- Hey, it's Pastor Cal. Hit the jab.
- Cheers! Thank you!
- And Dr. Pepper. Let's talk about sex.
- [laughs]
- You are, from this moment, engaged.
- I think I'm tearing up.
- This is "Married at First Sight: Relationship Rewind."
♪ ♪
Each week, Dr. Pepper and I watch a clip
from the latest episode of "Married at First Sight."
And we're gonna give you our honest, no-BS reactions.
- This will be the very first time
that we're seeing this footage.
- We're gonna be watching
Kirsten's spa night for Shaquille,
and from what we understand,
it was everything except relaxing.
- Let's see it.

- Hello, honey. - Hi.
- Oh, that's nice. Hug at the beginning there.
Smiles. - Hello, honey.
- Yeah, he's looking at the glasses.
- Relaxation.
A spa-cation.
- Got candles. - That's nice.
- All this for me? - Mm-hmm.
- Now, that's a nice show of appreciation.
- Ahh. This is great.
- I hope you love everything about it.
- It looks good, it feels good, it smells good.
You look good. I'm good.
- Mm-kay. He's up for it. - All right.
- Look at him come out like, "Here I am."
- Hold it right there.
She has a little sultry thing going on, doesn't she?
- Yeah, that look in that frame was like...
[clicking tongue] - Yeah. Oh, yeah.
- Yeah? I like it. - Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
I love this.
I love this, because remember earlier,
he was needing this affirmation.
- Yes, right, right.
- He was needing her to do this.
I so appreciate the fact that she's going out of her way
to show him that she is attracted to him,
that she does want him, that she's affirming him.
That's good stuff. Let's go.
- I appreciate him, and I wanna take things
to the next level today.
Do you wanna tell me one thing about you
that I don't know?
- That's a big question.
- Okay. I'll--I'll say this. - Mm-hmm.
- Um...
I have insecurity issues about who I am...
- Interesting. - Hmm.
- Um, how I was raised, what I want out of life.
Like, I always known myself to be different
'cause I didn't play sports or,
like, I was insecure about the scar on my forehead.
- Question is how she's gonna respond to this.
- Right.
- I think that you're an amazing man.
You are handsome, and you are striving for excellence,
and it looks good on you.
- Oh, I love this. - You go, girl.
I love that. - Stop it. Perfect answer.
- That's beautiful. - Perfect answer.
- So far, so good.
I wasn't expecting him to be that vulnerable.
This time, she came back with a very, very kind
and loving and affirming response.
- Yeah, she's into him now. - Yeah.
- I thought that was as supportive
as she could possibly have been,
and they must-- there's a lot more trust
that's obviously developed in this couple.
- Yeah. - I'm liking this a lot.
- Yeah, so far, so good. Let's keep playing.
- Just tell me something about yourself
that, you know, I don't know.
- Mm...
it's probably--I mean, it's tons of things
about me that you don't know.
Um... - Well, why?
- Keep it--keep it romantic.
- Sometimes I can be quiet and be in my shell.
- But that--but that's something I know.
So tell me something else.
- Oh, come on. Don't make it hard for her.
- I don't know, like, it's not really
too much more to know about me.
- It's--you just said it's a lot.
- She's worried about-- about getting deeper.
- Okay, yeah, 'cause he's-- he's needling her.
He's pushing her. - He's pushing her.
You're right, but I also know what he's thinking is,
"Hey, I just dropped a big bundle of vulnerability,
"and what am I getting?
I'm not getting something equal."
Now, he should back off at this point.
- Yeah, he should. Yeah. - I agree.
But I understand where it came from.
- Yeah, but understand also that the entire evening
is her being vulnerable, you know?
She's going out of her way to do something nice for him.
- I agree.
- Okay, let's see it, let's see it.
- I honestly don't want Decision Day to come
and I'm still feeling how I do now.
- Oh, God. - Jesus!
- I don't want Decision Day to come
and you still feel that way, either.
- Hold up.
He's now--he's lecturing her. - Yeah.
He is, and he's bringing up the big guns.
I mean, Decision Day. - Yeah.
- You know, come on.
- This is not the situation
to come with that kind of firepower.
But they can talk about some things
that are going to foster more intimacy,
and I know that he thinks that that's what he's doing
by his line of questioning, but it's not.
- I agree.
- Boy, this didn't--this is not turning out well, is it?
- Didn't go well. - Yeah.
Let's see. Let's finish it.
- Decision Day is gonna come,
and I have to be honest with myself
that I can move forward in this marriage we're making
and work without the experts being here,
without the other couples being here,
when it's just us two.
And I'm not confident right now that it's gonna.
- Yeah. - [scoffs]
- Thanks for being patient with me
and working and rocking through this together.
- That's kind, isn't it? - It is kind.
She looks sad.
Stop it.
I think one of Shaquille's problems is,
he catastrophized, you know?
He catastrophizes--
"We're not here; therefore, we're over there.
Therefore, the relationship isn't gonna work."
- There's no middle ground.
- I wanna teach these people about how to recover.
You know, it's kind of like, "You know,
here's where we're at. We don't have to be here."
- Yes, yes. - You know?
- I think that she, at the very end,
she was trying to do that. - She tried to reset.
- She was trying to reset, she was trying to recover
by offering this olive branch.
"Thank you so much for being patient with me."
- Which he wasn't being. - He was not being.
But even with that, she was giving him grace.
- Yeah, she was, she was giving him grace.
I agree. - Yeah.
And she's admitting here
that she has growing that she needs to do,
and it's--I hope that he can be patient enough to see that
and work through it. - I do too.
But a couple has to recognize each other's different pace
and then figure out what their own pace could be.
- Absolutely so.
- We'll see. - Well, we'll see what happens.
Well, that's all the time we have
for this "Relationship Rewind."
- We'll see you next time.
