Oh my gosh, this looks so good.
So do you want to talk about what happened last night?
AMBER: My insecurity that I'm not a tall brunette.
DAVE: I'll leave that up to you, but I think if it's an issue,
then we should--
and you want to talk about it, then you should.
So Amber and I had a conversation last night
that did not go very well.
Amber asked me who my celebrity crush was,
and I told her Jessica Biel.
And Amber's response was, of course, well,
I don't look anything like Jessica Biel.
And it kind of just spiraled out of control from there.
This has been arguing about something I just
feel is ridiculous because I'm absolutely
sexually attracted to Amber.
I'm just worried, like, you're, like, disappointed,
like, when you saw me that I'm not, like,
what you had in mind.
I was open to--
whoever walked out that door, I was
going to be-- like, put my best foot forward and be supportive
and welcoming.
But what I can't change is what I said before I met you, which,
like, you know wasn't a blonde. It wasn't.
It's just always in the back of my mind.
Before I first heard he liked tall brunettes,
it's just worried me, like is he attracted to me,
or is it just because he's just around me all the time.
So I think, just because I'm more invested now,
and how attracted I am to him, I just hope
that he feels the same way.
I don't know why I'm having a hard time.
Unfortunately, it's all too common for people
to let minor physical details prevent them from finding
their happily ever after.
The whole idea of "Married at First Sight"
is to see if, by starting with commitment,
we help these couples avoid the issues that might derail
them if they were only dating.

The other night, Dave and I had a conversation that
was very upsetting, and I haven't been able to stop
thinking about it since then.
Dr. Pepper is coming over, and hopefully she can find
a way to help us through this.
[music playing]
So where do you feel the challenges are?
[music playing]
Going into this experiment, you know how we talk about who
we are naturally attracted to.
So I pretty much described Dave.
But it came up that he said he's usually
attracted to tall brunettes.
So I've just been paranoid for a while about it.
You're having a sexual relationship.
Mhm, we are.
And that sounded like it was a frequent sexual relationship.
AMBER: Yeah.
Yeah, so I mean, I feel desired.
So I don't know.
I don't know why that is stuck in my head.
And we knew that he was interested in tall, darker
women, but we obviously thought there
were way more important things he wanted that you were.
And of course, we did know that he
would want somebody very attractive,
but of course, you are.
And you don't want to undermine yourself
by really needless worries.
I think everyone has insecurities.
Hopefully, it's something we can move beyond,
because there are a lot of things
that I really like about Amber.
And I'm involved in this process.
I'm committed to going through them with her.
I'm committed to finding the reasons that we were put
together and latching onto those,
rather than latching onto the negatives.
I do care about you deeply.
I think we're on a great path together
and that, you know, I just--
I am happy that it's you, and I care about you a lot.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
So I think just accept that as real.
AMBER: Yeah. That makes me feel a lot better.
My insecurity of not being Dave's type
will kind of be there for a while,
but after talking with Dr. Pepper,
I feel better about it because maybe he
says he has a type because that's just who he's
dated in the past, and he really didn't
know who was right for him.
And the fact that they put us together
based on things other than the way that we look
is what really matters.
You're off to a great start.
DAVE: Yeah.
A great start, truly. DAVE: Thank you.
(SINGING) Now all that I see is how you complete me,
and it's time now I steer myself on home.
