Love Triangle Episode 5 recap: Pat packs his bags as Lisa gets ready for a date with another man and someone drops the L-bomb
Alex is the very first Love Triangle participant to have his sliding doors moment when he meets his other match Bec.
After he tells cameras he thinks Bec is "lovely", "attractive" and "highly intellectual", it's time for Alex to go home to Madison – the girl he's been living with for the last two weeks – and tell her how his date went.
Stream the latest episodes of Love Triangle on on Stan.
He says he's "not really attracted" to model Bec and that she's like "one of the boys".
Madison and I for that matter, are calling total BS on that answer. Although in fairness, it really is the best thing Alex can say in such a circumstance.
While the pair grapple with the breakdown of trust in their relationship, it's time for the rest of the participants to meet their other matches and find out if they really made the right choice.
Madi meets Daniel
"The door has like a tiny crack open for Daniel," Madi tells cameras.
Not only is she smitten with her current match James, but Daniel was dropping red flags left right and centre in the lead up to her decision.
"I think that he's a f---boy," Madi says, putting it bluntly. Wow, Daniel has a lot of work to do if he wants to win Madi over.
The pair meet and get to chatting, and Madi admits Daniel "is much warmer in person than he was over text".
Other than the fact that Daniel keeps calling Madi "babe" – which she clearly isn't a fan of – things are going surprisingly well.
That is until Daniel starts badmouthing James.
"I'm not disrespecting your boy at home, I forget his boring name," Daniel says.
Madi isn't having a bar of it, she defends James' honour and it's pretty obvious that Daniel isn't the one for Madi.
EPISODE 4 RECAP: Insecurities surface as a text bombshell hits
Ly meets Danny
After two weeks with Ben, Ly still feels like they're "lacking chemistry" so she's excited at the prospect of seeing if there's a spark there with Danny.
Ly and Danny left things on a bit of an unfinished note.
"The last time I called him he was in the toilet and missed my call," she tells producers.
But when Ly finally sets eyes on Danny, it's a familiar face she recognises.
"I know him from Adelaide, we have the same group of friends and we used to work at the same wedding company doing catering," she explains.
OK, so these two go like way back.
Even though Ly said from the outset that she didn't want an Asian guy – and Danny is clearly that – she feels like their meeting could be destiny at work.
"With Danny, compared to my first date with Ben, it just clicked," she says.
EPISODE 3 RECAP: Nerves ramp up as the couples move in together
Yannick meets Belinda
Our mate Mr. Ego has been in a total compliment drought with Erika, so he's absolutely delighted when Belinda goes absolutely ham on the flattery.
Belinda adores Yannick's teeth, his height, his fro and quite specifically his jawline.
Yannick is lapping it up and "couldn't be happier" with how their date is going and says "there's definitely a connection there".
But then Belinda drops a bombshell.
She's been thinking of getting a "magic wand tattoo near her vagina".
Sorry, that's not the bombshell but she did actually say that.
The real bombshell is that she's divorced and has a two-and-a-half-year-old child.
"That's a big thing to leave out of your life, I wish you had told me via text," Yannick says.
News of a child gets Yannick thinking.
"I do want a family and all those things and I don't necessarily want to inherit somebody else's family," he admits to cameras.
EPISODE 2 RECAP: Yannick gets a major reality check when his date is underwhelmed
Kyle meets Elena
Let's keep in mind that one of the big reasons Kyle didn't pick Elena is because he thought she would be "too out of his league".
I'm not sure exactly what that says about why he chose Leesh but righto.
Elena struts in and she's beautiful, bubbly and there's no hiding that Kyle likes what he sees.
"You go to a bar at home and girls look similar to Elena and you go, 'I'm not even gonna bother' because you'll most likely get rejected," he says.
"I definitely find her attractive, but I find that I'm committed to Leesh." Good save Kyle.
Elena orders a drink to calm Kyle's nerves. But he says he isn't nervous, he's "cold".
After that bizarre excuse there is a pretty long period of awkward silence as there is for most of the date.
"I think he's really sweet, but maybe too sweet for me," Elena tells producers.
Kyle returns home to tell Leesh about his date with Elena.
"She was attractive, she was outgoing and she was on a different level to talk to," he says.
"But she wasn't you." Aw, Kyle, you had me for a minute there.

Lisa meets Matt
Pat is not taking Lisa's date very well.
His bags are packed and he is ready to leave if Lisa comes back and confesses to kissing her date, or "some loser Matt" as Pat calls him.
Meanwhile, Lisa is going on her date with an open mind. Although she thinks it could be "a good kick up the butt" for Pat to take things more seriously.
"I feel like I'm all in and he's not. For all I know Pat might walk out the door in a week," she admits.
In case you need a little refresher, Lisa's type is true blue Aussie, blonde hair and blue eyes. She says they make her "weak at the knees".
Matt walks in and he's exactly what Lisa thought she was getting at the start.
These two have serious chemistry. They talk about their love of muscle cars, Lisa even compliments Matt on his lovely "di-- fingers".
"Matt is giving me everything I wanted," she says.
But after all that, Lisa comes home and tells Pat she didn't kiss Matt "because there's only one Patrick and she's fallen in love with him".
Pat's not quite ready to drop the L-bomb, but he's definitely on the love train.
But that train gets seriously derailed when the doorbell rings and Pat answers the door to Matt, suitcases and all.
Yep, that's right, the third matches are crashing the party and moving in with the happy couples next week.
