We'll discover if

There's no turning back now.
KHATAB, 32,
ARCHITECT, DJ AND MUSIC PRODUCER
The door will be opened in a bit.
I'm stressed and excited at the same time.
ASMA, 33, REGIONAL MARKETING
MANAGER AND ENTREPRENEUR
Let's do it.
How are you? What's up?
- How are you?
- I'm good.
I'm surprised.
- Weren't you surprised?
- I'm a little surprised.
We were standing there,
then we suddenly saw each other.
Today morning, my suit didn't fit.
Yes. Out and again, and out.
I am, but I'm really surprised. I mean
- I don't know what to say.
- It's okay.
- Really?
- I swear.
Are you kidding? I'm wearing heels.
We will conquer the world.
When did this happen?
Okay, bye.
I can't wait to see her again.
I'm super happy.
LOVE IS BLIND, HABIBI
Aim for the middle.
- It would've been a bullseye.
- Yes.
Really, I have an idea, out of
CHAFIC, 27
BUSINESSMAN
Surely, I feel a connection
with two of the girls.
Who is this?
I'm Nour.
This is so cute!
The favorite in your heart will be
the most beautiful in your eyes.
A quote says: "The favorite in your heart
will be the most beautiful in your eyes"!
- No way!
- I swear to God.
Why did I give this book to Chafic?
NOUR, 29
MODEL
It's too much. Oh, my God!
Really, Nour, thank you so much.
It's so cute.
She blew my mind away.
I love the small attention.
She was my top one, but
Do you consider yourself a loyal person?
No, I don't cheat.
But I have my own limit.
When I'm with a girlfriend,
never ever I would
put myself before her. No!
I would even show her that
If we're sitting with others--
Just a second.
Of course.
Are there people like you in our world?
and there are people
talking about this subject,
I'm, like, very sensitive on the inside,
unlike what I show to those around me.
When was the last time you cried?
You know, I might cry over things,
I don't know if they mean
something to you or not.
My sister and I used to do something.
We would always
keep food and water in the car.
If we were going somewhere,
and we saw someone on the road
begging for money or something
An old man, we'd always
Hold on! I don't want
I don't want to hear your crying.
I can't give you a tissue from here.
May God protect them.
The most important thing
is that they're in good health.
What more can you ask for?
- I always thank God.
- Thank God.
If you cry, I'll cry too.
We'll both cry.
MEN'S QUARTERS
Nour.
Simo, he's just blabbing,
and we know this.
He's jealous!
- Hello.
- Hello.
Who's this?
Hajar.
I will always give you good energy.
Oh, dear!
I want to travel. Let's go."
If, let's say, I don't have work
I won't ask you, for example,
to cancel your meeting, no.
Your work, your professional career,
it's for you. It's your money.
I would never ask my wife to pay this,
not even one dirham, no.
So, if she wanna work, she can.
And if she doesn't, she stay at home.
who can turn heads
as soon as he enters a room.
When I enter a restaurant,
I will leave this place with the person
I have in mind. Chafic.
HAJAR, 29
BUSINESS OWNER
- How are you, Dounia?
- I'm fine!
- I have a question.
- Go ahead.
For example, today, thank God,
But tomorrow, you know,
- Okay.
- How will you support me?
It's fine. We'll support each other.
That's won't be problem.
Look, for me, the man have to provide.
Yeah.
But if my wife wants to work,
she can work.
I work as they say, 24/7.
I shoot scenes. I create contents.
I mean, I show my life.
Do you have a problem appearing with me
on social media?
So, which side of you do you feel
that I don't know yet?
I don't know you emotionally.
Honestly, I'm giving 100%
of my personality in this experiment.
DOUNIA, 24
CONTENT CREATOR
Regarding connection,
I will tell you honestly.
I've never felt this vibe
with anybody before.
This vibe. When I leave the pod,
I get the reaction and try to hide it.
What made me choose you for real
is because you're very genuine.
I felt that you're truly
very straightforward, so I love that.
However, how can I say this?
I thought about something too.
- I have to tell you.
- What is it? Yeah.
Why I made my choices more open.
Because I thought that maybe he's gonna
probably, if he gave himself a chance,
and vibe with someone else also.
Because I'm also protecting myself.
You give me a vibe
that's no one of the girls give me.
But I'm open to talk.
Honestly, there's a progress
in emotions and feelings.
Today, we went up two stairs,
and I felt a spark.
There is more connection,
and things are getting clearer.
As soon as I woke up today,
I started thinking about Dounia.
You're making a scene, dude!
My sweetheart!
How are you?
You're giving good vibes that
you're Prince Charming with everyone?
No, you're a player and a liar.
Good evening and good night.
I'm the kind of guy
and maybe that shows
that I'm not fooling around.
No, you know, if I were you
and I would've done that move
because even for the girl,
it's not okay for her
I told her!
It's over. I swear, she's my girl.
Oh, my God!
I don't know how I can explain this.
You're such an amazing girl.
I swear, I'm in like
No, listen. I will make it easier for you.
I know you already chose the girl,
and I wish you best of luck with her, and
- And the book
- Yeah, I received it. Merci.
All right then,
have a nice day.
I have very intense feelings right now.
So, I'm a bit confused.
Honestly, I'm already,
like, down and stressed
because he's already
chosen a girl, which is fair.
What I didn't like
is that he still insisted
I've never limited my options to Chafic.
Let's see what
the future holds for us.
Asma's rejection bothered me,
because I had genuine feelings for her.
On the contrary,
that motivates me to meet more people.
- Hi.
- I knew it.
How are you today?
- In a good mood.
- In a good mood?
- Yeah.
- It doesn't seem like it.
You know,
when you're disconnected
from many people for a while,
and you get yourself involved
in stuff which is not your thing.
You mean with the other guys
in the experiment?
Yes, naturally.
Did something happen with anybody?
No, it's normal for guys to feel jealous
of each other, just like girls do.
They all leave the pods
and give you the impression
that they're already married
and had children,
and their wives are already pregnant.
People think this is a competition
and don't realize that this marriage.
Marriage is a big responsibility.
Of course, both sides should be
on the same page for this step.
That's why I wanted to talk today,
and tell you what's on my mind
and in my heart,
to see if we're on the same page or no.
- You're 39 years old, right?
- That's right.
I can't believe that Mido has never been
married or
What?
Yes, I married a girl from Belgium
and we stayed married for a year.
Then I got divorced
and I don't have any kids.
No, it wasn't countable for me.
I can't call this marriage an experience.
That's it.
Why do I feel that you took my marriage
very seriously?
But that's something important
actually, and you should tell me about it.
I never judge anybody prematurely.
I always prefer to give others
chances and listen.
You bring out my mature side,
which I like. I mean, you can see
You've become able to see the mature side
of me, which I really like.
You're so tender, which I really like.
And you're feminine.
I like I feel that you have
a very understanding character.
I feel that you need a real man.
You don't want somebody
who's not ready about anything,
not sure if he can provide for his family
and take on this responsibility or not.
First of all, my first impression
about you has completely changed now.
It wasn't a bad impression or something,
but I didn't know you have depth in life,
or someone who
But this new side of you
changed my impression about you a lot.
- I noticed something very strange.
- What is it?
I wasn't expecting that you and I
would get to this point.
I started feeling the decent person
inside you, not just a flighty person.
And I'm very happy because
I've kept you until now.
It was very beautiful date, honestly.
- I didn't feel the time pass.
- That's what I felt too.
Okay, Nour. I will see you tomorrow.
- Hi, my love.
- Everything okay?
- All good. And you?
- Good. How are you? How is everything?
All good, thank God.
Listen, I wrote something for you.
I wrote it, then erased it,
then rewrote it.
Will you marry me, Dounia?
My love, my passion and my smile?
You made me cry, I swear.
He told me that, until now, he feels like
I'm the purest soul he's ever met.
And that touched my soul so much.
Because I felt like he's speaking
to my soul directly.
Come close to the camera!
Can I say something?
When I can't breathe well,
this mean like I'm
I have a new event in my life
or too much emotion, so
I'm usually very talkative,
but I've become speechless.
I love
I'll finish this sentence tomorrow.
you!
- See you.
- See you, baby.
The child inside him
is the same as the one inside me.
That's the thing
that made me connect with him.
Guess who's getting married!
WOMEN'S QUARTERS
Wait, hold on.
Give me a hug.
- I was stressed, really
- You panicked.
No, I was I felt confused.
- How cute!
- He was nervous.
Yeah, he was, like,
if someone came and touched my heart,
then it's going like 200, you know?
I asked her, "Will you marry me?"
And she started crying.
And she replied, "Big yes."
Oh, man!
It's what's happening
between me and Dounia.
Congratulations, babe.
That's like a heavy load off my shoulders.
Simo seems like a careless person
who doesn't take himself seriously.
But when you talk to him,
you can feel that he's deep.
How are you?
Thank God, it started very good.
Really?
Yeah, you're my first pod.
Tell me, Yasmine.
I missed you.
I missed you too.
I missed you. I missed you a lot.
- A lot? Today
- How do you say it?
- You say "barcha".
- I missed you "barcha".
Time flies with you.
I feel the same with you.
I have a question.
Do you snore at night?
What kind of question is this, Simo?
It's an important question
for me, why not?
For the past three years,
thank God, I don't think so.
But when I was a cabin crew member, yes.
Sometimes, my snoring would wake me up.
Because I was so exhausted
and working non-stop
when I was a cabin crew member.
But now, thank God,
my schedule is organized.
I get enough rest
and everything is smooth.
And how was your birthday?
Amazing. Everybody was asking me,
"Who gave you these flowers?"
So, I replied, "Nobody."
That's top secret!
- Why?
- The name is top secret.
in case you're dating other girls.
Out of respect,
I don't like making a fuss.
- But you're dating other guys too.
- What?
You're dating other guys too.
Yeah, I'm dating too, that's right.
I don't feel special.
We're in an experience.
SIMO, 34
RETAILER & CONTRACTOR
So, you should make that person
feel special.
Have we reached this point, Simo?
Have I ever not made you feel special?
On the contrary.
- On the contrary.
- Thank you.
Why do you want to feel special,
and not me?
- Why?
- I don't understand, Simo.
Is this jealousy?
- because of other people?
- Jealousy?
No, this is not jealousy. Wait.
Why are you ruining it, Simo?
You don't like that I'm honest.
what does this mean?
I saw a side of Simo that shocked me.
YASMINE, 30
HR AND LIFE COACH
I don't know if it's jealousy or
I just didn't understand
what was on his mind.
I was nervous.
In the end, maybe it wasn't meant to be.
Maybe that was a sign
that I should be careful,
because that side of him is toxic.
I lost my nerves. I lost it.
I totally lost my temper.
I was devastated and left the pod.
Especially that I have someone else
who shares small details with me.
There's a difference between a girl
who makes you feel like
you're everything to her,
and another one who makes you feel
like you're just an option.
Nour made me feel safe
and she made me her top one.
This is a privilege
and a big leverage for her.
And I'll always be
with the one who wants me,
not the one
who considers me just an option.
Why didn't you say it seriously?
Because I'm shy.
- So, you're shy!
- So much.
- Really?
- Yeah, so much!
I want to thank you so much
for this super cute cupcake.
By the way, I cooked something for you.
Did they give it to you?
No.
I cooked a fruit plate for you.
Right, a fruit plate.
I cooked it myself.
God bless you, darling!
Can't you see the effort I put into it?
Of course, it's so nice, really.
God bless you, my dear.
You haven't seen
my best cooking skills yet.
This is just a small sample,
so you wouldn't be surprised later.
No, I'm not surprised at all.
I don't want to shock you.
You can't see my face right now.
My smile doesn't go away.
I'm telling you,
I kept thinking about you all day.
I want to feel close to you.
I'm starting to get used
to having you in my life.
I'm starting to get used to having someone
who really wants to be with me.
I love that you're seeing Mido,
the real man, who is mature.
And at the same time,
you can see the other half,
who laughs and jokes and loves life.
- I feel like I'm dreaming, I swear.
- Really?
No, wake up so that we can meet, please.
Okay, I'll go to sleep in a good mood.
I don't think I'll ever take it off.
I never thought that our connection
would develop so quickly.
I'm counting the hours until I meet him.
Hi!
- This so beautiful!
- Thank you.
I swear.
I'm, it's You'll know with time,
but since the beginning,
I'm someone loyal.
And from the start,
I had feelings for you.
You made me feel comfortable.
I feel relaxed.
You're Moroccan.
You're always wonderful, honestly.
- Understand?
- Yeah.
What can shock Hajar?
If you leave me for no reason.
If you cheat on me, maybe I can
forgive you and move on with my life.
But if you leave me for no reason,
I'm afraid of falling apart.
Because I won't find anybody by my side.
You won't fall apart.
You won't fall.
And if that happens, you won't be alone.
You won't fall.
Tell me.
before having to stick to a diet. Got it?
You roasted me!
You never did something
that I didn't like till now.
You were always wonderful,
until you said what you said now.
No, I don't want you to get the idea--
You shouldn't make judgement
To each their own.
I'm trying to apologize to Simo.
I'm trying to change his mood
and say I'm sorry.
I didn't mean that this represents me
or my character or even him.
God willing.
Simo and I are on shaky ground right now.
Tomorrow, I'll see what his mood is like.
I'm feeling peacefulness
about seeing Chafic,
because I got to know his soul.
And I still want to know much more.
Right now, there's a door
that separating me from Chafic.
But the only difference
is that the door will open this time.
My heart is beating
200 beats per minute, I think.
I can't wait to go inside.
My feeling before I see Dounia
is excitement.
But at the same time, I'm a bit nervous.
I feel my heart
about to jump out of my chest.
- How are you?
- I'm good.
I've been waiting for this moment
since I woke up.
I couldn't sleep a wink.
I was thinking non-stop.
I am sweating.
I have no regrets at all. And you know
I was about to have a heart attack,
I swear on my mom.
I started feeling
light-headed and sweating.
- I want to change my clothes.
- Okay.
- But I'm shy.
- Are you shy?
Yes, so close your eyes.
I'll change my clothes and be right back.
But don't open your eyes.
- Okay. Pinky promise. Deal.
- I'm serious, promise me.
Close your eyes and don't open them.
- I'll change and come back.
- Deal.
You have to close your eyes. Close them.
Her eyes, her laugh,
how she sits and how she talks.
All that I was wishing,
God gave it to me with Dounia.
Nour makes me feel safe and at ease
when I talk to her.
Honestly, I'm going in feeling scared.
I'm opening my heart to her
and I'm going to tell her everything.
Nour
Listen to me carefully,
because I have a lot to tell you.
I'm listening.
Just a second because I just
Nour
Just a second because I sat down again.
There are many thoughts
racing in my mind right now, my feelings
I need a hug. That it, just a hug.
Mido, Mido!
I feel like the world is spinning fast
around me. I'm happy.
There was a misunderstanding
during my date with Hajar yesterday.
I'm going to meet her today
to see where we can go.
Because I apologized.
It was wrong and I apologized.
If you knew my character,
you'd know that I'm clumsy sometimes.
But I liked something.
I liked the fact that you stopped me then.
Do you feel good about me now?
I didn't like what happened, to be honest.
You disrespected yourself and me.
You disrespected our roots and traditions.
Disrespected And everything.
