Five new couples met with a first kiss.
She's a beautiful girl. It was perfect.
# ..wanna, wanna, wanna Get, get, get what I want
# Don't stop... # Some relationships thrived
whilst others did not survive. Ahh!
Do you feel like you don't want to be with me?
# Don't even talk about the consequence... #
I'm never that girl!
# Cos you're the only thing that's making any sense to me... #
Where are you kind of at?
I do wish there was a bit more raw sexual attraction from my part.
Maybe I'm just looking for a princess
and she's giving prince.
And just when the girls were finding their feet...
I'm attracted to you. Very much. GIGGLING
I do feel, like, quite connected to Meg.
Classic Amy move where she starts getting crushes for her friends.
Do you get that with someone? Mm. I get it with you sometimes.
..the path to love took an unexpected turn.
Hi.
CHEERING
These pillars, they were chosen by three new girls.
Oh!
Girls!
Shut up! Oh, my God.
Oh! Shut UP!
What the hell?!
Welcome to I Kissed A Girl.
Well, girls, now you've all made your choice,
I have something to tell you.
I didn't choose these pillars.
They were chosen by three new girls...
GASPING
Oh, why?! Oh, my God.
..who are about to enter the Masseria... Ahh!
..right... Shut up!
..now. Oh, no!
I am GAGGED!
Girls!
Woohoo!
MUSIC: Are You Gonna Be My Girl by Jet
All right, we're good.
My name's Lailah and I used to play football professionally.
My name's Beth and I'm a paralegal from Bath.
My name's Em and I'm a scientist from Surrey.
# So one, two, three Take my hand and come with me
# Because you look so fine that I really wanna make you mine... #
Queer dating scene, I find that everyone's dated each other.
Everyone knows everyone
and everyone's best friends with their ex.
# Four, five, six Come on and get you kicks
# Now, you don't need money when you look like that, do you, honey? #
I've been dating, dating, dating
but I haven't found anyone yet.
These masc girls are like gold dust. Where are they hiding?
I've had a very fun year dating lots of lovely girls.
That sounds bad.
Girls often think that I'm a pillow princess -
someone who just doesn't do any work in the bedroom -
but I love to make my partner feel great.
Can't wait to get in there and hopefully someone wants to kiss me.
All right. Let's find myself a wife.
# Be my girl... #
Hiya.
LAUGHTER
The shock of my life. There was three.
Three new girls.
# I said, are you gonna be my girl? #
Hey, girls. Hi. Welcome to the Masseria.
When I seen the girls come in, bloody loved it.
And then my next kind of thought, if I'm being honest, was, like,
"Does Meg fancy any of them?"
I'd like you to go and stand by your pillar now.
LAUGHTER
I like the way she looks like she's my type to a tee.
So, Lailah, why is communication key for you?
Because I think no matter what you and your partner are going through,
if you can talk it out, then usually it ends up being all right.
She seems confident. Like, she's just cool as a cucumber.
Em, adventure is key for you. Yeah, it is.
So just someone free-spirited, ready, up for a laugh
and just, yeah, open to travel.
Em is a darling!
I think she's got a gorgeous face.
Beth, sexual chemistry.
For me, it's one of the things that differentiates it
from being really good friends.
Takes it out of the friend zone. I get you.
As you'll see, for the new girls, you're not alone,
and what better way to get to know them than with a date?
Ooh!
So, Lailah, Em and Beth, I will let you choose someone
who's standing next to the pillar that you're at.
# Do what you want Say what you want... #
I will go for...
..you.
Fiorenza!
OK.
Me and Fi are just getting close
and bloody Beth goes and asks her out on a date.
But I don't blame her. I mean, Fi is hot as...hell.
Er, I'd like to take this girl on a date tonight, please. OK.
Abbie, meet Em. Em, meet Abbie. You're going on date night tonight.
# Yes! #
I'm excited to go on a date. It's pretty cool, to be fair.
I would like to take on a date...
..this girl. Cara, meet Lailah.
# Ooh-ooh! #
I hope it starts, like, raining and storming
and they're just sat outside with no shelter.
Woohoo!
Right, girls, I hope you enjoy your dates this evening. I'm excited!
MUSIC: Evacuate The Dancefloor
by Cascada
I'm out of here. Bye! Ciao!
# Turn up the music Let's get out on the floor... #
Welcome, honey.
Three new girls, three first dates.
But first... Sit wherever you please.
..one big lesbian boat that's about to be rocked.
They're all gorgeous girls.
You know, Em, she's got those piercing blue eyes.
You've got Lailah, who's just beautiful.
And then you have Beth, another gorgeous femme.
Who doesn't love a femme? We love a femme!
How are you all feeling?
Excited. Weird.
Excited for the fresh meat.
Just excited to get to know them, to make sure that they feel welcome.
What's, like, the vibe with the couples? Are people...?
There's the couples... Some couples are coupling
and some couples are flirting. OK. I'm with Cara.
I'm sorry.
LAUGHTER
And you're both footballers. Ooh!
Ahh! Stop. Sorry.
What position?
Er, centre back or left back.
Centre back. Oh, OK!
LAUGHTER DROWNS SPEECH
It seems like me and Georgia have a lot in common.
We both play football.
And the fact that I've chosen her girl to go on a date is not great.
What are your guys' types?
Typically, I go for more feminine-looking women
with, like, kind of a tomboy edge.
My type is definitely more masc vibe, short hair, tattoos...
Tick, tick, tick! Yeah!
LAUGHTER
I'm wearing this long-sleeved top and I just started rolling it up.
I was like...
Fiorenza, the fast mover.
I thought you were into Amy!
Everyone that I've dated looks a bit different, so... OK.
More on the person and whether they're fun, outgoing,
just can have a laugh and just a bit genuine.
Like... OK. Love that.
Literally a kid in a candy shop. Everyone's good-looking.
Too much choice. Too much choice.
We'll see how it unfolds.
Fun, guys!
MUSIC: Just Can't Get Enough by Depeche Mode
# And I just can't get enough I just can't get enough... #
Get yourselves comfortable, girls.
You're so wet!
Maybe not that comfortable, Lisha.
Did I make you wet, baby?
Abbie's just across the pool.
Oh!
LISHA LAUGHS
WHISPERING:
Ooh... They don't care. Oh, they are sitting...
Yeah.
Disrespected.
I'm such an overthinker. No, you're not an overthinker.
You're just thinking the way that everyone would normally think.
Lish and Meg are all over each other right in front of me.
It does make you feel shit.
I guess that it could be just a friendship thing,
but I would just rather know
if it's a bit more than that.
Don't overthink it.
OOHING AND AAHING
I think you call that pose the flying lesbian.
# That don't impress me much... #
Well, Abbie, maybe tonight's date with Em
might take your mind off things -
though I can't quite say the same for Amy.
I am slightly jealous that Beth and Fi are going on a date.
I think I'd regret it if I didn't, kind of...
..say to Fi what I was feeling.
I have a wee crush on Fiorenza.
FI LAUGHS
Do you have a wee crush on me? Maybe a wee crush.
AMY SUCKS HER TEETH
Maybe not.
No, but I did hear that... I have a wee crush. Oh!
Do you? Yeah, maybe a wee crush. Maybe a wee crush.
But, yeah. Yeah, that's what...I'm feeling.
Is that what you're feeling? That's what I'm feeling.
Friends with benefits?
LAUGHTER
Amy's not, like, my usual type at all, but...
We've built up this friendship and, like, we do flirt a lot
and it's kind of like, "Where is this going?"
Hope you have a shit day.
Do you need help up?
Yeah, I do.
# Your love invention Got my attention now... #
These new girls are definitely creating a buzz...
I'm so excited for my date. I can't wait to get to know Fiorenza.
It's going to be good.
..but is everyone buzzing about them?
I wasn't bothered about the new girls.
I know where me and Eva stand, so I wasn't worried.
This is nice. Nice.
A bit of me. Bit of you!
# We can be anything that we want... #
What's your thoughts on Beth? Like, do you find her attractive?
GASPING
Oh, my God, you really like her!
How do you feel about Amy now? Do you think there's still
potential there with the friendship base? Yeah, honestly, I do.
I have a wee bit of a crush on Amy.
And she told me that she had a crush on me.
Oh... I can't deal with... Nah. Oh, this is... This is a lot.
Lesbian drama is so confusing. This is a lot.
No, but I don't think it's drama. I think cos we've just always
been flirty with each other, so... Yeah. Go on this date with Beth
and just see if the chemistry there is... Yeah. ..talking-wise. Yeah.
And I think that'll help you decide between Meg and Beth.
Yeah. And then just see where it goes from there, because....
No, Amy and Beth. Oh, sorry!
LAUGHTER
That chapter was closed.
Amy and Beth. Yeah.
You've got Fi, you've got Meg, you've got Amy,
you've got flippin' Beth. Oh, my God - I cannot keep up!
# I know you wanna go to the moon... #
OK, let me help.
Beth's off on a date with Fiorenza, who may still have a crush on Amy.
Cara has a date with Lailah,
and Abbie is getting glam for her date with Em.
I'll wear red lipstick tonight so you can tell
if I've had a kiss or not.
This is me keeping you on your toes. Is it working?
Part of me is like, just fucking treat it like...
No, this sounds awful, but treat it...
Treat it like you're not here. Take it as it looks, yeah.
And see what happens and then I'll definitely know. Ahh!
Who knows?
Sometimes, when I hang out with Lish and Meg,
I do feel like a third wheel.
So, yeah, I'm excited to go on a date
and, yeah, explore it a bit more with Em.
# ..la-la la-la-la-la-la Shake it till the pearls fall off. #
Ready for our date? Shall we go?
Shall we link? Oh, wait. Let's switch, let's switch, let's switch.
WHISPERING: What the fuck?
I fucking...
I hate this shit.
Like, I felt rattled and I felt weird.
I've been trying to, like, chill it out,
but then I'm like, "Am I chilling out too much?"
And not, like... Telling her, "I fucking love you." Yeah.
"I want your children." Yeah.
Cara being on a date with someone else
definitely makes me feel a bit weird.
I've always thought I'd be, like, chill about it, but...
..I don't feel very chill about it.
SIGHING
I'm actually feeling excited to go on a date.
I feel like I'm just going to have to pick up on the vibes.
I don't know how it's going to go.
# She's fresh! #
This is so cute.
This is so cute. We love!
POP!
Oh. Whoa!
POP!
Wahey!
You good?
That was so elegant. Oh, my gosh. So elegant, yeah. Just crouch down.
I got the vibe that Cara and Georgia are kind of like this,
but I'm going to test the waters with Cara.
If I feel like she's a bit flirty, then obviously I'll give it back.
Cheers. Eye contact. Oh, my God.
Come on. And you looked away! I can't do it!
I cannot do eye contact.
# She's fresh! #
Out of everyone here, you're definitely most my type.
Yeah, I'd say the same back to you.
I was waiting for someone like you to come in. Really?
Maybe a little bit.
BOTH LAUGH
What do you do for work? I am a scientist in cancer research.
Yeah, so I'm a microbiologist. I sit in the lab all day... Wow.
..with cells and, like, work on different cancer therapies.
So I actually went to uni to do sport and exercise science.
I'm quite sporty, as well.
Why are you laughing at that? I just love a sporty girl!
BOTH LAUGH
Abbie might like a sporty girl, but Lisha's not playing ball tonight.
She walked out of the room without saying bye. Really? Yeah.
It's something that I wouldn't do. Yeah.
And she's been saying some things like,
"I'm just going to pretend that you're not here
"and just see how it goes. Like, don't say it in front of me.
Yeah, I know. Do you know what I mean? Yeah.
And she was dead-arse serious, as well. Yeah.
# Don't feel like a girlfriend... #
I am anxious for Abbie to come back from her date.
I don't know what's happening.
Abbie is keeping me on my toes, definitely.
Let's figure out who's more adventurous. OK.
Would you go in the rocket ship up to space?
Yeah. Would you?
Would you? No! What?!
Would you jump out of a plane?
No. No? No!
I've already beaten you on adventurous.
EM LAUGHS
No, that's not fair!
Fair enough. We'll start again. Start again, start again.
The date was so lovely.
Em is an unreal girl. The conversation flowed.
Well, great, Abbie.
Looks like good convo is the key to a girl's heart around here.
# We can get it so right... #
I think knowing that you picked communication was really nice.
Yeah, I just want someone that I can talk to, I think.
Especially not just having superficial chat, like... Yeah!
Like, deep stuff, too. Yeah.
Like, I want to be able to actually open up.
We're not just always taking the piss. Yeah.
I came out when I was, like, 14. That was all fine. I was so lucky.
Like, you know... So you came out at 14? Mmmm.
You knew from a young age. Yeah!
You're, like, fully gay? Like... Yeah. I've got my gay card.
Your gay card, yeah.
BOTH LAUGH
Would you say you just want to put all your energy into Georgia or...?
I'd say she's definitely my focus right now.
It seems like Cara is definitely into Georgia.
It's definitely friend vibes.
I finished my Master's in law. Oh, so she's smart.
BETH LAUGHS
VOICEOVER: I'm a paralegal, so work involves shadowing solicitors.
But I love having fun, being stupid
and, yeah, just living for the moment.
You've got such a nice laugh, though. Really?
I feel like everyone's like... God, I sound like a witch's cackle.
Beth's whole vibe is
laid-back, chill vibe, but it's also, like, really
sexy at the same time.
Are you worried about the date that they're on?
Not worried, but, like...
A little bit jealous. A little bit green.
I think the telling thing would be, like,
if we kiss, like, if there's that...raw...
You know, like... Raw...
You can only tell if you've kissed. Wait! You haven't kissed yet? No.
BETH: I'm not a pillow princess. You're not?
Good.
BOTH LAUGH
When she said she wasn't a pillow princess,
I was like, "Tick!"
A gal's got needs as well, so...
MUSIC: Pussy Is God by King Princess
# You're extra-special Something else... #
So are we wrapping it up with a kiss?
Come here, then.
# Um Your pussy is god and you know I
# Think you're so cute when you get high
# I've never been good at this nice shit... #
GIGGLING
I feel like the kiss could have gone on all night,
but, um...we had to make moves.
# You're extra-special... #
BETH LAUGHS
# Or maybe it's you. #
I've got someone on my arm that I'm, like...I actually like.
And that actually, like...
I'm feeling it could go somewhere.
Come spill the tea!
My heart kind of sank when I saw Fiorenza come back
with Beth on her arm, and they were giggling
and they kind of sat down and, like, were all entwined in each other.
Guys, look who's back. Look who's back! Woohoo!
ALL: Hi!
How was the date?
Our date was good. Yeah, it was good, actually.
Like, good vibes. It was good. Yeah.
Cara's, like, the best, so...
Did anyone kiss?
Fi and Beth did.
Wait, what? Did you? Did you?
Did you see that? Huh? Did you see it? No, Fi told me!
Oh!
AMY: Not in a million years did I think they would have a kiss.
But maybe that was naive.
No, she just went like a little...
Ah! The look!
That's the eyebrows, innit? Yeah.
Uh, yeah. There was a wee bit of, like...
..awkwardness there between me and Amy.
Hi! You OK?
How was your lovely date?
Hey. Hello. Hiya.
Abs, you look unreal. Thanks, babe!
When I came in, I didn't immediately go straight over to Lish
cos Lish and Meg are very touchy-feely.
Come, sit. Come, sit. How was it?
Um, we had a cute date.
It was very romantic.
We just, um, sat, had a bit of prosecco. Yeah.
Happy-go-lucky. It was good.
I think we got a lot... lot to talk about. Yeah.
How did the date end? Like, a kiss or...?
No! What?
Straight in there! Naee!
I feel like my emotions are all over the place.
like, I don't know how I'm feeling.
And then these girls rock in,
and then they're with our girls on a date.
It's just really hard.
# There's a big black hole where my heart used to be... #
There were some good vibes there with Abbie, for sure,
but I think there was a bit of a lack of a romantic connection.
# No, it's not easy... #
I want to know about your date.
Ours was like a good vibe, but, like, friendly. So you...
I did feel like a kiss was going to happen.
So there was a vibe there?
Yeah, she's definitely attractive,
and, yeah, obviously had a kiss.
That's good. I feel like you've got
something to, like, build off of. Yeah.
The date with Fiorenza was really good.
There was lots of eye contact and we had a little kiss.
Hopefully there will be many more kisses to come.
As Beth dreams of more snogs,
Cara and Georgia have finally got the chance for a date debrief.
CARA: To be fair, she actually is really nice.
Like, she's like, really just... She seems cool.
So cool. Yeah. So cool.
But friends. Friends.
Yeah. Fair.
So what's your thoughts? Feelings?
I was rattled, but, like, I knew she was going to pick you.
I don't know why I thought I'd be chill about it,
but then I felt like that made me realise that, like, I do like you,
cos, like, I don't want to...like, be too much,
cos I am fucking sensitive as shit.
Mm.
WHISPERS: I'm going to cry!
Aww.
And like, I don't...like, I don't like crying at all.
And then sometimes I think I've said something but I actually haven't.
Do you know what I mean? Yeah.
So, like, in my head I've already told you that I like you,
but I actually haven't. Do you know what I mean? Mm.
I feel like Georgia was vulnerable tonight and that...
That definitely, I'd say, has brought us closer together.
I'm glad we talked about this.
I don't think I've been, like, hiding from my feelings but, like,
I've not, like, been addressing them either.
I think I just need to keep, like, actually saying how I feel,
like, all the time.
# That you are a part of me
# And I am a part of you
# That you are a part of me. #
AMY: What are you saying, then?
What am I saying? Yeah. Um...
You forgotten about me?
We have such, like, flirty banter all the time. Mm-hm.
Like, that's the...
I think that's, like, the foundation of what we have. Yeah.
And, like, part of me is like...
..if we... Don't want to ruin that friendship vibe.
Yeah, if we cross it.
It's weird because, obviously, like, I had that wee date with...
Is it, like...? ..with Beth and I'm feeling, like...
..a bit giddy.
I feel like Fiorenza's eyes are locked on Beth.
Obviously I really get along with Fiorenza, so it's just kind of
sad that we don't get to explore where that goes -
for now, anyway.
What if we cross that barrier and then, like...
..we don't get that flirty teasing back? Yeah.
I think I've just got a rejection thing, you know? Classic.
It keeps happening.
So what are you thinking?
Um... What am I thinking? You'll always fancy me?
Yeah, I'll always fancy you, babes.
The situation has definitely made me feel like I'm second best
to the new, fresh meat, you know.
I'm old meat.
You'd think I'd have a thicker skin, but...
..I guess not.
# Now the silence is part of me and you. #
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder...
# I never thought you knew what love was... #
..but time apart tonight seems to have had the opposite effect
for Abbie and Lisha.
# With the way that you treat me
# I had to reach my own conclusions. #
Did you enjoy it?
We... Yeah. It was actually really nice. Um...
Yeah, it was a pleasant date.
All flirty banter?
I didn't have flirty banter with her. No? No.
I just want to know exactly where you're at.
Cos I'm scared of hurting myself. I'm scared of hurting myself.
And I want to be real with you.
Like, I've just seen some stuff.
I just put two and two together and I'm like, "Fuck." Can I...?
Is that with Meg, then? Yeah. OK.
I'm not flirting with her. It's... You're all over her.
You are all over each other.
But she's, like, my best friend in here.
When I see Meg and Lish flirt in front of me, like,
it does make me feel like shit.
I can't lie, like, it is very uncomfortable to watch.
That has made my head go a little bit like,
"I think she's into Meg," which is absolutely fine if you are,
but I'd rather know.
Do you see a spark there and want to progress? Then that's, like...
That's absolutely fine. I don't. OK.
I just didn't want, like...
I didn't want to feel... or, like, get mugged off.
I'd rather just be, like, told straight to my face because, like,
I'm shit scared of, like, my heart getting broken.
I feel like when me and Abbie are good,
we're really, really, really good.
But she does worry.
So I feel like I'm trying to be as positive as I can
because I really want things to work out.
If I wanted to explore things with Meg,
I think I would have done it by now. Yeah. OK.
I do know that she likes me and she wants this to work,
but it is difficult when we don't see eye to eye.
Where's your head at? With you, babe.
OK, so we're on the same page?
Give me a kiss.
You're very touchy tonight.
I'm not even trying to be.
It's all right? Yeah. OK.
Obviously, the bed's still warm with Fi,
but I think it's really good that me and Eva do have each other in here,
because we do fancy each other,
and we have that deep connection there.
Who wants to hear me and Naee have sex tonight?
Whaaat?!
I mean, all the girls are complaining they could hear us kiss,
but, you know, apparently we're loud kissers.
FIORENZA: You're so far.
The sleeping arrangements weren't ideal. My bed is, like,
at the end of Fi's feet!
Night-night, everyone. ALL: Night!
Sun's up at the Masseria.
Morning! Morning!
It's a good day to be gay. That's every day.
Amen to that.
And here's to a great day for new girls
Lailah, Em and Beth.
Fi just said to come here,
so I just slipped into bed with her!
I love a little morning cuddle.
Right, can we get... Can we get a song going?
FI: What song do you want? Some Beatles! Do it.
Do it.
Woke up feeling fresh, you know.
I think maybe me and Fiorenza would actually be better off as friends
cos we do have a real, special platonic connection.
But excited to kind of sit down and have a chat
to the new girlies, see what they're all about.
THEY SING AND CHEER
When I think of Amy, I think of boots.
Just a hype girl, like, she's just in everyone's corner.
She's just full of so much positivity.
There's something definitely intriguing about her.
When I think of Amy, I think, does she sleep in those things?
Anyway, time for brekkie.
And no, gossip is not optional.
OK, you don't have to tell us who,
but is there someone in the Masseria that you have had your eye on?
I literally haven't had my morning coffee.
VOICEOVER: I don't know whether right now
there is that romantic connection with anyone,
but I do want to get to know everyone
and see, cos I think it takes a while to form that connection.
With the Kiss Off tomorrow, you better not wait too long, Em.
And over in the snug, Lailah's wasting no time
in exploring her connection with Amy.
So, what are you like in a relationship?
I, like, love so deeply and have so much love to give.
And I fall really hard, really quick.
I do love hard. I tend to be, like, more logical.
That... And I think a lot. Yeah, I'm the opposite. Yeah.
So I feel like the combination of the two... Yeah.
..might be good. Sounds like... perfect, some would say.
I'm just observing you a little bit more. OK.
I like your personality. Mm-hm.
And you were looking at me quite a bit.
Lailah, she's just... Her face!
I'm literally like, I kept staring at her
cos I was just staring at her, like, beautiful features.
MUSIC: Looking at You (Female Gaze) by Sistra
You're a bit of a looker, you are.
OK, well, now I know you were actually looking at me,
it feels a bit better! Yeah.
I just wanted to know if you like me back, that's all.
OK, OK, OK. Yeah.
Trying to get a feel of
whether she was liking me, too,
but I think just the confirmation that, yeah,
she's looking at me the way I'm looking at her.
It's, uh... Yeah, it's good.
So you said you fall... you said you fall fast.
How fast are we talking?
Well, with my ex, it was really quick.
It was like, maybe, like, a month.
But we, like, we knew each other before. I was her lacrosse captain.
Oh, you play lacrosse? Yeah.
You play lacrosse? You ARE a posh girl. I know.
VOICEOVER: I am a bit of a posh girl.
I went to a private school in the heart of Surrey.
But going to private school as a queer woman was not, um, great.
You know, I wasn't out, either, so it just made it very hard,
you know, many, many nights at parties crying
cos I just wanted to be who I was,
but I felt like I couldn't tell anybody
because there was a lot of judgment.
I came out late and I was, like,
at the dinner with my mum and my little sister. Mm.
And I was like, "Oh, Mum, I have to tell you something."
She was like, "You're not gay, are you?"
Yeah. Not good, not good.
So it was a bit of a shock. But she's... She's good now. Yeah.
My mum grew up in a very different generation, but she's done amazing.
She's come such a long way and, like,
now she just wants me to be happy.
I'm definitely, like, getting more and more confident with who I am
and...and, like, growing up, like, realising who I am. Mm-hm.
And I love... I, like, genuinely love that a lot.
Getting to know Amy, it's cool to see that she's got another side
to her, cos she's very much out there, which is great.
But I think when someone's got layers, it is really nice.
I'm very insecure. It's very like a front.
I realise that about myself, not in the same way.
But I feel like we've all got something like that... 100%.
..that is great about us, but the reason we're that way...
We're that way. Exactly. ..is because we're insecure. Yeah, exactly.
If I could speak to Amy, you know, young Amy who's crying
at the parties because she's so insecure about her sexuality,
I honestly would tell her to just keep her chin up and
be proud of who she was because it was the most, like,
uplifting and freeing experience to come out.
Like, the first thing I do when I meet people
is tell them I'm a lesbian.
It's my defining personality trait.
Well, Amy, I'd say you've picked the best place to be out and proud.
# Feels like some kinda rush
# Yeah, yeah
# So good... #
A wee Irish jig, hmm?
This is so not Irish!
Things got heated last night.
Abbie told me that she wasn't very happy
with the way that me and Meg are,
but I also feel like me and Meg, honestly, we're mates.
Everyone flirts with everyone in the Masseria.
She had a conversation with me about Meg.
She was like, me and Meg are really bothering her.
Oh, really? Really?
She was like, "I just feel like, if you like her, just tell me."
And I was like, "Listen,
"I think she's fit, but it doesn't go beyond that surface."
Yeah, we said this, didn't we? Yeah.
If I wanted to explore things with Meg, I would have.
With Abbie and Lisha, I feel like
they've communicated their problems. However,
there's not much, like, comprehension in it, so I feel like
they're going round in circles.
# You're so complicated... #
You're right, Naee -
it DOES feel a little bit like gay-ja vu today, doesn't it?
See when I was, like, in, like, nursery and primary school,
I would only want to wear boys' clothes. Yeah.
And, like, I remember when it was, like, picture day and
my mum would want to, like, dress me up a bit. And I'd...
So I'd wear, like, a skirt or something
and I'd literally be crying cos I didn't want to put it on. Yeah, I...
But I was literally, like, five.
And I was like, "Why do I not want to wear these clothes?"
I feel like I went through, like, a roller-coaster
with, like, my identity.
It takes a while to get to the person you want to be.
But now I'm at my final form,
and I cut my hair, as well, so
I've fully evolved into me.
Wearing, like, feminine clothes, for me, like,
I've never just felt - never felt comfortable.
I feel like I'm trying to fit into something that I'm not.
Yeah, cos it's like, you could look so good, body-wise,
but, like, on the inside you're like... Yeah.
..I don't feel comfortable.
It's just about, like, being comfortable in your own skin at the end of the day.
Yeah, no, I actually had, um, long hair.
I think the only reason I cut it was to look more gay.
Yeah. Really? And I...
Well, no, I just felt more myself, as well. It felt really right.
Looking back now, yeah,
it was a really uncomfortable time in my life.
I just decided one day that I wanted to cut it all off.
It was very cathartic, to be honest.
I kind of felt like I was tearing it off anyway.
I was in a heterosexual relationship for four and a half years.
What? Really? Really? I was with a guy for four years.
Wow. Are you bi?
I'm bi. Yeah. Yeah.
And he was a... He was a lovely guy.
Like, I genuinely thought I was going to marry him
and have kids with him. Really? Wow. Yeah.
What made you have that, like, realisation that you,
this is, you know, what you wanted to do?
It was just an overwhelming feeling. Like, instinct took over. Yeah.
And I was just like, the "what if?" feeling in my head never went away.
Yeah. And I just couldn't get rid of it. Yeah.
Um, it was the hardest decision of my life. Yeah.
It's so difficult. You're giving me goose bumps.
Yeah, same!
I'm getting goose bumps!
Is that the wind, or...?
Yeah! No, literally.
But you can just tell that you've, like, pushed through that fear.
It was so... And then, like, literally...
I was a completely different person in that relationship.
And now I've been able to become, like, my true self... Aww!
..since then. I'm tearing up. Yeah.
Genuinely. Like, I was Emily before.
And now I'm Em.
I love that.
It was a lot. It was a lot.
I was sort of hiding half of my queer personality.
I lost a lot of that in myself for quite a while.
Now, being able to express that side of me,
which I think is a very important side to express,
I feel a lot more myself.
And it's nice to be back and feeling comfortable in myself.
# Maria
# You've gotta see her... #
Mm, mm, mm!
Tasty! Mm!
Mm!
Hate to interrupt, girls, but watch out - you've got company.
CHEERING
Hi. Everything OK?
I was very excited to see Sara.
However, I was a bit nervous too, cos I know she's got news.
Girls, you have a message from Dannii.
Go on, Naee. Go on, Naee. Do the honours!
See you soon. ALL: See you! Bye! Bye!
Miss you already. Bella ragazza.
"This evening we're celebrating astrological love..."
Oh, no. Yeah.
"..as you're all invited to a special dinner party under the stars."
THEY SHOUT EXCITEDLY
Everyone's into star signs, right?
What lesbian isn't?
A star sign-themed dinner party and 13 queer girlies?
I wonder if their horoscopes predicted that one.
Really looking forward to the dinner party.
Everyone looks amazing.
# And everything went from wrong to right
# And the stars came out and filled up the sky... #
It looks very romantic, very intimate.
Especially for
a dinner date of 13 girls.
Stunning!
THEY CHEER
"For your dinner under the stars,
"you have been seated close to the girls you are most compatible with
"based on your star signs. Enjoy!"
Oh! Oh, my God!
Oh, my God, these are my matches. Oh, these are my matches. Oh.
You know, you turn it over. You see all your matches
based off star sign compatibility.
But luckily, me and Naee, we were compatible,
so I wasn't worried.
My most compatible is, Naee - Virgo... Ooh!
..Beth - Virgo, and Priya - Taurus.
Hi, babe. Threesome!
I've got Cara - Aquarius.
Then I've got Eva - Gemini,
Abbie - Aquarius,
Lailah - Sagittarius, and Em - Sagittarius.
I think that means we should be a threesome.
We're all in each other's top three.
I mean, I have been waiting for you to suggest it.
LAUGHTER
There you go. Watch out tonight, girls.
Who doesn't have their couple on their card? Hands up.
OK, so on your cards, who would you go for?
Ooh! Ooh!
There you go.
Priya, you... Listen, star signs,
they're my thing.
I'd probably say Beth or Meg.
Ahh!
Love you!
ABBIE: I'd say they're both Lisha's type, so...
Yeah.
I said Meg's name because if I hadn't,
I knew that people would know I'd be lying.
Because I've had this conversation with people
to say that I have got a physical attraction there,
but I don't think anything could evolve romantically,
especially where I'm at with Abbie.
I'm not that type of person.
Mine would be Cara, just cos we're besties, so...
What about me?
I want to say a really juicy question,
but I think it's too harsh. What? What were you saying? Huh?
What were you saying? Some girlie chat. Yeah.
The atmosphere was... Oof.
Like, it really took, like, the wind out of our sails.
And it was just a bit like...
Oh.
How are you feeling?
We're good.
We're getting better. Better by day, by day. Yeah.
There's been a few bumps. We needed to communicate more,
and I feel like we're doing that now. Yeah.
Abbie, do you think Lisha is good at communicating?
Yeah.
Huh. That was a bit of a gap, babe.
Yeah, um...
Mm.
We'll see.
Abbie and Lisha have kind of a tumultuous relationship
in that they don't communicate enough,
or they don't listen to each other enough.
Leave it. No more.
Oh, dear.
That did not go to plan.
What's taxi in Italian?
I expected Abbie to say straight away, yes, I can.
I don't understand what that gap was between her giving the question
and her answering the question.
She had a bit of a...
..tweak. She... She thought about it and I was like, "What?"
Ever been to a dinner with that many lesbians?
Um, I mean, a football dinner, but... Oh, yeah, fair.
..it's a bit different.
It's a bit different. Have you? Nope. No.
Will you do it again?
Nope. Nope.
LAUGHTER
But what's the craic with you? Romantically, it's difficult.
Everyone's, like, kind of coupled up. It's hard as hell.
Sometimes you pull the short straw. Yeah.
And I think I've been coming to terms with that today. Yeah.
Just feeling like a unlucky number 13, right now. Oh, no!
# I keep going back to when I laid eyes on you
# Cos ever since then you've been on my mind... #
So after dinner I could see that the mood was kind of off,
but it didn't really affect me,
and it clearly didn't affect Amy either, which was nice.
Every time you look at me, like, I kind of get excited.
It was weird. Ahh! And I was like, "Mm..."
I think that's kind of what reeled me in. Mm.
Cos usually, like, the attraction builds differently for me,
but I kind of want to see how this one goes. Yeah.
Because it's different. But I think it's cos you're different, so...
I'll take that. Mm.
You've got nice lips, as well. Yeah.
So are you going to kiss me or what?
# You should come over
# Uh-huh
# Let me get to know you
# Hey!
# I'm picturing you when the light hits your face... #
I'm glad that tense dinner didn't stop any new connections.
# Yeah, I need to know you You should come over. #
Some connections, however, need a bit of a mend.
You were asked a question, right? Yeah.
"Can Alisha communicate with you?"
Mm. "Does she?"
That's the whole... That's the whole question.
It's either a yes or a no.
You're making out to the group like I'm shit at communicating,
and that I don't listen to you, when I feel like I fucking do.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to, like, pause and hesitate.
I'm sorry.
So much sorrys I can take, babe.
There is a fine line between communication and having to have
the same conversation about the same problem over and over again.
# We live in circles
# And it's so hard to breathe. #
I feel like you just need to think about this a little bit more.
If this is what you want, with me. OK.
I don't want you to...
Are you going to walk away? Yeah.
I just want you to be happy.
And I feel like you're not.
Lish just made me feel so shit before going to bed.
I just think sometimes I just don't know how to navigate things.
# Don't tell me our youth is running out
# It's only just begun
# Begun, begun, begun... #
Morning. Morning.
I slept like a baby.
Ah!
LAUGHTER
It's the morning of the Kiss Off,
where each girl must decide to continue in their relationship
or save their kiss for another girl.
How's everyone feeling after last night? Got very intense.
The girls have hard choices to make later tonight.
It's a good day to have a good day. Yeah.
But for now, hurry up and finish those oat milk lattes,
because you have a note from Dannii.
# It's only just begun. #
"Hey, girls. As you know, you are here to find a relationship
"that will last in the real world.
"As a group, I would like you to decide the couple
"with the strongest connection. Please decide now.
"Love, Dannii." Oh, my God! God...
I nominate Priya and Naee. Anyone else?
Yeah. Yeah. I concur. Yeah.
Oh, OK. Is that unanimous, then?
LAUGHTER
That was easy. Yeah.
NAEE: Everyone better pick us. I know!
Cos they're always talking about it anyway, so... Yeah.
Do you think you'll be going to, like, a...?
ALL SHOUT
You're defo going to the girl cave!
Don't gas it now, guys. Don't gas it.
I think something's round the corner, something nice.
Something's definitely round the corner.
But you never know what Dannii's got up her sleeve.
Have you kissed Lailah yet? Yeah. We kissed last night.
What?
Yeah. Did you not know?
No! Like, was it a good kiss?
Yeah, it was a really good kiss.
Why didn't you tell me? Sorry, I forgot.
You seemed like you had stuff going on.
I did.
# Crying at the discotheque
# The discotheque The discotheque
# Crying at the discotheque... #
Big Kiss Off tonight. Everyone's excited.
But everyone's also shitting themselves
and really don't want to see anyone going home.
# Crying at the discotheque. #
ABBIE: I couldn't really sleep last night because all I was thinking
about was, like, me and Lish.
We went over to, like, the olive tree, and she was like...
I think she was annoyed that I hesitated
on the communication question on the dinner.
She's like, "Why did you hesitate?"
It's just a situation where emotions are so heightened all the time. Yeah.
You're reading into something so small.
I felt so bad after that chat.
I was like, "Oh, my God, does she actually feel like I'm...?"
She was like, "I just think you don't know what you want."
Abbie, she's been told she's the problem,
and she's not the problem in this situation.
I don't think Abbie's doing anything wrong.
# You don't wanna die
# You just don't wanna live like this another while
# So let's go somewhere different... #
This place is driving me crazy. I know.
# It's easy to get lost in
# Everybody else Like everybody else... #
How are you feeling? Yeah, OK. Emotional today.
Are you emotional? Just tough.
It's a shame that it hasn't happened,
but it's just luck of the draw sometimes. It is.
It's shit luck and, like... Yeah... It's... I mean, there's no...
It's not a reflection on you. No.
It's just a reflection of the time you came in.
There just hasn't been that person that I've
had that romantic connection with in here,
which has been a tough one to come to terms with
over the last couple days.
There's been a bit of tension between a few couples, I think.
Abs and Lisha were a bit weird yesterday.
Yeah, that's what I was going to say.
I think there's just, like, a lack of communication there.
There really is.
I feel like they're talking about stuff but, like,
they're not getting anywhere. Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, I do know what you mean.
I think there's just something missing there,
but I can't put my finger on it.
# We'd be see through
# You don't wanna die
# You just don't wanna live like this another while. #
# I'm watching myself... #
As the sun sets on the Masseria,
it's time for the girls to face the Kiss Off
and ultimately decide where they stand.
As much as I have an inkling
that she wants to kiss me,
you actually never know what's going to happen at the Kiss Off.
I'm going into the Kiss Off tonight
staying true to myself. It's the only way I know how to be.
And I'm confident in the decision that I've made.
# Where do we go when we walk on light? #
Going into this Kiss Off,
there are some worries there with Lisha.
I just feel a bit hopeless.
There's nothing I can really do.
I want Abbie to be the right girl for me.
But I do have that speculation
and that little thing in my head,
that's like, is this the right thing? Is this what I want?
# Don't let me go
# Hold me in your beating heart
# I won't let go
# Forever is not enough... #
Oh, God! Oh! Oh!
Goddamn! Goddamn.
Girls, welcome to your second Kiss Off.
Tonight you will reveal if you want to stay with your current girl,
or if you're saving your kiss for someone else.
Anyone left unkissed will be leaving the Masseria.
Our new girls - Lailah, Beth and Em - will be joining us later.
For now, Priya and Naee, please step forward.
Girls, I'm going to ask you to stand back to back
and take a moment.
# I been doin' my best to be the best for you... #
I'm very happy with how me and Priya are going.
Um, each day we just keep growing and, like,
getting to know each other more.
If you want to stay with your girl, then turn and kiss her.
If you're saving your kiss for someone else, don't turn.
Girls...
..reveal your decision now.
That's my woman, innit? And, uh...
Yeah, I just know who I'm going to kiss.
# Don't it feel good? #
CHEERING
How are you feeling?
I'm feeling great. Yeah. Yeah? Naee's amazing.
Aww! I love those smiles.
It's onwards and upwards for me and Naee from now on.
We couldn't be doing any better.
OK, Priya and Naee, get your gorgeous asses over there!
CHEERING
First on the love seat!
OK, Cara and Georgia.
I'm feeling confident,
but there's always that little voice in my head that goes,
"Oh, imagine if she doesn't turn round."
Girls, reveal your decision now.
CHEERING
# Sky love
# Hold me, hold me Hold on to me... #
I just feel like we're in a good space.
Any excuse to kiss Georgia, I will have,
even if it's in front of Dannii.
All right, girls, take a seat.
CHEERING
Abbie and Lisha, please step forward.
MUSIC: Only Love Can Save Us Now by Kesha
All right, please stand back to back
and take a moment.
I can't keep feeling like this.
I feel like she doesn't really understand how much...
..the things that she does bothers me until I tell her.
Relationships are all about trust.
And once that trust is broken,
there's no going back.
# Only love Oh, Lord, save me... #
Girls, reveal your decisions.
# I need your love now
# Only love Oh, Lord
# Save me
# Can save us now Please, God... #
Now.
Next time on I Kissed A Girl...
Earlier today, you decided
Priya and Naee had the strongest connection.
There's no room in the Masseria for fake love.
Which couple are together,
but their hearts aren't truly in it?
The couple you choose will leave the Masseria now.
Savage.
This is literally the worst thing I've ever had to do.
Absolutely gobsmacked. There's every chance
that we're in the firing line.
We've not really had the chance to prove to people
that we're in here for love.
I was like, I've broken up the Masseria.
