00:00What happened last night, well, it was a shitshow.
00:23Last night, I suggested to Melinda that we go for a walk around the neighbourhood.
00:36Anyway, she said that she'd prefer to go to bed.
00:40So I thought I'd leave her to that and give her some space.
00:43And so I went for a walk.
00:48So when I got back, I thought I would just knock on her door and say goodnight.
00:53And I heard her in her bedroom with a male member of production.
00:59I went into the room and I saw this gentleman sat on her bed talking with her.
01:06It just, to me, it didn't look right.
01:08It didn't feel good to see a man sitting on her bed.
01:11The door closed and I asked him to leave and it got pretty heated.
01:16And that's regrettable.
01:19Yeah.
01:21Things just escalated. He completely overreacted.
01:27There was too much tension.
01:29So I ended up moving out.
01:32So I opened up.
01:37Previously on Love Triangle.
01:39Hey!
01:40How are you?
01:41Five singles stepped into the unknown.
01:44Hi, pretty lady!
01:46Moving in with a complete stranger based on text messaging alone.
01:52Comes with a cape too.
01:54Of course he does!
01:55It's giving little brother vibes.
01:57Having chosen between two suitors, some are over the moon.
02:02So hot.
02:03Fuck.
02:05But others are feeling pangs of regret.
02:09More like cringing a bit, do you know what I mean?
02:11Like, I've had more moments where I'm just like...
02:14Kind of gave me eek a little bit.
02:17Coming up next, the first couple's party.
02:21Hello, mate.
02:21There you go, man. Jordan.
02:22And for one couple, the truth finally comes out.
02:29You know that I'm not attracted to that.
02:33I wasn't given my time.
02:35I asked for small, tan, ethnic.
02:44After spending the night in a nearby hotel,
02:48Melinda has returned to Mike's place to clear the air.
02:52Just come in, I guess.
02:57Morning.
02:58Morning.
03:00I just wanted to talk to you about last night
03:02and how you're feeling about everything
03:05and if we needed to clarify things.
03:09Okay.
03:10So how are you feeling about it?
03:13Oh, uh...
03:15I don't know.
03:17I suppose I've kind of come over it now,
03:20but, um...
03:22I suppose I, you know, reacted the way I did
03:25because I felt like that guy had overstepped a boundary.
03:30When you walked in, what did you see?
03:33I saw him talking to you.
03:35Yeah.
03:36So I'm speaking to a crew member.
03:40What fucking boundary are they overstepping?
03:42Well, you...
03:44Do you think that when you have a partner
03:47they're not allowed to speak to the opposite sex?
03:49No, I don't.
03:50They're not allowed to?
03:52Oh, no, I don't have a problem with it, no.
03:53Being in your room, on the bed,
03:56with the door closed,
03:57to me, it just...
03:58It irritated me.
04:00He could have knocked on your door,
04:01said, is everything okay here?
04:03Okay, great, I'll be downstairs.
04:04What makes you think that he didn't do that, though?
04:06Well, he didn't because he was on your bed
04:08behind a closed door.
04:08That's exactly what he did.
04:10He knocked on the door to see if I was okay
04:11and I asked him to come in.
04:13His job is to speak with us and check on our welfare.
04:15That's actually his job description.
04:16I don't know that sitting on your bed...
04:19What do you want him to do, sit on the floor?
04:23I feel that perhaps you overreacted
04:25without understanding the situation first.
04:28If you had have just asked me,
04:30I would have explained what had happened,
04:31but you just overreacted in anger.
04:36If you recall, I didn't raise my voice, by the way.
04:39Not once did I raise my voice.
04:41You did, however, come down and raise your voice
04:44and yell at me.
04:44Do you remember that part?
04:45100% and I'm sorry for losing my call.
04:48I'm 100% and I'll own that and I do apologise.
04:51I went full Karen mode.
04:52You're painting, you're getting prepared
04:54to paint a narrative of me.
04:56So, you know, I wasn't concerned about you at all.
05:00I didn't make an accusation toward you or your honour
05:04or what your intentions were with that guy.
05:08All I saw was a guy in your bedroom
05:10who should not have been there from where I was standing.
05:13So, OK, I'm speaking with a male who's doing his job
05:17and you don't like it and then what did you do?
05:22Uh, well, I told him to leave.
05:25Yeah?
05:26And he confronted me about it.
05:27I told him to leave again and he did.
05:29Then you left.
05:32He won't be working here yet.
05:33He's not going to be in our house again.
05:35Yeah.
05:36Make no mistake, he didn't get the hint
05:38that he's to be seen and not heard.
05:39I don't think anybody's to be seen and not heard.
05:45I think that's a really unfair thing to say.
05:50I'm happy to be civil with you beyond this,
05:53but I won't raise my voice to you and I won't swear to you
05:56and I ask that you don't do that to me.
05:58Let's give each other some respect.
06:00OK, that's fine.
06:01Are you going to apologise for yelling at me
06:02or are we going to just not mention that you also yelled at me?
06:05I didn't yell at you.
06:06You did yell at me.
06:08I didn't.
06:09I did not raise my voice at you.
06:11Absolutely not.
06:12The people that are going to be watching this,
06:14they don't all like me, but do you know what?
06:16They trust me because I never tell bullshit.
06:18So, I really hate to say this,
06:20but you're nowhere near as relevant as you think you are.
06:23You are a 50-year-old washed-up reality TV star.
06:27OK.
06:29OK.
06:31OK, well, hey, great chat.
06:33And I'm going to leave you with it.
06:35Yep.
06:35Yeah?
06:36Sure.
06:37OK, well.
06:39Want a cup of tea?
06:41I'm all good, thank you.
06:42OK.
06:44Mike has a very self-focused personality
06:48and he's incredibly entitled.
06:52I, honestly, I'd rather shit in my hands and clap
06:55than get to know him any further.
06:57While one relationship is in free fall,
07:08others like Ari and Nuri are climbing to new heights.
07:13Wakey, wakey.
07:15Eggs and bakey.
07:16Chloe, bring a little coffee in bed.
07:21Oh.
07:22It tastes like what?
07:24I use normal milk.
07:26You're not going to shit the bed, are you?
07:27Chloe has been working on fanning the flames of passion
07:33with her match, Bec.
07:35This is not wanting to ignite.
07:40Oh, here we go.
07:41Um...
07:42Last night, Chloe tried to heat things up
07:48in the chemistry department
07:49with an at-home date.
07:51Come sit.
07:52Aw.
07:53The effort that you've put in tonight
07:54is winning me over, that's for sure.
07:56But she didn't get the outcome she was hoping for.
08:00So last night, Bec and I ended up
08:02in our separate bedrooms.
08:04I'm super happy to take this slowly,
08:08but in my mind, ideally,
08:11I would have loved to have a bit of hand-holding
08:13or maybe to have shared a kiss by now.
08:17Good.
08:17OK.
08:18Mm.
08:19I am still very hopeful that Bec does start
08:22to show the passion towards me.
08:26Hmm.
08:27If this has any hope of going anywhere.
08:41Living in the future.
08:43Jordan is starting to grow on me a little bit.
08:47He's a lot more entertaining to be around than I thought.
08:49No-one's ever needed two knives for toast for...
08:52You have two bits of bread, two hands, go ahead.
08:55On moving in,
08:57Peyton was left a little confused by her match, Jordan.
09:03Oh, OK.
09:04We're putting it on.
09:06Comes with a cape, too.
09:08Of course it does.
09:09It's giving little brother vibes.
09:11Like, it's not giving man-of-my-dreams vibes.
09:14But after spending more time together,
09:17her opinion is changing.
09:20This is, like, our first cooking thing together.
09:23It's actually kind of romantic, actually.
09:26Yesterday, I know I did make such snap judgment,
09:28but today, I feel like I'm getting, like,
09:30a bit more of a real side.
09:31I feel like he's moved me away from the little brother vibe.
09:34Oh, you know I love my toast?
09:36What?
09:36Holes?
09:37Yeah, plenty of pot holes.
09:38How have you lived alone for so long
09:41and not been able to cook?
09:44Well, after that escapade,
09:46I'm thinking maybe we go to the grocery shops,
09:49get some stuff,
09:49and maybe I teach you how to cook.
10:04Oh, yes!
10:06We are so set.
10:08We are never being pale again.
10:10How is it?
10:12Yeah, it's not bad.
10:14Can't complain.
10:15Just a nice little, like, light bronze glow.
10:18But it's not as flirty as the first date.
10:21Do I want to play it safe, though?
10:23No.
10:25Now that I look back,
10:27maybe I'm sending the vibes that I'm, like, not too keen.
10:31I rejected his kiss.
10:33And then the fact that I put him in the other room.
10:35From the first date,
10:37Ariana played by her own rules.
10:40I want to kiss you now.
10:42Yeah, don't.
10:46Maybe not first date.
10:47OK.
10:49And has stuck to her guns on move-ins.
10:52This is my room.
10:53Making sure they sleep in separate beds.
10:56And then this is your room.
10:57This is, like, the guest room.
10:58The guest room.
10:59Yeah, the mini-man room.
11:00You can pretty much touch the walls.
11:03But now, what was once a blossoming relationship
11:07has come to a standstill.
11:10Hey, doll.
11:11What are you doing?
11:12I wouldn't blame him.
11:13He feels a bit, like, apprehensive.
11:15You know.
11:17I just had to grab the milk and now you're naked.
11:19So, I'm trying to get the flirty vibes going again.
11:22So, I'm going to give him a spray tan.
11:25All right, which one do you want?
11:27You should tell me.
11:28I've never had a tan before, like...
11:29You've never had a tan before?
11:30No, I've never had a spray tan.
11:31Welcome, doll.
11:32Taking your tanning virginity.
11:34Your tanginity.
11:37Get undressed.
11:39So, what are we going with?
11:41Because you surprised me.
11:44All I know how to do is get naked, man.
11:46That's fucking right.
11:48Yeah, he's hot.
11:49So, obviously, I want to kiss him, but...
11:51I'm very old school.
11:52Like, I like the male making the first move.
11:54Locked and loaded, baby.
11:57But...
11:57That might be the hardest thing I've ever done.
11:59Mmm.
12:09How lovely is this?
12:11It's stunning.
12:12Gorgeous.
12:13Keen to show Bernie her fun and flirty side,
12:17Marissa has taken him out for a drink.
12:19Is this the kind of place that you would go?
12:22Love the outdoor patio vibe.
12:26Bernie and Marissa's move-in
12:28got off to an awkward start
12:31after he mocked her American accent.
12:34American, so American.
12:36Why is it funny?
12:37I could imagine you with your accent saying,
12:39I think I'm speaking to my high school crush.
12:43Straight out of an high school musical scene.
12:46Are you just going to keep up
12:47with the American stereotypes this whole time?
12:49I don't think we've really talked about anything that deep.
12:52And yeah, just, I think I got concerned that,
12:56I think, maybe we're not on the same level.
12:59Yeah.
13:00Journey-wise.
13:01But yeah.
13:01I was pretty direct last night.
13:06Like, I think we've tackled the tough things,
13:08and it would be nice to just have a fun moment.
13:11Cheers.
13:12Cheers.
13:12What are we cheersing to today?
13:13To having some fucking fun.
13:14To have fun.
13:15Let's do it.
13:16I'll see.
13:16I mean, it is calling for it.
13:19It's sunny.
13:21For Marissa, I kind of just need her to just let loose a little bit.
13:25Because of that conversation,
13:26I feel like I've been, like, emotionally catfished a little bit,
13:29because, like, in the message, she was so, like,
13:31like, funny, cheeky, whatever.
13:33And then, but then again,
13:35I am giving her the benefit of the doubt.
13:37You had a fun time.
13:39Wow.
13:39And I hope you feel comfortable, like,
13:41being cheeky and fun still.
13:43I feel like we, like,
13:44I want you to feel comfortable.
13:47Like, I definitely want to be clear about that.
13:49I don't really think it has to be, like, all serious.
13:52And I've been very, like, mellow and kind of chill.
13:55Yeah, yeah.
13:56But, yeah, we can have fun.
13:58Yeah.
13:58Like, you can have the banter and stuff.
14:00Yeah.
14:00I think it'll just take me a little bit now
14:02to just get back on.
14:03Yeah, that's fair enough.
14:04Back on the horse, as they say.
14:06I think psyching yourself out
14:09and getting upset over someone not being deep
14:11within the first not even 24 hours
14:13of meeting each other,
14:15like, that's a bit unfair on me.
14:18I am, like, youthful.
14:20I am, like, I am a child at heart,
14:22like, in just the way I look at life.
14:24Like, I just don't think things need to be that serious.
14:26I'm so happy to, like,
14:28get back to that, like, flirty banter
14:31and fun and being silly and goofy.
14:34As we say it back home, rock on, brother.
14:36I don't know if you say that.
14:38We don't really say that back home,
14:39but just ignore that I did that.
14:41Don't even think about that.
14:42I didn't do that.
14:43Just delete that.
14:43Just go.
14:44In real life, I would have cut things off.
14:48I'd have to have a moment of introspection.
14:51Be like, you're doing it again.
14:53Maybe.
14:55You need to continue giving Marissa a shot
14:57and see where that goes.
14:59Because if I came here just to do what I do anyways
15:02in the real world, then what's the point, really?
15:03Yeah, hug.
15:04All right.
15:11All right.
15:11What do we need?
15:13Mushrooms, garlic.
15:14Mm-hm.
15:14Bacon.
15:15Mm-hm.
15:16Peyton is on a mission to teach her match Jordan how to cook.
15:20Oh, we also need onions.
15:22OK.
15:22So get a brown onion.
15:23Right.
15:24So let's get a brown onion.
15:25I didn't know those were different coloured onions,
15:27to be honest.
15:28What?
15:28No, that's not an onion.
15:31That's not an onion.
15:31That's beetroot.
15:32Nope.
15:33OK.
15:33This way.
15:34Far out.
15:35Nope.
15:36Ooh.
15:38Back it up.
15:39Back it up.
15:40No.
15:41Put the...
15:41I saw that.
15:44This is like trying to control a toddler.
15:46Sense of humour is probably my best asset.
15:48Well, we need to look for mushrooms.
15:50Tell you what, there's no mushroom in this grocery store.
15:53Stop trying to steal my joke.
15:55I love to joke around.
15:57Peyton, why'd you put this in there?
15:58You put that in there.
16:00I guess we'll just have to keep it then, you know?
16:03I think she's definitely starting to get my sense of humour.
16:06I think the day one might have scared her a bit.
16:10But, yeah, if I can make her laugh, that's sort of the goal.
16:14Welcome to Peyton and Jordan's cooking show.
16:17Are you equipped to cut up an onion?
16:19Absolutely.
16:19OK.
16:20Do you know how to cut up an onion?
16:21Ooh.
16:22Am I going to cry?
16:23Maybe.
16:24Good.
16:25I've...
16:26I wanted to feel something.
16:29They kind of look like little faces on there, don't they?
16:33Sure.
16:35Do you think of an attraction growing?
16:37I definitely think that we are on the right path.
16:41Definitely out of, like, a weird friend zone.
16:45Um, have cream in your moustache.
16:48Oh.
16:52But definitely not, like, in a get-naked zone just yet.
16:56So, you and I, just, this all goes well.
17:00We get married.
17:01Yeah.
17:02We live the, we live the, uh, the whole fantasy.
17:05Would you be cooking every night?
17:07Would you like to, uh, split it?
17:10Like, how would you like to do it?
17:11Share the load.
17:12Or, like, I'd do two nights, you'd do a night.
17:13You do five nights, I do one night.
17:15Mmm.
17:16Mmm.
17:18On the other hand, he's not really being, you know, touchy or anything.
17:26If that ends up on the...
17:27You almost elbowed me and almost hit that on the floor.
17:31We haven't even held hands.
17:35I don't know whether he's into me like that.
17:39Only time will tell.
17:40I wonder who that could be.
17:48Got a text.
17:53Open it.
17:54I'm nervous.
17:55I'm nervous.
17:57Oh, my God.
18:01So.
18:02I don't even want to hear it, man.
18:03You have to move out tonight.
18:04Oh.
18:08There's no fucking way.
18:09I'm kidding.
18:10Oh, fuck.
18:11We're invited to a dinner meeting.
18:13Really?
18:13Yeah.
18:14You and your match are invited to a party tomorrow.
18:18Tomorrow?
18:19This will be your first big social outing as a couple.
18:23And a chance to catch up with the other couples going through the same crazy dating experience as you.
18:27I'm so excited.
18:29Oh, my God.
18:30We actually get to meet everyone else.
18:31After three days of living together, it's time to compare notes at the first couple's party.
18:44Wow.
18:45Wow.
18:46Looking good, man.
18:47Thank you, scrubber for all right, too.
18:51We're really excited to go into this couple's party and just, like, have fun.
18:56And telepathically, I'm sending signals.
19:00Kiss me.
19:00You look amazing.
19:09Thanks.
19:09So do you.
19:11Are you kidding me?
19:13Oh, my God.
19:18Chloe's a very attractive girl.
19:21Still definitely a slow burn, which is nice.
19:23I don't feel uncomfortable.
19:26How are you feeling for tonight?
19:27So excited.
19:28Mm-hmm.
19:28I just want to get there.
19:29Yeah.
19:30I'm really keen to meet all the other triangles and see how everyone else is.
19:36Oh, do you think we need a code word?
19:39If anything is going wrong, you can say to me, your bow needs fixing, or I can say, my bow needs fixing.
19:45Are we ready?
19:46Actually, check yourself in the mirror first.
19:49I'm kidding.
19:50You asshole.
19:53Looking good.
19:54Oh, I reckon we'll scrub up all right.
19:56Yeah, we do.
19:58Mm.
19:59Kind of like Bonsai Housewife and Little Pool Boy.
20:04Sounds like a porno.
20:07I don't know if we watch that kind of stuff.
20:10We got this.
20:10All right, let's go.
20:12After you.
20:15All right, let's go.
20:16Tonight's party is a chance for everyone to come together and share their experiences.
20:29The first couple has it right.
20:35Look at that view.
20:35Oh, boy.
20:38Oh, this is so nice.
20:40Look at all the candles.
20:41It's also an opportunity for each couple to step outside their familiar home settings and see each other in a new light.
20:51I can't believe we're the first couple.
20:53How are you feeling?
20:54I'm so nervous.
20:55Yeah?
20:55I'm excited, though.
20:57Yeah, I'm excited to meet everyone.
20:57I'm so excited.
20:59Yeah.
21:00So, yeah, how are you feeling about us?
21:03Yeah, I'm all right.
21:04Like, I'm just glad that we're having fun.
21:09Yeah.
21:10I think we're positively moving.
21:12So, you remember the first date?
21:16Stop bringing that up.
21:16You know where I'm going with this.
21:17You know where I'm going with this.
21:18Stop bringing that up.
21:20Singers are on our second date, technically.
21:22Is this our second date?
21:23Yeah.
21:23A party?
21:23Your rule was first date.
21:26We're on our second date now.
21:27What?
21:28I probably want you to do this.
21:29What?
21:34Oh, see, I didn't reject you this time.
21:41Yeah, come here.
21:43Oh, that was nice.
21:44Okay.
21:45So, the door definitely isn't closed then.
21:48No way.
21:49I think it's wide open now.
21:52When we got in tonight, you know, the vibes are good.
21:54I felt like potentially there was something there,
21:56so I was like, fuck it, let's shoot my shot.
21:58It was nice.
22:02Now you can't stop.
22:03Yeah, I know, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
22:05She made me work for a little bit,
22:07but I always get what I want.
22:08So, I'm happy, I'm a happy man.
22:12Cheers to first kisses, I guess.
22:13Four first kisses?
22:14Mate, I didn't think you were going to do that at the party.
22:17Huh?
22:17Well, it's already a party.
22:19It's a party of two, baby.
22:21Cool.
22:23Fonse.
22:24Barre fonse.
22:25Oh, there we go.
22:26Hi.
22:27Hi.
22:28Hi, Ariana.
22:29I'm Peyton.
22:29How are you, bro?
22:30How are you going, man?
22:30Nice to meet you.
22:31Nice to meet you.
22:32Are you first?
22:34We're first.
22:34Yeah.
22:35Oh, my God, fun.
22:35I know.
22:36We've just been chilling, you know.
22:38Yeah, yeah.
22:40How are you guys going?
22:41Oh.
22:42Yeah.
22:42So fun.
22:43Do you need a drink?
22:44Yes.
22:44Yeah.
22:45That's amazing.
22:46But yeah, grab a drink and come sit down.
22:47Let's jam.
22:48Yeah, sounds good.
22:49Okay.
22:50After a drink?
22:50Yes, please.
22:51Yeah, please.
22:53Can they get on?
22:54Yeah, 100%.
22:55They get, like, a warm energy.
22:56No?
22:56You don't think so?
22:57Huh.
22:59You know, like, bro to bro.
23:00I've got those vibes.
23:02You know, maybe they're not one for each other.
23:06Where do you guys want to sit?
23:07You can sit right here, pal.
23:09How is everything going?
23:11Oh, yeah.
23:12I mean, dude, it's fucking wild.
23:14It's like two, like, little ADHD children just, like, running around in this house.
23:18Okay.
23:18Yeah, but that's fine.
23:19That's fine.
23:20Yeah, yeah.
23:20It's just, it's a lot of fun.
23:21Five years into the marriage already, like, that's where we're at.
23:24Really?
23:24Like, that's how comfortable we are.
23:25Oh, my God.
23:27Unreal.
23:27Yeah, as well.
23:31Hello.
23:32Hi.
23:32Hi.
23:34Welcome.
23:35I'm Bernie.
23:36Nice to meet you.
23:36I'm Peyton.
23:37Peyton.
23:37No, how are you?
23:38Good, thank you.
23:39Hi, brother.
23:40Honestly, buzzing to meet the other couples.
23:42Like, it's just nice to have, like, a laugh.
23:45Where are you from, Bernie?
23:46It's some accent.
23:47We're both not from this country.
23:50Portugal.
23:51I'm Portuguese.
23:51How the fuck do you know that?
23:52I've got an eye, man.
23:54You've got two eyes.
23:56And, like, best case scenario, this completely new side of Marissa comes out.
24:01I might let you boys chat, and I'm going to pop over here.
24:06And she's just, like, fun.
24:07She lets her guard down fully.
24:09She's doing her own thing.
24:10That would be great.
24:12Yeah.
24:13How's everything going?
24:14You know why?
24:14It's...
24:15Are you loving it?
24:16It's...
24:16You look like you're loving it.
24:17Really?
24:18Yeah.
24:19You're giving the vibe so you guys are, like, in love and ready to get married.
24:21Really?
24:21Are you kidding?
24:22You haven't...
24:22I mean, this is so cute.
24:24Yeah.
24:24They have not let go of each other.
24:26Like, they're...
24:26We can hold it.
24:27Yeah.
24:28Hi, guys.
24:37Hi, guys.
24:37Hi.
24:38Hi.
24:38Hi.
24:39Hi.
24:39Hi.
24:40Hi.
24:40Hi.
24:41You're so pretty.
24:50Ariana.
24:51I'd say that, Bernie.
24:52The two of them walked in, and I was like, fuck me.
24:58Who are we starting with?
24:59Hey, I'm Chloe.
25:00Hey, how are you?
25:01The blonde is a star new.
25:03Hello, girl.
25:04How are you?
25:04I'm Bernie.
25:05Oh, hi.
25:06Nice to meet you.
25:07How are you?
25:07What's your name?
25:07Chloe.
25:08Chloe.
25:08Nice to meet you.
25:09Chloe.
25:09Chloe.
25:09Nice to meet you.
25:12Who's a single and who's a suitor?
25:13I'm single.
25:15Oh.
25:16Yeah.
25:16And back's my suitor.
25:18Yeah.
25:18So, I chose to not know the genders of my suitors.
25:23So, because I'm bisexual.
25:29She's also into guys.
25:31Oh, fuck me.
25:34So, I didn't want the gender influencing my decision at all.
25:39Oh, my God.
25:40That's beautiful.
25:40Good.
25:42Yeah, I love that for you guys.
25:43Yes.
25:43What do you think?
25:45Oh, it is.
25:46It's not up, man.
25:46It's not up.
25:47Is that everyone?
25:49Someone else coming in?
25:55As time goes by, I'm starting to think that maybe I've stuffed up.
25:59Maybe I did the wrong thing by confronting that gentleman.
26:03I should have probably just left it be.
26:07I'm trying to put on a brave face, and I'm hoping that we don't even have to bring this up.
26:12I'm going to go.
26:13I'm going to go.
26:14Hey.
26:15Hi.
26:16Hi.
26:17How are you going?
26:18I'm Peyton.
26:19My name's Mel.
26:20Nice to meet you.
26:21Nice to meet you.
26:22Hello, mate.
26:23How are you going, man?
26:24Jordan.
26:25Nice to meet you.
26:26Hi, Beck.
26:27Hi, Beck.
26:28My name's Mel.
26:29Nice to meet you.
26:30When Mike and Melinda arrived, it seemed very, very separate.
26:33Like, it didn't seem like it was on good terms.
26:35There you go.
26:36How's it going?
26:37I'm a Nando's girl.
26:38We can dive into it.
26:39Oh, Mr. Clean.
26:40Yes.
26:45He looks familiar.
26:46Who's looking at every other bald man over there?
26:49Mr. Clean.
26:50Sorry.
26:51I'm sorry.
26:52I'm going to hell.
26:54Why do I know you?
26:56Oh, uh.
26:57No, maybe we do the same Pilates class.
27:03No, I'm kidding.
27:04Sorry.
27:05Nitty gritty.
27:06Shall we?
27:07Hey, do you guys want to go for a girly chat?
27:09Oh, fuck yes.
27:10How have you been waiting?
27:11Honestly.
27:12Grab the chairs.
27:14Let's start with you.
27:16Coming in hot.
27:17Coming in hot.
27:18Are you the suitor or the single?
27:23Suitor.
27:24Yeah.
27:25It was great, honestly.
27:26Like, we had a really great first date.
27:28Like, I feel like our texting was, like, spicy, like, flirty.
27:31Ooh.
27:32It was, like, really fun.
27:33Um, I feel like we had similar energies and definitely bled into the first date.
27:38We kissed on the first day.
27:39Okay.
27:40How was that?
27:41It was good.
27:42It was a really good kiss.
27:43Okay, great.
27:44And then moving in, it was good.
27:46We had, like, a couple hiccups, like, just in terms of some boundaries I had in place.
27:51Yeah, so we spoke about that and I felt like we had some deep chats.
27:54We had some deep chats, holding hands, you know, we kissed, whatever.
27:57And then the next few days it's just been more, like, friend vibes.
28:01So, I don't know.
28:02Okay.
28:03I don't know.
28:04Like, the door's not closed.
28:05Are you kind of confused?
28:06I'm just, I'm very confused.
28:07Yeah.
28:08And do you see something long-term with him if he was to pull his finger out or not really?
28:12I think there's more to discover, but, like, you know?
28:16How are you doing?
28:17What's happened?
28:18Yeah.
28:19Yeah.
28:20Take it real slow.
28:21Well, at least you've given it, you know, everything.
28:24Yeah, I'm still trying.
28:25Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:26I'm trying to be fair.
28:27I feel like sometimes when I have my own internal chats I'm quite harsh and I can be like, oh,
28:31no, this will never work.
28:32But then I'm trying to, like, I'm in the show for a reason.
28:34I'm doing the same.
28:35How are you guys going?
28:37Good, really good.
28:38Like, we got her fair, so I just said a little bit of a kiss, so that was nice.
28:42Oh, was that your first date?
28:43Yeah, was that your first date?
28:44Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:45Well, I got rejected on the first date, man.
28:47Oh.
28:48How would you try and slap it on the first date?
28:50Yeah, that's ballsy.
28:51Yeah, but I'm feeling like, because now you've done it, like, you're, you've gone up a whole
28:56another level.
28:57Yeah, like, I think I'm taking the next step, so.
28:58Yeah.
28:59That's good.
29:00How's it all going for you?
29:01Yes.
29:02I mean, we get them all so well.
29:04We laugh, we joke, we, it almost feels like, okay, yeah, we feel like we have a
29:08five years of a couple.
29:09Like, we feel like, we bicker, like we've been married for five years.
29:12Really?
29:13Yeah, we bicker.
29:14Oh my God.
29:15We live in a house to communicate.
29:16We do, yeah.
29:17We absolutely communicate.
29:18We get along like a house on fire.
29:19I can't complain.
29:20Like, I love love.
29:21Oh, I love love.
29:22That's so cute.
29:23Yeah.
29:24That's so cute.
29:25Oh.
29:26Are you guys sharing the same bed?
29:29Nah.
29:30We, we, we're just, I think we're just completely in the friend zone.
29:35Does she know that she's in the friend zone?
29:38Yeah, for sure.
29:39Yeah.
29:40So you've had that conversation?
29:41Yeah.
29:42But I still think that, I think, I don't know, I could be completely wrong.
29:46But I think she wants me to make a move.
29:48Even though you've discussed that you're in the friend zone?
29:51Yeah.
29:52Well, I'm trying to get to the bottom of it, so it's, it's you that's not going to make
29:59the move.
30:00Like, you're, you're like.
30:01You don't want to.
30:02Oh, we're friends?
30:03I, I don't really want to at the moment because we're friends.
30:07But, um, like, and I see her as a friend.
30:10And I know she's desperate to like, hold hands and, and all that.
30:15So, to me, it sounds like she doesn't know that she's in the friend zone.
30:18We've talked about it for sure.
30:19So why is she trying to continue to push a bit of intimacy?
30:23I think because she wants to get to the next level.
30:25Okay.
30:26When I first met Jordan, I thought he seemed like a great guy.
30:31But I think that as soon as he opened his mouth, that changed.
30:37He was saying that there had been a conversation about being just friends,
30:41and they were in the friend zone.
30:43But then in the next breath, when I'd questioned him, he'd said no,
30:46but I'm open to it being something more.
30:48And he couldn't really land on an outcome.
30:52Jordan is getting a drink.
30:55I can tell you now, he is not being honest with the words he is saying.
31:00There's some blurred lines there.
31:02Yeah, odd.
31:03He's just like, saying one thing and then like, crossing her.
31:07Yeah.
31:08Um, I don't think he's into her.
31:10No.
31:11For sure.
31:12I don't think she knows that.
31:14And I don't think that's very fair.
31:16Yeah.
31:17So how is everything going?
31:21Yes.
31:22Um...
31:25It's been a shit show.
31:26It's not been...
31:27Oh.
31:28Really?
31:29Yeah.
31:30Okay.
31:31In what way?
31:32I was talking with a male member of staff.
31:34Yes.
31:35And, um, Mike came in and didn't like that.
31:39And proceeded to start yelling at the staff member.
31:44He was just more like, he's making me uncomfortable,
31:47we shouldn't be speaking with you.
31:49Like, I flipped my shit and went off.
31:52Yeah.
31:53Because I thought he was going to try and paint this narrative of me talking to another guy.
31:57And I'm like, this promiscuous mother.
32:00And I don't think it's okay.
32:02No.
32:03When that, all that shit went down, we started yelling.
32:07And then today I confronted him and he was like, I would never yell at a woman.
32:10Are you joking?
32:12I wish I was.
32:13That's disgusting.
32:15Yeah.
32:16Yuck.
32:17Okay.
32:18And then this pissed me off as well, because he said when he goes to the gym,
32:22he'll deliberately leave a plate on the bar, a 20 kilo plate.
32:26And I hate when people do that at the gym, because I can't lift that 20 kilo plate off.
32:30And he's like, if you can't lift it off, you shouldn't be lifting weights.
32:37And I said it's like leaving a trolley in the car park.
32:40Okay.
32:41Oh, you're buzzing.
32:43Yeah.
32:44Yeah.
32:45I can't control what Melinda's saying to people.
32:50What she says is entirely her business.
32:53100% entitled and massive.
32:55But if people get wind that it's not all a bed of roses between us, then it's all going
33:00to come out and people are going to take sides.
33:02It's going to be a big mess.
33:03And I don't want to do it to her.
33:05I really don't.
33:06Mike, do you want to come join?
33:08Yeah.
33:09Mike.
33:10How are you, team?
33:11How are we?
33:12Oh, good.
33:13Better than before I sat on the arm of that chair.
33:16It's what I said, Mike.
33:17How's it going?
33:18Come on.
33:19I'll be completely honest with you.
33:21Yeah, come on.
33:22Initially, look, she's a pretty girl.
33:23She's an attractive girl.
33:24Yeah.
33:25My texting phase was okay.
33:26You know, she was quite charming and a little bit flirty, which was nice.
33:30Um, no, you know, we, um, well, that's it.
33:35Yeah.
33:36How about you guys?
33:37What's happening?
33:38Wait, so.
33:39Yeah, I was going to say, like, wait, wait, wait, wait.
33:40Let's roll that back.
33:42She was, I thought she was really nice.
33:44Yeah, yeah.
33:45And, uh, and now it's, um, we're not, we're not really even on speaking terms.
33:50That must be, yeah.
33:51Yeah, so that's where we're at now.
33:56Why is that?
33:57Like, what happened?
33:58Fucking hell.
33:59He tried to say that I was here for the wrong reason.
34:01Oh!
34:03I actually wasn't going to talk about this tonight.
34:05Yeah, if you don't want to talk about it, that's fine.
34:06Yeah, it's all right.
34:09I wanted to be so nice.
34:11I really did.
34:12I wanted to come into this.
34:13I didn't want to get involved in that.
34:15And suddenly I'm in the middle of it.
34:19She was chatting with a guy, um, from production in her room.
34:25Wait, as in doing filming?
34:28No, no.
34:29After hours.
34:30Quite late.
34:31Like, on text?
34:32No.
34:33Person.
34:34Yeah, he was on the bed.
34:35Why?
34:36Good question.
34:37Bernie, when I spoke to him.
34:38Fuck that.
34:39Yeah, yeah, okay.
34:40Like, I get, like, I'm, like, friendly.
34:42Maybe you're right.
34:43Like, I'm friendly with the crew.
34:44Yeah, I don't want him on the bed.
34:45Yeah.
34:46With the door closed things.
34:47That's fair enough.
34:48And the red dress lady, when I spoke to her.
34:51What?
34:52What?
34:53That makes it so much worse.
34:56Does it?
34:57Yeah, okay.
34:58Yes, it does.
34:59It is pretty bad.
35:00And Jordan, when I spoke to him.
35:01Oh, she?
35:02She got cranky.
35:03She got really angry.
35:04Oh, yeah.
35:05How are you accusing her?
35:06We're all, oh my gosh, really?
35:08You saw this guy in the room and you asked him to leave and she got angry with that.
35:13As soon as someone's in the bed and it gets a bit weird, like, I think you're in your place.
35:16Yeah, man.
35:17I think it's completely weird and out of order.
35:20I'm thinking, well, hang on.
35:22I'm actually vindicated here.
35:24They see it from my side.
35:26And that's a real comfort.
35:28I started to think, maybe I've played this wrongly.
35:32And then you guys, I guess, reiterated how I've been feeling and could understand my
35:37perspective.
35:38Yeah, for sure.
35:39Yeah.
35:40So, I'm back in the game.
35:41I'm good to go.
35:42Yeah.
35:46I'm going to come join the boys.
35:48Yeah, come on a seat.
35:49How's Bernie?
35:50How's Bernie?
35:51He's great.
35:52Honestly, I think he and I have a lot in common.
35:56So, yeah, been good vibes.
35:59Thanks.
36:02Yeah, I've been having a good time, honestly.
36:04Bernie and I kissed on the first day.
36:06Oh, you did?
36:07But that's kind of as far as it's gone.
36:09What?
36:10What happened since then?
36:11I don't know.
36:12I think part of me is like, is he, does he find me attractive?
36:15Like, I don't know.
36:16He is, buddy.
36:17He is.
36:18Yeah.
36:20Like, objectively, you are an attractive woman.
36:23So, what would be the problem?
36:25I just don't get it.
36:27Yeah, I don't get it either.
36:28It's baffling.
36:29Aw, you guys are making me feel a lot better.
36:31Jordan and Mike, they actually told me, like, you know, we acknowledge that you're very attractive.
36:36Like, I can't see why Bernie wouldn't want to pursue something with you.
36:40Like, it just made me feel more at ease.
36:43I bet 100% people would never think you're a mum right.
36:47Oh, nobody ever does.
36:49Um, I think it's just my age.
36:51And nobody ever thinks I'm 30, either.
36:54Is that your partner over there?
36:56Yeah.
37:00Has he acknowledged that you're here?
37:02Oh, he's busy.
37:04He's making friends.
37:06I hope she likes to cook, because he doesn't.
37:09I think Marissa's a lovely girl.
37:12When I first got to know her, I was like, oh, quiet, friendly, lovely.
37:16Um, and then when she started seeing close-ups with Jordan, I was like, moving on in.
37:22I'm sure they're talking about you or, like, something nice.
37:26Surely.
37:29What's the tan thing from there, like?
37:31Oh, so, okay, yeah, yeah.
37:32So, I'm half white, half, like...
37:34I don't want to say Mexican, because my dad was not, like, from Mexico.
37:37But, like, my background is Mexican.
37:39Really?
37:40Yeah, so half white, half Latina.
37:41Yeah.
37:42Whoa.
37:43So, I'm...
37:44I'm stoked.
37:45Is anyone in the group more your type?
37:48Um...
37:49Yeah, uh, more my type than Peyton.
37:52I guess, like, conventionally, Marissa would probably be more my type.
37:56Small, tan, ethnic.
37:57Do you have a night-time routine?
37:59Of course I do.
38:00I knew there was something wrong with you.
38:01No, you just have to get on it.
38:02There's, like, tick, tick, tick.
38:03Okay, there it is.
38:04He's, um, he's actually a napkin.
38:05Slap the shit off his chin.
38:06I think that's really telling.
38:07The fact that I don't think at one point tonight Jordan checked in with me, whatsoever.
38:21It's really awkward, eh?
38:22I'm not, like, comfortable.
38:23It's not even, like, looking.
38:24Like...
38:25Babe.
38:26It's not how I would like to spend the first party.
38:31I have a certain, um, some expectations.
38:38Like, things like respect.
38:40I haven't embellished a single moment of what happened.
38:43Honestly, I think I trust you, yeah.
38:45Yeah.
38:46So, you know, there you go.
38:50Um, Mike, like, honestly, like, he sounds like a lovely blog.
38:56But I'm, like, getting distracted with Chloe.
38:58Bec said, I'm not her normal tiger.
39:01Oh, shit.
39:02Chloe is incredible.
39:03I was, like, I say, she's so beautiful.
39:05And she is my time.
39:07The things she was saying to me were fucking rude.
39:10This is, like, acceptable.
39:12Oh, my God.
39:15Like, this is a very pretty lady.
39:18But then, also, I didn't come here for someone who had to wait.
39:24I want someone who wants to literally rip my clothes off.
39:27Do you know what I mean?
39:30If I left without having a chat to her just one-on-one,
39:33I'd be like, fuck, I've wasted an opportunity.
39:35By the way, I'm licking my lips because I have really dry lips.
39:37Oh, I've got, if you want lip balm.
39:39You can put it on your finger if you want.
39:40Do you want?
39:41I don't have herpes.
39:42Yeah, I wouldn't want a little.
39:43I don't have herpes.
39:44I think if we have a chat, she'll be like, I want this guy.
39:47Um, are you going to the other table?
39:49Yeah.
39:50Yeah, I'll come as well.
39:51Oh.
39:52What do you do again?
39:54Nurse.
39:55Yeah, I'm a nurse manager.
39:56And you're from Sydney?
39:57Yeah.
39:58Mm.
39:59How do I actually know your face, though?
40:00You have a familiar face.
40:01I don't know.
40:02Are you on TikTok or something?
40:03Maybe.
40:04Yeah.
40:05But I'm on the gay side of TikTok, so you wouldn't know me.
40:08You don't know what my algorithm's like.
40:09I don't.
40:10How old do you?
40:1127 next week.
40:1397?
40:14Yeah.
40:15Oh, love that.
40:16Are you 97 too?
40:17Yeah.
40:18Look at that.
40:19Oh my God.
40:20Who would have thought?
40:21Two people that have owned the same year.
40:22You owe me.
40:23This is crazy.
40:24Why did you do this?
40:25I feel like this is, and this might sound bad, but when I see people that are like,
40:31more than like conventionally attractive, I'm like, what brings you to do this?
40:34Because you don't need to do this.
40:35Do you know what I mean?
40:36So I was supposed to be getting married.
40:39What happened?
40:40My partner came home and said, I'm not in love with you anymore.
40:46I don't feel excited to marry you.
40:50Like what is wrong with her?
40:53I don't know.
40:55But if you've been fucking dumped to the curb, what better way to enter the dating scene?
41:01No, and like a big fuck you, and a big fuck you.
41:04We've spoken a little bit and I'm like, oh, I feel like we'd get along.
41:08Take me back in time and somebody make me a suitor for her.
41:11I don't have to pick between two girls.
41:13Let me be one of the people fighting for Chloe, because I will fight tooth nail and fucking hair.
41:17Hello.
41:18Come sit.
41:19I'm so sorry.
41:20Can you remind me?
41:21I don't know.
41:22She's got a blue dress.
41:24Justin, she just takes herself a bit too seriously in general.
41:27Like, don't paint yourself as like this super hyper-confident person and then come here and you're like, not really.
41:33Not.
41:34Yeah.
41:35No, I feel like that's catfish.
41:36I'm sorry, but it feels like it.
41:38Sounds bad, but it does feel like it.
41:39Catfish in a personality sense.
41:40Yeah, yeah, yeah.
41:41It would have been nice to come here and just meet someone that you're like, oh my God, this person's sick.
41:45Yeah.
41:46And someone walks in the room.
41:47I already know what you're going to say.
41:48When you speak to someone, when you speak to one, you want to feel that little like, you're like, jump off your seat a little bit, you're like, oh.
41:53Yeah.
41:54Yeah.
41:55Cheers.
41:56You know what?
41:57We're just throwing ourselves in.
41:58Oh no.
41:59I was like, I don't want to be confused.
42:00How's it going?
42:01Well, I was just wondering if you'd take me to the bar, because.
42:03Pretty much.
42:04Yeah.
42:05Yeah.
42:06Yeah.
42:07Yeah.
42:08Yeah.
42:09Yeah.
42:10Yeah.
42:11Yeah.
42:12Yeah.
42:13Yeah.
42:14I just want to know what's going on with everyone like obviously like.
42:24We're all in this experience together.
42:27It's like we're talking in little groups.
42:29I'm like, you know what as a group?
42:31Fuck it.
42:32Throw it out there.
42:33Tell us what's on your mind.
42:39Mike?
42:40The thing happened and the way I perceived it,
42:43it didn't look good to me.
42:44And I responded a certain way that, you know,
42:47looking back on it, I feel like I did it mostly right.
42:52Anyway, while I take some responsibility
42:55for potentially overreacting, I never yelled at you.
43:00And you did accuse me of that.
43:02That's your truth.
43:03Yeah, that's just the end of it.
43:05Melinda, on your side.
43:07Yeah.
43:09I apologise for yelling.
43:11It wasn't the right thing to say.
43:13It wasn't the right thing to do.
43:14Like, I did flip my shit because I'm a mum,
43:17not that that makes it OK,
43:19but I thought he was going to paint a narrative
43:20of obviously me being in a room with another man,
43:23which wasn't the case, and respected Mike.
43:25He didn't try and paint that picture at all.
43:27So I will place respect where respect is due.
43:34Moving on from that.
43:35She called me a 50-year-old washed-up reality.
43:38What? That's just so uncool.
43:42When I was talking to Mike, he said that he has a lot of fans,
43:45and I said, I'm sorry to stop you there.
43:48You're a 50-year-old washed-up reality TV star.
43:51You don't have fans.
43:52I shouldn't have said that, but I said it.
43:55Yeah.
43:56That's it.
43:57And yes, I do have fans.
43:59That's a fact.
44:00I don't know, I don't recall saying that I have fans,
44:02but I certainly do.
44:06I recognised him as soon as he came into the room,
44:10and I said to him, how do I know you?
44:12And he, ooh, swiped me off to the side.
44:15And I was trying to figure out,
44:17have I got a personal connection to this bloke?
44:20Or who is he?
44:21And as soon as he said he had fans,
44:24I realised he was from maths.
44:28Sorry, I also want to say,
44:29Mike said that the staff's job is to be seen and not heard.
44:35Wait.
44:37Wait, you said that he should be seen and not heard.
44:39I'm sorry, but that's, I'm going to be honest,
44:44that's really rude to say to anyone.
44:46You can all scoff at it all you want, okay?
44:47That's fine, but this is my opinion on it.
44:50You asked my opinion, I can tell you what it is.
44:52But to tell someone, or to say about another person,
44:54that they should be seen and not heard,
44:55no matter what their role is as a staff member.
44:57Are you just determined to just decide against me?
45:00Because I feel like you are not listening to this from my perspective.
45:02No, no, you know what's turned me,
45:03is the fact that you said that he should be seen and not heard.
45:08You know what, you know what,
45:09let's just like, let's just move on.
45:11Like obviously there's some stuff that you guys need to work out
45:13and hopefully you guys can come out of this civil.
45:15I think this will be a positive from not talking about it.
45:18Yeah. You know? Yeah.
45:20All right, we'll get you started.
45:21Okay, so tell us, um, what's the best part of your experience so far?
45:24Uh, Peyton and I have formed a, yeah, very good connection.
45:29A connection in what way? Are you guys friends, romantic?
45:32Like, how are we going? Like, that's good advice.
45:33I think we're getting along very well.
45:37We have built a friendship.
45:38We are very, very good friends right now.
45:40Are you interested in her romantically?
45:42Just say it. The door is open.
45:45Can I step in? Yes.
45:47Because we had a conversation.
45:50Oh, ouch.
45:52Where you said that it was the friend zone and that was it.
45:56Yeah, we're in that friend zone.
45:57But when I asked you if Peyton was aware it was the friend zone, you were very...
46:06Were you vague?
46:07Do you agree?
46:09Yeah, I agree, man.
46:10Yes, okay, yes, but...
46:12The friend zone is like, there is no going back.
46:14Like, you are friends.
46:15Is that what that is?
46:16Yes.
46:16The friend zone is like your friend zone.
46:17You're done.
46:18I just would rather you not babble the bullshit and rather just be honest about it.
46:25You're either physically attracted to me or you're not.
46:28You either look at me and you go,
46:30I'd smack that or you're either go...
46:33You might be onto something.
46:34Probably not.
46:35I'm pretty sure, like, that's the thing.
46:38Yeah, it's like everyone knows you're beautiful.
46:40I think you're beautiful.
46:42Everyone would agree with that.
46:43Yeah, no shit.
46:43We're not asking you if I'm a beautiful person.
46:45I know I'm beautiful.
46:46I'm not asking you that.
46:48Like...
46:48We all know that.
46:49Fuck it knows.
46:49We know that.
46:50No, I know that.
46:52That's...
46:52I don't need you to tell me that.
46:53That's never been our issue.
46:55Yes.
46:55You're not attracted to me and I'm okay with that,
46:59but you have been lying to yourself and me
47:02in the fact of pretending that we are going to have something
47:05further than a friendship.
47:10At the moment, we're friends.
47:11I'm open to see what happens.
47:12I don't...
47:13I'm not saying the door is not open at all.
47:15I wouldn't say that.
47:17There's half of me that wants to believe him
47:19because we have built a friendship,
47:21but then there's another half of me that's also, like,
47:23he has been hiding something,
47:24that he hasn't been telling me something,
47:26that he's been, you know,
47:27withholding some form of the truth.
47:29I just don't know what to believe.
47:33Come on, cheers, girlies.
47:36We weren't expecting that, were we?
47:38Does anyone want a drink?
47:38Do you guys want a drink?
47:39Yes, please.
47:40Prosecco.
47:41As the party continues, Jordan, in an off-camera chat,
47:46reveals his true feelings about Peyton.
47:50You know that I'm not attracted to her.
47:59I asked for small, tan, ethnic,
48:05but she's the complete opposite in every sort of thing.
48:11Bullshit.
48:13Literally any other girl here, I would be into it.
48:15Could you do it?
48:17I can't do it.
48:20And it's like, you'd be an even more of a dick if you do it.
48:23Fucked or whatever, then I'm like, even more of a fucker.
48:27Like, there's just no way I'm not looking like an arsehole after this.
48:30Next time on Love Triangle.
48:38Did you say we are just friends?
48:41Um...
48:42At the moment, I don't really know if he's being genuine.
48:44It's the aftermath of the first couple's party.
48:48What about if I called you a 41-year-old washed-up mother of three?
48:52How would that make you feel?
48:53But before there's time for the dust to settle...
48:57Hey, how are ya?
49:00Hello.
49:00The love triangles are completed.
49:03Oh, no. Oh, my God.
49:06Hi.
49:06And the corners are sharper than ever.
49:10What the fuck is happening?
49:12This is, like, this is... this is a lot.
49:15This is a three-way triangle, officially.
49:17Have you never been rejected before?
49:19I'm out.
49:27I'm out.
49:29I'm out.
49:37I'm out.
