.
39:29You can't be intimate with someone,
39:32and then, in my opinion,
39:33and then some days later, you're then friends with them.
39:36It just doesn't make sense.
39:37One must not divulge the full picture,
39:40but there was a lot more to it than kissing, I will say.
39:44That's...
39:45absolutely off the wall comment.
39:48Oh, typical lad trying to pretend
39:50there's more to a story when there isn't.
39:53We had a little cuddle.
39:54Like, you know, I lay on his shoulder,
39:56but for me, I'm like,
39:57you've clearly never had sexual experiences before, love,
39:59because what on earth?
40:01What?
40:03I tried to be as sweet as I could about the situation.
40:07I feel like his way of dealing with rejection
40:09is so completely mind-blowing.
40:11I was just like, oh, says it all for me.
40:13It's so fucking rude.
40:15I think it's all over.
40:18It is. Now.
40:29Good morning. Morning.
40:31How did you sleep?
40:33Good. You?
40:35Horrendous.
40:36Good.
40:39Here we go.
40:40It was a lot, wasn't it, yesterday?
40:42Yeah.
40:43If I'm honest, it's made me want to up my game a little bit.
40:46I've got some competition now, you know.
40:48Really?
40:55I've got a message.
40:57Oh!
40:58Oh, my God.
40:59Ooh!
41:00Hang on.
41:01Tonight, you and your match are invited to a dinner party.
41:04This is your next social outing together,
41:06a chance to catch up with the other couples
41:08going through the same experience as you.
41:10Details to follow. Go and get ready to have fun.
41:13Oh, Lord, here we go again.
41:16I'm looking forward to tonight.
41:18I'm just going to go and enjoy myself, enjoy your company,
41:21mingle around and see what happens.
41:23Can't wait to rekindle that love again.
41:25No, it would be nice to be with people who've got a bit of banter.
41:34It would be nice just to go and for both of us
41:36just to try and have a good time.
41:38But separately.
41:44We've got each other's back, yeah?
41:47Oh, right.
41:57I'm so happy we're the first ones in here.
41:59This place is all right, isn't it?
42:01It's beautiful.
42:02The date night last night was lovely and thoughtful,
42:05but there is that big bit missing.
42:09I don't know.
42:10I don't know.
42:11My mind is just puzzled.
42:16Hey!
42:17Hello, everybody.
42:19Hello.
42:20You look amazing.
42:21Looking fresh, mate.
42:22Thank you, man.
42:25Hello, hello.
42:26Hi.
42:27Hello.
42:28Angel.
42:29How are you?
42:30You look amazing.
42:33So, yeah, I had a day dress today.
42:36OK.
42:37OK.
42:38We walked in, bought my flowers.
42:40Oh, it's not working.
42:41But because, like, I know he's, like, what I need.
42:46A new person.
42:47Yeah.
42:49It's been all good, like,
42:50cos now it's, like, the best of me now and I've got on as well.
42:53OK.
42:55Oh, this is a real, like, mindfuck.
42:57Oh, yeah.
43:00How are things with yourself at the moment?
43:02Best of them, really, yeah?
43:03Yeah, since we...
43:04Obviously, we didn't communicate about how we felt,
43:06but we shut ourselves away.
43:07So, since the last dinner, we've been decent.
43:09We've been, like, proper having a laugh.
43:11Like, the best we've ever been.
43:12Like, hand on heart,
43:13I can say there's no physical attention from me.
43:16There's no, like...
43:17I see you as a mate and that is it.
43:20How's things going?
43:21Things are going better, so we're in a stronger position.
43:24It was just the one thing that was lacking for me
43:26was the sexual chemistry.
43:28So we do have a form of sexual chemistry,
43:30but I can't see myself sleeping with him.
43:33Now, obviously, I don't need...
43:35Which is so OK.
43:36Which is so OK, but it's like, you know,
43:38I kind of need that spark to be there in the bedroom.
43:41Yeah. And there isn't.
43:44That's what I'm trying to wonder.
43:46Shannon felt I was being too nice,
43:47and she said seeing that bad boy side of me,
43:49actually, she liked it.
43:50Maybe you're being too nice.
43:52Usually, I'm not.
43:53I'm the archetype.
43:54She's bringing out the nice side of you.
43:56But she's bringing out the nice side of me,
43:57and I'm not used to this.
43:58I've actually met someone I quite like.
44:00She's got you deep, man.
44:01Yeah, a little bit.
44:02Yeah.
44:05Hello!
44:06Hello, are you all right?
44:07Yeah.
44:08Lovely to see you.
44:10The party has arrived!
44:15I went on a date with David,
44:16thick, thick, thick.
44:18Six foot three.
44:19He's a pole dancer.
44:26Aw, are you all right?
44:28Like, I went on a date, like, come on,
44:30and I was like...
44:32Excited to go home.
44:33But have you told him that?
44:35No.
44:36He's like, I should have got you flowers.
44:38See, this is what I mean.
44:40There is something,
44:41because he wouldn't have said that otherwise.
44:43He just doesn't want to be the first to say it.
44:44Trust me.
44:45Trust me.
44:46I've met them all.
44:49Buying flowers is quite, like, a special thought.
44:51If he was thinking about buying me flowers then,
44:55would a friend do that?
44:58Let's go!
44:59Where are we sitting?
45:00Where are we sitting?
45:03Oh, I'm opposite you.
45:04Trouble, trouble.
45:06I think there's a lot of awkwardness
45:08between all the couples,
45:09and we all like the gossip, don't we?
45:12Asa and Shannon,
45:13you both chose to stick,
45:15and I can see you two,
45:16are you holding hands under the table?
45:18No.
45:19No, you're lying.
45:20Oh, are you not?
45:21Ryan, you're lying.
45:22No, you're not.
45:23No, you're lying.
45:24No, you're lying.
45:25No, you're lying.
45:26You're lying.
45:28There's hope for us all.
45:30We're actually in such a stronger place,
45:32just now,
45:33than we've ever been.
45:37I do just think she's a little bit confused.
45:39Like, in my head I was like,
45:40Shannon literally told me that
45:41there's no sexual chemistry between them.
45:43I was just like,
45:44that's a bit awkward because
45:45you're saying one thing and doing another.
45:47Asa, do you wish that you did twist?
45:49I'm quite happy with the fact that I didn't twist
45:52because I was clinging on to an idea that,
45:54you know, we could make things work.
45:57Because, you know, you're fucking amazing, you know.
45:59But I think also as well,
46:00like, we're just two different people.
46:02I'm over-the-top, laughy-jokey,
46:04and you're very sensible.
46:07And you obviously don't like me as a person.
46:11You're always constantly looking away,
46:12constantly sort of like rolling your eyes at myself.
46:18Do you not think you've got a little bit of a bruised eagle
46:20that she maybe said that she doesn't find
46:22like yous have got anything?
46:23No, no, no, no, no, not at all.
46:25Look, we've had our sort of moments together.
46:27We've shared some very intimate moments, quite frankly.
46:33But she just doesn't fucking respect me at all.
46:36Wow.
46:37I just think it crosses a line of disrespect
46:39when you can, like, say that about someone
46:41when it's clearly not in the way,
46:42and I think I'm actually walking away from the situation.
46:46I don't usually walk away from a table, but...
46:49Do you want me? OK.
46:54Was that a negative thing to say?
47:08There, keep breathing.
47:10You're OK.
47:14There's no excuse for this,
47:15and I think, yes, he struggles in a social setting,
47:17and I've been so appreciative of that,
47:19but to be able to do what he just did in there,
47:21I just have no words then.
47:23He's clearly shown his true colours to me tonight.
47:26You OK?
47:28Maybe it's just my autism kicking off.
47:30I've just been a bit open about it all,
47:32because I feel like if I don't say anything,
47:34I'm not fighting my corner.
47:35All I can do is just be myself, unapologetically myself,
47:38and just move on.
47:40Don't all roll your eyes!
47:41I'm not going to roll my eyes again!
47:44What I want to know is, does anybody regret twisting?
47:47Good question.
47:49Start with yourself, actually.
47:50Oh, I'll start with myself!
47:52I'm glad I've twisted.
47:53Wouldn't mind playing Naked Twister with him, to be honest.
47:56LAUGHTER
47:57He's fit!
47:58Are we going to go round this way?
48:00So, you twisted, didn't you?
48:02I did twist, yeah.
48:03How did that go?
48:06Oh!
48:09It's just a really tricky situation, really.
48:11I think what me and Aaron have, it's really special.
48:15We're the same person.
48:17The band is there.
48:18We literally get on amazing.
48:20And I think because the bar's been set so high,
48:23I'm never going to get that with someone else.
48:29Oh!
48:30What a fucking punch in the heart.
48:35Tonight, for the first time,
48:36I've seen that Chloe's not being 100% truthful with me
48:39about how she feels.
48:40I don't think I regret twisting,
48:42because I think it proves a lot to me.
48:44That's made me feel ridiculously guilty.
48:48We're really good friends,
48:49but there's nothing more there than that, I don't think.
48:52You all right?
48:53I kind of feel like I should pull her up on it
48:56and talk to her to one side.
48:58It's almost like she kind of needs to do that to herself
49:02and say, look, this is how I'm really feeling.
49:04Can we discuss it?
49:05Danny?
49:06I feel it's pretty disrespectful.
49:09I feel it's pretty disrespectful
49:10that you're not being sat next to Lois.
49:12I don't give a shit.
49:13I don't.
49:14So say what you need to say, honestly.
49:16Yeah, she was incredible.
49:20Energy's matched.
49:21She was kind, smiley, bubbly, beautiful.
49:26It was like, oh, she's kind.
49:28She's beautiful.
49:29Just trying to make me feel like she's everything that I'm not.
49:33I just hope that she is...
49:37..savvy.
49:41Yolanda?
49:42So, I'm glad I decided to twist because my date, Dominic,
49:47he's a little rascal, he backs himself, he comes in.
49:50It's that kind of energy that I'd probably be drawn to
49:53that I'm trying to run away from.
49:55Trying to avoid, yeah.
49:56Red flag, like, so you've got, like, Mr Green flag over here,
50:00you've got Mr Red flag on the other hand,
50:02and I'm like, I don't know what to do.
50:04So, yeah, I was pretty cool with you going on the date to begin with,
50:07but then, I don't know, when you were on the date,
50:09you looked fucking incredible when you were on it.
50:11Oh!
50:12There was, like, just a tad of jealousy.
50:14It's made me think, maybe I should up my game slightly.
50:17All of a sudden, Luke's now like, yeah, I do care about him,
50:20did make me a little bit jealous, and I was like, whoa,
50:23it's kind of confused me a little bit.
50:25Have I friend-zoned him too early?
50:27Should I have given him more of a chance?
50:31More the better, love.
50:34Oh, for fuck's sake.
50:36Oh, my God. Read it out, come on.
50:38Hey, Shannon, it's Lewis.
50:40Shame we didn't get to meet the other day, but it's finally our time.
50:43Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow.
50:45You can see what you've been missing out on.
50:47Absolutely nothing.
50:49Let's go!
50:51Asa, it's Marie. Been looking forward to meeting you.
50:54Excited to finally go on a date. Hope you are too.
50:56See you tomorrow. Wink your face with a kiss.
50:58I am so excited to meet Marie.
51:00I'm hoping she has good banter and actually likes me.
51:06Oh, my God, I've got a text.
51:08Oh, no, I can't see her.
51:10David!
51:12Ah!
51:14I'm, like, I'm over it. Like, what?
51:20Oh!
51:22Oh, stop it!
51:24Stop it!
51:30Guys, listen.
51:32Hey, I had a great time yesterday meeting you.
51:35I think we should get together soon.
51:39Wait.
51:41How does right now sound?
51:44No!
51:46Oh, my God!
51:49Oh!
51:51Oh, hell no!
51:57Oh, my God.
52:01Next time...
52:03There's a jacuzzi for me and you to go in.
52:05For some, it's time for life as a three.
52:07We're just two people that just don't get on.
52:09I don't have nothing to say on it. OK.
52:11And the two singles that stuck with their first matches...
52:14Lovely to meet you. Nice to meet you.
52:16..can see what they've been missing.
52:18I feel like I'm cheating on James.
52:20But when the first matches move out...
52:22He's moving out.
52:24..can distance make the heart grow fonder?
52:26Lewis is moving in.
52:28James's house and James's bird.
52:46Oh, my God.
