Federico and Marina
Federico and Marina experienced the least amount of conflict compared to the other two couples. During Wednesday’s episode, Marina voiced her jealousy, asking, “Did you enjoy making risotto with Linda?” He responded, “Yes, we had fun. But I would have enjoyed it with anyone, since she didn’t judge me,” referencing Marina’s somewhat rigid attitude throughout the experiment. Unsurprisingly, Marina and Federico ultimately decided to separate. “He understood me in a few days, but I was looking for more affection, and maybe it’s better this way. That’s something he can’t give me right now,” Federico commented. “I am sweet and affectionate, but I have to feel it,” she replied.

Linda and Andrea
The tensions seen in the February 11th episode didn’t ease. Andrea had explicitly told Linda he had no desire to seize further steps toward intimacy, something he never felt inclined to pursue. Adding to the drama, Linda learned from a friend of Andrea’s that he had confided during their honeymoon that he wasn’t attracted to her physique. “Linda, don’t take everything as gospel. You need to talk to me, not other people. Our problem isn’t physical, it’s that we’re not compatible personality-wise,” Andrea retorted. Given the circumstances, Linda and Andrea ultimately chose to separate. “I don’t think there’s a starting point for us to try again,” Linda said.

After a rocky start, Irene and Andrea finally began to open up and connect, spending time in Irene’s hometown of Genoa and then Andrea’s in Voghera. “It’s really nice to spend time with him in his home. There’s time after the experiment,” Irene commented. “I’m happy that for once I managed not to run away,” he added. Despite the progress, Irene and Andrea ultimately decided not to remain married. “We’re not husband and wife today, we’re just two people getting to know each other,” they explained to the experts. However, they remain the only couple to show positive signs for the future, and could surprise viewers during the reunion.
