I've been really nervous leading up to today, but then I woke up this morning
and all I feel is excitement nick is gonna be meeting my family and my family
is the biggest part of my life I really hope at the end of today that
we can you know see himself as part of the family and you know I can see him
being part of it too
here we are crack and day and I'm on so Tom Graham
I really like Soph because she's a classic Ozzy bird girl next door but she
does struggle with opening up and telling me how she feels so part of
coming to save his hometown is to see if she opens up more in this environment
with family around you know it's pretty important that we do that in order
progress because it's getting to crunch time morning good to see ya yeah it's
good to see you today tell me
showing him but sunny Queensland how bad up so I can say while you're the way
small ooh this joint it's good hey yeah yeah you look by tippy-top today thank
you good well dressed for it I've no idea
what we're doing either so this could be I was just gonna say so
as you're aware I love the water whether we're fishing or jet skiing or boating
or whatever love it all that's buddy that's a good upbringing yeah it's good
so today we're gonna go out the water let's do it let's go Nick and I always
have fun together and we share our love for adventure so I thought today we
could go jet skiing okay
what is just made out of my loss since I can remember
sorry they have to experience that with me he's liking sharing a bit of made my
family with him we're gonna hold
being about the Sophie is she brings out the youthful silly side in me
she just gets hit and has a go and a woman who goes full throttle of life
might be the woman for me we've finished the warm-up so now the aim of the game
is to get Nick off the doughnut strange the drink
I am having so much fun and it feels so comfortable to be able to share
something like this with Nick I really believe what Nick and I have is strong
enough to create an amazing relationship
then fun I can't wipe the smile off my face and I'm really hoping that it gets
even better with Nick meeting my family
here we are yeah so Nick is going to be meeting my mum my dad my twin sister
Melissa my older sister Ashley and Ashley's fiance Ben we are a very
close-knit family and my sisters are my best friends so it is almost like a
make-or-break for me because I just need that tick of approval getting there guys
here in the middle
after the initial greetings we went over and sat on the cache this is Casey rule
huddled in there I'm mean that close to people since my last halftime huddle how
was your day like cracking day amazing well I'll tell
you what I was packing darkies there for a bit I was on the water there so from
that on the jet ski and you let her dry oh my god I really had to face some
fears there today here we are
it's off to a really good start meek is such a Larkin and she's quite charming
so I just have this feeling that you're gonna love him
Sonique are you a Brisbane boy yeah so
sort of reason we get along it's we you guys are wrong I could definitely see
myself fitting him with his family the humor the love from the family it's all
awesome and okay I warm to a straightaway because I've experienced
similar things his hands on bone play on the fifth thing things again well but
one of the sisters Ashley not buying it at all and I've got a funny feeling I'm
being lined up Nick Melissa and I might either give us a hand with okay yeah
dramas all right Sophie Melissa and I are all best friends and we're very
involved in each other's lives so I would like to find out from Nick is
he genuinely invested in this because Sophie's feelings are on the line if we
talk sir it's just for a second yeah why Sophie why have you kept her around all
this time how I'm emotionally invested are you in this
do you see your future together holy hell the floodgates open it goes on do
you feel the same way about all them some more than others every girl is
different and my connections are based on who they are and who I am and what on
what levels to weaken it and yes it's different with every girl they all I
wish yeah like what does she need to do to get to the end with you
there is one thing and that was to do with expressing emotion or feeling of
course had trouble with that yeah it is important in this environment that we're
in where you do have to kind of put it on the table yeah that is easy for you
to say because you're in the seat where you get to choose I think yes putting
ourselves in Sophia's position she got to have a bit of guard about you because
otherwise you're just leaving yourself open to get hurt I suppose yeah it is a
scary thought that Sophie might not be the one at the end now that we've met
him and it's real we really don't want to see her get heartbroken it's a tough
fight it's because there is full that's right and there is gonna be some
sad I have to be the one that makes they
caught and create service my biggest doubt about
the relationship at the moment is that Nick isn't as invested as Sophia's so
what do you guys reckon I would love to know if the girls can see Nick being
part of our family because that is what's most important to me he's a
smooth talker yeah I mean I get around questions it's good comment yeah which
we understood it kind of sounded like you might want you to let you go down a
little bit more yeah how do you do that I don't know yeah it's hard because
there's still four of you yeah and it's a competition but that's what he needs
from his end is what he's saying you need to just put it your guard down okay
yeah this whole thing scared me you know from
the beginning and it just keeps getting scarier it's very difficult for me to
let my guard down because I don't want to get hurt but I really do really
really like Nick so I'm gonna try my hardest and I'm just hoping that that's
enough so did you have fun of course real lovely you just like
blended into the family just then to be honest and I just had moments where I
step back I was like it just seems so easy it just seems really natural and
that um I can't why that it did say that there it's not and if I just take all of
this crappy barrier stuff down just for a second I just put it
um just yeah I just thoroughly enjoy spending time with you
ah I just can't do it
I just hate being in this sort of situation thank you for the day
it was amazing thank you
I want to give my alternate because my feelings for him are really really
strong and I know that we could have something amazing good luck but insane
tonight I'm just so scared of being heartbroken
at the end of this Nick something gonna pick one person so I'm gonna be a
realist and protect myself and that's why I have these emotional barriers up
and they're not gonna come down until like Nick chooses me I guess
I'm not someone that's gonna just put my heart on a plate and pass it to him when
there's other girls involved
and yeah I'm hoping that that doesn't cost me in the end
you
