Sixteen singles land on the beautiful south coast Kwa-Zulu Natal beach. Delighted by how attractive the other singles are, they begin connecting with each other immediately. This leads to a Couple Match filled with excitement for some and dismay for others.

The newly matched couples face their first challenge and it's more extreme than they bargained for, testing their compatibility as well as their endurance. It's couple vs. wild as they race the clock to avoid being in the bottom two teams. Previous connections and residual feelings become insurmountable.

It's a dirty game; as the couples get to know each other, some reveal immediate chemistry, while for others, the chasm grows wider. Melo and Kaelin continue to grapple with Kaelin's unresolved feelings for Julia.

The SUP challenge seems serene, but under the placid Umzimkulu River, angry currents are gathering. Sunshine realises that a friend might not be so friendly.

The couples are emotionally battered and bruised as they face a physical challenge. A shocking injury leaves one couple unbalanced, while another couple's lack of chemistry threatens to end their date.

The couples face an extremely difficult physical challenge.
