“Hey guys! Today I’m gonna show you one of my FAVOURITE looks EVER!” Janelle beams to her half-million followers on TikTok.
Her voice is peppy and her pores are non-existent, however the gap in her coronary heart is gaping — nearly as if it has been exfoliated away by an AHA/BHA acid serum.
Nonetheless, her on-line followers don’t learn about Janelle’s emotional turmoil. They’re too busy marvelling at her hair flip demonstration.
After an extended, arduous day of make-up vlogging, Janelle desires to know that she will come residence to a person who works simply as tirelessly.
“I want someone who has a really good, stable career,” she tells us.
Now looks as if a very good time to fulfill the man she’s matched with. Adam is a 35-year-old gentleman who wears Politix fits and chunky gold watches whereas speaking nonsense about whiskey.
Uh-oh. We see guys like him on a regular basis on this present. They’re all the identical. Adam is an-
“Entrepreneur,” he informs us.
Entrepreneurs are the worst. It’s only a fancy means of claiming they’re a man who sits round listening to “get rich quick” podcasts whereas re-posting motivational quote memes on Instagram about how they’re a boss and a baller.
“I’m an entrepreneur with my own online start-up I founded over in London with a business partner,” Adam tells us. “It is in the crypto space. I’m tryna build myself a little empire. And I’ve got some really big plans for this business.”
Seems like this imprecise, non-specific enterprise goes to take the world by storm. Be careful Richard Branson!
The glitz and glamour of Adam’s life turns into an excessive amount of for us to deal with, so we jet off to examine in with Bronte and Harrison on their honeymoon. Final time we noticed them, Bronte’s mate Jess was derailing the wedding by accusing Harrison of having a secret girlfriend exterior the experiment. Tonight, new claims come to mild.
Bronte receives an pressing FaceTime name from her sister Kira, who breathlessly presents a twist: Jess solely unfold that hearsay on the wedding ceremony as a result of she was aggravated she wasn’t requested to be a bridesmaid.
Archived footage reveals Jess sitting behind the bridesmaids on the ceremony, trying bitter and vengeful. You may mainly see the scheme formulating in her head.
“Jess has had a conversation with the bridal party stating that she was confused as to why she wasn’t a bridesmaid,” Kira says.
Bronte takes it in her stride.
“So she stirred up sh*t with my new husband of just two hours because she couldn’t handle the fact this wasn’t about her?!” she screams. “She gets so much attention — I don’t understand the problem. This is MY day. Everyone gets their own wedding day! Why are you making this about you! And my poor husband has been absolutely annihilated!”
Bronte now wholeheartedly believes Harrison is nice and pure. This can be utterly reversed in a matter of days, when yet one more piece of proof is uncovered and the wedding implodes for the third time in per week.
“Jess just bombarded our entire day for five minutes of fame,” Bronte fumes. “Like, there’s other ways to do that.”
Yeah! Like getting married on a actuality present.
In the meantime, the consultants introduce a Gen Z couple to the experiment — primarily to make sure there’s at all times somebody on set to repair their iPhones.
Tahnee is a 27-year-old PR supervisor from Sydney who’s fed up with the fashionable relationship world.
“No one’s honest with their intentions online and on the apps,” she tells professional Mel Schilling.
Effectively, Tahnee, you’ve come to the appropriate place. This esteemed program has a powerful monitor report of honesty and pure intentions.
She’s matched with a man known as Ollie, who makes use of his vows to speak about how typically he orders Uber Eats. Their attraction is prompt.
“I’m sweating so bad — can you smell me?” she grins to him as they stride hand-in-hand down the aisle after being pronounced husband and spouse.
It’s the type of love all of us lengthy for.
Over at Janelle and Adam’s wedding ceremony, issues are getting slightly extra sinister.
“I haven’t lived a perfect life — I’ve done things I regretted,” Adam says in his vows. “I’ve made mistakes. And I’ve lost myself along the way. But they’ve all taught me lessons.”
Ominous. What might he be referring to? Hopefully not something too seriou-
“I think he’s been arrested.” certainly one of Janelle’s brothers declares.
However Adam’s doubtlessly darkish previous is the furthest factor from Janelle’s thoughts. She’s extra involved with attending to the underside of what precisely an entrepreneur does.
“You said you ran a business?” she squints as they arrive on the reception.
He nods confidently. “Over in the UK, me and my mate started up our competition business,” he says. “It’s, like, online. And we have, like, cool prizes — like, TVs and tickets to festivals.”
So, to make clear: He collects used TVs from Council Kerbside Assortment after which raffles them off on the web for a small revenue. However that’s not all.
“I was also gonna launch a podcast. I really wanna do that,” he nods.
Wow. All of that makes full sense. No follow-up questions from us.
“I don’t know exactly what his career is,” says the make-up vlogger.
To make issues worse, Adam retains strolling round to Janelle’s household and saying issues that make it sound like he simply obtained out of the large home.
“I haven’t lived the perfect life,” he shakes his head. “I am who I am. But I know what’s right and wrong.”
Janelle’s two brothers resolve to interrogate him and unravel his darkish previous. For defense, they’ve introduced a shiv that has been crudely carved out of a toothbrush. Then they ask Adam point-blank about his troubles and whether or not he’s about to be the topic of an upcoming sequence of Underbelly.
Seems, Adam hasn’t been to jail. Phew! However he did cheat on his ex-girlfriend. The brothers warn Janelle however she’s nonetheless attempting to come back to phrases along with her new husband’s absurd profession.
“Currently, he’s doing some kind of competition-giveaway-website thing. Oh, and he also wants to do a podcast,” she furrows her forehead.
“Is that … stable?” one brother asks.
“Hustler’s University,” the opposite feedback.
Janelle confronts Adam and digs for extra solutions. Does he have, like, a LinkedIn profile she will view?
“For me, I’m a big believer in manifestation and all that type of stuff and I just believe that what you’re meant to have is what you’re supposed to have, when you’re supposed to have it. I want good things — I know they’re comin’ for me.”
He positively learn that on a motivational quote meme.
Janelle seems down. “Mmmm,” she sighs.
The subsequent morning, within the harsh mild of day, the strain grows. Janelle is much more involved — and Adam nonetheless doesn’t have an actual job.
“You told me what you do for work but you’ve never gone into details about what you do for work. … Can you tell me?” she asks him as they get up.
Janelle, we actually don’t perceive why you’re struggling to wrap your thoughts round this. He raffles TVs on the web. He’s mainly the CEO of JB Hello-Fi.
Adam sighs and re-explains his profession. “A friend of mine, we started a little competition business. We’ve sorta put it a bit on the backburner at the minute but that’s definitely gonna be somethin’ I’m gonna pick up as soon as we get outta here.”
Janelle rubs her brow. “So … currently, do you have ANY stream of income?”
Adam shoots up off the bed. “What … are you worried I don’t have money or something?”
Yeah Janelle. You appear slightly sceptical concerning the wildly profitable on-line raffle business.
Adam can’t consider his new spouse would query his validity as an entrepreneur. Has she not seen the Politix swimsuit?
“I’ve told her what I’ve done for work and what my profession is! She knows exactly what I do!” he fumes to us. “She’s a hundred per cent stuck in her own head. It’s definitely not attractive to me at all. It’s actually a bit of a turn off.”
Proper on! As payback, it is best to troll her make-up vlog.
“She’s treatin’ me like I got no money — like I’m just sleepin’ bus stop to bus stop.”
Yeah! It’s loopy. As if he lives at a bus cease, Janelle! The place the hell would he hold all of the televisions he’s raffling off?
Fortunately, not all of the weddings are ending in doom and gloom. Ollie and Tahnee are in absolute heaven collectively. They jet off on their honeymoon to Fiji and shortly realise they’ve so much in frequent. Like, they’ve each by no means seen a world map.
“Fiji! Is it, like, past Bali and stuff?” Tahnee muses. “I feel like … it’s up in that area … that region.”
Ollie nods. “Yeah it’s north … yeah … like, north … north west … slightly above there.”
Whereas bonding over their love of geography, one factor results in one other and so they seal the deal on their marriage. The producers demand Tahnee discuss it in a piece-to-camera interview the next morning.
“Yeah, we were both really chuffed about it,” she beams.
Wow. That’s stunning. And, actually, who isn’t happy after they get … happy?
