Episode Nineteen:

This episode was full of tears, drama and a little bit of love. Firstly, we were able to join our two new couples on their honeymoons.

Tamara and Dan grow closer as Tamara opened up about the passing of her mother. The two spent most of the honeymoon fighting their sexual urges and overall seemed to be growing well.

Susie and Billy were honeymooning in New South Wales and were off to a bit of a bumpy start. Susie is feeling overwhelmed and uncomfortable about how dotting and emotional her new partner is, and she even calls him out on it. Her honesty ends up bringing them closer, but there is still a bit of tension in the air.

It is the one-month anniversary for our original couples, and many are celebrating. Ning and Mark take to the park to re-shoot their wedding photographs, replacing the original with images where they both look genuinely happy. The shoot is adorable, and Ning expresses that it is the single most romantic thing that anyone has ever done for her. Swoon.

Now, to the drama. Cyrell is confronted with a rumour that her husband Nic had been feeling up Jess under the table at the last dinner party. The rumour was started by Martha, and Cyrell is quick to jump to action. First, she confronts Jess, who insists it was just an innocent patt of support, she then jumps to Martha. Things go from zero to a hundred very quickly, with Cyrell losing her temper and Martha just laughing in her face, claiming that she is overreacting. The result is a physical confrontation, a broken bowl and an apparently severed marriage between Nic and Cyrell.

Nic and Cyrell end up being spoken to by one of the experts, where Cyrell admits that she has terrible abandonment issues, and it is heart-breaking to see her so truly upset. It seems as though Martha and Jess had a little too much fun in the rumour mill and targeted someone, they were sure to get a reaction from. But despite this, Cyrell is still made to apologise to Martha, which is about as awkward and pointless as you would expect.

Cutest Moment of the Episode:

Mike and Heidi were attempting to ride a two-seater bicycle. The two are flailing about in the most adorable manner.

Most Hilarious Moment of the Episode:

Ning wears a flower in her hair for her photoshoot with Mark. She ends up placing it in her husband’s hair, telling him how beautiful it looks on him but then screams as she notices a worm which has been there the whole time. Her horror at discovering the tiny creature was comedy gold.
