00:00:01Previously...
00:00:02What?
00:00:03That's huge.
00:00:04Our couples were given the option to meet
00:00:06who else they could have been matched with.
00:00:09That's it!
00:00:10Rhi and Jeff turned down the opportunity.
00:00:13I couldn't be happier with where we're at in our relationship.
00:00:15I think it would be very silly right now to throw that away.
00:00:20And despite secretly swapping numbers
00:00:22with the other person she was compatible with...
00:00:25You've got great posture and your pats are so strong.
00:00:28They're like real cats.
00:00:30Jackie celebrated her newfound appreciation for Ryan.
00:00:34Have a seat.
00:00:36Most of the couples took the option.
00:00:38I'm Adrian, nice to meet you.
00:00:39I'm Athena, do we?
00:00:41But Athena regretted her decision.
00:00:43I'm upset by our actions.
00:00:45My biggest worry was that you and I both went.
00:00:48I'm not worried. I couldn't care less.
00:00:50So if you're so happy, why are you here?
00:00:53Um...
00:00:54And when Paul's curiosity got the better of him...
00:00:57It's not cheating.
00:00:58It is. I don't appreciate that you should know my morals.
00:01:01What is cheating?
00:01:02Karina drew her line in the sand.
00:01:04I'm so ready to go home without you.
00:01:07I'm actually done. Get your shit and leave.
00:01:13Tonight...
00:01:14Dinner is served.
00:01:16It's been such a wild ride.
00:01:18Cheers!
00:01:19Woo!
00:01:20It's the last dinner party of the experiment.
00:01:23It's been amazing.
00:01:25All our hard work that we've put in.
00:01:27I'm just so proud of us that we're here right now.
00:01:30While some are feeling stronger than ever...
00:01:32Grass is greener when you water it.
00:01:34Brian and I, we're still watering our grass and it's still growing and we're happy.
00:01:37The same cannot be said for Athena and Adrian.
00:01:41It was a date and yeah, I regret it.
00:01:44He and I failed each other that day.
00:01:46Do you see any point going to final vows?
00:01:49Um...
00:01:50Like if you're truly happy with your relationship, you wouldn't have gone on a date.
00:01:53I wasn't thinking straight.
00:01:54It is not an excuse.
00:01:55Can Paul win back Karina's trust?
00:01:58It makes me feel sick.
00:01:59Everything that we have built together, it's out the window for me.
00:02:03And I'm so sorry for that.
00:02:04Try harder.
00:02:05No, I'm a catch.
00:02:07Anyone would die to be with me.
00:02:09Or will one shocking comment...
00:02:12Whoa, look.
00:02:15..see the couple implode right before final vows?
00:02:19Are you serious?
00:02:31Well, I'm certainly not feeling the buzz this morning.
00:02:33Yeah, I've just been reflecting and looking back on this stupid decision that I made this
00:02:40today to go on this stupid date.
00:02:52Hey.
00:02:53Good, Paul.
00:02:54Hello.
00:02:55I'm Hannah.
00:02:56We'll do two.
00:02:57So if you're so happy, why are you here?
00:03:00Why are we on a date?
00:03:02Does she know that you're here?
00:03:07Have you done this in past relationships?
00:03:11Why didn't it work out with your wife?
00:03:21So, I've got good news?
00:03:22Yeah.
00:03:23Oh, yay!
00:03:24What do you mean?
00:03:25Did you go?
00:03:26No, I did, I did, I did.
00:03:27But no, no, but like, don't worry, it was...
00:03:29You went?
00:03:32No, no, no, no, no.
00:03:33There's no going past this.
00:03:34I understand.
00:03:35Like, you did not consider how I was going to feel again.
00:03:38And...
00:03:39Again, Paul.
00:03:40And I'm...
00:03:41No, f*** this.
00:03:42Like, I'm not even...
00:03:43I'm not...
00:03:44I don't care.
00:03:45I'm done.
00:03:46The last straw.
00:03:47You say that because...
00:03:48No, I'm done.
00:03:49I don't want anything to do with this.
00:03:50Yeah, and I'm extremely remorseful and I miss Carina.
00:04:09Like, I just, yeah, I'm just, yeah, I'm just stupid.
00:04:11That's...
00:04:12That's...
00:04:18As Paul navigates the consequences of the final task, across the hall, a heartbroken Carina
00:04:26is still processing and attempting to adjust to living in the marital home alone.
00:04:33Paul's actions, yeah, have definitely made me question our relationship.
00:04:38If he was, like, sincere and a realist and, you know, for the right reasons, it's draining.
00:04:49Yeah.
00:04:50It's...
00:04:51You just want to sleep.
00:04:52I feel completely disrespected and embarrassed.
00:04:58My...
00:04:59Like, the person that I am, like, I am such a, like, a loving, caring, gentle person.
00:05:06Like, my soul and, like, try to be the best person I can be.
00:05:13But if anyone, like, oversteps that, obviously my horns are going to come up.
00:05:18And that's exactly what's happened.
00:05:20I just feel like, yeah, that I don't...
00:05:23I don't think there's any coming back from this.
00:05:25Like, I forgave him for other things that happened throughout the experiment.
00:05:29And that was a big one for me.
00:05:37As Carina contemplates her future...
00:05:44The rest of the couples are getting ready for the final dinner party.
00:05:51Tonight is also the last time the group will be together, before final vows.
00:06:00For Ree and Geoff, the final task only solidified their commitment to one another.
00:06:07And with the end of the experiment around the corner, the couple are reminiscing on the good times spent together.
00:06:13Hello.
00:06:15You look so good.
00:06:16Wow, Ree.
00:06:17I love the green.
00:06:18You look awesome.
00:06:20I feel great going into the dinner party with Ree tonight.
00:06:23We're in a great spot.
00:06:24We both said no to the task from the experts.
00:06:27I feel really strong with our relationship.
00:06:29Walking into the last dinner party together, hand in hand, in a romantic, solid relationship feels great.
00:06:34Do you remember our first dinner party?
00:06:36Yeah, I was so nervous.
00:06:37We were both so nervous, yeah.
00:06:38I was so nervous.
00:06:39We were just standing there behind that door shaking.
00:06:41Yeah.
00:06:42And it's weird to think that we were actually friends then.
00:06:44100%.
00:06:45I think, thinking back on that first dinner party, like, yeah, we were friends, but also we just had each other's back.
00:06:51Like, and we, you know...
00:06:52We still held hands going in.
00:06:53Yeah, we held hands.
00:06:54Like, we were supportive of each other.
00:06:55And, like, as scary and as daunting as it was, like, I still knew you were there for me.
00:07:00I never in my wildest dreams thought that I'd be walking into the dinner party with Jeff as strong as we are.
00:07:07Obviously, from walking down the aisle to someone I dated, to being in the friend zone for, like, three or four weeks,
00:07:14to now being at the final dinner party, a really strong couple.
00:07:18It feels very, um, I feel very proud of us.
00:07:21It is.
00:07:22It is crazy thinking about how far we've come.
00:07:24And this is the last night in this house.
00:07:26Last one.
00:07:27A lot of lass.
00:07:28A lot of lass.
00:07:29But many first.
00:07:30On their way.
00:07:31True.
00:07:32The final task has also done wonders for Jackie and Ryan.
00:07:39And peace has been restored to their relationship.
00:07:43But Jackie is feeling sentimental about it being the final dinner party of the experiment.
00:07:53It's been unbelievable for me.
00:07:54I've learned so much from this relationship.
00:07:56I've learned so much from you.
00:07:58I've learned so much from you.
00:07:59You got me gifts.
00:08:00We drank some red wine.
00:08:01We cooked together.
00:08:02Made pasta.
00:08:03Yeah.
00:08:04Yeah.
00:08:05Yeah.
00:08:06Yeah.
00:08:07Yeah.
00:08:08Yeah.
00:08:09Yeah.
00:08:10Yeah.
00:08:11Yeah.
00:08:12I didn't know how open to that I was going to be, but I just, I just let it flow.
00:08:25Despite their united front, unbeknownst to husband Ryan, during the final task, Jackie swapped
00:08:32numbers with the other person she was compatible with.
00:08:36Well, I'll be out of this experiment in probably ten days.
00:08:40Ten days.
00:08:41If you want to give me your number, then I can text you.
00:08:46If you want to stay in touch, we should.
00:08:48That'd be good.
00:08:49Yeah.
00:08:50Yeah.
00:08:51Yeah.
00:08:52Did you tell Ryan that you swapped numbers with Rory?
00:08:54Um, I didn't tell Ryan that I swapped numbers with Rory, but he didn't ask, so it's okay.
00:09:01I think this was a real marriage.
00:09:03And I think we've had the opportunity to go through challenges together and overcome them
00:09:08as a couple.
00:09:09And I think in terms of the most successful marriage, I would say ours is probably the most
00:09:13successful marriage out of all of them.
00:09:20Across the hall, however, it's an entirely different story for Beth and TJ.
00:09:28I mean, obviously, he wrote Lee at the commuting ceremony.
00:09:32Like, if I'd have written Lee, we would have gone and never spoken to each other again.
00:09:36So, we started the week off really, um, it was awkward.
00:09:40It didn't feel nice.
00:09:41It was animosity.
00:09:42We both then chose to go on our final dates with our other matches, which completely threw
00:09:48me.
00:09:49Like, I guess, with the mindset I was going in, I was trying to get some, I guess, get
00:09:56rid of some head noise and see where that sort of pushed me, whether it was to or from
00:10:01you.
00:10:02And it kind of just left me neutral, to be completely honest with you.
00:10:07Excellent.
00:10:09Walking in with TJ tonight is not the nicest feeling.
00:10:12You know, when I go back to our first couple of dinner parties, I always felt so confident
00:10:16and so proud and so good walking in with TJ.
00:10:19Tonight, bit of a different story.
00:10:21There's a lot of tension.
00:10:22Animosity.
00:10:23It's not feeling good.
00:10:24But I think tonight is going to be a big one.
00:10:25The most chaotic of them all.
00:10:27Whilst Beth grapples with a sense of finality, Adrian is embracing the nostalgia of the final
00:10:37days of the experiment.
00:10:39And that's the final dinner party.
00:10:40Actually, it'll be sad.
00:10:42Yeah?
00:10:43I feel like it was yesterday we had our first dinner party and today is the last one.
00:10:48It's all good times and some bad times at these dinner parties.
00:10:52Little does he know why Fafina is still crestfallen after both chose to participate in the final
00:11:00task.
00:11:01I still think if you were to ask Adrian right now what I'm upset about, he would just say
00:11:05she's in a bad mood.
00:11:06Like, he just doesn't understand.
00:11:09You ready to go?
00:11:11Are you excited?
00:11:13He and I failed each other that day.
00:11:17Did you go?
00:11:19Yeah.
00:11:20I went on mine.
00:11:23Yeah, that's fine.
00:11:24I'm not worried.
00:11:25I couldn't care less.
00:11:27Yeah.
00:11:28I don't know.
00:11:29I just expected a stronger reaction from Adrian.
00:11:34I just went and hung out with the guy.
00:11:37Yeah.
00:11:38And you don't care.
00:11:39I care that you went.
00:11:41My perspective was a task.
00:11:43It wasn't a date.
00:11:45It hurts me.
00:11:48Because I know that he is so not aware of the situation and he doesn't understand that
00:11:55his actions have repercussions.
00:11:58He doesn't see me.
00:12:00He only sees himself.
00:12:03He doesn't see me.
00:12:04He doesn't see me.
00:12:05He doesn't see me.
00:12:06He doesn't see me.
00:12:07He doesn't see me.
00:12:08He doesn't see me.
00:12:09He doesn't see me.
00:12:10For Paul, tonight's dinner party marks the first time he will see Carina after a catastrophic
00:12:13end to the final task.
00:12:16As Carina and Paul prepare for the final dinner party in separate rooms, speculation about
00:12:23Paul's participation in the final task continues to circulate through the apartments.
00:12:29I'm pretty disappointed with Paul's behaviour.
00:12:30I thought they were in a great relationship.
00:12:35I feel like he'd probably feel pretty ashamed considering that him and Carina are now in
00:12:40another bad situation.
00:12:42I thought this was the last thing he would do is go on a date.
00:12:46I do not know why Paul did that.
00:12:48Big mistake, bro.
00:12:49I have no idea if they're actually going to be walking in as a couple tonight or separately.
00:12:59I really do hope that Carina walks in with her head held high.
00:13:06Like, what's going on?
00:13:07What's next?
00:13:08I don't know what's going to happen tonight.
00:13:13It's ultimately up to Carina if she forgives.
00:13:19Is she capable of forgiving Paul?
00:13:21Because Paul, I think, is going to be on his hands and knees at this point.
00:13:26Here we are, the very final dinner party of the entire experiment.
00:13:44They're at the pointy end now.
00:13:46They've got to decide, am I going to take this relationship into the real world?
00:13:50So there's a lot at stake tonight.
00:13:53And this week we've given them a final task.
00:13:56Yes, that's right.
00:13:57I mean, we gave them this and it's unprecedented.
00:13:59It's never been done before.
00:14:00It's a polarising task where they were given the choice to meet another potential match.
00:14:05And we did this to find out just how committed they are to one another.
00:14:09We wanted to see how they actually respond to that.
00:14:16Particularly now when they've got to make this final decision.
00:14:19I think what's going to be really telling is finding out who chose to partake in this final task.
00:14:25And how that decision has impacted their relationship.
00:14:28And perhaps even the commitment they had to the relationship in the first place.
00:14:33And it's also a test of resilience for the couple, isn't it?
00:14:37In terms of, okay, if my partner went out and met this other person,
00:14:42is this something we can repair from that we can bounce back from
00:14:45and actually start a new chapter in the relationship?
00:14:52We and Jeff looking loved up, comfortable, happy together, absolutely connected.
00:14:59It's just effortless.
00:15:01It's a lot of love.
00:15:02There's a lot of love.
00:15:03I have so much hope.
00:15:04I cannot wait to see how they show up at the final vows
00:15:10and take this relationship into the real world.
00:15:15The fact that it's the final dinner party, standing here with my husband,
00:15:19we walked in as friends.
00:15:21Obviously, it took us a little while to get here, but we're here.
00:15:24It has been a journey.
00:15:25It sure has.
00:15:26All our hard work that we've put in,
00:15:28I'm just so proud of us that we're here right now, a strong couple.
00:15:31Cheers to the last dinner party.
00:15:32Yeah, cheers.
00:15:33Cheers to our relationship.
00:15:34Yes.
00:15:35Couldn't be more thankful and happy for the hard work we put in and the amazing person
00:15:39and wife I have here today.
00:15:40Oh, of course.
00:15:41Yeah, I'm very thankful and very happy.
00:15:45I can't wait to find out who went on the date.
00:15:48I can't wait either.
00:15:50I'd love to know everyone's, like, reasoning behind if they did go on it.
00:15:54Like, yeah.
00:15:55And like we both said to each other, we were curious of what they look like.
00:15:57Yeah.
00:15:58But there was nothing.
00:15:59That was it.
00:16:00That was where it stopped for me.
00:16:01But now I'm just like, thank God I'm in the relationship with you
00:16:04because I know it's real, you know it's real.
00:16:06Yeah.
00:16:07Just from that last task.
00:16:08It was sort of like the last, I guess, tick of the box for us, I think.
00:16:11There's a difference between curiosity and being curious and actioning.
00:16:15Yeah.
00:16:16That's 100%.
00:16:17Yeah.
00:16:18That's going to be crazy.
00:16:19I cannot wait to find out what's happened.
00:16:20Yeah.
00:16:22Hi, guys.
00:16:23Jamie and Dave.
00:16:25Big smiles.
00:16:27Oh!
00:16:28I'm so excited.
00:16:29It is actually nice to see them walking hand in hand and smiling.
00:16:34Eee!
00:16:35Don't do it.
00:16:37Go on.
00:16:38David, don't do it.
00:16:39Oh!
00:16:42If there wasn't a camera crew in here, I'd give you a right scuff.
00:16:47Cheers, guys.
00:16:48Cheers.
00:16:49Cheers, guys.
00:16:50Cheers.
00:16:51Cheers.
00:16:52Who would have thought?
00:16:53We were just talking about the task.
00:16:54I know you guys.
00:16:55What do you think?
00:16:56What do you think we did?
00:16:57Well, you guys are like the epitome of like, you know, that good piece of toast with butter,
00:17:01like always going to go down well.
00:17:03Oh, thank you.
00:17:04You don't know what we've done yet.
00:17:05Yeah.
00:17:06I know.
00:17:07There's no way.
00:17:08Did you?
00:17:09No.
00:17:10You didn't?
00:17:11No, we didn't.
00:17:12No, we didn't do it.
00:17:13For me, it was just simply because I'm the nosiest bloody bitch.
00:17:16Yeah.
00:17:17I couldn't help myself.
00:17:19I honestly was just like, who is he?
00:17:21And that's why I was when Dave said, I didn't see this other woman.
00:17:24I'm like, why not?
00:17:25And curiosity does kill the bloody cat because like, I still have no idea who this person
00:17:31is.
00:17:32You got stood up.
00:17:33Never even met this man.
00:17:34So it's actually, it was the worst case scenario because I'm like, so now I've done all this.
00:17:39You guys have to have this.
00:17:40You are kidding.
00:17:41The fact, it's actually funny that Jamie took up the offer to go on the date and then got
00:17:46stood up.
00:17:47I think it's quite hilarious.
00:17:49I'm just a nosy bitch.
00:17:50I was like, who is this other person?
00:17:52Yeah.
00:17:53I started speculating.
00:17:54Speaking of speculating.
00:17:55Who else do you reckon went on the date?
00:17:56It's not that bad.
00:18:10Why the **** am I the bad guy now?
00:18:17We've been great.
00:18:18Like we had one more dinner party.
00:18:20You know, I'm pretty good at taking accountability sometimes.
00:18:23And this is one of those times where it's absolutely not my fault.
00:18:26Stop looking so miserable.
00:18:29Adrian, you just don't give a ****.
00:18:31You don't listen.
00:18:32You don't care.
00:18:33You're going to ruin your entire meet.
00:18:34You know what?
00:18:35Maybe you should have asked for a better match.
00:18:38Hey.
00:18:39Hey.
00:18:40Happy everyone.
00:18:41Two packs of calls here.
00:18:42Yeah, mate.
00:18:43Adrian and Nafina.
00:18:44Ah.
00:18:45Pretty low energy.
00:18:47Yep.
00:18:48Entrance for the two of them, isn't it?
00:18:50What's going on, mate?
00:18:51Big day?
00:18:52Oh my God.
00:18:53Yes, they're holding hands, but definitely a lower level of energy and excitement than we're
00:18:58used to.
00:18:59Hello.
00:19:00Hello, hot star.
00:19:01Thanks.
00:19:02Back at you, baby.
00:19:03Oh, about to say.
00:19:04I'm not talking to this.
00:19:05This girl now.
00:19:06Look, Adrian, we definitely weren't talking to you.
00:19:09We're talking to each other.
00:19:10I do want to hear what's going on with Adrian and Nafina.
00:19:13I feel like there's just a lot of pots again simmering, so let's just air it all out tonight.
00:19:18Did you guys go on your catch-up?
00:19:20We did, yeah.
00:19:21Both of us.
00:19:22Hang on, hang on, hang on.
00:19:23You both went on the dice.
00:19:24Yeah.
00:19:25Nafina and Adrian both met their other potential match.
00:19:28Their energy ship is so big.
00:19:30What does that say?
00:19:31If you do have some level of doubt in your relationship, curiosity is still going to be
00:19:36there.
00:19:37I think you and I must have been curious.
00:19:38I had a few questions that I felt like I wanted answers to.
00:19:41That's how I went into.
00:19:42I didn't go out of curiosity to who the other person was.
00:19:44That was my perspective going into that.
00:19:46I looked at it as a task, a different perspective.
00:19:48Do you actually think you looked at it like a task?
00:19:50Adrian's making light of it.
00:19:53Are they acting like they're in a real marriage?
00:19:55Are they considering this relationship with the gravitas and the importance that you
00:19:59would in a real marriage?
00:20:01Hang on, hang on.
00:20:02So you didn't go, you didn't go because of curiosity.
00:20:04I wanted to see why.
00:20:05How, why I was there.
00:20:06Isn't that curiosity?
00:20:07Seeing why?
00:20:08Yeah, that's curiosity.
00:20:09We both were curious and we both said yes to the task.
00:20:12Some of the language he uses is because he's trying to not answer the question.
00:20:16He's avoiding answering the question.
00:20:18Nafina, do you regret going on it?
00:20:20I felt like we failed that task.
00:20:21Like at the end of it, I look, I reflect in hindsight.
00:20:24I was kind of like, I feel like we both failed.
00:20:26So you didn't answer the question.
00:20:27She didn't answer Jeff's question.
00:20:28I did.
00:20:29I actually did.
00:20:30I did, Adrian.
00:20:31Do you listen to me?
00:20:32I mean, you did a big answer.
00:20:33I actually said, I regret it.
00:20:35We both did the challenge, babe.
00:20:37I do regret it.
00:20:38I regret it because I feel like you and I both failed.
00:20:40So I copped it for going and she did it.
00:20:42Figure that one out.
00:20:43Did you actually cop it though, Adrian?
00:20:45You were mad at me.
00:20:46You said you were mad.
00:20:47Let's tell everyone about what my mad looks like, okay?
00:20:49You made the decision.
00:20:50Own it, Adrian.
00:20:51Every time you're upset, you come at me like this.
00:20:53And that's exactly what she did.
00:20:54I'm actually not entertaining you right now.
00:20:56Alright, let's have one.
00:20:57I'm not entertaining you right now, Adrian.
00:20:58I don't care.
00:20:59There's multiple times throughout this environment where I don't feel seen or heard by Adrian.
00:21:04Or sometimes I'm voicing an opinion instead of actually validating your partner.
00:21:08I think he thinks about how it looks rather than how his partner is feeling.
00:21:12When I read that challenge, I was curious and so was he.
00:21:16At times in my relationship, I have wondered why we were paired together.
00:21:20Yeah.
00:21:21And it took weeks for him to even ask me questions about my child.
00:21:24And then when I met this other person, like, you know, they were asking me questions, like,
00:21:27about my son, about my job.
00:21:29Adrian didn't know I had a job three weeks in.
00:21:32Ah.
00:21:33So that's interesting from Afina.
00:21:35I mean, it's hard to know, isn't it, whether Afina has had this realization since the final
00:21:40test or whether she was aware of it throughout the experiment.
00:21:43Yeah.
00:21:44She may not have been ready to see what she already knew.
00:21:46Yeah.
00:21:47Yeah.
00:21:48Oh!
00:21:49Hey!
00:21:50The king and queen of confusion are back.
00:21:53Jackie?
00:21:54Jackie and Ryan.
00:21:55Oh!
00:21:56Oh!
00:21:57Oh, my God, you guys never fail to entertain me!
00:22:01Woo!
00:22:02How are you, my brother?
00:22:04Good, good.
00:22:05It was really nice walking in with Ryan.
00:22:08It was just, like, this acknowledgement of, like, wow, we made it.
00:22:11And we're so glad we had each other and there's no one else.
00:22:15We would have rather done this experiment with.
00:22:17You know, if Ryan and I actually committed final vows, we'll be at each other's graves,
00:22:22you know?
00:22:23Like, there's nothing that could possibly come between us.
00:22:29Did you guys go on their task?
00:22:31Yeah.
00:22:32Yeah, we just...
00:22:34And you're still here together?
00:22:36Yeah.
00:22:37That's right.
00:22:38How the hell does this work?
00:22:39Yeah, like, it's just one of those things where, after all the shit we've been through,
00:22:42like, you know, one little meeting, one little encounter.
00:22:46Yeah.
00:22:47Um...
00:22:48Still got a ring on the finger.
00:22:49Wow.
00:22:50So it...
00:22:51Final test.
00:22:52This final test, this final task has brought Jackie and Ryan closer.
00:22:56Hi!
00:22:57Hey!
00:22:58Yeah!
00:22:59Woo!
00:23:00Oh, Beth and TJ.
00:23:02Hey!
00:23:03Hello, hello!
00:23:04You look stunning!
00:23:05Wow, that's two very separate people entering the room.
00:23:10I would not be surprised for Beth and TJ to have chosen to meet their other matches.
00:23:16They have not been in a good place.
00:23:18Beth.
00:23:19Oh, wow, we're all here.
00:23:20What the hell is going on with you guys?
00:23:22The beginning of the week, obviously, was rough because, obviously, I wrote to stay.
00:23:26He wrote leave.
00:23:27The delusional me was like, if I stay in the week, maybe I'll change his mind.
00:23:31Um, and I don't even know how it turns to sour, but it just completely flipped.
00:23:36I don't...
00:23:37I love Beth, but, like, why are you walking in with this man?
00:23:42Why are you walking in with this man?
00:23:45It makes me sad to think of our, um, wedding or honeymoon to where we are now.
00:23:50We've made some amazing memories, but it makes me sad.
00:23:53Babe, you are being used as a human shield.
00:23:58If this man is not being a good partner, if you have an issue, if you've been crying,
00:24:03if he has completely failed you, walk in by yourself and make a statement.
00:24:09Paul's in a bag of strife.
00:24:11Oh, mate, well, I said to Ree, if this was, like, his first stuff up, then maybe.
00:24:16But, like, he said this is his third.
00:24:18Yeah.
00:24:19I'm like, mate...
00:24:21What's happened?
00:24:24Oh, no.
00:24:25Oh, in baseball, if you have three strikes, what does that mean?
00:24:28Yeah, mate, he's, um, he's out of here.
00:24:30You're out.
00:24:38It's...
00:24:39It's weird, wicked, on my own.
00:24:41I've always walked in, you know, with Corinna, feeling strong, feeling united.
00:24:46You know, we've had, uh, been wipes and nails, but we've always walked in strong.
00:24:52So, yeah.
00:24:53I really grew to be so close with Paul, and it's lonely in the apartment.
00:25:01It's lonely doing this without him, and I'm sure he's feeling the same.
00:25:06Or I would hope he is feeling the same.
00:25:08Yeah, it just doesn't feel right.
00:25:11It feels like something's missing.
00:25:14Someone's missing, obviously, so...
00:25:17I think this feeling right now that I'm feeling is just, yeah, sadness.
00:25:27That, like, uncomfortableness and anxiety where I don't want to be going into situations like these by myself.
00:25:40I'm sad that I'm walking in without him, especially our final dinner party.
00:25:45When everyone sees Paul and I walking in alone tonight, they are going to be absolutely shocked.
00:25:50But he's the one that put us in this position, not me.
00:26:02Oh!
00:26:03Oh, she's on her own.
00:26:06It's crazy.
00:26:11Still to come...
00:26:12I guess we should start with the elephant in the room.
00:26:14Paul faces the firing line.
00:26:16Just can't even fathom why he'd want to even do that or entertain it.
00:26:19I just don't fucking understand it.
00:26:20Guys, I know. I totally get it.
00:26:21She is incredible.
00:26:22I get it. I know.
00:26:23How can you not think of her?
00:26:24I know.
00:26:25If Geoff did something like this to me, I can't see any coming back from that personally.
00:26:31A mistake repeated more than once is a decision, and he has decided to make these choices again and again.
00:26:37Oh, hello!
00:26:53Oh!
00:26:54Oh, she's on her own.
00:26:56It's crazy.
00:26:58Let's go.
00:26:59Let's go.
00:27:00I need a...
00:27:01Yeah.
00:27:02These are gorgeous ladies.
00:27:04Are you okay?
00:27:05Um...
00:27:07I'm okay.
00:27:08Yeah, I'm just trying to collect my dignity and hopefully it's not outside the window at the moment.
00:27:15No, this is not...
00:27:17Yeah.
00:27:18No, I'm okay.
00:27:19This is not on you.
00:27:20Yeah.
00:27:21Have you spoken to Paul at all?
00:27:23He messaged me over the weekend three times.
00:27:26No call.
00:27:27Oh, no.
00:27:29Sounds like maybe Paul went on a date.
00:27:32I'm just trying to suppress the feelings and the emotions and like my way of showing how upset I am is just by putting on a face.
00:27:41And yeah, joking and laughing.
00:27:44Yeah.
00:27:45Yeah.
00:27:46I laugh and smile but really I'm actually cut and I'm disappointed and I'm devastated.
00:27:55Babe, that really sucks.
00:27:56Yeah.
00:27:57That really sucks.
00:27:58And not even a call.
00:27:59As it's like stewing and I'm processing it, I'm just like I'm... it makes me feel sick to my stomach.
00:28:07Like everything that we have built together, it's out the window for me.
00:28:12What did he say when he walked into the house?
00:28:14He ran up to me.
00:28:16I was doing the dishes and he ran up to me and gave me the biggest hug and kiss and was like,
00:28:21I've missed you so much.
00:28:23He's like, I just couldn't wait to see you.
00:28:25And I was like...
00:28:27I was like, Paul.
00:28:28And I just like pulled away from him.
00:28:30And he goes, but like I've missed you so much.
00:28:32We're talking about you the whole time.
00:28:34She just kept asking me questions and all I could do was talk about you.
00:28:37And I was like, not cool.
00:28:39And I just flipped.
00:28:40Okay, I really did not see that coming.
00:28:44We had a couple here talking about how their values were aligned,
00:28:48how they were talking about having children in the future.
00:28:51They were committed and now, less than a few days later,
00:28:56he's off on a date with someone else.
00:28:59It's quite shocking, yeah.
00:29:01Yeah.
00:29:02Have I not done enough?
00:29:04Like have I not made or done any enough to make you feel like we're not too happy to yourself?
00:29:07I definitely don't think that's the case at all.
00:29:09I'm just thinking about if he's got temptation in this experiment,
00:29:13what's going to happen on the outside world.
00:29:15Yeah.
00:29:16And that's what worries me the most.
00:29:17Like, are you kidding me?
00:29:19I feel like if this was the first time this has ever messed up,
00:29:23you probably would have maybe like been a little bit more softer about it.
00:29:26Yeah.
00:29:27They're not little, little mistakes, like they're major.
00:29:30No.
00:29:31This big one has like, hit alarms for me.
00:29:34It's made me question like, what is a soul mate?
00:29:39What, what is a partnership?
00:29:42Like, what is a long lasting relationship?
00:29:46What does that even look like?
00:29:48It's made me question so many things because I thought I had that with Paul.
00:29:53Did he give you a reason?
00:29:54Mm-hmm.
00:29:55What was the reason?
00:29:56He was curious and he thought it would be funny.
00:29:59He used the word funny.
00:30:02I'm sorry, Paul, what are you playing at?
00:30:07You have Karina as your wife and you want to entertain someone else
00:30:13because you're curious and you think it'd be funny.
00:30:16What a f***ing joke.
00:30:18Do you know what's funny now, bruv?
00:30:19You've lost your f***ing wife.
00:30:20That's what's funny.
00:30:21Joke's on you.
00:30:22Joke's on you.
00:30:23I'm sorry, but when he's got you, why would you need to be curious?
00:30:26That's exactly what I said to Jen.
00:30:28Why would you need to be curious?
00:30:29What more do you want, honestly?
00:30:31Babe, I'm sorry.
00:30:32Yeah.
00:30:33And I'm sorry to use the word curious and thought it'd be funny like a joke.
00:30:36Do you think you guys will have a chat tonight or what's your...
00:30:40Have you got a game plan?
00:30:42I don't know.
00:30:43I feel like after everything that Karina has experienced over the past couple of days,
00:30:48like I know, you know, she hasn't really heard from Paul much apart from a few text messages,
00:30:53I felt like today was a great chance for Karina to really tell Paul exactly how she feels
00:30:59and I'm really going to have Karina's back tonight and make sure that she feels heard and seen.
00:31:03It's, um...
00:31:05It's a bad spot to be in, man.
00:31:07Oh, I know.
00:31:08It's shocking.
00:31:09When they walked in on the last new party, Paul was sitting next to me and I said to him,
00:31:15you look like you're in love, bro.
00:31:16Yeah.
00:31:17Like, you look so happy.
00:31:18Yeah.
00:31:19And then this.
00:31:21In his head, he's thinking like, that's not that big a deal.
00:31:25And then obviously now he realises that there's a big deal.
00:31:28It's just been an emotional last couple of days.
00:31:40I'm just feeling anxious.
00:31:41I'm, you know, I'm upset at myself.
00:31:45The whole bunch of emotion is going through my head at the moment.
00:31:49Yeah.
00:31:50I just hope that she can hear me out tonight again.
00:31:54I just hope that she's going to be able to hear.
00:31:58Yeah.
00:31:59We've passed that.
00:32:02I got a coffee and a little patisserie this morning and dropped it off to her at her door
00:32:11and just didn't really, didn't really, didn't really hear from her.
00:32:16So, didn't even get a thank you.
00:32:23It's a tough spot that I'm in at the moment because there's so many times I can apologise for something.
00:32:28There's only so much I can say.
00:32:32Right now, I am going to keep apologising as much as I need to.
00:32:41But she also needs to be receptive.
00:32:45I'm hoping that she is going to be willing to move past that
00:32:49because if she were to decide to throw this relationship after three months
00:32:54when we've actually had an amazing time majority of the time,
00:32:57yeah, I'll be a little bit upset.
00:33:00Knowing that now, you know your final decision to come and find a vows.
00:33:04Yeah, I could be.
00:33:05I don't know.
00:33:06But, um.
00:33:07This is not a group that is receiving him with any enthusiasm whatsoever.
00:33:23you dressed for a funeral uh oh yeah yeah sort of yeah i think you're dressed for your own
00:33:30yes i have what's that no
00:33:34my intention was actually to pull her one-on-one before the dinner party to just have a chat with
00:33:49her to reassure her to tell her how much i want this relationship to continue and to work on the
00:33:53outside and i really hope so with all my heart
00:33:56good night when i talk to you for a second
00:34:04dinner is served
00:34:14hello hello this is indeed the final dinner party it is this group
00:34:44hey this is the last time before going to final vows that they'll get to have this kind of
00:34:51interaction you can sense the excitement in the room yeah thanks i'm loving this and it is no doubt a
00:35:01very shared experience it's unique yeah holy moly last dinner party you guys i know what the hell
00:35:08we're gonna do a cheese to last dinner party yeah yeah sabre's got a drink there really is a very deep
00:35:12bond i think between a lot of people within the experiment i want to say it's been like such a wild
00:35:18ride honestly i'm so glad to have shared this experience with you guys i feel like we've all
00:35:23learned a lot we've laughed we've cried but it's been amazing
00:35:26and i think also what we see tonight there's a finality to it all yeah
00:35:38i just want to like run away from the table and i don't want to sit next to him
00:35:58i want to pick my plate up and move next to reen jeff that's honestly what i want to do
00:36:07paul knows he's up you can see it on his face last week paul was saying that you know they're
00:36:23looking at moving in together after the commitment ceremony that him and karina just had after
00:36:28homestays for him to go on the date it's insane it's going to be interesting to see what the future
00:36:34holds for them does she see herself getting past this is this the end for them can she forgive
00:36:39him can she see his perspective well i guess we should start with elephant in the room um walking
00:36:46in separately is a pretty big statement on the last dinner party and we want to know what's going on
00:36:51do you do you want to go you can go first
00:37:01well look obviously you've all you know we've all we've all had the same task um i
00:37:15try to find the right way to start that i just really want to make it clear guys
00:37:32when i when i took the decision to go there was no it i didn't have any second thoughts i didn't have
00:37:40like it's i was genuinely really happy with my relationship i swear to god and it was just purely
00:37:44i was just being stupidly curious
00:37:47when i got to the location when i was waiting for this person to rack up
00:37:53i genuinely started to realize like that i was doing something wrong
00:37:57when you got there that's when you thought i was doing something wrong
00:38:02yeah when i when i got there i just i started realizing i'm like what the am i even doing here
00:38:09like this is just so wrong i wasn't thinking i just didn't think which is again like the reason
00:38:17why like as as i'm you know getting there to the location when i was there i was like
00:38:21like what the like why are you even here
00:38:24you've got the most amazing woman by her side i just can't even fathom why you'd want to even do
00:38:31that or entertain it i just don't understand it she is incredible i get it i know it's it makes no
00:38:37sense no red flag red flag i really do support karina and i feel like if i was karina and my
00:38:46partner went on a date i'd be livid i'd have thrown his shit out the door yeah i think why it's confusing
00:38:54a lot for us too is because on the commitment ceremony couch you know you mentioned you want
00:38:57karina to meet your parents and you guys are thinking about moving in together and these kinds
00:39:01of things and i know but like i i think like other people could have bet my life that it wouldn't
00:39:05have happened that's why it's confusing i was just isolating i was i know i was isolated in that room
00:39:10and i just i don't honestly like it's like i had a bloody donkey brain for a second it's like i wasn't
00:39:14thinking straight it is not an excuse that's how i was thinking i'm not i'm not trying to justify
00:39:19myself i'm just saying that this is how i was feeling at the moment when i that's what i was thinking
00:39:23when i took this decision now after the last task with the feedback week and you've seen how hurt
00:39:27she was how can you not think of her i know and and this is the whole reason why i'm so upset at
00:39:32myself because again and like i said i wasn't considering her feelings when i took that decision
00:39:37and i'm just here how can you not think of karina she's always maintained those boundaries very
00:39:45strictly in the relationship how could you not the sleeping arrangements with everybody and how like
00:39:51uncomfortable she felt even i get it and then like on feedback week when you did go behind her back
00:39:56again and said stuff that she said in confidence like why don't you think that you're thinking of
00:40:00these things at these moments like guys i know i totally i totally get it
00:40:04it just yeah just it was just like just negative things after negative things bang bang bang and i was
00:40:13just like i was just sitting there thinking okay holy like it just i kind of felt like we were just
00:40:19only focusing on the on the bad on the wrong tonight um and on all the things that i did wrong and
00:40:27yeah it kind of just feels like that all the good things that i've done was just
00:40:31or has been almost forgotten it's like
00:40:34how was the day paul how was the day it was honestly i'm serious i actually want to know
00:40:43no but i'll tell you guys it was the most uncomfortable most awkward interaction ever
00:40:48i was being polite i was just asking the bare minimum the most basic question
00:40:51the entire day i was actually was talking about karina the whole time to the point where this
00:40:58this poor woman was like why are you here and i said to her
00:41:00in all honesty i i i don't know i should not be here and honestly it was so awkward i just wanted
00:41:05to run away even when you got home and karina explained to ray and myself when you got home
00:41:11your reaction was like bizarre to me like you came in you're kissing her and saying oh i went on the
00:41:15date but it was like i'll explain that when i go back to the apartment i was genuinely so happy to
00:41:22see her face and i i literally gave her the biggest hug and the biggest kiss i was feeling so awkward
00:41:26because obviously i was about to say i went on that date i was telling her obviously everything
00:41:30i've just told you guys i told karina like how awkward it was and everything and blah blah blah
00:41:34right and i was really doing my best to try to give her as much for assurance telling her like
00:41:38how much i was i still value our relationship how much i liked her how much i still want this to
00:41:42continue and i understand she was so upset this she couldn't hear anything else
00:41:45was it just curiosity did you need some clarity did you need a different perspective like no i
00:41:56didn't i didn't need like honestly genuinely i know it's so hard to believe because i was in
00:42:00such a good place we're in such a good place i was so happy with my relationship with myself
00:42:04with karina with everything clearly not but were you truly happy with your relationship
00:42:08you wouldn't have gone on a date the group is holding him to account and it's almost like no
00:42:22matter what he says tonight it's not gonna land i mean looking at karina now she looks sad yeah she does
00:42:29because i want to know what karina actually thinks guys guys guys can karina speak how do you feel babe
00:42:49guys guys guys guys guys can karina speak how do you feel babe
00:42:57yeah look there's i didn't see this one coming whatsoever
00:43:06i feel like now there's a massive question mark in our relationship
00:43:14um yeah i can't really look at you the same way
00:43:19i don't think you were considering my feelings
00:43:26in any way
00:43:30the biggest thing not only have you disrespected me but you've disrespected
00:43:35yourself and my family and family's everything to me and i can't believe that you didn't even
00:43:42consider that like you were just so shut off from considering your partner your wife and then
00:43:48everything else that you just went through the week before you just you jumped at the the idea and
00:43:54that's what worries me if it's so easy to do that in this experiment what's going to happen on the
00:43:59outside world when you do get attention
00:44:03are you going to go the extra mile if you're interested in the girl because she's attractive and
00:44:07she's your your i understand that this is what you think that this could potentially happen on the
00:44:12outside the the reassurance that i can give you right now is so first of all obviously this i i
00:44:19i took that as a task and i didn't think once again i would have i would have never gone out of my
00:44:25way to sneak out go see someone else i just want you to know that i don't have that in me i'm not
00:44:32i'm not the kind of guy who has this capability of sneaking out behind your back to go meet with
00:44:37other people and end it wrong by you behind your back you did go meet with someone else no no i know
00:44:44no i know but like it's it's like like i didn't organize what i'm what i'm just what i'm just trying
00:44:48to say is like i didn't organize you didn't organize it so just say you're a bar right and you say
00:44:52you don't go out of your way but what's if there's an opportunity and a girl comes up to you
00:44:55that's not going out of your way i know but that's presented to you absolutely so yeah
00:45:01he didn't have to go there was the choice to go there was the choice to not go
00:45:08the fact that you went that is not something that's going to be in any way security for her
00:45:13in the relationship
00:45:17i simply wasn't considering karina's feelings
00:45:20but you even got upset with the experts paul about saying that you lack emotional intelligence
00:45:27that is exactly another example of you i get that i've 100 percent liked emotional
00:45:31intelligence when i took that decision i get that i get that i'm not going to sit there and
00:45:35just justify myself but i'm just saying like obviously i'm not just going to brush off this
00:45:39situation like of course and i don't expect you to deal for me and you giving me the bare minimum
00:45:45i just thought that maybe kareena was going to be a little bit more just to be more receptive
00:45:53she is still quite upset she's still in that in that funny weird headspace you know she's still she's
00:46:00still yeah she's still re-questioning the the relationship she's still questioning my sincerity and
00:46:06so yeah i just need to i just need i need to do everything to reconnect with her and to regain her
00:46:13trust paul can i just say the reason is pisses me off so much she has stood by you through everything
00:46:19this experiment as soon as you have the opportunity to jump ship you did it and it's really rude i can't
00:46:24believe it so much you've hurt her so much i know and we thought that as a couple they had worked so
00:46:31hard to repair from some of their early troubles and there was forgiveness in the mix and yep this
00:46:36is a woman who has stood by his side she may have got to her tipping point maybe he got overly confident
00:46:44because she has been so steady yeah i just again like i just i just regret i just regret so much taking
00:46:51that decision i i've just shot myself in the foot i've ruined my entire relationship i've just i've just
00:46:56it's what's really disappointing and i feel like if jeff did something like this to me i can't see
00:47:03any coming back from that personally for me it would take me so long to get over something like this
00:47:10if if at all and i think just because of the other couple of hiccups that you've had
00:47:16like it's just put you both of you in such an awful position
00:47:19like i said i wasn't considering how you were going to feel and this is the real this is what
00:47:26i'm this is what i'm regretting right now and i'm so sorry for again putting you in that situation
00:47:33karina's a very forgiving person but if karina doesn't move on from it i absolutely understand
00:47:38why it'd be a very hard thing to move on from when there's been other issues along the way that i
00:47:43portray to trust and i'm sorry for making you question yourself and re-question the whole relationship
00:47:49and my sincerity and everything else i genuinely don't know why i did it there's no ifs or buts
00:47:57about it he's betrayed karina's trust time and time again and there's going to be a lot of making
00:48:03up to do if they'd ever come back from that if she accepts that
00:48:09there'd have to be a lot of ground to make up in order for them to come back from it right now for sure
00:48:13i'm actually pissed off at myself even because i'm like that's not me that's not who you are like
00:48:20normally you think things through you know so yeah again like i'm yeah so after what has happened
00:48:28with paul and karina over the past three months i couldn't forgive paul and i hope she doesn't forgive
00:48:34paul because i feel like a mistake repeated more than once is a decision and he has decided to make these
00:48:40choices again and again to me that's unforgivable again like when i took the decision i was just
00:48:47being so silly i didn't think and again i wasn't considering how you were going to feel and then
00:48:52i'm so sorry for that and i genuinely regret that so much and i'm hating that i'm putting you in this
00:48:57position in this position like seriously i just hope that you're willing to move past that
00:49:19so silly i didn't think and again i wasn't considering how you were going to feel and then
00:49:23i'm so sorry for that and i genuinely regret that so much and i'm hating that i'm putting you in this
00:49:29position like seriously i just hope that you're willing to move past that sorry in all my previous
00:49:45relationships in my entire life i've never chitted on anyone i'm seriously hating myself for what i've
00:49:51done i'm hating myself and i've never sneaked out behind any of my partner's back to do anything
00:49:56dodgy i've apologized to karina multiple times i want to apologize to you again in front of everyone
00:50:02here i was being completely oblivious i didn't think i wasn't did you read that part to afina yeah i read
00:50:10it like that yeah i'm sorry sorry for putting you in a situation for making you question yourself
00:50:19i'm actually embarrassed and i'm sorry i want to apologize if i've hurt you if you felt attacked
00:50:26because i care but do you hear what i'm saying like when i say like it just made me feel oh i feel sick
00:50:33oh i know i'm sorry come here
00:50:35it's not enough
00:50:49it's not good enough continuously apologizing and saying sorry is not enough you're not even giving
00:50:57me any form of validation like you could have picked up the phone and you chose not to you
00:51:01didn't call me you called the boys and you obviously got reassurance from the boys but you didn't call
00:51:06me let i finish no no you didn't call me we're in the same apartment complex it would make me realize
00:51:14okay maybe he actually cares when he wants to fight for me and he's showing me that he's sorry in other
00:51:20ways like surely you've noticed by the other ups that you did that all i wanted was your affection
00:51:29you might feel like i want space but no i really want you to try really really hard to win me over
00:51:33and make me make me feel like you're you only wanted to see me at all because i wasn't getting
00:51:39no reply from me i just thought she just doesn't want to see me at all i was i just all i wanted
00:51:44to do was even like just one one takes back just an acknowledgement saying like look i just need my
00:51:49space i need my time like i'm just not ready to talk to you yet that's that's that's all it would
00:51:53have been it would have been good no no no no no no no i know i'm in the wrong let me just finish
00:51:59because i was being fully ghosted
00:52:15i know you don't tell me the stories you matched eight months ago what happened
00:52:22we went on a hike never spoke to him since
00:52:25he ghosted me yeah do you remember when we went on that first hike and then and then we went to go
00:52:35out for dinner that saturday night remember that i started getting ready and i came to meet you out
00:52:40and you said i'm so sorry it's just gonna be a boy's night but i really really really want to see you
00:52:45and then i was like what the i was like what is happening because it's bringing back memories you're not
00:52:50consistent yeah didn't really appreciate him saying that i ghosted him because it's making me think
00:52:58like wow well that's rich coming from you this is bringing back like it's making me feel like you
00:53:04you generally are not interested in this so yeah like have you not heard in my turn of wars because
00:53:08like are you serious the biggest thing that offends me so much and i feel so betrayed is that you
00:53:15literally were in my family home the week before paul my dad gave you the yes like that does not
00:53:21happen you came into my home we treated you like a son the world was given to you everything that you
00:53:29wanted then the next week you're going on a date with another woman i'm sorry how am i going to wrap
00:53:34my head around these things and that is the ultimate disrespect like just just imagine if your sister's
00:53:39partner or boyfriend did this to her how would you as a brother feel would you be protective and
00:53:44overbearing would you what would you do so imagine your sister in my position
00:53:55this is why we put this final task right before final vows to test our couple's commitment to one
00:54:01another and that's so important before they make that final decision real life is so much more nuanced
00:54:08and complicated but it's not until this happens that we really get the full picture
00:54:19i never meant to hurt karina i never made me feel so insecure you've made me feel like i'm not
00:54:25worthy you've made me feel like i'm not good enough for you do you feel that that trust can be rebuilt
00:54:30i don't know i don't know how to feel yeah the effort needs to be put in because you'll never
00:54:39know otherwise you can't just give up the only thing i want to say is like you know like we've
00:54:42had it and mate we've had an amazing experiment we've had an amazing time we've had like little
00:54:46ups and downs throughout the experiment but overall it's been you've had i mean correct me if i'm wrong
00:54:50but we've had an amazing time a beautiful time and i did a massive up and i do realize that
00:54:56which is why i feel like all of that has like fully just gone out the window for me all of
00:55:02that has gone out the window because i'm trying to figure out if you're genuine or not
00:55:07all i hear are words and paul trying to justify his reasoning continuously apologizing and saying
00:55:16sorry and i've heard it so many times that it's like it's like you're a broken record
00:55:22try harder no i'm a i'm a catch anyone would die to be with me i'm a catch and that's that
00:55:29sorry i'm a catch yeah i'm just doing you're great you're great that's what you're here for
00:55:34you're great don't don't bow yourself well no i'm apparently i'm just you just have to try
00:55:54a lot of the question that i would that i was asking to karina obviously like yes some of
00:55:57some of her answers were extremely hard to extremely hard to hear hard to scroll over
00:56:05yeah okay and i guess once again i've just put myself in that situation so
00:56:09i guess i just got what i deserve i don't i don't know
00:56:35sorry guys give me two seconds
00:56:39so
00:56:54so
00:57:09so damn smart that's literally one of my favorite things is i can i can engage with
00:57:22you on so many levels and sometimes get lost along the way so yeah
00:57:25someone's getting laid tonight
00:57:29imagine being at a dinner party where you're like jackie and ryan are one of the strongest
00:57:37relationships we have well that's that's a that's a tough day in the office right there
00:57:44we haven't spoken about you guys you guys both went on the date yeah what was your reasoning
00:57:49behind it because i wanted to make sure that at final vows we're making the best decision
00:57:53possible i've really put our relationship to the test and made me question what a marriage
00:57:59really is and like how much ryan and i have gone through in the three months that we've
00:58:04had and like all the ups and downs and the fact that we've been so resilient and that
00:58:08we're still committed to one another do you think it brought you stronger together because
00:58:13that is a remarkable turnaround in our eyes like i took this task very seriously with my
00:58:19whole heart in it and i can say ryan is one of like the strongest men i've ever met he's
00:58:25one of the most physically attracted men i've ever met i'm now attracted to him so like in
00:58:32terms of would i consider you as a potential life partner absolutely yes
00:58:42in life with the grass may look greener but the question is whether you want to go into
00:58:47the grass and whether you want to actually move to that grass and like that's what marriage
00:58:52is about it's being like you know i'm gonna admire the green grass over there but like that's
00:58:56not my grass my grass is here and i'm gonna what do they say the grass isn't greener on
00:59:04the other side the grass is greener where you water it and that's what ryan and i have been
00:59:08doing over the past three months we're still watering our grass and it's still growing we're happy
00:59:13i know we both went on the date the fact that she did show up in a lot of different ways afterwards
00:59:20that like that reassured me i think you've i think you've really grown into understanding
00:59:26my perspective it's a shitty feeling watching a couple like jackie and ryan who had some very real
00:59:33issues regardless of the last week to get stronger and then when push came to shove adrian and i really
00:59:41crumbled and i'm yeah i'm disappointed and i don't feel great
00:59:45i've actually said from day one these guys are going to be the one that actually last
00:59:53and i keep saying that everyone calls me crazy and i'm gonna stay on my word here i've been pretty
01:00:03good at predicting certain things i'm gonna say once the experiment ends they're gonna stay together
01:00:09for some time yeah yeah it makes no sense to me or anyone else but it makes sense to them and
01:00:15that's why post experiment they're gonna stay together and shock everyone and i said it here first
01:00:21was your was your date more compatible adrian no no so me and her we did have things in common
01:00:31like what or was she starting a business i have my own business she's into the gym same as afina but
01:00:39we had to say you know the only difference was perth is the furthest state away from my family's
01:00:45base so yeah we're on the date i sort of think came to realization that um the long distance is
01:00:53the hardest challenge and i was careful afina but um yeah i'm not willing to do long distance for a long
01:01:00period of time so i feel pressured that i have to make the move to perth and yeah no it is a massive
01:01:06decision we both said we were willing to do long distance are you prior to this commitment ceremony
01:01:15last week i was like yeah for a short period of time yes but then we did this dating and i asked
01:01:20myself why did i go why so now you're questioning if you actually have strong feelings for afina or not
01:01:25no i do care for her there's no if buts and maybes i've spent 12 weeks one of the best experiences i
01:01:31had in my life i think when we're good it's good i think it's great and i think we have fun
01:01:36and we don't actually worry about anything else besides the present moment spending time with each
01:01:43other but again do i care enough to pack up bags tomorrow and leave no
01:01:48i feel like everything's turned quite a bit i'm so confused by adrian in one stance you go you know
01:02:03i could see a long distance relationship with the female then another instance you say i'm not sure
01:02:08when i voice my concerns i do feel like sometimes he tries to brush everything under the rug
01:02:14yes i like adrian i've got a physical attraction to adrian my feelings definitely have grown but
01:02:21do i have doubt that we're going to survive a long distance relationship yes
01:02:26i said then we did this date thing this week and like i said me and finna we're like we did
01:02:35it's funny though this language you're using right now you didn't use when you came back to that room
01:02:41that day i was the one questioning why you and i did it you didn't even seem to care but i feel like
01:02:47there was a lot of questions on my end a lot of conviction in regards to this task and this long
01:02:52and this long distance relationship but i feel like you skirted around everything but you come in
01:02:58tonight and like to everyone it was a date and yeah i regret it and long distance seems almost
01:03:05unachievable right now i felt pressured that you want to answer from me that i cannot give you right
01:03:11now i'm feeling pressured that if i don't move this doesn't work i just feel like your language today
01:03:17is so different to your language when you know exactly where i stand i don't really see myself
01:03:23moving right now i've said from the start do i see myself moving you know for the right person
01:03:28eventually maybe one day if that i don't know for the right person that's issue adrian let's not hide
01:03:35behind this challenge adrian let's not hide behind long distance i am not the right person say it
01:03:44say it
01:03:59i've said from the start do i see myself moving you know for the right person eventually maybe one day
01:04:04if that i don't know for the right person that's issue adrian let's not hide behind this challenge
01:04:10adrian let's not hide behind long distance i am not the right person say it
01:04:21yeah right now it's uncertainty
01:04:26would you move to sydney absolutely not there you go you're both answering that off like emotion right now
01:04:37do you see any point going to final vows
01:04:44um no absolutely right this instant no a big no
01:04:55i feel like the reasons i'm here aren't good enough to have given up
01:05:01what i have
