Recap | Stranded on Honeymoon Island on Channel 7 and 7plus S1E3 – Secrets, showers and shockwaves. The first Couples Cove rocks Stranded On Honeymoon Island
Tonight on Seven and 7plus, Tom’s late-night confession rocked Couples Cove, Emily and Mike’s past resurfaced, and Brie and Byron steamed up the showeron Stranded On Honeymoon Island.
Amy and Mike were in limbo after a rocky start, sparked by Amy confronting him over past misogyny. Though Mike’s ego took a hit, they agreed to work on communication and found renewed unity.
They arrived at Couples Cove united, unaware Emily – Mike’s former dating app match – would be there. Emily previously called Mike’s comments “vulgar” and vowed to expose him.
Overnight, Tom dropped a bombshell on Emily, confessing he has a secret girlfriend on the outside and was only participating for the experience.
Devastated, Emily said: “I feel betrayed. I feel hurt, I feel lied to.”
Brie’s commitment issues came to a head again as Byron challenged her usual dating patterns. His kindness and sincerity sent her into flight mode but with nowhere to run, she faced her fears head-on.
Brie and Byron’s spark ignited as they shared a steamy shower, hinting at more romance to come.
Although the speed dating event brought all the castaways together, none knew who else had been matched as they headed to Couples Cove, eager to meet the other couples.
Emily confided in the other women about Tom’s secret girlfriend on the outside.
Furious, Brie confronted Tom in front of the group. He denied being in a relationship outside the show, clarifying he was seeing someone “casually” for a few months before coming to honeymoon island.
“I think coming on this show has made me recognise there are feelings inside, so that’s been hard for me to process,” Tom explained.
Emily wasn’t buying it: “That’s not what you said the other night.”
Tom tried to explain, stating he was confused about his feelings. Byron attempted to mediate, which disappointed Brie, who felt Tom needed to be held accountable.
Emily, once again in tears, felt the sting of rejection and betrayal. As the women rallied around her, Tom’s dishonesty caused a rift in the group, but the drama didn’t stop there.
“I haven’t been completely honest with Emily and everyone else,” Tom admitted later.
He revealed that the story about the girl on the outside was a fabrication to avoid getting intimate with Emily.
Tom said: “I lied to her, I said I had feelings for someone else, but that’s just not true. Sometimes I just blurt out white lies when I feel pressured or scared.”
After apologising to Emily, Tom still couldn’t admit for sure that he felt a spark with her or if he was ready to give their relationship a real chance.
Meanwhile, Amy shared with the girls that she had confronted Mike about his behaviour.
That’s when Emily dropped her bombshell, admitting: “I met Mike prior to the speed dating night. Your comment about him being misogynist is exactly, exactly the vibe I got from him.”
Amy was shaken. She called it “another blow to what we are trying to build here” but didn’t confront Mike – at least not yet.
“We’ve been matched for a reason. I want to give him a chance and keep an open mind. That’s really the reason we’re here,” Amy reflected.
“I’m just going to use this information as ammo should I need it down the track,” she added.
Tuesday night on Stranded On Honeymoon Island: The fallout from Couples Cove continues to ripple through the island before a spicy new crate sends temperatures skyrocketing.
