Love, Marriage and Reality TV

Mick insults Jess's family, and Jess sets her sights on Dan at the dinner party. Heidi finds another reason why she and Mike won't make it. Cyrell and Nic and moving back in together after a successful home visit. Jules and Cam are as in love and happy as always. And for some reason, Susie and Billy are still together.

Newlyweds Billy and Susie and Tamara and Dan move in to their apartment. At the committment ceremony, Mel and Dino both call it quits. Mick says leave and Jess says stay and Nic says leave and Cyrell says stay, so they are both in for another week. John, the expert, tells off Susie for belittling Billy. Next we have home stays, where the couples go to the see their male partners' homes. Billy and...

New copies Tamara and Dan and Billie and Susie are on their honeymoons. Cyrell comes for Martha after Martha asks Nick if he flirted with Jess at the last dinner party. At the dinner party, Melissa reveals that Dino recorded a conversation she had with her sister, Jess tells Nick she has feelings for him and Nick puts her off and finally Jess sights her sights on Dan, being completely obvious abou...

It's the most dramatic committment cermony, with Ines and Sam's shenanigans being exposed (partially). All the copies stay except for Ines and Bronson and Sam and Elizabeth. Then we are introduced to two new couples, Tamara and Dan, and Susie and Billy. We learn Susie's daughter's name is Baby, and Billy's nerves may tank this relationship before it can even get started.

The couples are wrapping up their Gold Coast Trip, but not before ladies' night and gentleman's night. Elizabeth returns and rumors about Sam and Ines fly. Then at the dinner party, Mike and Heidi's relationship gets shaky, Ines and Sam deny the rumorsof their fling, Bronson is obliviously happy, and Ines gets a little taste of karma.

Lots of drama as we lose the first couple in the experiment. Ines and Sam are still plotting to hook up, while Bronson enjoys the positive direction Ines and his relationship is going. Jules and Cam still in love, blah, blah, blah.

Okay, we screwed up on our first try at recapping episodes 11 & 12. Lesson learned: don't record the podcast while hungover. Anyway, this is our re-do, which, is possibly better than the first?

We have arrived at the first committment ceremony where Ines is awful and Bronson drops the c-word. Then the couples move in together, and Ines contacts Sam on social media trying to hook up.

The honeymoons for Martha and Michael, Ines and Bronson and Lauren and Matthew are coming to a close. Martha and Michael are getting closer, Lauren punches Matthew's v-card after a night in the hospital brings them closer together, and Ines still hates Bronson. The second half brings us to the first dinner party with a surprise appearance by Sam.

We meet the succubus bride, Ines, and her poor, unsuspecting ex-stripper husband, Bronson. As a palate cleanser, we see the "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" of Martha and Michael.

Make-up artist Lauren, and virgin Matthew are married. Despite awkward, spontaneous wedding singing, they seem to be off to a good start. On the otherhand, trainwreck Lizzie and Sam make it one night before he's flying out of the country.

We are on to the honeymoons for the first six couples. Two out of six may NOT end in a fiery crash. Pretty good odds for MAFSA.

We meet Heidi & Mike, who have instant chemistry, and Ning & Mark, who have whatever the opposite of chemistry is - indifference, revulsion?

Our hopes for real couples are dashed, but our hopes for great reality TV are realized when we meet the next to couples, model Jessica & farmer Nick and celibate talent agent Mel & fake new age guru Dino.

We meet our first couples, Jules & Cameron and Nick & Cyrell, and wonder if there might actually be some real couples this season.
